Over the past month of the presidential campaign, there have been multiple surprises (Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump), the relatively expected (Hillary Clinton), and the disappointing (Chris Christie, Rick Perry, and Rand Paul).

With less than 450 days until the 2016 election, here's another look at who has the best chance of making it to the White House to succeed President Barack Obama.

Our rankings are based on the Real Clear Politics averages of national polls and those in New Hampshire and Iowa. We also factor in candidates' fundraising numbers released last month and their momentum (or lack thereof) over the past few weeks, especially after the first Republican presidential debate earlier this month.

Here's a look at where all the candidates stand.

19. Lindsey Graham, Republican, senator from South Carolina

Graham is one of the more interesting candidates in the GOP field, something that might also work against him with the party's conservative base.

He supports immigration reform more than any other member of the field, keenly recognizing the GOP's problem with Latino voters and repeatedly sparring with front-runner Donald Trump's comments on immigration. But many more voters, as polls have shown, have instead rallied around Trump.

Graham is still barely registering in polls nationally and in the first two voting states. He has to hope his home state of South Carolina will rally around him for a shocker in the third contest early next year — if he stays around that long.

National polling average among Republican voters: 0.3% (15th)
Iowa: 0.7% (15th)
New Hampshire: 1% (T-14th)

STOCK: Falling
Last month: 17

18. Rick Santorum, Republican, former senator from Pennsylvania

It's easy to forget that Santorum won 11 states in his 2012 primary matchup with Mitt Romney, the eventual Republican nominee — including the Iowa caucuses. That's because, so far, he hasn't been even a blip on the radar in the 2016 race.

He is facing much stauncher competition this time around, and he has not solved his biggest problem from 2012 — money. He raised just over $600,000 in the past quarter, the kind of money that doesn't bode well for staying power.

The state that provided his biggest win in 2012 — Iowa — also hasn't given him the same kind of love. And over the past month, he has fallen dramatically in the first-caucus state.

National polling average among Republican voters: 1% (13th)
Iowa: 1.3% (14th)
New Hampshire: N/A (16th)

STOCK: Falling
Last month: 15

17. Bobby Jindal, Republican, Louisiana governor

Jindal was not too long ago one of the GOP's rising stars. But his stock both nationally and in his home state of Louisiana has plummeted over the past few years, as his state has fallen into financial disarray.

The result is what's showing up in polls: He has yet to be able to break out of the bottom of the GOP pack.

Jindal and allied groups did raise $9 million last quarter, but he missed out on the first prime-time debate, and he looks extremely unlikely to make the next main debate stage in September.

National polling average among Republican voters: 0.7% (14th)
Iowa: 1.7% (12th)
New Hampshire: 1.8% (12th)

STOCK: Neutral

Poor credit makes it difficult to get approved for a credit card, but there's something out there for everyone.

We asked personal finance and credit card comparison site NerdWallet to highlight options for those with a low credit score (300 to 629).

The roundup consists of secured credit cards— cards designed to help you build up your credit.

They require a cash collateral deposit equal to the credit line, generally have higher interest rates than unsecured cards, and don't offer as many rewards as regular cards. With responsible use and timely payments, you will eventually qualify for a unsecured (regular) card.

If you're looking to start or improve your credit history, consider one of these:

SEE ALSO: The 10 best credit cards to fit any lifestyle

Capital One Secured MasterCard

Annual fee: $0

Purchase APR: 24.99% (APR will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate).

Why it's good: If you're low on cash and looking to rebuild credit, this no-annual-fee card is a great option because it offers flexibility with the collateral deposit: You don't have to make the full deposit right away (just within 80 days of opening the account). 

You'll also have access to Capital One's Credit Tracker tool with this card, which lets you track credit score improvement.

Apply here.

Wells Fargo Secured Visa Card

Annual fee: $25

Purchase APR: 18.99% (APR will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate).

Why it's good: You can get a high credit line — up to $10,000 if you can make a collateral deposit equal to that amount. This is rare for secured cards, and a high credit line will help to keep your credit utilization ratio low, which can help improve your score. 

Apply here.

US Bank Secured Card

Annual fee: $29

Purchase APR: 18.99% (APR will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate).

Why it's good: If you're hoping to upgrade to an unsecured card quickly, this card will give you that option with responsible use. After 12 months, US Bank will evaluate your account and determine whether you're eligible to upgrade, which is a faster transition than most cards offer (typically it takes 18 months or more).

Helios is the personification of the sun in Greek mythology. 

And there's no more appropriate name than that for a boat that harnesses the sun's power.

With its hybrid diesel-electric motor capable of using both to move itself, the Helios could represent a new future for personal watercraft. Up to 355 kWh of energy can be stored in the ship's batteries.

Though it's a hybrid, it doesn't sacrifice luxury. There's plenty of space to take all your friends aboard to marvel at the boat's advanced solar sail technology.

The vessel was masterminded by Ferrari Franchi Design, which was named Young Designer of the Year 2015 by Boat International Media for the design.

Helios is unlike any other yacht. It's a 55-foot sailboat powered by the diesel-electric motor.

The large black sails dominating the boat's presence aren't just for show...

...they're actually made of flexible silicone solar cells (2,500 in all) that absorb the sun's rays to help power the boat.

While many executives are criticized for their excessive pay, some CEOs have been able to skirt around the issue by choosing to forgo a lofty salary and opting instead for a paycheck of $1 a year, or less.

Of course, this isn't to say these executives are living off the dollar menu.

The CEOs on this list are still worth millions, if not billions, but while some merely pay lip service to the $1 salary club by taking home hefty compensation in the form of company stock awards and bonuses, others forgo adding to their wealth in this way entirely.

"I've made enough money," said Mark Zuckerberg during a Q&A on Facebook in June. "At this point, I'm just focused on making sure I do the most possible good with what I have." Zuckerberg chooses to take home a $1 salary and declines stock awards and bonuses.

Here are some CEOs and other executives that belong to the $1 (or less) salary club:

Larry Page and Sergey Brin

According to Google's annual filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Brin and Page, the company's cofounders asked that their base salaries each be reduced to $1 per year in 2004.

Since then, Google's compensation committee has offered them market-competitive salaries annually, which they continue to decline.

While they also forgo cash bonuses based on their individual and company performance and do not hold any stock options, Google stock units, or other contingent stock rights, Page is currently worth an estimated $34.9 billion and Brin is worth an estimated $34.3 billion.

Jack Dorsey

In a filing with the SEC in June, it was revealed that Twitter's interim CEO receives no compensation for his role. This is of little financial consequence to Dorsey, whose current estimated net worth comes in around $2.3 billion.

"At your request, you have agreed to forego any compensation for your role as Interim Chief Executive Officer until the Compensation Committee agree upon a compensation package for you at the same time that it conducts its annual assessment and setting of executive compensation later in the year. Until a compensation package is finalized, you will be entitled to no cash or equity compensation for your services as Interim Chief Executive Officer,"the document reads.

Larry Ellison

As in previous years, Oracle reported to the SEC that Ellison, now executive chairman and CTO, took home a salary of $1 in 2014.

Meanwhile, new co-CEOs Safra Catz and Mark Hurd, who took over in September, 2014, each took home a $950,000 salary last year in addition to other compensation.

So how does Ellison continue to add to his estimated $49.2 billion net worth? Compensation Ellison received last year included $65 million in stock option awards, $740,000 in non-equity compensation, and $1.5 million for other compensation, most of which went towards security-related costs for Ellison's home.

The zombie apocalypse is about to invade your televisions all over again — just not in the way that you expect. 

"Fear the Walking Dead," the anticipated spin-off series set before the main events of AMC's "The Walking Dead," moves the action to the West coast and focuses on a cast of characters with a very different dynamic than the main series.

While "The Walking Dead" follows a motley crew of survivors and wanderers in search of safety, "Fear the Walking Dead" centers around the plight of two diverse, very different families as they come together to try to understand and ride out what they only know as a rapid and virulent infection. 

That family dynamic is a big part of what sets the spin-off show apart from the original series, and will doubtless be a source of much of the show's drama and tension. 

In anticipation of the series premiere on August 23, 2015, let's get acquainted with the group of people we'll be following through the end of the world as we know it. 

Kim Dickens plays high school guidance counselor, Madison Clark.

A widowed mother of two teens, Madison has just moved in with her boyfriend (who also has a family of his own) and is generally trying to make the best of life. The spread of a mysterious infection isn't going to make that very easy. 

Her youngest child, Alicia Clark (Alycia Debnam-Carey) is a college-bound model student with big plans and a bright future.

Her other child, Nick (Frank Dillane), is Madison's oldest son, and her biggest headache.

Addicted to drugs and tangled in trouble, Nick might finally be on the road to recovery — even though the rest of the world is undergoing the exact opposite.

Now that we've had a good look at Samsung's latest Galaxy smartphones, we can see what more they can do compared the iPhone 6 Plus.

Both have large screens, but they couldn't be more different. And it looks like the Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge+ have a few tricks up their sleeves that iPhone 6 Plus owners can't boast about.

Write good notes and sign PDFs

This only applies to the Galaxy Note 5, as it has a built-in stylus that Samsung calls the S Pen.

Before you go about saying that iPhones work with styli, it's really just an extension of your finger, and third-party styli for iPhones aren't very accurate.

The Galaxy Note 5's S Pen lets you do some pretty cool things. For example, you can pull the S Pen out and start taking notes without unlocking the phone, or you can quickly sign a PDF and send it off. You can even write out your texts or emails instead of tapping the on-screen keyboard.

A little over a year ago, I picked out a selection of phone apps that would help someone get in shape, with apps designed to help facilitate exercise, meditation, healthy behavior, and good sleeping habits.

There's only one app on the list that I'm still using, and it's a free fitness app called Sworkit Lite (there's a paid version too). 

It may seem like picking one fitness app to recommend out of the more than 100,000 health-related apps is an arbitrary decision, but it turns out my personal preference is backed by science: A team of sports scientists recently analyzed 30 popular free fitness apps and found that Sworkit Lite was the most closely aligned with the American College of Sports Medicine's training guidelines.

Those guidelines say a workout should include aerobic, strength and resistance, and flexibility components; it should follow evidence-based guidelines for frequency, intensity, and types of workouts; and it should include safety measures to help make sure beginners start at a safe point.

No app was perfect, the analysis found (and most were terrible). People with different goals will have different needs, and of course the best workout is whichever one you actually do. Other apps may be better, in fact, at motivating people to move.

But for me, Sworkit makes exercising easy and fun. It's basically like a playlist for fitness that you can just follow along. And now we know that its routines are expert-approved.

Here's how it works — and why I've stuck with it.

The initial interface is simple and clean.

When you open up the app, you can choose whether you want to focus on strength, cardio, yoga, or stretching.

All the exercises are bodyweight-based, so you don't need any additional equipment for any of the workouts. While I wouldn't use this as my only fitness option, it's a nice way to get a varied workout that can be done at home or on the road.

There are also options for either a quick five-minute workout or a custom workout.

If you choose the five-minute workout, the app will select a series of cardio and strength exercises and have you do them for 30 seconds each.

While five minutes isn't a lot, it's enough for a quick morning wake-up routine at least. Even a small amount of exercise can have a huge impact on your life, especially if you keep your intensity level high.

The five-minute workout is also a good warm-up option before a yoga session.

If you opt for the strength routine, you can choose what type of workout you want.

The full body workout is a great go-to option here. While I like to go for a run or a bike ride or a climb when I can, this is a nice alternative for particularly hot or freezing days.

It's easy and well-defined enough that you can make yourself do it, even if you are just relaxing around the apartment.

You can work up a good sweat and push yourself hard enough that you get the mental clarity that's one of the best benefits of exercise.

After a decade of experimenting, failing, learning from those failures, and "figuring things out," you might find yourself in a more secure financial position once you hit your 30s.

What do you do with excess money when you're no longer living paycheck to paycheck? And how do you prepare for big expenses you're bound to face in your 30s?

We spoke to Michael Solari, a certified financial planner at Solari Financial Planning, about the smartest things 30-somethings can do with their money to set themselves up for a prosperous future.

Here are eight smart places to start:

SEE ALSO: The 11 worst money mistakes to make in your 30s

1. Increase your 401(k) contributions.

"In your 30s, the most important thing that you have is time, and the more money you can save now is going to pay huge dividends down the road," says Solari.

You should already be contributing towards your employer's 401(k) retirement account, but if you get a pay raise, increase that contribution, Solari says.

Also, get in the habit of upping your contribution at the end of each year, even if it's just 0.5%, he advises. Check online to see if you can set up "auto-increase," which will automatically increase your contributions every year.

2. Make a contribution to a Roth IRA.

If you're maxing out your 401(k) plan, the next step is to put money towards a Roth IRA, a retirement savings vehicle that offers tax benefits and is particularly well-suited to younger people who earn less than the income cap ($116,000 a year or less for individuals; $183,000 or less for married couples filing jointly).

Contributions to this type of fund are taxed when they're made, so you can withdraw the contributions and earnings tax-free once you reach age 59 1/2.

Solari recommends directing your tax refund, bonuses, or any other extra money to a Roth IRA.

3. Contribute to a dependent care flexible spending account.

This applies to those with younger children looking to save on child care. Typically, larger companies will offer a slew of benefits, one of them being dependent care flexible spending accounts (also known as FSAs) into which you can put pre-tax money. In some cases, you'll receive a debit card from the company to use towards services such as daycare and summer camp. If you're paying a nanny or babysitter, you can pay them with cash and then apply for reimbursement from the FSA. 

"If you have children in daycare and your company offers a flexible spending account, contribute to it," Solari says. "The tax deduction will give you a 15 to 30% discount on your daycare. It's a great way to save money."

Check with your human resources department to see if you're offered this benefit.

Few things are more frustrating than knowing you need to finish a project and absolutely not being able to focus on it. In these moments, everything — email, Facebook, tying your shoe — seems more exciting than the task at hand.

Fortunately, there are dozens of ways to filter out distractions and improve your ability to concentrate for extended periods of time. To find out what some of these strategies are, we sifted through the Quora thread, "How do I improve my concentration and willpower?" and highlighted the most practical techniques. 

Some of them involve small tweaks (think changing the way you write your to-do list), while others involve a bigger commitment (like a daily meditation practice). All of them will make you more productive in both your professional and personal lives.

SEE ALSO: 11 Surprising Things That Affect Your Willpower And Decision Making

1. Create a quick-hit agenda.

If you've got 30 items on your to-do list and half of those are things that need to happen sometime this week, it's no wonder you feel stuck. 

A better bet is to give yourself some super-short-term goals. Quora user Ravi Mandliya suggests creating a list of things you'd like to finish in the next 45 minutes.

That forces you to be realistic in thinking about how much you can actually accomplish in a limited time frame, so you don't end up with something vague and intimidating like "write three project reports."

2. Work on your most pressing projects first thing in the morning.

Each day is chock-full of experiences that can sap your willpower, from turning down a coworker's freshly-baked brownies to ignoring the siren call of your overflowing inbox. By the time 3 p.m. hits, it may be hard to muster up the cognitive resources to focus on anything work-related.

That's why Vince Favilla says, "You need to work on your most important tasks early in the day, while you still have the focus and willpower to complete them."

Psychologist Kelly McGonigal offers another reason why willpower may be highest in the morning: The brain is refreshed by sleep. (That's also why an afternoon nap may work to boost your willpower and productivity.)

3. Practice concentrating for long stretches.

Steve Denton recommends playing chess (or a similarly complex game) with challenging opponents to develop your ability to concentrate for extended periods of time.

In fact, educational organizationsacross the globe advocate adding chess instruction to school curricula. That's because it helps increase concentration and memory — skills that can improve performance in other areas of life.

If you work in the tech world you may find yourself heading to Israel for a business trip.

Israel's tech industry is booming and most of the huge tech companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, and Intel have big operations there. Plus, investors love it. So do tech companies looking to acquire startups.

Israel is also known as a major worldwide tourist destination.

But a typical business trip isn't the same as a vacation. You don't have the same amount of time and freedom to spend on sightseeing, and you may have had days, not months, to plan your trip.

We recently took a business trip to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to meet with some the nation's hottest startups.

And we compiled this list of tips of how to sneak in some last-minute sightseeing, and other oddities you need to know when traveling to Israel.

Since the heart of Israel's startup scene is in Tel Aviv, your trip can easily include some time on the beach, swimming in the warm waters of the Mediterranean sea.

You don't need to bring your own chair or umbrella. You can rent them on the beach. Just plunk yourself down, and these guys in bright pink shirts will come by to collect. It costs about 30 shekels, or about $10.

You'll probably want to book your hotel near Rothschild Boulevard, the heart of Tel Aviv's startup scene. There are tons of great cafes there. You can also find hotels that are west of Rothschild, walking distance to both Rothschild and the beach. Tel Aviv is home to 52 hotels as well as Airbnb. It serves 1 million visitors a year.

From the biological side of things to how we're nurtured, a lot of what goes on in childhood influences how we turn out as adults.

And while there isn't a set recipe for ensuring achievement and happiness in adulthood, psychology research has pointed to a handful of factors from childhood that can predict success.

Here's some of what we know about how your childhood influences your success as an adult:

Your social skills as a kindergartner can determine if you go to college or get a job.

Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation between their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later.

The 20-year study showed that socially competent children who could cooperate with their peers without prompting, be helpful to others, understand their feelings, and resolve problems on their own, were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by age 25 than those with limited social skills.

Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested, binge-drinking, and applying for public housing.

"This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future," said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, in a release.

"From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted."

If your parents divorce when you're super-young, you'll likely have poor relationships with them in adulthood.

If your parents split up when you were between 3 and 5, you'll probably have an insecure relationship with them when you're an adult, especially in the case of fathers, according to a University of Illinois study. However, that divorce incidence doesn't predict insecure romantic relationships. 

If you copycat your parents, you'll be more open-minded as an adult.

If you copied everything your parents did as a child, even if it didn't make sense, it's likely you developed a willingness to assume that actions have some "unknown" purpose. This will make you more open to sharing and transmitting culture later on in life, according to a study by researchers at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban, South Africa, and the University of Queensland in Australia.

This is universally a human activity — chimpanzees are shown to only imitate actions if they're practical. "It's something that we know that other primates don’t do,"said psychologist Mark Nielsen, of the University of Queensland in Australia.

Live from Madison Square Garden, the North American "League of Legends" 2015 championship is happening right now: August 22 and 23.

Tonight's big game is between Team Liquid and Team Impulse: if Team Liquid wins, they're automatically headed to the World Cup of professional "League of Legends" play, LCS Worlds in October. If Team Impulse wins, they're one step closer to securing an invite to Worlds – they have more work after tonight to make that happen.

We're here at the game following Team Liquid, the stars of Tech Insider video series "League of Millions." As such, we had the opportunity to spend some time with Team Liquid ahead of their big game, which gave a fascinating look into the behind-the-scenes life of one of the most popular teams in eSports as they prepare for their biggest championship game yet.

It's a tale of Red Bull, sockless feet, and hand warmers. Yes: hand warmers. Prepare yourself!

After being guided through the maze-like back alleys of Madison Square Garden by a representative from "League of Legends" developer Riot Games, we found the "green room" where Team Liquid was preparing for battle.

It was less glamorous than you might expect for the stars of a sold-out Madison Square Garden event. The "room" was actually just a fenced off area in the nether regions of MSG. 

There was a large table of catering outside the room, solely for the use of Team Liquid and their rivals on Team Impulse. Nothing too extravagant: various fresh fruits, a handful of salad types, and some warm pasta and meat dishes in steam trays. We were asked to not photograph anything outside the green room.

The room was full of some personal items the team travels with. Of the five players, Chae "Piglet" Gwang-jin is the most well-known: he previously won an LCS Worlds championship game in 2013 with his previous team, SK Telecom. As it's his namesake, Piglet carries an adorable Piglet stuffed animal with him for luck.

If you look closely, you'll also see a Piglet pin attached to his "League of Legends" championship backpack.

Scientists have seen plenty of big sharks, but this 20-foot great white may be the largest one ever caught on camera. Her name is Deep Blue, and she appears to be pregnant.

When great whites hunt, they approach their prey from below, like this shark caught launching itself into the air. The incredible footage was shot in Mossel Bay, South Africa, by Remo Sabatini on July 6.

Sometimes, one shark just isn't enough. A fisherman caught this giant tiger shark, then realized the massive creature had already swallowed a hammerhead.

You can't expect negotiations with the French to be like negotiations with Americans, and the same holds true for every culture around the world.

British linguist Richard D. Lewis charted communication patterns as well as leadership styles and cultural identities in his book, "When Cultures Collide," which is now in a 2005 third edition. His organization offers classes in cross-cultural communication for clients like Unilever and BMW.

Although cultural generalizations can be overly reductive, Lewis, who speaks 10 languages, insists it can be done fairly, writing: "Determining national characteristics is treading a minefield of inaccurate assessment and surprising exception. There is, however, such a thing as a national norm."

Before we say goodbye to summer, it’s time to look back on how the movie business did the last few months.

Overall, Hollywood had an incredible summer at the multiplex with numerous record-breaking releases — incidentally coming from the same studio. But there were also some major disappointments.

So let’s look back at the movies, people, and studios that make up the winners and losers of this summer movie season.

WINNER: Universal

No one saw this coming. Without a superhero franchise on its summer slate, few could imagine Universal would be at the top of the heap at the global box office.

But it turned out what the studio had this summer were titles that had stories with built-in mass appeal. Thanks to the sensational performances of "Furious 7,""Jurassic World," and "Minions," to name a few, Universal has made more than $5.52 billion at the worldwide box office, making it the highest grossing year ever for a studio.

LOSER: Josh Trank

It's hard to find anyone in Hollywood who lost more over the summer than filmmaker Josh Trank. At one time he was the new "it" director, with the "Fantastic Four" reboot by 20th Century Fox coming out and prepping to direct one of the "Star Wars" anthology projects.

But following reports of Trank’s alleged erratic behavior on the set of "Four," Trank left the "Star Wars" film. Now with "Four" bombing at the box office and Trank’s Twitter response to the critics' reaction, the 31-year-old is at a crossroads.

WINNER: "Straight Outta Compton"

After years of teasing, a biopic on the legendary rap group N.W.A was finally released over the summer, and it turned out a few people wanted to see it.

Actually, a lot of people. The film had the highest-grossing opening weekend for a music biopic of all time with $60 million. And yes, it's another successful release by Universal this summer.
