Today I thought I'd bring you a small photo parade from Omarumutu Marae on the North Island's sunny East Coast. I arrived there at 11.30am almost exactly a year ago, at the beginning of my journey around East Cape. I saw the sign on the main road, just 10 kilometres north of Opotiki in the Bay of Plenty and decided to make a short detour.
The marae has a perfect location, sitting a top of small hill overlooking a pretty sand-swept bay (see below). It is home to the Ngati Ruatakena Hapu (Ngati Rua) of the Te Whakatohea iwi (tribe).
Te Whakatohea territory runs along a 35-km stretch of coastline from Ohiwa Harbour, near Ohope, to Opape just further along the cape road from Omarumutu; and inland through remote, mountainous country to Matawai
And this the Urupa (cemetery) down by the sea below the marae.
Te Whakatohea is made up of six hapu (sub-tribes): Ngati Ruatakena, Ngati Patumoana, Ngari Ngahere, Ngati Tamahaua, Ngati Ira and Te Upokorehe.

Ibis Styles has emerged as the front-runner for the number of planned hotels in Africa, knocking back Hilton and Radisson Blu which for years have been locked in a contest for first and second place.
According to the annual Hotel Chain Development Pipeline Survey, from W Hospitality Group, Ibis Styles leads the top 10 brands list. It has 28 planned hotels, followed by Radisson Blu with 25, Mercure with 24 and Hilton slipping into fourth place with 16. Ibis Styles and Mercure's first and third positions are due to AccorHotels mega-deal for 50 hotels in Angola.
While Ibis Styles leads on the number of planned hotels, the top ten rankings by number of rooms reveal a different picture. Radisson Blu leads this category with 5,693 planned rooms, Hilton is in second place with 4,851 and Ibis Styles comes in third with 3,822.
The hotel pipeline for Hilton's core brand has reduced slightly but the Hilton Garden Inn brand shows higher growth, now at 14 hotels with 2,556 rooms. Also seeing strong growth, but from a small base, is the Fairmont brand, up 109% with 1,412 planned rooms.
Currently, Tune Hotel in Westlands is now progressively rebranding to Ibis Styles Westlands this is after Accor Hotels signed a management agreement with the property owner Queensway Group.

Hina Yumihara (弓原 雛 Yumihara Hina?) is the main heroine of the Buddy Complex anime. She is a highly skilled Ensign-ranked Valiancer pilot. Upon entry into the series, she was introduced as Aoba Watase's classmate who was revealed to have come from the future and enrolled in the same high school as Aoba, to protect him from a threat from the future. However, in the year 2088, Hina appeared as Hina Ryazan, a Valiancer pilot serving the Zogilia Republic.
In the year 2014, she was supposedly a student from abroad, who had recently returned to Japan and enrolled into the same high school Aoba enrolled in. However, in 2088, she is the disciple of an important man in the Zogilia military, Lieutenant Commander Viktor Ryazan, who is also her foster, adoptive father. She enrolled in Military Preparatory Academy at age of ten, after graduation she served at Lipetsk Base. She was then affiliated with Alfried Gallant's Valiancer unit, serving as one of the main combatants.
In 2014, Hina is shy, especially when Aoba is around, and it is hinted multiple times that she has feelings for him. She also acts very stiff and formal towards Aoba. However, she shows a lot of determination to protect him from an old acquaintance of hers; she came back in time to save Aoba from the that very person.
In 2088, she initially does not know Aoba and just saw him as an enemy of Zogilia. She was very vehement and aggressive against the Free Pact Alliance, the latter being the main enemy of Zogilia. She very patriotic, and is very nice to the other pilots in her unit, and seems to have very friendly relationships with them. She is extremely annoyed because Aoba's actions landed her in detainment in the Zogilia prison because Special Officer Margaret had suspicions about her loyalty. She is grateful to her Captain Alfried Gallant for letting her out. She voices her anger to Aoba later, as because of him she is still suspected of acts. She is frustrated when he escapes. Yet, she is moved by his efforts to save her. She later calms down, and appears to have given up her grudge to kill him, and even seems to develop feelings for him.
She also entered a serious depression after her father died and revealed her he had found her with no memories in a ruined battlefield and adopted her. She also realized she might be the Hina Aoba knew, which did not help her as she still didn't recall any memories of it and the combination of all the stress built together confused her.
While in the Zogilian Coupling training, she was shown to have an abnormally high Coupling rating, but she refused to be a Coupling pilot. This caused Doctor Hahn to give her an injection that seemed to act as mind control, as her personality changed drastically. She became plain and became obsessed with killing Aoba to avenge her father. This is contrast to her original thoughts after finding out Viktor Ryazan was not actually her father. When she was freed from her brainwashing, she accepted Aoba as her buddy, which resulted in all her memories returning. She also gained memories as what would happen if she were to get trapped into the timeloop in order to save Aoba.
After Coupling with Aoba, she seems to develop more feelings for him and, was even willing to go through another time loop to save him from Bizon Gerafil killing him in the past. However this is changed when Bizon's Valiancer is destroyed, and she does not have to do so to save Aoba, which causes the timeline to change, as she stayed in the current timeline.
Hina is a young girl with long, waist-length black hair and purple eyes and seems to have a average height. She is most seen wearing the Zogilian female uniform, or in her pilot suit, which is black and red. Also, she was seen in Aoba's high school's female uniform, which is blue and white in color, in contrast to her pilot suit. In some magazines promoting Buddy Complex and the smartphone game: Buddy Complex: Coupling in Battlefield, she was seen in a wedding dress. Her pilot suit in the Free Pact Alliance was a pink pilot suit.
She is an elite pilot in both time periods. She pilots the Fortuna Valiancer, and its later successor, the Karura; a Coupling Valiancer. Her skills are recognized by Alfried Gallant, a elite pilot with his own crew.
She is extremely compatible with the Coupling System, her waveform like Aoba is 100%, and was chosen to be a coupler by Doctor Hahn who went as far as drugging and brainwashing her to force her to become a coupler. Coupling with Aoba caused a release of energy similar to a Code T2 Rise, just because they were close to each other. When the Gorgon Nector beam hit this energy, it created a time tunnel that started the series.
In episode 1, she is Aoba's classmate and goes by the name of Hina Yumihara. She saves him from the assassin from the future. Eventually she enters the time vortex with Aoba in order to send him to the future. She seems to understand that she is about to trigger a lot of events and change the fate of the world by doing so. She tells Aoba that "Dio is wating for him".
In episode 3, she attacked the Cygnus and cornered Bradyon, as they wanted to capture him. However the arrival of Luxon stopped her. Aoba was able to damage her unit, enough for Aoba to realize she was Hina and try to reach her. But she did not recognize him and nearly shot him down. She was jailed due to this, Margaret was suspicious of her and had her imprisoned. She was freed by Alfried Gallant. She later appeared in the battle for Chitose base, she immediately set off to fight Luxon, as he was the source of her problems, which she told Aoba outright. She told him she was suspected because of him and was even more irritated by the fact he just defended himself and did not fight back. She was about to take him down when Bradyon fought her off. She tried to follow them but they easily ran away to help the Cygnus escape. She was frustrated after the battle.
In episode 6, she remained frustrated because of Aoba's doing. She was called by Lasha who shows her a deer with its fawn. It lightened her up. She even laughed when Tarjim and Bizon actually wanted to go get a riffle so they could shot the animals down to eat, while it was not the reason Lasha had brought them here, and he protested against it.
In episode 7, she was so obsessed with taking Aoba down that she disobeyed orders to retreat because of the storm the Cygnus was deliberately entering in. It caused both of them to plummet through the clouds at the end of the episode.
In episode 8, her Valiancer fell into the sea, and her cockpit was filling with water. Aoba then saved her by taking her out of the cockpit. She was surprised but it did not stop her from attacking him and tying up his hands, as he was an enemy at the time. She entered Luxon's cockpit but realized it was out of power, so she retrieved the survival bag. Aoba and Hina took cover inside a cave where she held him at gunpoint, while Aoba told her she had already saved his life once. She told him she was not the Hina he knew and that she would hand him to the interrogation services so she can no longer be cleared of all suspicions. She listened to his story about coming from the past, though it was not clear if she believed him or pitied him because he was stranded somewhere without any way to go home. However, the cave entrance was then blocked by a mud slide. She untied Aoba so he could help but she collapsed due to the lack of oxygen. After some desperate hitting on the mudslide by Aoba, the cave flooded, and she nearly drowned but Aoba saved her. Aoba also let her send out a distress signal to her Valiancer team after Dio found his location. Aoba let her go and gave her the pink cat hairpin he had retrieved. Her Valiancer team arrived after the Alliance recovered Luxon.
In episode 9, she lied to Bizon, telling him she found the Luxon and called them through it but had to flee and hide because she was unarmed and that it had left before they came to find her. She also hid the hairpin from him. She was sulking over the whole episode. At the end she was surprised when the reinforcement the Vajra received turned out to be her father, Viktor Ryazan.
In episode 10, she ended up learning and is in the plan to steal the Alliance's Valiancer/s and that she was also in it with Bizon who had suggested wanting to go. She also showed a flash back of her life growing up, and showed that she and Bizon really did known each other during their childhood. Near the end it shows her, Bizon, and her father Viktor Ryazan where they start the operation in stealing the Alliance's Valiancers.
In episode 11, it is revealed Hina was adopted by Viktor when she was young, rescued from a battlefield. When he was fatally wounded while trying to infiltrate the Alliance building to steal Bradyon and Luxon, he told her about her past. Hina only remembered her name when he had found her. It would appear she was the only survivor in the battlefield, yet she might of appeared in the same clothes as when she had disappeared of Aoba's sight in the first episode. She was left wandering into the hallways and she was found by Aoba. They talked a while before Bizon arrived, looking for her. He wanted to shoot Aoba right away but Hina step between them to protect Aoba. Bizon eventually grabbed her and took her aside. The arrival of Dio saved Aoba and Bizon took Hina so they could steal Bradyon and Luxon. They completed this mission, stealing Luxon and Bradyon successfully.
In episode 12, she attended to her father's funeral and talked with Bizon, who was very worried. She told him about Aoba's story about time travelling and the fact Viktor Ryazan was not her real father, and that she was a war orphan with no memories. She noted Aoba knew her while she had no memories of him. Later Wilhelm Hahn told her she was extremely compatible with the Coupling system and gave her an injection. Afterwards, she seemed lifeless but performed well at the tests and was reassigned with Bizon. She showed no emotional reaction even when Bizon hugged her before going to the battlefield.
In episode 13, she was still in her brainwashed state, fighting the alliance until Aoba came. He went as far as decoupling, talking to her and opening his cockpit so she would see him and remember him. She did, but experienced a forced decoupling which caused her to faint. Aoba transported her, she revealed, upon awakening, she had actually refused to be a coupler, causing Elvira to tell Hahn would use any means to attain his goals. Bizon took her back and tried to couple with her which was painful to her as she rejected the coupling, but Hahn's Coupling Valiancers did not required consent from the couplers and she was about to be forced into coupling. Aoba proposed to couple and she accepted. Their coupling and the simple fact the Valiancers came close to each other created a green shield, which appeared to have the same properties as the Code T2 Rise because it stopped the Gorgon's second shot but it also created the time tunnel. Because Bizon's Valiancer was swept into the time tunnel, Hina knew she had to go after him to save Aoba. In the previous timeline, Dio had stopped Aoba from following her. But in the current timeline, Dio helped Aoba stop her and destroyed Bizon's Valiancer so he may never become an issue for Aoba in the past. They all exited the time tunnel and went back to the Cygnus. She listened to Dio and Aoba's bickering and agreed with Aoba's words about the fact no one knew how the future would be.
It was later revealed in the original timeline, she and Aoba had met during college and married; she and Aoba worked on the first Coupling project for the Alliance. This is also why Hina and Aoba seem to possess such amazing Coupling compatibility. In the first experiment, she went inside the Coupling cockpit, and was sent to the future into the Luxon cockpit, and went through everything Aoba went through; during a fight with Bizon (on the Free Pact Alliance's side), she went through a time tunnel and ended up in the past. There she attended the high school Aoba had attended. Bizon arrived shortly after in his Nebiros. Attacking the school, Hina saved him from debris with her Luxon. After entering the time tunnel (this time with the Luxon and Nebiros instead of the Karura and Nergal), she was sent into the time loop. However, at some point she was returned to the Coupling cockpit in the original timeline, where Aoba was waiting.
In the current timeline, she and Aoba returned to their respective time periods, as the energy emitted by the destruction the Zogilia satellite had opened a time tunnel. It is presumed she returned to the Coupling cockpit in her own time period.
Time Loop
Hina is part of a time loophole, as she saved Aoba in 2014, and then sent him in 2088 before disappearing. She reappeared about 10 years prior to Aoba's arrival in the future, with the school uniform she had in 2014, and she was de-aged and had no memories other than her name; Hina. In 2088, she seemed to understand what was going to happen but willingly accepted to repeat the time loop to save Aoba from Bizon. This time loop was broken after Aoba stopped her; this in turn caused the time loop to break, and Hina was returned to the Coupling cockpit in the original timeline.
Aoba Watase - In 2014, Hina seems to love him, at least she is very flustered by his presence. She actually searched for him in order to protect him from the assassin she knew would come to kill him. She also understood where Aoba would appear in the future and that she would not be with him. She encouraged him and told him "Dio is waiting for you". In 2088, she does not know him and hates him because he is an enemy of Zogillia. Her hatred grows because his actions made her suspected of treason by Margaret. She is annoyed when he would not fight back, claiming Aoba was mocking her. His actions also appear to confuse her. She is really surprised when he saves her several times in episode 8. She warms up to him in this episode. She also tells him she is not the one he is looking for, though it does not stop him from being friendly toward her. She appears to be moved by his efforts to save her and eventually gives up her grudge against him. She gave up all her hatred toward him. Later in episode 11 after finding out she was adopted by Viktor, she was able to sit down and talk to Aoba in the middle of a battle. She realized she might be the Hina he knew since she lost her memories. She even took to his defense when Bizon wanted to shoot him. She is less willing to attack him and does not seem to consider him as a threat anymore. She believes him about his story about time travelling. Upon remembering him and her lost memories she was still ready to live another loop if it meant she could save him from Bizon. She told him he had always trusted her so she trusted him.
Alfried Gallant's Valiancer unit
Alfried Gallant - He is the unit leader and appears benevolent as he had her out of her imprisonment. He is not suspicious of her. He praises her for her combat skills.
Bizon Gerafil - He acts like a big brother towards her. He was very worried about her. He is angry because she is still under suspicion by Margaret. While they are childhood friends, she lied to him about how she had managed to send out a distress signal in episode 8, probably because it would have caused more trouble for her and she might have been considered even more as a traitor. While he seems to love her, she has no romantic feelings for him.
Lasha Hakkarainen - He called her when he saw a deer and its fawn, hoping to lighten her up, which succeeded.
Viktor Ryazan - Her Father in 2088. She appeared to be close to him. He was her adoptive father, and he found her in a ruined battlefield and this revelation made her wonder who she was. She is devastated when he chooses to stay behind after receiving a serious gunshot wound.
Dio Junyou Weinberg - the pilot of the red Coupling Valiancer, the Bradyon, he was an enemy for her and she was charged to capture him at first sight. They never really met face to face but they were enemies. When her view about Aoba changed she just changed her view about who was the enemy. Dio helps saving her and does not mind her presence.
Official Artwork
- In the past (2014), Hina's name was shown to be writen with the Kanji letter 雛, however after the time travel (2088), Hina's name was written ヒナ; the Katakana way.

My book "see my book" and this blog are all about finding and expressing your authentic self. Well…..we may be, at this very moment, reaping that whirlwind. I suspect, never before, in so short a time, has a culture had to sustain so many and various challenges to the status quo than America in the recent decade. Who and what makes a person their own true self has never taken on so many variations than at this very moment in America.
Much of this change has been lying dormant or quiet in the background. But once the barriers, the enclosures, seemed vulnerable, the great varieties of "self" suddenly began to make themselves known. And the announcements were not subtle. The onslaught of emerging "authenticities" and "true selves" is a tsunami. The heaving waves have been washing over us for several years now. Here are a few of the many moving parts of the new Kraken!: (forgive me ahead of time if I inadvertently step on any toes. Not trying to find fault or lay blame. Just describing and listing events.)
The loss of many pillars of American self-image…hard work, sacrifice, self-sufficiency, loyalty, pride. Silent, furtive illegal immigration had been going on for decades. But suddenly with a new progressive President and congress, who were more sympathetic to their human plight, they began to come out of the shadows. Those already here had the courage to stand out. "Dreamers" stood up. We witness the baffling spectacle of "illegals", law-breakers, who formerly feared discovery and deportation now publicly demonstrating in the streets in the face of police who now, instead of arresting and deporting them, merely guard their flanks to maintain a "peaceful demonstration". The audacious, in your face, blatancy staggered any simple sense of law-abidance.
Homosexuals, both male and female, came rushing out of the closets that so long held them. Again, for decades, not unlike the illegal immigrants, they honored a low profile, segregated existence in the shadows of cities and propriety. But now a new courage overtook them and they, too, demonstrated forcefully in public for their authenticity. From that, in quick succession, came the further assault on the proprieties of marriage and civil rights.
Once gay rights became an open discussion, it was not long before bi-sexual and transgender people followed. The LGBT coalition was formed and soon became a powerful political and economic strata. Lesbians, gays, transgenders, transvestites, cross dressers, were suddenly everywhere, in the public vistas and in every form of media.
The disabled for centuries also lingered in the shadows of the population. Their disabilities, missing limbs, afflictions embarrassed them and the public. They stayed distant. But that, too, in short order, changed. From the massive Disabilities Act, to the returning veterans now with wounds evident that once would have proven fatal, another class of shadow people were ready to take their rightful place as authentic citizens.
And Race, in spite of nice progress since the sixties, reared its uglier aspects again, seeking respect and justice.
Women's rights has been a long and climbing issue. But again, in this new climate of open protest, it takes its place more forcefully among these other issues that stretch the comfortable fabric of society and push it to newer heights. The search for authenticity among women has never been stronger. (A small example of imagery, not theory: the plus-size model…the greying model…emerging "authenticities" more prevalent today than not long ago)
Eccentricities that were once kept at bay by public approbation, now are deemed authentic forms of self-expression. Strange haircuts and styles; red/blue/orange/pink hair; tattoos, few at first, but quickly to become "sleeves" and full bodied; piercings of various kinds and areas; clothing of the most outlandish; nudity or near nudity visible at any given moment; the full use of all forbidden language, including the F word, in public, in film, television; the open discussion of all things sexual, aided by the ubiquitous ads, at all times of day, for getting an erection when you can't (four year olds asking from the back seat "what's a four hour erection?"; men embracing and kissing on the mouth on evening newscasts, women doing the same; gay men having so much "fun" being gay on the evening comedic tv sit-com; sexual techniques and devices openly discussed, mostly in the form of jokes in the nightly sit-coms; drug use and gun violence portrayed constantly on the nightly tv shows and movies; full blown, uncensored, real people pornography available with the push of a few keys on your computer; ………ALL TABOOS TESTED!……………..THE KRAKEN HAS BEEN RELEASED!
Released, not in small doses over decades, each piece slowly digested, but in a flood, a tsunami. Should we not be rejoicing? Yes, but the average public, which is a majority, reels. It is a constant and pitiless assault. But this is the point here…Can the normal channels of tolerance absorb and digest so much as quickly as the disenfranchised would like? There is both push-back and MORAL FATIGUE.
All of the above remediations are legitimate. And the plaintiffs are rightfully impatient. But some perspective must be admitted by the "inauthenticated". They must learn their own tolerances. I believe, in time, the public majority will accept without legal or personal complaint all of the issues listed above. But the recipients must see the almost impossible task of the inertial public to digest and process so much so quickly. Patience is in some order. Patience can quickly deteriorate into renewed neglect. But proper orchestration is possible. Kindness and respect on all sides must and will ultimately prevail, but it must be given more time, a slower pace, and some empathy all around.
The established moral bedrock of any society changes slowly. Re-read THE SCARLET LETTER to refresh your perspective on the early foundations of this country's moral stance. Such repression had to change. It has. Not always for the better. Some modulation is in order. (we could live without the Cialis ads)
Gays gyrating nearly nude on a Gay Pride Parade float are no longer advancing their cause. Blacks rioting and looting are not advancing their cause. The country now understands the faults of the past. Justice is working toward corrections. All grieving parties need patience and civility. Many solutions are already here, more are coming. The moral digestive tract on all this is narrow and slow. Some goodwill and cooperation will go a long way towards honest digestion. Constant compassion is hard.
The tattooed, LGBT, Black, illegal alien, wounded, pink haired, foul-mouthed, nearly naked Kraken with a full erection will slowly slip peacefully back into the sea, and the assimilating rainbow will soar over the land. Be civil. Be patient. All good and true authentic souls will be honored and fulfilled! Authenticity, in all its forms, has become visible. In fair time, in all its forms, it will become accepted.

In the blog I wrote last month, I pointed out some interesting and common English expressions that are formed using the preposition over as a key component. This time, I'd like to do the same in the case of expressions that feature the preposition that bears the opposite meaning: under. The number of examples to be found with regard to the latter are indeed just as plentiful.
There are certainly ways in which we can define the types of semantic features that expressions that use the word under share, despite the fact that they are so diverse in nature. Attached to the word under, there is of course the obvious connotation of a low physical positioning, something which can be adapted in a metaphorical sense to create new meaning. For instance, if you heard the common expression "water under a bridge," the physical reference to water in relation to the bridge would be immediately obvious, even though - prior to it being explained to you - you may not understand the metaphorical significance of the phrase. What it actually implies is a sense of a past event no longer being relevant to the present and therefore not being worthy of further mention or discussion. It is often used in a context of forgetting certain mistakes made in the past and also forgiving those who committed them.
A less obvious reference to the physical concept of one object, element or body being positioned below another crops up in the expression "to slip under the radar," which means to go unnoticed. It may not come as a surprise, however, that the phrase comes from the period in which the Second World War took place. The concept of radar, as a technological tool for tracking enemy planes, was invented by the British shortly before the outbreak of war, and was a considerable asset to their war effort. Undoubtedly, with the quantity of German planes that were headed for Britain's shores on bombing raids, not all of them could be monitored at the one time and shot down from the skies. The planes could just as feasibly have flown at an altitude that was above that of the positioning of British radar systems at a given moment in time (thereby escaping detection), as opposed to below. However, for one reason or another, the expression came to be coined as "slip under the radar" and remains as such up to the present day.
The use of the preposition under in idiomatic fashion can also relate to the concept of lowliness in the context of perceived inferiority or feebleness. If an individual is not expected to do well in a competition, due to either a lack of skills or experience vis-à-vis their rival competitors, they may be described as "the underdog." This contrasts with a similar sounding pair of words that have the opposite meaning: top dog. This refers to an individual whose skill set is regarded as being superior to that of the rest and who is expected to win a particular contest.
On the other hand, if someone is not feeling their best (possibly due to suffering from a cold or flu) they may describe themselves as being "under the weather." For me, this conjures up the image of someone standing under a raincloud and getting drenched!
Did you find this blog helpful for understanding the link between the word under and specific concepts? Next month, I will move on to talk about phrases and idioms that make reference to human body parts (ears, eyes, nose, etc.). Like the other types of references we have seen, they are very diverse and interesting.

I remember this plant very well when I was in my primary school days in the 80's.It used to be a flower we know that secretes milky white color substance when pierced or cut.
Read the article below for more details.
This plant is very common at our homes, gardens, parks
and offices (popular as indoor & outdoor plant). The plant
(Dumb Cane or Dieffenbachia) is now proven to be dangerous, so, please take care.
The leaf of this plant causes itching if its sap (milk) touches your skin. But there are more dangerous facts! Read the details below:
Someone almost lost her daughter who mistakenly put a piece of the leaf of this plant in her mouth and her tongue swelled to the point of suffocation.
The name of the plant is Dumb Cane or Dieffenbachia.
This plant is common in most African Countries. It is a deadly poison, most specially for the children. It can kill a kid in less than a
minute and an adult in 15 minutes. It should be uprooted from gardens and taken out of offices. If touched, one should never touch his/her eyes; it can cause partial or permanent blindness. Please alert your friends.

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
MARYLAND — It took more than a few corporate heads to convince Marvin Wamble to join the game. It was something everyone in his office was doing Friday afternoons, but still it wasn't enough to persuade him that he, too, should join the game of golf.
Known as an All-America athlete, he writes in his book, "From Tee to Green, Seeing God … In the Middle of the Fairway," golfing was something that athletes didn't participate in. Matter of fact, he was known for his track and field and basketball and football skills, but golfing was something better left to those who couldn't play in "real" sports.
Wamble's begins his book with the story of picking out his first set of clubs from a Sears warehouse. He talks about, and even takes a few shots at himself, that day when he expected to buy a set of clubs for less than $50.
He said the cashier noticed his mixed set of clubs with different brands and suggested he at least try to buy a set that was the same.
Of the experience, he wrote:
"Are you sure this is what you want?" [the cashier] said.
"Yes, these are the exact clubs I want," I answered emphatically. "Do you have a problem with me buying these clubs?"
"Sir, if you want to buy clubs from three different manufacturers to make up a set that's fine with me, but you should at least try to get all your irons from the same company."
I smiled, swallowed what was left of my pride and took the clubs back to the sporting goods area …
That was his first insight into golfing.
Recently inducted as a pastor at Shiloh Community United Methodist Church in Newburg, Wamble said, "I started writing [the book] two years ago, in the context of being a Christian. I started to see a correlation between golfing and being a Christian. Golf is so difficult, and so is being a Christian, but both have great rewards."
He said while on the course he has the opportunity to meditate while conversations begin with God.
"It's a great time to relax and meditate while focusing on getting this little white ball in the cup," he said. "And as I began playing I began to jot things down as I played. I've always been a storyteller."
Wamble said he has 25 years under his belt as a sports journalist with papers such as The San Jose Mercury News and the Dallas Times Herald.
But this is his first published book.
"The stories I felt were universal. The stories are really funny. I don't mind laughing at myself," he said. "With the golf course you're basically going through a journey. In each hole, you're trying to overcome obstacles, you're trying to be creative, and there are choices you have to make."
While Wamble repeatedly said he is not a "great" golfer and the book does not offer an instructional manual for the game, he said it does provide spiritual insights and the basics of the game. "I've been playing golf for 13 or 14 years. … I'm not all that good, but anyone who is really good is getting paid for it. I'm not trying to give anyone instructions. Every time you go out to the course, you strive to be better. As a Christian you have the potential to be great," he said.
For those who aren't familiar with golf or any sports, Wamble said the book is an easy read for anyone of any sports level or any spiritual outlook.
"It'll make them laugh and make them think. It talks about a journey of life. It's about ups and downs and thinking about the mistakes you made. … It's sort of set up like a devotional with biblical passages," he said. "It's just to have someone read it and enrich or begin a relationship with Christ. God's in your life, even on the golf course.
"Some people play a terrible round and they are ready to throw their clubs in the water, until they get that great shot. It only takes one good shot or one good thing to keep us going."
Wamble said he is working on a second book, "Tracking God" — a correlation between God and track and field.

I would call this a "must have" for any Rebetiko fan. It comes with a 24 page booklet, containing an introduction, photographs, a glossary of slang terms, and for each song you get full details of the performers, the instruments they played, where and when it was recorded, and the lyrics in Greek and English. It even has biographical notes about the performers. It would be wonderful if all record companies went to this much effort.
This CD contains one of my favourite tracks, by A Kostis, called Stin Ipoga, "In the Basement". This track is actually played on guitars. One of the guitarists was leader for several years of the Aspra Poulia (White Birds) Hawaian Orchestra. Many of the songs on this CD are about hashish smoking, prisons and crime.

First owner of the painting was Otto Claass from Königsberg (today Kaliningrad). After 1911 the composition was in possesion of the Galerie Carl Nicolai in Berlin. In April 1917 the painting was showned at the opening exhibition of Galerie Möller in Breslau. Probably than it was than purchased by Carl Sachs. Couple of months later (in 1917 during the "Ausstellung Deutscher Malerei" in Basel and Zürich) he is listed as it's owner.
Sachs owned the painting more than two decades - until 1939 when it was confiscated by the by the German authorities. In 1945 the painting was a part of a private collection in West Germany, afterwards it appeared on the market (at the Kunsthaus Lempertz in Cologne and at the Galerie Gebhardt in Munich). In June 1984 the painting re-emerged in London, where it was put on at aucion at Sotheby's by a private owner and in 2002 once more at Lempertz in Cologne, where it was purchased to Würth collection. The Museum and the descendents of Carl Sachs had come to understanding, on the ground of the Washington convention.

Throughout his presidential campaign, Trump promised to reform immigration and protect the United States from potential immigration-related terrorist threats — and in just two weeks, he has done just that.
Liberals are outraged with Trump's temporary pause in travel and are spreading misconceptions about the order.
Here are the facts you need to know regarding Trump's most recent executive order involving immigration control:
1) The travel pause is NOT due to religious reasons.
Many liberals vocally attacked Trump's plan, by accusing Trump's plan of targeting Muslim- majority countries. The fact of the matter is the countries that were included in Trump's immigration order were the countries from which the most terrorist activity has occurred lately.
The Conservative Tribune reported:
"Far from being a ban on all Muslims or Muslim countries, Trump's order suspended visa entries into America for 90 days for individuals from six failed or marginal states (Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen) and one of our nation's chief enemies, Iran. These nations are all known to grow, harbor and support terrorists."
2) Religiously persecuted refugees actually take first priority when the order is reconsidered.
Liberals are outraged at the plan, claiming Trump is discriminating against religious groups when, in fact, it actually puts persecuted individuals at the top of the priority list.
The Conservative Tribune reported:
"The order states that those individuals seeking asylum in the U.S. who are members of a minority religious group in their home country, and have faced persecution because of their religion, should be given priority status over others who aren't a religious minority. While this, of course, would seem to favor Christians and Jews fleeing persecution in the Middle East and North Africa, it could also be applied to certain Islamic sects and other minority religious groups not necessarily derived from the three major monotheistic religions."
3) Refugees from the United States will NOT automatically be deported.
In the first few hours of the order, progressives jumped at the chance to turn the order into something it was not- those who are legally in the United States with green cards and visas will remain.
Those individuals that originate from the countries that fell under the ban will have their visas and green cards reviewed, but that does not mean they will be automatically deported unless there is a safety concern.
4) Trump set in place a refugee program cap.
Though it is significantly lower than the one the Obama Administration had planned, President Trump's Order planned to include a refugee cap at 50,000 individuals.
5) The pause in travel will only be in place for four months, though Syrian refugees (who have been proven to have dangerous ties to extremist groups) may be indefinitely blocked from entry.
One of the biggest misconceptions of the order is that it is a permanent one when, in fact, the order is a temporary one of only four months.
The Conservative Tribune reported:
"The order suspended for four months the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program in order for the application and adjudication processes to be reviewed and revamped. Meanwhile, Syrian refugees as a whole have been labeled as "detrimental" to the interests of the U.S. at the moment, thus their entry into the U.S. has been placed on hold until such time as the designation is changed, likely dependent upon the situation on the ground in the war-torn nation."
Contrary to what the liberal media has proposed, there have been several terrorist attacks on American soil as a direct result of Syrian refugees.
The Conservative Tribune reported:
"Despite claims to the contrary from the media, there have been terrorist attacks committed in America by refugees, most notably the Boston Marathon bombing, but also a number of small attacks by Somali refugees in places like Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Ohio University."
6) Trump is making this plan so as to prevent another attack like 9/11.
The immigration order is first and foremost being put into place to re-evaluate the system, in order to better protect the American people from foreign threats.
The Chicago Tribune reported:
Trump's executive order cites the immigration and intelligence failures before Sept. 11, 2001, as well as smaller attacks on the homeland in the following years, as a major reason for reviewing and revamping the rules regarding who is and isn't permitted entry or allowed to stay in the country.
What are your thoughts on Trump's immigration control order?
Do you believe the system needed to be re-evaluated and reconstructed?

8:2 that in myche asaiyng of tribulacioun, the plente of the ioye of hem was, and the hiyeste pouert of hem was plenteuouse `in to the richessis of the symplenesse of hem.
8:3 For Y bere witnessyng to hem, aftir miyt and aboue miyt thei weren wilful,
8:4 with myche monestyng bisechynge vs the grace and the comynyng of mynystring, that is maad to hooli men.
8:5 And not as we hopiden, but thei yauen hem silf first to the Lord, aftirward to vs bi the wille of God.
8:6 So that we preyeden Tite, that as he bigan, so also he performe in you this grace.
8:7 But as ye abounden in alle thingis, in feith, and word, and kunnyng, and al bisynesse, more ouer and in youre charite in to vs, that and in this grace ye abounden.
8:8 Y seie not as comaundinge, but bi the bisynesse of othere men appreuynge also the good wit of youre charite.
8:9 And ye witen the grace of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, for he was maad nedi for you, whanne he was riche, that ye schulden be maad riche bi his nedynesse.
8:10 And Y yyue counsel in this thing; for this is profitable to you, that not oneli han bigunne to do, but also ye bigunnen to haue wille fro the formere yere.
8:11 But now parfourme ye in deed, that as the discrecioun of wille is redi, so be it also of parformyng of that that ye han.
8:12 For if the wille be redi, it is acceptid aftir that that it hath, not aftir that that it hath not.
8:13 And not that it be remyssioun to othere men, and to you tribulacioun;
8:14 but of euenesse in the present tyme youre aboundance fulfille the myseese of hem, that also the aboundaunce of hem be a fulfillynge of youre myseise, that euenesse be maad; as it is writun,
8:15 He that gaderide myche, was not encresid, and he that gaderide litil, hadde not lesse.
8:16 And Y do thankyngis to God, that yaf the same bisynesse for you in the herte of Tite,
8:17 for he resseyuede exortacioun; but whanne he was bisier, bi his wille he wente forth to you.
8:18 And we senten with hym a brother, whose preisyng is in the gospel bi alle chirchis.
8:19 And not oneli, but also he is ordeyned of chirchis the felowe of oure pilgrimage in to this grace, that is mynystrid of vs to the glorie of the Lord, and to oure ordeyned wille;
8:20 eschewynge this thing, that no man blame vs in this plente, that is mynystrid of vs to the glorye of the Lord.
8:21 For we purueyen good thingis, not onely bifor God, but also bifor alle men.
8:22 For we senten with hem also oure brothir, whom we han preued in many thingis ofte, that he was bisi, but nowe myche bisier, for myche trist in you,
8:23 ethir for Tite, that is my felowe and helpere in you, ethir for oure britheren, apostlis of the chirches of the glorie of Crist.
8:24 Therfor schewe ye in to hem in the face of chirchis, that schewynge that is of youre charite and of oure glorie for you.

She stands in line and tries not to think, but a flurry of recent events comes at her hard, pelting her mind and heart like hail in a tornado.
Her husband can't find work. The 13-year-old needs new clothes for school. The 10-year-old had an unexpected case of summer strep, and they just received the doctor's bill to prove it. She's not even sure the family car will get her home.
Her stomach rumbles just as she reaches the front of the line, and she coughs politely to cover up the embarrassing sound. A volunteer with a wide smile and gentle hands fills a bag with enough food to get her family through this hungry time.
She accepts the bag, nods her head, and pushes a whisper of gratitude between her lips. Tonight, at least, her family will eat. It's a meal 60 years in the making.
From Humble Beginnings...
Mim Hunt was born in the Lexington area. She got married and moved to New York with her husband. While there, working in the tenement homes, she saw poverty for the first time.
After she lost her husband, Hunt moved back home to the Bluegrass, yet she saw the place with an entirely different set of eyes. A little older and a lot wiser, she brought her compassionate vision back into focus in Lexington. What she saw was poverty at the same level that existed in the New York tenements.
Men, women and children were hungry. So in 1955, Hunt started collecting food and distributing it to those in need from the back of her station wagon. She used her own basement pantry shelves to store what she collected from donations, and then went wherever people were hungry.
When a friend once called the area Mim's Pantry, Hunt was quick to correct. "When the shelves are bare, it is God who fills the pantry," Hunt said. "This is God's pantry."
Hunt's mission from those humble beginnings spread throughout Fayette County, resulting in God's Pantry—now in its 60th year—being designated as a food bank that has helped feed multitudes across the Bluegrass.
...To the Hungry in Kentucky
God's Pantry Food Bank (GPFB) runs a 49,500-square-foot main distribution warehouse on Jaggie Fox Way in Lexington and supports several direct-service programs with the food it receives. Some of those programs include Kid's Café, the Back Pack Program, Summer Feeding and the Senior Grocery Program.
In addition, GPFB supplies four individual pantries in Fayette County that feed at least 20,000 people annually. Food collections are taken in many ways to supply those four pantries. Collection barrels are positioned at area grocery stores, some organizations hold food drives, and generous individuals can simply donate food in any quantity directly to the GPFB headquarters.
But the food bank extends much farther than the confines of Fayette County boundaries. For about the first 30 years, God's Pantry was designated as just that—a pantry. In order to help more hungry people across more of the Bluegrass, GPFB became a member of Feeding America in the 1980s. Feeding America is a Chicago-based charity that has 200 member food banks across the United States. It works to maintain best practices for its members, concentrates on food safety, and gives each member food bank, like GPFB, local autonomy.
Feeding America reaches out to large corporations for monetary donations, usually distributed to members in the form of grants, as well as food donations. It takes on the role of a food clearinghouse.
The concept of moving food from the producers to the hungry is actually quite simple. If Kellogg's brand has 12 tractor trailers of cereal it needs to donate, it contacts Feeding America, which then makes that announcement to the member food banks. Member food banks check their inventories, make requests of Feeding America for a portion of that shipment, and then the food banks pay for the shipping to their main warehouses. Once a food bank warehouse receives a shipment, it is logged in the system and made available to food pantries that are supplied by each food bank.
GPFB in Lexington operates as the primary warehouse, with a secondary warehouse in Clark County, and there are three regional distribution centers—one each in London, Prestonsburg and, the most recent to open, in Morehead.
Thanks to an automated system, a soup kitchen in Pike County can go to the GPFB website, see what the warehouse has stocked in real time, and place an order based on what it most needs. Order pickers in the Lexington warehouse pull those orders, wrap them and put them on trucks to be shipped to the regional distribution center in Prestonsburg, where a member of the Pike County soup kitchen will drive just over the county line to pick up the items.
Just as GPFB operates autonomously, individual pantries in the 50-county area also operate under their own authority. Usually, those who receive the food should reside in the county where they are receiving the food and should meet a certain income level. There is no requirement for those who are fed to "pay or pray" for the food they receive.
Even though GPFB distributes 26.8 million pounds of food annually and serves 1.6 million people in a 50-county region, there are still food-insecure folks who wake up hungry and go to bed hungry. Food insecurity is defined as not having enough food on a reliable basis to feed every member of a household a steady, healthy diet.
Hundreds of thousands of Kentuckians remain food insecure, but that doesn't stop GPFB, or the individual food pantries, soup kitchens, senior shelters and summer camps they supply. Giving food to those who need it is the whole point of the mission: "To reduce hunger in Kentucky through community cooperation making the best possible use of all available resources."
It's a mission that Marian Guinn, God's Pantry Food Bank CEO, takes seriously. Guinn was hired in 1997 to direct the operation. Over the years, she has seen referrals from social workers, family resource centers and other professionals who work closely with families facing daily struggles.
"Of the nearly 200,000 individuals served by GPFB annually, over half are children or senior citizens. Even so, 31 percent of households served have at least one person employed," Guinn says. "Many of the people served are working but earn very low wages, making it difficult for them to meet all household expenses."
In a perfect world, all mouths would be fed, all stomachs would be filled. Until then, GPFB will keep moving food in the direction of those who are hungry.
"God's Pantry Food Bank has a rich history of service in Lexington and throughout central and eastern Kentucky," Guinn says. "I know that our work makes a tremendous difference to literally hundreds of thousands of Kentuckians, and that fact makes it an exciting place to work."

July 14, Bastille Day. Vive la France.
I decided to lay out the cash and ordered Versus from the cable company so I could watch the Tour de france. I especially hoped that by some miraculous twist of fate, a Frenchman could actually win on Hautacam on Bastille day. I think the earth has a better chance of being struck by a meteor today, but I can still dream.
After watching a short Italian deservedly win the stage I can safely say that it doesn't matter what channel/company is showing the Tour in the US. If it has American announcers, it will assuredly suck. And tonight was no exception. The final 30 minutes were the only worthwhile coverage out of the entire 3 hours. I know, I know. There are TV starved cyclists in eastern Montana that would give up their Sidi's to be able to watch the Tour. But still, would it kill them to cut 90% of the human interest stories and show a little more racing? Please?
And to keep to the general whining of this post, let Liggett and Sherwen do all the announcing. Please...please....puuullllllleeeeease.
Kudos to Cadel Evans for the Yellow Jersey. Well deserved.
I apologize for the rant, but since it is Bastille Day, I believe I have the right to lose my head.

Series: Living Life To The Fullest
Distinguishing between wants and needs isn't easy for children. And sometimes not even for adults.
When I was young, many of my perceived needs were actually wants. Just any bike wouldn't do. I needed a Schwinn that sported a banana seat and high handlebars. Nor would any pair of shoes suffice. They had to be high-top Converse tennis shoes. And when it came to blue jeans, nothing but a Levi tag was good enough. Later in life-when I began footing my own bills, I discovered generic brands wore just as well and off brand bikes rode just as smoothly.
Paul discovered how to live with everything and with almost nothing. His stomach had been full and empty. He had been at the summit of the religious establishment and manacled to a guard in a Roman jail. But through his various circumstances, he learned the art of contentment regardless of the conditions and how to trust God for every need. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).
Living life to the fullest initially entails learning to distinguish needs from wants. God obligates himself to meet the first but not the second. Wealth isn't a sign of God's blessings anymore than poverty is of his curse. Once we've accomplished this often confusing task, trusting God to supply the necessities-and thanking him when he throws in a few wants along the way, follows. Regardless of how many material goods we have or don't have, we'll always possess enough to sustain life and energetically accomplish what God assigns us. Worrying about needs only steals our life's joy. Give your needs to God and leave the details to him.
Prayer: Thank You merciful heavenly Father for promising to supply our every need.

HELENA, Mont. — The Latest on rebuilding the Sperry Chalet in Glacier National Park (all times local):
1:50 p.m.
National Park Service officials say they bypassed the open bidding process when they awarded a $4 million contract to a Montana construction company to begin rebuilding Glacier National Park's Sperry Chalet.
Spokeswoman Sally Mayberry said Tuesday the park service needed to use an expedited contracting method in order to meet project deadlines.
A park service document dated May 8 that justified the contract being awarded outside of a full and open competition says the work must begin in July to permanently stabilize the burned chalet's stone walls by fall.
The park service decided to limit the bidding competition to four Montana companies, all large companies, that it identified through research.
Mayberry said two of the companies submitted bids. The winning bid came from Helena-based Dick Anderson Construction.
12:15 p.m.
The National Park Service has awarded a $4 million construction contract to a Montana company to begin rebuilding a Glacier National Park backcountry chalet that burned in a wildfire last year.
Helena-based Dick Anderson Construction is expected to begin work on the Sperry Chalet dormitory this summer.
The contract is only for the first phase of the rebuild, which is expected to last two years.
Sally Mayberry, a spokeswoman for the park service's Denver Service Center, said Tuesday the project's total cost is expected to range between $8 million and $12 million.
The park service has set aside $12 million for construction, and insurance is expected to kick in $1.2 million next year. The Glacier National Park Conservancy also raised $200,000 for emergency stabilization of the stone walls.

12 Days Safari and Kilimanjaro Trekking Machame Route
12 Days Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Natron and Kilimanjaro trekking Machame Route
Day 1: Arusha Lake Manyara
After breakfast from Arusha, you will proceed to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day game drive with picnic lunches. Later you will proceed to Lake Manyara Sun bright for dinner and overnight stay. Stretching for 50km along the base of the rusty-gold 600-metre high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem with a setting extolled by Ernest Hemingway as "the loveliest I had seen in Africa". The compact game-viewing circuit through Manyara offers a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience. From the entrance gate, the road winds through an expanse of lush jungle-like groundwater forest where hundreds of baboon troops lounge nonchalantly along the roadside, blue monkeys scamper nimbly between the ancient mahogany trees, dainty bush buck tread warily through the shadows, and out sized forest horn bills honk cacophonously in the high canopy.
Dinner & overnight at Fanaka campsite
Day 2: Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, proceed to Serengeti National Park for a game drive with picnic lunches and dinner and overnight will be at Seronera campsite. A million wildebeest, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 mile) long columns plunge through crocodile infested waters on the annual exodus north; replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins again.
Day 3: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro crater
You will have early morning game drives in Serengeti National Park and return back for breakfast and relaxation. Later again you will proceed for a full day game drive with picnic lunches, dinner, Later drive you to Ngongoro crater and overnight at Simba Campsite at the tour There is more to Serengeti than large mammals. Gaudy agama lizards and rock hyraxes scuffle around the surfaces of the park's isolated granite koppies. A full 100 varieties of dung beetle have been recorded, as have 500plus bird species, ranging from the oversized ostrich and bizarre secretary bird of the open grassland, to the black eagles that soar effortlessly above.
Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater to Tarangire
After an early breakfast, proceed for a full day crater tour with picnic lunches at Ngorongoro Crater. Later you will proceed to Tarangire. Dinner and overnight are at Tarangire campsite. In Tarangire you will found day after day of cloudless skies. The fierce sun sucks the moisture from the landscape, baking the earth a dusty red, the withered grass as brittle as straw. The Tarangire River has shrivelled to a shadow of its wet season self. But it is choked with wildlife. Thirsty nomads have wandered hundreds of parched kilometers knowing that here, always, there is water. More ardent bird-lovers might keep an eye open for screeching flocks of the dazzlingly colourful yellow collored lovebird, and the somewhat drabber rufous tailed weaver and ashy starling all endemic to the dry savanna of north central Tanzania.
Day 5: Tarangire National Park to Lake Natron
After early breakfast, proceed for a full day game drive at Tarangire National Park with picnic lunches; later continue back to Lake Natron for dinner and overnight
Lake Natron is home to some extraordinary landscapes as well as many different types of wildlife. Most known for the presence of flamingos and spectacular sunsets, Lake Natron is truly a unique place to see. It is common to see zebra, giraffes, ostriches, baboons, gazelles, gnu, donkeys, and many other animals. We offer guided treks around Lake Natron the most popular are a half day trek (4-5 hours), or a full day trek that includes a picnic and a rest in a natural swimming pool on the eastern side of Lake Natron. We also offer an overnight trek that allows guests to stay in a tent near the lake.
Day 6: Lake Natron to Arusha
Lake Natron is stunning Lake and the nearby active volcano OlDoinyoLengai are located in Northern Tanzania near the Kenyan border, just north of the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area. Lake Natron and OlDonyoLengai occupy a surreal landscape, overshadowed by the Rift Valley Escarpment.
Early in the morning you will game drive, walking, having chance to see all cultural activities, late in the evening back to arusha
Lake Natron is a soda lake with a large resident population of flamingos. It is also an excellent area to visit authentic Maasai communities, experiencing first hand the Masai culture.
Stunning Lake Natron, and the nearby active volcano OlDoinyoLengai are located in Northern Tanzania near the Kenyan border, just north of the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area. Lake Natron and OlDoinyoLengai occupy a surreal landscape, overshadowed by the Rift Valley Escarpment.
Day 7 : Drive to Kilimanjaro National Park Machame Gate, Hike to Machame Camp
If Marangu is the "Coca Cola" route, then the Machame Route is the "Whiskey" route. It is the second most popular and one of the most scenic routes on the mountain.
All climbers sleep in tents (tents are included) and meals are served in a dinner tent or on a blanket outside. It is done over 6 days, so acclimatization is easier, and the success rate is fairly high. It is for physically fit people with some hiking experience.
Descent is down the Mweka trail staying at the Mweka or Millenium camp the final night on the mountain. Drive from Moshi to the Mount Kilimanjaro National Park Gate takes about 45 minutes. The journey passes through the village of Machame which is located on the lower slopes of the mountain.
We depart the park gate and walk through the rain forest on a winding trail up a ridge. At lower elevations the trail can be muddy and slippery. Gaiters and trekking poles are a good idea here. We continue a short distance until we reach the Machame Camp for dinner and overnight
Elevation: 1830m/6000ft to 3050m/9950ft
Distance: 11km/7mi
Hiking Time: 5-6 hours
Habitat: Montane Forest
Day 8 : Hike Machame Camp to Shira Camp
After breakfast we leave the glades of the rain forest and continue on an ascending path, crossing the valley along a steep rocky ridge. The route now turns west onto a river gorge until we arrive at the Shira campsite for dinner and overnight
Elevation: 3050m/9950ft to 3850m/12,600ft
Distance: 5km/3mi
Walking Time: 4-5 hours
Habitat: Moorland
Day 9 : Hike Shira Camp to Lava Tower to Barranco Camp
From the Shira Plateau we continue to the east up a ridge, passing the junction towards the peak of Kibo. As we continue, our direction changes to the South East towards the Lava Tower, called the "Shark's Tooth" (elev 4650m/15,250ft). Shortly after the tower we come to the second junction which goes to the Arrow Glacier. We now continue down to the Barranco Camp. Although you end the day around the same elevation as when you began, this day is very important for acclimatization and will help your body prepare for summit day.
Elevation: 3850m/12,600ft to 4000m/13,000ft
Distance: 10km/6mi
Walking Time: 5-6 hours
Habitat: Semi-desert
Day 10 : Hike Barranco Camp to Barafu Camp
After breakfast, we leave Barranco and continue on a steep ridge up the Barranco Wall (elev 4250m/13,900ft), through the Karanga Valley (elev 4050m/13,250ft) to the junction which connects with the Mweka Trail. We continue up to the Barafu Camp. You have completed the South Circuit, which offers views of the summit from many different angles. Here we make camp with views of the summit in the distance.
Elevation: 4000m/13,000ft to 4700m/15,350ft
Distance: 9km/6mi
Hiking Time: 6-8 hours
Habitat: Alpine Desert
Day 11: Hike Barafu Camp to Summit, down to Mweka Camp
Very early in the morning (midnight to 2 am), we continue our way to the summit between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers. You head in a northwesterly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. At Stella Point you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see. Faster hikers may view the sunrise from the summit.
From Stella Point, you may encounter snow all the way on your 1-hour ascent to the summit. Once at Uhuru Peak you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa!
From the summit we begin our descent by continuing straight down to the Mweka Camp, stopping at Barafu for lunch. You may want gaiters and trekking poles for the loose gravel going down. We arrive at Mweka Camp and enjoy our last evening on the mountain.After summit to the later back to the camp for dinner and overnight
Elevation: 4700m/15,350ft to 5895m/19,340ft
Down to 3090m/10,150ft
Distance: 5km/3mi up / 13km/8mi down
Hiking Time: 5-7 hours up / 5-6 hours down
Habitat: Stone scree and ice-capped summit
Day 12 : Hike Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate, drive to Moshi
After breakfast we continue the descent down to the Mweka Park Gate to receive your summit certificates. At lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy. Gaiters and trekking poles will help. Shorts and t-shirts will probably be plenty to wear (keep rain gear and warmer clothing handy).
From the gate, continue another hour to Mweka Village. A vehicle will meet you at Mweka village to drive you back to your hotel in Moshi (about 30 minutes). Don't forget to tip your guides and porters.
