Companies That Control the World's Food

The agriculture and food production industry employed more than one billion people as of last year, or a third of the global workforce. While the industry is substantial, a relatively small number of companies wield an enormous amount of influence.
In its 2013 report, “Behind the Brands,” Oxfam International focused on 10 of the world’s biggest and most influential food and beverage companies. These corporations are so powerful that their policies can have a major impact on the diets and working conditions of people worldwide, as well as on the environment. Based on the report, these are the 10 companies that control the world’s food.

In an interview with 24/7 Wall St., Chris Jochnick, director of the private sector department at Oxfam America, discussed the impact that these 10 companies have on the world. “If you look at the massive global food system, it’s hard to get your head around. Just a handful of companies can dictate food choices, supplier terms and consumer variety,” Jochnick said.
These 10 companies are among the largest in the world by a number of measures. All of them had revenues in the tens of billions of dollars in 2013. Five of these companies had at least $50 billion in assets, while four had more than $6 billion in profits last year. Additionally, these 10 companies directly employed more than 1.5 million people combined — and contracted with far more.
Nestle is the largest of these 10 companies. Converted into dollars, Nestle had more than $100 billion in sales and more than $11 billion in profits in 2013. The Switzerland food giant alone employed roughly 333,000 people.
Many of these companies and their brands are extremely well known. One reason is that they often spend huge sums on advertising. Nine of these 10 companies were among the 100 largest media spenders in the world in 2012. Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), the world’s sixth largest advertiser, spent more than $3 billion in 2012 on advertising. Unilever’s media expenditure, at $7.4 billion, was the second-highest worldwide.
With such scale, many of these companies’ policies — including advertising, food ingredients, environmental impact, and labor practices — have an significant impact on millions of lives. Often, these companies have been reluctant to address issues related to their environmental impact and the quality of life of workers in their supply chain. According to Jochnick, many of these companies are “unaware of the social and environmental impact that they are creating or facilitating.”
However, not all the companies are reluctant to address these problems. None of the 10 companies was better-rated by Oxfam than Nestle, which was closely followed by Unilever. Still, even these companies had problems, according to Oxfam’s 2013 report. In 2011, Nestle discovered cases of children working in its cocoa supply chain, as well as instances of forced labor. A supplier of palm oil for Unilever was accused of illegal deforestation and forcible land grabs.
A strong public profile, as well as consumer awareness, may lead these companies to address issues of concern. “A company that is good and trusted ought to be a company that is aware of, and taking steps to avoid, serious human rights or social or environmental problems that it is part of,” Jochnick said.
Some companies have taken steps towards becoming better corporate citizens. General Mills and Kellogg, which have been among the 10 companies Oxfam studied, have implemented new policies to address important issues such as climate change. Both companies recently committed to disclosing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years.
Based on Oxfam International’s 2013 report, “Behind the Brands: Food justice and the ‘Big 10’ food and beverage companies,” 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 10 companies that control the world’s food. We also added information on each company’s revenue, net profit, total assets, and employee count from their most recent annual report. Data were translated from foreign currencies based on the exchange rate on the final date of each company’s reporting period. Information on companies’ brands come from corporate websites and Oxfam. Data on 2012 advertising expenditures are from Advertising Age’s report, “Global Marketers 2013,” and are estimates. Estimates for Mars Incorporated, which is privately held, are from Forbes’ report “America’s Largest Private Companies 2013.”
These are the companies that control the world’s food.

15 Biggest Employers in the World

Source: courtesy of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT) is the world’s largest publicly traded employer, with approximately 2.2 million employees across of the globe, a number greater than the population of cities such as Houston, Philadelphia, and Phoenix.
In all, nearly 100 publicly-traded companies worldwide employ at least 175,000 workers each. These companies operate in a variety of industries, from fast food to energy to finance. They are also based throughout the world, from the United States to China to Russia to Germany. Based on figures from S&P Capital IQ, these are the largest employers in the world.
Employee count is just one indicator of a company’s size. The companies that employ the most workers are also extremely large by revenue. Of the top 15 global employers, five had revenues above $100 billion in their most recent fiscal year. Among these were Volkswagen, PetroChina (NYSE: PTR), and Wal-Mart Stores, which had more than a quarter of a trillion dollars in revenue each.
Many of the largest publicly traded employers are in labor intensive sectors, relying more on their employees to drive the business than on such factors as technology and equipment. For instance, G4S and ISS are support service companies that outsource workers to various companies and institutions. These organizations rely on such workers to provide cleaning, security, and other services. Other companies, such as retailers and restaurants, rely on a large staff to run their stores. Wal-Mart Stores and McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) are examples of such companies.
Many of these companies have become large employers because they were once key government agencies. For example, the now private Deutsche Post was once the German government’s postal service. Russia’s Gazprom, as well as Industrial Commercial Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China were also entirely government-owned until recently. The Russian government remains the majority owner of Gazprom. Chinese state-owned agencies still held majority stakes in ABC and ICBC, as well as oil and gas giant PetroChina, as of the end of last year.
Many of these companies benefit from their location. Notably, three of the largest employers are based in China. The world’s second largest economy has a total population of over 1.3 billion people, the most of any country in the world. Another three companies, including IBM (NYSE: IBM), McDonalds, and Wal-Mart Stores, are based in the U.S., also one of the world’s most populous countries and the largest by GDP.
Many of these companies benefit from a truly dominant presence in their home market. The majority of Wal-Mart Stores’ 2.2 million employees are based in the U.S. Similarly, the majority of global service provider ISS’s business is located in Western Europe, where the company has more than 200,000 employees and generates 51% of its revenue.
Other top employers have a large global presence. Sodexo maintains operations in 80 countries. For companies like ISS and G4S, recent emerging market growth has driven revenue growth and increased headcount. A large global presence, especially in industries such as food, cleaning, and security, allows a company to provide easy outsourcing options for local employers.
To determine the 15 publicly traded companies with the most employees worldwide, 24/7 Wall St. used figures from S&P Capital IQ. We then independently verified employee totals from each of the top 15 companies. When companies distinguished between part-time and full-time employees in their financial statements, S&P Capital IQ calculated part-time employees as half of a “full-time equivalent” worker. When companies did not distinguish between part-time and full-time workers, all employees were treated as full-time by Capital IQ. Capital IQ converted revenue figures of foreign companies into dollars based on the date at the end of each company’s filings.
These are the biggest employers in the world.

10. McDonald’s Corp.
> Total employees: 440,000
> Revenue: $28.1 billion
> Country: United States
> Industry: Restaurants
McDonald’s had some 440,000 employees in its corporate offices and company-owned restaurants at the end of its last fiscal year. It is not clear, however, how many of that total are part-time workers. As a proxy, roughly 86% of employees at competitor Yum! Brands were part-time last year. McDonald’s employee total also does not include workers at franchisee-owned restaurants. In total, 1.9 million people work for either McDonald’s or its franchises.
9. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited
> Total employees: 441,902
> Revenue: $ 91.1 billion
> Country: China
> Industry: Banking
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is the largest commercial bank in China by assets, loans, and total deposits. It holds nearly 20 trillion yuan in total assets while providing banking services to the most popular country in the world and its rapidly growing economy. The bank employs more than 440,000 workers. ICBC provides a vast number of universal banking services necessitating a network of employees to service its 10 trillion yuan in total loans, as well as its large customer base. In 2006, ICBC’s IPO raised more than $19 billion, the world’s largest until it was surpassed by Agricultural Bank of China’s IPO in 2010.
8. ISS A/S
> Total employees: 464,184
> Revenue: $14.5 billion
> Country: Denmark
> Industry: Diversified services
ISS, which began as a security services firm in 1901, has since expanded into facility management as well as cleaning, property, and catering services. The company, based in Denmark, provides outsourcing activities in more than 50 countries. Although not one of the largest companies by revenue, ISS operates in labor-intensive services sectors, necessitating employing many workers. The multinational company employs over 533,000 employees. Of these, 74% are full-time and 26% are part-time employees, leading to a full-time equivalent of 464,184. Staffing costs for ISS make up almost 70% of its total operating costs.
7. Agricultural Bank of China Limited
> Total employees: 478,980
> Revenue: $68.2 billion
> Country: China
> Industry: Banking
In 2010, Agricultural Bank of China held the largest IPO in the world, raising more than $19.2 billion. The bank’s market presence likely contributes to its large number of employees. Agricultural Bank of China has 23,547 domestic branches serving the largest population in the world. As of 2013, the bank had 14 trillion yuan in assets. Although it is publicly traded, the bank is considered one of China’s big-four state-owned banks, alongside ICBC, Bank of China, and China Construction Bank. As of last year, most shares in Agricultural Bank of China were still owned by the Chinese government.
6. Compass Group plc
> Total employees: 506,699
> Revenue: $28.4 billion
> Country: United Kingdom
> Industry: Diversified services
Compass Group is a food service company operating at roughly 50,000 sites in 50 countries. Helping to provide these services are more than 500,000 employees, working for Compass Group at office buildings, schools, sports venues, and even oil rigs. A large share of the company’s employees, over 200,000 in all, worked in North America as of the end of last year. Because of its high reliance on its people, Compass Group spent quite a sizable share of its costs on employees. In 2013, operating costs at the company totalled roughly 16.4 billion pounds, of which 8.1 billion pounds went to employee compensation such as wages, social security payments, and pension costs.

America's Most and Least Educated States

The share of adults with at least a bachelor’s degree hit an all time high in 2018, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. Recently released data shows that 32.6% of American adults age 25 and older hold a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 32.0% in 2017.
Americans with more educational attainment — especially those with a bachelor’s degree or higher — are more likely to have high-paying jobs and less likely to be unemployed. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the typical American adult with a four-year college education and a full-time job earns nearly $1,200 a week, about $470 more than someone with only a high school education. Additionally, those with just a high school education are about twice as likely to be unemployed as those with a bachelor’s degree.
There was a statistically significant increase in the bachelor’s degree attainment rate in 20 states in 2018. Of course, educational attainment rates are not even across the country, and some states have much higher rates of educational attainment than others. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed 2018 bachelor’s degree attainment rates from the ACS to identify America’s most and least educated states.
While a state may have reported an increase in educational attainment since 2017, not all increases were statistically significant. States in which the uptick was not significant were not counted as having an increase in bachelor’s degree attainment.
Several of the 20 states that reported a meaningful improvement in the bachelor’s degree attainment rate also reported a statistically significant increase in median household income, and all but one — West Virginia — reported an improvement in average annual unemployment between 2017 and 2018.
In general, states with higher educational attainment tend to have higher incomes and lower unemployment — and in states where a smaller share of adults have a college education, incomes tend to be low and the job markets are often not as strong. Here is a look at the states where it is hardest to find full-time work.
It is important to note that a college education can be expensive, and a bachelor’s degree in itself is no guarantee of a well-paying job. For the college-bound who are looking for a high-paying career, some fields of study are best avoided. These are the lowest paying college majors in America.

10 Safest High-Yield Dividends

Dividend payments in the S&P 500 keep setting new all-time highs. As of October, roughly 425 S&P 500 members paid dividends. The dividend yield for 98 of these companies was north of 3%. Still, not all dividends are created equally.
Some companies may have high dividend yields because their share price declined recently. At other companies, high dividend yield may be a sign of stability and safety. These dividend payments are not only unlikely to be cut or skipped in the near future, but rather raised for years into the future. 24/7 Wall St. identified the safest of the high dividend yield stocks in the S&P 500.

Income investors may opt for a Treasury note and its virtual guarantee of principal. But many investors want a higher yield than that of a Treasury security, as well as the potential for greater payments and capital appreciation in the years ahead. Further, interest rates have been set to rise for over a year now, but the 10-year Treasury yield is still currently just under 2.50%.
While many companies use stock buybacks, dividends are still the most direct method of returning capital to shareholders. Companies can repurchase stock simply because they have some extra cash on hand and the stock price may warrant it. Raising the dividend, on the other hand, implies that companies have visibility and confidence in their businesses for years into the future. To be considered a safe dividend, a stock’s current payout has to be within the means of the company’s current cash and earnings.
It turns out that only one of the 10 highest yielding S&P 500 stocks also made the list of the safest dividends — AT&T. The safest dividends do not usually have very high yields in the 8% to 10% range — such yields are often risky and the payments in danger of being slashed. While we used a market capitalization floor of $10 billion, all of the high yielding stocks with safe dividends have much larger market caps.
Companies that will likely not be able to afford their dividends in the years ahead were screened out as well. A dividend payout ratio of 80% of earnings was generally used as a bar, so that companies can retain some earnings for growth opportunities or stability ahead. REITS and similar pass-through structures were automatically excluded due to guidelines on having to pay out almost all of their income and due to potential fluctuations in those payouts.
While large scale mergers often make dividend and earnings analysis more difficult, the AT&T-DirecTV and Kinder Morgan deals will likely support the same or even higher dividend payouts ahead.

The Most Dangerous Cities in America
Michael B. Sauter, Samuel Stebbins, Thomas C. Frohlich
December 22, 2016 10:48 am
Last Updated: March 13, 2020 8:27 pm
The FBI reported Monday that 1,197,704 violent crimes were committed in 2015, up 3.9% from 2014. Violent crime rates are by no means uniform across the country. Some of the nation’s cities are far more dangerous than others.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed violent crime rates in major U.S. cities from the FBI’s 2015 Uniform Crime Report. Violent crime includes all offenses involving force or threat of force and are broken into four categories: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. For every 100,000 U.S. residents, 372 of these crimes were committed in 2015.
St. Louis, Missouri led the nation with 1,817 violent crimes per 100,000 residents last year. Cary, North Carolina, by contrast, is the safest city in the nation with just 51 reported violent crimes per 100,000 city residents.

Relatively crime-free cities can be found in states just a few hundred miles from some of the most violent places in the country. California is home to cities such as Irvine, Murrieta, and Sunnyvale, which have among the 10 lowest violent crime rates of all U.S. major cities. However, California is also home to some of the most violent cities in the country, including Oakland, which is just 40 miles from Sunnyvale.
In an interview with 24/7 Wall St., Nancy La Vigne, director of the Justice Policy Center at nonprofit economic and social policy research organization the Urban Institute, noted the highly localized nature of violence in the United States. “We see no connection between state policies and where these [crime] trends are up or down,” La Vigne said.
Because many diverse and complex factors can affect violence in a community, it is very difficult to predict and address violent crime. For example, some cities attempt to curb gang violence by increasing enforcement. These efforts, however, are usually not successful, “if you don’t look at issues around structural inequality and reasons why kids may be compelled to join gangs to begin with,” La Vigne explained.
In many cases, the reason for the heightened violence is the lack of law-abiding activities, including — La Vigne noted — employment opportunities. The unemployment rate exceeds the national rate of 5.3% in 19 of the 25 cities with the highest violent crime rates.
Several other social and economic factors have been tied to high violent crime. The vast majority of the cities with the highest violent crime rates tend to also report very low incomes, high poverty, and low educational attainment.
The cause and effect relationship between violent crime and measures of social well-being such as poverty, educational attainment, and employment can go in both directions. For example, people living in high-crime neighborhoods can suffer from stress and other negative social and health outcomes that can limit their chances to obtain an education and gainful employment. Or, businesses may be less likely to locate in high-crime neighborhoods, effectively limiting employment opportunities for local residents.
A relatively small percentage of the population — even within the most disadvantaged communities — is actually engaged in violence, according to La Vigne. Still, every resident of relatively unsafe communities is affected in some way by the violence that occurs there. “The difference between victim and perpetrator is often indistinguishable,” she said.
To identify the 25 most dangerous U.S. cities, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed violent crime rates in cities with at least 100,000 people from the FBI’s 2015 Uniform Crime Report released Monday. The total number and rates of murder, non negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, which are included in the violent crime rate, as well as burglaries, larceny, motor vehicle theft, and arson — all classified as property crime — also came from the FBI’s report. We also considered these data for each year from 2011 through 2015. Annual unemployment rates for 2015 came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Median household income, poverty rates, the percentage of adults with at least a bachelor’s degree, population, and the percentage of adults with at least a high school diploma came from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS).
These are America’s 25 most dangerous cities.

10 Best Cities for Waiters

Most waiters expect a 20% tip for good service, but does this actually happen? According to data collected from Americans using digital payment service Square, the average tip in the United States is just 16.1%.
Waiters across the country made $20,880 on average in 2013. In all of the best cities for waiters, workers waiting tables earned at least $25,000 in 2013, or roughly half of the average wage in their city.

Households in the best cities for waiters often have high median incomes. In four of these cities, households earned median incomes of at least $62,000 in 2013, well above the national median of $52,250 that year.

In other instances, laws governing how waiters are paid dictate the amount of money they bring home. In 43 states, employees who regularly receive tips are only required to be paid $2.13 an hour. Waiters expect tips to bring average hourly earnings above the state’s effective hourly minimum wage of at least $7.25. If the combination of wages and tips does not exceed $7.25 an hour, the employer is expected to pay the difference.
In other states, waiters are required to be paid the minimum wage. Four of the best cities for waiters are located in Washington, which has the highest minimum wage in the country and requires that waiters be paid at least $9.32 per hour.
In some areas, the amount that people tip does not seem to matter as much as the frequency with which people tip. In fact, half of the cities on this list are located in states where people tip more often than the national average of 55.6% of the time.
To determine the best cities for waiters, 24/7 Wall St. looked at the average annual wage for waiters in each city relative to the national average. Average annual wages are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and are calculated under the assumption that waiters work full time. We also looked at regional price parity from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and median household income from the Census Bureau. Employment and wage data are as of May 2013. All other data cover the 2013 calendar year.
These are the best cities for waiters.

States Where People Live Longest

The United States has a health problem. Across the country, life expectancies routinely fail to meet the standards set by other developed nations. Differences in life expectancy between the United States and other developed nations, such as Switzerland and Japan, are dramatic.
However, some states have closed the gap with these nations. In both Hawaii and Minnesota, a resident born in 2010 could expect to live 81 years on average. In 12 states, the life expectancy at birth was 80 years or more.
The states with the longest life expectancies have concurrently low mortality rates, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Across the United States, the age-adjusted mortality rate was 732.8 deaths per 100,000 people in 2012. However, in eight of the states with the highest life expectancies the mortality rate was less than 700 deaths for every 100,000 residents. In Hawaii, the age-adjusted mortality rate was just 586.5 per 100,000, the lowest in the country.
Access to health coverage is among the important factors that promotes good health — and as a result leads to longer lives. In most of the states with the longest life expectancies a far lower percentage of the population was uninsured relative to the nation as a whole. While 14.5% of Americans did not have health care coverage last year, only 3.7% of Massachusetts residents did not. In Hawaii and Vermont the uninsured rates was also less than half the national rate.

However, not all the research is conclusive on the effects of health care coverage on mortality. One 2009 study in the American Journal of Public Health stated that a lack of coverage led to nearly 45,000 deaths in the United States a year. However, another 2009 study appearing in Health Services Research argued that “there is little evidence to suggest that extending insurance coverage to all adults would have a large effect on the number of deaths in the United States.”
Poverty, too, can contribute to poor health outcomes. In fact, many states that have relatively high life expectancies also have relatively low poverty rates. New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Hawaii were all among the states with the longest life expectancies, as well as among the five states with the lowest poverty rates.
Some contributors to poor health and the resulting low life expectancies are preventable.
Smoking, for instance, was far more prevalent in the states with the lowest life expectancies, as was physical inactivity. By contrast, in many of the healthiest states, people were far more likely to have healthy habits, such as not smoking and being more active.
In order to identify the states with the highest life expectancies at birth in 2010, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed figures from the OECD’s 2014 study on regional well-being. Data on age-adjusted mortality rates are from the CDC for 2012. Figures on poverty and health insurance coverage are from the Census Bureau’s 2013 American Community Survey. Other figures cited are from the 2014 edition of America’s Health Rankings, an annual study from the United Health Foundation.
These are the states where people live longest.

The Most Dangerous States in America
Thomas C. Frohlich
November 14, 2016 6:00 am
Last Updated: August 14, 2020 1:57 pm
Violence in the United States has steadily declined for several decades. While the violent crime rate has fallen considerably — from 685 incidents reported per 100,000 Americans in 1995 to the current rate of 383 incidents per 100,000 — the national violent crime rate rose 3.0% last year.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed violent crime rates in each state from data collected through the FBI’s 2015 Uniform Crime Report Program. Violent crime includes all offenses involving force or threat of force and are broken into four categories: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. These crimes are more common in some states than in others.
Alaska is the most dangerous state in the country with a violent crime rate of 730 incidents per 100,000 state residents.

In an interview with 24/7 Wall St., Nancy G. La Vigne, director of the Justice Policy Center at public policy research organization Urban Institute, said, “crime clusters not just within major metropolitan areas but even within cities.” For this reason, La Vigne noted, it is very difficult to draw conclusions from statewide trends alone.
Violent crime is considerably more common in urban centers than in rural regions. While it is not always the case, violent crime rates across the 10 states on this list can be largely attributed to high crime levels in the states’ cities. Of the dozens of cities tracked by the FBI in the nation’s most dangerous states, only a handful report crime rates lower than the national rate. Notably, three cities in Missouri — St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield — as well as Memphis, Tennessee; Little Rock, Arkansas; and Anchorage, Alaska all reported violent crime rates greater than 1,000 incidents per 100,000 people.
Poverty and lack of job opportunity in communities can lead to crime at the local level, and the states with the highest violent crime rates tend to also have worse social and economic conditions than safer states. The poverty rate meets or exceeds the national rate of 14.7% in eight of the 10 states with the highest violent crime rates. Similarly, the annual unemployment rate is greater than the national 2015 rate of 5.3% in seven of the 10 states.
While the relationship is somewhat tenuous and complicated, there appears to be a connection between socioeconomic factors and crime levels. As La Vigne said, “People who engage in criminal behavior often may do so because of an absence of opportunity.”
Local factors are perhaps better drivers and predictors of violence. By seeking to address some of the roots of crime, state policies can help reduce a state’s crime levels. La Vigne noted sets of reforms that focus on reducing recidivism as one example of policies that can improve public safety. According to a federally funded 2014 study by the Council of State Governments Justice Center, “Reducing Recidivism: States Deliver Results,” some states have had success lowering recidivism with state-level policies.
The violent crime rate increased in all of the nation’s most dangerous states. In seven of the 10 states, the violent crime rate increased faster than the nationwide uptick of 3.0% between 2014 and 2015. In Alaska, Missouri, and Alabama, the increase exceeded 10%.
To identify the 10 most dangerous states, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the number of violent crimes reported per 100,000 people (the violent crime rate) in each state from the FBI’s 2015 Uniform Crime Report. The total number and rates of murder, nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, which are included in the violent crime rate, as well as burglaries, larceny, motor vehicle theft, and arson — all classified as property crime — also came from the FBI’s report. We considered these data for each year from 2011 through 2015. Annual unemployment rates for 2015 came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Median household income, poverty rates, the percentage of adults with at least a bachelor’s degree, population, and the percentage of adults with at least a high school diploma came from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2015 American Community Survey.
These are the most dangerous states in America.

Violent crime is considerably more common in urban centers than in rural regions. While it is not always the case, violent crime rates across the 10 states on this list can be largely attributed to either low levels of violence reported in the states’ cities or to the absence of major cities in these states. Of the dozens of cities tracked by the FBI in the nation’s 10 safest states, only a handful report crime rates higher than the national rate. Cities such as Provo and West Jordan, Utah; Stamford, Connecticut; Boise City, Idaho; Lexington, Kentucky; and Fargo, North Dakota all report below average violent crime rates.
On the other hand, some states on this list remained among the nation’s safest despite containing cities with staggeringly high violent crime rates. Manchester, New Hampshire; Bridgeport and Hartford Connecticut, as well as Salt Lake City, Utah, for example, all have violent crime rates well over 600 incidents per 100,000 people.
Economic prosperity and the presence of job opportunities in communities can lower the likelihood of crime at the local level, and the states with the lowest violent crime rates tend to also have better economic and social conditions than more violent states. The poverty rate is lower than the national rate of 14.7% in eight of the 10 states with the lowest violent crime rates. The annual unemployment rate is lower than the national 2015 rate of 5.3% in eight of these 10 states.
Explaining these economic factors as just some of the many drivers of crime, La Vigne said, “People who engage in criminal behavior often may do so because of an absence of opportunity.”
The violent crime rate, while relatively low, decreased in only three of nation’s safest states. The violent crime rate in four of the 10 states increased slower than the nationwide uptick of 3.0% between 2014 and 2015. In the remaining three states — Vermont, Wyoming, and Utah — violent crime rates actually increased considerably faster than across the nation.
To identify the 10 safest states, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the number of violent crimes reported per 100,000 people (the violent crime rate) in each state from the FBI’s 2015 Uniform Crime Report.

The Common Core State Standards Initiative, implemented during the Obama administration, established a uniform set of expectations for American public school students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Still, the authority to establish budgets, standards, and curriculums for public school students falls largely to state governments — and partially as a result, education outcomes vary considerably across the country.
24/7 Wall St. created an index, inspired by the Quality Counts ranking of state education created by independent news journal Education Week, to identify the states with the best and worst schools. States were ranked from best performing down to worst on a variety of measures covering school funding, academic achievement, and enrollment.
High rates of proficiency in reading and math and the share of students who graduate on time are direct measures of how effective a state’s school system is — and the highest ranking states on this list tend to do well in these measures. For example, in each of the top 10 states on this list, the share of 8th graders proficient in math and reading exceeds the 32.9% and 32.4% national averages. Similarly, in nine of the top 10 states, graduation rates exceed the 84.6% national average. Here is a look at the U.S. cities where students are most likely to graduate from high school.
Other data included in our index, like public school funding per pupil and preschool enrollment, do not reflect student outcomes but can often be indicative of school quality and a child’s likelihood for academic success. While there are countless external factors that can affect a child’s academic performance, including family income and parental educational attainment, we only included measures directly related to state school systems.
It is important to note that this list is intended to rank state school systems as a whole, and that a state’s ranking on this list is not indicative of school outcomes and quality in specific districts. Even in lower ranking states, there are schools and school districts with better than average outcomes. Here is a list of the best public high school in every state.

Every winter seems a little different from the one before, and nothing is as notoriously unpredictable as the weather. The expectation of a harsh winter is part of life in many parts of the country. And in certain sections of the Northern United States, average temperatures during winter would make anyone cringe.
Using daily temperatures tracked over a 30-year period, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) defines the normal high and low temperatures for every month for over 250 cities. (Here are the 50 hottest cities in America).
To identify America’s 50 coldest cities, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the minimum average temperature for the coldest month from 1981 to 2010 for every place tracked by the U.S. Census Bureau with at least 10,000 residents. This is the latest data available. We added population, the lowest temperature on record, and annual average snowfall for each city listed. For more on snowfall, see: the snowiest counties in every state.
Most of the cities on this list are located in the Midwest, with the top 10 coldest cities mostly in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Overall, the list includes cities from 19 states. Six of the 50 coldest cities are in Nebraska and another six are in Wisconsin — tied for the most of any state.

The Best (and Worst) States for Business

In December, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was notable for giving substantial breaks to American businesses. Included in the act was a significant cut in the maximum federal business tax rate, reducing it from 35% to 21%.
Regardless of the implications of this new bill for low-and middle-income Americans and for the programs that may soon lack funding, the tax cuts were unquestionably good news for American business in what has already been a boom time for many companies. Despite a sell off earlier in the year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is near record highs, The economy has added jobs for 87 straight months, and GDP has grown for seven straight years.
This period of prosperity has by no means been even across the country. While GDP grew by an aggregate annual rate of 1.5% over the past five years, it declined in seven states, including by more than 5% in Alaska.
A number of factors can explain the regional differences in economic growth, including the varying business climates across states. While many factors affect the success of a region’s businesses, socioeconomic conditions, differences in geography, and regional regulations contribute to an overall business environment. Depending on these conditions, running a successful business in one state can be much easier than in another.
To determine which states have the best and worst business climates, 24/7 Wall St. identified and reviewed nearly 50 measures of doing business. These were divided into eight major categories: economic conditions, business costs, state infrastructure, the availability and skill level of the workforce, quality of life, regulations, technology and innovation, and cost of living.
A number of region-specific policies, costs, and regulations affect a state’s business climate, including liability and oversight laws, utility costs, insurance requirements, and tax policy.

10 Retailers Closing the Most Stores

With the growth of e-commerce still outpacing the overall growth of retail sales, retailers are continuing to close brick-and-mortar outlets.
While total U.S. retail sales grew 3.7% in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter in 2013, e-commerce sales jumped 14.6% in the fourth quarter. One year earlier, total sales grew 3.8% year-over-year, while e-commerce sales increased 16.0%.
As e-commerce increasingly grabs a larger share of retail sales, several major retailers are reducing their physical presence, including department stores and specialty retailers such as clothing stores, bookstores and electronics outlets. Some retailers saw sales reduced due to strategic mistakes or consolidation through mergers and still others due to over-expansion. According to Dorothy Lakner, managing director at Topeka Capital Markets, “The new ideal store count for a U.S. national chain [of clothing retailers] is 600 to 700 stores.”
Click here to see the 10 companies closing the most stores.
The 24/7 Wall St. analysis found three major department stores that announced or continued previously announced decisions to scale back the number of outlets. In at least one instance, the store closures managed to halt the ongoing sales declines. J.C. Penney, for example, the shrinking store count reversed a tailspin that followed a strategic, near-disastrous decision by the retailer to take the middle-market store upscale. That decision confounded customers who eventually began shopping elsewhere, forcing the chain to look for savings.
As part of a bankruptcy filing, RadioShack announced the most recent large scale store closure. Other electronics giants — Circuit City, CompUSA to name two — disappeared in recent years, while others, such as Best Buy, have been struggling. RadioShack is restructuring in bankruptcy and the familiar stores could resurface through a forced marriage with Sprint.
No retailers have perhaps felt more strongly the effect of the e-commerce boom than book stores. The advent of Amazon.com already led to the demise of Waldenbooks, Borders and B. Dalton booksellers and now threatens Barnes & Noble. Barnes & Noble tried to hang on by developing the Nook e-reader to take direct aim at Amazon.com’s signature e-reader, Kindle. But in its most recent financial report, Barnes & Noble said revenue for its Nook division fell while earnings for its book division were basically flat. As a result, in the current fiscal year, Barnes & Noble plans to close 13 stores instead of the 20 it earlier forecast.
“Sales trends are turning,” Mitchell Klipper, CEO of the Barnes & Noble retail group, who is retiring on May 2 told the Wall Street Journal. “Why close a store that’s profitable?”
Barnes & Noble still expects to spin off its college bookstore group this summer.
A large retailer that appears to have benefited from consolidation is Dollar Tree, which acquired Family Dollar Stores. The two similar chains competed on different turfs: Dollar Tree catered largely to suburban customers, while Family Dollar went after urban customers. As a result of its merger with Family Dollar, Dollar Tree became the No. 1 dollar store chain in North America.
To identify the companies closing the most stores, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed large U.S. retailers that have announced store closings for 2015, or that are in the process of multi-year plans to reduce their physical footprints. Company earnings, store and employee counts, as well as other financial information came from the companies’ SEC filings.
These are the 10 retailers closing the most stores.

A diverse array of companies is essential for a state to maintain a stable and healthy labor market. Some companies, however, impact a state’s economy and labor market far more than others.
In almost every case, a state’s government is its largest employer. However, government employment is spread across various organizations. In each state, there is one company or public institution that employs the most people. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed data from a range of sources in order to identify the largest employers in each state.
There is a large variation in the number of workers that the largest employers in each state employ. This is due largely to states’ various population sizes. In Maine, the largest employer — Hannaford Supermarkets — employs only 10,000 workers. By contrast, in Texas, the largest employer — Walmart — employs more than 171,831 workers.

As the world’s largest retailer, Walmart has an outsized impact on state labor markets.
Walmart is the only company to claim the top employer spot in more than one state. In fact, the nation’s largest retailer employs the most people in 19 states.
Educational and medical institutions also frequently top a state’s list of employers. The most common largest employer across the 50 states, after Walmart, is the state’s university system. Educational services dominate statewide employment in 16 states. Organizations operating in the healthcare sector are often major employers as well. Several of these are also part of a university system.
The largest employer in each state also tends to serve and employ people from the surrounding region, if not from across the nation. The total countrywide headcount for a number of these large employers often far exceeds the statewide headcount.
To determine the largest employer in each state, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed employment figures for nonprofits and private and publicly held companies from company press releases, government data, business journals, local media reports, as well as statements from company representatives. For the purposes of our analysis, we treated state government employers like public universities as independent organizations, in keeping with how states frequently identify and compare company headcounts. Military bases were excluded from the rank. In most cases, employee counts for the various colleges, laboratories, and medical centers falling under a single university system were combined. This was because these systems frequently attribute employees from the university and medical centers together. However, when a spokesperson from the medical centers or universities identified the organizations as distinct employers, they were counted separately.
These are the largest employers in each state.

The Most Republican County in Each State

In just over a month, the United States will finally elect its next president after close to two years of campaigning, fundraising, scandals, and debates.
Republican candidate Donald Trump is considered an outsider to politics and the party. As a result — and because Trump’s views have sometimes clashed with the party’s vision — some have wondered whether this election might be less divided along party lines than in recent elections. Despite the division within the Republican Party, most major polls suggest that the majority of states will vote the same as in the past several elections. It seems that a portion of the population will always vote Republican or Democrat no matter who is running for president.
Based on voting data compiled by political news organization Politico and a review of current and historical representation in the U.S. Congress, 24/7 Wall St. created an index to measure the political leanings of U.S. counties’ residents. The index is based on the political party of the county’s elected representatives to the Senate and House of Representatives through the last five election cycles, as well as the results of the 2012 presidential election.

Even in the most liberal states there is at least one county that has strong Republican leanings. In Illinois, 57% of the electorate voted for President Barack Obama, the state’s former senator. Yet, in Wayne County, less than 20% of those who went to the polls voted for Obama. Wayne, which is in the state’s 15th congressional district, has been represented by a Republican for decades.
The racial composition of these counties can likely help explain the Republican leanings of the area’s residents. The vast majority of residents in most of the reddest counties identify as white. In 40 states, at least 80% of the population of the most Republican county identify as white. That was the case in just 12 of the bluest counties in each state.
Voters in the reddest counties were almost always more likely than residents of other counties to vote Republican during the 2012 presidential election, and the share of votes cast for then Republican candidate Mitt Romney was almost always greater than 50%. However, in four of the reddest counties — Honolulu County, Hawaii; Plymouth County, Massachusetts; Washington County, Rhode Island; and Essex County, Vermont — a majority of residents voted to reelect Obama in 2012. In these counties, Romney still captured the largest share of votes compared to other counties in the state.

The States With the Most Deadly Accidents

There were 130,557 accidental deaths in the United States in 2013. Some types of accidental deaths are more common than others. Drug poisonings and motor vehicle accidents were the two leading causes of unintentional deaths.
24/7 Wall St. examined data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on accidental deaths by state. West Virginia had the highest accidental death rate at 71.5 deaths per 100,000 residents. New York had the lowest rate at 27.5 deaths per 100,000 residents. These are the states with the highest accidental death rates.

Motor vehicle accidents were the leading cause of accidental death in 18 states. Some of these states had relatively lax motor vehicle regulations. Montana, for example, does not require periodic vehicle safety inspections, which would keep less safe vehicles off the road. Mississippi, like just a few other states, does not use a point system to monitor driver records. This may allow dangerous drivers to stay on the road longer than they would in states that use such a system.
In another 25 states, poisoning was the leading cause of accidental deaths, the vast majority of which were drug-related. Drug use, including prescription drugs, was quite common in many of these states. The proportion of residents reporting near-daily use of mind-altering drugs to relax exceeded the national average of 18.9% in six of the top 10 states for accidental deaths.
Another leading cause of accidental death was falls. While it is unclear why some states reported higher rates of deaths from falling than others, the eight states that reported falls as the leading cause of accidental death included some of the most mountainous states in the country: Vermont, New Hampshire, Colorado, and Oregon. None of those states were within the 10 states with the highest death rate.
Higher accidental death rates may contribute to higher mortality rates overall. The estimated years of potential life lost prior to age 75 exceeded the national average of roughly 7,000 years in all of the states with the highest accidental death rates.
To identify the states with the most deadly accidents, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the age-adjusted accidental death rate in each state in 2013 from the CDC. Nominal figures and age-adjusted rates by cause of accidental death also came from the CDC. The age-adjusted death rate is used to allow for comparisons of relative mortality risks across groups and over time. We also looked at the percentage of a state’s population reporting near-daily mind-altering drug use in 2014 from Gallup’s most recent Healthways Well-Being Index. Violent crimes per 100,000 people and drug abuse violations in 2013 came from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). We also considered educational attainment rates, the percentage of people with no health insurance, and household median income from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS). Unemployment rates for 2013 came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
These are the states with the most deadly accidents.

The 20 Largest Privately Held Companies in America

Last Updated: April 24, 2015 11:42 am
Many of the largest companies are also household names — but not all. While often the largest public companies are recognizable, some of the largest private companies are far less known. For example, privately owned Cargill, a large conglomerate heavily involved in agricultural and food production, had revenues of nearly $135 billion in 2014. This was more than the 2014 revenue of widely known and public AT&T of about $132.4 billion.
Based on data from PrivCo, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 20 private companies with the largest revenues. All of these companies had revenues of at least $20 billion, with Koch Industries and Cargill Incorporated reporting revenues well over $100 billion, the two highest. The companies employ between 5,000 and 200,000 workers each, with Ernst & Young employing the most workers at roughly 200,000.

These companies do not have much in common beyond being privately held and often also being quite old. Several of the companies were founded in the 1800s or early 1900s. Cargill, the largest private company, is also one of the nation’s oldest, founded in 1865 at the end of the Civil War. The size of these companies is often the result of success compounded over decades, leading them to become dominant players in their respective industries.
In an interview with 24/7 Wall St., Radek Jagielski, Senior Analyst at PrivCo, explained how large capital bases accumulated over many years are a major advantage for these companies. With so many resources available for investment, “there’s really no reason for them to go public and dilute their ownership, ” said Jagielski. In addition, Jagielski explained, large capital bases can be used to “acquire competitors before they become real threats.”
Many of the oldest companies on the list are family owned businesses, with namesakes still held by current owners. In several cases, family members have retained an active role in the management of the company. For example, Bechtel, one of the world’s largest construction and engineering contractors, is chaired by Riley Bechtel, while Brendan Bechtel is the company’s president and COO.
In all cases, the families’ retention of control of these large companies has resulted in extraordinary inherited wealth. For example, the Koch brothers, who control Koch Industries, are estimated to be worth more than $40 billion each.
Many of the largest private companies are mutual insurance companies. These are insurance companies that are set up to be owned by their policyholders, and so are inherently private companies. These companies, such as State Farm Mutual and Health Care Service Corporation are among the largest insurance companies in the nation.
Policyholders at these insurance companies have voting rights and do not have to worry about being taken over. According to Jagielski, this means these companies can make more long-term strategic plans. In addition, he said, policyholders are able to make changes when they’re unhappy with the insurance product. Less access to capital is one disadvantage to this model. However, as all of the insurance companies on this list have been around for nearly 100 years or more, access to capital is not a major issue.
To identify the largest private companies, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 100 U.S. private companies with the largest annual revenue figures from PrivCo. Revenues are as of the most recent period available. Company headcounts, headquarter locations, and the industries in which the companies operate also come from PrivCo. Financial data and company histories come from company websites.
These are 20 largest private companies.

The States With the Most McDonald's
Mark Lieberman, Thomas C. Frohlich

Last Updated: April 27, 2015 9:31 am
McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD), with almost 16,000 outlets, is the largest fast-food hamburger chain in the United States. Many of the states where McDonald’s iconic Golden Arches dominate the landscape are also, coincidentally, states with the highest rates of obesity and deaths due to heart disease.
The circumstantial evidence may be there, but no studies demonstrate a direct link between McDonald’s specifically and adverse health outcomes. Academic research does, however, show high concentrations of obesity and other negative health outcomes where there are clusters of fast food restaurants of any type.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 10 states with the highest concentration of McDonald’s restaurants, measured as outlets per 100,000 residents from restaurant reviewer and data compiler Menuism. Six of the 10 states also reported the highest obesity rates in the country. At the other end of the scale, four of the 10 states with the lowest concentration of McDonald’s outlets had among the lowest obesity rates.
While there are of course other fast food chains in the country, the association between McDonald’s and many negative health outcomes is often stronger than it is with other chains. Of the 10 states with the greatest concentration of major fast food restaurants, excluding McDonald’s, three have among the lowest obesity rates in the country and none are among the 10 highest.
Click here to see the states with the highest concentrations of McDonald’s restaurants.
Fast food consumption may lead to negative health outcomes. However, the concentration of fast food stores does not account for consumption levels. There are also many other factors, such as low income, high poverty rates, and distance from sources of fresh fruits and vegetables, which contribute to negative health outcomes. The states with the highest obesity rates share a number of these factors. They have some of the lowest household incomes in the country and, correspondingly, some of the highest poverty rates.
Academics who have authored separate studies on fast food restaurants and negative health outcomes differ in their conclusions.
Dr. Lewis Morgenstern, a professor of neurology and director of the stroke program at the University of Michigan Hospital, led a study into the relationship between the concentration of fast food restaurants in a neighborhood and strokes in that neighborhood.
In an interview with 24/7 Wall St. Morgenstern said “we don’t really know, in most of these studies, including the one that I did, that anybody in these neighborhoods who had a stroke ever ate a french fry.” He added, “In the neighborhoods where fast foods are, people tend to have more strokes, but whether it’s some aspect of the neighborhood or the people that live in the neighborhood or the fast food itself, we have no idea.” Obesity, he noted, is a risk factor for strokes.
The author of a separate study had a somewhat alternative view. “Fast food seems to be something that is an indulgence for us,” said Daniel Kruger, professor of health education and health behavior at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Consuming fast food may be ok in moderation, but eating too much of it can result in a range of adverse health outcomes.
Kruger’s study found a high local concentration of fast food outlets is itself a risk factor. “The main point of our study was that people have a lot more of these fast food restaurants around them, and they’re going to have higher obesity,” he said. Kruger explained how the high frequency of fast food restaurants like McDonald’s is often representative of a poor landscape, in which multiple factors can lead to poor health.
While Kruger cited a study that suggested some fast food outlets serve less nutritious food than others, like Morgenstern, he would not single out McDonald’s or any other chain.
“I don’t think that we can blame the company at this point,” Morgenstern said. “It would be nice if they helped in the research to try to figure out whether the products that they sell are related to negative health, but I don’t think we know that at this point. We need more research.”
To identify the states with the greatest concentration of McDonald’s restaurants, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed location data for McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s (NASDAQ: WEN), Taco Bell, KFC which is a division of Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM), Subway, Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), Pizza Hut, Dunkin’ Donuts (NYSE: DNKN), and Chick-fil-A from Menuism. Population data, income, and poverty statistics are from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2013 American Community Survey (ACS). Also from the ACS, we included educational attainment rates, self-reported obesity rates, and the percentage of the population without health insurance. We also considered the percentage of the population with low access to major food stores from the USDA’s Food Atlas.
These are the states with the most McDonald’s outlets per 100,000 residents.

In American politics, the issue of income inequality comes up frequently. As wealth continues to concentrate at the top — now the wealthiest 10% of American households control nearly 75% of household net worth — the middle continues to shrink, and some previously thriving metro areas have been hard hit by extreme poverty.
But income inequality is not a uniquely American issue. Nations from all six populated continents have massive wealth gaps between their richest and poorest residents. Many of the most economically productive countries in the world have not been able to devise a way to stop, or even slow, the growing inequality.
Income inequality across a population is quantified using the Gini coefficient measure. On the Gini scale, inequality is measured from 0 to 1, where 0 represents a perfectly equal society and 1 represents extreme inequality where a single individual controls all the wealth.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed the Gini coefficient of 42 countries from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development to identify the countries with the widest gaps between the rich and the poor. Both OECD member states and affiliated states were considered. OECD members tend to be high income nations, and income inequality may be even more pronounced in poorer countries not considered.

To determine the countries with the most uneven distribution of income, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed post-tax and transfer Gini coefficients published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. We also considered data on GDP at purchasing power parity, poverty rate, unemployment, GDP per capita, as well as social spending (which the OECD defines as “cash benefits, direct in-kind provision of goods and services, and tax breaks with social purposes”) — all from the OECD. We also reviewed the Corruption Perceptions Index from global corruption watchdog Transparency International to gauge levels of public sector corruption. All figures are for the most recently available year. All ranks are for the OECD member and affiliated states with data available.

The Most and Least Valuable States

Placing an accurate dollar value on America’s land — from natural features such as rivers and mountains to developed lands that include farms and skyscrapers — is virtually impossible.
Some experts, though, have attempted to arrive at a rough approximation. Based on the work of economist William D. Larson, the total value of the 1.9 billion acres in the contiguous 48 states is nearly $23 trillion — or about $12,000 an acre on average. The federal government’s stake in this land, nearly one-quarter of the acreage, is worth $1.8 trillion.
While an acre of land is valued at less than $2,000 in the least valuable state, an acre goes for more than 100 times that in the most valuable state. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the estimated value of land in each of the contiguous 48 states using data from Larson’s 2015 study, “New Estimates of Value of Land of the United States.”
Nearly half of the land in the contiguous United States is used for agriculture — the largest or one of the largest industries in several states. With three-quarters or more of the acreage in eight states used for agriculture, farming is concentrated in some states a great deal more than others.
Whether an acre of land is part of a sprawling farm or a dense metro area, its value is mostly determined by its use. Developed land, defined as area covered by roads and buildings, accounts for only 6% of the acreage in the contiguous 48 states, yet it holds more than half of the total value. Developed tracts in many cases house some of the nation’s largest economic engines — and many people live inside dense urban areas where demand for real estate is high. Many of the most valuable states are home to some of America’s richest cities.

Steaks are expensive — whether you buy them at the grocery store or at a restaurant. Steak is often the most expensive item on a restaurant’s menu, and steakhouses are some of the most expensive restaurants.
However, the average price of a meal at a steakhouse varies considerably across the country. A meal — an entree, a drink, and the tip — at Cut, a high-end steakhouse in Beverly Hills, costs $106 on average, the highest in the country. Of the 380 steakhouses reviewed, the least expensive was Clyde’s Prime Rib Restaurant in Portland, Oregon, where a typical meal costs $26. Using Zagat, a restaurant-reviewing service, 24/7 Wall St. identified the 25 most expensive steakhouses in the country.

The most expensive steakhouses are clustered in particular areas. In fact, just nine cities are home to the 25 most expensive steakhouses. Six of the 25 restaurants are located in Las Vegas, a city renowned for indulgence. Another eight steakhouses are located in New York City, one of the most expensive cities in the country.
While Las Vegas is a popular tourist location, it is also a popular destination for world-renowned chefs. Wolfgang Puck and Jean Georges Vongerichten, for example, were top tier chefs in the United States and France, respectively, before they opened restaurants in Sin City.
The city where a restaurant is located plays a role in determining the restaurant’s cost. In fact, the cost of living in the four metro areas with the majority of the most expensive steakhouses —- the Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. areas — is nearly 20% higher than across the country.
The quality of the beef is an important consideration for many of the most expensive steakhouses. At least four of these steakhouses serve wagyu beef, meat from a breed of cow known for its tenderness. The menu at Doris Metropolitan, the second most expensive steakhouse located in New Orleans, lists a 10-ounce wagyu striploin for $175.
While many may consider the steakhouse a unique feature of American culture, many of the most expensive steakhouses are heavily influenced by other cuisines. The top 25 steakhouses feature Japanese, South American, Mediterranean, French, and Italian cuisines.
When reviewing a restaurant, Zagat rates the restaurant’s food, decor, and service, each on a scale of 0 to 30. A rating higher than 25 indicates that the restaurant’s performance in a particular category ranges from extraordinary to perfection. Ten of the most expensive steakhouses in the country received at least a 25 in every category.
For many diners, steak quality is the most important aspect of the overall restaurant experience. The food at 21 of the most expensive steakhouses received a rating of 25 or higher. Prime Steakhouse and SW Steakhouse, both in Las Vegas, each received a food quality rating of 27 out of 30, the second best rating awarded to any expensive steakhouse. However, high prices do not guarantee food quality. Three of the most expensive steakhouses received a food quality rating of 23 or lower.
In addition to the food, the overall experience of a restaurant is often just as important. More than half of the most expensive steakhouses received a service rating of 25 or higher, indicating that extraordinary service accompanies the high priced meal at these establishments.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 25 restaurants with the highest average meal prices from Zagat, which provided data for steakhouses in 34 major cities across the country. A meal includes an entree, one drink, and gratuity. Also from Zagat, we considered restaurants’ ratings for service, food quality, and decor. All ratings are out of 30. Regional price parity, a proxy for cost of living, comes from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and is for 2012.
These are the most expensive steakhouses in the country.

The 10 Most Oil-Rich States

Oil futures fell last week, the biggest weekly decline since March, after the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said that U.S. oil and gas inventories unexpectedly rose the week before. Further, even as the EIA raised U.S. crude oil production forecasts for 2015 and 2016, the International Energy Agency warned that an oversaturated market may drive oil prices down further. The weakness in prices could have a profound effect on some states that rely on oil production.
Based on data from the EIA, the 10 states with the most proven oil reserves accounted for more than 80% of total U.S. reserves in 2013. Texas, the state with the most proven reserves, had nearly 10.5 billion barrels, nearly double the reserves of North Dakota, the state with the second most reserves. These are the most oil rich states in the country.

Unsurprisingly, the states with the highest totals of proven reserves are also among the largest oil producing states. Together, these 10 states produced nearly 2.5 billion barrels of oil in 2014, or 77% of the nation’s total production that year. Offshore drilling, not attributable to any state, accounted for much of the rest of the production.
Technological advancements in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, commonly called fracking, have allowed oil companies to access shale formations that were previously unreachable. The Permian Basin in Texas, for example, was believed to have run dry in the early 2000s. New technologies, however, have revived the region and the Permian Basin is now the country’s leading oil producing region.
Extensions — or newly accessible reserves that are attributed to previously existing oil fields — are one way to increase proven reserves. In 2013, extensions contained roughly 4.4 billion barrels of oil across the country, nearly all of which located in the 10 most oil-rich states. Additionally, nearly the entire increase in proven reserves in 2013 was from extensions.
As a result of the oil boom in these states, jobs in the mining and logging sector, which includes oil and gas extraction, have increased. In six of these states, employment in the sector grew by more than 60% from 2005 through 2014, higher than the 42% increase in sector employment across the country.
GDP growth is another way to measure the vitality of a state’s economy. While the U.S. economy grew by 2.2% in 2013, the GDP of seven of the states with the most reserves grew by more than 2.5%, largely driven by the mining industry. In Wyoming, for example, 3.5 percentage points of the state’s 5.1% GDP growth came from the mining sector. Texas, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Colorado received a similar boost from the booming oil industry.
The existence of oil in a state does not guarantee economic success, however. Alaska and California both had among the highest unemployment rates in the country despite having the nation’s third and fourth most proven reserves, respectively.
To identify the most oil-rich states, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed data on proved oil reserves from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Reserves figures are as of December 31, 2013, the most recent date for which data are available. We also looked at the changes in proved reserves since 2000. Also from the EIA, we considered extensions to existing oil fields, new field discoveries, the number of refineries, and total crude oil production. We examined trends in each data point beginning in 2000. We also looked at unemployment rates, and employment and labor force levels from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. GDP growth and industry contribution to growth came from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and are for 2013.
These are the 10 most oil-rich states.

America's Most Violent and Peaceful States

Warfare is the most harrowing example of violence. While the United States is actively engaged in military campaigns abroad, war, in the traditional sense, has not been fought on our soil in over 150 years. Still, violence manifests itself in this country in other ways.
The most common form of violence in the United States today is violent crime — a broad classification comprising four types of offenses: aggravated assault, robbery, rape, and homicide. Nationwide, there were 382.9 reported violent crimes for every 100,000 people in 2017, according to the FBI.
Another, perhaps less obvious, type of violence common in the United States are lawful punishments, specifically arrest and detention. There are currently 440 state and federal prisoners in the United States for every 100,000 people.
Additionally, in a perfectly peaceful society, there would be no need for small arms, the type typically used for self defense. Because accurate handgun ownership data is unavailable nationwide, suicide by firearm is commonly used as a proxy.
Rates of violent crime, incarceration, and suicide carried out with a firearm are not uniform across the country, and some states are far more violent places than others. 24/7 Wall St. created an index of these measures to identify the most peaceful and most violent states.
Generally, violence tends to be less common in areas with more economic opportunity. Many of the most violent states also have some of the highest unemployment rates in the country. Meanwhile, the most peaceful states tend to have strong economies and low unemployment. These are the states with the best and worst economies.
Across the country, in peaceful and more violent states alike, violent crimes tend to be concentrated in metropolitan areas. In many states, a single high-crime city can contribute considerably to overall higher levels of violence — these are the most dangerous cities in each state.

7 Countries Near Bankruptcy

Puerto Rico defaulted on its $58 million debt repayment this week for the first time in its history. With its failure to repay creditors, the commonwealth joins the ranks of countries and governments burdened by crippling debt levels and extremely low credit ratings.
Moody’s Investors’ Service rates seven countries Caa1 or worse, several tiers lower than Ba1, which still carries a significant credit risk. These countries are approaching or have narrowly escaped bankruptcy. Ukraine is rated Ca, which is currently the lowest credit rating of any country reviewed by Moody’s.
Click here to see the 7 countries near bankruptcy.
All seven national economies instill relatively little confidence among investors. However, Jamaica’s credit rating was upgraded by Moody’s this year, and Argentina’s and Belize’s credit ratings remained stable. The remaining four countries, on the other hand, were downgraded.
A country’s history of fiscal responsibility, including past defaults, and current compliance with IMF debt repayment plans, are major contributors to Moody’s evaluations.
Extremely high debt levels, which while not always a feature of unhealthy economies, can also contribute to a country’s poor credit rating. The debt of four of the seven countries was equal to more than 75% of GDP. In Jamaica and Greece, debt was well over 100% of GDP.
Political conflicts have also weakened some of these economies, which in turn has introduced more uncertainty and increased risk. Ukraine’s conflict with Russia over its annexation of Crimea, for example, and the resulting U.S. and European sanctions, have contributed to the country’s downgrade in March.
Borrowing funds in the international bond market is often far more costly for countries with poor credit ratings. Investors require greater returns on what they perceive to be riskier investments and charge higher interest rates as a result. For example, a 10-year U.S. Treasury Note has an annual yield of just 2.16%. By contrast, a comparable bond recently issued by Jamaica pays out 6.44% a year. Yields on 10-year Greek government bonds reached 29% in early 2012, just before the country defaulted.
Foreign investment is vital for most countries, particularly developing nations. To promote interest among investors, countries use a range of strategies. Often, these countries issue bonds in other, safer currencies in order to be more competitive in the international bond markets. Nations such as Argentina, Jamaica, Belize, and Ukraine have all issued bonds in other nations’ currencies. Inflation rates for common currencies such as the dollar, yen, and euro are typically far lower and more stable than the currencies of the issuing countries. This means that investors do not need to worry as much about their investment losing value.
Based on credit ratings provided by Moody’s Investors Service, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the seven countries with credit ratings of Caa1 or worse. A rating of this level indicates considerable credit risk. Because many of these nations have significant debt in other currencies or have otherwise weak currencies, we used foreign currency ratings and outlooks for these nations. Figures on GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, population and debt levels are estimates for 2014 from the IMF’s World Economic Outlook.
These are the 7 countries at risk of default.

The Largest Company in Every State

In the 2018 fiscal year, the 500 largest companies in the United States generated $13.7 trillion in revenue — approximately two-thirds of the U.S. GDP.
While many of the largest U.S. companies are headquartered in America’s major metropolitan areas — about one in five are either in New York, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, or Dallas — a majority of states are home to at least one Fortune 500 corporation. Factors such as the availability of talented workers, cost of living, and natural resources can affect where a company chooses to locate its headquarters and help explain the geographic distribution of the largest U.S. companies today.
Based on SEC filings and estimates of private company figures, 24/7 Wall St. determined the largest company in every state. This list is based on publicly available information, and not all companies publish revenue figures.
The largest company in a given state is often in an industry important to that state. In Nevada, for example, the largest company is the luxury casino and hotel line Las Vegas Sands Corporation.
Similarly, Amazon — the most valuable brand in the world today — is the largest company in Washington state, which is home to the headquarters of other major tech companies such as Microsoft.
In some of the more rural parts of the country, where Fortune 500 companies are less common, the largest companies are in the energy and utilities sectors. In New Mexico, West Virginia, North Dakota, and Hawaii, the largest company is a utility, and in Alaska, Utah, and Wyoming, the largest company is in the energy sector.
In some cases, the revenue figure listed is an estimate. We excluded companies from consideration when figures were not available or an estimation could not be made.
Many of the states with the most large companies rank among the states with the best economies, and many of the states without a Fortune 500 company rank among the worst states for doing business.

Urban commuters collectively lost 6.9 billion hours, and 3.1 billion gallons of fuel to traffic delays last year. Excess fuel and lost productivity cost American commuters $160 billion in 2014, up from $114 billion in 2000, and $42 billion in 1982. According to a recent study, the problem is even worse in a handful of large urban areas.
The 2015 Urban Mobility Scorecard, a report released jointly by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, and Inrix, a traffic data collection company, identified the Washington D.C. urban area as the most congested city in the country. The Los Angeles urban area, where the typical auto commuter spends an additional 80 hours behind the wheel in traffic, was a close second. Some of the country’s largest urban areas are more congested than ever.
Click here to see the cities with the worst traffic.
After a long recovery, jobs that had disappeared with the recession are returning to American cities. The workforce has largely returned to full strength, and the nation’s aging transportation infrastructure is not keeping up with demands of urban populations. In 1982, commuters in major urban areas lost an average of 18 hours annually due to traffic delays. By 2014, the number had more than doubled to an average of 42 hours.
Based on data from 1982 through last year, the researchers argued that “short of major economic problems, congestion will continue to increase if projects, programs, and policies are not expanded.”
Traffic congestion around major American cities also brings heavy costs. In contrast with the nationwide average yearly loss of $960 per auto commuter from delays, the congestion cost in all of the 10 most congested cities exceeded $1,300 per commuter. In the D.C. area, it was $1,834, nearly double the national average.
According to researchers at INRIX, the financial burden from traffic congestion is essentially a type of tax, and does not even fully capture the true cost of traffic delays. “The negative effect of uncertain or longer delivery times, missed meetings, business relocations and other congestion-related effects are not included.”
Generally speaking, the larger the city the worse the congestion. Eight of the 10 most congested urban areas have a population of over 3 million, including the areas home to the nation’s three largest cities, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Though the cities with the worst congestion are spread throughout the country, four are located in California.
Many urban commuters avoid suffering through long waits in traffic by resorting alternative modes of transportation. In New York City for example, nearly a third of all commuters use public transportation, a larger share than those who drive, and a higher percentage than in any other U.S. city. Not every city has a reliable public alternative to driving, however. In Houston, Texas, the eighth most congested city and one notable for its sprawl, less than 3% of commuters use public transit.
While commuters in the D.C. area suffered longer than anyone else, the effects of congestion can be measured in many ways. The study uses a measure called the Travel Time Index, or TTI, which is the “ratio of travel time in the peak period to travel time at free-flow conditions.” For example, an index of 1.30 indicates that what would be a 20-minute drive without traffic would take 26 minutes in a peak period.
To determine the 10 most congested cities in America, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the highest estimated number of hours lost per auto commuter annually to traffic delays in 470 U.S. urban areas. Data was provided by the 2015 Urban Mobility Scorecard, a report released jointly by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, and Inrix. Total hours lost to delays, total and per auto commuter excess fuel consumed, as well as estimated costs associated with congestion also came from the Scorecard. Average gas prices for the year, which were a component of the cost calculation, also came from Inrix and Texas A&M. The researchers also created three indices measuring the degree to which commuters needed to plan ahead for traffic delays (Freeway Planning Index), how long driving takes during peak hours versus normal hours (Freeway Travel Time Index), and the estimated level of stress during rush hours (Freeway Commuter Stress Index). used the estimated time lost to traffic delays annually per driver in major urban areas across the country. We also reviewed average commute times, the percentage of workers who used public transit, and the percentage of workers who walked to work from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2013 American Community Survey.
These are the cities with the worst traffic.

46. Virginia
> Highest paid employee: Frank Beamer
> Position: College football coach
> Salary: $2.42 million
With an annual salary of nearly $2.5 million, Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer is the highest-paid employee in the state. While coaches come and go at many institutions with prominent athletic departments, Beamer has led the Hokies since 1987.
47. Washington
> Highest paid employee: Mike Leach
> Position: College football coach
> Salary: $2.75 million
Washington State University football coach Mike Leach earned $2.75 million last year, making him the highest paid state employee in the state. Though his salary far exceeded the governor’s annual pay of $171,898, Leach’s salary comes exclusively from ticket sales and television revenue, not from taxes.
48. West Virginia
> Highest paid employee: Bob Huggins
> Position: College basketball coach
> Salary: $3.25 million
West Virginia University’s football coach, Dan Holgorsen, would be the highest-paid public employee in most states, earning roughly $3 million last year. However, the school’s basketball coach, Bob Huggins, earns approximately $250,000 more than Holgorsen per year. In comparison, West Virginia’s state legislators earn $20,000 per year.
49. Wisconsin
> Highest paid employee: Bo Ryan
> Position: College basketball coach
> Salary: $2.75 million
Bo Ryan, who has been the head coach of the University of Wisconsin Badgers basketball team since 2001, is Wisconsin’s highest-paid government employee. He is among the top 10 highest paid college basketball coaches in the country. He is currently considering retirement, which would shift the title of highest-paid employee to Wisconsin’s head football coach, Paul Chryst, who made $1.57 million in 2014.

36. Oklahoma
> Highest paid employee: Bob Stoops
> Position: College football coach
> Salary: $5.25 million
Oklahoma’s head coach Bob Stoops received a raise last summer after his team beat the Alabama Crimson Tide — coached by Nick Saban, the highest-paid state employee — in an upset victory in the Sugar Bowl. Stoops is set to earn $5.25 million this season, up from the $5 million in his previous contract.
37. Oregon
> Highest paid employee: Mark Helfrich
> Position: College football coach
> Salary: $3.15 million
Mark Helfrich coached the Oregon Ducks all the way to the national championship last season. Shortly after the season ended, the University of Oregon announced signing Helfrich to a new five-year, $17.5 million contract. With this new contract, Helfrich will earn $3.15 million in 2015, more than any other state employee.
38. Pennsylvania
> Highest paid employee: James Franklin
> Position: College football coach
> Salary: $4.10 million
Though Franklin has only lead the Pennsylvania State football team since January 2014, his annual pay exceeds $4 million, making him Pennsylvania’s highest-paid state employee. Though his salary of $187,256 is dwarfed by Franklin, Governor Tom Wolf announced last year that he would contribute 100% of his taxpayer funded salary to charity.
39. Rhode Island
> Highest paid employee: Dan Hurley
> Position: College basketball coach
> Salary: $627,500
University of Rhode Island head basketball coach Dan Hurley earns $627,500 annually, more than any Rhode Island state employee. At the moment, he is one of the four lowest paid coaches in his conference. However, this is slated to change in 2017, when he will be making $1 million per season as guaranteed by his new contract.
40. South Carolina
> Highest paid employee: Steve Spurrier
> Position: College Football Coach
> Salary: $4.00 million
The University of South Carolina’s football program’s head coach, Steve Spurrier, is the Palmetto State’s highest-paid public employee, earning $4 million a year. The coach, who has won 72.5% of the games he has coached, is entering his 11th season as head coach at USC. In contrast to Spurrier’s salary, the highest-paid South Carolina employee who is not collegiate sports personnel is Martin Morad, a professor at USC’s School of Medicine.

10 States Burning the Most Coal

President Barack Obama released in August the final version of his climate policy and energy use program, the Clean Power Plan. The plan, if it passes, will allow the EPA to set carbon emissions targets for every state in the country. States will be required to meet the targets by changing energy sources.
One of the industries that will likely be affected the most is coal production as well as the plants using coal as an energy source. Burning coal produces a variety of unhealthy particulates and roughly twice as much carbon dioxide as natural gas. Some states generate tremendous amounts of energy from coal and use coal as a main power source. In West Virginia, all but 4.5% of the state’s electricity comes from fuel. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 10 states burning the most coal in the country.
In a conversation with 24/7 Wall St., Christopher Namovicz , U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) alternative energy analyst, explained that with newly discovered reserves and the advent of hydrofracturing technology, there has been a significant increase in the country’s reliance on natural gas as an energy source. Last year, 27.4% of the nation’s electricity came from natural gas-burning power plants, compared to 17.1% in 2001. In addition, the steadily increased use of solar, wind, and other alternative energy sources, has meant a decline in coal usage. In 2004, the country generated nearly 2 million gigawatt-hours (GWh) from coal. Last year, the country generated 1.58 million GWh from the fossil fuel.

This shift is true of some of the largest coal-burning states as well. In Pennsylvania, for example, the share of electricity generation from coal out of total production fell by 20 percentage points from 2001 to 2014. Natural gas, meanwhile, jumped from just 1.5% of total production to 23.7% over the same period.
The presence of natural resources in a given area often dictates their use within a state. Most of the states that rely heavily on coal as a means of energy are also coal rich. West Virginia and Kentucky, the two most coal-reliant states in the country, are first and third, respectively, in coal mining.
This is not always the case, however. Some heavy coal-burning states such as Florida and Michigan mine no coal at all within the state but import it by rail, truck, and waterway from states such as West Virginia and Kentucky.
Not all of the states that burn the most coal are as reliant on it as others. Texas and Pennsylvania, for example, generate the first and sixth amounts of electricity from coal, but it amounts to just 36.1% of Pennsylvania’s total energy generation and to barely one-third of Texas’s. These states produce massive amounts of energy. Texas, for example, generates roughly one-fifth of all the electricity in the country each year, and coal is only a part of it.
In order to determine the states that burn the most coal each year, we consulted the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s state energy profiles, which include state electricity generation by source from 2001 through 2014 for state use. The EIA also included total energy production, which also measure energy that may not be used within a state but in other places. The EIA also included the proportion of energy-producing natural resources such as coal that are shipped to other states, as well as electricity consumption per capita. All values used are for the latest available year.
These are 10 states burning the most coal.

10 States Burning the Most Coal
Michael B. Sauter

10. Florida
> 2014 coal electricity generation: 52,046 GWh
> 2014 total electricity generation: 231,062 GWh
> Coal as pct. total electricity generation: 22.5%
> Natural Gas as pct. electricity generation: 61.0%
Florida — the third-largest consumer of energy in the country — generated more than 52 thousand GWh of coal energy in 2014, 10th most of any state. However, there are no coal mining operations in The Sunshine State. All the coal burned in the state is shipped by barge and rail from other major mining states, primarily Illinois, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Florida is one of the most populous states in the country. So while the state produced the 10th highest amount of energy from coal in the country, this energy accounted for just 22.5% of the state’s electricity generation– well below the share of coal-based electricity generation nationwide of 38.7%. Natural gas is of greater significance in Florida. More than 60% of the state’s energy came from natural gas, the fourth highest share in the country.
9. Michigan
> 2014 coal electricity generation: 53,086 GWh
> 2014 total electricity generation: 105,821 GWh
> Coal as pct. total electricity generation: 50.2%
> Natural Gas as pct. electricity generation: 10.9%
Roughly 50% of electricity in Michigan was generated by burning coal, a somewhat lower share from just a few years ago. In 2009, roughly two-thirds of electricity generated in the state was from coal. The major cause for this shift has been an increase in the state’s nuclear power output. State reactors generated more than 31 thousand GWh in 2014, or nearly 30% of the state’s electricity production, up from 21,000 GWh, or 21.6%, five years prior. While there was once a substantial coal mining operation in the state, there are no active mines currently. Michigan receives its coal by rail primarily from Kentucky and West Virginia. .
8. Missouri
> 2014 coal electricity generation: 72,746 GWh
> 2014 total electricity generation: 88,074 GWh
> Coal as pct. total electricity generation: 82.6%
> Natural Gas as pct. electricity generation: 4.5%
Nearly 83% of Missouri’s electricity was generated by coal last year. Plants burned more than 43 million tons of coal to produce nearly 73,000 GWh. Though Missouri is itself a coal producing state, only 1% of the coal it consumes is also mined there. Most of the coal burned in Missouri is shipped by freight train from Wyoming. The next biggest contributor to the state’s energy mix was nuclear power, which generated slightly more than 10% of Missouri’s energy in 2014. While many states are shifting to an increased reliance on natural gas, Missouri is not. The 3,952 GWh generated from natural gas in the state last year was only slightly higher than the 3,874 GWh generated in 2001. Missouri’s lack of any significant natural gas reserves may partially explain its lopsided energy mix.

America’s Richest and Poorest States

Median household income in the United States hit an all time high in 2018, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. The recently-released data shows that the typical American household now has an income of $61,937 a year, up slightly from $61,423 in 2017. Over the same period, the poverty rate nationwide also improved, from 13.4% to 13.1%.
The slight uptick in median household income at the national level does not paint a complete picture, however. Only 14 states reported a statistically significant increase in median household income — and in one state, Maine, the median household income actually declined by a statistically significant amount. For context, there was a statistically significant increase in median household income in nearly half of all states between 2016 and 2017.
Income levels vary widely across the country. In some states, the majority of households live on less than $50,000 a year. Meanwhile, in a number of other states, most households earn at least $75,000 annually. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed recently released 2018 ACS median household income data identify America’s richest and poorest states. The share of adults 25 and over with a bachelor’s degree and the share of the population living below the poverty line also came from the 2018 ACS. We also reviewed annual average unemployment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for 2018 and 2017.
The national increase in median household income is likely partially attributable to the strengthening job market. Nationwide, the unemployment rate fell from 4.4% in 2017 to 3.9% in 2018. The average annual unemployment rate climbed in only three states — Oregon, West Virginia, and Colorado — between 2017 and 2018. While lower-income states do not necessarily have weaker job markets than many of the wealthier states, the availability of jobs can have a considerable impact on median income in a given area. Here is a look at the states where it is hardest to find full-time work.
Educational attainment is one of the strongest predictors of income, as workers with more education are more likely to have high-paying, secure jobs. Nationwide, the typical college graduate earns $54,628 a year, more than double the median earnings of $24,530 for those who did not graduate high school.
Not surprisingly, the states with the highest median incomes also tend to be home to a larger share of college-educated adults than the nationwide share of 32.6% — and many of the wealthiest states are also among the best educated. Here is a full list of America’s most and least educated states.

Largest Industry in Each State

Many jobs are common across all U.S. states. Jobs like educators, food service workers, and government employees are necessary to sustain a population regardless of the state. But each state is also unique and has its own history, geography, and demographic makeup — as well as its own industrial makeup, with certain jobs and industries much more common compared to other states.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed the largest industry in each state based on total GDP contribution from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The dominant industries in each state are as distinct as farming, computer manufacturing, oil extraction, and broadcasting.
The health of these industries to a large extent determines the health of the overall state economies. The oil and gas extraction industry, for example, has been on the decline in recent years as oil prices plunged from 2014 to 2016. As the largest industry in Alaska, its decline helps explain why the state is one of the fastest shrinking state economies. Here is a full list of the fastest growing and shrinking state economies.
In the vast majority of states, the real estate sector is the largest contributor to GDP. The sector was excluded from our analysis, as housing is a universal need irrespective of geography and fails to illuminate regional economic differences. Another sector we excluded for similar reasons was the government sector.
The largest industries in each state vary considerably in size. Vermont’s largest industry, ambulatory health care services, generated $1.5 billion in 2017. Meanwhile, Texas’s oil and gas extraction sector generated $197.5 billion in 2017 — more than the entire GDP of Montana, Vermont, Wyoming, and South Dakota combined. Texas is home to oil and gas giant Exxon Mobil, the largest company in the state. Not surprisingly, many of the largest companies in each state are in the largest industry. These are the largest companies in each state.

The 10 Most Expensive Cars in America

The ultra-luxury automobile is one of the most conspicuous status symbols. There is no better way for America’s wealthy to flaunt their riches or to feel exclusive than to buy a $300,000 Ferrari or a nearly half-a-million dollar Rolls-Royce.
Many manufacturers offer high-end luxury and performance vehicles, but only a few have the brand name that commands price tags in the hundreds of thousands of dollars or more. The most expensive vehicle selling in the U.S. market is the McLaren P1, which has a price tag of $1,155,000. Based on Kelley Blue Book ’s listing of estimated prices for current model vehicles, these are the most expensive cars sold on the U.S. market.
In an interview with 24/7 Wall St., Kelley Blue Book senior analyst Karl Brauer explained that exclusivity is often what drives up the prices of the most expensive cars. “If it is an extremely limited vehicle and it has an extremely high price, that will draw the interest of people who are looking for limited-edition vehicles that hardly anyone can get. It sounds a little circular, but that’s really what happens.”

These vehicles are indeed among the rarest models in the world. Brauer noted that less than 5,000 units in global production could be considered a limited run. In the case of the 918 Spyder, which has a price tag of nearly $930,000, Porsche issued only 918 copies of the car. McLaren offered a total global production of just 375 P1s.
While dealers of more commonly sold cars will often sell vehicles at a discount to encourage buyers, the ultra-luxury models are in such demand that discounts are off the table. “People at this level of car buying, they’re not looking for a fair purchase price, they’re just looking to buy the car,” Brauer said. “Typically they just pay MSRP and don’t give it a second thought.”
While rarity is clearly an important factor, Brauer cautioned that performance, brand, and material construction also drive up the price of these vehicles. “Those [factors] certainly contribute to the feeling of uniqueness and helping to justify the MSRP that is being asked.” For example, personalization of the car, custom built features and hand-made manufacturing all drive up the costs and allow for astronomical price tags. “It may not be 100%, but all of them, for instance, have hand-made interiors,” Brauer said.
These ultra-luxury models can be separated into two categories — performance and luxury vehicles. Cars such as the McLaren P1, the Lamborghini Aventador, and the Ferrari F12berlinetta are built for speed and handling, meant to mimic the style of racing vehicles.
Others, including the three Rolls-Royce models to make this list — the Phantom, Ghost, and Wraith — are designed to invoke class and style. “The Phantom and the Ghost and Wraith and the Bentley Mulsanne are not slow cars with limited power by any means, they’re extremely powerful, and for their size and weight, they are shockingly quick,” Brauer said. “But they are not by nature performance vehicles like the other cars on the list. They are luxury vehicles.”
To identify the 10 most expensive American cars, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed Kelley Blue Book’s current fair purchase price, which is the site’s estimate for how much an autobuyer should expect to pay for a vehicle based on existing purchase data. We considered only 2015 models that were sold in the United States. In addition, we considered model specifications, which were obtained from manufacturer websites.
These are the most expensive cars in America.

The Chicago Cubs are currently playing the New York Mets for a chance to compete in the World Series. If the team wins this year, as was improbably predicted in the 1989 film “Back to the Future: Part II,” it would bring to an end the longest active championship drought faced by a major U.S. sports franchise. The last time the Chicago Cubs won a World Series was 1908.
While the Cubs’ drought is the longest, several other franchises have been disappointing their fans for decades. In fact, in the four major U.S. sports leagues — baseball, football, hockey, and basketball — 10 teams that have captured a title have gone at least 40 years since they last won it all. These are the professional sports teams with the longest championship droughts.
Click here to see the teams with the longest championship droughts.
This list only reviews teams that have won a championship title at least once before their long drought. There are, however, other decades-old franchises that have never managed to achieve victory at the highest level. There is no question that fans of teams such as the Buffalo Bills — a franchise that made it to the Super Bowl in four consecutive years from 1990 through 1993, losing all four — have waited for a championship win just as long as some of the teams on this list.
Fans of the teams with the longest droughts, however, arguably go through an even worse experience than those teams that have never won a title. The Toronto Maple Leafs won more than a dozen times during the first 50 years of the Stanley Cup playoffs, including multiple back-to-back cups. The New York Knicks were once a force to be reckoned with, dominating the court and becoming NBA champions in 1970 and 1973. As of late, the Knicks and the Leafs have both been among the most underperforming teams in professional sports, and their fanbases, who have come to expect winning at the highest level, are left bitter and frustrated.
Among teams with the longest championship droughts, some seen to be perpetually on the cusp of reclaiming a title. The Philadelphia Flyers, for example, have made it to the playoffs nearly every year since their last win in 1975, but they have been unable to repeat the feat. In other cases, the possibility of ending the the drought seems much less likely. The Miami Dolphins, for example, a team that won three Super Bowl rings, have only been to the playoffs once since 2001.
To identify the teams with the longest playoff droughts, 24/7 Wall St. considered NHL hockey, NBA basketball, MLB baseball, and NFL football teams that have won at least one major championship. Of that group, the 10 teams for which the most time has elapsed since winning again are experiencing the longest championship droughts. To be considered, a franchise needed to have won a championship under the current team name in the current city. Franchise win-loss records, championship wins, and historical player information were obtained from team and league websites, as well as ESPN.com. The total number of listed championship wins for a team are considered only from, and not prior to, the modern era of each league.
These are the 10 teams with the longest championship droughts.

The States With the Most Serial Murder

From the infamous targeting of prostitutes by Jack the Ripper in London during the 1880s to the Beltway sniper attacks in the Washington metro area in 2002, serial killing is not a recent phenomenon nor is it isolated to any single geography. In the United States — the country with by far the most documented cases of serial killing — there have been approximately 2,625 serial killers, who have together killed many more victims.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), serial killers tend to operate in defined geographical areas. Based on the Serial Killer Database, produced through a partnership of Radford University and the Florida Gulf Coast University, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the states with the highest numbers of documented victims of serial killers since 1900, adjusted for population. While the 51 total serial killings in Alaska is not an especially high number compared with the rest of the country, adjusted for historical population levels, the state leads the nation with the most serial killings.
The public’s interest in serial killers far exceeds the actual incidence of serial killing. Serial killers — such as the famously nicknamed Zodiac Killer, Green River Killer, Angel of Death, or Boston Strangler — have garnered a remarkable level of public attention.
Click Here to See the States With the Most Serial Murder
Yet, according to the FBI, serial killings are relatively uncommon occurrences, accounting for less than 1% of all murders in a given year. According to Dr. Michael Aamodt, professor emeritus of psychology at Radford University, there is also disagreement among experts on what constitutes a serial killing. “If you talk to 50 people who do research in this area you’re gonna get 50 different answers about what is and what isn’t a serial killer,” he said.
He added, however, that a serial killing must at the very least include at least two murders committed on separate occasions, often days apart.
Contrary to popular notions, often spurred by the media and Hollywood blockbusters, serial killers do not necessarily fit any particular stereotype. When people think of a serial killer, they may think of a sociopathic evil genius — typically white and typically male. Killers, both fictional and real, such as Hannibal Lecter as portrayed in “Silence of the Lambs” and mathematician serial killer Ted Kaczynski, commonly known as the Unabomber, fit the preconceived profile.
In fact, fewer than half of serial killers since 1900 have been both male and white. Intelligence also varies greatly among serial killers. Based on a sample of 252 serial killers, intelligence quotients (IQs) ranged from as low as 54 to as high as 186. The IQ of a typical serial killer is 86, slightly below average.
Motives also vary among serial killers. While most are portrayed to have gratification from the act of killing itself, nearly one-third of all serial killer victims in the United States since 1900 were murdered for financial gain. The motive in an additional 7.8% of serial murders was identified as anger.
While motives range from one killer to another, data reveals certain patterns in victims across the United States. About 858 people murdered by serial killers were prostitutes. Another 325 serial killings were related to hitchhiking. According to Aamodt, prostitutes and hitchhikers are particularly vulnerable because they are putting themselves in situations with strangers. The most common circumstance surrounding serial murders in the U.S., however is a home invasion. Roughly 1,500 Americans have been killed by a serial killer during a home invasion since 1900.
To identify the 10 states with the most serial killings, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the highest numbers of serial killer victims, adjusted for population, from the Serial Killer Database, produced through a partnership of Radford University and the Florida Gulf Coast University. The database has compiled documented victims of serial killers since 1900 through September of 2014. Characteristics of the victims, including sex, age, and race, as well characteristics of the killers, including motive and decade of activity, also came from the database. To adjust for historical population levels, we calculated the rate of serial murders per 1 million residents for each decade from 1900 through 2010 using the state’s (or territory’s) population at the end of each decade. To calculate the rate of serial killings over the whole period, we averaged each decade’s rate in every state, weighted by population. State populations by decade came from the long-form (or decennial) Census. National populations prior to 1960 did not include Alaska or Hawaii. However, both states were included in national aggregates of serial killings. Thus, for the purposes of calculating a population-adjusted rate of serial killings prior to 1960, the populations of Hawaii and Alaska to the officially reported national populations. We also considered violent crime rates, which came from the FBI’s 2014 Uniform Crime Report.
These are the 10 states with the most serial murder.

Top Grossing Films of All Time

Hollywood has always put a strong emphasis on the “business” side of show business. Movie-making has been largely driven by profit-making decisions, and 2017 was no different. Worldwide box office revenue hit an all-time high of $40 billion last year, despite slightly lower attendance in the United States and Canada. Now more than ever before, the industry depends on a relatively small number of blockbuster films.
It is not uncommon for major studio films to now gross more than $100 million at the domestic box office, with some grossing nearly $1 billion. 2018 has already delivered four major box office winners, including “Black Panther,” which had the most successful opening weekend ever at the domestic box office, grossing nearly $700 million domestically.
24/7 Wall St. has identified the top 100 grossing movies of all time based on domestic box office data provided by movie business site The Numbers. All dollar amounts have been adjusted for inflation to provide a fairer comparison.

The vast majority of top grossing films were released in recent years, with only 13 of the 100 released prior to 2000. The earliest was 1978’s “Superman,” perhaps a sign of the superhero-saturated cinematic future to come.
One-quarter of the 100 top grossing films were released since the beginning of 2015, and of these 25 movies 13 are superhero films. These movies are hugely popular both domestically and worldwide, translating well to international markets thanks to their strong visual elements and easy-to-follow narratives.
In addition to grossing more than ever before, films are also costing more to produce. All but 14 of the top grossing films had production budgets of more than $100 million. Costly wages for talent and unionized labor, expensive movie equipment, and use of expensive new technology contribute to the ever-increasing movie budgets. 2009’s “Avatar” set a record for largest production budget, clocking in at nearly $480 million once adjusted for inflation.
The James Cameron film was a major success and there are already four more motion pictures planned for the Avatar series, the next of which is slated for a 2020 release.
When spending such extravagant amounts of money, studios often prefer to deliver a proven product rather than take major risks. Therefore, the list of top grossing films includes many franchise movies in series such as Star Wars, Twilight, The Hunger Games, The Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Animated children’s films – including multiple motion pictures from both the Toy Story and Finding Nemo franchises – also do very well.

The Most Dangerous States in America

Violence in the United States has steadily declined for several decades. While the violent crime rate has fallen considerably — from 685 incidents reported per 100,000 Americans in 1995 to the current rate of 383 incidents per 100,000 — the national violent crime rate rose 3.0% last year.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed violent crime rates in each state from data collected through the FBI’s 2015 Uniform Crime Report Program. Violent crime includes all offenses involving force or threat of force and are broken into four categories: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. These crimes are more common in some states than in others.
Alaska is the most dangerous state in the country with a violent crime rate of 730 incidents per 100,000 state residents.

In an interview with 24/7 Wall St., Nancy G. La Vigne, director of the Justice Policy Center at public policy research organization Urban Institute, said, “crime clusters not just within major metropolitan areas but even within cities.” For this reason, La Vigne noted, it is very difficult to draw conclusions from statewide trends alone.
Violent crime is considerably more common in urban centers than in rural regions. While it is not always the case, violent crime rates across the 10 states on this list can be largely attributed to high crime levels in the states’ cities. Of the dozens of cities tracked by the FBI in the nation’s most dangerous states, only a handful report crime rates lower than the national rate. Notably, three cities in Missouri — St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield — as well as Memphis, Tennessee; Little Rock, Arkansas; and Anchorage, Alaska all reported violent crime rates greater than 1,000 incidents per 100,000 people.
Poverty and lack of job opportunity in communities can lead to crime at the local level, and the states with the highest violent crime rates tend to also have worse social and economic conditions than safer states. The poverty rate meets or exceeds the national rate of 14.7% in eight of the 10 states with the highest violent crime rates. Similarly, the annual unemployment rate is greater than the national 2015 rate of 5.3% in seven of the 10 states.
While the relationship is somewhat tenuous and complicated, there appears to be a connection between socioeconomic factors and crime levels. As La Vigne said, “People who engage in criminal behavior often may do so because of an absence of opportunity.”
Local factors are perhaps better drivers and predictors of violence. By seeking to address some of the roots of crime, state policies can help reduce a state’s crime levels. La Vigne noted sets of reforms that focus on reducing recidivism as one example of policies that can improve public safety. According to a federally funded 2014 study by the Council of State Governments Justice Center, “Reducing Recidivism: States Deliver Results,” some states have had success lowering recidivism with state-level policies.
The violent crime rate increased in all of the nation’s most dangerous states. In seven of the 10 states, the violent crime rate increased faster than the nationwide uptick of 3.0% between 2014 and 2015. In Alaska, Missouri, and Alabama, the increase exceeded 10%.
To identify the 10 most dangerous states, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the number of violent crimes reported per 100,000 people (the violent crime rate) in each state from the FBI’s 2015 Uniform Crime Report. The total number and rates of murder, nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, which are included in the violent crime rate, as well as burglaries, larceny, motor vehicle theft, and arson — all classified as property crime — also came from the FBI’s report. We considered these data for each year from 2011 through 2015. Annual unemployment rates for 2015 came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Median household income, poverty rates, the percentage of adults with at least a bachelor’s degree, population, and the percentage of adults with at least a high school diploma came from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2015 American Community Survey.
These are the most dangerous states in America.

States Paying the Highest (and Lowest) Taxes

During the 2012 tax season, Americans paid an average of roughly $1 for every $10 they earned in state and local taxes — on top of taxes paid to the federal government. This is part of Americans’ total tax burden, according to a report by the Tax Foundation. The state and local tax burden was as low as 6.5% in Alaska and as high as 12.7% in New York.
Generally, tax burdens were highest on the East Coast, while residents of Midwestern and Southern states faced relatively low tax burdens. Residents of New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey paid more than 12% of their income in state and local taxes alone, the most in the nation. Alaska residents, on the other hand, paid less than 7% of their income, the only state where this was the case.
Nicole Kaeding, economist at the Tax Foundation and co-author of the State-Local Tax Burden Rankings report, noted in an email that state and local tax burdens tend to change very little year to year. However, “as the nation continues to rebound from the Great Recession, state personal income [has] increased at a faster rate than state tax collections,” Kaeding said.
Click here to see the states paying the highest (and lowest) taxes.
For Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York the high tax burden is due almost entirely to high tax rates, particularly on income earned and in the form of business taxes. Individual income tax collections in these three states were in the top 10 nationwide. The average annual collection from income tax in Connecticut and New York was $2,174 and $2,051 per capita, the two highest in the country and the only states where per capita income tax collections exceeded $2,000.
Residents of states with the highest tax burdens also tend to pay large amounts of taxes to other high-tax states. For example, a relatively large share of Connecticut and New Jersey workers are employed in New York City, where residents pay some of the nation’s highest state and city income taxes. In the Tax Foundation’s model, taxes paid in this way are counted as tax burden of the state’s residents, not where they are employed.
In addition, “these states have residents with high levels of capital gains, compared to other states,” Kaeding said. “This results in their residents paying a higher share of other states’ business taxes.”
On the other end of the spectrum, a similar exchange occurs. States with low tax burdens benefit from collecting taxes from out-of-state residents. Kaeding gave Alaska as an example, where roughly 80% of taxes collected come from severance taxes on oil and natural gas levied on residents of other states.
In the Tax Foundation’s report, co-written by Kaeding, “The burden of Alaskan oil taxes does not fall predominantly on Alaska residents. Ignoring this fact and comparing Alaskan tax collections directly to Alaskan income makes the tax burden of Alaska residents look much higher than it actually is.”
Many of the states with low tax burdens benefit from having taxable resources such as oil in addition to taxes on incomes, property, and residents’ spending. In the case of Nevada, gaming is a major source of revenue. In the case of states such as Wyoming and Alaska, severance taxes — charged on businesses producing oil and natural gas — have historically been a large source of revenue.
Such revenue sources also tend to reflect the types of taxes levied in each state, which for Kaeding reflects the amount of taxes the state is able to collect from out of state residents. For example, “Florida collects a large amount of revenue via taxes on tourists, such as sales taxes on hotels, food, and rental cars.”
Generally, states with wealthier residents tend to collect more in taxes. Eight out of the 10 states with the highest tax burdens had a per capita income greater than the national average of $44,481. The three states with the highest tax burdens — Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York — had among the five highest per capita incomes.
To identify the states with the highest and lowest tax burdens, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed state and local tax burdens as a share of state residents’ income in fiscal 2012 provided by the Tax Foundation. Property, income, general sales, and excise tax rates and collections per capita also came from the Tax Foundation. Taxes paid by a given state’s residents to other state governments was computed by the Tax Foundation as part of its State-Local Tax Burden Rankings FY 2012 report. Combined state and local sales tax rate, average effective property tax rates, and collections from income tax per capita also came from the Tax Foundation but are for fiscal 2013. Federal taxes are not included in any of the estimates.
These are the states paying the highest (and lowest) taxes.

The Most Democratic County in Every State
Thomas C. Frohlich, Alexander Kent

Last Updated: January 13, 2020 2:39 am
Next month, the United States will finally elect its next president after nearly two years of campaigning, fundraising, scandals, and debates.
The Democratic party has never been perfectly unified. In this year’s Democratic primary, disagreements among registered Democrats seemed especially acute. Approximately 12 million Americans voted for former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, versus the 15.8 million who voted for nominee Hillary Clinton. Some portion of voters who supported Sanders in the primary will likely either not vote, or cast a ballot for a third-party candidate.
Yet, the country’s two-party political system is so structurally entrenched that the majority of states that went for Democratic candidate Barack Obama in 2012 appear likely to go for Clinton this time as well. While the political platform of a party and the candidates within that party can change over time, it seems that a portion of the population will always vote Republican or Democrat no matter who is running for president.

Click here to see the most Republican county in every state.
Based on voting data compiled by political news organization Politico and a review of current and historical representation in the U.S. Congress, 24/7 Wall St. created an index to measure the political leanings of county residents. The index is based on the political party of the county’s elected representatives to the Senate and House of Representatives through the last five election cycles, as well as the results of the 2012 presidential election. Prince George’s County in Maryland is not just the bluest county in the state, but also in the nation.
Even in the most conservative states, there is at least one county that has strong Democratic leanings. In Alabama, 61% of total voters opted for Republican candidate Mitt Romney in the 2012 elections, one of the highest shares the losing the candidate received of any state. Yet, in Greene County, nearly 85% of voters cast ballots for Obama. While the state has had Republican representation in the Senate for years, Greene County’s congresswoman, Terri Sewell of Alabama’s 7th district, is a Democrat. Sewell’s predecessor, Artur Davis, is also a Democrat.
While both those counties lean heavily Democratic and the reddest states each tend to have low incomes, adults in the blue counties tend to have higher educational attainment rates compared to the reddest counties. In 33 states, adults in the most Democratic county had a higher bachelor’s attainment rate than those in the most conservative-leaning state.
Race clearly bears a strong relationship to political affiliation in these counties. In only three of the reddest counties, a lower share of residents identify as white than the national share of 63% of Americans who identify as white. On the other hand, 28 of the bluest counties have smaller shares of white populations compared to the national average composition.

States With the Highest and Lowest Property Taxes
Samuel Stebbins, Michael B. Sauter

Last Updated: March 19, 2020 4:25 pm
Property tax regularly ranks among the least popular forms of taxation in the United States. Though property taxes can be set by local authorities such as cities, counties, and school boards, states often establish parameters in order to keep tax rates somewhat uniform. Each state, however, establishes different parameters, and as a result, what homeowners end up paying out of pocket can vary considerably, depending on the state they are in.
Using data from tax policy research organization the Tax Foundation, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed total annual property tax collections as a share of the total value of owner-occupied housing units at the state level to identify the states with the highest (and lowest) property taxes.
It is important to note that a low property tax rate does not necessarily mean low tax collections overall in a state. State and local governments need to meet their financial obligations one way or another, and a low effective property tax rate can often mean that other tax rates, like sales or income taxes, might be higher. These are the states where Americans are paying the most in taxes.
One of the most common ways state and local governments use revenue from property taxes is to fund public school systems. Indeed, states with higher effective property tax rates also tend to have higher than average per pupil education spending. While higher school spending alone does not necessarily improve outcomes, better funded schools can often more easily afford luxuries like smaller class sizes and a broader curriculum. Here is a look at the best public high school in each state.

Primary season is now underway, and in less than a year the United States electorate will vote for the nation’s 45th president. Most of the leading candidates among both Republicans and Democrats represent either a first, or a significant change from the status quo. On the Democratic side, Sen. Bernie Sanders would become the first openly socialist president, while former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would be the first woman to take the highest office. While Donald Trump would certainly not be the first wealthy white man to assume the presidency, he does represent a significant departure from the model of an American commander in chief, given his complete lack of political background. Trump would become the first president without any experience in an elected office since Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the first president to have never been a government employee — either as an elected official or a member of the military. With an estimated net worth of $4.5 billion, he would also become the wealthiest president ever by a considerable margin — even when accounting for inflation.
Presidents in the 19th century were regularly middle class or even poor. They were far wealthier in the 20th century. Each of the last four presidents, including President Barack Obama, is a millionaire.
Current presidential candidates are also far richer than the average American. Though President Bill Clinton likes to point out that he was the poorest president elected in the 20th century, his great success as a public speaker after his term in office has made him among the wealthiest presidents of all time. After resigning from office, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has enjoyed similar success, amassing a fortune from book deals and speaking engagements.

Click here to see the 8 poorest U.S. presidents.
Click here to see the net worth of the American presidents: Washington to Obama
Secretary Clinton received an estimated $14 million advance on her book in 2014, and she has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars for each speaking engagement — figures that rival her husband’s. In all, the couple’s net worth is estimated by 24/7 Wall St. to be $75 million, making it one of the wealthiest presidential estates in history.
In 2010, 24/7 Wall St. published The Net worth of Every American President, from Washington to Obama. Each year, we have updated our figures to reflect the earnings of the still-living presidents. One thing remains clear: these days, it pays to be president, especially after leaving office.
In this year’s updated list, the only currently living president who is counted among of the wealthiest of all time is Clinton.
Obama is not one of the richest presidents. Obama receives a salary of $400,000 a year as president, which, while several times the average U.S. citizen’s annual earnings, does not come close to the salaries of today’s top executive. The president’s annual income has actually dropped steadily since he entered office. In 2009, the president earned $5.5 million. That figure fell to less than $1 million in 2012 and fell again to just over $500,000 in 2013. This is primarily due to a decline in revenue from his prior book deals. 24/7 Wall St. estimates the president’s net worth to be unchanged at $7.5 million.
The net worth of U.S. presidents varies widely. George Washington’s estate was worth more than half a billion in today’s dollars. On the other hand, several presidents went bankrupt.
The fortunes of America’s presidents are often tied to the economy of their time. As the focus of the economy has changed, so has the way the presidents made their money.
It is not surprising then to find that the first few presidents — from Washington’s election to about 75 years later — were large landowners. They generally made money from land, crops, and commodity speculation. This left them also highly vulnerable to poor crop yields, and they could lose most or all of their properties because of a few bad years.
By 1850, the financial history of the presidency entered a new era. Beginning with Millard Fillmore, most presidents were lawyers who spent years in public service. They rarely amassed large fortunes, and their incomes were constituted almost entirely of their salaries.
These American presidents were distinctly middle class, and they often retired without the means to support themselves in any way close to the presidential lifestyle. James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, and James Garfield had modest net worths when they died.
At the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th, there was another significant change in the economy. Large, professionally organized corporations in the oil, mining, financial, and railroad sectors allowed individuals to amass large fortunes.
John F. Kennedy was wealthy because of the financial empire built by Joseph Kennedy. Herbert Hoover made millions of dollars as the owner of mining companies. Since the early 20th century, the fortunes of many presidents, including Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Kennedy, and both George W. and George H.W. Bush were driven by inherited wealth.
The net worth figures for the 10 wealthiest presidents are in 2010 dollars. Because several of the presidents, particularly in the early 19th century, made and lost huge fortunes in a matter of a few years, the net worth of each president is for the peak time. The exception to the 2010 rule are the presidents who are still living and have more recent earnings. In the case of each president, we have taken into account hard assets such as land, estimated lifetime savings based on work history, inheritance, and homes. We also considered wages earned for services as varied as collector of customs at the Port of New York to royalties on books, as well as ownership of companies and yields from family estates.
This is 24/7 Wall St.’s list of the richest U.S. presidents

The States With the Longest (and Shortest) Life Expectancies
Evan Comen

The average American born in 1960 is expected to live for 69.8 years. Today, the life expectancy of someone born in the United States is 78.9 years. Thanks to advances in medical technology and healthcare spending, longevity in the country continues to rise.
Compared to other advanced economies, however, health in the United States is improving at a relatively slow pace. According to the the OECD’s Health at a Glance Report, while life expectancy in the United States has increased by nine years since 1960, average life expectancy across all OECD nations improved by 13 years. The slower pace is somewhat disquieting, especially considering that the United States spends $9,146 per capita in public health annually — the third most in the world and nearly double the average expenditure across OECD nations.
While the nation as a whole is trailing most developed countries, some states are keeping up better than others. In Hawaii, Americans are expected to live 81.3 years, the longest of all states and in line with most of Western Europe. Meanwhile, Mississippi’s 75 year life expectancy is closer to the 74.7 year life expectancy across all Latin American and Caribbean countries.
Click here to see the states with the longest (and shortest) life expectancies.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed data from the OECD Regional Well-Being study to determine the states with the longest and shortest life expectancy at birth.
Within most western economies, differences in life expectancy are heavily tied to behavioral factors. One likely reason for the U.S.’s relatively low life expectancy is its widespread obesity. Obesity can be indicative of unhealthy behavior, and is itself a major risk factor in diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other life-threatening conditions. The obesity rate in the United States is 28.9%, by far the highest of any OECD nation.
The discrepancies in life expectancy between states can also largely be explained by obesity. In the five states where more than a third of the population is obese, the average life expectancy is no more than 76 years. Likewise, life expectancy in the each of the states with the five lowest obesity rates is 80 years or greater.
The same relationship exists between physical activity and life expectancy. States in which a higher share of residents exercise regularly in their leisure time are much more likely to have a longer average life expectancy.
Socioeconomic status is another significant determinant of a population’s longevity. While not as directly related to health outcomes as obesity or the frequency of physical activity, the wealth of an area’s population tends to reflect its life expectancy. Higher incomes provide for access to better medical care, healthier foods, and more leisure time that can encourage physical activity and ultimately prolong life. Similarly, a higher share of residents living in poverty tends to correspond with a lower life expectancy.
Recent research suggests that the gap in life expectancies between higher and lower income residents is growing. One reason may be the difference in smoking rates between the rich and the poor — the nation’s number one cause of preventable death. While smoking rates have declined nationwide, they’ve declined more among the wealthier population. Nevertheless, no comprehensive explanation for the widening gap exists.
To determine the states with the longest and shortest life expectancies at birth, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed figures from the OECD Regional Well-Being study. Data on obesity and physical inactivity rates came from the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Population estimates, median household income, and poverty data came from the 2014 American Community Survey, produced by the U.S. Census Bureau.

America's 10 Deadliest Diseases

Not including accidental deaths and suicide, the 10 most common causes of death in the United States are diseases. Heart disease and cancer, the two leading causes of death overall in the United States, account for nearly half of the deaths recorded annually — nearly 1.2 million deaths.
To determine the deadliest diseases in the country, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The deadliest diseases in the United States range from heart disease, which caused 611,105 deaths in 2013, to liver disease, which directly resulted in 36,427 deaths.
Heart disease is by far the most common cause of death in the United States. In an interview with 24/7 Wall St., Dr. Baxter Allen, Chief Resident in Neurology at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York Presbyterian Hospital, explained why heart disease is such a common killer. While people who develop other diseases can often live with the disease for years, this is less so the case with heart disease. “There’s only one heart, and if it stops working, then you’re dead,” Allen said. Additionally, the United States is currently in the midst of an obesity epidemic and “obesity is a major risk factor for diabetes, liver disease, and heart disease.”

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Since President Richard Nixon declared war on cancer in 1971, enormous investments have been made in cancer research. The National Cancer Institute alone has spent roughly $4.9 billion on cancer research each year since 2005. Yet, a cure has eluded researchers. According to Allen, age is the greatest risk factor associated with cancer, and “as the population ages, which it is significantly with the baby boomer generation starting to hit their 70s, [cancer cases] are likely to increase dramatically.” According to a report by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, cancer will become the leading cause of death in the United States by 2030.
Many of the most common deadly diseases in the country tend to afflict Americans who share similarly unhealthy behaviors. For example, the connection between smoking and certain types of cancer, heart disease, chronic respiratory illness, and stroke is well established. Alcohol abuse also increases the risk of certain cancers as well as liver disease and cirrhosis. Unhealthy behaviors such as these, Allen said, “are all independent risk factors for decreased life expectancy.”
Even diseases that are commonly understood to be genetically predetermined can have additional behavioral risk factors. Experts believe that roughly one third of Alzheimer’s cases may be preventable through the modification of risk factors such as high blood pressure, physical inactivity, and others.
Many of the deadliest diseases are interconnected, and the occurrence of one can increase the likelihood of another in an individual. For instance, kidney disease, one of the leading causes of death, can be caused by both liver failure and heart disease, themselves among the leading causes of death.
For this reason, the deadliness of certain diseases may be underrepresented by the numbers. According to the CDC’s report, diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death, directly responsible for 75,578 deaths in 2013. According to the American Diabetes Association, it is actually relatively rare for diabetes to be recorded as the direct cause of death on the death certificates of diabetics, suggesting diabetes could be underreported as the cause of death.
“The health industry is trying lots of things to address these killers,” Allen said. While the incidence of cancer, for example, may increase with the aging of the population, constantly improving treatments — the result of ongoing cancer research — may continue to improve death rates in the near future. On the other hand, Allen said, “Without a significant breakthrough, Alzheimer’s disease is going to account for an increasingly large proportion of death as it is estimated to triple in number of affected people by 2050.”
In order to determine the deadliest diseases in the United States, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the total number of deaths attributable to a given disease in 2013 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) annual National Vital Statistics Report, Deaths: Final Data for 2013. Historical death rates per 100,000 from 1999 are age adjusted and also came from the CDC. The report was published on February 16, 2016 and contains figures for the recent period for which data is available.
These are the 10 deadliest diseases in the United States.

Though alcohol is enjoyed responsibly by millions of Americans every day, it is also misused and abused by many — and over consumption can have serious consequences. According the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 18.0% of American adults regularly consume unhealthy amounts of alcohol. In some American cities, excessive drinking rates are higher.
Excessive drinking, according to the CDC, includes binge drinking — which is defined as four or more drinks on a single occasion for women and five or more for men — and heavy drinking, or eight or more drinks per week for women and 15 or more for men.
In the short term, excessive drinking can increase the likelihood of violence, risky sexual behavior, alcohol poisoning, and injuries. The potential long term effects of excessive alcohol consumption include depression, anxiety, alcohol dependence, and social problems. Long-term excessive drinking can also lead to chronic diseases, including certain cancers, liver disease, and heart disease.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed the adult excessive drinking rate in 381 U.S. metro areas to identify the 20 drunkest (and 20 driest) cities. The cities with the highest excessive drinking rates are concentrated in the Midwest, while those with the lowest rates are mostly in southern states.

7 States With the Most Dangerous Weather

Nearly 3,000 people have been killed in the United States in the last five years because of weather-related events and conditions. Extreme weather events, including tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and extreme temperatures can all be deadly.
The number of Americans killed by weather events and conditions varies widely from state to state. Geography, climate, and even economic status play a role in a particular state’s weather-related death rate. In order to determine the states with the most dangerous weather, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed state by state fatalities attributable to weather from 2011 through 2015 from the National Weather Service. Each of the states with the most dangerous weather had a five-year fatality rate that was more than double the national rate during that period.
Extreme heat is the most common cause of weather-related fatalities in the United States. Since 1988, there have been 3,806 heat-related fatalities compared to 830 deaths attributable to extreme cold. Recent trends suggest that the problem is likely to get worse. Four of the last five years rank as the hottest on record.
Click here to see the 7 states with the most dangerous weather.
Many of the states with the most dangerous weather, including Alabama, the state with the highest weather fatality rate, have high fatality figures due to a devastating series of tornadoes that tore across the Southeastern U.S. in late April 2011. Hundreds of lives were lost to more than 200 tornadoes, which wreaked havoc over a four-day period. Oklahoma, the state with sixth highest weather-related fatality rate, lies nearly in the center of Tornado Alley, an area notorious for the regularity with which tornadoes touch down.
In addition to extreme temperatures and powerful storms, flooding is one of the deadliest weather conditions in the United States. Heavy spring time rains, when combined with melting snowpacks, can lead to catastrophic flooding, particularly in areas along the Mississippi River. In fact, three of the seven states with the most dangerous weather are situated along the banks of the Mississippi. An average of more than 80 deaths are attributable to flooding every year in the United States.
While geography and climate play a central role in dangerous weather, poverty amplifies its negative effects. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, weather-related death rates are “2 to 7 times as high in low-income counties as in high-income counties.” This is likely because those living below the poverty line to not have the means to prepare for, or adapt to, extreme weather events and conditions, according to the CDC. It is perhaps no coincidence that the poverty rate is as high or higher than the 15.6% national rate in each of the states on this list except for Wyoming.
To determine the states with the most dangerous weather, 24/7 Wall St. compiled state by state fatality rates attributable to weather from the National Weather Service, a component of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. We totalled all weather-related deaths from 2011 through 2015 and adjusted the five-year total for every 1 million state residents. The five-year period was used because weather fatalities are susceptible to large year-over-year fluctuations. The total value of damage caused by weather events also came from the NWS. Population and poverty figures came from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 5 year American Community Survey.
These are the states with the most dangerous weather.

Poorest Town in Every State

Home to just 4% of the world’s population and nearly 25% of global economic activity, the United States is one of the richest countries in the world.
Despite the concentration of wealth in the United States, parts of the country have been left behind. In nearly every state, there is at least one town where financial hardship and poverty are the defining characteristics.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed the median annual household income in over 2,600 cities, towns, villages, and Census designated places to identify the poorest town in every state. We only considered areas with populations between 1,000 and 25,000. To ensure accuracy, we only considered places where the margin of error for population and median household income was less than 10%.
Even in wealthy states like Maryland and New Jersey, there are towns where about half of all households earn $35,000 a year or less. In the majority of towns on this list, the share of residents living below the poverty line is more than double the share across the state as a whole. In many of these places, low incomes have forced large segments of the population to depend on government assistance. In the majority of the 50 towns on this list, at least one in every five residents receive SNAP benefits — formerly known as food stamps.
All data on income, education, poverty, and demographics are five-year estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2017 American Community Survey.

While the U.S. housing market has largely recovered from the effects of the subprime mortgage crisis, homes are being built at barely half the rate they were in the early 2000s. The history of the U.S. housing market has been one marked by periods of rampant building and of lulls, even as the population has expanded relatively steadily.
U.S. housing starts in February 2019 clocked in at a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 1.2 million. The rate is less than half the 2.5 million housing starts in 1974 — a time when there were 100 million fewer people living in the country.
The American housing market has not only been through substantial fluctuations in the number of housing units built, but also by changes in the size of homes. Changing family size, rising incomes, and suburban expansion have all led to changes in the size of the typical single-family home.
To determine how the size of homes has changed over the past century, 24/7 Wall St. determined the size of a newly constructed single-family house between 1920 and 2017 by reviewing official U.S. Census figures and providing our own estimates for years the Census did not release numbers.

Each year, roughly 40 million Americans, or about 14% of the U.S. population, move at least once. Much of that movement includes younger people relocating within cities, but it is trends of Americans moving to warmer climates, more affordable areas, and better job opportunities that have largely determined migration patterns in recent decades.
Because of those long-term patterns, as well as the recent period of economic recovery, cities in some parts of the country have lost tens of thousands of residents.
To find the 50 U.S. metropolitan areas that have had the largest net decline in population as a result of migration between 2010 and 2017, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed population figures from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program.
The 50 cities where the most people are moving away from can primarily be found in the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast, particularly in states like Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and New York. Among the cities where people are leaving in droves are places such as Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, New York, and Los Angeles.
William Frey, demographer at the Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy research group, explained that these cities that have been losing thousands of residents due to migration are part of the long-term trend of movement from the Northeast and the Midwest to warmer climates, a trend that has increased in recent years.
“The story of the broader migration pattern in the U.S. is from Snow Belt to Sun Belt,” Frey said. “That migration has slowed a little bit in the early part of the decade, when we were still dealing with the aftermath of the recession, but it’s coming back.”

Hurricane season can be one of the most nerve-wracking times of the year for Americans living on the coast. The period runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, although severe storms can also occur outside of those dates. While the number of storms that reach U.S. shores varies from year to year — as does their intensity — it only takes one storm to potentially damage hundreds of thousands of homes and cause tens of billions of dollars in damage.
The three elements of a hurricane — wind, precipitation, and storm surge — are also what makes them so wildly destructive. Storm surge, or the water that is pushed on shore by a hurricane, can be particularly destructive. Flooding caused by storm surge is often the most damaging aspect of a hurricane to infrastructure and people’s homes. The extent of such damage can be seen in these before and after pictures of the worst hurricanes in American history.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed the number of homes at risk and the estimated construction costs that would be required to replace these homes should they be damaged for U.S. metro areas along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from data analytics company CoreLogic. The 15 cities vulnerable to the greatest damage are listed in order of the number of homes at risk of destruction from flooding due to storm surge.
Many of the metropolitan areas where hurricanes would cause the most damage have been hit by recent hurricanes such as last year’s Florence and Michael. Others have been fortunate to avoid seriously damaging storms for a number of years. Charleston, South Carolina, for example, has not seen a major hurricane since Hugo hit in 1989. That storm destroyed 26,000 homes in the region. Should a storm of that magnitude hit Charleston today, far more homes could be destroyed. Some storms have been even more destructive than Hugo. These are the most powerful hurricanes of all time.
The cyclical threat of hurricanes presents itself every year. And as the populations of many of these metro areas grow, and as the coastlines continue to be built and developed, the risk of damage due to storm surge increases.

Even before summer 2016 has officially begun, the nation faced a deadly heat wave. Temperatures hit triple digits across the Southwestern United States in late June, going as high as 120°F in parts of California. At least four deaths so far have been attributed to the heat.
According to a report released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2016 is on pace to become the hottest year on record. Four of the last six years have ranked as the hottest on record.
While temperatures are increasing across the planet, places where the climate is already hot are now reporting scorching temperatures for much of the year. This is no different in the United States, where cities located in hotter climates report even hotter temperatures year-round. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed data from NOAA on U.S. cities that report the most days a year with exceptionally high temperatures.
Click here to see the 30 hottest cities in America.
The hottest cities in the country are located in states across the South, West and the Southwest. However, no state has more of the country’s hottest cities than Texas. Texas is the second largest and second most populous state, which largely explains its outsized presence on the list.
Just as much of the world seems to be suffering through record heat year after year, so do many of the hottest U.S. cities. 2015 was the hottest on record for five of the cities on the list with available data. For another six cities, 2015 was among the five hottest years on record. Though not every city had a record breaking year, for each of the hottest cities, the average temperature in 2015 was hotter than the mean annual temperature between 1981 and 2010.
While all of the cities on the list had an exceptionally high number of days where temperatures reached at least 90°F, temperatures in these areas are still subject to fluctuation in different parts of the year. Every city on the list has an average of at least one day a year where temperatures hit the freezing mark, and 24 of the hottest cities have at least 10 such days. In Bishop, California, a city with 91 days of at least 90°F, there are an average of 144 days of temperatures at 32°F or less.
To identify the hottest cities in America, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the average number of days each year that temperatures of 90°F or higher are recorded in 254 U.S. cities. Figures came from NOAA’s “Comparative Climatic Data For the United States Through 2015.” Averages for each city were calculated over varying periods, depending on when the city began keeping records. Other averages, including record temperatures, monthly highs, precipitation data, and days of clear skies, were calculated from a 30 year period between 1981 and 2010 and also came from the NOAA report.
The are the hottest cities in the country.

12 Companies Laying Off the Most Workers
Evan Comen, Samuel Stebbins, Michael B. Sauter

Last Updated: March 20, 2020 12:56 pm
Tech giant Cisco Systems is expected to announce plans to lay off 14,000 employees in the coming weeks, nearly one-fifth of its total headcount, according to technology news site CRN. These layoffs may be the result of the company’s aim to move away from hardware and into wireless security and data centers.
If these layoffs are announced, they would not be the first by a major company this year, nor would they be the largest. According to data compiled by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Wal-Mart has announced the most job cuts so far this year, with plans to lay off a total of 17,500 employees.
In an interview with 24/7 Wall St., Challenger, Gray & Christmas CEO John Challenger explained that the number one cause of layoffs is poor financial performance. “Business drops, profitability drops, and [companies] have to cut costs. They don’t want to get caught with too many people and not enough business to support them.”
Click here to see the 12 companies laying off the most workers.
No industry has announced more job cuts in 2016 than the energy industry. U.S. oil currently trades at less than $50 a barrel, close to one-third of its price in 2008. Falling oil prices have weakened the industry in the U.S., and a number of companies have declared bankruptcy and closed refineries. The energy industry represents two of the four companies cutting the most jobs, with Halliburton and Schlumberger together cutting an estimated 25,000 jobs in 2016.
Layoffs do not always indicate poor financial performance. Many companies laying off employees are restructuring as they adapt to a changing marketplace. Over the past decade, the growing ubiquity of mobile technology and cloud computing has disrupted industries most consumer-facing industries, as well as a large share of the country’s biggest tech companies. The computer and retail industries have announced 49,464 and 43,618 job cuts, respectively this year, the second and third most of any industry.
As Challenger told 24/7 Wall St., “ [Job] cuts in retail are signs of the fundamental change going on in the move to e-commerce.” Online retail sales accounted for 8.1% of total retail sales in the most recent fiscal quarter, roughly double the share seven years ago. As major retailers shift their focus to online sales, many employees at brick-and-mortar stores are at greater risk of losing their jobs. Macy’s is currently laying off three to four workers in each of its 770 stores, and has plans to close 100 locations in early 2017.
The technology industry is also undergoing major changes. Global PC shipments declined by 5.2% in the most recent quarter, the sixth consecutive quarter of decline. Meanwhile, smartphone sales have continued to grow. To keep up with shifting consumer demand, major technology companies are expanding their product lines and restructuring in the process. For example, hard drive manufacturer Seagate Technology recently acquired cloud storage company Dot Hill Systems in an attempt to diversity its business offerings. As part of a plan to restructure around the merger, Seagate recently announced it would be laying off a total of 8,100 employees by the end of 2017.
Challenger, Gray & Christmas provided 24/7 Wall St. with all job cut announcements affecting at least 1,000 positions in 2016. 24/7 Wall St. combined the planned cuts by company to identify the companies that announced the most job cuts so far this year. Only announcements made in 2016 were considered, and layoffs were only counted if they occurred at least partially in 2016, or are expected to occur in the future. Job cuts announced in 2016 but which only included positions cut in 2015 were excluded from the list. Job cuts did not need to be entirely within the United States. Total headcounts are from each company’s most recent annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Next 14 States to Legalize Marijuana

In 2013, only 7% of American adults said they were marijuana users. Today, less than three years later, usage rates have nearly doubled, as 13% of U.S. adults say they smoke pot — according to a recent Gallup poll. Despite what appears to be growing acceptance of the drug, the DEA recently reiterated marijuana’s classification as a Schedule 1 substance, in the same category as heroin, LSD, and ecstasy.
Reflecting the increasing acceptance of the drug, and in direct conflict with the DEA’s conclusion, some states have dialed down their marijuana laws in recent years. Prohibited across the country less than five years ago, marijuana is now legal and regulated in Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and the District of Columbia. While it may be too early to gauge the social and economic impact of full scale legalization in these places, more than a dozen other states could foreseeably repeal marijuana prohibition in the coming years.
24/7 Wall St. revisited last year’s list of states most likely to legalize recreational marijuana. We again reviewed current marijuana laws as well as legislative processes in each state. The path to legalization is long, complex, and often very different in each state. Changing circumstances led to the addition of several states, including Arizona and Illinois, while Minnesota was the only state on last year’s list that was not included this year.

A state’s legislative process is an important factor in the state’s path towards legalization of marijuana. In an interview with 24/7 Wall St., Morgan Fox, senior communications manager with Marijuana Policy Project, a marijuana legalization advocacy group, explained, “Traditionally, voters have been far ahead of politicians when it comes to supporting marijuana policy reform.” As a result, states that allow ballot initiatives, through which statutes and constitutional amendments can be proposed by voters, are more likely to legalize marijuana sooner than states that do not allow ballot initiatives.
The four states that have legalized recreational marijuana use have done so through ballot initiatives. And this November, voters in Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Nevada will also vote on ballot initiatives that would repeal prohibition of the drug.
However, just over half of states do not allow such ballot initiatives, and many lawmakers perceive marijuana reform as too politically risky. According to Fox, this is beginning to change. In many states, including Vermont and Rhode Island, voters are not likely to punish politicians for being perceived as soft on drugs if they are in favor of marijuana law reforms. In states such as these, possession of a small amount of pot is already decriminalized and marijuana use is legal for those with certain medical conditions.
Relatively high usage rates among voting-age adults in these states also suggest a tolerant attitude towards the drug. In Vermont, for example, more than one in five adults have used marijuana in the past year, the second highest rate in the country.
While not a critical step towards full-scale legalization, states that allow marijuana use for medical reasons are also more likely to repeal prohibition. Not only does legal medicinal use reflect a relatively tolerant attitude towards the drug, but also it can help voters better understand the issue. “One of the potential benefits of having a functional medical marijuana program is that voters are able to see what a regulated marijuana industry looks like,” Fox said. This in turn can help people “envision what it would look like under a legalized system.”
Marijuana legalization is hotly debated, and states that have legalized the drug’s recreational use have gone about it in different ways. In Colorado, the campaign that eventually led to legalization argued for marijuana as a safe alternative to alcohol. By contrast, in Washington, advocates argued marijuana should be legalized because it is not safe and therefore should be regulated. They argued further that processing the numerous marijuana cases was an unnecessary burden on the justice system.
To determine the next states most likely to legalize recreational marijuana, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed existing marijuana laws in each state. To be considered, a state needed to have already legalized medicinal marijuana. Of those 25 states, a state needed to have either decriminalized possession of small amounts of pot, or allow ballot initiatives that can lead to legalization. Only 14 states met these criteria. State marijuana laws came from the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, and marijuana use and perceptions of risk came from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. In states that have not decriminalized marijuana, maximum fines are listed for the smallest amount penalized for first-time offenders.
These are the next states to legalize marijuana.

1. Arizona
> Possession decriminalized: No
> Amount decriminalized: N/A
> Max. fine for less than 2 lbs: $150,000
> Pct. adults using in past year: 13.5%
Currently, penalties for marijuana possession in Arizona are among the most severe in the country. Arizona is the only state where a person possessing any amount of marijuana can face felony charges. In addition, possession can lead to a two-year prison sentence and up to a $150,000 fine.
Despite the draconian laws, Arizona may well be the next state to legalize recreational marijuana. State voters submitted more than enough petition signatures to the Secretary of State in late June to include a measure on the ballot in November to end marijuana prohibition and effectively regulate the drug like alcohol. If passed, the provision would allow adults 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of marijuana. A report released by the state’s Joint Legislative Budget Committee estimates that legalizing marijuana would generate $82 million in additional tax revenue annually.

America's Most Segregated Cities

Of the 28.7 million black Americans living in the nation’s largest metropolitan areas, nearly one-quarter reside in segregated neighborhoods — where at least 80% of residents are black. People living in urban areas are even more likely to be isolated, with 44.4% living in homogeneous neighborhoods, where the vast majority of residents have the same skin color or ethnicity.
Nearly 14% of U.S. residents are African American. Therefore, if 14% of each community were black, the United States would be perfectly integrated. For the 100 largest metropolitan areas, this is never the case. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed large U.S. metro areas containing at least one census tract — small statistical areas — where at least 80% of the population is African American. The most segregated metro areas have the largest percentage of black area residents living in these racially homogenous communities.
Detroit is the most segregated metro area in the United States. Among the city’s 962,000 black residents, 57.7% live in predominately black neighborhoods.

Richard Rothstein is a senior researcher and segregation expert at the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank. In an interview with 24/7 Wall St., Rothstein said there is a distinction between segregation and ethnic and racial homogeneity, which unlike most isolated African American communities, could be related to immigration patterns, grouping due to shared language, and so forth. “Only African Americans were segregated by a century of explicit federal state and local policy,” Rothstein said.
The United States has a long and troubling history of race-based housing segregation. Until the fair housing act was passed in 1968, municipalities and private realtors were able to legally force African Americans to live in separate neighborhoods. The long-term consequences of these policies, coupled with the continuing trend of white flight, has entrenched segregation and the resulting inequalities in U.S. metropolitan areas.
Not all racial segregation can be blamed on discriminatory housing policies. The path towards integration is not set, and while activists and lawmakers struck a blow against segregation during the Civil Rights movement of the 1950’s and 60’s, it persists in different, perhaps more subtle forms to this day. One such example is the process of gentrification taking place in many urban U.S. areas. Rothstein noted that gentrification is often mistaken for integration. In neighborhoods where the population was “once all black, and now they’re mixed, but in 10 years they’re going to be all white, that’s a misleading indicator of integration,” he said.
One of the most serious and observable long-term consequences of residential segregation can be seen in the public school system. School funding is largely determined by property tax revenues. In metropolitan areas characterized by wealthy white neighborhoods and low-income black neighborhoods, therefore, schools in white neighborhoods are much better funded. Consequently, white children are much more likely to succeed than black children in a nearby neighborhood, even as they are attending classes often just a mile or two away.
While a range of factors affect disparities in educational attainment on a racial level, the effects of segregated housing on learning outcomes are evident. Among white adults nationwide, 89.1% have a high school diploma and 34.9% have a bachelor’s degree. For black residents 25 and older, the corresponding educational attainment rates are 84.9% and 21.0%. In many of the most segregated metropolitan areas, the differences are much larger. For example, in Milwaukee — one of the more segregated U.S. metros — educational attainment rates of white residents are comparable to national figures, but just 80% of black adults have graduated from high school and just 12.4% have a four-year college degree.
Speaking to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Marjory Givens, associate scientist with the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute said “Highly segregated neighborhoods tend to have environmental hazards, often elevated crime levels, and segregated residents in general have fewer opportunities for good education or a job that pays a living wage, or access to health care and healthy food.”
These are America’s most segregated cities.

The World's 13 Most Valuable Startups
Michael B. Sauter, Samuel Stebbins
September 14, 2016 12:43 pm
Last Updated: January 13, 2020 3:33 am
Every tech startup wants to become a unicorn — a private company valued at more than $1 billion. Because they typically dominate a new business or technology, unicorns are able to raise billions of dollars from investors on the speculation that they will become the next Facebook or Google.
So called because of their rare nature, unicorns are actually becoming more common. As recently as five years ago, there were around 40 unicorns — non-public tech companies that were able to raise funds matching a valuation of at least $1 billion. Today, there are more than 140 unicorns. In fact, there are a number of companies that have yet to go public and that are valued at more than $10 billion. These so-called decacorns include companies such as Snapchat, Airbnb, and Uber, the largest decacorn in the world, valued of $66 billion. Based on estimates and data provided by private company research firm PrivCo, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed today’s 13 decacorns.
Generally, established companies are valued based on their current and future operations and their financials. Also, other companies in the same industry provide context for the valuation. However, in venture capitalism — and particularly for many of these unicorns — there are no existing examples to draw from because these companies are developing brand new technologies for which there is no precedent. The valuation is therefore often based on assumptions for the new industry and the company’s assumed capability to develop current and future operations.
Click here to see the world’s 13 most valuable startups.
For example, in the case of ride-sharing service Uber, the world’s highest valued startup, the company’s valuation is based on a fair amount of speculation because no company has ever competed with taxi services on a global scale before.
Due to the many unknowns and uncertainties, many argue that these unicorns are overvalued — some companies are valued at many times their funding totals — and that the recent explosion in the number of unicorns is unwarranted. Private spaceflight company SpaceX has raised $1.2 billion, but its most recent round of funding in October placed valued it at $15 billion. Chinese electronics company Xiaomi has raised an estimated $1.5 billion, a fraction of its valuation of $46 billion. Some speculate that the unicorn’s high valuation — five, 10, and even 30 times their capital — is the sign of another tech bubble.
24/7 Wall St. discussed unicorn valuations with Evan Danckwerth, senior financial analyst at PrivCo. Referring specifically to Uber’s $66 billion valuation Danckwerth said, “It’s not unheard of, but for a company where you don’t know where the revenue growth is exactly going to come from, it’s somewhat strange to see such a large valuation.” He added, “On the other hand, Uber has raised $16 billion, and that’s also unprecedented.”
While he acknowledged that some of the smaller unicorns may be overvalued, Danckwerth explained that there is increasing evidence that these numbers actually reflect the potential value of these new businesses.
Danckwerth explained that earlier this year, some major unicorns, including Snapchat, suffered from speculation of overvaluation. During that time, Snapchat’s valuation fell from $16 billion to around $13.7 billion. However, many of those companies have either returned to previous values or have since increased in value. In May, Snapchat raised funds based on a $20 billion value. This change, Dankwerth said, “means that there’s something there … [investors] are really looking at true revenue.”
Privco, a research company that specializes in data on non-public companies, provided 24/7 Wall St. with data on tech startups that have not yet gone public and have raised funds based on at least a $1 billion valuation in the most recent round of funding. The 13 companies on this list are the 13 companies valued at $10 billion or more. Privco also provided 24/ Wall st. with estimates of funds raised to date.

The Highest Paid Public Employee in Every State

Nick Saban, head coach of the men’s football team at the University of Alabama, is paid more than $7 million annually. He is the highest paid employee of all U.S. workers employed by a local or state government.
In the vast majority of states, college football and basketball coaches are the highest paid public employees. When a millionaire coach is not the state’s top earner, high ranking medical officials or deans at state University-run hospitals and college presidents are usually next in line. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed public records and external sources to identify the highest paid public employee in each state.
College coaching salaries have been on the rise in recent years. According to USA TODAY Sports, which compiled coaches’ salaries used in this ranking, the average compensation package for coaches at major universities and colleges is $1.81 million. This is up by more than 90% since 2006, the first year USA TODAY Sports published its database.

Seven-figure salaries are relatively scarce in the public sector. To earn this level of income at public institutions, private sources are almost always involved. The revenue stream from highly lucrative TV and other media deals and the fact that college athletes are not paid largely explain the exorbitant salaries for coaches.
Comparing salaries of the highest paid public employee in each state reveals that larger states tend to pay their best paid employees larger salaries. This is not directly related to the larger tax base but rather to the bigger universities these states have — and their massive sports programs.
If a state’s best paid public worker is not a head coach, he or she is often still employed by a large university. James H. Page is the chancellor of the University of Maine System; Clay Christian is commissioner of higher education in Montana; and Mark Huddleston is the president of the University of New Hampshire. Each are the highest paid public employees in their states.
To determine the highest-paid public employee in each state, 24/7 Wall St. considered reports of public salaries based on state government payrolls and public documents. All college football and basketball coach salaries are based on USA Today’s consolidated list of NCAA coach salaries, which includes pay for 2015 in the case of football and 2016 in the case of basketball. In the case where a coach received a raise or was recently hired, the more recent available information was used. All data are based on the most recent available information.
These are the highest paid public employees in every state.
Editor’s Note: In a previous version of this article, it was implied that Mark Gottfried was head men’s basketball coach at the University of North Carolina. He is in fact head men’s basketball coach at North Carolina State University.

25 Most Dangerous Cities in America

Following a nearly two-decade decline in violence in the United States, crime levels rose in 2016 for the second consecutive year, leading some to speculate a new wave of violence in America was emerging. The FBI’s 2017 crime statistics tell a less gripping but more encouraging story: crime is down slightly and is relatively stable over the long-term.
In an interview with 24/7 Wall St., John Roman, a senior fellow with the non-partisan research organization NORC at the University of Chicago, said, “I don’t see anything on the horizon that’s likely to really change this picture.” No large policy change has been proposed by decision makers on either side of the political spectrum, he explained.
There were 1.25 million violent crimes reported across the United States in 2017, down slightly from 2016.
Some cities, such as New York and Washington D.C., have made remarkable progress since the 1990s. New York, which was one of the most dangerous cities in the 1980’s and 1990’s today is the safest major city in the nation. Other cities, such as Chicago, Baltimore, and St. Louis, continue to top dangerous city lists.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed violent crime rates in major U.S. cities from the FBI’s 2017 Uniform Crime Report. Violent crime includes all offenses involving force or threat of force and is broken into four categories: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. For every 100,000 U.S. residents, 383 violent crimes were reported in 2017.

Every winter seems a little different from the one before, and nothing is as notoriously unpredictable as the weather. The expectation of a harsh winter is part of life in many parts of the country. And in certain sections of the Northern United States, average temperatures during winter would make anyone cringe.
Using daily temperatures tracked over a 30-year period, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) defines the normal high and low temperatures for every month for over 250 cities. (Here are the 50 hottest cities in America).
To identify America’s 50 coldest cities, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the minimum average temperature for the coldest month from 1981 to 2010 for every place tracked by the U.S. Census Bureau with at least 10,000 residents. This is the latest data available. We added population, the lowest temperature on record, and annual average snowfall for each city listed. For more on snowfall, see: the snowiest counties in every state.
Most of the cities on this list are located in the Midwest, with the top 10 coldest cities mostly in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Overall, the list includes cities from 19 states. Six of the 50 coldest cities are in Nebraska and another six are in Wisconsin — tied for the most of any state.

States With the Highest and Lowest Sales Tax

On or before April 15, millions of Americans will file their taxes.
Though the focus this time of year tends to be on income taxes, Americans also pay thousands of dollars each year in state and local sales taxes.
Sales tax rates and sales tax bases, which vary considerably between states, change how much tax revenue state and local governments collect. Generally, the states with the best economies have more affluent populations, and collect more taxes per capita as a result.
Americans pay between 0% and 11.6% of the price of the goods they buy in sales taxes — depending on state of purchase. Five states levy no sales tax whatsoever. On average, across all states, state and local general sales tax collections come to $1,145 per capita, compared to $1,518 in state and local property taxes per capita and $1,144 in state and local individual income taxes.
Many believe sales taxes do more harm than good because, unlike property taxes, income taxes, or corporate taxes, they are not taxed on a scale but as a flat percentage. This system is referred to as a regressive tax because its burden is higher on lower-income taxpayers.
Some tax policy experts, on the other hand, favor sales tax for its transparency. Regarding graduated income tax rates as complex and confusing to many taxpayers, sales tax proponents argue that sales taxes are easier to understand.

Methodology
To determine the states with the highest and lowest sales taxes, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed sales tax rates from the Tax Foundation’s State and Local Sales Tax Rates in 2019 report.
The report used a population-weighted average of local sales taxes as of Jan. 1, 2019 to compare the average local rate of each state.
Combined sales tax figures include statewide sales tax rates as well as the average local sales tax rates for residents as of Jan. 1, 2019. Regional price parity data comes from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and is for 2016. Personal income per capita is also from the BEA and is for the third quarter of 2018. In New Jersey, the average local tax is -0.03% because businesses in Salem County are exempt from collecting state sales taxes.

There are more medical doctors in the top 1% of earners than any other profession. The average salary of family and general practitioners nationwide is $192,120. Doctors who choose to specialize can earn even higher salaries. Anesthesiologists, for example, are among the highest paid medical professionals, earning about $258,000 a year on average.
The average annual salary of a primary care physician varies by more than $90,000 between states. To identify the states where doctors earn the most and the least, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the average annual salary of family and general practitioners in every state. Doctors in Alaska earn the most with an average annual salary of $235,600. In contrast, physicians in Oklahoma earn $144,100 a year, the lowest of any state.
Doctors’ average earnings do not necessarily correlate with overall earnings in a state. Rich and poor states are found on both sides of the doctor pay spectrum. Notably in Mississippi — the poorest state in America where the average salary across all jobs is just $37,620 a year — the average physician salary is the fifth highest of all states.

Every state could use more doctors. The Health Resources and Services Administration sets thresholds for provider-to-patient ratios. These thresholds indicate states with a doctors shortage. Twelve states have less than 50% of the primary doctors necessary to meet the needs of residents.
Because of the shortage, physicians can choose where to practice with relative ease, compared to many other professions. Similarly, high pay in a state can attract doctors who may not otherwise have considered practicing there. For example, doctor pay is highest in the remote state of Alaska, while states with traditionally high-paying jobs such as New York and California, that are perhaps more desired locations, physician salaries are lower.
The high salaries among medical doctors come at high cost. The typical graduate of a medical school in 2015 had accumulated $183,000 in student debt. While many factors contribute to a doctor’s decision where to practice, such a large amount of debt can entice doctors to choose to practice where they would be paid most.
A large medical student population in a state can also drive earnings for doctors down. Graduating medical students are more likely to stay in the state where they went to school, and with a higher supply of available doctors, pay often decreases. West Virginia, Vermont, and Missouri are the three states with the most medical students per capita. All three are among the 10 states paying doctors the least.
To determine the states with the highest and lowest paid doctors, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed 2015 average annual salaries of family and general practitioners in every state using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Employment Statistics survey. The average 2015 salary for all occupations is also from this BLS survey. Cost of living figures are 2014 state level regional price parities from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The number of doctors per 100,000 residents in 2013 were obtained from County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, a collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. All data are for the most recent period available.

Is Apple About to Conquer the Video Game Industry? Look out Microsoft

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) may be about to make a formal entrance into the video game console market. Metal, the new graphics API Apple unveiled on Monday, strongly suggests that the iPhone-maker is taking core gaming seriously.
With Metal, the A7 chip that powers Apple’s iPad Air is capable of outputting graphics on par with modern consoles: Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, a game originally released for the Xbox One, was shown running on Apple’s tablet.
Industry observers have long expected Apple to enter the video game console business — if it does, it could create a new opportunity for Apple, while putting immense pressure on the existing console players, including Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT).
An obvious outcome
Apple’s entrance into, and eventual domination of, the home console business has long been seen as a foregone conclusion. To some extent, Apple is already a major player in the video game industry — last year, Apple’s customers spent $10 billion on iTunes apps, the majority of which went to game creators. Extending this app store model to the living room seems like an obvious move.
Gabe Newell, the billionaire founder of the video game giant Valve, predicted that Apple would “ [roll] the console guys really easily” last year. Newell, plotting to extend his company’s Steam platform from the PC into the living room, said he feared competition from Apple more than Microsoft, or any of the current players.
Nat Brown, one of the co-creators of Microsoft’s original Xbox, made similar remarks in a blog post written in 2013. Brown argued that an Apple TV with an integrated app store and paired controller would make for an attractive gaming device, as game creators would be drawn to Apple’s straightforward app store distribution model.

Apple said to be planning updated Apple TV
Reports indicate that Apple is planning such a move. Earlier this year, 9to5Mac said that Apple was testing a new version of the Apple TV’s software that would include access to the app store, and in particular, video games.
For years, Apple has been rumored to have a full-fledged Apple TV in development, and statements from Apple’s executives, including Tim Cook and Steve Jobs, have lent credence to that speculation. Cook told NBC’s Brian Williams that Apple was immensely interested in the TV market, and earlier this year he stated that the current Apple TV was no longer a “hobby.”
In November, Apple confirmed that it had acquired PrimeSense, a company known for its work on the first-generation Kinect, the motion and voice sensor sold as an add-on to Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Although it’s impossible to know what Apple plans to do with PrimeSense, including the technology in a future Apple TV video game console wouldn’t be shocking.
Sizing up the opportunity
In total, about 260 million home consoles were sold last generation (Wii, Microsoft’s Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 combined) giving Apple a large opportunity in terms of potential hardware sales. Financially, however, it’s far less clear, as video game consoles have rarely generated large profits.
ALSO READ: America’s Most Profitable Products
Microsoft’s Xbox division, for example, has long been met with skepticism from analysts, who rightfully note that the Xbox business is not material to Microsoft’s bottom line. The PlayStation brand, meanwhile, has historically been successful, but the inclusion of an early generation Blu-ray player caused the PlayStation 3 to generate substantial losses.
Roku’s CEO claims that, despite Apple’s long-standing policy of selling its hardware at a high margin, the company sells the current Apple TV at a loss ($99). Whether or not it would be willing to extend that policy to a more gaming-orientated box is unknown, but an expensive device could struggle in a console market that sees frequent price cuts — Microsoft, after just seven months on the market, is now offering a version of the Xbox One priced at $399; 20% less than the initial offering.
The real opportunity could come from extending Apple’s larger hardware ecosystem — an iOS-based and iTunes-account linked Apple TV could entice gamers to stay within Apple’s ecosystem, picking Apple’s iPhones, iPads, and Macs over rival devices.
Whether Apple chooses to formally enter the gaming market with some sort of console box remains to be seen. But the possibility should concern Microsoft, and other players in the space. Apple has laid the groundwork for such an entrance, setting the stage for its domination of the industry.

How Much Time Do Viewers Really Spend With Netflix?

When Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) last reported how many hours of video it streamed, the total came to 6.5 billion hours for the first quarter of 2014. Divided by the number of subscribers, that works out to 1 hour and 44 minutes per day per subscriber.
A new survey by Germany-based media firm GfK SE suggests that the number per viewer may be far lower — more like 44 minutes a day. According to GfK, in the United States an average TV viewer between the ages of 13 and 64 watches three TV shows and two movies a week on Netflix. That works out to 44 minutes a day. If only Netflix subscribers are counted, the number jumps to 1.5 hours a day, about what Netflix reported.
Nielsen comes in with a third set of numbers, according nScreenMedia. For 18 to 24 year olds, Web video consumption is just 21 minutes a day. And that’s the group that watches the most streaming video. The number of minutes watched per day drops to 19 in the 25- to 34-year-old group and to just 15 among 35 to 49 year olds.
One way to try to find a number everyone agrees on is to take into account a GfK claim that only 45% of people who use Netflix are actually subscribers. The rest were family and friends, according to nScreenMedia. Cut the hours by 45% and the total time that a viewer spends watching Netflix video is about 40 minutes.
A survey from earlier this year by nScreenMedia indicated that subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) viewers watched about 42 minutes of streamed video a day. Because Netflix dominates the U.S. SVOD market, it is fairly safe to assign the majority of those minutes to Netflix.
The conclusion: the amount of time that viewers spend watching Netflix video is around 40 minutes a day, or about the equivalent of one TV show. As for the much lower Nielsen estimate — about 31% of U.S. homes have Netflix subscriptions. Averaging all those Netflix-reported hours over all U.S. homes, the total time spent viewing Netflix content is about 13 minutes a day, which is in the Nielsen ballpark. nScreenMedia says that means that most of the time that an average viewer spent watching SVOD was spent viewing Netflix.
Shares of Netflix were trading down about 0.1% on Monday afternoon, at $448.38 in a 52-week range of $282.80 to $489.29.

This Is Why Microsoft Bought Skype

A little over four years ago, in May 2011, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) purchased Internet communications company Skype. Microsoft paid approximately $8.5 million in cash for Skype from an investing group led by Silver Lake, according to Microsoft’s website.
At the time, this had many media pundits wondering why Microsoft would pay so much money for a company that clocked in “revenue of $860 million” and had a small loss. With that said, Microsoft’s reasoning was more strategic than adding a profitable business to its portfolio. Let’s take a closer look at why.
Telephony Capability
Wired Magazine posted an excellent article discussing the technical angle of the deal. The article discussed many overlaps that Skype had with the capabilities of Microsoft such as “free instant messaging, and voice and video chat.” However, Microsoft gained access to VoIP telephone capability that it did not have before, for which it can charge clients. Wired Magazine, and other media pundits, also argued that Microsoft could integrate the technology into a mobile phone platform.
Competitiveness
It was also speculated that Microsoft bought Skype to keep it out of the hands of competitors, such as Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) or Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL). Facebook users could have made good use of Skype by telephoning friends. In addition, Google could have integrated Skype into its search function, as well as its Android telephone. It also allows Microsoft to compete with Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) Facetime.

Productivity and Product Augmentation
In this day and age, when computing is increasingly done by mobile phones, it could be argued that Microsoft’s Windows operating system is facing fading dominance. However, Microsoft is still relatively proficient in the productivity realm. Currently, Skype is being utilized in Microsoft’s cloud productivity strategy. In the most recent quarter, Microsoft came out with Skype for Business, made available to Office 365 customers on a global basis.
It also serves as a complement to its current Windows offerings, because its users can call relatives for free. On an interesting side note, Skype was only mentioned explicitly in Microsoft’s most recent earnings call. The fact remains Skype is now a small part of Microsoft’s productivity machine and is out of the hands of its competitors.

What IBM Really Gets by Acquiring Merge Healthcare

International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM) tried to make waves in the market Thursday morning on news that it will acquire Merge Healthcare Inc. (NASDAQ: MRGE). Big Blue announced that Watson will gain the ability to “see” by bringing together Watson’s advanced image analytics and cognitive capabilities with Merge’s medical imaging platform.
The big question here is whether Merge can help move the needle for IBM’s lack of growth. Maybe it can years down the road, but Merge has faced declining sales and it is a very small-cap stock, versus more than a $150 billion market cap for IBM.
Under terms of the transaction, Merge shareholders would receive $7.13 per share in cash. The total transaction is valued at $1 billion. Granted, the deal is still pending approval from regulators and Merge shareholders. It is worth noting that Merge has $207 million in debt as a part of this deal, which means the equity portion of this deal and the actual cash outlay is actually less the deal sounds.
What stands out about this deal is that it ranks third in terms of IBM’s major health-related acquisitions, and it is the largest since IBM launched its Watson Health unit in April. The top two major health acquisitions were Phytel (population health) and Explorys (cloud-based health care intelligence).
ALSO READ: What Could Apple Buy With Its Huge Pile of Cash?
Ultimately the endgame for this acquisition is to help Watson “see” and understand medical images. As the largest and fastest growing data source in the health care industry, it is taking professionals more time and specialization to work through the data. It would be a natural progression to put a machine in this position to save both time and money.
For some background on Watson: It is the first commercially available cognitive computing capability representing a new era in computing. The system, delivered through the cloud, analyzes high volumes of data, understands complex questions posed in natural language, and proposes evidence-based answers. Watson continuously learns, gaining in value and knowledge over time, from previous interactions.
John Kelly, senior vice president, IBM Research and Solutions Portfolio, commented on the acquisition:
As a proven leader in delivering healthcare solutions for over 20 years, Merge is a tremendous addition to the Watson Health platform. Healthcare will be one of IBM’s biggest growth areas over the next 10 years, which is why we are making a major investment to drive industry transformation and to facilitate a higher quality of care. Watson’s powerful cognitive and analytic capabilities, coupled with those from Merge and our other major strategic acquisitions, position IBM to partner with healthcare providers, research institutions, biomedical companies, insurers and other organizations committed to changing the very nature of health and healthcare in the 21st century. Giving Watson ‘eyes’ on medical images unlocks entirely new possibilities for the industry.

The feeling from this acquisition is that it is an entirely scientific one, in no way does it seem that IBM is making this acquisition to boost its revenues or gain some cost efficiencies. Again, Merge’s revenues have fallen in the past two years or so. Also, despite an expected revenue growth of 18% in 2015 and 9% in 2016, the few analysts that follow Merge do not even see $300 million in annual revenue in 2015 and 2016.
What Big Blue and CEO Ginni Rometty need to consider are moves in the near term that will move the needle within the next year or two. While this acquisition may end up benefiting IBM in the long run, the company will still be eating up about $700 million or so in cash to do this deal without really adding anything in the here and now to show for it.
It was just Wednesday that IBM was rumored to be interested in making a large data security company acquisition, but even that might be hard to really move the needle for Big Blue.
Shares of IBM were down 0.6% at $156.90 Thursday morning. The stock has a consensus analyst price target of $160.18 and a 52-week trading range of $149.52 to $195.00.
Merge shares were up 30% at $7.05, in a 52-week range of $2.04 to $6.20 before this move. The stock also had a consensus analyst price target of $6.33. Merge Healthcare shares used to be valued far higher than in recent years, but that was back in 2006, and that seems like a different era as it was before the recession.

Growing Dividend Payout Concerns at AT&T

AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) is the top stock in the Dogs of the Dow. Its sliding shares price is down to a 52-week low, and now AT&T’s dividend yield is a whopping 5.55%. This is almost an unheard of dividend for a Dow Jones Industrial Average stock. This is nearly painful to imagine, but the payout ratio is reaching such a level that some are beginning to question it.
On top of a very high payout ratio, AT&T’s earnings report showed weaker-than-expected subscribers in the fourth quarter. Guidance of roughly $11 billion in free cash flows in 2014 and 2015 look to be meeting what is a lower amount of share buybacks.
J.P. Morgan showed that this puts its payout ratio at close to 85%, and that may be the norm for the next two years, versus an industry norm of closer to 80%. J.P. Morgan cut the price target to $35 from $38. The good news is that the firm sees the dividend as a safe one that likely will not be cut.
Credit Suisse lowered its estimates and cut its price target to $37 from $38. The firm also discussed that higher payout ratio, but noted a rate of 88.5% of free cash flows, versus 53% to 70% in prior years.
AT&T telegraphed that it is comfortable with its dividend and with its current payout ratio based on its current leverage and its ability to monetize assets. Thinking of a dividend cut is almost hard to fathom at AT&T. That is not what analysts are calling for, but it is often a concern when you see this payout ratio addressed in research reports.
Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) has a dividend of 4.5%, a full point lower than AT&T’s dividend yield. Verizon’s stock held up after its report, and trading at $47.30, it has a 52-week trading range of $43.34 to $54.31. What is keeping Verizon’s numbers afloat is the recent addition of the rest of Verizon Wireless. That addition is why Verizon’s earnings growth is expected to be 23% in 2014, versus only about 7% in earnings growth for AT&T.
Verizon remains a serious competitor for AT&T, as does a potential combination of T-Mobile US Inc. (NYSE: TMUS) and Sprint Corp. (NYSE: S). These two lagging mobile telecom companies have reportedly now met with the Department of Justice to see if it would have a hard time under regulatory merger clearance. This is a merger that many investors expect to occur, but T-Mobile has eaten away at AT&T and at Verizon with its “uncarrier” marketing and customer incentives. Neither T-Mobile nor Sprint pay dividends, and they will not be expected to for some time — even if they merge.
On a defensive note, Wells Fargo has reportedly said that AT&T payout ratio concerns being brought up are overblown. The firm noted that 2014 would be the peak year for capital spending.
24/7 Wall St. believes that AT&T’s dividend is not likely to be cut. That being said, it is also extremely hard to expect dividend growth for the time being. Again, the concern is that analysts are starting to grow leery of that high payout ratio.
Shares of AT&T were indicated down 1.5% around $33 in early Wednesday trading, but shares were down as much 2.7% at $32.80 earlier in the premarket trading session. AT&T’s prior 52-week trading range is $33.09 to $39.00.

How Does American Airlines Fly 200 Million People a Year?
Douglas A. McIntyre
January 30, 2016 9:05 am
Last Updated: January 13, 2020 1:54 pm
American Airlines Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) just announced that it had revenue of $41 billion and net income of $7.6 billion last year. The carrier said both were records. To hit the figure, American had to fly 202 million passengers last year, the equivalent of about a third of the U.S. population. How did it reach such a high number?
First, American flies across and to four continents. Domestic travel accounts for about 60% of American’s traffic, followed by Latin American, Atlantic and Pacific routes, in that order of traffic. This adds up to flights to 50 countries. To hit this number, American flights total 6,500 a day to 350 airports.
American could not approach its current level of success if not for the merger between U.S. Airways and American when the latter came out of Chapter 11. The resulting company earned the top spot on this year’s Fortune’s turnarounds list:
Headquartered in Fort Worth, American Airlines Group is the product of American Airlines’ December 2013 merger with US Airways.

Florida Snake Photo Gallery
Click any image below for a large high-res photo. All snakes were caught in central Florida, within a 20 mile radius of downtown Orlando, FL. These represent just a few of the approximately 30 snake species in central Florida.
1. Eastern Garter Snake 2. Yellow Rat Snake 3. Water Moccasin 4. Glass Lizard 5. Boa Constrictor 6. Corn Snake (Red Rat Snake) 7. Coachwhip 8. Black Racer 9. Black Racer 10. Banded Water Snake 11. Banded Water Snake 12. Cottonmouth This central Florida Snake photo gallery contains pictures of snakes caught in the Orlando FL region. The most common snakes in central Florida are the Black Racer, the Corn Snake, the Yellow Rat Snake, the Garter Snake, the Milk Snake, the Florida Ringneck Snake, and the Banded Water Snake. All of these snakes seem to thrive well in heavily populated urban and suburban areas. Venomous, or poisonous snakes, as many people refer to them, are rare in the Orlando area. The most common is probably the Water Moccasin, or Cottonmouth, which is an aquatic snake. The second most common is probably the Pigmy Rattlesnake, or perhaps the Eastern Coral Snake. The Coral Snake is rarely seen, because it spends most of its time under heavy debris. The Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake is rare, because it needs open territory, and most are killed off in heavily populated areas. The most common snake in central Florida is the Black Racer. It is a thin black snake with a white or gray belly, and it is very fast. It seems to thrive very well in urban areas. Many people ask me about snakes in attics, but this phenomenon is very rare. I've only seen a few snakes in attics, and all were Yellow Rat snakes, like in the snake picture above. Occasionally snakes do get inside homes or buildings. Most commonly, it's the small snakes that do so, because they can creep through very tiny openings. The Florida Ringneck is such a snake. I've seen Black Racers, Corn Snakes, Rat Snakes, and various baby snakes inside homes. I've never seen a venomous snake inside a home. Sometimes snakes will fall into your swimming pool, and are unable to escape. My name is David Graham Seerveld, or Dave Seerveld as some people call me, and I currently operate a wildlife removal company in Orlando Florida. I do enjoy catching snakes, but I spend most of my time on other wild animals. If you need a professional snake control company to remove a snake from your home or property in the Orlando area, give me a call. If you simply need a snake identified, there are plenty of sites online that offer ample snake pictures and photos for your comparison. Remember, dangerous snakes are rare, and all snakes will leave you alone if you leave them alone.
We also sell a special trap designed just for snakes. It is very effective, and placed outside works 24-7-365 to trap snakes alive, and it is re-usable. Use this trap if you want to remove unwanted snakes from your property, or if you want to catch snakes for collection or observation. It works both inside the home or garage or outside and has a proven track record of hundreds of snake captures.

Do snakes come out at night?
Most people find snakes to be quite scary and some are even dangerous. To be safe, the vast majority of people do all that they can to stay away from these creatures, wanting to ensure that they do not come in contact with them in any way. That is perfectly understandable, as there are some that are venomous and others just look quite creepy. Staying away from these reptiles seems like a sensible thing to do.
For some, they think that the night time provides them with safety. If they are out at night they will have no worries because they believe that snakes do not come out night. Is that thinking sound? Do snakes come out at night? The answer depends.
The truth is that snakes as a class of animals are a lot like every other class of animal. While there are many similarities in physical appearance to one another, there are many behavioral differences between them and this is seen in this particular behavior. Some snakes do come out at night.
There are a large number that are nocturnal and find the night time to be the perfect time to hunt. There are some types of snakes that can actually detect other animals by using a sensor that allows them to detect infrared. This makes it easy to detect things would be dangerous for them or to see things that would make a perfect night time snack. The night does not bother them at all, and actually is more of an advantage to them.
While there are many species of snakes that are nocturnal, there are also many that are not. Not every snake has this special sensor, and those would be in danger at night because they do not have the ability to detect things that may be dangerous to them. In addition, they do not have great defenses to fend out attacks from other animals and this makes it so that they find the night time to be an inhospitable time to them.
One example of a nocturnal snake is the rat snake. This is one of the most common snakes you will find in America and they are true night time creatures. This makes sense because a large amount of their diet consists of rats, mice and other rodents. At night time these rodents are out and about looking for their own food, and so the rat snake has the perfect opportunity to grab a meal. This is an animal that is nocturnal because it provides them with a much greater opportunity to get the kinds of food that it desires so that it will be taken care of.
It is these kinds of snakes, ones that eat animals that come out at night, that are the most likely to be nocturnal. Read more: Snake Control, Venomous Snakes of Florida, How to Identify Snakes, How to Kill Snakes .

http://247wildlife.com/squirrel-attic-how.html | How to Get Squirrels Out of Your Attic
How to Get Squirrels Out of Your Attic | How to Get Squirrels Out of Your Attic
A very common wildlife problem occurs when squirrels invade a home, in particular, the attic. They can also live simply in the eaves or soffits, anywhere above a ceiling, or in the walls. The principles discussed below work for any such case. The squirrel in question is the Eastern Gray Squirrel, which is very common nationwide.
If you don't live in FL, click here for my National Directory of Wildlife Trappers servicing 98% of the USA population.
First of all, it might help to know why squirrels are there. The first answer is that your attic makes great squirrel habitat - it's dry, warm, and safe, like a big hollow tree. But most of the time, the squirrels in your attic are actually a female squirrel and a litter of 3-5 young. In the below photos you can see various squirrels in attics. First, a lone squirrel, then a a family of several squirrels, then a nest of 3 baby squirrels, and finally, a squirrel poking its head out of a flimsy soffit screen, which it used to gain access to the attic.
So you want to know how to get squirrels out of your attic. It's not always a simple task - it often requires 1) physical removal of baby squirrels in a nest in an attic or down the walls, 2) (humane) trapping or exclusion of adult squirrels with special mounted traps on the entry holes or roof, 3) repairs to the entry points all over the house, with steel, and 4) cleanup of waste and repair of damage to wood and wires. The following tips and info should help in the squirrel removal process.
First of all, you have to determine if there's baby squirrels. Squirrels have two litters per year. For a 6-week span in August to mid-September, there's baby squirrels. After that time frame, the young are running about like mama squirrel, and suddenly the noise increases a great deal. In fact, this is when many people notice the squirrels in the first place. The same goes for the winter litter, from February to mid-March (these time frames can vary a bit in different areas of the country). If you see only one squirrel, it's a good bet that it's a female, and there's a nest of baby squirrels in the attic or walls, as seen in the above photo. If so, you must find and remove them by hand, or else they will die and rot and stink, or if big enough, chew the crap out of your attic if stuck inside without their mother. That's why it's a bad idea to simply set some traps outside.
I like one-way exclusion doors, with which you don't have to trap at all, but there are many cases in which trapping is the best answer. But there are several different types of traps for different situations. Read my How to Trap Squirrels guide for more detailed info on trap types, where and how to set them, bait, etc.
Click the below photographs for examples of how to properly trap squirrels in the attic:
Cage traps in attic - not the right way to do it
Under soffit mount with nose cones traps every one
Repeater trap set on wall pipe gap leading into attic
Repeater trap set on gable vent, with blockade screen
The best way to make sure you solve your squirrel problem is to find out how they are getting into the house and attic in the first place. When people ask me how to get squirrels out of your house, I tell them that they must to a full inspection of the whole house, top-to-bottom, and find out how the squirrels got in. Then you can mount traps on the hole, as seen in the first photo below. In the photo all the way to the right, you can see that I've mounted one of these special traps on a vent, which the squirrel was using for access. When it goes outside to get food and water, it gets caught (squirrels go in and out several times a day, by the way - they need to eat and drink). In the second photo, we see a one-way exclusion door. That allows them to get back out, but not back in. This works well of there's no way to chew wood to get back in. Of course, you can always set traps to catch them in cages, such as seen below, me with several squirrels. Trapping is an art - just the right location (on the roof) with just the right trap (bought at a professional supplier) and the right pan settings and bait and such.
You could also just let them be, and see if they will go away on their own. I definitely DO NOT recommend this. First of all, they will just come back in soon for the next litter, and it will go on for years, I promise you that. While in the attic, they can cause a lot of damage. They are rodents, and so they chew a lot. They often chew on electrical wires, which can cause electric outages and fire hazards. Yes, squirrels can burn your house down. They also chew on wood, sometimes right through beams. They also spread a lot of poop and urine, and various zoonotic diseases and parasites.
My honest opinion is that you call a professional. I'm not just saying that to endorse my line of work, but because I constantly observe cases in which a homeowner decided to get rid of squirrels in the house themselves, and just created several bigger problems. A family of squirrels in the house, attic, or walls is a complex case with many variable, and usually only an experienced wildlife professional can get the job done right. So for the question of how do you get squirrels out of your attic, I definitely recommend that you hire a pro. I have a list of several hundred wildlife control professionals nationwide, so you can call someone in your area to talk about your squirrel problem if you wish.
The principles for how to get squirrels out of your walls, or how to get squirrels out of your house, anywhere, from the soffits to the eaves or ceiling, are the same as for the attic. Find the entry points, make sure the young are removed, fix all secondary entry areas, mount traps on the main hole, repair damages.

It Is Difficult To Find How Squirrels Are Getting In - A lot of people think that it is difficult to find how squirrels are getting into the house, but it is not as bad as you may think. You will have to do some work however so that you can find the exact location. Sometimes it may feel as if you have found the entry point, but just because there is a hole in the wall does not mean that the squirrel has access through it. There may be a beam right behind the wall, and that would stop the squirrels from getting in, so make sure that you look at the actual hole that you have found. You should first do a walk-around your home making sure that you pay special attention to the space where the wall meets the roof, and the basement. The entry point may be behind vegetation so try to get there as much as possible. When you do find the entry point you should plug the hole with something that the squirrels will not chew through. That means that you can use metal and even tin foil will work as long as you bunch it up. So if you think that it is difficult to find how squirrels are getting in then perhaps these tips will help you get started.

How To Get Rid of Squirrels in the Attic
If you have squirrels in the attic, the first
thing to do to get rid of them is to get them
out. Squirrels go in and out of attics several
times a day. They are not living up there 24/7. They of course have to go outside to eat and
drink. They must be physically excluded from the
attic, and preferably trapped and removed. There
is no effective product that you can just buy
and apply to make them leave the attic. Examples
of bogus products include mothballs, ammonia,
hot pepper sauce, ultrasonic sound emitters, and
fox or coyote urine. Sorry, these tactics don't
work in the slightest.
1) Trap and Remove- the best way to get
rid of the squirrels in your attic. Of course,
once trapped, they must be relocated far away,
and most importantly, the entry points must be
permanently sealed.
2) One-Way Door- effective if properly
installed and if there are no other ways for the
squirrels to get back in. The squirrel exits the
attic as usual to go outside for food and water,
but it simply can't get back in.
3) Moth balls, ultrasonic sound emitters,
sprays, etc - these won't help in the slightest.
4) The most important thing is to eliminate the
entry points into the attic. See the below
examples.
Gable Entry Points Into Attic - Fixed to
Keep Squirrels Out
1) Squirrels were crawling in and out of
this wide open attic vent.
2) I cover the entire vent with heavy
gauge wire and bolt it down tight.
1) This is a typical gable vent. You
might notice the chewing in the
upper-left corner. I watched squirrels
go in and out of this spot.
2) After I trapped and removed all of
the squirrels, I sealed up the vent with
the heavy steel mesh.
1) This is another gable vent, as seen
from inside the attic.
2) The fan made it a bit more difficult,
but I still installed a steel screen to
keep out squirrels and rats.
1) Yet another giant gable vent, with
old & deteriorated screening. Squirrels were going in and out of this
opening.
2) The steel screen must cover the
entire space in order to keep squirrels
out of the attic.

More advice for How to get rid of squirrels out
of the attic
When you hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet in
your attic, a problem has arisen. It could be a
rat, squirrels, or many other rodents that have
an annoying habit of making their way into your
home and making a little tiny home for
themselves. One thing is for sure – you will
need to get rid of them, and if you don’t do so
properly and educate yourself first, you could
have a much wider spread problem on your hands.
The squirrels in your attic may be annoying to
the ear, with their teeny-tiny little feet
pattering around above your head when you are
trying to sleep at night, but they will also
bring with them a handful of other problems,
which in turn, could create a very expensive and
disappointing problem as well. Those family
heirlooms that you have nicely tucked away in
your attic could be nibbled by your rodent
problem, as well as your rafters, any electrical
wiring and even the floor and insulation. This
is why it is vitally important to get rid of
them properly.
So, what’s the right way to get rid of the
squirrels that have made their home in your
attic? One of the best ways, and perhaps one of
the easiest, is with traps, but this will come
with its fair share of problems at the same
time. You need to get the right trap, learn how
far away from your house to release the animal
so that it doesn’t come back, and even concern
yourself with a family problem – what happens if
your squirrel has had a teeny-tiny little
family? You may have gotten rid of the mother,
but what about the babies? If you take away
their source of food, (the mother) you will have
tiny little squirrels dying from starvation,
which will not only be incredibly inhumane and
painful for the little animals, but will also
attract many other rodents and bigger problems
if they smell the decomposing animals.
There are other ways that you can try to get rid
of squirrels from your attic – you could try
using a strobe light. This powerful pulsing
light will hurt the poor, sensitive eyes of the
squirrel and could drive them away in a more
natural manner, especially if you buy a good
strobe light and have patience in your quest.
Once you have trapped your animal and removed
it, or driven it away with the help of a strobe
light, it’s time to take a look at how they got
into your home in the first place. If you leave
the holes open, you could end up basically
inviting the squirrels to come back or worse,
invite rats and other rodents and animals in
your home.
The easiest way to get rid of squirrels from
your attic is to hire a professional. They will
not only be educated in how to effectively get
rid of any pests that you have in your home, but
will also be able to help you out at the same
time – giving you information on how to avoid
further pests, how to block up the holes that
they use to get in and out of your home, (some
may even do this part for you) and on top of
that, will give you the peace of mind that your
animal has been removed humanely and released
back into its natural habitat.

Learn its history, how and when it was imposed and WHY it was imposed—by the Jesuits, their Scottish-Rite Freemasons, Skull and Bonesmen and other Jesuit temporal coadjutors. Then learn to properly AVOID that socialist-communist, individual income tax which, according to the Grace Commission chaired by the late Knight of Malta J. Peter Grace (and party to the Kennedy Assassination/Cover-up), is only applied to the interest on the national debt of the Emergency War Powers Military Government centered in Washington, D.C., its “sovereign” Commander in chief waging international crusades for the benefit of the pope of Rome. Attend my two-day class for 2,000FRNs.
CORONAVIRUS AVOIDANCE AND REVERSAL
The Coronavirus is a deliberately engineered virus intended by the Black Pope’s International White Power Structure to “cull the herd.” Learn how to prevent the infection with daily maintenance and lifestyle. Learn also how to reverse the viral infection within three weeks at most! The Jesuit pope does not want you to know this but it is my scriptural duty before the Risen Lord Jesus Christ to inform anyone who desires to know the remedy.
“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not,
to him it is sin.” (James 4:17)

PRIVATE IRREVOCABLE ECCLESIASTICAL TRUSTS
The use of Private Trusts for the holding of real and personal property will be stressed as an absolute necessity for all students.

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE TAX LIEN
Based upon the Internal Revenue Service discharging the tax lien of “ERIC JON PHELPS” in July of 2019, this topic will also be taught in my Advanced Class. For those who wish to have the documents that were used to enable the IRS to release the lien, I request a gift of 1,000.00FRNs to the ministry. The package includes my special Private Bill of Exchange that only a Pre-March 9, 1933, Private Citizen of the United States / Private American National / Non-“U.S. citizen” can present with attachments. This process can be used for a mortgage, student loan, property tax, hospital bill, credit card debt and any other obligation issued by a state-created or nationally-created entity. There are no promises of success for anyone who obtains these documents.
INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX AVOIDANCE
The graduated Individual Income Tax on “all that comes in” is Voluntary. Learn its history, how and when it was imposed and WHY it was imposed—by the Jesuits, their Scottish-Rite Freemasons, Skull and Bonesmen and other Jesuit temporal coadjutors. Then learn to properly AVOID that socialist-communist, individual income tax which, according to the Grace Commission chaired by the late Knight of Malta J. Peter Grace (and party to the Kennedy Assassination/Cover-up), is only applied to the interest on the national debt of the Emergency War Powers Military Government centered in Washington, D.C., its “sovereign” Commander in chief waging international crusades for the benefit of the pope of Rome. Attend my two-day class for 2,000FRNs.
CORONAVIRUS AVOIDANCE AND REVERSAL
The Coronavirus is a deliberately engineered virus intended by the Black Pope’s International White Power Structure to “cull the herd.” Learn how to prevent the infection with daily maintenance and lifestyle. Learn also how to reverse the viral infection within three weeks at most! The Jesuit pope does not want you to know this but it is my scriptural duty before the Risen Lord Jesus Christ to inform anyone who desires to know the remedy.
“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not,
to him it is sin.” (James 4:17)
Attend my one-day class for 500.00 FRNs. You will not regret it! Dates are posted below.

AJ’s Food Truck
Post by Mark
Over the weekend I got to try AJ’s Food Truck and although I didn’t think much of the food I do love the idea of food trucks and I hope it catches on (and I’m guessing it will). With AJ’s Food Truck you have two options, you can either book them to come over with their truck and cater to you and your friends or you could follow them on Instagram and keep an eye out for when they park their truck somewhere so you could go and find them.
AJ’s Food Truck is a burger truck with a menu consisting of two kinds of burgers, a steak sandwich and a chicken burger. They also have sides like fries, onion rings and chicken tenders as well as drinks. But food trucks can of course be more than just burger trucks and I’d love to see a Chinese or Mexican food truck roaming around Kuwait.
If you want to find out more about AJ’s Food Truck you can check out their Instagram account @ajsfoodtruck

The New Fuel Prices
Post by Mark
Starting September 1st the price of fuel will be increased considerably in Kuwait. I’ve put together a table below showing the current/old prices, the new prices and the change in percentage. Premium 91 fuel got the smallest increase while Ultra 98 got the largest increase. That makes sense since whoever is filling their car with Ultra 98 fuel can afford to pay more for it. Check out the prices below:
Update: If you want to know what fuel type to use for your car, KNPC have a nifty guide to help you, check it out [ Here]

Mark August 30, 2016 at 11:48 am - Reply
depends on your car, when I had my old Wrangler TJ it was recommended I fill up with Premium 91 to get the best mileage. With sports cars you’re recommended to fill up with Ultra 98 to get the best performance.

Mark August 31, 2016 at 12:02 pm - Reply
nope u can change and and you can mix if you want. if u fill up half with 91 and half with 98 you’ll get fuel with an octane of 94.5
meh August 30, 2016 at 12:12 pm - Reply
New cars are getting smaller engines, and are fitted with turbo chargers, for example The Audi A4 2016. It’s an affordable car therefore, people who use Ultra do not necessarily shit money.
Mark August 30, 2016 at 12:18 pm - Reply
Well an A4 isn’t really an affordable car, a Corolla is an affordable car, an A4 is an affordable luxury car, that’s not the same. But in any case you don’t have to use Ultra for you Audi A4 anyway, Super is 95 octane which is already higher then Audi’s recommended 91 octane (based on google science) so ultra fuel would be considered splurging.

I drive a Honda city, and based on the table above, the fuel cost increase will cost me less than KD50/year extra in transportation expenses. I’m not losing sleep over it…
meh August 30, 2016 at 1:26 pm - Reply
In that sense a Corolla could be unaffordable for some as well, in any case my point was that ultra users are not necessarily super car drivers, and my basis was on the nifty guide you linked.
Mark August 30, 2016 at 1:37 pm - Reply
A Corolla is considered affordable because its one of the cheapest cars you can buy and not based on my salary or yours.

You need to know when you’re beaten. By your logic the Airbus A318 is an affordable plane since it’s the cheapest Airbus.
Mark August 30, 2016 at 4:46 pm - Reply
I don’t see how that logic is flawed. If I am an airline and I want to purchase a plane and the A318 is the cheapest then that is the most affordable plane the airline can purchase.
When people call the GTR an affordable super car it’s not because everyone can buy it but because compared to all the other super cars it’s the cheapest.
Same way the A4 is considered affordable in the luxury car brand market but isn’t considered an affordable car in general.
meh August 30, 2016 at 5:47 pm - Reply
On what salary are you basing your assumption then? Also, you need to update the post and mention that the KNPC link is not dependable.
Mark August 30, 2016 at 5:54 pm - Reply
I’m not basing it on a salary which is what I’m trying to explain you shouldn’t do because everyone’s salary is different. So if you make a billion bucks a year a Porsche 918 is cheap but if you’re making 1000kd a year a corolla is expensive. I’m basing it by comparing to other cars. So Corolla is 4000kd, A4 is 10,000 which means Corolla is an affordable car.
meh August 30, 2016 at 6:38 pm - Reply
I dunno, I think there’s a big difference between the meaning of cheap and affordable.

Q8D August 31, 2016 at 4:58 pm - Reply
I think you’re mixing your octane ratings.
The US rates their octane based on the AKI system while Europe and Middle East use the RON system
91 RON = 87 AKI
95 RON = 91 AKI
98 RON = 93 AKI
If Audi USA recommends 91 octane fuel as a minimum, then the equivalent octane fuel for this region would be 95 octane.
Also, everyone here seems to be comparing KNPC recommendations with those listed in the manufacturer’s website (which most likely caters to US customers and therefore use the AKI rating system) which is wrong.

For nearly a year in UAE, the fuel prices are regulated on monthly basis. On the 28th of every month, they release the rates applicable for the next month.
Our equation for September is like below
Super 98 – 1.75dhs (currently 1.73)
Special 95 – 1.64dhs (currently 1.62)
E Plus 91 – 1.57dhs (currently 1.55)

Taxi drivers will use this as an excuse to increase their fares for sure. However, bus fares will stay the same as they run on diesel and there is no word of diesel prices being increased anytime soon. The last time this was increased was in 2015, from 55fils/litre to 110fils/litre. ( https://news.kuwaittimes.net/diesel-kerosene-prices-cut-110-fils/ ) .

Not sure KNPC recommendation is accurate. It says that I should use Super in my Santa Fe, but as per manufacturer’s recommendation, Premium is fine. I will go with the manufacturer.

Not sure about KNPC recommendation either. For Mercedes-Benz GLK 2010, KNPC recommends SUPER 95, but the official Mercedes-Benz Owners Manual on p337 says: “Only use premium unleaded gasoline. The octane number (posted at the pump) must be 91 min.” Also, from Mercedes-Benz Customer Help FAQ: “Mercedes-Benz gasoline engines require the use of premium unleaded gasoline (91 octane or higher).”
This is what an “Advanced Engine Development Engineer” at Ford Motor Company said about what happens if you put a higher octane: “In short, nothing. Absolutely nothing (except waste money).” Here is the full article: https://oppositelock.kinja.com/the-real-impact-of-using-wrong-fuel-octane-1785829176

I don’t know how they took this survey but this is not what people are getting paid – even on average.
I have worked in construction, IT and banking.
Construction managers/project managers/heads of dept. make way more than what is listed.
IT manager – if you are an “IT Manager” in a 10 person shop, then yeah; maybe if they counted your salary the average would be low; but I know in banking that is NOT the case. Heads of IT/IT Operations/IT PMs make more than that.
They might have just pulled these numbers out of a hat.

Ranking of fields might be correct for private sector in Kuwait.
I don’t think that the averages are correct. Top managers earn little bit more, and employees earn much less.
I think that this list only helps new students entering college by giving an idea about the most lucrative jobs in the Kuwaiti private sector.

Comparing salaries from sales / marketing with those from the construction industry is like comparing the performance of a motorbike to that of a car . Its irrelevant !
One is a discipline aNd the other is an industry . So obviously this survey was not made for career consulting , and just for fun .

James, if this survey was even remotely correct, it would mean the average employee in most of Kuwait private sectors earn over 70,000 USD a year. This would make it nearly USD 30,000 + more than the average salary of an american which is 46,270 US.
That my friend is a joke. America currently earns the highest average salary, so it is impossible that Kuwait has this level of income. This survey is a joke and I cant believe folks here are still actually asking questions about it :)

This is a survey of the HIGHEST paying jobs in the private sector. Not an average of all salaries in Kuwait.
Take note.
But even a high school teacher here earns over $42,000 a year. So it’s not unreasonable.

actually i can believe these numbers
because of the fact that marketing and advertisement is a very big business especially with the recent ads improvement in Kuwait.
According to my professor in Collage of business administration
the fastest way to earn money is by using creative tools in advertisement!
by looking at the study it’ll be obvious that
it’s what you expect if you are a chief or a high rank position holder in these kind of fields
not a newbie who just started working
currently a Pr’ist makes around 3100$/month ( Kuwaiti) with the government support in the private sector
and makes 3300$ in KUNA
and 2950$ In any other gov. sectors

AR500 armor is a company that focuses on making body armor affordable for the average person. In addition to making affordable gear they have been working hard to make people aware of the legality of body armor. To be clear there is no rules prohibiting you from owning body armor. While it is not inexpensive the cost is much lower than it used to be and is far less than a hospital visit.
This first part of the review will focus on the various types of armour available as well as the differences. For those new to armor plates this is an important starting point.
The Basics of Body Armor
Armor comes in a few varieties but to keep it simple there is soft armor that us usually worn under clothing and typically rated for handguns and there is plate armor that is rated to various rifle speeds.
For a more indepth look at the rating system used you can see the below table.
Soft Body Armor Standards NIJ 0101.03
Level
Tested for:
Comment
II-A
9 mm FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) at ~1,090 fps
(332 mps)
.40 S&W Full Metal Jacket at 1,025 fps
(312 mps)
Minimum Recommended…
…for the vast majority of threats encountered on the street, though you would sustain more blunt trauma injury than Level II or III-A. The thinnest and best for concealability and comfort.
Level II-A has fallen out of favor, so generally a special order item now.
II
9 mm FMJ, at ~1,175 fps
(~358 mps)
.357 JSP at ~ 1,400 fps
(~427 mps).
A great balance…
…between blunt trauma protection, versus cost, and thickness / comfort / concealability. Handles the blunt trauma of higher velocity +P rounds better.
What we recommend most often for concealable wear.
III-A
9 mm FMJ at ~1,400 fps
(~427 mps)
.44 Magnum Semi-Jacketed Hollow Point at ~1,400 fps
(~427 mps).
The highest blunt trauma protection rating in soft body armor. The best for very high-risk situations to cover more of the uncommon or unusual threats.
Minimizes blunt trauma injury to allow more effective return fire.
Hard Body Armor (Plate)
Level

(~869 mps)
The highest rating for Body Armor.
~ 3/4″ Ceramic (18 mm)
~1/2″ Ballistic Steel (12 mm) for vehicle armor
(too heavy for Body Armor)
We are going to focus on Plate or hard armor for this article. The reason for this is that hard armour is often rated to withstand a higher velocity projectiles and it is more affordable. Since most people are going to be using the gear in training classes, ranges and hazardous situations soft armor is likely not going to provide the needed protection.
Be careful when buying armor form retailers as some plates are actually designed to be worn with level II soft armor under them. If you do not intend on wearing soft armor make sure your buying what is classified as “Stand Alone Plates”.
Types of Plate Armor
Ballistic Steel
The heaviest of the plate types and the least expensive. They require the least care when handling. Ballistic Steel is also the thinnest of the plates and will fit in all plate carriers. Thickness varies based on rating from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick (reserved typically for vehicles) and weight varies greatly by manufacturer.
Without additional coatings these types of plate present a real danger of secondary wounding from spall.
Ceramic Plates
More expensive than Steel and less expensive than Polyethylene stand alone plates. Require more thickness than steel to stop a bullet of the same force. Ceramic plates are considerably lighter than steel as well.
Ceramic plates require more care and can actually be broken by being dropped. It can handle the average beating but the corners especially can be sensitive to blunt force. While Ceramic plates are lighter than Steel plates the added thickness can make maneuvering a bit more difficult. Make sure to look for a shooters cut if the armor is intended to be used in a combat situation.
Polyethylene Plates
Ultra light material weighing as little as 1/3rd that of steel. Requires more thickness than Steel or Ceramic to stop ballistic threat with a thickness of roughly 1 inch. This added thickness requires special plate carriers in many cases with extra large pockets. This added thickness also requires a more aggressive shooters cut to allow for proper use of a firearm.
While not prone to breakage like Ceramic Plates, Polyethylene Plates are affected by heat, cold, flame and excessive sunlight. They must not be exposed to temperatures below -15 degrees F or above 150 degrees F. This means for those of us in Michigan they can not be left in your car during most seasons. These plates are also very expensive costing 2 times as much as Ceramic and more than 4 times as Steel.
Mitigating the Risk of Steel
As you can see from above Steel plates offer a thinner solution that is more cost effective. However the nature of the product created a risk of either personal or collateral damage when spall would be created. To combat this risk of spall damage companies like AR500 armour have started to coat steel plates in additional materials.
Ar500 Armor for examples uses a product called PAXCON a division of Line-x (the truck bed spray coaters)a Military grade anti-spall & fragmentation protective coating. For an added $25 they offer a s build up or double spraying of the steel to mitigate the risk of spall further. This Line-X coating completely seals the armor, helping reduce spall and fragmentation; and additionally protects it from chemicals, liquids, and other harsh elements. This fully sealed design combined with the advanced ballistic plate result in a Maintenance Free body armor solution.
This means unlike the other more expensive solutions you can leave the gear in your car, basement or anyplace without risking its integrity when you need it. This gear is perfect for the emergency stash and grab or bug out situation or for those occasional tactical training classes.
We will be testing exactly how much of a difference the added build up makes when we shoot some plates form Ar500 armor late in May.
However this video speaks volumes to what can be done with properly built Steel Plates.

So after being run over, dropped repeatedly it still managed to stop the most common rifle rounds with repeated shots.
Picking the Right Armor for You
Body armor is not for everyone but chances are if you’re reading this you engage in some form of activity or prepping that has made you consider buying some. The type of armor you should buy will depend on 2 critical factors.
Budget
Amount of Use
When looking at a budget I have one goal. Buy quality once to avoid buying a second time. Oddly enough I find that Ar500 armor compared to the competition is actually one of if not the least expensive solution I can find. Further the PAXCON coating they use with additional build up ($25 upgrade) has been proven in numerous videos to offer incredible spall protection mitigating the risk of Steel Armor.
While a larger budget would allow for different materials such as Ceramic or Polyethylene in most cases these are not more beneficial for the casual or emergency user. Many emergency use cases call for the armor to be stored in less than ideal conditions for Polyethylene Plates. While Ceramic Plates may have a place in your kit think seriously on if they are enough of an advantage to justify the cost.
Amount of use imho is the real deciding factor. If you are a police officer, contractor or Bodyguard your needs are going to differ from that of an average joe. The added weight of steel might become an issue and you may find the upgrade to Ceramic is worth the money. The same may be true for tactical instructors who have to wear plate several times a week. If your not wearing it more than once a month and only a few hours each time steel is likely the way to go. If however you are regularly wearing the armor you will have to decide on how much the weight affects your ability to comfortably wear the gear.
Reasons to Wear
The number one reason I would, and do wear armor is because I like my body to have only the holes god gave me. I have no piercings and I intend to keep my body bullet free. Due to the environments I train in, as well as a natural instinct to plan for the future, body armor is a priority for me and the family worth the investment. That being said we are in the minority and most people only buy plates if they “need” them. Typical reasons for plates include:
Training in classes that involve run and gunning
Spend large quantities of time at ranges
Preparing for SHTF or WROL
LEO, Contractor or Bodyguard
Home Defense
Determining what your need for armor is will help in making sure you pick the right kind. For me steel is an easy choice as it is not tempature sensative so can travel in the car easily with me. It is affordable as a full set of plates and a carrier can be had for as cheaply as $125 with a upgraded carrier as little as $175 from http://www.ar500armor.com/plate-carriers/plate-carrier-packages-w-armor.html
Another Point Worthy of Thought
I am not a know it all and learn every day by writing these articles. They take time, training and research to complete and that is what keeps me interested in writing. We do not get paid from sponsors and other than Adsense money from ads on the right column I make no money for running this site so my interest in these topics is really a driving force.
Through training, forums and personal connections 248 Shooter is lucky to bring the benefit of knowledge from NRA instructors, Military. LEO, Contractors, Bodyguards and law abiding citizens serious about training. Here is a quote from a classmate that I felt was worth thinking about.
When people ask me why do you own an “Assault Rifle” or “Body Armor” or “Weapons” my answer is very simple because “I can.”
After the shooting in Connecticut we’ve heard many Americans especially the liberals like Piers Morgan asking “Why do Americans Need an AR-15?”
What many Americans still fail to grasp is the true idea of freedom and how our founding father’s envision the maintenance of freedom.
“Each individual of the society has a right to be protected by it in the enjoyment of his life, liberty, and property, according to standing laws. He is obliged, consequently, to contribute his share to the expense of this protection; and to give his personal service, or an equivalent, when necessary. But no part of the property of any individual can, with justice, be taken from him, or applied to public uses, without his own consent, or that of the representative body of the people. In fine, the people of this commonwealth are not controllable by any other laws than those to which their constitutional representative body have given their consent.” – John Adams Thoughts on Government, 1776
John Adams also said, “It already appears, that there must be in every society of men superiors and inferiors, because God has laid in the constitution and course of nature the foundations of the distinction.”
A lot of knowledge can be derived from both quotes.
Early in my life I found an immense amount of validity in the second quote. Something as simple as a playground fight can bring to light an individuals existence in our world. There will always be humans who’s mutated visions of life lead them to believe they are superior to another being. This may be due to a number of reasons like size, money, power, and strength are a few examples. Those visions or ideas of life lead those individuals to believe they have a right to take whatever they want. There are criminals in our society and always will be. These criminals often come to the conclusion, I take what I want.
Historically this nature of humans is even more evident. Even our own country participated in such acts during it’s building. The atrocities the Native Americans suffered are an example.
Take a look at this line from a famous manuscript that you may know of.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. – Deceleration of Independence
While owning these items is legal, it seems currently possession of these items labels the individual as a domestic terrorist by certain leaders if the individual isn’t military or law enforcement. Due to this fact a far more difficult question to ponder is if and when I may have to use these tools in my defense against individuals misrepresenting this nation I love. The decision to use these tools against criminal individuals who are representing their own ill intentions seems simple enough.
Here it is Plain and simple though owning such tools are a Declaration of my Independence.
James Nurkka in Patriot Defense Training Alumni Group
Our next article will go into the differences of the various plate carriers and how plate should be worn. We encourage you all to research the topic and discuss with your family if having plate is something you want to consider adding to your preps. Compared to the cost of ammo and weapons these days plate is a cost effective way to protect yourself if you feel you may be in a situation that involves gun fire. | msmarco_doc_00_19003789 |

Who's responsible for illegal immigration?
See the main COVID-19 page for what you can do right now to improve the vaccination plans.
Posted Tue, Mar 28, 2006 at 9:26 am · short link
By sending us millions of their citizens, Mexico has managed to obtain political power inside our country.
As shown by the recent marches, that political power can be mobilized - whether in fact by Mexico or just by partisans - into a show of physical force.
The U.S. is faced with a difficult choice: do we give in, or do we decide to enforce our laws and face the consequences.
If we choose the former, we will only embolden the government of Mexico and others who've supported massive illegal immigration, giving them more power inside our country.
If we choose the latter, will those who marched last week decide to riot instead?
With those thoughts in mind, it's going to be helpful going forward to take a look at the groups responsible for getting us into this situation. Some of them include:
* Businesses. Includes manufacturers, growers, banks, and their advocacy groups.
* The Democratic Party. The Democratic leadership apparently sees illegal immigrants as a massive future voting bloc, and in addition that party is built on playing racial politics. Individual Democratic supporters may base their support on psychological factors, such as a fear of being called names or guilt. Democratic leaders and others play on those fears. Others may do so out of petty corrupt grounds, such as those who employ illegal domestic labor.
* The Republican Party. While the GOP leadership will say that they support "immigration" in order to get the "Hispanic vote", the bottom line appears to be... the bottom line. Companies that profit off illegal labor donate to Republican politicians, and those politicians tend to do what is in the best interests of those companies.
* The media. Almost all newspapers and their reporters support illegal immigration. They do that through editorials and frequently by publishing false or biased news reports. The reasons appear to be based in part on leftwing ideology and in part due to business reasons. For instance, in some small towns the local newspaper may support illegal immigration because the town bosses profit off the practice. Larger newspapers may do something similar. Many bloggers also support illegal immigration.
* Racial and leftwing groups. Includes groups such as the National Council of La Raza ("The Race"), MALDEF, the National Immigration Forum, and countless others. Many of those are funded by leftwing foundations and are not grassroots groups. For instance, the Ford Foundation has given MALDEF over $25 million since the latter's founding.
* Ideologues. Very few people support massive immigration out of mostly ideological reasons. However, some libertarians fall into this camp. This group could be ignored except for the fact that they are much more influential than just their numbers would indicate.
* Extremists. There are various people and groups who support and oppose massive immigration largely on racial grounds. All white supremacist groups oppose immigration or illegal immigration because of the race of those immigrating. On the other hand, various Hispanic or Chicano groups support massive illegal for the same reason.
* Churches. They want new parishioners, and they also seem unable to figure out that illegal immigration leads directly to worker abuse.
* The not-yet-informed. Unfortunately, a large number of Americans aren't as familiar with this subject as they could be. They're easily swayed by false arguments, such as those who claim that "guest" workers would in fact be "guests".
-----
On a general note, please contact all your representatives and urge them to oppose any sort of amnesty or "guest" worker scheme. The main Senate Switchboard is (202) 224-3121 or (888) 355-3588. You can also send free FAXes here .

DHS makes Secure Communities nationwide, no opt-out (so far). Lofgren, ACLU, NAKASEC, FIRM, CHIRLA, ICIRR, MIRA, Frank Sharry, NIF outraged. - 08/08/11
From this comes some good news for a change: The Department of Homeland Security notified 39 governors Friday that the fingerprint-sharing program did not need their approval to operate in their states, and said it had voided agreements they had signed to authorize their states' participation, according to a copy of the letter.

FIRM wants civil disobedience to get amnesty? (CCC, Casa de Maryland, NYIC, OneAmerica) - 05/20/10
Per this unconfirmed report, a conference call was held on the 18th in which various pro-illegal immigration groups called for civil disobedience in an attempt to get comprehensive immigration reform (aka amnesty). The groups named are: Fair Immigration Reform Movement, Center for Community Change, New York Immigration Coalition, Casa de Maryland, Churches United to Save and Heal, and OneAmerica: On the call they said: "We've marched, called and faxed. We've shown time and again that there's no bigger movement than ours. Still, our elected officials haven't delivered satisfactory progress on...

RNC's Michael Steele supports amnesty at meeting with far-left, Mexico-linked groups - 04/01/10
Two days ago I posted a notice that Michael Steele of the RNC was going to meet with extremist and Mexico-linked illegal immigration supporters and urged others to contact him suggesting that he handle the meeting in the correct way [1]. Not surprisingly, Steele handled the meeting in the completely incorrect way (link): According to a news release put out by the activists [2], he said he would try and recruit Republican support for comprehensive immigration legislation. The RNC says he made no such commitment. The immigration activist who led the meeting said he did, but then [Steele]...

Far-left wants John Morton fired over immigration quotas memo (also want little or no enforcement) - 03/31/10
Yesterday, Frank Sharry of America's Voice offered "ICE Out of Control: Time to Rein in Rogue Agency and Pass Immigration Reform" [1], showing once again how little use those who support comprehensive immigration reform have for immigration enforcement. One of the selling features of "reform" is increased enforcement, yet "reform" would give even more power to those like Sharry who advocate against enforcement: Today, a group of grassroots leaders are demanding that the Obama Administration fire John Morton, the head of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within the Department...

Michael Steele, extremist and Mexico-linked illegal immigration supporters to meet March 31 (after sit-in) - 03/30/10
RNC chairman Michael Steele will be meeting with a group of far-left illegal immigration supporters on March 31, 2010; the details on who's involved and the backstory is below. Most importantly of all, please take a few moments and try to contact him, his staff, or someone who can get a message to him and suggest that he handles this meeting in the right way. Note: the only two contacts I've found are info *at* gop.com and on Twitter: @ChairmanMSteele but I don't know if the second is really his. The wrong way, of course, would be for the chairman of the Republican Party to agree with far-...

Dream Act re-introduced: you need to organize local efforts to block it - 03/27/09
The anti-American DREAM Act was re-introduced yesterday in the House and the Senate. The bill is an amnesty for a potentially large number of younger illegal aliens, and it would allow those covered under the bill to take college discounts from U.S. citizens. In other words, because of this bill, some U.S. citizens will have their college educations taken away from them by former illegal aliens. Considering that, it's incredibly easy to block the bill and discredit those who support it. The way to do that is to ask a politician who supports the bill the question at the link above, and then...

Obama meets with Congressional Hispanic Caucus over immigration "reform"; trip to Mexico; public forum - 03/18/09
Earlier today, Barack Obama met with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to discuss comprehensive immigration reform. The White House statement is at [1]; an AFP report is here; content-free statements from Luis Gutierrez and Deepak Bhargava of the Center for Community Change are at [2]. So far nothing that shocking or newsworthy has emerged; both Obama and the CHC are strong supporters of giving an amnesty and other benefits to illegal aliens. The only question is how much Obama is willing to push it and when. The two points below indicate that a push might begin in April although whether he...

Mexico linked groups complain about "hate group" FAIR (FIRM, SEIU, America's Voice, NCLR) - 09/11/08
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is currently conducting the "Hold Their Feet to the Fire" rally in Washington DC where radio hosts from across the country and their listeners lobby their representatives to support pro-borders causes. Needless to say, the other side doesn't like that too much, and four such groups have joined together to place a scurrilous advertisement in the Politico and Roll Call. You can see the ad linked from seiu.org/media/pressreleases.cfm?pr_id=1753, which says: Today the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), America's Voice, Center for...

Christine Neumann-Ortiz' monument to low wages, illegal activity - 08/08/07
From [1]: On August 8, a first anniversary commemoration of the raid at Star Packaging will unveil a mock Wisconsin Historical Marker at the site and formally declare the factory's empty shell "a monument to the nation's broken immigration system". Wednesday's 10am press conference, to be held outside the factory, will begin with the unveiling and be followed by brief addresses from speakers including Executive Director of Voces de la Frontera, Christine Neumann-Ortiz, Jorge Islas, Vice President of Sigma America, and workers affected by the raid.

How to Make a Necktie Quilt
24 Blocks
Want to tie something special into your next quilt? How about, well, ties? They can make beautiful patterns and are perfect for making memory quilts if someone has a bunch of old neckties.
Whether you use some old neckties or purchase a handful from the thrift store, the patterns add a unique element to any quilt. We’ve got a few tips to keep in mind while you’re making your masterpiece, which will definitely stand out!
Choose ties strategically. Depending on how you’re using them ñ you could use them to make string blocks or arrange them in a circle as a large centerpiece ñ you might want to make sure the ties are the same size and similar fabric. Same size is more important if you’re putting the ties in a circle and want them to match up (and you might have to do some trimming to make them match), while similar fabric is really helpful if you’re making blocks of different neckties and want them to match somewhat.
Wash and iron the neckties. As Creative Bug suggests, you’ll want to wash all the ties ñ preferably by hand ñ and let them air dry before pressing them with an iron. Neckties are typically made with quality fabric, which is great to work with but also could be too delicate for throwing in the washing machine. Plus, if the ties have been boxed up for a while, they could probably use a good wash.

Decide on your design. The neckties can be used in a ton of different designs, as Love to Know outlines. Sun rays, Dresden plates, patchwork, appliques, circular, or string blocks all are possibilities. Map out the design ahead of time, because it’ll definitely give you a better idea of how many ties you need to get. You could need anywhere between 30 and 80 ties, depending on how prevalent they will be in the pattern.
Research different patterns. If you don’t have an idea right off the bat, then check out some pattern books devoted solely to necktie quilts. Some great resources are Necktie Quilts Reinvented, which has 16 quilt ideas, and Tied Up!, which also features designs for incorporating ties into vests, bags, pillows, and more. Lots of online pattern sites also have necktie quilt inspiration, which offers lots of room for creativity.
title=”How to Make a Necktie Quilt”>
Take out the interfacing. As Answers.com explains, ties are sewn with a woven fabric interfacing that you’ll want to take out. Carefully remove it by using a seam ripper to gently cut through the stitching in the middle of the tie to take out the interfacing.
There are tons of creative ways to use neckties – even just the fabric – in blocks and quilts, so keep them in mind when you’re thinking about making your next quilt!

Brilliant Cut Diamond
Diamond Facets & Facet Names
Modern Brilliant Cut
Often known as the brilliant, round, round brilliant, or "brill.". It has 58 facets, including the table and culet. On this page we discuss the various parts of a round brilliant cut diamond, and the names of each part.
Diamond Parts
The widest part of any round diamond, the part in the middle, is known as the girdle, which is probably quite self explanatory.
The top part, above the girdle is known as the crown, and the lower part below the girdle is known as the pavilion.
The point or small facet at the very bottom is known as the culet.
Each flat face of the diamond is known as a facet, and each type of facet has its own name.
Facet Names
Crown Facets
Table
The largest and most important facet on a round brilliant cut diamond is the table. This is the topmost facet. It is, or should be, a symmetrical octagon.
Star Facets
Immediately surrounding the table, and adjacent to it are the eight star facets. Their name comes from the simple fact that, looking directly downwards, they form an eight pointed star shape around and including the table. On a well-proportioned diamond, the lines formed by the star facet edges will be completely straight. On an old cut diamond, or one with a relatively small table, these lines will appear to "bend" inwards, and with a table which is too large, they will appear to "bend" outwards, although this is not a prime consideration when judging proportion.
Kite or Bezel Facets
The eight facets which reach from the table to the girdle, and which share facet edges with the star facets, are usually known as kite facets, because they are in the shape of a four sided kite, although some people call them bezel facets.
Upper Girdle Facets
These are the sixteen crown facets which run around the girdle, and which also share a facet edge with the kite facets.
Pavilion Facets
Main Pavilion Facets
Also often simply called pavilion facets, these are the eight large four-sided facets which run from the bottom point or culet, to the girdle.
Lower Girdle Facets
These are the sixteen triangular shaped facets on the pavilion side of the diamond, which run around the girdle. They share a facet edge with the main pavilion facets.
Culet
It is usual to regard and count the culet as a facet, even if it is actually a point. Some brillianteers regard it as preferable to polish a very small facet for the culet, in which case it should be octagonal.
The Girdle
In addition to the 58 facets listed above, some diamonds now have their girdles facetted rather than polished. These are not regarded or counted as a facet in the normal sense. Some girdles, particularly on older cut stones, are unpolished, leaving them with a matt finish.
Proportion & Depth
Gives diagrams and simple explanations for the most important aspects of proportion in polished diamonds.

Royal Arms Reverse Design Used on First Pound Coin in 1983
The Return of the One Pound Coin to Circulation
Nickel Brass
The new One Pound coin in base metal, nickel-brass was introduced in 1983, as a replacement for the £1 banknote. Banknotes, being made of paper suffer from wear and tear more readily than metal coins. By 1983, the life expectancy of the £1 note was about 6 months, and that of a coin is about 100 years. The £1 note had become too popular, and was too expensive to produce and replace. Notes are more suitable for higher value denominations where they are handled less, and therefore last longer.
The Gold Sovereign
A £1 coin denomination is not, of course, new. The gold sovereign has been struck from 1489 until 1932, although it started to be replaced during the first world war. It has again been issued intermittently from 1957, although as a bullion and collectors piece rather than for circulation.
An Ugly Duckling?
The £1 coin was not very popular when it first appeared, but this is often the case. It promises to be quite an interesting series, as in its first 16 years it has had 13 different designs, only repeating a previous design in the three years 1990, 1991, and 1992. In my personal opinion, the ordinary nickel brass version is not particularly attractive, but the silver proof versions transform it into an attractive and beautiful collectors piece.

Silver Proof Collections & Piedfort Collections
With each new series of designs, the Royal Mint have issued sets or collections consisting of one of each of the four different national types, but excluding the "normal" design, which uses the Royal Arms.
The first set was from 1984 to 1987 inclusive, and features the four designs of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.
The second set was from 1994 to 1997, and retains the same rotation of countries, but with a new and different reverse design for each.
Each of the two collections is available in silver proof and also in piedfort editions.
Each set is housed in a four-coin case, and comes complete with certificates.
We often have the complete four coin series collections available for sale.

Rather than a single gemstone, garnet is a family of related minerals, some of which occur as gemstones.
Each has a common crystal structure, and a similar chemical composition.
The popular understanding of garnet is as an inexpensive dark red stone. Because it is relatively common and inexpensive, it is often thought of as "only garnet", and as being inferior.
This bias extends to other rare and attractive forms of garnet.
General
Colour
Garnet occurs naturally in a large range of colours including: red, orange, brown, green, yellow, and brown.
Its variability of colour reflects the variations in its composition.
Chemical Composition and Name
Almandite is an iron aluminium silicate, 3FeO . Al2O3. 3Si2
Pyrope is a magnesium aluminium silicate
Spessartite is a manganese aluminium silicate
Andradite is a calcium iron silicate.
Grossular is a calcium aluminium silicate
Uvarovite is a calcium chromium silicate.
Chemical Composition
A general chemical formula would be:-
D3T3(SiO4)3; where D = a divalent metal - calcium, magnesium, ferrous iron, or manganese, and T = a trivalent metal - aluminium, ferric iron, or chromium.
Another way of showing the same composition more clearly would be:-
3DO. T2O3. 3SiO2
Two Families of Garnet
There are two main theoretical groups or "families" of garnet:-pyrope, almandite, spessartite, which are all (metal) aluminium silicates, and
uvarovite, grossularite, andradite, which are all calcium (metal) silicates.
In practice, there are probably very few garnets with the precise pure chemical composition shown for their type, almost all garnets are of mixed types, where one type is partially replaced by another type.
Trade Terminology
In the trade, gem dealers hardly ever refer to their stock as "pyrope" or "almandite". Instead, they will often refer to "brown" or Indian garnets. As we have stated, very few, if any, pure "types" of garnet occur, most specimens approximate to a particular type.
Brown and purpleish "Indian" garnets will usually be towards the pyrope end of the pyrope-almandite axis.
Reddish "African" garnets will usually be towards the almandite end of the pyrope-almandite axis.
Rhodolite garnets are usually about midway along the pyrope-almandite axis.
Demantoid Garnet
Demantoid garnet is a rare and beautiful bright grass green sub-variety of andradite garnet. It appears to have first been discovered around 1892 in the Bobrovka area of Russia.
The Bobrovka is a small tributary of the River Tschussowaja in the Sissersk region on the western side of the Ural Mountains.
It was at first thought to be emerald, which is found nearby, and has been erroneously called "Uralian emerald".
The name demantoid means diamond-like, because it has a very high adamantine lustre, and a colour dispersion higher than diamond. The only disadvantageous property of demantoid is its low hardness figure at about 6.5 Moh. It is the softest of the garnets, and is more suitable for use in brooches, pendants, or ear-rings, rather than rings, because of this.
The brilliant colour of demantoid garnet is due to partial replacement of the silicate by chromic oxide.
A diagnostic characteristic of demantoid is the inclusion of radiating fibres of byssolite (asbestos) fibres in a pattern described as a horse-tail. There is no other green stone which shows this feature.
In late Victorian times, and early in the twentieth century, demantoid became a very sought after stone. It commanded high prices because it has never been available in large quantity. In recent decades, it has been unobtainable as newly mined stones, and has only been available from antique jewellery.
Recently, small finds have again been made in Russia, and a small quantity of fine quality stones have recently come onto the market.
Gemstone lovers wishing to acquire a piece of demantoid garnet should take this opportunity to do so. If the current seams of demantoid run out, there may be another century without new stocks of demantoid becoming available.
Tsavolite Garnet
Tsavolite, previously called tsavorite, is a bright green variety of grossular garnet, its colour being induced by the presence of chromium.
Topazolite
A name used for a variety of garnet with a topaz-yellow or an olive green colour.
Magnetism
Some types of garnet, particularly the reddish "African" garnets, which are usually found in close association with diamonds, showing distinct magnetism.

Cauliflower Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash
in Entrées, Gluten Free, Paleo, Veganon 12/01/14
I officially overdid it for Thanksgiving. Please tell me I’m not alone. Every year during the holidays I try to convince myself that I’m not going to go overboard but I have a leetle problem with self control when it comes to holiday feasting. I definitely did not follow any sort of elimination or skin-friendly diet, but I’m ready to get back on track for the next couple of weeks (in preparation for more Christmas eating of course!).
My favorite part of our Thanksgiving meal was a gluten free apple crisp that I made using Cookie and Kate’s recipe. It was the best apple crisp I’ve ever made, and I’ve been making apple crisp almost every year for Thanksgiving so that’s saying a lot! Even if you’re not gluten free you’ll love this crisp.
Before I went home for Thanksgiving, I tried to fill up on as many veggies as I could, and the result was this cauliflower rice stuffed acorn squash.
It’s so easy to make cauliflower rice, which is a great substitute for regular rice if you are trying to eat grain free. To make cauliflower rice, it’s easiest with a food processor, but you could also use a large cheese grater. Make sure you do this while the cauliflower is still raw.
This dish is perfect for using up all your seasonal veggies- winter squash, cauliflower and kale. I love using dried cherries or cranberries and chopped pecans in almost any fall or winter dishto add some extra flavor and crunch. This dish is easy peasy!
What was your favorite part of your Thanksgiving meal?

Author: 24 Carrot Life
Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: Gluten Free, Vegan, Paleo
Serves: Serves 4
Ingredients
Roasted Acorn Squash
2 acorn squashes, cut in half lengthwise and seeds scooped out
olive oil and salt
Cauliflower Rice
1 head of raw cauliflower, chopped into florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 sweet onion, chopped
4 stalks of curly kale, stem removed and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Garnish
chopped roasted pecans, dried sour cherries or cranberries, and parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Rub olive oil on squash halves and sprinkle with salt. Place cut side up on a baking sheet and roast for about 45 minutes-1 hour, or until soft throughout (you can test with a fork).
While squash is cooking, add cauliflower florets to a food processor and pulse until rice-like in texture. You may need to do this in small batches so you are not left with large pieces.
Add olive oil to a large pan and heat over medium heat. Once oil is hot but not smoking, add chopped onion, and cook until soft and transluscent.
Add cauliflower rice and kale to the pan and stir. Cook for about 3 minutes more, or until kale is soft.
Spoon rice mixture into squash halves and top with chopped pecans, dried fruit, and parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
If you do not have a food processor you can use a large cheese grater to make cauliflower rice.

I totally went overboard on Thanksgiving, too. We stayed home this year so, smoked a turkey and some ribs and then I made enough sides to feed a crowd. And it was just my boyfriend and I! The leftovers are finally gone and I can say that I’m ready to start eating some healthier meals. And this one looks like a good one to start with! LOVE it!

Spring Cleaning with the Advocare Cleanse
Time for Spring Cleaning with the
Advocare Cleanse!
You’ve cleaned your closets, behind the fridge, and under the bed, what’s left? Your body! Now is the time to use the Advocare 10-day Cleanse to rid your body of the build-up of harmful toxins that can leave you feeling a little sluggish. You may try to eat healthy, but environmental pollution; as well foods that seem ok sneak toxins into our bodies. Something as simple as a piece of cheese or bread can upset the delicate yeast balance in our guts; or that healthy piece of fruit that wasn’t organic, left pesticide residue in most of your organs including your liver.
The Advocare Cleanse is specially formulated to target and balance of organisms in your gut, support and cleanse your liver, and eliminate waste that is hanging around in your intestines. Getting rid of the toxins and waste in your body leads to more efficient digestion and weight loss. The cleanse is like a reset button on your health.
Healthy Bacteria
The Advocare Cleanse includes ProBiotic Restore to be taken on days four through ten. Probiotics repopulate your gut with healthy bacteria. Healthy bacteria are needed in large quantities in our bodies to keep the bad bacteria in check.
The Advocare Cleanse replenishes your body with healthy bacteria; it contains four billion colony forming units of the healthy bacteria Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Lactobacillus is present in our digestive tract; it creates lactic acid making the environment inhospitable for bad bacteria.
Bifidobacterium are one of the primary strains of bacteria in our colons; they are also found in our guts. Probiotics also help our immune systems; scientists haven’t figured out exactly how, but a healthy bacterium level in the gut does support a strong immune system.
Antibiotics prescribed by your doctor don’t discriminate between good and bad bacteria; they just kill them all. Your digestive system cannot function correctly without adequate numbers of intestinal bacteria. Some of the meats we eat have been treated with antibiotics and trace amounts remain affecting the bacteria levels in our bodies. The Advocare 10-day Cleanse restores these bacteria to healthy levels whether we have intentionally taken antibiotics or not.
Liver Support
The Herbal Cleanse tablet, also a component of the Advocare Cleanse, is formulated with beet juice and milk thistle to clean out toxins from your liver. The liver acts like a filter for your whole body; vitamins, prescription pills, over the counter medications, alcohol, caffeine, and many other “toxins” pass through the liver. Over time these toxins can cause build-up and damage this vital organ; beet juice cleans impurities from your liver and blood; while milk thistle protects healthy liver cells from damage. Studies show that milk thistle may also help regenerate a damaged liver by stimulating new cell growth.
Cranberry extract is also a key ingredient of the Herbal Cleanse tablet that is taken on days one through seven of the Advocare 10-day Cleanse. Cranberry coats the inside of the urinary tract (kidneys, bladder, and urethra) so that harmful bacteria cannot attach themselves and multiply. Instead, bad bacteria are just rinsed out with the rest of the waste. Store-bought cranberry juice contains tons of sugar; instead of helping to rid the body of certain bacterium, cranberry juice cocktail feeds the bad microorganisms!
Waste Management
Take the Advocare Cleanse Fiber Drink to add some extra fiber to your diet on the first three days and the last three days. Health experts say fiber is like a broom that sweeps all the junk out of your intestines. Fiber comes in two main forms: insoluble and soluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and insoluble fiber does not dissolve so it physically pushes waste through your system. Soluble fiber ferments in your colon and produces healthy prebiotics that feed probiotics. Fiber cleans residue from the walls of your intestines so other nutrients you eat can be absorbed through the lining. People that consume high fiber diets are reminded to drink extra water to aid in elimination because fiber absorbs some water!
The Advocare fiber drink contains a combination of both types of fiber. This component of the cleanse can help you drop pounds of waste that are left behind in you colon and intestines. Fiber also helps you lose weight by keeping you feeling full so you eat less; plus your body is able to absorb more nutrients out of less food.
The Advocare Cleanse is formulated with other healthy ingredients to support your immune system and give you energy. The 10-day cleanse is very effective and it is suggested to use it every three months. This detoxifying cleanse rids your body of impurities and extra waste and supplies you with the elements you need to be healthy.
Being healthy on the inside makes you glow on the outside. It’s time to hit the reset button on your health!
Your Health and Wellness Coach,
Joanna Bostwick

AdvoCare Compensation Plan
What is the…
AdvoCare Compensation Plan?
I wanted to break down the AdvoCare compensation plan so it’s easier to understand and you can see exactly how you make money with AdvoCare.
First off -You need to become a distributor. More information on becoming a distributor can be found at how to become a distributor.
Distributor cost: $59 plus tax and shipping
How do you get paid with AdvoCare?
Good Question…
If you want to make money with AdvoCare 5 different ways (yes 5 ways!) you must become what is called an Advisor.
Becoming an Advisor can be reviewed at this post How to Become an Advisor
Since AdvoCare is a direct sales model company, it’s important to understand the compensation plan before starting the business.
For a quick overview, AdvoCare Independent Distributors get paid 2 different ways and AdvoCare Advisors get paid 5 different ways.
There are benefits of Joining AdvoCare as a Distributor and as an Advisor:
Distributors:
Retail Profits
Wholesale Earnings
Advisors:
Retail Profits
Wholesale Earnings
Incentives
Overrides
Leadership Bonuses
1. Retail Profits:
Kind of a no brainer but let me explain…When you join AdvoCare as a distributor, you will receive your own website from AdvoCare to shop from and have others shop from. It will look just like mine (with your pic of course)
My AdvoCare Shop
Depending on your total order amounts will depend on what percent of a discount you get. Here is a chart showing you the different discount levels:
Most people start at the 20% off level unless they want to be a business builder and shoot right to the 40% off level then they make an Advisor Order (this is my recommended Advisor Order)
So to recap the benefits of being a distributor you can purchase products at a discount and then sell those products for the retail amount and keep the difference.
2. Wholesale Commissions
Let’s say someone signs up under you as a distributor and then places an order. Depending on their discount level you receive the difference between their discount and 40%. So if your friend signs up and is at the 20% off discount level and places an order you earn 20% of that order.
Whatever their discount level is, you earn the difference up to 40%.
The next 3 levels of earning is for Advisors Only
3. Incentives:
The first incentive available to Advisors is the Rookie Bonus Incentive. After you become an Advisor you have three pay periods to recruit 3 new distributors and get a total of $3000 in group sales.
By doing this you get an additional $500! This is an excellent incentive for new Advisors.
Other incentives include all expense paid vacations and other bonuses that AdvoCare provides to qualified Advisors.
4. AdvoCare Overrides
Overrides are residual income bonuses that are earned by Advisors who are in a leadership level in AdvoCare.
Overrides are calculated by your business volume under you and all of your Advisors through 3 levels.
Business volume is approximately 50% of all volume and then that is multiplied by a percentage depending on your level. Overrides pay up to 7% of the Business Volume under EACH Advisors group up to 3 levels deep.
5. Leadership Bonuses
Leadership Bonuses tie into Overrides but is still an additional way to get paid through AdvoCare.
In order to qualify for leadership bonuses you qualify at different “pin levels”. The great thing with leadership bonuses is that they go on beyond the 3 levels that you get with the overrides.
These levels are as follows:
The AdvoCare Compensation Plan
How to get to Silver in AdvoCare:
Silver is the first level in AdvoCare where you can begin to take advantage of the Overrides and Leadership bonuses mentioned above. For Silver you will get an additional 3% bonus in leadership and an average of $100 in override.
So for the silver pin level you need at least $3000 in retail volume under 1 or more advisors combined. This level averages about $12,651 per year.
The above picture explains how to Reach the Silver level in Advocare
The Next Level in AdvoCare is the Gold Level:

As your increasing volume in your business through Advisors under you, if you accumulate $15,000 in retail volume you will hit the Gold Level and get additional 2% leadership bonus (plus the 3% silver bonus so your at 5%!). You are also at an average of $500 additional in overrides.
Gold 3 Star is the next level and this is similar to the first 2 but your adding width to hit this leadership level.
For Gold 3 Star you need:
3 Legs of Advisors with a total volume of $15,000 and each have a minimum of $3000 in volume under them. Add another 2% and your at 7% leadership bonus. You also are at an average of $500 additional in overrides.
The next AdvoCare level is Ruby:
With Ruby you need a cumulative amount of retail volume to be at a minimum of $30,000. Below is a 1 year example of what could happen hitting Ruby. This pays out an average of $81,967 a year. You have also added another 2% to your leadership bonus total. Your overrides are approximately $1000.
Now let’s talk about 6 Star Ruby:
This is very similar to 3 star Gold but you need to have 6 qualified legs and a total retail volume of $30,000. You get an additional 2% in leadership bonuses and your approximate override is $1000.
The next level is Emerald which pays out an average override of $2000 plus an additional 2% in leadership Bonus. Your leadership bonus is up to 13% at this point. Overrides are not included in that percentage. You must have a cumulative retail volume of $60,000 and it pays out an average of $192,108 at this level.
Next on the Advocare Pay Plan is Emerald 9 star:
Similar to the other star leg levels in that you need 9 qualifying legs that add up to $60,000 in retail volume and get an additional 2% leadership bonus. This level pays out an average of $276,729 a year.
After Emerald comes Diamond:
This level pays an additional 4% in leadership bonus and an average of $4000 in overrides. So now you are up to 19% in leadership bonuses at the diamond level.
You need a retail volume of $120,000 in your organization under advisors. The diamond distributor makes an average of $615,717 a year!
After Diamond comes Platinum:
With Platinum you need an overall retail volume of $240,000 from advisors. Your approximate overrides are $8000 a pay period and you get an additional .25% in leadership bonuses.
The Average Platinum distributor makes $1,071,550 in commission per year.
Then Double Diamond and Triple Diamond each add another .25% leadership bonus and
Double Diamond your override is approximately $12,000 or more in volume and you have at least 24 advisor legs generating that $12,000 in overrides.
Triple Diamond distributors need 36 legs and get an additional .25% in leadership bonuses added on. Your approximate override is $24,000 and the average commission is $$1,071,550 or higher.
Please keep in mind that the average incomes per level change slightly from year to year.
AdvoCare is very much about helping others get results which in turn helps you get results. I also appreciate the fact that someone who signs up under you can pass you in levels. So it really comes down to you and how much you want to work the business to earn the income you want to earn.

What to upgrade your Minecraft playing experience? Want to further develop your Minecraft environment? Default 3D Resource Pack for Minecraft is the solution.
Most of Minecraft players are being hooked not only with the game itself, but also the way it looks. It is undeniably true that the basic and blocky view of the game is something that attracts interest of players. However, this isn’t always the case. Some players easily get bored with that and so dressed up those textures with numerous resource pack. Though, some players like those vanilla look which they prefer to remain on the game while modifying the rest of the game appearance.
This can be possibly done through the use of Default 3D resource pack which specifically designed to add dimensions to the Minecraft through raising items located on the faces of various common blocks.
What is a Default 3D?
Default 3D is an additional resource pack for the Minecraft’s Default look which consist both 3D item and 3D block models that is nearly similar with the default one. It enhances the similar default feeling simply through adding certain degree of depth to most items and blocks present on the game. Occasionally, some blocks will portray something different on its appearance which is the result of using blockstates. For example, those lily pads occasionally will have pink, red or white lily on them. In addition, there may be shells on ocean floor and random pebbles, berries and twigs on the ground.
Default 3D is aesthetically loyal to Minecraft’s default look as well as to the other resource pack of the like. Performance-wise, this nibbles away approximately 30% from the FPS you have. What’s great with this Default 3D Resource Pack 1.9 is that you have the freedom to personalize the pack in a very easy way. You can disable models that you are not happy with and enable those that you want. This is made possible through the “Disabled by Default” feature of this resource pack.
How Default 3D Resource Pack Works?
For starters, take your crafting table. You can saw there a saw, clippers and some other items which are as flat as the rest of Minecraft stuffs. Default 3D resource pack will make some item on the table pop through elevating them. This items will appear not just shapes painted on locks, but looks like a real items hanging out there.
This is a great way of making those old textures appear new and fresh again. It’s not only the stuffs in your table which can be enhanced, everything that can be found in Minecraft, from dirt to clouds, could be facelift.
However you are not forced to modify all of Minecraft’s texture if you didn’t want to. Default 3D has specific instruction about installing either few or every new feature available, the same with different texture for selected items and blocks which you can use to replace the standard one. Unlike those simpler resource pack, this one does more great and take on your old favorite.
How to install Default 3D Resource Pack?
* Make sure you’re using 14w30a or a future version of Minecraft.
* Open your resource pack folder.
* Download the resource pack.
* Open the downloaded .zip file.
* Drag the folder inside the .zip into your resource pack folder.
* Put the resource pack into your ‘Selected Resource Packs”.

Dragon Block C Mod Videos review :
Usages:
Every key is configurable
The Ki “energy” System gives 3 new configurable keys.
The default is “C” for Charge Ki but only if you have a scouter or “hair” equipped.
“X” for power jump and just like Charge Ki this also needs a scouter or “hair” equipped.
“G” for ascending if you have a Black or Purple Saiyan Hair equipped and you have at least 30 “Ki” item in your inventory gained from “Charge Ki” key, the Black or Purple Saiyan hair will change in to Super Saiyan hair if you hold the button for about 5-10 seconds.
For now it does give a blast boost to KameHame Wave and higher Jump ability for more Ki, Faster Flight and Dash boost too.
“H” You can now Descend if you dont want to stay Super.
“F” For Flight. Ive made it a little odd so it will be changed. but for now it works ^^
“Ctrl” will allow you to float if you flied up and dont want to fall down.
“R” allows you to use “dash” or it may be called a fast run function.
“F4″ Scouter Function Key that switches the functions of your Scouter
Right-Click on the Space pod after placing it, press on, then press a number which represents the world where you want to go, after then press the start. Now you must walk in the space pod and you are there ^^
“L” is the Saga System key. Press it to see the current to do, then click on the X down if your done.
Wishing: put 7 Dragon Blocks in H form on ground and right click the middle one to summon the Dragon.
If you have enough ki and you punch an enemy with fist then you will do more damage.

Extra Utilities Mod (1.12.2/1.10.2/1.7.10) – Extra convenience
Extra Utilities Mod 1.12.2/1.10.2/1.7.10 are very useful and add a lot of extra convenience, but there are also a few relatively light-hearted utilities and items that are designed mainly for the sake of enjoyment and don’t really add any actual depth to the gameplay, for example, the chandelier.
It adds an assortment of random items and blocks that can be very useful: low-lag pumps and quarries, power/fluid/item transport pipes, automation, storage (item and liquid), decoration, mob traps and farming, building, and much more.
Extra Utilities Mod is a completely “Random” mod, so much, that its creator defined it as the result of joining a lot of random things that the author needed as he was playing the game, with or without other mods installed, that is, we find blocks and objects that are intended for Minecraft “Vanilla”, while others are designed to work with other mods.
The diversity of elements that adds the mod and the little connection that some of them may have with the rest, makes it difficult to explain roughly its content, though, you will find things like machines, wiring, connections, luggage, weapons, decorative elements, conveyor belts, among other things.
Another utility the mod provides is compressing cobblestone, sand, gravel and dirt. Cobblestone can be compressed 8 times with Septuple and Octuple Compressed cobblestone being resistant to the Wither. Dirt is compressible 4x whereas sand and gravel are only compressible twice.
The mod also provides low-lag alternatives to the Quarry and Pump through the Ender Quarry and Ender-Thermic Pump respectively. It also adds a low-lag fast cobblestone generator alternative, in the form of a Transfer Node with a Mining Upgrade. One of the secondary objectives of the mod appears to be to provide an alternative method of doing various normally high lag tasks, in an efficient a manner as possible.
The mod adds a new dimension: The Deep Dark – designed for mining, with vanilla ores spawning at 2x rates. Be Warned! In the Deep Dark darkness is damaging. Mobs can spawn at all light levels in the Deep Dark, although Magnum Torchs and Chandeliers will prevent spawning as normal.
Onto the actual utilities of the Extra Utilities Mod 1.10.2 /1.11.2, first and foremost you have the colored blocks. The mod takes the regular in-game bricks and implements 16 different color variants of those bricks to give players a whole lot of extra variety that they can depend on during construction tasks.

Fairy Lights Mod 1.14.4/1.12.2/1.11.2/1.10.2 Decorative String Lights
Lights in Minecraft can quickly bore you, becoming monotonous and simple over time. They serve an essential, basic purpose, but you want something prettier and more inviting in your worlds. That is where the Fairy Lights Mod for Minecraft can come in handy.
It gives you lights that look good and can go on nearly any flat surface. While they are not the best sources of light, they do provide enough to make them usable and valuable. Their real advantages come when you make designs out of them and have fun with their appearances. There is so much that you can do with these little lights.
A Light Source
A few light sources already exist around Minecraft, like torches. If you have played long enough, though, you know that these can get boring. You do not want torches for everything, that is not always practical or attractive. You want to switch it up sometimes, something you can do easily with the Fairy Lights Mod. This mod gives you fairy lights – those little lights on strings. Similar to Christmas lights, they are pretty and offer a decent amount of lighting.
That lighting is not the best in the game. There are better sources of lighting available, including the ones already available. However, what you get is more than a light source. The mod offers a beautiful addition to any home, cave, outdoor space, or anywhere else you would like to hang them.
Beauty for All to See
You might not get much as light sources, but you get a lot as decorative additions to any space, indoor or outdoor. On their own, they look nice. You can do simple outdoor lighting or Christmas lights, as examples. If you want to take it a step further, though, you can begin customizing them. Custom make the looks of the lights to your desires. Make them into words, flowers, or anything else that comes to mind. There are no limits to what you can do here.
Simple All the Way
From making to designing, there is very little for you to do. The mod is simple in every way and makes for a great lighting and decorating option. You do not have to use a lot of materials nor do you have to go through numerous steps. It is something you can start doing right now.
The Fairy Lights Mod for Minecraft is a must have mod. Light up an area and beautify it – all without a lot of work necessary.
Recipes:
In order to craft Fairy Lights you first must craft the lights. Lights come in six standard variants, fairy light, paper lantern, orb lantern, flower light, ornate lantern, and oil lantern. There are also 4 spooky lights, spider light, ghost light, jack o’lantern, skull light, witch light, snowflake light, icicle light, and meteor light. The weedwood lantern is a bonus light from The Betweenlands.
Fairy lights are crafted by a horizontal combination of iron ingot, string or stick, iron ingot, along with any combination of lights to specify a pattern (top-down, left-right). If glowstone is included the fairy lights will twinkle. If string is used there will be slack in the connection and if a stick is used the connection will be straight. The fairy lights item will only show the first four light colors, but the most lights that can be crafted is eight by placing a fairy lights in a crafting table with eight lights.
Here are the light recipes and some example fairy lights recipes. The red dye in the light recipes can be any dye.
Spooky & Bonus Lights:
Vine & Tinsel Garland:
Vine and tinsel garland are placed just like the string lights. The tinsel can be dyed any color.
Usage:
Right click on the side of a block, or an existing fastener, to place a fastener, now there will be a connection from the fastener to you. From then you right click on another side of a block, or an existing fastener, to complete the connection.

Familiars Mod for Minecraft
Familiars Mod for Minecraft adds familiar to Minecraft. A Familiar is a kind of protector / companion that always follows the player. They are not tameable like dogs and do not occur in the wild.
About Familiars Mod:
The Familiar mod includes a little familiar for the player, so it’s not always so lonely in SSP.
A Familiar is a kind of protector / companion that always follows the player.
They are not tameable like dogs and do not occur in the wild. These can be equipped like items / armor, Dungeon Defenders has inspired me.
The creatures do not only fly someone behind they also have a passive/active skill (attack by mobs, heal the player etc).
Some are not available from the beginning, you need to unlock them first (buy with XP or unlock achievements)
This mod is an API too (tut comes soon), so anyone might make a complete MLP Familiar Pack or Pokemon or something

If you’ve played Minecraft long enough for the weather to change, you probably have noticed there really isn’t much of a difference. If you play Minecraft with no mods, it doesn’t matter whether the weather outside if snowing, raining, etc., it doesn’t really have any effect on your character or gameplay.
Actually, the only effects the weather might have is on other mods you might be using, but that’s only a small margin of players. The Localized Weather & Stormfronts Mod changes how the weather effects your gameplay and character even though it doesn’t change the actual weather of Minecraft too much. You will even be able to see the storms and changes of weather from far away so you can prepare for them and they don’t just appear out of nowhere.
If you are using mods which will be affected by Minecraft’s weather, it might not really matter to you but at least you’ll have a way of seeing the weather coming. It adds an under layer of realism to Minecraft, which is pretty rare. The Localized Weather & Stormfronts Minecraft add on will let you be able to actually look up at the sky and see what kind of weather is heading your way, or already upon you. In normal, mod free Minecraft, you can’t see any type of weather comings towards you and it just pops up randomly without warning, no matter the time of day. (At least the snow stays where it should be.)
What Else Does It Do?
The Localized Weather & Stormfronts Mod 1.10.2 actually changes up the blocky, normal clouds you’d see and replaces them with clouds that actually move, shift, and swirl just like real clouds. Yes, there is even particle based rain and snow. Get this, the rain and snow actually move along with whatever direction the wind is moving. Yes! This Mod even adds wind to Minecraft! If you want to, you can change the weather by using a weather machine block. The weather machine block can create blizzards, localized storms, and other such weather effects anywhere you’d like.

Weather2/ConfigMisc.cfg helpfull configurations
Storm_CloudSpawnDelay – PERFORMANCE HELPER: set to somewhere between 5-10 to significantly reduce the amount of cloud particles spawned, should boost framerate if your computer cant handle it.
Storm_IntensityAmplifier – greatly changes how wild the storms will get, set to over 10 for an “apocalypse mode” like situation of many many tornadoes
Storm_Tornado_RefinedGrabRules – set to false to use old block grab rules for tornado (makes them carve into ground like old ways), new ways just strips trees and doesnt harm ground, might also leave wood planks alone i cant remember right now.
Thread_Particle_Process_Delay – set to higher than to slow down the thread that scans around for blocks to enhance with particles, will however impact on visual sexyness

Meat Hooks (Butcher) Mod for Minecraft
Meat Hooks (Butcher) Mod for Minecraft add new features that will make your Minecraft world more interesting. You will never find your Minecraft world boring anymore!
What is Meat Hooks (Butcher) Mod?
This mod replaces the normal drops of cows chickens and pigs with an item version of them. You must then hang the dead cow/chicken/pig on a meat hook and use a filet knife to skin them then use a cleaver to obtain the meat/leather/feathers that they would normally drop. Make sure you build a freezer with ice blocks if you plan on storing your meat, if you don’t it will rot very quickly after being placed, alternatively you can smoke them with lava which will also preserve them. Ice blocks must be directly touching the animal or lava can be up to 5 blocks below it to prevent rot. Meat will eventually rot if you carry it around with you, so place it in an ice chest to preserve it. You can now also cook your animals on a spit over a fire! see the screen shot for how to set up a spit. To cook your animal left click the prop and the animal will start to rotate. If you don’t have it rotating it will burn, you can also skin your animal on a hook first then take it off and put it on a spit to cook it faster than animals that still have skin. You can also kill zombies and hang them on meat hooks.

Mermaid Tail Mod [1.16.3/1.15.2 ] for Minecraft
Mermaid Tail Mod 1.16.3/1.15.2 allows the players to dive deep underwater with the assistance of a mythical creature part being the Tail of Mermaids. What’s a better way to explore the deep blue sea than to modify your lower-body to a mermaid tail. The Mod comes with a unique artifact, which allows whoever is wearing them to completely transform into a mermaid upon contact with the water surface. Of course, there are a few benefits with being mermaid other than being visually satisfying, such as:” Faster swimming, underwater-breathing, fishes won’t be scared by you.”. There is also an option to modify your mermaid tail color further by adding a variety of color schemes.
Screenshots:
Ariel
Ordinary skin
Standing
The available tail styles are ariel, fish, plain, rainbow, and shark:
The style is chosen by the player’s skin having the pixel at (1, 0) set to one of the following colors:
The tail is tinted to the color of the pixel at (0, 0) unless the style is unknown and then the tint is the average color of the body’s front’s bottom eight pixels. This allows for a good tail without the need to change your skin.
An example Ariel skin:
