If you didn't already know that Gary Friedman serves as CEO of Restoration Hardware, a walk into his Napa Valley home would give it away. 

The massive mansion, known as Eight Palms, was fully renovated by the Restoration Hardware design team. The result is a living, breathing RH catalog.

Clad in neutral colors with its precise lines and visual geometry, the house is no cookie-cutter renovation. And according to Curbed SF, it's now available for $2 million cheaper than before. It's back on the market with a new listing price of $8.5 million, and Ginger Martin of Sotheby's International Realty has the listing.

Brittany Kriegstein contributed reporting to a previous version of this article.

The mansion is situated on a property in St. Helena, in California's famous Napa Valley. Natural elements are showcased throughout the grounds, taking advantage of the environment.

These eight-foot black gates are complete with brass hardware, and make for a dramatic entrance to the estate.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Friedman paid $5.9 million for the house in 2013. He initially planned on turning it into a private getaway for himself, but then decided to remodel and resell it. The whole process took two years to complete, and the results — like this entry courtyard —speak for themselves.

Robinhood, the app that lets you trade stocks without paying fees, has been a runaway hit with millennials, who have driven the startup to a reported $1.3 billion valuation.

The thinking behind Robinhood was that younger people would want to trade stocks differently: namely on their phones and without the fees. But are the stocks they trade different as well?

To answer that question, we asked Dr. Sahill Poddar, a data scientist at Robinhood, to crunch the numbers. By and large, the top stocks millennials held (by dollar amount) were similar to those of people over 30. But millennials were almost twice as likely to have stock from computer chip designers AMD and Nvidia. Conversely, those over 30 were almost twice as likely to hold Yahoo.

In terms of the top 10 stocks, Twitter and gold (via JNUG) made the over-30 list, but didn't appear on the 30-and-under one, whereas Google (GOOGL) saw the reverse.

"Overall, millennials trade more often than non-millennials (2.75 times more), but the average dollar amount per trade is half," according to Poddar.

It's worth noting that Robinhood is a new platform, so you might expect the popular stocks to skew toward things like technology. But still, the differences between the millennial and over-30 crowd are instructive in understanding what different generations think of the stocks.

With that in mind, here are the top 10 stocks millennials love on Robinhood (by dollar amount):

The INSIDER Summary:

• Certain non-starchy fruits and vegetables won't cause you to gain weight no matter how much of them you eat.
• This is because they're mostly made up of water, they're low in calories, and they have fiber which helps keep you full.
• Examples include tomatoes, kale, grapefruit, celery, blueberries, broccoli, cantaloupe, cauliflower, and strawberries.

 
While there's no such thing as a zero-calorie food, there are foods you can enjoy freely without having to worry about packing on the pounds.

According to nutritionist Dr. Lisa Young, these foods generally fall into one of two categories: non-starchy fruits or vegetables.

Young says there are few reasons why you won't gain weight from eating these foods:

• They're mostly made up of water.
• They're low in calories.
• They contain fiber, which helps make you feel and stay full.

Although these fruits and vegetables aren't high in protein, they're packed with plenty of vitamins, antioxidants, and other nutrients that have numerous benefits for your health.

Keep scrolling to 14 foods you can eat without restraint.

Celery

Almost 95% of celery is water, but that doesn't mean the vegetable doesn't have significant health benefits. Celery contains potassium, folate, fiber, and 30% of your daily requirement of vitamin K. There are only six calories in a single serving. 

You're best off eating celery when it's fresh, though. The vegetable loses many of its antioxidants within five to seven days of being purchased.

Kale

Kale is light in calories — one cup of raw kale only has about 33 calories — but it contains close to three grams of protein and 2.5 grams of fiber per serving.

It's one of the relatively few foods that contains an omega-three fatty acid, a nutrient that most people rely on fish to get. Like other kinds of lettuce, kale is also high in vitamins and folate.

Blueberries

Blueberries' claim to fame is their antioxidant content. The fruit has more antioxidants than any other fruit. And for all the fiber a cup of blueberries packs — 14% of your recommended daily value — it only has around 85 calories.

In March 2012, Kristin Addis quit her job as an investment banker in Southern California.

"It was hard for me when our paid time off was only 14 days per year," she tells Business Insider.

"We'd go to the office puking our guts out because we didn't want to use our vacation time being sick. I felt back then like even if I wanted to, in that 14 days, I wasn't really allowed to take it all at once. I felt like 'What is this money worth if I don't have the opportunity to spend it on what I want?

"I thought there had to be more to life than that."

So she set out to find it.

Less than a year later, Addis bought a one-way ticket to Bangkok, planning to travel overland through Southeast Asia. Since then, the now 30-year-old has largely stayed on the move, documenting her journey through her blog, Be My Travel Muse, and sharing the expertise she's gathered in her book, "Conquering Mountains: The Guide to Solo Female Travel," produced with Nomadic Matt's Matt Kepnes.

Below, she talks about the new life she built traveling the world: what it looks like, the reality of working on the road, and how she affords it.

Addis, who had lived in Taiwan when she was 21 to study Mandarin, started her trip in Southeast Asia because she'd read a traveler could get by on $1,000 a month, a sharp drop from the $3,000-$4,000 a month price of her California life.

"I had been saving for years," Addis remembers. "It was between putting money into buying a condo or traveling." She managed to accumulate around $20,000 in cash, plus about $60,000 in retirement funds, which she says she won't touch until it's time to retire.

"I've never had debt other than school debt," Addis says. "I won't spend money I don't have, and I don't want to dip into funds meant for later. If I couldn't make being a travel influencer work, I would have gotten a job before I touched my retirement savings."

As humans, how we perceive the world is how we define our own reality. And for the vast majority of humans, perception is handled through sight. 

Your hearing, and your senses of smell, taste, and touch also play roles — no doubt — but sight is the most immediate way we experience the world around us. 

This isn't the case for dogs.

The adorable snout on your pup isn't just for petting — dogs "see" the world with their nose first. "We assume that non-human animals' perception would be kind of like ours, but simpler," dog cognition researcher Dr. Alexandra Horowitz told me in an interview earlier this year.

But that isn't the case. Instead, dogs "see" the world through smells. Here's how it works.

SEE ALSO: You probably shouldn't hug your dogs, regardless of how adorable they are

DON'T MISS: Why dogs eat poop, according to a dog cognition scientist

"It's really hard to get outside our perspective."

Because our perception of the world colors our perception of how others see the world, we assume that dogs primarily perceive the world through sight. But it's not so hard to understand — and even experience— the concept of smell as a primary input.

"You could think of it as just another perceptual modality," Horowitz told me. "You can close your eyes. You're still having an experience as a human, and it's transformed in some ways. But there's still a room. There's still a reality — a room that you can hear, you can smell, you can touch. And even though it's not one that we're that familiar with, we're still co-existing."

That's the first way to understand how dogs see the world — close your eyes, maybe cover your ears with sound-canceling headphones. Now take a sniff! As humans, our sense of smell is nowhere near as adept as that of dogs — but you can begin to understand how a dog perceives the world. Maybe you smell something delicious, or something rotting, or the sterile blow of an office air conditioner.

"We basically have a cloud of smell around us. That's interesting, because it means a dog can smell you before you're really there," Horowitz said. "If you're around the corner, your cloud of smell is coming around ahead of you."

"Ultimately, their bigger interest is smell than vision."

Which isn't to say that dogs don't literally see you — their eyes are another form of input, just not the primary one. "They might look at someone with their eyes; as you approach, they look at you," Horowitz said. "But then once they've noticed that there's something with their eyes, they use smell to tell that it's you. So they sort of reverse that very familiar use of ours."

And that's crucial to understanding how dogs see the world.

You, as a human, might smell something delicious and then use your eyes to look around to locate the source of that delicious smell. "Ah, it's pasta sauce slowly coming together on a stove!" 

For dogs, the opposite is true. Or, as Horowitz put it:

"We smell something and then when we see it we're like, 'Oh yeah, that's it. That's what it was. It was cinnamon buns.' And dogs when they see you, they're like, 'Okay, that's something to explore, I'm gonna smell it. Oh yeah that's Ben.'"

"Instead of all the things that are bouncing into my eyes when I sit in a room, I'm just perceiving that room through things— molecules of smell. That's really the transformation you have to make."

We perceive depth, as humans, through stereo vision — our two eyes triangulate on the world around us, and our brain converts that video feed into three dimensions. That same concept applies to dogs, except — once again — it's through scent rather than sight.

"Where something is in a room, or what something even is, kind of changes a bit if you imagine it as an olfactory precept instead of as only a visual precept," Horowitz said. To translate that a bit, your perception of the world fundamentally changes if it's viewed through the lens of scent.

It means not only do you perceive what's immediately around you, but also what was once around you and what's coming up. In this way, how dogs perceive the world is actually more developed than humans — their sense of smell doesn't just alert them to the present, but it also travels through time.

Electric car startup Nio just made a huge move to challenge Tesla in China, which is rapidly becoming the most important market for companies pursuing battery-powered vehicles.

Nio unveiled its electric SUV, the Nio ES8, at the Shanghai motor show on Wednesday. The startup said the vehicle will go into production by the end of this year and will be made specifically for the Chinese market. Deliveries are expected in 2018, the company said. 

China had more electric car sales than Europe and the US in both 2015 and 2016, a trend unlikely to slow as the government continues to tighten fuel emissions standards.

Tesla has been making moves to gain traction in the country; it tripled its revenue in China to $1 billion in 2016, though it still makes more money in the US. 

Chinese internet company Tencent acquired a 5% stake in Tesla in March, highlighting a vote of confidence in Tesla's position in the world's most populous country. (Tencent has also invested in Nio.)

Nio, which is based in Shanghai, is smart to introduce a large SUV at a time where demand for the vehicles is on the rise among affluent Chinese buyers. The startup has offices in Shanghai and San Jose and is led in the US by former Cisco CTO Padmasree Warrior.

Scroll down for a closer look at the Nio ES8:

The electric SUV seats seven and comes with all-wheel drive, but Nio didn't disclose any specs like horsepower, acceleration, or range. So it's difficult to tell just how well it will compete with the likes of Tesla's Model X SUV.

Nio didn't say where it will manufacture the car, but said its manufacturing and supply chain are "already in place." The vehicle will come with a swappable battery.

It features a digital instrument cluster and large infotainment console.

A sexual-harassment scandal has ended Bill O'Reilly's tenure at Fox News Channel, where he has been the host of its highest-rated show, "The O'Reilly Factor," for decades.

Earlier in April, an explosive New York Times investigation found that the host and Fox News had paid out $13 million to five women who had accused O'Reilly of unwanted sexual advances. Another Fox News contributor, Wendy Walsh, and now a clerical worker have also made allegations of sexual harassment against O'Reilly.

In the wake of the accusations and an exodus of more than 20 advertisers from O'Reilly's show, he stopped hosting the show. His official reason was a planned vacation, but reports said that he would not be returning.

On Wednesday, Fox issued a statement confirming that O'Reilly "will not be returning to the Fox News Channel."

How did O'Reilly rise to such prominence and influence? Here's a look at the conservative host and commentator's career — and what killed his show:

The counterculture of the 1960s sparked Bill O'Reilly's journalism career.

Bill O'Reilly was born in New York City and raised in Long Island. He spent his early education in Catholic schools and attended Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York. In his junior year, he studied abroad in London. O'Reilly said that when he returned from Europe, the '60s counterculture movement had become very popular in the US. And although he says he didn't participate, his observations of the times sparked his desire to become a journalist.

O'Reilly paid his dues before anchoring his own news program in 1980.

After graduating from Boston University with a master's degree in broadcast journalism, O'Reilly reported for local news stations in Dallas, Denver, Portland, and Boston. He then got his first big anchoring job at CBS's local New York affiliate in 1980. Two years later, he was promoted to the network news team as a correspondent. He was then poached by ABC News in 1986.

O'Reilly cemented his audience appeal as the host of "Inside Edition" in the early '90s.

In 1989, he left ABC News to become the host of the syndicated news entertainment show "Inside Edition." During five of his six years as its host, it was the highest-watched infotainment show on TV. After leaving the show in 1995, O'Reilly enrolled at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government for his second master's degree, this one in public administration.

Ten years after he bought the beachfront Casa Malibu Inn for $20 million, Oracle founder Larry Ellison is just about ready to unveil the first in a new group of ultra-high-end luxury retreats.

He's doing it with a trio of high-profile partners: Robert De Niro, chef Nobu Matsuhisa, and film producer Meir Teper.

Dubbed Nobu Ryokan Malibu, a new 16-room hotel now stands on the property Ellison bought a decade ago.

It's the first in what is being called the Nobu Ryokan Collection, a new group of luxury retreats in exotic destinations around the world, created by Ellison and the creative minds behind the Nobu restaurants.

The experience, which is modeled after a traditional Japanese inn, won't come cheap — according to Curbed, rooms will start around $1,100 a night, though that rate could go up to $2,000 during "preferred" times.

Let's take a look inside the hotel, which opens April 28.

That location makes for some amazing sunsets.

While this isn't the first Nobu-branded hotel, it's the first to be created in the new collection of ryokan-inspired properties.

President Donald Trump once said that he has "the best words." 

As it turns out, many of those words are misspelled.

Since Trump won the presidency in November, he and his team have published a surprising number of official communications that contain typos, spelling errors, and word misusages. 

Here are some of the most notable examples:

"Unpresidented"

President Trump's most infamous typo occurred in December, when he described the Chinese seizure of a US Navy drone as an "unpresidented act."

After the spelling miscue was widely mocked online, Trump deleted the tweet and replaced it with a correctly spelled version four hours later.

"Honered to serve"

Trump's presidency got off to a rocky start, orthographically speaking. Just a day after assuming the office, the president tweeted that he was "honered to serve you, the great American People, as your 45th President of the United States!"

After Twitter users not-so-kindly pointed out the botched spelling of "honored," Trump deleted the message and reposted it with the correct spelling.

"No challenge is to great"

Trump's official inauguration poster contained a glaring usage mistake, albeit one that plenty of English speakers commit.

"No dream is too big, no challenge is to great," the text on the poster read, superimposed over a picture of a beaming Trump.

It should have said "no challenge is too great." The fact that the first part of the sentence contains the correct too suggests this mistake may have been a simple typo. Nevertheless, the blunder was roundly criticized, and reflected poorly on Trump's inexperienced team.

In only four-and-a-half years, Tinder has become one of the most widely-used dating platforms in the world. But despite 1.6 billion swipes per day and over 20 billion total matches, the app has been unable to escape its reputation of being a sleazy platform for finding casual sex. 

This week, the matchmaking giant released the results of a recent survey it commissioned called "Modern Dating Myths."

The survey compared the app's users to traditional, offline daters. According to a report by The New York Times, the survey was administered to 7,072 Tinder users between the ages of 18 and 36, while a second survey was was administered to 2,502 offline daters between the ages of 18 and 35 by Morar Consulting.

Here's what we learned:

Online dating hasn't killed committed relationships

Tinder is out to squash the myth that online dating has led to a decline in exclusive, monogamous relationships.

According to their data, only 9% of men on Tinder report that maintaining a committed relationship is difficult, compared to 30% of offline daters. Their results also show that only 9% of Tinder users say it is difficult to commit to a relationship because of how many options there are, versus 42% of offline daters who give the same rationale. 

Tinder users are finding love more often than offline daters, but not by much

Tinder says the perception that its users aren't on the app to find love is misinformed. In fact, they report that 35% of online daters say "I love you" within the first three months of being in a relationship, with the number for offline daters being slightly lower at 30%. 

Interestingly, their surveys also discovered that men are 7% more likely, overall, to say "I love you" than women are. 

Tinder users are more likely to practice safe sex

Fully aware that there is surely a segment of its user base that views it as a hook-up app, Tinder surveyed daters on their safe sex practices, or lack thereof. 

They found that 70% of online daters report practicing safe sex most of the time or always, compared to 63% of offline daters. 

The survey also found that 67% of Tinder users always use a condom when having sex with a new partner for the first time, while the number for offline daters is 58%. 

Former NFL tight end Aaron Hernandez was found dead of an apparent suicide in his jail cell on Wednesday, authorities said. 

Hernandez was serving a life sentence for after he was convicted of the murder of semiprofessional football player Odin Lloyd, 27, whom Hernandez knew socially, in 2013.

Hernandez's life was a tragic roller coaster that began with the death of his father, saw him rise to stardom in both college and the NFL, and then fell apart when he was charged in the deaths of three people before taking his own life.

Below is a look at how Hernandez went from football star to convicted murderer.

Hernandez grew up in a tough area of Bristol, Connecticut, and his dad died when Hernandez was 16 years old.

Hernandez spoke about the death of his father while in college: "It was more like a shock. Everyone was close to my father, but I was the closest. I was with him more than my friends. When that happened, who do I talk to, who do I hang with? It was tough."

Source: USA Today

Hernandez was the No. 1 tight end recruit in the country as a sophomore and originally committed to play football at the University of Connecticut, where his father had played and where his brother D.J. was the starting quarterback at the time. However, after the death of his father his junior year, Hernandez decided to attend the University of Florida.

Earth Day, on April 22, is a day to think about the environment and do what you can to help it. A billion people get involved every year, making it the largest civic observance in the world, according to The Telegraph.

But why stop there? You can make saving the planet part of your daily lifestyle. Here are 13 small things you can do everyday to live a sustainable lifestyle and help planet Earth.

Walk or bike to work.

If you live close enough to your office, walking or biking to work will prevent you from using a gasoline-guzzling car. You're also less likely to run into traffic, and you'll burn some calories in the process.

Take public transport.

If you're too far to take a bike, see if your local public transportation network is convenient enough to use on your commute. Cities upload their public transport data to Google Maps, which makes it easy to find out how long and convenient your commute would be.

There are a litany of benefits to taking public transportation. It'll save you gas and money, and you can take the time to read on your commute instead of focusing on the road.

Use a carpool service.

If a bike or public transport aren't quite feasible, you don't have to sacrifice the comfort of a car: just use a carpool service.

Some cities, like New York, organize their own carpools. You can also use an app, like Waze Carpool, Lyft Line, or uberPOOL.

The INSIDER Summary:

• Nestpick ranked cities based on how desirable they are to millennials.
• They looked at the basics like cost of living and public transportation, but also millennial-specific factors like internet speed, food, and nightlife.
• Amsterdam took the top spot.

Millennials will go to extreme lengths to live in expensive cities instead of languishing in the suburbs.

Nestpick, an apartment hunting site, compiled the Millennials Cities Ranking based on 16 factors to determine which places are the most desirable to this much-discussed age bracket.

The ranking examined essentials like the cost of living, accessibility of public transportation, and employment opportunities. It also considered factors of particular interest to millennials such as internet speed, gender equality, the affordability of beer, and the number of Apple stores per capita.

Here are the 30 cities where millennials live.

Volvo is looking to China for the future of its electric cars.

The carmaker said Wednesday that it plans to produce its first fully electric car in China and will export it around the world.

The Swedish automaker, which is owned by the Chinese company Geely, is making a big bet on electric vehicles.

In 2015, Volvo launched its XC90, which was its first vehicle with a hybrid powertrain. And in April 2016, the company vowed that it would sell one million electrified cars by 2025.

Volvo's first fully electric car is slated to go into production in 2019. Here's everything we know about the car so far.

SEE ALSO: Volvo's first electric car is coming in 2019 with a $40,000 price tag

Volvo's first electric car will have a 100 kWh battery and be manufactured at its factory in Luqiao, China.

Mats Anderson, a senior director of electric propulsion systems, said in February that its modular car platforms will support 100 kWh battery packs, according to a report by Green Car Congress. 

When fully charged, the vehicle will have a range of 250-miles.

To help put that into perspective, Tesla's Model S 100D has a range of 335 miles per charge, according to EPA estimates. 

Volvo will likely price the car between $35,000 and $40,000, putting it in direct competition with Tesla's Model 3.

Lex Kerssemakers, CEO of Volvo Car USA, said in March that he was pushing for its first electric car to fall in the $40,000 range. 

The move makes sense considering more affordable, long-range electric cars are coming to market in a similar timeframe. 

Tesla is planning to launch its first mass-market car, the Model 3, by the end of this year, but the majority of its pre-orders are expected to arrive in 2018. And Volkswagen's first long-range, electric crossover is coming in 2020. 

Venezuela's protracted economic, political, and social crises have burst onto the streets again in recent weeks.

The recent spate of demonstrations have seen thousands of Venezuelans out protesting their government.

Prior to Wednesday, five people had been killed in clashes around the country.

Some people have been struck by gunfire from police, and at least one officer is facing charges over a death. Others were allegedly shot by government supporters.

This week, opposition leaders called demonstrators to the streets on Wednesday in what they dubbed the "mother of all marches."

"President Maduro has called his supporters to march in some of the same places that the opposition had already targeted their supporters," David Smilde, a senior fellow at the Washington Office on Latin America, said on Wednesday. "Maduro also called in a military plan, so there’s military in the streets in Caracas."

"So everything is set for their to be violence today," he said. By late Wednesday, three more people had reportedly been killed in the protests.

The photos below, many of them from Wednesday, show the intensity with which Venezuelans have taken to the streets in recent days.

This round of protests was partly inspired by the supreme court's attempt to usurp the legislature's power, which one government minister decried as a "rupture of constitutional order." The court walked that move back, but in the weeks since, opposition politicians have been barred from office, deepening public ire.

Public protest has been common over the last few months, but the opposition has struggled to gain leverage over the Maduro government, both because of government efforts to block it and because of internal divisions in the opposition coalition.

In recent days, Maduro has upped his rhetoric. On Monday, he announced plans to expand the number of civilians in armed militias from 100,000 to 500,000. "A gun for every militiaman," he said, adding that it was time for Venezuelans to decide if they were "with the homeland" or against it.

In a sunlit warehouse in San Francisco, guests mill about while nibbling on lemon curd tarts with edible flowers. Then a gong sounds, signaling that the next round of marijuana joints is being served on the patio.

In May 2015, chef and cannabis enthusiast Coreen Carroll and her partner, Ryan Bush, hosted the first ever Cannaisseur Series event. The underground pop-up restaurant invites medical marijuana patients to share intimate, gourmet meals and weed with like-minded individuals.

In 2016, Business Insider attended the aptly named High Tea, an afternoon of food (both pot-infused and unmedicated), locally sourced cannabis, and community. Here's what it was like.

Chef Coreen Carroll does not mince words when it comes to her obsession with pot. "I'm always high," she told Business Insider.

She and partner Ryan Bush came to the Bay Area from Jacksonville, Florida in 2012 with their sights set on breaking into the cannabis industry.

Shortly after their arrival, a federal raid on Oaksterdam, the country’s first trade school dedicated to the weed industry, sent ripples of fear through the community.

Queen Elizabeth II turns 91 years old on Friday, April 21. During her 65-year reign, the monarch has outlasted 14 British prime minsters, 13 US presidents — and decades of wild fashion trends. 

But the queen has never been one to leap from one clothing fad to the next. Instead, she floats above the ever-shifting world of fashion, adopting only the trends that suit her timeless, practical style. She's not a great wardrobe experimenter — but she's still a sartorial icon.

"The queen transcends fashion," Caroline de Guitaut, who's curated exhibitions of the queen's clothing, once told Vogue. "But her clothes continue to reflect it."

Here's a look at how her style has changed over the years. 

Princess Elizabeth was born in 1926. It seems her love for hats started at a very young age.

Elizabeth and her younger sister Margaret wore matching outfits in many of their childhood photos.

The young princesses kept on coordinating as they grew up.
