10 Most Successful LBOs and Private Equity Buyouts in History

The 1980s saw the beginning of the first private equity boom, which culminated in RJR Nabisco’s acquisition. That period also witnessed the rise of notorious corporate raiders like Carl Icahn, T. Boone Pickens, Kirk Kerkorian and many others. Their hostile takeovers and subsequent asset stripping of companies like TWA earned them the reputation of being ruthless men who didn’t care about anything but the bottom-line. The practice of greenmail (essentially a form of financial blackmail) didn’t do much to improve their reputations either. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 10 most successful LBOs and private equity buyouts in history.

We have picked one item from their list for now. Continental Airlines. In sharp contrast to Carl Icahn’s takeover of TWA, which ended in the company being stripped of its most valuable assets and ultimately led to its bankruptcy (while significantly enriching Mr. Icahn), newly formed Texas Pacific Group took the other way in their 1993 buyout of Continental Airlines. By taking a direct, hands-on approach in the daily operations of the company, they managed to turn their initial $66 million investment into a handy $600 million profit.

10 Most Famous, Beautiful Piano Songs from Movies

When I was younger I played the bassoon, and I wanted to be a musician. I loved to play lots of music on my instrument. The surprising thing is that there’s a remarkable amount of similarities between some of the songs on their list. Some of the all time best piano music from classic movies with famously beloved soundtracks. The same movie appeared three times with three of its best songs, and another movie series scored two of its songs. Out of nearly 30 piano songs we rated from popular movies, the results showed only a few movies to have the best soundtracks. Here is the list by Insidermonkey experts of 10 most famous, beautiful piano songs from movies.

We have picked two songs from their list as usual. The first one is Mia & Sebastian’s Theme from La La Land. It’s no surprise that music from the fairly recent movie La La Land, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, would land this list. It’s clearly a hit with music lovers all over. The next one is Epilogue from La La Land. This song is much longer than the previous on our list, clocking in at 7 minutes and 41 seconds, but it’s also a combination of much of the music from the whole La La Land score, a very well loved movie soundtrack. No wonder it’s got so many views. You can also check our list of 11 Beautiful Modern Piano Songs to Learn.

10 Best Vacation Spots for Singles in Their 30’s

In most cases, typical vacation packages don’t offer the features single travelers in their thirties are after. When you are thirty, you want to go to a destination that offers spectacularly beautiful beaches, interesting sights, outdoor activities and relaxation spots. People usually work very hard in their 30’s, and that is why relaxation is one of the crucial factors for spending a great holiday.

9 Best Resources for Special Education Teachers

Autism is the most common disorder detected among school children, but there are also other disorders that cause smaller or bigger problems with learning to students. Besides autism, we need to mention the Asperger’s syndrome, ADHD, problems with reading, dyslexia or various handicaps. Students with learning disabilities completely rely on their teacher.

10 Best Future Business Ideas in 2020 in India

No matter what you plan on doing, you need to think about the future. Every decision we make right now has an impact on the future and carries consequences which may or may not be positive. That’s why decision making is sometimes complicated. Not because we don’t know what we want, but because we fear what that decision may cause tomorrow.

6 Armenian Language Classes in NYC

Armenian is the official language of the Republic of Armenia and, historically, it has been spoken throughout the Armenian Highlands. The language is still spoken in the country, but also by people who are living outside of the country. There are over 1.4 million Armenians living in the United States, out of the 10 million that have moved in all the corners of the world. Many of these people have moved to the States over a century ago, but continue to speak the language within their families. Many others moved after one of the ugliest moments in history, one that is still ignored by many nations of the world. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 6 Armenian language classes in NYC.

The Armenian language is part of the Indo-European family of languages and it is most closely related to Greek. There are three known dialects, one of them, classical Armenian, dating back to the fifth century. It is mostly used by the Armenian Church. The other two modern dialects are Eastern and Western. The Eastern dialect is most often spoken in Armenia and Iran, as well as throughout the communities that emigrated to North America. The Western dialects have somewhat died out when speakers migrated to all corners of the world following the Armenian genocide.

Top 8 Film Schools in New York City

9 Horseback Riding Lessons For Kids and Adults in NYC

I loved horses when I was a kid and because of that, I spent many years trying to convince my parents to buy me a horse. While we lived in the country and had a lot of land and space for a horse, just like any pet, horses require a lot of responsibility that I’m sure I didn’t have at the time. If you don’t live somewhere where there is a lot of access to land, owning a horse is out of the question.

10 Best Places for an American to Find a Wife in the World

I will give you a bit of an overview on the history of modern marriage and its implications. If you keep reading, you might even realize you don’t want to get married at all! But first, how do we know where Americans find their wives? The answer to that question lies with the Department of Homeland Security –as it often does- and their “Profiles on Legal Permanent Residents”. Their stats allow us to extract data on how many “Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens” possess “legal permanent resident status”, their countries of origin, and how many of them are female. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 10 best places for an American to find a wife in the world.

We have picked one country from their list. Indonesia. Indonesia holds place number on our list of best places for an American to find a wife in the world. Not really surprising, is it? In fact, one thing I found out while writing this article is that most stereotypes on this subject are correct. Given that marriage is a very old concept is something that didn’t exist until relatively recent times. Think about it, your great-grandparent’s marriage probably had little to do with love, and a lot to do with alliances and convenience. It was a deal not between individuals, but families.If feel interested you can also check our list of 10 Easiest Countries to Find a Wife.

16 Cheapest States to Live in the US for Seniors

On this ranking you can find places where median home price does not exceed $150,000 and where healthcare costs are from 12% to 1% below America’s average. All of the ranked states are tax friendly toward retirees – seniors do not have to pay taxes on money coming from social security while others types of retirement income are completely or partly exempt from taxation. Moreover, in many of them property and sale taxes are below the national average. Although low costs of living go with fuller wallet they do not guarantee high quality of life. Insidermonkey experts made a list of the 16 cheapest states to live in the US for seniors.

We have picked one state from their list. South Carolina. It has the highest health care costs and third highest real estate prices on this ranking. Still, compared to many other places in America, Palmetto Sate is pretty affordable, especially if we take into account taxation. The state does not tax social security income, while pensions, both private and public, are partly taxed. Moreover, the state has very low property taxes (for $100,000 home value owners pay around $570).

15 Funny Beauty Pageant Questions

Beauty pageants are being held all across the world. No matter what we think about them, most people watch beauty pageants even if they don’t like them. Why is that? Well, I guess that we just have this strange need to compare ourselves to everybody else. Who is prettier than who, who is smarter than who…It goes on and on, and it seems as if it isn’t even our choice because we are somehow involved in all that from the moment we are born. In fact, we love beauty pageants so much that we even organize beauty pageants for babies and toddlers only where we decide which child is the prettiest. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 15 funny beauty pageant questions.

So why do we like beauty pageants? Perhaps it has to do something with our desire to define everything so we rate the contestants according to their physical appearance which may be pretty harsh. Some people are concerned about what message do beauty pageants send to young girls everywhere. Girls obsess about their weight and appearance anyway, so these competitions based on looks may emphasize that issue. We seek some sort of perfection which, in my opinion, is a very subjective thing, and cannot be defined anyway. If feel interested you can also check our list of 10 Political Pageant Interview Questions.

10 Political Pageant Interview Questions

We may or may not support beauty pageants but regardless of our opinion, they are being held everywhere. Ever since we learn how to walk and talk, we are somehow involved in all sorts of competitions where we are compared to other kids. There is something inexplicable about beauty pageants that people will simply love. What is it about it that we enjoy so much? Is it the judging of a contestant’s appearance? And how is beauty defined anyway? What one person considers beautiful may be hideous for another so how do we choose the most beautiful woman? It never seizes to puzzle me. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 10 political pageant interview questions.

We have picked two questions from their list. The first one is ”Journalists are calling out Matt Lauer for aggressively grilling Hillary Clinton while letting Donald Trump slide. How would you grade the media on their election coverage?” This political question probably surprised the contestant. You can watch the full answer on TMZ. The second question is ”The immigration debate rages on: Building a wall along the Mexico border, establishing sanctuary cities, deporting 11 million undocumented people. Do you believe our country has an immigration problem?” You can also check our list of 50 Common Beauty Pageant Questions and Answers for Teenagers.

10 Best Engineering Summer Camps for Middle School Students

An early introduction to such a serious scientific field that is engineering is a great idea, especially at an early age. One of the fields of STEM education, engineering also has multiple applications in a variety of disciplines. There are many engineering branches: chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, etc. The main characteristic of a discipline having ‘engineering’ in its name is applying mathematical, scientific and practical principles to certain scientific fields in order to improve, inventing something new. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 10 best engineering summer camps for middle school students.

We have picked two summer camps from their list. The first one is Berkeley Girls in Engineering. The reason Berkeley is in the last place on our list is not because of bad ranking (it is no. 3 of the top engineering colleges in 2017), but because it only offers middle school summer camps for girls in engineering. The second one is University of Northern Iowa. The University of Northern Iowa offers an interesting summer camp in the field of robotics. Through the course, children will get introduced to the basics of STEM while working on designing, building and programming robots. Also, for some future thinking here are 10 Best Engineering Camps for High Schoolers.

30 Most Evil People in History

The world’s history is full of certain horrible events connected with some people who will always be remembered for their evil actions and “creative” manners in which they tortured and punished people, especially those who disagreed with them. Probably the first association is Nazi Germany, but we provided the information about it in our another article, so we will try to broaden this one and focus on different historical periods and circumstances. The interesting thing is that the evil people did not necessarily need to be the part of wars, but there were also some of them who operated and spread the fear even though the official war. Insidermonkey experts made a list of 30 most evil people in history.

We have picked one people from their list. King John ruled England from 1199 to 1216, and probably all of the horrible adjectives that you can think of can be used to describe this greedy and malicious ruler. During his reign, England was probably in the worst possible position, impoverished and without the firm hand to rule. There is no specific data on the number of people killed during his reign, but it has been widely known that they lived in the horrible circumstances: they were starved to death and lived in awful conditions. He also started the war against France and the Barons, and thousands of people died in them. You can also check our list of 20 Most Evil Nazis Ever.
