LONDON — It has been an ugly, bruising election campaign. Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn have exchanged bitter and often personal barbs over terrorism, leadership, and their suitability for office. The country is still at war with itself over 2016's divisive Brexit vote.

But the campaigns are finally over, and as Brits head to the polls today, it's time to reflect on the one thing that truly matters: dogs at polling stations.

Up and down the country, people are taking to Twitter to share photos of their Grade-A doggos and puppers at polling stations. These woofers are turning out to ruff and bark and wag and do their civic duty right alongside their human masters, and they are Such Good Boys.

Photos of the conscientious canines are being shared on Twitter using the hashtag #DogsAtPollingStations, and provide a welcome relief from the drudgery of modern politics. Business Insider has rounded up some of the best waggers below.

If you want your dog included in our gallery email Rob Price rprice@businessinsider.com.

First, up: This is Buddy. Buddy lives in Portsmouth. Buddy is an extremely good boy.

Next, Roky. There's no question of who this dog is supporting in Scotland.

This top-notch doggo is Pi. He and owner Sophie Barkerwood are voting in the Derbyshire Dales.

The first drive-in theater opened in Camden, New Jersey, in 1933. For less than a dollar, the whole family could enjoy a B Hollywood movie from the comfort of their own car.

At the height of their popularity in the 1950s, there were almost 5,000 drive-ins across the US. Today there are just over 300 of them, which has left a lot of drive-in graveyards around the country.

For photographer Lindsey Rickert, drive-in theaters were a staple of childhood.

"There was something so special about the experience [of the drive-in]," she recently told Business Insider. In 2014, she ventured across the country for 65 days to document as many drive-in theaters — either in working order or abandoned — that she could find.

Ahead, see 10 of the most haunting images she took of those that have been left behind.

"Drive-in theaters were a staple in my childhood," Rickert said. "Playing tag under the big screen, eating way too much popcorn, and falling asleep midway through the double feature in a pile of blankets."

Rickert noted the entertainment that drive-ins could provide for families with younger children. "At a traditional theatre, taking the kids could be a difficult task ... But the drive-in catered to bringing the whole family," she said. "Kids could play on playgrounds often found under the screen while parents enjoyed a date night without having to pay a sitter."

The death of the drive-in came as real estate prices rose in the suburbs, walk-in theaters were built, and video rentals rose in popularity. Rickert noticed the change back then too. "As I got older, the surrounding drive-in theaters started to go dark and this American icon slipped my mind," she said.

The Obamas are making the most of their vacation time. Since leaving the White House in January, they have been hitting up some of the most exotic destinations imaginable.

After spending a few days on American soil in Palm Springs, Barack and Michelle Obama jetted off on a tropical tour that started at entrepreneur Richard Branson's private Necker Island. They then headed to French Polynesia to check in to The Brando, an exclusive island resort that can only be reached by boat or by two-engined Air Tetiaroa planes.

Their latest trip has been less tropical but just as glamorous. In May, the Obamas took a six-day vacation in Tuscany, Italy, where they stayed at a luxurious villa and sampled the food of one of the world's best chefs.

Take a look at the incredible places they have visited so far.

After eight years in office, the Obamas headed off on a well-deserved break in January.

The first stop (after a very brief stint in Palm Springs) was Necker Island.

This 72-acre island — located in the British Virgin Islands — is owned by British entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson.

Forget the Hamptons, if Howie Guja, photographer and real estate agent, keeps doing what he's doing, Bellport, NY, will be the next hot vacation destination.

Guja grew up in Babylon Village in Suffolk County — only about a 30 minute drive away from Bellport. Yet he stumbled upon it almost by accident as a student at the School of Visual Arts, when his sister's friend needed a ride there.

"As soon as you turn on South Country Road, you step back in time," he said. "It's just beautiful, beautiful leafy streets, white picket fences, clapboard and shingled homes, green shutters. I said, 'I have to come back here.'"

He did come back, and has lived in Bellport with his family since 2006.

His photos of the idyllic surroundings have earned him almost 26,000 followers on Instagram, some of whom even turn into residents themselves. 

Some locals worry that Guja’s Instagram will make Bellport too popular. One couple that he showed around town after they reached out through Instagram made an offer on a house on the spot.

He has since sold 10 homes — a large number considering Bellport is only two square miles.

The village may be small, but it continues to attract big names in fashion, art, and culture. Past residents include Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, designer Isaac Mizrahi, and First Lady Jackie Kennedy. Designer Francisco Costa, actress Isabella Rossellini, and art dealer Angela Westwater currently call it home.

Despite boasting some notable locals, Guja maintains that Bellport isn't "sceney."

"There's no traffic, there's no waiting to get into restaurants — it's just a quiet, laid back place where people aren't really showing off or anything," he said. "It's not a seen-and-be-seen kind of place."

Bellport is only 90 minutes outside New York City, but it couldn’t be more different.

“It's beautiful little town with a big preservation culture,” Guja said.

There’s no shortage of gorgeous scenery. “You can just walk out on the street and take a photo of almost anything and it's just so ridiculously charming,” he said.

The United States is home to some of the most incredible natural sights and wonders in the world — from towering mountains to otherworldly rock formations — and we're grateful the National Park Service honors and preserves many of these unique sights.

The agency proudly fosters outdoor exploration for over 300 million guests each year, but if you haven't been fortunate enough to visit the powerful geysers of Yellowstone or the labyrinthine tunnels of Mammoth Caves in person, then fear not.

We've rounded up some of the most awe-inspiring and unique features of national parks across the country for your appreciation. 

Zion National Park in southwestern Utah is known for its breathtaking red sandstone canyons. The Narrows in Zion Canyon is a popular hike, featuring walls that are 1,000 feet tall and a river less than 30 feet wide.

An easily accessible park from much of the East Coast, Shenandoah National Park is a wonderland of vistas and calming waterfalls in Northern Virginia. The park is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and a portion of the Appalachian Trail runs through it.

At Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska, visitors can get up close and personal to marine mammals. If they're lucky, they'll also catch a glimpse of one of the park's 40 glaciers "calving," meaning that massive chunks of ice will break off the main glacier and crash into the bay below.

Billionaires — they're just like us. Well, kind of. 

Whether it's on a yacht, fancy car, or avant-garde collection of art, the wealthiest people in the world are willing to lay down some serious cash on the things they love. 

We've rounded up some of the best billionaire toys here.

Steve Cohen's 14-foot shark

Billionaire hedge funder Steve Cohen has an art collection that has been valued at as much as $1 billion. In 2004, he paid between $8 million and $12 million for a shark that had been suspended in formaldehyde — a piece called "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" by British artist Damien Hirst. He later paid Hirst for a replacement after the shark (which was once actually alive) began to detiorate.

Elon Musk's spy submarine

In 2013, Tesla CEO Elon Musk paid $866,000 at auction for the Lotus Esprit submarine that appeared in the 1977 James Bond flick "The Spy Who Loved Me." He has said he wants to try and make it "transform for real."

Mikhail Prokhorov's virtual ski machine

Billionaire Russian businessman Mikhail Prokhorov owns lots of cool toys (including that sports team he bought for $200 million). But he's also got some unique possessions, including a virtual ski machine. Prokhorov is a known daredevil; he once filmed himself doing stunts on a jetski and had a production company set the movie to music.

San Franciscans poured into bars at 7 AM on June 8, to drink alcoholic coffees and watch former FBI director James Comey testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Bars as far as Washington, DC, Houston, and New York City opened early to screen Comey's testimony— his first public comments since he was fired by President Trump, without warning, in May. Dozens of people turned out at Clooney's Pub, an old-school bar in San Francisco's Mission District, to commiserate while drinking "Comey-Kazi" and "Im-PEACH-mint" beverages.

Here's what it was like.

This is Clooney's Pub. It opens at 6 a.m. seven days a week.

I knew I was in the right place for the Comey watch party when I saw the menu board out front. Drink specials included the "Comey-Kazi," the KGB (a mixed drink made with Kahlua, ginger, and brandy), and the "Im-PEACH-mint (a blend of peach schnapps and mint liquor).

Jim Hutchinson has been the morning bartender at Clooney's Pub for 20 years. His regulars come in for a cup of coffee before starting their days. June 8 was very different.

“It takes a brave soul to buy one of Wright's houses,” says Chicago-based architect John Eifler.

He should know: He’s renovated 23 of them.

Frank Lloyd Wright is widely considered the greatest modern American architect. And for good reason — Wright imbued his structures with natural light and pioneered innovative, open floor plans that forever changed the way people thought about housing and architecture. Plus, Wright, who would've turned 150 years old on June 8, was a prolific designer. He worked on more than 400 buildings, and no two are exactly alike.

But nobody’s perfect. Innovation almost always comes at a cost.

Here are seven things Wright got wrong about design.

His roofs weren’t properly supported.

Wright’s most famous architectural oversight is the lack of structural support for Fallingwater, his most iconic work. Built over a waterfall, the 1939 house blends beautifully into the surrounding landscape, its cantilevered floors jutting out like the rocks in the stream below.

But in 2001, Fallingwater made news because it was literally at risk of falling into the water. Though the engineer working with Wright when it the house was built suggested there was not enough steel support to hold up the concrete, Wright overruled him. But Wright was wrong, and the home's beams eventually began to crack and give way. A massive renovation was needed to keep the structure intact and safe for visitors.

According to Eifler, this oversight is common among Wright’s buildings. “He was very interested in getting things built, and sometimes he would under-structure roofs,” he explains. "So we have put a great deal of steel in his roofs to make them not droop.”

Many buildings leaked.

Jeffrey Herr, the curator of Hollyhock House in LA, says the striking building had several flaws from the get-go.

“The roof design itself had some interesting design issues that almost guaranteed water penetration,” he explains.

Hollyhock House has undergone many renovations throughout its 90 years, the most recent of which cost $4.5 million. Herr estimates the total cost of upkeep since it was built likely totals around $20 million. But he's emphatic that the cost has been worth it.

“There is no other architect that has ever done anything like Hollyhock House. There isn't any other structure like it either in his oeuvre or in anybody else’s,” Herr says.

Concrete foundations were often too weak.

John Eifler says that when beginning a Wright restoration project, he always looks for settlement. That’s because Wright often tried to figure out ways to avoid the cost of pouring concrete into the ground to build a strong foundation.

“That drove him nuts, I think,” Eifler explains. "He was always trying to find another way to hold up the building without having to spend so much money on basements and concrete.”

When you think philosophy, you don't usually think successful business titans, but maybe you should.

Around 304 BC, a wealthy and successful merchant named Zeno was shipwrecked on a trading voyage. He lost nearly everything. Making his way to Athens, he was introduced to philosophy by Crates of Thebes, a famous Cynic, which changed his life. Within a few years, Stoic philosophy would be born. As Zeno later joked, "I made a prosperous voyage when I suffered shipwreck."

There was another famous Stoic named Seneca, a man so wealthy that when he called in some of his loans to the Roman colony in Britain, it crashed their economy and sparked off a rebellion. Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet's number two at Berkshire Hathaway, is a Seneca fan and quotes him often. The investor Nassim Taleb loves the Stoics, too, and oil and gas billionaire Thomas Kaplan funds a course on Stoicism at Brown University. 

If you are a student of the men and women who have conquered the heights of business, you will inevitably find that they have incorporated — knowingly or not — many of the life principles and standards of behavior espoused by Stoicism, a philosophy designed for solving life's problems and leading a good life.

As investor and entrepreneur Tim Ferriss has put it, Stoic philosophy is "a simple and immensely practical set of rules for better results with less effort." 

Which is why you should add their type of thinking to your repertoire. Below are seven exercises in Stoic thinking taken from my site The Daily Stoic (and the DailyStoic.com's daily email) that will help you reach the heights of success — both in business and, more importantly, in your personal life.

SEE ALSO: The philosophy of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius is supposed to help you be more resilient and at peace — here's how to master it in 7 days

1. If you want to learn and succeed, be humble.

"Throw out your conceited opinions, for it is impossible for a person to begin to learn what he thinks he already knows."— Epictetus, "Discourses," 2.17.1

Of all the Stoics, Epictetus is the closest one to a true teacher. He had a school. He hosted classes. In fact, his wisdom is passed down to us through a student who took really good lecture notes. One of the things that frustrated Epictetus about philosophy students — and has frustrated all college professors throughout history — is how students claim to want to be taught but really secretly believe they already know everything. You see this regularly in today's upcoming entrepreneurs — arrogance combined with a lack of humility until the inevitable crash.

The reality is that we're all guilty of thinking we know it all, and we'd all learn more if we could set that attitude aside. As smart or successful as we may be, there is always someone who is smarter, more successful, and wiser than we are.

The 19th century writer Ralph Waldo Emerson put it well: "Every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I learn of him." We regularly see this type of thinking in some of the most successful business leaders. They are humble and actively solicit feedback and learn from anybody they meet. Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart, put it more simply, "You can learn from everybody."

You also see it in Microsoft cofounder and philanthropist Bill Gates, a voracious reader who tries to understand the world a bit better every day, one book at a time. Perpetually exposing oneself to new knowledge and ideas is a humbling reminder of how little you know, even if you are one of the most successful business moguls in history.

2. Find the right scene.

"Above all, keep a close watch on this — that you are never so tied to your former acquaintances and friends that you are pulled down to their level. If you don't, you'll be ruined. ... You must choose whether to be loved by these friends and remain the same person, or to become a better person at the cost of those friends ... if you try to have it both ways you will neither make progress nor keep what you once had."— Epictetus, "Discourses," 4.2.1; 4–5

The late motivational speaker and author Jim Rohn's widely quoted line is: "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." Rohn advised young writers and entrepreneurs to find their "scene"— a group of peers who push them to be better.

This may remind you of your parents warning you when you were caught spending time with some bad kids: "Remember, you become like your friends." One of the philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's maxims captures it better: "Tell me with whom you consort and I will tell you who you are."

And if these examples are not enough, here is a quote from Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett, arguably the most successful investor of all time: "It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction."

Or here is one of the most tenacious and strategic CEOs today, Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos: "Life's too short to hang out with people who aren't resourceful."

Consciously consider whom you allow into your life — not like some snobby elitist but like someone who is trying to cultivate the best life possible. Ask yourself about the people you meet and spend time with: Are they making me better? Do they encourage me to push forward and do they hold me accountable? Or do they drag me down to their level?

Now, with this in mind, ask the most important question: Should I spend more or less time with these folks? Remind yourself of one of investor and author Nassim Taleb's rules in life: "Avoid losers. If you hear someone use the words 'impossible', 'never', 'too difficult' too often, drop him or her from your social network."

3. Ruthlessly protect your time.

"Were all the geniuses of history to focus on this single theme, they could never fully express their bafflement at the darkness of the human mind. No person would give up even an inch of their estate, and the slightest dispute with a neighbor can mean hell to pay; yet we easily let others encroach on our lives — worse, we often pave the way for those who will take it over. No person hands out their money to passersby, but to how many do each of us hand out our lives! We're tightfisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers."— Seneca, "On the Brevity of Life," 3.1–2

Today there are endless interruptions in our days: phone calls, emails, visitors, unexpected events.

American civil right leader Booker T. Washington observed that "the number of people who stand ready to consume one's time, to no purpose, is almost countless." It is no surprise that a lot of us can't get any work done. 

A philosopher and a business leader, on the other hand, both know that their default state should be one of reflection and inner awareness. This is why they so diligently protect their personal space and thoughts from the intrusions of the world. They know that a few minutes of contemplation are worth more than any meeting or report. They also know how little time we're actually given in life — and how quickly our stores can be depleted.

Buffett intuitively understands this: "The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything." Because when you say no, you're protecting your time and your energy to focus on the big and important items in your life.

Seneca reminds us that while we might be good at protecting our physical property, we are far too lax at enforcing our mental boundaries. Property can be regained — there is quite a bit of it out there and some of it still untouched by man. But time? Time is our most irreplaceable asset, and we cannot buy more of it. We can only strive to waste as little as possible.

Today, when other people and events try to steal time from you and your work, remind yourself of what the founder of IKEA, Ingvar Kamprad, has observed: "You can do so much in 10 minutes' time. Ten minutes, once gone, are gone for good. Divide your life into 10-minute units and sacrifice as few of them as possible in meaningless activity."

Over the last few decades, skyscrapers' heights — and thus their costs — have continued to climb.

Business Insider rounded up the most expensive towers built in the last 30 years, defining a skyscraper as a building that measures at least 500 feet tall. As you will see, not all skyscrapers feature a slender design.

I hadn’t heard of Lake before the app won an Apple Design Award, but now I’m hooked.

The annual Design Awards honor the best new apps, the ones Apple thinks are especially useful or beautiful — typically new apps that indicate a trend in design. Lake, a virtual coloring book, was among this year's 12 winners, which Apple announced at its annual developer conference this week.

Lake may be one of several apps that jumped on the adult-coloring-book trend, but it's also one of the best out there. It's well-designed, easy to use, and doesn't have any unnecessary features or annoying ads — instead, it's just you, a couple types of paint brushes, a huge color palette, and some beautiful illustrations. 

Here's how to use it. 

SEE ALSO: 12 apps that just won Apple's most prestigious design award

Lake was created by a team in Slovenia and first launched at the end of 2016. The app is available for both iPad and iPhone and is compatible with Apple pencil (but it works just fine with your finger, too).

Source: Apple

The app is free to use, and for the first 60 days, you'll get one new drawing from Lake every day for free. After that, you can pay for a weekly, monthly, or yearly subscription.

You can also scroll through illustrations made by other artists, which are free, too.

San Francisco and Palo Alto may be major tech hubs, but they're not the only places big-name tech companies call home.

Some tech companies, in fact, are located a bit off the beaten path in areas with relatively small populations.

Business Insider recently scoured the Fortune 500 list to find such companies.

To compile our list, we skipped right over any tech companies headquartered in the biggest US cities. From there, we ordered each company's location based on population size, using information from City Data.

As it turns out, there are a solid number of tech companies that aren't based in the biggest US cities. The companies on this list are all based in locations with populations under 50,000, as of 2014.

Here are seven tech companies that are based in small-town America:

Tesla CEO Elon Musk just revealed a new Easter egg for the Model S and Model X on Thursday.

After proclaiming his love for "Monty Python" on Twitter, Musk revealed that US drivers can ask their Teslas to play any skit from the comedy. Owners can simply tap the voice button on the steering wheel and say "play 'Monty Python'" to activate the feature.

But that's not the only surprising feature in Teslas. Scroll down for our list of Tesla Easter eggs and fun facts:

The Tesla CEO also turned his love of James Bond films into an Easter egg. Model S owners can hold down the "T" button to bring up the technician log-in screen, and typing in "007" will transform the car shown on the infotainment center into the submersible Lotus Esprit S1 car.

The Easter egg changes the suspension into "depth (leagues)."

Musk also created an Easter egg to pay homage to his SpaceX ambitions. Just like the James Bond Easter egg, holding down the "T" button will prompt a request for an access code. Enter "Mars," and your infotainment screen will turn into the red planet.

As someone who has always liked technology, I'm frequently an early adopter. 

I bought my first smartwatch in 2014, before getting an Apple Watch a little under a year later. 

Unlike the smartphone, which was almost instantly appealing, most people I've spoken to are on the fence about whether or not they really need a smartwatch. 

If you're in that position, these are the five ways that I've been using my Apple Watch. Things have changed as Apple continues to refine the software — honestly my first year with it was a little bumpy — but now I'm happy to use it every day.

To check my notifications

Email, Facebook, Twitter, Slack, Messages — if there's a way to stay in contact with people, I probably have it. 

Before the Apple Watch, I would take my iPhone out of my pocket each time I felt it vibrate. That was fine if the message was critically important, but annoying if it was the umpteenth text from a group chat. 

Now notifications hit my Apple Watch first, so I can quickly glance down and see if it's worth dealing with. This lets me keep my phone in my pocket, which lets me appear less rude when out with friends. At home, I can leave my phone charging in one room while cleaning or cooking in another. 

Although the Apple Watch is tethered to my wrist, it still feels more freeing than feeling tethered to my phone.

To keep track of my health

The main reason I bought an Apple Watch was because of its ability to help me track my health. 

I sit at a desk all day and have no idea how many calories I burn on a daily basis — ignorance, in this case, isn't bliss. With the Apple Watch I can glance down to see my calories burned, minutes active, and whether or not I've stood for a full minute in the past hour.

The standing metric isn't as important to me, but I do my best to burn 400 calories and be active for at least 30 minutes. This meant making subtle changes to my routine, like devoting part of my lunch break to walking around, or taking a different train on nice days to extend my walk home. 

Coupled with monitoring my caloric intake, I was able to lose 20 pounds without a dramatic change in lifestyle. The Apple Watch won't make you healthier, but it can make it easy to see the information you need to help make positive changes.

To use Siri

I can use Siri on my phone, but as I said earlier, my phone stays in my pocket or in another room more often than it used to. 

This is a part of the Apple Watch that definitely needs some work, but it is improving, and convenient when it works. There's something convenient about being able to ask a question and get the answer out of thin air. 

At home I use my Echo for the same purpose, but if I'm visiting a family or friend, my Apple Watch fills this role.

Warning: mild spoilers.

As much as I wish I could be an Amazon, it's not possible. But watching "Wonder Woman" in 4DX was the closest I could come to making that dream come true, and it was worth it.

4DX is an immersive theater experience combining a 3-D movie with physical aspects, including moving seats, wind bursts, and misting water.

I went into "Wonder Woman" having never seen a movie in 4DX and I was slightly nervous for what was about to happen.

First, the $28 ticket is a bit of a hit to the wallet. Second, I'm generally not a 3-D movie girl, because I wear glasses and get annoyed by having to put the extra glasses over my normal pair. Third, there is a brief intro to the experience before the movie plays that intensely moves the seat and sprays you with a lot of water. Had the whole movie been like that preview, I would have gotten nauseous and drenched. But thankfully, it wasn't.

Instead, it was a mild, yet thrilling, experience for the senses that made me, at least for a few moments, feel like Wonder Woman.

Here's what to expect from seeing "Wonder Woman" in 4DX:

The seats react to what's happening on screen. For example, when the Amazons are riding horses, the bottom of the seats moved up and down to imitate the motion.

The seats have a wide range of motion, which included rocking back and forth like the boat in which Diana (Gal Godot) and Steve (Chris Pine) sail to London.

They also follow the camera motions to make you feel like you are flying through the air like the Amazons.

LONDON — Are you staying up for general election results night? Do you want to know which seats you should be looking out for? If so, look no further.

Here are the 25 seats that will indicate whether Theresa May's Conservative party is on course for a landslide majority or whether she is about to suffer a humiliating upset at the hands of Jeremy Corbyn's Labour and Tim Farron's Liberal Democrats.

Scroll down to see which of the seats from the five major parties could decide this election and the times they will be announced.

Sunderland Central

• Expected declaration time: 11.30 pm
• Winner in 2015: Julie Elliott (Labour)
• Labour majority over Conservative: 11,179
• Swing required to win: 13.38%
• Conservative target seat number: 136

One of the first seats to declare will be Sunderland Central in North East England. The seat has been held by Labour since its current boundaries were formed in 2010 and should be the easiest of holds for Jeremy Corbyn's party. However, if Theresa May is on course for the sort of new Labour-style landslide that some polls at the start of the general election predicted then Sunderland Central will be our first indication. Even a close result here would spell major trouble for Labour nationally.

North Swindon

• Expected declaration time: 12.30 a.m.
• Winner in 2015: Justin Tomlinson (Conservative)
• Conservative majority over Labour: 11,786
• Swing required to win: 11.28%
• Labour target seat number: 129

If Jeremy Corbyn is heading for Downing Street then a victory in North Swindon will be the first clear indication. Narrow victory here for Labour, where the Conservatives have a nearly 12,000 vote majority, would not guarantee a Corbyn government but it would be a strong early signal that change is in the air.

Tooting

• Expected declaration time: 1.30 a.m.
• By-election winner in 2016: Rosena Allin-Khan (Labour)
• Labour majority over Conservatives: 6,357
• Swing required to win: 9.9%
• Conservative target seat number: 24

The battle for London's marginal seats could be the decisive factor in deciding the outcome of this general election. While Labour campaigners report that the party is doing badly in its northern heartlands and the Midlands, activists report that their vote is holding up well in the capital.

In fact one poll conducted during this campaign suggests that Labour's support could be up to levels seen in Labour's 1997 landlslide. If that is true then Labour's Rosena Allin-Khan, who won the seat in a by-election last year after its former occupant Sadiq Khan became London mayor, should have little difficulty hanging on here. However, Tooting is just 24 on the list of Tory targets, the party's local candidate Dan Watkins is well known in the area, and Sadiq Khan won by just 2,000 votes in 2015, so a possible upset here is still on the cards.

Games, be they indoors or out, are a great way to spend quality time with the people we love — while also getting to have some fun while we're at it.

Whether you're trying to find something more fun to do with your friends than binging on Netflix, or looking for a good rainy day activity, games are an enduring tradition for a reason; they don't rely on electricity or wires, are extremely portable, and you seem to feel like you're really spending time with the people you're playing with — in a good way. 

They're so ubiquitous that I pretty much never think about them until I find myself in the middle of playing one, but it surprised me to find that a decent number (even more than one surprised me) of the most frequently added items to Amazon Wedding registries were in fact games. After further reflection, I realized there's nothing really surprising about that as a pastime that brings people together and makes home really feel like a home. 

If you're trying to reinstate family time, break up the routine with a raucous friendly game night or you just want to have a couple on deck for the inevitable host- or hostessing event at your place, Amazon has some of the best to offer. Indoor and outdoor games are the kind of thing you'll be grateful to have when the guests come over too early, but you might not buy them on a whim, so consider picking up some options for your place now.

Below are 16 of the best games you can buy on Amazon.

If you don't know your gels from your pomades, you're not alone. 

The world of men's hair product is daunting, but don't be afraid. We've distilled it down to four basic categories that should suit any kind of hair.

No matter what kind of hair you have, at least one of these products is bound to tame your mane and make it look great.

1. Hair wax (a.k.a. putty, clay, glue, molding creme, or styling paste)

For guys with straight or wavy hair, wax is the perfect product to use on a daily basis. It makes hair look effortlessly styled with a medium hold and the lowest shine of all hair products.

Another benefit comes from the heaps of texture it adds to all types of hair. It's good for a "messy look" that actually doesn't look messy at all.

Though it comes in many variations, most are made with different waxes like beeswax. They're also water soluble and will easily wash out of your hair. 

American Crew Fiber is the tried-and-true hair wax favorite, but other good choices include proprietary brands made by popular barber shop chains like Blind Barber and Fellow Barber.

2. Pomade

Pomades are hair wax's classic cousin. They combine a lot of hold with a lot of shine and are the best product to use for a slicked-back pompadour look or "Mad Men"-style side part. Again, pomades work best for men with straight or wavy hair, especially if it's on the long side.

The shiny finish and superior hold of pomades are what really separates them from hair waxes. Pomades are ideal for hairstyles that don't need a lot of movement, since they can sometimes feel waxy or greasy to the touch.

All of our favorite hair wax brands also make very suitable pomades, including American Crew. Uppercut also makes an extra-strength pomade called Monster Hold.

3. Styling cream

While hair wax and pomades can be similar, styling cream is a different beast altogether. Instead of a waxy solid like our first two products, styling cream is more of a thick liquid and is suitable for curly-haired men. It offers a light shine with no hold at all, and it takes care of the frizz and unruliness in your hair.

In short, styling cream will leave your hair manageable without drying it out.

For styling cream brands, you really can't go wrong. Moroccanoil has gained a lot of popularity recently for taking good care of both men's and woman's hair, but men's-focused creams like the Fellow Barber's Styling Cream and Malin + Goetz's sage styling cream are also excellent choices. Finally, Bumble and Bumble makes another good unisex alternative.

Donuts for dessert, hand-lettered invitations, and hanging backdrops for a picture-perfect photo op — these are just a few of the latest wedding trends.

While most of these hot new trends surround food, fashion, and décor, we don't often get a look into the trends that affect weddings themselves. Things like your hometown, family income, and your political beliefs can have a huge impact on whom you marry and when you marry them.

WeddingWire conducted a survey in celebration of its 10th anniversary that looks into relationship and wedding trends over the last decade. Read on for seven ways that weddings (and couples!) have evolved since 2007.

1. Couples are marrying later.

As women are empowered to be more career oriented and less dependent on marriage for financial stability, they've been tying the knot later. In 2007, the average age of marriage for a female was 26, and that number has jumped to 30 since then. In comparison, men are, on average, 32 when they get married as opposed to 29 back in '07.

2. Couples are spending more on engagement rings.

Ten years ago, the average price for an engagement ring was $2,600. Not anymore. Today, couples are shelling out $5,000 for their bling. Perhaps they're stepping outside the box and saying "yes" to non-traditional rings that are as unique as they are. (Black diamonds, anyone?)

3. Couples are staying engaged longer.

In 2007, an engagement typically lasted about eight months. Fast forward to today, and an engagement averages about 13 months. That's a pretty significant jump!

According to WeddingWire, couples are prolonging their engagements to plan more elaborate, over-the-top weddings. Additionally, many couples tend to cohabitate before they get married, so they don't feel as much of a rush to tie the knot.

Banks play an important role in our lives and an even greater part as intermediaries in the global financial system. The largest banks are located in China, which is not surprising given that the Chinese economy continues to grow at a rate that is approximately 3-times the rate of growth in the U.S., which is the world’s largest economy. 

10. Credit Agricole

Number 10 is the French banking giant Credit Agricole Group. The company was founded in 1894 and is headquartered in Montrouge, France. The bank has an asset value of $1.91 trillion and is rated by Forbes as one of the world’s top 20 most sustainable companies.

9. Bank of America

The 9th most valuable bank is Bank of America, which boasts an asset value of $2.15 trillion. The company focuses on retail banking and has nearly 5,000 retail outlets, and offers personal and business banking as well as investment services.

8. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group

Number 8 is Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. The bank is the second-largest public company in Japan and has an asset value of $2.46 trillion. The company was formed on October 1, 2005 with the merger of Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group and Osaka-based UFJ Holdings.
