InflatablePlatform ($295). Mine did not have this, but I think it would be worth adding. It carries up to 300 pounds so you can bring along a friend, a cooler, snorkeling gear, or anything else. Do yoga on it, fall asleep, whatever.
I was drawn to the Schiller S1-C water bike hoping that it would be a lot of fun while also replicating a cycling workout in locations that it would otherwise not be possible. It achieved both of those goals admirably. I was impressed by the thought that went into the design as well as the quality of construction and the overall ease of transport and assembly. I kept looking at it and thinking about what I would have done differently with regard to component selection and, more importantly, design. Honestly, I think they nailed it. Now I just need to talk one of my friends into buying one so I have someone to ride with.
Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) consultants presented three runway rotation options to the Committee, which ultimately chose Option A, essentially the same runway rotation plan that was followed in Fly Quiet Runway Rotation Test 3.
The goals outlined in the Fly Quiet Runway Rotation Plan Goals and Guidelines included: to provide near-term relief, to reduce impacts to the highest impacted communities, and to provide predictability to the extent possible. One of the strategic guidelines outlined in all three of the Fly Quiet Runway Rotation Test Goals and Guidelines was to avoid consecutive community impacts. A motion was made during the meeting to remove the consecutive impact consideration, but this was unanimously voted against.
This meant the only remaining option was Option A, as the other options would have resulted in consecutive community impact. Option A features an 8 week rotation plan with six configurations arranged to alternate each week between parallel and diagonal runways, and also rotating east flow and west flow. Option A estimates operations on parallel runways to be at 74%, with operations on diagonal runways at 26%. These estimates are based on Test 1, 2, and 3 results, and do not take into account future construction/maintenance schedules.
Option B included two parallel runway configurations and one diagonal configuration from Option A, but also incorporated a hybrid model with one parallel and one diagonal runway in each configuration.
Option C was a six week rotation plan with two parallel configurations and one diagonal configuration. Runway usage in both Option B and Option C was estimated at 83% on parallel runways and 17% on diagonal runways. Again, these estimates are based on Test 1, 2, and 3 results, and do not take into account future construction/maintenance schedules.
CDA staff noted that any rotation plan would be impacted by construction scheduled to take place on the diagonal 4/22 Runways. Construction on Runway 4L/22R was initially expected to take place in 2018, but CDA staff stated today that this work would take place in 2019, with construction on 4R/22L planned for 2020.
In addition to Options A, B and C presented by the CDA, the City of Elmhurst presented an additional alternative. The Elmhurst option was similar to Option C that the CDA presented, featuring a six week rotation plan with two parallel and one diagonal configuration.
The test consists of 12 weekly primary and secondary runway configurations that will be rotated over 25 weeks and goes into effect on Wednesday, July 6, 2016. ONCC membership approved the weekly runway rotation plan in May by an overwhelming majority vote.
For each week, a primary runway operating configuration is designated with an alternate configuration designed to accommodate factors such as wind or construction if needed. Each of the 12 weekly runway designations consists of either two runways (one arrival and one departure runway) or one mixed use runway used for both arrivals and departures.
Right now I have a full-on training business in California and an online training site where I post videos of real-time training on real problem horses. This way people can learn what I know from the comfort of their office or lounge.
I really love to see the progress with horses, whether they be really talented reiners or a mentally messed up dressage horse that has totally lost the plot. I like to see them get better, both physically and mentally.
In the reining world, I really admire the guys who can produce the high-end horses who do their job with a smile on their face like Shawn Flarida and Andrea Fappani. I also really admire my friend Martin Larcombe, he is such a natural and things come so effortlessly to him. Outside the reining world, anyone who really takes the nature of the horse into consideration when dealing with them.

The documentary highlighted how horse riders are classified as vulnerable road users alongside pedestrians and cyclists. While the Highway Code provides guidelines for drivers encountering horses, the reality on our rural roads often falls short of these ideals.
Natural remedies for horse skin conditions are gaining popularity among equine enthusiasts. As horse owners seek gentler, more holistic approaches to caring for their equine companions, the power of plants and ethnobotany is coming to the forefront. Let's explore how these natural solutions can benefit our horses and revolutionize the way we approach equine skin health.
Law firms Dentons US and Boies Schiller Flexner are facing a $900 million lawsuit following allegations that they misled a client regarding the enforceability of a contract with Senelec, the state-owned electric power company of Senegal, Reuters reported.
The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court by Massachusetts businessman Frank Corsini and his energy companies, Liberty ECO and Liberty-CITIC. The complaint accused Dentons and Boies Schiller and several of their attorneys of engaging in "wholesale acts of fraud, extortion, obstruction of justice, perjury," among other violations. According to the plaintiffs, these actions were part of a prolonged deception regarding the legal status of a power purchasing agreement negotiated with Senelec in 2012.
The legal dispute escalated when Corsini's companies brought a claim against Senelec before the ICC International Court of Arbitration in 2020, demanding over $250 million in damages for the alleged breach of contract. However, the ICC tribunal determined that the power purchasing agreement was not binding and that Senelec had not breached it, a ruling that undercut the assurances provided by Dentons and Boies Schiller.
The New York complaint also included allegations under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), fraud, and other claims. The plaintiffs are seeking more than $300 million in damages, which would be automatically tripled under RICO, bringing the total claim to approximately $900 million.
Stepping out of the train station, I see a parking lot of cars contrasts the classic architecture that forms each building around the open square. I have been on this adventure as part of my assignment as the dramaturg for BYU's production of Mary Stuart. Now, I'm in Weimar, the place where Friedrich Schiller lived during the most prolific writing section of his lifetime. It feels quaint in this small town, now known for its profound influence on German culture and politics. This was the birthplace of German classicism and romanticism, and place where culture transformed into a world of free thinking and free expression. It was here in 1918 that the political leaders from around Germany joined together to write a new constitution after the dissolution of the monarchy post World War I. Weimar is recognized as the heart of modern, German culture, and this is where I stepped out to discover more about Friedrich Schiller and how it can help the production back in the United States.
Something that Brene Brown said in a recent audio book has made me reflect recently. Maybe the tides are changing. Some of her inspiration in Daring Greatly and other books, comes from a great Theodore Roosevelt quote:
Hearing this put it in perspective for me and made me think a bit differently about my time in Australia and for the plans we have in place for 2018. I can choose comfort or I can choose courage. I am choosing courage. I believe with all my heart that what Warwick is doing is helping horses and people all over the world. He is helping people change their lives. Sure, it might be easier to not put it out there and dare greatly, but then what happens to those horses or people who might need to hear what he is saying?
