Amazon Continues to Rule Holiday Shopping Season -- and Make Rivals Miserable
The internet giant is likely to capture about half of the more than $100 billion in online sales expected to occur from November through December, and has been key in ratcheting up consumer's shopping expectations.
Annie Palmer
It's never been a better time to be a consumer, and for that, shoppers can thank Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) - Get Amazon.com, Inc. Report . Its competitors are not likely to be as appreciative, however.
"Retailers are doing virtually anything to win every dollar for every customer," said Ken Cassar, principal analyst and vice president at Slice Intelligence. "A lot of that is enabled, if not mandated, by Amazon's continued growth and success."
Industry watchers expect another blowout holiday shopping season this year, with much of the annual growth occurring in e-commerce. Online sales are expected to rise 13.8% year-over-year to $107 billion during this year's holiday shopping season, which lasts from November through December, according to data from Adobe Systems Inc. (ADBE) - Get Adobe Inc. Report .
Amazon is expected to capture about half of that total, according to a report from consultancy firm Bain & Co. That's owed, in part, to its aggressive pricing and shipping promotions, as well as incentives for its vast Prime subscriber network. The company is also putting its $13.7 billion acquisition of Whole Foods Market, which closed in August, to work by offering all kinds of holiday-related promotions at select locations of the upscale grocer.
Amazon has been key to consumers expecting more and more from retailers, in terms of flexible options, low prices and aggressive deals offered over a longer period of time than just Black Friday.
Apple Needs to Reach This Share Price to be Worth $1 Trillion
Walmart CEO: A Tax Cut Would Mean a Lot
"In a lot of ways, Amazon is setting the bar in terms of e-commerce expectations," said Kantar Retail analyst Robin Sherk. "Prime shoppers in particular, want same-day or two-hour delivery."
Using a wide array of incentives, Amazon tries to give consumers little reason to consider shopping anywhere else, the best example being the Amazon Prime subscription network, the $99-a-year service that offers unlimited, free two-day shipping on many items, among other benefits. Other offerings such as Prime Now, an Amazon Prime member exclusive that enables two-hour delivery for many items, have tested rival retailers' logistical limits.
Amazon's Prime member network continues to swell bigger and bigger each year. The company doesn't disclose Prime member numbers, but a recent survey from market research firm Consumer Intelligence Partners estimated that Amazon Prime had 90 million U.S. members in the third quarter of 2017. Sherk projects that about 40% of U.S. households will be Prime members by the end of 2017, up from 33% of households as of last December.
Prime members are just one example of Amazon's larger "three pillars of growth" -- convenience, broad product selection and low prices -- that have fueled its success during the holiday shopping season, said Cassar, the Slice Intelligence analyst.
Those three areas are particularly important as more and more companies jump into the fray of online holiday promotions -- an arena in which free shipping represents mere table stakes. While consumers have come to expect things like low prices, now they often prioritize convenience when deciding where to make a purchase, Cassar explained.
"Convenience is a really important part of the equation. Getting it quickly and, sometimes, today," Cassar explained. "So Amazon and Walmart (WMT) - Get Walmart Inc. Report in particular have been aggressively competing to deliver a more convenient experience to consumers."
Walmart CEO: We Are Changing and Wall Street Is Taking Notice
Walmart has tried to make sure that Amazon isn't the only destination for free, two-day shipping. In January, the retail giant began offering two-day shipping on orders of $35 or more for more than two million items. Walmart is also taking advantage of its almost 4,700 stores in the U.S. to offer same-day, in-store pickup for items ordered online. What's more, some items are eligible for discounts if they're bought online and shipped to a Walmart store, rather than to your house.
"We've seen retailers step up their emphasis on 'buy online, pick-up in store,'" Sherk explained. "Walmart, Kohl's and others have been trying to step up service there by letting people pick things up on their own terms."
Convenience also requires retailers to have a well-developed mobile presence, which is another area where Amazon excels.
"We don't track app downloads, but if we did, you'd see Amazon has mobile user penetration," Cassar said. "Amazon app usage is dramatically higher than any other retailer. Folks like Target (TGT) - Get Target Corporation Report would be happy to have a quarter of Amazon's users."
Amazon Shopping is currently the top app in the U.S. on the App Store, according to app analytics firm App Annie. Target is ranked fourth, followed by Walmart in fifth place and eBay (EBAY) - Get eBay Inc. Report in tenth.
In general, consumers are spending more and more time using shopping apps. Time spent in the U.S. on the top five digital-first shopping apps (the top two being the since-retired Amazon app and the newer Amazon Shopping app) increased 44% year-over-year in the first half of 2017, App Annie noted. Time spent on shopping apps from traditional brick-and-mortar retailers grew at a slower pace than for digital retailers, increasing 29% annually in the first half of 2017. During that time, Walmart's was the most-used app from a brick-and-mortar retailer, followed by Target's savings app, Cartwheel.
Amazon Prime Day, the self-created holiday on which it offers discounts on hundreds of thousands of items, is meant to attract more Prime members. But Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the end-of-year holiday shopping season are more aimed at converting shoppers from further across the Amazon ecosystem.
For example, Amazon has tried to encourage consumers to place orders through their voice-controlled Echo devices by offering exclusive holiday discounts to voice shoppers. This year, Amazon is also offering a $10-off coupon for Prime members who use its Amazon Restaurants food delivery service for the first time.
In addition, the company is hoping to use its blockbuster Whole Foods acquisition this year to its advantage. Leading up to Thanksgiving, Amazon began lowering prices on Whole Foods items for Prime members, including on regular and organic whole turkeys, while selling Echo and Kindle devices at a discount at Whole Foods' physical stores.
Amazon also plans to bring Amazon Lockers, its self-service package delivery service, to Whole Foods locations. This could be valuable during the holiday season, while also encouraging impulse purchases at Whole Foods stores, said CB Insights senior intelligence analyst Zoe Leavitt.
"Amazon uses holidays to encourage Prime sign-ups and now that it owns Whole Foods, Amazon has one more lever with which to do so," Leavitt said.

Heave away me hearties: It's shanty time
Michael Weaver 28 July 2019 28 July 2019 2
Ewan Lawrie (left) leads the Canberra Shanty Club in full song at the Old Canberra Inn. Photos: Michael Weaver.
"Heave away you rolling kings. Heave away, haul away. Heave away, now hear me sing. We're bound for South Australia."
Now, if you sang those words and imagined yourself sailing the high seas with a crew of likely sailors at your call, then the Canberra Shanty Club wants you!
The club may be a tad land-locked from the ebb and flow of the ocean, but that hasn't stopped a hearty group of singers who gather each week to bring life into a fine shanty or two.
"People are talking about shanties again," says organiser Ewan Lawrie.
Ewan leads the growing group of shanty singers, who now meet weekly at the Old Canberra Inn for about two hours on a Monday night.
The Canberra Shanty Club sang its first auspicious calls in December 2017 and the response since has seen a wave of singers of all ages and backgrounds join in.
The group regularly gets between 30 and 40 people each week, even in the middle of winter on a Monday night. Someone leads a shanty by singing the verses, someone keeps time with a foot and everyone joins in for the chorus.
The result is a spectacular harmony of tenors and sopranos, and others who prefer to pitch at their preference. They sing of sugar cane and rum, Galway shale and Liverpool town, cooks in the galley and a captain in his quarters, with a bit of Irish turf and tatties for good measure.
Canberra Shanty Club bring songs of the high seas to the nation's capital
The Canberra Shanty Club sings songs of sugar cane and rum, Galway shale and Liverpool town, with a bit of Irish turf and tatties thrown in for good measure. Here's a preview of the choir in full voice – and if you think you'd like to join them, new members are most welcome.
Posted by The RiotACT on Thursday, 25 July 2019
This week, Jeff from Western Australia, joined the group while visiting Canberra and heard there was a local shanty club. He said there are lots more shanty clubs in WA, especially in the Fremantle area and down to Albany.
There are also four shanty clubs in Sydney, two in Melbourne, one in Wollongong and one in Brisbane.
Jeff led a shanty called The Sailors' Creed and had the room in fine voice with the call and response style of singing.
Bruce from Canberra has been singing with the group since it began and says a lot can be said for the value of a community singing together.
"We're all here having a go and once you start singing, it always lifts your mind and soul," he says while holding a glass of stout.
"For me, it highlights the spirit of pubs in Ireland and you don't really see that kind of thing here anymore unless it's at the end of a night with someone singing Khe Sanh."
Ewan says a good shanty is not necessarily about life at sea, despite its origins of sailors keeping a rhythm in their duties on a ship.
"It's about a leader singing the call and the workers following in response," he says. "They are songs that make the work less monotonous.
"We always encourage new singers to come along and eventually lead a shanty. It doesn't matter what your level of singing ability is. You will always be supported by everyone else, hopefully in pitch."
Ewan said the Canberra Shanty Club began from the late-night singing sessions at the National Folk Festival in Canberra. The group now conducts shanty singing workshops at other festivals in the area, and a core group from the club will perform at the Merry Muse Folk Club on August 11.
There has even been a request to perform at a heavy metal gig at The Basement in Belconnen, although they're not quite sure if heavy metal shanties could be such a thing. Watch this space.
You can find out more about the Canberra Shanty Club on their Facebook page or simply come along to the Old Canberra Inn on a Monday night from 7 pm. You don't need to be able to sing well or know any of the lyrics. They will teach you the parts you need to sing.
Canberra Shanty Club members gather to bring the tradition of singing shanties to life at the Old Canberra Inn.

Bob Marshall Wilderness
Map Fly Patterns
Please review the regulations before planning an overnight trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. For more information about entering the Bob Marshall Wilderness go here.
Bears & Your Food
The Bob Marshall Wilderness is home to both grizzly and black bears. Special Orders designed to minimize grizzly bear/human conflicts are in place across the region. Storage of food, garbage and other attractants is restricted during occupancy. For more information minimizing bear conflicts in the Bob Marshall Wilderness go here.
Fly Fishing the Bob Marshall Wilderness
The United States Congress designated the Bob Marshall Wilderness in 1964. The area was named after wilderness preservation pioneer and Wilderness Society cofounder Bob Marshall. The entire 1,009,352 acres wilderness area resides in Montana. The Bob has it's commonly called is one of the most completely preserved mountain ecosystems in the world. The Bob features: rugged peaks, alpine lakes, cascading waterfalls, grassy meadows, a thick coniferous forest and big river valleys.
And of particular interest to anglers - a large and healthy population of native Westslope Cutthroat trout. It's also worth mentioning - the wilderness is prime Grizzly bear habitat. The U.S. Forest Service claims the population density of Grizzlies is higher in "The Bob" than anywhere in the U.S. outside of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem or Alaska.
The only bear sighting happened the morning of our departure. One of the coolers holding our food for breakfast got broken into at 4AM... he got into it pretty good before anyone heard it. Noise and some bear-spray chased him off. But it was a 1 or 2 year old black bear and he kept circling our camp. A little more bear spray and some well placed rocks were needed to push him across the river. Fortunate to have it happen on the last day of camp!
Our base camp for the week was a short walk from the the South Fork of the Flathead River. The South Fork begins in the Bob Marshall Wilderness at the confluence of Danaher Creek and Youngs Creek. Its flow increasing with the contributions of the White River , Big and Little Salmon creeks, Black Bear Creek, and other tributaries. Overall, the South Fork flows more than 60 miles through designated wilderness and National Forest lands before emptying into Hungry Horse Reservoir. The main river corridor was popular with boaters and backpackers stopping to camp. That said, our group only encountered a handful of anglers on one of the seven days.
The fishing was good in the smaller creeks as well, but I would say the South Fork Flathead held the larger Westslope cutthroat. The fishing turned out to be a bit more technical than I imagined for remote, cutthroat water. A couple of factors probably led to this. One, flows in feeder streams and the South Fork were typical for mid summer - low and extremely clear. Two, the larger cutthroats over 14 inches held in deeper pools were the flows were slower. Smaller flies (sz. 16 to 18) combined with drag-fee drifts resulted in a way better strike ratio. You don't need to pack a large collection of flies to be successful in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Fly fishing go tos include the popular attractor dry flies like Black Humpies, Royal Wulffs, Renegades as well as Elk-hair Caddis, Parachute Adams, Stimulators, hoppers, ants and foam beetles.
We lucked out on the weather and had only one serious thunderstorm the night before we journeyed into The Bob. The last week of July provided ideal flows and temps on the South Fork of the Flathead for both the fish and the wading. One of the nicest and most extensive freestone rivers I've fished. Pack studded boots when you go! As a freestone river, the South Fork of the Flathead is vulnerable to the amount and timing of runoff. It's typically unfishable until mid to late June. In years of heavy precipitation or runoff, it may not come into shape until after early July. A reasonable time frame to fish the South Fork inside the Bob Marshall Wilderness is between July 15 and October 15.
South Fork Flathhead River Access
The lower South Fork Flathead can be accessed by foot or horseback via the Meadow Creek Trailhead. This trailhead served as the entry and exit for my group trip into the Bob. The trail (TR 80) parallels the east bank of the river to Black Bear Creek. The Meadow Creek Trail traces the rim of the Meadow Creek Gorge for the first three miles or so. Accessing the Flathead River from the rim of the gorge is black-diamond for sure and dangerous at best. I would recommend trekking further along the trail and begin fishing outside the gorge.

My children grew up with a mother who makes fetish clothes of rubber. It was not always easy to explain what I do ;-) but I believe that I managed to bring up my children with a sensible attitude to sexuality and especially with a healthy alertness towards people and things.

Abstract: (9472 Views)
Introduction: Heterotopic pregnancy is defined as a spontaneous intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy. The incidence of this type of pregnancy is estimated at 1 in 30,000 in the general population. This Pregnancy is commonly seen in the use of vitro fertilization and ovarian induction. It is a life-threatening disease. It may be ignored in diagnostic procedures; therefore, this can change into a diagnostic and therapeutic problem for physicians. In this study, we report a case of heterotopic pregnancy in a 37-year-old woman who was undergone laparotomy and
curettage.
Description: A 37-year-old woman presented with a history of two times cesarean section surgery and an ectopic pregnancy that has been self-absorbed in the last 6 months. The patient has been referred to physician because of the delay in menstruation since 3 last weeks. Considering the ultrasonography that has been done for the patient, a picture of gestational sac with a normal shape and position, normal and uniformly decidual reaction containing yolk sac without embryo in the uterine cavity with free fluid in the pelvic cavity indicated the heterotopic pregnancy. The gestational age was estimated based on MSD of 5w+5d. The patient has been undergone laparotomy surgery. The ovary and right fallopian have been removed and
curettage has been done.
Conclusion: Heterotopic pregnancy can occur in normal cycles and in the absence of any predisposing risk factors. Therefore, pregnant women should consider the possibility of heterotopic pregnancy as the diagnosis of intrauterine pregnancy cannot rule out the possibility
of concomitant ectopic pregnancy.

Q: How can I use single where clause instead of two identical ones? Here is my query:
SELECT *
FROM posts p1
CROSS JOIN (SELECT COUNT(*) cnt, COUNT(amount) cntamt
            FROM posts p2
            WHERE p2.type = 0
               OR p2.amount IN ( :vals2 )
               OR p2.date_time BETWEEN :s2 AND :e2) t
WHERE p1.type = 0
   OR p1.amount IN ( :vals1 )
   OR p1.date_time BETWEEN :s1 AND :e1
ORDER BY p1.id
LIMIT 0,2

As you see, there are two where clauses into query above, and both are completely identical. Now I want to know, how can I write the query with single where clause?

A: This is a pain in MySQL, because it does not support CTEs.  One solution is to use a view.  But that won't work because you have parameters.
Variables are another option
SELECT p.*, @cnt as cnt, @amt as cntamt
FROM (SELECT p.*,
             (@cnt := @cnt + 1) as tmp_cnt,
             (@amt := @amt + (case when amount is not null then 1 else 0 end)) as tmp_amt
      FROM posts p CROSS JOIN
           (SELECT @cnt := 0, @amt := 0) params
      WHERE p.type = 0 OR
            p.amount IN ( :vals2 ) OR
            p.date_time BETWEEN :s2 AND :e2
     ) t
ORDER by p.id;

A: results of COUNT(*) cnt and  COUNT(amount) is same so if you explane what the pupose of this query/what are you trying to get as result can help in better way but for the moment you can use the following:
select * from posts a ,(select count(*),count(column1),column1,column2 from posts group by column1,column2 ) b  where a.column1=b.column1 and a.column2=b.column2 where a.column1=:column1 and a.column2 in (:column2);

Pickle Power! The family-friendly sport that's taking over Utah

By Justin Adams | [email protected]
You've probably seen them at a park near your house: miniature-sized versions of tennis courts filled with people smacking a yellow Wiffle ball back and forth. The courts (and the sport itself) seem to have sprung up overnight. If you haven't played yet yourself, you surely know someone who does. Someone who has probably asked you with all the zeal of a missionary deployed by a crazed sport-religion hybrid: Do you play pickleball?
Interest in pickleball has doubled in just the last three years, at least according to data from Google Trends. A sport that most people hadn't even heard of five years ago is now a third as popular as tennis and half as popular as bowling. It's already far surpassed sports like disc golf and badminton.
While the sport is certainly exploding nationwide, nowhere is its popularity greater than here in Utah. More Utahns search for information about pickleball than residents of any other state, again according to Google Trends. Arizona is close behind, and most states' interest in the sport is less than half of what it is in Utah.
So why is pickleball gaining popularity so fast? And why is Utah at the head of its growth? But most importantly, why is it called pickleball?
The game got its start in 1965 in Washington state, when Joel Pritchard, a state congressman spliced together a few elements from various sports during a hot summer weekend at his home on Bainbridge Island.
Pritchard's backyard had a badminton court, but when he couldn't find any badminton equipment, he instead grabbed some ping pong paddles and a plastic ball. Along with his friends and family, Pritchard developed a set of rules for this newly invented game over the course of that weekend.
As for how it got its name, legend has it that it's named after the Pritchard family's dog. "The Pritchards had a dog named Pickles, and you're having fun at a party, right? So anyways, what the hell, let's just call it pickleball," said Barney McCallum, one of the sports' cofounders.
The sport grew slowly over several decades. By 2003, there were only 39 known places to play the sport in North America, according to the USA Pickleball Association website.
However, that same year the sport was added to the Huntsman World Senior Games, a multi-sport competitive event that draws seniors from all over the world to St. George, Utah.
"There were questions about whether a sport named pickleball would ever be the next big thing," said Kyle Case, the current CEO of the event. "But we just decided to get behind it and see where it goes."
It ended up going all over the country.
"Those players came from all over Utah but also the United States," Case said. "They had a great experience then went home and taught their friends how to play. In a lot of ways, that first year in 2003 really created a big opportunity for it to spread."
An old folks' game?
The fact that one of pickleball's first big exposures to the world came through an event targeted towards seniors is no coincidence. The mechanics and rules of pickleball create a sport that is accessible to just about everyone, including seniors. In return, the senior community has been a driving force in its growing popularity.
Because pickleball courts are a fraction of the size of tennis courts, players don't need to cover as much ground, particularly since doubles is the most popular form of the sport. This allows players, who maybe aren't as quick as they used to be, to still excel at the sport.
"What I find in my senior community is their mobility might not be there, but once they get to the line, they have all the motion they need," said Linda Weeks, a Parks and Rec employee in Farmington who has been helping organize pickleball tournaments in Utah for years.
Weeks thinks the sports' ability to cater to both the young and old is a big part of why it's grown so fast in Utah, where there are big families who like to be outside doing activities together. In one recent tournament, Weeks said a grandmother and her grandson ended up taking second place. "I don't know what other kinds of sports out there would lend themselves to that kind of generation gap," she said.
Drew Wathey, a spokesperson for the USA Pickleball Association told the City Journals that demographics changes have a lot to do with the sports' growing popularity. "Society is getting older. A lot of the baby boomers are hitting retirement age and they're not able to be quite as active as they used to be, and pickleball is a natural transition," he said.
Replacing tennis?
The high demand for pickleball courts is visible all over Salt Lake valley. In Cottonwood Heights, three recently installed pickleball courts proved to not be nearly enough to meet demand and so three additional courts were just added. In Bluffdale, Salt Lake County's Wardle Fields Park, which opened in 2017, included 16 pickleball courts, and in a possibly symbolic move, not a single tennis court.
"Sometimes sports run in cycles. Tennis has hit somewhat of a plateau," Wathey said.
At the Huntsman World Senior Games, registrations for pickleball have surpassed that of tennis, according to Case. "Four years ago we opened up registration at midnight. Within two minutes, the pickleball registration was full," he said. Because of that event, the Games have changed their registration process for pickleball to be more like a lottery.

The possibility of pickleball supplanting tennis is ironic, considering the overlap of the two similar sports. One of the first articles about pickleball appeared in Tennis magazine and some of the best pickleball players are former tennis pros.
Weeks agreed that pickleball seems to be putting a dent in the tennis community. A tennis player and coach herself, she said she knows several former tennis players who switched to pickleball as their primary sport. Pickleball also makes more sense when municipalities are trying to decide what amenities to include in their public parks, she said. "Some of those tennis courts that aren't looking very good, it makes more sense to put in pickleball courts. They are more family friendly and don't take up as much space."
With pickleball quickly gaining ground on tennis, it may be only a matter of time before a pickleball equivalent of Wimbledon is broadcast on ESPN.
Is it possible that pickleball is a passing fad? A sport that spikes in popularity for a few years but eventually dies out leaving thousands of empty unused courts in its wake? Not likely, according to Wathey.
"I don't really see a downturn for the sport anytime soon," he said. "It's incredible. More courts are being built, and we don't see a plateau in that. They're popping up all over the country."
Another factor that will help the sport continue its rise is its affordability, Wathey noted.
Pickleball sets that include 2 to 4 paddles and balls range from $20 to $60 on Amazon, whereas a single high-quality tennis racket can easily run north of $100. That low barrier of entry combined with an ever-increasing supply of courts means more people are getting into the sport.
"I never would have guessed that it would have been to this extent already," Weeks said. "I talk to people every day who say, 'What's up with this pickleball thing, can you explain it to me?'"

Q: Why does my Monodroid application run slower in a Release build than in a Debug build? I have a quite CPU intensive Monodroid app (multithreaded image processing, lots of floating point operations) and for some reason a release build run much slower than a debug build. Processing an image takes perhaps 7 secs in debug mode (without debugger attached) and 21 secs in release mode. Any ideas why?
The test was done with a Galaxy Tab 8.9 (1GHz dual core).
I'm using the Monodevelop environment and there is an Optimization compiler option, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

A: You might want to ensure that you've included the armeabi-v7a runtime in your package.  There should be an option somewhere in your project properties.

Risking Lives to Promote Climate Change Hype

"No matter if the science of global warming is all phony…
climate change provides the greatest opportunity to
bring about justice and equality in the world."
– Christine Stewart,
former Canadian Minister of the Environment
"It doesn't matter what is true,
it only matters what people believe is true."
– Paul Watson,
co-founder of Greenpeace
Another cracking article from CFACT's Paul Driessen on global warming eco-warriers – driven by misguided ideology, confused hypothesis and failed models, who embark on hardcore climate disaster adventures, risking the lives of themselves and others.
Hopefully, all these rescue helicopters were solar-powered. Hardcore climate disaster adventurers should not be relegated to choppers fueled by evil fossil fuels. They may be guilty of believing their own alarmist press releases – but losing digits or ideological purity is a high price to pay.
Written by Paul Driessen via Principia Scientific Int.
Will global warming alarmists ever set aside their hypotheses, hyperbole, models and ideologies long enough to acknowledge what is actually happening in the real world outside their windows? Will they at least do so before setting off on another risky, misguided adventure? Before persuading like-minded or naïve people to join them? Before forcing others to risk life and limb to transport – and rescue – them? If history is any guide, the answer is: Not likely.
The absurd misadventures of University of New South Wales climate professor Chris Turney is but the latest example.He and 51 co-believers set out to prove manmade global warming is destroying the East Antarctic ice sheet. Perhaps they'd been reading Dr. Turney's website, which claims "an increasing body of evidence" shows "melting and collapse" across the area. They and the captain and 22 crewmen of the (diesel-powered) Russian charter ship Akademik Shokalskiy should have gotten a second opinion.
Instead of finding open water, they wound up trapped in record volumes of unforgiving ice, from Christmas Eve untilJanuary 2 – ensnared by Mother Nature's sense of humor and their own hubris. The 52 climate tourists were finally rescued by a helicopter sent from Chinese icebreaker Xue Long, which itself became locked in the ice. The misadventurers were transferred to Australian icebreaker Aurora Australis, but the Shokalskiy remains entombed, awaiting the arrival of US Coast Guard icebreaker Polar Star. (Meanwhile, Tourney hopes to get more grants to study manmade global warming, to help him make more money from his Carbonscape company, which makes "green" products from CO2 recovered from the atmosphere.)
As to his expertise, Dr. Tourney couldn't even gauge the ice conditions the 74 crewmen and passengers were about to sail into. And yet we are supposed to believe his alarmist forecasts about Earth's climate.
NASA reports that Antarctic sea ice is now the largest expanse since scientists began measuring its extent in 1979: 19.5 million square miles (12,461,000,000 acres) – 5.5 times the size of the entire United States. Another report says ocean melting of western Antarctica's huge Pine Island Glacier ice shelf is at the lowest level ever recorded, and less than half of what it was in 2010. Reminding us of Monty Python's pet store clerk, Turney nonetheless insists that the sea ice is actually melting, and his communications director says the record sea ice is due to … global warming! (As they say, fiction has to make sense.)
Equally amazing, the Shokalskiy was apparently not equipped with adequate wind and weather monitoring and forecasting capabilities. The expedition had to contact climate realists John Coleman, Anthony Watts and Joe Daleo for information that would allow them to plan their helicopter rescue.
All of this raises serious questions that most media have ignored. How could Tourney put so many lives and vessels at risk – people he persuaded to join this expedition, the ship and crew they hired, the ships and helicopter and crews that came to their rescue? How did he talk the Russian captain into sailing into these dangerous waters? Who will pay for the rescue ships and their fuel and crews? What if one of the ships sinks – or someone dies? What is Tourney's personal liability?
This may be the most glaring example of climate foolishness. But it is hardly the first.
In 2007, Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen set off across the Arctic in the dead of winter, "to raise awareness about global warming," by showcasing the wide expanses of open water they were certain they would encounter. Instead, temperatures inside their tent plummeted to -58 F (-50 C), while outside the nighttime air plunged to -103 F (-75 C). Facing frostbite, amputated fingers and toes or even death, the two were airlifted out a bare 18 miles into their 530-mile expedition.
The next winter it was British swimmer and ecologist Lewis Gordon Pugh, who planned to breast-stroke across open Arctic seas. Same story. Then fellow Brit Pen Hadow tried, and failed. In 2010 Aussie Tom Smitheringale set off to demonstrate "the effect that global warming is having on the polar ice caps." He was rescued and flown out, after coming "very close to the grave," he confessed.
All these intrepid explorers tried to put the best spin on their failures. "One of the things we see with global warming is unpredictability," Bancroft-Arnesen expedition coordinator Anne Atwood insisted. "But global warming is real, and with it can come extreme unpredictable changes in temperature," added Arnesen. "Global warming can mean colder. It can mean wetter. It can mean drier. That's what we're talking about," Greenpeace activist Stephen Guilbeault chimed in.
It's been said insanity is hitting your thumb repeatedly with a hammer, expecting it won't hurt the next time. It's also believing hype, models and delusions, instead of real world observations. Or thinking taxpayers are happy to pay for all the junk science behind claims that the world faces dangerous manmade global warming.
The fact is, Antarctic ice shelves have broken up many times over the millennia. Arctic ice has rebounded since its latest low ebb around September 2007. Despite steadily rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, average global temperatures have been stable or declining since 1997. Seas are rising at barely seven inches per century. And periods of warmer or colder global and polar climates are nothing new.
Vikings built homes, grew crops and raised cattle in Greenland between 950 and 1300, before they were frozen out by the Little Ice Age and encroaching pack ice and glaciers. Many warm periods followed, marked by open seas and minimal southward extent of Arctic sea ice, as noted in ships' logs and discussed in scientific papers by Torgny Vinje and other experts. But warm periods of 1690-1710, 1750-1780 and 1918-1940, for instance, were often preceded and followed by colder temperatures, severe ice conditions and maximum southward ice packs, as during 1630-1660 and 1790-1830.
"Not only in the summer, but in the winter the ocean [in the Bering Sea region] was free of ice, sometimes with a wide strip of water up to at least 200 miles away from the shore," Swedish explorer Oscar Nordkvist reported in 1822, in a document rediscovered by astrophysicist Willie Soon.
"We were astonished by the total absence of ice in the Barrow Strait," Francis McClintock, captain of the Fox, wrote in 1860. "I was here at this time in 1854 – still frozen up – and doubts were entertained as to the possibility of escape."
In 1903, during the first year of his three-year crossing of the Northwest Passage, Roald Amundsen noted that his party "had made headway with ease," because ice conditions had been "unusually favorable."
The 1918-1940 warming also resulted in Atlantic cod increasing in population and expanding their range some 800 miles, to the Upernavik area of Greenland, fisheries biologist Ken Drinkwater has reported.
Climate change is certainly real. It's been real throughout Earth and human history – including the Roman and Medieval Warm Periods, Little Ice Age and Dust Bowl, and through countless other cycles of warming and cooling, flood and drought, storm and calm, open polar seas and impassable ice.
Humans clearly influence weather and climate on a local scale – through heat and emissions from cities and cars, our clearing of forests and grasslands, our diversion of rivers. But that is not the issue.
The fundamental issue is this: Are humans causing imminent, unprecedented, global climate change disasters? And can we prevent those alleged disasters, by drastically curtailing hydrocarbon use, slashing living standards, and imposing government control over industries and people's lives? If you look at actual evidence – instead of computer model forecasts and "scenarios" – the answer is clearly: No.

The Great Global Warming Climate Shift

The climate is changing, but it's not changing the way climate change crowd predicted it would. Nature has made a mockery of global warming, so who are the real climate deniers?
2013 witnessed a score of Clitanic events that didn't quite go the way the man-made Global Warming protagonists would have liked them to…
2013 paved way for the largest growth in Arctic sea ice extent ever reordered, culminating in the most global sea ice ever recorded by the years end.
Coldest Arctic temperatures ever recorded.
The rising seas that are meant to inundate us all are not rising so fast, with a new paper finding the rate of sea level rise has in fact decelerated from 3.2mm/yr to only 1.8mm/yr since 2004.
In their 2013 AR5 climate report, the IPCC reluctantly confirmed their 2012 SREX extreme weather findings, concluding "We do not know if the climate is becoming more extreme".
The year ended with the least amount of landfall Hurricanes in the US ever recorded and the 9 year record drought of category 3-5 Hurricanes to hit the continent rolls on.
2013 witnessed the fewest number of Tornadoes and the 2nd slowest fire season ever recorded in the US.
The Global Warming alarmists worst nightmare, the "standstill" in global temperature, marched on into its 17th year, unfazed by the pesky fact that 35% of all human CO² emissions, since 1751, have been emitted over the same period.
And the year ended in the biggest blow to the Global Warming PR machine since Climategate, with UNSW Global Warming alarmist, Prof Chris Turney's Global Warming taxpayer funded scientific research vessel "Academik Shokalskiy" stuck fast in record breaking Antarctic sea ice.
(for more climate indicators see : State Of The Climate Report)
2014 hasn't been a kind start either, with the "Polar Vortex" putting much of the Northern Hemisphere into a deep freeze, causing the public to question, with reason, the validity of the "catastrophic global warming" theory.
Many leading climate scientists have been warning that a dramatic shift to a colder climate may be upon us and cooling could continue at least until 2030. Others are less optimistic, claiming the predicted cooling phase could last until the end of the century, as the planet transitions into another Little Ice Age, or worse.
Studies cite the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) moving into "cool" or "negative" phase that flipped in 1998, around the time atmospheric temperatures went into "Pause" mode.
Numerous other studies, that not only confirm the observed 'Climate Shift' but have also predicted it, centre around that big yellow fireball in the sky – a natural climate variable that the IPCC and the warmist community of scientists discount as having anything to do with global climate change. "It's all CO2" they cry, seemingly unaware that CO² has done nothing to change the temperature of the globe over the past 17 years, despite 35% of all human CO² emissions, since 1751, emitted over the same period.
CO² certainly didn't drive climate change in the past, as Vostok ice cores and numerous studies prove unequivocally. So why would it drive climate change now? Other than because Al Gore's "political propaganda" film told us so.
Enter a brilliant summary from CBN senior writer Dale Herd who examines the climate shift, not only in global temperatures, but also in the science and understating of the climate change debate, within a planet that clearly isn't warming at all…
Global Cooling : Is an Ice Age Coming?
By Dale Hurd, CBN News Sr. Reporter
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — It wasn't supposed to happen: a ship full of scientists and environmentalists sent to the Antarctic to find melting ice from global warming got stuck in frozen ice from fearsome cold.
Then, the rescue ship got stuck in the ice, too.
Critics liken the incident to the climate change movement itself: stuck in denial over the fact that the climate is not getting warmer but seems to be getting much colder.
Ice is not only growing in the South Pole, but in parts of the North Pole, too. And the coldest arctic temperatures in decades have descended upon North America.
But that didn't stop Greenpeace from trying to scare children last month with a video of a sweaty, beleaguered Santa Claus threatening to call off Christmas because the North Pole is melting.
The fact that Arctic ice is growing may not be the good news that it seems to be. There are signs that the Earth is entering a very unpleasant cooling period. Sunspot activity remains very low.
"The sun has been very unusual for almost 15 years now," Jens Pedersen, senior scientist at the Denmark's Technical University, said.
Pedersen said the sun recently reached solar maximum and that there should be a lot of sunspot activity, but there isn't.
"We have to go back 100 years to find a solar maximum that was as weak as the one we are in right now," he told CBN News. "And the recent solar minimum…one has to go back 200 years to find one that was as weak."
The last time the sun was this quiet, North America and Europe suffered through a weather event from the 1600s to the 1800s known as "Little Ice Age," when the Thames River in London regularly froze solid, and North America saw terrible winters. Crops failed and people starved.
Hiding the Evidence
Pedersen said climate scientists know the Earth stopped warming 15 years ago. But the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, of which Pedersen is an expert reviewer, suppressed a recent report from its own scientists that the U.N.'s climate model has been proven wrong.
"In particular one of the issues has been why global warming has stopped during the last 15 years, and climate scientists were very frank that the climate models do not match the climate we observe," Pedersen said.
But politicians removed that embarrassing finding from the final draft. It's as if the alleged danger from climate change can't be wrong because it is now too important.
It has become a political movement, a cash cow for climate scientists and environmental groups, and a way for world leaders to control economies and people.
"It's a political agenda," Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture at the Media Research Center, said. "When you look at what the government will be able to do with climate change, it gives them (access) into every aspect of our lives."
A Case of Climatism
Steve Goreham, author of The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism, calls it "climatism."
"It's an ideology and it's a belief that man-made greenhouse gases are destroying Earth's climate," Goreham explained. "But it has become a path for global change across the world for adopting green economies and electric cars and putting wind turbines everywhere and changing light bulbs."
And it doesn't matter how much the climate change prophets of doom get it wrong. Global warming advocate Al Gore claimed all the ice in the Arctic would be melted by now – but it's growing.
Others predicted a shrinking food supply and flooded coastlines. Hurricane Sandy and Typhoon Haiyan are said to be the result of climate change. But that ignores the fact that worse tropical cyclones occurred in the 1960s.
Nevertheless, the climate change agenda is moving forward. The world is already spending at least $250 billion a year on it, and environmentalists want more. Activists are demanding what they call "climate justice" from developed nations.
"What they really want to do is dump trillions into it, somewhere between one and three percent of global GDP," Gainor said.
Throwing the Poor Under the Bus?
Climate change skeptics have been censored and compared to Holocaust deniers and even child molesters. But forgotten in all the effort to save the world from warming is the effect on the world's poor.
Goreham said more than a billion people do not have access to electricity, and almost as many struggle with unreliable power. Cheap electricity from coal could be a savior for the world's poor.
But the world's wealthy nations don't want them to have it, all in the name of saving the planet from a crisis that mounting evidence suggests is non-existent.
(Climatism Links provided)
It's known by climatologists as the 'Little Ice Age', a period in the 1600s when harsh winters across the UK and Europe were often severe.
The severe cold went hand in hand with an exceptionally inactive sun, and was called the Maunder solar minimum.
Now a leading scientist from Reading University has told me that the current rate of decline in solar activity is such that there's a real risk of seeing a return of such conditions.
I've been to see Professor Mike Lockwood to take a look at the work he has been conducting into the possible link between solar activity and climate patterns.
According to Professor Lockwood the late 20th century was a period when the sun was unusually active and a so called 'grand maximum' occurred around 1985.
Since then the sun has been getting quieter.

Energy flow is driven by differences in energy.
Rocks fall from high potential energy to low potential energy
Electricity flows between negative and positive
Heat flows from warm places to cold places
Wind blows from high pressure to low pressure
If the Arctic warms faster than the equator, that reduces the temperature gradient and reduces the ability for heat to flow. It means fewer storms, fewer cold fronts, warmer air, etc. Consider Venus. It has a uniform hot temperature, and essentially no weather.
People who claim that a warming Arctic produces more cold air and storms, are scientific imbeciles. Enter Obama's science adviser. We are truly dealing with the stupidest people who ever walked the planet.

An excellent sauce for flavouring gravies, hashes, soups, etc.
Walnuts. To each quart of walnut-juice allow 3 quarts of vinegar, 1 pint of Indian soy, 1 ounce of cayenne, 2 ounces of shalots, 3/4 ounce of garlic, 1/2 pint of port wine.
Be very particular in choosing the walnuts as soon as they appear in the market; for they are more easily bruised before they become hard and shelled. Pound them in a mortar to a pulp, strew some salt over them, and let them remain thus for two or three days, occasionally stirring and moving them about. Press out the juice, and to each quart of walnut-liquor allow the above proportion of vinegar, soy, cayenne, shalots, garlic, and port wine. Pound each ingredient separately in a mortar, then mix them well together, and store away for use in small bottles. The corks should be well sealed.
Seasonable: This sauce should be made as soon as walnuts are obtainable, from the beginning to the middle of July.

Last Night In The NBA: Petty Russell Westbrook Is Not Someone You Mess With
Greenie12/20/2018 3:05 PM
Good morning everybody and welcome back to another edition of Last Night In The NBA where we bring you up to speed on everything that went down from the night before in the Association. I hope you didn't plan on working this morning because we have a shit ton of stuff to get to. The NBA blessed us with 12 games on the schedule last night so you may as well clear your calendar. Wednesday night had it all, upsets, close finishes, near fights with fans, players trolling players, it was awesome. If you didn't get the chance to watch any of it that's OK just keep reading, here's what happened.
Cleveland Cavaliers (8-24) 99 vs Charlotte Hornets (15-15) 110
That's more like it Cleveland. No need to get crazy and win two games in a row, there's tanking to be had. To be honest the Cavs didn't even play that poorly, they finished with 48/43% splits, only turned it over 8 times and actually had a 9 point lead early in this game. They got strong play from their bench wtih 20 points from Jordan Clarkson
and then 15 points from two way player Jaron Blossomgame who went 6-7 from the floor in his 23 minutes
If not for a crazy quarter by Kemba which we'll get to in a minute, the Cavs probably pull this one out and the last thing this team needs is a winning streak.
For CHA, as he often does, Kemba saved them
As a team the Hornets shot 51% to get them back to .500 and 11-7 at home, had 6 players in double figures and three with at least 18 points
Perhaps the most impressive was Jeremy Lamb's 18/12/5 on 8-16 shooting, and the Hornets need to go on a little bit of a run if they want to stay in the top 8, the problem is they are 4 games under .500 on the road. That has to improve.
New York Knicks (9-24) 109 vs Philadelphia 76ers (21-12) 131
Watch out for the Knicks man, they are pulling off a tanking masterpiece. I think this is their 10th loss in 12 games or something like that, and really you have to love it as a Knicks fan. With other tanking teams suddenly winning around the league they've kept their eye on the prize while also getting promising performances from their young talent
They sort of kept things close in the first half, down by 6 while scoring over 60 points, but then they got their shit together over the final 24 minutes, scored just 48 points and that was that.
For PHI, as is the case with most of their wins their Big 3 were great
and this was a much needed win for the Sixers who had hit of a little bit of a speed bump as of late, but this will certainly help their confidence as they face TOR up next who they really need to beat. What has also shown to be a great find off the bench is the play of Landry Shamet who had 17 off the bench with 4 3PM
they are really going to need his consistent shooting moving forward.
Phoenix Suns (8-24) 111 vs Boston Celtics (18-12) 103
We'll be talking about the Celtics in their usual blog. Safe to say I have some thoughts there. In the meantime, let's enjoy the dominance that the Suns young talent showed
Silly for them to win a road game, but they're hot right now winners of 4 straight. Who saw that coming?
San Antonio Spurs (17-15) 129 vs Orlando Magic (14-16) 90
What the hell? The Spurs dropped 129? On the road? Does this look like a team that's 5-10 on the road this year? They finished with 64/63% splits which has to be one of the better shooting performances by any team so far this season, and basically if you stepped on the floor for SA you got buckets. They played their entire roster and nobody missed more than 5 shots, that's impressive
They got off to a good start in the first quarter, blew it open in the second, and the rest was history. The Spurs have started to turn things around, now winners of 5 of their last 6 and have now found themselves owners of the 8 spot in the West where technically they are still within striking distance of a top 4 seed. Maybe they weren't dead like we all thought.
For ORL, without Vucevic because of the birth of his kid, we got to see the B.I.G lineup and it was OK. The team couldn't buy a bucket but Bamba/Isaac/Gordon did what you would expect. Bad news is Jonanthan Simmons sprained his ankle and the Magic have now lost 4 of 6. This was basically the highlight of their night
Indiana Pacers (20-12) 96 vs Toronto Raptors (24-9) 99
One of the better games of the night and it was not without controversy. The Raptors basically were trailing the entire night until the final moments, and while Kawhi was once again amazing
the hero of the night was Fred VlanVleet. I feel like we see him make huge last second threes a lot, and it's a main reason why he plays in crunch time and is one of the best bench players in the league
Their fourth quarter was classic TOR clamps, they held the Pacers to just 11 points and now move to 12-4 at home. This win stopped a two game slide and they have CLE up next so chances are things stay in this direction. Their lead is down to just 1.5 games over MIL, so they can't afford any sort of slide if they want to stay in the top spot.
For IND, as a Pacer fan, you're pissed. Let's be honest, OG fouled Bogdanovic at the end. It's OK to admit, the Raptors still deserved to win given how they came back, but don't tell me he wasn't fouled. He was.
but as a Pacers fan you also can't say that's why you lost. To put it nicely, they choked. You can't have 23 TOs on the road against perhaps the best team in the league right now and think that's going to work out well for you. Oladipo tried to do his part
and naturally Sabonis had another double double off the bench with 12/10, but the facts are they scored 38 second half points. That's going to get you beat every single time. The Pacers are still playing great overal, and a loss to TOR is nothing to hang you head on, but they had this one wrapped up and blew it.
Brooklyn Nets (15-18) 96 vs Chicago Bulls (7-25) 93
The Brooklyn Nets have the longest winning streak in the NBA. 7 in a row, just think about that for a second. Does it make sense? Nope. Does that matter? nope. Let their fans enjoy this moment
Who cares that their latest win came against the Bulls. 7 in a row is damn impressive and their doing it without a single All Star. How many other teams can say that?
For CHI, not too much to write home about other than the play of Kris Dunn who had 24/6
They are now 4-12 at home and have now lost 12 of their last 14. I don't think anyone is all that surprised that a red hot team came in and beat these guys.
New Orleans Pelicans (15-17) 115 vs Milwaukee Bucks (21-9) 123
I swear is the Pelicans would just play a lick of defense like 90% of their problems would be solved. They have the offensive talent to compete
they made 19 3PM which was a team record, hell they even got actual production from fucking Jahlil Okafor
I get being without Mirotic and Randle hurt them, but they still shot 46/45%. Their problem is on the defensive end, giving up another 120+ points and if you look at their recent slide you see a team that's giving up way too many points. Teams are too good in the West that you have to be able to defend, and if the Pelicans end up missing the playoffs, that's going to be the reason why.
For MIL, Giannis of course led the charge
and it was their first win over NO in over 2 years. They all chipped in
and for the first time since 2002 the Bucks are 12 games over .500 and within striking distance of TOR. Their matchup Friday against BOS is going to be pretty fucking important if you ask me. They need wins over fellow East contenders, so let's see if they can carry this on the road.
Detroit Pistons (15-14) 129 vs Minnesota Timberwolves (14-17) 123 F/OT
Pretty crazy game we had in MIN, it had everything from an awesome finish to Blake Griffin wanting to fight a fan
I'm a believer in just because you pay for a ticket doesn't mean you can be an asshole, so I wish Blake got to this guy because he would have murdered him. Anyway, back to the game. On the court Blake was his usual unstoppable self
and Reggie Bullock has been INSANE since coming back from his injury as he had another 33 and 7 3PM
A huge 40 point fourth quarter is what brought them back, and then from there the Wolves simply ran out of gas.
For MIN, they almost got away with it with this huge shot from Covington in regulation
and Derrick Rose was again pretty legit for them
and considering they were without KAT, I'd say the Timberwolves did better than expected. They've been getting great production from their two new additions and last night was no different as both Covington and Saric combined for 37 points and 7 3PM. Sadly though, like it often does, defense or lack thereof is what cost MIN, and they now slide to 12-5 at home and 3 games under .500
Washington Wizards (12-20) 118 vs Houston Rockets (16-14) 136
Listen, sometimes you just run into a buzzsaw, and that's what happened to the Wizards last night. The Rockets set the NBA record for 3PM in a game with 26, and when they get hot like that, forget about it
Harden continues to absolutely dominate opponents with another 35
CP3 got into the fun with 21 of his own
and all of the sudden the Rockets have won 5 in a row and are cooking. You knew it was only a matter of time before their luck changed, and now that the ball is going in they are tough as hell to beat.
For WSH, like I said they played well. Beal and Wall were awesome
they shot 53% for the game, even had a decent fourth quarter and bench production which is a struggle for them, but when a team makes nearly 30 threes, what can ya do.
Golden State Warriors (21-11) 103 vs Utah Jazz (15-17) 108
Yup the Jazz continue to make no sense whatsoever. They just beat GS shooting 39/38% while turning it over 16 times. How is that even possible? Donovan Mitchell went 5-26 and this team still won. Try and make sense of that shit
The Jazz finally climb to .500 at home and after losing 4 of their last 5 really needed this win before they hit the road to POR which is a tough place to play. After losing by 1 point to GS in the second game of the year, maybe they are just a good matchup or something because for whatever reason GS has trouble with this team.
For GS, outside of Durant and Curry nobody else really showed up
and if you're the Warriors obviously none of this matters because their season doesn't start for a few months. They know every team is going to be jazzed up to play them, but one loss doesn't change the fact that they are still the team to beat until proven otherwise.
Memphis Grizzlies (16-15) 92 vs Portland Trail Blazers (18-13) 99
If there's one thing you can count on, it's that when you face the Grizzlies you're in store for a slow paced grind it out slugfest. That's what we had in Portland last night with both teams not really able to score the ball which made for quite an exciting finish. Dame tried his best to shoulder the load for the Blazers, finishing with 24 points on 9-18 shooting
and he really came alive in the third quarter which ended up being the difference. Only one other POR starter finished in double figures which was McCollum who had 11 on 5-16 shooting, which meant that the Blazers really had to rely on their defense to pull this one out. That would encourage me if I rooted for this team.
For MEM, Conley matched Dame in terms of the point guard battle
but just like Dame he didn't get much help from anyone else. The Grizzlies are sneaky sliding right now, losers of 4 in a row and 6 of their last 7. Things are way too tight in the West for any sort of slide, and they face the sneaky good Kings up next so who knows how long this could last.
Oklahoma City Thunder (20-10) 132 vs Sacramento Kings (16-15) 113
When Paul George and Russell Westbrook are clicking like this, the Thunder are such a hard team to beat
I love when Westbrook gets on his troll game, and remember how De'Aaron Fox said he was the fastest dude in the league? Of course Westbrook heard that
Petty Westbrook rules.
On the night almost every Thunder player played well even guys like Jermi Grant who chipped in with 22 on 9-11 shooting
and Steven Adams who is a fucking monster
OKC has now won 3 in a row, is over .500 on the road and sit just 1 game back of the top spot in the West. They now have the best point differential in the West, and it's time to take them seriously if you hadn't been already. They sure turned their season around after a slow start.
For SAC, at least your young talent looked awesome
Depsite the loss the Kings are still playing better than most expected, and while they've lost 3 of 4 one of those was to GS who barely beat them, so as a Kings fan I would be happy with the product I'm seeing on the court. They are definitely a fun League Pass team that deserve your losing sleep over.
And that's it! You're now all caught up on everything that went down last night in the NBA. We're back tonight with just 2 games but if you'd rather do something else that's fine just check back in the morning and I'll bring you up to speed.

Samsung Elec pledges $116bn capex in Korea next 3 years
By Hwang Hyung-kyu and Lee Eun-joo
Samsung Group's flagship Samsung Electronics on Wednesday pledged 180 trillion won ($160.7 billion) spending - 130 trillion won in Korea - in its mainstay semiconductor operation as well as new growths of artificial intelligence, automated and connected technologies, and bioengineering over the next three years to help create 700,000 jobs.
The ambitious plan including direct hiring of 40,000 comes as facility investment has been in the longest slump this year in 18 years while job additions are at their worst in a decade to prompt the liberal government known to be hostile towards chaebols to ask for more hiring and investment from the country's richest and one of the world's biggest technology companies.
"We have decided to boost new investment and hiring to help revitalize the economy and promote new industries," the company said in a statement.
Its shares gained 0.21 percent to close at 46,800 won in Seoul trading on Wednesday.
Of the total investment, 72 percent or 130 trillion won will be spent in the country, which will have the effect of creating up to 700,000 new jobs.
The spending would amount to 43 trillion won annually, about the same level of Samsung Electronics' record 43.4 trillion won spending last year - which was the largest-ever annual spending for any publicly trading company in 2017- after finishing its best-ever year due to memory chip boom.
The bulk will go to uphold its competitive edge in chips and displays. About 25 trillion won will be spent on new growth areas of artificial intelligence, 5G connection, biopharmaceutical, and automotive electronics.
It will increase payroll by 40,000 over the next three years, nearly doubling from the original plan of 20,000 to 25,000.
The company also pledged to help create a so-called innovative ecosystem by sharing innovative capacity through training opportunities to 10,000 young job seekers over the next five years. It will sponsor 500 venture projects.
Samsung also plans to create a 110 billion won fund with the Ministry of SMEs and Startups over the next five years to help transform manufacturing facilities of 2,500 small and mid-size companies into smart ones and help them advance into other markets at home and abroad. Such plan will help create about 15,000 new jobs.
