You know the feeling you walk out the door and get in your car. Did you remember to pack your toothbrush? Did you bring your cell phone charger? Do you have something to do on the bus? To help you prepare for your next trip, we have put together some packing suggestions. Click on the link below each list for a handy, printable PDF version!
Lets start with assembling an easy to take, Grab and Go travel bag. Keep this packed at all times and it will be easy to just grab and go for either a day trip or a longer multi day trip, or keep it in your car so you are always prepared whenever you are away from home!
*motion sickness pills or bands
*pain reliever
*a couple band-aids
*travel size hand sanitizer
*small bottle of sunscreen
*nail clippers and file
*small sewing kit
*travel size tissue pack
*travel size pouch of wet wipes
*clothing stain stick
*copy of medical insurance card & contact info, doctors name & contact info
*list of medications, allergies & emergency contact info
Signed up for a single day trip and wondering what you should bring? You dont HAVE to bring anything but yourself, but check out the following list for some suggestions:
*Grab & Go travel bag (see above)
*snacks or drinks (granola bar, fresh fruit, bag of nuts. You can bring a small soft sided cooler if needed)
*sunglasses and/or reading glasses
*cell phone (be sure to charge it the night before and/or bring charger)
*something to entertain you on the bus (see below for suggestions!)
*any medications you might need to take during the day
*travel neck pillow and light blanket (especially for longer day trips)
*any weather related items (umbrella or rain jacket, walking shoes, sweater)
*camera (be sure you have fresh batteries or full charge, and plenty of memory space or film)
Headed out for a longer, multi-day trip and afraid you might forget something?
Ok, so you have all of your items laid out, ready to pack. Now how do you fit it all in your suitcase? I found this really great short article from the New York Times by David Ahntholz, and Heather Poole, an airline stewardess from LA about packing. She shows us how she can pack for a 10 DAY TRIP and fit it all in a carry-on suitcase!
For her 10 day trip, she packed the following in her carry on suitcase:
three pairs of shorts
three pairs of dress pants
one skirt
three pairs of casual pants or jeans
three nightgowns
three bathing suits & one sarong
three lightweight sweaters
four dresses
10 casual shirts
six dress shirts
a clutch, toiletries and two pairs of shoes
ALL IN ONE CARRY ON BAG! I dont think I would bring quite so much on a 10 day trip, but good for her for squeezing that all in there!

Stuck for ideas for keeping busy on the bus? In general, if our travel time between the Cape and our destination is over 3 hours, we will bring a movie to play on the bus TV screens for everyone to enjoy. In addition, our buses offer free WiFi so you can bring any internet ready device with you. Some (but not all) buses have outlets available for charging your devices. Unfortunately, we do not know ahead of time the specific bus we will have, so it is best to come with your devices fully charged (but bring the cords so you can charge them at your hotel!). Out of consideration for others, please be sure to turn the volume off on all electronic devices, or use headphones.
Entertainment suggestions include:
*book, magazine, newspaper or e-reader (Kindle, Nook, etc)
*game book magazine (crossword puzzles, Sudoku, etc)
*handheld electronic games
*tablet device (iPad)
*download a new game or two for your smartphone or tablet ahead of time
*portable DVD player (dont forget headphones)
*MP3 player (dont forget headphones)
*knitting or other portable craft
*notebook & pencil for writing or drawing
One of the benefits of traveling with Funtastic Getaways is that you dont have to remember to bring hotel or attraction confirmations or tickets. You dont need driving directions or maps. We take care of all these details for you! But for all trips it is a good idea to bring along a copy of your travel itinerary with Funtastic Getaways contact information. In addition you might want to consider packing the following (particularly on multi-day trips and trips that take you outside of the United States)
Copies of the following documents (just in case the originals get lost, be sure to pack them separately from the originals):
*Passport and/or Visa
*photo identification
*travel insurance documents
*credit card numbers & contact info (in case your cards get stolen so you can contact them right away)
*Medical insurance information & contact numbers
*lists of medications & dosages
*contact number of doctors whom regularly treat you
Finally, here is a list of other miscellaneous things to do before traveling:
*arrange for pet care
*if you will be gone for more than a day or two arrange for mail & newspapers to be picked up or held
*pay any bills that may come due while you are away
*turn off water, remove perishables from refrigerator, take out trash, lock windows and doors, water houseplants
*leave a few lights on timers and mow lawn before you leave during the summer
*reschedule any automatic services (housekeeping, lawn/pool maintenance, etc)
*call your bank and credit cards to let them know you will be traveling so charges will not end up declined (especially if you will be leaving the country)
*consider adding long distance or international calling plan to your cell phone while you are away to avoid high roaming charges on your next bill

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. 2Timothy 3:1-4

Ex Homosexual, Now Child Of God :
1Corinthians 6:9-11 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Repent and believe the Gospel !

Weekend spent with good company X fav food.
Not much words for this post really, sorry! Not much time for updates nowadays, at least till exams are over >< Oh and this is very overdue, do pardon!

HVV Imari Embellished Dress in White, XS
Review: I really love LWDs (little white dresses, not black haha), can never ever have enough of them! Like really at least 1/3 of my wardrobe is made of white dresses haha. This one is one of my favs! White + fleur + embellishments= major love! :) I got to say this is definitely my fav buy from HVV thus far after many years of patronizing them. For about 35 this dress is of superb quality and the design and workmanship is fantastic :) The silver linings and embellishments are sewn on tightly and the patterns and colour complement the white chiffon portion very well. It has a slight capped sleeve design for a classier look. Oh and there are subtle pleats as well:) Overall no complaints at all for this dress! It really is a good buy to me, it looks like something you can get at miss selfridge/topshop but really at a fraction of the price!:)
& thats all for the really short update! Will post longer ones soon after my exams which is in... less than a week. Sigh. Hope all goes well -crosses fingers-

In my last post about building your dream home, I painted a gloom and doom picture of total financial annihilation for unwary doctors who stumble into an adjustable rate mortgage, thus beginning what I called The ARMs Race. Today I'll tell you how to win The ARMs Race. And the secret is...
Don't get an adjustable rate mortgage in the first place!
Really, there are other perfectly good ways to finance the construction of your dream home, and one of my favorites is what the mortgage know-it-alls call a "one close."
How the One Close Loan works... There are two phases of owning your dream home: building it, and living in it.
While you're building it, you need a construction "loan." I put "loan" in quotes because it's not really a loan in the truest sense of the word. It's actually a line of credit where the bank reimburses the builder on an as-needed (called "percent completion") basis. This way, you only pay interest on the part of the construction loan you've actually used.
While you're living in your dream home, you need "permanent" financing; what most people think of when they hear the word "mortgage."
It would be cool if you could get just one loan to cover both phases of owning your dream home, but you can't. Why? Because nobody (including your builder) knows exactly what your finished home will cost.
But you can apply for and close on the construction and permanent loans at the same time in what they call a "construction-to-permanent loan."
... and why it's so great... A one close loan lets you lock both the interest rate on the construction loan AND the interest rate on the permanent loan at the same time. This means you'll know EXACTLY what rate you'll get when you're home's finished (as many as 15 months into the future), AND if home mortgage rates rise dramatically while you're building your dream home, you won't have to worry that your payments will grow larger than your budget.
So, now that you know what you want, you can march into your mortgage broker's office, slap the hardwood top of his paper-strewn desk , and shout confidently, "I want a one close construction loan with permanent financing in a 30-year fixed product, I want a 15-month* lock, and I want it NOW."
...but why you've never heard about it. With a sly smirk on his face, your mortgage broker will stare thoughtfully out the window for a moment and then turn to you with a sigh to say, "I can do that, but it's going to cost you."
He knows that the 15-month lock is going to add up to one full percentage point to the cost of your loan (about $10,000 on a one million dollar mortgage), and he's not sure how you're going to feel about it. As I said in my last post, up-front fees like these usually cause casual rate shoppers to move on to cheaper pastures, and that's why this one close loan with a long lock date may be news to you.
You see, you can have certainty in the rate you'll pay on your mortgage for 30 years after the home's finished, and you can lock in that rate 15 months before construction begins, but somebody has to bear the risk that rates will rise after the loan is locked, but before the permanent loan is funded.
After all, mortgage interest rates are a market-driven commodity, and there's risk involved for the lender.
When you pay a fee up front to lock in the rate, it's like buying rate insurance, if you will. When you pay that fee, you're compensating the lender for the risk they're bearing.
Is this One Close financing right for your family? The answer here is "yes" if...
- The estimated price tag is near the high end of your budget
- You're believe things will come in on-time and on-budget,
- You don't mind paying a premium when it comes to your financial security, and
- You don't like to gamble when it comes to owning your dream home.
After all is said and done, you'll feel good knowing you've provided your family with a high quality home, and you'll feel even better knowing you can still afford that home for years to come... even if it costs a little more today.
* Here, I used a 15-month lock in my example. What you really want is a lock that's about 3 months longer than your builder's estimate for the time it takes to finish your house, just in case he's slow in finishing the job.

Why Our Online Marketing Company Exists
When we speak with small and mid-sized business owners and executives about online marketing, there are three common themes:
- Online marketing is critical to their long-term success, and has become a business priority.
- Even though it is a priority, they are not taking full advantage of its possibilities.
- They don't have the internal skill sets, or they've hired third parties and things aren't working.
We know business owners are trying to figure out the best way to proceed with digital marketing; we've developed our business model to make it simple for small and mid-sized businesses to do so.
Our Business Model
Core Online Marketing exists to help small and mid-sized businesses exploit the power of online marketing.
We recognize that business owners don't want to build internal teams or manage multiple digital marketing service providers. We also know they want to work with reputable companies that understand their business and who want to build long-term partnerships.
We have built our business model to take care of all online marketing activities, including:
- Strategic online marketing planning
- Development of websites that are optimized for search and conversion
- Creating all online content such as blogs, videos and infographics
- Management of all appropriate social media platforms
- Email marketing
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Any other online activities that drive tangible business results
We work collaboratively with our clients to achieve their desired objectives. Ultimately we become part of their organizations; in effect, we become their outsourced online marketing team. And we do this at a cost of adding one full-time headcount – $3,000 to $5,000 per month. It's that simple.
Our Approach
We specialize in digital marketing, but we are business and marketing strategists first and foremost. Our approach is to understand your goals and priorities, and then identify and execute the appropriate online strategies and tactics that will drive predictable and sustainable revenue growth.
It all starts with a plan. Jumping in with both feet is commendable, but this approach will likely result in you spinning your wheels and wasting your hard earned money. A sound, strategic online marketing plan is a critical first step for long-term success.
Once we develop the plan, Core takes full responsibility for building the online marketing infrastructure: website, analytics, social networks, email marketing systems, web-based applications, etc.
We then manage and execute all the ongoing online marketing activities: content development, search engine optimization, social networking, analytics, email marketing, social/online advertising, etc.
Relentless execution is the key to online marketing success.
Our Guiding Principles
- Do the Right Thing
In an industry fraught with questionable tactics and outrageous claims, we are committed to sound marketing principles, "white hat tactics", and practices that are in the best long-term interests of our clients.
- Shared Goals
Our only source of revenue is our monthly management fees; we don't have any self-serving interests. Our success is 100% aligned with your success. If online marketing activities are not producing results, you get rid of us. It's that simple.
- Strategy First
We are very business-focused in our approach. Online marketing plans are based on your growth objectives and business priorities. We develop sound and pragmatic strategies that make sense for your business.
- Relentless Execution
Online success requires active engagement on a day-in, day-out basis. We take full responsibility for consistently executing online activities so they drive the desired business results.
- Transparency
We constantly analyze results and review them with clients in a formal monthly meeting where we explain things in a language they understand. We will let you know what's working and what isn't, and what must be done to improve results. Our job is to help you grow.

So I don't know how you spent your Saturday night, but I'm going to tell you how I spent mine, because it was positively spectacular. First, I went to see The Vagina Monologues. I know, it came out in the 90's and where have I BEEN? But for those of you who have never seen it, it's worth going. The Vagina Monologues is made up of a varying number of monologues read by a varying number of women. Every monologue somehow relates to the vagina, be it through sex, love, rape, menstruation, mutilation, masturbation, birth, orgasm, the variety of names for the vagina, or simply as a physical aspect of the body. A recurring theme throughout the piece is the vagina as a tool of female empowerment, and the ultimate embodiment of individuality (courtesy of Wikipedia). The play does a nice job of making you feel good about your vagina, if you have one. I do, however wish it included the more positive aspects of heterosexual relationships. While I understand that one of the goals of the play is to raise awareness about violence against women, there were parts of the play that felt like flat-out man bashing, which I don't particularly agree with.
The Vagina Monologues is the cornerstone of the V-Day movement, whose participants stage benefit performances of the show and/or host other related events in their communities. Such events take place worldwide each year between February 1 and April 30. The performances generally benefit rape crisis centers and similar resource centers for women. This year in Santa Monica, V-Day benefitted Peace Over Violence, an LA based charity that helps women who have been physically and sexually assaulted. A portion of the proceeds also went to women and girls in Haiti who are launching a campaign to end violence in their country with the help of sponsors and activists.
Following the play, there was a lovely after party with food, drinks and…pole dancing! A group of women known as The Flying Vs performed on two freestanding poles smack dab in the middle of the after party. The Flying Vs are made up of four women: Tracy Mueller, Christina Grance, Rie Katagiri and Katy Kamen. All four women have an S Factor background, and two of the four teach pole dancing at S Factor. Rie teaches at Movement Studio LA and Katy offers private lessons in Malibu. Their first performance was a celebration of the transition from girl to woman. The dancers started off in tutus and tank tops and as the song progressed, they shed their layers of girlish clothing to reveal womanly curves and lingerie. The second performance was an erotic dance to Moulin Rouge's "Roxanne". The message was: I'm unapologetically sexy. Now watch me and worship. In both performances, the dancers moved slowly, deliberately and extremely sensually. While there were some beautiful pole tricks, the focus was just as much on the floor as it was on the pole. The dancers were in almost constant eye contact with one another, feeding off one another's energy, which heightened the eroticism of the performance.
I think the presence of pole dancing, especially an incredibly sensual form of pole dancing at this particular charity event, is significant for three reasons. First, it shows the spirit of the pole dance community in a positive light. It is possible to be sensual and celebrate the beauty of the female body without denigrating or objectifying it. Second, it reinforces the idea that ending violence against women (which is the driving force behind all the V Day celebrations) does not mean erasing or hiding or restricting their sexuality. On the contrary. The end of violence against women, in a certain way, means that women can fully own and express their sexuality and its power without fear of attack, judgment or any other negative repercussions. And this is precisely what happened on Saturday night. Finally, pole dancing for a charitable cause shows that women can choose to dance, they can dance for reasons that are positive, and that the pole dance community is devoted to helping those in need. In other words, we have heart. And if you have any doubt about that, then check out Anjel Dust's latest pole fundraiser for Japan on April 16th and Emilee Wilson's fundraiser, also for Japan, at The Good Hurt on April 4th. We love to dance, but we love it even more if it's for a good cause!
At the end of their last performance, The Flying V's walked into their audience, who had formed a circle around them, and pulled women out onto the floor to dance with them. It was a symbolic move, one that communicated that the dance was for all women. I cannot begin to express to you the joy of looking around at a sea of women, all moving sensually on the floor, on the poles, all celebrating their bodies and their sexuality, all blissfully uninhibited and feeling safe and celebrated. It was…awesome. And it made me want to be a Flying V!

+ Q: What is laser hair removal?
A: Laser hair removal is a procedure to remove unwanted hair from the body by using a "laser beam" light with different wavelengths. Laser hair removal is performed by a certified and trained laser specialist or a physician; he or she positions the laser on to the skin. The laser works by destroying the hair follicles that are in their "active growth cycle" at the time of treatment. Some hair follicles are active at any given time, while other hair follicles enter this active phase at a different period. Because of this, several treatments are needed to destroy all the hair follicles in an area.
+ Q: How should I prepare for my first session?
A: Please shave the area to be treated prior to your session. Refrain from waxing or tweezing in the four weeks leading up to your session. It is also necessary to avoid sun exposure, self-tanner, and antibiotics for at least two weeks before your session. Finally, please do not use prescription topical treatments for at least one week prior to your session. Please inform your esthetician if you have taken Accutane in the past year. Also inform the esthetician if you are currently pregnant or nursing.
+ Q: Do I need to avoid anything after my session?
A: Please refrain from working out for at least 24 hours after your session. Also, avoid heat (saunas, hot baths, or hot showers). Be sure to keep the treated area out of the sun for at least one week afterward.
+ Q: Does laser hair removal work on all hair?
A: Laser hair removal works best on dark hair. It is ineffective for red, blonde and gray hair. People with medium to light brown hair may not see a significant reduction. However, these people may notice slowed growth and fewer hairs.
+ Q: Is laser hair removal permanent?
A: Laser hair removal is typically considered to be permanent, and the Food and Drug Administration approved this procedure calling it "permanent reduction." Generally, this means clients shouldn't think of laser hair removal as a procedure that will rid every single strand of hair from an area. Clients may develop new growth that requires occasional touch-up treatments (one to two times a year) after the first set of treatments. At Sacred Skincare, we ask clients to keep in mind that it's nearly impossible to judge how someone's body system will react to a specific treatment. Results might be influenced by a variety of different factors--such as an underlying medical condition, which may cause continuous growth and make it seem like the laser isn't working.
+ Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: At least six to nine treatments every four to six weeks are generally necessary to achieve significant hair removal. Factors that determine the length of treatment include the area you choose to treat, the texture of the hair, the frequency of treatments, the history of waxing, tweezing, shaving, and depilatories, etc.
+ Q: Is laser hair removal painful?
A: Everyone's pain threshold is different, but most people actually find laser hair removal to be less painful than waxing. During a laser treatment, you will feel as if your skin is being snapped by a rubber band. We minimize discomfort by applying a cool gel to the area before treatment. Please be aware that having a laser treatment during your menstrual cycle may increase sensitivity.
+ Q: What are the possible risks and side effects?
A: Side effects occur infrequently are generally temporary. If any of the conditions below last for more than five days, make sure to contact Sacred Skincare. The esthetician needs to know in order to adjust settings on your following treatment.
Itching during and after treatment
Redness for up to three days
Swelling for up to three days
Pain and feelings of tingling or numbness
Crusting or scab formation (on ingrown hairs)
Temporary pigment change (hypo-pigmentation or hyper-pigmentation)

Before leaving Petoskey, MI, we had a friend recommend us to try Dripworks which is a local coffee shop in downtown Petoskey, MI!
It was such a cute little shop to visit! I always find myself catching up with friends at different local coffee shops in Lexington, KY so I was very pleased to check out this location in Michigan!
I requested to try "a fancy drink" of course, because who wouldn't want to capture the beauty in a cup of joe like this? Not to mention, this picture was taken with my new Iphone 8 portrait mode! The camera quality on this phone does not disappoint, if you've been on the fence about upgrading…the Iphone 8 is well worth it in my opinion!
I chose the "Vanilla Bean Speciality Latte" which was absolutely delicious! Next time I would probably try the cold version (just personal preference) but regardless, the coffee was great and the staff made the experience so enjoyable!
They also had a variety of fresh pastries you could purchase that would make your mouth water just trying to select the right one! Some of my personal favorites were the Blueberry Pinwheel and the Morning Bun (cinnamon roll).
Next time you visit Petoskey, MI I would totally recommend Dripworks! Not to mention, if you are a big coffee lover like me, there were several other coffee shops located in the downtown area like "North Perk Coffee" and "Roast & Toast". I persoanlly didn't have a chance to stop by any others but they're on my list to check out for next time!

Current Anemia Management Practices May Put Chronic Kidney Disease Patients At Severe Health Risk/
One-size-fits-all protocol-based approaches to anemia management with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) may result in undesired patterns of hemoglobin variability in people with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), states a very recent study in the Journal of American Society of America. Individualized ESA dosing decreases total hemoglobin (Hb) variability and associated risks including increased transfusions and cardiovascular incidents.
Recommended Reading: Causes and Treatment for Extreme Headaches in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
The hormone erythropoietin is produced by the kidneys naturally and travels to the bone marrow to turn on the mechanisms that help red blood cells "mature." When a CKD patient's kidneys begin to decline the production of red cells progressively reduce and the cells responsible for manufacturing erythropoietin die, causing anemia. Anemia is a well-known and common disorder in patients with CKD that cause a "marked" increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality including heart failure, coronary artery disease, and sudden cardiac death.
Recommended Reading: Vitamin C May Be Too Low In Chronic Kidney Disease Patients on Dialysis
The primary findings of the double blind study were, after following dialysis patients for 12 months, 72.5% of those who received individualized anemia treatment maintained their hemoglobin, at a desired level (between 10 to 12 g/dL). This was compared with 61.9% in patients who received treatment based on current standardized protocol. Also, those who were given individualized treatment experienced fewer dips of Hb below 10 g/dL (11.8%), compared to the standard treatment (24.7%).
Recommended Reading: Many with CKD die from Cardiovascular Disease instead of Kidney Disease
When asked, Daniel Coyne, MD believes that individualized anemia treatment is practical and possible for CKD patients to receive, "but in most patients it is unnecessary, as newer protocols are appropriate for a large majority of patients." However, KidneyBuzz.com suggests that your Nephrologist is best equipped to determine if your personal health situation is best corrected by altering routine practice. In the past, whether Nephrologists or the Dialysis Provider controls the anemia treatment may differ among dialysis chains and facilities. Recently, providers have become sensitive to Nephrologists deciding that anemia management in certain patients needs to be individualized.

Kenya is home to many outstanding safari destinations and national parks, the finest of them is undoubtedly the Maasai Mara National Reserve, or "the Mara", as insiders call it. The Mara is part of the phenomenal Serengeti-Mara biosphere.
Breathtaking views over savannah and gently rolling hills provide the visitor the rare opportunity of always seeing some game as there is little vegetation to block the view.
The Mara is home for all big cats: leopard, cheetah and the rarely spotted lynx-like caracal, and prides itself with the largest lion population in Africa, best seen during the drier season from December to February.
A world-famous event occurs in the Mara once a year. Not only are there more than two million wildebeests, zebras, eland antelopes, Thomson gazelles, and other hoofed animals, but also those visitors who wish to watch the colossal spectacle of the Great Migration. It is classified as one of the '7 New Wonders of the World'. And a wonder it truly is!
Arriving from the northern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, up to 30 mile long columns of ungulates pass through the Serengeti National Park and cross the border into Kenya as they migrate into the Mara plains. The animals densely populate the shimmering verdant grasslands, soaked by permanent rivers, the Mara and the Talek River. The riverine forests are inhabited with rare and awesome leopards.
Several Mara River lodges form platforms for Gnu watching. This is where the action is. The scene is filled with a multitude of grey wildebeest bodies, nervously waiting for the right time to leap into the raging waters, where hungry Nile crocodiles lurk, anticipating their share. Meanwhile, lions hide in the riverbank's bush thickets, to feast on some unfortunates who wrongly thought they'd made it to safety.
There are few guarantees in nature's timing but generally, it is recommended to visit the Mara between July and October when the herds of migrating animals arrive at the end of their annual cycle, rest for a while, and then return to the Serengeti in Tanzania. This incredible journey pattern has been repeated year after year for millennia.
Maasai Mara is an all year safari haven, populated with all the mammals, birds and reptiles a safari tourist longs to see. First and foremost it is home of the "The Big Five" – elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo,
The most endangered among these is the Black Rhino, poached and hunted for their precious horn which is, tragically for the rhino, believed by some people to be a powerful aphrodisiac.
The number of black rhinos has decreased dramatically in the last third of the 20th century, but due to frequent patrols and intensified anti-poaching measures, the number is on the rise again, increasing the visitor's chances, to spot one of the approximately 50 rhinos, mainly found in the Mara Triangle.
Elephants and buffalos are still found in plenty. Herds of more than 500 animals can be observed stomping over the plains in their ever continuing search for food. Hippopotamus, or at least their distinctive backs, can be frequently witnessed in the Mara River, and are often heard during the night when they leave their wet shelter. A little-known fact about hippos is that they spend the day in the water to protect their delicate skin which is easily burnt by the tropical sun. As yet there are no SPF lotions for hippos! Lions prides of different sizes can be spotted almost everywhere and the nights vibrate with their roars.
These animals and many more plus the 'real African' landscape makes the Maasai Mara National Reserve the darling of all game parks in Kenya.

"The Holy Spirit speaks to us concerning the miracle-workings of the saints during the period of their life on earth, that they bore witness to the power dwelling within them." The Elder Cleopa of Romania continues:
Many people were healed only by touching the Apostle Paul's body and handkerchief, while others were healed only by being under the shadow of the Apostle Peter. For inasmuch as God has glorified them, giving them miraculous power, so too should we venerate them, for in this way we honor God, Who bestowed His grace on them. Indeed, we are obliged to honor, not the bones themselves, but their divine power. We don't erect Churches to the holy relics, but in those holy places where holy relics are discovered, we raise churches of God to the glory of God."
The Elder offers these thoughts when explaining the true blessing and significance of Holy Relics, sacred items that have been removed from much of the piety of the Western Church, and dare I say the Orthodox Church in the New World.
As we discussed in the previous lesson, "Holy Relics are not a sign, but a proof of the existence of God." How do they prove the existence of God? Saint Nicholas Kavasilas reminds us: "When someone exposes his body to the sun, he has signs of the fact, for his body is sunburned. The same thing is true of the holy relics. They are a proof and manifestation of the existence of God." The bones of the saints still possess the Grace of the Holy Spirit from when the body was animated with life, and therefore the relics are in some cases uncorrupt, in other instances fragrant or myrrh bearing. For Bishop Hierotheos the reason we approach Holy Relics and are also convinced of the existence of God is because, "…the grace of God is working and performing miracles through them."
In the Epistle of the Church of Smyrna, we gain a glimpse of the great respect shown to Holy Relics as well as the means by which they were incorporated into the life of the second century church:
"We surrounded his relics [those of Polycarp the Bishop] as if they were an heirloom, more costly than gold and more valued than diamond stones and we placed them in the appropriate place. Here we would be gathered with joy and the Lord would give us the blessing of celebrating the anniversary of the day of his martyrdom and honoring his victories and other sublime spiritual struggles."
The Relics of the Martyred Bishop Polycarp were considered more precious than gems and the site of the reliquary was a place of annual prayer, commemoration and the celebration of the Eucharist. It's no wonder that as the centuries passed, the cult of the saints and the veneration of the Relics would be so common, yet profound in the lives of the faithful, the Seventh Ecumenical Council in 787 would direct that the Relics of martyrs be placed in the antimision, or the cloth on which the Divine Liturgy is celebrated up, which remains on the Holy Altar Table.
According to the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium "…From the fourth century onward, holy bodies were exhumed, dismembered and distributed by solemn 'translation' to various local churches." Why would a local church want but a small relic? Saint Theodoritos of Kyros explains, "The undivided grace of even a divided body remains, and even that very small relic has the same power as a piece of evidence which has not been divided in any way." Even though the relics of a particular saint may be found throughout the world, we are reminded by Bishop Nikolai of blessed memory, "On the Day of the (General) Resurrection, [God] will bring together all their bodily components and raise them in glory."
The blessing of holy relics is that they remain "objects in which God Himself manifests all the miraculous power of His Grace." These words of the Elder Cleopas are in the tradition of countless other saints who like Saint John Chrysostom, could "See the power of God seated beside them, the grace of the Spirit surrounding them, the glory of the heavenly light wrapping them round." Saint Ephraim the Syrian relates the following concerning the relics of holy Martyrs: "Even after death they act as if alive, healing the sick, expelling demons and by the power of the Lord rejecting every evil influence of the demons. This is because the miraculous grace of the Holy Spirit is always present in the holy relics." For Saint John of Damascus he suggested that Christ gave the relics of the saints as saving fountains "which in divers manners pour out benefactions and gush with fragrant ointment." Similarly, Saint Gregory Palamas noted "The holy fragrance given off from them, the perfumes which gush forth, the gifts of grace of the cures, the miraculous actions of the powers, the manifold and saving manifestations to us through them."
In any instance, the greatest benefit of Holy Relics is that they assist the faithful in their process of sanctification. Saint Gregory the Theologian provides the following insight:
When a man is sanctified, he becomes a social factor as well; he functions rightly in society, in his family and in all his interpersonal relations. In this light we can see the great social work of the holy relics. Apart from their various good works, protecting the cities and lands, at the same time they are helping man towards sanctification.
I conclude with a beautiful and poignant eulogy detailing the way Saint Ignatius was translated and greeted by the faithful:
You, inhabitants of Antioch, have sent forth a bishop and received a martyr; you sent him forth with prayers, and received him back with crowns; and not only you, but all the cities, which lay between. For how do you think that they behaved when they saw his remains being brought back? What pleasure was produced! How they rejoiced! With what laudations on all sides did beset the crowned one! For as with a noble athlete, who has wrestled down all his antagonists, and who comes forth radiant glory from the arena, the spectators receive him, and do not suffer him to tread the earth, bringing him home on their shoulders and according him countless praises…. At this time the holy Martyr bestows grace to the very same cities, establishing them in piety, and from that time to this day he enriches this city.

Meet Award Winning Children's Author Mayra Calvani
It is such a great pleasure to have Mayra Calvani here on my blog today. She is always such an inspiration to me and my readers.
First of all, I'd like to thank Irene Roth for having me on her blog and Donna McDine for putting this virtual blog tour together.
To be honest, I never thought I'd become a children's book author. I started writing fiction when I was about 12, but back then I wrote supernatural stories. My taste for the paranormal continued throughout my teens, twenties and early thirties. It wasn't until I had my second child that, somehow, I got bitten by the children's writing bug.
Reading all those picture books to my kids at night was the biggest influence. So, one day, I decided to sit down and write a children's story. That first story eventually became my first published children's book, Crash!
Since then, I've never looked back. I've always compared writing for children with walking on a rainbow (in fact, this is the name of my picture book writing workshop). The world of writing for children is a world full of color, imagination and possibilities.
I still write fiction and nonfiction for adults, but I have to admit that children's literature, including teen fiction, is my new passion.
My latest children's title, The Water Cycle: Water Play Series Book 1, for ages 4-8, follows the water droplets in their journey from the clouds to the earth and back to the clouds again. Written in a lyrical style, the book takes a new angle on the water cycle by showing the feelings it evokes in people. It also has fun learning activities at the end.
Here's the first review!
"Written in Calvani's delightful prose. "Huddle inside the CLOUD high up in the sky, the water droplets are excited," While also complemented by the imaginative artwork of Alexander Morris' fun illustrations, makes this book both easy to read and informative. The author also includes for her young readers a word search and glossary learning activity—a great addition to every teacher and homeschool parents' teaching library."
Carol Fraser Hagen, Reading specialist and special education teacher.

Timothy Nolan, disappeared September 9th 2015, Body Found September 15th, Yosemite National Park
Tim Nolan, 36, had a wilderness permit to backpack from Happy Isles to Tuolumne Meadows from September 1-4, 2015 in the Yosemite National Park. According to his mother, he had planned on hiking a loop: Happy Isles-Little Yosemite Valley-Sunrise Lakes-Tuolumne Meadows-Lyell Canyon-Rafferty Creek-Vogelsang-Merced Lake-Little Yosemite Valley-Happy Isles, ending September 9.
But Nolan failed to show up and after extensive searches by park rangers, utilising ground teams, dog teams, and the park's helicopter. Visitors to the park later spotted Nolan's body in the afternoon of September 15th.
It had been quite a month of disappearances in Yosemite National Park in September 2015.
On September 1, the National Parks Service announced it found the body of James Michael Millet, Jr., who had been missing for three weeks. Millet, 39, had gone missing during a planned hike to Upper Yosemite Falls. Then, on September 6, 24-year-old graduate student Matthew Baldwin, studying at University of Nevada, Reno, was found deceased near the El Capitan Gully. He was last seen Aug. 25.
Despite a request to the Yosemite National Park in February 2016 for a Freedom of Information Act request for a law enforcement report on Tim Nolan, the Department of the Interior refused to grant authority on the grounds of privacy. Why was the DOI so reluctant to put information in the public domain? What happened to Tom and the other dead hikers in the summer of 2015? There was little media attention relating to the circumstances behind the death and particularly the cause of death on that fateful hike.

Labasa Chinese man turns 100
Longest surviving Asian in Fiji turns 100
Tuesday June 27, 2006, adapted from Fijilive.
Harry Yee Foong Gau believes he can live for another decade after celebrating his 100th birth at the weekend in Suva. He said the secret of his long life was being cautious with his life. "I have a normal meal three times a day but I'm cautious and very particular with what I eat. I eat almost everything, but it's the quantity I take," he said. "I have a glass or two of whisky every day. I take a walk every morning, exercise every day and I always try and go out for swimming to make my blood veins moving. If I have a chance and I walk to the grocery shop every day to open it. I drink a little bit of grog but I hardly smoke. The secret is eat on time and sleep on time. I have been doing it in the last 50 years and the rate I'm in I can live for another 10 years,'' he said.
He is from the village of Mewkong, district of Tai Peng in the province of Canton, which is located in the south of mainland China. Yee Foong had been in school for seven years in China before coming to Fiji in 1927.
He knew Fiji through one of his uncles, who had a big vegetable farm in Tamavua.
The trip to Fiji took a month, travelling first to Hong Kong, then to the Philippines, Sydney and then to Suva.
He was one of the first students to be enrolled at the then St Paul Chinese School now Yat-Sen School to learn English. He said the school was set up by Anglican Priests for Chinese children who wanted to learn the English language.
To his understanding there were already 2000 Chinese people living in Fiji when he set foot here. His first job was at a bakery in Toorak, before working with other Chinese businesses in Suva for nine months.
He then went to Labasa in 1929, becoming the first Chinese immigrant in the North. He set up a small grocery shop in the town's main street and named it Yuen Hing Store, which is now run by his youngest son Robert Keith Yee.
He has three daughters and a son. The eldest daughter lives in China and is 68 years old with three children. Another daughter lives in Canada while he lives with his only son in Labasa.
He has been to China four times and last visited his village in China in 1990. His wife, Tong Chinyan, died at the age of 85 two years ago. Yee Foong has 11 grandchildren and three great grandchildren, two of whom live in mainland China.

There is a significant Chinese community in Fiji that have been there a long time. Sometimes a Chinese guy married a Fijian woman.
Recently there is a new group arriving in Fiji, often in suspect circumstances with dodgy passports, etc. and the feeling is that this group is less welcome.

Living in a dorm room on campus is a rite of passage. New friends. Late-night pizza. Group study sessions. Feeling claustrophobic because your roommate brought waaay too much stuff.
Hey, nobody said dorm life is easy. But, with a few clever dorm room storage ideas, you can give yourself more room to enjoy the college experience.
If you'll be among the thousands of students moving into a college dorm this summer, you won't want to miss these super-simple—and super-smart—dorm organization tips. Ready. Set. Scroll!
Reduce space-related tension with a few well-placed, inexpensive tension rods. Tension rods are dirt-cheap and can be used in a variety of surprising ways. For dorm dwellers, they can be used inside closets or small, awkward spaces to create additional storage space perfect for hanging clothing, belts, charging cables or even high-heeled shoes.
Use binder clips to keep your cords out of a bind. Ahh, the humble binder clip. Found scattered across desktops the world over, these little guys aren't just for clamping your papers together anymore. Try placing a few of these on the edge of your desk with the arms facing outward. Now, thread your phone, Ethernet, USB and headphone cords through the openings to help prevent your cables from getting tangled up or from falling behind your desk, never to be seen again.
Rise above the clutter with bed risers that double as power outlets. It's amazing how much extra storage space you can gain with just a few more inches of clearance under your bed. Combine this dorm room organization tip with inexpensive, low-profile plastic storage bins and you'll have plenty of room for seasonal clothing, extra school supplies, dry food items, or anything you don't need to access on a regular basis.
Get double the use out of your stuff in half the space. Here's a prime example: an ironing board is an essential piece of gear for any fashion-forward student. But, beyond providing a flat surface for your clothing, there's not much else you can do with it. On the other hand, an old TV tray can pull double duty as an ironing surface AND a portable work area that you can use to relocate to the lounge or even the great outdoors.
College student self storage space: the final frontier. At the end of the day, there's only so much you can do with limited space in your dorm. But, all is not lost! Look for a self storage facility close to your campus and consider renting an affordable 5x5 self storage unit. This size is perfect for most college students, and you'd be surprised how much stuff you can fit if you pack it right. Best of all, you can use your self storage unit when you go home for the summer, which not only saves space at home but also makes moving back to school easier in the fall.
We hope you found these tips useful. If you're thinking about using a storage unit for college, check out our packing suggestions for getting the most out of your rental. Or find a StorageMart location near your school today. Got questions? Contact our friendly staff for answers!
Heather is the SEO Manager at StorageMart, and holds a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with honors from Lincoln University. She strongly believes you should never leave home without a book, and admits to having a coffee addiction.
This move-in special applies to both new and returning customers. Look for this special when selecting which unit you'd like to hold or rent.
I found the staff to be very helpful and made the entire experience so much easier than I was expecting. My first time putting anything in storage and the explanations given and patience shown were exceptional. I would recommend this company to anyone needing to store anything.

Just rented a storage locker this weekend. They made the entire experience easy and fast. My storage unit was nice and clean and had plenty of extra room due to the high ceilings. The rules were explained right up front. Great location, easy access.

I rented a large climate controlled unit and was extremely satisfied with everything! This is the best storage facility I have had the privilege of using. The staff is wonderful, always happy, and very polite. The grounds are clean. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone in need of storage.

Early last week, I posted a video sneak peek of my adventures diving the Great Barrier Reef.
In this post, I share my very best and favorite photos taken with my Olympus Stylus TG-3 camera (waterproof up to 15m). It's the camera I used for the video and it's the same one I've been using since I started my travels over a year ago.
I love this camera because it tells me how deep I am and warns me when I'm getting to its depth limit. As a result, I was able to take photos worry-free on nearly all 11 dives I did while living on board the ScubaPro III.
Click to see each image in a larger view (and learn the names of what I captured!).
Sea Turtles
Mollusks, worms, and other awesomely weird things
These photos barely do the Great Barrier Reef justice. I hope they've illustrated, at least a little bit, the extent of this underwater wonderland's beauty.
If you want to dive the Great Barrier Reef and capture amazing photos like this, read my review of the liveaboard experience.
Want to see more underwater beauty?
Check out the photos my dive instructor took while I got my certification on Ko Tao in Thailand! Or the photos snapped during my dives in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand.
Soon, I'll be posting about my trip to Niue Island including the 4 dives I did there. The visibility underwater surrounding the island gets up to 100m! It's unbelievable!!! Stay tuned!

We have successfully deployed ActiveSync profiles to Iphones and Ipads, We tried to using the "Iphone Configuration Utility" and imported the xml into the K3000 and it did not work. we then made the profile in the K3000 and used it to configure "Exchange ActiveSync" and it worked, we have not been able to get it to work on android devices, we have tried a Nexus 7 tablet and a Samsung Galaxy S 3,
All Answers
I was also able to make this work directly from the appliance. If I remember well it worked without issues. Are you using a testing account for this? Does the testing account have a mailbox? This is the only issue I had, I had enrolled the devices with an account which didn't have a mailbox, but again, the problem was that I couldn't push the profile.
Let us know about the solution.

The Rev. Dr. Harry Kern Brobst died on January 13, 2010, in Joplin, Missouri. He was 100 years old.
Rev. Brobst was born on February 11, 1909, in Wilmington, Delaware, to Harry Walter and Cora Annie Kern Brobst. In 1935, he graduated from the Butler Hospital Training School for Psychiatric Nurses in Providence, RI. He supervised the Charles V. Chapin Clinic there for several years before earning an undergraduate degree from Brown University in 1939. During these years, he befriended the author H. P. Lovecraft. His memories of Lovecraft were recounted in the book, Lovecraft Remembered, in the chapter "Autumn in Providence: Harry K. Brobst on Lovecraft" by pulp fiction author, Will Murray.
Rev. Brobst attended the University of Pennsylvania, earning his Masters Degree in 1941 and his Doctorate in 1952. Both advanced degrees were in Psychology. He moved to Oklahoma State University, advancing to Full Professor of Psychology and teaching there for 28 years. While at Oklahoma State, he organized and directed the University's Bureau of Psychological Testing.
One of the founding members in 1947 of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Stillwater, Oklahoma, Rev. Brobst provided lay leadership in various roles for many years. Upon his mandatory retirement from Oklahoma State, he entered Phillips Theological Seminary in Enid, Oklahoma, and earned his Master of Divinity. He was fellowshipped in 1977 and ordained by the Stillwater congregation in the same year. He served the church he had helped found for three years before he retired.
Rev. Brobst is survived by his cousins Penni Lee, Amy, and William Fallow of Joplin, Missouri. His wife, Judith Sylvia Heideman, died 15 years ago. His memorial service, which he requested to be called, "A Gathering of Friends," was held at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Stillwater. Rev. Carol Fincher officiated.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Stillwater, 320 South Stallard, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74074 or the Humane Society of Stillwater, 1710 South Main Street, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74074-7945.

Some class of bio
In Léan Cullinan's family, you can't throw a stone without hitting an artist. Creative life is front and centre. Born in 1974, she has been writing since she was a child and publishing since her teens. At school she won several national awards for fiction and poetry, and in college she combined a literature degree with an ongoing study of writing.
Having graduated from TCD's MPhil in Creative Writing in 1998, Léan set out to seek her fortune. The dot-com bubble provided a job as a tech writer, and she later worked as an editor of scholarly journals. She now works from home, parenting her two young sons and pursuing a range of creative projects.
As well as writing, Léan loves singing (she's an alto with the Mornington Singers) and she's a hopeless textile nerd (in fact, technically speaking, she's an internationally exhibited quilt artist). The politics of gender, particularly as it relates to textiles, parenting, and creativity, really gets her going.
She lives in Dublin with her techie poet husband and their children. The Living (2014) is her first novel.
Want more detail? Here's more detail
Pardon me while I switch to first person... *click*
Léan Cullinan isn't the name I grew up with. I'm actually Léan Ní Chuilleanáin, but since that surname is enough to strike fear into the hearts of all but the most hardbitten phoneticians, I decided to simplify it for publication.
I was born in November 1974 in Cambridge (UK), where my parents were studying for their PhDs. This gave a distinctive flavour to my early years: I can clearly remember both parents writing up their theses, several of my toys were named after prominent medievalists, and I used to have a recurring nightmare that my dolls' house was infested by monstrous creatures called footnotes. (True fact.)
In due course we moved back to Dublin, where I became the eldest of three children who grew up surrounded by books, writing, music, and languages. We went to Irish-speaking schools, and most summers our academic parents put us all in the car and journeyed over sea and land to France and Italy. In 1980s Ireland, these experiences tended to set me apart from other children, laying the foundations for an outsider complex the size of the Phoenix Park … which, arguably, is an asset for a writer.
My family is full of writers: my mother, father, and sister have all published work in fields ranging from crime fiction to literary history; my aunt and her husband are noted poets; my grandmother published more than 50 novels in the course of a four-and-a-half-decade career. My favourite teddy was called Flaubert. Really, I didn't stand a chance.
I wrote my first stories aged 5 and turned pro (in my mind!) soon after. As a teenager I won several national prizes for short fiction and poetry in English and Irish, and I began to publish my work while I was in Trinity College Dublin studying English and French.
When TCD launched its MPhil in Creative Writing in 1997, I leaped aboard. The story I wrote for the class anthology that year was later chosen for an international collection and translated into Italian and Hungarian.
My time in Trinity allowed me to study with a host of excellent writers, including Anne Enright and Sebastian Barry. After I finished the MPhil, my artistic pursuits took a back seat for a few years while I did some living. I worked as a tech writer for one of Ireland's first web companies, and later as an editor of scholarly journals for one of the oldest publishers in the country. I had two children, decided not to be a professional musician, and underwent a sudden reinvention as an entrepreneur. In the interstices, I managed to fit my creative life: singing, sewing, painting, blogging, and always, chipping away at one novel or another, word by word by word.
Eventually, I finished one. The Living was published in 2014 by Atlantic Books (London).

- Denim jacket – This jacket was actually my dads, but I changed it to fit me and added flower detail to the pocket and cuffs. I love it because it is one of a kind.

The day Joseph John Borovich bit his dog
Joseph John Borovich's name lives on as one of the 1,177 men killed 75 years ago on the U.S.S. Arizona. But years before the Californian joined the Navy, he was the subject of brief fame in newspapers around the country because he bit his dog.
Accounts vary slightly -- perhaps the five-year-old teased the pet too much and "Bepp" bit him, or maybe the dog had stolen eggs from the barnyard. Either way, "Baby Joe," as the family called Borovich, retaliated by biting the dog on the nose. Newspaper editors latched onto the tale as proof of the old journalism saw that "Dog bites man" isn't news, but "Man bites dog" is news indeed. And "Boy bites dog" was even better.
Most of the sailors and Marines killed at Pearl Harbor were so young that they didn't have long lives full of family or career accomplishments. Their obituaries, if published at all, tend to be brief. So it is rewarding to come across anecdotes that give insight into the kind of men they were.
Such is the case with Borovich, who was the subject of a 2004 profile by Martin Cheek in the Gilroy Dispatch. He interviewed Borovich's family for a detailed account that included this information from brother George:
Joe worked on farms around Hollister, Calif. and once while spraying pear trees got pesticide mist in his face. His vision became blurry and when he tried to enlist in the Navy, he was rejected. Even so, he stopped at the recruiting depot every time he drove a load of pears to San Jose.
One day as he was leaving the office, having failed the eye test yet again, the recruiter called out. "Any man who wants to get into the Navy as badly as you do will get right in!"
Borovich enlisted in the summer of 1940. He was a seaman first class and 21 years old when he died on the Arizona.
All this week TrueTucson.com is blogging about some of the men who died 75 years ago on the Arizona. A public ceremony at 3 p.m. Sunday will dedicate a new memorial on the University of Arizona mall. The memorial includes 3-inch brass medallions for each of the 1,177 men and an outline of the deck of the ship in full scale.

JR Shinkansen, differences in Futsusha & Green-sha/
In accord with the informative web column on Japan Guide, 3 out of the 4 main islands of Japan are linked by a system of highly swift railway trains called the Shinkansen (新幹線), or referred as bullet trains in English. The maximum performance in which some of these trains travel, while customers are boarded, is referenced at averaging speeds of 320km/h or 200mph. The Shinkansen, like relatively all train services in Japan, are known for its timely manner (scheduled arrivals), comforting travels (in terms of travelers inside experience a generally quiet atmosphere) safety record (in its 50 years history there has not been any fatality of passengers caused by colliding accidents or by the train leaving its tracks) and for its concise productivity and/or efficiency.
Cost-reduced Japan Rail Passes make traveling on the Shinkansen an optimum choice in terms of expenditure and for safe traveling.
A JR pass allows one to travel on the Hikari Shinkansen, the second fastest of commercial bullet trains, as many times as one pleases throughout the designated time in which they have selected until the pass's expiration date.
Futsusha (Ordinary Seats)
Ordinary Seats, or Futsusha in Japanese, are the common seats that exists in all operating bullet trains. These sitting areas are comparable to the seats of the economy class on commercial airplanes. Futsusha seats are ordinarily cozy offering a sufficient amount of foot space. These seats are most often provided in either reserved or non-reserved seats. All ordinary seats are arranged in sequences of 3x2 (google maps view of what a typical ordinary seats for the Tohoku Shinkansen looks like).
Green-sha (Green Car)
Green-sha are similar to that of the business class on commercial airplanes, and likewise provide roomier and cozier seat settings in comparison with the standard seating (futsusha).
The Green car are organized in arrays of 2x2 (glimpse of what the green-sha generally looks like on the Tohoku Shinaknsen).
All of the green-sha seats are reserved.
A newer seat setting has also been introduced by certain bullet trains called Gran Class. These carriers are established in configurations of seats with a 2x1 pattern, and are relatable to those of the first class sections of commercial airplanes.
Shinkansen Prices
Futsusha bullet train prices, on the Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen (railway line operating between Tokyo & Shin-Osaka), ranges (based on surcharges & distance of travel) at around 170 yen (from Tokyo to Shinagawa, at the distance of 6.8 km) to 11,660 yen (from Tokyo to Hiroshima, at the distance of 894.2 km) as basic fare prices (not including surcharge).
*For Green cars an additional charge of above the price of 2,250 yen is applied on top of the cost mentioned above.
*Note that the prices are intended for a one time travel to and from the respective locations.
*Travelers using wheel chairs can be accommodated on most of the Shinkansens and limited express trains by contacting the station, two days before one's journey, in which one plans to board.

Fuelling the workers
We make over 2,000 Cornish pasties every day, by hand, and thousands of sandwiches each week at our Pool HQ (not that we're not bragging). Everything is made every morning (from 5.30am) before being whisked to our shops for our customers' breakfasts, and to Cornwall's offices and factories for mid-morning break and lunch. Here's what we make.
