Okinawa prefektur (沖縄県; Okinawa-ken; okinawianska: uchina-ken) är Japans sydligaste prefektur. Den består av den större delen av Ryukyuöarna, en över 1000 kilometer lång ökedja med ett 70-tal öar. Ögruppen sträcker sig från söder om Kyushu till Taiwan, men de allra nordligaste öarna är en del av Kagoshima prefektur. Residensstad är Naha, som är belägen på den södra delen av den största och mest välbefolkade ön, Okinawa (Okinawa Hontō). De omtvistade Senkakuöarna administreras också under Okinawas prefektur.

Historia

Det är osäkert när öarna upptäcktes, de första dokumenterade kinesiska anteckningarna härrör från år 603 då Kina skickade en delegation till Okinawa med bud om att de skulle underkasta sig den kinesiske kejsaren. Okinawas befolkning vägrade och år 610 invaderades ön för att bli en kinesisk vasallstat de närmaste 500 åren.

Det första lokala kungadömet grundades redan på 1100-talet av Shunten från Urasoedynastin och varade till 1300-talet då riket splittrades i tre mindre riken Chūzan, Hokuzan och Nanzan men under en samlad ledning. Shō Hashi, härskaren av Chūzan, annekterade grannen Hokuzan år 1416 och grannen Nanzan år 1429 och återförenade riket till Kungariket Ryūkyū. Okinawas fördelaktiga läge i Östkinesiska havet och dess relativa närhet till Kina, Korea, Japan, Taiwan och Filippinerna gjorde Ryūkyūriket till en rik handelsstat. Många av slottsruinerna på öarna, de så kallade Gusuku, byggdes under denna period.

1609 invaderades Ryūkyūriket av den japanska Satsumaklanen som kontrollerade området i södra Japan som idag är Kagoshima prefekturen. Kungariket förblev en oberoende stat men var i själva verket under direkt kontroll av Satsuma.

1854 besökte amerikanske  Matthew C. Perry samtidigt som även andra västnationer som Storbritannien, Frankrike och Ryssland försökte inleda handelsförbindelser med Okinawa. Detta ledde till att Japan 1868 stationerade militärpersonal på ön.

1879 upplöste Japan Ryūkyūriket under den så kallade Meijirestaurationen och införlivade området som Okinawa prefektur i Japan.

Efter andra världskriget och slaget om Okinawa 1945 hamnade Okinawa i 27 år under amerikansk administration. Under denna period uppfördes ett flertal militärbaser på bland annat huvudön Okinawa och USA har än idag militärbaser här.

Den 15 maj 1972 blev Okinawa återigen en del av Japan samtidigt med en stor amerikansk militär närvaro på ön. Över 50 000 amerikanska militärer är anställda på någon av baserna i området. Samtidigt som detta är en stor inkomstkälla för områdets 1,4 miljoner invånare är den amerikanska närvaron också mycket kontroversiell bland lokalbefolkningen.

Språk och kultur
 Eftersom Okinawa historiskt har varit en oberoende nation och Kungariket Ryūkyū hade närmare förbindelser med Kina än med Japan, så är den okinawiska kulturen och språket väldigt annorlunda än motsvarande på Japans fastland. Det finns ett flertal ryukyuspråk som är mer eller mindre oförståeliga för en japansktalande person. Dessa språk minskar dock i användning sedan den japanska regeringen uppmuntrar bruk av standardjapanska.

 Okinawa är också, på grund av sitt läge och sin historia, mycket mer varierat etniskt sett än övriga delar av Japan. Okinawas befolkning är en unik blandning av malajer från Formosa och Filippinerna, kineser från Kina och japaner från Japan. Kulturellt anses de stå närmare Kina och Filippinerna än det japanska fastlandet.

En av Okinawas mest berömda kulturella exporter är karate. Dess ursprung förmodas vara en blandning av kinesisk Kung-fu och traditionella kampsporter som utövats på ön. Under långa perioder i Okinawas historia har de av Japan varit förbjudna att använda vapen, vilket förmodligen också bidrog till karatens utveckling.

En annan traditionell okinawisk produkt är awamori, brännvin gjort på indicaris importerat från Thailand. Krukmakeri är också en starkt bevarad tradition. Ett annat framstående exempel på okinawisk kultur är sanshin, ett tresträngat instrument nära besläktat med den kinesiska sanxian, och förebild för den japanska shamisen.

Natur och klimat
Okinawa har ett subtropiskt klimat och temperaturen understiger sällan 15 grader ens på vintern . Många av öarna är gamla korallrev vilket har gett öarna många grottor, vilka spelade en viktig roll i Slaget om Okinawa. Gyokusendo, en kalkstensgrotta på södra Okinawa Hontō är ett populärt turistmål.

Okinawa sägs ha Japans vackraste stränder och många korallrev finns i regionen. Djurlivet är till skillnad från resten av Japan mycket rikt.

11 Facts About Bollywood
addpress
Bollywood is India's biggest film industry, and its influence extends far beyond the borders of the country. What do you know about Indian cinema?
India has a rich history of filmmaking dating back to the early 20th century. The Hindi language was developed specifically for films, and the industry grew rapidly after independence from Britain in 1947. Today, Bollywood remains one of the largest movie industries in the world.
Here are 11 facts about Bollywood that you probably didn't know.
2. Farhan Akhtar
3. Dharmendra
4. Rajinikanth
5. Amitabh Bachchan
6. Kareena Kapoor Khan
7. Shah Rukh Khan
8. Aamir Khan
9. Mahesh Bhatt's daughters Pooja and Alia Bhatt have an age gap of 21 years
10. Shatrugan Sinha's daughter Sonakshi looks like a spitting image of his ex Reena Roy
11. Kareena Kapoor attended Saif Ali Khan's first wedding
The Greek God of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan didn't actually make his on-screen debut with the film Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai, but he did appear as a dancer in the film Asha. At that time the actor was only 6 years old.
Many of you may not know this, but even Farhan Akhtar made his Hollywood debut in 2004. According to reports, the actor penned the lyrics for the blockbuster film Bride and Prejudice, which also featured Aishwarya Rai in the lead role. Apparently, she collaborated with her sister for the film's songs as per Javed Akhtar's recommendation. This is news to us!
At the time Sholay was being made, Dharmendra and Hema Malini's love story was flourishing to such an extent that the former paid extra money to the light boys during the shoot. Wonder why? The actor, apparently, wanted to continue shooting romantic scenes with Hema Malini again and again.
Many of us believe that the dialogue of Enna Rascala was originally by Rajinikanth but this is not true. The tagline Enna Rascala, Mind it, yes, became very popular and even if one is not associated with South Indian films, most of us know this line and have heard it a lot. But it turns out, the actor never used it. This dialogue was actually dubbed into a Tamil film and is somehow linked to Rajinikanth but its original source is unclear.
Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan also has a hidden talent, which never came to light. The actor is actually ambidextrous when it comes to writing, meaning he has the ability to write with both his right and left hand.
Can you imagine if Kareena Kapoor's name is 'Suddhima'? We can't be sure, but apparently, that should have been his name. Kareena is actually inspired by a book, which her mother Babita was reading when she was pregnant. The book she was reading was 'Anna Karenina' by author Leo Tolstoy and that is why she got the name Karenina. so happy!
The king of Bollywood, SRK, has undoubtedly impressed us with his romantic dialogues and acting skills. The actor was a huge fan of watching Hindi films as a child, but when it came to curriculum, Hindi was his least favorite subject. His mother apparently helped him and made a deal, that if he scored well in the subject, she would take him to see a movie. The actor worked hard and scored well, and he was rewarded by seeing Dev Anand's Joshi.
Aamir Khan is called a perfectionist for a reason. The actor is not only good at acting but has also played tennis in school at the national level. Not only this, but Aamir also learned chess from his grandmother, when he was just 6 years old. Apart from playing games on the sets of his films, he has also played chess with champion Viswanathan Anand.
8 Amazing Marvel Endgame Facts You Didn't Know
8 Incredible Facts About WWE You Probably Didn't Know
Mahesh Bhatt's first daughter, Pooja Bhatt is 43 while his youngest, Alia Bhatt is 22.
Rumors still exist of Sonakshi being Reena Roy's real daughter – but what's crazy is their uncanny resemblance!
Kareena Kapoor apparently attended her now-husband's first wedding to his ex, Amrita Singh when she was just 10.

What's your squad like, new signings, etc? Defensively very sound, albeit with two new goalkeepers. Solid in midfield, exciting on the flanks, threadbare in attack as we speak.
Which player would you happily get rid of? The manager has made Marvin Williams available for transfer and he underperformed last year. We couldn't afford to get rid of many, we don't have many.
Depends what you mean by young? Ryan Dickson will make a real impact at left back and Myles Weston could be a real threat in attack. There's no-one coming out of our youth team this year who will feature much although Ryan Blake looks a real prospect at left back.
What's your manager like and will he still be there at the end of the season? Driven, determined and very ruthless - he ditched half a championship winning squad. I suspect other clubs will come looking if we do well but if we do badly he'll get the sack, that's the nature of it.
Are you happy with your Chairman/Backroom staff? Every club would like someone who will throw in billions and ask for nothing back. We have a Brentford fan as an investor who seems to be looking at the bigger picture without gifting silly money. The club is now well run by people who care and a few years of mismanagement is being put right. The manager's back room team is well established and appears to be solid.
Which team do you want to beat the most and why? Huddersfield. If you've ever sat among their fans you'll know why.
Last season was a nightmare only saved by the appointment of Russell Slade who instilled a little pride and fight back into the team. Worst moment losing Jimmy Mcnulty in a freakish accident v Crewe which cost the lad a kidney.
This season hopes are high of a top ten finish with possible play-offs ,I'll go for 8th and hope for a little more.
Good squad this season 7 new additions after releasing 14 surplus to requirements, though disappointed we let O'Sullivan go.
Wouldn't get rid of any though Adam el Abd needs to find some form to figure this season.
I think Thornhill whom we have loaned will do well in this league.
Russell Slade had 13 weeks at the end of last season to revive a dead cert relegation team, he somehow managed this and we stayed up so he is good enough for me.
New chairman this season has loaned the club £90 million interest free to build the new stadium so can't be that bad.
Last season was a mixture of emotions for us. At times, we were good enough to quite literally destroy top teams around us, and other times we were poor enough to lose to some of the clubs struggling near the drop zone. Overall a finish of 11th last season was in my opinion fair as we were far too inconsistent.
This season, with the signings of Dominic Blizzard and Carl Regan, we should see a more consistent Rovers side (Hopefully) with the new additions looking to be quality already in the pre-season, whilst Danny Coles making a return from injury will be a huge boost for us in terms of defensive quality. I therefore expect Rovers to certainly finish in the top half, but hopefully, with a little luck on our side and a decent start to the season, we should see a top 8 finish.
As stated, Blizzard and Regan look to be decent additions to our squad, but the most important thing for us this season is the fact we actually start the season with pretty much a full squad of players to pick from. No injuries to worry about and it looks like we have managed to keep hold of Lambert, so the squad is in a healthy position.
The players which are currently Transfer listed will do. Though Williams I believe should actually stay as I feel he still has something to offer, but the gaffer knows best!
We have a few impressive players in the youth at the moment, but none are really quite ready to come through and play a major part in our league one campaign this season im afraid.
I believe Trollope is one of the best young managers out there at the moment and providing no one comes in to steal him away, he will remain with us for as long as it takes to get us out of league one and into the Coca Cola Championship, and beyond!
Nick Higgs seems to be a decent bloke and looks to do the right thing for Bristol Rovers. I therefore have no problems with him. He backed up Trollope last season and provided him with the cash to buy 3 decent players including the terrific Kuffour who was bargain of the season in league one in my opinion!
Every single team in league one, because that is the aim of the game!
We were good to start off with then almost made it to League 2. Best moment beating Leeds away or MK Dons at home 2-0 down at half time to come back 3-2. My personal favourite was Leicester away 2-2 Draw in the 94th min and none stop singing from 1200 blues keeping the home crowd quiet.
Worst moment: Hereford at home we were the worst I've ever seen and the realisation that we may go down set in.
I think we could suprise a few people we do well against big teams if we can turn our draws in to wins and find a forward who can score we will do very well. I will go for 14th.
Squad is strong in most areas except up front.
Lenny Pidgeley from what I've seen of him will be a better keeper than we has last year. Young Collin will give him good competition.
Midfield is also very strong. If we can keep Cleavland Taylor who when on form can terrorise any fullback, in the league and deliver a wicked cross we should be fine.
The centre 2 of Thirlwell and new signing Tom Tawio(on loan from chelsea)will ensure that not much will pass them. Also going forward from midfield we have the option of Gavin Rothery(unatached former leeds youth) who in spells has looked ok. Mark Bride-Wilkinson can give you creativity and a bit of flair and Player-coach Graham Kavanagh has the football brain and cannon of a shot. Matty Robson our left winger looks a superb signing he has pace to burn and can cross. Connor Tinion a young YTS lad will also get his chance and has looked good on the left wing in pre-season.
Up front is the only issue we are a bit lightweight with Scott Dobie, Gary Madine and convert winger Joe Anyinsah hopefully we will bring in a striker and score some goals?
None at the moment the manager has done the right thing and weeded out the poorer players or troublemakers?
Gary Madine needs a big season if he is to lead the line but I think Tom Tawio will make the most impression.
Greg Abbott had 2 Caretaker stints in charge, now is his big season with his own squad. Him enthusiasm is commended but daft at times a good coach not sure on the management part but so far signs are we are going the right direction.
Not a such we all want an Arab buisnessman to take control. We have 4 men who are suseesful local buisness men holding the fort untill someoe comes in to invest.
Norwich away I used to live there for 5 years and the fans used to take the mick at me supporting little old Carlisle, well look at us now same league!
Well can't get much worse than bottom of the league when most pundits were expecting us to be challenging at the top! Best moment was ending our 19 game run without a win with a home victory over Palace. Worst moment....well that would be the rest of the season! Too many "moments" to choose from.
I hope we'll be challenging for a quick return to The Championship, however money matters behind the scenes are still troubling us. A takeover is being discussed, but is dragging its heels!
So far, three free signings - Christian Dailly from Rangers, Frazer Richardson from Leeds and Miguel Llera from MK Dons. We're top heavy with crap strikers, but our midfield is class - Shelvey, Bailey & Racon - so long as we can survive the transfer window!
Izale McLeod - Pardew wasted £2m on this fella.
Probably Chris Solly as he had a good debut in the last game of last season. Can play either full back position.
Parkinson has had a tough time having to deal with Pardew's rubbish. As far as I'm concerned he has a clean slate for this season and hopefully he'll win us over. However, I've got a feeling he'll be gone by the end of the season.
At this precise moment in time I would have to say "No" re the Chairman. His silence over the takeover is so frustrating, we don't know what is going on. The backroom staff seem to be ok.
Millwall - Local rivalry and as they like to sing "No one likes them"! Scum.
Exeter City – Thanks to Ryan Greenway.
Fared very well, finishing 2nd and had an excellent end to the season. Highlight will have to be the promotion clinching win away to Rotherham, even if we couldn't see the pitch from the stands in the Don Valley Stadium. Lowlight would be losing 1-6 at home to Chesterfield in a bizarre game.
Optimistically I think we could push for a playoff spot but poor pre-season has tempered enthusiasm and hope to consolidate in mid-table.
Lost a couple of useful players in Matt Gill and Dean Moxey, but bought in some new faces and some promising youngsters. Have heard good things about new striker Barry Corr if he stays fit and former Arsenal youngster James Dunne looks classy. We will also be continuing our hugely successful policy of bringing our academy players through into the team. Both Dean Moxey and George Friend (now at Wolves) came through our ranks in recent years and we have number of highly promising youngsters breaking into the team including Liam Sercombe (keep an eye on him). Paul Jones our goalie is continuing to excel.
Not sure we'd happily get rid of anyone. Our squad is formed so that Paul Tisdale can happily change things about and hopefully injuries will have a minimal impact, hence why we haven't had a 20+ goalscorer for a few seasons.
Most likely James Dunne or Liam Sercombe.
Paul Tisdale has achieved God status amongst most Exeter fans. He's an extremely intelligent manager who likes the game played attractively and his man-management seems top notch. I believe he's only lost successive league games once in his time with us. He has said he wants to take the club as far as possible and the Supporters Trust are working furiously to try and provide the tools he needs to continue to develop the team. We're sure he'll be here at the end of the season, but the off season could be another thing altogether if we have a good season.
We are a supporter owned club, I suppose we should be happy with our lot. There are still problems between the Board of Supporters and the fanbase, but in general the club has made giant strides and is continuing to do so. We have exciting developments up ahead. We are probably the most successful implementors of the Director of Football, with Steve Perryman doing great work for the club with the manager, and doing fabulous work to help fundraising for the club.
Not sure, I suppose it would be Yeovil, they are our local rivals in this league and we've never played them before so it would be good to get ahead on the scoresheet. A nice away win at Elland Road on opening day would be a good way to announce our arrival to the League!
With the finances at Priestfield very tight, League One survival is our first priority and anything more will be a bonus. I'll settle for 20th with a decent Cup run that would certainly help to swell the coffers and maybe bring some quality recruits to bolster the first team squad.
Which youngsters will make the biggest impression in your team this season?
ub>Are you happy with your Chairman/Backroom staff?
The chairman is now exiled in Dubai and as nothing much moves without his say so it could turn out to be a frustrating time for many of the staff at Gillingham Football Club. The arrival of coach Mark Robson from Charlton Athletic had a major influence in the change of fortunes at Gills last season and supporters will be hoping he has put pen to paper on the new contract he was offered at the end of last season.
Like many Gills fans of long standing it has to be Swindon Town as the team to beat hopefully both at home and away. An explanation as to why would take more than just a few lines but suffice to say it goes back a long way.
OK but it was horrifying to watch for the second season running the strong centre back/ goalkeeping combination that has been the heart of our improvement as a club again resemble Billy Smart's Circus.
So difficult to tell - a very large turnover of players. It it difficult to think that the replacements at centre back and striker will improve on the departures but other additions seem positive. I'd take 19th now if offered.
When we lost James Brown last year the only exciting players who could do something a bit different in terms of skill or pace (Porter and Robson) have now both left. If Brown is fit and if Boyd is interested we'll be fine. If Brown is injured and Boyd is on the sauce then we're screwed.
The manager got rid of him over the summer.
Hopefully Matty Tymon will 'train on'. This has to be the year he breaks through or he won't.
Competent and unspectacular. He is however honest and he does speak to the fans and that will stand him in good stead.
Not just happy, delighted. Pools haven't balanced the books in ten years. We have a massive imbalance between money through the gate and players wages - and IOR just keep footing the bill. They are the difference between us and being Barnet or Halifax Town. Many fans with short memories like a moan but anyone over thirty (in both age and IQ) knows that IOR are the best thing that has happened to the club in the last 20 years.
There are no words for how much I despise Leeds United. Much bigger clubs than them have come down to League One - in some cases REAL European champions - and showed some sense of humility and acceptance. But not Leeds. Before they arrived in League One I had no feelings whatsoever about Leeds and their fans but to know them is to hate them.
Last season we lost in the playoffs to Millwall but lets not talk about that! Best moment would probably be the Leicester game where we equalised in the last minute in Simon Grayson's first game in front of 33,500 people. Worst moment was probably when we lost 2-0 to Hereford away as I've never felt such harsh feelings against my club then I did at that time! The losses to Millwall and Histon Town were very close behind though!
Our squad i think is a very strong one, if we keep Beckford. We have a new keeper and 2 new defenders to fix our defence. Our midfield is young-ish, are gaining experience and will probably be joined by some new recruits n the coming weeks. Our striking partnership is the best in the league by far in my opinion!
There are a few...Lubomir Michalik, David Prutton, Alan Sheehan, Tom Elliot and Tresor Kandol.
Aidy White. He's only 17 years old and featured a few times last season at left back. This year though he has been tried out at left mid and has been very impressive and I think he will get a more perminent role next season. He will be one of our players of the season I think.
Simon Grayson is a top quality manager! He knows how to get the best out of his players and reads the game very well..He will be here come May I think..
Happy with Ken Bates? You must be joking! That saying though I am grateful to him for saving the club but as soon as a credible offer comes in to buy the club I think he should take it!
Apalling start, mediocre middle, excellent end. A disappointing end to Martin Ling's long tenure at the club, but appalling defeats to the likes of Yeovil, Cheltenham and *spits* Southend proved too much for the fans and the Chairman to take. Geriant Williams really galvanised the side after Christmas, and we were the form team in the division from February to April.
No reason why we can't finish in the top half this time round, though a small squad may take it's toll over the long haul. We'll suprise a few people early on and then fade away. 11th is about realistic.
What's your squad like, new signings, etc? Still no left back, and lacking real quality in all the wide positions. Spine of the side looks exceptionally strong with Mkandawire, Chorley, Thornton, Smith and McGleish. Jamie Scowcroft is an impressive capture, and Adrian Patulea is either going to be a useless or utterly inspired signing.
We haven't got enough players to think about getting rid of any! Though to say that JJ Melligan has a lot to prove is something of an understatement.
Jason Demetriou is nearly ready for Championship football, and has been a vital part of the side for a couple of years now. Young goalkeeper Jamie Jones won the #1 spot last season, and will only get better.
Seems like a great motivator, and soundites in the press are promising. Only signed a 1 year deal, so who knows about the longevity of his stay?
Not really. Now owns the ground and has built us a lego stadium surrounded by a housing estate. All the backroom staff work for his Matchroom organisation on the side.

Brennan delivers fun food to Seuss empire
Georgeanne Brennan, Winters resident and Enterprise food columnist, also is the author of "Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook," with a bright orange Seussian cover.
"It takes a minute for people to understand that it's a cookbook," Brennan said. .
Dr. Seuss fans will be delighted with this concoction and those who dislike Dr. Seuss should steer clear: It is Seuss to the max.
From the signature recipe (mint jelly, cilantro, parsley and avocados make the eggs and ham green) to "Remarkable Foon's Sizzling Hot Pebbles" (red beans) or "Yot in the Pot" (sausage, onion, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, clams – you name it) this is a cookbook for Seuss-loving adults and kids.
"The photographer – Frankie Frankeny -- and I like quirky cross-over books," said Brennan. They first started working on a Harry Potter cookbook project, but J.K. Rowling said no to the idea.
"We thought the Seuss book could be done, but we had to get three approvals with Dr. Seuss' widow having the final say," Brennan said.
And it didn't look like a sure thing. Twice before Seuss cookbook projects had been proposed, but each failed.
And it wasn't necessarily going to be easy. First of all, who ever was going to get the nod had to be able to write cookbooks. In this regard, Brennan is a pro with many cookbooks under her belt. But she also had to be well-versed in the Seuss world – he had, after all, published 44 books.
"What turned the trick for me was my reputation as a cookbook writer," said Brennan. There are many people who know and love Seuss' written word, apparently, but few have the background that Brennan could bring.
"It turns out the widow was a food person and a part owner of a restaurant in La Jolla," said Brennan.
So Brennan and Frankeny got the go-ahead.
Then came the challenge of creating fun real-food recipes that people would actually like to eat. Some cross-over cookbooks look like fun – but nothing you'd actually want to make and/or eat.
"We wanted it to be real but we also wanted to maintain whimsy," she said. For instance, "Nupboards' Nuggets" is a cross between nut brittle and trail mix, made out of items you can find in your cupboards.
"It's homemade granola," Brennan said. "It's loads of fun to make but really wonderful to eat."
On a cold winter night the Hoop-Soup-Snoop Group Potato Soup looks especially tasty. But then so does the Skipper Zipp's Chops and Chips.
And while Brennan is happy with the success of her Seuss cookbook (Random House printed 100,000 copies) she is looking ahead to her newest book, "A Pig in Provence," which she describes as her first non-cookbook, a non-fiction memoir.
"It's the story of truffle-hunting in France, it's a food memoir," she said. "It tells the story of when I first bought a house in Provence 30 years ago."
The book, to be published by Chronicle Books, will be celebrated at a launch party at Chez Panisse in Berkeley on March 20.
"It gives me a chance to write and talk about food and life in a real book instead of in an introduction to a food article in The Enterprise," said Brennan.

I started 2017 with brunch at one of my favorite Harlem spots, Chocolat Restaurant on Fredrick Douglas Blvd. Dubbed the "Ultimate Urban Power Brunch", Chocolat's brunch is moderately priced, tasty and bursting with African-American southern flavors. You must try the red velvet pancakes, which are the perfect combination of sweet, fluffy and savory. You can order these delicious pancakes al la carte or with a tasty order of Fried Chicken. The Savory Shrimp & Grits combination, which is made with a creamy lobster sauce is also a tasty brunch option. And don't forget the Fish Croquette & Cheese Grits, which are to die for. The croquette is deliciously made with a combination of Red Snapper, Crab Meat and Tilapia and is the perfect twist on the traditional "fish and grits" combination.
Overall,if you're looking for a delicious brunch in Harlem, consider giving Chocolat a try. Check out some pictures from brunch below. You can also check out some pictures from happy hour/dinner here.
Why: Chocolat is a full Service bar, lounge and restaurant in Harlem. They also offer weekend Brunch as well. This is a great spot to dine in a chic environment with great food. The After-work bar scene is pretty good for Harlem.

Trees In Fiction And The Treehouses They Inspire
From mythology and religion in the times of norse gods and tapestries, we have had a continued fascination with trees. As they dominated our daily lives we made homes amongst them and treehouses in them. They are the stuff of fiction and wild imaginations and for a lucky few they become tangible play and leisure spaces. We have a look at some iconic treehouses and the stories that inspired them.
From tree to book and back again
The weirwoods in the popular Game of Thrones are sacred trees.
Blue Forest have built numerous treehouses that have been influenced by not only the surrounding landscape but the stories for which they are named. The Sleepy Hollow Tree House is named after the famous story of Sleepy Hollow and matches the secluded darkness of the woods in its design with quirky shapes, while retaining a refined beauty and practicality.
The realm of the fairytale has lived in the hearts of children and adults since before the written word. The Birr Castle Tree House allows the children it was built for to ascend to new heights and play at being Kings and Queens or Princes and Princesses in their play area. To discover a mysterious castle among the trees paints a picture of exhilaration and wonder.
Since then, trees have featured prominently in mythology, often as symbols of the earth, showing life and strength as they grow and renew with each year and live for hundreds more.
In Norse mythology, one such tree is Yggdrasil whose branches reached to the heavens.
Naturally, this prevalence led to the continued use of trees in storytelling, whether in books, on television shows or films, even in video games, the use and roles of trees echoes their continued impressions on world culture and understanding.

Symbolic trees and treehouses
As a very contemporary reference, symbolic trees in fiction appear in the hugely popular Game of Thrones universe. A white-barked Weirwood tree features in Brann's visions as a marker of his future (his next destination).
Beyond their symbolic appearances and representations, trees have quite literally taken on a life of their own.
In the Harry Potter series, The Whomping Willow acts with a discerning mind. It has not only stood for many years but it defends itself from those that might harm it by…well, whomping them.
Several characters in the book even make unconventional use of the tree. As they are unable to build a fort within the tree's branches, they instead find a route beneath the roots to a secret hideout.
Bringing new life to the forest
The small den that the students of Hogwarts utilise pales in comparison to a grand tree figure in fiction, who not only bestows wisdom and brings out courage in a young hero, but due to mystical intervention, is revealed to house a winding dungeon within his trunk.
He is The Great Deku Tree from the video game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and he is the one who sends Link off on his journey to rescue Hyrule. No finer sentient tree is so revered as The Great Deku Tree. He is imposing and powerful but wise and kind.
When trees walk, our fascination intensifies
This year will see a new addition to the trees of faunal hall of fame (and finally someone for Treebeard and The Ents of Lord of the Rings to wander around with), as Marvel brings everlasting space fighter and last of his species, Groot, from comic book to big screen in Guardians of the Galaxy.
He may not be treehouse material but he does come with familiar forest wildlife in the form of his best friend and fellow space-pirate Rocket Raccoon. Who knows what future books and films will be turned into luxurious feats of architecture as imagination inspires more and more treehouses?
Trees around the world have stood for hundreds of years and grown to astounding sizes. No matter how much we know of them, we are still fascinated by their enduring strength and wondrous heights. Given this, it is no surprise then that treehouses still fill us with wonderment and a sense of excitement, whether young or old.

Abstract: Laser removal of biodeteriogen layers warrants detailed studies due to the advantages it brings withrespect to mechanical elimination or the use of biocides. We have investigated elimination of biologicalcrusts on dolomite stones from heritage sites in central Spain. The samples were colonized by epilithiccrustose lichens of different species, such as Caloplaca sp. and Verrucaria nigrescens. A comparative studywas carried out by applying infrared (1064 nm) and ultraviolet (355 nm) nanosecond laser pulses andsequences pulses of the two wavelengths using a Q-switched Nd:YAG system. To detect anatomical andultrastructural damage to the lichens, and to assess possible morphological and chemical changes on theunderlying stone induced by laser irradiation, we used stereomicroscopy, scanning electron microscopywith backscattered electron imaging and Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy. The optimal conditionsfor removal of the colonization crust, while ensuring preservation of the lithic substrate, were obtainedfor dual infrared-ultraviolet sequential irradiation.
