In May it was announced that Tom Brady would be on the cover of EA Sports' "Madden NFL 18," the latest version of the popular video-game franchise. 

Much like the popular Sports Illustrated-cover curse, the Madden video game has its own eyebrow-raising history: the "Madden Curse."

Ever since athletes began appearing on the cover of Madden in the late '90s, they seem to almost immediately lose significant amounts of playing time because of injuries, run-ins with the law, or other reasons.

Below we document the long history of the "Madden Curse," with some help from NFL.com and DigitalTrends.com.

Early years of the Madden video-game franchise

In the early years of the Madden franchise, players occasionally appeared on the cover with John Madden, typically in the background. However, more often, Madden appeared on the cover by himself.

Madden 99 — Garrison Hearst

EA Sports tried something new for Madden 99 (released in 1998). While John Madden appeared on covers in North America, Garrison Hearst of the San Francisco 49ers appeared on the cover of the PAL version released in other parts of the world. In 1998, Hearst had his best season as a pro, rushing for 1,570 yards. However, on his first carry of the divisional playoff game against the Atlanta Falcons, he severely broke his ankle and he would miss the next two seasons. This is considered the beginning of the curse.

Madden 2000 — Barry Sanders

Barry Sanders is not always considered part of the curse, but we include him here for you to decide. Shortly after it was announced that he would be on the cover (behind John Madden in the background), he announced he was retiring from the NFL and would never play again. 

If you've ever had a long list of things you want to accomplish, you might be familiar with the feeling that you don't have enough time or energy to do them all.

I'm very familiar with that feeling — I have more on the list than I can often keep track of: I want to eat healthier, exercise more, cook more often, get less takeout, take fewer cabs, not eat the ice cream in the freezer (or at least not replace the ice cream in the freezer once I've eaten it), check off my whole to-do list, and be the most productive, functional person I can be, all while maintaining my social life and sanity.

And as you might imagine, I'm never quite able to focus on — much less achieve — every goal on that list.

So I decided to test myself. For one week, I would commit to focusing on, and achieving, all of my goals.

The first step in this plan was to explicitly define "perfect."

After going through my general wants and digging into the specifics, my weekly goal list looked like this:

1. Exercise five times, for at least 30 minutes. The American Heart Association recommends at least 30 minutes a day, five times a week, to maintain cardiovascular health and strength, so I'd increase my gym sessions from two or three a week to five.

2. All meals prepared at home, with the exception of one night — meal-prepping all of my lunches, and cooking all of my dinners, allowing myself takeout or a restaurant on Friday or Saturday. Similar to the "if you stopped buying coffee you'd save so much money" adage, I know if I spent less money on lunches, I could put it toward other things I'd like to spend money on (vacations, concerts, savings).

3. Actually stick to my weekly expendable "fun" budget of $75.

4. Wake up at 6:30 a.m. during the week (a number of successful people wake up early to maximize productivity) AND get a full seven hours of sleep, the minimum necessary for adults, according to the CDC. That meant I should be bed by 11:30 p.m.

5. Avoid sweets. I've always admired the people who do Whole 30 or entirely cut sugar out of their lives — but I really enjoy chocolate. So, I thought I'd settle for making better snack choices.

6. No alcohol Monday-Thursday. If I was committing myself to waking up earlier, and exercising more often, I wanted to get a full night's rest, and drinking leads to poorer sleep quality. Plus, I wanted to avoid draining my budget on a bar tab.

7. Accomplish all of my chores and those annoying to-dos that pop up and you put off thinking I'll do it later.

8. No cabs (unless my budget allowed for it).

I can tell you immediately: Things did not go according to plan.

Day 1, Sunday: Successful, but entirely work

In my mind, Sundays are for meal prep and laundry, so that's what I did — and besides watching Twin Peaks and Game of Thrones, that's about all I did. 

Wednesday was the only other day during the week I'd be home before 9 p.m., so I needed to prep enough food to last me a few days without cooking again. I spent the afternoon planning, shopping, and cooking, in addition to laundry, dishes, and cleaning out the fridge. All of this brought me exactly to 8 p.m.

The upfront cost of the groceries initially unnerved me — I spent almost double what I normally spend — but I also usually don't see my takeout and lunches consolidated into my grocery bill, so I was able to understand that it would still (hopefully) save me money in the end.

And while I wanted popcorn to accompany the Game of Thrones finale, I already bought all of the food I allowed myself, so I denied the temptation. I crawled into bed and fell asleep by exactly 11:30 p.m.

Money spent: $70 groceries, $5 laundry, $3.15 coffee ($71.85 left for week)
Made all meals at home: Yes
Exercise: None (5/5 workouts left)
Alcohol: 1 beer
Sweets: I might have had a piece of 80% dark chocolate that was hanging out in the fridge
Cabs: None
To-do list completed: Yes
Time asleep: 11:30 p.m.

Day 2, Monday: Almost completely successful

My alarm went off at 6:30 a.m., but I hit snooze out of habit, and rolled out of bed at about 6:45 a.m. 

I usually buy coffee every morning — I realized this is a non-negotiable part of my daily routine — and this Monday, I got one for free because of the rewards card I have with my bagel place. 

Although I packed my lunch and dinner — I had a bachata dance lesson after work — I realized I left my breakfast at home and I ate the trail mix my office has in our kitchen. While this should be OK, it had chocolate, so I had to take a point for myself for giving in so soon. 

On the successful end, the dance lessons were a gift from my boyfriend, so it didn't count against my fun-money, and it counted toward my exercise! 

Time awake: 6:45 a.m.
Money spent: $0
Made all meals at home: Yes
Exercise: 60 minutes (1/5 workouts)
Alcohol: none
Cabs: None
Sweets: Some chocolate
To-do list completed: Yes
Time asleep: 10:30 p.m.

Day 3, Tuesday: One misstep after another led the day to spiral out of control

Tuesday morning was initially very smooth, but after that, there were some speed bumps that made it the black mark on my week.

By the time I normally wake up (7:30), I had put Sunday's laundry away, washed Monday's tupperware, showered and dressed, packed for the gym, and organized all of my food for the day.

I was not feeling great on Monday, so I squeezed in a doctor's appointment Tuesday morning, and I ended up spending unexpected money. I also ended up making more work for myself — while I called my old retirement company to transfer 401K funds to my new provider, I made a mistake and would need to get a notarized letter to correct it. 

Luckily I had Muay Thai after work — which is my week's saving grace because I get to socialize while exercising and actively working out any stress that bubbles up during the week.

After, I went to my boyfriend's to help him move the last few things from his old apartment to his new one. When I got there, he had a slice of pizza, garlic knots, and Diet Coke waiting for me — which was just about the greatest thing I could've hoped for that day, and I was not about to say no. That pizza was totally worth it (plus: free).

It was 11 p.m. by the time we moved things, and still raining. Since the trains have been pretty unreliable this summer, I considered Uber Pool was definitely worth the $5 cost.

However, when I pulled up to my apartment, I realized I had my gym bag but not my second bag, which contained my wallet — and keys. Needless to say, one cab ride turned into three.

I also realized — when getting cash for coffee — how silly it is to use an ATM with a fee. It's an extra $2.50 — which means the coffee that normally costs $1.75 sort of costs me $4.25. I will not be doing that again.

Time awake: 6:45 a.m.
Money spent: $61.34 (left in fun budget: $50.51 — not counting medical fees)
Made all meals: No 
Exercise: 60 minutes (2/5 workouts)
Alcohol: None
Cabs: Yes
Sweets: Yes
To-do list completed: No — and dishes needed to be washed
Time asleep: 12:15 a.m. 

The Toronto International Film Festival starts on Thursday, which means it’s time for awards season to begin.

That’s right, with all of Hollywood heading to our neighbors in the north, it’s already time to start building the hype for those movies that we’ll be rooting for (or will be tired of hearing about) come Oscar night.

Some of those TIFF titles getting a lot of talk already include the Sundance hit “Call Me By Your Name,” Emma Stone as tennis legend Billy Jean King in “Battle of the Sexes,” and Guillermo del Toro’s latest unique fantasy, “The Shape of Water.”

Here are 18 movies playing at TIFF this year that will be contenders come Oscar time (and coming to a theater near you soon):

SEE ALSO: 34 movies you have to see this fall — including "Justice League,""It," and "Blade Runner 2049"

‘Battle of the Sexes’ (Release date: September 22)

Coming off a best actress win for “La La Land” at the most recent Oscars ceremony earlier this year, Emma Stone is looking to return to the big night for a second straight year with her portrayal of Billy Jean King. Stone plays the tennis legend in this look back at King’s historic match against male tennis pro Bobby Riggs (played by Steve Carell, who might get some Oscar buzz, too).

‘Breathe’ (Release date: October 13)

For the directorial debut of Andy Serkis (Caesar in “The Planet of the Apes” movies), he takes on the inspiring love story of Robin (played by Andrew Garfield) and Diana Cavendish (Claire Foy from Netflix's "The Crown"). At 28, Robin was diagnosed with polio and given only three months to live. However, he would go on to live into his 60s and become an advocate for the disabled. Garfield has had a knack, of late, for choosing movies that get award attention, and we’ll see if that continues with this one.

‘Call Me By Your Name’ (Release date: November 24)

An Oscar contender since having its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, this drama starring Armie Hammer as an American student who falls for the son of the teacher he’s staying with abroad in Italy, comes into TIFF with a lot of hype. That hype is likely to only build.

A few years ago, I came across this passage in a New York Times essay on summer by Tim Kreider:

"And I'll probably still be evading the same truth I'm evading now: that the life I ended up with, much as I complain about it, was pretty much the one I chose. And my dissatisfactions with it are really with my own character, with my hesitation and timidity."

Really makes you think, huh?

I copied it and saved it in an email draft as a reminder to take control over my own life. To own my choices, and to understand that what I have now is what I have chosen, and what I'll have in the future is what I've yet to choose.

And, then, slowly, my email drafts-as-reminders started to multiply. I kept stumbling across questions — guiding questions, if you will. Questions smart people suggest asking yourself to figure out what you want, how you can do better, and where you want to go.

Questions about all the trappings of adulthood: career, relationships, money, fitness, joy.

Below, find the questions I've starred — the ones I've meant to ask, but haven't quite gotten around to (a distinct choice in itself). I hope exposing them to the light outside my drafts folder maybe will help you ... or, at the very least, get me to finally sit down and think.

What do I want that I already have? What do I just like? What else, if anything, do I truly want?

via NYC-based psychotherapist Katherine Schafler, in a post published on Thrive Global.

Schafler was writing about the "ambition trap"— the tendency for getting everything we want to make us unhappy.

"The more self-aware you are, the easier it'll be for you to distinguish between what you like, and what you actually want to acquire," she writes. "But how do we make that distinction? As human beings, we're so used to wanting more as a default mode. More food, more money, more friends, more sex, more stuff, more time, more attention. So how do we start wanting less?"

It starts with the questions posed above.

If you had a magic pill that would let you live the life of your dreams, what would your life look like?

via Ramit Sethi, in a post published on GrowthLab

We all say we want "more," writes Sethi, but few of us actually know what "more" looks like. To get it, we first have to define it. For your answer to this question, he writes, it's better to get specific. Here's Sethi:

• When you woke up, what would your schedule be? What time would you wake up? What would your house look like? (Remember, this is a magic pill. Your life can be whatever you want — get creative!)

• What would you do for work? What would you do after work? How would you get home? Would you even have to go to the office?

• How much money would you make?What would you do MORE of and what would you do LESS of? What would you do with that money as the ultimate extravagance?

One year from now, two years from now, five years from now, what will I wish I had been learning today?

via Drew Houston of Dropbox, in a post published on Business Insider

It's smart to be "systematic" about learning, Houston told Business Insider US editor in chief Alyson Shontell on an episode of Business Insider's podcast "Success! How I Did It."

He said:

"Whether it's just the fundamentals of business or things like public speaking or being more inspiring or being a better leader, these are all things you can get better at with practice. You should set your sights high in terms of what you aspire to do, but you also have to be patient.

"It's like playing an instrument. You're not going to be great as a public speaker, or you're not going to improve a lot in five days, but in five years, you might be really surprised at how much you can improve."

Taking home a bigger paycheck sounds nice to just about anyone.

It sounds so nice to some people that they will move to a different country to earn more money.

Globally, 41% of expats relocated because of their career or their partner's career, whether by choice or out of necessity, according to the Expat Insider 2017 report from expatriate network and global guide InterNations.

To compile the data, InterNations surveyed 12,519 expats, representing 166 nationalities and living in 188 countries around the world.

In the survey, expats were asked to compare their current income to the income they would earn at home for the same or a similar job.

The top 10 countries where at least 60% of expats said they earn more than at home are concentrated in the Middle East and Northern Europe. But it's all relative — the report found expats' satisfaction with their personal finances varied greatly depending on cost of living and the state of the country's economy, even if workers were earning a higher dollar amount than in their home country.

For instance, 76% of expats in Luxembourg report earning a higher income — a greater share than any other country surveyed — but 23% said their disposable household income is still not enough to cover everything they need in daily life.

Below, learn more about the 10 countries where expats are earning more money than they would at home, and how it affects their personal finances.

10. Singapore

• 62% of expats in Singapore think they make more than they would in a similar position back home — one-third believe their income is a lot higher.

• 43% have a gross annual household income of more than $100,000. On average, 21% of global expats have household earnings above six-figures. 

• Still, cost of living is particularly high in Singapore, securing it a spot in the bottom 10 on the cost of living index.

9. Norway

• 72% of expats in Norway believe they make more than they would in a similar position back home — 33% say it's a lot more. 

• Yet, 71% judge the cost of living less than favorably.

• On the bright side: Norway ranks among the top 10 destinations for work-life balance worldwide.

8. United Arab Emirates

• 71% of expats believe they make more in the UAE than they would in a similar position back home — about half think that they make a lot more.

• 16% have an annual household income of more than $150,000, compared to only one in ten expats worldwide. 

• However, 67% rate the affordability of housing in UAE negatively, and 27% say their disposable household income is not enough to cover everything they need for daily life.

Last week and over the weekend, tropical storm Irma struck the Florida Keys and several Caribbean islands. As a Category 5 hurricane at its peak, Irma brought flooding and wind gusts of over 215 mph.

Officials ordered more than 6.5 million Floridians to evacuate, and more than 70,000 took refuge in more than 385 shelters. The storm devastated many islands in the Caribbean — like St. Martin and St. Barts — and they now face severe food and water shortages. At least 34 Irma-related deaths have been reported.

This all happened less than a week after Hurricane Harvey slammed into the Texas Gulf Coast.

Charities — both big and small — will step in. But not all charities are created equal. 

Charity Navigator, a nonprofit that has independently rated over 8,000 charities, compiled a list of some of the best organizations to donate to in the wake of Irma. Its team considers several factors when giving a charity a score out of 100. These include program expenses (e.g. how much of the donated money goes straight to victims) and transparency (e.g. audited financials prepared by an independent accountant).

The charities that Charity Navigator recommends for Irma, along with their scores out of 100, are below.

Note: Right now, it is not clear whether all these organizations will spend 100% of donations received on Hurricane Irma relief and associated expenses. But in past large-scale disasters, high percentages of donations have directly gone to victims. For Harvey charities, click here.

Local Floridian organizations: Volunteer Florida, Habitat for Humanity of Jacksonville, Boca Helping Hands, Heart of Florida United Way, Neighborhood Health Clinic, All Faiths Food Bank, Dan Marino Foundation, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, and the Women's Fund of Miami-Dade.

These local charities have all received scores between 90 and 100, and work in the most heavily affected areas of Florida.

Sara Nason, a Charity Navigator spokesperson, told Business Insider that choosing between donations to a local or national organization is a matter of preference. The main thing to look for is that the charity is an established and highly-rated organization.

"Local organizations will continue to work in the community long after the disaster has happened, as they have an established presence in the community. National and international organizations deal with disasters at a large scale, with an established infrastructure and coordinated teams that specifically hold a skill-set for responding to crises," she said in an email.

Local Caribbean organizations: Antigua and Barbuda Red Cross, Fondos Unidos de Puerto Rico, Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands, St. John Community Foundation, BVI Recovery Fund, Anguilla Beaches, and the Netherlands Red Cross.

These local charities work in the most heavily affected areas of the Caribbean.

Charity Navigator does not rate local organizations based outside the US, but these are reputable and have existed for many years.

The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency also has a PDF for direct donations for IRMA relief at their website.

Islamic Relief USA — 92.92

Islamic Relief USA aims to alleviate suffering, hunger, illiteracy, and diseases worldwide. Launched in California in 1993, the nonprofit works on a variety of projects, including education and training, water and sanitation, income generation, orphan support, health and nutrition, and emergency relief.

Every year, just when I think we've reached Peak Pumpkin Spice, the food and home industries surprise me again.

Look, I'm not a pumpkin spice hater. I have no problem with it as a flavor — one whiff of the comforting mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice and I'm ready to jump into a pile of fallen leaves. It's just that this autumnal aggression is starting to get overwhelming. You can't turn the corner at a grocery store without seeing at least one pumpkin spice-flavored something.

With the dizzying number of pumpkin spice products already available now, I decided to round up the best and the weirdest to show that companies really have no fear when it comes to taking advantage of the pumpkin spice craze. 

Here are our picks for pumpkin spice products, starting with the ones we're a little skeptical about.  

Chili starter

A big pot of hearty chili is perfect for cold fall and winter days, but I think I'd prefer to save my pumpkin spice for sweet treats. 

Urban Accents Savory Pumpkin Spice Chili Starter, $5.32, available at Jet

Sprinkles

Add sprinkles as the finishing touch on your cake and cookies (or chili, I guess?)

Wilton Pumpkin Spice Crunch Sprinkles, $3.53, available at Jet

Cake mix for your dog

Yup, you read that correctly, folks. Now even your dog can finally partake in this seasonal delicacy. 

Puppy Cake Pumpkin Flavored Cake Mix, $7.99, available at Jet

Tattoos are a popular works of art and numerous celebrities are among those who choose to go under the needle.

Stars like Miley Cyrus go for a lot of small tats, while others become an iconic feature, like Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson's bull tattoo. Then you have ones that are truly hard to forget, like the paw prints on Eve's chest. 

Here are 27 celebrities and their iconic ink: 

Justin Bieber has dozens of tattoos, including a portrait of Jesus on his leg.

Bieber's other ink includes a giant eagle on his abdomen, a grizzly bear on his chest, "patience" down his neck, and "better at 70" on his thigh. 

Rihanna got an under-boob tattoo of Egyptian goddess Isis to honor her late grandmother.

In addition to the goddess tattoo, some of her others includes a henna-inspired tattoo on her hand, stars down her back, and a shark on her ankle. 

Johnny Depp has more than 30 different tattoos, including a sparrow tattoo inspired by his "Pirates of the Caribbean" character and his son.

The sparrow tattoo is an inverted version of one featured on his character Jack Sparrow from "Pirates." Depp has said the sparrow represents his son Jack, who was born in 2002. Other tattoos include the infamous "wino forever" banner on his arm that used to read"Winona forever" in honor of his relationship with Winona Ryder and his daughter's name, Lily-Rose, tattooed on his chest.

Hurricane Irma smacked the coast of Florida on Sunday as a Category 4 storm and made its way up the northwestern coast, weakening slightly to tropical storm status on Monday. The National Hurricane Center forecast suggested the storm could further soften to a tropical depression by Tuesday afternoon.

In its wake, Irma left a trail of destruction. 

Some 6.3 million people in Florida were ordered to evacuate before Irma made landfall, according to the Florida Division of Emergency Management. With winds of up to 70 mph, the storm overturned boats, like this one seen in Biscayne, Florida on Monday.

Streets flooded all along the coast and in North Miami, forcing people to flee their homes with garbage bags.

Homes were destroyed, power lines were toppled, and cars were sunk by Irma's raging winds and torrential rains. A mobile housing park in Naples, Florida, was nearly razed to the ground.

Nothing lets you connect with nature quite like a beautiful hike.

For some, that means a laid back stroll, while others prefer an adrenaline inducing brush with death. 

This list is for the latter: these are the 15 most terrifying, dangerous, and deadly hikes in the world.

Half Dome, Mist Trail, California

According to a Yosemite hiking website, over 60 people have died on Half Dome and the trail leading up to it. In fact, at least five people have died there the past 10 years alone, mostly when the rock was wet from rain.

Although steel cables help climbers on the last part of the ascent, rain causes it to become incredibly slippery.

Mount Hua Shan, China

This hair-rising path is literally no more than a few rotting wooden planks bolted into the side of a cliff with rusty nails, hundreds of feet above the ground.

Called the most dangerous hike in the world, it is rumored that100 people die on Hua Shan annually, although there are no official death statistics. However, it doesn't seem too far off considering that there's a point in the hike where even the planks of wood disappear, and where hikers must rely on small cavities carved into stone.

Striding Edge, United Kingdom

Striding Edge is one of the most difficult hikes in the UK. The most dangerous part is arguably the descent onto Swirral Edge, which can be incredibly slippery, especially in wintry conditions. In fact, a married couple recently plunged more than 400 feet off the peak, but survived.

The INSIDER Summary:

• Hollywood diets are notorious for being full of gimmicks and poor advice.
• INSIDER has rounded up a list of sound nutrition advice from celebrities, as backed by nutritionists.
• Chrissy Teigen, among other stars, starts her day with a protein-filled egg breakfast.

Hollywood is not exactly known for dispensing sound dietary advice. From Instagram-friendly detox diets to eating baby food, celebrity-backed diets range from bizarre to dangerous. 

INSIDER rounded up the best dietary advice that celebrities swear by, from Chrissy Teigen's love of eggs for breakfast to Heidi Klum's advice to not deprive yourself of cheat meals. 

We spoke with several nutritionists who laid out 11 Hollywood diet tips are actually worth following.

Nicole Scherzinger: Only snack at certain times of the day

Mindful snacking at specific times of day can not only curb hunger pangs but can help as an afternoon pick-me-up."

As most busy, on-the- go celebrities will know, there is an optimal time for snacking," Frida Harju, nutritionist at Swedish health app Lifesum, told INSIDER. "The best time to grab an afternoon protein snack is between 3 and 4 p.m. Eating protein at this time of day will boost your metabolism and lower your blood sugar at the same time."

Former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger snacks on healthy fruit in the afternoon.

Chrissy Teigen: Always have eggs for breakfast

"I have to have eggs every day," Chrissy Teigen, model, mother, and cookbook author told Delish. "I like a farmer's breakfast: two over-easy eggs, turkey bacon or pork sausage, sliced avocado, and grilled tomatoes."

"To keep your energy levels up until lunch, you need to fuel up on good protein," Harju agrees. "Simple carbohydrates, such as bread, burn quickly, making you feel lethargic and  tired when your sugar level dips as a consequence."

Katy Perry: Keep your meals simple

Singer Katy Perry is just one of the Hollywood elite who have followed the Five Factor Diet, a meal plan that focuses on five-ingredient meals from five key food groups. It all boils down to simplicity. 

"While it might sound like a diet fad, keeping the number of different flavors on your plate to a minimumcan help you to eat less," Harju said. "When you add a new flavor to a meal, it renews your appetite, causing you to eat more. Like spaghetti bolognese — once you add Parmesan cheese, that dish becomes a whole lot more interesting."

LONDON – Twice a year, Z/Yen releases its Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI), and the latest for September 2017 is just out.

The survey gives cities a combined score based on five main factors:

• Business environment
• Financial sector development
• Infrastructure
• Human capital
• Reputational and general factors.

There was a huge reaction when New York dethroned London as the world's top financial hub in 2013.

But the British capital regained its crown in 2015 and this year extended its lead despite the UK's looming departure from the European Union.

Check out all the other cities that made the cut:

20. Shenzhen – The Chinese city climbed two places to reach the top 20, scoring highly in the infrastructure category.

19. Boston – The US city tumbled 10 places this year, making it one of the biggest fallers alongside San Francisco.

18. Dubai – Up seven places in the ranking, Dubai was boosted by a strong showing in the reputation category, placing sixth in the world.

Earlier this year, a new ranking determined that Sweden is the best country to live in if you're a woman.

Now, BBC Radio 4's "Woman's Hour" has released a list of the best places to live in Britain as a woman — as well as the worst.

The data splits Britain into 380 regions, then ranks them from 1 to 380 for a variety of factors, including the price of local housing, safety, life satisfaction, and the average woman's full-time salary — taking into account the local gender pay gap, too.

East Dunbartonshire in Scotland was named the best place to live as a woman, thanks to its excellent education facilities, pleasant environment, and average woman's income.

Scotland, the Southeast of England, and the West Midlands entirely dominate the top 10 best places to live as a woman, which include West Oxfordshire, which placed third, and Shropshire, which placed 10th.

Towards the bottom of the table, four London boroughs fall amongst the 10 worst places to live in Britain as a woman. Islington was named the number one worst place to live for women due to its unaffordable housing, large gender pay gap, and low levels of life satisfaction and happiness amongst female inhabitants.

Kingston upon Hull, ranked fifth worst place to live as a woman, was named the worst place for a woman to live under the age of 30 due to high levels of unemployment in the area.

Scroll on to see the 10 worst places to live in Britain as a woman, ranked in ascending order.

Mercedes' GLC F-Cell will come equipped with two carbon-fiber tanks capable of holding 4.4 kilograms of hydrogen and a separate 9.3 kWh battery pack. The battery pack can help power the vehicle when hydrogen runs low.

Mercedes was smart to install its hydrogen tech in an SUV because the tanks take up so much room. Passengers shouldn't be as cramped as they would be in a Honda Clarity or Toyota Mirai.

Here's the fuel-cell stack in all her glory. Combined with the battery, the Mercedes says the SUV can drive 271 miles on a single charge, according to NEDC standards. The car will have a lower range estimate in the US once it's rated by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Millennials and Gen X can agree on at least one thing: they love "Game of Thrones."

Rotten Tomatoes recently conducted a survey for Business Insider of over 7,500 television viewers to determine their viewing habits.

As video becomes more accessible and audiences are presented with more ways than ever to consume it, Rotten Tomatoes found some surprising similarities and differences between millennials (18-34) and Gen X (34-54).

Here's everything you should know about how millennials and Gen X watch TV:

Both generations named "Game of Thrones" their favorite TV show over the past 20 years, and their favorite current TV show.

Both generations agree that Netflix has the best overall shows.

89% of millennials say they watch most of their "TV" on Netflix versus live TV. 78% of Gen X say the same. (This includes traditional TV shows Netflix has rights to, like "Breaking Bad.")

More Gen X viewers watch TV shows produced by networks, while nearly half of Millennials (48%) watch Netflix original shows. 

Netflix made a deal with Marvel Comics back in 2013 to produce four Marvel-universe shows and a mini-series.

The resulting five original programs have varied greatly in quality, at least in the eyes of critics. 

To find out which of the shows have fared the best, we turned to review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes for the composite critical receptions of Marvel's "Daredevil,""Luke Cage, "Jessica Jones,""Iron Fist" and "The Defenders."

Here are Netflix's five original Marvel shows, ranked from worst to best, according to critics:

A home built by the Rockefeller family in 1938 has gone up for sale for the first time in more than 70 years, asking $22 million.

The 75-acre estate, known as Hudson Pines, was the longtime country home of the late billionaire philanthropist David Rockefeller, who died in March at the age of 101. 

Rockefeller was the former CEO and chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank, and he was the last surviving grandson of John D. Rockefeller, the famous oil tycoon. He was a noted philanthropist and a signer of the Giving Pledge, an agreement to give away the majority of one's wealth.

Rockefeller and his wife, Peggy, who died in 1996, split their time with their family between a Manhattan townhouse and this estate in Pocantico Hills, New York.

David Turner and Anthony Cutugno of Houlihan Lawrence are listing the home, which has 11 bedrooms and more than 11,000 square feet of space.

Let's take a look around.

The estate comprises 75 acres of land near the Hudson River.

Architect Mott Schmidt — known for his work with other affluent families, like the Astors and the Vanderbilts — built the main house in 1938. According to the listing, David Rockefeller bought the house, which was originally built for his sister, Abby Rockefeller Milton, in 1946.

Many of the architect's signature design details, like this floating staircase, remain around the home.

Chipotle has finally added queso to the menu nationwide. 

Earlier this month, Chipotle announced that queso would be available at all locations across the US on September 12. It will cost customers $1.25 to add the cheesy dip to an entrée, and up to $5.25 for a large side order of queso and chips. 

The chain debuted queso in its New York City test kitchen in July. Chipotle began serving queso at roughly 350 restaurants in California and Colorado in August.

Chipotle said in a statement that it has tweaked its queso recipe based on customer feed back and crafted a final recipe that "has proved very popular with customers." 

Business Insider tried the chain's original queso at Chipotle's test kitchen, which also serves other test items, including new salads and margaritas. Here's what the chain's first all-natural take on the cheesy dip was like.

The test kitchen, called Chipotle Next Kitchen, is on the corner of Sixth Avenue and 13th Street in Manhattan.

Wandering in, you'd think it's just a run-of-the-mill Chipotle, complete with the standard fast-casual decor and the lunchtime rush.

But, this location was the first in the world to add queso to the menu.

On a recent tour of the Costa Rican coffee farm where he volunteers as a tour guide, Felix Salazar poured out a cup of the inky, aromatic brew and asked me to wait for what he called "the bite."

Within seconds after I took a sip, the coffee's initial sweet flavor gave way to a deeper, tangy taste that left me wanting more.

I'm not alone. Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, and its active ingredient — caffeine — is currently the most popular psychoactive drug on the planet.

But coffee is in trouble.

According to a new study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the world's largest coffee-producing regions could shrink by as much as 88% by 2050 as a result of climate change. The study is the first of its kind to look at how bees — key coffee crop pollinators — will be impacted by a warmer planet.

While the vast majority of coffee-making hotspots in South America will be decimated by climate change, some countries may be spared, according to the new analysis. One of those countries is Costa Rica. Here's what it's like to make coffee in the country.

The region of Monteverde, where a lot of Costa Rica's coffee is grown, is a misty, cloud-enshrined area about three hours from San Jose, the capital. The humid, shady climate is ideal for growing coffee plants, but the drive to reach it can be a challenge if you're not familiar with the roads.

Here's a snapshot from my recent drive to Cafe Monteverde, a coffee farm in Costa Rica.

I was introduced to the coffee farm by Felix Salazar (left), a nature photographer born and raised in Monteverde who also works on the farm and gives tours in his free time. Felix walked me through the rolling green fields where the coffee for Cafe Monteverde is grown.

Major car makers from around the world are in Germany for the Frankfurt Motor Show — and this year's gathering looks like it will be a big year for electric cars.

We rounded up the electric car models that are set to make their international debut.

While some of these are still concepts, several are headed for production and could challenge Tesla in the coming years.

BMW's flagship electric car is getting a new dose of power at this year's show. It will have a 184-horsepower electric motor, up from the 170 hp that's been standard since 2014.

BMW says we can also expect upgrades when it comes to speed, torque, and range. The German automaker said it plans to reveal 12 fully electric cars by 2025.

BMW will also debut a new Mini concept that will serve as the basis for a production model coming in 2019.

There's no word on specs yet but we're hoping for a 200-mile range.

BMW will unveil a four-door, electric sedan at the Frankfurt Motor Show. We think it could be the i5, which has been rumored for a release in 2021.

There have been reports that BMW is planning to launch the i5 in 2021, so we're hoping that's the reveal BMW has in store.

Here's what BMW has said about the mystery reveal:

"At this year’s IAA, we will unveil another significant milestone in our roadmap for e-mobility. It is a vision of how we imagine a four-door, fully-electric vehicle between the i3 and i8. It is a vision we want to realize in the foreseeable future. And a further step in our commitment to sustainable mobility."
