Global Premier® Upgrades are one-way, one-cabin upgrades, confirmable as early as time of ticketing on all United-, United Express®- and Copa Airlines-operated flights systemwide.
Premier members will earn six Global Premier Upgrades upon meeting all qualification requirements of Premier 1K® status. An additional two Global Premier Upgrades will be awarded for each 50,000 Premier qualifying miles or 60 Premier qualifying segments earned thereafter during the same calendar year that Premier 1K was reached.
Learn more about Premier status.
Global Premier Upgrades will be deposited at the time they are earned, and will be valid through the end of the following Premier program year.
Global Premier Upgrades are available on all United-, United Express- and Copa Airlines-operated flights systemwide.
These upgrades can be used on paid, published fares for upgrades from United Economy®, United Business® or United BusinessFirst® to the next higher cabin. Fare classes Z, P, S, T, L, K, G and N may only be upgraded on flights to select regions. See the upgrade regions chart for full details on upgrade eligibility and fare restrictions.
Once the traveler′s ticket has been issued, members can redeem Global Premier Upgrades by viewing the reservation on united.com and selecting the Upgrade Reservation link. Global Premier Upgrades may also be redeemed by calling the United Customer Contact Center.
Global Premier Upgrades may be confirmed as early as time of ticketing or time of request. If upgrade space is not available at the time when the upgrade is requested, members are placed on a waitlist. If the request includes multiple travelers, then priority is based on the highest Premier status on the reservation. The waitlist is cleared automatically by Premier status of the traveler, then fare class, then time of request.* New waitlist requests for Global Premier Upgrades can be made until 24 hours prior to departure.
Learn more about upgrade confirmation priority
If we haven't confirmed your upgrade by the time you check in for your flight, you will be added to the Upgrades list at check-in, so there's nothing that you need to do after submitting your original request. Our upgrade systems process requests until three hours before flight departure, at which point our gate agents will handle all remaining upgrade requests.
Premier members may request an upgrade for any other traveler using a Global Premier Upgrade, even if they are not traveling on the same reservation. In order to sponsor a Global Premier Upgrade for another traveler, the sponsoring member will need to sign in to united.com using their own account, then search for the reservation using the traveling member's confirmation number and last name. The sponsoring member can then redeem the Global Premier Upgrade by selecting the Upgrade Reservation link. Waitlist confirmation priority is based on the Premier status of the traveler. If the request includes multiple travelers, then priority is based on the highest Premier status on the reservation.
Global Premier Upgrades on Lufthansa-operated flights are valid for one-segment, one-cabin upgrades on any multi-cabin international flight operated by Lufthansa. You may request Global Premier Upgrades as early as time of ticketing in order to upgrade from Lufthansa Economy or Business Class to the next higher cabin. Upgrades are subject to availability and valid for paid, published fares only. The following Lufthansa fare classes are not eligible for Global Premier Upgrades: Z, P, V, W, S, T, N, L, K, R, X, I, O, ID, AD and IP. U.S. government fares are also not eligible for electronic Global Premier Upgrades on Lufthansa-operated flights. Please see the terms and conditions below for specific eligibility rules.
Once the ticket with a Lufthansa-operated segment has been issued, requests can be made online through the Global Premier Upgrade on Lufthansa request page. You can make requests beginning 331 days before departure until up to 10 hours before departure.
If you are requesting online, you may request Global Premier Upgrades for up to four people traveling on the same reservation. You will need one Global Premier Upgrade for each traveler. (If the reservation has more than four travelers, you will need to call Lufthansa.) You do not need to be traveling with the passengers to request the upgrades and you can request upgrades for travelers with a different last name than yours. While you can only request upgrades for one segment at a time, you may upgrade more than one eligible segment on the itinerary.
If you are traveling on a Lufthansa-operated codeshare flight** with a United flight number, upgrades may be available and can be requested by calling 1-800-UNITED-1 (1-800-864-8331) within the U.S. and Canada, elsewhere call your local United Customer Contact Center. Please note that certain U.S. government fares are not eligible for electronic Global Premier Upgrade requests on Lufthansa-operated flights. Codeshare flights with another carrier's flight number are also not eligible for an upgrade.
If upgrade space is available at the time of the request and the requester chooses to confirm the upgrade, United will automatically deduct Global Premier Upgrades from the requester's MileagePlus account.
If upgrade space is not available at the time of the request, travelers may have the option to be placed on the Lufthansa upgrade waitlist. United will automatically deduct Global Premier Upgrades from the requester's MileagePlus account when travelers are added to the waitlist. The waitlist will clear automatically as upgrade space becomes available on the flight.
If a waitlisted traveler is confirmed in the higher cabin, the Lufthansa reservation will reflect the upgraded class and United will send a notification to the email address provided at the time of the request. Unconfirmed upgrades will expire from the waitlist 10 hours prior to departure and United will send a notification email. United will also send a notification email if a confirmed upgrade is canceled. Global Premier Upgrades will be automatically re-deposited to the account from which they were withdrawn 24 to 48 hours after the expiration or cancellation. To make any changes to your upgrade or inquire about your reservation, call Lufthansa at 1-800-645-3880 within the U.S. or visit lufthansa.com for local contact information.
As of December 10, 2014, Lufthansa may not accept paper upgrade certificates at some airports. To ensure eligibility for an upgrade, MileagePlus program members should return unused paper certificates to the MileagePlus Service Center by mailing them to the return address printed on the certificate. The Global Premier Upgrades will then be re-deposited into the MileagePlus account from which they were withdrawn. Please note that this process can take several business days, so you will need to mail in your paper certificates well in advance of planned travel. We will re-deposit the certificates with the original expiration date and you can use them to request Global Premier Upgrades online. As of February 1, 2015, airports no longer accept paper certificates; MileagePlus program members can continue to return valid, non-expired, unused certificates for re-deposit after this date.
**Codeshare flights are marketed and sold by one airline, under their own airline code and flight number, but operated by another airline. The operating airline is specified on your reservation. If the airline code listed before the flight number on your reservation is different than the operating airline, then you are traveling on a codeshare flight (for example, Flight UA8826 operated by Lufthansa).
*Fare class structure for Global Premier Upgrades, in priority order, is: J, C, D, Z, P (for upgrades from United Business to United First® or United BusinessFirst to United Global FirstSM on three-cabin aircraft) and Y, B, M, E, U, H, Q, V, W, S, T, L, K, G, N (for upgrades from United Economy to the next higher class of service on all aircraft). Note that on some flights, Global Premier Upgrades are not available for fare classes Z, P, S, T, L, K, G and N.

Kilwa road reconstruction in Dar es Salaam will commence next month, the House heard yesterday.
Reacting to a basic question by Amina Abdulla Amour (Special Seats, CUF), Works deputy minister Dr Harrison Mwakyembe said the government had refused to accept the current road because it wasn't built to acceptable standards.
In her basic question, the MP had wanted to know if reconstruction works for a section of the road from Kurasini to Mbagala Rangi Tatu had been done through Japanese support and if the contractor had already handed the road over to the government.
The deputy minister said construction of the current road was completed in September 30, 2009 and the time for the contractor to oversee the road lapsed in September 30, last year.
Dr Mwakyembe said the government had refused to receive the road from the contractor and it demanded that it should be rebuilt.
"The contractor Kajima Corporation has agreed to reconstruct 5.1 kilometers of the road at its own cost. Consultant engineer Ingerosec has also agreed to supervise the reconstruction at its own cost," said Dr Mwakyembe.
He informed the House that Works Minister and Japanese ambassador to Tanzania had signed the agreement on the Kilwa road reconstruction and released a report on their agreement on January 4 this year.
Meanwhile, the government has said the Kyimo-Ikuti-Luswisi road in Rungwe has been rehabilitated routinely every year since 2007/2008.
Dr Mwakyembe said this when reacting to a basic question by Prof David Mwakyusa, who had wanted to know when the government would repair the road and when the government would upgrade it to the tarmac level.
The deputy minister said the government had set 2,299.6m/- for the purpose since the 2007/08 annual budget.
He said due to financial constraints that the government was facing at the moment; there was no plan to construct the road to the tarmac level.
However, he said that the ministry, through the Tanzania National Roads Agency (Tanroads) in Mbeya would continue to make routine repairs on the road every year.

May 4, 2016
Former Penn State president Graham Spanier says he's not guilty of the cover-up charges he faces in the Jerry Sandusky molestation scandal, and he is accusing the governor of trying to settle a personal score.
Spanier's lawyers issued a statement Thursday responding to charges of perjury, obstruction and child endangerment.
The attorneys say the charges are the result of Gov. Tom Corbett trying to divert attention from the three-year investigation into Sandusky that began when the governor was attorney general.
His lawyers say facts don't support the charges, and claim Corbett is behind what they call a politically motivated frame-up.
Spanier has been placed on paid leave by the university.
Corbett spokesman Kevin Harley says Spanier's statement "sounds like the ranting of a desperate man who just got indicted."

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - Billikens men's basketball coach Rick Majerus has been granted permission to interview with another university to fill its coaching vacancy, Saint Louis University said Wednesday.
Majerus, who is still under contract with SLU for next season, will meet with the athletic department at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
Majerus, who came to Saint Louis University in 2007, helped guide the Billikens to an 2012 NCAA Tournament appearance.
Over a 23-year college coaching career, Majerus has a 479-189 record. His career win total is good for 23rd among active coaches and his .717 winning percentage is 13th. Most impressive is that he's had just one losing season as a head coach.
The Billikens are 93-67 under Rick Majerus.

Flowers are so last year. This Valentine's Day, why not give that special someone a gift you can both enjoy? Namely, bacon.
Image via Business Insider
The editors of Business Insider take Valentine's Day very seriously, and this homemade bouquet of bacon roses proves it. Easy to make with only a few kitchen items – and, of course, juicy strips of bacon – it's a fail-safe last-minute gift idea. (Unless your sweetheart is vegetarian. In which case, sorry.) The only challenge is not eating it all yourself first.
Ready to give it a try? Watch the how-to on Business Insider.

A state police helicopter and several police dogs tracked the suspect to a hotel in Hampton Falls, NH, Fish and Game officials confirmed.
HAMPTON, N.H. (AP) _ New Hampshire Fish and Game officers and the state police have arrested a second suspect they say is involved in an international eel-smuggling operation, driven by a worldwide shortage of eels.
Police arrested one suspect earlier Friday, but a second suspect fled wearing a set of handcuffs on one hand.
A state police helicopter and several police dogs searched the area of U.S. Route 1 in Hampton before tracking the suspect to a hotel in Hampton Falls, Fish and Game officials confirmed.
The investigation began after a Fish and Game officer got a tip that two men suspected in illegally fishing eels off the New Hampshire coast would be in Hampton around 4:30 a.m. Friday.
Immature eels, known as elvers, can fetch $2,000 a pound overseas.

Preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis From Travel
Topic Overview
What is deep vein thrombosis (DVT)?
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in a leg. A DVT is dangerous because the clot can break loose, travel through the bloodstream, and block blood flow to the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Without treatment, this can be deadly.
Why does travel raise your risk of DVT?
Sitting still for 4 or more hours slows down the blood flow in your legs. This makes your blood more likely to clot. And for the next few weeks, your blood clot risk stays higher than normal.
Even if you are healthy and have a low risk of blood clots, a long flight or road trip raises your risk of DVT.
If you already have a risk of blood clots, prolonged sitting raises your risk even more. Things that can already be raising your risk for DVT include a past DVT or pulmonary embolism, a recent surgery or injury, a blood clotting disorder, and cancer. Things that pose a small risk of DVT include pregnancy, taking hormones for birth control, or hormone therapy.
How can you prevent DVT from travel?
During a trip of 4 or more hours:
- Get up and walk around every half hour to an hour. When in a car, stop and walk around every hour or so.
- While you're sitting, raise and lower your toes, keeping your heels on the floor. Then raise and lower your heels, keeping your toes on the floor. Do this every 20 minutes.
- Drink extra fluids. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
- Wear loose-fitting clothes that aren't tight around your waist or your legs.
If you already have a risk of blood clots, talk to your doctor before taking a long trip. Your doctor may want you to wear compression stockings or take blood-thinning medicine.
When to call a doctor
For a few weeks after a long flight or trip, be alert for signs of a blood clot. A DVT needs treatment right away.
Call 911 or other emergency services if you:
- Suddenly have shortness of breath and/or chest pain. Chest pain from a blood clot that travels to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) often gets worse with deep breathing.
- Faint or lose consciousness.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Swelling, warmth, or tenderness in the soft tissues of your leg.
- Pain in your leg that gets worse when you stand or walk. This is especially important if there is also swelling or redness in your leg.

Gerotora (ゲロ寅, Gerotora) is a scroll toad from Mount Myōboku — a rare species that closely guards whatever secret has been written on its scroll-abdomen until its contractor dies. He resides in the belly of his contractor, and is known for his excellent endurance.
Gerotora guards the scroll which acts as the holder of the "key" to the Eight Trigrams Seal located on Naruto Uzumaki's stomach. He was summoned during the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's attack on Konoha by Minato Namikaze, who inscribed the key onto his stomach for safekeeping. Minato left the key to Jiraiya upon his death.[4]
He is a black and orange toad with dark markings around his eyes, mouth and a circular mark just below his mouth. As a scroll toad, his abdomen can extend to reveal a scroll which when concealed, gives him the appearance of wearing an obi.
Part II
Itachi Pursuit Arc
Gerotora débuted when Jiraiya summoned him, so they could discuss the key to the seal left on his abdomen by Minato. Jiraiya wanted the scroll to go to Naruto since he believed that he could die during his upcoming battle. Gerotora angrily refused, believing that Naruto wasn't ready, since during Naruto's training, Jiraiya failed to teach Naruto to filter out the Nine-Tails' will when he tapped into the beast's chakra having used the key to weaken Naruto's seal a little nearly killing Jiraiya in the aftermath. Jiraiya argued that he was given the key's technique design as a sign that Minato had intended for Naruto to complete an unknown technique. Eventually, Gerotora reluctantly agreed as Jiraiya departed. Gerotora was amongst the group of toads that went with Fukasaku to Konoha to bring news of Jiraiya's death. He listened on silently as the elder toad told the shinobi about Jiraiya's passing and Naruto's subsequent outburst.
Confining the Jinchūriki Arc
Gerotora was later summoned by the Great Toad Sage and was told to give Naruto the key to the Eight Trigrams Seal. Gerotora said that he didn't blame Naruto for being hesitant on using the key. When Fukasaku asked him to elaborate, Gerotora explained the details of the seal, as well as the risk of having the Nine-Tails being released if Naruto's willpower wasn't stronger than the Nine-Tails'. Naruto, remembering what had happened when the Nine-Tails took over him, said that he would need the Nine-Tails' chakra in order to fight Sasuke Uchiha, so he then signed the contract. Gerotora proceeded to enter Naruto's belly through his mouth, although it took Fukasaku kicking Gerotora in to get him down Naruto's throat.
- Though he was given an official name in the databook, since chapter 489, he has been called "Gamatora" (ガマ寅), not Gerotora.
- "Gero" is a Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound a frog makes.

I've seen it commonly repeated the object oriented programming is based on modelling the real world, but is it?
It seems to me that is not true of anything outside of the business layer. My GUI classes/data access classes aren't modelling anything in the real world. Even in my business layer I've got classes like observers, managers, factories, etc. which aren't real world objects. I try to design my classes to take advantage of things like encapsulation but is the real world encapsulated?
While some objects I create are modelling real world objects, would not pre-OOP code do the same? I doubt that OO was the first people to include concepts like Customer in their code bases. But OO is really about how to model things, and that method of modelling doesn't seem inspired by the real world to me.
So: does object oriented programming really model the real world?
EDIT: If your going to post yet another answer telling me how awesome OO is, you haven't understood the question. The question is about how we describe OO, not OO's merits.

Fallout Faction Overhaul Project
This article is within the scope of the Fallout Faction Overhaul Project. This project is dedicated to organizing and improving the quality of the various faction pages. For participation, please check the project page.
The United States of America (USA), or simply the United States, was a pre-War federal republic and one of the last surviving economies in the wake of the mid-twenty-first century global energy crisis. Although mostly destroyed in the Great War, it would survive (in spirit) through the many communities established in the wastelands, most notably the New California Republic, which holds many of the same values as the pre-War U.S., and literally succeeded by the Enclave, the remnants of the pre-War government and many scattered fragment bodies of the old Commonwealths.
The American Commonwealths
Prior to the Great War in 2077, the United States of the Fallout universe had an intermediate level of government between the 50 states and the federal government. The nation was divided into 13 commonwealths sometime after World War II ended in 1945, but before the Virgo II mission landed Americans on the Moon in July 1969. The United States flag was changed as well to reflect the new political reality. Accordingly, the new flag depicted fourteen stars―thirteen in a circle to represent the commonwealths and one in the middle to represent the federal government and the nation as a whole.
It was hoped that the new administrative division of the country would help create legislation broad enough to benefit those states with common regional concerns, but narrow enough not to affect those states with dissimilar interests or political cultures, which would help the nation better meet the challenges posed by the Communist threat to American democracy. In reality, it created even more political strife in the American government, as commonwealths typically did everything they could to promote their own interests at the expense of other commonwealths. The thirteen American commonwealths were:
It is unknown whether there were any changes to this system of commonwealths after the annexation of Canada in 2076. It is possible that Canada was under military rule until annexation was finalized (2076). Because of the relatively small size of its population (about one-tenth the size of the U.S.), Canada would have been equal in size to a single, large American commonwealth. Border changes were also possible, e.g. concerning Alaska and the pipelines.
The U.S. Army invaded Mexico in 2051 to annex it, wanting their business interests and oil supply, but a consensus on the goals of the war was never reached.
Federal Government
The pre-War federal government of the United States was not too different from that of 21st-century America in our own universe, albeit significantly less democratic by the mid-21st century. Agencies of the federal government mentioned in the games include two concerned with military affairs: the War Department and the Department of Defense, which may have actually been the same agency or, if they were separate entities, were both responsible for overseeing the development of various military research projects, from HERMES to T-51b power armor.
Other federal agencies mentioned in the games are the Department of Energy (or Water and Power), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Unamerican Activities Force, Secret Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Drugs, Tobacco, Firearms and Lasers and the United States Space Administration. The legislative branch of the federal government was still composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate, though whether they still represented the individual states or now represented the different American commonwealths in some form is unknown.
Armed Forces
Before the Great War, the United States Armed Forces were the overall unified military forces of the United States, composed of the Army, Navy (and its subsidiary Marine Corps), Coast Guard and Air Force. The President of the United States served as the commander-in-chief of the American military, with the Department of War (sometimes called the Department of Defense) acting as the principal organ by which military policy was carried out.
After the Great War, the Enclave Armed Forces are the direct descendant of the American military. The Brotherhood of Steel, on the other hand, was started by former U.S. Army soldiers who rebelled against their unethical orders to protect scientists carrying out involuntary mutational experiments on military prisoners.
The Enclave
Members of the Enclave both embraced the idea of a nuclear war and knew that the common man could not survive it. They believed that as long as the "important people" of the United States survived, they could regroup quickly and wipe out Communism once and for all. Though not technically part of the Enclave, many powerful corporations benefited from the Enclave's actions, and their research facilities were protected during the nuclear firestorm of 2077.
In 2073, as the global race to exploit the handful of remaining fossil-fuel resources reached its fevered peak, the United States managed to stake a claim on the world's last known supply of crude oil, buried thousands of feet beneath the Pacific Ocean. Poseidon Energy, a major American energy company, was contracted to build an oil rig and extract the oil. Before long, the oil ran dry and the oil rig was abandoned by Poseidon.
In 2077, with total nuclear war imminent, the President of the United States and a number of other American government officials left their posts in Washington, D.C. to take refuge in a number of secret and isolated locations around the United States. Among them was the Poseidon Oil Rig off the coast of California. Here, the President himself set up a secret base from which the United States could continue to exist and wage war on China, with the eventual goal of retaking the continental United States from its post-atomic state. From 2077 on, the remnant of the American government surviving on this oil rig started to openly call itself the Enclave. In dialogue with Arcade Gannon, in Fallout: New Vegas, it is revealed that after the Fall of the Oil Rig, the NCR eventually overran Navarro. This caused all Enclave forces in the West to scatter or head to the east. There, the Enclave set up bases in Raven Rock and Adams Air Force Base, unfortunately these bases are both destroyed by the Brotherhood of Steel and unless there are other bases (Chicago is mentioned in the audio logs during ED-E My Love) that are still operating, the Enclave is effectively crippled.
The Enclave mostly continued the pre-War American government, making alterations to fit their smaller size and increase the fluidity of operations. Some new departments that were established after the Great War included the Atomic Energy Commission and the Chemical Corps.
The End of America
Ever since the end of World War II in 1945, the United States in the Fallout universe had sought to become the sole remaining superpower in the world, aiming to control the globe's major energy resources and influence the direction of life in other nations. In the twenty-first century, this trend became even more apparent, because, as the Resource Wars raged between the European Commonwealth and the oil-rich states of the Middle East, as the United Nations disbanded in acrimony, and as the Soviet Union slowly declined, the United States found itself with no real rival on the global scene, except the People's Republic of China, which had become a new rival, though still economically and militarily far behind America at first. However, the energy crisis of the mid-twenty-first century hit the United States harder than expected, coupled with the outbreak of the New Plague in 2053. In 2054, a nuclear exchange in the Middle East prompted the American government to establish Project Safehouse, which was intended to create 122 underground fallout shelters that would save a portion of American society from the ravages of nuclear war or an unstoppable global pandemic. Five years later, in 2059, in order to protect its Alaskan oil interests, the United States established the Anchorage Front Line, to defend its stockpiles of oil from potential invaders.
In 2060, as stockpiles of oil ran dry and the last underground reservoirs of petroleum emptied, the American economy grounded to a halt. People pushed their cars around and the political pressure to research alternative sources of energy increased enormously. To maintain its status as a superpower in spite of the crisis, the United States expanded the size of its military and commissioned a government defense contractor, West Tek to create powered infantry armor, which was intended to replace tanks on the battlefield. This project eventually proved to be the salvation of American industry, and, in the summer of 2066, the first crude nuclear fusion cell was developed as part of this research effort and was then adopted to civilian needs.
This fact, coupled with American unwillingness to share the world's last untapped oil field in the Pacific Ocean with other energy-starved nations prompted China to declare open war against the United States and invade Alaska in 2066, initiating the Sino-American War. The initial Chinese campaign was successful, but soon, Chinese and American soldiers found themselves bogged down in a war of attrition, with both sides unable to gain any sort of meaningful advantage over the other. Even the mighty American T-45d power armor units did not tip the scales, as China's Crimson Dragoon units rampaged behind American lines, disrupting the U.S. Army's logistics and transport.
The United States' northern neighbor, Canada, proved unwilling to accept the increasingly aggressive behavior of the United States as it fought to repel the Chinese invasion. Faced with almost open hostility and the threat of military action, Ottawa relented, allowing American troops and aircraft to pass freely through its territory. This led directly to the annexation of Canada by the United States in 2076.
War and the energy crisis took a toll on American citizens. Together with the development of the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV) being leaked to the mainstream news, the citizens became increasingly restless as the global and national situation deteriorated, throwing the country into turmoil. The U.S. Army was deployed into major American urban centers to contain riots in the year just before the Great War, leading to the American Army firing on its own commanders in certain circumstances.
Post-War America
Despite it all, humanity survived the atomic catastrophe. Even the American federal government managed to survive as the Enclave, the only known remnant of any pre-War government in the Fallout universe.
Surviving American citizens, particularly in what had once been the state of California, soon started rebuilding and eventually established the New California Republic.
The USA will be habitable by 2377, as stated in the Vault 101 PA System
The Flag
The United States of the Fallout timeline, at least since the formation of the thirteen American commonwealths in the mid-twentieth century, uses a flag with either 12 or 13 stars in a circle, with one large central star.
Although Fallout 3s final version of 12 stars surrounding a 13th most closely resembles an obscure flag known as the Cowpens Flag, the flag with a circle of stars referenced by Fallout's opening cinematic is the considerably better known 'Betsy Ross' Flag. A flag with 13 stars and stripes, one for each of the original U.S. states, was mandated by the Second Continental Congress' Flag Resolution of 1777. As states were added to the Union, more stars were successively added to the flag until the flag of 50 stars was created in 1960.
The Cowpens was an American Revolutionary War-era flag used in the Battle of Cowpens, South Carolina in 1781 that resulted in one of the major victories of the young nation over its British mother country. The only difference between the Cowpens and Fallout flags is a much enlarged middle star used on the American flag in the Fallout universe, probably to represent the nation as a whole.
It is debatable whether United States appears in any of the Fallout games. All Fallout games to date have been exclusively on territory formerly governed by the Government of the United States of America but in most cases now either claimed by other groups, or not governed at all.
The Enclave claim to be the continuation of the United States Government but when present their control is limited to the immediate vicinity of their facilities. This group appears in Fallout 2 and Fallout 3.
Newsreel footage of the US Army in action is present in Fallout.
Operation Anchorage contains a military simulation where the user can participate in an (altered) recreation of the US Army's campaign against the Chinese in Alaska.
Behind the scenes
The initial idea of dividing the country into thirteen zones came from Leonard Boyarsky during the development of Fallout. In Fallout Bible 8, Tim Cain reported that Leon said he used that flag because it looked cool and he didn't want to use a standard U.S. flag with 50 stars. Eventually, he planned to make up something about 13 super-states, but he never did. It was further elaborated upon by J.E. Sawyer, who broke up the U.S. into Commonwealths.
There is much misunderstanding about the number of stars on the flag and the corresponding zones, because not all of them are actually visible in the only available picture depicting it. Chris Avellone stated that there are 13 of them in Fallout Bible 8. He was "corrected" by Red, who sent him the picture with the location of 11 stars marked. In 2005, J. E. Sawyer tried to clarify the issue by saying that according to Tramell Ray Isaac, who rendered the intro cinematic for Fallout said that they just took the old colonial flag with 13 stars in a circle and added a new star in the middle.
Sawyer's explanation was widely accepted until 2008, when Bethesda Softworks released Fallout 3, which features a flag with 12 stars in a circle and one in the middle, currently the only version of the flag fully seen in a released game. This version of the flag reappears in Fallout: New Vegas, effectively establishing (or, alternatively, retconning) this version of the flag as the "true" version.

Saturday will be the third edition of the Red-White Spring Game under the tutelage of Tom O'Brien. Year three into the O'Brien regime finds the program getting more accustomed to the former Boston College head coach's system as they complete the spring."It's certainly been positive," O'Brien said. "We've had the same staff intact for the third year in a row and I think that's really important. It's showing itself on the field this spring with the same coaches and the same system and the same organization and the way we do things. I think it's been better for our team."NC State will practice again Thursday, and then have a very light workout Friday, which is also State's alumni day. That's a new tradition that was started by O'Brien when he arrived in Raleigh. Former players are invited to watch the practice Friday, and then there will be a social event held for the alumni that evening.Then Saturday the Kay Yow Spring Game starts at 1 p.m., and O'Brien said he is still looking for improvements from two areas on the team. ...More...

It's very good actually, i really like the mountain texture and the trees on the coast. However i'm not sure about the marsh thing on the north, it's confusing at first sight, but that's just my opinion. And maybe you should try to put the fields wrap around the town. Overall i like it.
And another thing is the labeling, i don't think it fits with the overall style.

Scottish band, Big Jessie, from Aberdeen entertained Buguruni School for the Deaf Students in Dar es Salaam yesterday.
The event was held to mark the Scottish Week as well as entertain the students who are heading for end of the year holidays.
The band comprising three musicians, Clare Lindley, Brian Mullan and Dick Smith was a big attraction at the schools premises during the late morning hours close to noon.
The band will today at a hotel in Dar es Salaam to raise funds for both the Buguruni School for the Deaf as ell as for the Children's' Cancer Ward at the Muhimbili National Hospital.
The proceeds will be divided between the Cancer Ward for children and the Deaf school at Buguruni.
The band has been flown in the country by British Airways and the British Caledonian of Tanganyika Society is the organizers of the visit.
The airlines manager Saada Juma said the visit has been important as the band is searching funds to help the needy. "We are also proud to be associated with this particular kind of events that meets social responsibility to help the needy societies", said Juma.
The members of the band came straight from the airport to the school for entertainment while downplaying the aircraft fatigue after flying for almost ten hours in the skies.
This is another plus point for the visitors who waived their opportunity to take a rest after a long flight", said Juma.
During the music show at the school, students joined the fray at the stage to play with the visitors in a frenzy of excitement.
This is the second time in two years for a band from Scotland to visit Dar es Salaam particularly the Buguruni School. Last year the band generated money for refurbishment of the school dormitories.
The Tanzanear, a non-government organization based in England has been organizing the arrival of the band and other assistances to the Bugurni School particularly last year when a group of ear specialists visited for some clinic to children.
Tanzanear's official Judith Roberts said her organization has been assisting deaf students for several years now.
While the band is staging events to raise money for the charities, the events are also coinciding with the Scottish Week Festivals in Tanzania.
According to the itinerary of the Scottish week, the band would also entertain cancer sick children at the Muhimbili Hospital on Wednesday.
Beside Muhimbili Hospital, the band would also perform for sick people at the CCBRT Hospital on Thursday.
Otherwise, the band will be busy with shows throughout the next week before boarding a return flight home on December 10.
The Caledonian Society is pleased to announce Scottish Week where fantastic band, specially flown in from Scotland, will be playing at various events around Dar es Salaam to celebrate the society's 90th birthday.
People are invited to come along to as many of the public events as they would like, except the St Andrew's Ball whose tickets are unfortunately now sold out.
For those who weren't lucky enough to get a ticket to the ball, it's worth to see the band at one of the other open events!

Polling Afghan Citizens for 2011 Survey
The Asia Foundation interviewed 6,348 adult Afghans, across all 34 provinces of Afghanistan in face-to-face interviews for the 2011 Survey of the Afghan People, the broadest, most comprehensive public opinion poll in the country. This survey is the seventh in The Asia Foundation's series of surveys conducted in Afghanistan; taken together they provide a barometer of Afghan public opinion over time. Each interview usually takes between 45-90 minutes. This slideshow captures the survey team as they travel the diverse provinces of Afghanistan, and the individuals as they provide their opinions on security, corruption, women's rights, the economy, development, peace and reconciliation, and the overall direction of Afghanistan.

6 Things You Can Make With Recycled Magazines
Posted by Emily | Filed under Design Tips, Musings, Sustainability
Do you have five or ten (or more!) years' worth of magazines languishing on shelves, in closets, under the bed? Perhaps some people really do flip through back issues; however, if you're like me, all those old decor and cooking mags are just taking up space and gathering dust. Personally, I have decided that it's time to set them free but if you're not quite ready to part with yours yet, here's another solution: transform them into something else for your home! Here are six fun DIY projects…
Above: Recycled Magazine Mirror – Inspired by a mirror sold at Urban Outfitters, fleetingthing created this budget-friendly project using an IKEA mirror, cardboard, glue, and magazines.
For those who have a bunch of National Geographic magazines lying around, check out this Magazine Shelf designed by Sean Miller! (via Inhabitat)
At left, a Magazine Reed Box; see the tutorial at CraftStylish. At right, a Garbage Can made by lovething at Craftster. The project comes from The Big-Ass Book of Crafts by Mark Montano.
Featured at Re-Nest, this Table or plant stand requires nothing more than magazines and a few minutes – no glue or scissors required!
Do you have any other good uses for old magazines?

41 U.S. Code § 3311 - Qualification requirement
prev | next
(a) Definition.— In this section, the term "qualification requirement" means a requirement for testing or other quality assurance demonstration that must be completed by an offeror before award of a contract.
(b) Actions Before Enforcing Qualification Requirement.— Except as provided in subsection (c), the head of an agency, before enforcing any qualification requirement, shall—
(1) prepare a written justification stating the necessity for establishing the qualification requirement and specify why the qualification requirement must be demonstrated before contract award;
(2) specify in writing and make available to a potential offeror on request all requirements that a prospective offeror, or its product, must satisfy to become qualified, with those requirements to be limited to those least restrictive to meet the purposes necessitating the establishment of the qualification requirement;
(3) specify an estimate of the cost of testing and evaluation likely to be incurred by a potential offeror to become qualified;
(4) ensure that a potential offeror is provided, on request, a prompt opportunity to demonstrate at its own expense (except as provided in subsection (d)) its ability to meet the standards specified for qualification using—
(A) qualified personnel and facilities—
(5) if testing and evaluation services are provided under contract to the agency for the purposes of paragraph (4), provide to the extent possible that those services be provided by a contractor that—
(c) Applicability, Waiver Authority, and Referral of Offers.—
(1) Applicability.— Subsection (b) does not apply to a qualification requirement established by statute prior to October 30, 1984.
(2) Waiver authority.—
(A) Submission of determination of unreasonableness.— Except as provided in subparagraph (C), if it is unreasonable to specify the standards for qualification that a prospective offeror or its product must satisfy, a determination to that effect shall be submitted to the advocate for competition of the procuring activity responsible for the purchase of the item subject to the qualification requirement.
(B) Authority to grant waiver.— After considering any comments of the advocate for competition reviewing the determination, the head of the procuring activity may waive the requirements of paragraphs (2) to (5) of subsection (b) for up to 2 years with respect to the item subject to the qualification requirement.
(3) Submission and consideration of offer not to be denied.— A potential offeror may not be denied the opportunity to submit and have considered an offer for a contract solely because the potential offeror has not been identified as meeting a qualification requirement if the potential offeror can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the contracting officer that the potential offeror or its product meets the standards established for qualification or can meet those standards before the date specified for award of the contract.
(4) Referral to small business administration not required.— This subsection does not require the referral of an offer to the Small Business Administration pursuant to section 8(b)(7) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637 (b)(7)) if the basis for the referral is a challenge by the offeror to either the validity of the qualification requirement or the offeror's compliance with that requirement.
(d) Fewer Than 2 Actual Manufacturers.—
(1) Solicitation and testing of additional sources or products.— If the number of qualified sources or qualified products available to compete actively for an anticipated future requirement is fewer than 2 actual manufacturers or the products of 2 actual manufacturers, respectively, the head of the agency concerned shall—
(A) publish notice periodically soliciting additional sources or products to seek qualification, unless the contracting officer determines that doing so would compromise national security; and
(B) subject to paragraph (2), bear the cost of conducting the specified testing and evaluation (excluding the cost associated with producing the item or establishing the production, quality control, or other system to be tested and evaluated) for a small business concern or a product manufactured by a small business concern that has met the standards specified for qualification and that could reasonably be expected to compete for a contract for that requirement.
(2) When agency may bear cost.— The head of the agency concerned may bear the cost under paragraph (1)(B) only if the head of the agency determines that the additional qualified sources or products are likely to result in cost savings from increased competition for future requirements sufficient to offset (within a reasonable period of time considering the duration and dollar value of anticipated future requirements) the cost incurred by the agency.
(e) Examination and Revalidation of Qualification Requirement.— Within 7 years after the establishment of a qualification requirement, the need for the requirement shall be examined and the standards of the requirement revalidated in accordance with the requirements of subsection (b). This subsection does not apply in the case of a qualification requirement for which a waiver is in effect under subsection (c)(2).
(f) When Enforcement of Qualification Requirement Not Allowed.— Except in an emergency as determined by the head of the agency, after the head of the agency determines not to enforce a qualification requirement for a solicitation, the agency may not enforce the requirement unless the agency complies with the requirements of subsection (b).

It's easy to find Beanbags (call +9126407382), Royal Enfields and Old Monk Rum in Bombay, but where do you find the parts to build an EyeWriter? Scroll down boss, scroll down.
A Part and Tool List for building a MumbaiWriter: a solder-less version of EyeWriter made from parts and tools found locally in Mumbai.
View MumbaiWriter in a larger map
And if you wanna see what the resolution looks like on the other side of the tracks, here is documentary filmmaker Mark Foster's take on the EyeWriter parts hunt.
Stay tuned for an upcoming post with assembly instructions from the FAT Lab: Jugaad since 2007.
BIG Thanks to Mark Foster, Anurag Garg, Vikrum Sood, Sreekumar Puthanveetil, Amitabh Bhattacharya, P-13, Nomad Films, Andthen, I.I.T. Bombay, Hanif Kureshi, Wilson, Shaunak, Vikas and the rest of the MumbaiWriter family…
Namaste! The EyeWriter development team just hit the streets of Mumbai, India on a mission to develop a GML-compliant version of the EyeWriter with the best engineers in the near-east from IIT Bombay for TechFest 2010. Maharashtra-style! We will be updating FAT and the EyeWriter blog on the maybe daily with news and instruction sets on how to survive in ole' Bombay, which hand to use for every occasion, how to be a slumdog hundredaire, etc… oh, and also how to make your own MumbaiWriter.
For the first Mumbai how-to we'll share some of the advice we got from the original artwankers at c6: How-to haggle down a market vendor in bad Hindi.
(written phonetically cuz we don't know any better)
— You go into a market and you approach a vendor who is selling something you want. Point at the item and say…
You: "Kidna pasa" — how many pennies for this?
— the vendor is offended. You basically just said they are selling cheap shit. But everyone respects an arse, so they give you a decent price in rupee.
You: "Bo jadda" — too much!
— What did you just say? The vendor should be shocked a dumb foreigner like yourself can speak any Hindi at all and come back with a lower price out of pity…
You: "Com corro" — a little less.
— Are you serious? If the magic is in the air, they may give you an even lower price…
You: "Or com corro" — a little more less?
— WTF? You're breaking my balls here! Whatever the vendor says next, you should take it. Its probably as low as its going to go for you.
You: "T.K." — OK.
Don't be shocked if this goes horribly wrong and stay tuned for more field R&D from sunny Mumbai! If you want to get involved with the project send us an email at info at eyewriter dot org.
Big thanks to Mick Ebeling and Anurag Garg for making this happen.

Thread: Problem with PSE6
Problem with PSE6
Hi, all. I joined recently and am taking this month's photography class. I do some digital work using PSE6, also.
I am having this problem. Every so often - and way too often!!! - the program will quit. Then, if I haven't saved, I lose whatever I've done. How often? Well, could be every 5 minutes. Not always as often, but it's a real pain.
When I first got the program it did not do this. Everything else seems to run fine.
My hubby says it's because I have way too much stuff stored on this computer - I do have a lot. Do you think that's it? Or some other thing?
We do run anti virus stuff daily and AdAware now and then. Doesn't seem to help.
Ideas, suggestions?
Thanks tons!Marlene
I use PSE 6 and don't have problems on my main computer using Windows XP, but I have had the problem of it shutting down on me when using Vista on my laptop. I did read an article that advised to make sure you do a defrag often as PSE 6 uses a lot of memory.
Good luck, and hope someone can give you more technical support, lol.
I've heard the same as Cathy, in fact plan on doing a defrag on my puter tonight. Andrea recommends it frequently (weekly, maybe). Try that and see if you get better results.
Good luck!!!
There does not seem to be an overall explanation for this issue. Unfortunately, I've just installed the 30 day free trial for Elements 7.0 and had just this issue as well after working with the text tool.
Best advice I can give would definitely be to save and save often while you're working in the program.
Thanks a bunch! I honestly don't know what it means to defrag but my DH does so he can do that. Maybe we are doing it from time to time and I just don't know about it. And believe me, I've learned to save a whole lot more than ever before! Like after only one or two functions, then save again! It's annoying, yes. Even more annoying, tho, is waiting to the program to reload again ... and again ... and again
I appreciate you taking a minute for my question!Marlene
The way PSE 6 is designed it uses a lot more RAM than previous versions. You may want to not only defrag often (and save often LOL) but check your Edit/Preferences/Performance. You'll want to see what kind of Available RAM you have along with how much you are allowing PSE to use. Then down below there is your scratch disk options. If you have a partitioned hard drive or even an external that is ALWAYS hooked up, you could set those a secondary scratch disk to your main C: drive.
Deb, if text is what's killing your PSE you may have too many fonts. Windows and fonts are not great at working together. I uninstalled 165 and my computer ran considerably better. In photoshop you have this cool thing where you can have a font that is NOT installed on your windows system show up in the list for just that one time. BEFORE opening PSE, open the font preview (The lazy brown fox... page that shows you what the font will look like), then keep it open while you open PSE. It will then show up on your list just until you are finished with that layout. I have a soccer font that is adorable but I only use 1 time a year so I created an index sheet with cute, but not needed fonts, uninstalled them and put them in a folder on my EHD and only use them when needed. Hope that helps!Just take it..."One Memory At A Time"
Have you seen my new kits?
Check Out My Store
You'll have to double click on the actual font file. Most are white with a blue TT on them. So if you have them in your windows system go to control panel/fonts and then you can copy and paste them into another folder, then delete them from that folder. When you double click on that file, it will give you the preview window that you have to leave open if you want to use it in PSE.
BE CAREFUL not to delete fonts your system needs...some of the boring ones for example. I know my Quickbooks uses a certain font so I had to keep that one.Just take it..."One Memory At A Time"
Have you seen my new kits?
Check Out My Store
Thanks for more info, OneMemory! Hopefully I will get this problem fixed soon.
As for fonts, I have never overloaded on fonts but I used to keep them on my desktop. DH tells me that's a no-no because they also slow things down there, plus when he does back up, it doesn't do the desktop. I know nothing.
I do know that if you are working in anything that has your fonts in it (Word, Outlook, Pub, PSE, etc), it all needs to be closed before opening the extra font you want. Once you open that font, you can use it any of those places. Once you close it, it's no longer available.
Also, you can use a font from the internet not stored anywhere on your computer. Just open it, once again, before opening anything else, use it from there. Just note where you found it just in case you need to go back to it.
I think, not sure, that if you remove a font that your programs come with, it can really mess things up ---- sounds reasonable, just not sure what it does. So be careful in taking those off.Marlene
If fonts are an issue - I would suggest The Font Thing which organizes fonts and allows you to preview and temporarily load fonts until you restart your computer. Also, with PSE you really need to have about a third of your hard drive space available in order for PSE to temporarily store all of your changes. If you reduce the number of History states (or increase your scratch disk space on an external drive as recommended by someone else) you may not crash as often.
Hope that helps!

The piano used for the song "As Time Goes By" in the classic 1942 film "Casablanca" has fetched more than $600,000 at auction.
The 58-key upright was sold to an unidentified buyer for $602,500 at Sotheby's New York on Friday.
Its pre-sale estimate was up to $1.2 million.
It was offered by a Japanese collector on the film's 70th anniversary.
The collector purchased the movie prop at a Sotheby's auction in 1988 for $154,000.
Humphrey Bogart played Rick Blaine in the Oscar-winning World War II love story, opposite Ingrid Bergman's character, Ilsa Lund.
In a famous flashback scene, Rick and Ilsa lean on the piano at a Paris bistro. Sam, played by Dooley Wilson, plays and sings.
They toast as Rick says: "Here's looking at you, kid."
