Project Runway

“Make it work,” exclaims Tim Gunn, host of the hit show Project Runway, while designers scramble to reassemble a runway ready look worthy enough to display before the prestigious judges. I have never experienced the situation of completing a perfect ensemble in less than twenty four hours, but I have felt the pressure of starting from scratch with very little time to “make it work.” Last February, after precisely planning my track training regimen, I injured my leg. Indoor track season was fast approaching, and I was beginning to feel frustrated and defeated.

When the boarding process has finished, the gate agents request for the display above the gate to be turned off and pass onto the dispatcher the final…

The reason why Harrison Ford’s plane crashed has been determined, according to Radar Online, August 5, 2015. The National Transportation Safety Board found the carburetor’s main metering jet was loose. This allowed too much fuel to flow, which led to the loss of power. This vital piece is necessary for the plane to run as it mixes the proper amounts of gas and air of the engines operating speeds. They believe the part loosened over the years stemming from the time when the plane was rebuilt and…

Imagine a plane thirty-six thousand feet in the air about to land in the city of Denver, Colorado. The plane circles the Denver International Airport and the passengers look down at the interestingly shaped runways as the plane is cleared to land. After the smooth landing, the passengers exit the plane to gather their luggage and go about their business in the city. Taking note of the artistic murals on the walls as they walk, passengers move along in a hurry to get where they are going, as they…

very little room for expansion around the airport. A joint airport was also considered between the cities of Rotterdam and The Hague and planning for it began in earnest. But when the Great Depression of 1930 hit the Netherlands, investments for this new airport dried up quickly and this airport never came to fruition (Kaal). In the meanwhile, improvements at Schiphol continued, and a platform for the passengers’ comfort was built. By 1928 it was completed with a tower and terminal building…

North America, at a height of 327 feet (“Fast facts,” n.d.). Conspiracy Theories Denver International Airport has an interesting history, however, it is often overshadowed by the propagated beliefs of conspiracy theorists regarding its construction and existence. At first glance, Denver International gives the impression similar to other contemporary airports, as it contains various amenities to accommodate arriving and departing passengers. However, many conspiracy theorists disagree with…

The airport charges tenants, who are the airlines or concession, for the space used, electricity, gate amenities, landing fees, and runway usage to name a few of the costs for airlines. These charges help to offset the cost of operating the airport and the costs associated with Peterson Air Force Base. Peterson Air Force Base cannot be charged similar expenses, because government cannot charge government. In more technical terms, the charges must be in kind services. Peterson Air Force Base…
