The 2016 SkyPixel Photo Contest has recognized the most beautiful and breathtaking aerial images taken by drone from around the world.

Along with Chinese technology company DJI, aerial photography community SkyPixel held a two-month long global competition, receiving over 27,000 entries from 131 countries around the world. 

A judging panel, made up of photojournalists from TIME and Condé Nast Traveler as well as prize-winning photographers, selected the winning photo as well as first, second, and third place winners in three different categories — "beauty,""360," and "drones in use."

It also awarded prizes for the most popular photos, judged by the most "likes" they received on SkyPixel. 

Photo of the Year was awarded to "Fishermen close to the net," taken by Ge Zheng in Fujian Province in China. "Reflections, colors, and the unique aerial perspective create a startling composition from netting, poles, and water," according to SkyPixel.

Some of the smallest countries in the world continue to dominate the list of the world's richest countries, an analysis by Global Finance Magazine shows.

The ranking was published in February 2017 and based on data from the International Monetary Fund.

The magazine ranked the world's countries according to their gross domestic product (GDP) based on purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita.

The PPP takes into account the relative cost of living and the inflation rates of the countries to compare living standards among the different nations.

The small countries that dominate the top ten all have small populations compared to countries that lead the world purely in terms of GDP — such as the United States, China, or Germany.

Most of these small nations heavily depend on immigrant workers who often do not reside in the country they are working in or are not granted resident status, and are therefore not counted in the GDP per capita calculations.

15 of the 30 richest countries in the world are in Europe, while big some big economies such as the US, Japan, and Canada also made the cut.

The GDP per capita listed represents the amount of wealth produced in 2016 and is expressed in international dollars.

Here are the top 30 (and here's the full study):

30. Japan — GDP per capita: $38,893 (£31,732)

29. Finland — GDP per capita: $41,812 (£34,114)

28. France — GDP per capita: $42,384 (£34,581)

LONDON — This week's montage is largely anatomical as it includes David Haye's ankle, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's elbow, Laura Muir's lungs, Ellen White's foot, Alistair Overeem's knee, and Andy Murray's forearm.

The weekend's sporting action did not disappoint as Matchroom Boxing produced a main event on Saturday night that had everything: a trash-talk build-up, 11 ferocious rounds, and eventually a remarkable victory for underdog Tony Bellew over big-name in David Haye.

These nine pictures capture the most memorable from the weekend's sporting action.

Tony Bellew punches David Haye through the 02 Arena ring in London.

David Haye talked a good fight in the build-up to his heavyweight battle with Tony Bellew but was ultimately let down by his ageing body. Haye suffered a suspected Achilles injury in the sixth round and was barely able to stand let alone box, thus allowing Bellew to take over and score an unexpected stoppage victory in the 11th round.

Britain's number one tennis star Andy Murray wins his first title of the year.

Andy Murray won his first title of 2017 when he saw off Fernando Verdasco's challenge in the Dubai Championship final. Murray beat the Spaniard in just one hour and 14 minutes and extends his lead over Novak Djokovic in the world tennis rankings. The Dubai triumph was the 45th title win in Murray's illustrious career to date.

Kurtley Beale inspires Wasps to dominant win over Bath Rugby.

Kurtley Beale scored two tries for Wasps as the Premiership hopefuls stormed to the top of the table after a dominant win over Bath Rugby. Despite the victory and their promising position, director of rugby Dai Young has warned against complacency by insisting Wasps focus on cementing their place in the top two: "It's not a foregone conclusion by any means.

Waking up at the crack of dawn is not something I do often.

But on a recent morning, I decided to toss tradition to the wind and awaken at the ripe hour of 5 a.m. — so I could head to a rave.

Yes, a rave.

The 3-hour morning party, known as Daybreaker, is part of what its creators call a "movement" in 16 cities including San Francisco, Seattle, Paris, and Tokyo. 

The sunrise soirée involves no alcohol or drugs. And did I mention it starts with an hour-long yoga class?

"Our goal was to create a safe space where people could sweat and express themselves — really let their hair down and let go," Daybreaker's co-founder, 38-year-old Radha Agrawal, told Business Insider. "We said let’s replace all the negative, dark stuff about nightclubs with light, positive stuff."

Here's what it was like.

When I moved to London, a friend told me about a morning rave called Daybreaker, which she described as a night of clubbing minus the booze and set in the morning. In February, I signed up for "Love is in the air," Daybreaker's next shindig.

Daybreaker parties usually begin at 6 a.m. with an hour of yoga followed by 2 hours of dancing. You have a choice of 2 types of tickets: One that includes the yoga or one that's just for the dancing. To do both, the ticket cost me £28 (about $30). The venue was a nightclub called OMEARA, located in London's Southwark neighborhood.

When my alarm went off on Tuesday morning at 5 a.m., my initial reaction was to shut it off and crawl back under the blankets. For a few minutes, I desperately regretted my ambitious plans. But as a morning person — something that's largely genetic — I was able to pull myself out of bed. (It wasn't as easy for my night-owl partner, Chris, who'd volunteered to come with me.)

"Some ideas just can't wait," reads the website for the Thiel Fellowship.

In 2011, investor, entrepreneur, and Trump adviser Peter Thiel launched a program that awards $100,000 to promising young entrepreneurs who are willing to drop out of college and turn their bright ideas into real businesses. Dozens of tech prodigies have passed through the program, with mixed results. While plenty of Thiel fellows return to school after their two-year deployment in Silicon Valley, a handful go on to create venture-backed startups worth millions.

We tracked down some of the most successful Thiel fellows to see what they're up to.

Ari Weinstein and Conrad Kramer's app was recognized by Apple for its brilliance.

The Thiel Fellowship brought together whiz-kids Ari Weinstein, an MIT dropout; and Conrad Kramer, a then-high school student, to work on two productivity apps. One took off.

Workflow stitches together tasks from multiple apps into one. Users can post an image to Facebook, get directions, order food, and do countless other things without leaving the app.

Workflow became the most purchased iPhone app for four days after it launched in 2014. In 2015, Apple awarded Weinstein and Kramer an award for the most innovation app of the year.

They continue to develop Workflow out of San Francisco. Their startup employs eight people.

Eden Full Goh has been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 in Energy three years in a row.

At 19, Eden Full Goh left Princeton to turn her high school science project into a global company. That project, the SunSaluter, is a low-cost mechanism that allows solar panels to rotate and follow the sun throughout the day, boosting the panels' efficiency by 30%.

The SunSaluter can be found in 18 countries, providing electricity to over 10,000 people.

Today, Goh serves as chairperson of the nonprofit and works at Thiel's software company, Palantir, where she spearheads the development of experimental client-facing products.

James Proud raised $40 million at a $250 million valuation for his startup, Hello.

He's been called "Peter Thiel's chosen one" by Forbes magazine. The 25-year-old CEO of Hello, a startup that makes a $149 sleep-tracking device for the bedroom, is one of the most successful Thiel fellows yet.

Proud passed on the chance to be the first in his family to go to college when he accepted a spot in the Thiel Fellowship. He joined to work on GigLocator, a website that aggregated concert-ticket information, and later sold it to a concert promoter in 2012 to the tune of six figures.

Hello's sleep-tracker, called Sense, raised $2.4 million on Kickstarter in 2014, which is on par with what the Oculus Rift raised on the crowdfunding site. A source close to the company told Forbes that Hello expects to sell 250,000 units in 2017.

Proud is now raising more funding, including $2 million from Thiel himself.

Donald Trump's first six weeks in office have done little to quiet calls for a boycott of the companies that do business with the president's family.

If anything, boycotts are gaining steam — and they appear to be having an impact. 

In February, brands such as Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Belk dropped Ivanka Trump's fashion line. 

While Nordstrom and others have said the decision was purely financial, all of the companies that have dropped the first daughter's brand had been targets of the #GrabYourWallet movement. Shannon Coulter, a brand and digital strategist, started the hashtag in October to encourage people who were offended by Donald Trump's language and actions to boycott companies doing business with his family.

As of Monday, 53 companies are still on Grab Your Wallet's boycott list. But the movement has narrowed its focus on 10 companies. Here are the anti-Trump movement's top targets.

Macy's

While the chain banned Donald Trump's menswear line last year after the president-elect referred to Mexican immigrants as "rapists," it still sells Ivanka Trump's lines of clothing, jewelry, and handbags.

L.L. Bean

Unlike other companies on the list, L.L. Bean does not sell Trump products. Instead, it has been targeted because Linda Bean, a member of the company's board and the granddaughter of the company's founder, Leon Leonwood Bean, donated $60,000 to a Trump-supporting PAC called Making America Great Again LLC. 

Grab Your Wallet is calling for a boycott until Linda Bean is removed from the company board.

The network of roads and bridges that connect American suburbs to metropolitan areas are in dire need of repairs.

Increased congestion and a lack of adequate maintenance are causing these structures to break down faster in urban areas than in rural ones and it's expected that the situation will only get worse if funding for improvements isn't increased. 

In fact, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gave the US a D grade for its roads and a C grade for its bridges in its latest report on the state of American infrastructure. What's more, the US Department of Transportation estimates it could cost as much as $1 trillion just to bring the current Interstate and highways system in the US up to date. 

But it's not just the roads that are falling apart. The railways, dams, and levees are also aging and need a major facelift. 

This kind of failing infrastructure threatens not only people's safety, but also the American economy. 

For example, poor roads and bridges mean longer travel times, which translates to higher costs for businesses to produce and distribute their goods. That higher cost is then passed down to the masses. 

Here’s a closer look at how dire the state of our infrastructure has become and how it's impacting Americans. 

SEE ALSO: The American suburbs as we know them are dying

Since 2007, the US has been consistently lagging behind other nations when it comes to infrastructure development.

Out of 138 economies worldwide, the US ranks 11th when it comes to infrastructure competitiveness, according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Index.

Roads in the US are particularly bad. About one-third of US roads are in poor condition.

There are about 4.2 million miles of public roadway in the US, according to the Federal Highway Administration. And in 2016 alone, there were 3.2 trillion miles driven on these roadways. All of this traffic is wearing on our roads. 

In fact, 32% or one-third of major urban roads in the US are in poor condition and in need of improvement, according to a November report by Trip, a national transportation research group. 

And of the more than 612,000 bridges in the US, more than 56,000 of them are structurally deficient.

A structurally deficient bridge means that the bridge has at least one structural issue that needs to be addressed. According to the latest data from the Federal Highway Administration,about 1,900 of those 56,000 deficient bridges are on the Interstate Highway system.

Part of the problem stems simply from the fact that these structures are just old. 

In fact, about 41% of US bridges are more than 40 years old and have not had significant construction work for improvement, according to a February report by The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA). 

Zaha Hadid, one of the most visionary architects of our time, died at age 65 in March 2016.

Over the span of her career, the controversial and uncompromising architect created award-winning museums, condos, stadiums, and pavilions. In her last years, she took on a new challenge: designing a luxury condo complex over the High Line, Manhattan's famed elevated park.

The new condo building will be impressive, with an intricate metal and glass facade sculpted piece by piece. Inside, the high-rise will boast a parking garage with an automatic vallet system and the city's first private 3D IMAX theater.

Developer Related Companies broke ground in 2014. Samantha Zola, a spokesperson for the building, tells Business Insider that the building will open in June 2017. Approximately 50% of the units are in contract, according to StreetEasy.

Since it was Hadid's first and only NYC building and one of her last designs, it will remain a testament to her legacy.

In 2016, Business Insider toured one of the model units. Take a look inside.

Hadid's 135-foot-tall building lives at 520 West 28th Street on Manhattan's far west side. It's two blocks away from Hudson Yards, the new $20 billion neighborhood set to open in 2024.

Hadid was known for her curved buildings, many of which featured geometric forms.

520 West 28th Street is no exception.

Cities are getting more congested.

In the US, the average commuter spends 42 hours stuck in traffic every year, according to a report by the Texas Transportation Institute.

But US cities aren't even close to the most congested. Navigation company TomTom unsurprisingly ranked Los Angeles the most congested city in the US, which ranks 12th worldwide.

But more cities are starting to support biking to decrease congestion and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Copenhagen now has more bikes than cars for the first time since 1970, which was the year authorities began collecting data on the two modes of transportation, according to the World Economic Forum. In the last year, 265,700 bikes made their way into the city compared to 252,600 cars.

Copenhagenize Design Company, an urban design consultancy company based in Copenhagen and Brussels, puts together a bi-annual index listing the most bike-friendly cities in the world. Copenhagenize evaluated 122 cities with a regional population topping 600,000 people. Scroll down for its 2015 ranking:

5. Eindhoven, Netherlands

The city of Eindhoven has gone to great lengths to become more biking friendly. In 2012, Eindhoven completed a floating roundabout just for cyclists called the Hovenring, pictured above. The Hovenring is used by thousands of cyclists a week, according to a 2013 Gizmodo article.

4. Strasbourg, France

The city of Strasbourg has over 300 miles of biking routes, according to the Copenhagenize Index. Strasbourg also has a bike-share system called Vélhop that allows for long-term rentals.

3. Utrecht, Netherlands

Utrecht placed third in the 2013 Copenhagenize Index as well. The city is building the world's largest underground bike park — a $48 million project set to be completed in 2018, according to Dutch News. When completed, the facility will fit 12,500 bikes.

Tower Bridge is arguably one of the capital's most impressive and well-known landmarks.

However, a replica of the bridge exists in China — and it's twice the size.

The structure, which spans a river in the city of Suzhou, is 131 feet tall, and has four turrets instead of two, cost the country £9.4 million to build, according to The Sun.

This isn't the only iconic structure the country has copied.

China is also home to fake versions of the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House, and the White House. A £160 million life-sized copy of the Titanic is also reported to be in the works. 

So how do these knock-offs measure up?

Melia Robinson contributed to an earlier version of this story.

A double-sized replica of London's Tower Bridge exists over Yuanhe Pond in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. It was built in 2012, but only attracted global attention when new photos were released last month.

While it does not have a rising bridge, it has a dual carriageway, allowing for more cars in the heavily populated country.

This is hardly the only landmark replica that exists in the country. A model of Athens' Parthenon has also been built at a theme park in Lanzhou, Gansu Province.

Charlie Munger dropped out of college, served as a meteorologist in the US Army Air Corps, and graduated from Harvard Law.

And then he met Warren Buffett, and the rest is history.

As vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Munger is Buffett's right-hand man. He has an estimated net worth of $1.51 billion.

Like Buffett, Munger is incredibly sharp in his wit and investing wisdom. You might even argue that his words are more blunt and unfiltered than Buffett's.

We compiled a list of Munger's most insightful quotes about investing, business, and life.

Invest in a business that any fool can run.

"Invest in a business any fool can run, because someday a fool will. If it won't stand a little mismanagement, it's not much of a business. We're not looking for mismanagement, even if we can withstand it."

There's only one way to the top: hard work.

"Obviously if you want to get good at something which is competitive, you have to think about it and practice a lot. You have to keep learning because [the] world keeps changing and competitors keep learning. You have to go to bed wiser than you got up. As you try to master what you are trying to do — people who do that almost never fail utterly. Very few have ever failed with that approach. You may rise slowly, but you are sure to rise."

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "The Walking Dead."

Sunday's "The Walking Dead" was a bit of a filler episode, but that was okay because it gave fans some much needed time with Rick and Michonne. The two leaders of the Alexandria group recently admitted their feelings for one another, and while Sunday's episode was a giant scavenge run for supplies and guns, it pretty much doubled as a honeymoon of sorts for the two.

What better way to celebrate your love than going to a zombie-infested carnival and taking down walkers? Amidst all of the undead action and romance, there were a few nods and references to prior episodes you may have missed.

Rick and Michonne stumble upon and raid two men who are out golfing.

They ended up taking a battery from them while they weren't looking. But, if you listened to the conversation those men were having, you'd realize they weren’t just two random survivors.

Those two men were Negan’s Saviors.

If you were paying close attention, you can hear one of the Saviors talk about Joey, the Savior Daryl recently killed upon escaping from the Sanctuary. 

"And if I hear one more goddamn word about Fat Joey, I'm gonna smash ..." he says before his dialogue fades out. 

Michonne spots a deer in the woods that she and Rick later see at an abandoned carnival.

It’s one of several deer they’ve come across on the series.

The German sprint across Poland in September 1939 introduced the Nazi Blitzkrieg to the world, which then watched as Hitler's forces swept over mainland Europe and bombarded Britain.

Farther north, in the frigid expanse now occupied by Finland and Russia, an equally significant battle raged in the unprecedentedly cold months of winter 1939-1940, as the outnumbered Fins took on Stalin's Soviet Union.

The two countries signed a nonaggression treaty in the early 1930s, but that did not allay Finnish concerns about their neighbor's ambitions.

Those fears were justified, as the Soviet Union surged across the Karelian Isthmus in November 1939, seeking to deepen its western frontier.

Stalin threw about a million troops into the dense forests and frozen expanses that connected the two countries, and able, determined Finnish troops turned the bucolic landscape into a charnel house for underprepared, underfed, and initially overwhelmed Soviet troops.

Finland is though to have lost about 25,000 soldiers during the 105-day conflict, while the Soviet Union was bled of nearly 200,000 troops, and hundreds more stricken by frostbite.

Helsinki eventually succumbed to the Soviet onslaught, however, signing a peace pact on Moscow's terms on March 12, 1940— though the country did not completely capitulate and would later allow German troops to transit its territory to engage the USSR.

As the photos below show, the Finnish troops made deft and deadly use of a vicious winter and unforgiving landscape to exact the maximum toll from the Russian invaders.

Apparently, over-the-top speculative homes are the flavor of the month in Los Angeles. Just weeks after a $250 million mansion was unveiled in Bel Air, another fully decked-out home joins it with a similarly hefty price tag.

This seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom mega mansion in Beverly Hills costs $100 million and comes with a gold Lamborghini, a Rolls-Royce, two original Damien Hirst paintings, and an Andy Warhol portrait of Muhammad Ali. 

Dubbed "Opus," the luxury home is perched above Los Angeles with a view of the city and the Pacific Ocean. It's the brainchild of ex-movie producer turned real estate developer Nile Niami, who has built homes for rapper Sean Diddy and the Winklevoss twins.

Opus is the precursor to Niami's "The One," a Bel Air development that will reportedly list for $500 million.

"It has some of the same amenities, but they're both unique properties with different vibes and a completely different demographic of buyers," Niami said to Business Insider.

This 20,500-square-foot mansion sprawls across an acre of land on elite cul-de-sac Hillcrest, where lots sell for between $32 and $50 million each. "It has always been known as the best area of Trousdale. The people who lived on that cul-de-sac never moved, so the street was never for sale," Niami said. Trousdale Estates is a community in Beverly Hills. "When the opportunity came up, I knew I had to build there."

On one side of the main living room is a retractable glass wall that opens up onto a sweeping view of Downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. On the other, a TV comes down from the wall and rotates a full 360 degrees. It allows you to watch TV and admire the view at the same time, Niami said.

The house includes a contemporary art collection with three Damien Hirst originals and an Andy Warhol portrait of Muhammad Ali.

Scottish brewer BrewDog will open the world's first crowdfunded craft beer hotel in Columbus, Ohio.

Called "The DogHouse," the $7.3 million hotel will feature a craft beer spa with beer-based treatments, beer taps in the bedrooms, a hot tub filled with Punk IPA, and a beer fridge in the shower.

Beer-infused three-course breakfasts, lunches, and dinners will also be served, paired with artisanal craft beers.

It will be funded through a crowdfunding campaign which went live on Indiegogo on Friday. The brewery has already hit its $75,000 goal, with $124,859 from 815 backers at time of writing.

Those who back the project will get free nights at the hotel, and will exclusively receive the first five releases from the sour beer brewery, which the project will also fund. Those who contribute over $30,000 will also be able to host an all-night event, such as a wedding or a birthday, at the hotel.

"Beer geeks around the world have been crying out for a beer hotel since we first floated the idea on social media, so we’re going to kick-start the most ambitious project we’ve ever planned, all with the backing of our global community of beer fans," said BrewDog co-founder and CEO, James Watt.

The DogHouse is set to open by the end of September 2018. BrewDog also wants to open a hotel in Scotland, but the plans have stalled because of a disagreement with Aberdeenshire Council over the value of a plot of land, according to Scottish broadcaster STV.

"Angel Of The Morning" by Juice Newton

Fun fact: those of you who have only seen the internet version of the "No Good Deed" short are missing out on the same experience being had by viewers who are seeing the short play before screenings of Logan.

It's actually the case that the online cut is longer, but the one in theaters has some different musical cues... including the very first one. In the internet version, Ryan Reynolds's Wade Wilson is listening to "St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion)" by John Parr while walking along the street, but on the big screen that music is subbed out for "Angel Of The Morning" by Juice Newton - the same song that plays during the opening credits of the Deadpool movie.

Why did it have to change? It's probably a rights thing. But the good news is that right now you still have the opportunity to experience both versions.

Superhero themes truly don't get more iconic than John Williams original score for Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie, and you'd think that Warner Bros. wouldn't love the idea of it being used in connection to a competing studio's franchise.

And yet the beautiful, epic track is played as Deadpool tries to leap into action and stop a mugging following a quick costume change. Of course, the whole phone booth gag is taken directly from Superman mythos, but the fact that "No Good Deed" features the authentic music is a feather in its cap. We have no idea how it came together, but that doesn't make us love it any less.

The new Nintendo Switch game, "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," is finally here, and it's incredible. But it's also tough. One pro tip is learning how to cook in the game, and learning some of the best, most powerful recipes, with all of the ingredients the game gives you.

When the monsters aren't trying to kill you — and succeeding, often! — the elements remain persistent. "Breath of the Wild" is the kind of game where you could die from exposure. 

Thankfully, there's a simple way to aid in your continued survival: cooking!

Just like the game's massive open world, there are near-endless options for cooking in "Breath of the Wild." Some meals imbue Link with bonuses he'll need to survive. Trying to reach that shrine, but the region is too cold for Link to handle? Cook up spicy peppers to grant Link with "low-level cold resistance"!

But that's just scratching the surface. There are countless dangers in Hyrule to overcome. So we're channeling our inner Julia Child: We've put together the 10 most important recipes for survival, whether you're trying to beat a tough boss or trying to survive in a lightning storm.

Before you learn any useful recipes, you need to know how to cook: Find a fire with a cooking pot over it! These are all over the place, but you can find them most readily in towns, or in moblin camps.

Of note: I found this cooking pot over a stack of wood, unlit. But don't despair if you find as much! By selecting a flint from your inventory, then choosing to "hold" it, and then dropping it under the fire, you can re-start the fire for cooking! After placing the flint, strike it with any metal weapon — from an axe to a sword and everything in between — to start a fire.

After finding the cooking pot/fire, you can cook by opening the inventory and selecting "hold" on up to five ingredients:

Then, you exit the inventory screen and select "Cook" (as seen below).
