Sarah Chapman Morning Facial

I love oils and serums as I find my dehydrated skin loves them too which is why I was very excited to hear about the Sarah Chapman Morning Facial. Well that and the face I love the Overnight Facial (and most of the range).

I’m forever on a quest for glowy skin and this product gives me just that but without leaving my skin feeling loaded with product or oily. It leaves my skin hydrated and radiant whilst supposedly protecting the skin again pollution and inflammation. I would even go as far as to say it leaves my skin looking younger and gives me that slightly dewy finish I am looking for.
I apply this under my moisturiser, therefore also under my makeup and it works perfectly under my makeup all day long.
Perfect product to help achieve a healthy glow and is available here

  1. 18th September 2014 / 2:00 pm

    LOVE the overnight facial, so definitely need to try this! xxx

  2. 22nd September 2014 / 4:57 pm

    I'm loving this one myself at the moment.. my oily skin can't quite cope with it on a regular basis, but once or twice a week as a treat – it's incredible!

    and beauty or something.

Physicians’ primary ethical obligation is to promote the well-being of individual patients. Physicians also have a long-recognized obligation to patients in general to promote public health and access to care. This obligation requires physicians to be prudent stewards of the shared societal resources with which they are entrusted. Managing health care resources responsibly for the benefit of all patients is compatible with physicians’ primary obligation to serve the interests of individual patients.

To fulfill their obligation to be prudent stewards of health care resources, physicians should:

(a) Base recommendations and decisions on patients’ medical needs.

(b) Use scientifically grounded evidence to inform professional decisions when available.

(c) Help patients articulate their health care goals and help patients and their families form realistic expectations about whether a particular intervention is likely to achieve those goals.

(d) Endorse recommendations that offer reasonable likelihood of achieving the patient’s health care goals.

(e) Choose the course of action that requires fewer resources when alternative courses of action offer similar likelihood and degree of anticipated benefit compared to anticipated harm for the individual patient but require different levels of resources.

(f) Be transparent about alternatives, including disclosing when resource constraints play a role in decision making.

(g) Participate in efforts to resolve persistent disagreement about whether a costly intervention is worthwhile, which may include consulting other physicians, an ethics committee, or other appropriate resource.

Physicians are in a unique position to affect health care spending. But individual physicians alone cannot and should not be expected to address the systemic challenges of wisely managing health care resources. Medicine as a profession must create conditions for practice that make it feasible for individual physicians to be prudent stewards by:

(h) Encouraging health care administrators and organizations to make cost data transparent (including cost accounting methodologies) so that physicians can exercise well-informed stewardship.

(i) Ensuring that physicians have the training they need to be informed about health care costs and how their decisions affect overall health care spending.

(j) Advocating for policy changes, such as medical liability reform, that promote professional judgment and address systemic barriers that impede responsible stewardship.

Upcoming Events in Plettenberg Bay

Written by AmakayaBP

Plettenberg Bay is known as a perfect summer holiday destination and one of the best spots in the world for whale watching (July-Nov). But outside of those seasons, there is still plenty to do and see and the phrase “Secret Season” has been coined because few people know about the excellent weather, artistic and sporting events and year-round fun to be had in Plett during the Secret Season.

Some Upcoming Events:

Site_Specific Land Art:

The Land Art events (the first of which happened in Plettenberg Bay in 2011) are set to become a favourite South African showcase. How can one argue with art and nature combined in such a beautiful setting. The Land Art events not only showcase the work of local and international artists but are closely linked to conservation and community development. The 2013 Land Art event has a series of initiatives starting in April and culminating with the main event in August.

21 April – 7 May 2013: Land Art Workshop
Conducted by Erica Lüttich includes local craft projects and a “running fences” installation around the areas of Kwanokuthula, New Horizons, Kranshoek & The Crags.

10-17 August 2013: Site_Specific Land Art event
The official Land Art event and display of the artists’ work. This is not to be missed and all of Plett is looking forward to the creations that spring up all over Plettenberg Bay and surrounding areas.

The Whale Rally:

14-16 June 2013
Presented by the Ulysses Motorcycle Club

We think that most bikers would agree that having a motorbike affords you more freedom than almost anyone else. Come the weekend, these explorers hop onto their motorbikes and can be anywhere in South Africa within 12 hours. The Whale Rally is a celebration of this culture, set in an ideal location along the Garden Route and is really all about Bikes, Bonfires and Boerewors Rolls. The Rally can host anything up to 1500 bikers per event, so if you are a bike fundi, the Whale Rally is where it’s all happening!

Wedge Classic:

2 – 6 July 2013

South Africa’s longest running bodyboarding contest is held every year in Plettenberg Bay, During the winter months, when the winter storms send swells rolling into the bay, delivering great waves for an exciting Wedge. The event usually attracts spectators and sponsors, making the Wedge Beach a great place to be. And bodyboarding is a thrilling spectator sport and a great day well spent on the beach. Amakaya Backpackers is also looking forward to playing host to some of the contestants, so contact us for more information.

I've just started taking up running after hours or research I opted for these. And I'm glad I did! They're a nice snug and comfy fit, well-ventilated and super light. My feet and ankles feel well-supported when running and walking. Very good value I reckon.

Reading Through The Seasons | Collaborative Post

During the colder months, bookworms love staying inside by the fire, snuggled up with a book whilst outside it pours with rain. It's all very hygge (I have literally never said that word in my life), though I always find I have less time to read in winter due to my birthday, Christmas, and various festivities.

Last year I read 65 books, which I was pretty proud of considering my goal was only 40, but only 12 of those were in winter. I was really busy, and so if I answer the question in the video below, I would have to say I count myself out...

But here's a plot twist: I much prefer reading in summer; ironically, it's way more chill. There's no schoolwork, so no guilt, and I just feel more able to read. Do you know what I mean? Like, my mind is freer and I'm more relaxed, so reading is something I'm more inclined to do. Plus, I LOVE summery books, and of course the majority of these come out during actual summer. So without further ado, here are the summery books I'm most looking forward to this summer. (Look at Keris Stainton's new book, One Italian Summer. LOOK AT IT.)

Milly loves her sisters more than anything - they are her best friends. But this holiday is different.

The loss of their dad has left a gaping hole in their lives that none of them know how to fill. Heartbreak is a hard thing to fix...

Still, there is plenty to keep the girls busy in Rome. A family wedding. Food, wine, parties and sun. And of course Luke... Luke is hot, there is no way around that. And Milly will always have a crush on him. But this summer is about family, being together, and learning to live without Dad. It isn't about Luke at all... is it?

Caroline Kelly is excited to be spending her summer vacation working at the local amusement park with her best friend, exploring weird Ohio with her boyfriend, and attending soccer camp with the hope she'll be her team's captain in the fall.

But when Caroline's mother is hired to open an eye clinic in Cairo, Egypt, Caroline's plans are upended. Caroline is now expected to spend her summer and her senior year in a foreign country, away from her friends, her home, and everything she's ever known.

With this move, Caroline predicts she'll spend her time navigating crowded streets, eating unfamiliar food, and having terrible bouts of homesickness. But what she finds instead is a culture that surprises her, a city that astounds her, and a charming, unpredictable boy who challenges everything she thought she knew about life, love, and privilege.

Dimple Shah has it all figured out. With graduation behind her, she's more than ready for a break from her family, from Mamma's inexplicable obsession with her finding the 'Ideal Indian Husband.' Ugh. Dimple knows they must respect her principles on some level, though. If they truly believed she needed a husband right now, they wouldn't have paid for her to attend a summer program for aspiring web developers... right?

Rishi Patel is a hopeless romantic. So when his parents tell him that his future wife will be attending the same summer program as him - wherein he'll have to woo her - he's totally on board. Because as silly as it sounds to most people in his life, Rishi wants to be arranged, believes in the power of tradition, stability, and being a part of something much bigger than himself.

The Shahs and Patels didn't mean to start turning the wheels on this 'suggested arrangement' so early in their children's lives, but when they noticed them both gravitate toward the same summer program, they figured, why not?

Dimple and Rishi may think they have each other figured out. But when opposites clash, love works hard to prove itself in the most unexpected ways.

In this modern-day love story, Girl likes Boy, Girl takes photo of Boy and posts it online, Boy becomes accidentally insta-famous. And what starts out as an innocent joke spirals into a whirlwind adventure that could change both their lives - and their hearts - forever. But are fame and love worth the price?

Sophia has seven days left in Tokyo before she moves back to the States. Seven days to say goodbye to the electric city, her wild best friend, and the boy she's harbored a semi-secret crush on for years. Seven perfect days... until Jamie Foster-Collins moves back to Japan and ruins everything.

Jamie and Sophia have a history of heartbreak, and the last thing Sophia wants is for him to steal her leaving-thunder with his stupid arriving-thunder. Yet as the week counts down, the relationships she thought were stable begin to explode around her. And Jamie is the one who helps her pick up the pieces. Sophia is forced to admit she may have misjudged Jamie, but can their seven short days of Tokyo adventures end in anything but goodbye?

You go through life thinking there's so much you need...

Until you leave with only your phone, your wallet, and a picture of your mother.

Marin hasn't spoken to anyone from her old life since the day she left everything behind. No one knows the truth about those final weeks. Not even her best friend, Mabel. But even thousands of miles away from the California coast, at college in New York, Marin still feels the pull of the life and tragedy she's tried to outrun. Now, months later, alone in an emptied dorm for winter break, Marin waits. Mabel is coming to visit, and Marin will be forced to face everything that's been left unsaid and finally confront the loneliness that has made a home in her heart.

Sisters Leo and Paris Hollings have only ever had each other to rely on. They can't trust their mother, who hops from city to city and from guy to guy, or their gambler stepfather, who's moved them all to Las Vegas. It's just the two of them: Paris, who's always been the dreamer, and Leo, who has a real future in mind - going to Stanford, becoming a doctor, falling in love. But Leo isn't going anywhere right now, except driving around Vegas all night with her sister.

Until Paris ditches Leo at the Heartbreak Hotel Diner, where moments before they had been talking with physics student Max Sullivan. Outside, Leo finds a cryptic note from Paris - a clue. Is it some kind of game? Where is Paris, and why has she disappeared? When Leo reluctantly accepts Max's offer of help, the two find themselves following a string of clues through Vegas and beyond. But the search for the truth is not a straight line. And neither is the path to secrets Leo and Max hold inside.

Do you prefer reading in winter, spring, or summer?

Germany: Allgäu Comets sign former Texas Tech, Rutgers QB McLane Carter

The Allgäu Comets of the German Football League have signed former Texas Tech (NCAA Div. I FBS, Big 12) and Rutgers (Div. I FBS, Big Ten) quarterback McLane Carter for the 2021 season.

The 6’3″, 225 pound, 24 year old Carter from Gilmer, Texas had initially retired from football early in the 2019 season with Rutgers as a graduate senior, citing a concussion he suffered during the year. In his only start, he showed off his abilities leading the Scarlet Knights to their only win of the season, throwing for 340 yards and two touchdowns in a 48-21 victory over UMass. He left Rutgers‘ second game, a 30-0 loss to Iowa, with a concussion

At Texas Tech, his junior season was cut short due to injuries. He had been named the starting quarterback after preseason practices but was injured for most of the season shortly after. He closed the year 28-of-51 passing for 318 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions.

He attended Tyler Junior College in 2016 and threw for 3,226 yards and 30 touchdowns in just nine games.  Playing for Gilmer High School in Gilmer, Texas, Carter completed 220-of-297 passes (74 percent) for 3,969 yards with 47 touchdowns and only two interceptions despite sitting sizable portions of the second half in blowouts as a senior. He led the Buckeyes to a 16-0 record in 2014, culminating in the Class 4A Division II State Championship.

Oahu: The All Around Playground

O’ahu boasts more surf spots and variety of water sports opportunities than any of the Hawaiian Islands.

IN THE GRAND old 80’s, O’ahu was the bustling Mecca of windsurfing. Anyone who had the desire to make windsurfing the center of his or her universe would end up on O’ahu. European pioneers like Sigi Hoffman and Jurgen Honscheid would make their annual pilgrimage to Kailua to test out their latest race boards for the Pan Am World Cup. “It was a very special place and time”, remarked Annabella Hoffman, who at the time was known as Sigi Hoffman, then a young World Champion and board designer from Germany.

A few years later many people got spoiled with their desire for more and stronger wind, however, and the discovery of Ho’okipa created a mass exodus to Maui. For some, such as Pete Cabrinha, and later Josh Stone and Keala Bryant, it turned out to be a lucrative move.

Others, though, remained forever loyal to O’ahu for a variety of reasons. O’ahu boasts more surf spots and variety of water sports opportunities than any of the Hawaiian Islands. It has ideal conditions for surfing, sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddling, fishing, diving, wakeboarding, snorkeling—often all in the same day. Generally you’ll find wind on one side of the island, and calm conditions on the other side. Windsurfers can sail both tacks consistently, with a choice of waves or flat water spots.

“What I really like about O’ahu is the sense of community”, says Kat Tracy, professional kiteboarder during her visit to O’ahu. “You have a lot more coastal access than Maui, and as a result, there is cooperation between a lot of different sports coexisting together. There is so much welcoming aloha as opposed to Maui where you have really narrow beach access and limitations and restrictions. Here you’ve got kayaks, outriggers, windsurfers, kiters, swimmers—you’ve got families—and everybody’s totally cool with each other.”

Besides being the place to live for the person with all the toys, O’ahu has the jobs, the cultural events, and a bit of everything from the mainland (U.S.), Korean, Chinese, Filipino, Southeast Asian, Pacific Island, and Japanese cultures — to name a few.

“I love living on O`ahu because of the diversity—it’s not necessarily a windsurf-only community. You have the University, theatres, movies, even the opera (which is in my Italian blood), and you don’t feel confined in the middle of nowhere.” says Raffaella Negretti, a fairly recent transplant from Italy who moved here “not for windsurfing, but for work and school,” adding that “the windsurfing addiction came later.” She has since become a regular at Diamond Head. “I believe here (on O’ahu) you can have balance in your life: work, play, contact with nature, friendly relationships without that elitist quality that social relations sometimes have in Europe. Here you meet people who come from different places, do different things, and have different interests.”

Culture abounds on this island. Go to the swap meet at Aloha Stadium and you will find the Koreans and Vietnamese doing what they do best—selling everything from corny Hawaiian souvenirs (made in China) to auto stereos and pirate CDs. Wander through Chinatown for those mysterious herbal remedies or vegetables that you wouldn’t find at Safeway. Waipahu is the Filipino community, complete with low-rider purple cars, pink fuzzy dice, booming car stereos, greased back hair, gold chains, and fighting chickens.

Drive through and drool at the opulent abodes near Kahala, Diamond Head, or the little pocket inside Kailua called Lanikai. Out on the “wild west” side, Mahaka is the home of the “Buffalo Big Board Surfing Classic”—the only contest in the world that has a 250 lb. plus division for those big “braddahs” that had one too many “plate lunch” (consisting of two scoops of rice, gravy, some sort of greasy meat, and potato-macaroni salad—a bit of potato and some noodles drowning in mayonnaise)!

O’ahu also still has remnants of that old Hawaiian style, but for that, you have to look harder. The old local style can be found in the homestead areas such as Waimanalo and Nanakuli, where you may experience localisms like “stink eye” and the “howzit” greeting spoken with eyebrows only. Among friends, you will immediately be greeted with a kiss and a huge plate of food. “Come, eat!” is the first thing you’ll hear. After that, you sit down and “talk story.” Local style is very family oriented, and it’s important to know who you are related to, or what family you hail from. Here, for the most part, everyone knows everyone. That can be good and bad, depending on your business. In order to get anything done (like getting a job), it helps if you know someone. If your friend’s auntie works there she can give you “da scoops.”

The balance of career and recreation is what really makes O’ahu the place to live. Judging by the crowds at most surf spots during the workweek, it often appears that no one has a job, or they have all found creative ways of escaping the office. Wind pagers go off and suddenly there are “board meetings” to attend. “One more wave” is Manno’s mantra, as she negotiates her option of showing up at her job coaching gymnastics all wet and bedraggled because there wasn’t enough time to get cleaned up properly. Fellow Italian Negretti maintains that life on O’ahu “allows you to maintain the right perspective on your priorities, on the importance of your job, your career, or your interests (e.g., windsurfing). Plus windsurfing is relatively uncrowded, not so competitive as in Maui, and you have great waves all year around.”

Besides having some of the best sailing potentials you’ll ever find, the windsurfing scene is far friendlier here than Maui. Motivated by the sheer love of the sport, sailors don’t have to fight for the spotlight or the sponsorships, or space on the waves. OK, we still get our mob of (non-resident) Italians who arrive every summer and descend upon Diamond Head like hordes of locusts, and windsurf like they drive. A couple of fistfights have ensued, but we can still talk sense to most of them and eke out our share of waves.

Diamond Head in the summer is like a great class reunion. Starting with the traditional Mother’s Day swell in May, people come out of the woodwork as soon as the first hint of south arrives. There is a great camaraderie among the regulars, and many a birthday has been celebrated among the “‘ohana” (family). It’s not so exclusive and friends are made easily. “I always look forward to the summer”, affirms O’ahuan Scott Carvill. “Most pros are off trying to find somewhere in the world to practice or do travel stories. For the most part, Maui’s wave riding scene is pretty crap in the summer. The opposite is true for me—I try to clear my schedule as much as possible to make time to be home on Oahu. Apart from being home with all my family and friends and a great place to live, the sailing is great. You have everything from small windy jumping days to big wave riding only days. Diamond Head, and the south shore of O’ahu is a big area directly exposed to the south swells and the consistent summer trades that make it, in my opinion, the place to be.”

On a few occasions throughout the summer, those great S-SW swells come thundering in, to the delight of port-tack wave junkies. The Maui pros fly in for the day and struggle to negotiate the quirky winds and that funky feeling of sailing backward, except for Robby, Josh, and Scott, who make a killing of every wave as they instinctively switch back to port tack. No longer the slow, ambling wave that forgives your every hesitation, this new animal comes alive and starts chewing up sails and masts like there is no tomorrow. In just one of those days, there are more guys trudging back up the hill for reinforcements than the yearly average at other spots. These are the days that the Diamond Head regulars live for. The wave actually gets hollow and the sweet spot by the reef in front of the showers becomes the carnival ride of the day.

More often, though, Diamond Head waves are slow and mushy, so it’s a great place to learn to sail in waves. Negretti maintains that “Diamond Head has many peaks, it’s broad, there’s room for everybody and you can progress from small waves to bigger ones. It is always forgiving, and even in big waves, it’s not as dangerous as other spots because you actually have a channel. It’s not like other spots where you have to find your way out through the reef, and then if you wipe out, you are in 2 feet of water. Diamond Head is the place where I feel comfortable in any conditions.”

At the end of summer, Diamond Head becomes a ghost town except for a handful of die-hards (like the visitors from Hawaii Pacific University who come to Hawaii to “study”). In fact, the windsurfing crowd on O’ahu is probably about 80% imported—comprised of people who came here temporarily but then realized that living anywhere else would be unacceptable. Yukiko Sato, a Japanese national that has made O’ahu her long time home, says, “Mmmmmm Diamond Head! It’s like my 2nd home. I love the awesome wind and waves in the summer time and being able to see the beautiful Diamond Head and the lighthouse in the background.”

The wind on O’ahu is not as dependable as Maui, so a visiting tourist with limited time would be better off booking it straight to Maui. “More waves for us,” we say. These days there is only a trickle of hardcore windsurfers left on O’ahu, with few new recruits. Windsurfing sales are in the doldrums while kite sails are sprouting up all over. Newcomers are attracted to the latest craze, which also lures many of the old-time windsurfers who are bored unless the waves are substantial. Kailua slalom master Julian Browne calls it “going over to the dark side” and pretends to be on non-speaking terms with those who have ‘defected’.

Kiteboarders have shacked up for good at the popular North Shore windsurfing spot at Mokuleia. “Mokes” is a mellow North Shore alternative to gnarly Backyards, with lots of wind and an easy channel to negotiate. There are rarely any surfers on a windy day. One would hope for a bit of brotherly love between kindred sports, but the kite craze has created a wee bit of friction here and there: “I’m gonna get me a knife and cut their line” snorts a disgruntled Mokes regular, irritated by the proximity of the lethal lines. Though there are plenty of waves all around O’ahu, crowds have become more and more aggressive. Turf has always been an issue, and one type of response was the formation of “da Hui” or the “Black Shorts gang,” who pretty much get to have their say in what happens on the North Shore.

If you prefer solitude, you can join the dying breed of windsurfers at Backyards, a place with more punch than Ho’okipa and considerably trickier to navigate. It’s definitely not as friendly as the South Shore and parking is limited to a select few who have the key.

“The North Shore in winter time is exclusively for advanced people,” explains Backyards veteran Claudia Manno.” Backyards is the most dangerous and fascinating windsurfing spot I ever sailed in my life. The adrenaline in your body is beyond control. Your mouth becomes very dry while walking toward water, as you see 8 footers rolling through the dry and sharp reef.”

If you want friendly, you should check out Kailua beach. Kailua town has developed enormously in the past decade but has maintained it’s small-town feel. It’s the best place to learn how to windsurf or kitesurf, with miles of white sand beaches, gentle side shore winds that occasionally kick up with some punch (35+ MPH) during the winter months, and mostly sand bottom. If there’s no wind, you can rent a kayak or enjoy the best swimming area on the island.

There are lots of shops providing rentals and instruction. Or maybe you’ll be lucky to run into Eddie Wong, who is Mr. Aloha at Kailua Beach. I don’t know how many people he has taught, but he doesn’t charge money (though a plate lunch would probably make him happy) and he’s just plain full of aloha. You can see him blazing around on his slalom gear on a high wind day or toying around on a stock board doing freestyle tricks on any other day.

There are lots of other sailable spots all around O’ahu. “Toes” near Aina Haina is good for wave riding but you have to wait for higher tides. Kahala is a place near Diamond Head with a bit smaller waves but then you don’t have to walk down that hill. Besides it has a nice grassy spot to rig, with showers, and a mellow crowd. Turtle Bay in Kahuku used to be a popular spot, but you’ll rarely see that anymore. Waimanalo is sailable too but there are hardly any takers, despite the common option of long, mellow runs.

On those rare Kona wind days, there are other sailable spots such as Hawaii Kai, Waikiki, Sand Island, and other unlikely spots.

On the fickle NW wind days, “Rainbows” past Ka’a’awa and Lanikai reef have provided some epic sessions with waves. But you have to be there at the right place, the right time.

So there you have it, whatever wind direction or speed (including zero), O’ahu has something for everybody. Sailor or non-sailor, career or cosmopolitan, you can find it here. But if you still have doubts, no worries here. Many O’ahuans are fine with the advice: “But really now, you ought to just go to Maui!”

Sonja Evensen, veteran Diamond Head sailor and international competitor, originally hails from Norway. She has crossed the Molokai Channel three times (twice on purpose) and, according to her, her most erotic windsurf adventure involved a hippo in Lake Malawi, Africa. Evensen currently divides her play time between windsurfing, surfing, and kiteboarding (not necessarily in that order). She works as a prevention educator for Native Hawaiian communities for Pacific Resources for Education and Learning.

Bitchu-Matsuyama Castle – One of the Oldest & Highest Castles in Japan

This post may contain affiliate links. Please visit our Disclosure page for details.

A fortress in the heavens. A stronghold in the sky. Japan’s Bitchu-Matsuyama Castle is a vision from a distance and a time capsule up close. With roots back to 1240, this one of Japan’s oldest castles. It’s also the highest castle in Japan out of the original twelve that have survived. While not a large structure, this Japanese castle’s positioning, location, and views make it an incredible place to visit in Okayama Prefecture.

COVER Japanese Castle in the Clouds Bitchu Matsuyama Okayama

Bitchu-Matsuyama Castle in Okayama

There are many fantastic things to do in Okayama, and for anyone interested in Japanese history and architecture, this castle should be on your list. This strategic lookout point was once almost impossible to see up close. After all, mountain perches like this were chosen because of how difficult they were to access. Yet today, centuries after construction and countless forgotten battles, you can stand in the same place where soldiers kept watch for encroaching forces.

The Highest Original Japanese Castle

Japanese Castle in Okayama Bitchu Matsuyama

Bitchu Matsuyama Castle in Japan

Crouching atop a mountain 430 meters above sea level, the Bitchuu-Matsuyama Castle was a strategic lookout point for various armies. Construction began in the 13th century, but over the years various leaders expanded or rebuilt it to suit their needs. By 1683, over 400 years later, it began to resemble what we see today.

Many castles were destroyed in the Meiji Era of modernization, but Bitchu-Matsuyama Castle was spared. Its impenetrable location is one reason why it remains intact, although for years it lay empty and in disrepair. In the years leading up to WWII, restoration began. Many of the roofs we see today are the result, but much of the castle is still original wood. Inside you can see the stove they used to warm themselves and the shrine they used to pray to their ancestors. You can run your hands along fortress walls still with circular and rectangular slits where archers took aim at their enemies.

Tips for Visiting Bitchu-Matsuyama Castle

Bitchu Matsuyama Castle Observation Deck Japan

There are hundreds of castles in Japan that are in various states of refurbishment and authenticity. Out of the four major castles in Okayama Prefecture, the most famous is the eponymously named Okayama Castle. Near the center of town, Okayama Castle is close to the prefecture’s main train station and a short walk from other attractions such as Korakuen Garden. Many of the most famous Japanese castles are easy to reach: Osaka Castle, Kyoto’s Nijo Castle and Himeji Castle in Hyogo Prefecture are all an easy stroll from public transportation.

In contrast, Bitchu-Matsuyama is a little trickier to access, but now it’s easier than ever. Once an impregnable fortress, now it offers beautiful views and a unique look back at feudal Japan. Here’s how to get the most out of a visit.

Best Time to Visit Bitchu-Matsuyama Castle

closeup Bitchu Matsuyama Castle in Okayama Prefecture Japan

If you want to see Bitchu Matsuyama Castle in its cloud-shrouded glory, the best months are November and December in the wee hours after dawn. The temperature and climate play a large role in cloud placement, and historically the castle looks almost like an island in a sea of clouds during the last months of the year. The picture you see here I took at the beginning of February, so you can see the difference in cloud altitude.

Opening Hours and Admission

Tickets for Bitchu-Matsuyama Castle are ¥300 for adults and ¥150 for Primary and Junior High Students. Opening hours are as follows:

  • 09:00 – 17:30 from April to September
  • 09:00 – 16:30 from October to March
  • Closed during the Shōgatsu Holidays (December 29th to January 3rd)

How to Visit Bitchu-Matsuyama Castle

There are two main ways to see the castle: up close and from a viewpoint half a kilometer away. My recommendation is to go to the viewpoint first and arrive early in the morning when the clouds are still low. That way you end up driving through the clouds on the way. I arranged for a taxi to bring me to the observation deck around 7:30 AM. After seeing it from this distance, I went back to my hotel for breakfast, washed up, and then jumped in a taxi to go to the castle itself.

  • You can book the taxis here for ¥2,000. (They’re working on an English web page…I’ll update when it’s ready). That’s for taxi only. You’ll still need to pay admission.

Plan for a 20-Minute Hike

how to get to Bitchu Matsuyama Castle Okayama Prefecture Japan

There is no parking lot in front of Bitchu-Matsuyama Castle. The closest you can get on wheels is about a 20-minute walk away. The steps and incline are fairly steep, but the views of the valley below are worth the climb. The path is concrete and stone but it is not wheelchair or stroller-friendly. Similarly, there are many stretches with no guardrail, so be careful with little kids. They can easily climb the path but should be careful near steep drop-offs.

It’s a beautiful walk. For instance, I went in the middle of winter and it was still green and sunny. In the warmer months, it’s even nicer. After all, the castle sits in a national forest, with over 1,000 different species of plants surrounding it. You might see some wildlife, as well: birds mostly, but also monkeys. Just be careful around them, as  Japanese macaques are territorial.

Where to Stay to Visit Bitchu-Matsuyama Castle

Breakfast at Takahashi International Hotel Okayama Prefecture Japan

When I last visited, I stayed at the Takahashi International Hotel. It’s only two minutes on foot from Bitchu-Takahashi Station. The hotel is also about 20 minutes by car to the castle observatory platform and 15 minutes by car from the walking path to the castle itself. They have a fantastic Japanese breakfast (see above). Western breakfasts also available but I didn’t try them.

Have You Been to a Japanese Castle?

Bitchu-Matsuyama is one of many amazing castles in Japan. You have the Okayama Castle and Himeji Castle nearby, but there are many amazing historical buildings in Japan. Where would you want to see?

El Nido, Palawan Accommodations List with Map

Having lived in El Nido on and off since 2005, I have seen how the little town has grown over the years. When I was last back there this year, there are so many more accommodations available that I felt making a master list would be very useful. The El Nido Tourism council has come up with a map and this will be our guide. This list was compiled in September 2012. *updates are ongoing with the photos and details*

We will use these maps as guide:

The Before-and-After Photo-documentation Project – Hama Street

Life in El Nido, Palawan, Photography By October 21, 2012 Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , No Comments

Calle Hama begins where Balinsasayaw Road, a road that starts off at Rizal Street, meets the road that goes to the northernmost baranggays of the town of El Nido, at the corner where Lally & Abet Beach Cottages is found. This is the street that we take all the time because we lived a kilometer or so north of town but the entire time I was there, I kept thinking I was going to devote just one day to taking photos of the town, that in the end, I did not manage to. In my last two weeks in El Nido, it kept raining and some of the establishments were in the process of  renovating and/or building more cottages.

Most of the originals of my old El Nido photos are lost. The ones I repost are mostly from a folder that I found that has a title “El Nido Town Reduced”, so the files have been reduced. But recently, I found a folder that says “El Nido Town 3” with photos taken from April 2006 and these were original files and have not been reduced. I found these two photos:

2006 Lally and Abet Cottages copy

2006 Rosanna's Cottages copy

My photos of Calle Hama begin at Lonesome Carabao Lounge and end right before Marina Garden Beach Cottages. Calle Hama is the busiest street in El Nido town and has the most number of establishments, accommodations and restaurants. In order, from the intersection, one can find the following accommodations: Lally & Abet Beach Cottages, El Nido Beach Hotel, Inngo Tourist Inn, Devayn’s Inn, and Rosanna’s Cottages.

Lonesome Carabao Lounge, El Nido, Palawan

Lonesome Carabao Lounge sits at a location that I remember used to be a rice store… if not a poultry supply store. The building right next to it used to be where the El Nido Public Market was “supposed” to be. The local government has tried to move the public market many times. The public market now has been successfully moved and operating at a big complex in Corong-Corong, where the bus stations are also found. This has done wonders in the vehicle and foot traffic in the narrow streets of the little town and El Nido – something that I truly appreciate.

Hama St., El Nido, Palawan

When I was living in El Nido in 2006, my favorite store was Kuya Loy’s store in front of the waiting shed. We hung out a lot there with Kuya Loy and his wife, Ate Mavic. We borrowed his paddle boat a lot too. Kuya Loy, a musician, played at Balay Tubay and Ricson’s Bar and Restaurant. One of my co-teachers and also my best buddy at that time, Eric, played bass guitar for his band every now and then. (Photo below: Top, 2006; bottom, 2012)

Kuya Loys Store, El Nido, Palawan

In the photo below, on the leftmost end is Lonesome Carabao Lounge, and on the rightmost end is where El Nido Plaza Inn is.

Hama St., El Nido, Palawan

In between Kuya Loy’s store and Baracalan is a parking lot and El Nido Plaza Inn. El Nido Plaza Inn has been there ever since, one of the oldest and cheapest accommodations in El Nido, but I have never seen it. I don’t know what it looks like inside or where exactly is the building. I just know it’s there.

Hama St., El Nido, Palawan

Across the street is a row of beachfront cottages, also with entrances through Hama Street.

Inspired by the natural world, I create original textile art which celebrates the wonders of our environment and highlights their vulnerability. Recent work focuses on wild plants, from the glorious profusion of the machair to the more easily missed beauty of Sphagnum moss.

My speciality is innovative machine embroidery - I enjoy stretching the technique to its limits in pursuit of new visual effects. Dissolvable fabric frees my embroidery from solid backgrounds, offering endless possibilities for contemporary lace-like structures and artifacts made entirely from stitched thread.

As well as wall hung art I make decorative bowls, unusual bookmarks, and brooches – little pieces of wearable textile art.

My work has been exhibited throughout the UK in art shows and contemporary craft galleries, and widely published in print and online.

Do you ever feel like there isn't one good portrait of yourself? Are you present in photos for your loved ones? Do you hide? You aren't alone!

Most ladies would love to feel glamorous in a photo but have never given themselves the treat of having someone take those images for them. I get so excited to photograph women because I can make them look and feel beautiful when they might not believe they are.  It is amazing to watch the surprise and shock when they see their images for the first time.

My prayer has always been.... "Lord help me to see just a glimpse of how beautifully you see them." When it happens.... It takes my breath away!

Call today to set up your glamour session. You're worth it!

Two hour session. 15 high resolution images. $400.

There are many top breast cancer surgeons in the U.S and it is important for you to choose the right one for your situation and stage of cancer along with the appropriate one for your treatment. Your own doctor will guide you at first and they can refer you to specialists in your area. You can look online or consult websites such the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Websites of medical schools or universities may also offer you some guidance.

Hospitals will have free confidential telephone or online services and can also aid you in finding professionals. They will tell you about a doctor’s background, so you can choose someone who has specialized in your type of cancer. Your insurance company can also give you guidance about specialists in your vicinity.

Once you have a few names then you should research their credentials, this should include how many procedures they have carried out. Have they specialized in your type of cancer and grade, which hospital are they affiliated with and how is that hospital performing? Is the doctor a specialist in your area, what oncology training do they have?

When you have made your informed decision based upon this information you need to meet the team that will be helping you. Cancer is dealt with by a team of doctors who are all trained in various areas. An oncologist will be the surgeon who oversees your cancer treatment and who also manages the chemotherapy. The radiation side of things is dealt with by a specialist who is known as a radiation oncologist and he will develop a plan for your treatment if required.

The team will also be in contact with pathologists, plastic surgeons, oncology nurses, social workers, dieticians and pharmacists or any other practitioner that you may require. All of your needs will be dealt with as a package to cause you as little stress as possible.

If you have any questions, no matter if you think they are silly, do not be afraid to ask your breast cancer specialist about them. Nothing is too much trouble as they want you to feel as happy and relaxed as possible so that you can recover quickly.

It is quite possible that you may need some emotional support throughout your breast cancer treatment. It is important to look after your emotional health so that you can make a full physical recovery. You can therefore be given a social worker to support both you and your family. You may have financial difficulties as a consequence of not being able to work and they can help with a whole host of problems that you may come up against. The hospital and medical profession also organize seminars, action and support groups to get you through the mental scars of your illness as well as the physical ones. A psychologist can help with anxiety or depression if you are suffering with this after your cancer scare. A dietician can help you become healthier after your scare and when you are on the road to recovery.

There is so much help waiting for you, do not be scared to use it.

Rain forces abandonment in first England-Pakistan T20 after Tom Banton fireworks

Tom Banton demonstrated his full range of power and innovation in a sparkling 71 off 42 balls but the inclement weather had the final say as England’s first Twenty20 international against Pakistan was abandoned.

Replacing the injured Jason Roy at the top of the order, Banton was dropped on five before he proceeded to punish Pakistan’s bowlers with four fours and five sixes, featuring some lusty hitting and unorthodox scoops.

His departure marked the start of England losing four wickets for 14 runs in 19 balls but the heavens opened at a gloomy Emirates Old Trafford, with the players disappearing for good after only 16.1 overs of play were possible.

Tom Banton produced a fine display of batting

Banton’s maiden T20 international half-century was the cornerstone of England’s 131 for six as the 21-year-old showed off the skills he has displayed in various domestic sprint format competitions around the world.

With England shorn of several first-choice stars for varying reasons, those routinely on the fringes such as Banton, Dawid Malan and Lewis Gregory were given their chance to burnish their credentials.

After England were invited to bat first under lights, Banton and Malan came together in the first over once Jonny Bairstow departed, the Yorkshireman offering a return catch to slow left-armer Imad Wasim.

Banton and Malan struggled to get to grips with a tricky pitch while the former was given a life early on when Iftikhar Ahmed shelled a regulation chance at slip off Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Left-arm quicks Shaheen and Mohammad Amir offered precious little width for the batsmen as England limpted to 34 for one after six overs – their lowest total in the powerplay since the 2016 World T20 final.

Banton was on 20 off 19 balls before he cast off the shackles with a meaty slog sweep off Shadab Khan for six, while the leg-spinner was taken the distance twice more in his next over by the opener.

A 71-run stand was ended when Malan was dismissed for 23 off as many balls, run out after haring down the pitch only for Banton to turn down a quick single having picked out the fielder at backward point.

Banton went to a 33-ball half-century before a couple of audacious scoops off seamer Haris Rauf. Attempting another big hit off Shadab, Banton instead got a leading edge, with Imad taking a steepler at extra cover.

Captain Eoin Morgan settled well but he missed a sweep off Iftikhar and was given lbw after making 14 off 10 balls, but the rain was steadily falling by the time Mohammad Rizwan took a sharp catch at the second attempt to see off Moeen Ali.

Match abandoned ☔ 😞

Rizwan then whipped off the bails after Gregory came charging down the pitch as England lurched from 109 for two to 123 for six before the rain turned heavier, leading to the players being brought off.

It was hoped a shortened run-chase would take place once the rain relented but the umpires deemed the outfield too wet, leading to the opener in this three-match series being called off at around 9pm.

We're still here. All alive and kickin'. Between swimming lessons, doctors appointments, and potty training this week, I'm pooped. Will is four months old today and I did write up a post about that but didn't get a chance to take his pictures. Blame it on the fun migraine I had all day. :) Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with pictures galore!

  1. The interest rates trend is rising. In last two months SBI has raised its interest rate on fixed deposit by 0.75%. It seems like the interest rates would go up more in near future. Hence should not lock your investment for long term.
  2. The profits of the company declined as compared to the previous year

  1. My recommendation is to invest some part of your Fixed Income investment in this NCD Issue
  2. You should always have diversified portfolio be it fixed deposit, NCD or equity investment
  3. Its good idea to remain invested till maturity because liquidity on exchanges are low and hence you would get lower than market value

If you plan to invest in this issue, do it early as most good NCD issues are over-subscribed before the end date.

Applewood’s Winter Caring Community Giveaway Begins

November 6, 2020

Applewood is once again gearing up for their quarterly $5,000 Caring Community Giveaway. In light of the recent fires that have devastated Colorado forests, Applewood employees chose to focus this quarter’s giveaway on supporting the preservation of the environment.

The three featured organizations for this quarter’s Giveaway are: Conservation Colorado, Colorado Fourteeners Initiative and Wildlands Restoration Volunteers. Each organization is working to ensure Colorado’s climate, pristine mountains and open spaces benefit from conservation efforts.

Conservation Colorado works to protect Colorado’s climate, air, land, water and communities by cleaning the environment, promoting clean energy, pushing policy and engaging leaders in conservation. This organization has already helped to update Colorado mining laws, get Brown’s Canyon designated as a national monument and protect the habitat of the Greater Sage Grouse.

Colorado Fourteeners Initiative’s mission is to preserve and protect the integrity of Colorado’s Fourteeners. The group organizes the building of sustainable trails, the restoration of trails and natural landscapes, the maintenance of the trails and the education of all those who enjoy the beauty of Colorado’s Fourteeners.

Wildlands Restoration Volunteers organizes thousands of volunteers each year to complete more than 100 wildlands conservation projects. These projects vary from the pulling of noxious weeds and planting of trees and native seeds to the restoration of trails and land destroyed by wildfires. They hope to create a feeling of shared responsibility for ecologically-significant lands across Colorado.

Applewood is leaving the decision to the community to decide which of these three worthy organizations will be receiving the $5,000 Caring Community Giveaway. Voting begins Friday, Nov. 6 and ends Nov. 20 at 12:00 p.m.

Community members can submit their vote on Applewood’s Facebook page (@applewoodPHE) or via their website at These votes will determine the winner.

What are GPUs and How Did They Become an Integral Part of Artificial Intelligence?

To begin, GPU stands for Graphic Processing Unit, and it’s a hardware that was originally developed for the video game world. GPUs were designed to speed up 3D graphics processing, with the capacity to process multiple, parallel computations simultaneously.

Over time, GPUs became more flexible and programmable, leading to their title as the unsung hero of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution.

Graphics rendering and deep learning both deal with an immense number of parallel simultaneous computations per second. The parallel architecture, and the huge memory bandwidth of GPUs make it the perfect solution for compute-intensive deep learning and machine learning AI.

Today, GPUs are an essential part of modern AI infrastructure, and new GPU’s have been created and optimized precisely for AI processes.

This is a great example of how innovations in one field may drastically improve another completely unrelated, yet important technological advancement!

Return to Archery Guidance Updated 4 July

July 3rd 2020
Sarah Booth

In response to the Prime Minister’s statement on 23 June and the subsequent guidance published by the Government on 30 June for the phased return of sport and recreation, Archery GB has updated our practical guidelines for clubs, coaches and archers.

These updates apply to England and Northern Ireland only, and have been developed to help clubs, coaches and archers operate in line with the Government guidance, while easing slowly out of lockdown. Unfortunately the updates announced today do not apply to those clubs, coaches and archers that reside in the area identified in the Leicester local lockdown. The full guidelines can be downloaded below. In Wales the 1m plus rule is not allowed, so coaching beginners must be done from 2m away if the coach is confident it can be done safely. All other Home Nations must apply their own government advice at all times.

We recognise that some clubs and organisations are ready to resume the delivery of archery experiences for beginners, our guidance has been developed to support instructors and coaches to deliver archery experiences safely. This is temporary guidance while government restrictions are in place.

Instructors and coaches are not under any pressure to provide sessions for beginners. We fully support instructors and coaches to only do what they feel comfortable with. This is the personal choice of the instructor or coach.

We also recognise that some clubs have experienced capacity challenges due to the restrictions around range layout. For clubs in England we have introduced a new option of 4m from each centre (depending on available space), and have introduced the ability for two archers from different households to share a target, as long as they are shooting in two single details and 2m social distancing is maintained. The decison whether to implement the new options should be made locally by clubs, after considering their own circumstances.

Please respect the club’s decision – the majority of clubs are run by volunteers, and they are managing a complex situation whilst doing their best to allow you to shoot.

The changes announced mean we still remain in ‘Phase 1 – Restricted Shooting’.  Archery clubs, archers and coaches please take the time to read and follow the latest guidelines and recommendations.

Clubs in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland should ensure that the guidance does not conflict with the relevant Government advice.

Tezuka’s Candy Sculptures

Shinri Tezuka who is just 27 years old is one of the last representatives of the art ‘Amezaiku’ (candy sculture)which is about to be disappeared.

Shinri Tezuka had to do self-taught because there hasn’t been anyone to teachhim how it should be done, and adds that there is no school to teach that technique.

Tezuka who runs a shop named Asakusa Amezaiku Ameshin tells the process that he experience during sculpturing:

aol-shinra-tezuka- (1)

“When you get the softened candy, you have just 5 minutes to form it. That is why being fast is the most important element during the design. Because after 5 minutes, candy starts to harden. Maybe this is the reason of this art’s beingso powerful.”

Shinri Tezuka’s most famous designs are goldfish, frog, tiger, dragon and figures like that. Tezuka also loves his job and regards himself as one of the people who try to survive the Japanese culture. Please look at the artist’s Instagram and watch the related video below.

With a 4K TV you can enjoy the kind of crisp picture that was previously only possible in cinemas. Colours are so vivid you’ll feel like you can reach out and touch the images on screen, and the level detail takes you right into the action. Make sure you get one of our TV stands too so you can position the TV perfectly for comfortable viewing.

Coupled with Blu-Rays, a 4K TV gives you the ultimate visual experience and you’ll see your favourite films in an entirely new way. When they’re hooked up to one of our home cinema systems the result is sound that matches the picture quality, with images and audio combining into an immersive experience unlike any you’ve had before.

With so many great films and TV shows to watch people are increasingly getting children’s TVs either for their bedroom or in another room of the house so that they can watch their favourite shows when they want. Have a look through our televisions and find the right TV for your child.
