![]() ![]() Now, if you’ve booked through an online travel agency and need help from an airline all hope isn’t lost – but the airline may charge you a fee to ‘take over the ticket’ and that fee can be as much as $100. “ Debbie who is in resolutions department is no help and that lady should lose her job how she talks to people. If you didn’t book directly with the airline, and the airline had to pay a commission on the sale, they aren’t going to help out in advance most of the time (day of travel at the airport is a different I waited over 2 hours for them to tell me that I had to call Priceline, after I spoke to the customer service rep at price line to call American. Agencies are expected to service their own bookings. But the airline will say wait – this is an agency-booked ticket. The online travel agency may tell you to call the airline. Never believe you’ll actually get a promised call back. You may get put on hold again, or transferred, and have to start all over with your story. Once you finally get through to someone at the booking site, they may not understand your issue or how to fix it. Customer service is often outsourced, agents aren’t empowered, and wait times can be long. They spend a lot on advertising to get consumer eyeballs, and then try to service those eyeballs as inexpensively as possible. Generally speaking online travel agencies make money by automating the booking process. There’s Someone Standing Between You And Getting Help When Things Go Wrong Just got off a 45 minute call with and was told that my flight on that I paid a premium for was rebooked with a connecting flight and I will not get refund because of policy. Department of Transportation is clear that when airlines cancel flights, customers are due refunds for those flights – and that DOT refund rules apply to online travel agencies, not just airlines. The ‘OTAs’ wanted you to keep flight credits so they could keep their commissions. During the pandemic online travel agency sites became well-known for refusing to refund tickets for cancelled flights even when the airlines were willing to issue a refund. They might also refuse to refund a ticket when you’re entitled to a refund under fare rules. You might be entitled to a free change under airline rules, but the site you’ve booked through may charge you a service fee to make that change. When you book through an online travel agency, the agency may impose fees for changes on top of what the airline may charge. ![]() Online Travel Agencies Have Their Own Rules, That May Be More Stringent Than An Airline’s Two recent passenger tweets to American Airlines illustrate why. Instead, find the flights you want and then go straight to the airline to buy your ticket. While it can be useful for the average consumer to search flights with Expedia or the like, it’s not actually a good idea to buy travel from them unless they are able to construct complicated itineraries at a lower price than booking directly. Those sites didn’t limit you to booking flights on a single airline or its partners. Priceline was in part owned by its participating airlines as well. Orbitz, now owned by Expedia, actually began as a competitor owned by the airlines. They find the schedule and price they’re looking for, and then book what looks best. ![]() Most people use sites like Expedia or Kayak to compare options because they don’t start off knowing they want to fly American Airlines or United. I thought Google, with its ability to know a consumer’s habits and searches, would step into the breach through AI but that hasn’t happened. There’s a huge opportunity to improve the online booking experience and nobody has really done it. Something was lost in the process – expert guidance on what flights are best to book for reliability, like whether a one hour connection in Chicago during the winter is advisable or whether to take the last flight of the day. It largely took people (agents) out of the middle. When travel booking went online that put a lot of information in the hands of consumers and reduced the cost of booking tickets. ![]()

"The Kremlin often claimed it had the second-strongest military in the world, and many believed it. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, speaking in Helsinki, Finland, on Friday, June 2, said Russia’s war against Ukraine had exposed massive shortcomings in its military and had diminished Russia’s power and influence “for years to come.”Blinken made the remarks at Helsinki City Hall during what was the first visit of a US secretary of state to Finland since its accession to NATO on April 4.In the speech, Blinken discussed the international response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Finland’s subsequent decision to join NATO, and yearslong efforts by Russian President Vladimir Putin to weaken Western alliances and position Russia as a “global economic power” – efforts Blinken said had been a “strategic failure.”“President Putin spent two decades trying to build Russia’s military into a modern force, with cutting-edge weaponry, streamlined command, and well-trained, well-equipped soldiers,” Blinken said.

It's made my life much easier in editing the TUAW Talkcast, and if you have any hand in producing spoken-word audio it might do the same for you. Drop a file on it, wait an appropriate amount of time and watch the blinking lights, then take your output file and continue on your merry way the final file will simply sound way better than the original did. The really nice thing about The Levelator - and this is an odd thing to say about a Mac application - is that it has, for all practical purposes, no controls. While many audio apps have normalization or 'leveling' functions, in my admittedly amateur audio experience I haven't heard anything like The Levelator those with more savvy in this area tell me that the output is akin to what you would get with a human engineer 'riding the meters' to adjust the sound dynamically as it varies. The file is leveled to a uniform loudness level, even if varying parts are recorded with different microphones, audio settings, or even in diverse corners of the world (if you've ever tried to record a podcast over Skype, you know what I'm talking about).

I have no taxes in Jefferson.’” (Faulkner, 80). As the story continues in this same scene, the men tell Emily that she must pay the taxes to the city, to what she answers “’See Colonel Sartoris. This description, once again, indicates that this house has been not accessed for many years. The furniture in the inside of the house is described with “leather was cracked and when they sat down, a faint dust rose sluggishly about their thighs, spinning with slow motes in the single sun-ray” (Faulkner, 79). The narrator later becomes somewhat omniscient as she is able to tell the story inside the Greirson household when the tax collectors come to collect some taxes that her father never paid. The description “It was a big, squarish frame house that had once been white, decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled balconies in the heavily lightsome style of the seventies, set on what had once been our most select street” (Faulkner, 79) lets the reader know that the Greirson family is of wealth, though Emily died alone in this big house. She then goes on to describe the house in the once upscale neighborhood but now full of cotton gins and such. The narrator explains that no one, with the exception of Emily’s servant, has gone in the house for over a decade since her father died. ![]() Part one of “A Rose for Emily” tells about Emily’s funeral. ![]() The story is told from the point of view of one of the neighbors, possibly a female with a gossipy tone and feel.

How can a rich, poised woman be guilty of killing her future husband? Maybe she was not so poised after all, maybe it was an accident, or maybe she was mentally unstable. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please click the E-Verify link below for more information.

A well-constructed home provides protection from predators, shelter from the elements, and thermoregulation, allowing a creature to create an ideal environment that protects it and its offspring from the vagaries of the outside world. Woodrats might build some of the most remarkable mammal nests in the region, but they’re definitely not unique. Housing is even a problem in this part of the Bay Area! The general presumption among naturalists is that woodrat offspring inherit the nests of their parents, adding on to them over time. Because of their size, the nests make great habitat for other animals, especially the California mouse-so a woodrat could complain about having a mouse problem!-plus salamanders, frogs, lizards, and even snakes. Some woodrat nests are over 60 years old, passed down through the generations. No messing around for these rats they are monogamous, at least for the time it takes to raise a brood. During the winter and spring breeding season, male woodrats move through these nests searching for females in heat. You might find anywhere from 10 to 100 other nests in close proximity, since woodrats thrive in extended colonies of related females. Nearly every coast live oak forest or willow thicket hosts a few nests. Woodrat nests are especially easy to find in the winter, after the understory shrubs have dropped their leaves. Why someone missed gum wrappers is unclear to me. (They are especially attracted to shiny objects…again like my mother-in-law.) Folks living near these critters have reported missing shoes, lace curtains, crackers, soap, wallpaper, and even gum wrappers. And often when they are carrying an item and encounter another prize they consider more enticing, they’ll put down what they’re carrying and abscond with the new treasure-hence the other common name, trade rat. Woodrats are sometimes called pack rats because they love to collect and store various kinds of junk, much like my former mother-in-law did. ![]() Goldilocks with whiskers! A dusky-footed woodrat emerges from its hole. But they also need to keep their fur dry for good health. They don’t like light (not even moonlight) and so prefer densely shaded areas, especially near water. Like us humans, woodrats have very particular requirements for their homes. If you’re a hiker, it’s hard not to notice their strikingly large nests, which can be three to six feet high, up to eight feet across-approaching the size of a Volkswagen bug or my stack of unread New Yorkers-and often built right on the ground. It’s also extremely cute, with big Mickey Mouse ears and a lovely, lightly fuzzy tail. ![]() Our local species, the dusky-footed woodrat ( Neotoma fuscipes), has a nice multicolor coat-unlike the nasty nonnative Norway and black rats, all too common in urban areas. Woodrats, pack rats, and trade rats are all common names for the same remarkable rodent genus, Neotoma. ![]() ![]() You should see the following: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools Verify that you've successfully installed Xcode Command Line Tools: $ xcode-select -p You'll see a confirmation message when installation is complete.

On tiptoe Etta Scollo and her musicians have come at a moderate technical equipment over the threshold and have been able to absorb in this environment, what Consolo himself described in a confidential and sensitive moment as one of his most intimate and dearest to him texts within his literary oeuvre.
