Perrizo Enterprises
Perrizo Enterprises is KUAC's Featured Corporate Sponsor for June
Perrizo Enterprises, primarily a producer of lawn and garden soils, began 10 years ago. Jim Perrizo had purchased a piece of equipment at auction in 2008 with the intention of re-selling it. When that didn't occur, other doors opened. Flowline Alaska wanted to get rid of 70,000 cubic yards of decomposed organics that would make beautiful topsoil. At the same time, North Pole and Fort Wainwright were without a nearby source of lawn and garden soil, so the equipment, source of material and a market all unfolded in a year that Jim's job of producing ready mix concrete at Fairbanks Sand & Gravel didn't have a great deal of work. "Things fell in place," Jim said. "I have spent the better part of my working career overseeing the production of sand and gravel products, asphalt and concrete; adding another product to my experience seemed like a good fit."
Jim has listened to and watched public broadcasting nearly his entire life. Since coming to Fairbanks in 1994, he has been listening to KUAC FM. "I enjoy the programming and believe in the station's community interaction."

Kylie Jenner and Tyga have certainly had an on-and-off romance. They got back together last summer, after previously breaking up in May (or so the rumor mill said). However, their names have been linked for years – going back as far as 2014. Over the past few months though, they made their relationship social media official, wore coordinating outfits, and even celebrated family birthdays together. However, it seems as though their relationship might be headed for another dip – according to "insiders," that is.
People reports that Kylie and Tyga are currently taking a break – but it doesn't mean that they're breaking up. In fact, according to their "source," this is totally typical for the two stars. "They tend to take little breaks all the time and then get back together," the source told People. "It's definitely possible they'll work things out again."
Judging from their relationship pattern, we wouldn't be surprised if this was true. As always though, until we hear it from Kylie and Tyga themselves, we won't know for sure. In the mean time, we can always check her Snapchat for clues.

Q: CUDA C allocating GPU memory for a struct of structs I implemented a representation of screen with some number of pixels that can draw a simple pyramid (by assigning an RBG value for each pixel in the screen). While learning CUDA C, I wanted to re-implement it to assign these values in the GPU, but it was complicated for me to allocate memory properly for a struct of structs.
I already tried this on the CPU :
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct {
unsigned char r;
unsigned char g;
unsigned char b;
} Pixel;

typedef struct {
    unsigned int width;
    unsigned int height;
    Pixel* pxp ;
} Screen;
Screen* newScreen(int width, int height){
    Screen *sc=malloc(sizeof(Screen));

    sc->width=width;
    sc->height=height;
    sc->pxp=malloc(width*height*sizeof(Pixel));

    return sc;
}
void removeScreen(Screen* sc){
    free(sc->pxp);
    free(sc);
}
void drawPrmd(Screen *sc){
    for(long int i=0;i<sc->height;i++){
        int index=(int) (i*sc->width +sc->width/2);

        for(long int j=index;j>=index-i;j--){
            if((j< (sc->height*sc->width))&&(j>0)){
                sc->pxp[j].r=255;
                sc->pxp[j].b=255;
                sc->pxp[j].g=255;
            }
        }
        for(long int j=index;j<=index+i;j++){
            if((j< (sc->height*sc->width))&&(j>0)){
            sc->pxp[j].r=255;
            sc->pxp[j].b=255;
            sc->pxp[j].g=255;
            }
        }
    }
}
void printScreen(Screen * sc){
    for(int i=0;i<sc->height;i++){
        for(int j=0;j<sc->width;j++){
            printf("(%u) \t",sc->pxp[i*sc->width+j].r);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
}

int main(){
    Screen *sc1=newScreen(80,80);
    drawPrmd(sc1);
    printScreen(sc1);
    removeScreen(sc1);

}

when tried to implement it to work on the GPU, I had a problem with allocating GPU memory :
Screen* newScreenGPU(int width, int height){

    Screen *sc;
    if(cudaMalloc((void **) &sc,sizeof(Screen))!=cudaSuccess)
        printf("Error allocating GPU memory for screen \n");

    if(cudaMalloc((void **) sc->pxp,width * height*sizeof(Pixel))!=cudaSuccess)
        printf("Error allocating GPU memory for pixels \n");
    return sc;
}

**it compiles smoothly but I get Segmentation fault (core dumped) exactly at memory allocation for pixels (second allocation).
-Expected: allocating memory and assigning RGB values for pixels.
-Actual result: Segmentation fault (core dumped).

Putin accuses US of 'leaking' the flight path of downed Russian jet
Latest Stories World
By Editor November 30, 2015
Russian leader Vladimir Putin has claimed that US had "leaked" the flight path of the downed Russian jet to Turkey. Mr. Putin said that America, as the leader of coalition against ISIS, is responsible to ensure that no warplanes are targeted by member countries.
On November 24, Turkish forces shot down a Russian jet, allegedly after warning the warplane 10 times of violating the country's airspace. Russia had dismissed the claims of warnings as "rubbish". One Russian pilot was killed after the incident while the other was later rescued by Russian forces.
In a joint press conference with French President Francois Holande, Vladimir Putin claimed "The American side knew about the location and times of our planes' flights, and we were hit exactly there and at that time." Although Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues to refuse for the incident, he appears to strike a more reconciliatory note and suggested that his forces "may have warned it differently" were they in the loop about the Russian plan.

Buying a new car is one of the most significant purchases you'll ever make in life, and it is important to know exactly what you want before you start signing the paperwork.
Let's take a deeper look at each of these new car questions.
1. What Features Are Important to Me?
When buying a new car, it's important to ask yourself how you're going to be using the car. If you have a large family, you'll likely want a vehicle that has good gas mileage, plenty of seating (ideally enough seating for 6-8 because you'll appreciate the extra room), and dependability.
However, if you need to tow a trailer on the weekends, you'll want a car that has a good tow rating and a payload that can handle everything.
Don't forget to consider any changes that your life or your family may see in the future. Families expecting new children in the next couple of years will likely want to avoid the two-seater sports cars for obvious reasons. On the other hand, if you have travel on the road a lot, a smaller car will help you save more on gas and other costs along the way.
2. What Type of Warranty Should I Look for?
You still want to make sure you know exactly what a vehicle's warranty covers before purchase. Some basic warranties cover a vehicle's "bumper to bumper" composition that includes nearly everything from the front of the car's bumper to the back.
Most Powertrain warranties, however, cover the things that the automakers manufacture such as the engine, drivetrain, the air conditioning, and electrical system.
Warranties tend to vary based on the automaker, dealership and the vehicles themselves, but you'll want to make sure you're actually getting a good deal. For example, some car manufacturers offer excellent warranties that may seem too good to be true, and they often are. Always read the full warranty!
You don't want to encounter any unwanted repairs in the future, but you want to be sure that you read all the warranty terms so that you adhere to them closely and don't run the risk of voiding your coverage.
3. What Is Within My Budget?
The total value of your vehicle should never be more than half your annual income. So, if you make $50,000 per year, your car should not cost more than $25,000.
Another rule to keep in mind is that you shouldn't spend more than 50% of your monthly income on a fixed expense such as a car payment.
So, if you're trying to decide what you can afford, make sure that whatever total car payment you end up with doesn't exceed that amount.
4. Are There any Extra Features I Want?
More new car dealers than ever are offering in-dash, technology options like satellite navigation, internet access, and infotainment systems.
For some people, these features are extremely important while others would like to keep the additional costs of buying a new car as low as possible. It all comes down to how important these features are to you and your needs.
5. Are There Additional Fees I Need to Consider?
When you're getting ready to purchase a new car, remember that you're paying for more than just the car itself.
Documentation, registry fees, and sales tax are standard, but there may be additional fees at some dealerships like preparation fees. Don't be afraid to ask questions so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Let's face it: we all have negative people in our lives whose words or actions annoy us. Why not try taking a 'glass half full' view regarding your interactions with them?
Draw value from the naysayer by remaining objective and positive in your thinking. Occasionally, naysayers will point out valid hurdles or challenges that you haven't seen. With their help – and if you can remain objective and positive – you'll be able to better prepare or respond accordingly.
Remember this technique when you are interviewing. You may find that you need to be a little patient in helping the interviewee understand the link between your experience and future desires with the position you are interested in.
I say bring on the naysayers!


Inland Empire, sometimes styled as INLAND EMPIRE, is a 2006 mystery film written and directed by David Lynch. It was his first feature-length film since 2001's Mulholland Drive, and shares many similarities with that film. It premiered in Italy at the Venice Film Festival on September 6, 2006. The feature took two and a half years to complete, and was Lynch's first film to have been shot entirely in standard definition digital video. The film is a co-production of France, Poland, and the United States.
The cast includes such Lynch regulars as Laura Dern, Justin Theroux, Harry Dean Stanton and Grace Zabriskie, as well as Jeremy Irons and Diane Ladd. There are also very brief appearances by Nastassja Kinski, William H. Macy, Laura Harring, Terry Crews, Mary Steenburgen, and Ben Harper. The voices of Harring, Naomi Watts, and Scott Coffey are included in excerpts from Lynch's Rabbits website project.
The film opens to the sound of a gramophone playing Axxon N, "the longest-running radio play in history". Meanwhile, a young prostitute, identified in the credits as the "Lost Girl", cries while watching television in a hotel room, following an unpleasant encounter with her client. The Lost Girl's television displays a family of surreal anthropomorphic rabbits who speak in cryptic statements. These three elements become recurring motifs throughout Inland Empire.
The majority of the first act takes place in Los Angeles. A local actress named Nikki Grace (Laura Dern) has applied for a comeback role in a film entitled On High in Blue Tomorrows. The day before the audition, Nikki is visited by an enigmatic old woman from Poland (Grace Zabriskie) who claims to be her neighbour. The old woman insists that Nikki has won the role, and recounts two Polish folk tales. One tells of a boy who, sparking a reflection after passing through a doorway, "caused evil to be born". The other tells of a girl who, wandering through an alleyway behind a marketplace, "discovers a palace". The old woman presses Nikki for details on her new film, asking whether the story is about marriage and involves murder. Nikki denies both, but her neighbour violently insists that she is wrong. Disregarding Nikki's troubled response, the old woman comments on the confusion of time, claiming that were this tomorrow, Nikki would be sitting on a couch adjacent to them. The film then pans to where the neighbour is pointing, and we see Nikki and two girlfriends sitting on the couch. Her butler walks into the living room – where the old woman no longer reclines – with a phone call from her agent, announcing that she has won the role. Ecstatic, Nikki and her friends celebrate while her husband Piotrek (Peter J. Lucas) ominously surveys them from atop a nearby stairwell.
Some time later, Nikki and her co-star Devon Berk (Justin Theroux) receive an interview on a talk show called The Marilyn Levees Show. The host (Diane Ladd) asks both actors whether they are having an affair, to which each of them respond negatively. Devon has been warned by his entourage that Nikki is out-of-bounds, due to her husband's power and influence. Later, on the set being built for the film, Nikki and Devon rehearse a scene with the director Kingsley (Jeremy Irons). They are interrupted by a disturbance, but Devon finds nothing upon investigation. Shaken by the event, Kingsley confesses that they are shooting a remake of a German feature entitled 47. Production was abandoned after both leads were murdered, creating rumours of the film being cursed due to its roots in an old Polish folk tale.
Immersed in her character "Sue", Nikki appears to begin an affair with Devon – under the guise of his own character "Billy". While filming a scene in which her character buys groceries, Nikki notices a door in the alley marked Axxon N, and enters. It leads to a room behind the studio, where she can see herself rehearsing her lines weeks earlier. When Devon is sent to find who's lurking backstage, Nikki realizes that she was the disturbance, causing her to flee among the half-built backgrounds and into the house of another character named Smithy. Despite the set being merely a wooden facade, Nikki enters to find an illuminated suburban house inside. Devon looks through the windows, but sees only darkness.
At this point, the film takes a drastic stylistic turn. Various plotlines and scenes begin to entwine and complement each other. The chronological order is often confused or nonexistent. Inside the house, Nikki finds her husband in bed. Hiding from him, she encounters a troupe of prostitutes. One of the women advises her to "gaze through a burn hole in the silk". Nikki complies and witnesses several strange happenings – many of which seem to revolve around her, or an alternate version of herself.
The woman who plays Doris Side – Billy's wife in the film (Julia Ormond), tells a policeman that she has been hypnotized to murder someone with a screwdriver – but finds the screwdriver embedded in her own side. A mysterious organization claims to have captives from Inland Empire. In the past, Polish prostitutes are confronted by strange pimps while murder permeates their city. Nikki, having become one of the prostitutes in the present, wanders the streets while her companions directly ask the audience "Who is she?" Both Nikki and her prostitutes frequently ask people to look at them, and say whether "you've known me before". In a parallel plotline, Sue climbs the dark staircase behind a nightclub to deliver a long monologue to a police detective named Mr. K – which touches upon her childhood molestations, disastrous relationships and revenge missions. Her husband Smithy seems to be connected with both the pimps and the organization – and is said to be good with animals, hence his job with a circus from Poland. There is much talk of The Phantom, an elusive hypnotist. Convinced she's being stalked by a red-lipped man, Sue arms herself with a screwdriver.
Finally, Sue walks down Hollywood Boulevard, and is startled to see her doppelgänger across the street. Before Sue can investigate, Doris arrives and attempts to kill her, having been hypnotized by The Phantom. Sue is brutally stabbed in the stomach with her own screwdriver, causing her to stagger down the street and eventually collapse next to some homeless people on the corner of Hollywood and Vine. An Afro-American woman remarks that Sue is dying, then proceeds to debate with another, younger homeless woman about taking a bus to Pomona. Her companion talks at length about a friend named Niko – the prostitute whose blond wig makes her look like a movie star, thus allowing her to walk through the rich district without drawing attention. The Afro-American woman comforts Sue by holding a lighter in front of her face, until she finally dies, "having no more blue tomorrows". Off-camera, Kingsley yells "cut", and the camera pans back to show this has merely been a film scene.
As the actors and film crew wrap for the next scene, Sue slowly arises, Nikki once more. Kingsley announces that her scenes for the film are complete. In a daze, Nikki wanders off set and into a nearby cinema, where she sees not only On High in Blue Tomorrows – encompassing some of the subplots of the film – but events that are currently occurring. She wanders to the projection room, but finds an apartment building marked *Axxon N*. Eventually, Nikki confronts the red-lipped man from earlier, now known to be The Phantom. She shoots him, which causes his face to morph first into a distorted copy of Nikki's own face, but then into something resembling a foetus bleeding from its mouth.
Nikki flees into a nearby room – Room 47, which houses the rabbits on television, though she fails to see them. Elsewhere in the building, Nikki finds The Lost Girl, who has been watching and crying all along. The two women kiss, before Nikki fades away into the light along with the rabbits. The Lost Girl runs out of the hotel and into Smithy's house, where she happily embraces a man and child.
Nikki is then seen back home, triumphantly smiling at the old woman from the beginning of the film. The concluding scene takes place at her house, where she sits with many other people, among them Laura Harring, Nastassja Kinski and Ben Harper. A one-legged woman who was mentioned in Sue's monologue looks around and says, "Sweet!" Niko, the girl with the blonde wig and monkey, can also be seen. The end credits roll over a group of women dancing to Nina Simone's "Sinnerman" while a lumberjack saws a log to the beat.


Sportswear manufacturer Puma has defended the controversial one-piece kit worn by Cameroon at the 2004 African Cup of Nations.
On Friday, the Cameroon football federation Fecafoot was fined US $154,000 for using the kit while the Indomitable Lions were docked six qualifying points from their World Cup group.
"We have done nothing wrong," Horst Widmann, the special assistant to Puma's chief executive, told BBC Sport.
"We showed the uniforms to both Fifa and Caf, and nobody told us it was not allowed."
"There was a final decision made by Caf in Tunisia, after a press conference with Mr Blatter, and again Mr Hayatou decided we could use the shirts."
Widmann added that Puma representatives visited and showed the kit to Fifa deputy general secretary Jerome Champagne.
The sportswear manufacturer was not told at the time that there was a problem with the strip.
"It is not Puma's problem that Jerome Champagne didn't inform Blatter about that," Widmann said.
"That is an internal problem for Fifa."
The Puma employee also claimed that the one-piece kit does not actually contravene any of the Laws of the Game, as football's world governing body has argued.
With regard to basic equipment that a footballer must wear, Law 4 of the Laws of the Game states: 'The basic equipment of a player is a jersey or shirt, shorts, stockings, shinguards, footwear'.
"Nowhere in the rules is it mentioned that shirts and shorts (must be kept separate)," added Widmann.
"We still have a functional shirt and functional shorts, and the only difference is that it is put together.
"We cannot understand what is happening to us as you can easily solve the problem by using scissors to separate the shorts and the shirt."
Football's world governing body was angered by Cameroon's decision to wear their one-piece strip in the knock-out stages of the Nations Cup despite a warning that the kit should only be worn in the group stages of the competition.
On Friday, Fifa stated that Fecafoot 'had given assurances that the team would wear authorised playing kit in the knock-out phases', yet Widmann said it was not possible to supply new outfits at such short notice.
"Fifa issued a warning but it impossible to produce a new uniform in Cameroon colours - with numbers and names and everything - within a few days," he claimed.
The special assistant added that Puma is consulting with its lawyers and waiting to see the Fifa documents on the Cameroon sanction before making a final decision on whether to pursue legal action.

The Philadelphia Eagles opened the preseason with a solid 36-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. The starters did not play very long before the backups went into the game and dominated the playing time the rest of the way.
The Eagles dusted off their game jerseys so I brought out the grade book for another year. Here now, your first taste of Grayson's Grades this season.
Kenjon Barner - A 92 yard punt return for a touchdown will go a long way towards solidifying a good grade. Chip Kelly touted Barner as a running back and special teams player last season when he was brought to Philly. Barner withstood some contact, found open space and followed blockers the rest of the way into the endzone. He also did a decent job carrying the ball 6 times for 29 yards and another touchdown.
Ed Reynolds - Yes, I understand it was against the Colts third string quarterback, but Ed Reynolds made two very good interceptions late in the game. One was a great catch and the other was due to a great read and break on the ball by Reynolds.
Chip Kelly - I realize there will be some scrutiny with this grade, but I am giving Chip Kelly a 'B' for his decision to sit Sam Bradford and DeMarco Murray in this preseason opener. He realizes the Baltimore Ravens will be in Philly to practice with the Eagles for a few days prior to next week's preseason game. Those will be controlled environments allowing Bradford to see a legitimate pass rush without worrying about taking any hits. As for Murray, the Eagles know what he can do given the large sample size of carries he had last year. Neither player does the team any good suffering an injury in week one of the preseason. Both will hopefully play next week. That being said, I would have liked to see Bradford get one series dominated mostly by running plays and maybe one pass play. The goal would be to get him used to pre-game warmups here and the opportunity to get the first game out of the way.
Matt Barkley - Barkley is fighting with Tim Tebow for a spot on this roster as the third string Quarterback. He put together a solid performance, but missed bigger plays. Barkley showed better accuracy than he did last season, but his arm strength still appears to be lacking. He underthrew some open receivers that could have been touchdowns had they been hit in stride. One of those underthrows was to rookie Nelson Agholor who had his man beat but had to slow up to wait for the ball and eventually drew pass interference. Barkley completed 12 of 20 passes for 192 yards and one interception off a tipped pass.
Nelson Agholor - All in all, not a bad day for the rookie in his NFL debut. Agholor found the endzone on a high pass that he hauled in and sprinted down the sideline for a 34 yard touchdown. Agholor showed the ability to create space against a defender and would have had even better stats if Matt Barkley did not underthrow him when he beat his man in the second quarter. Slowing up for the ball resulted in pass interference. Agholor did show a couple rookie moments including one where Barkley's pass went right through his hands. Agholor finished the day catching 3 passes for 57 yards and a touchdown.
Jordan Matthews - Matthews continued where he left off last season. His precise route running creates separation and opportunities to make plays. Matthews was not in the game for too long but did haul in a pair of receptions for 44 yards. He did well with the opportunities that went his way.
Miles Austin - Austin was brought in as a veteran receiver and will see playing time here. He beat a man on a corner route and hauled it in for a 39 yard reception. It was underthrown by Matt Barkley. If he had been able to catch the pass in stride, he would have scored a touchdown.
Eric Rowe - Rookie defensive back Eric Rowe looked good for the most part. He made some plays in his first NFL action. Rowe's biggest play was a forced fumble early in the game. The receiver he was covering made an inside move and caught the pass, but Rowe closed on him and punched it loose. It was recovered by the Eagles. Rowe finished the game with three tackles and also helped stand one of the Colts up that led to another forced fumble and turnover by the Eagles defense.
Ryan Matthews - Matthews did not get opportunities to really earn much of a grade, but I am including camp in this mark. He has been solid in camp showing nice agility for his size. He only got two carries and rushed for 18 yards. Matthews showed what he can do on a 13 yard carry where he took on contact and continued to drive forward.
Raheem Mostert - The rookie running back out of Purdue had a solid NFL debut. He carried the ball 11 times for 33 yards and also caught one pass for 40 yards. There is a good competition going on for the fourth running back spot between Mostert and Kenjon Barner. Both have done pretty well in camp.
Marcus Smith - Smith may have just received his highest grade by me. I would have to go back and double check that from last year. Smith just looked a lot more comfortable to me on the field. Last year it looked like he was guessing a little as to where he was supposed to be lining up pre-snap. In this game at least, he looked confident in his assignment and covered passes well. He got some pressure on the quarterback and made __ tackles. Smith does need to improve his ability to withstand a block and make a tackle. Once blocked, he struggled to get back into a play.well defensed pass downfield, blosed off his side in run support, brought nice pressure all in same series in 1st Qtr.
Tim Tebow - Tebow looked a little rusty to me in terms of game situations. His "mental clock" looked slow regarding understanding the timing of the pass rush. He did make some strong throws, but he also held onto it too long and got hit as he threw a few times. Tebow did show why he could make this team as a 2-point conversion specialist with a 7-yard touchdown run. Those of you scoring at home it appeared to me that Matt Barkley won round one of the fight for the third quarterback position.
Cody Parkey - I like Parkey, but he cannot miss a 33 yard extra point and a 34 yard field goal. Those are two reasons I believe Chip Kelly will frequently go for two following touchdowns in the regular season. On the plus side, Parkey did make a pair of field goals from 40 yards out as well as a 48 yarder. He also booted numerous touchbacks in the game.
Mark Sanchez - Sanchez looked pedestrian once again. He did not throw accurate passes. He missed wide open receivers and was bailed out on his touchdown pass due to a nice catch by Nelson Agholor. Sanchez only played part of the first quarter and completed just 2 of 7 passes for 52 yards and a touchdown.

Bob Friedland back at the helm
by REW April 22, 2015 0684
BOB FRIEDLAND
Veteran real estate executive Bob Friedland is taking the helm as president and CEO of Friedland Realty Advisors.
One year after exiting the NAI network, Friedland Realty Advisors — Westchester's largest privately-owned real estate firm — has begun a new, ambitious chapter.
Bob Friedland started the company more than 40 years ago, growing it into a full-service firm with deep expertise across metro New York.
He is now charting a new course for growth with large investments in new office space, technologies, and an expanded team of brokers.
Friedland's renewed role in day-to-day operations follows the departure of Ayall Schanzer, who served as Friedland Realty Advisor's president and CEO for 12 months.
Schanzer's choice to pursue new adventures was a mutual decision. "We wish Ayall well in his future endeavors." said Friedland.
440 Mamaroneck Avenue
Friedland Realty recently moved its headquarters from Yonkers to 440 Mamaroneck Avenue in Harrison, NY. The new space houses their growing team of brokers and allows the firm to serve additional clients in Westchester, New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut and elsewhere.
The new location has allowed Friedland Realty to double its office space. "This is an exciting time for Friedland Realty," said Friedland. "We are proud to be an integral part of the Westchester community and look forward to being a contributing factor in its economic development and growth."

Wyatt Pike Finally Speaks Out After Dropping From 'American Idol'
Samantha Agate
ABC/Eric McCandless
American Idol contestant Wyatt Pike shocked viewers when he dropped out of the competition on Monday. The Park City, Utah singer has finally broken his silence on Instagram about his decision to leave the competition.
A post shared by Wyatt Pike (@wyattpike)
Wyatt Pike Breaks Silence After Dropping Out of 'American Idol'
"I had to leave the @AmericanIdol competition for personal reasons but am so thankful I get to play music for the rest of my life," Pike wrote. "Fellow contestants – miss you all, good luck! Thank you to everyone for your support… do stick around for more musical things soon!"
SEE ALSO: WHY DID FAN-FAVORITE WYATT PIKE DROP PUT OF 'AMERICAN IDOL'?
During the very first live show of the season, Ryan Seacrest announced that Pike had returned home and would no longer be competing. This was devastating for fans of the 20-year-old early standout who had impressed the judges with his cover of "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon the night before.
Pike did post a set of photos from back at home before Monday's episode of American Idol. Many were wondering why he had already returned home before his next performance. Everything up until this point had been pre-recorded and contestants were given strict COVID safety protocols while they film the show in California.
Many speculated that it was actually the trip home that forced him to leave the show as it violated the Covid-19 protocols. Others think he may have been offered a record deal. Unfortunately, Pike's vague comment does little to quell the rumors.
Pike's Fellow 'Idol' Contestants Sent Him Well Wishes on Instagram
After breaking his silence on Instagram, Pike's fellow Season 19 American Idol contestants commented on his post to wish him well. This group of contestants is very tight-knit and understand that it's not easy being away from their family and friends during the pandemic.
Eliminated contestant Alanis Sophia wrote, "wish you the best of luck in everything you do."
"You are so special Wyatt- JUST THE BEGINNING BABY!!!! Can't wait to see you soon. You are A GEM in every since of the word" Madison Watkins wrote.
"So much love for you Wyatt!!! You are going to do AMAZING things; I cannot wait to watch it all unfold for you!!" Grace Kinstler said.
"I love you and miss you so much!!!! So excited for your future" Cassandra Coleman, Pike's duet partner during the Duets Challenge said.
Ever since Pike's last performance, his audition video has been blowing up with views over on American Idol's YouTube channel. We wouldn't be surprised if it hit 1 million views by the end of the month with fans wondering what really happened to cause him to drop out.

With Pike's exit from the competition, the Top 12 were chosen by America's votes and two judges' saves. The contestants were hit with a major twist as ten of the Season 18 contestants will be returning for a chance to fight their way back onto the show. Expect to see this all go down during the April 19 episode at 8 p.m. ET.

I will do this primarily through medication management but have training in a variety of psychotherapies that I can draw upon as needed."
"My practice is currently full and am unable to take new med management patients at this time.

2017 - Clubhouse Records
Luke Tuchscherer is a former vocalist and drummer with British alt. country band 'The Whybirds,' who made three excellent and highly rated albums between 2007 and 2013. This is the, now New York based, Englishman's second solo album, the first being 2014s acclaimed 'You get so alone at times that it just makes sense.' I won't bother you with quotes but when reviewing that debut I wondered if it was a 'one off' that simply fulfilled a band member's ambition or a serious attempt at a solo career. I hoped the latter and that is exactly how it has panned out with this even better follow up.
This hugely talented singer songwriter performs his songs with total conviction, probably not too difficult considering the uniformly high quality of his songwriting. The literacy of his lyrics and the superb arrangements lift the album above many who could be considered his peers but his greatest strengths are the warmth and quality of a voice that ensures he can master any emotion he wishes, perfect for his take on 'country music,' and the incredible melodies that are so catchy they will have listeners mistakenly thinking they are familiar with them. That is not because Luke is like many others; he isn't; it is just the sheer melodicism that often has you concentrating on the ear worm textures, saving your lyrical concentration for perhaps the next listen, or the one after, or .........! It is that sort of album; always fresh and quite captivating in its all round quality.
This album, if it needs a generic label, strikes me as having a 'country rock' overview although there are other influences that are brought into play, ensuring that, whilst in a loose genre in which so much comes across as samey, there is more than enough in Luke's work to set him apart from and above the pack. His songs range in tempo from slow and moody up to and including a speedy mid tempo ensuring the album contains plenty of variety.
Al ten of the songs were written by Luke and the bulk of it was produced, recorded and mixed by Tom Peters at The Den, Bury St. Edmonds, UK. Luke is fairly obviously lead vocalist on each song and also plays acoustic and electric guitars as well as drums on one track. Tom Peters handles drums and percussion on all of the remaining songs, with further help coming from a number of musicians who include B.J. Cole on pedal steel and dobro, with piano, organ and Wurlitzer variously played by Tom Collison, Bob Peters, Dave Marks and Lorenzo de Feo. Nick Malling, Taff Thatcher and Rob Butterfield all played bass with Dave Banks contributing much of the guitar and banjo work along with Ben Haswell who played on a couple of tracks whilst mandolin was courtesy of Max Milligan. Quite a mix of musicians but the flow is excellent and everything blends so well it could easily be a band all collected in the studio at the same time.
Whilst that blend and the flow is excellent it is an album of top quality songs performed by a singer songwriter who is at the top of his game and with the icing on the cake arrangements that couldn't really be bettered. The album opener, Waiting for my day to come, has an acoustic guitar intro on a song that has an incredibly catchy melody and builds to a powerful sound with steel guitar, bass, keyboards and electric guitars. The harmonies are restrained but still forward enough to strengthen and enhance the power of the song on a track that could easily be a hit single and yet despite the quality, it's not necessarily even the best on the album! Outside looking in has a slightly unusual start with the solid percussion, steel guitar and guitar joined by piano on an excellent easy rolling ballad that despite the relatively gentle sound tells of the subjects frustration at the way his life is going. It is followed by a lovely slow reflective ballad in the form of When the dream dies with a beautifully solid bass and percussion and a melodic electric guitar chiming its way through the melody. There is a powerful and dynamic guitar solo that simply enhances the emotional content allowing Luke's vocal to meander its way through a questioning series of reflections. The guitar solo comes in again towards the end ensuring the song benefits from a perfect amount of colour and deep textures on a long meandering song that never outstays its welcome. The metronomic bass and thudding percussion get Be true, an upper mid tempo countryish rocker off to a flying start accompanied by Luke's vocal and a gorgeous dobro sound with sympathetic harmonies.
In moving his base to the U.S Luke is much nearer to the center of the various generic off shoots of country music and in taking this album along with him it's almost impossible to imagine our brothers across the pond not welcoming Luke Tuchscherer and his music with wide open arms!

End of Sorrow by Eknath Easwaran
Eknath Easwaran is a foremost translator and interpreter of the much-loved Indian scripture, the Bhagavad Gita. He liked to say that his verse-by-verse commentary grew like a tree issuing directly from his life, which was so rooted in the Gita that he found a deep understanding of its teachings in the most everyday experiences – sharing a treat with young children, walking with friends down a busy street, or watching a mime in San Francisco's Union Square. Easwaran translates each verse, relates it to our modern lives through stories and anecdotes, and gives us spiritual exercises that we can use every day. This first volume in a three-volume set covers chapters 1–6 of the Gita, and concentrates on the individual: the nature of our innermost Self, how it can be discovered in the depths of consciousness, and how this discovery transforms daily life. The introduction includes instructions in Easwaran's universal method of passage meditation.

Hanns Braun (26 October 1886 – 9 October 1918) was a German athlete.

Biography
He was born in Wernfels (today Spalt) and died near Saint-Quentin, Aisne, France as fighter-pilot in an airplane-crash in World War I.

He won the bronze medal in the men's 800 metres race at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London with a time of 1:55.2, which was .8 seconds faster than the previous Olympic record but 3 seconds slower than the time of Mel Sheppard, the winner of the race. His semifinal time had been 1:58.0.

Braun was also a member of the silver medal German medley relay team. He ran the final 800 metres of the 1600 metre race, following Arthur Hoffmann, Hans Eicke, and Otto Trieloff. The team had an easy time defeating the Dutch squad in the first round, finishing in a time of 3:43.2. The final was a more difficult race, however, and the Germans never had a chance of catching the Americans. The first three runners found themselves in third place, and Braun began his leg five yards behind the Hungarian runner. He was able to catch up and pass Ödön Bodor, however, giving the Germans a second-place victory of a tenth of a second at 3:32.4.

Braun also ran in the 1500 metres. He placed third in his first round (semifinal) heat with a time of 4:18.2 and did not advance to the final.

Q: Determine if there is an influence of newspaper articles on stock quotation Lets assume there is a company called "XY", which is listed in the NASDAQ. Lets further assume that newspapers are frequently reporting about company XY, either in a positive, neutral or a negative way.
I am trying to figure out whether there is an influence of positive themed newspaper articles about company XY on the stock price of company XY  or not. For this reason I gathered and classified all newspaper articles about company XY. Then I created a N-dimensional data matrix (with n = 4 columns), containing the stock price of company XY as a time series (1000 days), the associated NASDAQ index for each day, a dummy variable for a positive article (1 = positive ; 0 = neutral or negative) and a dummy variable for special events (like the release of quarterly figures).
So far, I only worked with (S)ARIMA and (S)ARIMAX (including external regressors) models. I guess that the variance in stock prices is conditionally influenced by the previous variance, so I thought ARCH or GARCH would be a good model to start with. Unfortunately, I do not have the experience to judge if this is a good idea or if there are other types of models that probably can handle the described conditions better than GARCH.
So my actual questions are:

*

*Is is possible to include external regressors (e.g. the dummy variables) in a GARCH model?

*Is there another model class which fits the described issue better?

A:
Is is possible to include external regressors (e.g. the dummy variables) in a GARCH model?

Yes, it is. The vanilla GARCH(1,1) model for a variable (e.g. stock return) $r_t$ looks like
\begin{aligned}
r_t &= \mu_t + u_t, \\
u_t &= \sigma_t \varepsilon_t, \\
\sigma_t^2 &= \omega + \alpha_1 u_{t-1}^2 + \alpha_2 u_{t-2}^2 + \beta_1 \sigma_{t-1}^2, \\
\varepsilon_t &\sim i.i.d.(0,1),
\end{aligned}
where $\mu_t$ is the conditional mean of $r_t$ which could be e.g. a constant or an ARMA process. You can trivially include an extra variable $x_{t_1}$ in the conditional variance equation like this:
$$
\sigma_t^2 = \omega + \alpha_1 u_{t-1}^2 + \beta_1 \sigma_{t-1}^2 + \gamma_1 x_{t-1}.
$$
In R, you can do that via the argument external.regressors inside the argument variance.model of the function ugarchspec from the "rugarch" package (see the help file). Note that if $x_t$ can be negative, you might end up with negative conditional variance. To avoid that, you may use a nonnegative transformation of $x_t$ or another flavour of GARCH like log-GARCH or EGARCH.

Is there another model class which fits the described issue better?

This is an empirical question. You might try a few different models (different flavours of GARCH; stochastic volatility; a conditional variance equation with just a constant plus the extra variable $x_t$) for your data and check which of them perform better (e.g. by looking at information criteria or at out-of-sample forecasting performance).

Joss Sticks – A Unique Symbolism in Singapore History
Joss Sticks – A Unique Symbolism in
Singapore History
Joss sticks are aromatic sticks used in worship by many Asian religions. In Buddhism they are
thought to aid religious communication and also serve as an offering to Buddha. The amount of
benzine in the sticks was usually four times greater than normal, butadiene is 260 times greater,
and thioethoxyl was double that. All three are poisonous to humans and therefore they must be
consumed with great care 斋菜. This article describes the poisonous plants, materials and effects that
are contained in joss stick, their production and their use.
The main ingredient found in joss sticks is Hessian, which is a resin-like substance which can be
found in the stems and leaves of certain plants. Generally this resin is diluted with a few drops of
water and used to make incense. In ancient times, monks would use joss sticks to clean their
spindles when doing bead weaving. Some of them are made from the bark of the juniper and
others can be found in the woods of Jamaica. Today joss sticks are popular as an incense in
Hindu and Buddhist temples.
Apart from the regular joss stick making incense, they are also used as Chinese prayer wheels.
As Chinese people have an extremely long history of using incense, especially on religious
occasions, joss sticks were created to be used in their religious ceremonies as well. Incense
sticks are created in different sizes and are used to increase concentration and help people
reach the deep levels of meditation. They are used to clear the mind and prepare the body for
meditation. It is important to note that all forms of joss stick making are banned in Singapore, as
they are considered to be a substance that disturbs the religious harmony of the country.
Another use of joss sticks is in the Chinese New Year celebrations in Singapore. They are part
of the Chinese National Day celebration, which is celebrated on the last Saturday of January. In
fact the government had made it mandatory for Chinese people to carry large joss sticks as a
symbol of prosperity and happiness. Chinese people also use joss sticks as talismans of power
to protect themselves and their families against evil spirits during the Chinese New Year. Other
than these two uses, the sticks are also used as symbols of love by most couples in Singapore.
There are also several religions which use joss sticks as a form of offering to their deities or god
of high status during religious ceremonies. These include Christianity, Hinduism and Islam. In
Singapore, there are also a couple of Pagan groups who use joss sticks as a form of offering
and worship. The government has however imposed strict laws against the burning of any type
of religion in Singapore and several churches have been destroyed by the Muslims for being
involved in the worship of the Hindu God of Buddha. However, despite all this the joss stick is
still used by many Singaporeans for good purposes like for holding the images of the Buddha
during religious ceremonies.
The Inca civilization also considered joss sticks as very important religious tool. They considered
them to be sacred and believed they possessed certain powers that could help them fight
against enemies. They used to carry them around in their pants and scabbard and they also
made special masks out of them to frighten away enemies. One of the most famous Incan
legend tells how the mighty warrior Viracchus lost his hand which he used to pull the smoke from
his eyes. However, when he went to see his family he found his daughter Phyllis dead due to
poison. He then gathered all the courage he had and went back to attack the enemy army, but
he was defeated by the son of King Candido.

Q: Is there a way to create a HIT, but delay its availability to Mechanical Turkers? Basically, I want to create a HIT, but I don't want it to be available to Turkers until after I can retrieve the HITId from the new HIT and perform some other business logic.
I don't see a straightforward way to do this from the Amazon docs. One workaround that looks possible is to use the UpdateHITReviewStatus operation to set the HITReviewStatus to Reviewing when I don't want it to be viewable, and to Reviewable when I want it to be viewable.
Unfortunately I don't see a way to set a custom HITReviewStatus upon HIT creation; only a way to set and revert this property after the HIT has already been created (which might be too late). I would like to create a HIT somehow like this (using RTurk for Ruby):
RTurk::Hit.create(title: title) do |hit|
  hit.assignments = assignments
  hit.description = description
  # ... more settings...
  hit.review_status = 'Reviewing'
end

This does not work though - I get:
NoMethodError:
       undefined method `review_status=' for #<RTurk::CreateHIT:0x007fb7e5db28c0>

However even if this worked, it does seem like an inelegant hack.
Has anyone had success creating a HIT which has intentionally delayed availability or reviewability for Turkers?
Edit: wording

A: Disclaimer: I have never used this library and literally have no idea what it is even for but I installed the gem just to see what is going on and it appears you can do this.
RTurk::Hit.create(title: title) do |hit|
  hit.assignments = assignments
  hit.description = description
  # ... more settings...
  hit.set_as_reviewing! # <------ NOTICE THIS LINE
end

I discovered this by simply going through this basic step:
RTurk::Hit.new(title: 'Title').methods.sort - Object.methods
# => [:assignments, :bonus_payments, :details, :disable!, :dispose!,
#     :expire!, :extend!, :id, :id=, :map_content, :method_missing,
#     :normalize_nested_params, :set_as_reviewable!, :set_as_reviewing!,
#     :source, :source=, :url, :xml_to_hash]

The Source Location for this method is RTurk::Hit#set_as_reviewing! although it lacks documentation.
Additionally if that does not work one could try this:
RTurk::Hit.create(title: title) do |hit|
  hit.assignments = assignments
  hit.description = description
  # ... more settings...
end.hit.set_as_reviewing!

Although this implementation will suffer the same as your original question the duration should be extraordinarily short as the cycle is basically
 Create -- Web Call ------> Received
                                 |
 Response Object <-- Response ----
   |
 Update -- Web Call -------> Received

Furthermore one can provide an auto_approval_delay (Not sure what this does but it too may help) Docs state:

The number of seconds after an assignment for the HIT has been submitted, after which the assignment is considered Approved automatically unless the Requester explicitly rejects it.

A: I use the Python API, not the Ruby, but I assume they have the same functionality. Have you tried setting MaxAssignments=0 when creating the HIT, then later using create_additional_assignments_for_hit() once you want to allow workers? I don't know if the function names are the same, and it is possible that creating a HIT with 0 assignments is considered an error, but worth a shot!

A: The way to do is is by using HIT Types and UpdateHITTypeOfHIT. The basic pattern is to:

*

*Create a HIT Type which is impossible for anyone to retrieve. You can do that by putting mutually exclusive Qualification on it: Country == US and Country != US.

*Create another HIT Type without this impossible requirement.

*Create a HITs in the impossible to reach HIT Type. You'll get a HIT id for each one. Because of the impossible to satisfy locale requirement, no Worker can see them.

*When you're ready to show the HIT to the world, call UpdateHITTypeOfHIT and change it to the visible HIT Type.

I'm not a Ruby guy, but I coded up a prototype in Python. Here's the output. Hope this gives you some ideas on how to do it.
Hidden HIT Type: 3UL1O09SX9IFON31CFQVVXR348R90N
Visible HIT Type: 3DIFNAQ3LCEUPUBCT8DVOVQM1RE3TC

Created HIT 3PZDSVZ3J4GXNMGD2YQL4LJ9SQHN40 of type 3UL1O09SX9IFON31CFQVVXR348R90N

Changed HIT 3PZDSVZ3J4GXNMGD2YQL4LJ9SQHN40 to type type 3DIFNAQ3LCEUPUBCT8DVOVQM1RE3TC

Q: Retrieve a object from a list of objects in visual basic and use it to fill text/combo boxes I have a class as seen below:
Public Class parameters
  Public Property test As String
  Public Property test_type As String
  Public Property user_test_name As String
  Public Property meas As String
  Public Property spec As String
  ...etc
End Class

I make a list of objects that I import from a csv somewhere. The user_test_name's from the list gets sent to a list box:
For Each parameters In param
  ' MsgBox(parameters.user_test_name)
  ListBox1.Items.Add(parameters.user_test_name)
Next

now when the user selects something from the list i want the rest of the properties of that particular user_test_name object to populate in certain text/combo boxes in the application. Here is how I grab what is selected.
Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object,
            ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
  Dim selected_name As String = ListBox1.SelectedItem()
  ' MsgBox(selected_name)
  find_object_by_user_test_name(selected_name)
End Sub

Now i'm having difficulty finding the object with the selected_name from the list and using its properties to fill the text.combo boxes. I tried the following to no success:
Public Sub find_object_by_user_test_name(ByVal description)
  MsgBox(description)
  Dim matches = From parameters In param
  Where parameters.user_test_name = description
  Select parameters
  ' MsgBox(matches)
  '  MsgBox(matches.user_test_name)
  TextBox1.Text = matches.test
  TextBox2.Text = matches.test_name
  etc,,, on and on
  ' populate_area(matches)
End Sub

A: If the user_test_names are unique, it may be easier to use a dictionary and retrieve the objects that way.
Dim params As New Dictionary(Of String, parameters)

params.add(MyParameterObject.user_test_name, MyParameterObject)

Then
Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged

    Dim selected_name As String = ListBox1.SelectedItem()
    Dim selected_param as parameters = params(selected_name)

End Sub

A: Instead of adding the name (a string) to the ListBox, add your actual INSTANCE to it.
First, override ToString() in your class so that it displays properly in your ListBox:
Public Class parameters

    Public Property test As String
    Public Property test_type As String
    Public Property user_test_name As String
    Public Property meas As String
    Public Property spec As String

    Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
        Return user_test_name
    End Function

End Class

Next, add each instance to the ListBox:
For Each parameters In param
    ListBox1.Items.Add(parameters)
Next

Now, the SelectedIndexChanged() event, you can cast the SelectedItem() item back to parameters and you already have everything at your disposal:
Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object,
            ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
    If ListBox1.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
        Dim P As parameters = DirectCast(ListBox1.SelectedItem, parameters)
        ' ... do something with "P" ...
        Debug.Print(P.user_test_name & " --> " & P.test)
    End If
End Sub

A: Something like this should do it:
Public Sub find_object_by_user_test_name(ByVal description As String)
  ' assuming param is your list of parameter objects
  For Each p In param
    If p.user_test_name = description Then
      TextBox1.Text = p.test
      TestBox2.Text = p.test_name
      ...
      Exit For
    End If
  Next
End Sub

A few notes about your code. First, you can't allow two objects to have the same user_test_name. Second, you can't use parameters as a variable name if you already have a class called parameters in your current namespace (which you do).

A: There is a simpler solution than any of these--just do the following:
Dim i as Integer = ListBox1.SelectedIndex
Then you can use i as an index to your original list of objects.


I instantly changed my diet to oil free vegan, mostly organic, high in starches, as recommended. The results have been miraculous. In the year since, not only did my leg heal, but I lost 40lbs, and my blood sugar went back to almost normal, plus some other minor health issues also went away.
To be clear, this diet has no calorie or quantity restrictions. If you like to eat a lot, it is the perfect diet. You can eat unlimited quantities of potatoes, beans, rice, pastas, breads, vegetables and fruits, etc. It is difficult to eat enough of this diet to maintain your minimal lean weight.
It all comes down to the calorie density of the food you eat.
1 gram of potato or bean or rice or bread (carbohydrate) contains 1 calorie.
1 gram of table sugar contains approximately 4 calories.
1 gram of vegetable oil contains approximately 9 calories.
A good example of how this works is a salad. Imagine a large man-sized salad. On its own, there are approximately 100 calories in the salad. However, when you add dressing, which is 2/3 oil and 1/3 vinegar, the salad now contains 500 calories. You do the math.
So, if you are eating food that contains hidden quantities of vegetable oils, like almost everything that comes in a packet, then you are probably consuming way more calories than you thought you were – not to mention preservatives (antibacterial agents) and other additives that will kill off your gut bacteria.
I am very much enjoying my new diet and the huge range of foods I can eat. I love to cook, so this was also an interesting challenge. My taste buds have also changed and now I crave foods that are very different than what I ate before. I am currently having a passionate love affair with apples and pickles and Kalamata olives.
The health and obesity problems of the modern world come directly from the food we eat. Eat better food with lower calorie density and you will lose weight and become a lot healthier. Autoimmune disorders like arthritis and related conditions will also disappear. Most modern diseases will respond to this diet.
I also noticed some other changes, in that my both my immune system and my natural psychic shielding grew much stronger. I work with many people that have neg issues. I passed this information along. An informal study, if you like. The results were quite amazing. People's neg problems either went away or significantly reduced over time. This shows, as I have suspected, that there is a direct link between the gut biome, which is the seat of the immune system, general health, and the body's natural psychic shielding. This makes sense, as we evolved on this planet amidst a great many neg spirits of various types. It makes sense that we humans would have developed psychic shielding in response to this stimulus, over millions of years.
A further interesting development came a few months after I went oil-free vegan. My wheat intolerance disappeared. I can now eat bread of any type, with no side effects. The bread I can eat must be oil-free, of course, which can be a bit of a challenge in the modern world. But I have found a few storebought breads, mainly oil-free sourdough bread, made of wheat and rye and combinations. I also make my own sourdough bread at home.
I have to say that it appears that it was not so much an allergic response to wheat, but a generally suppressed immune system, that was causing my wheat/gluten intolerance all along. This is not generally recognized, of course, and I can only pass along my own experiences, as well as those people I have been advising and working with.
Key to this issue is vegetable oil, first developed during WW1. All processed vegetable oils suppress the immune system to some extent, some more than others. For example, during the first kidney transplants in the 1950's, they used purified extract of Safflower oil, injected, with 3ml (about half a teaspoon) suppressing the immune system enough to prevent rejection of transplanted organs. This shows that this is a significant effect and not something to be ignored.
There have been many studies over the past century showing this immune suppression effect, with the earliest I could find being done in the 1930's. Many more since then show conflicting results, mainly funded by vegetable oil companies, as you would expect from modern science, which has been extensively corrupted in the modern world. The vegetable oil industry is enormous. It is the most powerful corporate group in the world; far more powerful than the Atomic Energy Commission, for example.
I have seen solid evidence of there being a direct link between vegetable oil consumption and serious disease, including cancers.
I don't think that everyone needs to go on an oil-free vegan diet to realize weight loss and better health and disease resistance. I do think that processed vegetable oils and margarine should be eliminated. Remember, they used only half a teaspoon of purified Safflower oil to suppress the immune systems of kidney transplant patients. So, you'll need to read every label in order to minimize vegetable oil in your diet.
There is a good case for eating a diet like people ate before processed vegetable oils were introduced in the 1930's. If you look at photographs and films taken around this time, you'll notice that everyone is slim and fit, and cancers and other serious diseases were rare, even among smokers. The only thing that has changed since then, diet-wise, and all GMO issues aside, has been the introduction of processed vegetable oils. This includes Canola oil, which is highly processed GMO Rapeseed oil; an oil that is best avoided… like the plague.
And what did they eat back then? They ate meat and seafood, grains and vegetables, and cooked with lard or bacon fat, or butter or ghee. They also ate burgers and hot dogs and pizza, but with no vegetable oil added. Olive oil was only used for salads. Their diet was very similar to what people eat today, minus any trace of processed vegetable oils.
Fish oils are similar in the way they suppress the immune system. This is why they are so effective at helping with things like arthritis. Arthritis is an autoimmune disorder, where the immune system is rejecting part of the body, causing inflammation and pain, etc. So, fish oils suppress the immune system and alleviate pain.
Again, I can only give a summary of my own experiences here. Please check out the links given above for more information on this subject. I recommend that you do your own research on this on the Internet. The truth is out there, hiding in plain sight.
*I will update this article with links to research over time.

Big Chinese investment on hydropower on the river Kwanza, for domestic consumption but also for export to South Africa and possibly for aluminium smelting. Very significant impacts but opposition is limited due to government control.
The hydroelectric project Caculo-Cabaça is located in São Pedro da Quilemba, 74 km from Dondo, Cuanza Norte. Financed by China, it is planned to generate 2,172 MW for allegedly allow access to electricity from 30% to 60% of the national population. The construction of the plant started in August 2017 and will continue for the next 5 years approximately. The project was cleared in 2015 and got financing from the Chinese state bank ICBC, who posed the condition that it would be the Chinese consortium CGGC that would build it. According to an article in Spiegel, El Mundo and other sources, the daughter of the current Angolan president, Isabel dos Santos, has a high share in the consortium, which ensures revenues for the ruling family as well.  . The construction at Caculo-Cabaça started the same month of the inauguration of the 2070 MW Lauca HEP along the same river, in the Malanje province. The two plants are second in Africa only to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (6,000MW). The government plans in fact is to invest an important amount of resources in hydropower, included in the "Programa de Investimento Público", in order to achieve the goal of 9,000 installed MW potential by 2025. Access to clean electricity and generation of jobs are the two main arguments for big plants, but electricity is also planned to be exported to Namibia and South Africa along an interconnected grid. According to the World Energy Council, "Angola's estimated hydropower potential is 150 TWh/yr, one of the highest in Africa. However, so far only a small fraction of the country's hydro potential has been harnessed. Feasibility Studies are in progress on major hydro schemes at Lauca and Caculo-Cabaca on the Kwanza river, each with an installed capacity of 2 000 MW, and on a 300 MW bi-national project at Baynes Mountain on the Cunene". According to a study by EXAME, Angola will soon have an installed capacity of 7,000 MW from its hydro sources. Together with the capacity of other plants such as Thermal plants (2,000MW), the Combined Cycle Gas Turbine of Soyo (750MW), and the wind mill in Tombwa (100MW), the country will count on around 10,000MW installed capacity .
For the time being, there is very little resistance to such projects in Angola because of the restrictions on organizing by the government.
Project Details The plant will have 2,172 MW installed. One part of this might be allocated to domestic consumption but also for export to South Africa and possibly to aluminium smelting (following the steps of Mozambique). A MOU was signed with Alcoa in 2009.
Why? Explain briefly. There is very little resistance to such projects in Angola because of the restrictions on organizing by the government. For the time being, the case can be considered a latent conflict, as the impacts will be for sure significant.
