The use of comedy in the classroom is an art long lost. However, the use of humor in classroom, intermixed with technology, can inspire both the teacher and the learners. YouTube has some amazing, funny celebrities who can provide the right kind of motivation for the teachers.
A farceur or a wisecracker can in many ways teach and entertain at the same time, without running the risk of ever losing the class' focus OR inducing sleep. There are numerous studies and research undertaken in the area of 'using humor in the classroom'. Perhaps for the sole reason, that teaching has been sessile for a long time and that reviving the lost art of stand up comedy intermixed with new technology could prove to be like CPR for everyday teaching.
A sly and witty riposte, one that is perspicuously expressed and delivered, is an art long lost, its true, but not one that can not be over time acquired as an essential skill, especially for teachers. One need only makes up one's mind and come out of the box of the limitations of the mind.
A litigious teacher might argue about the "seriousness" of the profession in question and that the theory here presented might question the integrity and result in a mockery rather than an echt enrichment of the same. Condemning this misology (because it could be nothing else but), I am inclined to snub such archaic thoughts with a mot rather than an essay. But keeping in line with the lengths I must achieve with my present piece, let me put forward theories and thoughts that do not belong to me, and that would perhaps authenticate my present synopsis.
Were you to ask a boffin about the reasons why learners respond better to teachers using humor in classroom, I am sure (s)he would tell you that, "Humor in educational settings serves a variety of positive functions beyond simply making people laugh. Humor builds group (as in class) cohesion. People respond more positively to each other when humor is present. It brings them together. Humor can facilitate cohesion by softening criticism. Research also establishes that humor helps individuals cope with stress. It relaxes them. (Source: Faculty Focus)".
I do not accuse teachers of a lackadaisical approach or make assumptions that not enough is being done in the particular field of 'gag and banter' as is to be expected of a teacher. Not everyone is gifted with the gift of gag. I simply emphasize on the fact that given the right time and amount of dedication, the artistry and dexterity can be achieved.
As an assignment, you could ask your students to prepare a video of their own with all the faulty comments they read on YouTube or social media. Besides being immensely interesting to undertake, the assignment could also equip them with video-making skills. Who knows one of them might end up being a YouTube celebrity (and perhaps mention you in the credits)!
#FunFact: Use these videos in your online classroom for a fun session on English Grammar.
As an assignment, let your students decide who they wish to see in an Epic Rap Battle of History and let them dig up data on their chosen historical figures. Divide the class into two groups and assign them the task of dueling with each other using only the information they just unravelled. It could be a debate based on history, and learners could actually pretend to be the celebrity they have chosen.
#FunFact: Make the students dress up like their celebrity from the past or the present.
This YouTube channel will amaze you beyond belief. Studying the human nature can be even more interesting if you do it the comic way. Lahwf is doing exactly that. They conduct social experiments by creating situations in order to study the various ways in which people react to these situations.
I believe assigning a similar task to your students would need the presence of a teacher or a guardian, but such assignments could actually help your students open up more. This experiment will help them be more social and interact more openly with peers.
#FunFact: Let your hair down for a day by leading the experiment yourself and helping your students achieve the desired effect.
This guy knows his music and he hits no clinkers. Jon Cozart is an amazingly versatile artist who can do several musical sounds and vocals, and combine them to form a single complete musical video. Although his videos are mostly a bene placito, there is a lot of animato insight that music teachers all over the world can borrow from them.
For a music assignment, you could divide the class into groups and assign a musical instrument to each one of them, only they don't play the instruments per se; they just have to sound the sounds with their vocal chords.
#FunFact: Organize online concerts by having different groups perform using the multi-way audio and video feature. It would make for a great recording for later viewing too.
John and Hank Green are witty, intelligent, well-read and highly informative. They talk a lot about the topics they choose and not one word would be out of context. So you and your students might want to listen in on those videos closely. The concept behind the videos is that the two brothers Vlog for each other. So you might see then take turns to amaze you and your class.
Overall, a refreshingly factual perspective on topics ranging from the day to day 'Air Travel tips' and American Debt Crisis to more philosophical 'What to do with your life'. Here is one video "in which Hank discusses NASA's new Space Launch System (SLS) and the Orion space vehicle, which are (unlike the space shuttle) designed exclusively for deep-space missions to places including our moon, the asteroids, and Mars(Source: YouTube Information)".
The brothers also have another YouTube channel called Crash Course where they teach US History and Chemistry. You might want to check it out too.
#FunFact: Use these videos to Flip your classroom. Also, encourage your students to Vlog for themselves about topics that matter.
Imagine if the X-men had never split in the first place? What if Macbeth had killed his wife for being over-ambitious? The literary classics as well as the contemporary movies are ever dynamic and subject to change should your imagination or logical reasoning allow. As such, there are a thousand and one ways in which a story could end. And that is exactly what this YouTube channel is doing: telling you how a story SHOULD have ended.
For an offline assignment, let your students rewrite the endings of a popular literary piece like Romeo and Juliet or Pride and Prejudice. This activity will stir the imagination and give you a chance to understand your learners better.
#FunFact: Let the students play-act the best story.
So what does this post mean? Really?
Sometimes its not even about cracking a joke. Sometimes its all about making a statement about your personality that puts the learners at ease, and assures them that the learning would not be the stereotypical kind.
I am an ardent supporter of new ideas in teaching. And in order to achieve a new dawn in learning, it is important that we leave the too accommodating Arcadia of archaic actions and instead instill the immensely important inspiration that is sometimes missing among the learners. I believe that giving a good school education to kids is no less than presenting a bursary to them. And humor is one of the many tools that a teacher could use to bring the kids out of their cloister.
Ideas and technology are like Siamese twins that need only be together to create a sea of opportunities. The best part of online education is that it is not subject to a set of rules and regulations. It is ever dynamic and lets you as a teacher experiment and explore the plethora of possibilities.
The union of humor and online teaching will inspire you as well as your learners. I can but suggest some ideas. But you can open up a whole new door into another dimension of thinking by putting together the wisdom of the ages (i.e. your teaching) and the ways of the present world (i.e. technology).

A Question of Supervision – What's Happening?
By Colm O'Doherty, M. Phil.
This article is based on the results of a survey carried out at the beginning of 1995 by an IAHIP subcommittee: Barbara Fitzgerald, Alison Hunter and myself. The survey is a serious attempt, through a questionnaire, to gather up and listen to the experiences and expectations of the membership about supervision. It does not claim to be a scientific piece of research and the focus of this article, therefore, will be on general trends rather than on exact percentages.
Overall, those who responded had plenty to say, with most people anxious to squeeze as much as they could into the confines of a page. There were returns from almost half the membership, which I gather is above average for postal surveys. In terms of experience the largest group represented were therapists who have worked for between 5 and 10 years, with a further considerable number having worked for more than 10 years. The survey,therefore, draws on probably over 300 years of therapeutic experience!
Forms of Supervision
By far the most common form of supervision was one to one, with many of these therapists also attending either group or peer supervision, and in some cases both. It appears that the length of one's experience as a therapist is a factor that influences the choice of form of supervision, with one to one supervision peaking with therapists of between 5 and 10 years experience. Those with over 15 years experience availed in equal measure of the three forms of supervision: one to one, group and peer.
It was most interesting to read in the survey what people said they wanted from supervision. It would appear from the responses that the members were clear as to their needs and how they wanted to use supervision. I have clustered what they perceived as the goals of supervision under four headings, with the first three being named in one form or another by almost everyone, and the fourth by just under half of those who responded:
2. Self-Awareness
4. Training and Information
Obviously these are not discrete categories and in fact attention to one of these will usually affect some, or all, of the other aspects. Because this is a central issue and also because of the very interesting nature of the responses, I would like to give a flavour of the replies to this part of the survey. In response to the question, "From your experience as a therapist what do you see as appropriate goals of supervision?" people said they wanted a space where they could talk easily about their clients; where they could get help to look at difficulties they were having with clients. They would like to be able to check out their hypotheses with the supervisor and, in general, use supervision as a sounding board, helping them to look at interventions they made. I categorised these sorts of responses under the heading of Case Management.
Regarding the second category, Self-Awareness, many people mentioned quite explicitly that they wished to be able to discuss in supervision, issues around transference and countertransference. Others, without using these terms had similar aims: to look at how the therapist might be blocking the client because of the therapist's own inner process: to develop a watchfulness which would help the therapist be aware of occasions when they might be attending to their own agenda rather than to that of the client. In general under this heading therapists wanted help in supervision so that they could better understand how they were with each of their clients.
Under Support I clustered responses which indicated that people were very glad of skilled professional company in the strainful and often lonely work of therapy. People appreciated reassurance, company in their isolation and encouragement. They wanted, supervision to be a place where the therapist could take a breather, or lay down the burden for a while.
Quite a few members saw supervision as a place where their skills could be developed and where they could have access to relevant professional information. The sorts of practical help that people wanted were information about legal implications where they were seeing clients who had been abused and information on other ethical issues such as suicide. Nobody was specific about the skills they felt they could learn in supervision and most often when skills were mentioned people wrote in very general terms.
It is interesting to note that the wishes of the members, as revealed in the survey, are consonant with the goals of supervision that are outlined in the literature. Kadushin1, in his classic work, "Supervision in Social Work", highlights the following aspects of supervision, all of which are touched on by the survey responses:
1. The Administrative Component
2. The Educational Component
3. The Supportive Component
Peter Hawkins2 writing on supervision from a humanistic perspective offers a framework for supervision which accommodates different modes of working. Within the same supervisory session the focus can be on the content of the therapy session – offering scope to the therapist concerned with case management – and can then move to an exploration of the behaviour, feelings and processes of the therapist – attending to issues of transference and countertransference, and to the desire of the therapist to develop self-awareness. Both of these modes are supportive in a professional way to the therapist.
In terms of effectiveness there was a wide range of responses from poor to very good, with just under 90% evaluating their experience between adequate to very good and just over 10% saying it was poor. The impression I get from the responses – and this is an impression – is that while most people were positive about the quality of supervision they were receiving they would also be glad enough if steps were taken to improve matters. A further analysis of these effectiveness figures reveals that those who felt their supervision was poor to adequate were mainly those with between 1 and 10 years experience of therapy. Within that group, those with between 5 and 10 years of experience are almost evenly divided between those who find supervision either poor or adequate and those who rate it good to very good. Those with over 10 years experience all responded within the reasonably good, good and very good categories.
It is important to caution here against drawing too many or too firm conclusions from these figures, yet there is ground for some concern when we note that the group most unhappy about their supervision is a group of experienced therapists (those with between 5 and 10 years experience) and who form the largest group who responded to the survey. Lastly, it appears that supervision is seen to be less helpful when it is most needed,i.e. during the early years of practising as a therapist. Apart from whatever this might point to regarding the training of supervisors, it would appear that it is important during the therapist's training to consider how best the beginning therapist might avail of supervision and work beneficially within the supervisory relationship.
For Attention
When people were asked what needs most urgent attention in the whole area of supervision they gave a wide variety of suggestions, together with a few cautions. Just under half felt the priority should be training for supervisors. It was noted that there is a need to build up a pool of competent supervisors and that the prerequisite is appropriate training. Most people who are working as supervisors at present within the field of humanistic therapy come to that work on the strength of their experience as therapists. While such experience is recognised as being very important it is also acknowledged that it cannot remain the sole criteria. Questions were raised as to who should sponsor this training and what role IAHIP might have in this regard.
To date the Executive has taken no responsibility for setting up training in any area connected with therapy but it is obvious that someone, somewhere needs to give consideration to how supervision training could be made available to those who are interested.
Next to training – and closely linked to it in the responses – came accreditation i.e. criteria and procedures whereby people became recognised as supervisors.
When we looked at the responses to this question of what needs attention and correlate them with the responses to the last question in the survey -"Do you work as a Supervisor?" – we see both supervisors and non-supervisors have the same priorities, with supervisors even more clearly asking for training and accreditation criteria and procedures than those who are not supervisors.
As I said, there was a wide variety of interesting suggestions as to what was the most needed, for instance, a code of ethics and practice for supervisors, special attention to supervision of trainees, a requirement that supervisors be experienced therapists and be currently seeing clients, clarification on what differentiates a humanistic and integrative approach to supervision from other approaches, and finally a think tank cum support group for supervisors.
I mentioned that a few cautions were also included e.g. the dangers implicit in setting up a group of "experts", and a query about the necessity of regular, mandatory supervision as opposed to when the need arises.
Overall it would appear from answers to this question that many people have a lot to say about the topic and where we might go from here, and that was confirmed by the very free flowing discussion at the AGM of the IAHIP when the results of this survey were outlined to the members. During that discussion the issue of accreditation again figured very prominently and in the light of this, the Executive agreed that priority now be given to working on criteria and procedures for accrediting supervisors within the organisation. This is no simple task, as other bodies have discovered, particularly if attempts are made to incorporate qualitative as well as quantitative criteria, and also to involve people with a range of experience. It is hoped that the survey has made some contribution to that process which is now underway.

Q: Copy File Using RunDll32.exe Kernel32.dll My problem is I don't know how to use CopyFile with Kernel32.
rundll32.exe kernel32.dll,CopyFileA "C:\Users\User\Desktop\test.txt","C:\Users\User\Desktop\test2.txt", 0

I am not using any program, I just want to run that command from "run" dialog if possible.

A: You cannot use rundll32 to call CopyFileA because CopyFileA is not compatible. You can only use rundll32 to call entry points with this signature:
void CALLBACK EntryPoint(HWND hwnd, HINSTANCE hinst, LPSTR lpszCmdLine,
    int nCmdShow);

The details for rundll32, including the above information, are to be found over on MSDN.
Instead of this you can, for instance, use the command interpreter with the copy command at the run dialog:
cmd /c copy file1.txt file2.txt -y

I was told once 1st thought is Spirit, 2nd thought is Doubt, 3rd thought is Fear. By the time you get to the 3rd thought, you have lost track of the 1st thought.
As abuse and trauma survivors we are often in crises of faith. We have frequently been taught either in words or actions that we are of little to no value. Who would love us or want us as we are? We frequently feel damaged and may judge ourselves by what we have or what we can accomplish or how much we can help others.
The idea that we are sparks of Light may be so foreign that it is impossible to believe.
So, then when something happens that challenges us or rocks our world to the foundations, where do we turn?
Trust and control are usually a huge issue with survivors. Looking for security outside of ourselves is another issue with many survivors.
Changes and unexpected events can challenge our beliefs about ourselves, others and the world.
So, these times can be a chance to exercise faith. Basically, faith is the idea that someone or something bigger then us has our backs and we are safe.
Faith is not necessarily a religious idea, it can be spiritual independent of any specific religion.
I am having to call upon faith a lot these days and wonder what other people's experiences have been with using faith to get through this life journey?
Thanks for your feedback and Blessings.
Susan: Thank you for your post. For myself, I have found my faith to be THE driver of my survival and ultimate thriving. My faith is specific - a relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship is the foundation of my life. It is the only thing that I can trust. People fail me all the time but the Lord never does. Yes, it is hard sometimes, because my understanding of His ways falls short. However, I stand on the specific promises of that relationship when I need an anchor in the storms of life. I wander and His love pulls me back. His arms are strong and His love merciful. It surpasses anything physical. It is His love that allows me to not sink into depths of despair and pain. Hugs and prayers for you.

Christian Palestinians risk being caught up in the ongoing war of attrition between Israeli forces and Muslim Palestinians, human rights organisation B'Tselem has warned.
The largely Christian community of Beit Jala, on the West Bank, is concerned that it will never see a harvest of the olives it has planted, as the construction of Israel's security wall draws closer.
According to B'Tselem, appeals to Israel's courts have failed to stop the project, which Israel says is vital to protect it from terrorist attacks.
Reports from NBC claim the impending decision has prompted both Christians and Muslims in the area to gather for weekly prayers that they hope will stop Israel from building the separation wall.
Israel has already completed 65 per cent of the planned 435-mile barrier. B'Tselem says that if the wall is finished, 85 per cent will fall on Palestinian land.

Q: Errors in configuring feature gate in gke I was trying to run kubelet parameters add --feature-gates=ReadOnlyAPIDataVolumes=false on my GKE node with node version 1.9.7.
Then I got the following error:
I1002 00:56:53.617596   13469 feature_gate.go:226] feature gates: &{{} map[ReadOnlyAPIDataVolumes:false]}

If I run sudo kubelet parameters add --feature-gates=ReadOnlyAPIDataVolumes=false, then I got
error: unrecognized key: ReadOnlyAPIDataVolumes

My questions:

*

*In general, should kubelet command be executed from as root or not?

*Specifically how to run "kubelet parameters add" command successfully?

A: *

*Yes. Although it may be possible to run as non-root, the kubelet has control over so many different components on your system that would be difficult to make it talk to all the components as non-root.

*I'm really not sure where kubelet parameters add comes from, or how it's setup on GKE (I believe it's the good old kube-up.sh script) But generally, you can change your kubelet parameters at the systemd level. For example, I use kubeadm and change/add flags in /var/lib/kubelet/kubeadm-flags.env or just inline on the kubelet command line, according to this systemd service definition:
$ systemctl cat kubelet

Tzedakis, Isaac J. Winograd
Journal: Quaternary Research / Volume 58 / Issue 1 / July 2002
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017, pp. 2-13
The last interglacial, commonly understood as an interval with climate as warm or warmer than today, is represented by marine isotope stage (MIS) 5e, which is a proxy record of low global ice volume and high sea level. It is arbitrarily dated to begin at approximately 130,000 yr B.P. and end at 116,000 yr B.P. with the onset of the early glacial unit MIS 5d. The age of the stage is determined by correlation to uranium–thorium dates of raised coral reefs. The most detailed proxy record of interglacial climate is found in the Vostok ice core where the temperature reached current levels 132,000 yr ago and continued rising for another two millennia. Approximately 127,000 yr ago the Eemian mixed forests were established in Europe. They developed through a characteristic succession of tree species, probably surviving well into the early glacial stage in southern parts of Europe. After ca. 115,000 yr ago, open vegetation replaced forests in northwestern Europe and the proportion of conifers increased significantly farther south. Air temperature at Vostok dropped sharply. Pulses of cold water affected the northern North Atlantic already in late MIS 5e, but the central North Atlantic remained warm throughout most of MIS 5d. Model results show that the sea surface in the eastern tropical Pacific warmed when the ice grew and sea level dropped. The essentially interglacial conditions in southwestern Europe remained unaffected by ice buildup until late MIS 5d when the forests disappeared abruptly and cold water invaded the central North Atlantic ca. 107,000 yr ago.
Thermohaline Circulation and Prolonged Interglacial Warmth in the North Atlantic
Jerry F. McManus, Delia W. Oppo, Lloyd D. Keigwin, James L. Cullen, Gerard C. Bond
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017, pp. 17-21
Deep-sea sediment cores provide spatially coherent evidence for the climatic and hydrographic conditions in the subpolar North Atlantic during the last interglaciation. Taken together with similarly high-resolution terrestrial sequences, these records indicate a regional climatic progression, beginning with the extreme and variable climate late in the penultimate glaciation, continuing through a relatively stable climatic optimum during the interglaciation, and concluding with the reestablishment of the markedly variable regime that characterized the last 100,000-yr glaciation. Relatively mild conditions in much of the subpolar region significantly outlasted the minimum in global ice volume, despite declining summer insolation and the cooling influence of incipient proximal glaciers. These effects were partially offset by enhanced thermohaline circulation that paradoxically increased heat transport into the region while simultaneously providing the likely moisture source for the growth of large northern ice sheets. The inception of the last glacial cycle thus provides an example of the influence of ocean circulation on regional climate. In contrast to the apparent orbital pace of the ongoing ice-sheet growth, the subsequent deterioration of surface conditions was abrupt and dramatic.


Each and every year since the 1960s there has been a Salute to Israel Parade in New York City. This year it was called Celebrate Israel with a musical theme.
I remember attending one of the first ones held then on the Upper West Side. We lived in Rego Park, Queens and I came with my young two- or three-year-old son to watch the parade. After awhile I put him on my shoulders and we joined in with the marchers. The annual parade is now on Fifth Avenue and has become a staple like all the other ethnic parades with one exception: While we have thousands of marchers like the others, we have comparatively few onlookers on the sidewalks.
Except for a few pockets of people here and there, the sidewalks are embarrassingly empty. I and members of my family have either marched or viewed every parade each and every year. How many can say that?
The date, although announced many months in advance, seems to come up as a surprise, somewhat akin to Shavuot, the almost forgotten festival. Jewish organizations continually hold important events on the same day.
Can you imagine if the sidewalks on both sides of Fifth Avenue from 55th to 74th Streets were crammed with Jews applauding the thousands of marchers as the Irish do, as the Italians do, the Puerto Ricans, etc., etc.? Even The New York Times might pay attention. The White House might sit up and take notice. And most important of all, Israelis would most certainly get a lift from knowing that multitudes of fellow Jews so publicly support them. What a dream. When? Maybe next year.

The Worst Thing My Boyfriend Ever Gave Me
Sex Confessions: This was not a gift I'd asked for.
A few weeks back, I felt the familiar beginnings of a yeast infection. When my over-the-counter treatment didn't work, I set up an OB/GYN appointment; maybe I just needed stronger medicine. By the time I reached my doctor the next day, the standard itching had morphed into pain so excruciating I couldn't sit down. "Are you in a relationship?" my doctor asked. I told her I was, for a few months now, with a man named Jaylon. "Congratulations," she said, before dropping the bomb.
What she saw was not a yeast infection gone awry but "an angry case of genital herpes." My face flushed with rage as she told me about the daily medication that would cost almost $300 a year, and that the virus would remain in my body forever. I left the office with a Valtrex prescription, got into my car, and sobbed on my steering wheel.
All I could think was, How the hell could Jaylon have done this to me? I'd expected him to give me flowers occasionally, compliments, the odd foot massage — not a frickin' STD. I was especially pissed because we'd been so careful before we ditched the condoms, having the monogamy talk and both getting STD tests. My doctor said that Jaylon likely infected me unknowingly, since they don't screen for herpes in standard STD tests and 60 percent of carriers are asymptomatic.
Even though I knew he'd infected me unintentionally, I was still furious. He'd basically served me a dating death sentence — if we split up, would I be able to find another guy willing to deal with my condition? I had lots of time to stew over the injustice of it all while I was bedridden for the next four days. I was so swollen that it hurt to walk; raw blisters made peeing only possible in a bathtub full of water; even downing Vicodin didn't help much. I picked fights with Jaylon and became incredibly needy, making him reassure me again and again that he was still attracted to me.
But as my blisters healed and the pain eased, something amazing happened: We grew closer. This was the first bump in the road for us, and we got past it together. He saw me panicky and irrational; he saw me at my worst. And rather than run, he picked up my prescriptions and helped me into the tub. Despite my lousy, lifelong affliction, I'm more confident in my relationship — so confident, I'm asking him to move in with me. Ah, romance!

Our Friendship started in 1999 when we worshiped together at the Pleasant Ridge Church of Christ in Arlington, Texas. After working together in Pleasant Ridge's weekly ladies Bible Class we formed Light My Path Ministries in 2004. Light My Path Ministries was created to provide women throughout the world an opportunity to use the study guides written by Pleasant Ridge women with a mission to serve the Lord by encouraging women to study His Word.
We have been blessed, over and over, in the creation of this company, both by the association with other godly women and by spending time deeply thinking about God's Word.

While some may speculate that we fell in love with each other at our first kiss, I knew better. We were soul mates from birth. We shared our first kiss in the meadow on the day of my sixteenth birthday before my mom died. We lay on the grass as we had done that first time the butterflies blessed us with their magnificence on my seventh birthday. We did this on my birthday every year in hopes they would return. My birthday not only signified being a year older, but it was also our day.
Every year River and I shared a private ritual and a hidden connection, until that kiss when the secret was exposed and our hearts were bound beyond platonic feelings. My mom's death broke this ritual and the dream of a perfectly unflawed life together.

Chequers is the new kid on a very busy block, opening just a month ago on Sauchiehall Street. I had conjured an image in my head of a casual dinner styled restaurant initially, and I was so wrong!
The gloss paint still has its shine and the restaurant has that lovely 'brand new' feeling. With tables, booths and also a large booth for meetings/parties you can have a varied ambiance depending on where you sit. Regardless of where you sit, you'll see a cool colour palette decorated with neat little accents for decoration; it's a lovely dining environment.
I love Cullen Skink and I was told by a friend that she had it in Chequers prior to my visit, so I had to give it a bash! I will tell you all now – this is the one. The one. I have never tested such a perfectly beautiful Cullen Skink before. It's a simple dish, but many places get it wrong with allowing it to be mediocre. This batch contained equal measures of potato and smoked haddock, and the decadent creamy broth was full of wonderful flavour from the gremolata, onions and garlic. It was absolutely to die for, and a must for these horrible cold days creeping in!
I will say this first: the mussels are HUGE. Clearly they're first in line at the fish market! Easily double the size of any I've eaten elsewhere recently! The sauce was well seasoned and had a really lovely and simple taste.
This burger was an absolute BEAST. I personally think anyone who finishes it should be given a certificate! The batter for the burger was beautiful – lovely and crispy and tangy relish worked well with it. The bun was too dry/stodgy for: A. The size of the burger as it made it too dense to enjoy in its entirety; B. To dry to hold its shape properly and fell apart. So a mixed opinion on this dish!
My steak was closer to medium than medium rare, but it was still really juicy and gorgeously tender. I've sent steak back in the past, so believe me when I say I enjoyed it despite being a little over what I'd want.
I prefer skinny fries to chunky chips and these were perfect. I was still eating them after I'd waved my white flag, surrendering to fullness. It was impossible to stop.
Gorgeous. Gorgeous is the only word. Such a beautiful side dish and to be honest I would easily order that with chicken/steak in it as a full salad as the simple flavours were refreshing and just perfect.
Oh hello. We couldn't finish everything during this one sitting, but refused to leave without the mac 'n' cheese. My first thought when I woke up thought was "WE CAN MAKE TOASTIES WITH IT".
And we did. And lived happily ever after.
As you can imagine – I totally recommend this place! If you want to experience gorgeous flavours from fresh, local food….give this place a try! It's really I'm looking for in a menu, personally! They're up for an award for their cocktails, but I was in no mood to try them on Saturday…followers of my Instagram will know I hosted a cocktail party, so the thought of anything stronger than a Coke wasn't going to happen! Definitely next time!

How To Identify Fake Chinese Porcelain, An Essential Guide by Anthony J. Allen
At Last a Manual-Reference Book on How To Identify Fake Chinese Porcelain
The best book in or out of print for learning how to identify fake Chinese porcelain.
Title: "The Detection of Chinese Fakes"
Author: Anthony J. Allen, Pub. 2016 (updated with a section on Flambe examples)
350 Pages and 1,170 color illustrations
Extensive text for each image
Fully indexed
Detailed explanation of reign marks
Studying foot rims
Indicators of age
etc. etc..
Price $115.00 (100% worth it)
A personal note on this book. My own library contains over 1,200 volumes on Asian art (I've lost count). If you can only afford a handful of books on Chinese porcelain, this should absolutely be one of them.
Its Worth Every Penny.
An Important Book for Collectors, Dealers, and Generalist Antique Dealers
Why You Probably Need This Book
About Today's Chinese Porcelain Market: Over 95% of the Chinese porcelain for sale today is either a copy or being misrepresented. When it comes to fine "Mark and Period" examples that percentage jumps to over 99.8% by my estimation. Understanding how to identify fake Chinese porcelain, is to first understand what real examples look like.
By examining the content of websites like Live Auctioneers, Invaluable or eBay tells the tale. These are all packed to capacity with reproductions of all types, especially the elusive "M & P" examples. Thirty years ago dealers might find a few "Mark and Period" pieces in a year outside of major auction houses. Today you can find dozens in five minutes all claiming to be authentic on the web. Here is an auction house known to often sell fakes and copies.
Has there been a sudden discovery of never before known authentic pieces? No of course not, demand has provided a marketplace for fakes on an epic scale.
This amazingly handy book will go a very long way to saving collectors and dealers headaches and financial losses if used wisely. (It's about the size of a standard phone book)
The Great Myth regarding fakes made during previous centuries: About the "old wive's tale" claiming copies were made in the past to venerate previous eras is untrue. So let's all end the myth going forward. They were made for the same reasons they are made today, to make a lot more money than they would otherwise. Who started this silly fable is anyone's guess, but is clearly without any documented evidence and needs to be ended. Fraud in the art world has been going on since the first piece was sold.
How This Book is VERY Different From Other Chinese Porcelain References
About the Author: Anthony Allen has been an active, knowledgeable and highly regarded dealer for decades. For numerous dealers, museums, and collectors Tony has been the "go to" guy and last word when it comes to authentication. He has also written four other best sellers on the topic of Chinese antiques, I own all of them. (Some are pretty dog-eared.)
Learning To LOOK and THINK Like a Smart Dealer
Detecting Chinese Fakes, a manual for studying Chinese porcelain.
Most books on Chinese porcelain devote pages to research on the historic origins ceramics and how the glazes were applied. The pages provide important but obscure aspects of assorted traditions and origins. It's all facinating and interesting to know, collectors do love history. However, most often they do very little to actually TEACH anything about "hands-on" authentication. The description of images are often brief, some marks, or practical clear information required for dating purposes. Worse yet, many describe important aspects and then fail to provide an illustration. (Illustrations are very expensive to include)
Why "The Detection of Chinese Fakes" Is Entirely Different
This book presents the nitty-gritty of examining pieces like a great dealer would with a student of a favored collector. The book is laid out section by section, describing what to look for with over one thousand accompanying illustrations. Unlike many if not most Chinese reference books, Tony also shows and discusses the all important foot rims. Just knowing foot rims will save you a fortune in the field when out buying.
The photos present objects collectors and dealers are likely to encounter for purchase. A large number of the pictures are from well-known honest and experienced sellers on eBay*. Accompanying every photo are copious notes and text with crucial references of comparison to other illustrated examples.
Glazes, From start to finish Tony explains the application and coloring of glazes. His illustrations also show how they change from period to period. The texts provide considerable detail about the differences in glaze types, i.e. Wucai, Famille Verte, Doucai and San Cai. He then explains when needed what glazes you should and should not see on given types of pieces.
Shapes and Style, Are described throughout. When and how they evolved, when they didn't exist, what they should feel like and how much they should WEIGH. All the little things that divide the fake from the authentic.
Learning How to Identify Fake Chinese porcelain and Authentic Pieces
If you're serious about learning more about Chinese porcelain. Save your self a lot of time and expense through "mistakes" by owning this book. It will pay for itself time and again, it's worth every penny.
*Quite a few are of examples illustrated were sold by us on the site and/numerous examples (100's) have been in our Weekly Newsletter.

Pineapples, papayas, bananas and mangoes are traditionally cultivated in mixture with coconuts by family farms. The original idea was to additionally support the the coconut farmers and doing good to the environment by using the acreage according to nature (these are certified according to the Organic Standard and are regularly inspected by Control Union). This evolved into a successful project, which also allows the export of mixed cultures to coconut cultivation. Particular attention is paid to the compliance of health and safety regulations as well as proper working conditions for the employees of the processing plants and for the farmers. See also the social projects page.
Only fruits that have reached the required maturity are harvested. The fruits are then transported directly to the processing plant, where they are washed, peeled and cut into chunks or slices. Adding only the fruits' own juice, the fruit pieces are filled by machines into jars.
Fruits in a jar are versatile and convenient. They do not taste much different than the fresh fruits and can be used as flexible. Pure enjoyment, whether alone or in fruit salads, fruit tarts, muesli usw. Our product range contains the following fruits.

At a consumer products company we're familiar with, no one on the senior team would ever refer to the company's products as "commodities." Managers there know what the competition has to offer, and they know their goods are different. They can name the distinctive features and explain their value—and they can tell you how much they've spent on innovation to keep that edge.
The problem is, their customers don't seem to have gotten the memo. Faced with the many options available to them on store shelves, they behave as though only one factor matters in the buying decision: price. They treat the company's products as commodities.
Constant price undercutting can damage brand equity and erode profit margins. Meanwhile, customers develop low expectations and become disengaged.
When has a product category been commoditized? Most managers and business scholars will tell you it's when competing products are indistinguishable in terms of tangible features and capabilities. But our research shows that commoditization is as much a psychological state as a physical one. A commoditized market is one in which buyers display rampant skepticism, routinized behaviors, minimal expectations, and a strong preference for swift and effortless transactions regardless of product differentiation.
That's why turning the tide is so difficult. Fresh rounds of innovation go unnoticed, and better-formulated marketing messages don't get through. This will remain true until you make consumers sit up and take notice. The best way to do that, we've discovered, is to take the one thing they're focused on—the price of your offering—and alter it in a surprising or challenging way.
It is still possible, however, to jolt customers into considering the value of your offering in terms of quality and personal relevance. To persuade them that they have a meaningful decision to make, you can—paradoxically—use the last thing you want to be decisive: the price.
Our research suggests that four pricing moves in particular can diminish the salience of price in a transaction. You can change the basis of your pricing structure, as Goodyear did when it priced tires according to how many miles they would last. You can stimulate curiosity with willful overpricing, as Burt's Bees does with its natural beauty products. You can partition a price into components to make customers notice a key benefit, as IKEA does by charging separately for a table's top and legs, alerting people to its useful modularity. Or you can put the same price tag on a range of options, causing customers to weigh their preferences, as Swatch did when it uniformly charged $40 for any watch design. What these strategies have in common, we've discovered, is the close link between pricing and customer attention—a link that has not previously been explored by marketing scholars, and one with significant implications for businesses.
The first way to use pricing to diminish price sensitivity is to make it call attention to the value your product or service delivers, and ideally to the one dimension that most meaningfully differentiates it from those of competitors. To achieve this you must revise your pricing structure (the basis on which you price your various offerings). Goodyear's problem for a long time was that customers were unwilling to pay a premium for the innovations the company introduced to extend tread life. Without a clear reference price for tires, buyers experienced sticker shock and gravitated to the lowest price. Goodyear solved that problem by pricing its various models on the basis of how many miles they could be expected to last rather than their engineering complexity; this highlighted the advantage of those innovations for customers and taught them a new way to compare offerings that was perfectly aligned with the company's value proposition.
We begin with the idea of revisiting pricing structure because it is so often neglected. When managers worry about pricing, they typically focus on determining the optimal price point for a given product. Drawing on market testing or research techniques ranging from simple surveys to full-scale conjoint analyses, they work diligently to discover just how much demand would be generated at different prices under different support conditions (for example, with or without advertising or merchandising budgets) and from which customer segments. Meanwhile, they fail to examine the larger framework in which such questions reside.
Yet the benefits of restructuring pricing to align with value have been proved many times. In the world of industrial explosives, Orica escaped commoditization with "broken rock" pricing that charged customers according to the fragmentation of the rocks extracted rather than the amount of explosives spent. General Electric changed its airline engine pricing to deliver "power by the hour." Embrex (now Pfizer Poultry Health) offered poultry breeders inoculations "by the egg"—aligning pricing with the value breeders seek from healthier animals. All these companies realize that pricing based on units sold does little to set them apart from the competition. In fact, it promotes price comparison by establishing a simple common denominator that customers seize on. Alternatively, telling customers that they will be charged according to the value delivered suggests that they reassess their preferences in line with that value and sends a powerful message that the seller stands behind its offering.
Sometimes one seller's price restructuring can revolutionize an industry. Consider Norwich Union (now part of Aviva), a UK-based insurer, which changed how it charged for car insurance. Traditionally, a policy's annual premium is based on the insurer's actuarial analysis of the risk presented by a given driver. The price is intended to cover the projected costs of claims plus a markup dictated by the competitive environment and the financial objectives set by top management. Norwich Union's innovation was to do away with annual premiums and begin charging per mile driven. Even more surprising, the company installed sophisticated tracking devices in policyholders' vehicles, allowing it to monitor their driving behavior—and to charge higher rates under conditions of elevated risk. Thus a policyholder who drove more miles at night, or neglected to wear a seat belt or use turn signals, would pay more than one with safer driving habits.
Norwich Union discontinued its offering when it became clear that its tracking devices were too intrusive for the tastes of customers in the UK, but its pay-as-you-drive innovation has since been taken up by other insurers around the world (including Progressive in the United States). The power of this pricing approach is that it causes customers to stop and think. Rather than mindlessly choosing on the basis of the lowest quote they can find, they are forced to consider the purchase in light of their own unique behavior—and in the process they come to appreciate the argument for use-based insurance.
For the company there are several other effects: The first is that riskier drivers, who are always the most costly to serve, migrate to competing insurance companies. The second is that having obtained the data to find patterns in driving behavior and claims, the company can refine its risk profiling, increasing its competitive advantage on an important dimension. The third is that pay-as-you-drive insurance induces many customers to alter their driving behavior, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents—an outcome of obvious benefit to both sides of the transaction.
What all the examples above have in common is that a pricing change compelled customers to pay attention to a certain form of value. The key to succeeding with this strategy is to vary price according to what's most distinctive about your offering rather than the makeup of the product or service itself. This will take your offering out of head-to-head price competition and allow it to compete on the personal relevance to customers of the value it provides.
Managers might argue that any radical change in pricing structure is virtually impossible in hypercompetitive markets where every player sets prices using the same metric and every customer has significant experience paying in a certain way. Although we're sympathetic to this concern, our experience suggests that the benefits far outweigh the obstacles along the way.
Ever wonder why Apple computers are always priced at a premium and, more important, how the company can sustain both this premium and strong customer goodwill in the face of increased competition and tough economic times? Or perhaps you're familiar with SKF, the leading global supplier of bearings, which continues to command a 30% to 40% premium despite stagnant industry growth and the entry of several low-cost alternatives from emerging-market competitors. Both cases demonstrate the thought-provoking effect of moderate overpricing—that is, setting prices higher than what customers normally intend to pay.
In one experiment, graduate students were asked to examine differentiated supermarket products.
The logic behind willful overpricing is at once intuitive and counterintuitive. Imagine that you are in the market for a GPS device, and that many models are available from various manufacturers, all priced at about $200. Thanks to that clustering of options, you are mentally prepared to part with an approximate amount of cash: $200. Now suppose you come across a model at your local electronic goods store that costs $300. How do you react?
If you think like the customers in recent studies we conducted, you don't automatically dismiss the higher-priced model. Rather, you're motivated to take a closer look: Perhaps added features justify that price—features you haven't considered but might in fact care about. Thus the manufacturer has produced exactly the response it needs to compete in an intensely price-conscious market.
In one experiment we asked graduate students to examine two differentiated supermarket products: organic lettuce and free-trade coffee. Through prior testing we had discovered that the students would be willing to pay a premium of 20% at most for these products. But when we priced the items at an 80% premium, they recalled nearly twice as much product information, which enabled them to cite more arguments in favor of buying the products. The overpricing also evoked a more passionate response to the products (which we measured by asking participants how relevant organic foods and free-trade harvesting were to their lives), which led to a willingness to pay much more than they originally intended. By contrast, people who were exposed to a premium close to their price expectations (10%) or one that was outlandishly high (190%) simply acted according to their pretested inclination, without giving much thought to their choice.
The implication is that for every purchase decision, there's a price range above what potential customers say they are willing to pay that will provoke them to ask, "Do I need this benefit or not?" rather than the usual (and damaging) "What is the cheapest option in the store?" Yet managers often respond to price competition by slashing prices to a point where important decisions about added functionality or benefits become no-brainers—which precipitates commoditization. This was the effect that Goodyear and other tire makers faced: As they kept lowering prices, their race to the bottom made consumers less sensitive to differences in safety and other aspects.
In a mature market where prices have already entered a damaging downward spiral, willful overpricing can help to reverse the trend. Starbucks took a beverage that many establishments served almost free and put a price on it above $3. Millions of cups of coffee later, it's clear that the premium was paid neither because the customer base was too affluent to care nor because the quality was that much higher. What Starbucks did, quite deliberately, was set a price point that made people rethink the importance of a coffee break in their lives.
Burt's Bees pulled off a similar feat by charging premiums of 80% to 100% over nonnatural personal-care brands, changing the views of a mass market that had seemed determined to pay the lowest amount possible for lip balms and shampoos. Burt's Bees' prices shocked consumers but prompted them to wonder what could possibly make the company's offerings so special. The answer—that they are made with natural ingredients by a socially responsible organization—began to matter. The company's sales grew annually by nearly 30% and its valuation quadrupled from 2003 to 2007.
Understanding the effect of willful overpricing may help managers to price truly innovative offerings without trepidation. Consider the case of KONE, the Finnish elevator company. In the 1990s the elevator industry was plagued by price competition. Architects and developers, traditionally appreciative of innovation and extra features, had been largely replaced as decision makers on equipment purchases by purchasing agents and contractors tasked with minimizing costs. Elevators were often sold at a loss, as manufacturers became willing to settle for the later payoff of after-sale service contracts.
In that highly commoditized context KONE introduced the MonoSpace, which required no separate machine room, thus lowering installation costs by more than 20%, and which reduced energy consumption by up to 60%. At the time, the market was unprepared to factor these and other unique benefits into its considerations, much less pay for them.
To provoke customers to value its innovation, KONE started responding to RFPs by submitting two proposals—one quoting its older models at a competitive price, and the other offering MonoSpace at a price that must have struck buyers as wildly off base. The strategy won few contracts at first, but it did spur constructive conversations among developers and their architects and contractors, who often called KONE for an explanation, generating a virtuous sales process.
A third thought-provoking strategy—known as price partitioning—is to break a price into its component charges. This highlights dimensions of differentiation that might otherwise go unnoticed.
For example, cable television customers generally buy a bundle of services from their providers: access to a package of channels, the use of a set-top box and remote control, and, often, movie channels, broadband internet connections, and other offerings. Providers have two pricing options: They can charge one all-inclusive price or they can itemize the bill. The amount payable is the same—so does it matter which approach they use?
Our research shows that it does. Presenting a cost as a set of smaller mandatory charges invites closer analysis and therefore increases the likelihood that a customer will revise a routine consumption behavior. We saw this effect in an experiment in which we presented participants with various options for airline travel from Boston to San Juan. In every case they were asked to choose between a $165 nondirect, no-frills flight and a $215 direct flight with amenities (in-flight entertainment and meal service). We tested four variations on how the more expensive flight was presented, to see what might induce people to choose it over the cheaper option. We created two levels of amenities, on the theory that six movie channels and a full-service lunch rather than an old sitcom episode and coffee or tea might cause more people to choose the higher fare over the lower one; and we tried price partitioning—some participants saw the higher cost as a lump sum and others saw it broken down ($205 for the flight plus $10 for the nonoptional amenities).
It turned out that the quality of the amenities made no difference to those who saw the price as a lump sum. The proportion who chose the higher price did not vary when the quality level was raised. But to those who saw the price partitioned, quality mattered: The better package induced more people to choose the more expensive flight.
Four similar experiments reinforced our finding: People are unlikely to factor a benefit into their choice unless an explicit charge is made for it. Though easily applied, this finding is often resisted—sometimes for good reason. Customers may be annoyed by price partitioning, especially when they sense that sellers aren't being straightforward about the total cost. This is a common reaction to so-called low-cost airlines that partition fees for mandatory services such as check-in and luggage handling. Worst of all, sometimes these fees are revealed only as the customer advances through the purchase process, making the price less transparent for comparison. This type of partitioning produces resentful customers, buyers who simply lacked the energy to repeat the whole process with a competing seller. It also backfires because it highlights standard features (checking in is unavoidable) rather than competitive advantages. Partitioning succeeds only when it primes customers to see a real benefit they would otherwise have overlooked.
A final strategy for turning price sensitivity to your advantage applies when customers are asked to choose among several options designed to appeal to different tastes. Our research suggests that in such cases all the variants should be priced the same, because customers will then be compelled to discover which option best suits their needs. They will work to fully appreciate the range of options a seller is offering, not to find ways to shed features for a lower purchase price.
This is an atypical approach to pricing customizable offerings. Usually, different prices are set for the different options on offer. A beverage company, for example, would price fruit smoothies higher if they were made from exotic fruits such as mango and papaya rather than from apples and pears. The same principle applies to milk, whose price typically varies depending on the fat content. This makes sense to companies that believe in cost-plus pricing, because different product options often involve different production costs: If the goal is to maintain a constant profit margin on items sold, the company must charge different prices.
The problem is that in most mature markets, customers are unresponsive to marginal changes in value. They have lost interest in understanding how each product option might serve them, and they default to price minimization. In fact, a list of options at different prices doesn't make them examine the relative merits of those options; it activates their predisposition to pare the price.
We were prompted to stage this experiment by the seemingly irrational choice at Apple to charge 99 cents for any track available on iTunes. Many media analysts, along with major record companies such as Universal, Sony, and EMI, had criticized Steve Jobs for passing up an opportunity to skim the market and capture more surplus through price discrimination. They believed he was missing the basic point that high-demand products—or those demanded by less price-sensitive consumers—can carry a higher price, while lower-demand products must be priced lower.
Given how things went for Apple, the results of our experiment didn't surprise us—but the size of the effect did. Participants who were offered music at a uniform price of $1.29 were 31% more likely to buy and anticipated buying 1.08 more songs, on average, per month. That would amount to spending $49.10 a year on music rather than $25.95—an increase in revenue of about 89%. We believe that the uniform price provoked respondents to think about their desire to consume music in general, instead of reinforcing their fixation on saving as much as possible. As Steve Jobs explained, to charge a uniform price not only was fair but also got customers to think about the benefit of iTunes' huge selection.
When Steve Jobs charged a uniform price, it not only was fair but also got customers to think about the benefit of iTunes' huge selection.
Most marketing textbooks claim that a price tag does two things. First, it names the terms of the exchange: just how much money a customer has to give up to procure the offering. Second, it often signals quality—particularly when that is hard to ascertain independently. The research described in this article reveals a third aspect: A price tag can actually shape the value of the product or service by motivating customers to better understand what they're being offered.
Some companies prefer to keep customers focused on price because they have a basic cost advantage to leverage. Most companies, however, would benefit from getting people to think harder about value. They need customers to appreciate the innovations they introduce, but as their markets mature, those innovations no longer get the attention they deserve.
Faced with heavy competition, marketers resort to all sorts of price promotions—coupons, quantity discounts, referral discounts, bundling, and targeted promotional offers. Our research shows how counterproductive these can be.
Participants in one study were instructed to assume that they had just moved to a new apartment and wanted a single vendor for their cable TV, internet, and phone services. They were shown the details of a vendor's "base pack" and "max pack," which offered different numbers of channels; for either pack they had a choice of three internet connection speeds and whether or not they wanted to include standard phone service. The final price depended on what options the participants chose. Half of them were also exposed to a promotional offer: a onetime discount for accounts opened over the internet. The discount applied to any package. That simple reminder of cash to be saved proved to have a dramatic effect—and not the one our hypothetical company would have wished for.
The trick is to fight customers' disengagement with the one marketing variable that still penetrates their consciousness: price. None of the moves we've described resemble conventional practice, which is to keep winning business through targeted price discounts. Nor do they involve hiking prices mindlessly in an attempt to signal higher quality. Rather, they call for pricing in a thought-provoking way. Challenging the customer to ask "What am I actually paying for?" and "What aspects of this offer do I really need?" begins to revive the conversation between buyer and seller. Customers are fixated on price—and the best strategy is to turn that to your advantage.

Title 28. Commercial Instruments and Transactions.
Subtitle I. Uniform Commercial Code.
Article 2A. Leases.
Part 5. Default.
A. In General.
§ 28:2A-506. Statute of limitations.
(a) An action for default under a lease contract, including breach of warranty or indemnity, must be commenced within 4 years after the cause of action accrued. By the original lease contract the parties may reduce the period of limitation to not less than 1 year.
(b) A cause of action for default accrues when the act or omission on which the default or breach of warranty is based is or should have been discovered by the aggrieved party, or when the default occurs, whichever is later. A cause of action for indemnity accrues when the act or omission on which the claim for indemnity is based is or should have been discovered by the indemnified party, whichever is later.
(c) If an action commenced within the time limited by subsection (a) of this section is so terminated as to leave available a remedy by another action for the same default or breach of warranty or indemnity, the other action may be commenced after the expiration of the time limited and within 6 months after the termination of the first action unless the termination resulted from voluntary discontinuance or from dismissal for failure or neglect to prosecute.
(d) This section does not alter the law on tolling of the statute of limitations nor does it apply to causes of action that have accrued before this article becomes effective.
(July 22, 1992, D.C. Law 9-128, § 2(b), 39 DCR 3830.)
UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE COMMENT
Uniform Statutory Source
Section 2-725.
Substantially rewritten.
Subsection (1) does not incorporate the limitation found in Section 2-725(1) prohibiting the parties from extending the period of limitation. Breach of warranty and indemnity claims often arise in a lease transaction; with the passage of time such claims often diminish or are eliminated. To encourage the parties to commence litigation under these circumstances makes little sense.
Subsection (2) states two rules for determining when a cause of action accrues. With respect to default, the rule of Section 2-725(2) is not incorporated in favor of a more liberal rule of the later of the date when the default occurs or when the act or omission on which it is based is or should have been discovered. With respect to indemnity, a similarly liberal rule is adopted.
Sections 2-725(1) and 2-725(2).

The Government of Ontario is currently in negotiations with the Wikwemkoong First Nation Community to resolve an outstanding land claim relating to the islands off the eastern shore of Manitoulin Island.
Because the land within this claim is largely privately held, the most likely alternative solution is a pristine collection of islands in Georgian Bay including Phillip Edward Island as well as the Fox and Chicken Islands.
For almost twenty years, my children and I have been paddling, exploring and camping among these beautiful Crown lands, as have thousands of other adventurous Canadians. We have learned to appreciate the truly natural rugged beauty of these islands and waters and believe them to be one of the most unique and untouched natural wonders in all of Canada!
Unless we take a stand now and send a strong message to the government of Ontario, these public lands could become private First Nations land within the next year or two. This could effectively cut off access to these beautiful islands for current and future generations of Canadians!

Az Antónia-árok, más néven Antal-árok egy vízmosás a Budai-hegységben Nagykovácsi és Pilisszentiván között.

A sárga jelzésű turistaút halad végig rajta. Az árok hossza kb. 1,1 km. A vízmosás feje Nagykovácsin, közvetlenül a Zsíroshegyi út mellett található. Az árok alsó vége kiszélesedik, fokozatosan eltűnik a Zsíroshegyi-dűlő környékén. Az Antónia-árok felső szakasza természetközeli állapotú, szép, szurdokszerű képződmény. A meredek vízmosást helyenként sziklák teszik változatosabbá. A területen lévő fenyves télen különösen széppé teszi az árkot. Az Antónia-árok középső részén nagyfeszültségű távvezeték oszlopsorát vezették a vízmosásba, ami kedvezőtlenül befolyásolja a hely látképét. A távvezeték szükségessé teszi a növényzet rendszeres letarolását is, ami a helyi mikroklímára valószínűleg kedvezőtlenül hat. A vízmosás alsóbb részein a távvezeték elhagyja az árkot, itt már lombos erdőben kígyózik a sárga turistajelzés.
