Outdoor Classroom Built on Antioch Forested Property in NH
The faculty and students in the Environmental Studies department have expanded the opportunities for outdoor learning by building a Pavilion at Glover's Ledge, one of two Antioch University's forested properties in NH. A Pavillion Raising was held on October 23, 2017, which included Antioch students, faculty and alums. A gathering to celebrate this accomplishment will be held in April.
The Glover's Ledge team also held a Bridge Building Workshop in September on the property. Antioch students worked with a local contractor to build a bridge over a recently removed culvert, resulting in a natural flowing stream that is no longer a barrier to wildlife.

It's that time of year again were the collection of sunglasses makes an appearance, sunburn strikes in the strangest of places and weddings and barbeques are the monthly outings. Summer is a great time to get a little DIY creative and in this blog I explain why DIY Flower Crowns are a perfect choice to get your creative juices flowing!
When I was little, summer was usually spent outside with my childhood friends going on bike rides, chalking on the streets, inventing flower perfumes, rollerblading down hills, making dens and using my imagination to create anything I wanted. Does that young creative enthusiasm and the thought of anything is possible have to stop there? Yes I've grown out of chalking on the streets and haven't rollerbladed in a long time, although I'd still absolutely be able to rollerblade backwards! There's still creative outlets us young adults can get involved in and create. No children are needed to be your cover story for wanting to colour in the lines or have some fun with pipe cleaners and googly eyes.
Did you know making flower crowns was super easy to do?
They are also the perfect activity for a birthday or a hen do!
Items Needed:
I'm fortunate to have arty friends and an event like a birthday brings everyone together and is a great setting to try something new or go somewhere different. Birthday girl Jenn opted for something a little different this time around to celebrate her birthday. Flower crown making and tea and cake!
A local tea room was our setting. Who doesn't like a cup of tea and a slice of cake? Actually me, I'm not a tea drinker. I like cake though, give me two slices!
Jenn had previously looked into flower crown workshops but the price per person directed her to watching YouTube tutorials. A video or two later and the steps were learnt.
On the day Jenn showed us all a 2 minute demo. We had it straight away. Each crown was so different and showed off our personalities. It was lovely making something and being able to wear it. At the end we all felt like princesses and received lots of compliments from passers-by. The photoshoot we all had afterwards was lots of fun too!
This DIY session has made me want to do another. There's endless amounts of tutorials online. Doing the DIY flower crowns made me remember the TV shows that were on after school. Art Attack and Finger Tips and all the ridiculous things they came up with. As a child though you just had to make it. PVA glue was always an essential. I remember once making a boxing kangaroo rubbish bin!
*After curiously Googling that memory* F*** me, boxing kangaroo is still online! Fearne and Steven still there showing you how to make it!
Fancy having a go? Here's some easy steps.
DIY Flower Crowns
1.Measure circumference of head with wire (wrap wire around a few times for extra crown strength)
2.Cut wire with pliers
3.Cut flower head and leaves off stems with scissors
4.Wrap flowers and leaves around wire crown
5.Secure with tape and string
6.Keep wrapping flowers around crown until you are happy
7.Take lots of selfies and show off your flower crowns to friends
I'd love to hear what DIY things you like to do in the summer time. Let me know in the comments below or use my hashtag #scheduledescape to share your pictures on Instagram!

They say the grass is always greener on the other side. Perhaps this is what led us on a tour of Michigan breweries. Or perhaps it was just wanting to visit the origins of some of our favorite beers. I took off with my friend Ryan early on a Friday morning, driving around the southern tip of Lake Michigan into the Michigan with plans to have lunch at the Eccentric Cafe.
This wasn't the first trip to the Bell's beer tap room for either of us. Once we arrived we we're reminded of how great the Eccentric Cafe really is; with an excellent food menu and an even more tempting beer menu, not to mention a curious atmosphere with various flags, signs and maps adorning the walls. We each had a sandwich and shared sampler (set up on a Michigan-shaped board) of Bell's beers. My curried chicken salad sandwich was delicious. We picked six beers for our sampler. These included a cherry wheat, a strong honey wheat, a light and tangy wheat, Kalamazoo's famous Two Hearted Ale, a winter specialty called Best Brown and a Smoked Stout.
After noshing, sipping and listening to some Springsteen and Clash we decided to head west to the destination that we were really looking forward to, Jolly Pumpkin Artisanal Ales in Dexter, Michigan. I've wanted to visit Jolly Pumpkin ever since I tried their beer and heard about their means of production. Brewer "Captain Spooky Ron J" makes some of the most interesting and flavorful beers I've ever tasted. My first Jolly Pumpkin beer was the La Roja. I was struck by the multitude of flavors, the tartness and the carbonation. I haven't had this beer in awhile but my Beer Advocate review seems to jibe with my memory. A great deal of what makes Jeffries' beers so beguiling is the brewing process that he has adopted which comprises open fermentation and aging in various wood barrels. On the particular autumn day that we visited the brewery, we were greeted by the brewery's General Director Laurie Jeffries. Jolly Pumpkin is a friendly place and Jeffries eagerly gave us a tour around the small brewery. Once she was situated back behind the brewery's small bar she was ready with a flight of Jolly Pumpkin ales including Bam Biere, Bam Noire, Oro de Calabaza, La Parcela and the autumnal ale Fuego del Otono. We tasted the La Parcela, a pumpkin ale, first. Laurie says that at first the brewery had no intention of producing a pumpkin beer, but after several years they decided to try it out. The result is delicious. Lots of traditional pumpkin beer spices are present La Parcela, but a bit of chocolate emerges and the beer finishes tart. La Parcela basically refers to a garden patch, a place I suppose where pumpkins grow. This is an extremely rare beer and was not for sale. The next beer we tasted was the Fuego del Otono, which is made with chestnuts. I took some of this one home with me. The Fuego was an amber-orange hue with a delicous combination of bruised apples, spices and, well, chestnuts. The chestnut flavor could really bother some people but I kind of liked it. Again, a tartness shows up towards the finish, but not in an over-powering way. I believe the next beer we had was the Oro de Calabaza, a golden ale which nearly shot out of the bottle. This is the case with many of Jolly Pumpkin's beers, as the some of the wild yeasts keep working slowly in the bottle, building up a large amount of carbonation. The Calabaza was a very delicious, very effervescent golden ale with a mix of citrus aroma and flavors, an earthy-woody yeastiness and some tart funkiness in the dry finish. Such a dry finish makes the Calabaza quaffable, but at a danger to one's sobriety. This is not the case with the Bam Noire, a dark version of Bam Biere, and a low alcohol (4.5 percent by volume) bottle conditioned (but not barrel aged) ale. I appreciated this beer because it presented a decent a nice mix of delicate roastiness and chocolate flavors with the yeasty funk of some of the other Jolly beers without the high alcohol. That said, I've had the "regular" Bam Biere before and I think I prefer it's complexity and tart character over the Bam Noire. I wish had picked up a few more bottles at Jolly Pumpkin. The pricing was favorable compared to the $10-$11 that I pay in my own neck of the woods, but be forewarned if you visit: the brewery only takes cash or check.
After visiting Jolly Pumpkin we made our way back west towards Chicago; but we still had a handful of places to visit. As impressed as I am with Ron Jeffries' beers I didn't travel almost all the way across the state of Michigan for his beer. No, me and Ryan had plans to visit the Battle Creek home of some the best English-style beers on this side of the Atlantic. We drove about an hour west on I-94 to Battle Creek, but not before dropping some of our staff in Marshall at a Hampton Inn just off the expressway. We other plans in store for Marshall other spending a night in one of its hotels, but that was later. For now, we were hungry. We heard that Arcadia Brewing Company in downtown Battle Creek had some decent South Carolina-style BBQ and pizzas from a wood-fired oven. This sounded good. We already knew that Arcadia made some good interpretations of English-style ales such as pale ales, porter and IPA. Once we arrived at Arcadia we had to wait a half hour or so for a table, but the food was worth it. Ryan had a BBQ platter that included chicken, pork and beef along with a massive side order of baked squash. I couldn't make up mind as to whether I wanted BBQ or pizza, so I got A BBQ chicken pizza. I had an IPA at the bar as an apertif and that last me through dinner. Ryan opted for the Angler's Ale, while I stayed with the IPA. We both had a lot of food. Arcadia is a big place with sort of the feel of a warehouse. This aspect is possibly fueled by the idea that the brewery and bottling operatrions are in the same building as the pub. It was interesting to watch through the windows of the pub into the brewery. Although there was no brewing going on, it was cool to see the Peter Austin brewing system. I learned about this system in a great article written by Matt Dunn. In fact, his article was part of inspiration for making our trip to Michigan. It would've been nice to visit with some of the staff of the brewery as Matt did, but we were happy to just see the place that crafts the beer we enjoy back in Chicago. I think I would've preferred to taste a little more of Arcadia beer, but we were hungry...and, well, ya gotta eat!
Taking a Dark (Horse) Turn
After unwisely stuffing ourselves at Arcadia, we snaked through downtown Battle Creek back to I-94 to visit the Dark Horse Brewery Tap Room. I was pretty geared up about this place. Reading up about it online it seemed like a pretty rough and tumble place. A bit of a biker-inspired joint. Sure enough, this brewery "complex" included a Wacky Shack liquor store in front, a tattoo parlor and general store off to the side, and then of course, the brewery tap room. This was no fancy affair. The Tap Room, attached to the Wacky Shack, was itself a shack. A rockin' shack. Yeah, you might be thinking of that B-52s song by now, but this was no "Love Shack" but a raucous hard drinkin' kinda place (without the hard liquor.) Everybody was drinking beer and just Dark Horse beer. I didn't see anyone drinking anything else other than beer -- not even water. I was happy that so many people in Marshall we're so enthusiastically supporting their local brewery. We seemed to arrive at Dark Horse at the height of the festivities. There was much conviviality in the small room, with hundreds of rather artistic mugs dangling from the ceiling and the walls. It's a bit hard to describe. I saw a picture of the place on the Internet and it seemed completely different than the picture when I was there. Perhaps it was because the place was full of drunks. Nah, that's not fair, there were only a few drunks and they seemed to have friends to take them home who were highly tolerant of their lack of sobriety.
The last thing I needed at Dark Horse was food (after stuffing ourselves at Arcadia), but there in black and white on a chalkboard hanging over the bar were the words: House Smoked Cashews. At four bucks, I couldn't resist. What better accompaniment for the Oatmeal Stout that the friendly bartender was pouring for me. The stout went down pretty smooth and was followed by a Crooked Tree IPA which took forever to drink. I feel like I'm still drinking it now, and I am, but it's a bottle I've picked up since my visit. My bottle of this beer that I sip as I write this is going down much smoother than it was at the Dark Horse Tap Room. It even seems a bit lackluster. Hopheads shouldn't judge Crooked Tree until they've had it at the source. A buzz saw of fresh hops sliced across my palate with each sip of this beer. On the other end of the spectrum, was the Perkulator Dopplebock which Ryan, my partner in wandering through Wolverine-state beer culture, was very content sipping. I've never thought of adding coffee to a a bock beer, but it's a great mix of flavors.
The atmosphere at Dark Horse was lively, but also insular. We didn't make any friends as the patrons seemed consumed in their own drinking and in their own cliques. The staff was friendly though, so we didn't feel totally lost. Also, contact with others in the Dark Horse Tap Room can't be avoided: a couple times I ended up volunteering to grab someone's mug hanging from the ceiling instead of them trying to reach over me. This small act of helping someone find their mug made me feel at least a little bit like a regular. The mug club and its members is a pervading theme of Dark Horse that makes it unique. I'm told that people sometimes leave each other message in the mugs like little ceramic mailboxes. I also liked the cozy settlement-like nature of the brewery complex complete with general store (selling Dark Horse merchandise and homebrewing supplies), which was unfortunately closed when we were there. We did stop in the Wacky Shack, but the prices seemed a little steep. The beer garden looked fantastic, too, but it was a bit cold (snow flakes flying) for that when we were there. Also, there is a more expanded food menu than just House Smoked Cashews. I just love nuts.

Police gets custody of Asaram's aide
Muzaffarnagar Aug 12: A court here today granted custody of Niraj Kumar, a close aide of Asaram, to police in connection with a murder case.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Grima Choudhry allowed police to take Kumar, lodged in Deoband jail, in their custody tomorrow in connection with Akhil Gupta murder case.
Asaram's aide will remain in police custody between 8 AM and 8 PM during which they would take his help for recovering arms and other items allegedly used in the murder of Gupta, a witness in the rape case against Asaram.
According to senior prosecuter D C Shrivastava, police had yesterday sought custody of Kumar to recover arms and other items allegedly provided to the shooter Kartik Haldar, who was arrested by the STF of Gujarat in March.
Kumar was arrested in Saharanpur district in July. 35-year-old Gupta was shot at by unidentified persons on January 11 last year. Subsequently, he was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him brought dead.
He was a cook and personal aide of Asaram who has been in jail since August 2013 for allegedly sexually assaulting a 16-year-old schoolgirl.

Recently a group consisting of 39 students and 3 teachers coming from Norin Daigaku at Shizuoka in Japan payed our college a visit. This Japanese school and Wellantcollege have had a relationship for many years. The International Office at Wellant took care of the diverse programme, paying attention to sustainability, and different aspects of agriculture and horticulture.
The Japanese students took a field trip to a number of modern Dutch companies such as dairy farm, a fruit farm, a tree nursery in Boskoop and a few greenhouse cultivation farms. Moreover they gained a comprehensive picture of the green educational field in the Netherlands.
Wellant Aalsmeer invited the students and staff for a day programme in school and showed them some green (land-based) companies that play an important role during the education of our students, demonstrating the close relationship between Dutch vocational education and the world of work.
Of course cultural activities were also added to the educational experience.
Developments in Japan
The Japanese agribusiness in general consists of smaller and less advanced companies. Reformation of the green industry lies at the heart of the Japanese strategy of growth. Especially since the tsunami in 2011, Japan has decided more and more in favour of smart agriculture and indoor farming. Core principles are power consumption, quality of products, food safety and labour efficiency. So Japanese schools are quite interested in the Dutch way of producing food.

New Haven launches project to connect Orange Street across Route 34
NEW HAVEN — The next step in connecting the southwestern part of the city with downtown, a project that will bring Orange Street across what is now a multilane highway, was officially launched Monday.
Phase 2 of Downtown Crossing, which will take two years to complete, will bring 10 acres of vacant land and roadway back onto the tax rolls and create hundreds of construction jobs, with more jobs to come once the area is opened to mixed-use development, including retail, residential, commercial and open space, city officials said.
With nowhere to expand, Mayor Toni Harp said, "New Haven is adding to its footprint from within, without encroaching on neighbors, without displacing residents, and without any destruction or demolition."
The project, which with Phase 3 will cost $53.5 million, will improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as connecting the Hill section and Union Station to downtown, as was the case 60 years ago.
"When it's finished, we will correct a mistake that was made in cutting off downtown from our communities," said U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-3, while bringing "opportunities for cutting-edge research like we're doing at Alexion" and adding small businesses.
The project "relieves congestion, improves traffic flow, addresses flooding," she said.
The 14-story Alexion building at 100 College St. was part of Downtown Crossing's Phase 1, which in 2016 turned more of the highway into urban streetscape. The Alexion building also brought 600 jobs to the city, officials said.
Originally named the Oak Street Connector, for the neighborhood that included "over 800 families that were displaced," according to acting city Economic Development Administrator Michael Piscitelli, Route 34 was officially named the Richard C. Lee Highway for the mayor that created it.
The limited-access highway was intended to turn what Lee described as a slum into a modern thoroughfare from Interstates 95 and 91 to the western parts of the city. But the highway was curtailed before it got very far out of downtown, leaving more than a half mile of city blocks vacant for decades.
Speaking where South Orange Street meets North Frontage Road, abutting Route 34, Piscitelli said, "This is actually the very heart of the historic New Haven. The water was very close to here." The Knights of Columbus building loomed overhead while the parking lot that was once the site of the New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum lay nearby.
Piscitelli called the project "the next phase of civic vision and civic milestone" and said Spinnaker Real Estate Partners of Norwalk and the Fieber Group of New Canaan will present plans this fall to the city and the Hill South, Hill North and Downtown/Wooster Square community management teams. The project will be complete in summer 2021.
Harp thanked the many federal, state and city staff members who brought the project to the point where officials could toss dirt into the air with gold-colored shovels. Representatives of U.S. Sen. Christopher Murphy, D-Conn., and Gov. Ned Lamont also spoke.
"We'll celebrate for the next 30 to 45 minutes what amount to thousands of work-hours that have been put into this project over the past several years," Harp said. "And then just like that, Downtown Crossing Phase 2 will be underway and, with it, the next chapter of progress in New Haven."
Phase 2 will include the first protected bike lane in the state, according to Doug Hausladen, director of the city Department of Transportation, Traffic and Parking. Such a lane "puts the cyclist behind the curb for additional safety benefits as they cross the intersection," he said.
In two years, "you'll be able to walk or take a bike to the train station safely," Hausladen said.
The third phase, scheduled to begin once Phase 2 is finished, will connect Temple Street to Congress Avenue via a bridge and complete the connection of downtown with the Hill, the Yale School of Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital. It will make two parcels totaling 2.86 acres available for development.
Downtown Crossing began with a $16 million TIGER II grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation in 2010. A $20 million TIGER grant followed in 2016. The state Department of Economic and Community Development has contributed $21.5 million. The city's share is $19 million.
Amy Jackson-Grove of the Federal Highway Administration said the federal grant program "makes sure there is reliable, safe, affordable transportation," seeks to "improve quality of life by increasing transportation choices" and "contributes to the economic competitiveness" of the region.
"The program is also looking for innovations and collaboration," Jackson-Grove said. Downtown Crossing "embodies that message," she said.

- Transport minister Jo Johnson resigns over Theresa May's handling of Brexit.
- Johnson says he will vote against May's deal and calls for a second EU referendum.
- His departure spells trouble for the prime minister's hopes of getting her deal through parliament.
- Johnson is the 18th minister to resign from May's government since the general election.
LONDON — Jo Johnson has resigned as Theresa May's Transport Minister over her handling of Brexit talks and declared his support for another referendum on leaving the European Union.
Johnson announced on Friday that he was quitting the government because Britain was "barrelling towards an incoherent Brexit" and claimed "what is now being proposed won't be anything like what was promised two years ago."
The MP for Orpington added: "To present the nation with a choice between two deeply unattractive outcomes, vassalage and chaos, is a failure of British statecraft on a scale unseen since the Suez crisis."
In an article published online, Johnson backed his brother Boris, who also quit the government earlier this year in protest against May's handling of Brexit negotiations.
"My brother Boris, who led the leave campaign, is as unhappy with the Government's proposals as I am," he said.
"Indeed he recently observed that the proposed arrangements were 'substantially worse than staying in the EU.' On that he is unquestionably right."
Johnson became the latest Conservative MP to declare support for another Brexit referendum, writing that the prime minister should "go back to the people" on Brexit.
"I reject this false choice between the PM's deal and 'no deal' chaos," he wrote.
"On this most crucial of questions, I believe it is entirely right to go back to the people and ask them to confirm their decision to leave the EU and, if they choose to do that, to give them the final say on whether we leave with the Prime Minister's deal or without it."
"To do anything less will do grave damage to our democracy."
A senior source in the People's Vote campaign told Business Insider last week that up to three Conservative MPs would declare support for another referendum this month. Tory MPs Anna Soubry, Sarah Wollaston, Justine Greening, Philip Lee and Guto Bebb are already supporters of the campaign for another Brexit referendum.
"My loyalty to my party is undimmed," Johnson added.
"I have never rebelled on any issue before now. But my duty to my constituents and our great nation has forced me to act. I have today written to the Prime Minister asking her to accept my resignation from the Government. It is now my intention to vote against this Withdrawal Agreement."
Labour accused May of losing her grip on power.
"Jo Johnson is the eighteenth minister to resign from Theresa May's government. She has lost all authority and is incapable of negotiating a Brexit deal within her own party, let alone with the EU," shadow Brexit minister Jenny Chapman said.
"Theresa May is in office, but not in power."
Johnson is well-respected among Conservative MP where he has been spoken of as a possible future leader.

'It's destroying lives' - Norfolk chef opens up about dark side of TripAdvisor
PUBLISHED: 07:00 13 September 2018 | UPDATED: 15:24 13 September 2018
Adam Livingstone/Woodfordes
A Norfolk chef has spoken out about the dark side of TripAdvisor and the pressure it piles on kitchen staff, warning that it "destroys lives".
Charlie Hodson, who in May opened up about his own battle with mental illness, has warned of the damaging impact of the website, which sees millions of users post largely unmoderated reviews of eateries, accommodation and attractions.
"In the past, if you messed up service or in the kitchen you got told off by the head chef, but that was it forgotten about," he said.
"If there was a second time it might not be forgotten about, you might be out. But today it's just completely different.
"Now, within 35 seconds of someone leaving you can have a review pop up on there and it makes it much worse. You see restaurants get annihilated every day."
The website has been criticised in the past for not requiring any proof from users that they visited the place in question, with some people claiming to have been paid to post reviews.
MORE: OPINION - Good on restaurant owner for hitting back at online critics
Mr Hodson said the website should be better moderated.
"You get people who say they had a lovely meal, give you a generous tip and you go home feeling like you and your team gave an amazing service," he said "You've spoken to them, they've seemed happy but then they annihilate you. I just don't understand it.
"They don't realise the impact it's having on people in the industry's mental health.
"What some people leave on there is killing people in the hospitality world, and that's not a false claim."
He said when the website first began, it was initially welcomed by those in the industry.
"When we first saw TripAdvisor, so many of us thought it would be a really constructive way to see where the best roast lunch is, where the best seafood, where the best sea view is," he said. "But it's just mind-numbing to see the impact it is having.
"It's archaic and it's bullying. Chefs can absolutely handle constructive criticism - the only way they can develop is through constructive criticism - but not through slating someone working there, who can often be a teenager.
MORE: Norfolk hotels and restaurants rate TripAdvisor
"You work 120 hours a week, have your life savings invested in a place and work non-stop to make sure what you put on a plate is the best it can be, and you see personal, spiteful comments at the end of it.
"It destroys lives."
He said those in cities had better protection thanks to passing trade, but that the impact on destination restaurants in more rural areas could be catastrophic.
After he spoke out in May, when he said he was making lifestyle changes to improve his mental health and wellbeing, Mr Hodson said he had been contacted by young chefs and waiting staff about their own struggles, some of which involved the impact of TripAdvisor.
His comments come after a Norwich restaurateur hit back at users who left negative reviews of his restaurant last week, saying his staff were not Italian and criticising him for not having a children's menu.
Mario Luchai, who has owned Trattoria Rustica in Princes Street for 25 years, said at the time he was happy to take feedback - but that diners should share concerns while still in the eatery.

"When things go wrong we put our hands up but if something is wrong you should tell them in the restaurant - don't eat everything then post a negative review online," he said.
It sparked a debate over whether restaurateurs should respond to comments, or ignore them.
On a survey on our website taken by more than 5,000 people, 94pc said they thought owners should be able to defend their business, while 6pc believed the customer was always right.
We contacted TripAdvisor for comment.

Beitreten Kilimanjaro Marathon
Situated south of the equator – in Tanzania – at 5 895 metres, this is Africa's highest mountain and the highest free standing mountain in the world (as it is not part of a mountain range). Huge permanent glaciers flow down from the summit, and the sheer presence of this huge mountain dominates the entire area. An icon in Africa, "Kili " as she is affectionately known, is one of the sights every person should see at least once in his or her life.Every year, at the end of February/beginning March, a standard 42.2 km marathon, a 21.1 km half marathon and a 5 km fun run will be held in the town of Moshi, Tanzania.
This race has been set up to promote the sport in Tanzania, and has the official backing of the Tanzania Tourist Board, the Tanzania Amateur Athletics Association, the IAAF, and is registered with AIMS. As a fully registered IAAF race, the marathon has official marshalling, time-keeping and refreshment points at regular intervals. It may be used as a qualifier for Comrades. The race is run under the watchful eye of Mount Kilimanjaro, with the altitude gain being quite manageable and with the entire race being completed between 830 and 1150m asl, on good tarred roads. Kilimanjaro Marathon is hosted by the city of Moshi, Tanzania. Enthusiastic local crowd support cheers you along the route, and the social runners amongst you may even stop for a cold 'Kili' beer along the way!
Strecken Highlights
The route passes through many small-holder farms, villages, sections of Moshi town (which is very quiet on a Sunday morning!), banana and coffee plantations and patches of forest, providing great excitement to the residents who give ample vocal support. The atmosphere in the stadium is electric with local bands playing, entertainment, crowds of local enthusiasts to cheer the runners, and lots of food and drink for sale.
Travel arrangements and packages to access the race are being provided by Wild Frontiers, the official tour operator, a Tanzanian inbound operator with its head office in South Africa, as well as operations in Uganda. Wild Frontiers is highly experienced in travel to Tanzania and are members of TATO (Tanzania Tour Operators).
The race is completely backed up, and manned by local organisations. Crowd control and traffic control are provided for, as is medical assistance and communications.
Official timekeeping is arranged, as is an official prize giving and function attended by local dignitaries.
From the stadium, the route is a fairly flat 10 out on the road to Dar es Salaam, returning on the same road back past the stadium gate – the Full is now 30 minutes behind the half, on the same route.
The second half of the race is the half marathon, described below.
Starts 0700, outside of the college gate, and turns north, towards the mountain. Uphill, about 250 altitude gain in 8 km.
At about 8 km, the route follows a dirt road for about 2 km, though some farms and schools, before joining Lema Road, and the long downhill back to the stadium.
Note – there are water points – some with Coke – and sponge points amply supplied along this route.
Will be approximately 5km in length. The 5km race is not timed.

Wood Turtle - Glyptemys insculpta
Wood turtles are a striking species, especially when an individual displays as much yellow on the carapace as this big guy. This particular male is one I've seen before, the last time being in November of 2010. He's one of two males in this stretch of the river that are considerably older and larger than the others, and he seems to patrol up and down at least a 400-500 yards of the river corridor.
Same male in Nobember 2010
After radio tracking this species for the past two summers in New Jersey, I've been able to gain a much better understanding of movement patterns and home ranges between males and females. Females seem to wander far greater distances from the stream corridor than males do, especially during nesting season. They also typically spend much of their summer away from the stream in woodlands, pastures, and fields where they forage on mushrooms, slugs, worms, and berries. Males do wander out of the river, but they never seem to move far away from the river itself, usually remaining within one hundred yards of the river itself. However, they move far distances up and down the corridor where they search for mates or other competing males. It's interesting seeing these patterns, even without telemetry. When I saw this male in 2010, he was at least 300 yards further upstream than he was when I found him on this particular afternoon. It was nice to see a familiar face and wish this big fella all the best in the coming winter months.

Are you up for a Challenge?
We've all heard that December can be a real dud. Sellers often take their houses off the market for "the holidays", thinking it will just be too much hassle to have people traipsing through their home on Christmas Eve (the nerve!), despite the fact that those buyers who are shopping are usually in a pretty good position to be doing so. Studies show that these buyers are more serious, are pre-qualified, and have a timeline they are pretty strict about.
But it's not always easy to find them. And you can't force your sellers to keep their home on the market.
So where is your business going to be come January? Enter the Challenge.
December has 31 days- yes, including Hanukkah, Christmas Eve and Day, and New Year's Eve. And probably some other holidays I haven't thought of.
For the month of December, I CHALLENGE you to do 31 things to further your business. One per day. Every day. (you didn't think I'd let you skip the holidays did you?)
This might be a blog post, facebook note, tweet, text, phone call or email. It could be a newsletter, event, or postcard. You get the idea!
The idea is that you will do something every day to further your business. Come 2011, you will be WAY ahead of your competition, and poised to take the New Year by storm.
Who's with me? (If there is a lot of interest, maybe AR will BONUS us POINTS!) Let me know how you are doing, I cannot wait to share our ideas, successes, setbacks and triumphs.
Hey everyone! I just created a group called "31 Days of December Challenge". Please join the group so we can all keep track of those fantastic ideas and ways of building our December and beyond! Can't wait to see your posts- please post at least 5 times a week. I am still awaiting word on whether we will get bonus points.
***update*** OK, WE'VE GOT THE GREEN LIGHT! A few ground rules:
- Do SOMETHING everyday! It can be as big as a mass mailing, or as little as a text to a client or prospect. Just DO SOMETHING!
- Join 31 Days of December Challenge Group and Post what you have done. It's ok if you skip a day or two of POSTING, as long as you are staying true to the Challenge. When you post, just list what you have done!
- Please post at least FIVE TIMES a week! This way if you are traveling you can have a day of posting grace, but you'd better get right back out there!
- IF YOU DIDN'T START DEC 1 YOU STILL HAVE TIME!!!! Did you do something for your business yesterday? Post it along with what you did today!
- Email Kerrie when you have completed it. She's the deciding vote, so BE SURE TO KEEP POSTING :)
