Verdazo Analytics Data Scientist Anton Biryukov took home third prize in a machine learning competition in March of this year. "Turn up the Zinc" was a crowdsourcing challenge to augment Glencore's efforts to predict zinc recovery at their McArthur River mine in Australia. The participants used the Unearthed platform and consisted of 229 global innovators from 17 countries forming 61 teams and submitting 1286 model variations over one month.
"The Unearthed platform provides a great opportunity to polish my data science skills, while solving applied problems in the oil and gas and mining industries," said Anton, who worked on the problem during his spare time.

To run containers securely, you should consider how the rest of your environment, including the host and the operating system, are configured and hardened. An out-of-the box install of just about any Linux distribution can run the Docker daemon and Docker containers, but it might leave your host exposed any number of security and performance concerns. This post presents a starting point for configuring a production-grade host.
Strip the operating system of any extra services and software so that only the tools and services required to run Docker are up and running.
Install and configure the Docker daemon to run your containers. This includes both performance and security settings that configure Docker to be more suitable for a production environment rather than a development environment.
Configure the firewall to only allow incoming traffic for SSH by default and open ports on-demand that are required by the containers for external communication.
Removing all development tools (compilers, etc.).
Removing all services listening so that only port 22 is exposed for SSH access. Your firewall configuration (see below) should block traffic intended for any other running services, but it is best practice to stop and remove any unnecessary additional services.
You don't want to run everything on your host using the root user, so add a new user and administer your machine as that user.
You don't want people to be able to login to your system using the root user. You also don't want people to login using a password either. In your SSH daemon configuration file, sshd_config, disable root login and password-based authentication. This protects you from brute force attacks against your users' passwords. For each user with access to the machine, generate a public/private key pair, and add the public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in their home directory.
Ideally, you only want sshd listening on your host (your running containers might also be listening on various ports). Since host is dedicated to running containers, it should not be running any additional services, although exceptions exists. To further enhance security through obfuscation, you could also change the port on which sshd listens.
The CIS Docker Benchmark provides a number of guidelines that show best practices for configuring and securing the Docker daemon. This section highlights some of the more important options.
By default, all containers on a host that are connected to the default network bridge can communicate with each other. A compromised container, therefore, could listen to packets from other containers, leading to unwanted disclosure of information. The –icc=false option explicitly disables inter-container communication and forces you to properly segment apps using dedicated networks.
By default, the Docker daemon listens to connections on a local UNIX docket only. However, if you expose the Docker daemon to the network, configure TLS authentication for the daemon API. Otherwise, anyone with access to that port will have full access to Docker daemon and, in turn, to the host system.
This option disables all operations on v1 registries. The latest v2 registries have many security improvements over the legacy v1 registries.
Set default ulimits for your containers. This option lets you set up hard and soft limits on the number of processes and files. This helps ensure that a container cannot consume all of the host's resources in a denial-of-service attack, which would render the machine and other containers inaccessible. The following example shows sensible defaults.
Iptables is a popular firewall available on all Linux distros. At a high level, your firewall configuration should drop all input and forwarding traffic, and whitelist all ssh traffic.
1. Configure the iptables rules. In the final rule replace with your server's IP address without the angle brackets.

UN welcomes prisoner swap between Libyan parties
TRIPOLI- The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) on Saturday welcomed the exchange of prisoners between rival parties.
"UNSMIL welcomes the remarkable success registered today by the exchange of prisoners from both sides under the supervision of the Joint Military Commission (5+5), and thanks to the good offices of the tribal sheikhs and elders," the UN body tweeted earlier Saturday.
"The Mission takes this opportunity to urge both parties to accelerate the full implementation of the comprehensive ceasefire agreement, signed on October 23, 2020 in Geneva, including the exchange of all prisoners," it said.
The eastern-based army and the UN-backed government had been engaged in a deadly armed conflict for more than a year in and around the capital Tripoli, which ended in early June when the UN-backed government announced its takeover of all western Libya after withdrawal of the eastern-based army.
On Oct. 23, the Libyan delegations to the 5+5 Joint Military Commission talks in Geneva signed a UN-sponsored permanent ceasefire agreement.
Earlier in November, the Joint Military Commission agreed on terms for the ceasefire implementation in the country, including the return of forces back to their camps and the withdrawal of foreign forces from conflict lines.
The delegations also agreed to exchange all prisoners, remove landmines in cooperation with the UN teams and the General Intelligence Service, and combat hate speech. (Xinhua)

Gardening for a stronger and healthier community
What are hugelkultur beds
Supporting food deserts
Challenges of community gardens
What are Cul De Sac Co-ops
Our guest for this episode is Andrea of Ramsgate Ranch. After traveling to remote cultures across the world, Andrea learned about many different cultivation practices. When back in the US, Andrea learned of the food deserts that plague communities close to home. From there, Andrea was driven to make a change and became an avid urban farmer- growing simply to donate food to those that desperately needed it. Now, Andrea is a strong supporter of philanthropic gardening and cul de sac co-oops to eliminate food deserts and bring fresh produce to all.

Announcer: Welcome to the Backyard Bounty podcast from heritageacresmarket.com, where we talk about all things, backyard poultry, beekeeping, gardening, sustainable living and more. Now, here's your host, Nicole.
Nicole: Good morning, everybody. Thank you for joining us for another episode of backyard bounty. I'm Nicole and today we're joined by Andrea with Ramsgate Ranch and she's here to tell us about some of her community gardening projects and what she has going on in the neighborhoods around our area. So Andrea, thank you so much for joining us.
Andrea: Thanks for having me. I'm excited to be here.
Nicole: I'm excited to have you. Your approach on gardening is a little bit different and I really love what you are doing. So can you tell us more about what you have going on?
Andrea: I came about a love of gardening while I was traveling. So I, as a teenager, spent a lot of time going on foreign missions trips with my church and with missions groups. So I spent a lot of summers in foreign countries and learning just about subsistence farming and living in tribes in South America and in the South Pacific as well. Learning how they live day to day. There's no grocery store, there's no electricity, there's no plumbing or running water. That's how I first really got introduced to gardening. When I was growing up, everything came out of a box. We went to the city market and cakes came out of a box and I didn't know where the products in the box even came from. I knew about produce on the grocery store shelves, but it all looked perfect and shiny and waxy and bright.
Andrea: So I'm getting to see roots come out of the ground, dig your own potatoes kind of lifestyles was my first introduction to gardening and it turned me into an addict. I immediately came home and wanted to grow my own things. I immediately started to see value in that. So since then I have had a garden in every big space and small space I've ever lived in, so that's how I got started in the backyard gardening community.
Nicole: Awesome. Seems like you've had a lot of exposure and probably were able to take away some lessons from everyone that you met or the different cultures that you've met to expand your ability to garden here because it's not really easy to grow here, that's for sure.
Andrea: It's very different. All the different environments I was in, everywhere from beautiful, rich, lush jungles where the soil is black to more arid places in India where your soil is bright red to places in very rural Mexico that are very similar to the climate that we have here in Pueblo and you see just different ... people use different ways to get their produce to grow and all of it looks different than what I know of as average American farming. When you fly over the United States, there's farms everywhere, things are in perfect rows, things are very aligned and organized. The foreign countries in the way that they garden and develop produce in their own climate has come from years of learning just from your ancestors, how to grow, what to grow, what to grow together, what not to grow together. It definitely changed my perspective on it.
Nicole: What would you say was the most interesting thing that you were able to take away from that experience?
Andrea: I think that gardening and people are intrinsically linked. That what you eat and what you put in your body and how you get what you eat and put in your body affects who you are as a person and how your culture grows, how your culture is shaped and is formed and how it's connected. Because in a tribal village, you go to the garden in the morning together with all the women. You dig the potatoes together, you dig whatever else you're going to eat for that day and you bring it back and then you cook together and then you enjoy the food together. It develops a sense of community that I've also seen translated to what happens with backyard gardens or especially with urban farming and urban gardening where you go plant a garden in an empty lot and the people of the community and that working that garden together, you see it grow community. You see it really change and transform people and the people around you and you build relationships in a way that you might not if you only ever met at the grocery store to prepare dinner.
Nicole: Absolutely. Really one of those things that takes a village and enable to have a thriving garden that supports everybody. It takes a lot of work and I can't think of a better way to bring so many people together.
Andrea: Yeah, absolutely. I actually go to a university in Oakland, California, down in the Fruitvale District, which is definitely more urban center in Oakland. Definitely a rougher community, high crime and violence rate, and also a high rate of immigrants. So we had over 37 different language groups within a two block radius. It's a place where I went to school, so we would see Catholic charities move in a whole group of refugees who spoke one language and who came from somewhere in Cambodia back in the 80s who were still living together in the same apartment building 20 years later and who had started ... who'd asked for a plot of land somewhere in the community, in a park or in an empty lot to garden in the way that they used to to grow their food because that's how they were familiar with growing their food.
Andrea: They'd go to the grocery store and couldn't get the things that they were familiar with cooking. So they'd start growing the kind of vegetables that they would use in their own cooking in a community park. So we would work with them there and it would be incredible to see the way it would help them adapt to culture and to help them not even assimilate to being here because they didn't have to assimilate. They were able to practice their own cultivation and skills and the people in the community around them got to know them as a result. It was really cool.
Nicole: I guess I'm a little bit jealous. I think that you've experienced so many neat things outside of the U.S. but then also seeing it come together in the U.S. That's really great. I love how people can work together, especially since there's so much friction between people nowadays. It's great,
Andrea: Yes, such a wonderful way to overcome differences and to find commonalities in the food you eat and in sharing cultural and ethnic food, in sharing different ingredients. We had Chinese roommates in my household when we were going to school and they had come just as exchange students to go to university there and we'd go into Chinatown and they would take me to a vegetable section where I didn't recognize anything and I just wanted ... To this day, I still wish I could find some of the things that we would eat back then because they only had Chinese names for it. There was no translation. There was no, "What is this green vegetable?" It would be a vegetable. It had had the texture of spinach after they were done cooking it, but it didn't have the flavor of spinach. It had the flavor of something else and these incredible varieties of greens that I was completely unfamiliar with growing up in rural Colorado. It's definitely a way to cross cultural barriers and get to know people in a very nonthreatening way, for sure.
Nicole: Sure. So how do you take some of those things that you've picked up along the way and use that in your garden and in our area here?
Andrea: When I came back home and I've always loved to garden. I move with me a garden tower, that's my own personal mobile garden I've had for a long time. But I wanted to do more. I wanted to get into the soil. Our soil here is very arid. There are lots of challenges. We get rain, but it's not consistent for growing. So we don't have a lot of ways to capture water unless we start building them. So my partner and I, we started building hugelkultur beds, which is something that we learned from a friend who worked in very arid areas in Africa and said that hugelkultur was a really great way to farm arid spaces that have torrential rains.
Andrea: So we dig anywhere from three to four feet down into the ground, and then we fill those large beds with ... Well, when I say large, they're probably about five feet, five feet by three feet. We fill them with different tree branches. So if we have a wind storm and trees get knocked down, we salvage those branches. We don't let anybody take them. We run around the neighborhood picking up other people's branches and we'll throw those in the holes along with our compost from the year, along with any other great soil additives that we can can fit in there. Then you cover that with dirt and you start layering until you build a mound, until you have a raised a garden bed, but it's a mounded garden bed.
Andrea: These we found to be so great because we get these torrential rains in the summer and essentially the pit below our plants fills up with water and then the plants and their roots reach down and tap into that underground water source that we've created for them in order to be able to grow and to get nutrients and to have ... Our ground can be crusty and dry for two weeks up on top, but we've still got active wet soil and water to feed and to give nutrients to our plants down below in those beds.
Andrea: So that's just one of the methods that we learned far away that we've brought home that's been really, really effective for US.
Nicole: That sounds perfect for the area here because for those that don't live in this area, it can get extremely hot. 100 to 110 is feasible in the summer and then it's dry and it's sunny and it's very challenging.
Andrea: Very harsh.
Nicole: It can be very desert like at times, and so growing stuff, if you're able to get things to grow, it takes a ton of water. So with those beds, do you also give them a daily watering or how do you water to those?
Andrea: We will plan to water about three times a week. We do it for about 15 minutes through drip hoses in the morning, and that is mostly to supply water to the immediate surface on the top. So the top soil down to about two feet, which is still above ground for us. So our mounds are probably anywhere from two to three feet above surface level, the ground surface level, and the pits are anywhere from three to five feet deep below ground level. So we use those drip hoses primarily during the spring when we've got smaller plants whose root systems aren't developed yet, and then any excess water goes and continues to fill those cisterns that are down below that are also actively composting the logs. If you dig down underneath one of our beds, we've got loads of earthworms, great red wigglers, lots of critters, lots of active composting is happening down underneath.
Andrea: Generating a little bit of heat so that we can grow a lot earlier because we've got pretty harsh winters here and so that heat warms up the soil. So we can start things earlier if we've got a little plastic covers on top and then it also composts throughout the summer and maintains the water level inside there pretty consistently. If we go a whole month without rain we definitely would need to soak. We'd probably fully soak those beds and try to fill those cisterns ourselves at least once every two weeks. But in general if we dig down just outside of our bed, about six to 12 inches, we'll see that the soil is wet underneath the surface, so that's our test.
Nicole: Are you able to grow all of the regular vegetables that you would grow in a raised bed or similar or is there anything that you're not able to grow in these?
Andrea: Yeah, so the hugelkultur beds take time. They're definitely an investment for any kind of property that you own and are going to be around for a while. We've had it for about four years and so in the beginning you can't really do root vegetables well because the layer of soil that you've got over the cistern is really pretty thin. It's too thin to do roots well and so we try to crop rotate as much as possible. We start each of the beds mostly as a salad bar, so we do lots of green leafy vegetables, lots of nitrogen fixers, so things that are fun and fresh when they sprout, like Clover and alfalfa. We'll do different kinds of beans and peas in those beds, lots of lettuces, lots of different kinds of green leafy vegetables on the top of that bed initially.
Andrea: Then at the end of the season we'll chop and drop that so anything left over, hopefully we've let it go to seed and we'll just cut it down, leave it there. We'll cover it with a new layer of dirt. Usually we dig another bed the next year, take a bunch of dirt out, throw it on top of one mound while we're digging another hole, and then we'll also cover that. We also try to mulch everything every winter, so we try to cover everything with either a bark mulch, if we've had a tree fall, we'll take that and wood chip it or we'll take grass trimmings or hay or anything that we've got. Whatever we have available to us, we just cover all of our beds so that they are warm throughout the winter and then we start watering in the following spring and a lot of times we'll see just what pops up and then we can also take from those beds and spread them out to other areas, or we can thin things out, add new items.
Andrea: In beds that are much older, you can grow root vegetables, so you've got a good, probably thick two to three feet of soil on top of the cistern below you and those you can grow your root vegetables in pretty well. But the new beds, I'd say you have to wait at least one or two years before you can start root vegetables and then successfully ... You'll get baby carrots, but you can't get anything that's really substantial.
Nicole: Just two or three years ago I built some raised beds and spent a lot of time on that, but I wish I had heard about this before because for us in this area, this sounds like literally the most perfect setup ever.
Andrea: It's really interesting because I believe, and I might be wrong about this, but that hugelkultur was a more Norwegian growing method. So it wasn't used a lot in very arid climates, but because they had short seasons and it was very cold, they needed the heat from the lower part of the bed and there they make giant hills. Their hills could be 20 to 30 feet high. So they'll dig way down and then they'll even pile logs up into a pyramid, a longhouse pyramid shape and then cover that with more dirt and they'll grow on a whole ... a 20 foot high hilled surface all the way up the size through the top, all the way down the sides.
Andrea: We do it on a much smaller level. When our friends talk to us about what they do in central Africa, it was just very fascinating to see that they can do larger small beds, that what really matters is the way that it recycles itself every year and just continues not just to improve the soil in the bed itself, but it improves the environment, the ecosystem all around the bed just by providing a source of groundwater, which is the way that things grow in nature, is they find a source to tap into a spring, a creek, groundwater flowing under the surface and that's what fuels and feeds them. If you can create that in an arid climate, you can have a very lush backyard without even realizing it, and without having to spend money on all of the extra shipped in water that simply hits the surface and then in our area in the summer evaporates almost anything.
Nicole: Yeah, it does. It's definitely ... the traditional model's not very sustainable at all. I imagine these beds require the initial investment of sweat equity and some material, but then they're probably ... I would assume they last for quite some time.
Andrea: Yeah, they're ever giving. Now the logs will break down in five to 10 years and there will no longer be an open area for water to gather there, but by that time your soil should be so rich with all of the different things that you've composted and it continues to get higher and higher that you might just dig a trench around the outside and then add logs and expand it width wise rather than going up. You can also go wider with them if you find that it starts to dry out, but the way that you create that really loose, loamy soil that you want, the plants love to grow in, easy for the roots to go down, holds a lot of moisture, has a lot of organic material in it is to do this. It's just a very slow roll composting, natural composting process that lasts for a very long time.
Nicole: Is there any variety of woods that are better than others or ones that can't be used?
Andrea: Yes, so I'm sure there are. We were pretty fly by the seat of our pants with what we did, so we just threw everything that we had in there, including cardboard boxes that didn't have any print on them. We have sapling trees that we'd cut down. We had a pine tree fall down and so we chipped a lot of that. Then the big sections, the trunks we couldn't chip, we chopped into just chopped wood and threw in there. It will affect the pH balance of your soil over time, but we found that it's easier to amend the top soil so that things can grow in a really healthy way than it is to try to be particular about the wood and the organic matter that you throw into the cistern. That matter is going to be so deep that it's really just composting itself and providing heat and nutrients and it's not going to affect the pH balance of the top soil and the things where your plants are gathering their own nutrients from.
Andrea: But I am sure that there are probably trees that are extremely sappy and/or might not be the best for hugelkultur beds. We haven't found one yet. We're doing our own experiments and testing and we tend to throw everything in there. We've used wood from old construction projects, so salvaged wood that's no longer good for us to build something but has been around for more than 10 years. So we're pretty confident it's been sapped out of glues or any kind of funky thing it was used to be pressure treated. We'll throw those in there. Any kind of organic browns that you can find we've used and tossed in.
Nicole: Wow. I'm a little oversaturated with information and thoughts. I totally just want to redo my garden now and switch everything to this. I love this idea. I've heard the name before but I've never really researched into it or I knew that it was just a mound of stuff, but then that was about it. But I totally understand and it really makes sense.
Andrea: We're still learning. I think there's lots of different ways to decide how you plant what you plant in each bed, and that's definitely a place where we're still learning and experimenting because planting on a hill is not as easy, especially if you do need to add water. How do you keep it a hill? How do you keep all of the soil from washing off the top of the logs of things is something we've been experimenting with a lot and we're still learning about as well.
Nicole: It all has its challenges. I'm sure there's no one perfect solution for everything. So what other sustainable practices do you guys utilize in your gardens?
Andrea: I think composting, which is pretty normal, but for both of us, it was something that our parents hadn't done. We had to get over the initial millennial disgust factor of having ... We have a glass jar, we probably should start with the glass jar. We have a giant glass jar on our kitchen counter that all of our food scrap goes into. We take it out to our compost bin every couple of days, but there was, for both of us, and we've been doing it now for a long time, but we had to get over the gross factor of that's the stuff you throw out. That's trash, that's garbage. There's no composting service here. When I was in California, we had three bins and there was a trash bin for compost and a trash bin for recyclables and a trash bin for trash.
Andrea: Whereas here in Colorado we didn't ... Even though we're a very environmentally friendly, conscious state, we just recently got, I think, the first composting service in town here. It's just one of those hurdles you get over that you think it's gross and then you realize that it's not gross at all. It's actually the fruit of your entire garden, is that you save all your food scraps. We religiously save all of our Amazon cardboard boxes. We save every bit of wood. We have big windstorms that come and knock down huge branches and trees, wreak havoc on big, beautiful developed neighborhoods with trees.
Andrea: When that happens, we're just snatching up, helping clean up as much as possible for our neighbors because we want all that organic material because it's hard to find good high quality browns in our area because there is so much xeriscaping, so many lawns ... People are taking out lawns, they just have rocks. There aren't very many full grown trees unless they're in these big, full-grown treed neighborhoods. So we'll go around picking those up. But we've become hunters and gatherers of organic browns, for sure. If we see something on the road, we'll go grab it.
Nicole: Totally not going to lie, I'm overwhelmed with the information and having a hard time coming up with good questions for you because wow. I mean, even if we stopped right now, this has been so interesting. So in your gardens locally, do you only do backyard gardens or do you do community gardens as well?
Andrea: We've tried really hard to work with some community gardens in the area and unfortunately it gets really political and so we've stepped back from that for a little while and are working to brainstorm a way for communities to do micro farmer's markets that are really on a non-cash basis. We have this dream of cul-de-sac co-ops where people who have backyard gardens get together with their neighbors and their communities, grow different things and just start a revival of the 1920s, 1930s lifestyle where, after the great depression, people just share the produce out of their backyards. They shared eggs from their chickens. Everybody kept a few chickens in the backyard because honestly, they're easier and less expensive than dogs and cats and yet they supply fresh protein for your family.
Andrea: We'd really love to encourage and find a way innovatively to, through the internet in a safe way, through Facebook or through social media, get people to connect and start trading produce. Start trading on things that aren't maybe available in their local grocery store or if they're like, "We are in this area," and they have food deserts very nearby, driving into certain areas and sharing from their own backyard gardens so that people who maybe don't have access to fresh produce within a long distance or don't have public transportation readily available to fresh produce have some access to that.
Andrea: Because I think every year we see it with zucchini. You've got the one neighbor who gardens who's bringing everybody more zucchini than they ever could dream of. So everybody can grow zucchini and tomatoes. That's great. That's a great start, but if you can grow zucchini and tomatoes, you can probably grow other things too. That's something I think we're really passionate about, is trying to figure out how to connect people in that way because community gardens are beautiful and if you can do them, more power to you. It's so exciting.
Andrea: But I think often the people who start them get really burnt out because it's not on land that you own. It's not in space where you decide who's paying for the water, especially around here. The issue is water. How do you create a community garden and decide who makes up for the expenses of that garden because they do have to be regularly watered? How do you get people to harvest it and to work it and to make sure that it doesn't just become a dilapidated mess because unfortunately if you get a community garden started and then you run into a health issue and have to abandon it, it leaves a foul taste in the mouth of the people of the community that were excited and initially supported it.
Andrea: But in your own backyard, it's your own backyard. Your fence is there, you do what you want in your own backyard, your neighbors don't usually get too involved, hopefully. But if we could start to generate some spaces in our communities where people more readily shared the produce from those backyards, I think that we could do a lot to really improve communities, community morale, and to help end food deserts in places where people don't readily have the access they need to basic fresh produce to feed their families.
Nicole: I think that it's been my little personal dream to start a little community garden out where I live in Pueblo West because to my knowledge, there's not one out there. But I've been concerned with a lot of the challenges that you've mentioned. I can't just quit my job and go start a garden for the community as much as I would like, and it would take a lot of people, and I know that there's a lot of challenges with help and like you said, with watering it. So the thought of a backyard garden really, it seems much more feasible and it makes a lot more sense. I feel like in our area especially, with the rise of cannabis, I feel like that a lot of backyard gardens are becoming more common. I know that I like to go to one of the growth supply stores in our town to get organic fertilizers and stuff if we need anything.
Nicole: The gentleman that works at the counter was like, "Yeah, I didn't know I could grow anything, and then I started growing cannabis and then I realized, Oh, I can actually grow stuff." So then they start growing vegetables and things. I think a lot of it is people are just so scared or they don't know where to start or they don't know how or they don't think that they can or maybe they don't know that they like gardening until they start.
Nicole: But it seems like the backyard garden thing is really on the rise and I hope that it continues and I love the idea. I mean, we grow everything and then we have too much of everything. So we always share with our neighbors and stuff. Especially right now, we have a plethora of chicken eggs because ... and then once we have our tomatoes and our zucchinis, but I really love the idea of supporting your community and giving back. It would of course help neighbor relations, so maybe if you share with your neighbor and then if you accidentally built a shed that they didn't like, I don't know, maybe they'd be more inclined to work with you.
Andrea: Yeah, my grandmother always tells this great story about how after the Great Depression they lived in a fourplex, but the owner of the fourplex gave them a plot of land and all four families that lived there worked that garden out back and it's how they all produced. She was so excited because they were a family of Mexican descent, but they lived next to Italians. So their garden, their two garden areas, were very different in what they grew, but they loved to trade them. When I hear that story and I think about where we live in Pueblo, we have incredible cultural diversity because of our history with the steel mills. I would love to see the things that are coming out of what people choose to grow, what they enjoy. It's so much better than waving at your neighbor across the way and saying, "Great front lawn."
Andrea: That's one thing, but when you get to enjoy the produce, the work that they've put in to growing a great tomato, growing a wonderful strawberry or growing something that's new to you, that's completely unfamiliar and not available in your grocery store, those are wonderful experiences. They build friendships, they build so much comradery and so much more willingness to overlook the political sign they put out front in their lawn. If you can just know, "That's okay. I'm going to get great artichokes from them next spring." I think it's really just ... and it was a way I think in early America that people got along. It's how they made friends. It's how they socialized. The thing is, I think people are afraid because we've grown to fear our neighbors because we don't really know what's going on in that house across the street.
Andrea: But with the rise of the internet and social media, we have the ability to do some of these things in a safer way. If we can pick a public park and say, "Everybody meet at this public park at two o'clock and bring your harvest for the week," and then we just share freely. Nobody's trading cash. We're not worried about anybody ripping anybody off or somebody stealing something. It's, "I've got two tomatoes. Would you take four potatoes for these two tomatoes?" Or whatever kind of bartering system you want to establish. I think it just creates so much more generosity and community.
Nicole: Absolutely. Like you talked about earlier with the food deserts and whatnot, I mean, just because somebody lives on your street and has a house and whatnot, that doesn't necessarily mean that they're getting by day to day. Maybe your produce that you bring them is some of the only produce that they are able to provide for their family. I'm sure that they probably aren't going to tell you, "Hey, I'm not able to do this on my own," but of course they would be incredibly grateful and you could really make somebody's life a lot better by sharing your excess and just the whole community thing. there's no bad that can come from it, really.
Andrea: Yeah, and I think it's so much more. It's really a mental health thing. I think I've been reading too much about the royalty on the other side of the pond, but it talks about how Kate put together a garden for mental health. And I thought, "Yeah, I mean, I think everything I do with gardening improves my own mental health so much." I think when you share that produce, when you hear people's stories, that if you can get people gardening, then you have the ability to really also improve the mental health of your entire community. I was a foster parent for a while and it was incredible to see the way the kids that came into my home would change and would get these ... these aha light bulb moments would go off in their head because they plant a seed, they would care for it, they would water it, they would see it grow, they would get to go put it in the ground.
Andrea: They would get to see it produce fruit and the parallels that we could draw to just help them process the trauma and the things they'd gone through in life was so incredible. Just the value of seeing what can come from little tiny seeds and how that can change you as a person and then how you can take it and give it to someone else. It's just really like ... I don't want to get too fluffy, but it's really a spiritual, emotional health matter for me. If I'm not out in a garden, if I'm not growing something and if I'm not sharing what I'm growing, what am I doing?
Nicole: Yeah, absolutely. I feel exactly the same way. So if somebody was interested in starting your cul-de-sac co-op like you mentioned, what would be some of your recommendations for them to get the ball rolling on that?
Andrea: Yeah, I would say it's decide what you love to grow and start small. Start in a really attainable way. I didn't start by digging giant beds with my partner to create hugelkultur. I started with a palette on my patio in my studio apartment in the middle of the city, and I had boxes, cardboard boxes with a dirt in them. I had those on baking sheets on top of this palette. I grew chilies because I missed Pueblo chilies from home, so I had somebody send me some chili seeds. I grew chilies and I grew tomatoes and I grew basil because I wanted to be able to have those things on pizza and that's all I grew and I got plenty of them. In my tiny apartment I could share them with neighbors. There was still enough in my three cardboard boxes out on my two foot by two foot, my four cubic foot patio.
Andrea: I watered those by hand. I didn't have a hose, didn't have anything. I had two bags of soil and a couple of cardboard boxes and some seeds and that was good enough. Start where you can, start where it's attainable. If you don't feel like you want to garden your whole backyard, don't garden your whole backyard. Just start with one container and learn how to grow things in that container. Then if you want to expand from there, if the garden bug bites you, then expand from there and see where it takes you. I love to podcast, but I love to watch gardening YouTube videos. It's maybe just because I'm a garden nerd, but you can learn so much about how to grow something, about how to prune peppers, for example. How to top off peppers or how to grow tomatoes.
Andrea: Or if you want to learn about companion planting, like why it's good to plant basil alongside your tomatoes and marigolds. Why do marigolds and basil and tomato all make for a beautiful garden bed that also gives you really delicious tomatoes? Today we live in a place where you can learn how to do anything you want to learn how to do. You just have to go to YouTube and learn how to do it. So I would say if you want to get started, just be brave. YouTube, google, "How do I start a container garden?" and go from there. If you have a bigger piece of land, if you want to build raised beds, just google, "How do I build those raise beds?" and start doing the research. Instead of scrolling through Facebook in the middle of the night, or watching Instagram, take some time and take yourself to YouTube university and you might find it's really enriching in a way that you didn't realize it could be.
Nicole: I've never heard the phrase YouTube university before. I like that. I love YouTube. It's the best. You can learn literally anything on there. So with all of your experience, what would you say is your favorite thing that you've grown in your garden?
Andrea: This one is really special to me and really close to my heart, but we had three foster kiddos who came to us when they were one, two and four and we took them out to a local farm to pick pumpkins. It was the first time they'd ever done that, and they brought those pumpkins home and they sat on our porch and they didn't want to carve them. They didn't want to cut them open, they didn't want to do any of that. They were just excited to have their pumpkins. Eventually they moved on and went to live in a permanent home, which was very good and healthy for them. But I was left with their three pumpkins. We'd taken them and thrown them in the compost bin after they had gone bad and they sat there. But I, in the back of my head, paid really close attention to where I put that shovel of compost.
Andrea: I knew where it was, I knew where to put it, I knew where he'd put it in the garden. In my head I thought, "I know where the seeds from those pumpkins are." The next year, even though the boys were gone, we got three really beautiful pumpkin plants and those three really beautiful pumpkins produced three more really great pumpkins that we sat out on our patio again and that were there for Halloween and the same process. Now it's been three years and I was so excited because it's spring and I had lost track of where they had gone. Out of the middle of nowhere in my tomato bed, there are three very distinct pumpkin plants that have volunteered in that location. I'm just excited about that because I think it's such a unique thing, that when you plant a seed it carries on a legacy whether you want it to or not.
Andrea: So it's been a great reminder for me of those beautiful boys that we raised for a little while, that we had for a season, that are gone now, but we're so grateful to have them in our lives for that time. The pumpkins that they picked out are still alive and well and reproducing to this day, which to me just is a little sign from nature that things are going to work out and that everything's going to be okay. It gives me a lot of hope and a lot of excitement about the future. Even when they don't go maybe the way that I would have hoped they go, hope that things would go, that still nature takes its course and that if you trust it can be a good course.
Nicole: That's such a heartwarming story with such a lovely little lesson wrapped in. Thank you so much for sharing that. For those that would like to learn more about your story and the cul-de-sac co-op, how can people reach you and get more information?
Andrea: Yeah, we just started our Instagram so you can find us on Instagram @ramsgate.ranch and we'll be posting pictures throughout the spring of the things that come up and we'll also start talking about how we build hugelkultur beds here in Pueblo, what we've put in ours. We'll start posting some of our throwbacks of when we first began, what the backyard looked like when it started. If you follow us there, you can keep track of what we're doing and if we get the cul-de-sac copes running and off the ground, that'll be the best way to find us and to learn more about how to start a cul-de-sac co up in your own area.
Andrea: We hopefully will give you some guidance, hopefully put out some kind of training via video and then also some documentation to help you. Legally how you set up, how do you create this non-cash basis farmer's market in your area, what is some things to be concerned or looked out for? And then what are some things to try to encourage and how do you connect with your neighbors? How do you start that first conversation? Things like that. We hope to get going and it'll all be found there on @ramsgate.ranch on Instagram.
Nicole: Awesome. I know I just started following you guys and I'm excited to see how you grow and learn all that there is to learn because I have a lot to learn still.
Andrea: Yeah, we all do. It's fun.
Nicole: Yeah. Well, Andrea, thank you so much for taking the time to join us today and to share all of your information. I really enjoyed hearing all of the experiences that you've had and all of your tips for gardening here and I appreciate your time.
Andrea: Yeah, thank you. I was excited to just be able to contribute and to get to know you a little bit better and it's been good.
Nicole: Yeah, it was wonderful to have you. For the listeners, thank you again for joining us for another episode of Backyard Bounty and we'll see you again next week.

MCH Group, Angus Montgomery and the Founding Director Neha Kirpal are pleased to announce that MCH Group has taken a co-ownership stake in India Art Fair in advance of the 2017 edition, to take place 2-5 February 2017. India is the first region of focus and India Art Fair is the first step in realising MCH Group's ambition to create a portfolio of leading regional art fairs, as it announced in March 2016.

India Art Fair, founded in 2008, is South Asia's leading platform for modern and contemporary art and a portal to the region's cultural landscape. Over the past decade this region has seen an explosion of cultural activity with the establishment of major new contemporary art initiatives such as the Kochi Muziris Biennale, the Karachi Biennale, the Colombo Art Biennale and the Dhaka Art Summit. In conjunction with this, modern and contemporary Indian art has been increasingly profiled around the globe with major exhibits at prestigious cultural organisations including The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Met Breuer, Tate Modern and the Venice Art Biennale.
With the co-ownership in India Art Fair, MCH Group enters a new geographic and market segment, pursuing its strategic aim to expand its range of services and to make its product portfolio more international. India Art Fair will benefit from MCH Group's knowledge as an international leading exhibition organiser as well as its digital expertise. In July 2016, MCH Group hired two digital experts who will contribute in this partnership by amplifying and developing digital initiatives in the art sector. MCH Group will work in partnership with the existing team at India Art Fair and the value of its engagement will fully come into effect from 2018.
Sandy Angus, Chairman of Angus Montgomery, said: "Since we joined India Art Fair in 2011, we have seen significant growth in visitor numbers and sales, with the fair truly establishing itself as by far the most significant art fair in the region. With MCH Group's network and expertise we look forward to realising the full potential of this signature event".

Q: How to escape special characters in Oracle Data Pump Environment
Oracle 19c on Linux
cat export_schema.par

DIRECTORY=USER_CLONE
DUMPFILE=export_user.dmp
schemas=USER@YAHOO.CA

The export fails with "USER" not found error.
Somehow, @ and anything beyond it is ignored.
I tried the "" escape character as follows.
DIRECTORY=USER_CLONE
DUMPFILE=export_user.dmp
schemas=USER\@YAHOO.CA

The export fails with "USER@YAHOO.CA" not found error.
Any suggestions how I can escape "@" in the par file or from the command line.
Thanks in advance.

A: Where is this schema name coming from? Oracle schema/user names typically cannot contain "@" characters. From the documentation:

Nonquoted identifiers can only contain alphanumeric characters from your database character set and the underscore (_).

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/sqlrf/Database-Object-Names-and-Qualifiers.html#GUID-75337742-67FD-4EC0-985F-741C93D918DA
Using double quotes on usernames and other identifiers to force the use of other special characters is not recommended, as it would not be compatible with most client applications, and would force any reference to the schema to be enclosed in double quotes for any usage. In an application like Data Pump where schema names may be offset with double quotes regardless, it may not be possible to have such characters.

A: Are you sure your username is "USER@YAHOO.CA"? It could also your external name if you e.g. use Kerberos authentication.
Try to get your username like this:
SELECT USERNAME FROM USER_USERS

Daniel

OK, we don't really know anything about this sequel's Xbox Live play, but just hearing that it will have online play is good enough for us. After all, Rainbow Six 3 is still hovering near the top of the Xbox Live charts, and it's been out for years now. Part of me is hoping that Ubisoft decides to ditch the whole "persistent world" mode that made an appearance in Lockdown, the last game in the series. Still, if there's one thing that the R6 team knows, it's how to make a satisfying multiplayer experience. Plus, the game featured some truly impressive visuals, and we're hoping that they'll translate to the multiplayer side of things.
The boys from Bungie are poised to take Xbox Live by storm yet again. Is there any doubt that this will be at the top of the charts from the moment it's released? OK, to be frank, we don't even know if there will be a multiplayer mode, but we have a sneaking suspicion that the game will feature a bevy of Xbox Live options, from co-op play to competitive multiplayer. Please, guys, just tell us a little bit about what we can expect in terms of multiplayer action. Hell, at this point we'd be happy with a Halo 3 theme for the greatest game in the history of Xbox Live Arcade, UNO.
Well, there's our list of the best Xbox Live games that were at E3, although we should note that much of this info is pure speculation (psst, I heard that Master Chief can fly!). There were also a lot of PC multiplayer games that got my mouth a-watering, including Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and World of Warcraft. Will we ever see these games on the Xbox 360? Even if they never make it to consoles, we're happy to see that the future of Xbox Live is brighter than ever.
Have any questions? Feel like challenging me to a game online? Any topics you'd like to suggest for future columns? Drop me a line! I promise I'll write back if you're nice. Or even if you're not.

Tuesday 4 September 2018: Maltese Buffet Dinner
Included in Registration Fee for Participants.
Price for other persons: EUR 30 per person.
Wednesday 5 September 2018: Optional Evening Tour to Birgu and Dinner
Price: EUR 55 per person. Dinner in Birgu including ferry crossing from Valletta and transport. (Min. no. of pax: 17).
The tour will start with a crossing from Valletta to the Three Cities by boat, a splendid way of experiencing the Grand Harbour. Upon arrival in Vittoriosa (or Birgu, as it is better known), the tour proceeds with a walk along the streets of this city. The name 'Vittoriosa' derives from the vital role the city played in the Great Siege of 1565, namely the victory of the Knights of St John and the Maltese against the Ottoman forces. A monument commemorating this victory can be admired in the main square of the city.
Vittoriosa was the area first selected by the Knights to serve as headquarters of the Order, before the building of the city of Valletta. In fact, the first buildings erected by the Knights are to be found here. Practically none of these building, however, are intact as the area was heavily damaged during the Second World War. Some of the old buildings have been totally rebuilt whilst others have been restored and are nowadays residences, offices or restaurants.
The evening tour ends in one of these restaurants for dinner.
Thursday 6 September 2018: Optional Evening Tour to Mdina and Dinner
Price: EUR 50 per person. Dinner in Mdina including transport. (Min. no. of pax: 17).
Mdina, the old capital city of Malta, is the Island's most picturesque city. The tour starts with a walk through the narrow streets of this small medieval city, which allows the visitors to take in the highly ornate façades of the palazzi belonging to the most important Maltese noble families. The oldest palazzo, Palazzo Santa Sofia, dates back to the 15th century. Dominating the city is the imposing Cathedral built by the famous Maltese architect Lorenzo Gafá. The dome of this sacred building was Gafa's masterpiece and is now considered as one of the symbols of the city.
The walk leads to the bastions, one of the highest points in the area, from where visitors can admire a panoramic view of the Island. Overlooking the whole area, it is easy to understand why the medieval soldiers used this part of the city as look-out post in order to intervene should there be attacks in the surrounding areas.
The walk is followed by dinner in one of Mdina's exquisite restaurants.

Sammi's Favorite Things: Ladies Who Punch The Explosive Inside Story of The View
Like most women my age, I spent my teens and twenties watching The View on ABC. I remember when it all began with Barbara, Joy, Debbie, Meredith and Star, as well as every other host who was on. While I never considered myself to be a loyal watcher, I did enjoy the Hot Topics and guests that were on the show.
This is why I was so excited to see that there was going to be a tell-all book released. "Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View" by Ramin Setoodeh, goes in depth about what really went on between the cohosts, who really got fired and the root of that infamous fight between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselback. We also learn the truth behind Star Jones's wedding fiasco and what Barbara Walters was really like off camera.
In short, it is a great, juicy read for fans of the show and those who just like celebrity gossip. There are three sections (Barbara's View, Rosie's View and Whoopi's View) and each one goes into great detail of showing how the show evolved and how each host and moderator brought something different to the table.
The book can currently be found on Amazon.

Linnéa Roxeheim, född 10 mars 1984 i Stockholm, är en svensk filmregissör, manusförfattare och rollsättare. Hon fick sitt genombrott som manusförfattare och regissör med dramaserien Portkod 1321 för SVT Play år 2012, som nominerades till Årets TV-drama på Kristallen 2013.

Biografi
Roxeheim började med film som barnskådespelare på 1990-talet och som tonåring hade hon en mindre roll i filmen Livet är en schlager (2000), där hon spelade just en tonåring, och Klassfesten (2002), där hon spelade den unga Jeanette, men hon har sedan 2004 främst stått bakom kameran. Hon studerade under 2004 filmskapande vid New York Film Academy i Los Angeles och 2006-2007 psykologi vid Uppsala universitet. År 2006 gick hon en utbildning i dokumentärfilm vid Birkagårdens folkhögskola. Hon utexaminerades från regilinjen på Dramatiska Institutet 2010.

Hon var mellan 2003 och 2004 med i tonårspopgruppen Miio.

Efter att ha börjat studera film gjorde hon 2006 en egen dokumentärfilm, Vitt porslin, som handlar om hennes egna erfarenheter om hur det är att leva med ätstörningar.

Åren 2011–2012 regisserade hon sex stycken kortfilmer på 6-7 minuter var för ungdomsprogrammet 15 – Det är mitt liv på SVT Play, som var och en handlar om olika teman. Dessa sex kortfilmer var Kan inte sluta (ungdomsbrottslighet), IG-barn ((skolresultat, betyg), Ligger runt (sexualitet), Svika pappa (fängelse, familj), Alla andra (vänskap, alkohol) och Jag skär mig (självskadebeteende).

Today the MDFPP (as an example) is a fairly cohesive set if requirements about a device evaluation, but NIAP has started to break it into smaller components (basically a Base-PP and PP-Modules). While this approach seems to have its benefits in reuse of common components across multiple Base-PPs (such as GPOS), this leads to a question of balance and scope of the requirements for a product under evaluation. When a PP is written for a specific product type as a whole, it is generally easy to see how to balance the requirements to produce an evaluation that matches the product functionality and features in scope. When the PP is broken into PP-Modules, each with their own focus, it becomes more difficult to maintain this balance to the end product under review. As each PP-Module becomes its own entity, it tends to drive focus specifically on that one component (for example Wi-Fi requirements), and while individually the scope may seem appropriate, when placed within the context of the Base-PP (of overall PP-Configuration), these smaller components may cause the overall balance of the evaluation to be lost. This talk will look at the benefits and tradeoffs between both approaches and where it may be useful to keep a PP together vs relying on PP-Modules or Packages.

Q: how to make this git alias? I use this command to export all files in specify commit(s)
git archive --output=export.zip --format=zip HEAD $(git diff --name-only COMMIT1 COMMIT2)

I want to make an alias so I dont need type this long command everytime.
I tried:
git config --global alias.he "archive --output=\"$1\" --format=zip HEAD \$(git diff --name-only \"$2\" \"$3\")

However, when I run git he 1.zip COMMIT1 COMMIT2, it prompts
error: unknown option `name-only'

Could anyone help me for this?
Thanks

A: Aliases don't generally take positional parameters. A better way to do this would be to write a short script - assuming you want to use the syntax you mention (git he 1.zip COMMIT1 COMMIT2), name the script git-he and put it somewhere in your path (e.g. ${HOME}/bin if you are the only expected user, or /usr/local/bin for broader accessibility):
#!/bin/sh
git archive --output="$1" --format=zip HEAD $(git diff --name-only "$2" "$3")

For subcommands it doesn't recognize, git will search your path for a script named git-<command>. It would be a good idea to put some sanity checking on the arguments in, and make sure to chmod +x <path>/<to>/git-he.

A: I suggest using a shell alias for this. I have several aliases defined in my bash profile.
alias gs='git status '
alias ga='git add '
alias gb='git branch '
alias gc='git commit'
alias gd='git diff'
alias go='git checkout '

I mostly just use gs instead of git status. But that should give you an idea.

A: Change your double quotes for the command itself to single quotes, like so:
git config --global alias.he "archive --output='$1' --format=zip HEAD \$(git diff --name-only '$2' '$3')

No need to escape single quotes within double quotes.

A: Just open you terminal and type
pico ~/.gitconfig

and paste this under your credentials
[alias]
    ci = commit
    cm = commit -am
    br = branch
    newbr = checkout -b
    delbr = branch -d
    showbr = for k in `git branch|sed s/^..//`;do echo -e `git log -1 --pretty=format:"%Cgreen%ci %Cblue%cr%Creset" "$k" --`\\t"$k";done|sort
    co = checkout
    df = diff
    dfc = diff --staged
    changes=diff --name-status -r
    diffstat=diff --stat -r
    lg = log --graph --oneline --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset - %C(yellow)%s%Creset %C(green)<%an<%Creset' --abbrev-commit
    new = !sh -c 'git log $1@{1}..$1@{0} "$@"'
    llog = log --date=local
    fork = remote add -f

And when ever you want to add or remove aliases just edit this.

Addition of mustard contributes to the taste and further stabilizes the emulsion, as mustard contains small amounts of lecithin. If vinegar is added directly to the yolk, it can emulsify more oil, thus making more mayonnaise.
The sharp bitterness of the yellow mustard pairs quite well with the sweetness of the mayo. They key is to not directly mix the two. Make sure they are dressed on separate pieces of bread separated by the meat, lettuce, cheese, etc.
Layer meats, cheeses, and other sturdy items toward the bottom—they anchor everything. Delicate ingredients like lettuces, sprouts, or fresh herbs go up top. Include a variety of textures. Tender meat and creamy cheese and crisp lettuce (or potato chips! or red onion!) are sandwich staples for a reason.
Butter, mayonnaise, prepared mustard, and ketchup are typical sandwich spreads, along with their variants such as Thousand Island dressing, Tartar sauce, and Russian dressing. Spreads are different from dips, such as salsa, which are generally not applied to spread onto food, but have food dipped into them, instead.
The Monte Cristo Sandwich tends to vary from restaurant to restaurant. ... If you love French Toast, you will definitely love this sandwich. The basic sandwich is a double-decker sandwich, two slices of white bread containing ham, turkey, or chicken, and a slice of cheese that are dipped in beaten egg and fried in butter.
Monte Cristo sandwiches are of American origin. Some sources credit the sandwich's invention to the Monte Cristo Hotel in Everett, Washington, in its second building erected in 1925 [2]. The hotel itself was named after the Monte Cristo mining region in the Cascades Mountains.

The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an adventure novel written by French author Alexandre Dumas (père) completed in 1844. It is one of the author's more popular works, along with The Three Musketeers.
How to Make a Monte Cristo Sandwich
Take two slices of bread and spread mayo on them. Place a slice of cheese and two slices of ham on one slice.
Cover with another slice of bread and a swipe of mustard. Add two slices of turkey and another slice of cheese. Top with the last slice of bread.
Alexandre Dumas' famous story, The Count of Monte Cristo, was a fictional story based on real events. One of its characters, a mad-genius of a scientist who writes his greatest work in prison, was based on a real person. ... Alexandre Dumas tells the story of Edmond Dantès, a wrongfully imprisoned man.
The description of him in the later parts of the book describe his skin as almost bone-white, following his years in the Chateau d'If out of sunlight. His hair, it's true, is black and his eyes are described as black. However, there's no indication that his ancestry is anything but white French.
It's a place. It means 'of If'. Not the same as 'if I'm English. Château d'If - Wikipedia.
Pierre Picaud (French: [piko]) was a 19th-century shoemaker in Nîmes, France who may have been the basis for the character of Edmond Dantès in Alexandre Dumas, père's 1844 novel The Count of Monte Cristo. ... Picaud first murdered Chaubart or had him murdered.
After six long years in solitary confinement in the dungeons of the Chateau, Edmond decides to commit suicide by starving himself. Fearing he will be forced to eat, he throws out his food in secrecy. After nearly six months, he hears scratching against the wall of his cell.
At the age of nineteen, Edmond Dantès seems to have the perfect life. He is about to become the captain of a ship, he is engaged to a beautiful and kind young woman, Mercédès, and he is well liked by almost everyone who knows him.
The wicked Fernand Mondego is Edmond Dantès's main antagonist. He is deeply jealous of Dantès for winning the heart of his cousin Mercedes, for whom he has unrequited feelings. Mondego knows that so long as Dantès is in the picture, he will never be able to be with Mercedes. So he resolves to have him destroyed.

Master Debaters

The trophy case outside of the debate room houses all of the trophies that the debate kids have won.
Riley Adamson, Copy Editor
The debate team was at state Friday through Sunday. I had the privilege of interviewing three of the debaters, Jordan King, Ella Erwin, and Maddie Lauritzen. Jordan King, a sophomore at Lake City, participates in congressional debate, duo interpretation, expository speaking, oratorical analysis, extemporaneous speaking. King says that her favorite part of debate is her teammates. The other two agreed that this was one of the best parts of debate, although there are some strong personalities on the team.
Ella Erwin, also a sophomore at Lake City, participates in public forum debate, humorous interpretation, retold story, and editorial commentary. She said that her favorite part of debate was "the tournaments, and getting to compete with others, and it brings a sense of teamwork and accomplishment."
Maddie Lauritzen, who participates in congressional debate, duo interpretation, interpretive reading, and oratorical analysis, joked that her favorite part of debate was, "Winning. We win a lot, so it's very fun when we win. We bring home trophies, which is fun."
the tournaments, and getting to compete with others, and it brings a sense of teamwork and accomplishment."
— Ella Erwin
All jokes aside, the debate kids work insanely hard to prepare for tournaments. There is a reason that Lake City's debate team is so successful, and the answer resides in the hard work and determination of the students involved in debate. From personal observation, I have found that the debate kids are so committed to their purpose that they spend a lot of time thinking and discussing debate. "Everybody hates us because all we talk about is debate," Maddie Lauritzen laughs. To learn more about the debate team at Lake City, you can visit this link.

Iron Reaver is a boss in the Hellfire Citadel in Tanaan Jungle. After being defeated during the Hellfire Assault, Siegemaster Mar'tak pilots the Iron Reaver to show intruders the true power of Gul'dan's Horde. The fight revolves around how easily the raid can dodge the various attacks that come from the boss.
The schematics for the Iron Reaver were found in the workshop of Blackfuse himself after the fall of Orgrimmar, drawing inspiration from the mighty constructs of the Legion and designed to be the nefarious goblin's masterwork. The project was completed after his death, and represents the pinnacle of the Iron Horde's military might.
We started out thinking of the traditional Outland Fel Reaver here, but the more mechanized side of the Legion is only present in an all-out invasion, and that didn't really feel appropriate given the nature of their involvement here. So instead we went with an interpretation of the Fel Reaver that reflects the apex of the goblin-influenced siege vehicle that Garrosh brought to the Iron Horde: an evolved version of the Iron Juggernaut that once defended Orgrimmar, retrofitted to use fel power.
Before reaching full power, the Iron Reaver fights enemies on the ground, leveraging her size and technological superiority against opponents. Upon reaching full power, the Iron Reaver takes to the skies. While flying, the Reaver takes 95% reduced damage and has access to an arsenal of new devastating abilities.
Spread out to reduce the chance that Unstable Orb damages multiple allies.
When the Iron Reaver marks you for Artillery, move away from other raid members before the Reaver finishes locking on.
Pounding inflicts high raid-wide damage.
Spread out to reduce the chance of taking Unstable Orb's splash damage.
Before reaching full power, the Iron Reaver fights enemies on the ground, leveraging her size and technological superiority against opponents.
Immolation — A sticky, fiery patch burns the ground, inflicting 12000 Fire damage every second for 9 sec. This effect stacks. Various abilities in the encounter may manipulate these patches.
Artillery — Fires an overheated Artillery shell at a target, inflicting 450000 Fire damage to all targets, decreasing in damage based on distance from the impact point, up to 40 yards. Overall damage is decreased by 55% while flying.
Unstable Orb — Fires an Unstable Orb at targets, burning all targets within 8 yards for 12750 Fire damage every second for 15 sec. This effect stacks.
Barrage — Fires a massive barrage of superheated shells in a frontal cone, inflicting 256500 to 283500 Fire damage to enemies within 5 yards of each impact location.
Pounding — Pounds the ground for 12920 to 14280 damage every half-second for 6 sec.
Blitz — Charges in a targeted direction, grabbing all enemies within her path. Targets are silenced and pacified while moving. Being struck by Blitz inflicts 95000 to 105000 Fire damage and an additional 7500 Fire damage every half-second for 15 sec. This effect stacks.
Volatile Firebomb — This Volatile Firebomb detonates if not defeated within 25 sec, inflicting 97500 to 102500 Fire damage to all enemies and increasing Firebomb damage taken by 50% for 30 sec. This effect stacks and also knocks away nearby Immolation patches.
Upon reaching full power, the Iron Reaver takes to the skies. While flying, the Reaver takes 95% reduced damage and has access to an arsenal of new devastating abilities.
Quick-Fuse Firebomb — This Quick-Fuse Firebomb detonates if not defeated within 12 sec, inflicting 48750 to 51250 Fire damage to all enemies and increasing Firebomb damage taken by 50% for 30 sec. This effect stacks.
Burning Firebomb — Attacks against the Burning Firebomb afflict the attacker with Flame Vulnerability, increasing Fire damage taken by 15% for 6 sec. This effect stacks. This Burning Firebomb detonates if not defeated within 40 sec, inflicting 121875 to 128125 Fire damage to all enemies and increasing Firebomb damage taken by 50% for 30 sec. This effect stacks.
Reactive Firebomb — Leaping on top of a Reactive Firebomb destroys it, inflicting 585000 to 615000 Physical damage. This Burning Firebomb detonates if not defeated within 30 sec, inflicting 487500 to 512500 Fire damage to all enemies and increasing Firebomb damage taken by 50% for 30 sec. This effect stacks.
Reinforced Firebomb — This Reinforced Firebomb detonates if not defeated within 1.25 min, inflicting 487500 to 512500 Fire damage to all enemies and increasing Firebomb damage taken by 50% for 30 sec. This effect stacks.
Fuel Streak — Coats the ground in sticky fuel, reducing movement speed by 40% for 3 sec.
Flash Fire — The Immolation ignites the Fuel Streak, inflicting 99750 to 110250 Fire damage to enemies within 3 yards of the impact location.
Falling Slam — Leaps at a targeted location, inflicting 65000 Nature damage to all enemies and an additional 1662500 to 1837500 Nature damage to all targets within 30 yards.
Energized Fist — Each successive Falling Slam increases the damage of Pounding by 20%.
This fight is heavy on movement, so speed buffs will be useful. The boss requires 2 tanks and has two phases: Ground, which the boss starts out with, and Air, which starts when the boss reaches 100 energy. Pop [Bloodlust] on pull, as there is no advantage in waiting and there will be more movement and distractions as the fight goes on.
Shortly after being engaged, the boss will begin firing Barrages at non-tank players, walking backwards 3 paces and then firing a spray of felfire the direction she is facing. The attack can be easily dodged by moving to the side. Artillery and Barrages will also leave large pools of felfire around the raid, simply do not stand in the fire. In addition, the boss will occasionally use Pounding, causing unavoidable AOE damage to the raid which is increased when players stand within 6 yards of each other. Spread out to avoid unnecessary damage. The force of Pounding also pushes pools of fire away from the boss, so be mindful and position yourself accordingly. Blitz is when the boss charges up for a few seconds, then rushes in the direction of a random player. The charge-up time should give enough chance to move out of the way. Those who are hit will be carried along with the Iron Reaver across the arena before the boss rushes in the opposite direction.
For tanks, the Iron Reaver will target it's current tank with Artillery, causing the tank to increase in size and have a large red arrow above them similar to [Hunter's Mark]. Once the Artillery debuff expires, the targeted tank will be shot with a massive explosive blast. While most tanks will be able to survive this with more than half their health, other nearby raid members will take deadly damage. Set up a marker safely away from the raid (some raids prefer two markers, one for each tank) for your tanks to run toward when they are targeted with Artillery, tank-swapping whenever one is targeted. In regards to Blitz and Barrage, the boss will be moving around the arena and the tanks must be fast enough to pick up the boss while managing to keep Artillery away from the raid.
Once the boss reaches 100 energy, she will enter her Air Phase. At this point she reduces all damage taken by 95%, making it useless to attack. Instead the raid should be focusing on the Volatile Firebombs she drops as she strafes the raid. The bombs are on a timer and will cause major damage to the entire raid if the timer runs out, so kill them asap. Complicating matters is that she will also be targeting 3 non-tank players with a weaker, though still potent, Artillery. Targeted players should simply avoid standing near other raid members. The boss will also be firing streaks of ignited oil across the arena. Dodge them as you take out the bombs and stay out of the oil, as well as the felfire left over from phase 1. Once the Iron Reaver reaches zero energy, she will crash down with Falling Slam, creating a large visible circle where she is going to land. Once she lands, finish off any bombs remaining before switching back to the boss. Once her Air phase is done, her Pounding will becoming stronger with a stacking buff, but the raid should be able to kill the boss before it gets higher than 2 stacks.
Mar'tak retreats to the fortress and brings out a massive machine.
Iron Reaver yells: The might and invention of the Fel Horde... the fury of Hellfire itself! Behold!
Tick tock, the clock is ticking!
Tick tock, your time is up!
Ha ha ha, that was fun.
Iron Reaver yells: EJECT! EJECT!
Archmage Khadgar yells: The citadel is breached! Gul'dan is within. I will establish a foothold here - press forward!
The Iron Reaver's parts came from Blackrock Foundry.
Hotfix (2015-07-16): "Fixed an issue where visuals denoting the target area for Falling Slam may not display correctly if the targeted player was in the air when it was cast."
Fixed an issue where Iron Reaver's Blitz ability could cause players to be stuck when attempting to use a flight path after the encounter."
Hotfix (2015-06-26): "Players should no longer be spammed with loot notifications for Internal Stabilizer Equipment Plan after defeating Iron Reaver."

What is a Bird?
Birds are in the biological classification Aves. They are winged, bipedal vertebrate animals that lay eggs. There are about 10,000 species of birds throughout the world that range in size from about 2 inches for the smallest hummingbird to the ostrich at over 8 feet tall.
Birds evolved from dinosaurs during the Jurassic period, and modern birds are characterized by feathered bodies, a light-weight strong skeleton, a beak with no teeth, a four-chambered heart, and the laying of eggs with hard shells. Birds also have unique digestive and respiratory systems that are adapted for flight. Many species of birds are highly intelligent, such as the corvids and parrots.
Migration is the regular seasonal journey that many birds undertake. Most birds are social species and communicate through visual displays, songs, and calls. Most birds are monogamous, choosing one mate per breeding season. Eggs are usually laid in a nest and cared for by both parents.
Currently, about 1,200 species of birds are in danger of extinction due to human activity.
