I first learned to drive in January in New York.

I took my car down a snowy hill and immediately panicked because I thought the stocatto noise my brakes were making was a bad sign.

I ended up letting go of the brakes and skidding into a two-way street that was (thankfully) devoid of cars.

But I like to think I've come a long way since then. At the very least, I survived driving slalom-style in a Chevy Cruze in the snow, and that should redeem my past errors somewhat.

That slalom snow course I drove on was at Lime Rock Park, the site of a road racing circuit in Lakeville Connecticut. I drove up there for a class organized by Chevrolet to learn more about the ins-and-outs of winter driving.

I didn't get to drive on the big-girl racing circuit, but I did a few rounds on their winding snow course and conducted a few acceleration tests.

Here's everything I learned from Pat Daly, a Lime Rock driving instructor who rode shotgun with me on the winter course, and others on campus that day:

Welcome to Lime Rock Park. Here you see the entrance to the slalom course Chevrolet created using a mix of freshly fallen snow from the night before and some they brought in.

Chevrolet roped off the winding course with orange traffic cones, but the track wasn't so packed down that you didn't get the true off-road experience.

We first learned that it's most dangerous to drive when the temperature ranges between 24 and 34 degrees Fahrenheit with snow or ice on the ground. That's because snow or ice will actively melt in that temperature range when cars drive over it, so your tires can't grip as easily.

The INSIDER Summary: 

• Food is one of the most important parts of Super Bowl Sunday. 
• Usually chicken wings and French fries come to mind when prepping a Super Bowl meal.
• There are plenty of healthy recipe options that can make your Super Bowl a success from Healthy Tostadas to Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower.

Super Bowl LI, a face-off between AFC Champions New England Patriots and NFC Champions Atlanta Falcons, will bring diehard fans from opposing teams together to watch the NFL Champions rise to the top. Game of the year aside, there's another main attraction on Super Bowl Sunday that brings fans out from the woodwork to gawk, cheer, and indulge: the food spread. Before the thoughts of cream-heavy artichoke dip and dense pizza send you into a food coma, though, take a deep breath.

It's 2017, and a matchup like New England versus Atlanta warrants bringing something new to the table — literally and figuratively. Sure, when people think of Super Bowl feasts their first thought goes to the greasy chicken wings and extra crispy french fries, and damn does it sound good. And it's not a bad thing to go all out! But what if the chicken wings and crispy potatoes were still possible, only healthier?

Save the panic attack and uncertainty for bigger problems of today, crack open a beverage, and look no further than these 21 healthy recipes for Super Bowl 2017 parties everywhere. 

Sweet Potato Coins With Gorgonzola And Bacon

A creative spin on the crispy potato skin, sweet potatoes are healthier than regular potatoes vitamin-wise, and they're aesthetically more pleasing. Grab a bag of sweet potatoes in a variety of colors — orange, purple, yellow — and get creative with this recipe from Prevention RD. No one can say no to a potato top with bacon and cheese!

Spicy Jalapeño Hummus

A unique take on hummus, this recipe from Tori Avey, turns chickpeas into a guacamole wannabe, and your guests will love it. Pair with toasted pita chips for a healthier alternative to fried tortilla chips.

Pro Tip: The more spice, the better.

Quinoa And Black Bean Chili

While most chilis are a standard mix of meat, beans, and tomatoes, keep it simple, lean, and cheap with this vegetarian version. If you wish, you can add meat, but this recipe from Prevention RD is a hearty one for your specific-diet guests. Looks like chili, tastes like chili; it's chili!

The INSIDER Summary:

• It is not too early to start buying lipstick for spring 2017.  
• Spring 2017 is taking a more unconventional path with its makeup trends.
• Look out for mauve, taupe, blue, and green lipsticks. 

One of the easiest (and best) ways to get pumped for a new season, IMO, is by switching up your color palette. And if you're ready to start subbing some new shades into your makeup bag, your spring 2017 lipstick picks might look a little different than previous years. Because instead of classic pinks and pastels (although, let's be honest, those shades will always work), this spring is taking a slightly more unconventional path with its makeup trends. I'm talking unexpected neutrals and brights from greiges, mauves, and taupes, to blues and greens. Oh yeah, this spring is about to get edgy.

So if you're looking to add some of these hues to your beauty routine, fear not, you won't have to look far. Plenty of brands from both the department stores and the drugstores have released their takes on these editorial lipstick shades. Oh yeah— you'll want to free up some space on your swatching arm for your next shopping escapade. But if you're not quite sure where to start looking, how about here? I've rounded up 15 of the most exciting new lines and shades (and even some old favorites that still fit the bill) that you'll definitely want to try. The only question now is: Which one will you rock first?

1. Nude Beiges & Browns

Tarte Color Splash Hydrating Lipstick, $21, Tarte Cosmetics

Brown is still in, and whether you take it with a pinch of gray, mauve, or berry, it's perfect for spring.

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — The Marine Corps' big West Coast trade show kicked off on Thursday, and it featured more than 60 defense contractors showing off everything from drones that can fit in the palm of your hand to machine-guns that can blast a target with 200 rounds of 30mm ammo in under a minute.

Sponsored by the Marine Corps League, the 2017 Marine West show held at Camp Pendleton's 22 Area parade field gives a chance for Marines to check out the latest and greatest in military technology, and perhaps later, ask their bosses to buy it for them to use downrange.

"This event is really for the [non-commissioned officers] to see equipment they like," said Maj. Gen. Mike Regner (Ret.) of the Marine Corps League. "And then tell the general what they need in the field."

Business Insider took a look around the show and spoke with a number of vendors to see what Marines might be adding to their kit soon.

Here's what we saw.

Marine West 2017 was held at the 22 Area parade deck on Camp Pendleton, right across from the base air station.

Right outside the doors was a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) by Oshkosh Defense. The company scored a $6.7 billion contract in 2015 to replace much of the aging Humvee fleet with these trucks.

But, before we could head in, there was an opening ceremony that featured a Marine Corps color guard.

In the 19th century, science was still an amateur's game. Any well-heeled gentleman with enough ambition—or obsession—could fixate on a field and, in some cases, pioneer new knowledge.

Étienne Léopold Trouvelot wanted to be an entomologist. So much so, when he decamped to Massachusetts from Louis-Napoléon's France in 1852, he took with him a cache of Lymantria dispar dispa, commonly known as the Gypsy Moth. Trouvelot had been scheming on a way to produce silk using the moth's larvae.

Unfortunately, the insects escaped, triggering an infestation which proved impossible to manage. To this day the plague of white moths continues to wreck havoc on northeastern verdancy to the tune of $868 million annually. Call it a war on trees.

But after the episode with his moths, Trouvelot lost interest in bugs and decided to fall back on his former experience as a part-time astronomer and artist.

His illustrations landed him a job at the Harvard observatory, and later a stint at the U.S. Naval Observatory where he was allowed access to state-of-the-art refracting telescopes.

Trouvelot was especially drawn to the sun, its protuberances and the "veiled" sunspots he discovered in 1875. Today his name is attached to separate craters on both the Moon and Mars.

Trouvelot produced thousands of beautifully impressionistic images over his career. His cosmic interpretations came from direct observation, but they also allowed viewers access to a mostly invisible world at a time when people relied on illustrations to show them what they couldn't see.

Today's photographic equivalents are no less impressive, but they've lost some of the artistry — and authorship — which imbued these fantastical early representations with an ineffable mystery and adventure.

Snap's main product, Snapchat, has a reputation for being difficult to use, especially if you're not part of its target market of teens and young millennials. 

But since it's asking investors who are typically older to invest in its IPO, Snap included a handy 10-slide guide to navigating and using the app, which has 158 million daily users, according to a financial filing published on Thursday. 

Here's how to use Snapchat, the disappearing messages app, according to Snap:

Here are the five main screens that comprise Snapchat.

Let's take a look at the first screen you see, the Camera screen.

Snap writes:

Making a Snap is simple. Users either tap the Camera button to take a photo, or hold the Camera button to record a video up to ten seconds long. Immediately after a Snap has been created on the Camera screen, the Preview screen displays the photo or video Snap for the user to review and edit using our Creative Tools.

From the camera screen, you can turn on "Lenses," that transform your face into a dog, or a taco, or other fun cartoons.

Snap writes:

The Camera serves as the interface for our Creative Tools. Most of these tools are available on the Preview screen after a user takes a Snap, but Lenses are used on the Camera screen before taking a Snap.

When you tap on the screen, the Camera focuses and detects objects in the scene. For example, if a user taps on his or her face, we immediately show Lenses at the bottom of the screen, adjacent to the Camera button. Lenses are interactive animations that are overlaid on a person’s face or the world around them. A user can easily create a Snap while using a Lens.

Snapchat parent company Snap has finally filed for its long-awaited IPO, planning to raising $3 billion at a valuation of $25 billion.

The $3 billion number is a placeholder amount and certain to change as the company sets a price on the deal.

Snap's S-1 filing gives us our first detailed look ever into Snapchat's business — from daily active users, to trends, to annual revenue. 

Here are the 13 charts that tell you everything you need to know about Snap's business.

It finally happened. Snapchat's parent company Snap, Inc. filed for a $3 billion initial public offering on Thursday, offering the world a highly-anticipated look inside the secretive startup's finances, operations, and plans for the future.

Snap declares itself a "camera company," after all, so the US Securities and Exchange Commission filing was chock-full of images, diagrams, and charts.

LONDON — The career of almost every prime minister in the UK since 1945 has ended or complete or partial failure, according to historian Sir Anthony Seldon.

He should know.

The author of over 35 books on contemporary history and politics, Seldon has written the authorised biographies of the last four prime ministers, and his forensic insight into the workings of the office led to his appointment as historical adviser to 10 Downing Street (and a knighthood).

As the debate around Theresa May's leadership continues — with the Economist newspaper memorably characterising her "Theresa Maybe" for her perceived indecision — Seldon explored what historical characteristics make a successful premier, during a speech given on Monday to the policy group Institute for Government.

Here are Seldon's 10 golden rules for a successful prime minister to follow.

1. Secure the citadel

Get a team of staff in Downing Street doing the right jobs — and "hold on to them," Seldon said.

The most successful prime ministers like Clement Attlee, Margaret Thatcher, and Winston Churchill had loyal teams of aides, advisers and private secretaries which they retained throughout their tenure, and who helped them to work effectively with other MPs and civil servants.

2. Find an authentic voice

Find your voice, and do so early on. "If you don’t find your authentic voice quickly, the press will find it for you," Seldon said.

"David Cameron never found his authentic voice," said Seldon. "It has to be true to you, and it has to tell you a story about why you want the job. No one quite knew why David Cameron wanted the job, and that was unfortunate."

3. Be macro, then micro

"A leader is only remembered for one or two things — maybe three — so make certain they're things you really want to be remembered for," said Seldon.

"Get your macro sorted out, and don't swallow it in the micro. Talk relentlessly about those things all the way through your premiership, then talk them up as you're coming to your legacy. Then do the micro."

Former Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard has retired after 21 years as a professional football.

The athlete — who holds the record for the most goals scored at his former football club Chelsea— is regarded as one of the most successful English midfield players of all time, and was even awarded an OBE by the Queen for his services to football in 2015.

Now 38, Lampard lives in New York City with his wife — TV presenter Christine Bleakley — and his two daughters: Luna (aged 11) and Isla (aged nine).

We took a look back at Lampard's life, from his childhood being raised by football aristocracy, to his success at Stamford Bridge and the controversy that surrounded his relationship with model Elen Rives.

Former Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard has retired at age 38, after 21 years of professional football.

With an estimated net worth of around £30 million, he is one of the world's highest-paid athletes, as well as one of the most recognisable faces in football.

He was in the top 100 of Forbes' highest-paid athletes list in 2015 after being handed £12.4 million in winnings and £3.2 million in sponsorship deals.

Lampard was born on June 20, 1978 to a family of footballers. His father — Frank Lampard Senior — was a midfielder for West Ham United and played for the England national team, while his uncle, Harry Redknapp, was the manager of Tottenham Hotspur. Lampard Jr attended the fee-paying Brentwood School in Essex until 1994, when he joined West Ham United's youth team. A year later, he signed his first professional contract with the club.

Being happy is not an exact formula — earning a lot of money does not necessarily equate to a happy life.

A new survey by InterNations, the world’s largest network for people who live and work abroad, shows that this is the case for expats across the globe.

The company asked 14,300 people living overseas, representing 174 nationalities and living in 191 countries or territories, to rate 43 different aspects of life abroad on a scale of 1-7.

One of the sub-indexes looked at personal happiness.

Some of the countries that made the top slots showed that the happiest expats across the globe were not necessarily earning a huge amount, nor were they in places that had the best infrastructure. But something about living in these countries satisfied them.

Take a look at the top 17:

17. Portugal —The country ranks in the top 5 "dream destinations" for expats, according to the survey. It is particularly popular for people emigrating with children.

16. Oman — Expats going to this country usually move with a job already secured. Once they are there, many say good personal safety (57%), political stability (46%), and peacefulness (62%) all contribute to a happy life.

15. Kenya —The country is becoming increasingly popular with expats, thanks to job growth in various sectors, beautiful surroundings, incredible weather, and a low cost of living.

A key to any good hotel stay is having a killer restaurant onsite.

Order the grilled Key West shrimp, best washed down with a draft "Say High!" cocktail: highland park 12-year whisky, fresh lemon, citrus hops and honey.

Cafe Boulud at The Surrey, New York City

We know what you're thinking: wait, another New York hotel restaurant made the cut? Yes. This one, from Chef Daniel Boulud, may be located on East 76th Street, but it will transport your taste buds to Boulud’s native Rhône region: the seared duck breast is served with sunchoke, quince, and wild rice citrus coriander jus; the mocha bavaroise topped with whiskey ice cream. You know what they say on the Upper East Side: you can never be too rich, and that goes for food, too.

Pot at The Line Hotel, Los Angeles

Skip the chichi restaurant in the hotel's 2nd floor greenhouse and head straight to the lobby, where there's an edible Koreatown that was tailor-made for Instagram stories: you'll find hickory smoked duck breast on the menu, but there's saccharine Giant Fruity Pebbles Snow Ice with condensed milk, too. Pot is hands-down one of the best hotel restaurants.
 

Dating isn't easy these days — it's a lot of scrolling, swiping, and game-playing. Simply meeting someone is half the battle, but afterwards you're tasked with coming up with date ideas, which makes things even harder.

Sure, you could take them to a movie or a nice dinner — those will always be classics — but if you really want to impress them, you've got to think outside the box.

Luckily, there are tons of creative first date ideas for people on every budget and from any city. They're unique, unconventional, and (almost) guaranteed to help you learn more about your date. 

Here are 23 first date ideas that are sure to impress: 

1. Take a baking or cooking classes

Places like Sur la Table offer gourmet classes and "date nights" weekly. 

2. Go to a specialty bar

Whether it's a themed bar, a bar that lets you create your own drink, or something undercover like a speakeasy, it'll take "grabbing drinks" to a whole new level.

3. Volunteer together

Doing a beach clean-up, working at a soup kitchen, or helping build a house will reveal how caring the person you're dating is and it'll get your relationship started on the right foot. 

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "The OA" season one.

Netflix's polarizing sci-fi drama "The OA" is one of the most ambitious and divisive projects released by the streaming service. From the complicated season finale shooting scene to the mystical "movements" (choreographed by Sia's music video magician Ryan Heffington), there is plenty to be unpacked after experiencing the journey of OA. 

Keep reading for a look at the 13 most important details you probably missed.

OA did a movement in episode three — before the audience knew what the movements looked like.

While at the dinner table with her parents and the journalist who wants to write a book about her, OA gets flustered and puts her hands up to her forehead. Upon a first viewing, it simply looked like OA was distressed about the idea of reliving her experience, because at that point in the show the audience had no idea what the movements were.

Here's OA doing that same movement in her cell:

Redditor Treyokay pointed out that OA was performing this movement at the dinner table in episode three. Since the movements are so intimately linked to her relationship with Homer, it makes sense for OA to reflexively do them during times of distress. 

In that same episode, OA bought a purple wolf sweatshirt.

Though it seemed just like a quirky wardrobe choice, the sweatshirt likely had a much more personal meaning to OA. Some fans believe it was a direct callback to her time with Homer.

Within the last couple years, basic income — a system in which citizens receive regular payments to cover basic living costs — has touched nearly all corners of the world.

Experiments from Kenya to the Netherlands to California are investigating what happens when governments and private organizations give people money for nothing. Do people work less? Do they escape poverty? How many sit and do nothing?

Here are the experiments leading that charge in 2017.

SEE ALSO: Finland just launched an experiment giving 2,000 people free money until 2019

Kenya

In October 2016, GiveDirectly, a charity best known for its cash transfer programs, launched a pilot version of what will become the largest basic income experiment in history.

Beginning in the next few months, residents in 40 villages will each receive roughly $22.50 per month for 12 years. Meanwhile, 80 villages will get the same amount for just two years, another 80 will get a lump sum equal to the two-year amount, and 100 villages will get no money.

The experiment should produce some of the most comprehensive basic income data yet.

Finland

In a two-year experiment in Finland that launched on New Year's Day, Kela — the country's federal economic agency — is giving 2,000 unemployed citizens approximately $600 a month.

The goal is twofold: to measure how basic income could provide a new structure for social security, and to see whether people's productivity levels change when they receive the guaranteed stipend.

Oakland, California

Silicon Valley's largest startup accelerator, Y Combinator, announced in mid-2016 that it would soon begin giving monthly stipends between $1,000 and $2,000 a month to 100 families in Oakland.

In the true spirit of basic income, the families range in socioeconomic status and will receive the money even if they decide to leave the US.

If the pilot is a success, a five-year trial will follow.

Selecting the right hotel can make all of the difference to a successful vacation. And if you're taking the time to travel to a new place, you'll likely want only the best out of your accommodations.

Guests here can stay in suites, cottages, houses, or standard rooms. Primland is a bit remote — located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southern Virginia, it's 67 miles away from the nearest airport in Greensboro, North Carolina. 

9. Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa (Rancho Santa Fe, California)

Rooms at Rancho Valencia — a calm retreat 30 minutes north of San Diego — are spacious, starting at 900 square feet. Travelers rave about the hotel's Veladora restaurant, which serves an eclectic menu with Mediterranean roots.

8. Montage Deer Valley (Park City, Utah)

With its ski-in, ski-out access, the Montage Deer Valley is ideal for those wanting to hit the slopes in style. If skiing isn't your activity of choice, you can also make use of the hotel's large outdoor pool, kayak and canoe routes, and its hundreds of miles of accessible hiking trails. 

Nothing truly comes to a halt when the president of the United States goes on vacation. Heavy security, White House aides, military advisers, and various experts (totaling around 200 people) travel with them in case anything happens, and the work doesn't come to a stop. It's hardly a real break.

While he greatly favored his home state of Hawaii for his getaways while in office, former President Barack Obama went a bit further afield for his first true vacation in eight years. This past week, Obama was spotted vacationing on Richard Branson's private island in the Caribbean, and he looked more relaxed than ever. He was even photographed wearing a baseball cap backwards on the beach.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt spent holidays and birthdays in Warm Springs, Georgia, taking advantage of the natural spring waters as a healing method for his polio. His home there, known as the "Little White House," was a humble six-room cottage. FDR left a mark on the town by creating Roosevelt Warm Springs, a foundation that aims to empower those with disabilities.

President Harry Truman often vacationed at what was also called the "Little White House," however this home was located in Key West, Florida. As president, you sometimes have to hold a news conference even while on vacation.

President Dwight Eisenhower enjoyed playing golf and vacationing in Colorado. Before Eisenhower took off for his late-summer vacation in 1953, The New York Times reported that he'd be taking some work, as well as several members of his staff, along with him.

The auto industry is experimenting with yachts.

Companies like Aston Martin and Mercedes have unveiled stunning yachts in the past year. Most carmakers have only sold the yachts on a very limited basis. Some haven't sold them at all and have only presented them as concepts. So it's safe to say we haven't seen an automaker make a real pivot into the yachting business.

Still, the luxurious yachts that have been released are certainly something to behold — scroll down for a closer look:

SEE ALSO: Here's how the super rich buy mega-yachts

1. Mercedes unveiled a beautifully sleek yacht in September. However, the automaker only made 10 and is only selling one per country. Deliveries begin the second-half of this year.

Pricing for the 46-foot yacht began at $1.7 million. Mercedes said the yacht is Edition 1 of its Arrow460-Grandturismo yacht.

It comes with large side windows that can retract and extendable beds. It can travel at a top speed of 40 knots and fit 10 people.

Celebrity children grow up in an insane spotlight. Not only are the paparazzi following their moms and dads around, they're also trying to get shots of the kids themselves, too.

But it's not all bad for celeb children. These famous tots and toddlers will likely grow up to run the music industry, star in the next generation's biggest movies, and walk the red carpet at countless awards ceremonies.

Meet the 36 kids that will one day rule Hollywood: 

Girls might run the world right now, but in fifteen or so years, it'll be Bey and Jay's kids laying down the law — regardless of their gender.

Blue Ivy Carter is already a force to be reckoned with. With a set of twin siblings by her side, the Carter trio will make the world theirs — just as their parents have. 

"We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes," Queen Bey wrote in the caption of what's now the most liked picture ever on Instagram.

The Beckhams have four kids: Cruz, Romeo, Brooklyn, and Harper. All of them have athletic genes, killer looks, and great fashion sense.

Brooklyn has already started to make waves on magazine covers and was dating actress Chloë Mortez. Young Harper has clearly buddied up with fashion icon Anna Wintour, so there's no telling what's in her future. Cruz and Romeo are sure to debut their own talents and dreams soon. 

David recently discussed Brooklyn growing up in an interview with Australian TV show The Project.

"I think it's easier for me than his mum, you know? To see her little boy go out and date," Beckham said. "Obviously for mums I think it's slightly more difficult with the boys but obviously once Harper starts, then I don't even want to think about that at the moment."

These young royals are ones to watch. Prince George will most likely be taking the royal reigns, while Princess Charlotte is set up to be the new Prince Harry.

Hopefully she'll bring as much drama and entertainment as her uncle did in his prime or become a fashion icon like her mother.

The prince and princess are among several royal babies who will grow up in the royal limelight.
