Ryan Kaji started his YouTube channel, Ryan's World (formerly Ryan ToysReview), in 2015 at 3 years old
He has topped Forbes' list of the highest-paid YouTubers for the third year in a row
Kaji's family owns Sunlight Entertainment
Ryan Kaji's net worth is $50 million. He topped Forbes' list of the highest-paid YouTube stars for the third year in a row in 2020. Here's how the 9-year-old social media sensation built his massive fortune.
Kaji's secret to success is starting young. He started uploading unboxing video content on his YouTube channel Ryan's World — previously called Ryan Toys Review — in 2015 when he was just 3 years old. He has since expanded his content to educational and family-friendly videos such as DIY science experiments and playtime with his twin sisters.
According to his father, Shion, the bond between his son and his viewers is also one of the reasons behind the channel's massive following. As of January, Kaji's YouTube channel has 27.9 million subscribers.
A content creator is paid on the platform in terms of views and the number of subscribers. With Kaji's content attracting viewers of all ages, it comes as no surprise that he earned $29.5 million from 12.2 billion views between June 2019 to June 2020. This is enough to place him at the top of the highest earners on Youtube, according to Forbes.
Though Kaji is earning millions before even turning 10 years old, his success is the product of the hard work of a lot of people. His channel uploads a video daily, and his family now manages a 30-man team called Sunlight Entertainment, which helps them produce content, Insider reported.
Kaji's family was able to leverage their success on YouTube to invest in other ventures. "Ryan's World" is now licensed, which means additional income via royalties from the estimated 5,000 Ryan-themed products that rake in over $200 million each year. On top of that, Kaji also has TV show deals with Nickelodeon, Hulu and Roku.
In total, the Kaji family has earned at least $100 million, while the media empire they manage is estimated to be valued at $500 million.
In 2016 and 2017, Kaji earned $11 million. In 2018, he raked in $22 million in revenue, and a year later, hiked it to $26 million. He became so popular and ingrained in pop culture that a float of Red Titan— his superhero alter-ego — was featured at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in November, Celebrity Net Worth reported.
By topping the highest-paid list on Youtube, Kaji has beaten other well-known personalities on the platform like Jimmy Donaldson (MrBeast), Dude Perfect, Rhett and Link and Mark Fischbach (Markiplier). Kaji, however, is not the only kid on the list as 6-year-old Anastasia Radzinskaya from Russia ranked seventh with $18.5 million earnings last year.
Kaji and Radzinskaya have proven that child-friendly content can earn a lot of money on YouTube. Now, more content creators produce video game reviews as well as toy unboxing videos.

This treatment reduces submental (under the chin) fat, working to redefine your jawline and dissolving your double chin without surgery.
Double chin Fat Dissolving treatments are individually-tailored, injectable treatments that permanently destroy fat cells under the chin (submental fat), also called "double chin." The treatment involves a number of small injections into the fat beneath your chin.
The injection contains a naturally occurring molecule which eats away at fat and naturally found in human bodies. When injected properly, it selectively dissolves the fat cells whilst leaving all other cells healthy and intact.
Myth: Submental fullness only affects people who are overweight.
Fact: You don't have to be overweight to have fullness under your chin.
Submental fullness or "double-chin" may be caused by weight gain, genetics, or ageing and sometimes, no matter how much you exercise or diet, the condition may not go away.
The injectable treatment is only performed by qualified NSC Doctors and Registered Nurses who have been trained in the treatment.
Many people experience improvement after two to four treatment sessions spaced at least 4-6 weeks apart. A maximum of six, 15-20 minute treatments may be given.
You may experience some bleeding, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at or near the treatment area. As this is a non-invasive procedure you are able to resume daily activities immediately afterward. Once swelling subsides, your double chin will reduce in size to give you a slimmer, natural looking jawline!

As parents, there are hundreds of moments we celebrate with our children throughout their lifetime. Whether we are coaxing them toward us as babies taking their first steps, guiding their hand as they sketch their own name for the first time, or watching them make the right choices as teenagers (without our prompting), each moment matters.
But none matters more than the moment when your child acknowledges God's goodness and begins to follow Him.
However, many parents feel unprepared when faced with the questions and the steps of helping lead their children to Jesus. In the midst of teaching our kids safety, preparing for school, playing sports, and enjoying friends, our tendency can be to fall back on the church to be solely responsible for guiding a child's Christian experience. In reality, most children are only at church 1-2 hours a week.
As a parent, God has uniquely called each of us to personal discipleship of our children. This can feel like a tall order (and it is), but we don't do it in a vacuum. We have the support of our covenant family at the church, other parents, and our friends in SHINE. But most importantly, we have the presence of the Holy Spirit to guide us.
Leading our children to Christ is the single most important thing we can do for our children and a moment we need to be ready for. Every other moment we share with our children will be temporary; this moment will echo in eternity.
How do we help our child learn and respond when the moment arrives? Below is the language we use in SHINE Children's Ministry, along with some verses to help frame the conversation.
Admit that you are a sinner and that you need a Savior. Admit that you do things that are wrong by disobeying God's commands. Admit that you cannot stop disobeying God's commands on your own and that you need someone to forgive you when you disobey (sin). Understand that the good things we do are not good enough to balance out the bad. You cannot earn forgiveness of sins.
Believe that Jesus is the only Savior who can truly forgive your sins. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to Earth to take on the punishment for our sins by dying on the cross, and that He overcame death by arising from the dead on the third day. Jesus' resurrection is necessary proof to show that His payment for sin was full and final. Believe that we need to live like Jesus.
Commit to follow Jesus and live your life the way Jesus tells you to. Jesus commands you to follow Him. Understand that the Holy Spirit will help you follow Jesus. You may not hear God's voice speaking to you but you can hear His voice in the Bible which is God's written word. Understand that when you sin, you are able to repent (turn away from your sin and turn to God's ways) and believe (believe that you are forgiven). Then you can experience God's grace, forgiveness and victory over sin.
Think about the number of hours your child is with you or away from you during the week. When and how can you teach them about having a special relationship with God?
As you look at the steps above, reflect on your own experience. Have you acknowledged these things in your own life and committed yourself to God?

Water Conservation 101: Strategies for Improvement
Cultivating the Best Medicine for Drought
Water Matters > News > Water Conservation 101: Strategies for Improvement
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, American water usage has tripled in the last 50 years. That's in part because our population has doubled, but it's also because the United States is just flat out using far more water than it once did.[1] (Good going, us.)
Here comes the especially scary part, though: 40 U.S. states are expecting water shortages by 2024.
Sometimes a person to take their access to good drinking water for granted, but in much of the developing world, water quality is not a given. This is in part simply because freshwater itself is relatively scarce. Though the world might be 70 percent water, only 2.5 percent of that water is freshwater. Meanwhile a whopping 68.7 percent of that freshwater is frozen in the polar ice caps.[2] Of what remains, agriculture accounts for 70 percent of that freshwater usage. Considering numbers like that, it's easy to wonder how any water is available for our taps at all. Those are the numbers before factoring in any droughts or climate change or water lost to the water table thanks to pollution. (And true, the polar ice caps are rapidly melting, but who would argue that's an ideal way to increase the supply of freshwater?)
Drinking Water and Drought
So, how can these shortages be postponed or outright prevented? The key to staving off a global water crisis might just be in accepting we live in drier times and shifting to different strategies. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to environmental flu prevention 101: world water conservation. If we think of the increasing (and worldwide) instances of drought as a sort of environmental flu, the many methods of water conservation are a little like the environmental equivalent of preventative measures that target the spread of flu viruses.
Many authorities point toward desalination as a simple solution to dwindling freshwater supplies, but unfortunately, there's nothing actually simple about the desalination process.
Desalination requires significant electricity, making it costly. And to top it off, the process is slow. While more companies like Coca Cola have adopted it in the short term for providing their beverages in drier countries, even their executives don't see desalination of sea water as a viable long-term solution.[3]
Nonetheless, companies are racing to develop technologies to desalinate seawater. One such option available is using a graphene sieve, which tests have shown can effectively filter out larger salt particles.[4] The drawback with this method, though, is that creating a single layer of graphene is costly and may make using graphene on a larger scale cost prohibitive.
Luckily, many more water-strapped countries and cities have already been thinking about water conservation for some time now, and several have implemented new innovations to great success. Australia, which has faced drought for much of the last 20 years, implemented restrictions that cut usage by both businesses and residences in half by charging for water and treating it "as a tradable commodity," as economist Richard Damania explained to the BBC.[3] Middle eastern countries have also been at the forefront of conservation. For example, Israel has the world's highest water reuse rate at 86 percent. Tel Aviv supplies its sewage water for reuse in agricultural irrigation, and even its sludge is sent to an "anaerobic digestion plant" where the methane it produces is used to generate renewable energy.[3]
Reverse Osmosis water treatment plant in Dubai for desalinization.
Some water conservation efforts are being pioneered in the United States, as well.
One group of farmers in Colorado actually decided to tax themselves in order to conserve water. And it worked! Paying more for water (perhaps in this case, paying the real worth of water) helped them conserve and use 30 percent less water.
Prior to the adoption of this system, farmers in the San Luis Valley in Colorado had been looking at the real possibility of a water crisis and a shortage of freshwater.[5]
Even technology companies are getting into the water conservation game and turning to previously overlooked sources for water. One company, Waterseer, is developing a device that even harvests water droplets from the air — which could be a real boon, especially for humid areas.[6]
Medicine for Droughts
On a larger scale, communities are looking to create greater drought resilience, largely through better water management techniques.[7] The EPA explains that "for water utilities, drought resilience is the ability to respond to immediate water supply threats, withstand drought impacts and recover quickly."[8] Part of developing that resilience means taking a long look at our water infrastructure and management practices.
As much as 80 percent of water in developing countries is lost to leakage and poor infrastructure, and in the United States there are areas where aging infrastructure loses 50 percent of the water it's transporting.[6]
Companies and municipalities are looking to, essentially, plug those gaps. Some of the strategies being considered include pre-paying for water — similar to the model used by those farmers in the San Luis Valley — to make consumers more aware of how much they're using, and monitoring of usage that alerts the system to sudden spikes (which likely indicate a leak).[6]
But what can we as individuals and as a collective do to lessen this global water crisis? Some communities are taking cues from Israel's methods and encouraging water recycling through the collection of storm water and reuse of greywater (which is the water that goes down the drains in our homes).
In addition to reuse methods, simply using less water can help make an impact. Turning off the faucet while brushing your teeth or wash dishes (rather than letting it run continuously) helps conservation efforts, as does installing a low flush toilet. (And for one promising number — a low flush toilet can reduce water usage by as much as 50 percent!)[9] Plant drought resistant vegetation outside the home instead of grass. Use soaps and detergents free of polluting chemicals. They're not only healthier for individuals, but they won't contaminate water when it goes down the drain. Last, use a water filter at home. As freshwater becomes more scarce, the concentration of contaminants in our freshwater is only going to increase and a water filter can help protect people from waterborne diseases.
Think of these conservation actions simply as the preventive measures that stop the spread of the flu every year. Using less water might be the drought prevention version of taking vitamins or getting a flu shot. It doesn't just help in the immediate; it ripples out to the entire community in longer term benefits.

Obtain a position as a Pilot in Commercial/Airline operations
Anyone wishing to obtain a position as a Pilot in Commercial/Airline operations must have the relevant Pilot's Licence, known as an Airline Transport Pilot's Licence (ATPL).
The route to gaining this licence involves intensive training and subsequent testing, but what exactly is required and what are the differences between licences?
Training starts with the Private Pilots Licence which is conducted on a single-engine piston aircraft and includes ground studies to pass the Ground School exams. A successful flight test is required before the licence can be issued. This licence allows the pilot to fly single-engine piston land aeroplanes in visual meteorological conditions, in daylight, but not for hire or reward. The licence held is a Private Pilots Licence with a Single Engine Piston Land Rating attached.
With further training and a supervised solo flight a Night Rating can be
added to the licence. An MEP Rating can also be added to enable the
holder to fly Multi-Engine Piston Land aircraft. (Further Ratings can be
added if required, following mandatory training and testing, i.e.
Aerobatics, Seaplane aircraft etc., but these are not a requirement for a
professional licence).
Upgrading the PPL to a Commercial Licence (CPL) first requires all 14
written EASA ATPL exams to be passed. We run our own residential ATPL
theory course which is completed on a full-time basis within 6 months
covering all the subjects essential to passing the exams.
Once the ground exams are done, the Commercial flight training can begin but only so long as certain criteria are met and 175 hours total have been attained. This flight training can be conducted on Multi-or Single Engine Piston Land aircraft. Conventionally this is conducted on a Single Engine Piston Land aircraft, with at least 5h on a complex aircraft. The training involves a minimum of 25 hours (or 15h if an IR is held) and is concluded by a flight test with an authorised CAA Examiner.
The training continues with the Instrument Rating. This requires 45 hours of training (or 55h, if a CPL isn't held) of which 30h are done on an approved simulator. Following a successful flight test and meeting the relevant criteria an Instrument Rating can be attached to the licence.
Our courses take students from Zero Hours to a Frozen ATPL(A), the licence required for entry into the airlines as a First Officer. They have become a recognised as "high quality, value for money" courses where the students' career is the focus.

This tutorial will introduce CUDA to the supercomputing audience and motivate its use with traditional HPC examples. We will first teach the basics of CUDA programming with step-by-step walkthroughs of code samples, then review the main optimizations techniques, and describe profiling and tuning best practices to maximize performance. While CUDA C and CUDA Fortran will be used for illustration, the concepts covered will apply equally to programs written with the OpenCL and DirectCompute APIs. Finally, we will close with case studies from academia and industry.
The GPU Technology Theater hosts talks on a wide range of topics on high performance computing. Open to all attendees, the theater is located in the NVIDIA booth and will feature industry luminaries, scientists, and developers.
The GPU Technology Theater talks are now a part of GTC On-Demand. Presentations will be made available after SC11 at //www.gputechconf.com/page/gtc-on-demand.html.

Addison Snell, a leading HPC analyst with Intersect360 Research, will moderate this lively panel discussion, in which he asks visionary leaders from the supercomputing community to comment on forward-looking trends that will shape the industry in 2012 and beyond. An audience Q&A for the panelists will follow the live recording session.
The GPU is offering more than an order of magnitude speedup of peak floating-point computing over conventional processors. In this paper we present a thorough experience on tuning double-precision matrix-matrix multiplication (DGEMM) on the Fermi GPU architecture. We choose an optimal algorithm with blocking in both shared memory and registers to satisfy the constraints of the Fermi memory hierarchy. Our optimization strategy is further guided by a performance modeling based on micro-architecture benchmarks. Our optimizations include software pipelining, use of vector memory operations, and instruction scheduling. Our best CUDA algorithm achieves comparable performance with the latest vendor supplied library: CUBLAS 3.2. We further improve upon this with an implementation in the native machine language, leading to a 20% increase in performance over CUBLAS. That is, the achieved peak performance (efficiency) is improved from 302Gflop/s (58%) to 362Gflop/s (70%).
There is consensus in the community that higher-level GPU programming models based on directives or language extensions have significant value for enabling GPU programming by domain experts. Several efforts are under way to develop such models layered on top of standard C, C++ and Fortran through either standards committees or the introduction of proposed de facto standard solutions by large industry players. This BoF will explore and debate the merits of several current options and approaches for high-level heterogeneous manycore programming.
Since its introduction just a few years ago, the high performance computing (HPC) industry has widely adopted GPU acceleration to solve extremely challenging problems. Industry's computational need is constantly increasing as large and complex computational problems become commonplace. We will discuss the driving forces behind the rapid adoption of GPU computing and explore its impact across various industries.

Rogue Valley VeteRUN
by Mighty Oaks | Oct 4, 2019 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
By Terry Haines
Rogue Valley VeteRUN came out of an idea a little over three years ago about what kind of activity could our Non Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA) chapter do to engage the younger generation. We decided to do a 5K fun run and take off on the word veteran and turn it into a VeteRUN.
Our first year after expenses, (mostly t-shirts), we raised $8,000 and gave it to Patriot Project that addressed veteran suicide, Team Overland which takes depressed veterans on outdoor adventures, a local Vietnam Wall project that was building a replica of the Vietnam wall like in Washington DC and White Heart Guardian Project that also take veterans into the outdoors to let nature aid in the recovery for PTSD.
Our second year after expenses we raised $12,000 and gave it to Mighty Oaks that addressed veteran suicide and a divorce rate among combat veterans in excess of 80%, Honor Flight of Oregon that takes our WW2 & Korean veterans to Washington DC to visit their memorials and to experience a grateful nation along the way. We also supported White Heart Guardian Project again.
Our current event will again support Mighty Oaks, Honor Flight of Oregon, a youth group called Camp White Young Marines that teaches discipline, leadership, patriotism and respect to young boys and girls age 8-18. We are also supporting Divide Camp that takes depressed vets to a remote location in northeast Oregon for a variety of outdoor activities.
Addressing veteran suicide has been a constant theme through all three VeteRuns as all of us know of someone who has committed suicide, my father being one of them. I attended Mighty Oaks in May 2018 and it was a life changing event for me. When we were trying to determine which charities to support this year, were took a poll and Mighty Oaks by far had the most votes by a margin of 3 to 1 and well over 1,000 votes.
The third annual VeteRun takes place Saturday, October 12, 2019. Please pray for a successful event! If you would like to support this event and help Mighty Oaks at the same time, you can do one of 2 things. #1, go to https://ncoarogue.org and go to the VeteRun tab where you can either sign up to run or walk at a cost of $25 or make a donation to support the cause depending on which button you hit.
