Animal movement strategies including migration, dispersal, nomadism, and residency are shaped by broad-scale spatial-temporal structuring of the environment, including factors such as the degrees of spatial variation, seasonality and inter-annual predictability. Animal movement strategies, in turn, interact with the characteristics of individuals and the local distribution of resources to determine local patterns of resource selection with complex and poorly understood implications for animal fitness. Here we present a multi-scale investigation of animal movement strategies and resource selection. We consider the degree to which spatial variation, seasonality, and inter-annual predictability in resources drive migration patterns among different taxa and how movement strategies in turn shape local resource selection patterns. We focus on adult Galapagos giant tortoises Chelonoidis spp. as a model system since they display many movement strategies and evolved in the absence of predators of adults. Specifically, our analysis is based on 63 individuals among four taxa tracked on three islands over six years and almost 106 tortoise re-locations. Tortoises displayed a continuum of movement strategies from migration to sedentarism that were linked to the spatio-temporal scale and predictability of resource distributions. Movement strategies shaped patterns of resource selection. Specifically, migratory individuals displayed stronger selection toward areas where resources were more predictable among years than did non-migratory individuals, which indicates a selective advantage for migrants in seasonally structured, more predictable environments. Our analytical framework combines large-scale predictions for movement strategies, based on environmental structuring, with finer-scale analysis of space-use. Integrating different organizational levels of analysis provides a deeper understanding of the eco-evolutionary dynamics at play in the emergence and maintenance of migration and the critical role of resource predictability. Our results highlight that assessing the potential benefits of differential behavioral responses first requires an understanding of the interactions among movement strategies, resource selection and individual characteristics.

The product below about dc timer switch has gotten many interest, a great deal greater than any other on our web page. We think it's for the reason that it pulls no punches. But, even though it really is a vital challenge, it really is not all doom and gloom, there is another point of view that some discover pretty unorthodox, but workable.
Now, wasn't that an effortless study? We hope which you identified the post as beneficial as we did. It's hard to know why some facts is written inside a way that just tends to make it impossible to decipher. %keywords% is so substantial to countless men and women that acquiring the correct facts, the initial time, tends to make each of the distinction in generating a timely choice. And who has time to wait these days?
UMER asked How to change the direction of dc current in a circuit?
The suuply is reversed by a double pole changeover switch, one changeover for each leg. For automatic operation, this switch can be a relay, that is in turn operated by a timer device. If there is significant power involved it is important to make sure the contacts break well before the other pole makes in the changeover. That is, a dead zone. With motors, you might need to stop the motor before reversing it. A solid state switch that does the same is a H bridge. The circuit is wired like the letter H with electronic switches on each leg (4 of them) and the load on the horizontal of the H. One diagonal pair is on for one direction, and the other pair for the other direction. This is commonly used for reversing DC motors. There also needs to be a dead zone between switching one pair off (so all 4 are off) then switching on the other pair. A timer can be mechanical or electronic. Mechanical timers have a motor driving a disk with pegs that operate the switch. Electronic timers for times longer than a few seconds are often a counter that counts the frequency of an oscillator etc, timing out when a specific count is reached. For shorter times from a few microseconds to a few seconds a 555 timer device might do. The timer may be triggered by some event (the power came on, something pressed a button) or even by itself so the reversal is repeated over and over in a loop. This needs specific circuitry for the application. Look up relays, H bridge, 555 timer circuits to learn more.

Time change may lead to 'winter blues'
Jenny Glick
Loss of light, predisposition, stress may get you SAD — seasonal affective disorder — this winter, an expert says.
WASHINGTON — The time change may make you more prone to get SAD — seasonal affective disorder.
Experts said that's because when we move to standard time, people tend to lose an hour of afternoon light and come home in the dark.
The change in schedule can throw off the body's internal clock, or circadian rhythm, Dr. Samuel Friedlander, assistant clinical professor of Sleep Medicine and Allergy Immunology at UH Cleveland Medical Center, said.
"It is great to have the extra hour of sleep, but a few days later that can lead to worse sleep," Friedlander told ABC News. "It can lead to insomnia or sleepiness."
As a result of disturbed sleep, Friedlander said the body is put under stress. Sleep is an important part of health.
"It affects nearly every system in the body, so that's how it can lead to problems in the body," Friedlander said.
Bethesda psychiatrist Dr. Norman Rosenthal is an expert of seasonal affective disorder, and said that it occurs mainly during the winter months due to lack of sunlight.
Once the time change happens, the sun will go down earlier and, in general, end of the year days are shorter. This means that people will be spending more waking hours in the dark, which leads to an increased risk of developing seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
Rosenthal said two other reasons why people get what's often referred to as the "winter blues" is biological predisposition and stress.
One theory as to why people develop SAD after the switch from daylight saving time to standard time is that sunlight brings out serotonin, which is a natural antidote to depression.
But SAD is more than just the winter blues, it's a form of depression that can be difficult to deal with in the winter months, according to the American Psychological Association.
Several studies have also indicated diminishing light can increase depression.
Symptoms of SAD including fatigue, sleep difficulty or excessive sleeping, weight gain, feelings of hopelessness or despair and thoughts of suicide, according to the American Psychological Association (APA).
Rosenthal and other experts said there are a variety of things you can do to prevent yourself from getting SAD, including exercising regularly, trying to go outside and enjoy the natural light in the morning and maintaining social connectivity. He recommends you walk first thing in the morning, do your best to curb stress and plan a winter vacation in a warm and sunny spot.
The end of daylight saving time also presents hazards for drivers, who will be spending more time on the road when the sun is down. The National Highway Safety Administration has cautioned "motorists and pedestrians to be more alert as the potential for harm increases as darkness falls earlier."

Q: Can GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH") really return null? This question may be a little less about C# and more about operating systems, please tell me if I should use other tags.
I need to find out if a user has Python installed, I thought checking for python.exe inside directories with "Python" in PATH was good enough, so I did:
string[] path = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH").Split(';');
foreach (string directory in path)
{
    if (directory.Contains("Python")
    {
        ...
    }
}

Thing is, GetEnvironmentVariable can return null and the responsible thing to do would be to make sure is not null before doing Split() and then putting it's value in string[] path.
But, really... is there any real scenario in which GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH") would return null?

A: I don't think I've even seen it in practice. I'm thinking it could only happen because of bugs or malicious behavior.

*

*Programs can change the environment of children by passing a parameter to CreateProcess and I suppose a bug or configuration issue could cause it to not set %path%. It is rare for programs to do this in the first place so it is an unlikely scenario.

*Build systems might erase everything to ensure reproducible builds but it would only stay in this state for a short while during startup and never propagate this environment to children.

*Someone playing around in cmd.exe and doing set "path=" or running a buggy batch file. I find this to be the most likely scenario.
However unlikely, it would be a bit embarrassing for your app to crash with an exception because of this when you should be able to prevent it with an extra line or two of code...

Heuer Skipper
Stainless Steel compressor case is approximately 40mm (excluding crown). Heuer Reference 2446C. Valjoux 72 manually-winding chronograph movement.
Overall condition: The case is in excellent condition over all, with light signs of wear consistent with age and use. The original dial is in excellent condition with light patina. Original hands are in excellent condition. Original case back, pushers and signed crown.
Includes a 20mm leather strap and two Nylon Straps by Crown & Buckle.
There are sports watches, and then there are sports watches.
Its no secret that we have a particular affection for golden-era Heuer around these parts. From the earliest manual-winding Carreras to the oversized PVD-coated Lemania-powered automatics, there is no question that the 60s and 70s were really good for a pre-TAG powerhouse Heuer.
In addition to their main-line chronograph offerings, Heuer, as a master of purpose-driven tool watch design, introduced some pretty interesting timepieces. The Calculator, Solunar, and Mareographe models are all oddball examples of function-first design for engineers, fisherman, and sailors respectively, and are in high demand with collectors today. Perhaps the most iconic specialty timepiece that Heuer ever produced are their Skippermodels, designed for use in regatta-timing.
If you haven't been out racing your yacht recently, the principle behind a yacht-timer is actually pretty simple. Unlike a race on dry ground, boats are unable to start a race from a dead stop - and short of anchoring, they are rarely standing still. At the start of a regatta, yachts are jockeying for position behind a starting buoy for 15 minutes. At the sound of the starting gun, a countdown is begun and the competing vessels launch past the start line 15 minutes later. Yachting Timers like this one are used to time the countdown onboard, their brightly colored countdown sub-dials denoting the remaining time.
The Skipper was first introduced in a Carrera case (affectionately known as a "Skipperera" among collectors), and is easily one of the rarest models Heuer ever produced. The second generation, seen here, was increased in size, sharing a case with the larger compressor-cased 7763C and 2446C Autavias. Equally rare, the Reference 7764 Skippers are infinitely wearable and stand out from their Autavia counterparts with the addition of an oversized tri-color register at the 3:00 position. At last count, less than a dozen of these beautiful watches are known to still exist!
This particular piece is without question the nicest example to come through our doors, with an incredibly vibrant dial, near-perfect original hands, and a sharp, glossy bezel insert. The case has previously been polished but remains strong, and it comes complete with correct barrel pushers and a signed Heuer crown. Overall, this is an incredible example of one of Heuer's most desirable vintage chronographs - you aren't likely to see too many more of these in your horological travels!

Approximately 6 out of 10 adults in the United States suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease, also known as GERD, and 3 in 10 experience symptoms on a weekly basis. The most common symptoms are a burning sensation in the chest or throat and a sour taste in the mouth, but others exist: difficulty swallowing, sore throat, hoarseness, dry cough, regurgitation, the sensation of a lump in the throat, and even chest pain.
Antacids like Maalox, Mylanta, Gaviscon, Rolaids, and Tums neutralize stomach acid.
H2 blockers like Zantac, Pepcid, and Tagamet reduce the production of stomach acid indirectly by inhibiting the activity of histamine.
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Nexium, Prevacid, Prilosec, and Protonix reduce levels of stomach acid directly by blocking the final step of acid production.
Acid-reducing drugs are intended to be used for only 8 weeks, but people often use them longer or even indefinitely. The longer these medications are used, the more difficult it is to stop using them because cessation can have a rebound effect, triggering a sudden increase in stomach acid production and a severe aggravation of symptoms. These drugs, particularly PPIs, should never be discontinued without a doctor's supervision.
In some cases, like those involving ulcers, drugs that reduce stomach acid production may be necessary for healing to happen. But in many cases, their risks outweigh their benefits because GERD is not caused by too much stomach acid. It's caused by incomplete closure of the valve that separates the stomach from the esophagus. Every time you swallow, a doughnut-shaped muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter or LES relaxes to open the passage, allowing food and liquid to travel from the esophagus into the stomach. Then it constricts to tighten back up again, closing the passage to keep the contents of the stomach inside the stomach.
When the LES isn't tight enough, acid from the stomach can travel up into the esophagus where it causes inflammation and damages delicate tissues that were never meant to encounter an acidic environment. If this happens over and over, inflammation in the esophagus can become chronic and may lead to bleeding and narrowing. Chronic esophageal inflammation also increases the risk of developing esophageal cancer.
To treat the real cause of GERD and reduce the risk of cancer, it's important to tighten the LES, heal inflamed tissue in the esophagus, and maintain good digestion. Tightening the LES stops reflux and healing the esophagus resolves inflammation and discomfort. Digesting our food fully is important because when it's not properly broken down, it lingers too long in the stomach and puts pressure on the LES, making it less likely to stay tightly closed.
Avoid foods that relax the LES or otherwise aggravate GERD: coffee, tea, alcohol, carbonated beverages, dairy products, citrus fruits and juices, chocolate, peppermint, chocolate, tomatoes, onions, spicy foods, fried foods, oily foods, and high-fat foods.
Avoid foods that promote inflammation including sweet, starchy, and processed foods.
Start every meal with a salad of raw leafy greens tossed with raw vinegar, a small amount of cold-pressed oil (extra virgin olive, walnut, flax), and a pinch of sea salt if you wish.
Chew your food thoroughly, at least 20 to 30 chews per mouthful.
Avoid overeating. Having too much food in the stomach puts pressure on the LES, so if you have to, consume smaller, more frequent meals instead of fewer, larger meals.
Avoid drinking liquids just before you eat, during meals, and for at least 30 minutes after eating. If you're thirsty, it's OK to sip water, but do so sparingly. Consuming too much liquid with meals can dilute stomach acid, which slows digestion and delays stomach emptying, which puts pressure on the LES.
Make dinner your lightest meal and avoid snacking before bed. After eating, do not lay down for at least two hours. If you're uncomfortable laying down, raise the head of the bed by six inches.
Chew on DGL. Studies show that deglycyrrhizinated licorice can heal gastric ulcers as well as prescription medication.4 To be effective, it has to be mixed with saliva, so look for chewable lozenges with as few additives as possible.
Maintain a healthy weight. Excess abdominal fat puts pressure on the LES, so if you're overweight, talk to your doctor about losing it in a healthy and sustainable way.
Avoid tight-fitting clothes. Constriction of the abdomen puts pressure on the LES.
Treat conditions that contribute or predispose to GERD including digestive problems, hiatal hernia, asthma, and diabetes.
Seek alternatives to medications that promote or aggravate GERD. These may include antibiotics, anticholinergics prescribed for overactive bladder and irritable bowel syndrome, bisphosphonates for bone loss, calcium channel blockers and nitrates for high blood pressure and heart disease, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, narcotics, benzodiazepines, progesterone, quinidine, and theophylline.
Talk to your naturopathic doctor about supplements to soothe and heal irritated and inflamed tissue, to tighten the LES, increase stomach acidity, improve digestion, and/or balance gut microbiota. If you don't get better, it will be important to investigate further because you may have a more serious condition.

Marvel hires director for 'Shang-Chi'
Bella Thorne claims Tana Mongeau 'broke girl code' in a series of messy tweets
Tiffanie Drayton— July 18
She also says Mongeau only dated her for Twitter clout.
Thread about 'depression meals' is inspiring lots of relatable answers Thursday 9:36 AM
Gavia Baker-Whitelaw—
Shang-Chi/Marvel
Disney has tapped Destin Daniel Cretton to direct Shang-Chi, Marvel's first film with an Asian lead.
Cretton is best known for directing the acclaimed indie drama Short Term 12, starring Captain Marvel's Brie Larson. He's written and directed five shorts and four feature films, and while he doesn't have any experience with action or blockbusters, that's no longer unusual among the new generation of superhero filmmakers.
Shang-Chi is a superpowered kung fu hero, so this film will probably be martial arts-focused. Unlike Marvel's controversial Iron Fist Netflix series, Shang-Chi is looking to recruit a majority-Asian cast, with Cretton selected from a shortlist of Asian-American filmmakers. Wonder Woman 1984 screenwriter Dave Callaham is writing the script.
Like Iron Fist, Shang-Chi was created in the 1970s, during the height of popularity for martial arts movies in the U.S. Partly inspired by Bruce Lee, he's a Chinese "Master of Kung Fu," trained and raised by his father, the supervillain Fu Manchu. His origin story involves the discovery that Fu Manchu is more malevolent than he seems, prompting Shang-Chi to switch sides and become a vigilante hero. He occasionally teams up with the Avengers and Heroes for Hire and has the ability to create duplicates of himself.
With most of the original Avengers expected to bow out after Avengers: Endgame, Shang-Chi joins Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Spider-Man as one of the main stars of Marvel's Phase 4.

Top airlines flying Ontario to Xi'an Xianyang
China Southern 7.1
Pros: "The crew was outstanding - pleasant and efficient."
Cons: "Entertainment: movie selection very limited."
Pros: "My mother's attendants and the flight crew were very friendly and courteous to her."
Cons: "No information or communication about bringing your own food or snacks on board. No food, snacks,entertainment or immigration forms were available. There was some food for purchase but if you didn't have a credit or debit card then you couldn't buy it. My mother was in a wheelchair waiting to board in Toronto and would have bought food to either eat there or carry on the plane but another passenger was severely reprimanded for getting out of her wheelchair and going to the bathroom, so my mother was intimidated to stay seated and not go to the bathroom nor ask any questions as to if she could go and buy some food or snack to eat while she was waiting. Only juices were served. She was flying since 11 am and arrived at 9:30 pm without any food. The website as well as all emails should inform about luggage weight as well as food and entertainment. On a layover the attendants should be more cooperative with disabled passengers and allow them to use the bathroom as well as to go and buy food."
Pros: "I enjoyed the crew, the food and the entertainment. The crew did give us peanuts for our extra 5 hours on the plane."
Cons: "We were 3 hours late for departure and took 2 extra hours in the air because of re-routing. The seats were abnormally stiff and went back so little that it was extremely hard to fall asleep during the 18 hours we were on board. The crew was unwillng to let us bring our instruments on board and thus, they cracked from the air pressure during the flight."
Pros: "the cew was nice"
Cons: "The terminal had no food options at all when we were in a very delayed flight and hungry. We were not given seats ahead of time and therefore were assigned the last row which was very uncomfortable and could not recline. No one was at the desk to help with the seats for a Very long time. The boarding process was not good."
Pros: "Brand new aircraft"
Cons: "Not gourmet not even fast food. A lot of area for improvement."
Pros: "Comfort of seats Crew's teamwork"
Cons: "It would be great if you could accept debit cards on board for purchases."
Pros: "The new airplane 787 is really a nice airplane"
Cons: "The flight delayed 1:45, making me lose my connection"
Pros: "We boarded very quickly! The staff were extremely friendly and made our thirteen hour ride pleasurable. The inflight entertainment had a great deal of new shows and movies. The seats had a decent size and good enough leg room. The flight was smooth, and we took off at a good time. The food was fairly good as well!"
Pros: "GOOD LEG ROOM"
Cons: "THE FOOD STILL SUCKED."
Pros: "the flight was on time, without any delay, easy boarding"
Cons: "Food was very mediocre, also the variety of movies needs to be improved asap."
Pros: "The sits were comfortable. More space between sits."
Pros: "I enjoyed the pleasant crew and the constant water being given."
Cons: "The crew was very pleasant and helpful. However it was unexpected that no food would be provided on a 5 hour flight. If not a small meal then a snack was expected. The crew did provide water consistently which was very nice. My personal entertainment screen was very unresponsive and then the head phone jack wasn't working for sound, I had to hold it at a certain angle to hear bits of sound. Since the head phone jack was located at my thigh it was very uncomfortable and when I shifted I broke my headphones :("
Pros: "Captain gave us regular updates"
Cons: "LGA closed for wind. We sat on taxi road for 2 hours. Crew could have served more than water while we waited. No AirCanada's fault but crew should have a plan to serve the snacks/ food if we are sitting for two hours and the total flight time is 1.5 hours."
Cons: "In flight movie wouldn't even go full screen!!! Had to squint"
Pros: "Free snacks , on board entertainment, friendly warm crew."
Pros: "I enjoy flying and being in the air at high altitude in any air line. Away from everyone else and with a new family who are flying with me."
Cons: "The charge per bag is ridiculous. It should be included as part of fare paid. Understood another bag charge as a separate fee."
Pros: "Tv in all seats, individual air controls, the crew was nice and I offered up my bag to go on the checked bags when asked and it was the first one out on the bagged claim"
Cons: "I'm 5'8 and my legs hardly fit when sitting straight in the seat"
Cons: "There was no access to movies."
Cons: "No entertainment"
Pros: "They oversold the flight and were unable to provide the services that were paid for months in advance. They didn't care just go wait in a line and then another. Then overestimate Canadian dollars and with exchange rate that was much less and they said they do this everyday."
Cons: "I paid in advance at a Fair for services they never intended to provide then they over less because of the exchange rate but mention the stress created at the end of a vacation."
Cons: "Overall good"
Cons: "The flight was late"
Pros: "Staff was friendly and accomodating"
Cons: "Return flight was delayed a couple hours, customs was "full" at Pearson causing more delays"
Cons: "No complimentary small snack at all, must pay for everything"
Cons: "This was the worse travel experience I have ever had. The crew was rude and gave wrong information that caused me to almost miss my flight. My ticket in the end ending costing me over $600 for all the additional charges. It was ridiculous. Among other things. I will never fly with them again."
Pros: "There is not one thing that was good about this flight. Bad plane, bad service, bad food. That sums it up. Will talk to as many travelers as I can to tell them to avoid this nightmare."
Cons: "No entertainment on board. No complimentary drinks. A piece of cold banana bread literally thrown on the tray for breakfast. Called the airline when reservation was made and told it would have entertainment and complimentary drinks. The switch to Rouge was a bait and switch. Rouge is from the 1970s. Long flights to sit and stare at the back of seat. Crowded seat at that. NEVER WILL FLY AIR CANADA AGAIN"
Cons: "I would like a flight map to follow the flight and have more information"
Pros: "simple and easy flight staff on flight were very friendly and helpful"
Cons: "selection of movies was small. and the controls are on the armrest in a bad spot."
Pros: "Crew was very helpful and polite, ensuring that the leg of our rerouted flight from Toronto to Frankfurt was comfortable."
Cons: "Not being able to complete my original itinerary as planned (see above)."
Cons: "gate was changed without an announcement flight was twice delayed"
Pros: "There were 2 pilots- the female one was polite and informative. We took off on time and even landed a little earlier than planned."
Cons: "Very noisy flight on a small plane. The flight from Hartford to Toronto was cold and others noticed it as well. The windows are all blurry. The sound of the engine blocks out the safety announcements!! It's a joke that they even have them. There is no beverage served. And for all this wonderful service you pay an outrageous fee!!!! I felt like I was in the back of a donkey wagon..."
Pros: "as above"
Pros: "I was concerned for seat comfort; my long legs fit fine and reclined sleep was comfortable. I was concerned about getting hungry; two meals kept my stomach quiet. I was concerned about sufficient distraction on such a long flight; the audio and video options are better than I've ever seen on the 767. Having just flown an Air Canada Rogue flight which was terribly cramped, uncomfortable and food-free with no form of entertainment I was worried. It turned out to be far better than expected."
Cons: "Perhaps I was fortunate but the experience was very good, no complaints."
Pros: "was forced to spend the night in Toronto because Air Canada didn't seem to know that there would be a huge crowd at the airport that evening. I was told as I exited my flight that I would not make the connecting flight and I had to spend the night in Toronto. I will never fly Air Canada again"
Pros: "The crew members in both the flights were amazing. they seemed like they enjoyed their job. Its not very common at Air Canada."
Cons: "The flight from Chicago to Toronto was delayed by half hour. But the boarding gate agents did not even mention the delay."
Pros: "There was nothing to like because I did not fly on Air Canada to Barcelona."
Cons: "For an unexplained reason, our first flight was delayed 45 plus minutes in Phoenix while cargo was moved from the forward cargo bay to the aft cargo bay. This caused us to miss our connection in Toronto. Air Canada then proceeded to rebook us on a flight leaving 2 days later. After an extended period of time, they finally rescheduled us for a flight to a different city in Europe and we had to catch another flight from there our final destination, Barcelona. The total additional travel time was extended by approximately 8 hours, causing us to lose the better part of our first day."
Cons: "My chair didn't lean back and the entertainment monitor did not work for about 2 hours."
Cons: "Lost my luggage no food only 1 juice' lost my luggage Robbed me (tsa toronto) of some gifts they thought dangerous"
Pros: "Comfy seat, good food, great attentive service and wonderful safe take offs and landings!"
Cons: "Flight delayed 2hrs without proper notification."
Pros: "flight was mostly empty so I can go sit somewhere else"
Cons: "I am only 6 feet tall, and my legs do not fit in those seats there is not physically enough room between the back of the seat and the back of the next seat for my legs to fit there"
Pros: "The flight attendant was personable and made the flight enjoyable."
Cons: "I couldn't get through security without my bag but they didn't have a way to let me know it was lost so I almost missed my flight waiting on a bag that wasn't coming. There should have been an announcement to come to the Air Canada desk. There wasn't. When I got to Charlotte, there was No One at the Air Canada desk to report my lost bag. Thank goodness those from United were able to provide me with a phone number to call. The phone attendant was not a native English speaker and made it incredibly difficult to file a claim. I'm still waiting for my bag."
Pros: "Extra leg room but paid for it."
Cons: "Very turbulent. Entertainment system was okay on iPad but selections were poor, lots of old stuff. Really dislike Rouge."
Pros: "I liked the Air Canada flight crew. They were all helpful and friendly. The flight was late leaving Toronto due to Florida weather issues and the crew did a good job keeping us informed and as comfortable as possible during the wait."
Cons: "Very little room in the seats. I am a man 5' 9" tall so I am average height. I barely had leg room and even less so when the person in front of me reclined his seat. Made the 3 hour trip feel a little uncomfortable. I miss the "back of the seat" entertainment system although the option through Air Canada's app worked fine,"
Cons: "Air Canada cancelled my boarding pass even though I made it to the gate before boarding started and refused to put me back on the flight. Then they lost my bags. The Toronto airport is a mess - avoid it if at all possible."
Pros: "Despite the original delay with the flight boarding staff was efficient at getting us on the plane as quickly as possible."
Cons: "The second part, from Toronto to Houston was the pitts. First of all they called me to the gate way before the boarding time and so I was a bit worried but when i got there there was nothing, they just confirmed I arrived from Montreal. This was strange and so I got a bit stressed as to why they had a called me and made me rush in the first place. Anyway, minor compared to the rest of the experience. The flight boarding was late, then an unscheduled stop in memphis for extra gas, then a tech problem that needed maintenance kept on on the ground. We finally made it to our destination 2 hours late. Most fellow passengers missed connecting flights and because we got out of the airport after midnight needed to get a cab to our accommodations. While I appreciate the attention to safety (and the curteous crew who obviously felt bad and were taking a lot of shit) we what was supposed to be a 3 hour flight ended up being 5 and there were no meals for sale,very limited snacks. We got one complimentary ,half can of juice and a bag of tiny bag spicy trail mix (labelled ranch) that i could not eat. After the delays we got an extra glass of complimentary cranberry juice. Which was amazing, but really did not cut it (from 5:15- midnight). By the end I was uncomfortable and starving! This was a radically disappointing experience in compared to the Ari Canada portion of the trip."
Cons: "Stewredess who did it did not apologise Had smelly shirt and wet jesns for 3 hours"
Cons: "Flight late, missed connection, lost luggage."
Pros: "Overall fair experience"
Cons: "Would have liked if the crew was a bit more friendlier. But they were professional for the most part."
Cons: "No wifi otherwise was great"
Cons: "Flown business class 4 times with China southern. But their beds never lay completely flat. Always have a hump in the middle so I raise the back a bit to compensate"
Pros: "I arrived at my destination."
Cons: "The food was not very good. Amenities such as toothbrush or mouthwash should be available on long haul flights."
Pros: "Outstanding Crew Service! Very attentive to passengers"
Cons: "Improve Ear Phones given to Business Class Passengers. Overall quality of units r cheap looking. Sound quality is also exceedingly mediocre"
Pros: "Helpful friendly staff serving on a clean, modern plane, with meal service on even two hour (international) flight. Great value."
Cons: "Most flight attendants have only limited English ability, but it's enough for basic communication. Very friendly and helpful in Chinese though!"
Cons: "Everything, totally understaffed, check-in kiosks do not work. Will avoid any carrier who uses them."
Pros: "A380 plane so it was quiet and comfortable"
Cons: "1. Great difficulty selecting seats ahead of time 2. In flight entertainment system limited and poorly organized 3. No power or usb connection 4. Food was not very good - even by airplane standard"
Cons: "My luggage was left behind in China. It's been 3 days and I'm sti waiting"
Pros: "China Southern CZ657 SFOCAN on a 777-300ER. Seating configuration in economy is a comfortable 3-3-3. They use some memory foam-like material for the seat padding and it is very comfortable. The crew was professional and friendly throughout."
Cons: "The price for this trip was just under $500 roundtrip CNXSFO. The food was nothing to write home about but during the flight, they offer endless Cup of Noodles and finger sandwiches and the vegetarian ones are very tasty."
Cons: "NO option for vegetarian food only chicken and beef are not suitable for all passengers."
Pros: "Crew was good and seats were ok."
Cons: "More room but we all know space is limited. Food can be improved though"
Cons: "Flight delayed, Missed connecting flight Not good response from ground crew members"
Pros: "Flight was on time, crew was very professional and worked hard to please the passengers in service and care. Food in business class was really good, and in fact, were generous portions. Surprisingly good choice of movies in entertainment."
Cons: "No sweeteners fondrinks like coffee, just sugar. I would really suggest to China Southern to stock sweeterners for passengers who don't use sugar."
Pros: "They put us up in a hotel"
Cons: "We missed the connection due to airline delays. So the flight they're going to get us into Bangkok will happen the evening of the next day. If they can get us the ticket change."
Pros: "After reading reviews on trip advisor about some specific problems such as customer service and food options, I am happy to say that my experience actually excelled in these two areas. I will be flying with China Southern again."
Cons: "The same things everyone doesn't like about the common flying experience, extended to a 15 hour flight."
Pros: "Boarding was fast even though the flight wa delayed and they allowed me to sit in a different seat since the flight wasn't full."
Cons: "No vegetarian option. There were still sausage with my egg. No entertainment system. Not everything was translated to English so I didn't understand what was going on."
Pros: "Pretty much everything."
Cons: "The food could be better."
Cons: "They lost my bag. I made sure to check with the attendant multiple times to make sure my bag would be on the flight to Bali and they confirmed it would. When I arrived in Bali, I was notified that my bag was still in China. They had over 12 hours to make sure my bag would be on the flight"
Pros: "Our cabin crews were always nice n friendly."
Cons: "Boarding was a bit difficult."
Cons: "Crewmen at the luggage/bags scanning were very rude. Our flight from Manila to Guangzhou was delayed by an hour or so. With all the pressure we were already experiencing and rushing to get to our connecting flight, here comes these crewmen in charge of scanning our bags we're all shouting at us to rush. The delay was not the passengers fault."
Pros: "Long haul 15 hour flight"
Pros: "Smaller plane, but more personal space."
Cons: "No entertainment available, but to be expected on shorter flights."

Pros: "China Southern Airlines flight was very clean, very friendly, and of very good ticket price."

Cons: "Food was average. but as I paid a low a low fare I was overall very pleased. I provided my own headphones as the supplied headphones are usually terrible on all economy flights"
Pros: "Ontime departure, guest pack with toiletries, eye mask and ear plugs along with a blanket and pillow for each seat. Roomy seats with a massive variety of entertainment options for the long flight. We encountered a significant amount of turbulence and the staff were kind, accommodating and not too restrictive with the seat belt sign."
Cons: "They lost my luggage."
Cons: "The boarding was pailful, we were toured by bus around the airport, and then has to go to a isolated island and going two floor narrow stairs by carrying luggage"
Pros: "This wasn't a China Southern flight. This flight was serviced by Delta. It was a newer plane with entertainment systems."
Cons: "Flight was delayed. Had to purchase headphones."
Pros: "That I got on the flight. That it was cheap."
Cons: "That every single southern china air flight was delayed, which nearly caused me to miss my other flights on the way back. When we were on the plane they didn't even tell us the flight was going to be delayed, we just sat on the plane for an hour twiddling our thumbs. No reasons given, will not flight southern china again"
Pros: "Service but I slept the entire flight"
Pros: "They got me to my destination safely."

Pros: "My flight was delayed several times so I was never able to get on it. However the staff was ready for me as soon as I got to the counter and had already prepared with another airline, Thai airlines, all the necessary flights to get me safely home. Truly outstanding service, One of the best I have ever had in my life. I will continue to recommend both this airlines to every person I know. You guys are the best. Thank you so much!"
Pros: "Always, the level of service must be considered in light of the price--and CS had an excellent price. Food was acceptable, nice blankets."
Cons: "CS serves primarily a Chinese speaking clientele, so they do not need to attract staff with high levels of English. You are flying on a Chinese carrier, not one with a global feel. Service is more than adequate with respect to call button etc. But meal service is "clipped" (for lack of a better term). No extras, warm beer, wine but no liquor. No snacks.They can do better, if they want to compete with the gulf airlines. Baggage took about 45 minutes to arrive at LAX. Very glitchy entertainment system"
Cons: "They just two weeks before the flight decided to change the dates of the flight."
Pros: "Cheap Price, but not worth the downside. Crew was helpful but mostly on break."
Cons: "Extremely uncomfortable seats, Impossible to navigate website, Absolute prohibition of turning on cellphone during flight."
Pros: "The crew was very pleasant and the plane was very clean."
Cons: "The handset to control the TV and movie entertainment was very difficult to control. My wife's hands had stopped working at one point."
Pros: "Everything!!! Great crew and great staff."
Pros: "I like the crew very much , everything was great"
Cons: "I don't like that the crew members have a hard time with speaking English"
Pros: "In flight movies"
Cons: "Late. Took forever to taxi to gate and then still had to take s bus to gates"
Cons: "Flight to Fuzhou delayed hours, no information given. Flight from Fuzhou was cancelled. China Southern didn't book us on another flight, or notify us. I spent an hour and a half trying to get a substitute flight (which left 5 hours earlier, meaning our layover was 7 hours in the airport). They said they wouldn't charge me this time (?!). The customer service was terrible, but the fact that they cancelled a flight without notification and re-booking was preposterous."
Cons: "Had to turn off electronic devices an hour before we landed."

We consider a bill enacted if one of the following is true: a) it is enacted itself, b) it has a companion bill in the other chamber (as identified by Congress) which was enacted, or c) if at least about half of its provisions were incorporated into bills that were enacted (as determined by an automated text analysis, applicable beginning with bills in the 110th Congress).
