Ever been to Vienna? Yeah, me neither. It looks pretty great, but flights are expensive and we're intimidated by its long history of classical music composers (and their hairdos, if we're being honest).

Thankfully, an enterprising group of "Minecraft" fans are re-creating the city of Vienna. Even better, they're creating the replica at scale, 1:1, as if you were actually there.

The more than 80 million people born into the millennial generation have grown up with technology by their side.

It should come as no surprise, then, that this generation — now the largest share of the US workforce— is turning to technology to manage their money, a generational shift that poses problems for the traditional bank model.

Millennials largely reject the banking experience their parents and grandparents embraced. They've abandoned the relationship-based, retail branch experience in favor of online banking. They largely distrust traditional banks, opening the door for a rash of disruptive fintech startups. Nearly 75% say they'd be more excited by a financial offering from Google, Apple, PayPal, or Square over their nationwide bank, according to a survey by Scratch, a subsidiary of Viacom.

Capital One's latest venture, the Capital One Café, is a new effort to market to millennials that appears aimed at bridging this disconnect — a move to win over their hard-won loyalty and lay a new foundation for relationship-based banking.

The company is opening a string of cafés in some of the nation's largest cities that function as co-working spaces open to the public. Anyone, regardless of bank affiliation, can grab a cup of coffee, sit on a couch, and, if they want, get coached through their money problems by professionals — for free.

Business Insider recently visited a café in Glendale, California, and spoke with Capital One Senior Vice President Lia Dean, who leads the café expansion team, about the bank's strategy for appealing to millennials.

Check out the tour below:

The café we visited is located at an upscale outdoor mall in Glendale, a Los Angeles suburb. The center is anchored by Bloomingdale's and Barney's New York. Luxury apartments sit atop the café, where rents run between $3,900 and $5,000 a month.

The Glendale location — which opened about a month ago — is one of four Capital One Cafés in California. By way of a 54-foot trailer truck decked out with digital banking technology, bank staffers are traveling to a series of grand openings in San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, Philadelphia, Miami, Austin, and Richmond over the next two months.

Though Capital One is using the cafés to shed its corporate image in the face of a younger generation, it's hanging on to a few traditional conveniences. Two ATM machines available for public use are situated near the main entrance. There's another set at the back of the café with more privacy.

What's the best way to burn the most calories?

There's a lot that goes into developing an exercise regimen — meeting your body's needs, finding something you enjoy, and figuring out what will have enough impact to make a difference to your health.

If you're crunched for time, one of the ways to measure that is to figure out how much energy a particular exercise expends in the time you actually do it. In other words, how many calories does it burn?

The big, important caveats here are that exercising on its own actually doesn't do much to make you lose weight. If you want to slim down, we suggest talking to a doctor about what a healthy weight is for you and working on cutting sugar and large portions out of your diet.

Still, calories burned per hour is a good measure of how intense a particular exercise is. The Mayo Clinic, drawing on research published by the National Institutes of Health, lists 36 popular forms of exercise by their caloric impacts, which we've ranked in another article. Here, we've listed the top ten, with approximate calories burned per hour for a 200-pound person listed for each activity. (An average adult American weighs just under 200 pounds.) Of course exact figures will vary across body types, gender, age, and other factors.

Keep in mind that the numbers here are approximate. Also, just because an exercise burns calories faster doesn't mean it's necessarily the best option. The most important exercise is the one you enjoy enough to get up and do regularly.

Donald Trump's election and recent wave of executive orders have inspired protests nationwide.

The day after the president's inauguration, the Women's March on Washington swelled to a half million people. Rallies related to immigration, LGBT rights, and other issues have continued to pop up in cities around the country, with more planned in the coming months. On April 22, hundreds of thousands are expected to join the Scientists' March on Washington, while more are expected to protest at the People's Climate March a week later. 

Activists are also participating in other forms of political action. Over 13,000 women are planning to run for office in 2018, New York magazine recently reported. Donors have given millions of dollars to nonprofits like the ACLU and Planned Parenthood, and consumers are boycotting retailers that do business with Trump's family.

The recent wave of action is only the latest in a long history of American activism. Here are 17 photos that chronicle some of that legacy.

In 1917, ten suffragists, who called themselves the “silent sentinels,” were arrested when they picketed outside the White House. The women's suffrage movement is considered one of the first modern activist movements.

The labor movement, which was also grew in the 19th century, fought for safe working conditions and increased pay and benefits for laborers.

The civil rights movement, which began in 1954, aimed to end racial inequality, segregation, and discrimination.

At the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, which drew approximately 250,000 people, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

More than 40 new shows are premiering this winter and spring.

Most people don't have the time to watch everything that's coming out, no matter how good the TV show.

The problem now is that we have to become really selective. Some of the stuff that made it to our TV screens a year or two ago just doesn't hold up any longer compared with the competition.

Cable, the streaming companies, and even broadcast are taking viewers to bold new places — from HBO's "The Young Pope" to FX's "Legion" and Netflix's "A Series of Unfortunate Events."

But where should you start?

Metacritic keeps track of a curated group of critics, assigns each review a number according to how positive or negative it was, and then creates a weighted average score for each show.

Here are the 20 most critically acclaimed new TV shows of winter and spring 2017 so far, according to Metacritic:

If you wait until you're 23 to commit, you're less likely to get divorced.

A 2014 University of North Carolina at Greensboro study found that American women who cohabitate or get married at age 18 have a 60% divorce rate, but women who wait until 23 to make either of those commitments have a divorce rate around 30%.

"The longer couples waited to make that first serious commitment [cohabitation or marriage], the better their chances for marital success,"The Atlantic reported.

The 'in love' phase lasts about a year.

The honeymoon phase doesn't go on forever.

According to a 2005 study by the University of Pavia in Italy, it lasts about a year. After that, levels of a chemical called "nerve growth factor," which is associated with intense romantic feelings, start to fall.

Helen Fisher, a psychologist and relationship expert, told Business Insider that it's unclear when exactly the "in love" feeling starts to fade, but it does so "for good evolutionary reasons," she said, because "it's very metabolically expensive to spend an awful lot of time just focusing on just one person in that high-anxiety state."

Two people can be compatible — or incompatible — on multiple levels.

Back in the 1950s and '60s, Canadian psychologist Eric Berne introduced a three-tiered model for understanding a person's identity. He found that each of us have three "ego states" operating at once:

• The parent: What you've been taught

• The child: What you have felt

• The adult: What you have learned

When you're in a relationship, you relate on each of those levels:

• The parent: Do you have similar values and beliefs about the world?

• The child: Do you have fun together? Can you be spontaneous? Do you think your partner's hot? Do you like to travel together?

• The adult: Does each person think the other is bright? Are you good at solving problems together?

While having symmetry across all three is ideal, people often get together to "balance each other." For instance, one may be nurturing and the other playful.

The average American wedding costs $35,329 — the highest it's ever been. 

That's according to new data from wedding planning site The Knot, which conducted its tenth annual Real Weddings Study to uncover how much brides and grooms across the country are paying to get hitched.

For the study, The Knot surveyed over 13,000 men and women who said "I do" in 2016 to determine the average cost of weddings in America, including everything from the price of the dress to the venue to the cake.

Oklahoma City's warm weather and low housing prices make it an up-and-coming place to live. Due to a recent inundation of millennials, the city now brims with energy, creativity, and new ideas, according to a local expert.

"The community's greatest asset is its people," he said. "The community is tight-knit, willing to offer a friendly hello, and ever aware that their city is really a small town at heart."

24. Tampa, Florida

Population: 2,888,458

Median home price: $170,495

Quality of life: 6.6

Tampa's laid-back atmosphere, warm weather, and barrage of entertainment options make it feel like a trip to paradise. "Living in the Tampa Bay is like being on vacation all year," said a local expert.

Tampa hasn't been overtaken by tourists, however. It retains several niche communities, including a strong Cuban influence in historic Ybor City, formerly known as the "cigar capital of the world."

23. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Population: 558,198

Median home price: $83,500

Quality of life: 7.1

Value: 7.5

Located on the banks of the Susquehanna River and the foothills of the Appalachian Trail, Harrisburg offers residents unlimited access to the outdoors. Many are employed by the state and federal government in Harrisburg, but there's also several large private-sector companies that are top employers, including Hershey's, Rite Aid, and D&H Distributing.

Relationships come in all sizes and colors — there are romantic relationships, work relationships, and friendships, just to name a few. 

Regardless of what kind of relationship you want to strengthen, each is fundamentally similar to the next in a number of ways.

In all healthy relationships, we are able to listen well, empathize, connect, resolve conflict, and respect others.

The following TED Talks are a great refresher course in doing all that.

Mandy Len Catron's 'Falling in love is the easy part'

Can you make people fall in love? Twenty years ago, psychologists believed they may have done just that. In their experiment, psychologists had study participants — one heterosexual man and one heterosexual woman — sit face to face and answer 36 increasingly personal questions and then stare silently into each other's eyes for four minutes. Six months later, two of the study participants were married.

"Hoping there was a way to love smarter," writer Mandy Len Catron explored this question in her popular New York Times article, "To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This," where she chronicles her own experience simulating the experiment and that she did, in fact, fall in love with her partner.

In her TED Talk, Catron explains that the questions, while they may not be entirely responsible for her falling in love, do provide an efficient way for getting to know someone quickly, generating trust, and creating intimacy.

But, more importantly, she says that falling in love is far from the whole story when it comes to loving someone and explains what comes next.

Andrew Solomon's 'Love, no matter what'

Through interviewing parents of exceptional children for several years, the author of "Far From the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity" says he has come to understand that everyone is different in some fundamental way, and this core human condition of being different is, ironically, what unites us all.

Solomon explains that all people who love each other struggle to accept each other and grapple with the question, "What's the line between unconditional love and unconditional acceptance?"

Using a number of poignant anecdotes, he helps unpack this question.

Yann Dall'Aglio's 'Love — you're doing it wrong'

Dall'Aglio, a French philosopher and author of "A Rolex at 50: Do you have the right to miss your life?" and "I love you: Is love a has been?," says love is the desire of being desired. But in a world that often favors the self over others, how can people find the tenderness and connection they crave?

It may be easier than you think: "For a couple who is no longer sustained, supportedby the constraints of tradition, I believe that self-mockeryis one of the best means for the relationship to endure," he says.

In this surprisingly convincing talk, Dall'Aglio explains how acknowledging our uselessness could be the key to sustaining healthy relationships.

When Stanford grads Vladimir Tenev and Baiju Bhatt set out to launch the trading app Robinhood, they were aiming to provide a platform that was more accessible for beginner investors than traditional brokerage firms.

Robinhood doesn't charge a brokerage fee when a user buys or sells a stock. And it doesn't require a minimum deposit to open an account.

The company's low-cost, easy-to-use platform — users can start trading within minutes of opening an account — has cemented its popularity among millennials. The company has more than a million users, who combined have transacted over $25 billion on the platform, according to the firm.

We asked Robinhood to identify the 10 most popular stocks by percentage of ownership among its users. As you will see, some of those stocks have performed better than others:

Two venerable names in the auto industry: Volvo and Buick.

Two names that have endured hard times. Volvo was bought by Ford before the financial crisis, after establishing itself in the US as no-nonsense purveyor of stolid, self-consciously unstylish (some would say boxy) yet very safe family sedans and station wagons. But Ford shed the brand, and it was up to Chinese carmaker Geely to sweep in and save the Swedish day.

Buick was the original General Motors brand and has been around for over a century. But it, too, went through a rough patch during the financial crisis and was nearly killed off by GM, joining Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Saturn. Buick was deemed too important for GM's China ambitions — in the Middle Kingdom, Buick is considered a luxury brand, not a mid-luxury marque as it is in the US, one notch below Cadillac in the GM hierarchy.

Buick survived and has thrived, riding a wave of surging crossover SUV sales.

Volvo is also back, with an impressive lineup of vehicles, including Business Insider's Car of the Year for 2015, the XC90 SUV. 

Last year, we tested out Volvo's new mid-size sedan, the S90 (we had earlier enjoyed the S60), and we also got a crack at the latest version of the Buick LaCrosse, also a mid-size four-door.

Here's the thing: on paper, the S90 is a luxury sedan that should run with Audi, Mercedes, and BMW, while the LaCrosse is a mid-market car that shouldn't. But also on paper, the two vehicles match up closely with each other, although the S90 takes advantage of luxury pricing.

So we decided to compare the two, with the idea that Volvo has always been the Buick of luxury brands, while Buick has always been a level below the Big Boys, even if it offered a near-luxury experience.

How did it go? Read on:

SEE ALSO: The 2017 Buick LaCrosse is one of the best sedans you can buy for under $50,000

Up first, the 2017 Buick LaCrosse. As tested, at just over $48,000 in Premium trim, it tipped the sticker scales at over $16,000 less than the S90. But it didn't have all-wheel-drive.

LaCrosse has been in the Buick lineup for about decade, and it's now the brand's flagship sedan. The 2017 model is a bigger vehicle than LaCrosses' past, providing what a lot of Buick owners crave: plenty of legroom and comfort.

The exterior design is stately, with just enough gentle curves thrown in to keep it from being cookie-cutter or uninspiring. The trio of chrome ventiports on each fender is a classic Buick touch, and the car looked just great in the "Quicksilver Metallic" paint job we sampled. In a nice change, Buick has gotten rid of the abstract, all-chrome Tri-Shield badge on the grille and brought back a version of its old-school, red-silver-and-blue cloisonne-style emblem. (Sadly, the old badge still lives at the center of the steering wheel.)

An all-wheel-drive version is available. The engine is a 3.6-liter V6 making a respectable 305 horsepower, absent any turbocharging or supercharging. Fuel-economy is 25 mpg combined city/highway, which is pretty good for a car this size.

The bottom line is that there isn't much to go wrong with the LaCrosse — only a new eight-speed automatic transmission could be an issue, and during the week I drove the car, it wasn't. Multi-speed autos have been cited by Consumer Reports as a source of reliability problems for cars and trucks, but Buick ranked high on the publication's lastest reliability survey. I didn't care for the shifter, a confusing departure from the traditional PNRD, but that's a minor complaint.

You might say that the total LaCrosse package sounds pretty boring, but it's the opposite: it's exciting to experience a car that is reassuringly unlikely to let you down, all while delivering a level of comfort, technology, and refinement that's about as close to a proper luxury vehicle as you can get for under $50,000.

How about the interior?

The near-luxury "content" that your fifty thousand bones buy you isn't on the same stratum of plushess that a lot of BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus owners will be accustomed to. The luxury is low-key, un-blingy, but most of the boxes are checked off.

There are eight-way power seats, heated and cooled, and with a massage function for the driver and a lumbar support.

The leather upholstery ("Ebony" in our tester) strikes a nice balance between firm and cushy. The steering wheel is heated, a feature I think is now expected rather than desired among well-heeled buyers. The familiar blue-green Buick lighting gives the straightforward instrument panel a nice dose of throwback Buick-ness. The heads-up display is futuristic and useful. And the back seat is commodious, with ample space for adults. 

And the overall fit and finish is excellent — superior in many ways to a BMW 3-Series that I recently checked out (in fairness, the 3-Series isn't in the same segment). This is exactly what you'd expect from a Buick, plus a little more, but not so much that you're starting to feel that the brand overdid it.

The overwhelming impression is tasteful, and an improvement on the mechanically similar and also superb Chevy Impala. Fire up the 11-speaker Bose audio system, find a nice stretch of open highway to cruise on, point the LaCrosse down the asphalt, and you'll be in 21st-century American-car heaven. 

And what about the technology — not to mention the driving experience?

The technology package is impeccable. In my book, GM currently has the best overall infotainment offering in the auto industry (called "IntelliLink" in Buicks), combining an intuitive touchscreen interface with 4G LTE wifi connectivity, seamless Bluetooth integration, and OnStar, which among other things forever eliminates the requirement to fiddle with the GPS navigation system or wrestle with a voice commands. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto availability tops everything off.

Driving a Buick sedan is nothing like driving a BMW, Audi, or Mercedes four-door, or even an Acura or Infiniti saloon, but that's the way it should be. For over a decade, Buick has been steadily tightening up the suspension with making its cars too taut, so in sportier driving modes you can get a dose of peppier performance. Our test car features paddle-shifters to allow to semi-manual piloting, but in practice, I didn't use them much. There's no slosh in the LaCrosse, and the big sedan can handle corners capably, even though you aren't going to want to push your luck in any way.

Not that you would be induced to. With advanced "QuietTuning" soundproofing, the LaCrosse cabin is a peaceful place to spend time, even as the car propels itself to 60 mph from a standing start in about six seconds (another complaint: a engine auto-stop-start feature helps with fuel economy, but unlike on many other vehicles with the tech, you can't turn it off with the LaCrosse). At cruising velocities, the LaCrosse is brilliantly placid without without ever feeling like a large rolling couch. A set of advanced cruise-control and driver-assist features makes extended freeway journeys a joy.

Rapper Desiigner skipped out on a shirt but rocked a burgundy velvet jacket.

Chance the Rapper is the most talented rapper of his generation and a pioneer in the music industry. His latest album, "Coloring Book," won him a 2017 Grammy for best new artist.

He also won his first Grammy earlier Sunday for best rap performance, for his song "No Problem," featuring Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz.

This year, the Grammys made streaming-only albums available for awards consideration for the first time, which allowed "Coloring Book" to be nominated. Because of the new rule, Chance, whose real name is Chancellor Bennett, made history as the first artist to win a Grammy based on a streaming-only album. 

"Coloring Book" is so popular that it's the first streaming-only album to chart on Billboard's ranking.

Miraculously, Chance has done all of this without a label supporting him. He's turned down record deals from numerous labels, and depends on word-of-mouth and his SoundCloud account for distribution.

Chance the Rapper calls his albums "mixtapes." He recorded his first one in his senior year of high school.

He formally kicked off his career with the song "Windows." It got him some attention in Chicago's hip hop scene, and Chance spent another eight months tinkering with the rest of the album.

His first album — "10 Day"— gave Chance a cult following.

The album was released in 2012 and received over 400,000 downloads on the music-sharing site DatPiff and got Chance a cult following.

It's called "10 Day" because he wrote it during a 10-day suspension from high school.

A few months later, Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) featured him on his song "They Don't Like Me."

The 59th Annual Grammy Awards had a Beyoncé-packed first half. The music queen performed two songs from her hit record/visual album "Lemonade," and then she won an award for best urban contemporary album (and delivered a stirring speech about the need for better diverse representation).
