• SLEEEP is Hong Kong's first capsule hotel, a concept invented in Japan in the late 1970s that aims to provide cheap, convenient "sleeping pods" for travelers who do not require the services of a full hotel.
• I stayed at SLEEEP on a recent business trip to Hong Kong.
• SLEEEP is ideally located and well-designed aesthetically, but its capsules get hot quickly and do not block out sound, making for a poor night of sleep.

It sounds great on paper — a budget hotel completely designed around getting you the best night of sleep. That's the idea behind SLEEEP, Hong Kong's first capsule hotel.

The reality, however, isn't quite so relaxing.

Located in Sheung Wan, a neighborhood on Hong Kong island near the main business district, SLEEEP caters to solo tourists, overworked Hong Kongers, and harried business travelers by offering them "a breathing space within a suffocating environment," in the words of Jun Rivers, who co-founded the hotel with childhood friend Alex Klot.

"We truly believe that high-quality, sufficient sleep can take us further in both our personal and professional lives," Rivers told Lifestyle Asia last year, shortly after it opened.

While it is ideally located and designed with an Apple-esque eye for minimalist design — it won silver for Design for Asia Awards 2017 — the hotel fails at its most basic purpose.

I stayed at SLEEEP on a recent business trip to Hong Kong. After a long couple of days reporting in Macau, I arrived at the hotel excited for an excellent night of sleep. Instead I found myself overheated, woken multiple times, and altogether turned off by the entire concept.

SLEEEP is located between Queen's Road Central and Gough Street, two winding roads in the Sheung Wan neighborhood of Hong Kong. There's a staircase halfway down the street. Walk up it to find SLEEEP.

It feels a little like looking for a secret passageway. When you start to see the cheeky messages related to sleep, you'll know you found it.

One of the best things about the hotel is how streamlined the experience is. There are no receptionists or keycards. You just walk up to the touchpad outside the door.

• "Micro-habits" are small, everyday habits that can have a positive impact on your finances in the long-run. 
• Listening to an informative podcast or reading a book each day can relax your mind and can be a good way to learn more about saving and finance.
• A simple way to become better with money is to say "no" to things that are unnecessary and will have a negative impact on your bank balance.

Daily habits lay the foundation for short-and-long-term success with our health, wealth, and happiness, so it's critical to carefully examine our repetitive behaviors and thought patterns. They're either moving you closer to your goals or further away from them.

I'll admit that breaking old habits and forming new, beneficial ones isn't easy. But one way to create more financial success is to begin layering simple micro habits into your routine that require minimal effort and motivation to complete.

You already have many tiny daily habits, such as brushing your teeth or taking vitamins. Any small step that allows you to stop a negative habit or start a positive one is a micro habit.

They take up little time, but can build up to huge, significant results when you make them part of your routine.

7 micro habits that create financial success:

1. Listening to 15 minutes of audio.
2. Reading one page of a book.
3. Going to bed 30 minutes earlier.
4. Buying quality instead of quantity.
5. Setting a spending waiting period.
6. Automating your savings.
7. Saying "no" more often.

Here's how to use these seven micro habits to create more professional and personal financial success.

1. Listening to 15 minutes of audio

Everyone has 15 minutes of daily downtime, such as when you get dressed, shave, put on makeup, fold clothes, take a lunch break, or commute. That's the perfect opportunity to listen to a great podcast or audiobook that improves your life.

No matter if you're an employee or have a business or side gig, find audio content about your industry so you can stay up-to-date. Or seek topics like customer service, e-commerce, or marketing to find more customers and serve clients at a higher level. Choose anything you want to start doing better and find expert content that moves you forward with information and motivation.

When you surround yourself with positive information, it's easier to stay informed and inspired. You never know where the information may take you.

The beauty of podcasts and audiobooks is that you can consume portions when you have small windows of time and then pick up where you left off. Start by listening to something new that interests you for just 15 minutes and see how you can incorporate it into your day on a regular basis.

When you surround yourself with positive information, it's easier to stay informed and inspired. You never know where the information may take you. Listening is a fun way to make small, incremental life changes that make you a little bit better every day.

2. Reading one page of a book

With so much digital and social media fighting for our attention, making time to read physical books can seem daunting. But reading the old-fashioned way has so many benefits that you don't get from reading on a device.

Research suggests that reading electronic text can slow you down by 20% to 30% compared to the speed you read a real book. Feeling the paper and flipping pages creates a deeper sensory experience that helps reading comprehension and remembering what you read.

Create a micro habit to read just one book page a day. While this might seem like a ridiculously tiny goal, that's the point. If you read one page, it's likely that you'll read several  — but it's okay if you don't. Taking a long time to read a book is better than not reading one at all.

Build this micro habit into your early morning or nighttime routine. I love snuggling up with a good book to relax before going to sleep. Getting engrossed in a great book can help you learn, reduce stress, and be a signal to your brain that it's time to wind down.

Consider alternating between fiction and nonfiction to round out your reading. To improve your finances, here are five book recommendations:

• 'The Truth About Money' by Ric Edelman
• 'Pogue's Basics: Money: Essential Tips and Shortcuts (That No One Bothers to Tell You) About Beating the System' by David Pogue
• 'Multiple Streams of Income: How to Generate a Lifetime of Unlimited Wealth!' by Robert G. Allen
• 'The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy' by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko
• 'Money Girl's Smart Moves to Grow Rich' by Laura D. Adams

3. Going to bed 30 minutes earlier

Your health lays the foundation for what you can achieve with your money and life. If you're not taking care of your body, your mind will also suffer. In addition to maintaining a good diet and regular exercise, try going to bed 30 minutes earlier.

That extra time might allow you to read a book before drifting off or get a better night's sleep. I love watching TV with my husband after dinner, but I try to set a limit of one hour or two. As fun as it can be to stay up late watching your favorite TV shows, it's probably not helping you achieve your goals.

Instead, begin your bedtime routine a little earlier so you can wake up feeling recharged, focused, and able to accomplish more. You only have one life, so don't make a habit of wasting time.

TripAdvisor has revealed the winners of its 2018 Travellers' Choice Awards for Airlines — and some of the results are pretty surprising.

The winners were chosen based on airline reviews submitted on TripAdvisor Flights or via one of TripAdvisor’s review collection partners from February 2017 to February 2018. It took both quantity and quality of reviews into account.

While Asia holds the highest number of winners in the 10 best airlines in the world, one UK airline made the list — and it wasn't British Airways.

Scroll down to see the 10 best airlines on the planet, as chosen by travellers, ranked in ascending order.

SEE ALSO: Here's what it's like to fly first class on Singapore Airlines, one of the best airlines in the world

10. Korean Air, South Korea.

One TripAdvisor reviewer said: "We travelled from Chicago to Hong Kong with our toddler, and could not have been more pleased with the experience. Basic economy on KA is basically economy plus on other (especially US-based) airlines. The flight staff actually made me like the experience, rather than detract from it. I’ll be flying KA whenever possible in the future."

9. Azul, Brazil.

"Azul is a lovely airline, employing a fleet of Embraer regional jets offering 2 + 2 seating," according to one user. "Service is efficient and you always get a package of 'aviõezinhos' (airplane shaped gummy bears) to chew on the short domestic hops."

8. Qatar Airways.

One reviewer who claims to be a frequent traveller said: "Qatar is one of my favourite airlines to travel with. The bar in a380 (business class) is the best. The service regardless of class is fab. The treatment of frequent fliers is great... food very tasty for economy ... and very big portions… Entertainment is top notch. They are one of my favourite airlines for eco travel."

The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you'll like. Business Insider has affiliate partnerships, so we get a share of the revenue from your purchase.

The Insider Pick:

• Hand washing is the single best way to prevent the spread of viral illnesses like colds and the flu, and it's the best way to keep bacteria from entering your body. With the right hand soap, washing your hands will also be a pleasure. Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash is our top pick because it leaves hands supple, smooth, and clean and because its scent is simply unmatched.

When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention talk about hand washing, it doesn't pull any punches. The CDC website bluntly states that "hand washing saves lives," calling good hand hygiene "like a do-it-yourself vaccine" against myriad ailments. Hand washing prior to medical procedures or examinations is mandatory in all hospitals, clinics, and doctor's offices in the developed world (with thanks to the work of 19th Century Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis, the man credited as the pioneer of antiseptic hand washing), and is the stated employee policy of millions of restaurants, factories, offices, and more. Your parents probably made it the policy of the household when you were growing up, too.

Let's cut to the chase: You know hand washing is important. You need to do it before meals, after using the bathroom, following contact with anyone who might have been ill, and so forth. Assuming that you're already dedicated to hand hygiene, do you have a hand soap brand to which you're also committed? While any decent hand soap will kill off most of the germs on your skin, that's where the similarities often end.

Some hand soaps leave behind delightful aromas while others are almost scent-free. Some are moisturizing and soothing while others are aggressive in their slaughter of bacteria and viruses. And some hand soaps are quite low in price while others are surprisingly expensive.

We have soaps covering all those bases and more in our list, so you'll surely find a hand soap you'll love to use before meals, after lavatory ablutions, and at all those other times when you really should be cleaning your hands.

Read on in the slides below to learn why the Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash is our top pick and why the Softsoap Coconut and Warm Ginger Liquid Hand Soap, the Jergens Extra Moisturizing Cherry-Almond Hand Wash, the Dial Original Gold Antimicrobial Soap, the Method Foaming Lemon Mint Hand Soap, and the Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Basil Scented Hand Soap.

The best hand soap overall

Why you'll love it: Using Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash leaves hands feeling moisturized and supple but genuinely imparts nutrients into the skin.

Alright, let's address the elephant in the room right away: Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash is crazy expensive. It sells for about $76 a bottle, in fact. But one 18-ounce bottle (OK 17.99 ounces, which equals 500 milliliters) will last a single user for many weeks or even months depending on the frequency of use.

The rich, potent, but never cloying aroma of this soap, a scent blending mandarin orange, rosemary, and cedar, will delight you every time you smell it. As for how your hands will feel after washing with this pricey elixir? A buyer named Rhian says she wishes she wasn't "addicted to [this] beautiful product... [that] lathers and cleans" so well she has bought it "again and again."

Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash is formulated with skin-suppling ingredients that can rejuvenate hands dried out by climate, work, or age, leaving skin feeling better and better the more often it's used. And again, that scent.

One buyer calls it a "heavenly aroma" while another said it "smells heavenly." Another was a bit less celestial, with her down-to-earth review calling the stuff simply the "greatest ever."

A writer with InStyle said Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash smells "divine" and "makes your hands soft and smooth."

Pros: Wonderful scent, nourishing formula, handsome bottle design

Cons: Very expensive

The best low-cost hand soap

Why you'll love it: Softsoap Coconut and Warm Ginger Liquid Hand Soap smells good and cleans well and that's all great, but what really counts here is the low price.

The first thing you'll notice about a bottle of Softsoap Coconut and Warm Ginger Liquid Hand Soap is that it's larger than most other hand soap dispensers. While a common size is 7.5 ounces, these bottles hold 11.25 fluid ounces of soap. Second, you'll notice that when you order a six-pack of these soaps, you pay about three bucks per unit, a common price for pre-filled soap dispensers. So do the math, and you'll realize that you're effectively getting 22.5 ounces of soap free thanks to the large bottle size.

In case that was confusing, let me be clear: This is cheap hand soap. But it's cheap in price only. Softsoap is trusted by families, schools, offices, and other locations all around America not only because of its price but also because it works well. That claim is backed up by dermatologist testing.

As for the sweet coconut and warm ginger aroma, some people find it a bit too intense, but most people love it. I know I do — I've used this stuff countless times.

And so have lots of other people, based on its reviews. Softsoap Coconut and Warm Ginger Liquid Hand Soap scores a shining 4.6-star average rating on Amazon, with one buyer praising its "great scent" and calling it a family favorite. Another attests that it can "even wash away the scent of onions and fish off of your hands."

Pros: Low price, does not leave residue, trusted brand

Cons: Scent too cloying for some people

The best moisturizing hand soap

Why you'll love it: Every time you use Jergens Extra Moisturizing Cherry-Almond Hand Wash, your hands will enjoy the cleanliness and moisturizing you get from this soap.

I'm not a huge fan of lotions, to be honest. In fact, I kind of hate the way creams feel on my hands, and I avoid using them as much as possible. But I'm also no fan of dry skin. Thus you can imagine my pleasant surprise when my wife introduced me to Jergens Extra Moisturizing Cherry-Almond Hand Wash. And by "introduced" I mean that's the stuff that happened to be in her bathroom all those years back when we were dating.

This stuff is hand soap first and foremost: It cleans the grease or grime or pen or whatnot off your hands and kills off germs in the process. But it is infused with Jergens moisturizing lotion and leaves your hands feeling supple and nourished, yet without that vaguely oily, clammy feeling that lotion leaves behind when used on its own.

So whether you hate applying lotion to your hands after a washing or if you don't much mind it but would just as soon save time and make cleaning and moisturizing a one-step process, this stuff a great go to.

At the time of writing, Jergens Extra Moisturizing Cherry-Almond Hand Wash has a stellar 4.7-star rating on Amazon. One customer says using this her previously dry "hands have completely recovered" thanks to this product, while many echo the sentiments of another user who says she "loves the smell."

Truth be told, I'm not a fan of the scent, but I love the hydrated skin without the need for lotion application.

Pros: Highly moisturizing, gentle cleansing, good price point

Cons: Smell off-putting to some

Warning: There are spoilers ahead for Sunday's episode of AMC's "The Walking Dead,""Worth."

Dwight and Simon faced the music on Sunday's "The Walking Dead" when their betrayals became clear to Negan and another one of Carl's letters was revealed.

But the biggest reveal had larger implications for another community we met on season six. Keep reading to see a few callbacks you may have overlooked.

Carl's letter to his father mentions that he wants him to take Judith on walks around a neighborhood like they used to do.

"You told me about the walks we'd take when I was three … Holding your hand, I felt happy and special and I felt safe," Carl wrote. "Start everything over. Show everyone that they can be safe again without killing. They can feel safe again ... Make that come back, dad. And go on those walks with Judith. She'll remember them."

You can read Carl's full letter to his father here.

We've already seen a vision of Carl's greatest wish.

Season eight has showed us glimpses Carl's vision for the future where Rick and Negan will be at peace right alongside the likes of Jerry and Eugene. Most important is that Rick was taking Judith on a walk to visit everyone around Alexandria.

This is what Carl was talking about.

It wasn't just the audience who heard Carl's voice reading his letter to Rick.

According to "Talking Dead," Andrew Lincoln was also able to listen to Carl (Chandler Rigg). While filming the scene, the actor wore an earbud so he could hear Riggs reading the letter. 

It probably helped to make the scene more authentic.

• The RAM full-size pickup is the perennial third-best-seller in the US, behind the FordF-150 and the Chevy Silverado.
• We spent a week with a well-appointed version of the truck.
• And we were mighty impressed with the RAM.

We certainly live in a Golden Age for luxury pickup trucks, which are becoming America's latest obsession. Detroit can't sell enough of them. In the first two months of 2018, Ford has already moved 127,000 F-150s. And everything truly is better. That gas-chugging V8 on a '78 Chevy would give you just about 160 horsepower, while a modern V8-motored pickup will top 400hp with better fuel economy. It's also hooked up to the internet, is far more reliable, and can be had with all manner of luxurious appointments. 

Ford has revamped its segment-leading F-Series pickups, and now both Chevy/GMC and Fiat Chrysler's RAM have followed suit. For old time's sake, however, we jumped at the chance to sample the outgoing RAM 1500 when the carmaker flipped us the keys to a well-optioned $63,870 2018 Limited Crew Car 4x4 version of the third-best selling pickup in the USA (over half a million units in 2017).

Here's how it went.

FOLLOW US: On Facebook for more car and transportation content!

The RAM 1500 Limited Crew Cab 4X4 has a base price of $53,595, which is a lot higher than the stripped-down $27,000 no-frills trim level. Our "Maximum Steel Metallic" tester stickered at $63,870.

The RAM 1500 is a full-size pickup — the heart of the pickup market. These trucks have to be able to do it all, from hauling stuff to towing stuff to driving people around.

RAM pickups have a more aggressive, semi-truck-like appearance than the competition. It isn't for everybody — but we thought it make our tester look pretty imposing.

That's a "Tungsten Chrome" grille, by the way. Which means it isn't shiny chrome. And it looks pretty fantastic.

It all started with a simple question: "Do snakes fart?"

Dani Rabaiotti had no idea. But the zoologist and University College London PhD student knew she could probably tap her scientist friends on Twitter and find an answer to her brother's simple query. So she asked snake expert David Steen what he thought. 

But the smelly questions didn't end there. What about fish? Cheetahs? And dinosaurs?

Soon, the hashtag #doesitfart? was born.

Now Rabaiotti, along with another animal expert, Nick Caruso from Virginia Tech, have compiled their answers into a book that answers the question"does it fart?" for more than 80 different animals, including humans and dinosaurs.

"The farts basically brought us together," Caruso said. 

Here are a few of our favorite flatulence questions, as answered by the new book:

Seals and sea lions may be some of the smelliest gas emitters out there.

"Having been near seals and sea lions on field work before, I can confirm they are absolutely vile," Rabaiotti told Business Insider. 

Bolson Pupfish have to fart, because if they don't they'll explode. Or they might float to the surface of their ponds and get eaten by a predator. Not ideal.

The Bolson pupfish (Cyprinodon atrorus) is a species of fish that lives in the pools of this northern Mexican reserve. If they don't fart regularly, the gas that builds up in their system can make them burst. 

The authors said that around 300 of these little fish have been found dead from not farting. "It really is a case of fart or die," they wrote. 

That's not true for all fish, though.

Goldfish don't usually fart, even though they do have some gas-making bacteria in their guts. 

"It is far more common to see them burp out gas than pass it through their anal duct," the authors said, warning that if your goldfish is farting, it's probably having some serious digestive issues.

• Brad Pitt is reportedly spending time with MIT Media Lab professor Neri Oxman — though the relationship isn't romantic.

• Oxman was born in Israel, coined the term and pioneered the field of "material ecology," and has her work featured in museums across the globe.

Universal heartthrob Brad Pitt has a new friend — and it's someone who works thousands of miles from Hollywood.

Neri Oxman is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a pioneer in her field ("material ecology"— heard of it?).

Page Six, which called Oxman a "rockstar MIT professor," reported that nothing romantic has developed between the two, though a source also told Page Six that Oxman is dating billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. Ackman's team declined to comment to Page Six.

There’s a reason the most successful people in our society are often the most voracious — or dogged — readers.

Think about how many new ideas you’re exposed to in the pages of a book, compared to days in a year of your life alone. Frequent readers are constantly engaged with new ways of thinking, alternate perspectives, and a habitual effort for self-betterment. None of these things are exactly hurdles to success.

In fact, when Warren Buffett was asked about the key to success, he pointed to a stack of books, saying "Read 500 pages like this every day. That’s how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it."

And for those of you that will do it, here are the reading books those hyper successful people have recommended over the years, curated with quotes about why this pick exactly.

Bill Gates: "Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City"

As Desmond puts it: "Eviction’s fallout is severe. Losing a home sends families to shelters, abandoned houses, and the street. It invites depression and illness, compels families to move into degrading housing in dangerous neighborhoods, uproots communities, and harms children. Eviction reveals people’s vulnerability and desperation, as well as their ingenuity and guts."

Melinda and I have been working for some time to learn more about how Americans move up the economic ladder (what experts call mobility from poverty). "Evicted" helped me understand one piece of that very complex question, and it made me want to learn more about the systemic problems that make housing unaffordable, as well as the various government programs designed to help. Read his full comments here.

Netflix did some major house cleaning in 2017, cutting expensive shows like "Sense8" and "The Get Down." 

It also killed flops like "Girlboss" and "Gypsy" after only one season, and old favorites like "House of Cards," which will end after its sixth season. 

And Netflix isn't holding back in 2018 either.

Netflix's most recent cancellation is the 90s coming-of-age story "Everything Sucks," which received lukewarm reviews and didn't generate the buzz that Netflix expected. 

This is Netflix's third cut show in 2018, the other being quirky comedy "Lady Dynamite" and "Disjointed," a critically panned weed comedy starring Kathy Bates.

Here are the seventeen shows Netflix has killed in total, along with their critic and audience ratings from Metacritic.

Additional reporting by Jethro Nededog.

It's still early in the year, but the list of canceled TV shows is already piling up.

Networks haven't announced many cancellations yet, except for ABC, which canceled its freshman sitcom "The Mayor" and "Once Upon a Time," once a ratings hit. And in March, TNT announced the cancellation of its original series "The Librarians."

On the streaming side, things are a bit different. Amazon kicked off the year with a slew of cancellations, announcing the end of three quirky comedies, including the Golden Globe nominee "I Love Dick" and the comedian Tig Notaro's semi-autobiographical show, "One Mississippi." It canceled Golden Globe nominee "Mozart in the Jungle" in April, after four seasons. Also in April, Netflix canceled the 90s coming-of-age comedy, "Everything Sucks," which came to the streaming service in February. 

There are many more cancellations to come, especially since networks haven't announced the fate of their fall shows.

We'll update this list as more are announced.

Here are all the shows that have been canceled this year, including those from networks and Netflix:

Japanese Self-Defense Forces, Japan's unified military command, activated its first marine component since World War II and conducted a training exercise on Friday.

Dubbed the Amphibious Rapid Deployment Brigade, or ARDB, the newly formed group displayed their ability to repel and recapture islands from other occupying forces.

The subject of an autonomous, combatant military command is a sensitive subject, given that following World War II, the nation renounced its right to wage war and disbanded its army. In the post-war era, Japanese forces have typically been reserved to natural disaster relief and peacekeeping missions.

However, China's "unilateral escalation" in the East China Sea and North Korea's provocations have spurred many Japanese officials to reinterpret the country's pacifist history and address the emerging threats in recent years.

Check out Japan's latest marine addition to its Self-Defense Forces:

Japan has been at odds with China over the control of remote, uninhabited islands on the East China Sea. The dispute has strained ties between the two countries due to the potential economic value — such as oil and gas reserves, shipping lanes, and fishing grounds — in the area.

John Bolton started his tenure as President Donald Trump's latest national security adviser on Monday, with a crisis brewing in Syria and a potential upcoming summit with North Korea.

Bolton, a former US ambassador to the UN, replaced H.R. McMaster. He is well-known for his hawkish statements, to say the least.

"John Bolton was by far the most dangerous man we had in the entire eight years of the Bush administration," Richard Painter, the chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, tweeted on March 16. "Hiring him as the president's top national security advisor is an invitation to war, perhaps nuclear war."

It's quite the statement about an administration that included Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and other notable hawks of the 21st century.

Here are nine things Bolton has said that scare the national-security establishment.

"The Secretariat building in New York has 38 stories; if you lost 10 stories today, it wouldn't make a bit of difference," Bolton said in a 1994 speech, referring to the UN's headquarters. He added later: "There's no such thing as the United Nations."

Source: YouTube, New York Times

"I expect that the American role actually will be fairly minimal," Bolton said in 2002, before the US invasion of Iraq. "I think we'll have an important security role."

"The main thing people feared at that time was Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons stocks," Bolton said in 2009, defending the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

In reality, what most feared was the Bush administration's false claims that Hussein had nuclear ambitions and that the Iraqi government had ties to terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda.

• New York City-based falafel chain Taïm is poised to take over Manhattan.
• Founders Einat Admony and Stefan Nafziger have partnered with an investment group spearheaded by Chipotle veterans to plot an expansion.  
• The chain recently opened its third location in New York, and two more are on the way.  

After more than a decade in business, beloved New York City-based falafel chain Taïm is starting to expand. 

Chef Einat Admony and Stefan Nafziger opened their first Taïm (pronounced "tah-eem," Hebrew for "tasty" or "delicious") restaurant in 2005. The fast-casual chain stays true to its founders' roots by specializing in Israeli food, serving falafel, hummus, and Israeli salad on pita or as a platter. It also serves a variety of salads, french fries, and other side dishes.

There are three Taïm restaurants operating in Manhattan, with an additional two in the works. The West Village location was the first to open, followed by outposts in Nolita and now, Midtown East, at the Urbanspace Food Hall. The Financial and Flatiron Districts will be the next neighborhoods to welcome the Israeli chain.

Eventually, Taïm will likely expand beyond New York and into other markets such as Washington, DC, according to Restaurant Hospitality. To aid in its expansion, the founders of Taïm have partnered with an investment group spearheaded by Chipotle vets Phil Petrilli and Bethany Strong.

We recently visited Taïm's second outpost in the Nolita neighborhood of New York City. Here's what it's like to eat there:

The Taïm I went to was in the Nolita neighborhood in NYC. Across the street was one of its top Mediterranean-food competitors, Cava.

It was packed when I arrived just after noon.

The menu had a few types of falafel that you can order on a pita or platter. It also had salads, fries, sides, and smoothies. Everything was generally priced around $8 to $12.

The Insider Pick:

• If you're a tea lover or you need hot water on demand, you'll want to buy an electric kettle. With its variable water temperature settings, durable design, and good price, the Krups Savoy Adjustable Temperature Kettle is our top pick.

There's nothing like a hot cup of tea. For real tea fanatics, it can be difficult to get just the right temperature water for your brew and nuking H2O in the microwave is simply out of the question. That's where electric kettles come in. They boil water faster than a watched pot on your stove, and the best ones even offer adjustable temperature settings to ensure that the water is just right for your delicate tea leaves.

You can also use electric kettles to boil water quickly for any cause, whether it's oatmeal, instant noodles, or a packet of soup. No matter your needs, it's good to have a dedicated appliance in your kitchen that boils water quickly. Every self-respecting British person has a kettle at home, and the fact that most Americans don't is totally befuddling. It's time to correct that error, because as one Brit told me, "Stoves take too long, and we don't live in the 1800s anymore."

The cheapest electric kettles are often made of plastic, and most reviewers agree that they aren't durable enough and the plastic housing leaves an odd aftertaste to the water. As such, we haven't included any in our top picks. Most people agree that stainless steel kettles are the best, but glass and ceramic kettles are also popular.

We've mostly included stainless steel kettles because they are the most durable and will last you a few years at least. We considered several glass kettles, but some reviewers warned that the glass explodes or cracks easily, so they've been excluded. We included one highly rated ceramic kettle for those who want a more classic look and material for boiling their water.

We researched dozens of electric tea kettles to find the very best ones you can buy. Whether you want a fancy kettle with adjustable water temperature settings, a classy ceramic one, or a giant 5-Liter kettle that keeps your water hot for hours; we've got a kettle for you in our buying guide. You can also check out our buying guide to the best tea infusers.

Updated on 04/09/2018 by Malarie Gokey: Updated prices and added the iKettle by Smarter for high-tech people.

Read on in the slides below to learn why the Krups Savoy Adjustable Temperature Kettle is our top pick and why you might also like the Cuisinart PerfecTemp Electric Kettle, the Smeg 50's Retro-Style Electric Kettle, the Secura Stainless Steel Double Wall Electric Kettle, the BELLA Electric Ceramic Tea Kettle, the 4-Liter Zojirushi Electric Kettle, and the iKettle by Smarter.

The best electric kettle overall

Why you'll love it: The Krups Savoy Adjustable Temperature Kettle heats water to the perfect temperature for brewing a variety of teas, it looks gorgeous, and it costs much less than similar kettles.

If you're serious about your tea and you like to drink all different kinds of tea, you need an adjustable temperature kettle. The 1.7 Liter Krups Savoy Adjustable Temperature Kettle has five preset temperature settings to ensure that you never burn your green tea leaves with scalding hot water ever again.

It's remarkably easy to select the temperature setting you need and you can actually watch the water temperature's rise on the LCD display that sits on the kettle's base. If you want black or herbal tea, just hit boil and watch the water go up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit within five minutes or less. If you're drinking green, white, or oolong tea, you press the "TEMP" button until you see the right number for your tea on the screen. 

Believe it or not, using the right temperature is a big deal. Whenever I make green, white, or oolong tea with this kettle, I always set it to the right temperature instead of just hitting that "BOIL" button. The teas' flavors come out in full force when brewed at the right temperature, and it's so easy to select the right temperature on the Krups kettle. The LCD screen is an excellent addition to this fine kettle's design.

The kettle automatically stops boiling when it hits the temperature you selected or if it runs dry. The kettle will even keep your water warm for a time before automatically shutting off to protect the heating element. You can also press the start/cancel button to turn it off immediately.

The kettle is made out of brushed stainless steel, and it looks absolutely gorgeous in my kitchen. The kettle jug is unattached, so you can pick it up and pour the water over your tea, oatmeal, or cooking pot without worrying about the length of the cord. The cord is concealed in the base and you can have it as short as you need it to be. 

There's a big button on the top of the kettle, which pops the lid open when pressed. The handle is big and comfortable for easy handling and pouring. There is a water window as well, so you can check how much is in there. Krups put the anti-scale filter in the spout of the kettle, and you can remove it if need be.

The best thing about this kettle is that it does everything our former top pick, the Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp electric kettle, can do, but at a lower price. Whereas you'll spend a premium on the Cuisinart model, the Krups Savoy is a steal at $59. We also prefer the placement of the LCD screen and buttons on the Krups' kettle's base to the buttons on the Cuisinart kettle's handle. 

Although there aren't many reviews for this kettle, our personal experience and that of Amazon and Krups buyers is mostly very positive, though some wonder about longevity. We've been using it daily for nearly a year without any incident, and we'll keep you updated on how it fares, but we are confident that this is indeed the best kettle you can buy.

Pros: Affordable, adjustable temperature settings, clear LED screen, easy to use, attractive metal design

Cons: Some question durability

The second-best electric kettle

Why you'll love it: The Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp Stainless Steel Cordless Electric Kettle is a tea lover's dream kettle with six temperature settings for all kinds of tea.

The Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp electric kettle was formerly our top pick, and it's still a great choice if you dislike the Krups kettle or it sells out. Not only does it heat water quickly; it also brings the water to the perfect temperature for any kind of tea or coffee. 

Cuisinart's kettle packs 1500 watts of power to ensure that the water heats up in about four minutes. The kettle has six different pre-set temperature settings so that the water is the ideal temperature for brewing any kind of tea or coffee. 

The controls are on the kettle's handle, and you can choose between 160 degrees Fahrenheit for delicate teas, 175 degrees Fahrenheit for green tea, 185 degrees Fahrenheit for white tea, 190 degrees Fahrenheit for oolong tea, 200 degrees Fahrenheit for coffee, and "boil" for black tea. You can also use the "boil" setting for instant noodles, soup, oatmeal, or anything else that requires boiling water.

It'll automatically keep your water warm for 30 minutes and announce when your water is ready with a single beep. Cuisinart built in boil-dry protection, so it will automatically shut off if there's no water inside to boil. That protects the heating elements and ensure your kettle lasts longer. There's also an auto-sleep function that will turn off your kettle after 5 minutes of inactivity. A blue backlit water window lets you see how much water is inside, too.

The stainless steel kettle is durable and easy to clean. It has a concealed heating element to prevent too much mineral buildup, which is great if you have hard water at home. There's a removable and washable scale filter inside that you can clean. 

Reviewers from The Wirecutter, Best Reviews, Heavy, Best Products, and Apartment Therapy all loved the Cuisinart's ability to heat water to different temperatures and praised its sturdy stainless steel design. Positive user reviews highlight how accurate the temperature settings are — within 1-3 degrees of the settings — and many reviewers praise the device's durability. One reviewer said her kettle has lasted five years.

Although some reviewers on Amazon complain about durability and say their kettles rusted or broke quickly, The Wirecutter says that many of its staff members have used the kettle for years without issue. 

The kettle does have a three-year limited warranty, which is better than you'll get from most companies, so if yours is defective, you should be able to get a refund or replacement. Amazon's 30-day return policy also applies in case you just don't like the Cuisinart PerfcTemp electric kettle as much as expert reviewers and some users do.

Pros: Six temperature settings, stainless steel, keeps water warm for 30 minutes, blue backlit water level window, 3-year limited warranty, 1.7-Liter capacity, sleep mode turns off after 5 minutes, boil-dry protection, and it's detachable from the heating base

Cons: Pricey and some users worry about durability

The best high-end electric kettle

Why you'll love it: The Smeg 50's Retro-Style Electric Kettle adds style to any kitchen with its fun old school look, and it'll heat your water quickly, too.

Who says that kettles have to be boring and ugly? Smeg's 50's Retro-Style Electric Kettle adds much-needed flair to the boring old kettle with its 50's color palette and fun design aesthetic. You can get it in two different versions — one with variable temperature settings and one that just brings your water to a boil— and multiple color options, including cream, blue, green, red, black, chrome, and pink.

The kettle is made of stainless steel that's powder coated for added durability and protection from mineral buildup. Inside, there's a removable, stainless steel limescale filter that you'll need to clean every now and then to prevent too much of a deposit from building up. If you have hard water, you'll have to clean the filter more often.

Smeg's variable temperature kettle offers a variety of settings ranging from 106 degrees Fahrenheit to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. There are seven temperature settings that correspond to the different temperatures needed for different kinds of tea and coffee. A LED screen shows you the temperature, the kettle will also keep your water warm for a while, and it has an automatic shutoff function when your water is ready. It also has a water level window so you can check how much water is inside.

You can also opt to get the standard Smeg kettle without variable temperature rates if you only need boiling water for coffee, black tea, noodles, soups, and so on. Although you can't adjust the temperature, this kettle is still a great option, and it's more affordable at $129.95 versus the $189.95 price tag of the variable temperature Smeg kettle.

Anyone who loves fashionable, well-designed appliances or has a retro-inspired kitchen filled with Smeg appliances will love this kettle. It's also recommended by reviewers on Apartment Therapy, The Independent, Hughes, and The Good Housekeeping Institute, though they all point out you're paying a premium for the slick design. 

A trusted British friend of mine heartily recommends this kettle, and given how much tea he drinks on a daily basis, his recommendation carries a lot of weight. 

Positive user reviews on Amazon mostly harp on about the gorgeous design, but many also mention that it's very easy to use and works well. Negative reviews mention poor quality control and some worried that they received a counterfeit kettle, so buyer beware. Smeg offers a one-year warranty, and you can also buy 4-year protection for your kettle on Amazon.

Pros: Fun '50s design, stainless steel, option to buy variable temperature model, automatic shut off, removable stainless steel filter, water level indicator, and lots of lovely color options

Cons: Expensive

Sometimes I find myself abandoning my digital shopping cart before purchasing just because I don't want to pay the extra shipping fee. It's a hurdle I think plenty of people have trouble with — it can be hard to stomach an extra $10 for shipping when we're so used to the "free" two-day perk from Amazon's Prime membership. 

Despite the fact that you technically pay for that shipping from Amazon in the form of a $99 annual fee, having a Prime membership makes it difficult to justify the shipping cost from sites that were once our go-tos. 

It turns out, however, that Prime's free two-day shipping perk isn't just limited to Amazon.com. 

As Amazon continues to acquire more and more online retailers, it's also started spreading the benefits of its membership program to customers of those websites. This has mostly applied to the fashion brands they own, but recently expanded out to others as well. Though the list is pretty short right now, we have a feeling that the more companies Amazon buys, the more websites they'll end up adding Prime perks to.  

Below, you'll find a quick list of sites that currently offer free two-day shipping with your Amazon Prime membership:

• The destinations include food havens, sites of ancient ruins, and island paradises.

May is when many savvy travelers aim to cross another destination off their bucket list. Conditions are perfect — many of the world's greatest destinations start to heat up, and summer tourists have yet to descend, leaving prices relatively low and giving you plenty of space to enjoy your trip.

There are endless unique travel experiences to seek out in May, from the spiritual paradise of Bali, Indonesia and the jaw-dropping views of Machu Picchu in Peru to the world-famous barbecue competition in Memphis, Tennessee.

Business Insider looked at airfare trends, climate data, and peak travel times to figure out which vacation spots should be on your radar.

Asheville, North Carolina

May is the perfect time to visit the funky mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville offers a crisp breath of fresh air from the rest of the South, whose heat and humidity will be ratcheting up by May.

Asheville is a magnet for lovers of music, beer, and the great outdoors. Time your trip right and you'll catch the LEAF Festival for local and world music (May 10-13) or the Montford Music and Arts Festival (May 19).

Memphis, Tennessee

If food is your top priority, it's hard to pick a better destination in the US than Memphis. Barbecue is king here, and you could spend days sampling the best ribs in the city. Memphis is also a mecca for Elvis fans, and Graceland is a must-see for first-time visitors.

What makes May an especially great month to visit is the annual Memphis in May International Festival, running from May 4 to May 26. Each year features music, art, and cultural performances celebrating a different country — this year's honoree is the Czech Republic.  And of course, it wouldn't be a Memphis festival without food, so check out the world-famous barbecue contest that takes place each year.

Yellowstone National Park

There's arguably nowhere in the United States that boasts more natural beauty than Yellowstone National Park.  If you're a nature lover, prepare to spend several days marveling at erupting geysers, observing animals like moose, elk, and grizzly bears, and exploring the surrounding mountains and canyons.

Beat the crowds by visiting Yellowstone in May — the weather will be mild, and you won't have to fight through families on their summer vacations.

One of the biggest fears of anyone in a long-term, committed relationship is finding out that their partner has been unfaithful. It's a dilemma as old as time, but today's technology makes it possible to cheat in a whole new variety of ways. Steve Harris, Ph.D., director of the University of Minnesota's Couple and Family Therapy Program, explained in an interview with the Institute for Family Studies that modern digital media lifts many previous barriers to infidelity. But that same technology also leaves a digital footprint making it easier for the offender to be caught red-handed.

Here are a few stories shared by Reddit users explaining how they caught their own significant other cheating. Of course, these are just for fun as we can't independently authenticate them.

She showed me a picture of my own boyfriend

"I met a girl at the start of the school year who was telling me about her boyfriend in another city that she'd been dating over the summer. She mentioned his name, which was the same name as a guy that I'd dated at the exact same time. Curious, because two girls dating a guy the same name and another city seemed weird to me, I asked if he was cute so she'd show me a pic.

"Turned out it was the same guy. He was also involved with four other girls, one who lived in Canada. To this day, I'm not sure whether or not I'm surprised or impressed." - Redditor onethatgaveyougold

They left unsent messages in the drafts folder

"It was the initial change in behavior and then quickly closing browser windows as I got closer to the screen. Gathered some info by reading the browser history. Once I found some red flags like an e-mail address I didn't recognize I got more suspicious. I installed a keylogger on my computer and got the info on her new email account.

"She thought she was being sneaky by never hitting send, they just shared a drafts folder and left each other messages there. I printed them all out and when I was finally ready for the confrontation I asked her point blank about the emails I found. She told me it was her old college account she forgot about. I excused myself from the room came back with a folder, printed out all the emails and said 'Oh really?' and threw them on the dining room table. She offered me an open marriage and we could stay together, I declined." - Redditor myusernameisnot4u

I accidentally picked up his phone

"He worked nights and had recently had his car repossessed, so I was giving him rides to work. I showed up at his house about an hour or so before his shift started and began the process of waking him up so he could get ready to go. I sat down and picked up my phone. The text messages were already open but none of the conversations looked familiar. It dawned on me that I had picked up his phone by mistake (we had the same exact type of phone).

"I found a goldmine of evidence in his texts. He had been wooing some girl and trying to talk her into moving in with him and offering to pay her truck payment (no idea how, since he couldn't even make his own car payment). I was livid of course. I popped my card in his phone and copied the whole conversation, then transferred it to my phone for safekeeping in case he tried to delete it and deny it. I then texted the girl and asked her if she knew he had a girlfriend. Of course she didn't. He had been playing both of us." - Redditor Lydious
