President Obama graciously thanked himself for cheap gasoline at a rally in Philadelphia for Hillary Clinton on Tuesday.

To hear him tell it, “Let’s face it; Republicans don’t like to hear good news right now.” And while cheap fuel is indeed something that millions of households and businesses are happy about, including Republicans, many would doubt that Obama is to thank. Meanwhile, businesses in the oil and gas sector and those employed (or unemployed, as the case may be) in the oil and gas sector... Читать дальше...

Someday water will be worth more than oil. Just like it was for most of human existence until some clever men figured out to dig ancient hydrocarbons out of the ground and create things like plastic and gasoline.

According to many, that day may soon come. As clean water becomes an increasingly valuable natural resource, the search for a greener alternative to oil is growing. One thing is for certain: We will eventually use up all the planet’s oil reserves, and... Читать дальше...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A "rambling" note expressing hatred for police was found after a man opened fire on a Philadelphia police officer then went on a shooting spree, injuring a second officer, killing a woman and wounding three other people before he was shot and killed by police in an alley, authorities said Saturday.

Police Commissioner Richard Ross identified the gunman in the Friday overnight rampage as 25-year-old Nicholas Glenn, and said he had a 9mm Ruger and... Читать дальше...

Reddit hosted an AMA, or Ask Me Anything, that featured Kwasi Enin answering questions about his incredible feat of being accepted into all eight Ivy League schools.

Enin, now a junior at Yale, provided one response about how he settled on his choice that was truly surprising for those who don't know that you can bargain with schools over their financial aid offers.

"For me, Yale had one of the best financial aid offers (after bargaining a little bit)," he wrote.

PARIS, France — Paris is on edge.

After three major attacks in France and several smaller incidents over the past two years, terrorism has become a regular part of the conversation here — on TV, on the radio, and in the streets.

In the past two weeks alone, authorities say they have thwarted two attempted attacks.

Perhaps it is no surprise then that shoppers in central Paris called the police on Saturday afternoon when they thought they heard an explosion on Rue St. Читать дальше...

A Russian Defense Ministry spokesman says 62 Syrian soldiers have been reported killed in a U.S.-led coalition airstrike on a military base.

The US Central Command released a statement confirming the incident on Saturday. 

Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov says the airstrike on Saturday took place near the Deir el-Zour airport in eastern Syria and was carried out by two F-16s and two A-10s. He did not identify the planes' country affiliation, but said they were part of the international coalition. Читать дальше...

In the early 1960s, pictures of babies with tragic birth defects, including shortened or missing limbs, caused an international scare.

The malformations were quickly linked to the drug thalidomide, an over-the-counter sedative that had recently been developed in Germany and was being used by pregnant women to alleviate morning sickness.

One result of the thalidomide crisis was the passage of a new law, the Kefauver Harris Amendment... Читать дальше...

To sell drugs and transport their profits, Mexican cartels need to stay off the grid. That means using ultra-secret communications.

In a 2015 money-laundering case in Chicago, special agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Jill Dennewitz testified against 32 members of various Mexican drug cartels.

The cartel members often used blackberry messenger, or BBM, according to prosecutors. In one instance, Carlos Parra-Pedroza, also known as "Walt Disney"... Читать дальше...

In December 2011, Vladimir Putin, then Russia's prime minister, was positioned to reclaim his role as Russia's president in the March 2012 elections.

Fittingly, he hosted a lavish banquet at New Century, Moscow's richest equestrian club, for members of the Valdai Club and distinguished academics and journalists from around the world.

"The fare was extravagant: smoked trout, duck liver, venison soup, rhubarb sorbet, veal cheeks, and pear soup with caramel," according to Douglas Schoen and Melik Kaylan... Читать дальше...

In 2015, Mallory Downing was hustling for a hedge fund job.

Like many of her peers at Columbia Business School in New York, she sent out hundreds of résumés. She met with more than 100 people in interviews or informal coffee meetings. She was set on a career in investing and knew the hedge fund model was for her.

"Getting into this industry requires some serious conviction," she told Business Insider.

Not long after, a prominent hedge fund manager... Читать дальше...

Ivanka Trump has negotiated a number of deals as the executive vice president of development and acquisitions for the Trump Organization — and along the way, she says she's learned that "winning" a negotiation isn't always the best option.

Business Insider recently sat down with Trump, who is also head of the Ivanka Trump lifestyle brand and advises young professional women with her #AskIT YouTube series, to talk, among other things, about her strategies for success. Читать дальше...

First came the awe and elation at my wife's pregnancy. We were finally starting a family!

In the next moment, an "Oh s--t!" panic sunk in.

To counter the fear of becoming new parents we both read. And read and read and read.

We rounded up about a dozen science-backed books, scanned countless research studies, downloaded pregnancy apps, and shared hundreds of articles with each other over the following months.

In US presidential elections, Cuba has always loomed large for aspirants to the nation’s highest office, given the presence of so many of its natives in Florida, a key swing state. But the outcome of the race in 2016 may come down to those hailing from a different Caribbean island.

Hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans have moved to the US mainland in recent years, many of them driven out by the island’s collapsed economy.

Many have settled in Florida,... Читать дальше...

NOW WATCH: An exercise scientists explains the key to getting stronger that many overlook

The Chevrolet Bolt, the all-electric coupe just introduced by General Motors, isn’t the first or the zippiest all-electric vehicle on the market. And it may or not be the Tesla killer that Farhad Manjoo suggests it is in the New York Times this week. What makes the Bolt important is simply that it’s plausible in a way that earlier versions of the effort to electrify automobiles were not, and in a way that other electric cars on the market aren’t quite yet.

A pipe bomb exploded in a Jersey Shore town Saturday shortly before thousands of runners were due to participate in a charity 5K race to benefit Marines and sailors, authorities said.

Crispin Odey is having a tough year.

His UK-based hedge fund is down about 35% this year through August, according to an investor letter. The firm manages around $8.9 billion.

And Odey is blaming central bankers, and in particular low interest rates, for creating an unsustainable economy.

"It would certainly be simpler to follow the market," he wrote. "But then we would be ignoring the fundamental data."

For the past two months, I've been experimenting with a new daily routine suited to my unique biological makeup.

That unique biological makeup is also known as a "chronotype," or a predisposition to be a morning person, an evening person, or somewhere in between. Scientists say your perfect schedule depends heavily on your specific chronotype.

According to Dr. Michael Breus, a psychologist and sleep specialist and the author of "The Power of When," there are four different chronotypes... Читать дальше...

Insulin prices are rising — increases that mean some people are spending as much on monthly diabetes-related expenses as their mortgage payment.

But what makes the rise in insulin prices different than many other old drugs that have drawn scrutiny over prices, is that there is competition for insulin.

In most industries, competition drives down prices. In this case, the competitors appear to increase prices side-by-side — something that's been referred... Читать дальше...

In 2012, Colorado legalized recreational marijuana. Joel Schneider like many people moved out west to take advantage of the new industry. He realized people who came to Colorado on vacation had no place to smoke because you can't legally smoke in hotels. So he decided to create a "bud and breakfast."
