Last night Ajax beat Dinamo Zagreb by 2- 1 for the Europa UEFA League and 4 HES Amsterdam students were there to enjoy the game. These lucky students won their tickets by playing Nintendo Wii at the HES Atrium last week.
The match
Ajax had to win in order to assure the first position in the group and eventually easily qualify to the knock-out round. Dinamo Zagreb seriously sucked big times. The croatian team didn’t really attack and just focus on surviving throughout the game. Ajax attacked since the first minute of the game and Suarez as usual provoked a penalty which made him score the first goal already in the 3rd minute of the game. Good chances had Ajax but the supporters had to wait until the 80th minute to celebrate again. As always, Suarez assisted Rommedahl who just had to push the ball to the bottom of the goal. In the last minute, Dinamo scored but it only matters for the statistics…
If you want to come to the next Ajax game, pay attention to the Babylonix emails, our posters around the school and most important participate in our activities.
What’s this? For those HES students which spent already a couple of year at HES, this was the old log of the HES, but like 5 years ago…. still hanging there, nobody ever bothered to changed it but there were really strong discussion about merging HES with the HvA… anyways.. who cares…
Come to the HES Atrium (1st floor, right next to the book store), we will have a LCD TV and you will be able to play Wii Sport games and the one who score the highest WINS 2 tickets to the game. Don’t forget to leave your phone number or email to one of our BABYLONIX staff and at the end of the afternoon, the winner will be announce in our homepage.
Last Thursday, several classes who follow the Supply-Chain-Management courses, received a guest lecture from a German professor named Harald Gleißner. The Professor, who came all the way down from the Berlin School of Economics and Law, gave us more insight in the basics of Logistics. It began with a brief presentation about the essential factors dealt with related to the supply chain. Once that was finished, the students went to the North-Serre and started their case study. The case was made in groups, and spread trough the whole Serre, everyone was working very eager on their assignments. Once they were finished they had to write a particular assignment on a whiteboard. All the groups came up with a different answer to the same question, which was exactly Mr. Gleißners idea. All the groups drew their vision of a supply chain from the company belonging to the case. The students started to discuss each others assignments, and they soon saw and understood the essential message which mister Gleißner wanted to give us. In logistics, not every answer that deviates from the basic answer is wrong. With the right idea behind it, it’s never wrong. Of course they already had a solid background due to the lessons in SCM we had from Mr. Draijer. Nevertheless the lecture from the Professor showed the students new perspectives in Logistics and the visit was definitely worth it!

Congratulations to all of those who have run the DAM tot DAM (16km from AmsterDAM until ZaanDAM). This race is organized every year since the last 25 years so this time to celebrate there was a “by night” version where more than 25.000 people participated, it is the biggest sport event of the year (according to RTV-NH).
.
I, Nico, ran for the first time ever the 16,1 km and even though it’s not half marathon, it is still quite long. I trained regularly for the last 2 months so I was ready for it. At the beginning while going through the tunnel everybody had a pretty quick pace and seriously everybody passed me… anyways, later on I realized who trained and who didn’t because everybody seemed to be pretty exited at the beginning but around km 5 there were already people quitting and those who passed me were already exhausted.
I finally made it in 1 hour and 22 minutes, speed average of almost 12km p/h and ended up in position 1997 out of 25.000. Pretty good huh?
On Sunday 20, it was the “day” version where another 35.000 people participated. Of course, as every year, the Kenyans made it to the podium by running the 16km in 50 min and won 5000 euros. Not bad huh? Many companies also participated by representing themselves. UvA and HvA were there too. They invested 20.000 euros in this event (according to FOLIA) and not many students knew about it since until a week ago they were still offering free spots. I went to the official HvA tent in the VIP-Business Loop in Zaandam and I talked around with some runners and there was NOBODY from HES. Lame. Anyways, let’s see if next year they invest a bit more in promotion like buying a banner in this website??? Just saying…
Congrats again to all those HES students that trained and paid the inscription by themselves and enjoyed the biggest running event in Europe (Nu.nl).
I’m doing it next year again, wanna join??
