Things start to warm up in Tel Aviv, Israel, in May, with temperatures climbing and the amount of rainfall declining sharply, making this a great month to visit ahead of the baking summer period. The average temperature in Tel Aviv in May is 21.8°C, with an average high of 24.9°C and an average low of only 17.3°C. It can get incredibly hot though and temperatures regularly hit 32°C. The May high for Tel Aviv was an unbearable 46.5°C, the highest recorded temperature for any month of the year in Tel Aviv. At the other end of the scale, the record low was 11.2°C. and it will seldom go below 14°C at night.
Things are warming up in the water too, with the average sea temperature for Tel Aviv going up to a comfortable 21°C. The average relative humidity, while still high, is lower than three of the previous four months at 63 per cent meaning that conditions can still get a little sticky. But overall, this is a good time for a visit to Tel Aviv. Make sure to check our local weather report before you go.
May sees a dramatic drop in the average rainfall in Tel Aviv with the monthly average of 3.6mm/0.1inches being felt on just 1.8 days of the month. If you do get rain, it will generally be very light and tends to come in the earlier part of the month, closer to April.
May in Tel Aviv is very sunny, with average sunshine of 329 hours for the month, or 10.6 hours per day, considerably more than the average of eight hours per day that Madrid, Spain receives in May. The days are long too, with between 13 hours and 26 minutes and 14 hours and six minutes of daylight. Sunrise is at 5.55am and sunset at 7.21pm on May 1 and sunset is 5.35am and sunset at 7.41pm on May 31. Cloud cover is also falling in May, with a 25 per cent chance of a cloudy day at the start of the month and an 11 per cent chance by May 31.
Wind speeds in Tel Aviv stay around the same throughout May, with an average of 7.6mph and only a minor variation on this during the month. The wind blows predominantly from the west in May, for more than half of the time. The calmest day of the year is on May 11, when wind speed is at 7.5mph on average.
T-shirts, shorts and cool, loose fitting clothing is essential, as are swimming costumes. If temperatures hot up you will be grateful for a cool dip in the pool or sea. You can probably leave the waterproofs at home but take a warmer top for the evenings just in case. Make sure that you check our 14-day forecast for Tel Aviv before you head for the airport.
Tel Aviv Hotels in May
Savoy Sea Side Hotel
Savoy Sea Side Hotel is a good self-catering option located 100 metres from Jerusalem Beach in Tel Aviv centre. The four-star boutique hotel has a daily breakfast buffet, but no restaurant. That is not a problem as all suites have kitchenettes and there are so many restaurants nearby. Rooms are modern with private balconies, a living room and separate bedroom. Carmel Market is a five-minute walk away.
Shenkin Hotel
Perfectly located just two minutes from Tel Aviv's famous market, The Shuk, and 10 minutes from Rothschild Boulevard and the beach, the Shenkin Hotel is a great choice for travellers who want to be at the heart of the action but are on a budget. There is no restaurant, but there are plenty of choices nearby and the hotel has a lovely roof terrace and spa.
Hotel Gilgal
The boutique three-star Hotel Gilgal is 200 metres from the public beach on Tel Aviv seafront and some of the 50 rooms at this reasonably priced choice offer sea views. Breakfast is available each day and there is a coffee shop in the lobby and restaurant, with plenty of other dining choices right outside the door. As with most hotels of this size, there is also a rooftop terrace for guests.
The Diaghilev Boutique Hotel
The Diaghilev is a stylish, stripped-down sister hotel to the Rothschild Hotel, with simpler rooms but a perfect location and arty vibe, with regular exhibitions. The ballet-inspired Backstage Bar is a meeting place for the city's tech whizzkids and serves breakfast, salads, sandwiches and other snacks. Reception is open 24 hours and private cycle tours of Tel Aviv can be arranged there.
Tel Aviv Beaches in May
Jerusalem Beach
May is a great month to hit the beach in Tel Aviv, before it gets too hot and the crowds descend. Right in the heart of the city and close to Carmel Market is Jerusalem Beach, formerly known as Geula Beach. It's as popular with Tel Aviv's young people as it is with tourists and can get noisy at times, especially at weekends! You will certainly hear the familiar sound of the beach game Matkot being played. There are bars and restaurants across the street and a beach café, outdoor showers, a fitness area and playground on the beach itself.
Puaa
You can buy a meal at Puaa and if you like the furniture and fittings you can buy them too! All the furniture and accessories are for sale, which is apt as it's in a flea market. The food is good too and it gets packed at weekends, with all-day Israeli breakfasts and dishes such as fried challah with jam and halva or sour cream and cucumber are in great demand.
416 is a nirvana for vegans, but meat eaters should not be put off, as the food has drawn rave reviews from all quarters. The team here serve generous meals with lots of extras and these include vegan shawarma, a juicy seitan steak served with potatoes and onions and mushroom schnitzel baguettes to name just a few. Another restaurant that it's worth booking ahead for.
The two big challenges with Sputnik are finding it in the first place and securing a table when you do. Even though it only opened two years ago, this is a seriously popular nightspot tucked down an alley off Allenby, near the corner of Rothschild. Hipsters abound to enjoy drInks and listen to great music, including top DJs and live acts. There are big queues to get in on occasions, so to be sure of a place, book a table in advance.
The Greek influence is strong at Kalamata, named after the Peloponnese region of Greece. It occupies a 500-year-old house on Jaffa's Kdumim Square. The menu is Greek-Cypriot with an Israeli influence and diners can enjoy starters such as stuffed vine leaves and ceviche and mains of black seafood pasta and meat or seafood kebabs. Leave room for a home-made dessert, including Arabic sweet kunafeh with ice cream. A bonus is the huge window which looks out over the Mediterranean.
Things to do in Tel Aviv in May
Carmel Market
Another great Tel Aviv market is also the city's busiest. Carmel Market is a typically crowded, loud and noisy Middle East shuk bursting with clothing, electronics, food, spices and accessories. One of its strengths is the range of fresh produce on offer, from bread to fruit and vegetables, so self-catering tourists will find it useful to do their shopping here and save money in the process. There are food tours of the market for newcomers.
Maine Friendship House
The American Colony was the first neighbourhood to be established outside the Jaffa city walls and was founded by a collective of American Christians almost 160 years ago. The Maine Friendship House museum tells their story in an entertaining and engaging way. The area is now a bit tatty but is quite safe. The museum opens two days a week, but they will open specially on other days if visitors call in advance.
Rubin Museum
The Romanian-born Reuven Rubin was hailed as Palestine's answer to Gauguin and was also compared to Matisse. Born in 1893, he emigrated to Palestine aged 30 and became famous for his landscape paintings depicting scenes from his new home. After his death in 1974, the Rubin Museum was established in his former home, displaying scenes from Jaffa and Israel's early years.
Helena Rubenstein Pavilion
The Helena Rubenstein Pavilion is a contemporary art gallery which was funded by the cosmetics company fonder of the same name and is an annexe of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The top floor houses a large collection of decorative arts and downstairs is the main exhibition area which displays a range of works by Israeli artsts and others from around the world. There is a small courtyard café at the rear.

A PICTURE OF MONKEY BUSINESS - OR, HOW A SMALL FURRY PET BECAME A GIANT MYSTERY APE. PART 2: THE TRUE HISTORY OF AMERANTHROPOIDES LOYSI
The uncropped version of Dr François de Loys's photograph of the supposed South American ape Ameranthropoides loysi – one of the most controversial cryptozoological images of all time (public domain)
Welcome to my 600th post on ShukerNature! Befitting of such a momentous occasion, the subject documented by me in this post is of profound cryptozoological significance – revealing how one of the most infamous mystery beast frauds of all time was finally exposed. In Part 1 (click here) of this two-part ShukerNature article, I documented the 'official' history of a truly extraordinary mystery creature - a supposedly genuine, tailless, bipedal South American ape, reputedly encountered and killed in the Venezuelan jungle almost exactly a century ago by a team of geologists led by one Dr François de Loys, and subsequently dubbed Ameranthropoides loysi ('Loys's American ape') by a radical French zoologist called Prof. George Montandon who held very extreme, controversial views concerning human evolution. Now it's time to document this creature's true history, by presenting the crucial yet all-too-long-overlooked information that conclusively exposed the entire Ameranthropoides episode as a blatant, deliberate hoax.
The 'official' history of Ameranthropoides loysi began to unravel on 16 July 1962. This was when the Caracas, Venezuela, newspaper El Universal's historian Guillermo José Schael published in the paper a telegram lately received from the village of Casigua, in the Tarra River region of Venezuela, concerning a supposed giant spider that had allegedly strangled to death a ranch worker named Juancho. Not surprisingly, this dramatic news attracted considerable interest from readers, and elicited a letter from a hunter named Jerónimo Martínez-Mendoza, which was published on 18 July by El Universal.
In it, Martínez-Mendoza suggested that the report was mistaken, that it had probably been a giant spider monkey which had attacked and killed Juancho, and he drew comparisons in his letter with the Ameranthropoides incident from 1917. This letter was in turn read by Dr Enrique Tejera Guevara (1899-1980), a Venezuelan-born friend of de Loys in the field (as well as a decorated tropical physician and pathologist, ambassador, and minister in the Venezuelan government), who lost no time in replying via a letter of his own, but which contained a truly sensational disclosure.

Published in El Universal on 19 July 1962, Dr Tejera's letter revealed that back on 11 March 1929 (mistakenly given as 1919 in the newspaper-published version of his letter) he had attended a lecture at the Academy of Sciences in Paris, France, given by Montandon concerning Ameranthropoides, but that he had been very surprised to hear Montandon's claims about the creature being a very tall, bipedal, tailless South American ape. Consequently, at the end of the lecture Tejera had stood up, and, to a hushed audience, had brusquely dismissed Montandon's claims as nonsense.
Tejera informed them that he had actually been in the company of de Loys in 1917 when the famous encounter with the two apes and the shooting of one of them had supposedly taken place – but affirmed that no such encounter or shooting had in fact occurred. Instead, the creature in the photograph was nothing more than de Loys's own normal-sized pet marimonda spider monkey, which he had dubbed 'the monkey-man', and whose tail had been amputated after it had become infected. Moreover, after his pet spider monkey had later died, and again in the presence of Tejera, de Loys had decided, as a joke, to take a photo of its body propped upright and sitting on a crate.
And as the climax of his dramatic exposé, Tejera proclaimed that it was this joke picture that had subsequently become known as the now-infamous Ameranthropoides 'ape' photograph, thanks to Montandon, and which with Frankensteinian vigour had swiftly raged out of its creator's control - until in order to preserve his reputation as a serious scientist, a highly embarrassed de Loys, seeing no way of extricating himself from this most unwelcome situation without looking very foolish indeed, had thereby found himself unable to confess the truth.
Banana trees (public domain)
But that was not all. Far from being in an area of wild, uncharted jungle in peril from attacks by Motilone Indians at the time when the photograph was taken as claimed by de Loys, he and his party were actually in an oil exploration camp very close to civilisation. Furthermore, there was vital, conclusive proof of this statement contained in the uncropped version of the Ameranthropoides photograph, yet which had been overlooked by everyone for decades, even after Tejera's earth-shattering announcement in front of a shocked and stunned Montandon back in 1929.
The proof was the presence in this picture of a banana crop on the opposite side of the river from where the dead spider monkey was propped up and photographed. Banana trees are of Asian and Australasian origin, they are not native to the New World, having been introduced there by humans, and they can only grow near civilisation, not in the wild jungle region of South America where de Loys had averred that the photograph had been snapped. So the presence of banana trees in that picture verified that it had been snapped in the former location, not in the latter one that de Loys had alleged. This in turn also negates a claim made by him that whilst supposedly in the remote jungle, no fewer than 17 of his men had died due to the inhospitable conditions and the hostile Motilone Indians (in reality, there is no independent confirmation of this). In addition, Tejera revealed that rather than de Loys having led a single 4-year expedition to the Tarra River region as so frequently claimed in subsequent accounts of the Ameranthropoides case, he had instead led several much shorter ones (Tejera even provided their respective specific dates), and rarely beyond the perimeter of civilisation, as demonstrated, for instance, by the presence of banana trees in the Ameranthropoides photo.
Having said that, the portion of the photograph showing these trees is sufficiently blurred for their conclusive identification to be somewhat tricky. Tejera was there when the photo was taken, so obviously he could clearly discern their true nature, but the evidence for them from the photo alone is less certain. Happily, however, there is one additional aspect of this image that vindicates his statement. In the lower right quadrant of the photo, alongside the monkey in the foreground, a leafy shoot is present that is identifiable as a chopped-down but now-regenerating banana tree (I have shown this to various friends who have kept banana trees, and they have all affirmed that this shoot is indeed one). I have arrowed it in the uncropped photo reproduced below.

In addition, an aspect that, very surprisingly, seems not to have been considered previously is that for a creature supposedly killed by a hail of bullets, it seems in the photograph to be remarkably free of bullet holes or wounds, especially as it was supposedly shot from the front, not from the back or side. This of course is readily explained by the fact that, thanks to Tejera, we now know that the creature wasn't an attacking ape that had been shot, it was merely a pet monkey that had died of natural causes.
Equally, as the photographed 'ape' specimen was merely a marimonda spider monkey after all, de Loys's allegation that its dentition was different from that of spider monkeys was clearly yet another falsehood. And no doubt his so-convenient explanation of why the skull had not been retained for formal scientific examination (he claimed that the camp cook had converted it into a salt container and that it had then fallen apart), which of course would have readily identified its true taxonomic nature and exposed his dentition claim as false, was also a blatant lie. Little wonder, then, why de Loys was not able to escape from the web of deceit that he had spun when carrying out his joke, and which had ultimately and inextricably enveloped him.
But that was still not everything. At least two years before penning to El Universal his devastating letter outing and condemning Montandon and the entire Ameranthropoides charade, Tejera had actually revealed all of this to fellow medical practitioner Dr Raymond Fiasson, who had documented it in his book Des Indiens et des Mouches: Dans les Llanos du Vénézuela (1960). Yet this too had escaped attention from cryptozoologists and zoologists alike. So also had a section included by American physical anthropologist Prof. Earnest A. Hooton in his book Man's Poor Relations (1942) – a significant but hitherto-overlooked snippet until French cryptozoologist Michel Raynal had rediscovered it in 2007 (during that same year, Michel had also been instrumental in bringing Fiasson's documentation to public notice). Prof. Hooton had revealed that in late 1932, American geologist A. James Durlacher had written to him announcing that in 1927 he had spoken to various former members of de Loys's expeditions and had learnt from them that Ameranthropoides had indeed merely been a marimonda spider monkey. Even more frustrating, in 2001 Spanish researchers Bernardo Urbani, Dr Ángel L. Viloria, and Franco Urbani had presented much of this key information in a paper published by the Venezuelan journal Anartia, Publicaciones Ocasionales del Museo de Biologia de La Universidad del Zulia, in which they had concluded that the Ameranthropoides saga was certainly a hoax – but yet again, this revelation had somehow evaded widespread attention! (It is even possible that Tejera's dramatic intervention at the end of Montandon's lecture back in 1929 was subsequently documented in some French newspaper(s) and/or periodical(s), but if so these too failed to attract any public notice and still await rediscovery.)

Happily, however, their skilful detective work uncovering this hoax was at last given its long-deserved international attention when, in 2008, Bernardo Urbani and Dr Viloria published all of their findings in book form – Ameranthropoides loysi Montandon 1929: The History of a Primatological Fraud. The book's text was presented in two separate languages, English and Spanish, and was fully referenced, thus constituting the most comprehensive, and now-definitive, study and exposé of the whole sorry Ameranthropoides saga.
One final point to consider here, which I haven't seen mentioned before but which has intrigued me for some time, is whether de Loys was at least partly inspired when setting up his hoax photo by a very distinctive illustration that was still famous back then, although much less so today.
In 1758, eminent English naturalist and wildlife painter George Edwards wrote and illustrated Gleanings of Natural History, an authoritative tome that would remain a major work on that subject for well over a century. One of its illustrations was a hand-coloured copper engraving by Edwards of a young orang utan, among the first pictures ever prepared of this great ape, in which the orang utan was portrayed sitting upright on a wooden bench holding a long tall wooden stick in one hand. If this illustration is compared with the iconic Ameranthropoides photo, a number of striking similarities can be seen, including the orientation and/or form of the feet, limbs, facial expression, and even the stick (albeit utilised for different purposes).
Comparison of the Ameranthropoides loysi photograph with the George Edwards illustration of an orang utan (public domain)
Consequently, as Gleanings of Natural History was still well known during the early 20th Century, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that de Loys had seen Edwards's orang utan illustration in it and had elected to reconstruct it using the dead spider monkey, but for practical purposes had transformed the stick into a supporting prop in his photo.
Ameranthropoides loysi RIP...? Although this specific case was a fraud from beginning to end, it should be noted that mystery animal researchers are well aware that large ape-like creatures, walking bipedally and lacking tails, have been frequently reported by natives and Western explorers alike from many parts of Central and South America, where they are referred to locally and variously by such names as the sisimite (in Belize), xipe (Nicaragua), shiru (Colombia), vasitri (Venezuela), didi (Guyana), tarma (Peru), mono rey (Bolivia), caipora and curupira (Brazil), and others too. Detailed documentation of such sightings lies outside the scope of this present article, but one extremely noteworthy, representative encounter occurred as recently as 1987, so is deserving of inclusion here.
That was when New York Botanical Gardens mycologist Gary Samuels was crouching down on the forest floor in Guyana, investigating fungi. Looking up, he was very startled to see a 5-ft-tall hairy ape-man, walking by at close range on its hind legs but seemingly unaware of him as he stayed kneeling, concealed on the ground. This remarkable entity, which uttered an occasional "hoo" cry as it passed by him, was presumably a didi.
O Curupira, by Brazilian painter Manoel Santiago, produced in 1926 and depicting the mythical(?) red-haired man-beast of Brazil known as the curupira (Wikipedia CC BY 4.0 licence)
Explorer Simon Chapman's book, The Monster of the Madidi: Searching For the Giant Ape of the Bolivian Jungle (2001), documented his search in Bolivia's Madidi region for the mono rey. Although he failed to find it, his book does contain a couple of tantalising snippets that were new to me. One was his claim that until recently, a local Bolivian actually owned a pelt from a mono rey, which was then purchased by "a gringo" (European) who took it home and sent it (or samples from it) off for DNA analysis, but the results (if any) were never revealed. No details were given in his book as to who the "gringo" was, where he came from, or where he sent the pelt/samples. The other snippet, which Chapman had apparently attempted unsuccessfully to substantiate, was that a living mono rey had allegedly once been exhibited at Bolivia's Santa Cruz Zoo! (This zoo is known in full as the Santa Cruz de la Sierra Municipal Zoo to distinguish it from others.)
Also worthy of note here is the existence of centuries-old carvings and statues depicting large, tailless, ape-like beasts, found among the crumbling relics from long-gone civilisations in various South American (and also Mexican) localities. Just coincidence – or representations of genuine creatures? There is even an unequivocally ape-like mask preserved at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History, which had been carved in stone by Costa Rica's Guetar Indians and dates from 1200 to 1500 AD.
At one time, a major zoological stumbling block to accepting the possibility that any such entities actually do exist today in Latin America was the absence of fossil precedents. That all changed in 1995, however, with the publication of a paper by American anthropologist Dr Walter Hartwig in the Journal of Human Evolution, which documented the remains of a very sizeable Pleistocene monkey discovered in the Lagoa Santa cave system of Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil. In fact, this large-bodied species had originally been described as long ago as 1838, by Danish naturalist Peter Lund, who had named the extinct species Protopithecus brasiliensis. However, later publications concerning it had not examined the original fossils and had underestimated this species' actual size. In his paper, however, Hartwig rectified that error, and estimated that P. brasiliensis may well have been more than twice as massive as any living New World monkey.
Reconstruction of Cartelles coimbrafilhoi (© Hodari Nundu)
Just a year later, on 23 May 1996, Hartwig published a second Protopithecus paper, this time in Nature and co-authored with Brazilian palaeontologist Dr Castor Cartelle. In it, they described a near-complete skeleton, which had been found in 1992 within Pleistocene cave deposits in Brazil's 60-mile-long Toca da Boa Vista, the longest cave in the Southern Hemisphere, located in the Brazilian state of Bahia. Intriguingly, this skeleton combined a howler monkey-like vocal sac with a spider monkey-like cranium, and sported a robust body with limbs adapted for brachiation (arm-swinging locomotion), similar to both spider monkeys and woolly monkeys (and also Old World gibbons).
The giant species represented by it, which would have weighed around 50 lb (in comparison, a marimonda spider monkey weighs 13-23 lb), is now housed within the spider monkey subfamily, Atelinae. Moreover, after detailed studies it was considered sufficiently distinct from the earlier Protopithecus material to warrant its reclassification as a new species (and genus) in its own right, which in 2013 was formally christened Cartelles coimbrafilhoi in a Journal of Human Evolution paper written by Drs Lauren B. Halenar and Alfred L. Rosenberger.
Also found in that same cave and at the same time was a near-complete skeleton of another, hitherto-unknown, species of giant Pleistocene ateline monkey. In a Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, USA paper published on 25 June 1996, Cartelle and Hartwig duly christened this new species Caipora bambuiorum (after the caipora, a small, peccary-riding humanoid entity in Brazilian Tupi-Guarani mythology), which would have weighed around 45 lb in life. And in 2000, after co-leading a palaeontological expedition to Toca de Boa Vista, Hartwig announced that thousands of fossils, mostly from extinct mammals, had been unearthed there – including the skull of a 55-lb giant spider monkey, over twice the size of any species alive today.

So perhaps it is premature after all to dismiss entirely the prospect that the Neotropical (platyrrhine) primate lineage may indeed have evolved a larger, ape-like representative via convergent evolution, one that occupies some of the ecological niches filled in the Old World by the apes, and which still awaits formal zoological discovery and recognition.
A very exciting possibility if true, that's for sure!
Further information concerning the history of Ameranthropoides loysi (including evidence supporting the intriguing prospect that some additional photographs taken by de Loys of his spider monkey in Ameranthropoides pose may also exist - click here for my examination of this possibility on ShukerNature too) can be found in my book Extraordinary Animals Revisited. It also features on its front cover a colourised version of de Loys's notorious yet never-to-be-forgotten South American 'ape' photograph – truly a cryptozoological icon, albeit for all the wrong reasons.

Interesting that some scientists were ignored when they had evidence that Loy's perpetuated a fraud.Montandon sounds like an icon for Dr.James Watson.

You seem to have the knack for for finding truth that history had buried.

Thanks everyone for your kind remarks, I'm glad that you enjoyed my investigation of this tenacious hoax.
Just found your site from a link in an MU article. Was looking through your posts because I wanted to ask about this picture as it has always fascinated me, so I was thrilled to find this post. Heading back to look through all the old posts on this awesome site....

Training and career development includes a combination of work experiences, formal training, networking, and a formal course of study that updates personal skills and knowledge.
Continued career development and progression are fundamental in any form of profession. In counselling this is generally conducted in a structured way that incorporates further courses, extended learning programmes and continual self-development and self-awareness.
Although, currently in the UK, counsellors do not have to be professionally registered in order to practice, increasing interest in this field will mean that registration will soon be necessary, and that all counsellors will have to show evidence of graduate quality training. Having completed an accredited training programme or course will ensure your skills are of the required standard to meet with any qualifying criteria.
Enhancing the counselling skills you already have can be done in a variety of ways. Creating a Career Development programme that works best for you is the most important requirement.
Resume writing and interview skills workshop.
This is a recent addition to the types of courses already available to prospective counsellors. Integrative Counselling offers students the opportunity to combine study with work, and to build on the connections between the two forms of learning. This course is ideal for students wanting to develop their skills as a counsellor, or for those wishing to enhance their current practice.
Substantial experience in the field or in a voluntary capacity, and at least a Level 3 qualification in Counselling Skills are the course entry requirements, although students not meeting this criteria may apply for a Certificate in Counselling Studies and then transfer onto the Integrative course.
Integrative Counselling provides a professional and academic training programme, which students can use to enhance their reflective counselling skills in an up-to-date manner.
Most additional training offers the student the opportunity to enhance their skills, develop further understanding and techniques, and the opportunity to make steady progression on their chosen career path. Developing a career in counselling is no different to working your way up the ladder in any other profession. In order to attain a better level of understanding of the job you do, and the major requirements, counsellors will have to undertake additional training whilst working as counsellors in their preferred specialist field.
Job diversification usually requires that the applicant takes on further training – either on the job or as a course or series of courses. Exploring formal counselling roles, whilst adding to your skills and knowledge, will provide students with options to develop their skills in a number of ways. Because networking opportunities often arise from being in the environment you wish to work in, students will be able to sample current counselling research ideas alongside other like-minded people studying for similar qualifications.
Although career advancement can never be guaranteed, further training and career development provide the necessary level of understanding and skills needed to make career progress within the competitive field of counselling.


FAQ / Ask a ?
Fixed annuities provide a guaranteed minimum interest rate and are considered savings instruments. Insurance companies issue all fixed annuities. They are not government or bank obligations, so naturally they are not FDIC insured. However, fixed annuities have an extraordinary record of safety and offer other benefits.
Prior to the late 1970s annuities were primarily used as a retirement income vehicle. The textbook definition of an annuity in those days was "A periodic income for a specified length of time, for life, or a combination of the two." Today, however, annuities can mean much more.
Today, most people do not convert the money they have in their annuity into a guaranteed income stream (called annuitization); instead, they treat the annuity value they have accumulated as any other asset. Anecdotal evidence suggests that almost all of these accumulated annuity values are passed onto the heirs in a big lump sum and not turned into an income stream by the buyers of the annuities. The consensus is that less than 2% of deferred annuities are annuitized.

"Dumbo" Takes Flight
In Disney-fashion, the new version of "Dumbo" is shot well, has great sound and graphics. Directed by Tim Burton, the film is dark and moody.
There are many nods to the 1941 original Dumbo, which was animated. For example, in one of the early scenes, we see a stork fly over the train car signifying that Mrs. Jumbo has given birth to Dumbo, just like in the classic. Also, in the beginning and again at the end, we see some white mice, a tribute to Timothy Q. Mouse, the small white mouse that helps Dumbo soar in the animated original.
The premise of the film is similar to the original: a baby elephant with oversized ears is the joke of traveling circus. When the kids discover Dumbo can fly, they make him an instant success at the circus.
SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT – In director Tim Burton's all-new live-action adventure "Dumbo," former circus star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) are charged with caring for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. Expanding on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight, "Dumbo" flies into theaters on March 29, 2019. ©2018 Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Soon, others want to cash in on Dumbo's success. Enter over-the-top entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere, played by Michael Keaton, who makes Dumbo the star of his theme park, Dreamland. Aerial artist Colette Marchant portrayed by Eva Green plays Dumbo's co-star as they fly around Dreamland. But the park isn't as dreamy as it seems.
DREAMING BIG — In Tim Burton's all-new, live-action reimagining of "Dumbo," persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton) decides that a young elephant from a struggling circus belongs in his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Directed by Burton and produced by Katterli Frauenfelder, Derek Frey, Ehren Kruger and Justin Springer, "Dumbo" flies into theaters on March 29, 2019. © 2018 Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
The themes of this movie are relatable. First, there's the strong bond between parent and child as exhibited between Dumbo and his mother. It's emotional when Mrs. Jumbo and Dumbo are separated.
MEET MEDICI — In Tim Burton's all-new, live-action reimagining of "Dumbo," struggling circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) is disappointed to learn that a newborn elephant has enormous ears. But when Medici realizes that the elephant can fly, the circus' return to prosperity suddenly becomes a real possibility. Directed by Burton and produced by Katterli Frauenfelder, Derek Frey, Ehren Kruger and Justin Springer, Disney's all-new, live-action reimagining of "Dumbo" flies into theaters on March 29, 2019. Photo by Jay Maidment © 2018 Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
The circus owner, Danny DeVito who's well cast as Max Medici, decides to sell Mrs. Jumbo once he sees her baby has big ears. Devito has the perfect persona, attitude and energy for the role.
BATHTIME — In Disney's live-action reimagining of "Dumbo," Milly Farrier—the daughter of a former circus star charged with caring for a newborn elephant—quickly embraces the newest member of their circus family. Featuring Nico Parker as Milly, "Dumbo" opens in U.S. theaters on March 29, 2019…© 2019 Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
This theme plays out with the human characters, as well. Children Milly, played by Nico Parker and Joe, played by Finley Hobbins reunite with their father, Holt Farrier, portrayed by Colin Farrell, who has just returned home from war and is missing an arm. The character's wife has died while he was deployed.
The next message is about the importance of respecting and taking care of animals. For example, a circus worker who does not respect Mrs. Jumbo, suffers a dramatic fate. Karma perhaps for not respecting the pachyderm.
I liked the film but I did have a problem with how they handled time periods. There are many anachronistic things that trouble me. For example, in the beginning of the film, we're told the timeframe is 1919 but then Dreamland seems far too advanced for that time period. And the ringleader is voiced by the "Let's Get Ready to Rumble" guy who announced, "Let's Get Ready for Dumbo."
TRUE LOVE — When former circus star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) is charged with taking care of a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus, he's surprised by just how quickly his children (Finley Hobbins and Nico Parker) fall for the peculiar pachyderm. Directed by Tim Burton and produced by Katterli Frauenfelder, Derek Frey, Ehren Kruger and Justin Springer, Disney's all-new, live-action reimagining of "Dumbo" flies into theaters on March 29, 2019. © 2018 Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Overall, the film was enjoyable and a pretty nice adaptation from the animated classic Disney fans have loved for years. The movie opens today – March 29, 2019.

You are currently browsing the experiment tag archives.
Another "experimental" technique for playing around with film and photography, Redscale is where you load the film backwards in the camera. That is, instead of the emulsion facing the lens, you load it so the emulsion is towards the backplate and the back of the film is towards the lens.
Redscale, like cross-processing, is another one of those well-known techniques that I'm only just trying out now.
This technique mostly only makes sense with colour negatives. The idea is that film for colour prints includes a red mask in its base layer. If you look at processed colour negatives you will see they do have an overall red, orange, or brownish tone to them. When using the film as intended, this has no effect on your pictures as the light coming in through the lens strikes the emulsion before getting to that red mask.
When the film is loaded backwards however, the light has to pass through the mask before getting to the emulsion, giving the pictures a red or orange tone. There can be additional strange colour effects as some films employ additional colour filtering in between the layers of emulsion, and when using the film 'backwards' everything is in the wrong order.
The four images above all came from the same roll of film. I found that the amount of red varies with the exposure, as the longest exposure had the most non-red in it. These were all shot with my beat-up Holga, using medium-format ISO 100 colour negative "redscale" film, processed and scanned at home.
I'm going to try some more of this redscale stuff. I had been thinking to try it with a faster film, but I've read that faster films have darker anti-halation coatings which nullify the speed advantages. I might try it anyways just to be sure.


If you like non-stop, in your face guitar speed and bass bounce with a side of ska... then be ready to be floored. This formula mixed with the intensity of staggered breakdowns and a vocal style reminiscent of early American Steel is enough to stop you in mid-sentence; no joke. This album is a precursor to this Colorado band's involvement with UW. We're bringing them East, so be ready.

The band was born a bit 'for fun in 2005 from an idea by Adriano Guerra and Fabio Bernasconi, respectively guitarist and singer of Berna e le sue Anomalie, who want to try their hand at a new musical experience also modifying their roles: Adriano switches to battery and Fabio on bass. Meanwhile to the other instruments alternate friends and supporters of The Beatles.
The first sessions in the studio are being addressed with student spirit and unpretentious, with the sole purpose of having fun playing the greatest hits of the Beatles discography.
After a few months the singer-guitarist Claudio Callegaro joined the band that with his commitment to the dual role allow to start looking for a stable equilibrium of the band as well as allow to deal with songs by the Beatles' with finest arrangements.
The tests continue diligently and progress in this period are significant enough to push the band to complete the training and expand the repertoire in anticipation of possible public performances; for some months, therefore, some musicians alternate in the group including Alessandro Tricoli, Daniele Diliberto and Alessandro Della Togna.
It 's only in early 2006 that stability is regained with the arrival of Roberto Giada, big fan of the Beatles and Frank Zappa, on lead guitar and backing vocals and Carlo Munaretto on bass to replace Fabio.
With this line up the first public performance happens at the 8th edition of the Venezia Suona musical event.
The work in the studio continues with the intention of improving the performance getting as close as possible to the Beatles sound. Is called the keyboardist and friend Dario Sevieri (formerly Berna e le sue Anomalie, Caraibi Near, Maya, Allen Grey...) as the fifth Beatle.
After three years of fining with many live performances, the constant presence at the Beatles' Day editions of Brescia, participation in various competitions and radio broadcasts, in early 2009 on bass, instead of Carlo, succeeded Francesco Patané, coming as Dario from Caraibi Near.
At the end of 2009, Dario left the band, that returns to four elements representing faithfully the original line up of the Fab Four.
Since 2009 to now, the band had no further changes and through the costant and methodic study of the sheets music can fully represent the Beatles atmosphere.

20 TV Shows for Couples
Leave a Comment / Hobbies, Relationships / By Brittany / April 15, 2020 April 20, 2020 / 6 minutes of reading
Hey guys, welcome back! I am back with another quarantine themed post to help you get through this rough time. Dalton's got you covered with the food (if you missed his grilled cheese post check it out) and I have you covered with the entertainment. Today, I want to share our favourite TV shows to watch together. I do want to give a slight disclaimer to people who love fantasy shows, I am not a huge fan of these types of shows and neither is Dalton so this category will not be included. Sorry in advance if this is your favourite genre. That being said keep reading for some great ideas to binge-watch together.
Entourage: This is an amazing HBO show that consists of 8 seasons and a movie. It follows the life of a movie star and his friends.
Suits: This show was one that Dalton and I came across and fell in love with immediately. It follows the life of a genius and a highly recognized New York lawyer. Their dynamic really makes the show work.
Atypical: This Netflix drama didn't seem like something Dalton and I would love at the first. However, as the story progressed we really enjoyed the storyline and the characters. This show follows the life of a young man with autism, how he copes and lives his life.
Big Mouth: This is a hilarious Netflix show that took both Dalton and me by surprise. Don't be fooled by the cute animation as it is a filthy and hilarious show. It follows a young boy and his friends through the struggle of puberty.
Modern Family: We love this lighthearted show. It has many seasons to binge-watch on the couch together. It follows 1 extended family that is very colourful and hilarious.
Silicon Valley: This HBO show is a new one for us. We have been enjoying it so far. It is based around the technology industry and one group of up and coming tech gurus.
The Circle USA
Big Brother Canada
The Circle USA: A new addition to the reality TV series line up but quickly became a favourite of ours. It's a Netflix original that is an experiment all about social media.
The Challenge: I would say that this is probably our overall favourite show. We actually bonded over The Challenge when we first met and binge-watched an entire season together. If you've never seen it, it's a MTV original which takes you on a wild journey into a house with some of the most athletic, dramatic and intense people.
Big Brother Canada: I've always been obsessed with reality TV and I've definitely rubbed off on Dalton. Big Brother Canada hits home for us as it is obviously Canadian and is filmed in Toronto.
Boy Meets World: The Challenge may be our favourite show together but this was Dalton's favourite show from a very young age. I remember watching it with him for the first time. It's beautiful when you get to share a part of your partner's past. I always loved Boy Meets World but I love it even more because my hubby loves it so much.
8 Simple Rules: This show doesn't have a lot of seasons as the main character tragically passed away. It was a beloved show by both Dalton and me as kids.
Friends: "…the one where everyone loves friends." I mean it's now a classic show that everyone loves. Its lighthearted, funny and everyone can relate. If you haven't seen even an episode of Friends you must live under a rock.
His Honourable Mentions
Ballers: As a big sports fan (especially football) and having a business background, Ballers is a dual-threat to watch. This show is focused on the world of a sports agent, managing the egos and drama that come with their athletes.
The 100: This show takes a futuristic/Sci-Fi twist on humankind. In an attempt to save the human race, residents of the Ark must return to what they assumed was a barren Earth.
Arrow: Superhero fans will enjoy this one. The main character, Oliver Queen is a hooded vigilante, dedicated to protecting his city.
Futurama: The crude humour (similar to that of Family Guy or The Simpsons) creates a snicker-filled 30 minutes. Growing up, this would have been on the 'unapproved' TV show list but that didn't stop 10-year-old me from watching it.
Her Honourable Mentions
Grey's Anatomy: Anyone who knows me knows I am definitely obsessed with this show. I have watched it through and through 5 times. The crazy thing is I would take on the task again tomorrow and would still cry at all the sad parts. Grey's Anatomy is a medical, drama show that takes you through the different and challenging lives of surgeons.
Sex and the City: I believe every girl in her 20's should watch Sex and the City at least once. It's a timeless story of friends and love in New York City.
One Tree Hill: A show that I grew up with. It's a show that I have watched over and over and I still can see 14 years old me all wrapped up in Peyton's every tragic word. It's your normal teenage drama show but something about it hits home for me.
You: Another new addition within the last couple of years. I was quickly submerged into the story behind YOU. It's an 'on the edge of your seat' type of show. Netflix really hit it out of the park in my opinion with this one.
I've always been a TV show fanatic, so this was an exciting post for me to share with you guys. I truly hope you found your next binge-worthy show. If you haven't done so yet get your submissions in for our giveaway! There are daily entries available, so signup now! That's all for me this week, I hope everyone is staying in, staying safe and healthy. I will talk to all of you next week.

4 Must Have Fantasy Football Trophies For your League
With the 2018 football season in full swing, fantasy football participants are focused on using every possible nugget of information. The goal is to be the best among a particular group of friends, co-workers or acquaintances, with a possible fantasy football trophy being the ultimate prize.
The type of fantasy football trophies available can vary when recognizing success over the course of a season. At the same time, some groups like adding a little fun to the festivities by including fantasy league trophies for those unfortunate souls who might otherwise want to forget their lack of success during the year.
In some situations, a group can keep things simple by awarding fantasy football shirts to recognize championship-caliber skill when it comes to their cumulative weekly selections. However, for those feel that a trophy is a more relevant way than fantasy football shirts to have an impact, listed below are four fantasy league trophies that should be in your group's must-have category:
The Thinker Trophy
Success when it comes to fantasy football may have a tinge of luck occasionally attached, but a lot of work also goes into that achievement. Besides accessing pertinent data and keeping abreast of the playing status of individual players, winning or even just thriving in this hobby means being able to astutely strategize your moves.
Recognizing such skills is why being able to award a fantasy football trophy to someone who's determined to think their way to a title can add to the fun. This person doesn't even have to have the best record when the fantasy football trophies are handed out, which helps avoid an all-or-nothing approach that turns some people off.
The Booby Prize
Sometimes, success just isn't in the cards for a participant and they find themselves at the bottom of the heap at the end of the year. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, some groups will recognize this dubious achievement with a trophy.
The humorous aspects involved can focus on things like a toilet or horse's rear end, which should give all involved a good chuckle. Even the honoree can find something to smile about as they commit to a better approach in the future.
The Burst Through Trophy
Some fantasy participants either have success in their first year or show solid improvement from the previous year, efforts that should be recognized. That's possible with a Burst Through trophy that emphasizes the sudden emergence that's occurred.
Watching someone come out of nowhere to have success in fantasy football can be exciting, yet nerve-wracking to fellow participants. This is another case where actually winning the top prize isn't required, but offering this accolade may help inspire others to try for it next year.
The Championship Trophy
Of course, the champion should always be recognized with a fantasy football trophy for their achievement. Success over an extended period can be acknowledged with things like a Super Bowl trophy replica, a tower-like trophy or even a ring.
These can then be prominently displayed in a home to let the outside world know of this success, something that can perpetually serve as an ego-booster. The more dramatic this type of award, such as the Ultimate Trophy from MyDraftDay.com, the more likely a group may see a potential boost in participants.
Getting these fantasy league trophies is as simple as buying them from MyDraftDay.com. Besides fantasy football trophies, we have a variety of fantasy football shirts that make this hobby more inclusive for all involved. We look forward to serving your needs.

One of the Great Early Maps of West Africa With Significant Manuscript Annotations
Important early map of West Africa showing the coastal region from the Canary Islands to the Bight of Benin and São Tomé and Principe. This a striking, dark impression of the Carol Allard state of the map with numerous annotations in a contemporary hand.
The title cartouche attributes the map to an earlier manuscript sketched by Francisco Revelasco and drafted by Luis Teixeira ca. 1600; Teixeira was an important cartographer during the Iberian Union (1580-1640). The title reads in translation from the original Latin:
Depiction of the expansive and gold-rich kingdom of Guinea in Africa, which stretches from the Atlantic islands popularly called the Cape Verde Islands to the river in Benin on which the great and royal city of Benin lies, and from there to the promontory of Lopez Gonsalvez, drawn by S. Rovelasco and executed in fine line by Ludovicus Texera [Luis Teixeira], chief cosmographer to the Spanish King. A book with an extensive depiction of these regions was published in the same year by P.D.M. [Pieter de Marees]
Based on reports and testimony from travelers like the merchant Menda Motta, the map shows a densely detailed coastline filled with rivers, fishing villages, great cities in Benin and Biafra, as well as what are referred to as castles—fortified positions from which Europeans traded with the interior according to rules largely set by local rulers. One of the first of these was erected by the Portuguese in 1482; it is known as Mina (or Elmina) and is located on the Gold Coast in what is today Ghana.
European castles, controlled variously by the Portuguese, Dutch, English, French, German principalities, Danes, and Swedes, dot the coastline, but that is where their influence, and geographic knowledge, stopped. To hide the lack of knowledge of and power over inland Africa, this map is augmented with two vignettes depicting scenes from the Gulf of Guinea region. They are framed in handsome strapwork. To the right is a procession of nobles entering the city of Benin, while to the left is a scene showing traditional music and dance.
These embellishments are joined by three grand thirty-two-point compass roses (and one sixteen-point half rose) placed in the Atlantic. Two large European ships patrol the waters, as does a stately sea monster. Both the title cartouche (right) and the scale (lower left) are framed in rich strapwork.
Manuscript annotations
This example is particularly spectacular due to its extensive manuscript annotations in a contemporary hand. The largest of these is a block of text in the bottom margin describing the geography of Guinea and the Atlantic islands. Searches of the Latin phrases reveal no clear source, suggesting the text could be original.
Elsewhere, the annotations correct and augment the cartography of the map. In the north, the coastline has been extended to the Strait of Gibraltar, while the Madeira islands are included outside the map's border. These are accompanied by further descriptions of the Canary Islands which cite contemporary sources.
The Cape Verde islands are also extended and expanded. A note identifies them as the Hesperides, as they were called by Ptolemy, representing the westernmost islands known in the ancient world. Early modern geographers variably identified the Hesperides as the Cape Verde, Canary, and Madeira archipelagos.
On the African continent, mountains have been added in the northwest. As one follows the coast south, the annotator has added additional placenames, as well as alternative names for certain features. He also corrects the placement of certain names, as is the case with Cabo de Verga. The southernmost note, in the right margin, explains that the island of Principe pertains to the Portuguese Crown.
Europeans in Africa to the seventeenth century
The first Europeans to reach sub-Saharan Africa were the Portuguese, who sailed to the Senegal River in 1442. In the three decades prior to this voyage, the Portuguese had established several fortifications along the coast of Morocco. By the 1470s, the Portuguese had established trade relations with West African leaders from Senegal to Ghana. Initially, informal trade models, wherein Europeans settled in local communities in tiny numbers and created trading networks (often led by their African wives), were more common, but these quickly gave way to the factory system by the seventeenth century.
Elmina, established on the Gold Coast in 1482, was the prototype for the trading factory; it was a location for representatives of African kingdoms to meet with the Portuguese and trade, while the Portuguese could store goods and load their ships. This system kept the Europeans relatively contained on the coast. At this time, the Portuguese were especially interested in trading for gold and, increasingly, in enslaved persons.
By the end of the sixteenth century, the Portuguese factories were threatened by Dutch incursions. By 1650, practically all of the Portuguese coastal castles were in Dutch hands. They were also interested in enslaved persons, as well as ivory, animal hides, and textiles. Other European nations followed suit in the later half of the seventeenth century. By this time, the trade in enslaved persons was coming to dominate European commerce with Africa. Eventually, 12.5 million Africans would be transported to the Americas as enslaved labor; many thousands more perished en route to the castles.
Sources for the map
The original manuscript upon which this map is based is credited to Luis Teixeira. Teixeira was one of the most prominent members of a famous family of Portuguese mapmakers. The family was headed by Pero Fernandes (two known charts from ca. 1525 and 1528), father of Luis Teixeira, Marcos Fernandes Teixeira, and (most likely) Domingos Teixeira. Luis has two cartographer sons of his own, João Teixeira Albernaz I and Pedro Teixeira Albernaz.
Luis has thirty-five charts attributed to him. While his place and date of birth are unknown, Luis took an exam to gain permission to make navigational charts in 1564. A permit from 1569 survives, detailing that Luis was responsible to providing the royal fleets with charts and instruments. He is also known for his surveys of Brazil and the Azores and a significant map of Japan. His reputation preceded him; he was admired by Abraham Ortelius and Jodocus Hondius in the Low Countries and Spanish officials (Portugal and Spain were united administratively from 1580 to 1640, which is why he is listed as a cosmographer for Spain in the title of this map).
Little is known about Francisco Revelasco beyond his work on this map. Revelasco and Teixeira created the manuscript version of this map ca. 1600.
States of the map
The map was originally intended to be published in 1602 in Pieter de Marees's Beschryvinge ende Historische wtrhael rtnt Gout koninckrijck tan Gunea, andres de Goutczete de Mina genaemt (Amsterdam, 1602). However, no known copy of this first printed state survives.
The map was engraved by Dutch mapmaker Baptist van Deutecum and released in ca. 1650 (not before ca. 1643) by Hugo Allard. This is a later edition re-issued by Hugo Allard's son, Carol.
OCLC lists four institutional examples of this map (Harvard, Oxford, the British Library, the University of Amsterdam). This is the first time we have encountered the map in thirty years. Finally, this is the only known example to have such rich manuscript annotations.

Carel Allard Biography
Carel (Carol) Allard (Allardt) (1648–1709) was an engraver and publisher based in Amsterdam. Part of a prominent family of Dutch mapmakers, publishers, and print sellers, his father was engraver and publisher Hugo Allard (1627–1684), who left his business to Carel upon his death. Carel published anything in demand, including maps, topography, ethnography, newsprints, and restrikes of old plates of artistic prints, many of which likely came from his father's stock. In 1706, Carel gave his copperplates to his son Abraham Allard, before going bankrupt.

Marguerite Verboeckhoven (Schaarbeek, 14 juli 1865 - Elsene, 8 augustus 1949) was een Belgische kunstschilderes die voornamelijk symbolistisch aandoende marines schilderde.

Familiekundige gegevens
Marguerite Verboeckhoven was de dochter van uitgever Louis-Hippolyte Verboeckhoven en van Rosalie-Françoise Pierard, kleindochter van de dierenschilder Eugène Verboeckhoven en achterkleindochter van de beeldhouwer Barthélemy Verboeckhoven. Ze woonde in de Robianostraat 28 (ca. 1902), Vifquinstraat, 41 (64) te Brussel, later Waverse Steenweg 249.

Korte biografie
Marguerite Verboeckhoven groeide op in een begoed, cultureel milieu. Ze ontving haar artistieke opleiding in het atelier van Ernest Blanc-Garin, die een speciaal atelier voor dames en juffrouwen met schilderkunstige aspiraties openhield. Achteraf werd ze zelf monitrice in het atelier Blanc-Garin. Daar maakte ze kennis met kunstenaars als Edwin Ganz, Lucien Wollès en Henri Evenepoel.

Net als Blanc-Garin verbleef ze veel en graag in Knokke, waar in de tachtiger en negentiger jaren van de negentiende eeuw een inspirerende kunstenaarskolonie actief was.

In 1888 was ze medestichtster van de "Cercle des Femmes Peintres". Andere leden waren Berthe Art, Marie De Bièvre, Marguerite Dielman, M. Heyermans, Alice Ronner, Rosa Venneman en Emma Verwee. Ze organiseerden vier tentoonstellingen (1888, 1890, 1891, 1893) waarna de groep wellicht uit elkaar viel.

Oeuvre en thematiek
Marguerite Verboeckhoven legde zich speciaal toe op het schilderen van zeezichten en binnen dit genre ging haar interesse dan nog voornamelijk naar de weergave van de zee bij avond of nacht. Ze was gefascineerd door de effecten van een fosforescerende zee.

Er worden nog regelmatig schilderijen van haar aangeboden op kunstveilingen. Bij Christie's in Londen werd in april 2005 een olieverf van haar verkocht voor £ 1320., bij De Vuyst werd op 2 maart 2013 een werk geveild voor 5000 euro.

Tentoonstellingen
Parijs, Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, 1896: "Impressions synthétiques"
Parijs, Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, 1897: "Duister weer", "Noorderwind", "Kalm weer", "Zonsondergang"
Parijs, Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, 1898: "Na de equinox"
Parijs, Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, 1899: "Dieppe"
Gent, Salon 1902: "Avondschemering te Dieppe", "Laatste lichtschijn te Knokke"
In 1909 had ze een tentoonstelling in de Cercle Artistique et Littéraire (Wauxhall) in Brussel, samen met Georges Van Zevenberghen.
Op haar 75ste kreeg ze in 1940 nog een individuele tentoonstelling in Brussel.
Brussel, Charlier Museum: tentoonstelling "Vrouwelijke Zinnen" (9 maart 2007 - 15 juni 2007)
