By popular demand I’ve decided to compile a list of United’s most commonly oversold flights, or more precisely, the flights that (in my experience) require volunteers most often. There’s a big difference, since operational considerations can often play a big part in them needing volunteers. Before I go on, here are a couple of posts I’ve written about volunteering on United in the past: So, you want travel credits? So, you’re at the gate and want to VDB…. As I started to compile the lis

And very very red. I don't call them sun glasses. I call them fun glasses. They're going with me to Lisbon. There were other glasses in the rack. Glasses in which I appeared more attractive, but they won't make my sister smile as broadly as these will. And none of them made me laugh ou

Alan Mathison Turing , OBE, FRS (pronounced /ˈtjʊ(ə)rɪŋ/) (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was a British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and computer scientist. Turing is often considered to be the father of modern computer science. He provided an influential formalisation of the concept of the algorithm and computation with the Turing machine. Of his role in the modern computer, Time Magazine in naming Turing one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century, states: “The fact rem
Now a days, a lot of students are taking BS Nursing, I would like to think that they’re doing this because they tend to follow Florence Nightingale’s footsteps. But, I know they’re not. Everybody knows that the obvious reason for this is that because it’s one of the high paying job today. As far as I have observed, 50% or less of the each batch per year didn’t like the course they are taking. Maybe a force of circumstances push them to take the course. But where do these Nightigale wannabe end

The link would be equipped with state-of-the-art systems for traffic monitoring, emergency support and an automated toll system. An automatic system will identify vehicles going over the 50 kmph limit. MSRDC engineers said cameras
We returned from our annual week at Lair of the Golden Bear to reliable coastal June Gloom . A true child of San Francisco, I feel at home in fog. We had fun during our three trips this month, but it's good to be home. Coincidentally, each trip was a reunion (of sorts) for alum of three universities: MIT, University of Colorado, Boulder and University of California, Berkeley. There is some truth to stereotypes. The three schools draw similar, though subtly different personality types. T
