Choosing a loyal companion is one of the most important decisions a pet owner can make. Each year, the American Kennel Club tracks dog registrations to see which breeds are the most popular in the United States. For 31 years straight, from 1991 to 2021, the Labrador retriever has topped the list—but recently, a new breed has been occupying the #1 spot. Stacker used the AKC's 2024 rankings, released on March 19, 2025, to compile the 100 most popular breeds out of the total 2...
For assistance forming an LLC with your State's Secretary of State, we recommend visiting Signature Filing. They will help you file it quickly and completely online. Sometimes a limited liability company, or LLC, has a year with no business activity. For example, a newly formed LLC might not have started doing business yet, or an older LLC might have become inactive without being formally dissolved. However, even if an inactive LLC has no income or expenses for a year, it...
For assistance forming your corporation or writing corporate bylaws, we recommend that you utilize the services of Signature Filing. File easily online at a minimal cost. Whether it's for sales meetings, trade shows, or conferences, travel is important for any business. But with increasing costs and a remote work model, corporate travel has become more complicated than ever. This is why a corporate travel policy, or a set of guidelines to ensure your team is efficient with...
At least 27 people were killed and more than 130 injured when the roof of the Jet Set nightclub collapsed in Santo Domingo early Tuesday, local officials said. The Jet Set nightclub roof collapse in Santo Domingo occurred during a performance by Rubby Pérez, a renowned Dominican merengue singer known for hits like "Buscando Tus Besos." Octavio Dotel, a former MLB pitcher who won a World Series and logged 36 saves in 2004 with the Astros and A's, was among those rescued from...
It appears that amidst the Trump Tariffs and all that stock market volatility, the Trump Administration is also actively preparing for a military conflict with Iran and its Revolutionary Guard Corps. The U.S. typically maintains 156,000 troops overseas, but the post highlights a significant increase to 300,000 in the Middle East, aligning with a Haaretz report of 140 heavy transport aircraft delivering equipment to the region in March 2025, signaling a major military buildup....
China's non-tariff barriers (NTBs) are a significant hurdle for international trade, often more impactful than its tariffs, which have dropped considerably over the years (averaging around 3.5% today). NTBs are tough to quantify precisely because they're not as straightforward as a tax-think opaque regulations, sudden inspections, or licensing rules that seem to shift depending on who's asking. But their effects are real and hit hard, especially for countries like the U.S....
It won't surprise most people to hear that healthcare isn't one-size-fits-all. According to the Thatch 2025 Health Insurance Industry Trends report, businesses prioritize customizable health plans, and 31% of employees desire more flexibility in their benefits. This highlights a major issue with traditional group health insurance—it often lacks the flexibility small businesses want, and the cost can prevent owners from meeting their employees' diverse needs. In fact, T...
Jessica Maier, an art history professor at Mount Holyoke College and mother of three, realized about three years ago that something was missing—even though her days were always busy and close to bursting with tasks and responsibilities. "I felt like all I was doing was being stressed all the time, thinking about other people, like my kids, or working," she told Stacker. Remembering a pottery class she took years ago in high school, "on a whim," Maier signed up for a new c...
If you take a stroll through a Pittsburgh city park, you might come across Hobo the donkey and his crew of 12 goats scrambling up an embankment or chowing down on poison ivy. Keep your dog on a leash, though, because Hobo doesn't like canines, and he takes his job as protector of the herd very seriously. If he senses danger, he will round everyone up, then stomp, kick and bite to deter any predator that he deems a threat to his pals and the job they've been commissioned to do....
If you're headed to the airport soon, you might want to double-check your identification. Starting May 7, 2025, every resident (18 years or older) of a U.S. state or territory attempting to board a commercial aircraft will need to present security with a Real ID license or identification card, or another acceptable form of identification such as a passport. If you're not able to present a Real ID-compliant card to a Transportation Security Administration agent, you won't be...
Two white men in their 60s live hundreds of miles away from each other, one in Arizona and the other in Washington state. They are the same age and have identical socioeconomic backgrounds. They also have similar habits and are in roughly the same physical shape. But the man in Arizona is aging more quickly than the man in Washington — 14 months faster, to be exact. Neither man smokes or drinks. Both exercise regularly. So why is the subject living in the desert Southwest m...
You know those workers at the polling place who help you cast your ballot each election? There are elections for them, too. This year, voters across Pennsylvania will have a chance to choose the people who will staff their polling locations for the next four years, Votebeat explains. In most states, these workers are appointed, but in Pennsylvania, the people who oversee voting at the precinct level are elected officials with four-year terms. Historians say it has been this...
Every Friday at around 6 p.m., farmers in Greensboro, Vermont, descend on Tom Hill's barn to help out with the Friday evening milking session. As udders are emptied and beers popped open, they catch up on each other's families and talk about the joys and struggles of the vocation they share. The weekly gathering is a community tradition. The bonds between these farmers, formed over many decades and spanning multiple generations, have become even more precious as farms consolid...
In the United States, receiving mental healthcare is quite common. More than 1 in 5 U.S. adults (21.6%) received mental health treatment in 2021, with the rate closer to 1 in 4 (23.2%) among those under 45. The percentage of those seeking treatment has steadily increased since 2019, but stigma still keeps many people from accessing the care they need. In 2022, over 60% of those surveyed by the Kaiser Family Foundation and CNN said that stigma and shame pose barriers to...
A new quarter-cent sales tax aimed at funding homelessness programs in Los Angeles County starts on Tuesday. This increases the county's base sales tax from 9.5% to 9.75%. This change comes shortly after a federal judge raised concerns about how previous homelessness funds were used. Such timing has sparked worries about transparency, especially since there have been indications that millions in public funds may have been mismanaged by agencies meant to tackle homelessness. Th...
Santa Monica's City Council thinks the city is just fine. One councilmember called the homeless residents our neighbors, their wants and desires equivalent to those of people who pay rent and pay taxes. The 'freedom' of some, most of whom suffer from drug addiction and mental illness, to live in filth, disease and to commit crimes with impunity, is valued over the ability of the rest of society to live healthy lives in law and order. Watch the videos shot and distributed by...
Spring is here, and some local students are on the beach. Others are playing soccer, while still others are raising money for special causes. Aria, Shanti and Sequoyah have been selling arts and crafts to raise money for a cause near and dear to their hearts. "The girls chose these specific crafts," explained Aria's mom, Kathy, "because the three of them typically work well together. They are all very skilled in creativity and bringing ideas to life," she said. "What they...
We found a seal suffering on Santa Monica beach Saturday. Her stomch was undulating, and she was apparently unable to move away from the waves. We called a rescue organization, and also a marine biologist. "I’d be happy to explain what’s happening to that poor seal in simple terms," he said. "Domoic Acid Toxicosis is a condition caused by a natural toxin called domoic acid, which is produced by certain types of microscopic algae (specifically, a group called diatoms). The...
