Broadcasting revenue. As revealed today by the CEO of PRW:
The French Top14 = £50m
Aviva Prem = £40m
Pro12 = £11.5m.
That is quite simply unsustainable if you want to be a professional rugby team in domestic Northern Hem rugby. Somethign has to change for the celtic teams, and quickly.

We've done this a million times. They probably wouldn't. So take it to another thread, this one's about the pathetic ability of the pro12 to make any money.
They make roughly the same money per capita as the big Nations make. Italy being the untapped source of any REAL expansion - but then, most people on these threads never seem to want the poor bloody Italians Yet they're the key to genuine mucho bucks if we encouraged them to take a true interest.
But I guess the non-Celticness of them makes 'villagers' constantly turn the nose up at their very presence.

Disagree. I think it would be a huge boost for the Italian teams to have Italian hero, Sergio Parisse in the Pro12.
Even if these guys play a handful of games it's better than zero.

You do realise that the English clubs have a massive and long history with the Welsh clubs don't you ? This is why the LV cup was kept as the English sides wanted to keep the historic rivalry between them.

Yeh, great for the Italians, but the money men want to see the british and Irish stars as well, and in this regard the Irish have always treated the league with contempt, I could probably count how many games BOD played in the league on one hand. Now with the Welsh players on DC I doubt we will see many Welsh internationals either, but as I said earlier, the amount of games they will not be able to play might be a bit over exaggerated.

So the success of a league is judged on how much money they make?
Your thread is becoming a farce because I can't tell if you are saying the teams aren't good enough because they aren't making enough money.
The fact that pro12 teams seem to be doing quite well in Europe, 50% of the international teams involved in the league seem to be doing quite well, the league is competitive, the clubs are competitive in Europe, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what the purpose of this thread is?

Well for a start they need them, Scotland and Italy are already making a joke out of the 6N, it is no surprise that the two nations with only two pro sides are the worst, they need extra teams, they are not poor countries they should be doing more, and more teams will be a bigger incentive to get more sponsors, if it means a second tier, then so be it.
I think it's a bit harsh on Scotland. Scotland were close at times, and Cotter needs a bit of time to work with the team.
Where are these extra teams going to get SQ players from? It isn't as if Embra are packed full of natives, so how are the SRU going to fill out 2 extra teams?
I would really like to see it, LD, as much as I would like to see a 2nd tier in the Pro12, but it's too early for that, even though Glasgow are now consistent and Embra appear to be turning a corner.

The money is (largely) how the clubs are funded. The English money is 4 times the PRO12 money. So this suggests that the league is 4 times more valuable.
The pro12 will never be as valuable as the aviva prem (for a variety of reasons).
Therefore, the aviva prem is going to get richer. And the pro 12 will at best stagnate.
Therefore I'd rather be in a league which doesn't stagnate. The best chance of that - is one in which English teams are invovled in.
That way the clubs get more money.
The fact that pro12 teams seem to be doing quite well in europe, 50% of the international teams seem involved in the league to be doing quite well, the league is competative, the clubs are competative in europe, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what the purpose of this thread is?
Again, you've wandered into recent on the pitch matters. I'm trying to see a bigger picture here.

So your major gripe is about TV money, which there never will be enough of and is unsustainable. How about the Welsh clubs try and build up a decent fanbase. Take a leaf out of Glasgow's book and develop a fanbase. You can grow that year-on-year. Depending on TV money is not sustainable.
Location : Dublin
That's all you got ...reality.
You can't dream of having a bigger population to draw from - unless you dream about really encouraging Italy to become more involved and serious.
The reality is that if the USA took to club rugby seriously, they'd be making oodles more money than the French or English. Bigger populations means bigger asking price for TV rights because of that bigger TV viewership for advertising and sponsorship.

Well spotted. 3 pages in.

Do you really want to do a seasonal attendance average of Glasgow v the Welsh regions?
Depending on TV money is not sustainable.
? That is how the entire model of professional rugby is financed. What are you on about? Are you serious? Surely not?
Chunky - Munster raised 2m euro for this season with a Patron Scheme. So far Munster have 30 fan patrons who have agreed to contribute up to 30K per year for 3 years. They intend on expanding this scheme to 200 patrons.
They also have Corporate Patrons (i.e., up to 100K per year for 3 years). Greencore (sponsor the Munster Academy). Marks & Spencers & Independent News & Media (Sponsor Musgrave Park for 100K per year) fit this category.
There is also a fund raising dinner in London every year now.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
So why do you want to stay in a league with such a poor viewership?

And they still had to renegotiate their stadium debt, because they couldn't afford an agreed payment of £3m to their own Union.

So the overall theme is you want the Welsh to move to the AP? Not going to happen.
Yep, Munster own a 26K stadium, redeveloped in 2008 and owe about 9m on it to their parent company. They also redeveloped their 2nd 10K stadium which is paid for.
Not many English premiership clubs own even one 26.5K stadium, let alone two stadia. (Wasps probably are the only English premiership club that own their stadia and that is thanks to Irish owner and money).

No, I want a tier based British and Irish League.
This, has to happen in the next 5 years or the celtic nations run the risk of cutting pro teams or even havign semi pro rugby.
That debt would be massively eaten into if Munster were in a British and Irish league. You could have 3 stadiums!
B&I league not going to happen either.

A quote another poster from a forum:
In Wales, where we are told that we dislike the Prolapse12, the TV contract is worth £3.5m. In Scotland it is worth £150k. In Ireland it is worth €900k.
We could, therefore, easily rise the "value of the product" to its Welsh "value" simply by doing one of two things:
1 - forcing the lazy blazers at the SRU and IRFU to properly sell TV rights
2 - force the Prolapse12 to ensure that broadcast revenues are kept per territory
The money is divyed out equally... except for the tv revenue where because Wales brings in more revenue, they actually get to take that out for themselves (it isn't split up like sponsorship and other revenue centrally sold).

Well you've set out a very good reason why it won't go ahead. The English league get all that money, why would they want to kick out some of their clubs and weaken themselves financially? The likelyhood would be that the Welsh clubs would be 2nd tier and still be struggling financially.

Because when the Irish, Scots and Welsh are on their knees - the Six nations tv money would be in danger because the competition will be worthless as European rugby descends into oblivion. Then the English ears will Tinkywinky up.
I'd bite your hand off to be in that 2nd tier by the way.
6 nations has a fine history even back pre professional. There'll always be someone willing to pay, BT, Sky whoever.
Why would you want to be in that 2nd tier? The money would go to the top tier, maybe matching French money, but the money offered to the 2nd tier would likely be less than what the Pro 12 get as no one will pay top dollar for the 2nd best. You'd be in a much worse situation.

No one knows the details of what tier 1 and tier 2 would get. I'd just be happy playing better more attractive teams week in week out, and I guess gates would rise as a result.
You don't get it....................... per capita........................... add the Pro12 Welsh to the English and what? The increase that the new League would get would be in proportion to the per-capita increase - the joining of England's 50 million to Wale's 2.something million. The Welsh and English sides would still want their cut so the cut gets divided - more money, more division of it... not much of an increase for any if at all.
Plus.......... I'm happy. Happy with the Pro12. Happy with Provinces developing. Happy with how Provinces lead into International. I know you're not happy about any of that in a Welsh context but I'm happy about it in an Irish context. I can't not be happy to make you feel better. I can only be happy with what I see.
Now what argument can you throw at me now that would see me hop on a bandwagon that would have Irish Provinces jump into a League that would have bulk control by RFU/PRL designed for specific English club and English National gains? They'd be the major players in every way - from rules to funding to TV deals.
What argument could you make that would want me to let Irish Provinces join up to a relegation League that might see two or even three of them (or even all four) drop down to the lesser tiers and remain there for decades? The promise of more money would make me crave that risk??? Two million more? One million more? Run those risks of destroying Irish rugby for a few million quid extra?
You stick to your Anglo/Welsh League and leave us to our own sense of what success means. Success to me means winning - winning in League, winning in Europe and winning at International. Now that's not always going to happen but that's the buzz - not the bank balances and 12 English players on a Leinster or Munster team in tier three of a B&I league.
I can't change your mind. You're institutionalised in your thought process.
That's why it'll hit hard when it happens.
Well it's pretty straight forward to know that TV companies will want the top tier and not be that bothered about the rest. The gap would grow larger financially. Thought that was what you were arguing against not the attractiveness of the teams you will face (which would be no more attractive)?
The gap wouldn't grow larger, because the Tier 1 and 2 competition would be all inclusive in a tv deal etc
To put it crudely:
Now: Combined Pro12 and AP tv deals are worth £50m
B&I League : Worth £80m
Appreciate those figure are speculative but they need to be at this point.
It wouldn't be includsive though. It would be the top tier and 2nd tier. Where has there ever been a deal where the top tier doesn't get the vast majority of the money?
Say for arguments sake you're correct and for the 1st time you see the money spread across, you would see the English clubs who were in the AP getting less money; why would they go for it?

It is what it is. The other leagues are more established. They have been more stable, but there is a real drive there to realise the value of the Pro12.
The Top14 has been around for over 100 years, the AP about 30 and the Pro12 14 and only 4 in its current format. That's not to mention the AP and Top14 have signed exclusive deals which are more lucrative plus he doesn't mention if the figure covers Sky or all the rights signed in the different regions with different broadcasters

I'm not saying it will be spread across. I'm saying that it will be significantly more. Even for the 2nd tier.

No it wouldn't, not for the 2nd tier. Why would a broadcaster pay a good amount for the 2nd best?
Eh, Saracens are in debt to the tune of 40 million (which they say includes the redevelopment of a 10K stadium). Bath (who are also undergoing refurbishment) are losing 3m per annum.
Because that's part of the deal.
Just like the challenge cup at the moment.
So? That's because they spend wildly and don't manage themselves within their means like Leicester and Exeter. And presumably, by your assumption Munster?
What deal? Championship and Premiership are sold separately in every sport. Why would a broadcaster pay a top price for the 2nd tier?
by Totalflanker Fri 10 Apr - 14:16
Even if you accept that a British and Irish league is an attractive proposition, which arguably it could be. Main stumbling block, how do trust the PRL - goalpost would change at the drop of a hat if there was a chance of chasing bigger bucks, Celtic teams and potentially nations would be seen as perfectly reasonable collateral damage if it suited them. Italian rugby would be just the first in line for the chop as they are alienated for PRL purposes.

It can't hit me hard, nothing can hit me hard because it's already happening and I'm already concerned.
The pressures are already beginning. The players are already being tempted by massive wages elsewhere. The rules are being changed by some and having to be obeyed by others. Money, power and influence is already talking and controlling. Your Armageddon is already started ...and your rush to your sanctuary of a Relegation B&I League is yet another step on the ladder to your 'omenous' future.
I can't make you see that consolidation of rugby in Europe is not in Welsh rugby's best interests. You'll think otherwise. But I'm here warning you - be careful what you wish for if your wish is to sustain quality rugby in Wales. You'll be hit hard when you see the fruits of your wished for future, not me.

Is that just for the sky sports deal or inclusive of the other broadcasting deals the individual teams and unions have?
Figures look pretty good to me considering the relative population sizes and the length of time the relative leagues have been going.
Exciting times for the pro12.

This is a hoot to read through after my lunch break.
Chunkles says "I can't change your mind. You're institutionalised in your thought process."
Is that chunkles talking to chunkles? It has to be as it's the only logical reason for him/her typing that.
You call it poor based on what? A comparison to what the other leagues get? Again you lack an understanding of context and the knowledge of what makes up the 11.5m figure, if that's just sky then theres more money to be added to that amount and as other contracts had been signed prior to the sky deal once they expire it may open the door to a bigger piee of the pie for Sky and hence more money.
You also miss out that the AP also had the advantage of BT trying to buy up whatever they can to outdo Sky so the is an element of over inflation with their figure
rodders wrote:
I took it as inclusive of all.
So the argument for such a poor figure is "It's a good broadcasting deal considering the factors that make the league logistically impossible to command a reasonable broadcast deal"
I think that just about sums it all up.
Nothing is missed out. No context is lacking.
The only context are the figures, because the context is broadcast revenue. The reasons are many. But the result will be the same - a slow painful descent of celtic domestic rugby.
I'm clearly worried about it, and these figures backup my assertions. If you're not worried by it - then great, keep smiling.
You keep jumping about with your point Chunky, you've already acknowledged there's more finance than just TV money, why not include it for the full picture?
The Pro12 went 13 years without a central tv deal and survived so on what exactly do you base the assertion not to mention that Davies said the Welsh regions have signed a new commercial deal with BT Sport which they expect to help cover the difference and are working on establishing new commercial revenue streams so its actually relevant because maybe you just don't know what your talking about
No 7&1/2 wrote: You keep jumping about with your point Chunky, you've already acknowledged there's more finance than just TV money, why not include it for the full picture?
Because as Mark Davies said yesterday:
"The key to increasing revenue in today's environment is broadcast revenue. That dwarves sponsorship and ticket sales in professional sport."

Q: Android timer when phone is idle I am trying to create an Android app which plays a sound every few seconds. I want this to work even when the phone is idle. At the moment everything works fine even when the phone screen is off. But after about a minute, the timer stops working. As soon as the screen is turned back on, the missed sounds are played in quick succession. I struggle to find the right terms and concepts to properly find a solution with Google.
When I first encountered this issue, I made sure that my service was running in the background. As it seems, the service is also enabled in the background because everything works fine as long as the screen is not turned off.
Code for running the service in the background:
override fun onStartCommand(intent: Intent, flags: Int, startId: Int): Int {
    timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(TimeTask(), 0, 100);
    return START_STICKY
}

private inner class TimeTask() : TimerTask() {
     override fun run() {
        sendBroadcast(Intent(TIMER_UPDATED))
     }
}

Since this didn't work, I tried to make the service a foreground service. But this didn't work either. (I tried to do it as shown here)
Code for running the service in foreground:
private fun runInBackground() {
        val channelId =
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
                createNotificationChannel("service", "something")
            } else {
                ""
            }

        val notification: Notification = NotificationCompat.Builder(this, channelId)
            .setContentTitle("title")
            .setContentText("text")
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.alert_dark_frame)
            .build()

        startForeground(1, notification)
}

@RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
private fun createNotificationChannel(channelId: String, channelName: String): String{
        val channel = NotificationChannel(channelId, channelName, NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_NONE)
        channel.lightColor = Color.BLUE
        channel.lockscreenVisibility = Notification.VISIBILITY_PRIVATE
        (getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE) as NotificationManager)
            .createNotificationChannel(channel)
        return channelId
}

I read something about scheduling tasks in Android. And found the AlarmManager, but I don't think this would really work the way I want it to because I would have to schedule an alarm for every 100ms. The official doc also states that this shouldn't be used in that way and that "handlers" are more suited, but I struggle to understand how I could replace my current timer with such a handler. I have tried to implement something, but failed.
val updateHandler = Handler()

val runnable = Runnable {
    // some action
}

updateHandler.looper(runnable, 100)

A: Finally solved my problem. Something that I didn't understand before was a "wakelock". It looks something like this:
val wakeLock: PowerManager.WakeLock = (getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE) as PowerManager).run {
        newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "ShuttleRun::DefaultWakeLock").apply {
            acquire(30*60*1000L)
        }
    }

It basically just keeps the device awake, which doesn't mean that the screen is turned on, but rather that the service can run in the background without being disturbed.

Q: Infinite intersection of open subsets are open What is know about topological space in which infinite  intersection of open subsets are open?
For example, every open subsets are also closed and the inverse holds?
Other properties are welcome. Thank you in advance.

A: Such spaces are called Alexandroff spaces. You can find a short overview paper on then here.
They're not studied very much, it's a niche thing.

A: About your second question:
Spaces, where each open set is closed, are called partition spaces, since this is equivalent to have a base, which is a partition of the set.
It is easy to see that a space is a parttion space, iff it is Alexandroff and regular.
In particular, there are even finite topological spaces (hence Alexandroff), which are not partition spaces, e.g. the Sierpinski space (= two element space with exactly one isolated point).

It was 140 years ago, in October 1868, that the Hayward Fault unleashed the magnitude 6.8 temblor that put the fault on the map. The quake shook the entire region and virtually leveled the then-small hamlets of Hayward and San Leandro. Now, the land along the fault line is among the most densely populated in the region, a sobering situation given the likelihood of a repeat performance in the near future. But despite their destructive potential, the Hayward and the Bay Area's other faults are the driving force behind our region's varied and beautiful topography. Understanding how they work is key both to understanding our local landscapes and to preparing for the next Big One.

Mount Diablo is such a towering icon of our landscape that it is sometimes easy to forget how much complexity lies within its familiar outline. Indeed, the mountain holds many stories: from the drama of its birth under the ocean, to its (mis)naming by early American settlers, to last year's rediscovery of the rare Mount Diablo buckwheat.

New online documentary takes on the plastic pandemic
Mon, Mar 22, 2021 14:36 CET Report this content
A new documentary series, made by Staffordshire University students, takes a deep dive into the global plastic pollution crisis
Six-part online series Plastic Pandemic was created by Isaac Robinson and Jonathan Eley while studying MA Film Production and explores the increasing threat to the planet, people and animals.
The pair embarked on the project 18 months ago inspired by world-leading microplastics expert Dr Claire Gwinnet, Professor of Forensic and Environmental Science at Staffordshire University.
Dr Gwinnett specialises in the analysis of microfibres and helped to discover the first evidence of deep-sea animals ingesting microplastics in 2016. She now leads Forensic Fibres Microplastic Research Group which conducts research across the globe.
Isaac explained: "We knew we wanted to tell a story about something that people don't necessarily know about and bring awareness to it.
"When we first met Claire, she asked me 'would you eat a credit card?' because in a matter of weeks you consume the equivalent amount of plastic in your food. That was the lightbulb moment – there was so much she told us that we weren't aware of and that the general public probably aren't aware of either."
The documentary follows the researchers as they conduct experiments into plastic degradation at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology Research (NIOO) as well as investigations into agricultural microplastic pollution back in the UK.
Dr Gwinnet said: "Plastic pollution is a threat to wildlife, ecosystems and economies, and a risk to human health. Litter, clothing and even car tyres shed microplastics which travel through waterways and through the air, making their way into the oceans, the soil and even into our food.
"Raising awareness and educating the public is an important part of our work and so we were excited to be part of this documentary. This is a man-made crisis and we can all be part of solution - the more ways we can highlight this the better."
Just months into making the documentary, the COVID-19 pandemic prevented filming on location so Isaac and Jonathan reached out to organisations and experts across the world to take part in the documentary virtually. A labour of love, the duo have continued working on the series since completing their studies last summer.
Isaac said: "What I'm used to is picking up a camera and getting out there, but we ended up using a lot of archive footage and did interviews over Microsoft Teams and Zoom. I learnt about a different style of filmmaking, and I think it became a better project for it.
"We also decided to capture the COVID aspect as the film itself was heavily impacted by the pandemic. We looked at good and bad effects of the global lockdown on the environment and also incorporated links to plastic pollution, such as the littering of masks."
The series covers ocean conservation, sustainable design, upcycled products and plastic free alternatives with collaborators including Oceana, the Ellen McArthur Foundation and the Marine Conservation Society.
Isaac added: "It has been a huge learning curve and has changed my lifestyle - I'm a lot more plastic conscious now. I think a lot of people don't feel that they can make a difference, but this series shows that we can all play our part."
The first episode of Plastic Pandemic is available to watch online from 11am on Monday 22 March with new episodes released weekly. Follow @PlasticPandemic on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram to discover more.

Men's Conference: "Encouragement and Endurance"


This week, real estate sales consultant Rick McHone of The Jason Mitchell Group gives his advice on how to accommodate aging parents moving to assisted living, and how and when is the best time to step in and help.
More and more of us Baby Boomers are now facing the difficult decisions that come with helping our parents downsize or move to an assisted living center which many times is not an easy move to make.
One of the first things to consider is that this is a very difficult and emotional time for your parents and one that needs a great deal of empathy from the kids.This is the time to be careful,methodical,and to understand that the home your parents are leaving may be the home they have lived in for decades. For many seniors this is an extremely difficult and emotional time to make the final decision to pack up their lives and move to an assisted living facility.
Downsizing also means that there may be many years of accumulated possessions inside the home that need to be sold or distributed to your family members for safe keeping. Making the final decision to start the process is a difficult one and you as the decision maker may be looking at a garage full of possessions that may not have real value to you, but have a deep emotional value to your parents.
When communicating with companies that you have hired to assist you and your family in this process, keep in mind that your aging parents probably do not check email, do not use digital signatures and definitely do not text. It is important to remember that the he methods of communication you chose need to be addressed up front to avoid unneeded stress.
The National Association of Realtors has been training agents to become certified as Senior Real Estate Specialists. The training helps agents to understand the challenges in assisting with transactions that may involve selling a home to downsize. Knowing who to trust is also key to ensuring the parents are well taken care of. There is a new organization called the National Association of Senior Advocates that does background checks for service providers and makes sure they adhere to a higher gold standard of ethics.
I am the director of the organization for Arizona and a proud Senior Real Estate Specialist.


Do you need me to ship your puppy? Are you able to fly into the airport to meet us? If available to your area, would you be willing to spend a little extra money to have your puppy hand delivered to you? I receive many questions of concern about shipping a puppy. Here are some common questions and my answers. If you have additional concerns, please let me know!
Q. I am really nervous about flying my puppy. How do I know my puppy will be safe?
A. All of my puppies are examined by my veterinarian and are given a health certificate certifying they are healthy to make the flight.
Q. What airlines do you use and from what airport where do you ship the puppies?
A. I have safely flown American, Delta and United Airlines. Puppies are never left out on the hot or cold tarmac or in a hot cargo area. They are always in a climate controlled environment - even on the plane. Locked safely inside their crates, the crates are strapped into a bay in the cargo area of the plane. The area is pressurized and the temperature is the same as in the cabin of the plane.
I use different airports depending on the airlines I use. The puppy will be flown into the appropriate hub, depending on the direction of travel. Puppy will then be transferred to the connecting plane just before the plane is ready for take off. If there are any unforeseen delays lasting more than 4 hours, pets are tended to by the on site kennel. Puppy would get fed, watered and the attendant would make sure any of their needs are met.
Q. How much is the shipping and what's included?
A. Shipping is $350 and includes puppy's vet visit, health certificate, new travel crate/kennel with pad, airline costs, insurance and travel to and from the vet's office and airport. Although the puppy's safety is my first priority, I will ship the least expensive way for you. Also included on the side of puppy's crate is an envelope, like a packing slip would come in, that will have all of the puppy's paperwork such as registration application, written health guarantee, veterinarian health certificate and other forms. BE SURE TO HAVE THAT PAPERWORK BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE AIRPORT!
Q. How old does my puppy need to be before he/she can fly home to me?
A. Puppies are required by law to be at least 8 weeks old before flying. If puppy is deemed too small or just not quite ready to leave me yet, I will keep the puppy the necessary time needed until it is ready to make a flight. This will be at no extra cost to you. Puppy will also get any of its' necessary vaccinations and de-worming treatments at no extra cost to you.
Q. If you do have to keep my puppy longer, how do I know how to make plans to receive my puppy - as far as the date?
A. I will let you know when the pup is ready to fly home. We will work together on a date. If you are unable to receive your pup at that time, there will be a boarding fee of $5 per day unless prior arrangements are made, plus $20 for each additional vaccination that is needed during that time. The boarding fee is flexible according to circumstances.
Q. If I choose a puppy that is ready to come home now, what is the procedure to get my puppy a reservation and how soon can I get my puppy?
1. A couple of dates that will work out for you to pick up your puppy from the airport. I normally ship on Saturdays.
2. Your name and address as it appears on your photo ID.
3. Your cell number you will have with you the day your puppy comes home. If you have an alternate phone number, I will give that to the airlines when I reserve the flight.
I will make all of the arrangements for the flight. All fees, including price of puppy, shipping and handling charges are payable NO LATER THAN ONE WEEK prior to shipment of puppy - NO EXCEPTIONS.
Q. How do I know when and where to pick my puppy up at the airport?
A. After the reservation is made, I will email your puppy's itinerary and confirmation number so you can print it. In the email, I will also list the pickup information for you. I will also include the airline's phone number in case you need to contact them.
Q. Our family would like to keep track of the puppy's flight. Is there any way we can do that?
A. Sure! You can track your puppy's flight at Delta Cargo Tracking http://www.deltacargo.com/or American Cargo Tracking at http://www.aacargo.com/and enter the Air Waybill number supplied by me. Or you can track the actual flight using the flight number at Delta or American Flight Status. You will know what airlines is caring for your puppy.
Q. I've heard that sometimes a puppy "nanny" can bring my puppy in cabin on an airplane to a major airport near me. Is that possible?
A. I do not do this on a regular basis. However, I may be able to get in touch with someone who would be willing to fly with your pup in cabin. I cannot guarantee this service for all destinations.
Q. Is there any other information I need concerning receiving my puppy either by air or ground?
A. I just ask that as soon as it is possible for you to please call or text me to let me know you have puppy in your arms! You know, I loved your puppy first and I want to know puppy is safely with you!

Game of Thrones ending: Did the finale twist came from GOT books of George R.R.Martin?
By Mohini Choudhury June 2, 2019
Game of Thrones took the world by a shocking storm when it proclaimed Bran Stark as the King of Westeros. And now maybe you can skip A Dream of Spring by George R.R.Martin. because the ending has already been ruined.
Bran's fate was fairly disappointing for the audience. And people might have assumed that the show's ending is similar to what Martin has planned for his books. But, we did not have any solid confirmation up until now.
What did Martin have to do with the ending of Game of Thrones?
In an interview, Isaac Hempstead Wright revealed that Martin had planned the ending of Game of Thrones and passed it on to David Benioff and D.B.Weiss. None of them have confirmed this news as of now. But, it seems pretty likely that it is the truth because it has been put on the official website of Game of Thrones.
Wright revealed that Martin had planned two things for Bran. The first was Hodor's revelation and that Bran would win the Iron Throne. "It was pretty cool to be a part of George's vision. I thought it was a nice way to wrap up this thing up." Wright said.
Will Bran the Broken conclude The Song of Ice and Fire series too?
In 2013, Benioff and Weiss had met with Martin to decide the way the show was going to end. They knew the show was going to end before the books released. So, Martin revealed to them the ending that he had planned for A Song of Ice and Fire. The showrunners had revealed that towards the ending, there will be three 'holy sh*t' moments. The first was Shireen's death, the second was how did Hodor come to be 'Hodor' and the third was the final conclusion of the series.
But this does not mean that Bran winning the Iron Throne is not the permanent ending for the books. Martin has revealed that his ending will be a little different from what the series has shown us. This might have happened due to the recent fan reactions to the show's ending.
How did both the things go off track?
We think this whole situation fits so much now because we know the mess that this has created. And by the time the final season of Game of Thrones aired, it had outrun the books from a long distance. And eventually, it became its own thing. Bran had not been so integral for quite some time. So, Weiss and Benioff could craft the stories as they wanted to. They realised that they didn't put the same effort into Bran as Martin did and made him the character he actually is. He ended up taking up an ill fitting role.
So, in the end, they required Tyrion to deliver a 5 minute monologue. Because they believed that the audience had to be convinced as much as the Lords of Winterfell.
So, now all we can do is wait for the last books from the Song of Ice and Fire series to be released. Martin recently revealed that he had plans to have the book ready by August 2020.

Launch of Super Mario App's is Influence on the Video Game Territory?
Written by Hemendra Singh on November 11, 2016 | Updated on: November 11, 2016
If we believe the sources, the most popular and widely enjoyed game after Pokemon, Super Mario Run is soon going to enter the smallest screen. This is worth noting that with the launch of iPhone 7, Apple announced that it is going to launch "Super Mario Run" for mobile devices. Experts are considering this move of Apple intending to accelerate the retarded app industry and support a game, which played a great role in social network development of the masses.
Now, as the buzz for Pokemon and Super Mario Run games is getting much hype, would it stretch to a big threat to the video game industry, especially Nintendo, one of the major players in the territory. The launch date is decided to be Dec. 15 for iOS, but Android users will have to wait a little more to relish this game. Let's find out how these updates are going to impact these two majors.
Nintendo Is Ahead of Competitors
If we quote experts, they believe that this move by Apple is a late one as Nintendo has already released its first app in March this year named Miitomo on both Android as well as iOS. There is also a buzz that the company is going to set a separate approach for Nintendo's first game for a smartphone. They firmly believe that the late move will make no difference as far as the success of the game is concerned. They are confident enough about the one element of this game which will most likely make Super Mario Run a great hit worldwide.
No Matter the Game Got A Delay
Super Mario Run will be available on iOS first and they are going to make $9.99 through this; therefore, Nintendo will get only half of its profit. The reason is quite obvious that Android handsets share more than half of the total smartphones globally. It is a fact that iOS users are more tend to spend money for buying custom iOS apps, but the ever-lasting craze for Nintendo simply makes its users purchase the game. Despite finding the entry fee of $9.99 for this game higher, its die-hard fans no matter use iOS or Android platform, are ready to pay for it.
Super Mario Run's release on the iPhone may lead to some damage to Android. Experts believe that the result of exclusive deals like this can take the game lovers to the verge of shifting platforms to play the game they love the most. It is also a fact that smartphone users do a number of activities other than playing games. Gaming apps make more than 85 per cent of all mobile app income.
Will Mario be Able to Beat Pokemon Go?
Many experts doubt the growth of the popularity of Pokemon Go stay constant for a long time and they were proved right to some extent. However, despite the plunge in its fame, the game succeeded in grabbing a whopping bunch of $2 million daily. Analysis on this is, unfortunately, going against Super Mario as they claim that it will generate about $71 million in its first four weeks of availability on App Store and this figure is way behind when compared to Pokemon's $143 million in the same time span. Even there is a doubt that it will overtake Clash Royale, another eminent name for games, which made $107 million in the first 30 days once it is available on App Store. However, being innovative, Super Mario Run, which appealed to the masses the same way, might be able to set a new milestone by beating its arch-rival Pokemon.
Nintendo Throws All Its Energy for Mario's Success
Specialists of gaming and app industries strongly believe that with the launch of Super Mario Run myriad of things have been done exceptionally well by Nintendo. This includes a fine support by Apple to promote the game on the App Store and its grand release worldwide to create a buzz among game freaks. Also, the Notify feature, which notifies users the availability of an app on its store, made its debut with Super Mario Run. So, Super Mario Run is making money for both Nintendo as well as Apple through this yet another way. With the debut of Mario on smartphones and the ever-increasing demand for the game among its lovers are going to prove advantageous.
What's iOS Exclusivity Period for Super Mario?
As of now, there is no official update regarding Nintendo's exclusivity period with Apple. They have stressed on their App Store's exclusivity for an undermined period of time. However, Apple keeps on giving clues for this. For instance, with the release of HBO Now, Apple rolled out its exclusive HBO Go, which you can enjoy without any cable connection for three months. On the other hand, it expected to make its debut on Android next year and that too with no cost to play with in-app purchases.
As the update may take a little more time, it is expected to come in March on Android and it will align perfectly with the company's launch of the Nintendo Switch in the same month. Maintaining the secrecy regarding the release is being considered a crucial part of the duo's marketing strategy; however, The NineHertz, the best custom Android App development company, will keep on updating you on the same.

Foresight Chronicles: The Blog: Night Children: Dark Trials is ready for the crit group!
Night Children: Dark Trials is ready for the crit group!
I belong to a local critique group. We review each other's books, give advice where needed to make the books stronger and support each other in our endeavours. Sometimes we're brutally honest. It's hard but necessary.
Dark Trials is the second book in the Night Children series. When I first wrote the rough draft for what would become Dark Birth, I actually had a great deal of Dark Trials in it too. I later broke the books in two.
A friend at work read Dark Trials and liked it. He was the only one so far. Now it's time for the group to review it. They'll read it this month and in February we'll discuss it. I expect some parts to entertain them but I know there are unknown problems throughout it. There always are things that I think are OK but I later find out it didn't quite work.
I know I'll be hating some of the things I hear but it's necessary. It's part of the journey that I need to do.

Iran General NewsThe Iranian regime has played its last hand
The Iranian regime has played its last hand
Iran Focus
Paris, 10 Jul – At a mass rally in Paris, attended by more than 100,000 supporters, Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), gave an analysis of the state of the Iranian regime one year on from its agreement on nuclear development with the West.
Mrs Rajavi began with Iran's motives for entering into the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The regime's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, had entered into the deal in order to stave off internal economic and political crisis. For regime survival, he accepted a postponement – for postponement is all the deal brings in terms of benefit to the West – in the acquisition of nuclear weapons, in anticipation of a flood of resources which would come his way with the lifting of some sanctions.
It has not worked out that way, Mrs Rajavi said. Western business has been reluctant to involve itself in Iran; and what increases in revenue there have been were used in foreign adventures, principally in Syria. As such, the Iranian economy went deeper into recession. "The financial and banking system are bankrupt," with factories closing down "like falling autumn leaves," she said.
Because basic economic needs cannot be met, protest has surged, in turn leading to an intensification in repression. Those groups seen as the least reliable – different ethnicities, Kurds, Arabs and Baluchis, and different faiths, Christians in particular, according to a recent Church statement – were most targeted for punishment.
In addition, the rate of executions has also risen, Mrs Rajavi said. The supposedly "reformist" Hassan Rouhani is killing two to three times more people than the arch "radical", Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Given these factors, as well as the existence of a highly capable Resistance, Mrs Rajavi said the regime is in real danger of being overthrown. That sense of vulnerability was made manifest in the regime's missile bombardment, just days before the rally in Paris, of Camp Liberty, home to the unarmed People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK) in Iraq.
In fact, a range of US, European and Arab analysts and decision-makers who followed Mrs Rajavi to the rally's podium came to the same conclusion about the weakness of the regime. There was, this year, less hope and more expectation of an end of the regime.
Turning to an analysis of Iran's actions in the Middle East, Mrs Rajavi said that Iran's pursuit of ethnic cleansing of Sunnis, through the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its militias, had created the conditions in which Daesh (ISIS) could spawn. In short, Iranian violence was breeding ISIS violence; Iranian extremism, ISIS extremism. ISIS could not be cured while the Iranian regime continued to incubate it.
The West had, Mrs Rajavi appeared to say, at best, misunderstood the basic science of conflict.
Similarly, the West did not understand the nature of the regime, she said. The notion of velayat-e faqih – religious dictatorship – meant there could only ever be a contest between factions about how best to maintain that authority. To do anything else would be to remove the only source of legitimacy, insubstantial and manufactured as it is, to which any participant in government could lay claim.
In short, reform is self-immolation in the Iranian context for if any faction let the people decide, the people would throw them all out. Events in 2009 demonstrated the truth of this. A dispute about which faction had won the election rapidly escalated into an outpouring of disgust at the whole edifice of government enshrined in velayat-e faqih.
It is only the West, Mrs Rajavi said, which continues to empower the Iranian regime. This has disastrous consequences for the Iranian people, the Middle East and, ironically, for the West's imperative of defeating ISIS. It is time, she said, that the West recognise the Iranian people's right to freedom through recognising the Resistance. It was not just a matter of good ethics but of good policy.

Q: Two semiconductor physics problems with similar data but different solution methods Prob 1: Find the conductivity of n-type Ge at room temperature. Assuming one donor atom in each 108 atoms. The density of Ge is 5.32 x 103 kg/m3 and the atomic weight is 72.66 kg/k-mol. Given e=1.6 x 10-19 C, μe=0.38 m2/V-s and μh=0.18 m2/V-s.Hint: No of Ge atoms per cm3 = 6.023 x 1023 x (atoms/mole) x (1 mole/72.6 g) x (5.32g/cm3) = 4.41 x 1022.
Prob 2: A specimen of germanium at 300 K for which the density of carriers is 2.5 x 1013, is doped with impurity atoms such that there is one impurity atom for 106 germanium atoms. All the impurity atoms may be assumed ionized. The resistivity of doped material is 0.039 Ω-cm. Carreir mobility for germanium at 300 K is 3600 cm2/V-s. For the doped material find the electron and hole concentration.
.....................................................................................
In order to solve these two problems, we need to get the donor atom concentration. Please tell me how should I find the value of donor concentration in each problem.

A: I was missing the point that the concentration given for Ge in both the problem was different. In 1st prob it was extrinsic concentration and in the 2nd it was intrinsic concentration. The extra information given in the 2nd problem was to confuse the solver on purpose.


LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Jan. 27, 2011) - Tournament.com owner Mandalay Media Group today announced that they are selling the domain after deciding not to re-enter the skill gaming arena.
In 2007 the site hosted pay-to-enter First Person Shooter tournaments under license from Valve operating their titles Counter-Strike and Half-Life. On launch it received huge press and was featured internationally in many major gaming publications. Tournament.com was also reaching additional agreements with other major publishers and discussed a partnership with a US based Plc before deciding to close the site down due to financial pressures.
"Tournament.com was an exciting opportunity and something that we really wanted to become a success. We operated with international player liquidity and were actively running pay-to-enter games every few seconds. We still believe there is a market for pay-to-enter video game tournaments, however due to the investment required in infrastructure and content licensing it is something that we have decided not to re-approach.
Our business has restructured and changed direction and since the closure of Tournament.com and we are happy to gain the experience but accept it is something that requires much more investment than we are able to provide.
We receive requests from players every day to restart the service, however it is not going to be possible for us. We believe that unless a content owner like EA approach it themselves and therefore remove the license fee element we will not see a third party operator again on the scale Tournament.com achieved.
We are ready to sell the domain now along with the .co.uk and move on. We believe there will be many interested parties from games publishers to poker sites who can do something great with the domain. The word 'Tournament' is very descriptive and generates over 5 million Google searches per month. It could be developed into a very powerful brand in the right hands. We will be reviewing sensible offers that are received via the contact form on http://www.tournament.com."

This week in Base 5 we have continued working hard on our revision for SATs. In Maths the children have been revising their understanding of data handling and problem solving. In Literacy we have been reading our class text "The Ghost of Thomas Kempe' and the children have been answering reading comprehension questions based on the book in preparation for their reading SAT.
The children have started their new Science topic 'Light and Sight' by investigating different sources of light (this photo is from the investigation activity) and in the coming weeks the children will develop their understanding of reflections and shadows.
In Art we used a light source (a torch) to create shadows of objects which we then sketched onto paper and used shading to try and capture the effect. We will develop these in future weeks using other art forms.
Good luck to all the children in Base 5, I am sure that with all the hard work they have put in, they will get the result they want!
