National Data Fusion Project, Phase I
The National Data Fusion Center is envisioned to be a single interface that combines data from roadside inspection stations nationwide. State data systems will transfer data to a Federal system, allowing for data sharing among States. A successful National Data Fusion Center will provide opportunities in commercial vehicle enforcement to conduct HOS verification across jurisdictional boundaries, through the use of vehicle and driver identification and other e-screening systems. Use of the National Data Fusion Center might involve identifying cases—through time of flight and miles traveled estimates calculated using license plate reader (LPR) data—where a driver's record of duty status was falsified, indicating HOS fraud. Phase 1 of the National Data Fusion Center is complete. In Phase 2, a regional system will be developed and tested in the Commerical Motor Vehicle Roadside Technology Consortium (CMVRTC). The system will be designed to be scalable for national implementation. For the National Data Fusion Center to be successful, LPRs and U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number readers must be accurate, data retention/specifications must be appropriate, and States must be able to adopt current systems to allow for the storage and transfer of this new data set.

A NIGHT WITH ZELLA DAY & MILO GREENE
Soho Santa Barbara was treated to an amazing evening with Milo Greene and Zella Day. This was the first show to officially kick off their tour and the house was packed.
Day started the night off well. Her presence on stage was beautiful and fierce. She played with tons of great tunes including "Compass" and her new single "Hypnotic." Having seen her perform solo at a few festivals last year, it was a real treat to see accompanied with a band. After the show, she was chatting with fans and selling custom created incense with her CDs and shirts.
Greene was the next to take the stage. A Los Angeles based cinematic pop band with four lead singers. I had no idea what to expect upon arrival to the show, but was pleasantly surprised with their array of songs. Their sonic tone felt like you were being taken on a journey. Song after song, a new movement into the night. I also really enjoyed watching people play different instruments and trade lead vocal duties. It's always cool to see artists that are multi-talented.
Check out the remaining tour dates for Zella Day and Milo Greene. It's defiantly a show not to be missed.

BOSTON (September 1, 2014, 10:20 AM EDT) -- It may be possible to train the brain to prefer healthy low-calorie foods over unhealthy higher-calorie foods, according to new research by scientists at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (USDA HNRCA) at Tufts University and at Massachusetts General Hospital. Published online today in the journal Nutrition & Diabetes, a brain scan study in adult men and women suggests that it is possible to reverse the addictive power of unhealthy food while also increasing preference for healthy foods.
"We don't start out in life loving French fries and hating, for example, whole wheat pasta," said senior and co-corresponding author Susan B. Roberts, Ph.D., director of the Energy Metabolism Laboratory at the USDA HNRCA, who is also a professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University and an adjunct professor of psychiatry at Tufts University School of Medicine. "This conditioning happens over time in response to eating - repeatedly! - what is out there in the toxic food environment."
Scientists have suspected that, once unhealthy food addiction circuits are established, they may be hard or impossible to reverse, subjecting people who have gained weight to a lifetime of unhealthy food cravings and temptation. To find out whether the brain can be re-trained to support healthy food choices, Roberts and colleagues studied the reward system in thirteen overweight and obese men and women, eight of whom were participants in a new weight loss program designed by Tufts University researchers and five who were in a control group and were not enrolled in the program.
Both groups underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans at the beginning and end of a six-month period. Among those who participated in the weight loss program, the brain scans revealed changes in areas of the brain reward center associated with learning and addiction. After six months, this area had increased sensitivity to healthy, lower-calorie foods, indicating an increased reward and enjoyment of healthier food cues. The area also showed decreased sensitivity to the unhealthy higher-calorie foods.
"The weight loss program is specifically designed to change how people react to different foods, and our study shows those who participated in it had an increased desire for healthier foods along with a decreased preference for unhealthy foods, the combined effects of which are probably critical for sustainable weight control," said co-author Sai Krupa Das, Ph.D., a scientist in the Energy Metabolism Laboratory at the USDA HNRCA and an assistant professor at the Friedman School. "To the best of our knowledge this is the first demonstration of this important switch." The authors hypothesize that several features of the weight loss program were important, including behavior change education and high-fiber, low glycemic menu plans.
"Although other studies have shown that surgical procedures like gastric bypass surgery can decrease how much people enjoy food generally, this is not very satisfactory because it takes away food enjoyment generally rather than making healthier foods more appealing," said first author and co-corresponding author Thilo Deckersbach, Ph.D., a psychologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. "We show here that it is possible to shift preferences from unhealthy food to healthy food without surgery, and that MRI is an important technique for exploring the brain's role in food cues."
"There is much more research to be done here, involving many more participants, long-term follow-up and investigating more areas of the brain," Roberts added. "But we are very encouraged that, the weight loss program appears to change what foods are tempting to people."
Additional authors of this paper from the Energy Metabolism Laboratory at the USDA HNRCA Lorien E. Urban, Ph.D., and Taylor Salinardi, a graduate of the Friedman School. Co-authors from Massachusetts General Hospital are Alexandra M. Rodman, Amanda R. Arulpragasam and Darin Dougherty, M.D.
This study was supported by the US Department of Agriculture under agreement no. 58-1950-0-0014 and a pilot grant from the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University.
Conflict of Interest Disclosure: Susan Roberts holds equity in the iDiet, an online weight loss program equivalent to the one reported here that is being used in corporations and community groups.
For three decades, the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University has studied the relationship between good nutrition and good health in aging populations. Tufts research scientists work with federal agencies to establish the USDA Dietary Guidelines, the Dietary Reference Intakes, and other significant public policies. The Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University is the only independent school of nutrition in the United States. The school's eight degree programs - which focus on questions relating to nutrition and chronic diseases, molecular nutrition, agriculture and sustainability, food security, humanitarian assistance, public health nutrition, and food policy and economics - are renowned for the application of scientific research to national and international policy.

A trip to remember
In conversation with Darshana, who has sung three songs for O Kadhal Kanmani.
April 11, 2015 07:11 pm | Updated April 12, 2015 02:59 am IST
Sudhir Srinivasan
Darshana with A.R. Rahman
Y ou arrived with a bang in 2007 — singing the popular 'Maduraikku Pogathadee' (Azhagiya Thamizh Magan). There's been a lull since then?
Yes, I moved to Chicago after marriage seven years ago. I kept myself occupied with music (studying jazz vocals at the Old Town School of Folk Music, Chicago), but it was difficult to find Kollywood work living so far away. Despite that, I've managed to come to Chennai at least once a year and have contributed to songs such as 'Balleilakka' ( Sivaji ), 'Pappu Can't Dance Saala' ( Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na ), and 'Chinnamma Chilakkamma' ( Sakkarakatti ).
How didOK Kanmanihappen?
I visited Chennai in January, this year, and generally put word out to studios that I was available. Miraculously, I got a call from Panchathan studios (owned by A. R. Rahman)! I saw no singers when I went in, and figured they just wanted to say 'Hi'. Rahman then came in and asked if I wanted to sing for a project. Yes please! He made me sing a few lines for 'Kaara Aattakkaara', the bits you hear in the trailer. After about 20 minutes of recording, I thanked everybody and went home and called all my friends to share my excitement. Karthik (my husband) calmed me down a bit and told me that we didn't even know if it'd be selected for the album. It didn't matter though. I was on a high.
You have also rapped for the song.
That happened four days later. I was called again and given a few lines that didn't seem to fit into the tune at all. I was scared I was going to make a fool of myself. Rahman walked in and asked if I'd ever rapped. He smiled when I said no, and asked me to rap like ADK (Aaryan Dinesh Kanagaratnam, the male vocalist of the song). He sang my lines and showed me exactly what he wanted.
And then, of course, you got the biggie — a duet with Rahman in 'Theera Ulaa' that has you singing that classical interlude in the middle.
( Laughs ) Yes. They called me for the third time in a couple of weeks. This time, Rahman wanted to know if I was comfortable with classical music. I said I knew the basics. He gave me about six lines, and told me that I had to sound like I was content, like I was floating.
When did you know all your contributions would be part of the album?
They called me again to sing the Telugu versions of the songs, and that was when I knew for sure that these weren't just practice tracks. I met Mani Ratnam and realised this was for OK Kanmani ( OK Bangaram in Telugu). I also got to sing 'Mental Madhilo', the Telugu version of 'Mental Manadhil'.
I took selfies with them, and Mani was kind enough to ask if we could walk across the room so we could get better lighting for our selfie. Was I going to argue against his sense of lighting? ( Laughs )
Quite a couple of weeks, eh?
It was unbelievable. I know singers in Chennai who run from pillar to post for such work without getting it. How lucky for a person like me to get such tracks when on a vacation! Though I have a recording studio in Chicago, I'm now making plans to shift to Chennai. The time seems right.

Home Sleeping Pill Addiction and Abuse Sleeping Pills – FAQ What Happens When You Get Caught with Sleeping Pills?
What Happens When You Get Caught with Sleeping Pills?
If you are caught illegally possessing sleeping pills, you could face a series of legal consequences including arrest, jail time, a life-long criminal record and financial penalties.
By The Recovery Village
Editor Thomas Christiansen
Reviewer Bryan Hindin
Possession of prescription-strength sleeping pills, such as Ambien (Zolpidem), Dalmane (Flurazepam), and Lunesta (Eszopiclone), without a valid prescription or in an amount that exceeds an individual's prescribed amount, is illegal. The penalties associated with these offenses often include arrest, misdemeanor or felony prosecution, a life-long criminal record, imprisonment, mandatory drug treatment and monitoring protocols, suspension of driver's license and significant court fines.
Prescription sleeping pills are typically categorized as sedative-hypnotic drugs and benzodiazepines. Sleeping pills are commonly prescribed by physicians to treat chronic insomnia and other sleep-related disorders. However, due to their powerful psychoactive properties, calming, relaxation and sedative effects, prescription sleeping pills are among the most commonly abused prescription drugs — especially among teenage and elderly populations.
Benzodiazepine and sedative-hypnotic drug abuse have also been found to increase one's risk of developing a substance use addiction or physical dependence disorder. Because of those substances' considerable risks and propensity for abuse, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) classifies prescription sleeping pills, like Ambien and Halcion, as Schedule IV controlled substances. While these substances have comparatively lower risks of addiction and dependence developing when compared to Schedule I, II and III substances, they still present a significant risk of dependence and addiction; especially for individuals with underlying substance use or co-occurring mental health disorders.
Criminal penalties associated with unlawful use and possession of prescription sleeping pills are generally determined by state-specific controlled substance statutes, which vary from state to state. The severity of penalties an individual faces are primarily dependent upon the amount of the substance within the individual's possession when they are caught, whether they have previously been convicted of a drug-related offense and the intent of their possession. Despite differences in penalties by state, the use, possession, and distribution of prescription sleeping pills is a criminal offense in every state of the United States.
Crimes Associated with Sleeping Pills
Sleeping pills are available legally in a wide variety of forms, brands, and concentrations, via prescription from a licensed physician. However, because the vast majority of sleep medications (excluding over-the-counter sleep aids like Melatonin) are classified as Schedule IV controlled substances, possession of prescription sleeping pills without a prescription, in any form, is a serious criminal offense with significant legal consequences. Additionally, those with a sleeping pill dependence or substance use disorder are typically unable to get the substance from a physician and will look to either the black market or prescription fraud to obtain it.
A majority of criminal offenses related to the illegal use, possession or distribution of prescription sleeping pills are subject to state-level misdemeanor or felony charges.
Misdemeanor charges are generally applied to instances of unlawful use and low quantities of controlled substance possession. Felony charges are typically the result of being caught with high quantities of the substance, acquisition of the substance through prescription fraud, exhibiting the intent to distribute and for repeat offenders.
The severity of state-level penalties and classification of charges (misdemeanor or felony) an individual will face is almost entirely determined by the amount of sleeping pills within their possession, how they obtained the substance, and the presumed intent of possession. Misdemeanor convictions generally result in small court fines, probation, drug treatment, and monitoring conditions and short periods of incarceration in county jail. Felony convictions are subject to much steeper penalties, with the potential for sentences of up to 10 years in state prison.
In addition to state-level offenses, certain unlawful acts, such as trafficking in prescription sleeping pills, are subject to federal charges and prosecution under the Federal Controlled Substances Act. Trafficking Schedule IV controlled substances is a federal felony offense with mandatory penalties of between $250,000 and $1 million in court fines, and a maximum prison sentence of 5 years. For those with prior federal controlled substance trafficking convictions, these penalties increase to a maximum court fine of $2 million and a maximum prison sentence of 10 years in prison.
Caught Without My Sleeping Pills Prescription
Individuals lawfully prescribed sleeping pills may still face legal penalties if they are caught in possession of the substance in a quantity or form different than that which was prescribed to them. Additionally, those in possession of an expired prescription or without proof of a valid prescription can face misdemeanor or felony charges for unlawful possession of a controlled substance. Because of the strict limitations on controlled substance possession, the only form of legal possession is with a valid prescription.
Sleeping Pills Prescription in a Bottle
All prescription medications, including sleeping pills, are delivered to patients in a container with a prescription medication label detailing the patient's identification information along with the physician's name, pharmacy information, expiration date and quantity prescribed.
Prescription medication labels are the best form of prescription verification. As such, prescription sleeping pills should always be stored in their original container. So long as medications are stored in this manner, an individual will not face any legal consequences for possessing prescription sleeping pills. However, failure to adhere to any of these conditions may result in arrest and criminal prosecution.
Prescription Outside the Bottle
The storage of lawfully prescribed medications is even more important in states with strict guidelines regarding prescription possession. Certain states consider prescription storage outside the original container to be an unlawful and prosecutable offense. Individuals who store their sleeping pill prescriptions outside of the original container and in locations such as pockets, bags or any other non-medical storage device have, possibly unknowingly, committed a criminal offense and may face arrest or prosecution.
Typically, these offenses are prosecuted in the same manner as criminal use and possession of controlled substances without a prescription. Regulations regarding the storage of prescription medication vary from state to state and often include a series of unique exemptions and guidelines. Individuals concerned about proper storage of prescription sleep medication should contact their physician to discuss their state's specific laws.
Caught and Not My Sleeping Pills Prescription
Regardless of circumstance, an individual caught in possession of a sleeping pill prescription belonging to someone else, obtained through the black market or prescription fraud, committed a criminal offense and will likely face severe legal and financial repercussions. These repercussions include arrest, detention, prosecution, court fines, incarceration, and a life-long criminal record.
The specific penalties associated with prescription sleeping pill possession vary considerably by state, so consult with an attorney about specific state laws.
Getting Caught High on Sleeping Pills
The most common offenses related to the unlawful use of prescription sleep medication are those involving driving under the influence. For example, driving under the influence of sleeping pills in the state of California, applies to both prescription and over-the-counter sleep medications, and is prosecuted as a misdemeanor offense punishable by six months in jail, a 10-month driver's license suspension, three to nine months of DUI school and a fine up to $1,000.
For individuals on probation or drug treatment conditions, non-approved prescription sleeping pill use detected in random drug tests will result in legal consequences far greater than those of the original offense. While sleeping pill use is not typically detectable in standard drug tests, there are a variety of specific tests that can detect it. These tests include urine, hair and saliva tests. Despite an extremely short half-life of 1.5 hours, prescription sleeping pills, like Ambien, remain detectable in a person's system for up to 72 hours in urine tests, up to three to five weeks in hair tests, and up to eight hours in saliva tests.
Similar to possession and distribution, unlawful use of prescription sleeping pills is likely to result in severe legal and financial consequences.
Key Points: Getting Caught With Sleeping Pills
Because getting caught with prescription sleeping pills outside of a prescription can result in severe legal repercussions, keep the following key points in mind:
Prescription sleeping pills should be stored in their original containers. Many states have laws that make it illegal to store sleeping pills anywhere but within their prescription containers.
Using someone else's prescription pills is illegal, as is letting someone else use your sleeping pills
People caught with prescription sleeping pills without a prescription for them will face penalties that vary depending on the volume of pills in their possession. High amounts indicate the intent to distribute and can result in millions of dollars in fines and decades in jail.
To avoid legal trouble always use your prescription sleeping pills exactly as prescribed, do not attempt to get more through other people, do not share your prescription pills with anyone else and keep your prescriptions in their original containers.
If you or a loved one live with a substance use disorder, contact The Recovery Village to speak with a representative about how addiction treatment can work for you. Individualized treatment programs help patients address their addiction alongside any co-occurring disorders. You deserve a healthier future, call today.

Thirty-six items had been tested locally for anthrax as of Monday, 19 November, with all results negative, according to the Public Health Services.
Twenty-nine items were pieces of regular mail, while seven items contained suspicious powder. Most of the items turned over for testing were because of public concern regarding the country of origin, such as some in the Middle East, said Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Kiran Kumar.
He outlined the procedure that is followed when an item is turned over to the Royal Cayman Islands Police (RCIP) for testing: "The RCIP organises testing through the Cayman Islands Hospital's Forensic Laboratory, which then examines the item to determine if any powder is present," he said. "If so, it is immediately tested for anthrax spores.
"Even if no spores are found, the item is tested for the growth of any organisms. This test takes 14 to 24 hours," Dr. Kumar continued. "As an extra precaution, regardless of the presence or absence of powder, swabs are taken from the inside and outside of the package or envelope." If the tests are negative for anthrax, the RCIP returns the envelope or package to its owner.
While he noted that powder substances are also analysed for drugs, he acknowledged that elaborate testing is required to specifically identify the exact nature of the substances. "In general, the laboratory focuses its testing on ruling out anthrax and drugs," he commented.
Persons who are exposed to powder substances do not need to attend a health facility, but are advised to wait until the RCIP or the Fire Services officials reach the scene and assess the situation. All persons possibly exposed to any item that tests positive for anthrax would be offered antibiotics, Dr. Kumar said.

Catholic Charities USA announces 2021 Volunteer of the Year
Sister Donna Markham OP, PhD, president and CEO of Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA), announced today that Tammy Goodman of Catholic Charities Serving Central Washington (Yakima) has been named the CCUSA Volunteer of the Year for 2021. (Click here for a brief video featuring Goodman and her volunteer ministry.)
"Catholic Charities has been heavily engaged in bringing relief to those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic for more than a year now," Sister Donna said. "Tammy is a wonderful example of our volunteers who have risen to the occasion under very trying circumstances and helped our sisters and brothers in need."
For the past eight years, Goodman has volunteered at St. Vincent Centers' food bank and has been the lead volunteer for the past three years. During the pandemic, most volunteers at the food bank had to stop working because they were from vulnerable populations. Goodman trained new groups of volunteers multiple times during the pandemic due to turnover, and she led the effort to implement a service model for no contact food distribution.
"We are delighted that Tammy Goodman has been chosen as the CCUSA Volunteer of the Year," said Darlene Darnell, president and CEO of Catholic Charities Serving Central Washington. "Tammy exemplifies our mission of 'bringing hope to life, especially for those most in need' everyday! Tammy's passion and love for her work shine through to everyone she encounters."
The CCUSA Volunteer of the Year Award, given annually since 1998, is granted to an individual who embodies the mission of CCUSA to provide critical services to those in need, advocate for justice in social structures and call the entire Church and other people of good will to do the same. Catholic Charities agencies across the U.S. nominate candidates for the award from nearly 300,000 volunteers.

It's amazing how just stumbling upon something can shape and direct the rest of your life. That's exactly what happened to Lexie Hayden at the young age of 7 when she found a tape recorder in her mother's closet. Little Lexie recorded herself singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and everyone who listened to it could hear the passion as she sang. At the age of 14, Hayden received her first guitar and would then take that passion for singing and use it towards karaoke machines, guitar lessons, show choir and piano recitals; experience she would need to take her to the next stop along her musical journey.
It wasn't until her freshman year of high school until she got the drive she really needed. She was invited on stage to perform with a band at a popular local venue. After performing, she walked off the stage and heard a crowd member in the audience say "one day I'll say I saw her before she was famous!" That night, Hayden posted her first YouTube video and now, four years later, her YouTube channel has grown into 90+ videos and 2 million+ views.
Lexie Hayden, now 20 years old, is currently an intern on "The Bobby Bones Show" and is chasing her dream as a country music artist. You can buy her songs on iTunes here. Do yourself a favor and check out her lyric video for "Rainin' On a Wednesday" and let it blow you away like it did to me when I first heard it.

A "Golden Spike" for the 21st century
Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network celebrates milestones for regional wireless project
Members of the media are cordially invited to attend a ceremony celebrating the latest project milestones for "Wireless Silicon Valley," a Joint Venture-led project to make the 1,500 square-mile Silicon Valley region wireless by 2008.
At their November 17th meeting, the Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network board of directors will kick off the implementation phase of the new data network. They will be joined by officials of the San Mateo County Telecommunications Authority (SAMCAT), Joint Venture's public-sector partner for the project, and by members of Silicon Valley Metro Connect, a collaboration of IBM, Cisco Systems, SeaKay and Azulstar who were selected to construct the network.
A "Golden Spike" for the 21st century. Board members and leaders of the project will sign the first transmitter box that will be mounted in the new network, which is painted a ceremonial shade of gold. That transmitter will then be deployed in city hall of the first city to adopt the model agreement and provide permits to the Metro Connect team.
"In the last century people were connected by railroads, and they celebrated the first transcontinental railroad by driving a golden spike," said Joint Venture President & CEO Russell Hancock. "In the 21st century we're mounting a golden transmitter, because now communities are connected by electronic means, and Silicon Valley is leading the way."
More than just a promise of a ubiquitous network, the Wireless Silicon Valley project will ultimately connect the greater Silicon Valley region at broadband speeds—from San Mateo to Gilroy and extending to Santa Cruz. It is the first regional network to be built on such a scale in the United States.
Remarks and announcements will be made by:
Brian Moura, Deputy City Manager, City of San Carlos (project co-chair)
Dan Fenton, President and CEO, San Jose Convention and Visitor's Bureau (project co-chair)
Michael Dillon, Director, Industry Solutions, Safety, Security and Community Broadband, IBM
Kevin Dickson, Director, Product Management, Outdoor Networks, Cisco
There will be also be demonstrations of city portal webpages and wireless equipment for consumers and cities.
Friday, November 17, 2006 from 9:00 – 9:30 a.m.

Expedia is a travel agency that was launched in 1996 by Microsoft. At that time, it was known as Microsoft Expedia Travel Services but has since rebranded to Expedia Group Inc. after it was sold in 2002 to USA Interactive. One thing about Expedia is that it owns at least 200 travel sites in 75 countries across the world. Its websites include Expedia.com, Hotwire.com, Hotels.com, trivago, Cheap Tickets, Travelocity, Venere.com, Wotif, HomeAway, Orbitz, and so on.
In the US, no other travel agency matches Expedia's might. Its online travel booking services are unrivaled the world over. Apart from flight booking services, Expedia also offers car rental and room booking services to its clients.
To make their services available to millions of clients across the world, players in the travel industry can join Expedia. They will be able to better manage their businesses, attract clients, and maximize profits. When it comes to booking any of the available services, all a client needs to do is open the Expedia website, pick a company from which they want to book, and reserve the services. In the process, they will be able to enjoy discounts by taking advantage of available coupon codes.
Coupon codes provide an opportunity for you to save some money while ordering goods or services online. They exist in the form of alphanumerical strings offered by online service providers for use on their websites. By entering the codes into the payment page, you will be able to have the price due reduced by a certain percentage or dollar amount. One thing about Expedia is that their coupon codes can afford you discounts of up to 50 percent. You can also be offered credit deals on plane ticket bookings as well as bonus points.
Step 1. Open the checkout page on any of the Expedia sites and enter your payment. Just below "Payment Method", you will see "Redeem a Coupon". Click on it.
Step 2. On the next page, enter the coupon code. If you had opened it on a different page, it is necessary that you write it down on a piece of paper. That way you won't have to move from one page to another trying to enter it.
Step 3. Finally, click "Apply". The coupon code should be able to work that quick and easy. If it does not work, enter it again. The problem may persist. If it does, simply pick another one. With that, you will be able to enjoy the applicable discount.
One thing you should know about Expedia is that it has made it very easy for you to reach customer support. One way of doing so is going straight to the Contact Us page. Once there, you will be able to choose among topics such as flights, hotels, cars, cruise, trains, and so on. You will also have to select check-in & check-out, change & cancel, payment & receipt, booking, review & rating or review itinerary.
The good thing about Expedia is that it provides topical information on some of the things you may want to know. That includes a change in hotel booking, canceling hotel booking, and hotel booking mistakes. If that isn't helpful, you can key in your name, phone number, and the reason you wish Expedia to call you. After five minutes or so, you will get their call. For US residents, the toll-free phone number is 1-866-310-5768. International clients can call them at +1-404-728-8787. They also have a Facebook page and Twitter handle.
If you cancel your flight or hotel booking, you are eligible for a refund. As you wait for the refund, you can track its status on the Help page. Although it takes 24 hours for the refund to be processed, you may have to wait for at most 7 days for your financial institution to actualize the payment. Cancellation fees are usually deducted as the refund amount is being processed. You will receive an email with a receipt containing the refund amount. This applies to bookings for hotels, flights, cars, cruises, and trains.

Dave Chappelle Says He'll Meet with Trans Netflix Employees
Netflix Employees Walkout in Protest of Dave Chappelle Special
Dave Chappelle said he'll meet with members of the trans community over transphobic and homophobic comments made in his Netflix special The Closer.
On Monday, the comedian — who's currently on a nationwide tour — shared a video of himself on-stage denying claims that he was unwilling to meet with trans Netflix employees or other members of the trans community.
"It's been said in the press that I was invited to speak to the transgender employees of Netflix and I refused. That is not true — if they had invited me I would have accepted it," he said. "Although I am confused about what we would be speaking about."

Granted, Chappelle then went on to defend his comments by saying he "said what [he] said," while making a joke out of those advocating for a "safe working environment at Netflix" by saying, "It seems like I'm the only one that can't go to the office anymore." He also added that he would not be "summoned" and would not be "bending to anyone's demands," before listing a set of stipulations for the meeting.
"First of all, you cannot come if you have not watched my special from beginning to end. You must come to a place of my choosing at a time of my choosing," Chappelle said. He then went on to say they must also say comedian Hannah Gadsby — who recently spoke out against The Closer and Netflix's response to the controversy — was "not funny."

Chappelle then claimed "everyone [he knows from the LGBTQ+ community] has been "loving and supporting, so I don't know what all this nonsense is about," while telling fans to not "blame the LGBTQ community for any of this shit." Rather, he called the controversy a show of "corporate interests" more reflective of "what [he] can say and what [he] cannot say." He also touched on his upcoming documentary about his summer 2020 comedy tour and said it had been "disinvited" from film festivals due to the furor surrounding The Closer.
Chappelle's stand-up special has been widely criticized since its release for declaring himself "team TERF" in support of J.K. Rowling, as well as statements in which he calls gender "a fact," made fun of trans bodies and made light of past backlash surrounding his previous jokes about the LGBTQ+ community. The special was met with backlash from trans employees including software engineer, Terra Field, who was suspended alongside two other employees after crashing an executive meeting in protest of The Closer.
Following these developments, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos issued a memo stating the company would not be removing the stand-up special, citing their "long-standing deal," Chappelle's popularity and the streamer's support of "creative freedom," even if some audience members found the content "harmful."
That said, while Field was eventually reinstated, Netflix's general handling of the controversy sparked an employee walk-out and demonstration outside of its Hollywood offices last week. Additionally, the company did end up firing a pregnant Black employee — who also happened to be a main organizer of the walkout — for leaking streaming metrics related to The Closer, according to the company.
Sarandos later told The Hollywood Reporter that he "screwed up" with his initial memo, but said he was trying to communicate the "challenge" of entertaining "audiences with various taste, various sensibilities, various beliefs."
