How to sideload apps like Kodi or SPMC on the Amazon Fire TV & Stick using Downloader | AFTVnews

This guide will walk you through the steps of installing (a.k.a. sideloading) a 3rd-party app, like Kodi, onto any Amazon Fire TV or Fire TV Stick. This guide uses my own app, called Downloader, which is available for free from the Amazon Appstore. You do not need a computer, an external drive, a keyboard, ADB, or anything else to follow this guide. All you need is your Fire TV remote and about a minute of your time. This is currently the quickest way to sideload apps on the Fire TV or Firestick, and is easier than using ES File Explorer.

Foolish Western Idealism Crushes Sri Lanka's Economy – RedState

The problem in Sri Lanka comes from two separate issues that, together, absolutely devastated their ability to be largely self-sufficient. The first was the push to ban chemical fertilizers. //

This is coupled with a reluctance on the part of the island nation to introduce GMOs to their farming practices. As a result, the all-organic farming experiment in Sri Lanka has failed. //

But it’s the push of a foolish western religion – the issue of climate change – that is at most to blame here. The country was largely self-sufficient in rice production until the fertilizer ban and its top export, tea, was also crippled by the ban. Rice production fell by 20 percent in less than a year. Tea farming, which is the country’s biggest source of jobs, and its collapse has had a major impact on the nation’s citizens, leading to the civil unrest we’re seeing today.

Dogs can help keep neighborhoods safe and reduce crime: study

A new study from Ohio State University has found that neighborhoods with higher dog ownership tend to experience fewer crimes.

Glenn Rogers of New Jersey, a dog trainer with 26 years of police officer experience, told “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Saturday that he was not surprised by the study’s findings.

Rogers noted that while many dogs offer home protection in the case of unwanted intruders, the new study found that neighborhoods with high canine populations provided more eyes on the ground — which makes sense.

“What’s involved is the people who are walking their dogs in the neighborhood,” Rogers said during his live segment.

“They become almost like a neighborhood watch,” Rogers continued.

“They’re meeting their neighbors, and they’re getting to know their neighbors and getting to see what’s normal in the neighborhood if they do it every day.”

During his time in law enforcement, Rogers said that formal neighborhood watch groups sometimes tend to “fizzle out” over time.

Regular dog walking is a different idea, however.

“When you’ve got a dog, you might be taking the same walk for 15 years,” Rogers noted on “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
