Intelsat Survey Points to Emerging Inflight Internet Trends
By KHALI HEATHApril 01, 2021
Post-COVID Travel Should Include Better Inflight Connectivity, Survey Finds
A recent Intelsat survey points to future trends in IFC as passengers screenings and air travel begin returning to pre-COVID levels.
It's no surprise that the COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the commercial aviation industry. With global vaccination rates surging, however, airlines are optimistic that most passengers will soon return to booking both business and leisure trips. In fact, TSA daily screenings recently topped 1.5 million for the first time in almost a year, leaving airline executives very optimistic.
Intelsat recently conducted an Inflight Connectivity (IFC) survey asking airlines, service providers, and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) what they believe the future of IFC will look like. The survey aimed to gain an understanding of how inflight internet demand and service requirements have changed in light of the pandemic.
At a high level, here's what we found:
65% of respondents think there will be an increase in the number of inflight passengers who expect to be connected.
72% of respondents believe we will see increased demand for remote, work-based applications such as video conferencing, cloud computing and VPN onboard.
An overwhelming 85% of respondents anticipate an increase in appetite for cabin crew applications. Having a toolkit of connected devices can empower crew members to surprise and delight customers, fostering a personalized interaction with the help of real-time passenger insights.
These trends mirror what we're seeing at Intelsat. Airlines are thinking creatively about how they can leverage IFC to increase brand loyalty while saving on OPEX. One example is the proliferation of cloud applications for real-time maintenance and monitoring, a use case that is becoming increasingly popular with airlines.
85% of our survey respondents believe that "quality" inflight connectivity is a key differentiating factor for airlines. This expectation implies an uptick in appeal for Wi-Fi that is not only available, but also strong enough to keep up with today's digitally-savvy passengers, who expect to be able to connect, stream content and do everything at 35,000 feet they could on the ground.
According to a recent study, global online content consumption soared in 2020 with consumers almost doubling their time spent engaging with content to six hours and 59 minutes a day during the pandemic. Connected TV options like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Peacock were the main beneficiaries of this increase. With digital content consumption on the rise, airlines can see how their customers stand to benefit from a rich IFC experience.
While we see new content trends emerging during the pandemic, Intelsat survey respondents also identified top challenges preventing the average passenger from immersing themselves in content during their flight.
Wi-Fi session prices ranked as the top impediment to increasing IFC take rates, with 44% of respondents selecting this roadblock.
"Poor internet connection" ranked second.
Other options included payment friction, ease of getting connected, poor service experience, and lack of understanding of how the service works.
Airlines are evolving their IFC product offerings to better align with their business objectives. For some, this means maximizing IFC take rates, while for others the goal is to maximize revenue.
While free basic texting is offered by several airlines worldwide today, only 18% of respondents said this was their preferred IFC product offering.
Almost half of those surveyed want all passengers to browse the internet, shop online, listen to music, check emails, send large files, and stream premium content for free without constraint.
22% prefer a "freemium" model, meaning free internet access for loyalty and/or business class passengers only.
If there continues to be a shift towards free Wi-Fi, it begs the question, who will pay for it? We found that, increasingly, the expectation is that this is someone other than the passenger.
Almost two-thirds (72%) of respondents are inclined to have service expenses offset through partnerships; this could be agreements with major online retailers and social apps or even a sports streaming service like ESPN+.
As airlines continue to rebound during the pandemic, alternative distribution models can unlock new opportunities and revenue growth. We expect these models to pick up more steam as additional success stories come to light, such as the partnership seen between Intelsat's Gogo Commercial Aviation business and T-Mobile.
Not all airlines who want to offer free Wi-Fi are financially positioned to do so; instead, they may opt to first invest in free messaging and freemium models. This approach has still been shown to have a significantly positive impact on customer loyalty.
However, with consumer demand for in-flight internet expected to grow by double digits (10%) annually over the next decade, airlines are eager to develop modern ways to differentiate themselves and attract loyal customers.
So, how can airlines achieve brand loyalty without breaking the bank?
Top market analysts believe that industry vertical integration creates efficiencies and a more cost-effective, end-to-end service for airlines and that streamlined services can accelerate growth and higher IFC adoption rates.
Similarly, our survey data found overall positive sentiment towards IFC ecosystem consolidation, with 65% of respondents agreeing that industry unification leads to simplified service options.
Human connection is more important than ever. As we welcome more passengers back to the skies, we must be aware of how their needs are changing and how we can increase passenger satisfaction.
"Staying connected with others is a basic human need. At Intelsat, fulfilling this expectation is our fundamental mission. We firmly believe keeping passengers connected throughout their journey is now within reach for airlines, no matter what their IFC strategy is," said Frederik vanEssen, Vice President of Aerospace at Intelsat.

Dean Brennan's Pre-Match Thoughts
Ahead of Wealdstone's return to National League South action against Concord Rangers on Saturday afternoon, Dec O'Reilly spoke to Dean Brennan to gather the manager's thoughts ahead of hosting the Beach Boys at The Vale.
Squad update…
"Kav [Kavan Cotter] will be back training with the group next week. Hopefully he can get through full training next week and then the week after he'll be available for selection.
"We're hoping [Ryan] Sellers can be back with the group in two weeks and could be available for selection in three weeks, we'll see how it goes.
"Oxo [Aston Oxborough] is four-to-five weeks away. George [McLennan] is going to get his pins taken out in the next couple of weeks, I spoke to his yesterday [Wednesday] and kept in regular contact; hopefully that will all be successful and start working towards getting fit in the New Year."
On training following Tuesday's postponement…
"We had a practice game at training on Tuesday night with really good tempo and competitiveness. We played a seventy-minute game and we were happy with how it went; a couple of trialists were involved who impressed us.
"After we train like that, we've got to take that into the game when the opposition will try to stop you. I was happy with training [on Tuesday] and tonight [Thursday] we have a quiz night after training which is great for team bonding.
"Eighty percent of the guys usually do that anyway, but tonight everyone in the squad is going to it. The long away trips are great for team bonding when we do a bit of karaoke and we've not had one since the start of October.
"We've got a good bunch of lads that the coaching staff, the club, the supporters and I all believe in. We need to keep working hard and keeping that togetherness, we can't let results get in our way of our togetherness because we've created it and it's very difficult to build that."
On the month we've had…
"November hasn't been an ideal month for us, we've had four games cancelled and football can change very quickly either on a positive or a negative result.
"We're at home on Saturday, we'll attack it on the front-foot, bring energy into our game and the team will be freshened up."
On Concord Rangers…
"Concord [Rangers] will sit in, they have a lot of pace on the break. They play four-five-one with a [number] ten and they've scored a lot of goals from their three-man central midfield area.
"They have a couple of lads on loan from Huddersfield, obviously the Cowley brothers used to manage Concord a few seasons ago so have loaned them some players.
"Looking at their bench on Tuesday [against Slough Town], they had the likes of Danny Green, Lee Minshull and [Decarrey] Sheriff who are good players for our level.
"They have that strength in depth within their squad now and you can see that in their results. They've only lost one of their last five games which is strong form and their last six fixtures have all been against sides in the top seven. They've scored against all of them and come out of those with good results, that's a warning in itself.
"They are a good side and Concord [Rangers] have always had that togetherness, they are an established Conference South team. It's going to be a difficult game, they have good players and good pace that can hurt any team."
On the challenge of Saturday and bouncing back…
"We're looking forward to the challenge, you've got to enjoy these moments and enjoy this challenge. You've got to enjoy sticking your chest out, enjoy working hard for each other [and] we all have to do it.
"We need to give our supporters something to sing about. We're going to have downs, that's part of life. The components we've got to get right are the management team, the players, the board and the supporters, those four all have to stick together.
"That creates a community, a positive environment and togetherness; we've got to make sure we're all singing from the same hymn sheet and making sure we strive towards three points.
"We'll be looking for another positive result [this weekend], we've had so many this year. We're looking forward to see how we respond from the two defeats on the bounce, it's an exciting challenge."

MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS BOOK
After reading Crossing The Line last year, it was real fun meeting again chief of police Nico Sirsky and his team in The City of Blood. Famous French author Frédérique Molay has a real knack for making her thrillers irresistible page-turners, plus you learn a lot about Paris, here about Parc de la Villette, and a rather unique form of art.
"Daniel Spoerri is a Swiss artist and writer born 1930 in Romania. He is best known for his "snare-pictures," a type of assemblage or object art, in which he captures a group of objects, such as the remains of meals eaten by individuals, including the plates, silverware and glasses, all of which are fixed to the table or board, which is then displayed on a wall." (source: wikipedia).
His work inspired this thriller: 30 years ago, artist Samuel Cassian invited 120 guests (artists, journalists, politicians) to put an end to his "snare-pictures". He decided to have all the remains of their meal buried in a park, to be dug up later, as a time capsule. Now time has come for the excavation, but among the remains and the silverware, a body is found.
Samuel's son disappeared just a week after that special reception, so could it be his body? But why? And what could possibly be the connection with the series of murders of young homosexuals happening now in the same park, if there's any?
I really loved the suspense, as suspects multiply with each new murder and each new clue.
But on top of the plot, what I really enjoy in Molay's books is the details and the ambiance. Here, she did an amazing job with the setting of Parc de la Villette. From 1867 (until Napoleon III) until 1974, the area was a center of slaughterhouses, a so-called City of Blood. Then it became a wasteland until it was converted into a park for leisure, culture, and recreation, currently very alive.
I guess that was a good idea to use this as the title of this thriller, but the French title was really cool: Déjeuner sous l'herbe (The Luncheon under the Grass), awesome for the meal buried and great play on words with the famous painting by Monet, The Luncheon on the Grass. It pains me that maybe the translator thought American lovers of thrillers would not have enough culture to get it. As a translator myself, I wondered what other solution I could have chosen, and I came up with a cultural reference that should for sure resonate with American readers: As I Lay Eating. What do you think?
But to go back to the book, there's a very interesting double plot going on with Anya, Nico's mother. She suffered a heart attack. Through this ordeal, he experiences the fear and pain that Samuel may be going through, if it happens that the dead man was his son. Nico makes a deal with God to do all he can to identify the victim's killer and in return to have his mother recover. That was an unexpected dimension that I really enjoyed, and it really gave lots of depth to the character of Nico. As an Orthodox believer myself, it was doubly neat to hear about Nico's Orthodox upbringing and go with him revisit the Saint Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute in Paris (founded in 1925). Seriously, I would never have imagined hearing about this awesome place in a thriller/crime fiction!
But if you need a counter-balance, keep in mind that Nico had also to visit gay nightclubs to get clues on the killer! Quite an interesting mix, isn't it?
And of course you have all the details about the French police system, and the work of each participant, be it the criminal psychologist, the public prosecutor, or the guys in charge of forensics anthropology. Fascinating how much you can learn about a person just by observing his/her bones! The scene of the autopsy was also fascinating, but quite gruesome…
VERDICT: Choosing a famous park in Paris as her setting, famous French writer Frédérique Molay assigns another intriguing crime investigation to chief of police Nico Sirsky. Mix blood, art, and even religion, and you have an irresistible page-turner.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT
When a major Parisian modern art event gets unexpected attention on live TV, Chief of Police Nico Sirsky and his team of elite crime fighters rush to La Villette park and museum complex. There, renowned artist Samuel Cassian is inaugurating the first archeological dig of modern art, twenty-seven years after burying the leftovers of a banquet. In front of reporters from around the world, excavators uncover a skeleton. Could it be the artist's own son? And does that death have anything to do with the current string of nightclub murders by the "Paris Butcher"? On the site of the French capital's former slaughterhouses, the investigation takes Nico and France's top criminal investigation division from artists' studios to autopsy theaters and nightclubs in hopes of tracking down the murderer who has turned this Paris park into a city of blood.

Hey Emma, what a great idea for a title. The title choice is always a tough one. We were rather certain that our readers would understand the reference to the painting, but it just didn't have the same ring in English, so we took another path.
Thanks. It does make sense for the feel, right. As I'm getting deeper in fiction translation (I'm in my 4th novel), I do realize translating the title is one of the toughest thing to do, but I like the challenge, and sometimes ideas come when you least expect them. The other day, I was just walking around, not at all thinking consciously about my current translation assignment, and boom, something just came banging in my head. The whole experience was actually quite surprising

Q: deep-copying a generator in python I'm using a generator function, say:
def foo():
    i=0
    while (i<10):
         i+=1
         yield i

Now, I would like the option to copy the generator after any number of iterations, so that the new copy will retain the internal state (will have the same 'i' in the example) but will now be independent from the original (i.e. iterating over the copy should not change the original).
I've tried using copy.deepcopy but I get the error:
 "TypeError: object.__new__(generator) is not safe, use generator.__new__()"

Obviously, I could solve this using regular functions with counters for example.
But I'm really looking for a solution using generators.

A: The comment for itertools.tee was my first guess as well.  Because of the warning that you shouldn't advance the original generator any longer after using tee, I might write something like this to spin off a copy:
>>> from itertools import tee
>>>
>>> def foo():
...   i = 0
...   while i < 10:
...     i += 1
...     yield i
...
>>>
>>> it = foo()
>>> it.next()
1
>>> it, other = tee(it)
>>> it.next()
2
>>> other.next()
2

A: There are three cases I can think of:

*

*Generator has no side effects, and you just want to be able to walk back through results you've already captured. You could consider a cached generator instead of a true generator. You can shared the cached generator around as well, and if any client walks to an item you haven't been to yet, it will advance. This is similar to the tee() method, but does the tee functionality in the generator/cache itself instead of requiring the client to do it.

*Generator has side effects, but no history, and you want to be able to restart anywhere. Consider writing it as a coroutine, where you can pass in the value to start at any time.

*Generator has side effects AND history, meaning that the state of the generator at G(x) depends on the results of G(x-1), and so you can't just pass x back into it to start anywhere. In this case, I think you'd need to be more specific about what you are trying to do, as the result depends not just on the generator, but on the state of other data. Probably, in this case, there is a better way to do it.

Jack Nicklaus bullish on Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy
Jack Nicklaus believes Tiger Woods could still surpass his majors record if he stays healthy. File photo by Brian Kersey/UPI | License Photo
--Jack Nicklaus, the greatest golfer of all time, recently spoke with reporters about Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, two players the Golden Bear believes have a chance to one day surpass him.
Woods, who turned 41 last week, has 14 major titles and in 2017 will resume his chase of Nicklaus' record of 18 after missing roughly 14 months because of two back procedures.
"I've always thought that he's got at least another 10 years of good competitive golf in front of him, if he's healthy and as talented as he is," Nicklaus said. "I don't think anything is safe.
" ... I would think he'll do all right. He'll play well. I don't think the injuries are going to be a big issue for him. The biggest issue is going to be between his ears, how does he mentally get back in the game?"
Nicklaus, who won the 1986 Masters at age 46, also noticed that Woods spent much of his time off immersing himself more deeply in his golf course design business and spending time with his children. He believes that will help Tiger in the next phase of his career.
It's a page right out of the Golden Bear's book.
"I always did what I had to do," said Nicklaus, a prolific course designer. "If my day was filled up with golf, it would be a boring day for me. I needed more stimulation. I think business and my family and some things I did on the outside created my away time, so that when I came back to play golf, then I really focused on it.
"If golf was all I had, I would have gotten lazy with it. I tried to be very efficient."
McIlroy, 27, has claimed four major titles but has run into a bit of a dry spell since winning the 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla.
The native of Northern Ireland will make his third bid to complete the Career Grand Slam at the Masters in April, and Nicklaus believes Rory has to take his game to another level to be truly great.
"He has won and played on his talent to this point," Nicklaus said. "If he wishes to dominate and go forward, then he's got to improve. He has to work hard, he's got to focus on what he is trying to do and it is up to him. Certainly he has all the tools to be able to do it -- it is just whether he has the desire and the willingness to give up some other things.
"Whether he wants to be the greatest player to have played the game, that's his determination and it's his decision whether he wants to make that effort to try to do that."
As for the Masters: "He certainly has the type of game that would do well at Augusta and he has done well before -- he just hasn't finished it," Nicklaus said. "He'll win it. He's a good player."
The question is, can McIlroy or Woods surpass Nicklaus as the G.O.A.T. in their sport?
--Phil Mickelson, apparently recovering quickly from a second hernia surgery, committed to the Farmers Insurance Open, which starts Jan. 26 at Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla.
Lefty, a native of San Diego, has won his hometown event three times. In fact, of his 42 PGA Tour victories, 16 have come in California and Arizona, where he also is a fan favorite because he played at Arizona State.
The 46-year-old Mickelson underwent hernia surgery on Oct. 19, a few days after he tied for eighth in the Safeway Open at Silverado in Napa, Calif. His management team announced that he underwent a follow-up procedure recently.
There was no word on whether or not Lefty could play the week before the Farmers in the CareerBuilder Challenge at PGA West in La Quinta, where he often starts his season.
Mickelson has won the California Desert event twice and has said he will be on hand even if he does not play, having recently taken over for former President Bill Clinton as ambassador of the event.
Jim (Bones) Mackay, Lefty's longtime caddie, underwent knee replacement surgery in October and has said he believes he will be ready to go whenever Mickelson starts his season.
Top-ranked Jason Day of Australia, No. 3 Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler and Justin Rose of England also have committed to the Farmers Insurance Open.
--Famed Cypress Point Club in Pebble Beach will host the 50th Walker Cup matches in 2025, the United States Golf Association announced.
The Walker Cup, which dates to 1922, has been played only twice in California, including when Corey Pavin of Oxnard and UCLA helped lead the United States to victory over Great Britain & Ireland in 1981.
The classic course at Cypress Point, designed by legendary Alister MacKenzie, features one of the most famous holes in the world -- the par-3 16th.
The USGA also announced that the 2021 Walker Cup will be played at Seminole Golf Club, designed by Donald Ross, in Juno Beach, Fla. The site of the 2023 matches in the United Kingdom or Ireland has yet to be announced.
"The selections of Seminole Golf Club and Cypress Point Club as Walker Cup venues are emblematic of what George Herbert Walker intended when he helped create the first match in 1922," said Stuart Francis, USGA Championship Committee chairman.
"To have two of the United States' greatest courses as host sites will not only produce memorable competitions but reinforces the stature of amateur golf in this country."
The 2017 matches will be played at Los Angeles Country Club, which also will host the 2023 U.S. Open, and the 2019 Walker Cup will be hosted by Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, England.
The United States holds a 35-9-1 lead in the Walker Cup matches, having won four of five before Great Britain & Ireland won 16 1/2-9 1/2 last year at Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, England.
--Beth Allen of San Diego became the first golfer from the United States to capture the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit title in the 38-year history of the organization on the strength of two victories in 2016.
The 35-year-old Allen also earned the LET's Player of the Year award and received both trophies at the tour's annual awards dinner before the season-ending Omega Dubai Ladies Masters
"I love this tour and I'm so grateful to be part of it," said Allen, who played college golf at Cal State Northridge. "Winning this means so much to me, especially because it's voted for by the members.
"In 2008, I joined the LET as a struggling tour pro with the desire to travel and I thought, 'What a great idea! I can play golf and I write off all of my travel expenses while seeing the world.' What I didn't expect was for the tour to inspire me to become a better player. Now, many countries, a few wins and lots of laughs later, I'm standing up here as the first American ever to win the Order of Merit and I'm so proud of that achievement."
Allen, who has secured her LPGA Tour card for next season, captured the Lacoste Ladies Open de France and the inaugural Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in Abu Dhabi in consecutive events and posted six other top-10 finishes, including second in the Andalucia Costa del Sol Open de Espana.
Allen, whose only other LET victory came in the 2015 ISPS Handa Ladies European Masters at Buckinghamshire Golf Club near London, owns a home in Edinburgh, Scotland, and plans to play both tours in 2017.
--A letter filed by the Department of Justice claims an FBI agent leaked confidential information regarding the insider trading probe of PGA star Phil Mickelson and gambler Billy Walters to the media during the investigation.
U.S. attorney Preet Bharara said the agent admitted giving information to reporters from the New York Times and Wall Street Journal for seven articles published between May 30, 2014, and June 23, 2014.
Those articles, which the letter said contained "sensitive and confidential details, including trades being examined, records being analyzed, the name of an individual approached by the FBI and the supposed targets of the investigation," led to Walters and Thomas C. Davis, a former executive for Dean Foods, being indicted.
Walters' trial is scheduled to start July 29 in New York.
"The agent further admitted that, prior to his Dec. 6 interview, he had hidden those communications with the press from both the U.S. Attorney's Office and others within the FBI," Bharara said.
The letter claims the agent was reported to the FBI's Office of Professional responsibility, and the issue was brought to the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Justice.
Mickelson was not charged but agreed to repay more than $1 million of "ill-gotten gains" from stock trades he and Walters made on Dean Foods in 2011.
--Tiger Woods played a round of golf with President-elect Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., during the Christmas holidays, according to media reports.
Woods, who returned to competitive golf early this month at the Hero World Challenge, and Trump played in a foursome with two club members, according to Golf Digest.
In February 2013, Woods joined President Obama for a round at the Floridian Yacht and Golf Club in Palm City, Fla.
Trump, who according to Golf Digest carries a 2.8 handicap, presented the trophy to Woods after he won the 2013 WGC-Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral in Miami.
Woods returned from a 15-month layoff after two back procedures and tied for 15th in the 18-player field at the Hero World Challenge at Albany Resort in the Bahamas.
Tiger's next scheduled tournament is the Genesis Open in February at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, near Los Angeles. The event benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation and he is the tournament host.

Welcome to Healthy Little Peach! Thank you so much for stopping by. My name is Ashley McCrary, but go by, "Mac," a teacher by day, and a health and lifestyle blogger by night based in Missouri. I am the wife to a handsome, loving human, Joel, and a mother to a fierce and strong girl-dragon, Eloise.
Before getting pregnant I was 30 pounds overweight and gained an additional 30 pounds during my pregnancy. After giving birth, I couldn't grasp the reality of what the number on the scale was showing. I was tired, really tired, both physically and mentally, I knew it was time to not just "diet" but to make an overall lifestyle change. After reading and conducting a lot of research, I FINALLY found the answer I had been searching for my entire life. Melissa and Dallas Hartwig's book It Starts With Food and the documentary Food Inc changed everything. I finally understood what it meant to be healthy. Health doesn't come from a 2 week diet or eating a healthy meal once a week, it comes from consistency and TRUE change. So guess what I did? I changed. I changed my mind and I changed my life.
Over the past 3 years, my focus and passion has been adopting and adhering to the Paleo and Whole 30 lifestyle. I have lost 80 pounds and am healthier than I have ever been in my life. Not only am I healthy, but I'm happy. My relationship with food is more positive and I use food as fuel and not as a reward. Do I still have days of struggle, absolutely, am I human? YES!
This lifestyle change has been the best decision not only for me, but also, my family. My husband has been right by my side and has completed many rounds of Whole 30 and loves the grain free and dairy free lifestyle. It has has lead us in the direction of finally figuring out what works to achieve overall health and wellness, and ultimately, food freedom.
I love your blog but I also must have your fabulous off the shoulder white top! Where is it from????

19 Disney Plus Christmas movies to make you feel festive, cosy and nostalgic
Escapism at its finest.
By Sophie Cockett
We don't mean to panic you, but Christmas one week away. Yep, we know - how did that sneak up so quick? Alongside that, though, we're finding ourselves feeling uncertain - again - as to whether or not there will be a repeat of last year. In the midst of all that, we're reaching for everything comforting and nostalgic to soothe our anxiety and put us back in the festive spirit. Think crafting, puzzles, and Disney. ALL the Disney.
The ultimate antidote to Covid-19 and Omicron-induced stress (tried and tested), watching Disney Plus Christmas movies is a comforting and helpful aid in forgetting about the (terrifying) state of the real world. So, you'll find us in front of Disney+ (the home of every Disney film, TV show and documentary imaginable) for the foreseeable.
2021's Christmas TV offering is pretty spectacular – here are the best shows, films and festive specials to watch this year
It just so happens that Disney Plus - the brand's streaming service which launched in the UK last year - is absolutely inundated with Christmas films. Since the festive season is upon us, it seems only fitting to watch one a night.
But before we grace you with all of the best Christmas films on Disney Plus, you're probably wondering how much the privilege of having them all at your fingertips will set you back.
Disney+, the streaming service which launched in the UK earlier this year, boasts an impressive catalogue of nostalgic films and TV shows and documentaries to enjoy for just £5.99 per month or £59.99 per year. This makes it just as cheap as other entertainment streaming services in the UK - Netflix's cheapest plan starts at £5.99 per month while Amazon Prime is £7.99 per month.
Sign up and you'll have access to a library of all the Disney magic in one place, including Christmas classics such as Home Alone, The Santa Clause, Disney's A Christmas Carol and many more.
These are the best Christmas films on Netflix for the festive countdown, from The Princess Switch 3 to Love Hard
So, without further ado, here are all the best Disney Plus Christmas movies to make you feel festive, nostalgic and distract you from the outside world.
Disney Plus Christmas Movies: Home Alone
It's a classic. Home Alone sees The McCallister family head off on a Christmas holiday, but panic sets in when they realise they've left their 8-year-old son home alone.
Disney+ Christmas Films: Home Alone 2 Lost In New York
If you thought Home Alone 1 was bad enough, when Kevin's parents left him in their family house while they flew to Paris for Christmas, then you'll be shocked by Lost In New York. Kevin accidentally boards the wrong flight and ends up in New York instead of Florida, where he runs into some old enemies.
Disney Plus Christmas Movies: The Santa Clause
Scott Calvin - played by Tim Allen - accidentally kills Santa on Christmas Eve before discovering he has magically grown a big white beard and a big belly. He has transformed into Santa. How will he explain that to his friends and family?
Christmas Carol Disney+
This animated version of the Charles Dickens classic stars the likes of Jim Carrey and Colin Firth. It's a great watch, if a little scary.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
While playing hide and seek, Lucy and her siblings find a wardrobe that take them to a magical, mystical place called Narnia where winter never ends. They realise that it was fated and they must now unite with Aslan to defeat an evil queen.
In the second instalment, we see Scott Calvin a decade after he transformed into Santa (he's still at it), but his job is in jeopardy.
Disney+ Christmas Films: 101 Dalmatians
101 Dalmatians is set in the winter with scenes of snow, so is technically a Christmas film by our books. It's the perfect sort of film to watch when you've grown a bit bored of the usual festive sorts.
Disney+ Christmas Films: Noelle
Kris Kringle's daughter Noelle is full of Christmas spirit and holiday fun, but wishes she could do something "important" like her brother Nick, who will take over for their father for Christmas. Nick is training to be Santa, but is failing miserably. When Nick is about to crumble, Noelle suggests he take a break and get away to clear his head... but he doesn't return. Starring Anna Kendrick as Noelle Kringle.
In The Santa Claus 3: The Escape Clause, Santa Claus works to try and stop Jack Frost from sabotaging Christmas.
Disney Plus Christmas Movies: I'll Be Home For Christmas
Estranged from his father, college student Jake is lured home to New York for Christmas with the promise of receiving a classic Porsche as a gift.
Disney Plus Christmas Movies: Frozen
Queen Elsa is so upset when she accidentally transforms her kingdom into a bitter winter that she runs away. Will her sister, Anna, be able to get her back?
Disney+ Christmas Films: Frozen 2
In the sequel, Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven embark on an adventure to find out where Queen Elsa's magic powers came from.
Disney Plus Christmas Movies: The Nightmare Before Christmas
Is it a Christmas film? Or, is it a Halloween film? It's an argument that we'll always have, but either way, it deserves a watch this time of year.
Christmas Carol Disney+: The Muppet Christmas Carol
Another retelling of the Charles Dickens classic, The Muppet Christmas Carol is up there with the best of them. It's the perfect mix of funny and serious.
12 Dates of Christmas
Kate, a young woman who re-lives the same first date on Christmas Eve over and over again, attempts to win back her ex-boyfriend, before ruining her blind date with Miles, a handsome guy she's been set up with. Will she get things right after being given the chance to re-live Christmas Eve 12 times?
Christmas Carol Disney+: Mickey's Christmas Carol
In this rendition of A Christmas Carol, the classic Disney animated characters play the iconic roles and retell the story of the Charles Dickens masterpiece.
Disney+ Christmas Films: Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas
A Christmas themed, three-part anthology-style video that you will love no matter your age. The first part, "Donald Duck: Stuck on Christmas", is followed by "A Very Goofy Christmas", in which Goofy tries to overcome his son's skepticism about Santa Claus. Finally, "Mickey & Minnie's Gift Of The Magi" recreates the classic tale of ironic Christmas selflessness.
Beauty And The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas
Belle prepares for Christmas despite Beast's strong dislike for all things festive. Forte, the pipe organ, schemes to trick Belle into leaving the castle, as he thinks her attempts might end the curse.
Disney Plus Christmas Movies: Olaf's Frozen Adventure
Olaf and Sven embark on a mission to visit every household in the kingdom of Arendelle to find a new Christmas tradition for Queen Elsa and Anna.

The Hallmark Channel has purred its intentions to launch a three-hour-long Kitten Bowl in 2014. The super adorable and tiny sports event will run opposite Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl and will also include a cat agility contest during which teeny, tiny baby kitties will stumble and tumble their way through an obstacle course, spurred on only by shiny, scary things like laser pointers and toys on strings. There's no purr yet on whether or not it will have a puppy halftime show, hedgehog cheerleaders, or a sassy referee.
As with the Puppy Bowl, all contenders will be rescued from animal shelters and will be available for adoption. It will be produced in part by the American Humane Association.

It's curious, the unexpected impact teachers can have in our lives. How they shape our experiences, our perspectives, our choices. I had one teacher who was a sadistic bully. He used his power punitively to evoke terror. As children, we felt fearful and powerless before him. It galvanised within me a later commitment to civil rights, to defend the oppressed from powerful oppressors.
I had other teachers who opened up the world to us. One was French, attractive with a sweet accent. She believed in me and fuelled my interest in languages. Another was English but taught us German. He showed us photographs from his visits and evoked a sense of adventure, an exciting world beyond our horizons of experience. He inspired me to explore abroad.
I had another teacher who protected me. I switched classes without permission and, when an angry tutor came to check where I was, this teacher covered for me. It was a moment of unexpected and undeserved grace. He put himself at risk in order to protect me from punishment. It taught me to step out for others, to put myself on the line to protect those who are vulnerable.
One teacher had a passion for language. He could create magic with words, enabled us to capture and express ideas with creativity and precision. He enabled and inspired me to write, to play with words, to reach for excellence. I had another English teacher who toyed with us, manipulated the class for his own entertainment. He taught me to avoid misuse of position.
In all these cases, I was influenced as much by the person as the subject. It was the people who shaped my world, fanned my passions into flame or served of warnings of what to avoid. In particular, I learned important lessons about power and humility, the power to liberate and the potential to abuse. Central issues in Christian faith and important lessons for leadership.


I was speaking to the father of one of my sons' best friends the other day. As it turns out, the father is also one of my close friends. His older son is graduating high school and will be heading off to college in a few months. He wishes to study aeronautic engineering, and schools that specialize in this field are pretty pricey.
He told me that he is too wealthy to be poor and too poor to be wealthy. In other words, he's just above the threshold for his son to qualify for low income assistance, so student loans are what they are left with. And that's okay. He doesn't expect anyone else to pay for his son's education.
It's just a shame that his son isn't an illegal alien. I suggested he and his son fly down to Tijuana, Mexico, drop him off, have the kid walk across the border, claim DREAMer status, and he'll be all set.
If, we'll call him Julio, picks the right state and the right school, he's virtually home free. And if he needs help in how to achieve this, he may read a US News article from 2014 entitled "How Immigrants without Legal Status Can Pay for College."
Notice they are careful to describe them as immigrants without legal status, rather than what they are - illegals. Only once, in this relatively lengthy post is the word illegal mentioned.
Good news for Julio - for the article begins by stating that "Scholarships, state aid and tuition payment plans can help make college a financial reality for some immigrant students."
To start, 18 states allow illegals to pay in-state tuition and "students living in California, Texas, New Mexico, Minnesota and Washington are also eligible for state-based financial aid…"
Uh-oh, Rick Perry - weren't you Gov. of Texas for quite a long time? Hmmm. Your state has been doling out aid to illegals for almost a decade.
Anyway, there is a key to getting free money from the American taxpayers, according to Alejandra Rincon, author of Undocumented Students and Higher Education: Si Se Puede.
"It's important for students to be informed and persistent. Bottom line, if they are in a state that has in-state tuition, the key thing is to not take no for an answer," Rincon says.
There are also organizations, like "United We Dream" and "Educators for Fair Consideration" which "publish resources for students without legal status." And it gets better. DreamUS is a "$32 million scholarship fund established in February 2014, which awards scholarships of up to $25,000 to immigrant students with temporary resident status."
States also have their own DREAM funds, like the Illinois Dream fund. It's good that Illinois can do this, being that as of 2014, their total state debt was only $321 billion.
So Julio might be in good shape, and, if he's lucky, he may achieve what Cesar Vargas of New York (by way of somewhere other than the United States) did. He is "the Empire State's first undocumented immigrant to gain a law license after an Appeals Court, Wednesday found 'no legal impediment or rational basis for withholding the privilege of practicing law in the state of New York from undocumented immigrants who have been granted DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] relief."
Well that's great! We need another attorney in America. I wonder what type of law he will specialize in. "As a lawyer, I'm going to have more power to help people to confront and fix broken legal systems that our community faces every day," he says.
Wow - couldn't have seen that one coming. So Vargas is still technically an illegal alien, who now has a license to practice law in the state of New York, to advocate and harass the American legal system, and to allow more illegals in, give them free stuff and an education, so they can become lawyers to advocate for more illegals.
Awesome! How stupid are we?

Twitter's stock closed 20.5% on Friday after the company announced it lost 1 million active users. More user loss is predicted.
Twitter also announced that its revenue is up 24 percent this year, and the company posted a record profit of $100 million. Turns out Kremlin bots and MAGA Nazis are profitable.
It's been a bad week for social media stocks. Facebook shares took a bloodbath just yesterday after announcing missed growth and revenue goals.
Twitter and Facebook rose with the tide of Russia's social-media-driven information warfare campaign. Social media companies are now suffering the consequences, as they and the rest of us deal with the fallout.
On Friday, Twitter disclosed that its number of monthly users dropped in the second quarter.
The company said the total number of active users might fall more, as the social media service kills off 'fake' accounts that include thousands of Russian military disinformation bots that helped Donald Trump become President of the United States.
Twitter shares are closed at around 20.5% at the end of the trading week. Before Friday, Twitter was still a darling: its stock had risen 79% in 2018.
"We see health as a growth factor for us over the long term," CEO Jack Dorsey said on the Twitter call today, and framed the bad accounts purge as a security issue.
"We don't think this work will ever be done — it doesn't have an endpoint," he said.
Twitter said the number of monthly active users world-wide fell by a million from three months ago to 335 million, the first drop since the second quarter of 2017.
Despite the decline, Twitter posted its third-consecutive quarterly profit—after years of losses—which the company attributed to its momentum with advertisers.
Social-media companies have faced public scrutiny over privacy concerns and fake accounts, particularly in light of the revelations of Russian disinformation efforts during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Facebook has been plowing money into hiring people to better police activity on the platform, and it warned investors that quarterly revenue growth could continue to decline over the rest of the year. Until then, Facebook had shown few business effects from the negative headlines that have dogged it in recent months.
Twitter attributed its drop in monthly users largely to its efforts at "improving the health of the public conversation" on the platform. It also cited Europe's tough new privacy law, as well as a move away from contracts in some markets where people receive tweets through texts. Combined, the three factors erased more than 3 million monthly users in the quarter.

Protesters Demand Fair Trial For Jailed Kazakh Rights Activist
Yevgeny Zhovtis in a Kazakh courtroom
Protesters held a rally at Kazakhstan's Embassy in Moscow on September 14 in support of jailed Kazakh rights activist Yevgeny Zhovtis, RFE/RL's Kazakh Service reports.
The dozen protesters called on the Kazakh government to ensure conditions for Zhovtis's fair trial in a written appeal addressed to Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbaev.
Zhovtis, the director of the Kazakh NGO Bureau for Human Rights, was sentenced to four years in prison on manslaughter and traffic violation charges after his car struck and killed a man in July.
The United States, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), and Human Rights Watch have called on Kazakh authorities to void or revise Zhovtis's sentence, which they consider unfair.
Zhovtis had spoken to the OSCE about the poor human rights situation in Kazakhstan shortly before the traffic accident.
The Moscow protest was organized by the International Committee on Due Course of Law and Youth Human Rights Movement.
Kyrgyz opposition activists are planning to hold a rally in support of Zhovtis on September 16 in front of the Kazakh Embassy in Bishkek.

Trek to Base Camp

Travel to Kathmandu
I flew from Denver to San Francisco, Tokyo, Bangkok to Kathmandu to start my Everest expedition. Four airplanes, four countries and 48 hours later I checked into my hotel in Kathmandu!
All Everest Nepal expeditions start with a flight to Lukla then a 9 day trek stopping at Sherpa villages like Namche each night. Yaks and porters carry the heavy gear while the climbers enjoy the views and get used to the altitude.
2,000 feet of frozen ice, the Icefall is the first obstacle to the summit of Everest.
Many ladders are used to cross deep crevasses or high ice cliffs. But climbers can also rappel down instead of taking ladders as shown in this clip.
Finally we look at Camp 2 just above the top of the Icefall and at the end of the Western Cwm .
Lhotse Face & Camp 3
Lhotse is the 4th highest mountain on Earth at 27,939' and sits next to Everest. Camp 3 in at 23,500' is on the face
It was very windy but not a lot of new snow as shown this video but it shows how harsh the conditions can be at times.
South Col at 8000 meters
Camp 4 is set on the South Col, the saddle between Everest and Lhotse. It is the beginning of the 'Death Zone' at 8000 meters or 25,500 feet. The summit bid starts from here about 9:00 at night and last for 12 to 18 hours with climbers returning late the next afternoon.
This video is taken from the South Col and pans up towards the route. You can see the Balcony at 27,500' and the South Summit at 28,700' on the left.

K2 Panorama
The Karakorum Highway or KKH is one of the most famous roads in the world. It took 20 years to build and was finished in 1986 at a high human cost of 810 Pakistani and 82 Chinese workers.
The road is mostly paved but is subject to landslides and has incredibly steep banks to the fast flowing rivers below. It is quite a ride and took two days to reach our destination.
Askole is the last village before the Baltoro Glacier. You must take special 4-wheel drive jeeps along incredibly rough 'roads'. Rock slides are common along the way.
The High Altitude Porters (HAPs) of Pakistan get very excited about a summit. This video is of the greeting and celebration for our Broad Peak climbers.
K2 is the 2nd highest mountain at 28,250'. This video was taken from Concordia (the end of the Baltoro Glacier) and from our Broad Peak Base Camp.

Orizaba
Aconcagua Summit
Aconcagua is the highest mountain in South America and one of the 7 Summits. have summitted twice - 2005 and 2008 via the False Polish Traverse route.
Aconcagua has a mixed reputation as a 'slag heap' and a challenging climb depending on your experience. I found it a fun climb a great way to gain high altitude experience without all the Himalayan hassles.
Stuck on Denali
Mt. McKinley or officially Denali is the highest mountain in North America and also one of the 7 Summits.
I have attempted it twice via the West Buttress route. This video shows the route and what happens when weather stops everyone at the Ranger Camp at 14,000'.
Orizaba Summit
This Mexican volcano is the 3rd highest peak in North America after Denali and Mt. Logan in Canada.
It is a simple climb with only one camp above a small hut. The views from the summit crater are incredible!
Rainier Summit
Mt. Rainier is another volcano climb in the US State of Washington. This video is of my climb with 8 friends in 2004.

I have always embraced each and every milestone with my first born. I was so proud that he could count to twenty before his second birthday. I was over the moon that he learnt to read so quickly and I celebrate that he still continues to devour books. The first day of pre-school and his subsequent "graduation" moved me to happy tears. His years throughout primary school were successful and he showed a natural aptitude to academics. His transition to high school went very smoothly.
Then came puberty..... I accepted this milestone with ease and I grinned with amusement when it was no longer cool to be naked around the parents. I gently rubbed his face after his first shave and swallowed back that huge lump in my throat at the realisation of how fast 16 years have flown by! I am delighted with his first girlfriend. I love his friends and openly welcome them into our home (and ensure that the fridge is stocked up with food!).
My first born has two and a half years left of high school and then it will be time for him to spread his wings. It is not a milestone that I look forward to; however, it will be one that I acknowledge with grace.
My second born is a completely different story!!
From the moment I realised that something was going on with my boy, I became super sensitive to milestones and the fact that he wasn't walking along a typical developmental pathway. Throw autism into the mix and milestones went for a loop de loop! Oh, how I cried over delayed crawling, walking, climbing, playing and lack of interaction (for some strange reason the lack of speech has never bothered me!). I sobbed my eyes out that mainstream schooling wasn't working for him. The day that he was due to join his big brother at big school was gut wrenching. I watched the new kids bounce into their new classrooms and I cried ugly tears that my little boy would not be joining them.
I constantly compared my boy to other children and it hurt badly. Each milestone became a burden to bear, a reminder that my child was not like other children his age. The gap widened quickly and my boy was left behind. I dreaded each birthday because it meant another year had gone by and that there was less hope of catching up to his peers. Damn milestones!
Eventually, I had to re-adjust my thinking and come to terms with my child's development (or lack thereof!). For the sake of my own wellness I had to move on.... I had to stop thinking about where my boy should be and think about where he is now!
The change of focus has helped me tremendously. I have let go of the weight that sat upon my shoulders. I feel free to accept my boy as he is. I have waved goodbye to that pressure of getting my boy to perform. I no longer compare him with his peers. I now take great delight in every little accomplishment, no matter how small it may be.
My boy is reaching his milestones.... the early ones that he missed out on! They may not be the same milestones as his peers, however, they are his own and that is what is important!
As for me, the next biggie is the day that my son turns 13...... bring it on!!!!
Di originates from New Zealand and now resides in South Africa. She is a middle aged mum who tries not to take life too seriously. She loves a daily cappuccino, reading chick lit and playing online scrabble! Di blogs at The Bright Side of Life.
My children are not the same age as yours, but I get you all the way. It's hard to accept the truth about your child, but it is the best thing to do.
THEY ARE HIS OWN!! Going back and giving him that chance!! So excited as always to see Nick and MUM continue to *accomplish*!
Such a cheering post Di. Although the gap between our special needs children & their peers widens as they get older, don't you think that, conversely, we become more accepting?
@Becky ~ It is very touch in those early days! Thank you for your kind words.


1.1 Which are the types of crossbow you should get to meet your needs?
1.5 Where can you get Crossbow fixed and bought its ammo?
A crossbow has become a trendy choice for the new as well as the experienced bow hunters. They offer a very short learning curve and also a high precision accuracy. This is such an excellent feature for the bow hunting and is such a fantastic way to be able to have a little fun with archery. Before you can start bow hunting with the crossbow, please check that the local, as well as state regulations regarding the crossbow, have been approved before hunting. The equipment specification varies from state to state.
Which are the types of crossbow you should get to meet your needs?
There is no doubt that the crossbows have considerably evolved to become some of the best machines. Many people usually love where they have a wide variety from which they can be able to choose from. While original models have been built for the war, modern day crossbows provide various functions which include the target practice, harvesting fat from the whales and tagging marine life, in this article, we will discuss the various types which have been designed for hunting. Diverse kinds of bows which are available in the market today do employ different construction designs especially for the various purposes of their design. Knowing the distinct types is going to help you. This is as you look for the bow so that you can be able to choose the crossbow which will meet all your needs.
The recurve bow is the oldest ancestor when it comes to the modern crossbow. This name comes from the delicate curves which mark the ends of bow pointing away from the users. The kind of curves does carry out important function of keeping the string in place so that it is not going to flick out. This is by straining string and also locking it in and hence ensuring the safety of the user as well as that of the equipment. When it comes to the modern day crossbow, it is either made of Magnesium or even the Aluminum alloy or even the carbon fiber. You will have an effortless time when it comes to how you aim.
The compound crossbow does feature a very complex design than the recurve and is hence harder to set up during the first time. Interestingly, it is much easier to use and thus a trendy choice for the hunters. The design has been marked by much shorter limbs as about recurve yet they are quite sturdy. These crossbows have high energy efficiency thanks to the stiff build. The compound crossbows do also utilize the synthetic material to enhance durability. As a result of its design, the bow has been renowned for the accuracy. Also resistant to the weather changes.
When it comes to the repeating crossbow, it is among the simplest to use as it does take a single movement to be able to execute a shot. All other steps have been initiated with the single motion making it among most convenient crossbow options available. It has been said that it is capable of being able to shoot three times fast than the ordinary crossbow. Hence, this is the best choice when it comes to the speed factor. It, therefore, does provide a convenient shortcut for the beginners. This is especially for those who do not wish to put in all work for one to become a very skilled archer.
This is the modern day hybrid. It combines highlights of the ordinary crossbows and also conveniences of the rifle. This is to make the ultimate hunting instrument. Similar to the rifle, the crossbow has the best and greatest accuracy. This is a quality which has is more improved by the superior aim capability. Such crossbows have been able to incorporate technological advancements. This includes the impressive sights, the heavy duty construction that is based on the fiber as well as a foot pull.
Best crossbow hunters do not think about the shots at the game. They are outstanding from the start all the way to the end. Well, if you want to have very high accuracy, then this can be achieved through practice. Also, here are some tips which will help in improving aim accuracy.
The correct way of standing up is not what most self-taught do it. It is crucial for you to face around 45 degrees, with the feet parallel and also spread 18-24 inches apart. The toes should be pointing well towards the target, not at 90 degrees as most of the beginners stand. Open stance can do two things. First, it allows you to face elk more directly as you go on shooting. This does require less game-spooking movement to get set for the shot. Secondly, angling towards the target at 45 degrees does move bowstring away from the bow arm as well as chest. In case the string slightly brushes the clothing during the shot, the arrow is more likely to veer to one side. This is especially apt to happen in actual hunting situations. This in case you are wearing some baggy clothing to keep yourself warm.
Most of the people who use crossbows shoot using the compound bows with the draw lengths one or even two inches too long. With an excellent open stance, you are going to probably need to adjust the compound for a shorter, more comfortable draw.
Grip the bow with the relaxed, closed hand. A tight, the white knuckle grip is going to tense the entire bow arm and degrade accuracy. Most of the crossbows lightly touch the thumb to the forefinger or even the middle finger in front of the grip. If you can't seem to master the loose grip, then try an open bow hand with the wrist sling. The sling can tie the bow to the hand so that it cannot fall out during the shot. Wrist slings can be quite cumbersome in quick shooting situations on elk at the ground level. But very good accuracy is very crucial. In a stand where you can be able to see the quarry approaching, the sling is very easy over the wrist. This is before the shot.
Extend the bow arm towards the target with string gripped in the fingers. Also, even the jaws of the mechanical release aid. Most common finger grip on string is the index finger above arrow nock. Also, the next two fingers below arrow nock. All you need is to point is to point bow at the target. Then double check that the bow that the bow grip is loose and then pull the string back smoothly to your face.
Do not dip bow or even point it in the air as you draw. It is advisable that you do not push bow ahead as you continue to drawstring back. From here, extend bow fully and then pull string straight back. If the bow has excess poundage to draw smoothly back, you may need to dip. Also, or even raise the bow. This means that you should reduce draw weight until the shooting muscles are much stronger.
This can seem like an open question, but it cannot be in dispensed! The crossbow bolts are of different sizes. There are different models which usually differs in all sorts of consequential ways, ranging from length as well as weight to material of which they are composed of. Also, to type of nocks on bolts as well as beyond. Some features make for bolts which are better attuned to some circumstances than the others. Therefore, you should always bear in mind interplay between the bolt's features and circumstances which you expect to encounter when you are using it.
For example, the carbon bolts are far much more durable about the aluminum bolts. For this specific reason, the carbon bolts are much better in absorbing impact without the bending than the aluminum bolts and hence penetrate the targets much deeper.
Lighter bolts travel faster about the heavier bolts, all the others being equal. Also, there are much more likely to travel straighter about the heavier bolts. However, as they are light, they are highly likely to be blown off course by the crosswinds than the heavy bolts.
Most of the new archers can understand basics about the bows, but when it comes to the arrows, they seem not only confused but also lost. Well, there is a reason for that as arrows can be confusing. When you are selecting arrows, they include the spine, the weight of the bow, length of the arrow, size and the material of the arrow.
Where can you get Crossbow fixed and bought its ammo?
In the modern age where most of the things are bought online, is it possible to buy ammo online? Well, there are some factors which you can consider. The major factor is the licensing. If it allows, there are several online shops which you can purchase from. Without restraint of the physical location, the online sellers can have a wide range of selection. There is some ammo which is better than others. Here are some of the places which you consider when you want to purchase ammo.
For this, they top as a result of their excellent selection, the real-time inventory, and the fast shipping. LuckyGunner has been an excellent choice as they take care of certain problems.
This is where you can be able to get most of the specialty tools. They have unparalleled customer service, some reasonable shipping, and some excellent ammo deals. Their website construction is excellent and easy to navigate.
Fishers and hunters know and also love the local Cabela. They have some of the best hunting ammo. Hence you can find in almost every caliber you could think of. Do not forget to look at Cabela's branded gear.
This is also an excellent choice, and it is going to do good for you.
Many hunters have been able to embrace the crossbows during the past decade. Even before then, the crossbows have been very popular with hunters, but it is only recently that they have become an accessory which is often linked with the hunters. With very many efficient and an easy to use firearms available, the hunters still seem to prefer variants of this centuries-old weapon. Though there has not been solid evidence to be able to suggest this, the only reason one can think of is the crossbows giving them much better feel of the classic sport. That is as compared to the firearm as it is very close to the traditional arrow and bow, but it can still be operated with much greater easer to attain better accuracy.
Crossbows have been using for fun as well as a leisure activity. Many competitions such as target shooting are very popular in the modern day.
Despite the militaries using weapon actively, it does not mean that they have abandoned weapon for good. Most of the secondary tasks in various armies of the world have been performed by use of the crossbows. For example, crossbows are still used to be able to develop the zip lines in steep terrain.
