A Bird's Eye View Of Ruaha
By Anwynn Louw –Online Marketing Assistant
Did you know Ruaha National Park is Tanzania's largest national park and, for the most part, completely unknown!
The park is situated in central Tanzania and characterised by diverse landscapes of extraordinary beauty. While game drives and walking safaris are at the top of every safari-goer's to-do list, hot air ballooning is a most certainly an experience that should be added to that list! Rise with the sun and explore the park by air.
It may mean that you'll be getting an extra early start to the day, but we can guarantee you that it is well worth it – here's why:
Upon arrival to the site, you will meet your pilot and guide and witness your balloon being inflated as it's prepared for launch.
Once your balloon is ready for takeoff, a thorough safety briefing is conducted – you are then all set to board and lift off!
The flight usually lasts around one hour in total and the possibilities to witness wildlife and happenings are limitless! There's really not much else to it, hopin and enjoy the ride. Take it all in while you enjoy the magical, serene moments floating slowly above the plains of Africa.
Images & Video: Kristina, Camp Manager Jabali Ridge
If your interests are more inclined towards sightings of larger mammals and big cats, the best time to visit Ruaha National Park is during the sunny dry season, this falls between June and October. As the rivers dry up, more animals congregate around remaining water sources. Of course, the apex predators are never far behind. June is also the Greater kudu breeding season, and so this is a good time to spot males.
The best time for avid birders to visit is during the long rains between February and April, when migrant birds visit the area. The wet season is also when the scenery is most lush and wildflowers are blooming, and the days are at their hottest.
We would love to welcome you to Jabali Ridge and to take part in this incredibly unique experience. Make an enquiry with us below to get your plans started!

Valentine's Day. "Well, 66 this is my 66th Valentine working at the flower shop," Carol Mitchell said. (WKYT) Employees at Carol Lynn Originals and Events worked hard to get those orders out. Meanwhile, the delivery driver mapped out the most efficient route on the busiest day for this flower shop. They've been there done that on this day of love, but there's one woman that has the flower power to push through. "Well, 66 this is my 66th Valentine working at the flower shop," Carol Mitchell said. Mitchell has been working at the shop since 1954. In her time working around the roses, she's seen changes in the floral business. Now, there's competition from the national chain grocery stores and on-line. And from a small business perspective, Valentine's Day can be stressful. "We dread it every year because the lack of additional help on that particular day, a lot of people are working and you have to have extra drivers and extra designers," Mitchell said.

The 'oohs' from the crowd continued with when Feighan announced chef Omar Mitchell would conduct a crab cake demonstration. The chef has had a few restaurants locally, including Table No. 2, a small fine-dining spot on the Avenue of Fashion on Livernois near Seven Mile. "Our team is trained to never say no," said Mitchell about the hospitality model at Table No. 2. "We're all about pleasing our guests." Mitchell, who specializes in steaks and seafood, broke the news at Dish and Design that he has a new restaurant opening as soon as this month. More: Table No. 2 Restaurant to open on the Avenue of Fashion More: Ferndale-based Valentine Distilling Co. commits $500K to sustainability More: Fall is feted at Dish & Design's Homestyle Harvest event "You guys are the first to know about it ... it's called Imaginate," he said, adding that it will be in the Ramada by Wyndham Southfield. "It's going to be social media-driven." The dishes coming out of the kitchen at the new restaurant will make guests want to whip out their phones and share photos with their friends. Popcorn shrimp will be served in a small popcorn machine, the cowboy steak will have a 3-foot fork stuck in it and other outrageous serving apparatuses will be featured. Later in the evening, baker Renea Smith of Cake Crumbs in Southfield discussed ways to save your holiday bakes that go wrong. She suggests taking a cake that maybe didn't go right and crumble it up into a trifle or dehydrate the crumbs for a streusel. She also suggests getting the kids involved to make cake lollipops using crumbled cake, coating them in melted chocolate and decorating with sprinkles or cookie crumbs. For more tips, she invited the audience to check out the baking classes she hosts at her store. Sign up at cakecrumbsonline.com. Beverage director Laura Shortt of Ferndale's Valentine Distilling was on hand with a drink idea for the holiday. She madea three-ingredient cocktail using Valentine's sweet and oak-y Liberator Old Tom Gin, house-made cranberry juice and orange and clove liquor. For the home bartender, she recommends using a mason jar to shake beverages if you don't have a Boston shaker. Those without jiggers can measure with a tablespoon, which equals half an ounce. ... https://www.detroitnews.com/story/life/holiday/2019/12/04/homestyle-dish-design-food-drink-decor-gift-ideas/2589696001/
We've made great strides toward becoming an inclusive community that strives for inclusive excellence," said Senior Vice President for Institutional Affairs and Chief Diversity Officer Joann Mitchell, noting that it's important the University is intentional about strengthening existing diverse partnerships, and creating new ones."Intentionality is a very powerful concept," said Carnaroli, "particularly for an anchor institution like Penn."From the perspective of Britten Magnus, account executive and solutions provider for BTC, a printing and promotions business, what the University's partnership provides is immense for the strength of his father's company."Because it's an anchor institution, you know it's not going anywhere," Magnus said. "It behooves us as a diverse company, in which [Penn] also has a priority to do business with, to work with them and build a relationship because their stability trickles down to us." Gabriella Nemati, of Nature's Gallery Florist, has worked with Penn for a few years, assembling flower arrangements for special events on campus. (Photo: Greg Benson) Gabriella Nemati, of Nature's Gallery Florist, noted how Penn is "really the economic engine of the city." "I think the determination that Penn has to work with minority-owned businesses is making an actual difference in the city," she said. "For us, as a company with several employees, we can give more hours to them, we can support our local neighborhood schools," thanks to the University's support.Nemati has worked with Penn for a few years, assembling flower arrangements for special events on campus. This year's Supplier Diversity Expo, and the Forum that preluded it, was the second she's attended, both experiences she has been thankful for. Chatting with a prospective client, Nemati could be overheard saying, full of gratitude, "We appreciate your business more than I can describe in words."The Expo bustled, with nearly 30 suppliers—varying from those that provide scientific materials to desserts in jars—showcasing their products and services to the Penn community, as well as neighbors and community groups. The goal each year is to raise awareness of the diverse and local resources, and suppliers that are available, and encourage collaboration. Executive Vice President Craig Carnaroli addresses the state of economic inclusion at the University in front of a crowd at the Supplier Diversity Forum, which, every year, takes place before the Expo. (Photo: Greg Benson) "It really heightens our visibility," said Valerie Feola, who was at the Expo representing A. Pomerantz & Company, a furniture supplier owned by Garry Maddox, a former Phillies player and Vietnam veteran. Winfred J. Sanders, president of Neta Scientifics, agreed, adding that the event is also an easy way for suppliers to get "feedback from [Penn's stakeholders] in terms of what their short-term and long-term goals are."Sanders, who runs the laboratory supplies and solutions business with his wife Garnetta Sanders, the compa... https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/intentional-approach-supplier-diversity
Below, three designers talk about making their debut at Chelsea this year.Jody Lidgard, The Montessori Centenary Children's Garden © Harry Mitchell Jody Lidgard spent his childhood scrumping for apples and rhubarb, and stripping his grandparents' rose bushes to make potions from petals: now he has six children of his own, aged between three and 18. "I am the biggest kid you'll ever meet, so designing a garden for children — no brainer!" he says. Speaking a few days before the show, Lidgard sounds surprisingly relaxed, given that deliveries of trees and plants for his show garden are coming thick and fast, and the London weather is proving unpredictable. His Montessori garden includes a wildlife pond, edible living walls and two greenhouses — all packed into a 10m x 10m space: showing how even tiny plots can become productive places where children can learn about plants and nature. Although this is his first Chelsea as a designer, Lidgard has years of experience as a landscape contractor at the show. This year, his firm Bespoke Outdoor Spaces is also managing the building of three other gardens. To achieve this requires outstanding organisational skills. "Where I get a buzz is the logistical planning. My job is to get it to where the campaign begins and we are on the ground at Chelsea," he says. The Montessori Centenary Children's Garden by Jody Lidgard Lidgard uses lots of military metaphors when describing the complex process of getting a Chelsea show garden from a germ of an idea to a finished, flawless space — or what he calls "a drop-dead finish line". This makes sense when you know that before he built gardens for a living, he was in the British armed forces, driving armoured vehicles in the RAF Regiment. His military background means Lidgard has no fears about the practical side of the show, though he is less enthusiastic about the designer's role in promotion and publicity. "Having to go to the press launch, having to rub shoulders, do all the air kissing — it isn't me," he says. He hopes his crossover role will help to highlight the crucial part contractors play in the show. "I don't want to be called a designer; I want to be called a contractor. I am designing, but in my heart I am a landscape contractor, and we are bloody good at what we do in the UK."For now, Lidgard is focused on getting the garden he has designed across that drop-dead finish line. Mention the words "gold medal" and he good-naturedly shuts you down. "I'll have to stop you there — we have a code, like an old pirate code, that we stick to: we never talk about medals," he say... https://www.ft.com/content/e4a286a2-7279-11e9-bf5c-6eeb837566c5
Tyler Kraft Indianapolis Star Published 9:49 AM EDT Sep 6, 2019 In between photos, Zeb Wise bent his head and took a deep breath. The 16-year-old gripped the Driven2SaveLives BC 39 trophy as another wave of family, friends and team members swarmed the stage in the middle of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway dirt track. Then he was back again, smiling with a wreath of red flowers around his neck and a check for $15,000 in hand. This race means more to Wise than most.

This year's judges will be Linda Cromer and Tim France, according to America in Bloom. Cromer has served her community, Greendale, Indiana, in a variety of political positions including planning commissioner, chairwoman of the park board and tree board and housing authority commissioner. She sits on the executive boards and plays an active role in the efforts of several national and state non-profit organizations dedicated to social justice and environmental issues. Cromer, who received a fine arts education at the University of Kansas, learned to love gardening at her grandmother's knee. Owner and operator of a floral shop and greenhouse for over a decade, she has spent the bulk of her professional life traveling as an international representative for a labor organization and has used those travel opportunities to audit design and horticulture classes at a number of universities, and to study the diversity and individuality of public gardens and the communities where they are located. She is past president and active member of the local Garden Club and spearheaded her community's first participation in the America in Bloom Program in 2005. France has been serving as the Coshocton Municipal Court judge since 2006, currently serving his third six-year term. He has been involved with the community in various capacities, including serving on the board for Coshocton Community Housing, which provides homes for people with developmental disabilities. He is president of Coshocton is Blooming, a non-profit board established to participate in America in Bloom. His talent for planting and nurturing flowers began about 20 years ago, when his daughter's junior high track boosters raised money by planting flowers in the 30 downtown planters. The planters were planted in May and were dead by July. He realized that someone needed to take more responsibility, so he hauled water in the back of his truck to keep the plants alive all summer. Still, they were not thriving. The next year, he convinced the local Rotary Club to donate different flowers and the City of Coshocton to allow usage of spigots and city water. He completed the Master Gardener program through the Ohio State University Extension Office. He has personally designed and planted the courthouse and city flowerbeds and helped Coshocton is Blooming obtain planters for every intersection in the city, according to America in Bloom. Finally, he piloted a program to replace the old containers on Main Street to enhance the architecture of the city buildings. The planters have grown from 30 to more than 400, including 96 hanging baskets. To date, more than 250 communities from 45 states have participated in the program and more than 22 million people have been touched by it. Awards will be announced Oct. 3-5 at AIB's National Symposium & Awards Celebration, this year in St. Charles, Illinois.

They're priced by the stem.Afterward, they wrap the bouquet up for you and send you on your way.It's usually set up on Saturday mornings on Wayne Street in downtown Fort Wayne.The business is owned by Emma, but it is really a family affair."At the end of the day, they really help me so much and I really couldn't do it without them, seriously. So, I'm really thankful for my family," Emma proclaimed.The family got the idea when they saw a flower truck in Nashville. They decided to bring the idea back to Fort Wayne.Emma said that it's meant to help her pay for her nursing courses at the University of Saint Francis, but it has another purpose."A lot of people say 'this just makes me so happy,' and that's just really what we want.

Basketball League action between CH Flowers HS and Wise HS in Largo, Maryland. Photos by Chris Thompkins/Prince Georges SentinelAccording to the transfer, he already has two scholarship offers from Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and Rhode Island University with other schools expressing interest. However, Thomas said he does not allow it to get to his head and is focused on finding ways to get to bond his new teammates."I just like to play," said Thomas. "But I try to find a way to bond with the team off the court, like we got group chats, FaceTime each other, and we play video games together. Just the little things like that help. I like my teammates and my coaching staff, they let me hoop and that's all I really have to do."The second half featured much of the same rhythm with Wise taking charge. Frager continued to orchestrate the offense, pushing the ball in transition for easy buckets and made big defensive plays of his end.Meanwhile, Flowers attempted a comeback but Brooks could not convert many of his shots during the second half. Jase Mosley, a rising sophomore for the Jaguars, tried to carry the load with two 3-pointers late in the contest, finishing with 10 points.Unfortunately, the Pumas' lead was too much for their 4A rivals to handle during their summer league encounter.After finishing their first season with Head Coach Lou Wilson with 17 wins, the Pumas will be looking to surpass their third round exit in the state playoffs and become a contender in the 4A division."I think we have the potential to be a real solid ball club," said DeBerry. "I think a lot is going to depend on how we progress from this point going forward. The season is a long way ahead, a lot of things can happen, good or bad but I like where we are right now as a team."
