The INSIDER Summary:

• Photographer Thom Pierce photographed horsemen and herders in Semonkong, Lesotho.
• Semonkong is made up of remote villages in the mountains.
• Locals rely on horses for transportation and livestock for livelihood.

The primary mode of transportation in Semonkong, a village in the mountains of Lesotho, is horseback.

Photographer Thom Pierce spent eight days in the region, capturing the day to day lives of the horsemen and herders who live there.

Keep scrolling to see 15 of the 40 striking photos that make up his project, the Horsemen of Semonkong.

Pierce first decided to photograph the people of Semonkong while working on another project, in which he documented miners who had become sick while working in gold mines.

"In my search for the 56 miners, I traveled through Lesotho and was awestruck by the beauty of the country and the striking imagery of the horse riders and herders."

Pierce spent the next six months planning his trip back to the area, and then spent eight days photographing the natives.

At Columbia University, most undergraduate students must pass a swim test in order to graduate.

Engineering students at the school's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, however, are not required to complete the test.

The reason? Well, in the event of a flood, engineering students could simply whip up a bridge or a boat to escape the raging water (at least, that's what the tour guides at Columbia will jokingly tell you).

Exemption from the swim test isn't the only perk of majoring in engineering at Columbia. Graduates of this program also typically go on to earn pretty hefty paychecks.

We recently reviewed PayScale's latest College Salary Report to get a sense of which school's engineering students go on to earn the most money — and found that Columbia landed the No. 5 spot.

PayScale, the creator of the world's largest compensation database, looked at the starting and mid-career pay for over a million college grads — including professionals who graduated with a bachelor's from 963 colleges and universities.

Its College Salary Report, which was compiled using data from employees who successfully completed PayScale's employee survey, sorts the results by school, degree, and college major.

Here are the 27 schools where students with a bachelor's in engineering go on to earn the most money 10-plus years into their career:

Let's be honest: the best part of any auto show is the supercar showing.

That's not to discredit other interesting and important aspects of the Paris Motor Show. This year's show gave us a closer look at Mercedes' electric car plans, as well as some good insight on what next year's SUVs will look like.

But there's a simple pleasure when it comes to gawking at high-speed cars you probably can never afford. And for that reason alone, we present the following round-up:

SEE ALSO: The 7 most impressive SUVs unveiled at the Paris Motor Show

8. Citroën's hybrid concept car the CXperience produces between 250 to 300 horsepower and offers a 37-mile all-electric range.

7. French automaker Renault unveiled a stunning electric concept car called the Trezor. The car's electric motor has maximum power of 260 kW or 350 horsepower, and it can get to 62 mph in less than 4 seconds.

You can take a closer look at the Trezor here.

6. Mercedes' stunning Vision-Maybach 6 with its gull-wing doors was on display. It has four electric motors that generate a total of 738 horsepower while drawing juice from an underfloor 80 kilowatt-hour battery pack. It can reach a top speed of 155 mph and get to 60 mph in less than four seconds.

You can take a closer look at the Vision-Maybach 6 here.

Laziness begets laziness.

Why go to the gym tonight? After all, you haven't gone in a week. Why take out the garbage when your whole apartment is a mess?

Good points. But it's time to break the cycle.

We browsed two Redditthreads on overcoming laziness and pulled out the easiest ways to set yourself on a path toward greater productivity.

These aren't major life overhauls — instead, they're small tweaks to your mindset and daily routine that can help you start getting stuff done.

Read on and get inspired.

SEE ALSO: 10 fresh ways to trick yourself into breaking bad habits — and building better ones

1. Set a 10-minute alarm

Multiple Redditors shared some variation on the idea that you should tell yourself you'll only work on the dreaded task for a designated time period — and then you can stop.

Here's an example, from backformore: "I set an alarm for 10 minutes and then see how much I can get done in that time. Usually, it gets me motivated to keep going after the timer goes off, but if it doesn't at least I did something."

Meanwhile, psychologist and procrastination expert Timothy A. Pychl gave Psychology Today much the same advice. Essentially, you "make a deal with yourself" that even though you don't like doing the task, you do it anyway for 10 minutes. Once you're already involved, it's less tempting to quit.

2. Leave yourself an easy task for the following morning

Rosco7 points out that he's more likely to procrastinate at work when he's got a hard problem ahead of him.

If, on the other hand, he knows that the problem won't take much time or effort to solve, he dives right into it, and then into the rest of his work as well:

Here's my big trick: I always try to leave myself something easy to do first thing the next morning. If I find a programming bug and see that it will be an easy fix, I leave it for the next morning. If I need to package up an installer for a new release, leave it for next morning. That way I have something easy to start out with, and I'm less tempted to do something else first.

3. Exercise

Several Redditors highlighted the importance of exercise for beating laziness, particularly when you do it first thing in the morning.

As hackday puts it, "Once you get your blood pumping, you will realize that you feel wakeful and energetic instead of sleepy and lethargic."

Indeed, research has found that young adults who reported being fatigued all the time felt more energetic and less tired when they exercised at a low or moderate intensity.

The PlayStation 2 still holds the title of the best-selling video game console of all time, with over 150 million units sold in its lifetime.

It managed to stay in production for over a decade, from 2000 until 2013. We took a crack at the impossible task of whittling its massive library down to just 10 of its best platform-exclusive games, but had to eventually expand that roster to 12 so we didn't hurt too many people's feelings by excluding something — though we are still almost certainly going to get a slew of angry emails for what we left out.

So, without further ado, here are the 12 best PS2 games of all time:

SEE ALSO: 13 video game consoles you've probably never heard of

"Gran Turismo 4"

The "Gran Turismo" franchise has always been a game for people who actually know things about cars, so much so that Jeremy Clarkson, formerly of "Top Gear," wrote about it in The Sunday Times, saying:

"They’ve even managed to accurately reflect the differences between a Mercedes SL 600 and the Mercedes SL 55, which is hard enough to do in real life. There's more, too. If you take a banked curve in the Bentley Le Mans car flat out, you’ll be fine. If you back off, even a little bit, you lose the aerodynamic grip and end up spinning. That's how it is."

He does lament that the BMW M3 CSL "brakes much better on the road than it does on the screen," but a video game can't be perfect, I guess.

But for a game that came out in 2004, "Gran Turismo 4" came pretty close.

"Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus"

Most games strive for hyperrealism, attempting to render every pore and wrinkle on someone's face, as if you were actually standing in front of them in the real world. It's a futile pursuit, because the following year, games promise to look even better and more realistic than ever before.

That's part of what makes the "Sly Cooper" series so great: Rather than try to replicate reality, it puts players in a decidedly Disney-like world, like an interactive Saturday morning cartoon.

That, mixed with the series delightful mix of stealth and platforming challenges, makes "Sly Cooper" a game worth remembering.

"Okami"

At first glance, it's pretty easy to see why "Okami" had to be included on this list. It has an amazing aesthetic, like a Japanese ink drawing come to life.

In practice, "Okami" plays a lot like "Legend of Zelda," but its aesthetic is more than just for looks. In place of Link's items, like the Hookshot or ice arrows, you'll learn different brushstrokes that modify the game's world.

At any time, you can freeze the game and actually draw specific patterns on the screen — a slash, for example will damage enemies, a circle will cause the sun to rise, and you can even fill in the gaps on a broken bridge, causing it to be magically repaired.

In short, "Okami" is not only one of the PS2's most beautiful games, but also one of its most innovative.

Photographer Miles Ladin has been documenting high-profile socialites and celebrities for publications like the New York Times and W Magazine for more than 20 years.

With his discreet camera and off-camera flash, Ladin captures candid moments of the frenzied backstage atmosphere of runway shows, the dinner tables of intimate parties, and the chaotic media flurry that surrounds these type of events.

His newest book and gallery show "Supermodels at the End of Time" takes a look back at his best shots from the 1990s and early '00s of the biggest modeling stars, and adds a sense of humor with captions from Bret Easton Ellis' satirical novel: "Glamorama." 

The show is on display at New York's Station Independent Projects until October 30th.

SEE ALSO: Stunning photos give a totally unexpected perspective into how the 1% parties

Ladin's new book and gallery show is made up of photos taken between 1994 and 2002.

"For many years I had been playing around with [the idea of] combining my supermodel pictures from the 1990s with text from the Bret Easton Ellis’ novel "Glamorama,"" Ladin told Business Insider. The book, written in 1998, satirizes celebrity culture of the 90s.

While humor plays a large role in Ladin's work, he made it clear it's never meant to be mean-spirited.

They say the early bird catches the worm, and research suggests there might be some truth to the old adage.

Waking up with (or before) the sun allows executives like Apple CEO Tim Cook and "Shark Tank" investor Kevin O'Leary to get a head start on the day, knocking out tasks before the rest of the world has rolled out of bed.

Those "extra" hours with less distractions and fresh energy also give them a chance to do some creative thinking, fit in a workout, and spend time with family. And it should be noted that waking up early doesn't necessarily mean losing sleep — some of the smartest leaders understand that being effective means getting a full night's sleep.

Here are 23 early risers who may convince you never to hit snooze again.

Max Nisen, Aaron Taube, and Rachel Sugar contributed to earlier versions of this article.

Apple CEO Tim Cook wakes up at 3:45 a.m. and gets a head start on email.

The tech titan is known for getting up early.

According to a Time profile, "He wakes up at 3:45 every morning ('Yes, every morning'), does email for an hour, stealing a march on those lazy East Coasters three time zones ahead of him, then goes to the gym, then Starbucks (for more e-mail), then work. 'The thing about it is, when you love what you do, you don't really think of it as work. It's what you do. And that's the good fortune of where I find myself.'"

FLOTUS Michelle Obama is working out by 4:30 a.m.

While the president is known for getting very little sleep, he's got nothing on the first lady, who tells Oprah she starts her days with a 4:30 a.m. workout before her kids wake up. 

"If I don't exercise, I won't feel good. I'll get depressed," she says, noting that it's easier to pull that off at the White House, where she has "much more support" than the average person.

AOL CEO Tim Armstrong starts his day at 5:00 a.m. but tries not to send too many early-morning e-mails.

The former Google executive tells The Guardian that he's "not a big sleeper" and wakes up at 5 a.m. or 5:15 a.m. every day to work out, read, tinker with the site, and hang out with his middle daughter, who is also an early riser.

Armstrong says he tries to hold off on sending emails until around 7:00 a.m.

We call 'em "cute utes," and they're increasingly all the rage. What are they? Subcompact crossover SUVs, the 21st-century version of the "econo-boxes" of the late 20th century — minus the box, but with lots of econo.

They're also fairly adorable, wittle smushed-down SUVs that don't resemble that 1990s hatchback, which screamed "college student" or "first job." Hence the cute before ute.

We may be looking at a paradigm shift in the auto industry in the US, as carmakers abandon passengers cars — and small cars in particular, with their skimpy profit margins — and focus on SUVs and crossover. If that's happening, then car companies don't want to lose out on their youngest potential customers. It can be difficult to "conquest," say, a Honda Civic buyer if Honda has perfectly good small SUVs to move them into.

So start them with a cute ute instead!

But which one? Well, that's an easy question to answer. You aren't going to find a better subcompact SUV than the Mazda CX-3.

Here's why:

SEE ALSO: The $70,000 Grand Sport is the greatest Corvette ever

Behold, the 2017 CX-3: Grand Touring trim level, all-wheel-drive, "Dynamic Blue Mica paint job.

Our test car tipped the cost scales at $28,500, and it had pretty much everything you could ask for (and pay for off the options lists). The base front-wheel-drive version can be had for only about $20,000.

I've owned three Mazdas and have always liked their looks: snappy without being too attention-getting. The CX-3 is no exception. It's definitely not large, but it doesn't appear to be a massive compromise on the proportions of a larger compact crossover. Mazda currently sells two other crossovers in the US: the CX-5 and the CX-9.

The late-night ground is shifting, and with the 2016 election less than a month away — and wilder than ever — the shows are particularly relevant in this moment.

Now that legends of late night like David Letterman and Jay Leno have finally moved on, others are quickly rising or trying to figure out their place: Stephen Colbert, in a move from Comedy Central to Letterman's CBS spot; Trevor Noah, the still-newish millennial face of "The Daily Show"; and perhaps most notably, Samantha Bee, whose acerbic, bawdy, and pointedly feminist weekly take on the news on TBS feels connected to Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" tenure. Larry Wilmore, after struggling to find his audience, was sadly canceled by Comedy Central.

There are the other hosts of course, like Jimmy Fallon and James Corden, whose work only occasionally touches on political satire, yet they've amassed passionate followings for their antics like "Carpool Karaoke" and "Lip Sync Battle."

But which of the late-night shows is most worth your time? We watched all the current major players, focusing on the comedy-centric programs, and assessed the best and worst.

Here are the best and worst in late night, ranked:

SEE ALSO: Here are the must-see movies most likely to win Oscars in 2017

13. "Last Call with Carson Daly" (NBC)

Carson Daly's very late offering, "Last Call," feels like the gig that best fits the former '90s MTV V.J. He's come out of his shell on "The Voice" and shows his chipper side in the morning for "Today's" Orange Room. But "Last Call" allows him to use strange camera angles, don his leather jacket, and give bands some exposure. From performances to interviews, the show plays with artsy technique and effects. It's not for everyone, but that's probably why it's at 1:35 a.m.

12. "@midnight with Chris Hardwick" (Comedy Central)

Perhaps the first late-night show catering to the millennials, "@midnight" combines the most trending topics from the internet with comedians to create a hilarious half-hour of television. Chris Hardwick is the perfect mix of geek and jokester as the host, not overshadowing the comics but also holding his own. If you are tired of the traditional late-night format, give this a try.

11. "Real Time With Bill Maher" (HBO)

Sometimes on a Friday night you need to vent, and over on HBO, there's no one better to give you that release than Bill Maher. His venom is usually directed toward the Republicans, but in this current climate of gun violence and presidential hopefuls, he has enough hate for everyone. Sometimes his guests can't get a word in, but on the right night when there's a good mix of topics to discuss and guests who aren't scared by Bill, it can be a lot of fun.

My very first car was a 1997 Subaru Forester and all it came with was a simple turn key that both started the car and unlocked the door.

But keys have come a long way since even my early driving days. Some automakers have ditched the classic key altogether for high-tech fobs, while others are giving classic keys an aesthetic upgrade.

Here are some of our favorites:

SEE ALSO: RANKED: The 15 best car innovations of 2016 so far

The BMW 7-series' key has a full-color touch screen.

It's only suiting that a car as high-tech as the BMW 7-series would come with a key fob to match it.

It comes with four buttons to lock and unlock the car, pop open the trunk, and panic. But it also comes with a full-color 2.2-inch touch screen that lets you swipe to see information like whether all the doors are locked and your current fuel range.

You can also use the key to control the climate in the car and toggle the lights. But by far the coolest part is that you can use it to park the car remotely.

Tesla's Model S key can be used to summon the car.

Tesla's key fob was actually designed to look like a mini Tesla Model S

In addition to locking and unlocking the car doors, the Tesla key can be used to tell the car to pull forward and backward, all from a semi-remote distance and without anyone inside of the car.

Koenigsegg's shield fob looks like something a superhero would carry.

When locking and unlocking the doors of a Koenigsegg, you'll need something that can make as big of a statement as the car itself. 

Koenigsegg's metal shield key doesn't have any hugely crazy special features, but what it can give you is the sense of authority and a firm reminder that you drive an insane Swedish supercar. 

If driving one of these insane supercars doesn't give you the thrill or feel of power you were looking for, holding this awesome shield key fob just might.

Job-hunting site CareerCast sifted through its database of nationwide IT jobs and came up with a list of the best of them for 2016, based on salary and the importance of the work at their companies.

They also looked at how fast each type of job is growing, and projected how likely that job is to keep growing.

So these in-demand jobs of 2016 are going to stay that way for 2017 and, mostly likely, for many more years to come.

No. 6, Network and computer systems administrator: growing by 8%

The IT professionals who manage computers and computer networks earned an average of $77,810 in 2016.

It's true the trend toward cloud computing – renting the computers you need and accessing them over the internet – means companies are buying less computers than they used to. But demand for this skill will not vanish. Job openings are expected to grow by 8% through 2024.

No. 5, Data Scientist: growing by 16%

Data Scientists earned on average $128,240 in 2016. And thanks to the boom in all things data and big data, demand for this skill isn't going away anytime soon.

Jobs for data scientists are expected to rise 16% through 2024.

No. 4, Software Engineer: growing by 17%

Software engineers earned $100,690 on average in 2016. 

This is a skill in demand everywhere, from high-tech companies to everyday organizations needing custom software to serve their own customers and employees.

Growth for software engineers is expected to rise 17% through 2024.

Halloween Terror has come to "Overwatch"!

Blizzard's multiplayer shooter tries to keep its players interested by rolling out new content on a regular basis. For October, that new content will be in the form of a Halloween-themed event, which is live now through November 1.

Here's everything you can expect to see when you log on.

Lots of new Halloween-themed skins, emotes, and victory poses.

"Overwatch" site Overpwn posted a slew of images showing the Halloween-themed skins for Mercy, Junkrat, Ana, Symmetra, Reinhardt, Zenyatta, Bastion, Reaper, Pharah, Roadhog, and Soldier: 76.

Additionally, some characters have an R.I.P. victory pose and other Halloween-themed emotes.

A new Weekly Brawl called Junkenstein's Revenge

This new game mode shakes up the structure of "Overwatch" in a significant way: Rather than be structured as a player-versus-player event, the new "Junkenstein's Revenge" mode appears to be a mode in which players will fight against waves of computer-controlled enemies.

The event will let players choose between Ana, Hanzo, McCree, and Soldier: 76 as they fight against the forces of Junkenstein, the Halloween-themed alter-ego of Defense hero Junkrat.

Special Halloween loot boxes

Much like the Summer Games event, special Halloween loot boxes are guaranteed to drop at least one Halloween item.

According to Reddit, these new items can also be purchased with regular coins, though they appear to be significantly more expensive than normal items. This will be a welcome departure from the structure of the Summer Games event, in which items could only be acquired at random.

Video game fans are second to none. And among video game fans, "Gears of War" fans are in a universe of their own. They have more in common with Super Bowl-level football fans than your average "Super Mario" player.

It's not uncommon for "Gears of War" fans to get tattooed in the name of their devotion to the series. To be clear, that is in no way a common trait of even the most hardcore video game fans.

Yet here we are, with "Gears of War 4" having just arrived on the Xbox One and PC:

The iconic Xbox series just got its first major installment on the Xbox One, and it's some of the finest work in the series so far. 

And with new entries comes new stuff, big changes, and more gorgeous graphics than ever before. Here's your primer on all things "Gears of War 4":

In all previous "Gears of War" games, the iconic Marcus Fenix led his small group of soldiers against the "Locust" (you'll see them in a moment).

Instead, in "Gears of War 4," you're mostly playing as Marcus Fenix's son, JD Fenix.

You'll actually play as a variety of different soldiers throughout the "Gears of War 4" campaign.

There’s a reason why everyone flocks to destinations like New York City, South Florida, and Cancun in December and January — between great weather, fun activities, and festive atmospheres, they’re popular around the holidays year after year.

But, you can still have all of that without the large crowds or high prices.

Here are 10 great alternatives to traditionally popular holiday destinations. Happy holidays, indeed.

Instead of South Florida Go to Cape San Blas

Popular South Florida spots like the Florida Keys, Miami, Orlando, and Palm Beach get crowded during the holiday season. Hotel prices for a three-star property are close to $250 per night in Downtown Miami for December holiday dates, according to CheapTickets.com. However, you can beat the high prices by opting for Florida’s “Forgotten Coast,” the area around Cape San Blas near the Panhandle. According to experiential travel company Natural Retreats, three- to four-bedroom vacation homes are about $600 less on average compared to Miami in winter.

Temperatures might not be as warm as they are in the south, but you'll still enjoy plenty of sunshine and water activities. Visit the Cape San Blas Lighthouse, take a hike in Dead Lakes Recreation Area, fish at Indian Pass, or enjoy dinner along Port St. Joe Marina. The area is also dog-friendly, so it's a great destination for the whole family.

Instead of Switzerland Go to Slovenia

Instead of Cancun Go to Costa Maya

Cancun is predicted to be the most popular holiday destination this year, according to booking data from CheapOair. If you have your heart set on a Mexican getaway, look beyond Cancun to Costa Maya, about three hours south of the Yucatan Peninsula. This area is less developed, but thanks to a newer cruise port, it's getting better tourist services and infrastructure. And it’s far less pricey: According to Shore Excursions Group, the average four-star hotel stay along the Costa Maya in December can be up to 25 percent less expensive than Cancun.

Costa Maya has a coral reef, pristine beaches, and a rich history, with access to some of the lesser-known Maya sites like Chacchoben, Kohunlich, and Dzibanche.

The world's attitude toward North Korea tends to swing between playful mocking and genuine horror. 

Like dictatorships before it — namely, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia — North Korea tends to embody that range of emotion through its architecture.

On the one hand, there's the country's fondness for pastel hues, which recall 1950s Americana. But on the other, there are the towering concrete buildings that shroud observers in their shadow.

In a country that keeps so much under wraps, the architecture ends up speaking volumes.

Entering the capital city of Pyongyang, visitors pass through the Arch of Reunification. The two women holding a conjoined North and South Korea symbolize supreme leader Kim Il Sung's vision for the two countries.

Immediately, visitors are struck by the Workers' Party Monument. The outer belt reads, "Long live the Workers' Party of Korea, the organizer and guide of all victories of the Korean people!"

Downtown Pyongyang's skyline is punctuated by the 105-story Ryugyong Hotel, currently the tallest abandoned building in the world. It hasn't had any work done on it since 1992.

According to the Pew Research Center, the middle class is shrinking— and as a result, the upper class in growing.

In fact, the share of adults in the upper-income tier between the years 2000 and 2014 increased in 172 of the 229 US metro areas analyzed in its recent report.

We took a closer look at how much upper-income households — defined as those with an income that is more than double the US median household income — are earning in major US cities. Using data from Pew, we've highlighted the share of the population that qualifies as upper-income in each metro, along with the median household income of that upper class.

Additionally, we included the annual household income required to be in the top 1% in each metro, using an interactive tool created by the The New York Times.

The Galaxy Note 7 is officially toast.

If you have a Note 7, the Samsung smartphone that has caught fire in several incidents, you should power it down and return it immediately.

Luckily, all wireless carriers in the US will let you replace your Note 7 with any other phone they sell. So, which one should you choose?

Here are our picks of the best replacement options for the Note 7 (ranked in order of preference). We're mostly sticking with big-screen, premium phones in this list.

• Pinterest offers plenty of ideas for couples Halloween costumes.
• There's Mr. and Mrs. Smith or a fried egg with bacon.

It's hard enough to think of one good Halloween costume, but twice as difficult to find one that works for two.

Luckily, there are plenty of options.

If you're going for relevance, try Ash and Pikachu. Or choose something timeless like a pizza slice and delivery boy.

A delivery boy isn't complete without a slice of pizza.

And an egg definitely requires some bacon.

If food isn't your thing, go for toiletries like soap and a loofah.

The INSIDER Summary:

• Live like royalty in one of these European castle hotels.
• Stay the night in historic castles dating as far back to the 13th-century. 

Castles may have been reserved for the noble and elite centuries ago, but now many of the striking structures have transformed into luxury hotels for romantic rendezvous or memorable family getaways. The fortified buildings -- with buttresses, stone arches, and ornate detail -- no longer protect against attacks, instead offering travelers a historic and undeniably unique place to stay. From Irelandto Tuscany, we've rounded up the best castle hotels in Europe when you want to sleep in a bed that's fit for a queen or king. 

Ashford Castle | Cong, County Mayo, Western Ireland

Ashford Castle embodies the fantasy of the Irish castle hotel, featuring a massive historic stone facade, complete with towers and turrets; gorgeous, manicured grounds; a stunning setting on a huge lake; and common spaces that are truly grand, with rich wood paneling, chandeliers, and antique furniture. The 82 sumptuous, individually decorated rooms combine old-fashioned grandeur with modern tech amenities (including electronic shades, free Wi-Fi, and wall outlets for both U.S. and European plugs). George V Dining Room offers excellent, formal fine dining (jackets are required in the evening), and afternoon tea can be enjoyed in the Connaught Room with lake views. The wide range of estate activities includes falconry lessons, boat tours on the lake, golf on the nine-hole course, clay shooting, and archery. It's one of the best hotels in not only Ireland but the world, and for many guests will be a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Bovey Castle Hotel | North Bovey, Dartmoor National Park, Devon

A grand estate in Dartmoor National Park, Bovey Castle Hotel is a luxury retreat without the all the pomp that often comes with a stay at a manor with a pedigree. A sportsperson's dream, it's ideally placed for a country escape, and has its own 18-hole golf course. Hunting expeditions, fishing, and falconry are all on offer, along with croquet and tennis for those who prefer not to leave the yard. The 69 classic rooms could use some updating, but each has a lovely view, and private stone lodges with kitchens are hidden around the grounds. The service can be more informal than some might expect at this price point, but for most the relaxed atmosphere is part of the draw.

Hotel Schloss Monchstein | Salzburg, Austrian Alps, Austria

The five-pearl Hotel Schloss Monchstein is a luxurious and romantic historic castle hotel with panoramic views of Salzburg from its position on top of Monchsberg Mountain.

The spacious 24 rooms and suites have romantic antique decor, flat-screen TVs, and minibars, and some have terraces. The hotel’s amenities -- an infinity pool, hot tub, and spa -- reflect the relaxing, luxurious nature of this property, and there's an attractive outdoor terrace with a fireplace, bar, and restaurant with the option of dining in the tower spire.

'Freakonomics Radio' will get you to question your assumptions.

When the journalist Stephen Dubner teamed up with the economist Steven Levitt for the 2005 book "Freaknomics," they had no idea it would sell more than five million copies around the world and spark a franchise.
