LOL!  I don't know where these places are!

The American stadiums are football teams' stadiums, the Canadian stadium is the field of the CFL's BC Lions (Vancouver) and the 3 Mexican stadiums are likely soccer stadiums, although the NFL usually has one or two games in Mexico each year, likely in one of these stadiums.

The weird thing about this is that each stadium owner has to basically vacate the facility for the World Cup. The Patriots, who play in Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA, are being kicked out for most of this summer, when they normally use it for training camp.

Dumb move by the World Cup management - for the games in Foxboro, tailgating is banned. Trying to entice American football fans to go to a World Cup football (soccer) game at over $1K per ticket, when you cannot even tailgate, is a bit of a failure on their part. It's no wonder that there have been so many empty seats already.

Which state brews the most craft beer?

Per capita, Vermont is #1.

Your link is  off... I think you meant this one: https://www.voronoiapp.com/other/Which-States-Have-the-Most-Breweries-Per-Person-560

It's not a surprise to me that Vermont is the leader here. Their state population is is only estimated to be 644,633 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_population ) which puts them below the District of Columbia for population, with only Wyoming having fewer people, which is why Montana is second on breweries per capita list.

Americas-Fastest-Aging-States_we.jpg

Doesn't that last note basically invalidate the entire graph??

If West Virginia already has one of the largest numbers of residents 65+, then they already are one of the fastest aging states, no matter. how slowly they are adding to that number.

This was clearly not done by a statistician. :)

Reads to me as sort of a population growth rate for 65+ in which case it should include those moving to these states to retire. WV is on the bottom because older populations aren't moving there maybe?

Where-Tourists-Outnumber-the-Loc.jpg

Learned recently that Bahrain is controlled by an imported dictatorship, and they've set up the country to cater to tourists from the immediate area as sort of a playground. Lots of corruption.

Florida teacher was fired after giving zeroes to students who didn’t turn in their assignments

I can see both sides to this. Yes, it would be very hard for any student to get a decent grade in this class when a 0 is averaged in over the school year. But I also don't think a student who doesn't pass in an assignment deserves a 50.

At least the student who got the 50 in her class did the assignment and tried.
