Borg Tower (briefly Garmadon Tower) is located near the center of New Ninjago City, where the final battle took place. The tower is currently the tallest building in the city, standing at over 100 floors high. It was built by Cyrus Borg, who also invented the Nindroids. Borg Tower was where the Digital Overlord began his quest to corrupt the Nindroids and become the Golden Master. After fulfilling said purpose, he staged a final fight against the Ninja right by the tower. The battle ended with Zane sacrificing himself to vanquish the dark lord.
For several years, Borg Tower dominated the skyline of Ninjago City. When the Sons of Garmadon raided the building and stole the Mask of Vengeance, Lloyd intervened and fought against them. After Lord Garmadon was resurrected, he conquered Ninjago City and defaced the outside of the building with a corrupt, black and purple color scheme. Borg Tower now serves as his personal headquarters.
Serpentine Wars
Though not physically present, the Borg Tower was seen by both Krux and Master Wu as a vision of it was seen inside of the time vortex before it closed, where it would ultimately tell the exact time of when Acronix would return to Ninjago; forty years into the future.
After the events of "Rise of the Spinjitzu Master," Cyrus Borg began constructing Borg Tower where the Overlord was defeated. It was finished sometime before the events of "The Surge", and is now a main location of New Ninjago City.
The Surge
Borg Tower was set as the destination of a field trip set up by Master Wu, his four Ninja heroes, and Nya for the children at Master Wu's Academy that day, and they took a non-futuristic school bus (due to Wu's preferring non-futuristic transportation) to the Tower and entered for a tour. There, they met Cyrus Borg and P.I.X.A.L., who led the students, Wu, and Nya on the rest of the tour while Cyrus took the Ninja to his office. After giving them a statue of him containing the Techno Blades and new ninja suits, the Ninja took to the elevator. Soon after, a mysterious virus infected Borg Tower, infecting all the machinery including P.I.X.A.L. in an effort to stop the Ninja from escaping. P.I.X.A.L. informed them that their tour "ends here," with her and the machinery trying to kill Nya, Wu and the children. All of them made it past the machines, taking out some of them in the process, and eventually everything including P.I.X.A.L was disinfected. The virus remained in Borg Tower's digital system, corrupting Cyrus Borg (mainly his "spider-legs") and taking over the whole Tower (and New Ninjago City). He reinfected P.I.X.A.L., and Borg Tower remained infected for the rest of the episode.
The Art of the Silent Fist
Back at Borg Tower, the virus still lurks in its digital system using an infected P.I.X.A.L. to get it free. However, now that he can control Cyrus Borg's spider-legs, the virus has other plans.
Once Zane has shut down New Ninjago City's power source, Borg Tower is shut down along with the rest of the city.
In and under Borg Tower is a series of events that leads to trying to retrieve the virus and the retrieving of Cyrus Borg somewhere inside the tower's assembly lines. Sensei Wu is then turned into Techno Wu in the tower.
In a mysterious stranger's room under the Tower, the virus and the stranger must find out how to make sure they can capture the Green Ninja for his golden powers.
The Curse of the Golden Master
The Tower only makes small cameos here and there in the scenes in New Ninjago City.
Enter the Digiverse
Borg Tower became a battle ground once again when a group of Nindroids lead by Pythor attempted to storm the tower to retrieve the Techno Blades. Aside from this, Cyrus Borg and P.I.X.A.L. were looking for a way for the Ninja to use the techno blades and reboot the system remotely.
Codename: Arcturus
At Borg Tower, Sensei Wu and Garmadon were searching all of the Tower's files for Project: Arcturus, only to find nothing about it whatsoever. As a result, all they did was remember the battle with a serpentine of the same name from a long time ago.
The Void
During the Ninjas' mission to stop the Nindroids from getting the Golden Weapons, the tower was used as the base of operations until the Nindroids took control forcing the team to abandon the base and get to Garmadon's Monastery.
The Titanium Ninja
The mission for the nindroids was completed for them and The Overlord transformed into the Golden Master. The nindroids used Borg Tower's Factory to create the mech for the Overlord. After the mech was completed and the events of the nindroid assault, Borg Tower was reclaimed to Cyrus Borg.
The Invitation
Lloyd runs a simulation to try and obtain a replica of the Golden Armor within Borg's office.
The Mask of Deception
Mr. E and some other members of the Sons of Garmadon infiltrate Borg Tower to steal the Oni Mask of Vengeance, which was hidden in a secret compartment.

ACTOM and Alstom Agreement
ACTOM, the largest electrical engineering group in Southern Africa, and Alstom Grid, world-leading provider of engineered solutions and products for smart and conventional power grids, signed a three-year transmission technologies cooperation agreement in Johannesburg on April 23.
The agreement, effective until April 2015, was signed by Jack Rowan, Chairman of Transmission & Distribution at ACTOM, and Eric Boulot, Alstom Grid's Commercial Vice-President for Southern Europe and Africa.
Said Rowan: "The agreement represents the continuation of a longstanding mutually beneficial cooperative association between the two groups. ACTOM's focus has always been on maximising local content and we manufacture a number of products under licence to our international partners wherever this proves practicable, in addition to developing and manufacturing products of our own."
Boulot stated: "Alstom and ACTOM are partners in a number of activities such as signalling, boiler services and Metro coaches in the region and this agreement will reinforce the partnership and cooperation between the two groups. The renewal of the agreement has been a perfect time to review our operations together and to energise our approach to the market. We share a clear ambition to be at customers' side when they engage in challenging programmes such as implementing smart grid solutions to manage newly installed renewable power generation and to manage the transmission network more efficiently."
The agreement encompasses:
• A technology agreement that gives ACTOM access to Alstom Grid's world-class transmission technologies, equipment and systems.
• A manufacturing agreement enabling ACTOM to manufacture specific Alstom Grid products, sub-assemblies and components under licence.
• A representation agreement giving ACTOM exclusive representation rights to promote, sell and support Alstom Grid products in the Southern African region.
The agreement extends an existing partnership that spans nearly half a century and formalises an interim arrangement between the two parties that has been in effect since Areva, the international nuclear power specialist company and ACTOM's former international principal and technology partner for transmission and distribution technology and equipment, sold its global transmission interests to Alstom Grid and distribution interests to Schneider Electric in 2010.
The ACTOM/Alstom Grid agreement is backdated to mid-2012, when the former agreement expired. The equivalent technology and representation agreement for distribution equipment and systems between ACTOM and Schneider Electric was finalised in September 2012.
The ACTOM business units that benefit directly from Alstom Grid's state-of-the-art technologies and in turn represent it and its products in the local market are ACTOM High Voltage Equipment, ACTOM Power Transformers, ACTOM Protection & Control and ACTOM Power Systems.
"ACTOM High Voltage Equipment, for instance, offers a mix of locally developed and manufactured products along with Alstom Grid products manufactured under licence as well as fully imported products. The company in partnership with Alstom Grid currently holds substantial Eskom frame contracts for high voltage circuit breakers and isolators and has previously also secured frame contracts for instrument transformers," Rowan commented.
"ACTOM Protection & Control frequently works in close co-operation with Alstom Grid in providing some of the most sophisticated solutions available worldwide, such as the transmission energy management system for Eskom's National Control Centre and the Wide Area Monitoring System (WAMS) solution for Eskom."
ACTOM also provides a range of support services for the large installed base of products Alstom has supplied into the Southern African market over many years.
ACTOM (Pty) Ltd is the largest manufacturer, solution provider, repairer and distributor of electro-mechanical equipment in Africa, employing about 7 500 people with an annual order intake in excess of R7.5bn. It is a black empowered company with 42 operating units, 43 production, service and repair facilities, and 36 distribution outlets throughout Southern Africa.
ACTOM holds numerous technology, distribution and value added reseller agreements with various partners, both locally and internationally. www.actom.co.za

Here is a neat old noisemaker for the Valentine or toy collector. Marked Germany on the base of the handle, this has a clangor on the front and back which hits the tin to make noise as it is shaken. The tin lithography features a person holding a big red heart. Probably dates to the early 1900s and shows some wear to areas of the lithography as well as darkening to the tin in back due to age. Still a rare old toy related to Valentines Day!

Legal Drug Abuse and Addiction In Teens
Legal drug abuse and addiction may not be something most parents think about according to a new poll by C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. Legal drug abuse, often cited as prescription drug abuse, is the deliberate misuse of a prescribed medication. For many teens, that medication is Adderall or Ritalin, which are widely prescribed as study drugs or medications to combat Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
In the poll, just one percent of parents said their children had taken drugs such as Adderall or Ritalin without a prescription. However, in 2012, 10 percent of high school sophomores and 12 percent of high school seniors said they had used the drugs without a medical prescription.
The Danger of Legal Drug Abuse and Addiction
Many parents and teens are ignorant of the dangers of legal drug abuse and addiction. In fact, many teens and their parents view drugs like Adderall or Ritalin as safe. This attitude exists for prescription pain killers like Vicotin and Oxycodone, which are also physician prescribed. Like their painkiller counterparts, Ritalin and Adderall are potent and significantly strong medications which alter specific receptors in the brain. Teens often take these drugs as stimulants to help them focus on homework or study for a test.
Like prescription painkillers, these drugs can be addictive and potentially harmful to a teen's development. Legal drug abuse and addiction continue to rise in the United States despite intense law enforcement efforts and government regulations reducing the availability of commonly abused prescription drugs.
The Parental Disconnect
It can be hard to recognize the signs of drug abuse and addiction in your teen, especially if your teen is performing well in school and not showing any signs of difficulty in his or her social life. Unlike street drugs like heroin or cocaine, a teen can more easily hide prescription drug abuse and may even be able to purchase the drugs at school through a friend. It can be difficult for a parent to identify the misuse of these drugs, as the increased focus might actually improve a student's performance at school. While the benefits may seem great in the short term, taking unnecessary medication can be dangerous and the side effects are often unpredictable.
Unfortunately, most parents fail to ask questions the questions that can help a teen open up about drug use or abuse. According to the study, 95% of parents said their teens had never abused these drugs, while more than 10 percent of teens indicate that they had. The disconnect often comes because neither teens nor their parents think of prescription drug misuse as legal drug abuse and addiction. However, more and more teens are checking into rehab facilities to combat the side effects of their drug abuse and addiction habits.
What Can Parents Do?
Many schools are starting to recognize the need for increased communication and education about the misuse of these prescription drugs. Drug abuse and addiction materials should include information on prescription drugs like Ritalin, Adderall and Ambien, which are common in a school setting, in addition to street drugs like cocaine and heroin. Parents should speak openly with their teens about legal drug abuse and addiction problems in their community and create a non-judgemental space for teens to discuss what they see in their school.

Camping is a marvellous and magical time where you and the friends can enjoy the great outdoors. The benefits include time away from the busyness of cities for the slower pace of life for a weekend http://buckeye4locals.com, experiencing the simple pleasures in your life. To make best use of your next camping trip, please read on to the following paragraphs.
Although it is really not a crucial part of your back country camping gear, a machete is something you may consider packing dependant upon where you are going. This is a very versatile tool within the wilderness. You may cut a trail, hack bamboo and vines for shelter, cut coconuts for water, chop firewood, and in many cases apply it as protection against wild animals.
Always take more water than you imagine you will use when you are on the camping trip. Often times, people forget exactly how much water is required. It is actually employed for drinking, washing dishes and hands, cooking and even brushing your teeth. Water will not be something you would like to do without.
If you're a new comer to camping, you're likely to desire to arrive early towards the campground. The reason for this really is you will certainly be a new comer to the campground site and rules, and this will slow you down. You don't wish to be stuck putting together camp at night, so just arrive a bit sooner than you usually would.
Practice makes perfect when pitching a tent. Take time to placed the tent up before leaving for your trip. This lets you build up your proficiency at erecting the tent, and also will help locate any problems with the tent in the event you should exchange it for the better option.
Ask a park ranger or a tour guide to let you know about every one of the places to look into while you are camping. This is an excellent idea so you know you will get the most out of your camping experience, you don't would like to take a camping trip and miss out on an entertaining experience.
Ensure you notice the campground rules and regulations. The most significant concerns is trash and also noisiness in a campsite. People often think that people can't hear them, but noise travels far in a campsite. It is extremely challenging to possess privacy, specially when people are supposed to be observing quiet hours.
When you are camping as well as the weather is starting to rise significantly, tale the coolers that you have along and place them somewhere from the shade. It will help to ensure they are covered with some kind of tarp. This may retain the temperature in the cooler from rising excessive.
Many people are deterred from camping because they have to sleep on the floor, but you do not have to be uncomfortable when you are camping. Visit the regional pharmacy and acquire some inexpensive pool floats. These are significantly more comfortable compared to ground to get to sleep on, and definately will make you stay high and dry too.
When you are camping, you must never eat anything if you do not are absolutely certain of what exactly it is. There is certainly nothing worse than a strong case of stomach problems when you are far away from both medical assistance plus a toilet. It is recommended to simply eat food which you bring.
Never hike alone. It may sound juvenile, but always employ the buddy system. It could be simple to go missing or turned around by nature. You might slip and hurt yourself. In instances such as these, it is advisable to have someone along. Even if you have your cellphone handy, you may find it doesn't get reception in the woods.
Learn how to pitch your tent before hand. First-time tent pitching might take time, and you could get frustrated when your very first time is at the actual campsite. In the event you practice achieving this ahead of time, it will likely be a breeze to complete once you get to your destination.
Ensure you go with a sleeping bag that is certainly appropriate for where you will certainly be camping. Sleeping bags manufactured from lightweight material are optimal for warmer climates. By contrast, you need to buy a heavy sleeping bag if you are planning to camp in a cold area. Make sure your sleeping bag fits you well, hugs the body and allows you to retain heat.
Utilize an old shower curtain being a camping tarp. The next time you switch from the shower curtain, save the previous one and it can be used whenever you go camping. Tarps, or old shower curtains can be used for a lot of things. It is possible to place it beneath your tent or utilize it to maintain you dry should it rain.
Put all your food and toiletries away during the night. Should you be camping where you are parked, store them in a locked vehicle. Otherwise, gather all this up in the bag and hand it several dozen feet off the ground and from your tent. Animals might want to investigate the scents through the night, and you may not would like them bothering either the bag or even your campsite.
If you are considering camping however are uncertain should it be the correct choice for you, you may want to start out with something a little easier, like remaining in a cabin or renting an RV for the weekend. If you enjoy nature using this convenience, then it can be time and energy to the game to a tent.
It's a good idea to maintain hygiene when camping. Things like washcloths, sponges, bowls, biodegradable soaps, toothbrushes, toothpaste, baking soda, floss, and clean water can help you stay clean on your trip. You can also use hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol, and cotton balls on non-sensitive areas. Don't use anything with fragrances given that they can attract bugs.

IBM, Bluewolf launch new Salesforce practice in India, to train 500 staff
Global technology giant IBM today announced the launch of a new practice to drive digital transformation and customer experience locally in India with global CRM company Salesforce, through their Salesforce consulting arm Bluewolf.

No Related Stories Found
As part of this initiative, IBM is training 500 employees in the Bluewolf Salesforce methodology at their Bengaluru premises. IBM had acquired Bluewolf, a global Salesforce partner company, in 2016.
"Giving developers the ability to integrate IBM Watson services into Salesforce will combine insights from unstructured data inside or outside an enterprise and customer data delivered by Salesforce Einstein to enable smarter, faster decisions across sales, service, marketing, commerce and more," said Lula Mohanty, Managing Partner, GBS, IBM.
Both Watson and Einstein are proprietary artificial intelligence products of IBM and Salesforce respectively.
The dedicated practice will leverage Bluewolf's deep expertise and delivery capabilities in Salesforce, augmented intelligence (AI), and innovation strategy, combined with IBM's leadership in cognitive and design-thinking, to help clients - of any industry - connect customer experience to value.
According to Bluewolf's Annual State of Salesforce report, 88 percent of IT professionals say the top two reasons their organization use Salesforce is for customer acquisition and retention, above all other business goals. The increasing market demand for Salesforce demonstrates an equally compelling need for Bluewolf; as one of the platform's longest-standing Global Strategic Consulting Partners, with the scale and reach of IBM.
"Globally we have over 14,000 people trained on Bluewolf. In Bengaluru, we have a Garage dedicated to this where about 500 people are being trained currently and the aspirations are to scale up to 1,000 people," added Mohanty.
The Garage focuses on training employees in Bluewolf methodology and practices, while IBM has Garages dedicated to different partner environments and segments, sandboxes, and cloud platforms.
IBM is will focus on identifying SMEs and e-commerce sectors for these products while strongly focusing the existing customer base from telecom utilities and financial services.
IBM is already implementing Salesforce solution for up to 200 clients across the country. "As we start to build these Garages, they are meant for businesses, individual developers and solution players to play with what (services) we have got to offer," added Mohanty.
"As we enter the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we will continue to empower companies of all sizes and industries to redefine customer experiences putting AI to use inside their organizations, in a future where AI will reshape every aspect of work making smarter decisions faster than ever before," said Sunil Jose, SVP and Country Leader, Salesforce India.
Last year, IBM and Salesforce announced a global strategic solution to deliver joint solutions designed to leverage artificial intelligence.

|[PATCH] more pool optimizations for worker MPM
|Sat, 01 Dec 2001 10:06:38 GMT
I enhanced my worker MPM and apr_pool_t optimization patch by adding "recycling" of transaction pools so that we can avoid the mutex overhead associated with destroying pools. With this patch, the fdqueue pop function allows a worker thread to return its previous ptrans pool to the listener thread. The fdqueue object caches the recycled pools internally and returns them to the listener, one at a time, when the listener pushes the next connection onto the queue. The motivation for exchanging recycled pools as a side-effect of the fdqueue push and pop operations is that we get to take advantage of the mutex locking that's done there already, so no extra locking is needed. --Brian

The History
We have availability of ten comfortable double rooms and we offer B&B service: overnight stay and breakfast at buffet with our home-made cakes, organic jams, yoghurt, bread, ham, cheese....
Our area offers many possibilities to taste and discover our traditional dishes and food (fish and meat), in the surrounding villages you can participate at feasts and events.
You reach the sea in 5 minutes by car either to the north or to the south(about 7 miles). To the north there is the Maremma Natural Park's beach and at the same distance southly you find the long sand beaches that lead to the Argentario promontory (where rock and stone beaches begin). A cycling track starts from Alberese (where it is possible to rent bikes in 3 different points) and leads to Marina di Alberese inside the Natural Park. We are provided of electric bikes that you can rent on request.
In Alberese town there are also some points for horse-riding either for experts or beginners: 2 hours for beginners inside the Park and 4 hours for the experts with the Maremman "butteri", typical cow-boys…an unforgettable experience!
We are the first country farm with ECOLABEL certification, in 2005 we were awarded by the Tuscan and Lombardia Regions for eco-efficient parameters. Referring to our idea to promote a sustainable and eco-efficient turistic development of our territory, recently we built a mini wind-system concerning the plant of two wind blades of 12 mt. height that produce clean electricity for the consumption in our farm. In addition, we built a photovoltaic panel and a solar thermic panel that is for the heating of the water in our rooms for the consumption of our guests. Finally, we received the first "Prize for good practices for renewable energies" in the International festival of Ecology and Solidarity "Festambiente" organized by Legambiente "Festambiente" (Rispescia – August 2006) and a mention as finalist in the ""Royal Accomodation Award for Sustainable Tourism in Europe 2006"", organized by the Danish and Spanish Royal Crowns (Copenhagen, November 2006).

From Ezra Klein writing at Vox:
Fox News's primetime Republican debate began with an attempt to cow Donald Trump. Would he pledge to forego a third-party candidacy and endorse the eventual Republican nominee?
He would not.
Did he understand the question? Did he realize that would probably guarantee that Hillary Clinton won the White House?
He did. The crowd cheered.
Then it was Megyn Kelly's turn. She read him a litany of horrible terms he's used to describe women. He's called them "fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals."
Trump's response? He only said that about Rosie O'Donnell. The crowd cheered. (Trump was lying, by the way.)
Kelly tried again. She referenced the time Trump told a woman, on national television, "It must be a pretty picture. You dropping to your knees."
"I don't frankly have time for total political correctness," Trump told Kelly. "And to be honest with you, this country doesn't either." The crowd roared.
This is Donald Trump's secret, his strategy, his power. Trump is a honey badger. He just doesn't fucking care. He will never, ever give an inch. Better to be a monster than a wuss.

To understand how functions work, it's helpful to think of them as real-time manipulators of data. I say real-time because the manipulation occurs at the moment a user views a template page including your expertly coded function.
Functions use the format SomeFunction(SomeVariable), where the variable you want to manipulate is placed between the parentheses. When you use functions within <CFOUTPUT> tags, you enclose the entire function string in hash marks (rather than enclosing the variable), like this:

Recent research from the Association of Investment Companies suggests that 78% of investors plan to make use of their ISA allowance this year. 40% plan to use only the shares element , representing a 1% rise since last year, while just over a quarter plan to use both their cash ISA and investment ISA allowance, again representing a 1% increase on the previous year. more
The clock is ticking until the annual ISA deadline on 5th April - so if you've not used your ISA allowance this year, now is definitely the time to start. more
A recent survey conducted by NS&I indicates that the demographic of ISA savers has undergone quite a few changes in recent years. A survey of over 1,200 UK adults revealed some interesting insights into the behavior of savers in the past few years. more
The latest research released by NS&I suggests that there has been an increase in the number of people who'll be making use of their annual ISA allowance. more
Henderson Global Investors is to buy rival fund manager Gartmore in a £335.3m deal.
The acquisition is subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, but both firms' boards are recommending the offer of two shares in Henderson Group for every three shares in Gartmore.
In a statement to the stock exchange, Henderson said Gartmore shareholders would receive 0.6667 of a new Henderson share for every Gartmore share.
Chief executive of Henderson Group – parent company of Henderson Global Investors – Andrew Formica, said: "The acquisition of Gartmore is a great opportunity for Henderson.
"Gartmore has a highly complementary strategy and stable of products to that of Henderson. Its recent travails should not overshadow the fact that Gartmore is one of the best known managers in UK fund management and its assets are performing well."
Formica said bringing across fund managers and integrating the business onto the same platform would enhance margins, while expanding the product range on offer.
Henderson said a large number of Gartmore fund managers had already agreed to join the company, covering 84 per cent of assets under management. Managers agreeing to move to Henderson include Chris Burvill, manager of the Gartmore Cautious Managed Fund and John Bennett, European equities manager.
The acquisition will mean the combined group has £78billion assets under management.
In a statement, Henderson Group said the proposal would allow investors and advisers to refocus on the quality of the investment teams at Gartmore, while the successful integration of New Star after it was taken over by Henderson should provide comfort to investors that Henderson was capable of this type of integration.
The proposal is to complete the deal within three months, subject to approvals and certain conditions. In the summer, client administration and brand integration will take place.
After listing on the London Stock Exchange at the beginning of 2010, shares in Gartmore fell significantly following the departure of leading fund managers. This included in March 2010 the suspension and later resignation of Guillame Rambourg, involved in managing Gartmore's hedge fund business. Rambourg resigned to focus on a Financial Services Authority (FSA) investigation into whether he breached trading rules.

Lou Lou & Pea and the Mural MysteryBook - 2016
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Lou Lou and Pea are a best friend duo known for their PSPP (Post-School-Pre-Parents) tea parties. While Peacock Pearl loves all things fashion and Lou Lou Bombay loves gardening, they both love their vibrant neighborhood , El Corazón, and its many murals. All is well in their community until several fiascoes befall the girls, their neighbors, and their friends. Lou Lou and Pea discover that the disasters are being documented in the murals around town and it seems they are the only ones to have noticed! It's up to Lou Lou and Pea to discover the culprit making trouble for the people of El Corazón and find the artist that is changing the murals.
This is a delightful read for anyone that enjoys a book about chummy friends in a diverse setting, tea parties, fashion, and gardening. Bonus: the book also includes a recipe for Pan de Muerto, instructions on how to make a flower crown, and a glossary of words to know in Spanish.

WASHINGTON (AP) - It's no secret that Rudy Giuliani hasn't been on the best of terms with his son and daughter. And it now appears that those differences may be political, as well as personal.
According to her Facebook profile, Giuliani's 17-year-old daughter, Caroline, is a Barack Obama supporter. Her profile said she belonged to Obama's Facebook group. But she left that group this morning, after the online magazine Slate started looking into it.
The teen-ager is Giuliani's daughter with his second wife, Donna Hanover. She'll attend Harvard this fall. On her profile, which uses a slightly different last name, she described herself as having liberal political views.
Her 21-year-old brother, Andrew, has said his relationship with his father became distance after the parents' messy divorce and his father's marriage to Judith Nathan.
The New York Daily News reported that Giuliani attended his daughter's graduation in May -- sitting in the last row, and leaving without speaking to her.

What's Up at Throop Learning Garden?
It has been a busy summer at Throop Learning Garden. Many thanks to all who have volunteered their energies and insights.
This summer George Patton and our crew built a hugelkultur/ waffle garden behind the Los Robles bus stop. We planted a Three Sisters-style garden, based on corn, beans, and squash. We also added peppers, sunflowers, pumpkins, tomatoes, and okra.
The corn is 7' tall, and made an ample feast for the raccoons that live in the storm drain across the street. They did not read the sign admonishing to pick only one and leave some for others. Fortunately, we are enjoying abundant harvests of the other crops. The pumpkins are ripening and should be harvestable next week.
We've also added a biodynamic compost stack, installed during the workshop with George Patton and Sheryl Spangler at the end of July.
Our olives are coming ripe about a month ahead of schedule. Our tree, on the Del Mar yard, is heavily laden with fruit. We plan to do an initial harvest this coming Wednesday, September 14, around 10 a.m. We also plan to workshop olive brining, at a date to be determined.
We are also looking into a workshop on kombucha and kimchi. Again, dates to be determined.
And last, but not least, we are developing a half hour earth-based garden meditation at Throop on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. beginning Sunday, September 25. The meditation will be non-denominational, but structured for a short, seated time, then a walking meditation. The focus will be deepening our connection to the earth.

Family Hotel Review: JW Marriott Resort & Spa, Phuket
Positioned on Mai Khao beach overlooking the Andaman sea is this wonderful family-friendly resort that's widely considered to be one of the best in Phuket.
Best For: Recharging parental batteries and wearing kids out; kids of all ages.
Reviewed by: Victoria Westmacott
Why You'll Love It
Positioned on Mai Khao beach overlooking the Andaman sea is this wonderful family-friendly resort that's widely considered to be one of the best in Phuket. Spread over 27 acres of landscaped gardens, the 5 star JW Marriott offers 265 rooms and suites divided between North and South 'wings' with the reception, main pool, kids' club and a handful of restaurants and bars in the middle. The clever layout – and huge grounds – means that even when we visited during the high season the resort never felt busy.
What we really love about this hotel is just how much there is do for everyone. There are three swimming pools; the main pool (a lap pool) that's flanked by a diving pool and the kids' pool, the North pool that's reserved for guests over 16years old and the South pool that holds a fantastic bar – you have to swim under a waterfall to reach it. There are six restaurants, a Thai cooking school, five bars and an award-winning spa that is truly fantastic. We highly recommend their Thai massage!
Sporting options include yoga, tennis, beach volleyball and Thai boxing. Water sports are available from November to April and the hotel can help arrange myriad excursions from scuba diving and elephant treks in the jungle to game fishing and boat trips to explore the local islands. Perhaps best of all, however, is the beach. This 17km stretch of national park is devoid of restaurants, cafés or any of the other development so common along the coastline meaning that all you have to do is enjoy the beautiful sandy shores.
Why The Kids Will Love It
What is there for kids not to love? The JW Marriott has seemingly thought of everything to keep kids of all ages happy. For little children there's a wonderful kids' swimming pool that comes with a water slide, bubble lake and water jets. Kids under 12 years can spend their days in the kids' club (open 9am – 8pm) where activities include treasure hunts, archaeology digs, fishing, arts and crafts, hair beading, pool games and much, much more.
Kids can swing through the air with the greatest of ease at circus school and children as young as eight can learn to scuba dive in the hotel swimming pool. Bicycles are available to borrow (mountain bikes come with kid seats big enough for 5 year olds) and helmets are provided for children and adults. Tennis courts, boogies boards, sea kayaks, snorkels and more are all available to use.
A friendly baby elephant* wanders the hotel grounds and kids usually delight in helping to feed and bathe him. One of our favourite things about the hotel, however, is the attention to detail. Every restaurant has a kids' menu offering healthy options as well as the standard chicken nuggets and fries. Our other stand out moment was at check out when housekeeping staff gave each of our children a little toy turtle as a goodbye gift.
One word of caution, depending on what time of year you visit the currents can be strong making the sea unsuitable for novice swimmers (there are no lifeguards on duty).
Hotel Details
The JW Marriott has 252 Rooms and 13 Suites divided into seven categories. All rooms enjoy polished wood floors, ridiculously comfortable beds decorated in white linens and colourful silks and enormous bathrooms with large tubs. A sliding window partition separates the bathrooms and bedrooms.

Ocean Front Pool: Located near the north pool is this Royal Suite that comes with two bedrooms, three bathrooms and its own swimming pool. One bedroom boasts a king size bed and the second bedroom is furnished with two double beds. An additional rollaway bed and baby cot are permitted.
Best for Families: All rooms can accommodate one extra bed and a baby cot although depending on the ages of the children an additional rollaway bed may be accommodated. All rooms boast a corner window with a couple of futon cushions, this area can double up as a sleeping area for little kids. The suites, in particular the Ocean Front Family Pool, work very well for families. Both the Ocean Front Family Pool and Ocean Front Pool can sleep six people.
There are 30 sets of inter-connecting rooms are available in the Deluxe Garden and Deluxe Terrace categories. Baby cots are complimentary and available upon request.
There's no chance of anyone going hungry here as the JW Marriott boasts no fewer than six restaurants and five bars. Every restaurant specialises in a different cuisine and they all offer a range of light, healthy meals as well.
Choose from the following restaurants:
Marriot Café: This is the all-day dining restaurant and serves international cuisine. The daily breakfast buffet is served here and includes Thai and Japanese specialities in addition to eggs, toast, fruit and more.
Ginja Taste: Open for dinner only is the Marriott's Thai restaurant boasting local specialities and tried-and-tested favourites including Pad Thai and curries.
Cucina: Voted best Italian food in Asia by Condé Nast Traveller is the Marriott's answer to La Dolce Vita. It's open for dinner only but offers pizza delivery during the day. The pizzas and pastas are excellent.
Andaman Grill: One of our favourites when we visited is the hotel's steak and seafood restaurant. Enjoy dinner, including incredible tuna steaks, and the views over the Andaman Sea.
Kabuki: Another favourite during our time here, this Japanese restaurant is located next to the Siam Deli. The Teppanyaki is excellent and they provide cute aprons for kids too. Open for dinner.
Siam Deli: Serving gourmet sandwiches (on freshly baked breads), pastries and light snacks this deli is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Picnic hampers, including a mat and blanket, are available for private dining. Smoothies and ice creams are also available – great for kids!

For Kids: The JW Marriott excels in looking after kids and every restaurant boasts a dedicated kids' menu that offers healthy alternatives in addition to the usual chicken nuggets and chips. The quality is also excellent with not a soggy vegetable or over-cooked sausage in sight! All the kids' menus double up as activity sheets and younger children are given Hello Kitty or Disney-themed cups and cutlery as well as aprons and bibs. We were very impressed! Highchairs are available.
Activities for Parents: Swimming pool, golf courses, amazing Mandara Spa or beachside massage, Thai cooking, language and dancing classes, organised activities including Thai boxing, batik painting, Thai leaf origami and fruit carving. Beach volleyball, tennis, mountain bikes, Pilates' lessons, meditation sessions, excursions including speedboat trips to local islands and rock climbing in Krabi.

Financial Highlights:
Q2 2017 Operating and financial results
During the quarter, a higher feed grade resulted in more ounces sold and a reduction in operating costs, compared to the same quarter in 2015. The mine generated an operating income of $3.3 million which were reinvested into the exploration on the Bachelor, Moroy, and Barry properties.
Outlook for the coming quarters
Metanor raised its production guidance for the year to a range of 30,000-36,000 ounces of gold from 28,000-33,000. Management anticipates that the feed grade for the upcoming quarter will be similar to that of Q2 2017.
The company plans to publish a resource and reserve update for the Bachelor mine within the current quarter, ending March 31, 2017. Meanwhile, an underground drill program will continue over the coming months in order to test additional targets outside of the soon-to-be reported reserve update.
At the Barry property, Metanor continues drilling within the Barry open pit in order to increase mineral resources and to convert inferred resources into the indicated category. The Barry open pit remains open in all directions, demonstrating potential to increase in size.

The Fulbright Legacy
J. William Fulbright was born in Missouri in 1905. He was educated at the University of Arkansas and at Oxford University, where, as a Rhodes Scholar, he earned an M.A. degree.
Fulbright was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1944 and served there from 1945 through 1974. In 1949 he became a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and from 1959 to 1974 he was its chairman, the longest serving chairman of that committee in history. Fulbright became one of the most influential and best-known members of the Senate. In 1963 Walter Lippman said, "The role he plays in Washington is indispensable. There is no one else who is so powerful and also so wise?" Today he is best remembered for the legislation establishing the Fulbright Program, which passed without debate in 1946. The first participants traveled in 1948. Since then more than 310,000 "Fulbrighters" have participated in the program.
"Of all of the joint ventures in which we might engage, Fulbright later said of the program,"the most productive is educational exchange Educational exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of communication can, to the humanizing of international relations."
The Mandate
The Binational Fulbright Commission in Egypt was established in 1949, and is the oldest and largest Fulbright program in the Arab world. It was created through a protocol between the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the U.S. State Department. Governed by eight Directors of its Board, there are four Egyptian and four American Board members. Since 1949 nearly 7,000 scholars have been American Fulbrighters in Egypt or Egyptian Fulbrighters in the United States. The Commission's mandate is to cultivate mutual understanding through educational exchange. We do so, one Fulbrighter at a time, so that every Fulbrighter is better prepared to pursue what Senator J. William Fulbright called the "essence of intercultural education: empathy, the ability to see the world as others see it, and to allow for the possibility that others may see something we have failed to see…."

The excellent (and must-read) ClimateProgress has a terrific debunking of the "Hummer has a lower lifecycle cost than a Prius" BS. My favorite part:
Their website says the report ?does not include issues of gigajuelles [sic!], kW hours or other unfriendly (to consumers) terms. Perhaps, in time, we will release our data in such technical terms. First, however, we will only look at the energy consumption cost.?
Wouldn?t want to confuse consumers with unfriendly technical stuff such as kilowatt-hours like those annoying electric utilities do every month. No. Let?s put everything in dollar terms so no one can reproduce our results. When you misspell gigajoules on your website ? and have for a long time (try googling ?gigajuelles?), you aren?t the most technical bunch.
gigajuelles? Seriously? Man, as a trained Electrical Engineer, that cracks my shit up.
