Briefing by Mr. Tarek Mitri SRSG for Libya - Meeting of the Security Council 16 September 2013
Mr. President,
1. You have received the Report of the Secretary-General which provides information on the work of UNSMIL over the past six months and offers a sober reading of political and security developments in Libya during that period. A combination of internal and regional dynamics continues to place a huge strain on the political processes taking place in the country, which compounds further the difficult tasks facing the Libyan authorities, both the Government and the General National Congress, as they strive to ensure that the country's transition moves peacefully forward.
2. During the last three months, we have seen more pronounced political disagreements among the various political forces. The main political blocs within the General National Congress decided, separately, to suspend their participation as organized political parties, in the work of national political institutions. Although partially reversed, these decisions were in large part a reaction to wide-spread popular discontent with political parties and reflected an accentuated polarization in public life.
3. There is also a regional dimension to the significant political changes in Libya. Recent developments, particularly in Egypt and Tunisia, have had a palpable effect on the political scene and greatly influenced the behaviour of some political forces. These events have injected a sense of unease into the political system as different political actors reassessed their positions regarding the major problems confronting Libya and the region more generally.
Mr. President,
4. The recent and severe disruption of the country's oil exports, following protests at a number of terminals, mostly in the east, has grave consequences for Libya's economic stability. The disruption has compelled Libya's National Oil Company to take the unprecedented measure of declaring a force majeure, indicating its inability to meet contractual export obligations. Conflicts related to oil terminal protection and federalist demands in eastern Libya are at the core of the protests.
5. In a country where oil revenues account for approximately 80% of Libya's gross national product and 97% of exports, the Libyan government faces the dangerous prospect of not being able to meet its financial obligations unless a resolution to this crisis is reached imminently. We believe that the resolution of this crisis, as well as of the many others confronting Libya, through peaceful means is vital to the country's national interest and its ability to make meaningful progress in its transition. In this context, we also urge all parties to desist from the manipulation of Libya's resources for political ends.
Mr. President,
6. With regard to the development of new legislation, the adoption of a law on transitional justice remains pending before the plenary of the General National Congress. UNSMIL believes that passage of such a law is vital to helping Libya deal with many of its past tragedies and crimes. It is equally essential in facilitating the difficult process of national reconciliation.
7. The situation of many of the estimated 8,000 conflict-related detainees remains problematic. While the Ministry of Justice has reported a reduction in complaints, reports of deaths in custody torture and other forms of ill-treatment continue to be a source of concern. However, UNSMIL has observed a marked improvement in conditions and treatment of detainees in centres that are effectively under the authority of the ministry of Justice and where there are experienced and trained judicial police officers.
8. There have been new developments regarding the trials of senior members of the Qadhafi regime. Further to the conviction and sentencing to death on 31 July of Ahmed Ibrahim, former Minister of Education and Information, the trials of some 35 defendants, including Saif al-Islam Qadhafi, are expected to commence soon.
9. In this regard, UNSMIL continues to underline the need for a coherent approach to secure acceptable standards in the prosecution of former regime officials, so as to avoid random charges and contribute to establishing a historical record of the crimes committed under the former regime. Ensuring fair trails for former regime officials will test the Libyan judicial institutions in the coming months. The prevailing security situation in the country and the continuing attacks on judges, lawyers and courthouses continue to present a formidable challenge to the authorities.
Mr. President,
10. In spite of the numerous difficulties and uncertainties, I am pleased to report that the Libyan constitution-making process has made some progress, with the adoption by the General National Congress of a law for the election of the Constitution Drafting Assembly.
11. UNSMIL had advocated for special measures for better representation of women in the constitution drafting assembly. However, the adopted electoral law provides limited representation for women, granting them six reserved seats in the sixty member assembly, lower than the 16% allotted to them in the July 2012 elections to the General National Congress.
12. For their part, cultural and ethnic minorities were granted six reserved seats. Some of their influential organisations and personalities are quite assertive in demanding that constitutional issues pertaining to their cultural and linguistic rights should be decided upon by consensus rather than by a two-thirds majority of the sixty member assembly, as stipulated in the Constitutional Declaration. The constitutional drafting process presents an opportunity for the Libyan people to forge a new social contract that will govern the new Libya, making imperative therefore that it be transparent, consultative and inclusive.
13. A new Board for the permanent High National Election Commission was recently selected. With the full support of the UN Electoral Team in the various areas of its work, the Commission is actively engaged in planning and preparing the elections to the Constitution Drafting Assembly.
Mr. President,
14. The security problems in Libya are still, arguably, the predominant concern for the Libyan people. Since my last briefing to the Council, there have been armed clashes in Tripoli between rival revolutionary brigades. Due to the limited state capacity to secure the capital, the newly elected President of the General National Council, Mr. Nouri Abu Sahmein assigned the task of protecting the city to the Libyan Revolutionaries' Operation Room, a coalition of revolutionary brigades.
15. Tensions among various political, tribal and armed groups have also escalated into confrontations in various parts of the country resulting in several deaths. Assassinations of security figures, mostly in the east, and more recently of political activists and journalists, improvised explosive devices, attacks against members of the diplomatic community, threats against the UN and general criminality continue in the face of weak state security institutions. Border security is increasingly a critical issue that the authorities have yet to address efficiently.
16. Progress in integrating revolutionary fighters into the police and the Libyan army remains very limited, as is their reintegration into civilian life. In an attempt to encourage revolutionaries to enlist in the army, and to improve the salary scale for current uniformed personnel, the Government recently announced an increase in salaries for the military, effective from January 2014. The Government has also announced that it is moving forward with the training of twelve to fifteen thousand soldiers outside of Libya. Restructuring the army and addressing the inflated ranks of the officer corps, is an urgent priority. The Libyan police continue to integrate individuals from the armed brigades. Some are already enlisted and many more are in the vetting and enrolment process.
17. The Government's preoccupation with the deteriorating security situation and the increasing divisions among political groups and revolutionary brigades have all inhibited the development of a solid, coordinated and effective national security system.
Mr. President,
18. When I last briefed the Council in June, I alluded to the enormous difficulties confronted in the aftermath of four decades of despotic rule. Next month marks the two-year anniversary since the fall of the authoritarian regime. It is more evident today that pre-conceived ideas about political transition are likely to be a recipe for disappointment, if not failure. Free and fair elections may have augured a democratic process but they raised more expectations than what the political institutions and forces have been capable of meeting.
19. Today, there is a sense of skepticism, and perhaps of rejection, with which the Libyan people view the political process. But this should not be mistaken for a loss of faith in national unity, democracy and the rule of law. Their commitment to the principles for which they fought their revolution remains deep. The Libyan experience has demonstrated the urgency of an inclusive dialogue and consensus-building on national priorities during the transition period as well as regarding guiding principles, norms of governance and basic rules of political action.
Mr. President,
20. In response to the increasing demand across the political spectrum, for a national dialogue that can address the country's faltering transition, the Libyan authorities agreed on preparing and convening this dialogue. A national dialogue would provide a platform for engaging political, revolutionary, traditional and other actors in discussing urgent national issues and seeking consensus on strategies, as well as basic principles, that ought to govern political life in the transitional period until the adoption of a new constitution and the holding of new elections.
21. In my meetings with the leaderships of the General National Congress and the Government, I noted a shared belief that a national dialogue process would allow for the Libyan national interest to prevail over factional, regional and short-term interests. In light of the growing disillusionment with the political process, such a dialogue would give voice to many Libyans and opens a space that does not exclude any of those who may have contributions to make to public life and are otherwise isolated, separated or entrenched in their partisan attitudes. It would also promote a national capacity to address urgent priorities and ensure public support to the efforts of state-building, more particularly in the security and justice sectors.
22. There have been increasing calls for UNSMIL to play an active role in initiating and facilitating national dialogue. We will not shy away from shouldering our responsibility but will continue insisting that the process should be Libyan-convened and Libyan-led. I have assured the Libyan authorities, time and again, as well as many political leaders and opinion-makers of UNSMIL's readiness and commitment to give advice and technical support to dialogue endeavors, whatever the form they may take. It is our hope that these efforts will come to fruition in the near future.
Thank you.

What's the popular opinion regarding the two card slots? Assuming you are using the 2nd slot as a duplicate backup, which is what I plan to do, do most people stick to the same size card in both slots? I've read that it's good practice to put different sizes in. For example, a 64gb in slot A but a 128gb in slot B. Presumably so that the recording continues whilst you're swaping over the smaller card when it's full?
Tbh, as I'm just starting out (with the FS5), and I've just spent about £300 on 6x 64gb cards (M series), which might be sufficient for a full days filming if I were to just use 3 cards in both slots. But I was planning on having 4x 64gb cards for slot A and 3x 128gb cards for backups in slot B, but I just can't run to the cost of the 128gb M series cards.
However, now that I have 6x 64gb cards (and they are cheaper than the larger cards), should I continue to puchase this size card or aim to buy a 128gb for the backup slot?

You'll find new items on the menu the next time you visit Roosters at 211 Dauphin St. The Latin experience keeps getting Latin-er. With downtown air so hot you can chew it, the first thing you'll need is one of their new aguas frescas. Lemonade, strawberry, hibiscus and a seasonal flavor of the day should help to cool you off. They also have Jarritos.
The new carne asada burrito is already a crowd favorite. What's not to like in a burrito stuffed with grilled chipotle steak, black bean spread, hatch green chilis and enough cheese to cover a pizza? It's even better after they grill it and top it with ranchero sauce and crema. In owner Frankie Little's words: "Simply put, a beautiful case study of a well-made burrito."
Of course the tacos are wonderful and the sandwiches are over the top (try the Cuban or torta de carnitas), but save room for dessert. I'm all about the coconut tres leches or Cammie's Mexican vanilla ice cream in an Abita root beer float.
Roosters has also formed an exclusive partnership with Port City Deliveries for you couch potatoes who melt in the summer heat. Check out roostersdowntown.com.
Delish Bakery and Eatery now serving breakfast
What has been a Mobile favorite lunch spot for years is now in the breakfast game. Delish Bakery and Eatery (aka Delish's Desserts) at 23 Upham St. slipped under the radar with a new breakfast special every weekday starting at 7 a.m. Imagine my surprise after I dropped Baby Henry off at daycare and noticed the cars on my way home. I wheeled onto Upham for a closer look, and the smell lured me in.
Apparently they've been doing this for a couple of months with little promotion. My first visit landed me a plateful of biscuits and sausage gravy. They were spectacular. The grits here are thick, creamy and just as good as the biscuits, and you may know me as a grits snob. On my next visit I took home a ham, egg and cheese hash-brown casserole, which begged for some thick, Louisiana "red dot" hot sauce. I drained the bottle and cleaned my plate. They do roll out the breakfast and lunch specials on their Facebook page, so plan accordingly if you aren't up for the surprise,
I'm certain the croissants, Conecuh biscuits and French Toast casseroles won't disappoint should you land on those days, but whatever the case, this breakfast, like their lunches, is enough for two. The only problem I have with eating here is that there are chess squares staring me in the face when I go to pay my bill. Do you know what it's like eating chess squares for breakfast dessert? I do. Do you know what it's like saying no to chess squares? I don't.
They usually have fresh fruit and such, but that doesn't go as well with coffee.

Hello to the English Department, thank you for joining me here as I would like to present to you my views on why a Film Club would be a huge benefit to our school. I will go over my opinions on the important differences and similarities that cinema and literature share. Both are different types of artistic media and deserve an equal amount of respect, but film club would be a great idea for all the film fanatics who enjoy and appreciate its art form. Both contribute different aspects, with cinema it may be its visuals and sounds as for literature with its text and how much it connects with its reader. I also constructed a diagram to show you all these different elements cinema and literature can provide and what they provide as a unit. (not included here) I hope all my input may be taken into consideration so we can get our very first film club started.
A whole lot in common lies within these two media forms. One of the similarities would have to be how they both portray characterization. Movies may rely more on the makeup and personal styles of the characters, as for literature the author has to use enough information and description about a character so that the reader can visualize it without having to see the actual image. A novel may have more work cut out for itself in order to get the reader to imagine every detail about a characters appearance, personality, and their individual styles. A skilled author can pull this task of with ease. Idiosyncrasies are often used to tell us all the little details and quarks that make a character unique and both novels and films tend to manifest them very well.
Something else books and movies have in common may be their use of structure. Everything on screen connects in away. They both follow a certain sequence that has to make sense to the reader and or viewer. There are certain movies that go with the whole "out of order" theme or genre but always tend to come together by the end. And speaking of genres thats another big thing in common with motion pictures and literature. A genra is described as a category of artistic composition marked by a distinctive style, form, or content. So as it all comes together everything we see and read should be logical, clear and understandable. As Gordon Harvey stated in his "Elements of the Academic Essay" there always should be a "development" or "complication" and more importantly exploration of the topic presented. Both of these medians tend to use topics that present a structure to them.
Another similarity with novels and cinema would have to be how they try to make us feel a certain way. They try to change our mood, a lot of times with movies it's with sound. A very eerie sound may trigger that something bad is about to occur or a cheerful song may lead us to think something good will happened. A great soundtrack/score of a motion picture takes a somewhat ok movie up a level. On the other hand I feel like a movie uses much less description because everything can be plainly seen unlike a book which has to describe everything to the last little detail to have a person imagine what something or someone actually looks like. In books the author tries to describe the scene in such a specific way to make us feel as if we can actually feel the emotion the plot or character is trying to evoke. The plots usually make more sense in a book because the point of the book is to tell a story and not have it be visually spectacular. Books let our imagination and creative minds go to work.
Cinematography differs a film from literature. Visually we can't see anything a book is trying to describe. Sure we can use our imaginations but in a movie everything is in your face. It is much quicker to understand what if being described to us in the film with just one shot of it on the screen rather than having to read a lengthy description of it. Cinematography is a technique of a motion picture photography which is something that books lack. Eisenstein mentioned that "cinematography is, first, and foremost, montage". This idea of montage also connects these two medians together. Montage according to him was connecting shots that may have one single meaning into a series. This would create a "product" of two things that connect intellectually. Books share the same thing they connect two ideas to paint one big picture for us.
A huge difference between these two art forms would have to be the way they are both viewed. With a novel it is very unlikely that you are reading the same book at once. It is a more personal experience. Reading a book also takes longer than let's say watching an hour long movie. A film is more so viewed and made for a larger audience, we most often go and watch motion pictures with one or more people. On the movie screen what you see is what you get but with books when you discuss it with your friends they can have a totally different point of view on the characters than you may have. Everyone has a different imagination. Another difference would be that in a novel you have no bad acting or poorly made visual effects. Nothing can ruin a movie more than a poorly chosen actor/actress for the role. In your mind while reading a book you can think a character is someone very attractive and when watching a movie version the character may not meet the expectations the reader will have. Lastly in most cases a movie has to cut out scenes, sometimes huge chunks of the story is removed and or replaced becasue the producers of the movie may be focused more on appealing to a bigger audience. Readers may find that very disappointing. No one wants to see their favorite scene removed from a book.
In conclusion I believe that Queens College is ready to have our very own Film club started in the English Department. Both literature and cinema have a lot of great aspects to offer. They have apparent differences but just as much similarities with each other. I would like to say thank you for letting me present to you my views on everything. I'm hoping everything I mentioned is taken into consideration as the right decision is made.

Mikitra has great pics..
After 4 dates women want to start getting to know you, you have already hooked her in, so playing cool, acting mysterious, gaming her, and not answering questions is not going to work..
The other thing I found to be curious is that you have a full paragraph describing your friendship with Dan. How you met, how your relationship has been, why you still talk - a good summary of your relationship with this friend. You put in a little effort to allow us to get to know and understand that relationship. But what about your boyfriend? All we know here is the negative actions he's taken. I don't know - I find that curious..
she already said she will go to movie with me sometime. will she say no to me if i ask her to go to the movie with me on july 4th?.
middle rack = wow.
TGSR: A lot has changed with approving when compared to years back. The site being more popular comes with a price. Pics that were approved years back can't be approved today..

Katie Taylor says she is "thankful and relieved" that her father is recovering well from a shooting at Bray Boxing Club.
Bobby Messett died in the shooting on Tuesday morning that left two others injured.
Pete Taylor, from whom Katie says she has been estranged for a number of years, was hospitalised with his injuries.
Katie offered her condolences to Mr Messett's family in a statement released to the Irish Times.
"First and foremost, I would like to wish my most heartfelt condolences to the family of Bobby Messett for their tragic loss," she said.
"I can't imagine the despair or the sense of injustice they must be dealing with. I'm praying they know God's comfort in the hard days ahead."
She said her father is recovering from the attack.
"I understand there is still a lot of uncertainty about the nature of the incident but I'm hoping the gardaí will get to the bottom of it very soon."
Katie added that she has been estranged from her father for a number of years, and has had no involvement with Bray boxing club for three years.
"I've had little contact with him in the last three years and no contact or association whatsoever with Bray Boxing Club since 2015."
Katie has asked for privacy for herself and her family at this time.
"I have been appalled by the misuse of my name and image during the reporting of this incident in the media coverage, it has been reckless and irresponsible, and a deliberate attempt to inappropriately leverage my name to sell a story.
"I urge the media to leave me, my Mum and other family members out of this story.

Mexican More Than Potato Salad Recipe
You are invited to a fiesta of flavor and fresh veggies with our south-of-the-border inspired potato salad. Simple to make, this celebration-worthy side dish is loaded with tomatoes, baby spinach, black beans, corn avocado and dressed in Jalapeño Ranch.
- 1.5 lb. mini potatoes (assorted colors)
- 2 cups frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (divided)
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt (divided)
- 8 ounces NatureSweet® Cherubs® Tomatoes, quartered
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- ½ cup chopped red onion
- ½ to 1 jalapeño pepper, minced (amount depends on "hotness" preference"
- 3 cups coarsely chopped Fresh Express® Baby Spinach
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ to 2/3 cup Litehouse® Jalapeño Ranch Dressing
- 1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into chunks
Preheat oven to 400 F degrees
Half or quarter mini potatoes into bite-sized pieces depending on their size.
Add potatoes to bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1 teaspoon garlic salt. Stir to combine. Pour out in single layer on rimmed baking sheet.
Add frozen corn to same bowl, drizzling with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1 teaspoon garlic salt. Stir to combine. Pour out in single layer on separate rimmed baking sheet.
Roast potatoes and corn in the oven for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, stirring up once or twice. The corn may need to come out at 15 to 20 minutes, when it becomes golden brown around the edges.
Remove potatoes and corn from oven and let cool on baking sheets for 5 to 10 minutes.
While cooling, take care of any remaining prep on the other vegetables per ingredient list notes.
Add potatoes, corn, tomatoes, spinach, cilantro, black beans, red onion, and jalapeño to large bowl. Add dressing (more or less depending on preference) and stir well to evenly coat.
Gently stir in avocado chunks to dressed salad. Top with additional jalapeño, if desired.

"We have seen the emergence of disruptive technologies. We have seen the historic changes – the advent of data, the emergence of AI/cognitive, the maturation of cloud, the internet of things, the IT and business platforms, the rise of blockchain, the coming-true power of quantum computing – these are each taking a part in transforming the way our businesses operate, and are fundamentally transforming the way we live," said Patama.
Organisations need to have a hybrid, agile and flexible cloud infrastructure – open, secure and well managed – operating in seamless private, public and multi-cloud environments, to host and run automation, blockchain and AI solutions, he added.
Businesses need open cloud technologies, enabling them to move applications and data across multiple clouds easily and securely.
The rapid innovations in technology have caused companies across industries to rethink how they leverage digital tools such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, augmented and virtual realities and more, into their daily operations.
"We are at a historic inflection point – when data is growing at an exponential rate and changing the way we work and live. Data is being referred to as the world's newest natural resource, the 'new oil'," said Patama.
AI is both "now" and real, with each of us already interacting with this technology. Artificial intelligence is being used for customer queries at call centres and by farmers seeking recommendations for yield increases among numerous other services.
IBM Watson AI, for instance, can provide answers to questions based on a small amount of vertical data. It has now been adopted by more than 16,000 clients in 20 industries in 80 countries around the world.
This is the time to place ethics, trust and transparency at the heart of the discussion about artificial intelligence. Companies and their customers will never be able to realise the full potential of AI unless it is underpinned by trust and confidence.
For its part, IoT is fundamentally about the connectedness of things. Today, everything is invariably connected to everything else. Now, this connectedness allows people to link data and actions across previously disparate and discrete activities.
The use of connected industrial equipment, buildings and facilities and vehicles, industrial IoT (IioT), is creating exponential increases in data (80 per cent of it unstructured) and the opportunity to find completely new and useable insights.
These insights enable people to not only optimise the way everyday things are done, but more importantly to extend that to imagine and implement completely new ways of working.
"IoT gives AI the data needed to understand the physical world as everything becomes connected, while AI is needed to make sense of the vast amounts of data IoT is generating. And to allow people and things to work smarter and better as a result," said Patama.
Meanwhile, Natavudh Pung-charoenpong, chief executive officer of Ookbee, said that AI and machine learning are playing an exponential role in the real world, especially in autonomous vehicles and voice command using natural language processing. We will have more home devices that can better understand the context of human conversation.
These will be the mainstream technologies in the near future, coming with a bigger impact on the business models of many industries (automobile, insurance, transportation and logistics) and on individual lives.
As for blockchain, Natavudh said the technology has high potential in digital currencies. Currently, big players across industries are moving to tap the opportunities.
The beauty of digital currencies is in cost saving and convenience for both service providers (across industries) and users. Digital currency by blockchain will play a more important role in the next digital disruption, he said. Meanwhile, Patama of IBM Thailand added that blockchain will do for trust and transactions what the internet did for communications and data.
"Disruptive technologies have already changed our work and life. In Thailand, businesses have a great appetite for exploring disruptive technologies.
AI, the cloud, blockchain, IT systems and cybersecurity are coming to life here," said Patama.
Vatsun Thirapatarapong, managing director of Cisco Thailand and Indochina, said that AI, blockchain and IoT will continue to disrupt businesses and people's lives in the next few years. There will be more industries affected by these technologies, following the media, retail, technology, and finance sectors affected in the first round.
"Corporates need to focus on customer experience, business process, and tech talent when going through a digital transformation," said Vatson.
People, as individuals, will also face a bionic transformation that will see a lot more blending between the digital and physical worlds. We will experience a lot more offerings, such as omnichannel and online-to-offline services, he predicted.

Jujun Junaedi, left, working on his homemade helicopter
Indonesia's notorious traffic gridlock has been known to send commuters into a spin, but one man has decided to rise above the daily grind — by building his very own helicopter.
Jujun Junaedi spends his free time in a backyard tinkering with his project, guided by instructional videos, as he dreams of flying above the snarled roads of his hometown Sukabumi.
"It's so incredibly frustrating. You run out of petrol and it's a waste of time," the 42-year-old says of congestion in the city, about 110 kilometres (70 miles) south of the capital Jakarta.
"You end up being totally exasperated by the time you get to where you're going."
Buying parts and using scraps from his auto repair shop, Junaedi says he has spent about 30 million rupiah ($2,100) on his creation since he started building it 18 months ago.
Junaedi's young son and neighbour have both been roped into help build the eight-metre (26-foot) long petrol-powered chopper, which has yet to take its maiden flight.
"As long as my helicopter takes off then I'll be satisfied," he said.
His quest may seem a flight of fancy, but Junaedi is not the first person to try and build an artisanal aircraft.
Two years ago, a South African man used corrugated iron sheets and other scrap to construct a replica police helicopter, according to local media reports.
A farmer in China also grabbed headlines in 2016 after he spent three years trying, and failing, to build his own working chopper.
Whether Junaedi's project gets off the ground remains to be seen, but airworthiness may prove less of a challenge than mounting costs.
"When he needs money for the engine or blades, for example, it costs a lot of money," said his wife Yeti.
"If everything is spent on this helicopter we'd have nothing left to buy food."

Hi I have some doubts about the character stats.
I'm on valinor trying to optimize my gear to fight the last 2 bosses, I have a fighter type char with 25 str and 12 con, dex and int are on 6 including equipment bonusses, also 80 armor with 2%blunt and 3%pierce resistance.
I have created the decorative armor wich gives me 17 protection, but one of the goblin shaman runts just dropped a rusty steel chestplate wich gives me only 15 but +1 str, -2 int and 5% cut resistance.
I guess the 5% cut resistance might be very good against bone snarl, but against frump, is the str gain good enough to compensate against the 2 armor points?
Thanks a lot!
Also when using food should I focus on increasing dex or more str and con?

If you are using melee weapons (Besides SB) I would suggest putting all of your orbs into str for maximum damage. However, when I played there I found that it is very easy to kill frump and bonesnarl as a pure archer because you can kite Bone and you can trap yourself with goblin runts to kill frump. But if you want to be able to tank them warrior is definitely the way to go. But remember, the bosses were designed for people to go as a group so I would encourage you to bring some friends along.

Small stat bonuses from equipment don't make a huge difference but Rusty Plate is going to be better overall (5%cut) than the Decorative Armor.
There is free Orb Reset NPC that stands just left of the North-West town gate next to Moog (the roasting orc.) I strongly suggest you utilize this feature before moving to the mainlands.
If you not going to b a magic user, don't bother with assigning any orbs to Int. As with armor, tiny stat raises do not have a huge effect on game mechanics (think 5's and 10's.)
Also, for the most part, gear you can equip at higher levels is largely based on the orbs you have assigned and having one or two orbs stuck in a useless (for any certain build) stat will be a big setback.

Thanks a lot for the answers!!
I'll try to use the kite option on bone snarl and the blocking with frump.
I won't be bringin a group just because I don't see that many people online on my server, from reading the forums I think it's because most people play on the legends (I'm on Heroes)
I was trying to help a few people so we could go, but I'm mostly alone here XD.
Thanks again!!

Actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, right, is pictured with Dr. Bennet Omalu, who inspired the movie and was a paid consultant during filming. Dr. Omalu is played by Will Smith in the movie.
Akinnuoye-Agbaje plays former NFL safety Dave Duerson who died in 2011 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at age 50. Duerson suffered from dementia, a degenerative brain disorder characterized by memory loss, confusion and depression.
Dr. Bennet Omalu is a forensic pathologist who has been dubbed the 'Concussion doctor' by the NFL. Omalu performed autopsies on deceased football players and determined their dementia and other degenerative brain diseases were caused by hard hits on the football field.
"This is an important, extremely timely movie," Akinnuoye-Agbaje told the AJC.com. "It's important that the public is aware of the risks. It's a cautionary tale. Hopefully everyone embraces it message to make a game we all love safer."
Other invited guests included radio legend Frank Ski and the executives of Enugu Men's Club of Atlanta (group shot).

This chapter gives basic introduction of Vapnik-Chervonenkis Theory on Binary Classification. When it comes to binary classification task, we always want to know the functional relationship between $\mathbf{x}$ and $y$, or how to determine the "best" approach to determining from the available observaions such that given a new observation $\mathbf{x}^{new}$, we can predict its class $y^{new}$ as accurately as possible.
Universal Best
Constructing a classification rule that puts all the points in their corresponding classes could be dangerous for classifying new observations not present in the current collection of observations. So to find an classification rule that achieves the absolute very best on the present data is not enough since infinitely many more observations can be generated. Even the universally best classifier will make mistakes.
Of all the functions in $\mathcal{Y}^{\mathcal{X}}$, assume that there is a function $f^*$ that maps any $\mathbf{x}\in\mathcal{X}$ to the corresponding $y\in\mathcal{Y}$ with the minimum number of mistakes. $f^*$ is denoted as universal best
$$\begin{align*} f^* :\quad & \mathcal{X} \rightarrow \mathcal{Y}\\ & \mathbf{x} \rightarrow f^*(\mathbf{x}) \end{align*}$$
$f$ denote any generic function mapping an element $\mathbf{x}$ of $\mathcal{X}$ to its corresponding image $f(\mathbf{x})$ in $\mathcal{Y}$. Each time $\mathbf{x}$ is drawn from $\mathbb{P}(\mathbf{x})$, the disagreement between the image $f(\mathbf{x})$ and the true image y is called the loss, denoted by $l(y, f(\mathbf{x}))$. The expected value of this loss function with respect to the distribution $\mathbb{P}(\mathbf{x})$ is called the risk functional of $f$, denoted as $R(f)$.
$$ R(f) = \mathbb{E}[l(Y, f(\mathbf{X}))] = \int l(y, f(\mathbf{x})) d \mathbb{P}(\mathbf{x}) $$
The best function $f^*$ over the space $\mathcal{Y}^{\mathcal{X}}$ of all measurable functions from $\mathcal{X}$ to $\mathcal{Y}$ is therefore
$$\begin{align*} f^* &=\texttt{arg} \underset{f}{inf} R(f) \\ R(f^*) &= R^* = \underset{f}{inf} R(f) \end{align*}$$
Note: Finding $f^*$ without the knowledge of $\mathbb{P}(\mathbf{x})$ means having to search the infinite dimensional function space $\mathcal{Y}^{\mathcal{X}}$ of all mappings from $\mathcal{X}$ to $\mathcal{Y}$, which is an ill-posed and computationally nasty problem (No way to get the universal best).
Thus, we seek a more reasonable way to solve the problem via choosing from a function space $F\subset \mathcal{Y}^{\mathcal{X}} $ , a function $f^+ \in F$ that best estimates the dependencies between $\mathbf{x}$ and $y$. The goal of statistical function estimation is to devise a technique (strategy) that chooses from the function class $\mathcal{F}$, the one function whose true risk is as close as possible to the lowest risk in class $\mathcal{F}$. So it is crucial to define what is meant to be best estimates. Hence we need to know what is loss function and risk functional.
Loss Functioin and Risk Functional
For classification task, the so-called 0-1 loss function defined below is used.
$$ l(y, f(\mathbf{x})) = \mathbb{1}_{Y\neq f(X)} = \begin{cases} 0, &\text{if } y = f(\mathbf{x}) \\ 1, &\text{if } y \neq f(\mathbf{x}) \end{cases} $$
And the corresponding risk functional, also named cost function showed below confirms the intuition because it is estimated in practice by simply computng the proportion of misclassfied entities.
$$ R(f)= \int l(y, f(\mathbf{x})) d \mathbb{P}(\mathbf{x}) = \mathbb{E}[\mathbb{1}_{Y\neq f(X)}] = \underset{(X,Y)\sim \mathbb{P}}{Pr}[Y\neq f(X)]$$
The minimizer of the 0-1 risk functional over all possible classifiers is the so-called Bayes classifier which we shall denote here by $f^*$. It minimizes the rate of misclassifications.
$$ f^* =\texttt{arg} \underset{f}{inf} R(f) = \texttt{arg} \underset{f}{inf} [\underset{(X,Y)\sim \mathbb{P}}{Pr}[Y\neq f(X)] ]$$
Specifically, the Bayes' classifier $f^*$ is given by the posterior probability of class membership, namely
$$ f^* =\texttt{arg} \underset{y\in \mathcal{Y}}{max} [Pr[Y=y | \mathbf{x}] ]$$
Because it is impossible to find the universal best $f^*$, We need to select a reasonable function space $F\subset \mathcal{Y}^{\mathcal{X}} $, and then choose the best estimator $f^+$ from $\mathcal{F}$. For the binary pattern recognition problem, one may consider finding the best linear separating hyperplane.
For empirical risk minimization,
$$\begin{align*} \hat{R}(f) &= \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n \mathbb{1}_{Y\neq f(X)}\\ \hat{f} &= \underset{f\in \mathcal{F}}{\texttt{argmin}} [ \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n \mathbb{1}_{Y\neq f(X)} ] \end{align*}$$
Bias-Variance Trade-Off
In statistical estimation, the blow important issues needs to be taken into account:
- Bias of the estimator
- Variance of the estimator
- Consistency of the estimator
In point estimation, given $\theta$ as the true value of the parameter, $\hat{\theta}$ is a point estimator of $\theta$, then the total error can be decomposed as: $$\begin{align*} \hat{\theta}-\theta = \underbrace{ \hat{\theta}- \mathbb{E}[ \hat{\theta}]}_\text{Estimation error} + \underbrace{\mathbb{E}[ \hat{\theta}]-\theta}_\text{Bias} \end{align*}$$ Under the squared error loss, one seeks $\hat{\theta}$ that minimizes the mean squared error, rather than trying to find the minimum variance unbiased estimator (MVUE).$$\begin{align*} \hat{\theta}=\underset{\theta\in \Theta}{\texttt{argmin}}\mathbb{E}[ (\hat{\theta}-\theta)^2] = \underset{\theta\in \Theta}{\texttt{argmin}}MSE(\hat{\theta}) \end{align*}$$ Actually, the traditional bias-variance decomposition of the MSE reveals the bias-variance trade-off: $$\begin{align*} MSE(\hat{\theta}) &= \mathbb{E}[ (\hat{\theta}-\theta)^2] \\ &= \mathbb{E}[ (\hat{\theta}- \mathbb{E}[ \hat{\theta}])^2] + \mathbb{E}[(\mathbb{E}[ \hat{\theta}]-\theta)^2 ] \\ &= \text{Variance} + \text{Bias}^2 \end{align*}$$ Again becasue of the previous statement that we cannot get the true value of $\theta$, MVUE will not help, which means the estimation we get contains bias. If the bias is too small, variance would be very large. Vice versa. The best compromise is then to trade-off bias and variance. In functional terms we call it trade-off between approximation error and estimation error.
Statistical Consistency
$\hat{\theta}_n$ is a consistent estimator of $\theta$ if $\forall \epsilon >0$
$$ \underset{n\rightarrow \infty}{lim}Pr[|\hat{\theta}_n-\theta|>\epsilon] = 0 $$
It turns out that for unbiased estimators $\hat{\theta}_n$, consistency is straightforward as direct consequence of a basic probabilistic inequality like Chebyshev's inequality. However, for biased estimators, one has to be more careful.
The ERM (Consistency of the Empirical Risk Minimization) principle is consistent if it provides a sequence of functions for which both the expected risk and the empirical risk converge to the minimal possible value of the risk in the function class under consideration.
$$\begin{align*} R(\hat{f}_n) & \xrightarrow[n \rightarrow \infty]{P} \underset{f\in \mathcal{F}}{inf}R(f) = R(f^+) \\ \underset{n\rightarrow \infty}{lim} Pr&[\underset{f\in\mathcal{F}}{sup}|R(f)-\hat{R}_n(f)|>\epsilon] = 0 \end{align*}$$
As $\hat{R}_n(f) $ reveals the disagreement between classifier $f$ and the truth about the label $y$ of $\mathbf{x}$ based on information contained in the sample $\mathcal{D}$. So for a given (fixed) function (classifier) $f$,
$$ \mathcal{E}[\hat{R}_n(f)] = R(f) $$
Key Question:
Since one cannot calculate the true error, how can one devise a learning strategy for choosing classifiers based on it?
Tentative Answer:
At least devise strategies that yield functions for which the upper bound on the theoretical risk is as tight as possible:
With probability $1 − \delta$ over an i.i.d. draw of some sample according to the distribution $\mathcal{P}$, the expected future error rate of some classifier is bounded by a function $g$ ($\delta$, error rate on sample) of $\delta$ and the error rate on sample. $\Downarrow\Downarrow\Downarrow$
$$\begin{align*} \text{Pr}\Big\{ \texttt{TestError} \leq \texttt{TrainError} + \phi(n,\delta, \kappa (\mathcal{F})) \Big\} \leq 1-\delta \end{align*}$$
Thorem: (Vapnik and Chervonenkis, 1971)
Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a class of functions implementing so learning machines, and let $\xi = VCdim(\mathcal{F})$ be the VC dimension of F. Let the theoretical and the empirical risks be defined as earlier and consider any data distribution in the population of interest. Then $\forall f\in \mathcal{F}$, the prediction error (theoretical risk) is bounded by
$$ R(f) \leq \hat{R}_n(f) + \sqrt{ \frac{\zeta(\text{log}\frac{2n}{\zeta}+1)-\text{log}\frac{\eta}{4} }{n}} $$
with probability of at least $1-\eta$. or
$$\text{Pr} \Big( \texttt{TestError} \leq \texttt{TrainError} + \sqrt{ \frac{\zeta(\text{log}\frac{2n}{\zeta}+1)-\text{log}\frac{\eta}{4} }{n}} \Big) \leq 1-\eta $$
VC Bound
- From the expression of the VC Bound, to improve the predictive performance (reduce prediction error) of a class of machines is to achieve a
trade-off (compromise) between small VC dimension and minimization of the empirical risk.
- One of the greatest appeals of the VC bound is that, though applicable to function classes of infinite dimension, it preserves the same intuitive form as the bound derived for finite dimensional $\mathcal{F}$
- VC bound is acting in a way similar to the number of parameters, since it serves as a measure of the complexity of $\mathcal{F}$.
- One should seek to construct a classifier that achieves the best trade-off between complexity of function class (measured by VC dimension) and fit to the training data (measured by empirical risk).

Adam McNutt walked into a brothel in India and found children running around. They showed him the scars—cigarette burns and bruises—they got from their pimps. Babies as young as two weeks old had been sold as sex slaves to meet the growing demand from men who believe having sex with a virgin will cure them of AIDS.
It isn't legal, but corruption runs so deep in India that many police officers look the other way. Many people look the other way, too. McNutt said Hindus believe in reincarnation, so they look the other way because they assume these children must have done something wrong in a past life.
"They believe they did something so wrong, so grievous, that this is their karma," McNutt explained. That's why he has devoted his life to helping them.
McNutt and his wife, Leslie, spent seven years as missionaries in India before their children's needs brought them back to the United States—their daughter was diagnosed with autism and their son with dyslexia and attention deficit disorder. The McNutts felt the United States offered the best educational assistance for their children, so they left India.
But they couldn't forget all they'd seen in India. The McNutts knew they wanted to help those children trapped in human trafficking, so they started Set Them Free International Ministries to support an orphanage in north India that rescues children from human trafficking.
The Untouchables
There are more than 30 million orphans in India—a number exacerbated by the AIDS epidemic and the lesser value placed on girls. According to McNutt, families will sell young girls instead of spending money to raise them. Poverty is rampant, and desperate families will do almost anything to provide for male children.
"The poverty drives people, especially people who don't know Jesus, to do the most wicked of things for temporary relief," McNutt said.
There are three main ways children end up in trafficking: They are kidnapped, sold by their families or found as orphans on the street. And because these children exist outside the four-tier Hindu caste system, they are called the Untouchables—outcasts—and considered impure.
McNutt tells of one human trafficking victim, Lakshmi, who was sold to a man who visited her village. He came in, wearing a business suit and fancy shoes, to an area where most people weren't educated. He told Lakshmi's family he would take her to the city to get a good education, and they sold her to him and used the money to feed the rest of the family.
In an area where most people make one to two dollars per day, a young girl can be sold for $50, McNutt said. Others are sold at auctions in Mumbai for a few thousand dollars, depending on their physical condition.
When Adam and Leslie McNutt first moved to India, they knew nothing about human trafficking in the country. It wasn't until Leslie went on a trip with a group fighting trafficking that they realized the scope of the industry. Worldwide human trafficking has grown into a $33 billion per year industry.
Charities in India won't pay for the children's release. McNutt explains they don't want to give money to the very organization they're fighting against. Instead, charities befriend the madams in the brothels and work to change them, and in turn, free the children.
What the McNutts have found is the madams are often women who were once kidnapped or sold into sex slavery and have been there their entire lives.
"When you go in there, and you love them and you're Jesus to them, you show them that there is hope, and things can change," McNutt said.
Rays of Hope
McNutt raises money for the Rays of Hope home that focuses on the education and safety of the 76 orphans currently living there. They stress education because many people in India have grown up in poverty without any schooling. They have only known farming or housekeeping and can be easily convinced to let their daughters go off with strangers.
"The [Rays of Hope girls] do go to school, they do get a great education," McNutt said. "Because without it you can fall into these snares. You can fall into poverty; you can be manipulated.
Another Rays of Hope outreach program is a morning breakfast for a few hundred children who are still in the brothels. These relationship-building experiences are a strong factor in getting children released.
While they're no longer in the red-light districts of India, McNutt and his family are working hard to provide for the children. His dream is to raise $5,000 each month—they aren't quite there yet— to send to Rays of Hope. With your help, he can meet that goal.

A trick used by an impostor to get cash from a public service vehicle ended badly after he was lynched by an angry mob for terrorizing them.
The conman, Richard Achoki posed as a traffic police officer along the Nyamira-Kisii route.
Manga Police Station Commander Nelson Cheruiyot confirmed the incident saying
'Richard Achoki Nyaigoti with three other accomplices who managed to escape, had stopped a public service matatu at Nyabioto area along Nyamira-Kisii route at around 5:45am and demanded Sh3, 500 from the conductor when one of the passengers identified them to be impostors.'
Brooke House to Hillcrest: Schools where your favorite celebs studied – List
Achoki was lynched by irate members of the public at Nyabioto area in Nyamira County.
"The commotion in the vehicle alerted members of the public who positively identified Achoki as a member of a criminal gang that has been terrorizing residents in the area and the surrounding," the Police Commander said.
According to the station commander Achoki had earlier missed death by a whisker some time ago when members of the public set him ablaze allegedly for stealing but he was saved by Administration Police officers.

After recovering, no one was ready to testify against him before a court of law and he was set free from the cells but still continued with his criminal acts which have led to his death.
The remains of Achoki were taken to Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital Mortuary and added police are still hunting for the three suspects who managed to escape.

Napoli 1/3 to see past Empoli in the Italian Serie A this afternoon
Competition: Italian Serie A
Market: Napoli to win against Empoli
Odds: 1/3 @ William Hill
Napoli welcome Empoli to the Stadio San Paolo this afternoon, and are big favourites to pick up all three points in the Italian Serie A. The hosts are coming off the back of five consecutive league wins, but will be met with some resistance given the visitors' impressive form on the road.
Eight wins and two draws from their 10 home games still sees leaders Napoli in great shape to pick up all three points and boost their title hopes, but the Sky Blues won't underestimate their opposition. Empoli have won four and drawn two of their last away games so today's clash should be competitive.
The visitors have seen their momentum derailed after having dropped points in three of their last four games, so Napoli could well take advantage and come out on top. Victory for the hosts would see them stay top of the pile for another week, and William Hill are giving odds of 1/3 for the Sky Blues to deliver at the Stadio San Paolo as they always do.
Bet: Napoli to see past Empoli in the Italian Serie A this afternoon @ 1/3 with William Hill >>

Jeri Ryan Remembers That Time She Faced Off Against The Rock On Star Trek: Voyager
Ryan stars as Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Picard—with new episodes streaming on Thursdays—exclusively on CBS All Access.
The Star Trek: Picard actress revealed to The Talk hosts Sheryl Underwood, Carrie Ann Inaba, Sharon Osbourne, Marie Osmond, and guest host Brigitte Nielsen that Episode 5 of Picard, "Stardust City Rag," was shot at the Los Angeles theme park. To preserve the secrecy of her Star Trek: Voyager character's reprisal in the new series, she wore a black hooded cloak that covered her entire body, leaving her able to see just the ground in front of her.

WATCH: Catch Up On The Talk On CBS All Access
"Our base camp was on the backlot, everything was secret, secret, secret," she explained. "At one point, they're driving me to set and we're going really slowly, and I'm like, 'What is going on? Oh, we're behind the tram tour.'"
Ryan also reminisced on her Voyager days as Borg character Seven of Nine, including working with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the Season 6 episode "Tsunkatse."
The Rock guest-starred on the show at the height of his wrestling career—before he was famous in mainstream circles—so Ryan didn't initially know who he was. After they finished filming, she said he left her an autographed photo of him as "The Rock," with the message, "The Rock smells what you're cookin'."
"I was like, 'What?!'" she explained. "What is wrong with this man? That is the weirdest thing I've ever [heard].' And the makeup guys were like, 'No, dude, it's The Rock, that's his thing: He smells what you're cookin'. And I was like, 'Oh.'"
STREAM: New Episodes Of Star Trek: Picard On CBS All Access
Ryan admitted she didn't have as easy a time getting back into the headspace of Seven of Nine for Picard as you might think. Fellow "legacy" Trek actor and friend Jonathan Del Arco—who also appears in Picard as his Trek character, Hugh—ended up helping her find her way.
"Reading the script, I couldn't find her, I couldn't hear her voice, and that was freaking me out so badly," she said. Del Arco came over and they worked on the script together. After two hours, he said, "What if she just makes the choice that she has to be as human as possible to survive?"
"That was like a little bell going off, and I was like, 'There she is!'" Ryan said.
But Star Trek: Picard isn't the only place you can find Ryan on CBS. She will also have a recurring role on Season 4 of MacGyver as Gwendolyn Hayes, Angus MacGyver's aunt. Gwendolyn is an ex-DXS agent who everyone thought was dead, but she's returned as the head of Codex, the organization Phoenix has been pursuing all season.

Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs B from Wales
very much enjoyed
On this trip, I visited South Africa & Zambia between 15-Feb-2015 and 7-Mar-2015 and I travelled with 1 other person.
The Sunvil section of our trip went very smoothly as did our unscheduled previous week at Hout Bay. We had no incidence of attemped theft nor did we at any time feel threatened.The main concern of the S.African tourist industry seems to blame falling visitor numbers on the European perception that Africa = Ebola (5k miles away!!) and that every time you get out of your car you are at risk.
We found the people friendly and helpful. The exchange rate is also ,very attractive.
We feel that this was one of our best holidays ever and we would love to go back.
Thanks Claire for organising it so well.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
In your brochure or when the clients itinerary is made up you may like to consider suggesting things to do /see at the suggested stopovers or on the way. e.g. Bartholomew Dias at Mossel bay, Drodsty Museum at Swallenburg etc.

Financial Inclusion of Women Challenge
Sep 6 - Dec 2 | Islamabad, Pakistanhttp://www.fiwc.karandaaz.com.pk
About this Program
Through the "Fostering Financial Inclusion of Women" Challenge, Karandaaz is inviting proposals for gender-smart, women-centric financial products and services that reflect the needs and preferences of female customers in the financial services marketplace.
The goal of the challenge is to provide financial service providers, fin-techs, research and advisory firms, and other relevant market players an opportunity to pilot and test, or scale interventions that account for the different female market segments, needs and preferences of women, and the bottlenecks to their inclusion. The proposed solutions may be in any area that facilitates women's financial inclusion, including but not limited to issues around credit, savings, payments, mobile wallets, block chain, alternative credit, e-commerce, insurance, remittances and pensions. While preference will be given to applicants who can demonstrate that they have already started developing or testing a women-centric product or service, the challenge is open to applicants at the ideation stage (but must be able to clearly articulate the value proposition of their proposed product or service).
Who is eligible to submit an application?
Financial Service Providers (DFSPs, FIs, MFIS, MFBs), Fin-Techs, Research and Advisory Firms, and other relevant market players from anywhere in Pakistan are eligible to apply. The applicants should be a registered in Pakistan. This program is not open to individuals.

Joe Maddon agrees to exclusive multi-year deal with Winnebago
Cubs manager Joe Maddon and Winnebago agreed to an exclusive multi-year contract. The RV enthusiast got the keys to his Winnebago Grand Tour in February during Cubs spring training.
Maddon loved everything about the RV. "I really like the style outside a lot. It's not the typical brown, earthy tones and squiggly lines. I dig chrome. I don't like it on my middle infielders, but I love it on my vehicles."
The 45-foot Winnebago Grand Tour includes a 450-hpo turbo charged diesel engine, heated floors, stainless steel appliances, a fireplace, a king-sized bed, four television screens and much more.
"What I love about Winnebago is that it is this great, iconic RV brand, but also forward thinking," Maddon said. "Winnebago gets us and our lifestyle - it's our home."
Right now the focus is on getting back to the World Series and winning it again," Maddon said, "and then driving that out of Chicago right around November 1st. That's the game plan as of right now."
Watch Maddon's first tour of the Winnebago Grand Tour with this video here.
