One of the most popular rigs out there is the handheld rig, because it allows you mobility and frees you up to get your shot fast. When it comes to figuring out the best way to configure your digital camera, there tends to be a lot of arms, a lot of cables, and a lot of accessories.

As cinematographers, our storytelling camera tools change on a monthly basis, and trying to keep up with all of this is a daunting task. However, the two core tools of storytelling that never change are light and composition.
In the winter of 2012, I had the amazing opportunity to teach side by side with a gifted storyteller. Patrick Moreau and I were both speaking for Canon, educating about how we were similar (filmmakers and storytellers) and different in our unique approaches.

Wow, what a ride this last 18 months has been! I find myself at the fore front of a technology that I know in my heart will change the way we EVENTUALLY make movies in Hollywood, but what is so exciting is that this is not a Hollywood story.

Josh came down to San Diego on Wednesday to join the me and the Elite Team for a 5am call. He stayed at the Indigo Hotel with us (my treat) the night before because I didn't want him to have to drive all night for such an early shoot.
This exciting spot was directed by Mike McCoy of Bandito Brothers and the majority of it was shot in 3 nights! Even though Mouse (as he is affectionately known) is very talented, he had the help of an amazing team to make him shine.
Remember reading Where's Waldo when you were a kid? We had so much fun playing a similar game to test your vision and your response was overwhelming! Thank-you for taking the time to play and making it so hard to choose a winner!
At Hurlbut Visuals, two of our core values are commitment and collaboration. We are helping to spread the word about director Joshua Sallach's latest movie, an untitled "Dark Fairy Tale" project with Narrow Road Productions.
I remember being creative from the time that I was little. Perhaps it was from growing up in the middle of nowhere on a farm in central New York and the fact that I was an only child. I had to create my own fun.

Ireland's Bennett wins Giro stage 12 with gutsy sprint
(Reuters) - Irishman Sam Bennett made a perfectly timed break to win the 12th stage of the Giro, a 213-kilometre ride from Osimo that ends in a sprint finish on the Imola racing circuit, amid a heavy downpour on Thursday.
The 27-year-old finished ahead of Dutch rider Danny van Poppel (LottoNL-Jumbo) and Italian Niccolo Bonifazio (Bahrain-Merida) to claim his second stage win of the 2018 race.
Englishman Simon Yates kept hold of the overall lead, staying 47 seconds ahead of defending champion Tom Dumoulin.
The rain began with the riders just over an hour from the finish line and the peloton split, with Quick-Step Floors Elia Viviani caught in the trailing bunch.
Viviani, winner of two sprint stages in this year's race, was one of the favorites to finish first in Imola.
"I guess these were favorable weather conditions for an Englishman. And also for an Irishman," a drenched Yates said. "It was a very difficult final. I think a few guys underestimated it, myself included."
At one point late on, the stage seemed destined to end in a battle between Bahrain-Merida's Matej Mohoric and Movistar rider Carlos Betancur.
Both carved out brief leads before being reeled in by the pack, with Bennett in the midst of the Bora-Hansgrohe team at the front of the main group, but neither of them had an answer to the Irishman's power.
"It was a tough final for a bunch sprint," said Bennett, who claimed victory with a gutsy sprint from 400m.
"There were two guys up front. I didn't know how much energy they had left so I went early because I didn't want to let the stage get away from me.
"I didn't know if I would hold the lead. It worked to my advantage ... I just had to do my sprint. I think it's a nicer win than the first one."

- Have fun, play smart, play hard
- Overcome adversity with Christ-likeness
- Relentlessly pursue righteousness
- Develop a love and desire to please God

The Calvary Athletic Department acknowledges that God is the priority in our school, followed by family, academics, and finally, athletics. When this order is followed, it will result in student-athletes who are balanced spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

In addition, a proper perspective on winning and losing consistent with glorifying God is maintained. Calvary athletes will be humble in victory, and courageous in defeat. Winning is defined as reaching the maximum potential by giving great effort as an individual, and as a team. Individually, the DCA athletic department wants the athletes to have the mindset of constant improvement of their game and be mentally tough. As a result, maximum effort is given to training and preparation that leads to as much individual accomplishment as God will allow.

Hi Everybody!
For this project I would like to thank my Grandma Lorraine for giving me the leather and buttons, I would also like to thank my Granddad Alan for the special needle and thread to sew this. This purse is really simple to make. I made this large one for myself, I made a smaller one for my sister, Ava, and I made an even smaller one for Ava's AG doll. I hope everyone likes it and please remember that when I get time, I will post either video tutorials or step by step picture tutorials on how to make everything I post. For some I will just post a link because I got the tutorial off of the internet. Thanks for all of your patience! Blog to you later!

Kuwait company plans to bring Vietnamese domestic workers
Al-Durra Domestic Workers Recruitment Company will soon open the door for citizens and expatriates to hire domestic workers from Vietnam, reports Al-Qabas daily quoting sources.
Sources confirmed the concerned company officials reached an agreement with Vietnam to open new markets in order to reduce the cost for hiring domestic workers, as the cost increased remarkably after the crisis concerning Filipina housemaids.

A second business group has formed in German Village, listing a bevy of professional service providers, from architects to home remodelers, to take care of everyday needs.
A second business group has formed in German Village, listing a bevy of professional service providers, from architects to home remodelers, to take care of everyday needs.
German Village At Your Service - www.germanvillageatyourservice.com - is a free resource of local companies trying to reach out to German Village with one voice, said Regina Acosta Tobin, a local real estate agent who helped found the organization.
"We want it to be on top of people's minds that if they need a service of any type, they would think to go to our directory first to find local providers," Tobin said.
The idea was not to compete, but rather complement, the longstanding German Village Business Community, which costs $200 a year to join for nonretail businesses and $250 for retail and restaurants. The organization, which officially formed in 2005 and was renamed two years later, has roughly 100 members.
Annual dues for At Your Service, by contrast, are $50.
Greg Gamier, chairman of the German Village Business Community, is now a member of both groups.
"To me, it was just another advertising outlet," said Gamier, co-owner of Village Pet Supply.
He said that his store gets a second boost with At Your Service, through which he promotes other facets of his business, such as pet-sitting and dog-walking.
He said he sees it as another way for store owners to maximize their outreach and doesn't see the two business groups as having competing interests.
"As long as no one is trying to step on anybody's feet," he said. "And I don't see that happening. We're all in this together."
The organization, which now has more than two dozen members, is not limited to German Village businesses, but is intended to recruit business from the greater Columbus metro area, Tobin said.
Tobin said members are encouraged but not required to join the German Village Society, which costs $50 a year for individuals, $200 for nonretail businesses and $250 for retail, with additional membership levels available.
"If they're trying to service the community, it would be nice for them to be members of the community, as well," she said.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm still having a lot of pain from my surgery, or that this is the first bad weather day in over a week, but I can't quite put my finger on why. I just don't feel myself today. I've been doing a lot of thinking (this occurs often when … Continue reading
"I'm bionic, hit you like a rocket."
Well, I've officially got a piece of metal and a long tube of plastic in my chest. I can set off airport metal detectors! Yup, I finally had the implantable port placed. The experience itself was great, I was really impressed with the all the hospital staff I had contact with from the woman who checked us in, to the … Continue reading
"It's just another Manic Monday…"
It was another busy start to the week, which started when I left my house at 7:30 this morning to make sure I was the first person in line at the DMV. Much to my chagrin, 7 other people also had the same idea and beat me there! Blasphemy. Armed with my pumpkin spice Dunkin Donuts large coffee and a … Continue reading

It's OK Thursday
I read a lot of different blogs that cover a variety of different subjects. Many of the blogs I read do a link up with Amber and Neely called "It's OK Thursday" It's a great idea and I figure it's a way to get more traffic onto my blog. So it's something I'm going to start doing too… So, without further ado. It's … Continue reading
"…I'm so scared that I'll never get put back together."
It's been over a week since my blog of word vomit, and boy was it therapeutic to get out. I feel bad, because I think some of my friends may have been under the assumption that I didn't feel they have been there for me. And that is so not the case. As I said, I have amazing friends, and … Continue reading

TeenDiariesOnline.com is a site dedicated to everything for the teenage girl. From music, fashion, and advice, it's no wonder that we found this site to be a girl's true sanctuary. Within the site there is an anonymous advice column called Dear Nicole. It's a place where you can reach out for a bit of advice or a little direction. We all know life has its little (or maybe huge) complications. That is why we here at BFF decided to team up with TD to present you with, "Dear Nicole":
Dear Nicole,
I've been crushing on this guy. I don't know if I have to be the first one to approach him or what, but I don't want my friends to think that I'm the one making the first move. I don't know what he really feels about me anyway … HELP!
A. There is nothing wrong with approaching the guy but that's not necessarily my style. I suggest you flirt a bit and see if he bites. Now I don't suggest you throw yourself at him (that's not ladylike and you ARE a lady). I suggest you do subtle things like maybe linger in his presence a bit more, or sit next to him. If he is in the hall or near you at school then smile at him when you walk by. Try to make sure he notices that you do like him or that you are at least a bit interested. If you must approach him, do so when he is alone and see if you guys can strike up a convo. See if he is on twitter or FB and start there. Maybe a twit or convo on those sites can turn into some phone calls and maybe a budding romance. Hope this helps!
– Nicole

Water weight go away!
Went to the gym this morning before work. Got in one hour and 22 minutes of cardio. I'm still not doing much strength. First because I'm bad and just don't do it. But secondly because I've been instructed to not do weights with my upper body. Ohhhh shucks! :-)
Meanwhile, my eating is all planned out for the day and I'm lookin' good on all fronts!

Way to go!! Wish I'd been told not to do upper body workouts. Mine today just about did me in. :) It's my punishment for abandoning those muscles for 4 months, I guess.
Way to go on the water weight. That's a battle that seems to never end. And being a salt lover, myself, I'm always watching my intake closely, but sometimes I just have to have a dash extra. I pay for it, of course, but for that one, brief moment, I'm a happy camper. :)

Glad your scale cooperated today! Drink lots of water and keep up the good work!

We decided to choose each others strengths and weaknesses to make it easer to filter down which individual tasks we should carry out. At the moment the idea is that we both have a say in the over all design and concept, but I am more involved in the layout of the guide and Charlotte will be more hands on with the actual printing production. This will also help us to manage our time effectively, we have decided that everyday that we work together to begin with writing the days action plan. I will be recording this on my PPD blog.
After writing this we discovered that we will work well together and play off each others strengths and weaknesses to benefit our design work. The work load for the brief we have chosen is too big for one person, but together hopefully we will be able to produce an appropriate amount of work and fulfil this brief to its full potential.
We started at the basics and thought about different formats that we could produce this guide in. Charlotte produced a brainstorm and some design sheets to help our idea process. For now it looks like producing a small book is the best approach.
Charlotte also produced a swatch book to consider different stocks to use for our design.

How To Plan The Ultimate English Wedding
So you've said yes. Now you have the small issue of saying "I do". From chic city weddings (who could forget Sofia Coppola as a bride, wearing short lilac Alaïa and leaning on a balcony wrapped in bougainvillea?), to big grand extravaganzas, like that of model Jacquetta Wheeler who danced beneath fireworks on a black-and-white checker board dance floor that crowned the emerald lawns of her father's stately home, to romantic romps with hay bales and garlands of flowers, as were seen at stylist Charlotte Stockdale's nuptials, there are many ways to get hitched. From the florists to the venues, Vogue is here to give you the insider track on the ideas - and contacts - to help you plan your perfect wedding.

THE Ministry of Defence is under pressure to "come clean" over its agreement with contractor BAe after ministers refused to publish key documents which would outline whether shipbuilding work is still guaranteed for the Clyde.
The concerns have been raised after the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir George Zambellas, warned that Britain's next generation of frigates could be built in France.
Such a move would renege on a pledge made by UK ministers ahead of the Scottish independence referendum that the new Type 26 frigates would be built on the Clyde in the event of a No vote, but not if Scots voted Yes, as Britain does not build warships abroad.
• Subscribe to our daily newsletter (requires registration) and get the latest news, sport and business headlines delivered to your inbox every morning
• You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Google +
But with BAe and the MoD in the middle of a row over the cost of the Type 26 frigates, Zambellas suggested the contract could go abroad.
He said: "The acquisition process looks for a solution to give us what we need. The affordability question… depends on the best that industry can deliver."
He added: "You'll notice I haven't necessarily said that that's the British industry, as the decision has not been made on what the solution to the requirement will be."
While ministers tried to play down his comments, they have refused to publish the commercial principles agreement (CoPA) between BAe and the MoD. CoPA's predecessor, the Terms of Business Agreement (ToBA), was published and contained guarantees for work at BAe's shipyards, now down to two on the Clyde – Govan and Scotstoun.
But the SNP has pointed out after CoPA was signed on 6 November the MoD has refused to say whether the guarantee is still in place.
Procurement minister Philip Dunne said its publication would prejudice the MoD's commercial interests. But SNP Westminster leader and defence spokesman Angus Robertson described the refusal to publish as "unacceptable". He insisted the MoD "needs to come clean and be absolutely clear" about its plans for naval shipbuilding in Scotland.
However, a spokesman for Defence Secretary Michael Fallon accused the SNP of "desperate scaremongering".
He said: "As the Defence Secretary has made very clear, complex UK warships are only built in UK shipyards.
"While this contract has not yet been awarded, we have also been clear that from 2015 the Clyde will be the UK's only shipyard that builds complex warships.
"We can't be much clearer than that."

This document has two intended audiences:
For the first group, I try to provide a sufficient amount of background information to understand the recommendations that follow. For the second, I offer my own evaluations and suggestions.
As I concentrate on practical issues, I neglect systems and other hardware worthy of primarily technical or historical interest. For specifications, historical perspectives, and other matters, see the resources at SunHELP.
Likewise, I ignore new products currently available from vendors; information on them is easily found on news groups and web sites.
Furthermore, I provide no specific pricing information; prices vary geographically and fluctuate too rapidly for me to track them here.
Finally, I express my thanks to Bill Bradford and SunHELP for kindly hosting this document.

Six Explorer Scouts from 17th Reigate (St. Joseph's) Scout Group in Redhill, Surrey have recently completed an arduous hike raising over £4,000 towards building a new Scout Hall. Matt Brown and Albert Phillipson (both 17 years old), together with Sam Holmes, Adam L'Estrange, Miles Baker, and Chris Marks (all 16 years old) walked 180Km in six days from Brownsea Island in Hampshire (the birthplace of Scouting) back to the site of the new Hall at St. Joseph's Church Redhill. Carrying their rucksacks and sleeping in tents and other Scout Halls, the team had to endure blazing sunshine, heavy thunderstorms, painful blisters, aching shoulders, and the occasional snake (ok it was a slow-worm!). This is the longest hike completed in the Group's history and was conceived and planned by the Explorers after the proposal for the new hall was announced in January this year. Albert said "we've all been in 17th Reigate for a long time and saw this as a way of giving something back to the Group before we leave. There were times on the hike when morale was low, especially when the blisters were bad and we knew we still had a long way to walk. But we supported each other and made it through to our destination each day". Tony Brown, Explorer Scout Leader said that the Group is immensely proud of them: "this was a very tough challenge they set for themselves and there were times when they had to dig deep, but they all made it and the sense of achievement will stay with them for a long time".
Reigate (St. Joseph's) Scout Group has around 120 young people between 6 and 18 years old, and is temporarily without a permanent home following the re-development of the old Parish hall. The Group is fund-raising towards a target of £150,000 to build a purpose-built Scout hall which will be its first permanent home in the Group's 97-year history. Further information is available on the Group's website at www.17threigate.org and anyone wishing to contribute can do so via https://mydonate.bt.com/charities/17threigatescoutgroup.

Toyota Pestel Analysis
Toyota had a lot of help from japan government, including tax breaks. on the flip side, Toyota is expected to 'sell' Indiana and its assets to the world. U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar commented on Toyota producing Camrys in Indiana:
I applaud Governor Daniels and the Indiana legislature and all who are working together. First of all, to provide support for the governor and public officials to go to Japan and to other countries to tell about Indiana.
The opening of this unit will bring substantial economic benefits, including a possible wage raise. In recent articles it has been stated: If Toyota decides to build up to 100,000 Camrys or Highlanders each year at the plant, it will mean 1,000 jobs, according to Gary Henriott, chairman of the Lafayette-West Lafayette Economic Development Corp. "It would be an incredible boost to our local economy," Henriott said of jobs that would pay more than $20 an hour. "It would improve every facet of our economy."
"Paradoxically, Lafayette had very little automotive employment at that time. So adding SIA to our employment mix was actually a diversification of our local employment base. Over 200 Japanese companies are now located in Indiana, many of whom are suppliers to Subaru and Toyota, so the positive economic impact of foreign investment all across Indiana is easy to document." A report compiled by the Northwest-Midwest Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based research organization, shows manufacturing represented 27.9 percent of Indiana's gross state product, which totaled $227.5 billion in 2004. "The SIA-Toyota decision is a vote of confidence in the Lafayette area economy," McNamara said. "SIA-Toyota is investing in the Lafayette economy because it is a good business decision for SIA-Toyota. Indiana, the state with the largest share of gross state product for manufacturing, is a competitive location for manufacturing investment.

Angelina Jolie looks stunning as ever on the cover this week's issue of Entertainment Weekly.
Check out some quotes from Jolie's interview with EW:
On working with Brad Pitt again: "I love working with him. He's my favorite actor to work with, and the only complicated thing is to find the right project."
On challenging herself for her kids: "I had just had two babies, and the push to be physically strong was very welcome at the time. The funny thing about having children is that now I am twice as motivated to do a cool stunt because my kids will like it."
On changing the gender of the lead character in the film: "Hopefully we've succeeded in making her more emotionally complex and physically meaner."We expect different things from men and from women, both emotionally and physically. For example, a man can have a character arc in which he discovers his heart at the end – that would never be a surprise for a woman."

In February 1961, Dr Ernest McCulloch and Dr James Till made a discovery that would revolutionize medicine: they proved the existence of stem cells, which opened a world of possibility for breakthroughs in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The discovery of stem cells led to the development of life-saving bone marrow transplants.
With funding provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, the 2 researchers proved that all blood cells come from stem cells within the bone marrow. Bone marrow transplants are now used as a life-saving treatment for many cancers. And their research became the foundation for promising cancer stem cell research that continues to this day.
The Canadian Cancer Society funds more research into more types of cancer than any other national charity in Canada. Learn more about the exciting research we are currently funding.

Friday 21st November
Morning sessions with keynote speakers and workshops.
Learning new in empowerment workshops
Students listening to Mathias Haas from Supersocial. (Photo by: Ida Tokola)
Ida To: Many of us took part in Social Media Marketing workshop in the afternoon. It was held by Mathias Haas from Supersocial, who has worked as marketing consultant for many large companies like Red Bull. Our afternoon session flew by very quickly and we were amazed by his knowledge of every social media channel.
Haas for example told us how the Facebook algorithms work, which was very eye-opening since Facebook doesn't really give out this information on their web page. We learned that if you want everyone to see your Facebook posts, the best thing to do is to post statuses with different formats (photo/link/text) and try to awake responsive conversations in the comments.
Felipe: Just complementing what Ida said about Haas workshop. Other key point for sharing posts on Facebook is the timing. He said that only 8% of your "followers" will receive your posts, so one way to be sure that your posts will succeed is to schedule one-two hours before the time that you wanna share your post, because it takes that long to Facebook actually publish it in their timelines.
Confusion in the Student Exhibitions
Ida To: Before traveling to Graz, all of us were grouped with other European students to evaluate the EYA projects. We worked on these projects many weeks via Yammer, which was an online tool pretty similar to Facebook and Google Docs. Most of us had some problems with this task since EYA didn't provide us with very clear instructions. We tried to manage and most of us ended up giving some feedback for our projects and designed posters for the Student Exhibition, which was going to take place during the awards.
So, in the afternoon of Friday 21st, we headed to Graz University of Technology to present our posters and student projects. There we were told to present our feedback and posters to an audience, who were to decide which student project had the best ideas. Some of us were happy to meet other fellow team members from all around Europe, when others noticed they were the only ones to present their team. Despite these confusing matters we were trying to have fun in the exhibition. We met a lot of people from Austria and other European countries, which was very nice.
Ida Tu: In addition to the international teams we had all worked in, there were surprise teams built from Austrian students of the Graz University of Technology so every project was supposed to have two posters - one made in Graz by local students, and one made by international teams and carried from elsewhere to the festival. This was the place where I met the team behind the project I evaluated (with Sami and other international students) which was GovFaces - with Sami we both felt they had a good if somewhat idealistic grasp of their project and we gave a lot of feedback as we discussed their project in a generally really great mood. Why I wanted to bring this up is explained a bit further down!

The Evening Gala
Tarina: The evening gala was the thing we had all been waiting for. It was the ceremony for presenting and rewarding the overall winner of the European Youth Award, along with the other winning projects. The award ceremony took a while but it was worth the wait, after that it was time for, again, networking, buffet food of local goods, alcoholic beverages and dancing!
The party was held inside the mountain, in a space called Dom im Berg. The evening was hosted by Adam Montandon (the first ever EYA winner) and I have to say, he did very well of course, he's been hosting the EYA parties for quite a while now.
Felipe: Don't forget to say that WE start the dancing!
Ida Tu: The winner of the European Youth Award 2014 festival was the project GovFaces I mentioned earlier, and while it naturally wasn't perfect or complete I had to be proud of the guys working on it! They were real sweethearts and deserved to win, and I think both me and Sami managed to congratulate them in person when the award ceremony was over. They thanked us, the feedback team, also on stage which I have to admit was really heartwarming, because we all saw quite a lot work on evaluating these projects beforehand and giving thoughtful and constructive feedback.

But I have come to a realisation that Life is Short.
You may be here today, and yet, away, tomorrow.
I don't know what this life would bring for me.
But I am learning to appreciate the things and the people around me as long as I am breathing.
It makes me smile to know that some would still see me in heaven, and some might not.
But whatever it brings, I will still find joy in this life.
The joy that none can fathom.
The love none can taste.
with my Lord.
I smile to know that God has been my comfort all these while when I am in need, in pain and in trouble.
He has never fail me.
To know that the Lord has His best installed for me and my family gives hope.
A hope that only you – need to experience it yourselves.
Disasters happens, Deaths occurs – at the start of 2010.
May not seem a bright year for some.
But I know it's not bleak future.
I know He is in control in all these circumstances,
And I pray that through all these, more would come to know the Lord.
It is saddening to people wounded, people die, this and that.
But I know all these is happening for His glory.
2010 is a year of hope.
that through all that is happening, there is still hope for the lost.
And for those who seek Him and Him alone will find this hope.
An everlasting Hope.
On the other hand, if there is still people reading my dying blog, do drop a message.
Cause I still do come here and check things out.
Life has not been treating me really well, but I am overcoming it.
cuz' I want to be an overcomer!
i miss quite a number of people in my life now.
good post.
enjoy life to the fullest =)

The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has called for more accountability for human traffickers in Libya, after the UN Security Council on Thursday added six individuals accused of leading smuggling and trafficking networks in the country, to its Sanctions List.
Those now subject to asset freezes, and a travel ban, under Council sanctions resolutions and measures relating to Libya, include the head of a regional coast guard unit in Libya, according to reports, as well as two Eritrean nationals.
The unprecedented sanctions against the leaders of trafficking networks, follow widespread international outrage at the end of last year, when the CNN television network broadcast pictures of migrants being auctioned off in a modern-day slave market, in the suburbs of the Libyan capital.
In a tweet on Friday, Mr. Guterres said that "we were all horrified by pictures of human beings for sale in Libya last year. I welcome the Security Council's decision to sanction six traffickers and smugglers."
"There must be accountability for exploitation and human rights abuses," he added.
Libya has become a major conduit for human trafficking, especially from sub-Saharan Africa, since the overthrow of former leader, Muammar Gadaffi, in 2011, which saw the country descend into factional conflict, widespread instability and a humanitarian and economic crisis.
Figures from the African Union suggest that between 400,000 and 700,000 migrants were being held in often inhumane conditions, and subject to human rights abuses, in more than 40 detention camps across the country, as of last December.
Six smugglers and human traffickers
The six men now subject to Security Council sanctions, are:
Mus'ab Abu-Quarin, described by the sanctions committee on Libya as "a central actor in human trafficking and migrant smuggling activities", whose network covers "Libya, European destinations, (and) sub-Saharan countries for the recruitment of migrants and Arab countries for the financial sector."
Mohammed Kachlaf, described as being head of a militia in the north-western coastal city of Zawiya, that controls an oil refinery there which is a "central hub of migrant smuggling operations."
Abd Al Rahman Al-Milad, described as head of the regional coastguard unit in Zawiya "that is consistently linked with violence against migrants and other human smugglers."
Ermias Ghermay, described as "one of the most important sub-Saharan actors in trafficking", who is "leader of a transnational network responsible for trafficking and smuggling tens of thousands of migrants."
Fitiwi Abdelrazak, who also leads a network responsible for trafficking and smuggling tens of thousands, according to the committee, identified sources in criminal investigations as "one of the top-level actors responsible for the exploitation and abuse of a large number of migrants in Libya." He is also said to have accumulated "immense wealth" through people trafficking.
Ahmad Oumar Al-Dabbashi, described as commander of the Anas al-Dabbashi militia, currently active around Zawiya, who is a "significant leader in illicit activities related to the trafficking of migrants. The al-Dabbashi clan and militia also cultivate relationships with terrorist and violent extremist groups."
Wide view of the Security Council meeting on the situation in Libya. 06 June 2018.
How do Security Council sanctions work?
Sanctions are meant to be a last resort when it comes to addressing massive human rights violations, curbing illegal smuggling or curbing extremism groups. Increasingly, sanctions are also being used to support peace efforts, to ensure that elections are held, or to demobilize armed groups.
This ability stems from the UN Charter. Under Article 41 of Chapter VII, the Council can use enforcement measures not including weapons, such as "complete or partial interruption of economic relations and of rail, sea, air, postal, telegraphic, radio, and other means of communication, and the severance of diplomatic relations."
Sanctions Committees are subsidiary organs of the Security Council and are composed of all 15 of the Council's members. Their role is to implement, monitor and provide recommendations to the Council on particular sanctions regimes. They meet regularly to consider reports from expert panels and to hold meetings with Member States, UN actors and international organizations.

2017 Withrow Teaching Excellence Award
March 17, 2017
Eleven receive top honors during 27th Annual Engineering Awards Luncheon
It was a celebration of teaching, scholarship, and service when members of the Michigan State University College of Engineering convened in the University Club on Thursday, March 16, at the 27th Annual Engineering Awards Luncheon.
Leo Kempel, dean of the College of Engineering, greeted award winners and about 100 guests from the college during the annual spring ceremony.
The Withrow Endowed Teacher/Scholar/Service Award Program was established by the Withrow family to recognize faculty of the MSU College of Engineering who have demonstrated excellence in instructional and scholarly activities and rendered distinguished service to the university and the student body. Jack Withrow earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from MSU in 1954 and an MBA in 1971. He retired as executive vice president at Chrysler Corp. in 1988, and then served as president and chief operating officer at Lectron Products Inc., from 1989 to 1995. He received the MSU Distinguished Alumni Award in 1984. Dottie Withrow earned a bachelor's degree in speech therapy and elementary education from MSU in 1955 and a master's degree in teaching from Oakland University. She was a special education teacher in West Bloomfield Schools for many years and published a children's book that promotes responsible pet care and a second book that teaches children about opera.
Bradley Marks, a professor in the Departments of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, and Food Science and Human Nutrition, is recognized for his dedication and effort both in and outside of the classroom. Students note his ability to make difficult problems easy and fun to solve, and appreciate class time that is interactive and engaging, using interesting "real life" examples and limited lecturing. Marks conducts annual ABET accreditation efforts and successfully leads the highly demanding re-accreditation process on the six-year cycle. He is a major contributor to the growth of MSU's biosystems engineering program through his leadership in recruiting, curriculum development, program coordination, and employer interactions. His efforts are often praised for helping students build and launch their professional careers. Alumni are unanimous in recognizing his significant contribution to preparing them for their careers. Possibly one student best summarizes the feelings in stating, "Most engaging professor I have ever had. I attribute this to his raw passion and enthusiasm for not only the subject matter, but teaching itself."

Hello everyone and welcome to my 11th analysis, this time featuring Demise.
Even after being hit by the unfortunate yet well-deseved nerf right after her release, Demise is still one of the most deadly Light monsters to this day. Any monster with Strength runes and a decent AOE move turns into a killing machine after Demise uses Strength From Beyond on them, allowing them to move straight after Demise-regardless of Speed! On top of this, 3465 is a very good Speed tier among all deny and support monsters, and while it is a bit irrelevant, immunity to Insta-Kill gives her some synergy with Queen Luthien.
-Strength From Beyond
-Shining Tackle/The Light Within
-Draining Light
-When Light Corrupts
Runes: 3 Speed
SFB is Demise's main powerful move, and it has many synergies other than one-hitting everyhting. Shining Tackle is a 0 CD Blind move that also does some damage, but The Light Within can prove useful as well. Draining Light heals the team and When The Light corrupts ruins setup attempts by the likes of Megosteum. 3 Speed is necessary to quickly use SFB.
Teammates: Monsters who have the combination of AOE make an enemy weak to x type+ high damage x type AOE move are good allies, such as Kiridar and Tephra. SFB can be used on VoltaiK after he recharges to finish off the enemy that has been weakened. A more direct approach is to use monsters like Lord Moltus, who deal enough damage to wipe out the enemy in one turn. Keep in mind that her matchup with tanky monsters is good thanks to When Light Corrupts.
Countering Demise: Use a faster monster and deny her before she uses SFB, then kill her before she gets the chance to use it again. Doing that will render Demise mostly harmless, as she doesn't possess any hard deny effects and she almost can't deal damage.
