The median income of American households decreased significantly from 1999 to 2014 across the lower, middle and upper classes, according to Pew Research Center. The research group found that, "nationwide, the median income of U.S. households in 2014 stood at 8% less than in 1999, a reminder that the economy has yet to fully recover from the effects of the Great Recession of 2007-2009." Despite this drop in income, members of the upper class are still doing well for themselves. Pew defines upper class as adults whose annual household income is more than double the national median ($55,775 in 2016), after incomes have been adjusted for household size.

You definitely should NOT say '108' to Siri on Apple's iPhone and here's why
Social media pranksters have spent the past few days encouraging iPhone owners to say "108" to Apple's personal assistant, Siri. While the dial code will appear fairly innocuous to most global iPhone users, 108 is India's version of 999 in the UK (or 911 in the US). Although a lot of Twitter posts simply encouraged iPhone owners to "ask Siri about 108", others then suggested that you should also close your eyes for five seconds, leaving just enough time for the call to actually connect while Siri processes the request.

Sports Golf ChannelLindsey Pelas to be Murray's Masters Par 3 caddie (if he makes it)
Shoot your shot, Grayson Murray. The PGA Tour rookie, who's not afraid to stir things up on social media, took to Twitter on Sunday to ask model Lindsey Pelas if she would caddie for him in the Masters Par 3 contest. And she said yes, because of course, who doesn't want to go to the Masters? (Models, they're just like us.) Only problem is, Murray's only chance left to qualify for the year's first major is by winning next week's Houston Open. Murray was motivated by the response, but he'll have to be really motivated to pull his game out of a recent slump. He's missed five straight cuts. Here's some more photos of Ms. Pelas, if you'd like to get more acquainted with her work. A post shared by
