An ancient settlement of the Maya Xunantunich Xunantunich or, as we call it, is located a few miles from the Western border of Belize.
The name "Xunantunich" means "Stone maiden" and is associated with an ancient legend. It is said that when the city only began in the 600th year, in the jungle mystically appeared the image of "the virgin", the solution in the walls just laid down the pyramid El Castillo.

We found Bradford Square Apartments for her, and she's doing fine there. You have to be low income to get in there so the rent cost is really inexpensive. The place is well taken care of. It's like living in an apartment complex; there's nothing there. You just pay your rent and stay in the apartment. It's a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment. You have to get your own food. They're very nice; they all get along really well and check up on the other residents.

On my first day back on the job with my former employer, I sat through my second Customer Service presentation. Which means I sat through my second viewing of Bob Farrell's video and presentation titled "Give Them the Pickle."
Among other business ventures, Bob has launched several different restaurant chains. Back when Bob was just starting out, he got a letter from a disgruntled customer who explained that on his most recent visit to Bob's restaurant, the waitress informed him that she'd be happy to bring him his requested pickle . . . for 75 cents. Pay for the pickle? That was a first. And consequently the customer informed Bob that he would never return to Bob's restaurant again. Ouch!
Obviously a smart man, Bob recognized that he gained far more than he lost when his employees gave out pickles as requested. He told his employees, "Give them the pickle." That line became his mantra and the basis for his successful career as well as his "Give 'em the pickle" presentations.
The first time I watched Bob's presentation some nine years ago, I considered its meaning in relationship to the people I serve at work. Although I had similar thoughts this time around, in as much as my son and I recently finished our transcontinental Run For a GMO Free USA, I couldn't help but also apply Bob's solid customer service principles to the GMO industry—an industry that includes the White House, Congress, regulatory agencies, universities, The Grocery Manufacturers Association, chemical companies such as Monsanto, Dow, and Dupont Pioneer, the junk food and soda industry such as Mars, Pepsico, and Coca Cola, grocery stores, farmers, and consumers.
Bob Farrell is one of many good spokespersons for the customer service industry. The Grocery Manufactures Association is one of many giant organizations representing the customer servitude industry, an industry that is so large and so powerful that it has, thus far, successfully controlled government policy at the top while snubbing consumer preference on the bottom. In contrast to Mr. Farrell's Give-'Em-The-Pickle business model, the GMA makes its money by routinely giving consumers the finger.
In Bob's world, the customer is king and boss. The customer pays Bob's mortgage, his kids' educations, vacations, etc. In the GMA's world, the industry itself is boss, king, and lord over mindless hordes of hungry consumers. It maintains sufficient control of the food supply that it leaves Americans with little if any choice at all at the grocery store.
The GMA represents, protects, and promotes some of the biggest players in the GMO industry including of course Monsanto, one of the most hated companies in the history of the world. The successful introduction of GMOs into the food supply provides proof of the monopolistic power of the GMA over America's food policies. Consider this: No one has ever gone to the grocery store to intentionally buy genetically modified organisms or products containing GMOs. In other words, there is no consumer market for GMOs. None. Zip. Nada. Not only is there no consumer market, millions of Americans want GMOs banned, and if not banned, they want them at least labeled so they can readily and easily avoid buying them.
Bob Farrell recognizes the wisdom in giving people a pickle, but he wouldn't dream of forcing his customers to buy and eat pickles filled with unnatural ingredients they neither need nor want. He wouldn't dream of overrunning D.C. with lobbyist to get those unnatural ingredients labeled as natural.
Not so with the Omnipotent GMA. The GMA insists on selling people GMO-contaminated products they neither need nor want, while also insisting that those unwanted and unneeded products remain unlabeled. And when millions of people rise up and declare that they don't want to eat those products, or at the very least, they want those products labeled, the GMA responds with multi million-dollar misinformation campaigns to scare people into voting against labeling. And when Vermont passed the first no-strings-attached GMO labeling bill, the GMA filed suit against the state of Vermont. There is something seriously wrong with an organization that wields sufficient power to thwart what little remains of American democracy!
The GMA claims it's committed to promoting the health of American consumers. Such claims would be laughable if they weren't also deadly. Regardless, it can claim to be interested in the health of American consumers until the genetically modified cows come home, but Americans are seeing through the lies. Ultimately, the hubris of an organization that profits by giving people what they don't want while refusing to give people what they do want, not to mention its obscene level of political influence, will some day prove to be its downfall.
We're tired of being lied to. We're tired of being told to shut up and eat our unlabeled, poison-saturated GMOs. We're tired of being told that we're not smart enough to understand the meaning of GMO labels. In spite of the GMA's money, influence, and lies, millions of people from California to New Jersey are standing together, demanding GMO labeling and in some cases demanding GMO Free zones. (We had the privilege of meeting hundreds of these people in our run across the USA.)
The GMA doesn't know it quite yet, but Bob Farrell is right. We customers are king. And it's long past time for us to banish the likes of the GMA and reclaim American democracy. A crucial first step to doing so is to label GMOs.
So when GMO labeling hits the ballot in your state, be prepared for the GMA to roll in with its propaganda and its lies. And remember that the GMA has only shown up to get you to shut up, fork over, and chow down. Don't do it. Raise your voice and cast your vote.
And when you ask for a pickle at one of Mr. Farrell's establishments, make sure it's free—GMA and GMO free.

Question about HP Computers & Internet
Posted by lilmex127 on
1) Open up the Norton's firewall settings,
disable the firewall altogether
2) Try your WEB browser to see if you get Google.
3) Disable the Windows Firewall, try again.
(Chose only one fire wall, never run both.)
4) Norton's is ****-ware that also scans your computer
for known pirated software, and uploads this information
to Symantec, who share this info with Microsoft
and others, including law enforcement.
This information was confirmed by a telephone call
to Symantec Canada tech support.
Their security software is also horribly slow and taxing,
(resource pig) so I would never use it.
I recommend AVG, with the WEB and link scanner
disabled (these also really slow down your machine).
For secure WEB browsing, I prefer Fire Fox, with
the Finjan and NoScript plug-ins.
5) Once all your security-ware is disabled, try the
Internet again.
6) If it still doesn't work, go to the DOS-like command prompt,
and type IPCONFIG /ALL
a) check you IP address, make sure it is NOT all zeros
b) type: IPCONFIG / release
IPCONFIG / renew
IPCONFIG / all
if you IP address is still zeros, your TCP/IP /network
stack is damaged, run the Windows network setup wizard!
if the IP address is OK,
type: ping www.google.com
to test the DNS settings.
if there is a problem, again run the network setup wiz
Once your TCP/IP stack is working,
and you can get to Google with your
WEB browser,
Re-enable your security ware one at a time
to see what is causing the problem.
If the firewall blocks your communications,
uninstall and re-install it, then let it auto-detect
all your applications during setup.
Once your WEB browser is working with the firewall,
you may also need to setup exceptions for each additional
internet applications, and for the TCP and/or UDP ports
that they need.
This is done within the firewall settings. You need to follow
the instructions that came with your firewall and your
It is also possible to setup the firewall to ASK your permission,
every time you run a new application, so that the firewall will
LEARN on the job.
Once again:
1) I don't like Norton's
2) The best firewall is a hardware residential router,
for about $50. E.g. Cisco, SMC ... etc.
The router let's you setup who and what can access the
Internet or the router itself, and block everything else.
It also allows you to share a single Internet connection
among several computers through network address
translation or NAT. Some even offer WEB site
blocking or parental controls.
The router will stop all hostile incoming traffic.
3) To stop outgoing (spyware) traffic from unsavory applications
or home-sick software like Microsoft & Adobe, install the
AVG anti-virus-firewall from Grisoft.
It is far superior.
Hope this helps,
Please rate my answers,

Tour the exteriors of all three homes set within Polymath Park and explore their interior spaces. Before or after your tour of Fallingwater, take a short scenic drive to Duncan House at Polymath Park. Learn how Wright's Duncan House was saved from demolition and relocated over 600 miles away from Illinois to its new site, including it's piece-by-piece reconstruction by the current owners. Next, Duncan House's shuttle will transport you to two houses designed by Wright apprentice, Peter Berndtson, houses, where you'll observe the influence of Wright's minimalist principles of architecture on Berndtson, as you visit the Balter and Blum houses. Frank Lloyd Wright's philosophy of organic architecture - uniting design with nature - formed the basis for over 1,100 designs during his career and extended on to his apprentices. Peter Berndtson, who studied with Wright at his Taliesin fellowship from 1938 to 1946, carried on those same principles in his houses for two Pennsylvania clients, and set them within an idyllic forest setting in southwest Pennsylvania. Reservations are strongly suggested to avoid disappointment in availability.
Children six-years-and older are welcome to enjoy the Polymath Park guided house tour with an adult. Children under six-years-old, including infants and toddlers, are not permitted on any house tours.
Photography is not permitted during the Polymath Park guided house tour. Please note that Polymath Park is a separate property from Fallingwater, located at 187 Evergreen Lane, Acme, PA 15610. Polymath Park is five miles from Exit 91 (Donegal) of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Describe the path to your current vocation.
I started playing the piano when I was nine years old, and starting working in church music when I was twelve. Music and Theology, specifically the study of worship and liturgy, have always been a passion of mine. I don't feel like I ever made a decision to become a church musician...it was just a natural gravitation.
When did you become a Lutheran?
I was raised Roman Catholic, and came to faith in a broad evangelical context. Toward the end of my undergraduate years, I began to see the shallowness in the American Evangelicalism and drifted toward confessional Reformed theology. Here, I found the answers to many of my questions and appreciated the structure, but struggled with some of the core tenets of the theology and the rejection of anything that "looked to Catholic". After a few years of research, I made my way to confessional Lutheranism where I found a true evangelical and biblical theology that values the traditions of the Church.
What do you love most about your job?
Serving as Cantor at Bethany allows me to continue to combine my interests in music and liturgy while serving the Lord and his church.
What was your longest or most favorite road trip?
During my undergraduate years, my friend and I drove from Chicago to Los Angeles without any breaks except for fuel and food. 33 hours! Great experience.
What are your hobbies?
I love to travel, spend time with my family, experience other cultures, and study liturgy and music :-)

One Direction HQ has been teasing a big announcement and revealing bits and pieces of the 'You & I' perfume packaging and advertising snippets, so we all knew it was coming, but we didn't expect to enjoy it so much.
It appears that 1D fragrance is very special, a hot commodity, and something valuable to be kept under lock and key, as it's placed upon a pedestal in a super secure saferoom with lasers and everything. That's when things get so Mission Impossible, we expected Tom Cruise to pop in for a sniff of the stuff.
First Liam drops down a hole from above, followed by the other guys - yes, Liam, Harry, Louis, Niall and Zayn are dressed all in black, dangling from above. They give each other a look and then the battle begins - they aren't working together, but each wants to get their hands on the coveted bottle. Niall even takes feet to the face, poor guy.
The One Direction 'You & I' fragrance is available for pre-order at Macys.com.

Still my favorite Maiden albums and one of the few records I never seem to tire of. Phantom of the Opera is the best rock track ever written and its change of pace and melody gets your head banging ever time. Production is no where near as crisp as the stuff farmed out these days but the raw sound kinda adds to the experience and I think many rock bands should take note of this fact.

Mohammed Ali meets the Beatles in 1964.
I mourn the passing of this shining example of Black manhood. A man who stood tall, never content to be just a segment of the larger minstrel show going on around him and other Black celebrities. Behind all of his 'clowning' was a man of deep convictions and great courage, who challenged the 'system', called it out to account for its endless contradictions. At the heart of the 1960s and the Civil Rights Movement, no one could ever say that he did not 'pull his weight'.
Muhammad Ali was MORE than a boxing champion & celebrity. He was an activist & ant-establishmentarian who wasn't afraid to go against the powers that be. Forget about political correctness, he said what had to be sad, forget about consequences. He was forthright. He was one of a kind.
I grew up in the 50's and 60's and back then I just wanted somebody to shut his bragging and outrageous mouth up. He really got my attention when he refused the draft. At first I thought he was very duplicitous in that while he made his living in a violent sport he eschewed war. I also questioned his faith in Islam as a shield against those who would be critical of him. As I grew older I realized what a truly gifted boxer he was and a master of his craft and most times he put his money where his mouth was. I loved that he hated Don King who wrecked so many young boxers careers. I also realized upon reading more about him that his resolve was genuine and that playing the "Bad Guy" was just a promoting ploy he masked his brilliance with. It was a shame he was silenced with Parkinson's Disease as when he was able to express himself through other means he was still as sharp as when he taunted all of us.
I grew up watching Muhammad Ali and loved and admired him. He was a man of principle, courageous to the end.
I was a fan of Ali because he could box fight. He was a true champion in the ring, he liked to brawl and he could take a beating as well as do the beating.
"Dance like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
I invested in Ali while he was alive, so I own him thanks for the security interests.
He will be remember!
Geez, you never pass up an opportunity to politicize, do you?
Actually its about character and the image of character , not politics !
Huh? I didn't bring politics into it, you did.
I am recognizing a champion boxing fighter that I admired.
Who made my life more secure because I made investments.
Trump and Ali were friends, all politics aside.
I just so happened to have photos of Trump and Ali on my computer.
I had a lot of photos of Ali on my old computer, and use to write about him on other sites, and it paid off well too. It wasn't political then either.
I am paying my respects! Trump, Obama and Clinton paid their respects to Ali, and many more political leaders have, its not about politics. He was respected for his boxing career, and he died.
ADDED: we can change our posts for up to four hours in the forums.
That is something that is very cool about HubPages Forums. Liberty!
I just realized this thread is in Politics and Social Issues!
I think someone does protest too much!
Truly lame. Truly.
Ali was friends with a lot of people, but you chose a picture of Trump. We're not stupid, colorfulone. Your attempt at claiming innocence is pathetic.
Wow, this post continues to grow long after I replied to it. Why do you do that? I know, you're frantically trying to justify your politicization of Ali's death. Sorry, we're too smart to fall for it.
Also a guy that legally got away with running from the military draft , white hundreds of thousands of other less fortunate , poorer kids , without celebrity-hood , served their country or left it for Canada .
................Yea, let's all idolize him , he's a hero ! Not.
Yeah, like Trump and George Bush II., despicable people who bought their way out. Mohammed paid a penalty for his stance and courage, so for once in your life, please put a sock in it, huh?
Who knows, you may have well been hiding behind your mother's skirts when your country called for your service?
I did my bit, so how about you?
Do you need to go to your safe space?
(Ali's big celebrity fight night was spent with a friend. Photo)
Even though Ali and Trump were good friends, Ali did speak out against Trump's temporary ban on Muslims. Maybe bias, but not racial.
No, do you? You must be feeling pretty sleazy right now.

Outgoing AANA President's Message
Dear Friends,
It has been a truly memorable couple of years for me and the entire AANA executive:
Dr. Gautam L Baruah – President
Mrs. Roopa Sharma – Vice-President
Mrs. Ranu Dutta – General Secretary
Dr. Deva Borah - Treasurer
Throughout our tenure, the guiding principles have been to maintain the lofty traditions of the past committees of bringing the expatriate Assamese community together through our Annual conventions, newsletters, directory and Luhitor Pora Mississipi. Our main focus was to streamline our activities and grow our organization so that AANA could undertake bigger projects in the future. Our achievements over the tenure spanning 2011 to 2013:
- Opening a new and vibrant website- www.AANAhome.org
- Boosting life membership significantly
- Convention guidelines – passed in the annual general body meeting (AGBM) in 2012 at Calgary
- Convention White paper- passed in AGBM in 2013 at Detroit
- Facilitating the conventions at Calgary, Detroit, and finalization of venue for Assam Convention in the Northeast in 2014.
We were particularly satisfied to have generated the Convention White Paper that encapsulates all the aspects of convention organization ranging from Hotel contracts, Budgets and Program content. It has several helpful guidelines, samples and templates. This document has received invaluable inputs from our community stalwarts and previous organizers. We thank them for their expertise and dedication. Due to the relatively small population of Assamese expatriates spread over vast distances, organizing the Assam Convention is a complex venture. We hope this will facilitate Conventions for future organizers. Although we lived apart from each other, there was a remarkable level of co-ordination and cohesion through our conference calls and AGBMs. This is what has made it possible for us to achieve so much in just two years.
As we pass the baton over to the next executive, I exhort you to join our organization. If you have a desire to contribute to our culture, champion worthy causes or want your voice to be heard, join us. Together we could work miracles. You may not need the community but the community needs you. The common refrain from the people from Assam is: "Please enlighten us on how you execute business, education, healthcare and projects". This is where the Assamese technocrats in USA and Canada could come up with guidelines and best practices in their respective areas. AANA provides the perfect platform for you to put together great ideas and make good things happen in Assam.
It has indeed been an honor to serve the community over the last two years. Hope to meet many of you in future conventions and elsewhere.
Best wishes and warm regards,
Dr. Gautam L Baruah
Outgoing President, AANA

"What kind of society isn't structured on greed? The problem of social organization is how to set up an arrangement under which greed will do the least harm; capitalism is that kind of a system"
Related quotes
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
"When the corporate interest of financial gain is allowed to influence the vital and all inclusive interest of the welfare of people and ideas, then being the slaves of a complete monetary system of economy is and always will be the hollow-hearted and inevitable outcome of our society."
"If, in the present chaotic and shameful struggle for existence, when organized society offers a premium on greed, cruelty, and deceit, men can be found who stand aloof and almost alone in their determination to work for good rather than gold, who suffer want and persecution rather than desert principle, who can bravely walk to the scaffold for the good they can do humanity, what may we expect from men when freed from the grinding necessity of selling the better part of themselves for bread?"

After six years of relatively little movement in terms of region configurations, many Athens-area teams will be on the prowl in new leagues and in higher classifications this fall.
And with new alignments often come new opponents.
North Oconee, which is rising from Region 8-AA to 8-AAA this year, leads the area in scheduling previously-untested foes this season with six. Madison County, which remained in Region 8-AAAA (although many of the Red Raiders' familiar opponents of the last several years moved to Region 8-AAAAA), is second with five new adversaries, and Athens Academy and East Jackson each have four never-befores.
Since veteran North Oconee head coach Terry Tuley plotted the Titans' schedule (which had spots for three non-region games), he said he's happy with it and added that until he was asked, he didn't realize 60 percent of North Oconee's games were against unfamiliar schools.
"Since I made up the schedule, I think it's awesome," Tuley quipped. "I've looked at the schedule a thousand times, but that part of it never entered my mind in terms of teams we've never played before."
Of course, one of those six games will feature a foe the Titans are well aware of. North Oconee and Oconee County will square off for the first time in a regular-season game (the two teams have had preseason scrimmages in recent years) on Nov. 2. Both teams are now in the same region, 8-AAA.
"It's time the two schools played," Tuley said. "And I think this is the best way to do it, within the region. So it works itself out on the schedule rather than you trying to finagle the best time to play each other. The region schedule dictates you play in Week 9 at North Oconee and we'll play them in Week Nine at Oconee County next year."
Oconee County head coach Mitch Olson, who said he was treating the North Oconee game as "our Week 9 opponent," said he's pleased with the new entries in the region and feels the field is a bit more level now.
"It's always kind of fun to play somebody different," said Olson, whose team will also play Lanier for the first time this year. "We got rid of some teams that shouldn't have been (in the region), so it makes it a little more compatible. I don't think there's anybody in the region now that we'll have a tough time competing with."
Warriors quarterback Connor White agrees with his coach that there's more balance in the region, which in many ways is a return to regions of previous years with Morgan County, Elbert County, Franklin County and Hart County included.
"Last year, we felt we were in seven of the games we played," said White. "We kind of had a feeling (last year) that we'd have a hard time against Stephens County and Gainesville — they were really good, especially Gainesville. This year, besides Elbert County, which we feel we have a great chance against, we're all about equal.
"Our region will be a lot tighter, but that's how we want it. There won't be any powerhouses, except maybe Elbert County, so we should be a lot more competitive this year than we've been in the past."
Clarke Central will face only one new opponent this year, but it's a good one. The Gladiators will open play on Aug. 31 with Marist coming to visit Billy Henderson Stadium. Between the two teams, Clarke Central and Marist have won nearly 1,000 games, have five state championships, 37 region titles and have 28 former players who spent time in the NFL.
Gladiators head coach Leroy Ryals said the match-up between the two traditional North Georgia powers came about rather simply.
"We needed a game and they needed a game and it went from there," Ryals said. "We called a lot of people to play and it was tough to get one. And a lot has to do with when you and (potential opponents) have open weeks. They fill up fast, because most teams play eight or nine region games."
Ryals added that meeting the War Eagles should pay dividends later in the season.
"This game means very good competition in a big-time atmosphere, and for your younger kids, the earlier they face that the better," he said. "And what they do offensively will help get us ready for some of the teams we'll play down the road in the region.
"Marist runs the option and runs it very well. Some of the Wing-T teams we play use the same principles. And defensively, they remind of a couple of teams in our region — how they play pass coverage and how they handle the run. We're looking for a good football game."

King Of The Roast
Posted by Dan Kuseta
02. Mar, 2011
Few things are more comforting that a roast dinner, and few meals are more practical than a sandwich. Little wonder then that King Of The Roast does a cracking trade by combining the two in one bulging package.
Over the last two decades owner (and resident King of the Roast) Tony Izer has been serving some of Melbourne's best sandwiches on an unassuming back street in Oakleigh South. Going through three-quarters of a tonne of meat every week (!) Tony reckons the secret is using top quality produce (Victorian lamb and pork, King Island Beef) and giving the meat the cooking time it needs to release it's natural flavours and juices.
When we visit there's a steady stream of truckies, grannies, office and factory workers lining up for their roast in a roll, and everyone seems to be a regular. Sadly the lamb has already sold out (apparently you have to get in early to nab some) but the bain marie filled with huge sides of pork, beef, roast veggies and the odd parma allays any fears we'll go hungry.
I choose the beef sandwich with all the trimmings ($8.00) and Tony sets to work filling my freshly-baked roll with a truck load of beef (so tender he doesn't need a carving knife), stuffing it to the gills with potatoes, carrots and onions before dousing it with home-made gravy. For good measure Tony chucks in a complimentary piece of crackling the size of a small book. It's the kind of meal you dream about making when you're a kid.
Biting into my behemoth is like a trip down memory lane. The meat is juicy and melt-in-your-mouth tender, the veggies have all mushed together and topped with the gravy it really tastes like I'm eating a roast dinner in a roll. Sort of like astronaut food, but better. Plus I'm pretty sure they never had crackling.
I finish my sandwich with no small sense of triumph and immediately want a nap. I don't know if could do this every day, but maybe every Sunday.

Find information about Tilton School campus life, and registering for departmental seminars and elective lectures. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Tilton School student life information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Tilton School.
Don't imagine that college is all about getting good grades and finding a job after graduation. A large part of the university growth experience is about participating in extracurricular activities such as student government, writing for the school newspaper, or joining one of the many student clubs on campus.
It isn't necessary to take a leadership position in a student organization on campus, in order to enjoy contributing to student life at your school. Sure, you have to live somewhere, but spending your freshman year in the dorms can give you the added benefit of making friends and establishing a social circle. Consider signing up for a meal plan, and gaining 10 pounds in the dining hall. Again, the purpose is to socialize and meet other students outside the classroom. Beyond consideration for Tilton School campus life, you may think about Northern Kentucky University presentations for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Game laws may change to lower the risk of concussion
World Rugby's chief medical officer has said that the game's tackling laws may have to be altered in an effort to reduce the risk of concussion.
In a BBC Panorama programme, 'Rugby and the Brain: Tackling the Truth', on the issue of head injuries last night, Dr Martin Raftery contended: "There's no doubt that the biggest area that we think, that we know where concussion is going to occur, is in the tackle, so that will help us to look at the tackle and see what we can do to make it safer."
When asked if this may require a change in the laws of the game, he replied: "It could. I think that my job is to identify risk and then look for solutions for the lawmakers to make the changes that will bring about protection of the athlete."
In 2011, Carrickfergus Grammar pupil Ben Robinson became the first person in Northern Ireland to die from second impact syndrome, when a collision causes swelling to the brain before it has been given sufficient time to recover from a previous blow.
Aged just 14, Ben collapsed near the end of his school's game with Dalriada having been momentarily knocked out at the start of the second-half.
Highlighting studies conducted at grassroots level, Dr James Robson, the Scottish Rugby Union's chief medical officer who has also served on six British and Irish Lions tours, stressed the need to spread word of the potential risks.
"Two seasons ago we had a real push, a real initiative - we educated people that only by knowing what was happening with injury could we make a significant difference," he said.
"I strongly believe that we do need to look at the laws of the game and the way that it's played."
The issue was in the news again last week when former Wales flanker Jonathan Thomas, who won 67 Test caps between 2003 and 2011 and featured at two World Cups, was forced to retire at the age of only 32 after being diagnosed with epilepsy thought to have been brought on by multiple head traumas.
Thomas said: "I've learnt a huge amount during the last few months about head trauma, seizures and epilepsy, and it would be great if I could help out in some way.
"I still think it's the players who need more education about the warning signs and getting out of that 'digging in' mentality."
In America, more than 4,500 former NFL players who say the league hid the dangers of head trauma have sued the organisation.

The Royal Southern Academy's 2017 programme got off to a flying start on
Saturday 28th January.
With a steady breeze of 8 - 12 knots and glorious
sunshine belying the winter weather of the previous week; day 1 of the frostbite
series represented some top-quality winter sportsboat racing.
The race committee made best use of the fantastic early season conditions,
squeezing in 5 good races in the usual short course windward - leeward format of
Academy racing. Competition was close, with starts well contested and the X-Ray
flag making several appearances for over-zealous starters!
As always, this
format of short course racing proved ideal for early season racing, keeping
crews active and engaged - as well as providing lots of opportunities to perfect
manoeuvres before the summer's big regattas.
With our Academy J/80's out racing crewed by a combination of Academy and Club
members, friendly competition ensued, whilst several privately-owned boats added
an extra challenge to the mix; which was well received, especially as these are
crews that many will be up against at the J/80 Worlds this summer.
Two more weekends of racing make up the remainder of this series and, with
entries rolling in for these, the Royal Southern and the Academy are again
proving themselves a hotbed of competitive sportsboat racing; with the
facilities and race management to match. Excellent news considering the large
sportsboat events we will be hosting this season!

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant whether the mayorship was also up in 2010, forcing him to give it up if he ran for the Senate. But if it's up in 2009, he can run for the Senate without any problem.
No, it's up in Nov '09. I don't know if he is running again. He's been Mayor for 8 years now.

Probably one of the curious objects here is the so-called "plunge battery". These are carbon and zinc electrodes, and to turn it on, you put the electrodes in the electrolyte, and to turn it off, you pull them out.
What is next to it is a bank of Leyden jars…it's named for the town in Holland where they were first used…and they are a form of capacitor with the tin foil on the outside of the bottle, and the tin foil on the inside of the bottle…the two electrodes of an electrostatic capacitor. And they put in a bank of them…there are…
Fred – "And they just used the glass as the dielectric between the two plates…"
Exactly. There are nine of them here and they're all in parallel to get a larger capacitance. I don't know how many microfarads this is, but it's probably pretty high.
Down here is a collection of various types of batteries and Leyden jars…there's a little Leyden jar right here, for example…but here's a wet battery…here's another wet battery…these are more wet batteries…actually, there was a certain battery called the "Edison-Leland Battery", and that porcelain one right there is an Edison-Leland Battery. Those were the kind of batteries used in the Massie Wireless Station next door, originally. You wouldn't run to the hardware store and buy a number-six battery, you know. You know the number-six battery, like this. I played with those when I was a kid. I could run down to Pawtuxet Paint and Hardware, you know, and buy these things pretty cheap in the depression.
There are ancient instruments here. That's a little Wimshurst Generator up there…electrostatic…up on the shelf.
Wimshurst Generator
This is a glass disk electrostatic generator. There should be leather pads on those springs…you rub the glass and I guess you rub the electrons off it and it charges things up.
Fred – "This looks like it was in a physics class…a demonstration in a physics class."
Well, as a matter of fact, quite a bit of this stuff came from Brown University. They were just junking it…and they gave it to us. This Wimshurst generator was made by Thorn Mayes, for whom the Mayes building is named. Two wheels turn in opposite directions. One is positive and one is negative, and this little bell will go back and forth between the two.
Franklin's Bells
Fred – "That was a Benjamin Franklin idea, wasn't it?"
Yes. Benjamin Franklin was so intrigued by this…this is in his apartment in London…he installed such a system. This one went to a rod that was sticking out the roof with a sharp point on the end of it, and this one went to a chain hanging in a well in the back yard. World's first antenna, world's first ground…Benjamin Franklin…approximately 1752, although this is later, this is 1770, or so, in London. It was sort of a weather predictor for him, because when a storm develops, the electricity in the atmosphere charges, and he would see these things start to move…you know…the variation on a barometer, if you will.
Fred – "Now, you've got one in the Massie Building, right?
Yes, Colin built that.
Fred – "Does it work?"
Yes, as a matter of fact, the day that Colin made it…it was a Thursday…and I had an amateur radio net on Thursday evenings…and I went out that evening, and I was sitting at the ham station with my back to the…Franklin's Bells. And I was talking to somebody on the…it could have been Colin I was talking to…on the radio. Anyway, it was a stormy night, and all of a sudden…"ding…ding…ding…ding"…right behind my head. So I can testify that it works! And thanks to Colin who built it.
Fred – "Didn't you also tell me Franklin had one in his house…that he got his wife to charge up batteries?"
Oh…yes, she wasn't altogether tickled about the idea.
Fred – "I can imagine!"
Here is just a collection of little motors and generators and things of that kind, but this is quite fascinating…you know, potentiometers are designed with a different curve of variation and resistance as you rotate the knob. Some are linear, some are logarithmic…some are various things. This one, I think, is logarithmic. You see the carbon on here, and the contact plate…it starts off high resistance…as you go around you're hitting more carbon, so you get a lower and lower resistance. Over here it's a short circuit. So that's a pretty early version of a potentiometer with a variable resistance.
Unfortunately, this…this is another Wimshurst generator…but things don't travel very well…and this one got broken in transit sometime. It's a Wimshurst…only one is turning…I've never made that work.
This is mostly the way Franklin made his electricity…you rub the glass wand…and it builds up a charge.
Here is an X-Ray tube. Very high voltage between them, and the X-Ray beam fires out this way, off the 45-degree angle.
Fred – "X-Rays are shorter wavelengths?"
Yes, X-Rays are beyond the visible light.
Fred – "They were pretty dangerous originally, when people didn't really know what they were getting themselves into."
Well, isn't it the way with every discovery we make? Look at the chemicals we make…they're awful things…some of them…and, unfortunately, it make a lot of unknowing people excessively cautious about things they don't really understand.
Little magnetos, little motors…there's a strain insulator for a high-power radio transmitter.

Alan Green: Beaten bosses got their priorities right
I'm sure it didn't escape your attention: all three of the newly promoted clubs to the Premier League lost to lower league opposition in the Carling Cup after Norwich changed their entire team, Swansea made nine changes and QPR eight.
Brendan Rodgers described it as his worst night in football when Swansea lost to Shrewsbury but, surely, Rangers' boss Neil Warnock was nearer an honest appraisal of what had happened when he said, reflecting on his team's defeat by Rochdale, that "nobody cares about the Carling Cup".
Sorry but, in my mind, these weren't 'cup upsets': rather, it was a case of the top flight clubs getting priorities in the right order. Promoted clubs want to stay up, the likes of Steve Bruce's Sunderland, who also lost, want further Premiership stability.
I ask you, if they had the choice now, would Birmingham fans prefer beating Arsenal at Wembley back in February or avoiding the relegation to the Championship that followed?

As I moved from apartment to apartment and finally into my house I picked up things here and there because I liked them. Sometimes they'd end up in storage waiting for me to find just the right spot. Other times I'd work a room around that one special piece that spoke to me.
The style of Robert and Cortney Novogratz speaks to me. It's colorful. It's bold. It's whimsical. It's just like me. (Or at least the me I want to be.)
The CB2 and Novogratz Collection is inspired by the couple's vacation home and their travels. The stripes in the Botao sectional are a particular favorite of mine.
The Dupla credenza is another favorite. It manages to be both modern and retro at the same time. (Not to mention perfectly functional. Do the colors and style of this special collection speak to you, too? How'd you like to visit their inspiration?
You can take along your three best friends for a stay in the vacation home of Bob and Cortney Novogratz. Just enter the CB2 and Novogratz Brasil Sweepstakes and you could be headed to Trancoso Brazil! Ten other lucky winners will snag a $100 gift card for CB2 and a signed copy of "Home by Novogratz". Hurry, though…the sweepstakes ends on June 3rd.

Aspace Wooden Sword
When I first saw this, I was instantly reminded of the wooden swords my Grandfather used to make us. And how much fun they were.

Initial Thoughts: when I first spotted the Aspace wooden sword, I was instantly reminded of the wooden swords my grandfather used to make for us when we were children. And how much fun they were. A lightsaber is all well and good, but sometimes only a wooden sword will do – and this one looks gorgeous.
We liked: it's nice and light, so Flea could wield this in a most impressive manner. The blade is quite thin, too, and I get the impression the wood would snap before doing any serious injury. The blade is rounded and there are no sharp corners that could have someone's eye out.
We weren't keen: The handle of the sword is painted blue and after half an hour there were already a couple of small scratches on the sword. Over time, this is undoubtedly a toy that will get that 'loved' look, but I don't think it's a big problem – it's wooden, so it'll last even if the paint job doesn't.
Overall: It's a lovely, traditional toy at a fantastic price, and the children we tested this toy with absolutely loved it. Just make sure you warn kids not to go attacking the TV with it!

A Prayer to God for Help
Loving Father, I currently feel defeated. I am faced with so many problems at the moment. I sense that I will not be able to bear this burden any longer. Lord, I am your faithful servant. Today I come to you in prayer asking for your help and assistance. I need your presence in my life to guide me in overcoming this task. I put my faith in you, because I know that you're the only who understands what I'm going through. Please save me from this misery. Allow me to overcome all the obstacles I am faced with and to come out a stronger person. Lord hear my cry for help. In these desperate times, I call to you, because you are my Savior. You've been with me since the very beginning. I'm sure you know me much better than I know myself. You've created me in your own image and likeness because of your unending love. I am weary, but as a child of God, I have kept my faith strong. No matter how difficult life may get, I will always love and serve you. You have let the world experience your greatness. I know that you can assist me if I ask. I trust that you will hear me and help me throughout these trying times.
A Short Prayer for Financial Freedom
Dear God, I come before you at this moment asking for financial relief. I know that you will never forsake me. I am experiencing a financial crisis in my life. The debts are escalating and the job isn't going so well. I have faith that you always make a way where there seems to not be one. I pray that you may open doors for debt relief. You are a loving Father that will surely intervene in my situation. Help me to put your word into practice even in the way that I use my money and wealth. Let me find favor and breakthrough in my financial struggles. I pray in the name of the living Word.
A Prayer for Financial Help
Dear God, I am currently struggling to keep my finances from falling apart. I have plenty of debts I need to repay. It has been very difficult for me to pay my bills. I could not seem to earn enough money to ensure my family's well being. Although I work very hard at my job, it seems that my income is never enough for our daily needs. I work overtime on most days in the hopes that it will make a difference financially. I'm having troubles trying to find out other ways to earn income. I need to support my family, because I am the one they rely on. You have always been very helpful in providing for my needs. Today I come to you during these financially bleak times. I don't know what else to do but to pray, and ask for your saving grace. I'm not sure if I should look for a new job or ask for a raise. Guide me to the right path, so that I may be able to find a solution to this problem. I trust that there is still hope for me. I believe that with your help anything is possible. Allow me to earn a large enough income, so that I could provide for my family's needs. Thank you for showing me your love and kindness. I know that I'll be able to get through these challenging times with you by my side.
Prayer for Financial Freedom
Our Father, we come before you at this time asking for your assistance. Forgive us our sins and renew our spirit. We, at times, take for granted what you have provided us with. We confess that we have failed you in many ways and have fallen short of your glory. We have ignored or forgotten to tithe and help the poor. At this financially challenging moment we pray that you may help lift this burden of crushing debt. Give us the strength to pursue our everyday activities through which we earn a living. I put these problems in your able hands. Any help from you would be greatly appreciated. You have already given us so much more than we deserve, so it pains me to ask for this. I wouldn't ask if it wasn't affecting our daily lives. I have not been sleeping well and have been feeling depressed. I've been trying to figure out how to overcome this burden. We are having a difficult time paying our bills. I humbly ask of you to help us come out of this financial crisis. May the Holy Spirit give us the attributes we need to succeed. Inspire our spirit and give us strength to work hard in order to increase our income. Grant us the wisdom to manage our money well. In your name we pray.
A Prayer for Help at Work
Heavenly Father, my professional career is a huge part of my life. It's a way for me to feel accomplished and to provide for my family's needs. I love my job and I am very happy to be surrounded with like minded individuals who have the same determination as I have. These past few days have been the most difficult times I have faced in my career. It seems as if everything is not quite falling into place as I hoped. I have so many tasks and responsibilities I need to fulfill in a short amount of time. My boss has put his faith in me to produce quality results. I don't intend to let him or my colleagues down. I know that with your help I will be able to accomplish every task I was assigned to do. Please hear my plead. I worked very hard to be in the position I am now. I trust that there is a way for you to lighten this burden. Be my guide in overcoming this battle. You are a loving and merciful God. I know that you're always by my side especially during troubling times. Don't forsake me, O Lord. You are the only one I can turn to whenever I am faced with tough situations at work. You are my Father and I am your child. Continue to watch over me so I may succeed in my endeavors. I trust in your greatness, and I know that you'll hear my plead.
Prayer for Help and Guidance
Heavenly Father I come into your presence today acknowledging that you are my source of help, and without it I will go astray. I pray that in all my ways I shall be guided by you lest I fall into the snare of confusion and misdirection. There are some recent situations that have been pressing me hard from every direction. Remind me of your unconditional love. Save me from falling prey to the wicked counsel of those that don't give respect to your name. When my heart is troubled and weary I pray you shall reassure me with your presence. You are the author of all wisdom, and I ask that your endless wisdom will always show me the right direction to take in every situation. Have mercy on me when I go astray, and let the Holy Spirit draw me back into your warm embrace. Though my adversaries are doing everything to pull me down I ask for your help to love and pray for them always. I thank you for your continued assurance that you shall make straight paths for me through every mountain that comes my way. My God you are supreme and no evil can withstand your presence; I pray that you shall guide me in the ways of holiness and be an example to the lost. I trust that all help that I need you will provide and I shall continually dwell in your presence to draw my everyday strength. In Jesus's name I pray.

HC to appoint retired judge to detect double allotment of flats under CM's discretionary quota
The Bombay High Court today said that a one-man committee of a retired district judge would be appointed to scrutinise all applications since 1989 for acquiring flats under the Chief Minister's discretionary quota in Maharashtra in order to detect cases of double allotment
The Bombay High Court today said that a one-man committee of a retired district judge would be appointed to scrutinise all applications since 1989 for acquiring flats under the Chief Minister's discretionary quota in Maharashtra in order to detect cases of double allotment.
The suggestion was given by a bench headed by Justice Abhay Oka who asked the Registrar General of the High Court to give a list of names of retired judges, who could be appointed on the committee. The bench said the committee would study applications which had sought flats under CM's quota and also affidavits filed by applicants to find out whether any beneficiary had got double allotment of flats by giving false declaration that he or she does not own a house in the state.
The bench further said the committee would also verify whether a beneficiary of a flat in one agglomeration had got another house in another agglomeration. There were a total of nine agglomerations in the State, an affidavit filed by the State Government said.
The court said it would pass an order on September 29 on appointment of a retired district judge for this committee.
In the meantime, the bench asked the state to submit additional data about the flats it had taken back from those who had been allotted double houses from CM's quota and also information about FIRs registered against double allottees.
On the last occasion, the state had informed that it had filed FIRs against 27 persons who had secured double allotment of houses from CM's quota by giving false declarations.
The state informed the court that a house is allotted to a person from the discretionary quota on condition that he does not own a flat in the limits of the city or district where he lives. But in some cases it had come to its notice that people file false affidavits affirming that they do not own flats and seek double allotments.
The government had earlier informed the court that it had stopped allotting houses from CM's quota in keeping with the court's order scrapping the state's policy on the issue.
The state had also informed that those who had secured flats from the CM's quota on the basis of false declaration about not owning a house, will face prosecution.
On March 20, the high court had struck down the state's policy for allotment of houses to the beneficiaries under the CM's quota.
Describing the policy as "illegal, irrational and unfair", the court had asked the state to frame a new policy which should be transparent and fair. The bench had also restrained the state from making further allotments from the CM's quota under the policy struck down by the court.
Under the CM's quota, flats were being allotted to various categories of people such as freedom fighters, artists, sports persons, journalists and government employees.
The PIL argued that beneficiaries of flats under CM's quota were either related to MLAs or MPs or were influential politicians themselves and the common man did not benefit from those schemes.
The petitioner alleged that the government had not taken action against those who had secured more than one flat after making false declarations, either by way of registering an FIR or cancelling the allotment.

Toyota announced today, they just signed a multi-year partnership deal with Chloe Kim, the youngest member of the U.S. Snowboard Pro team to join their Team Toyota athlete roster.
The first-generation Korean American who won her second-consecutive X Games gold at Aspen 2016 and made history againthe following week at the Park City Grand Prix, as the first woman to land back-to-back 1080s, turned 16 on April 23 (the only X Games athlete to win two golds before age 16).
To celebrate her Sweet 16 and her new status as a Team Toyota athlete, Toyota surprised her with a decked out, custom wrapped RAV4 Hybrid as she left a birthday dinner with her family and friends.
Here are some fun facts about Chloe Kim, the newest Team Toyota athlete:
- A 15 year old (turned 16 on April 23, 2016), first-generation Korean American, she is the youngest member of the U.S. Snowboard "Pro" team.
- She won her second-consecutive X Games gold at Aspen 2016.
- She made history again the following week at the Park City Grand Prix, becoming the first woman to land back-to-back 1080s, scoring a perfect 100.
- She earned her first X Games medal (silver) at age 13 and is the only X Games athlete ever to win two gold before age 16.
- Named one of Time Magazine's "30 Most Influential Teens of 2015"
- NBC Top 10 athletes to watch for the 2018 Winter Games.
"I'm so excited to partner with Toyota and represent their brand on the slopes and off," said Kim. "Growing up I was inspired watching some of the most incredible athletes in the sport, and to this day, I'm still impressed by so many of them as a fan of the sport. I'm proud to be the newest member on the team."

Following a week where much focus was on RCS during , announced the launch of joyn to its 35 million mobile users in Germany last week.mobile text marketing
This comes as somewhat of a surprise, as we last reported at the end of January that Deutsche Telekom had said they were delaying their launch of joyn ". Certainly good news to see they have overcome these issues and in a shorter timeframe than expected.
Deutsche Telekom is now the second operator to offer joyn in Germany, along with the country's other largest carrier , who launched their service in August 2012. Telefónica also plan to launch in the market later this year, at which point the service will then be available to over 80 per cent of all mobile customers in Germany – which is essential to make the service a real contender against popular OTT apps in the region.
Launched as 'joyn by Telekom' initially as an Andriod application, the iOS equivalent is due to go live on Apple's AppStore in the coming weeks. While it is currently only available as an application to download, Deutsche Telekom is confident that mobile manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC and Nokia are set to embed it in future models.
One of the key strengths of joyn, particularly of relevance in Germany, is that it offers greater security compared with OTT apps such as WhatsApp, which came following a joint investigation by Dutch and Canadian regulators, for violating international privacy laws. "Since the companies offering the service are located in Germany, along with their server facilities, the service conforms to stringent European data-protection regulations," explains , pointing out that network operators make money by charging for connectivity rather than mining user behaviour and contacts.
With regards to pricing, Deutsche Telekom are allowing the service's chat and file transfer functions to be used at no additional charge to customers on tariffs that include a data or SMS flat rate bundle. Usage of joyn also won't contribute to data caps, so 15MB files and video calls can be happily exchanged at the end of the month as well as the start of it. The service will also available to prepaid customers at no additional charge until the end of August to encourage service uptake.
It will be interesting to see how the service is accepted by Deutsche Telekom's customers, but we expect that now the two largest German operators have launched joyn, the levels of interest and service uptake will increase and gain momentum over the coming months. We'll be following closely!

Just moved into your new home.
Leaves are falling and, while the days are glorious, the nights are frosty. Time to winterize your new garden!
Plant tulips and other bulbs before the ground freezes – first ask neighbours if they know where any spring bulbs might already be located. Plant bulbs in holes about three times their height with the pointed part facing up. Once covered with soil, give the bulb planting area a good watering. Weighted chicken wire offers protection from squirrels but must be removed before the bulbs sprout in the spring.
Evergreens provide winter colour and they shelter birds. Water them well during the autumn to prevent winter burn from moisture loss. Once the temperature regularly falls below zero, wrap them loosely in burlap to prevent winter burn.
Look after your lawn by raking up any fallen leaves and debris (left on, it can cause bare patches). It's getting late, but there is still time to reseed weak patches of your lawn.The year's final mowing should be very close to the ground.
Tip: leave ornamental grasses and any hard-stemmed perennials standing to add some visual interest to the winter garden.

The planner accessories are finally here!!
I wasn't quite sure how to put today's Periscope into words (LOL) so I decided to just show you the new planner accessories that launched today instead.
Out of all four designs, I think this cherry blossom is my absolute favorite. Then again, I have this thing for flowers so it's probably no surprise.
My favorite part about all of these? Aside from the shimmery glitter, I'm in love with all of the color options. Something about color + glitter just makes me one happy camper. =)
And unicorns… I mean seriously. My planner seriously needed glittery unicorns.
Weather you are a beginner or a novice planner girl, planner clips are such a big help when it comes to staying on top of your day. I like to use one to mark my weekly planner while using the second one to mark the monthly calendar. It saves me so much time, since I don't have to keep flipping back and forth to find my spot. Hope you enjoy!

If you take a look at VLC Media Player's video effects and filters, you will find a couple of basic ones that allows you to fine tune your media file. To access those features, you go to Tools > Effects and Filters or hit the hotkey CTRL + E. Under the Video Effects tab in the Adjustment and Effects window, you will get to access many options which are sorted and presented in tabs. The most basic or essential video editing settings is none other than changing the visuals like Brightness, Hue, Contract, Saturation etc. They come under the first tab and are grouped as Essential.
There are several more video filters and editing options that this player offers and they are put together in other tabs. You must have notice those in the Video Effects options. You will find the Crop setting, Colors adjustment tab, Geometry tab which is for rotating and transforming, Overlay tab to add and remove logos, texts and watermarks and others such as Atmolight and Advanced which are neat if you know how to use them.
But the thing with these effects is that they are applied directly to the video that you are playing but once you close the player, you will find that the media file remains unchanged. Until some time back, I thought that these effects were for playing the videos in VLC only. But recently, I discovered that it is possible to keep these video effects, filters, and edits permanently. You just have to use the Convert / Save feature that also comes with the player and is accessible from Media > Convert / Save or using the shortcut key combination CTRL + R. When the player is done with the conversion, you can find the changes being permanently kept in the output file. So, VLC works great as a video editor if you are looking to do some basic edits.
It is agreeable that these video effects aren't of topmost quality when compared to the video editing software out there but for the basic user like you and me, they are adequate. So, like all of the other posts, here are the detailed steps on how you can not only edit and apply video filters and effects but also you can make the changes permanent to your file:
First: Adding the Effects and Filters
- Open the video of your choice.
- Go to Tools > Effects and Filters. [CTRL + E]
- In the Adjustment and Effects pop up, switch to the Video Effects
- Apply one or more of the effects sorted under the sub-tabs.
- Click on Close and you will see your video with the filter applied.
Now: Making the Effects and Filters Permanent
- Click on Media > Convert / Save. [CTRL + R]
- In the Open Media popup, click on Add.
- Browse and locate your present file, select it and click Open.
- Click on Convert/Save.
- Choose a destination file as you Browse, give a File name and hit Save.
- Press the Start button to begin the process.
You will notice that the player minimizes. You can bring it back up and you will see that the player's media position indicator is moving. That means that the conversion process is going on. Now, instead of the media file's position, the timeline will display how much of your file is converted. If it is a lengthy video, it will take some time.
Once the conversion completes, locate your file. It's the destination file that you named in the conversion steps above. Open it and you will see that the changes like cropping, color and brightness adjustments, aspect ratio settings, rotations etc are all kept permanently. It means that you can play the file using any other player or give it to anyone else and the new edits are always there. You can reverse some of the edits if you know what you are doing. But for now, enjoy a free video editor that has always been installed on your computer.

Some of the trees are starting to flower - this one the kapok tree, but I also spotted a pink tabebuia in the early stages of blooming. There is no 'low hanging fruit' on this tree and thus, the shot is not well composed - will try to capture a fallen blossom and/or shorter tree at some point. Since February is usually a colorful month here, my goal is to try to share with those who blanketed in white and gray. 3rd Ave N & 5th St, Naples, FL
