Flight Tracker Southwest Flight 1780

There is little reason to be afraid of your fellow passengers on a plane. There have been no reports of super-spreading events on any flights. Just the fact that most people are wearing masks reduces any risk greatly. Total compliance is not necessary for increased safety. As for getting people convinced that it is okay to fly again, do you think that having to wear a mask indicates safety?

People are overwhelmingly innumerate and negatively biased. It is difficult to catch virus unless you spend an extended period of time in close proximity of someone who is sick and sending droplets or aerosol into the air in a space with poor ventilation. Also, people don't talk all that much on planes and talking produces droplets. Unless you are directly adjacent to someone who is sick and constantly coughing without a mask, it is highly unlikely you will get COVID-19 from flying.

You should be far, far more worried of dying in a car crash. This is discouraging for a couple of trips I have planned later in the summer. I have no tolerance for people not wearing masks on a plane. They should be arrested for not following crew instructions, banned from the airline, and plane diverted and offload them. That announcement of what will happen should be made at the boarding gate and by flight attendants on the plane before leaving the gate.

And yes the airlines need to be able to ask for medical documentation if they say they can't wear a mask. Rather than seeing art institutions as primarily a late Victorian phenomenon, this book seeks to explore their development from their origins in the late eighteenth century. In particular, it will reject the view that one particular set of cultural ideas ever came to dominate the public art movement.

This volume will explore art institutions as key elements of the urban public sphere, as agents for social inclusion and, eventually, as cultural democratisation. Although managed largely by a small segment of the urban middle class, art institutions could exercise influence only if they were public bodies, promoting a public purpose. By the 1850s this meant advancing the interests of all classes, through the spread of cultural knowledge and visual literacy. Sometimes this was to be done for narrow instrumental purposes; sometimes a 'higher' objective was postulated. Sometimes this was primarily to serve the civic community, sometimes to advance the self-improving aspirations of the individual. Southwest stops minor from 1 st day of school.

Genius mom booked trip 2 months early on line. Through the journey, customer service reps presented themselves as managers, they researched previous flights, they (john &lori) ORF had no information about me the mom. They come up w/all kinds of crap at the ticket counter. We were offered to reschedule until a fee of 50us could be paid. That's why we booked early to avoid this type of confusion. Consumers like to travel ob the weekends when conveniently no real management works.

Now southwest has merged w another co and they will be so large no one will knoe what the hell is going on. Well we all know how ridiculous flight travel has gotten. When I start flying with Southwest, I have had nothing but great experiences with flights, check-ins, flight attendants/crew, and overall customer service via the 800 number.

In 2011, Southwest paired up with Chase Credit Card to offer their customer, who were approved, a Southwest/Chase Credit Card with 2 FREE Round- Trip Flights. In 2012, I decided it was time to try and take a trip. I called the corporate office of Southwest (via the 800#) and was told that the 2 FREE Round-Trip tickets had expired and in order to have them reinstated, I must write a letter and pay a $50 fee for both tickets . Unfortunately, the letter was never received by Southwest Corporate Office- so essentially, I am out of 2 FREE Round-Trip Flights because Southwest did not receive my letter. Now, Southwest has transferred to a new system and only uses "points" and no longer honors "vouchers".

It saddens me to know that Southwest is losing a lifelong customer over 2 FREE Round-Trip flights. I hope that my attempts online are seen by the correct person so that this may be reconciled. The emergence of a powerful cultural life in industrial towns, such as those in Lancashire, coincided with the rise of the middle class to urban political dominance. This has led some authors to see 'culture' as the outgrowth of an essentially materialist struggle.

This notion of culture, or more specifically 'high culture', is often associated with the capitalist desire to maintain the economic value of specific accumulated assets, such as picture collections. Art institutions often played an important role in this process of promoting specific schools and thus maintaining the value of particular collections. First, a civic institution was a collective effort which emphasised the production of an external, specifically public good – an exhibition, a lecture or a programme of education. This was essential in providing the public justification for, and legitimisation of, art institutions. To limit the benefits of the externality too narrowly damaged both the reputation of the institution and its constituent membership.

This approach neglects the complex cultural preoccupations of the period and fails to engage with the ways in which these preoccupations themselves shaped the category of culture. I am based in NYC and wear my mask when I am out. I also wore my mask throughout my entire round trip flight to and from KY last week.

If people are going to try and police others or shame them, don't fly. Let people be exactly that, people with freedom to do whatever they want. If an FA wants to tell a customer to put their mask on, let them. Otherwise, worry about you or again, don't fly/travel if it's bothersome or concerning. It's only going to get worse as the summer rolls on. Public health officials really shot themselves in the foot by trying to downplay the risks of the virus in the early stages of the pandemic and then obviously politicizing the problem as time went on.

Dr. Fauci said on February 29 that "you don't need to change anything you're doing." This was poor advice. Why in the world would China have placed Wuhan on such a strict lockdown if the virus was not something to worry about? The CDC didn't recommend that everyone wear masks until April 3. Asymptomatic spread of the virus was always known to be a possible risk.

A first case was erroneously reported on January 31. An asymptomatic case with normal chest CT imaging was correctly reported on February 21. Officials clearly knew that asymptomatic spread was possible by the time Dr. Fauci made his statement on the Today show. Why did the CDC wait until April 3 to recommend everyone wear a mask? If it was because officials were worried about protecting supplies for health care workers, that is somewhat understandable, but was it necessary to outright lie about the efficacy of masks before then?

If they recommended using homemade ones then, why couldn't they have made the same recommendation weeks earlier? Why were public health officials so adamantly opposed to them when they were for re-opening the economy but supportive of the much larger and more chaotic ones after George Floyd's death? I never said COVID-19 wasn't a serious illness. I also mentioned that the vulnerable should be protected.

I don't want to kill any grandmas, but try to smear me all you want. If you don't want your grandma to die from COVID-19, tell her to stay at home. I've mentioned in other posts that I started wearing a mask in January.

I've flown about 20 segments and 50,000 miles. I take proper precautions and practice good hygiene. I am merely stating the facts since so many people only pay attention to scary headline numbers and pointing out the failures of the so-called scientists.

Ultimately, people should be allowed to make up their own minds about going out and traveling. Healthy people shouldn't be treated the same as the vulnerable and the economy shouldn't be destroyed on the basis of fear. Do you actually read the papers being reported on or do you just read the headlines and credulous reporting?

I've also looked at papers regarding prevalence of GGOs in other influenzas, namely H1N1, which infected between 700 million and 1.4 billion people globally. GGO prevalence seems to have been much higher than those reported in the recent Scripps paper. Were people on mask patrol and losing their minds over the swine flu? Common sense is sorely lacking and the sensationalizing and flip-flopping by the media and public health officials destroyed any trust the public had in them.

People should have been wearing masks all along, but the experts and officials blew it. Being ordered to stay at home for a threat that is not existential is not freedom. Being ordered to wear a mask for a threat that is not existential is not freedom. This is not to say people shouldn't be wearing masks. I started wearing one when traveling in January.

It is not surprising that many people among an already independent-minded population would end up skeptical of the party line. I have been writing books for years and selling them on from my web site. Now, with the new regulations in place for the usage of computers on board the air crafts, I think I might have a good idea for your fine company. With my books, all are G Rated, give each passenger the opportunity of reading as soon as they board the plane and exit upon landing. Through a simple wifi system on board these books will keep the passengers occupied and relaxed by reading the time away throughout the duration of the flight. My books take from two to four hours to read, which is about the normal time for a domestic flight.

These books would cost the airlines pennies a flight and would be a good advertising campaign. Quantas has been doing this for a few weeks and the passengers like it. I have over forty books for the passengers to choose from and I am writing more.

On Feb 19,2013 I purchased 5 tickets to fly to San Fco. When it was time to make the trip my son was not able to take the trip They told me I would get a credit and I tried to us the credit in December, I was told I could not use it that Oscar had to use it. I explained that I had purchased the tickets not my son. I spoke to a man in customer service and explained the whole thing to him. I had to prove that I paid the tickets with my credit card and the numberof the card I used. I did and he told me that they would make this one time exception.

Oscar Sr would use the credit instead of Oscar Jr. I told him I wanted to use the credit in Dec. to go visit my son in San Fco. He told me I had to wait for the new confirmation number , that I would get a email with the new number. To this day I have not recieved a email from Southwest.

I have called and I have to argue with every person I talk to because I get no where. They claim they sent a email and I ask them to what email address they sent it to and there response is " can you verify your email address. Really if they sent an email why do I have to verify my email to them. To them $236.00 is not alot of money but to me it is.

I have tired to talk to them and I get no where. I think I should get me money back not a credit because I dont plan on traveling any time soon and do not plan on traveling with Southwest. They claim I can not transfer funds to another person, I am not transfering funds, funds used were my in the first place. I brought the ticket for my son because he could not pay for it. As anAlist preferred customer, I fly SW many many times per year. My recent flight DEN/BOI, I experienced the worst customer service The gate attendant, Bobby, pulled me from the boarding line to say my "lunch bag" was too large and I would need to consolidate boarding items.

And I quote "not that bag of lunch sister, you'll need to check your bag'. I gate checked my roll on and made it to the plane. I waited so long I lost my A list and ended up in back of the plane. While waiting for my gate checked bag receipt, Bobby entered the plane, came to my seat then before I could say thank you- she bent down and was in my face stating" you just write that letter!

As I've never written a 'letter' to complain to SW, I am now. For a Customer first airline, this gal was incredibly rude and threatening. No wonder she is grounded off of planes and only a terminal attendant. What an embarrassment for SW with all the troubles you are having. My advise as an attorney- this gal needs to find a new job before she hurts someone physically.

Please respond to me ASAP with your solution to this SW employee's behavior and your recourse. We shouldn't even have to enforce wearing a face mask. Thats just something responsible people and non-knuckle heads should be doing anyway.

There is a reason why all of the asian countries dealt with this pandemic far better than the usa. They were wearing masks since before we call this pandemic a pandemic so they were already protected. There is no reason why cities that are far more densely populated than nyc like Seoul, tokyo, bangkok and manilla should have such a lower rate of incidents than most US cities. And for all those who decided to turn it into a political issue, I get why your life is so terrible because you make terrible life decisions like politicizing masks. I have never said people shouldn't wear masks.

What S Another Word For Storytelling

Storytelling, intertwined with the development of mythologies,predates writing. The earliest forms of storytelling were usually oral, combined with gestures and expressions. ] believe that rock art, in addition to a role in religious rituals, may have served as a form of storytelling for many ancient cultures. The Australian aboriginal people painted symbols which also appear in stories on cave walls as a means of helping the storyteller remember the story.

The story was then told using a combination of oral narrative, music, rock art and dance, which bring understanding and meaning to human existence through the remembrance and enactment of stories. People have used the carved trunks of living trees and ephemeral media to record folktales in pictures or with writing. Complex forms of tattooing may also represent stories, with information about genealogy, affiliation and social status. Because using words to tell stories is so fundamental to our everyday experience,narration, a fancy word for storytelling, is the perfect place to start our composition course in earnest. For many students, a narrative essay, one which requires to writer to tell a story of some sort, is the most comfortable and enjoyable kind of assignment to tackle.

This is especially true if you are interested in creative writing or have aspirations of publishing short stories, screenplays, or novels. In order to approach branding differently, we have to start by letting go of the age-old perspective of the power of stories and storytelling. Don't get me wrong; I am not saying storytelling is never relevant. I am saying that it isn't the only answer when it comes to shaping brands.

Nowadays, digital media and information overload make it very hard for stories to be as compelling as they once were. It is time to get over branded content, and storytelling because 2021 will be all about crafting brand narratives. "But isn't narrative just another word for story," you ask? Well, maybe they are not so similar to what we would think. Here are some different words for storytellers and how they have changed over time. The art of narrative is, by definition, an aesthetic enterprise, and there are a number of artistic elements that typically interact in well-developed stories.

Stories are based on values passed down by older generations to shape the foundation of the community. Storytelling is used as a bridge for knowledge and understanding allowing the values of "self" and "community" to connect and be learned as a whole. Storytelling in the Navajo community for example allows for community values to be learned at different times and places for different learners.

Stories are told from the perspective of other people, animals, or the natural elements of the earth. In this way, children learn to value their place in the world as a person in relation to others. Typically, stories are used as an informal learning tool in Indigenous American communities, and can act as an alternative method for reprimanding children's bad behavior. In this way, stories are non-confrontational, which allows the child to discover for themselves what they did wrong and what they can do to adjust the behavior.

Stories are effective educational tools because listeners become engaged and therefore remember. Storytelling can be seen as a foundation for learning and teaching. While the storylistener is engaged, they are able to imagine new perspectives, inviting a transformative and empathetic experience.

This involves allowing the individual to actively engage in the story as well as observe, listen and participate with minimal guidance. Listening to a storyteller can create lasting personal connections, promote innovative problem solving and foster a shared understanding regarding future ambitions. The listener can then activate knowledge and imagine new possibilities. Together a storyteller and listener can seek best practices and invent new solutions.

Because stories often have multiple layers of meanings, listeners have to listen closely to identify the underlying knowledge in the story. Storytelling is used as a tool to teach children the importance of respect through the practice of listening. As well as connecting children with their environment, through the theme of the stories, and give them more autonomy by using repetitive statements, which improve their learning to learn competence. It is also used to teach children to have respect for all life, value inter-connectedness and always work to overcome adversity. To teach this a Kinesthetic learningstyle would be used, involving the listeners through music, dream interpretation, or dance. Human knowledge is based on stories and the human brain consists of cognitive machinery necessary to understand, remember and tell stories.

Humans are storytelling organisms that both individually and socially, lead storied lives. Stories mirror human thought as humans think in narrative structures and most often remember facts in story form. Facts can be understood as smaller versions of a larger story, thus storytelling can supplement analytical thinking. Because storytelling requires auditory and visual senses from listeners, one can learn to organize their mental representation of a story, recognize structure of language and express his or her thoughts. Storytelling has also been studied as a way to investigate and archive cultural knowledge and values within indigenous American communities.

Iseke's study on the role of storytelling in the Metis community, showed promise in furthering research about the Metis and their shared communal atmosphere during storytelling events. This was a powerful tool for the community to engage and teach new learner shared references for the values and ideologies of the Metis. Through storytelling, the Metis cemented the shared reference of personal or popular stories and folklore, which members of the community can use to share ideologies.

In the future, Iseke noted that Metis elders wished for the stories being told to be used for further research into their culture, as stories were a traditional way to pass down vital knowledge to younger generations. Storytelling is an art form as old as time and has a place in every culture and society. Because stories are a universal language that everyone — regardless of dialect, hometown, or heritage — can understand. Stories stimulate imagination and passion and create a sense of community among listeners and tellers alike. Bovalino is chief storyteller at Avio Aero, a GE Aviation business. His typical day, says Bovalino, is really only 40 percent composing; the rest is seeking out the story.

Those stories run in Avio Aero's About magazine, as well as GE Aviation's The Bike Shop and GE Reports. The latter, like Microsoft's Stories, is oft-cited as content marketing best practice. Storytelling is the cultural practice of sharing stories with others. There are many forms of storytelling—oral, digital, and written—and the medium used is often reflective of the people telling the stories. Each group has specific tales they tell and many serve a purpose such as entertainment, cultural preservation, or instilling moral values. Photography, while also a form of art, is often a part of storytelling, especially in its digital form.

One indication the art of photography has become its own form of storytelling is the phrase "a picture is worth 1,000 words." Capture your students in action with these materials on storytelling and photography. This module discusses the stories we tell to make sense of the world. The importance of storytelling to human existence is explained.

Narration is then introduced as another word for this storytelling, and its connection to other academic writing and description is discussed. Examples are provided of perspective and point-of-view, and the primary components of narrative writing are introduced to help writers begin constructing their own stories. Chronological order, the ordering of events through time, is explained, as is the concept of the flashback, jumping backwards in time. The prewriting strategies of questioning and freewriting are introduced as ways to generate ideas for a narrative. Outlining is emphasized as necessary for the construction of logical, cohesive papers. Finally, the importance of using transitions to connect ideas when composing is discussed.

Storytelling festivals typically feature the work of several storytellers and may include workshops for tellers and others who are interested in the art form or other targeted applications of storytelling. In many ways, the art of storytelling draws upon other art forms such as acting, oral interpretation and Performance Studies. Some people also make a case for different narrative forms being classified as storytelling in the contemporary world. For example, digital storytelling, online and dice-and-paper-based role-playing games.

In traditional role-playing games, storytelling is done by the person who controls the environment and the non-playing fictional characters, and moves the story elements along for the players as they interact with the storyteller. The game is advanced by mainly verbal interactions, with dice roll determining random events in the fictional universe, where the players interact with each other and the storyteller. This type of game has many genres, such as sci-fi and fantasy, as well as alternate-reality worlds based on the current reality, but with different setting and beings such as werewolves, aliens, daemons, or hidden societies.

These oral-based role-playing games were very popular in the 1990s among circles of youth in many countries before computer and console-based online MMORPG's took their place. Despite the prevalence of computer-based MMORPGs, the dice-and-paper RPG still has a dedicated following. In addition to its traditional forms (fairytales, folktales, mythology, legends, fables etc.), it has extended itself to representing history, personal narrative, political commentary and evolving cultural norms.

Contemporary storytelling is also widely used to address educational objectives. New forms of media are creating new ways for people to record, express and consume stories. Tools for asynchronous group communication can provide an environment for individuals to reframe or recast individual stories into group stories. Games and other digital platforms, such as those used in interactive fiction or interactive storytelling, may be used to position the user as a character within a bigger world.

Documentaries, including interactive web documentaries, employ storytelling narrative techniques to communicate information about their topic. Self-revelatory stories, created for their cathartic and therapeutic effect, are growing in their use and application, as in Psychodrama, Drama Therapy and Playback Theatre. Storytelling is also used as a means by which to precipitate psychological and social change in the practice of transformative arts.

Story forms have evolved continually since the days of the shaman. Literary genres from epic poetry to drama to the novel use stories as political or social calls to action. Technological breakthroughs—movable type, movies, radio, television, the internet—have provided new ways of recording, presenting, and disseminating stories. But it isn't special effects or the 0's and 1's of the digital revolution that matter most—it's the oohs and aahs that the storyteller evokes from an audience.

State-of-the-art technology is a great tool for capturing and transmitting words, images, and ideas, but the power of storytelling resides most fundamentally in "state-of-the-heart" technology. A great storyteller never tells a story the same way twice. Instead, she sees what is unique in each storytelling experience and responds fully to what is demanded. A story involving your company should sound different each time.

Whether you tell it to 2,000 customers at a convention, 500 salespeople at a marketing meeting, ten stock analysts in a conference call, or three CEOs over drinks, you should tailor it to the situation. In the case of my pitch to Castro, the story had to seem spontaneous, a natural response to the inspiring historic setting of Marina Hemingway (itself named after one of the twentieth century's great storytellers). And it did, though the information had been gathered in advance. Its organization and delivery were in essence the "premiere" of this particular story. Figuring out why your company exists, and then telling that story to your prospective customers through marketing messages from social media posts, to your blog, to advertisements and videos, is the goal of brand storytelling. Using graphics, videos and imagery to share a story often using qualitative and quantitative data as a reference is what defines visual storytelling.

In the context of a brand whether it is by creating big data visualizations or using graphics that basically re-purpose your existing content, you've got a lot to win by using this technique. In film people often say there are only 7 basic stories, rest are just modifications. A brand story must be able to get the consumers intrigued and make them emotionally involvedand care for the products. As a brand you need to define the emotions or the triggers for your audience.

Once you know the triggers use storytelling techniques inspired from books, films or other media to share your content in a manner that allows people to engage. Here are storytelling techniques from films that you can use to inspire yourself! The success of a brand lays in its abilities to incarnate the collective meaning of a larger community. A way to consider branding is to see it as a set of techniques designed to generate cultural relevance. Of course, story and narrative are cousins, and most of us use these two terms interchangeably, but when it comes to branding, they do fundamentally different work. Instead, they persist and expand over time, continuously unfolding, and shaped and filled in by the audience.

Dashboards create a burden on analytics teams by providing data alone. They do not tell you what it means, or how it can be used. They lack context and purpose, and they aren't easy to share, particularly when information requests come from various internal and external stakeholders. For thousands of years humans have relied on storytelling to convey information, using narrative and visualisations to communicate. In contrast to dashboards, data storytelling combines all of this in a powerful tool that drives action, and gives a new level of ownership to knowledge.

A Nielsen study shows consumers want a more personal connection in the way they gather information since human brains are more engaged by storytelling than by the presentation of facts alone. When reading pure data, only the language parts of the brain work to decode the meaning. But when reading a story, both the language parts and those parts of the brain that would be engaged if the events of the story were actually experienced are activated. When children listen to stories, they periodically vocalize their ongoing attention and accept the extended turn of the storyteller. The emphasis on attentiveness to surrounding events and the importance of oral tradition in indigenous communities teaches children the skill of keen attention. For example, Children of the Tohono O'odham American Indian community who engaged in more cultural practices were able to recall the events in a verbally presented story better than those who did not engage in cultural practices.

Body movements and gestures help to communicate values and keep stories alive for future generations. Elders, parents and grandparents are typically involved in teaching the children the cultural ways, along with history, community values and teachings of the land. During the telling of the story, children may act as participants by asking questions, acting out the story, or telling smaller parts of the story.

Furthermore, stories are not often told in the same manner twice, resulting in many variations of a single myth. This is because narrators may choose to insert new elements into old stories dependent upon the relationship between the storyteller and the audience, making the story correspond to each unique situation. As a filmmaker, I need to understand how stories touch audiences—why one story is an instantly appealing box office success while another fails miserably to connect. I've been fortunate enough to work with some of the world's most talented storytellers—gifted directors, novelists, screenwriters, actors, and other producers—and from them I've gleaned insights into the alchemy of great stories. Make no mistake, a hit movie is still an elusive target, and I've had my share of flops.

But experience has at least provided me with a clear sense of the essential elements of a story and how to tap into its power. It's important to understand how these different elements combine and work together in data storytelling. When narrative is coupled with data, it helps to explain to your audience what's happening in the data and why a particular insight is important. Ample context and commentary are often needed to fully appreciate an insight. When visuals are applied to data, they can enlighten the audience to insights that they wouldn't see without charts or graphs. Many interesting patterns and outliers in the data would remain hidden in the rows and columns of data tables without the help of data visualizations.
