Manipulative people can be found in every walk of life. You might meet them at work where they take credit for your achievements, or in social situations where they are controlling, demanding, and even abusive.

Knowing the right words to deal with these people can give you the strength to stand up to them or walk away. In the cases of romantic relationships, manipulation is probably a sign of an abusive relationship, so the best thing to do is to run fast and far away.

Once equipped with the terms, it can be easier to see manipulative people for who they really are, and you can gain the strength to walk away.

Here are 9 phrases you should know if you think someone is manipulating you, and what they mean.

1. Monitoring

In the first stages of a romantic relationship, it's normal to feel butterflies, and want to know what your new partner is doing all the time. However, if the person you're starting to be intimate with is manipulative then their affection and attention could be love bombing.

Lisa Aronson Fontes is a psychology researcher at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and author of "Invisible Chains: Overcoming Coercive Control in Your Intimate Relationship." She told Business Insider that if your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to be in constant contact with you, it could be a warning sign. In fact, constant texts and phone calls can be a form of stalking.

Not replying to the barrage of messages may end with you being on the receiving end of your partner's wrath, which is a huge red flag. You deserve your space, and anyone worth your time will know and respect this.

2. Object constancy

Everybody falls out sometimes, especially in romantic relationships. However, the level to which manipulative people like narcissists get angry with their significant others is beyond what is acceptable.

Those with personality disorders like narcissism lack something called "object constancy," which is the ability to keep your positive feelings about someone whilst also being angry, annoyed, or disappointed in them.

When they hurl insults and scream at their partner, narcissists don't feel any of the affectionate feelings they once had. That's why they can seem like a completely different person in these moments, like Jekyll and Hyde. Their reaction is so powerful it can make the victim feel as though they must be in the wrong, which means they start altering their behaviour to make their controlling partner happy.

3. Moth to a flame

Contrary to popular belief, manipulative people often seek out those who are strong and confident to prey on, because it makes them feel superior. Targeting vulnerable people doesn't make them feel powerful, so they will often go after you because they see the positives in you — like a moth to a flame.

If someone is manipulating you at work, it's probably because they see your skills and they want to look like they're even more skilled than you. In a relationship, they want other people to know that someone as great as you has chosen to be with them. It's only behind the scenes that they start to bring you down, because that way they can start to break your confidence. Lower self-esteem makes it more likely you'll stick with a controlling partner, because you may feel like it's what you deserve. 

Whatever your reason to celebrate this season, make sure you choose the best champagne on offer. To celebrate Champagne Day today, we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 best champagne brands of the year…

Who doesn’t love a little glass – or, in fact, a whole bottle of bubbly? Yes, we thought so. But what brands are doing the business? Which champagne brands are proving most popular?

According to The Drinks Business, Moët & Chandon is the best-selling brand for the second year running. But who else makes the list? The run-down of 10 champagne brands is compiled by liquid sold by the glass, bottle, and as a cocktail ingredient.

This well-respected champagne brand is affordable and delicious. Located in Ludes, in the Montagne de Reims National Park, the house has been providing champagne since 1868. Not only have they made it into the top ten bestseller list, but they also were granted the right by the Russian Imperial Family to adopt its coat of arms as the family emblem. The crowned two-headed eagle has thus appeared on every Canard-Duchêne label since the end of the 19th century.

The champagne brand of choice for Marilyn Monroe, Marie Antoinette and all the stars at the Oscars, Piper-Heidsieck champagne is one of the most iconic luxury brands and a favourite among fashion and luxury lifestyle brands. So no wonder it’s still doing rather well today – after all, how many brands can say that Marie Antoinette was their first brand ambassador?

If your vision for the future workplace is a drab, cold warehouse sparsely dotted with drone employees, think again.

Over the next decade and beyond, workplaces will be geared more towards the needs of its employees, which will mean a diverse mix of spaces, furniture, and amenities, experts say.

"My view is that we're going to see more and more flexibility in workplace design," organizational psychologist and "The Best Place To Work" author Ron Friedman told Business Insider.

In researching his book, Friedman analyzed thousands of academic studies in behavioral science to better understand the conditions that help us work more effectively. In the past, he said the focus of workplace design has been on saving space, primarily for financial reasons.

"That's changing as the knowledge economy grows, and there's a greater appreciation for the extent to which the brain is influenced by its surroundings," he said. "Offering a selection of spaces for workers to choose from is going to become essential for business success."

To determine what this trend of designing workspaces around elevating worker performance might look like in the future, Business Insider also conferred with experts from office space rental company WeWork, research and advisory firm CEB (now part of Gartner), and architecture firms WXY architecture + urban design, nARCHITECTS, and ESI Design.

In designing workspaces that will serve the future workforce, Mimi Hoang, a principal at nARCHITECTS, told Business Insider, "the aim is to create synergies and spontaneous opportunities for collaboration through the diverse mix of work-related functions." Workspaces of the future will essentially function as "an expanded ecosystem."

"The day of everyone sitting by themselves at their own desk is coming to a close," Michael Schneider, a senior designer and A/V technologist at ESI Design told Business Insider. "With interpersonal, creative work proving more resilient to automation than many of the rote jobs conducted at individual work stations, expect the office of the future to be centered around collective spaces."

Emily Webster, a senior designer and A/V technologist at ESI Design, also told Business Insider that, as more and more jobs are handled by freelancers or gig workers passing through temporary spaces, offices will "need to prevent employees from feeling like strangers waiting at a bus station."

Based on these conversations, we've compiled a number of workspace design elements we may see over the next ten years and beyond.

Mixed workspaces that workers share will allow employees to move around based on their mood or the type of work they need to do.

Meanwhile, private offices will still offer teams that require closed collaboration a space to work.

• Apple is a secretive company that doesn't usually share its early prototype designs publicly. 
• But photos of several early internal iPhone models were made public in an epic court battle with Samsung in 2012. 
• The legal fight has lasted over 5 years with no signs of stopping — a judge ordered a new trial earlier this week. 

One of the most bitter legal fights in modern technology history got new life earlier this week after a judge ordered a new trial in the battle between Samsung Electronics and Apple over whether the Korean company copied the look of the original iPhone. 

The U.S. Supreme Court ordered a $399 million award against Samsung late last year, but district judge Lucy Koh ordered a new trial on Sunday. Samsung had previously paid Apple $548 million.

The legal fight has lasted over five years. "I would prefer to not keep doing this until I retire," Koh said at a hearing earlier this week. 

Apple fans may remember the legal battle not for setting precedents over design patents, but rather for giving us the best look ever into Apple's prototype design process. In 2012, Samsung filed exhibits that lifted the veil of secrecy around how Apple comes up with new products. Among sketches, emails, and computer files, one exhibit included a slew of photographs of actual iPhone prototype designs.

The designs range from a chunky iPad design to models that you might be able to recognize as early iPhones. It also includes several interesting design directions that Apple decided not to pursue, including a MacBook Air-like aluminum shell and an iPhone with eight sides and squared-off corners. 

"While Apple has been able to keep some things private, there have clearly been more things made public than the secretive company would prefer," Ina Fried wrote at the time for AllThingsD.

Although Koh has allowed both sides to pursue additional discovery in the latest trial between the two electronics giants, it's unlikely that this chapter of the legal battle will produce anything as interesting to the public as these prototype photos. 

The photos have been reproduced below. Take a look: 

Americans take their coffee many ways: hot, poured over ice, cold-brewed overnight, and even infused with nitrogen.

Crushing an egg (shell and all), whisking it with freshly ground coffee, and boiling the mixture sounds gross. The result looks terrifying, too — like a hideous swamp creature gurgling in your pot.

However, the umber-red-colored drink that results, called "egg coffee," is almost free of bitter tannins and packs an extra-strong dose of caffeine.

I first heard about egg coffee from an article by Joy Summers at Eater, which explains how the US recipe came to Minnesota via Scandinavian immigrants. The goal? Turn weak, subpar coffee and hard water into a beverage greater than the sum of its parts.

New York City has great tap water, and you can find high-quality beans pretty much anywhere nowadays. But with the weather cooling and my curiosity piqued, I decided to try brewing my own egg coffee.

Here's how I made it and what I learned during the process.

I don't have a stove-top coffee pot, which is ideal, but figured this one-quart pot would do the trick. Recipes for egg coffee vary between cultures, but hot water is a must. I put two cups on to boil.

Also required: coffee. Ground varieties from a can reportedly work well, but I used my favorite premium whole-bean roast, since I already had it at home.

One egg coffee recipe I saw called for 20 grams of ground beans, which is enough for two standard cups. So I measured it out...

• Tesla has reliably produced an endless stream of bad news during the last year.
• Investors haven't cared, or haven't cared for long.
• That pattern will probably continue, short of Tesla threatening bankruptcy.

Tesla isn't like other companies, and that's both a good thing and a bad thing.

The good part is that Tesla never conducts business as usual and has been given credit even by Tesla shorts such as David Einhorn for turning vague notions of industry "disruption" into something that adds up to a $60-billion market cap.

The bad part will yet again hit home next week when Tesla reports third-quarter earnings. Analysts are expecting the biggest loss of the year, possibly more than $3 a share. Tesla has rarely made money, but even by its own standards, Q3 2017 will be impressively negative.

And even if Tesla loses less than expected, it will still lose a lot. 

Shares of the company have been sliding over the past month or so, after an epic run-up during the first half of the year that saw the stock briefly threaten $400 while surpassing the market caps of both Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. At one juncture, a company that sold fewer than 100,000 vehicles in 2016 put General Motors in the rear-view mirror.

So the big question for market-watchers next week will be: "Can Tesla's stock laugh off another huge loss?"

In the past, the final quarter of the year has been a time when facts catch up with investor fantasy and Tesla's momentum starts to flag, so it wouldn't be surprising if shares weaken over the next two months after ascending well over 50% in 2017.

But it also wouldn't be a shock if Tesla hangs in there. It's endured its money-losing ways before. Here are some highlights.

Tesla had a near-death experience in 2008.

Tesla is worth $57 billion now, but back in late 2008, it was precariously worth almost zero. Only a late convertible-debt financing round of $40 million kept the lights on — Tesla had less than $10 million in cash on hand at the time. 

Once the company stabilized the finances, it would sell equity to both Daimler and Toyota — both of who sold off their stakes several years after Tesla's IPO, for tidy profits once the company's stock skyrocketed in 2013.

Even with the near-death experience of 2008, the financial crisis in 2009, and the fact that Tesla was only selling one car at the time — its original Roadster — expectations for a public offering ran high until Tesla pulled the trigger in 2010.

In truth, Tesla's IPO was hardly a blockbuster. Tesla raised $226 million, with shares offered at $17. The stock languished for a while, but it never completely tanked. It was the first indication that Tesla might be bulletproof.

The Model X SUV arrived 3 years late.

The Model X SUV was revealed in Los Angeles in 2012, at about the same time Tesla was beginning to sell the Model X sedan.

Tesla had always proposed that it would be a multi-car company, and the logic of Model X was irrefutable: even as early as 2012, the SUV market in the US was recovering. Luxury SUVs were particularly lucrative.

But the Model X endured a rough birth — CEO Elon Musk would ultimately conclude that the design, with its exotic falcon wing doors, was so complicated that Tesla shouldn't have built the car. After numerous delays, it finally launched in late 2015.

But the problems were just beginning. By Musk's admission, the vehicle was so difficult to assemble that for the first six months of 2016, Tesla was in "production hell."

Again, the market was patient. Tesla shares were up and down in 2015 and 2016, but they never totally collapsed. And Tesla was able to return to the public markets several times to raise capital.

The company missed on delivery guidance in 2014 ... and 2015 ... and 2016.

Tesla provides guidance on deliveries — effectively, vehicle sales — but while it hasn't wildly missed on the numbers, it's never made good on them, either.

In the company's defense, deliveries have risen over the years: just under 35,000 in 2014, about 50,000 in 2015, and about 75,000 in 2016. Those are big jumps, and production has always outpaced sales. The company will likely max out manufacturing at its existing factory in 2017 for the Models S and X.

But just to put this in context, while monthly and annual sales are monitored for other automakers, it's rarely a nail-biting affair. Ford will probably sell nearly a million F-Series pickups in 2017, and nobody is monitoring the carmaker's progress all that closely, worrying every detail. It's just assumed that Ford will both build and sell the vehicles.

The bottom line is that Tesla has always struggled with this fundamental. The risk with all other automakers is that they'll make too many vehicles and be stuck with unsold inventory. Tesla hasn't yet manifested that concern. 

So the safe bet is that the company will always overpromise and under deliver. And in fact that's what markets have done, sometimes dinging Tesla for weak deliveries or biffing guidance but never obliterating the stock.

• The Apartment by The Line is a high-end home and fashion retail space in SoHo, Manhattan that's set up like a real home.
• It's created by Assembled Brands which was founded by Adam Pritzker, who also co-founded General Assembly.
• Assembled Brands aims to help small companies within the home, fashion, and beauty space by providing various business services.

Inside a third-floor SoHo loft sits a $12,000 velvet couch, a $28,000 hanging black and white Henri Cartier-Bresson print photograph, two $4,000 chairs, and everything else that makes for a cozy yet chic home. It's a beautiful living room, and it's all for sale.

The store, which is called The Apartment by The Line, was created and carefully curated by the team behind Assembled Brands, founder and CEO Adam Pritzker, along with Creative Director Vanessa Traina.

Pritzker and Traina started Assembled Brands in 2013 and describe it as a modern holding company. Basically, they provide various business services to small companies within the home, fashion, and beauty space. But before they worked with other brands, they started three of their own: The Line, Protagonist, and Tenfold.

By developing, manufacturing, marketing, and ultimately creating a storefront for their own lines, Pritzker and Traina were able to identify the problem spots and difficulties that other small companies were experiencing within the retail industry.

"What draws brands to [Assembled Brands is] that we have operating experience. We built these services out of the pain of operating these businesses ourselves — across both online and offline environments," Pritzker told Business Insider. Traina echoed Pritzker's sentiments: "Starting our own brand and opening our own store informed us on such a different level," she said.

Together, the two are aiming to help what Pritzker identified as an "underserved" industry, by lowering operating costs and increasing distribution for these smaller companies creating products. Brands that are clients of Assembled Brands are a part of what they call "The Alliance."

Below, a look The Apartment by The Line and the operation team behind it: Assembled Brands.

The Apartment by The Line is located in the neighborhood of SoHo in Manhattan, on a third floor. "We found this third floor space, which is a better deal in terms of real estate, and wanted it to feel authentic," Traina told Business Insider.

Upon entry, the customer feels as if they're in someone's home complete with a massive closet, kitchen, living room, and bedroom.

There's a sense of voyeurism while walking through the space that's unlike a normal retail store.

The US Navy announced on Wednesday that the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier had left the Middle East, where it was conducting operations against ISIS, and heading to the Pacific on a previously scheduled visit.

The Nimitz will join two other US aircraft carriers, the USS Ronald Reagan and the USS Theodore Roosevelt, amid ongoing tensions with North Korea.

North Korea has not test launched a missile in over a month, but has continued its threats on Guam and even threatened to detonate a nuclear weapon above ground last week.

Here's what the three carriers are bringing to the Pacific.

The USS Nimitz, USS Roosevelt, and USS Reagan are all Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.

The Nimitz, which is the US's oldest aircraft carrier, was commissioned in 1975, while the Roosevelt was commissioned in 1986 and the Reagan in 2003.

Each carrier is about 1,092 feet long, 252 feet wide, and 134 feet from waterline to flight deck.

Each carrier has two nuclear reactors that power four steam turbines and shafts that bring the carriers to speeds of more than 34 mph.

An easy way for me to see whether or not I like a device is whether I use it all the time. 

The Pixelbook is Google's new Chromebook that runs Chrome OS, and I'm not usually a fan of Chromebooks. However, I found myself using the Pixelbook more than my 2016 MacBook Pro during my testing. 

I was surprised that I liked it so much. I genuinely love this device. 

But that's largely because I was using a review unit, and I didn't shell out for its $1,000 price tag. Once I considered the Pixelbook's asking price, I realized that no matter how much I love the Pixelbook, it's not for everyone. 

Check out the Pixelbook:

I love almost everything about Google's new Pixelbook, which is surprising because I'm not usually a fan of Chromebooks.

The metal design is beautiful, and I love the glass inlay that reminds me of Google's Pixel phones.

It's incredibly light and portable.

The Pixebook is only 10.3mm thick, which is pretty slim. It's also incredibly light at 2.4 pounds. Combined with its thin design and light weight, the Pixelbook is a veritable portable device.

• Lassonde Studios at the University of Utah is a building where 400 students live, sleep, and work on their startup ideas.

• It's the headquarters of the Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute, the school's undergraduate entrepreneurship program.

• Executive director Troy D'Ambrosio told Business Insider 1,400 students applied to live in the building, which houses 400.

What if you could live, eat, sleep, and build your startup from scratch, all in one spot?

That's just reality for students living and working in Lassonde Studios at the University of Utah. Not only does the building house 400 students, it's a space for people on campus to pursue their entrepreneurial interests.

It boasts free 3D printers, vending machines filled with tools, and plenty of room for students to work on their fledgling businesses and side hustles.

Business Insider spoke with CannonDesign board member and principal Lynne Deninger and design principal Mehrdad Yazdani — who designed the building — as well as Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute executive director Troy D'Ambrosio and University of Utah junior and Lassonde resident JoCee Porter to get a better sense of what it's like there.

Here's a look inside the multi-faceted building:

Many people like Airbnb for its homey rentals and affordable prices. The listing at 1409 Sutter Street in San Francisco is not for most people.

Built in 1881, The Payne Mansion has the distinction of being the most expensive Airbnb listing in the city. The Victorian mansion (and registered historic landmark) has 10 bedrooms, eight baths, two event spaces, and a bar, and costs $10,000 a night, plus a $1,500 cleaning fee.

The mansion has operated as a full-service hotel since 2014, but the owners listed the property on Airbnb to attract more business. You can rent a room, the penthouse, or the whole building.

The humble chicken tender — or chicken fingers, in some circles — is making a comeback. 

Chicken tenders are the most glorious incarnation of handheld fried chicken — heftier than nuggets, simpler than wings, ideologically purer than boneless wings. The adoration for chicken tenders is universal, bridging the spans of age and class alike — the great equalizers, so they say, are death, taxes, and tenders. With McDonald’s resurrecting them on their menu and Wendy’s introducing theirs, the time for tenders has come. 

A handful of major fast-food chains offer tenders, and we decided to put them all to the test to see which con-tender (sorry) reaches the top of the tourney.

SEE ALSO: We visited the 'McDonald's of Russia' that's trying to take over America — here's what it was like

We have six chains duking it out: Chick-fil-A, Dairy Queen, KFC, McDonald's, Popeyes, and Wendy's.

That's a lot of chicken.

6. Dairy Queen

We all knew someone had to come last, and to be honest, most knew it was going to be Dairy Queen.

Are they terribly awful? No. But Dairy Queen's roots lie in, well, dairy, and it's what they do best. We all love a Blizzard — but DQ's food is often lacking, both in quality and direction. Their tenders have some crunch from their thick breading, but it overpowers the chicken.

It’s strangely doughy in taste, and the entire tender is meek — and it’s definitely not inheriting the earth. At best they're slightly better than expectations, but blandly mediocre nonetheless. 

After numerous sexual assault and harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein, similar accusations against multiple famous and powerful men have surfaced.

Women and men have become emboldened by the voices of Weinstein's accusers, and are now coming forward with allegations of sexual misconduct, in what is being referred to as the "Weinstein ripple effect." 

Here is a list of men who have been accused of sexual misconduct since the Weinstein allegations broke:

Ben Affleck

Actress Hilarie Burton accused Ben Affleck of groping her breast during a 2003 interview.

Burton tweeted a video of the alleged groping and wrote, "Girls. I'm so impressed with you brave ones. I had to laugh back then so I wouldn't cry. Sending love."

Affleck quickly tweeted an apology to Burton, saying he had "acted inappropriately."

Makeup artist Annamarie Tendler also accused Affleck of groping her, during a Golden Globes party in 2014 (in a tweet).

Affleck has yet to respond to Tendler's tweet.

A representative for Ben Affleck declined Business Insider's request to comment.

Roy Price

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Isa Hackett alleged that former head of Amazon Studios Roy Price sexually harassed her while they were promoting the series "The Man in the High Castle" in 2015. 

Hackett is author Philip K. Dick's daughter, and worked as an executive producer on the series based on her father's book. 

Hackett said she met Price on July 10, 2015, at San Diego's Comic-Con to promote the series with him, and that he invited her to an Amazon staff party that evening. She and Price shared a cab to the party, where Hackett said that Price told her, "You will love my d--k." 

According to Hackett, she declined Price's advances, but his inappropriate behavior persisted throughout the evening, and at one point Hackett said he whispered the words "a--l sex" into her ear.

Hackett said she reported Price's behavior to Amazon immediately.

After The Hollywood Reporter's article was published, Amazon suspended Price indefinitely, and soon after Price resigned from his position at Amazon.

Price has yet to address the allegations against him, or his resignation.

Bob Weinstein

Amanda Segel, the former executive producer of "The Mist" series, accused Bob Weinstein of consistently making unwanted advances on her, in an interview with Variety.

"The Mist" was being produced by The Weinstein Company, and while working on the project with Weinstein, Segel said he continued to ask her out to dinner, despite her repeatedly telling him she was uninterested in a romantic relationship. Segal said that his advances only stopped once she told The Weinstein Company that she would leave "The Mist" if his behavior continued.

“‘No’ should be enough,” Segel said. “After ‘no,’ anybody who has asked you out should just move on. Bob kept referring to me that he wanted to have a friendship. He didn’t want a friendship. He wanted more than that. My hope is that ‘no’ is enough from now on.”

Weinstein's lawyer Ben Fields released a statement to Variety denying Segel's allegations.

“There is no way in the world that Bob Weinstein is guilty of sexual harassment, and even if you believed what this person asserts there is no way it would amount to that,” Fields said.

Bob Weinstein did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

• There's been little progress on major gun control legislation introduced into Congress since the deadly massacre in Las Vegas earlier this month. 
• The push to ban bump stocks, implement tougher background checks, and enforce smart gun technology have all fallen by the wayside. 
• A majority of voters support stricter gun laws, but there's a lack of bipartisan support in Congress. 

A little more than three weeks after a gunman killed 58 people at a concert in Las Vegas, gun control advocates are still pushing for legislation to help prevent future massacres, but most of the legislation has already stalled in Congress. 

After it was revealed that the Las Vegas shooter used bump stocks to increase how fast he could shoot, there seemed to be wide bipartisan support for regulating accessories that turn semi-automatic weapons into fully-automatic ones. Even the National Rifle Association, a staunch pro-gun lobby, said it was willing to consider regulating bump stocks. 

As with many gun control pushes, the effort has already fallen by the wayside despite the support.

A Politico poll released in October found that 64% of voters support stricter gun laws, but wide disparities exist between Republicans and Democrats.  83% of Democrats support stricter laws whereas 49% of Republican voters support them. 

Here are all other bills introduced since the Las Vegas shooting that have fizzled out in Congress:

Three days after the Las Vegas shooting, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California introduced the Automatic Gunfire Prevention Act to ban accessories like bump stocks that increase a semi-automatic rifle's rate of fire. 

“Automatic weapons have been illegal for more than 30 years, but there’s a loophole in the law that can be exploited to allow killers to fire at rates of between 400 and 800 rounds-per-minute,"Feinstein said. 

Some Republicans also said they were open to the idea of regulating bump stocks in the wake of the mass shooting.

Smart gun technology, which provides safety features that would limit unauthorized use of firearms, has been on the rise in recent years. A few days after the Las Vegas massacre, Sen. Edward Markey of Massachusetts reintroduced the Handgun Trigger Safety Act.

More specifically, the bill would authorize grants to develop handgun technology and mandate that, within five years, all newly manufactured guns be used by only authorized users.  

"We have technology that requires a fingerprint to operate an iPhone; we should do the same for a handgun. Smart gun technology is smart gun safety policy,"Markey said. 

Previous versions of the bill failed in Congress. 

October 5: Democrats target the 'Charleston loophole'

Another post-Las Vegas bill, introduced by Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina in the House and Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut in the Senate, aims to close the so-called "Charleston loophole" or "delayed denial."

This loophole, named after the shooting where a man killed nine black parishioners at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015, allows authorized dealers to transfer guns to a buyer after three business days if a background check is inconclusive by that time. 

The shooter, Dylann Roof, had been charged with felony possession of a narcotic prescription drugs prior to the shooting. Those charges were pending at the time of the massacre, but Roof was able to get a gun anyway through a private transaction with his father. 

The Background Check Completion Act would prohibit dealers, even private ones, from transferring a firearm at any time before a background check is completed. The bill is currently held up in the Senate and House Judiciaries. 

Winter is right around the corner.

While there are plenty of options for affordable ski getaways in the US and Canada, sometimes you just need to splurge.

HomeToGo, a vacation rental search tool, has compiled a list of the most expensive ski resorts in North America, so you can plan a mountain weekend in the lap of luxury.

They gathered data for the 35 top-rated ski resorts in the US and Canada, and then estimated the average total cost of a one day/night stay. The final cost includes:

• Equipment rental: skis, boots, poles, and a helmet for one day.
• A one-day lift pass.
• Lunch: a burger with fries and a soda at a restaurant on the slopes.
• Accommodation: the average price per person for a four-person vacation rental found on HomeToGo in the ski resort, between December 16, 2017 and April 15, 2018.

When prices were unavailable from the resorts, HomeToGo based price forecasts for this winter on last season's prices.

Below, check out 16 of the most luxurious ski resorts in North America where a day of skiing plus an overnight stay costs between $250 and $486.

As television revenue increases for conferences and the NCAA, and demand increases for schools to compete for national championships, salaries for the head coaches are skyrocketing.

This year we have a new highest-paid coach in college football as Nick Saban has taken the top spot back from Jim Harbaugh.

1. Vera Wang, fashion designer

You probably know the name Vera Wang even if you don't own any of her products. She's one of the most famous and lucrative fashion designers working today. But, she did not start out as a budding fashion designer in her 20s. In fact, she was a skilled figure skater who started the sport at just eight years old.

In 1968, Wang competed at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships and was featured in Sports Illustrated. But when she failed to make the U.S. Olympics team, she turned her attention to fashion. After graduating from Sarah Lawrence, Wang was hired as an editor at Vogue, where she worked for 17 years. In 1987, she joined Ralph Lauren, and her brief stint there gave her the drive to go out into the fashion world on her own. Two years later, at the age of 40, she designed her first wedding gown.

Since then, Wang has made gowns for a litany of famous people and her career has exploded. Vera Wang is now a household name and she has a net worth of $420 million.

2. Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company

Who doesn't know Henry Ford? He is often considered the father of the modern automobile, having created an assembly line technique that revolutionized the auto industry. And while he didn't actually invent the car, or the assembly line for that matter, he did combine the two to make automobiles affordable for American families. However, this revelation did not come to him early in his career.

After a series of experiments in his free time, Ford built a fully-functioning vehicle in 1898 at the age of 35. This eventually led to a partnership with Alexander Malcomson and a contract with the Dodge brothers. On June 16 1903, with $28,000 in capital, the Ford Motor Company was born. Five years later, in 1908, the Ford Model T was introduced to America. At a price of $825 (around $22,000 today), it was very affordable.

Just 10 years later, when Ford was 55, half the cars in America were Model T's. The business had exploded, and he continued to build his empire. Ford was president of the company he had built well into his late seventies, and when he died in 1947 at age 83, he had a net worth of what would have been almost $200 billion in today's dollars, adjusted for inflation. That made him the richest man in the world by a long, long way.

3. Ray Kroc, president of McDonald's

Recently immortalized in the movie The Founder, Ray Kroc is the man responsible for creating the McDonald's company as you know it today.

At the age of 53, well into what many would consider the twilight years of their career, Kroc was selling milkshake mixers door-to-door. It was not a thriving business. However, when he discovered that brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald had purchased eight of his multi-mixers for their burger joint, he had to see the restaurant for himself. And what he saw changed his life.

Kroc convinced the brothers to franchise their store and eventually bought them out for just $1 million each; a pittance considering the value of McDonald's today. Kroc innovated the chain restaurant, the real estate process that drives the McDonald's empire, and rolled out inventions like the Chicken McNugget and the Happy Meal. When he passed away in 1984, he had a net worth of over $600 million.

The NFL is nearing the mid-season point, and it feels as though it's time to start accepting some realities of this season.

For instance, a few teams that were expected to be bad, and at times have looked bad, like the Bills, Rams, and Dolphins, are several games over .500.  On the other hand, some teams we expected to play well have faltered and may not be able to recover. 

Meanwhile, there is a lot to still be decided, as five teams have .500 records while a few potential heavyweights, like the Raiders and Ravens, are at 3-4 and trying to stay alive in the playoff hunt.

Take a look at where each team stands as we head into Week 8.

32. Cleveland Browns

Record: 0-7

Last week: Lost to the Titans, 13-9

This week: vs. Minnesota Vikings

One thing to know: The Browns are sticking with DeShone Kizer at quarterback in Week 8, despite now owning a 3-to-11 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Each passing day, the decision to pass on Carson Wentz must look worse in Cleveland.

31. San Francisco 49ers

Record: 0-7

Last week: Lost to the Cowboys 40-10

This week: at Philadelphia Eagles

One thing to know: The Niners' streak of close losses came to an end on Sunday with a walloping at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys. Things aren't likely to get easier as San Francisco continues the hunt for its first win and now travel to Philadelphia to play the surging Eagles.

30. New York Giants

Record: 1-6

Last week: Lost to the Seahawks, 24-7

This week: Bye

One thing to know: Giants GM Jerry Reese took blame for his team's struggles after falling to 1-6, saying: "This is the roster that I put together. I'm the reason we're 1-6."

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the entire second season of "Stranger Things."

"Stranger Things 2" is now streaming on Netflix, and we've parsed through every scene to find the biggest callbacks to season one or revelations hidden in the corners of sets or spelled out through dialogue. For this roundup, we're looking at important moments within the "Stranger Things" universe itself, and leaving all the references to 80s movies and pop culture for another time. 

Keep scrolling for a look at 11 details you might have overlooked on the second season of "Stranger Things."

Lucas teased Dustin about not getting the princess when he played "Dragon's Lair," foreshadowing how Lucas would wind up with Max by the end of the season.

"You're just not nimble enough," Lucas said. "You'll get there one day, but until then Princess Daphne is still mine."

The rest of the season played out a small love triangle between Dustin, Lucas, and Max, but Dustin was left alone and without a love interest by the end of the season. He'll get there one day, right?

It was ironic to hear Murray Bauman say he thought Eleven was a Russian child, since Eleven was being used by Hawkins Lab to spy on Russians.

On the opening episode of the second season, Bauman harasses Chief Jim Hopper about his theory involving a Russian child (Eleven) and an elaborate conspiracy with international consequences. 

Bauman had pieces of the story correct, but the things he got wrong were telling.

The Russians are mentioned by various characters, but often as a vague allusion to the Cold War, but no one knows how they connect to Hawkins Lab.

No one seems to realize Dr. Brenner and Hawkins lab seemed to first plan on using Eleven to spy on Russians by showing her their picture and having her listen to them with her powers. Eleven herself is likely unaware of what her temporary involvement in the Cold War was, given how limited her understanding of the world is.
