Despite this increase, however, consumers have consistently tuned in to an average of just 17 channels.

For starring in the 1988 comedy film Twins, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito both agreed to take 20% of the film’s box office take instead of their usual salaries. This resulted in them receiving the biggest paychecks of their movie careers.

Employment of librarians is projected to grow 9 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations. ... Therefore, there will be a continuous need for librarians to manage libraries and help patrons find information.

Most airlines require attendants to be height-weight proportionate, and they have certain maximum weight allowances depending on height. You must be tall enough to be able to reach the bins above the passengers, but not too tall to have to bend over all the time.

In between flights, the ground crew, not the flight attendants, completes a 'clean sweep' of the cabin, taking out trash, dirty pillows and blankets.
