• For those that don't have tickets to the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but are in Russia, FIFA's Fan Fest zones provide a fun place to watch matches with fans from all over the world.
• The Fan Fest zones have a ton of games, activities, swag, and giant screens to watch the games. 
• I recently visited one of the biggest Fan Fest zones, at Moscow’s Vorobyovy Gory, where tons of fans partied all day while watching the World Cup matches.

Every four years, the world comes together for a festival of football (soccer for Americans) that promises to make us forget all about the world’s troubles for a few weeks and unite in our collective humanity.

That spirit of global togetherness is on display in pubs and city squares all over the world during the 2018 FIFA World Cup, a tournament that brings together the finest footballers on the planet.

But nowhere is it more evident than at FIFA’s official Fan Fests in this year’s World Cup host country of Russia. 

For those that don’t have a ticket to the games, Russia’s 11 Fan Fest sites, spread across the country, promise to be a place where fans can join together and share in each game’s triumphs.

With massive screens, entertainment, and activities, the Fan Fests are like the world’s biggest sports bars for the duration of the tournament, which goes from June 14 to July 15.

One of the biggest Fan Fest sites this year is at Moscow’s Vorobyovy Gory, a park overlooking the city and Luzhniki Stadium. It holds a whopping 25,000 people at peak capacity.

I recently went to check out the fun while visiting Russia for this year’s World Cup. Here’s what it was like:

Ever since the 2006 World Cup in Germany, FIFA has set up official Fan Fest zones for visiting fans and citizens of the host country to watch World Cup games together. To get to the one in Moscow, you have to walk past Luzhniki Stadium, Russia's national stadium and one of the focal points of the tournament.

It's about a 30-minute walk from Luzhniki. You have to cross the Moskva River, which passes through central Moscow. When I went on a Monday afternoon, it was bright, sunny, and warm.

The Fan Fest is technically in Vorobyovy Gory, a park that overlooks Moscow. Literally meaning Sparrow Hills, it's one of the highest points in the city. It seemed to me a bit like Moscow's Central Park.

For most of us, going grocery shopping is one of the most dreaded chores we do every week. The lines are long, it's not usually a fun experience, and worst of all, it can be really expensive. According to GoBankingRates, the average American spends around $300 per month on groceries, and as Fool reported, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said that in 2014, families spent $2,787 on restaurants and takeout on average over the course of the year. That really adds up, but there are definitely ways to cut that number down if you'd rather spend your money elsewhere.

When it comes to food spending, it's common to make a few mistakes, but fortunately, most of these mistakes are very easy to correct if you're willing to change your habits and learn a few new tricks. 

Here are a few ways you're throwing your money away on food. 

You're not buying generic.

Brand recognition is huge when it comes to grocery shopping, and for some products, you might not be willing to compromise, especially if exactly what you want isn't available from any other company. But if you're ruling store brands out completely, you're missing out on some huge savings for virtually the same exact product.

As Lifehacker pointed out, store brands are often made by the same manufacturer as big-name products, and you could save as much as 30% off of your grocery bill by shopping generic. If you want to take this to another level, shop exclusively at stores like Aldi, where almost all of their products are private label. 

You're buying food way too far in advance.

As convenient as it is to make one grocery shopping trip for the week (or longer), it's not always the best idea for your budget. Buying foods that spoil quickly, like produce, may end up expiring before you have the chance to eat them, and that's just money down the drain.

Instead, if you shop on Sunday, think about just buying what you need until Wednesday, and then making another trip in when you're out of fresh fruits and veggies. Not an option for you? Buy your veggies frozen, so they stay edible for longer periods of time. That way, you're not throwing away your hard earned dollars on something you shouldn't

You're eating out all the time.

If you're busy, no one can argue how much easier it is to grab fast food on your way home rather than cooking (especially if you're feeding a whole family). And obviously, going out to restaurants is often a huge part of your social life. But if you're looking for a smaller food budget, the easiest place to make that happen is by cooking more and eating out less.

There are little ways to cut back, like skipping your daily coffee run in favor of brewing your own coffee at home, or you can opt to make bigger changes, like revamping your whole restaurant budget.

Ash Exantus, a financial coach with BankMobile, told Mic that the ideal budget for entertainment should be between 10-20% of your income each month. That means that in that category, you should figure out a dollar amount you spend on restaurants every month, and stick to it. Once you're out of the funds allotted for restaurants each month, you're done.

For the fifth year running, Google is the number-one company that college students from leading universities want to work for.

That's according to new data from education software company Piazza, which surveyed 150,000 students from more than 600 schools in North America, including Stanford, Harvard, and MIT, about where they most wanted to work.

Getting a job at Google isn't easy: It's commonly said that it's easier to get into Harvard than it is to get a job at Google. Indeed, the company is notorious for its intensive application process, putting applicants through several rigorous rounds of interviews as it tries to suss out the best of the best. 

And yet, the top tech talent of the future wants to work at Google.

Here's what Google is doing right, according to Piazza: 

It presents a clear mission.

"Students have a very clear idea of what they will do at Google," Piazza vice president of client relationships Sean Celli tells Business Insider. "They know the type of impact they'll have. The mission of the organization is a magnet brand for attracting talent."

Its brand resonates with young people.

Google is twenty years old, but its brand still resonates with college students.

For years, the company has maintained its colorful, quirky branding that's withstood the test of time and continued to attract prospective employees.

"It's a challenge for other companies to compete with that," said Celli. "Some of the older-world companies are not clearly defining their brands, and what we're seeing is that a clear brand presence is really important when you want to interest people in working for you."

Working for Google is more than just a job.

Today's graduates are looking for careers that are both personally and professionally enriching, said Celli.

Google's mission appeals to millennials, who tend to be more idealistic when it comes to picking out their career path, said Celli. 

"What they're focused on as a company really resonates with students," said Celli. 

This has proved especially true when it comes to deeply competitive industries like autonomous vehicles. With Uber, Tesla, and Google spinout Waymo all attempting to attract the same pool of talent, Piazza's data shows that Waymo is still the top choice for engineering students with that specialty. 

The race to snag top tech talent from prominent schools is competitive. Typically, tech giants like Facebook, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are all vying for the same pool of graduates. 

A recent from study from software company Piazza rounded up the companies that computer science students from schools like MIT, Harvard, Stanford, University of Texas Austin, and Georgia Tech are most interested in working for. Piazza extended its questionnaire to more than 600 schools across North America and surveyed around 150,000 students.

Here's where they said they most wanted to work: 

30) Ebay

29) Visa

28) Samsung

A film's soundtrack is one of the most important parts of the movie-going experience, whether we realize it or not as we're watching. The right music helps set the scene, sparking emotions from the viewer, even telling a story all on its own, elevating our experience and bringing us into the world being shown before us.

But some songs, whether specifically made for the movie or just perfectly added to an integral scene, seem to transcend the films they were featured in. Others become inextricably linked to their films, becoming a part of pop culture history for generations to come.

These are some of the most iconic movie songs of all time, in no particular order. These songs transcend decades and genres but are all unmistakably linked to the movies they're featured in.

Note: We did not include iconic movie scores, the instrumental music from a film, because those are honestly worthy of their own list.

"Footloose" by Kenny Loggins ("Footloose")

The movie musical quickly became one of the biggest hits when it was released in 1984, in no small part thanks to Loggins' now-iconic song. It's impossible not to dance when you hear it, which is probably why the song topped the charts for three weeks in a row on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming such a massive hit that Loggins himself was blown away by its success.

In 2014, he revealed in an interview, "It became the biggest movie of the summer. We didn't see it coming. But I remember going to the premiere and watching the opening scene of the movie, … using "Footloose" (the song) over the dancing feet. My wife turns to me and goes, ‘This is gonna be huge.'" Audiences furiously kicked off their Sunday shoes in agreement, of course.

"Kiss From a Rose" by Seal ("Batman Forever")

Seal originally released the song in 1994, but it hit icon status when it was featured on the "Batman Forever" soundtrack a year later, earning the singer three Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

It might feel like an unlikely song for a superhero movie, but that's what makes it work so perfectly. "Kiss From a Rose" is no doubt Seal's biggest hit, cementing Val Kilmer's Batman as one of the most memorable of all.

"I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston ("The Bodyguard")

Houston was already a bona fide music legend by the time she made her acting debut in the 1992 romantic thriller, but the song rapidly became one of her most remarkable hits, thanks to those searing high notes and her flawless delivery.

It's often forgotten that the ballad is actually a cover of a Dolly Parton song, and it made music history as the only country song to reach No. 1 in three separate decades. It topped the charts around the globe upon its release and did the same within hours of Houston's death in 2012.

Drug companies have been hit hard this year. 

Public opinion, trust and reputation of pharmaceutical companies appear to be eroding, according to a new analysis from the research consulting firm Reputation Institute.

Pharma giants saw a 3.7% decline in reputation score from last year. There was also a significant decline in the public's perception of the transparency, openness and authenticity of drugmakers. 

The points are calculated from 2,608 individual ratings on seven areas: products and services, innovation, workplace, governance, citizenship, leadership, and financial performance. These contribute to companies' "RepTrak" score. Overall, of the 22 pharma companies ranked, Sanofi was number one and Pfizer was last.

Here are the companies ranked from worst to best based on perception.

22. Pfizer. RepTrak Points: 54.5

Pfizer had the lowest reputational score among the pharmaceutical companies that Reputation Institute looked at, based on the general public's perception of product, prices and public hospitality. It was reported in May that Pfizer used charity to mask a heart drug price hike. Pfizer also had a huge role in the drug shortage crisis, according to Fortune. 

The drug giant is now taking some new risks and dipping its toes into some uncharted scientific territories like gene therapy and cancer immunotherapy. 

“Pfizer’s reputation has remained consistent since 2017 and is on par with our multinational biopharmaceutical peers given the variance in reputation scores is limited. We look forward to continuing to educate our stakeholders about Pfizer’s mission to discover new medicines and to ensure patients have access to them,” Pfizer representatives said in an email statement to Business Insider. 

21. GlaxoSmithKline. RepTrak Points: 57.4

GSK just welcomed the first female big pharma CEO onboard in 2017. With that, came a reshuffling of 40% of the company's top management team in a bid to bring in new ideas. 

The drugmaker has seen increased competition in its core businesses: respiratory and HIV treatments. It entered into an open rivalry with Gilead over HIV drugs in November 2017. 

In April, the company's shingles vaccine was recommended by the US Center for Disease Control. 

However, in May, regulators in Europe and the US issued warnings about a link between the company's HIV drug, Tivicay, and certain birth defects. But just last month, the company's two drug HIV met goals in late-stage studies. 

"At GSK, our purpose is to help people do more, feel better and live longer and we accomplish this with our innovative medicines and vaccines. We have a legacy of ensuring people have access to our medicines and our vaccines, and we lead the pharmaceutical industry in the fight against so-called super bugs – all of which has been recognized by the Access to Medicine Foundation," GSK said in an email statement to Business Insider. 

20. Merck. RepTrak Points: 58.4

Famous for drugs like Keytruda, Merck has had a bit of a comeback as a winner at ASCO with its positive melanoma data. But the company has had its share of bad headlines as well. In May 2017, Merck paid $60.2 million to resolve a lawsuit about its practices to delay entrance of generic drugs into the market. Merck was also accused that month of operating an anti-competition scheme. In August 2017, Trump called out Merck's CEO about lowering drug prices and increasing transparency in their operations. Merck, along with GSK and Pfizer were the only pharmaceutical companies to have a "weak" score, while the rest had "average" or "strong" reputations. 

• The Toyota Prius turned 20 in 2017.
• It's the most successful hybrid of all time.
• It's also an unlikely automotive icon.

In the history of the automobile, there have been iconic sets of wheels, but only two cars that could truly be called groundbreaking.

The Ford Model T — and the Toyota Prius.

Sorry, Mustang. Sorry, Corvette. Sorry, Tesla Model S. The Ford Model T created the mass-market motorcar. And the Prius perfected it for the 20th century.

The Prius is now a little over 20 years old. It went on sale in Japan in December of 1997. And as Wards Auto pointed out:

Since its launch, Toyota has sold 4.3 million units. Cumulative hybrid sales by the automaker, including 36 other Toyota and Lexus models introduced over the past two decades, have grown to 11 million, including 1.5 million this year. Of these, 220,000 are Priuses.

No other hybrid model by any other automaker, including Toyota, is close. No other automaker is close. Honda, ranked second, has sold 2 million hybrids. The rest of the industry combined has delivered an estimated 2 million.

That's impressive. And after two decades of dominance, the Prius might be heading for decline, as hybrids are surpassed by all-electric cars.

Still, the Prius remains the Prius — homely, sincere, and an unlikely blockbuster. Here's a look back:

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

The first-generation Prius wasn't much to look at. Years of high-development at Toyota yielded a tricked out Echo compact sedan with a new powerplant and an odd name.

But consumers loved the thing. The gas-electric drivetrain posted awesome fuel economy and minimal emissions. A snazzier second-gen Prius arrived in 2003. At about $25,000, it was priced to move (even though Toyota lost thousands on each car).

In 2009 the third-generation arrived. It considered by the Prius-scenti to be the definitive example.

• Best Buy and Sears both sell appliances and electronics like TVs, smart-home devices, and speaker systems. 
• If Sears were to close all of its stores, Best Buy would be in a good position to capture sales, analysts say, because of the overlap in the products the stores sell. 
• We visited both stores and found that besides the size of the electronics departments, Best Buy offered better prices, higher-quality products, and a better shopping experience overall.

It's no secret that Sears' business has been struggling for some time.

Best Buy may be one of the biggest winners if Sears closes its stores, in part because of the retailers' overlap in appliances and consumer electronics. While appliances are still one of the top categories for Sears, making up an estimated $3.5 billion of Sears' sales, consumer electronics are an $850 million business for the retailer, according to UBS analysis.

According to the Associated Press, in 2014, Sears changed its electronics department's focus from products like TVs to "connected living" products in fitness, home services, appliances, and gadgets. But in March, it decided to refocus on consumer electronics in one-third of its stores again.

Though the company is expanding its electronics department, it isn't investing nearly as much as Best Buy in its overall store upkeep. USA Today reported that Sears spent just 91 cents per square foot in capital expenditures in its most recent fiscal year, while Best Buy invested $15.36 per square foot in the same period, according to research by the Susquehanna International Group.

When we visited one of the Sears locations that carried electronics, the store seemed to be struggling. A lot of the shelves were empty, and much of what was on shelves felt dated, including things like boomboxes designed for CDs and cassettes or speakers that can connect to an iPhone 4. 

Unlike Sears, which is struggling to stay afloat, Best Buy reported 7.1% same-store sales growth in the first quarter of 2018 and plans to open a new store for the first time in seven years. Sears, on the other hand, reported a 13.4% decline in same-store sales in its most recent quarter. When we visited, Best Buy had more of a focus on new technology like smart-home devices. The displays were also more appealing, and the prices were lower on products like TVs, headphones, and phone chargers.

While the selection itself was obviously bigger at Best Buy, we compared the two stores' electronics selection based on the overall shopping experience. See how they stack up:

My first stop was Sears in Yonkers, New York. The massive department store spanned three floors.

It took me a while to find the electronics department. It was shoved into a corner on the third floor, surrounded by vacuums and microwaves.

The selection of TVs was limited. There were two walls of TVs that were all similar in size and price.

• In March, David Hogg, a student who survived the shooting in Parkland, Florida, called for a boycott of companies that advertise on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show after Ingraham posted a tweet mocking Hogg. She later apologized.
• Hogg is now launching a fresh campaign on Twitter after Ingraham compared the migrant child detention centers where children who have been separated from their parents are being held to "summer camps" during her show on Monday evening. He's urging his followers to contact Ingraham's advertisers and request they pull out of the show. 
• Here's what happened the last time Hogg staged a boycott campaign against Ingraham. 

In March, David Hogg, a student who survived the shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, called for a boycott of companies that advertise on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show in response to a tweet that mocked Hogg by saying he "whines" about college rejections.

"Soooo @IngrahamAngle what are your biggest advertisers ... Asking for a friend," Hogg responded, adding the hashtag #BoycottIngramAdverts.

He later tweeted a list of companies he said were advertisers on Ingraham's show and urged his followers to contact them. It appears to have worked, as several brands dropped the show in the following few days, and Ingraham later apologized to Hogg on Twitter.

"I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland,"she wrote.

She continued: "For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David immediately after that horrific shooting and even noted how 'poised' he was given the tragedy. As always, he's welcome to return to the show anytime for a productive discussion."

On Tuesday, Hogg launched a new boycott campaign on Twitter, calling out seven different companies that advertise on Ingraham's show, such as John Deere and SirusXM, and asking them to end their partnerships with Ingraham. The Fox News host compared the migrant child detention centers where children who have been separated from their parents are being held to "summer camps" during her show on Monday evening. 

Here's how companies responded the last time Hogg staged a campaign against Ingraham's show:

Nutrish

The pet-food company Nutrish was the first to publicly respond to requests on Twitter for it to remove its ads.

"We are in the process of removing our ads from Laura Ingraham's program,"the company tweeted.

Wayfair

The online furniture retailer confirmed to Business Insider that it would pull ads from the TV show.

"As a company, we support open dialogue and debate on issues," a representative said. "However, the decision of an adult to personally criticize a high school student who has lost his classmates in an unspeakable tragedy is not consistent with our values. We do not plan to continue advertising on this particular program."

TripAdvisor

TripAdvisor confirmed to Business Insider that it would pull ads from the show.

A spokesman said the company does not "condone the inappropriate comments made by this broadcaster."

He continued: "These statements focused on a high school student cross the line of decency."

Here's the full statement from TripAdvisor:

"We believe strongly in the values of our company, especially the one that says, 'We are better together.'

"We also believe Americans can disagree while still being agreeable, and that the free exchange of ideas within a community, in a peaceful manner, is the cornerstone of our democracy.

"We do not, however, condone the inappropriate comments made by this broadcaster. In our view, these statements focused on a high school student cross the line of decency. As such, we have made a decision to stop advertising on that program.

"It is important to note that TripAdvisor has a global and diverse customer base, and is an active advertiser on a number of networks including news. Our media buys target a variety of time slots and audiences. That said, we will continue to monitor where our advertisements appear in the open market to ensure they fit our guidelines."

• The best loungewear is perfect for relaxing at home, plus, it's stylish enough that you wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen in it. Tommy John makes our favorite loungewear, including everything from the most comfortable underwear to great joggers, shorts, and comfy tops.

One of the best decisions I ever made was to replace my threadbare old t-shirts from college with nicer loungewear. Even before I started freelancing and spending about 75% of my time in comfy clothes, I found that upgrading my “hang around the house” wardrobe impacted my overall mood.

There’s nothing wrong with whatever stretched out leggings, ragged shorts, and oversized tops you find in the back of your dresser drawer, of course. But nice loungewear can make a big difference, especially if you spend all your free time hanging out in it. Not saying it’s the solution to the Sunday Scaries or anything, but it certainly helps.

Brands are really stepping up their game as far as loungewear goes, probably thanks to the popularity of the athleisure trend. There are tons of options that are as attractive as they are comfortable, from sleepwear to leggings, so you can look as good as you feel while watching Netflix and eating nachos.

Here are our top picks for the best loungewear brands: 

• Best loungewear overall: Tommy John 
• Best affordable loungewear: Old Navy 
• Best comfy loungewear: MeUndies 
• Best loungewear for outside: Everlane
• Best sporty loungewear: Vuori

Read on in the slides below to check out our top picks.

The best loungewear overall

Why you'll love it: It’s no secret that we love Tommy John underwear, but the brand’s undershirts, pants, camisoles, socks, and other loungewear staples are also amazing.

The experience of wearing uncomfortable loungewear is strange and unsettling — After all, comfort is the entire point. Tommy John understands that. The brand revolutionized underwear, and now it's slowly coming for the rest of your closet.

What began as a men’s underwear label has expanded to include extensive women’s offerings and cozy clothes. We’re big fans of the brand here at  Insider Picks. The team has written glowing reviews of both the men’s and women’s underwear as well as the loungewear.

The items are simple, rendered in mostly solid colors and soft fabrics that are designed to stay comfortable for long periods of time. Standouts include the Second Skin Lounge Pant, made of super soft non-pilling micro-modal, Stay-Up Dress Sock, the Second Skin Crew-Neck Stay-Tucked Undershirt, and the Air Stay-Tucked Camisole.

Prices are high for such basic items (think $43 for an undershirt), but reviewers agree that the smart design elements and luxe fabrics make them worth the cost.

“I keep trying less expensive undershirts, but finally threw in the towel and said Tommy John's ‘second skin’ are the only ones I will be buying, going forward,” reads one review on the website.

Another shopper called the Second Skin Lounge Pant, “seriously the most comfortable pair that I own.”

Pros: Offers comfortable underwear, undershirts, lounge pants, shirts, and socks with smart design elements and soft materials

Cons: Pricey compared to competitors (but you get what you pay for!), very limited size range in some styles

The best affordable loungewear

Why you'll love it: Old Navy is your one-stop shop for all things comfy, cozy, and cheap from fleece sweatpants to oversized t-shirts with cute prints.

Old Navy needs no introduction. Chances are, you’ve been shopping there for years. But don’t sleep (pun heavily intended) on the loungewear section. The brand’s sleep shirts, sweatpants, and roomy t-shirts are as comfortable as some of their higher-end counterparts.

The difference? Old Navy loungewear is super cheap.

Many of the pieces are under $20, and frequent sales make them even cheaper. There are men’s and women’s offerings, including a pair of fleece sweatpants with 275 5-star reviews and French-terry joggers with 717 5-star reviews. There are also sleep pants and roomy t-shirts with cute graphics and patterns.

Old Navy also stands out for its size range. Most of the items are available in XS-XXL and there are collections for plus size, maternity, petite, and tall.

Pros: Inexpensive and cute loungewear, decent size range

Cons: Not all styles available in all sizes

The best comfy loungewear

Why you'll love it: MeUndies, the brand that makes your favorite underwear, is also responsible for the softest joggers and sweatshirts you’ll ever wear.

The micromodal underwear from direct-to-consumer brand MeUndies is some of the best we’ve ever tried, so it’s not a surprise that the brand makes killer lounge-around-the-house clothes, too. MeUndies offers a collection of pared-down staples in mostly solid colors, including t-shirts, sweatpants, shorts, and even dresses.

Insider Picks editors are fans of the MeUndies Lounge Pant, in particular. It comes in Men’s and Women’s variations, both made of a super soft blend of micromodal and elastane and complete with back pockets.

Perhaps the best thing about the Lounge Pant is the shape. Thanks to a tapered leg, they create a nicer silhouette than most sweatpants. As Insider Picks editor Ellen Hoffman puts it: “Petite women like me tend to lose their shape in sweats, but the tapered leg on these makes all the difference. I don't feel like a schlup when I wear them.”

At $60, the pants might seem expensive for sweats, but we can almost guarantee you’ll wear them constantly. Think of it like one of those MasterCard commercials. The MeUndies Lounge Pant: $60. Clothes you’ll want to wear every day for the rest of your life: Priceless.

Pros: Comfy loungewear made of soft micromodal fabric, cute silhouette

Cons: Only available online

• Economic trends like AI and globalization are changing the jobs landscape in the US.
• Using employment projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Business Insider found 41 jobs that are predicted to have much lower levels of employment in 2026 than they did in 2016.

• Generation Z is the most ethnically-diverse and largest generation in American history.
• They're often cast as anti-social, technology-addicted, or "social justice warriors."
• From talking to 104 teenagers nationwide, Business Insider discovered what makes today's teens stressed out, happy, curious, and connected. 

Generation Z is the most ethnically-diverse and largest generation in American history.

And they're the youngest — Pew Research Center defined them recently as everyone born after 1997. 

We usually view teens and the younger generations with a tinge of derision. And Gen Zs, with their obsession over Instagram and rejection of hourly work, are primed for the utmost scorn by their elders. 

But we're more likely to understand what Generation Z is all about by talking to them. 

Business Insider surveyed 104 Generation Zers nationwide to find out what it's like to be a teenager in 2018. Learn below about their opinions, fears, dreams, and complexities.

Who did we talk to?

Business Insider surveyed 104 teens aged 13 to 19. They came from all over the US, including North Carolina, New York, and Michigan.

Many survey respondents came from WeAreGenZ, a consultancy and think tank powered by Gen Zs nationwide.

The average teen got their first smart phone just before their 12th birthday.

Nearly 80% of teens got their first smartphone between the ages of 11 and 13.

Almost 3% of teens got their first smartphone at age 8, and 6% at 15 or older.

Since we have been raised in an age where texts and messages can be sent in the blink of an eye, we are less patient than other generations because we are used to having instant gratification. But our generation is also very determined to show that we are capable of real thoughts and using the technology and communication methods we have been given for making change, despite what older generations expect from us."— 15-year-old

Most teens had an iPhone.

Among survey respondents, 94% had an Apple phone.

That's higher than what other surveys have shown, but not shockingly so. Investment bank and asset management firm Piper Jaffray found that, in their semi-annual survey of around 6,000 American teens, 84% of teens plan that their next phone will be Apple. 

The M16A4 was the standard service rifle for the Marine Corps until October 2015, when it was decided that the M4 Carbine would replace them in infantry battalions. For whatever reason, civilians tend to think the M16A4 is awesome when, in reality, it's actually despised by a lot of Marines.

Now, the M16A4 is, by far, not the worst weapon, but it didn't exactly live up to the expectations laid out for it. They're accurate and the recoil is as soft as being hit in the shoulder with a peanut, so it certainly has its place. But when Marines spend a considerable amount of time in rainy or dusty environments, they'll find it's not the most reliable rifle.

Here are some of the major complaints Marines have about the weapon:

1. They get rusty very easily

For a weapon that's supposed to be used in "every clime and place," these rifles seem to get rust like boots get married — way too quickly. This just means that you should carry some CLP and scrub it off regularly — another task to add to the pile.

2. Cleaning is a headache

Outside of problems with rust, the chamber gets caked with carbon after firing a single magazine. This is yet another thing you'll have to spend time cleaning. And when you break the rifle down, you're going to find carbon has found its way into every possible small space.

3. Jams are too common

If there's a bit of dirt in the chamber, prepare for some double feeds or stove-pipe jams. This might just be the fact that many of these rifles have been worn down from participating in two separate combat theaters, but the fact remains: your gun will jam.

If the director is the most important crew member on set, in most cases the cinematographer is the second-most important.

A skilled director of photography can turn a mediocre movie suddenly into a critical darling or a good movie into an Oscar contender. But unlike directors, who can have a breakout indie and suddenly get snatched up to do the next Hollywood blockbuster, cinematographers are in it for the long game.

Many have to work a decade or two on independent films, shorts, TV shows, and commercials before scoring a studio feature. And even at that point you still have to compete for work with the legends in the field like Emmanuel Lubezi, Robert Richardson, and Roger Deakins to land a job. 

Here are 11 cinematographers who are beginning to make their mark in Hollywood — including the visionaries behind "Moonlight" and "The Last Jedi."

Mike Gioulakis (“It Follows,” “Split”)

Gioulakis has found success in the thriller genre with the indie darling “It Follows” and M. Night Shyamalan’s latest hit, “Split,” being the standouts. For both, Gioulakis’ use of natural light and shadows to amp up the spookiness is a very useful tool.

James Laxton (“Moonlight”)

Jumping around from low-budget indies to a few Kevin Smith movies (“Tusk” and “Yoga Hosers”), Laxton reteamed with Barry Jenkins (he shot Jenkins’ debut feature “Medicine for Melancholy”) to make “Moonlight” — and the rest his history. The beautiful exterior shots of Miami are one of the reasons the movie went on to win an Oscar.

Jody Lee Lipes (“Manchester by the Sea,” “Martha Marcy May Marlene”)

In the early 2000s, Lipes was the guy at NYU everyone wanted to shoot their short films, and since he’s been in high demand on the professional level. From shooting episodes of “Girls” to lensing “Trainwreck,” he’s worked on every budget level. His standouts, though, have been his beautiful shooting of tough stories like Sean Durkin’s “Martha Marcy May Marlene” in 2011 and Kenneth Lonergan’s 2016 Oscar-winning movie, “Manchester by the Sea.”

Chances are, how smart you think you are and how smart you actually are probably don't exactly match up. And while some people might think they know more in certain areas than they actually do when you get right down to it, others probably are actually smarter than they think they are.

Dr. Katie Davis, PsyD, a clinical neuropsychologist, told INSIDER that the Wexler intelligence test, which is the most common one that's used to measure intelligence, breaks intelligence down into abstract reasoning and mechanical skills. So the definition of being smart or not isn't exactly an easy, straightforward thing.

It's kind of a complex topic. But these subtle signs might give you some clues that you're pretty bright.

1. You're creative.

If you're a creative person, that actually could be an indication that you're smarter than you might think. Part of being creative means being flexible and thinking all kinds of different ways, and intelligence and executive functioning are both important for that, Davis said.

"I think executive functioning and intelligence are both highly important for creativity because part of executive functioning is thinking flexibly and being able to shift and think outside of the box and kind of change your patterns of thinking from one way to another way and I think that's crucial for creativity as well as high level of abstraction,” Davis explained. "So I think, the whole idea that you don't have to be a skilled mechanical thinker in order to be creative is also incorrect. I think that the kind of mechanics and the ability, the ability to regulate your thoughts and to focus your thoughts and to focus your attention, they facilitate your creativity in many ways. That said, there are tons of people who have terrible executive functioning who are quite creative. There are obviously people that break the mold all the time, but I think that these are common misconceptions. I think that intelligence and executive functioning are both critical for creativity.”

2. People don't seem to always relate to you very well.

If people don't seem to always be able to relate to you very well, but you can't figure out why it could actually be because you're extremely smart. Author Laurie Endicott Thomas, MA, ELS told INSIDER that it can be difficult for people who have different intelligence levels to find commonalities and relate well to one another.

"When you are a child, the people that you're able to form real friendships with, the people you click with, the people on your wavelength, their IQ's gonna be within 15 points of yours,” Thomas said. "So if you are an average person, by definition, the average IQ is 100. So if you've got an IQ of 100, that means that 68% of the population is gonna have an IQ within 15 points of yours. So this means that 68% of the population is gonna be in your friendship zone ... Now if you have an IQ of 145 or higher, the world is gonna be a different place for you because if you have an IQ of 145, only about 2% of the population is going to be within your friendship zone. And most people are not going to get you.”

And if you or someone else in your life is especially gifted, Thomas said that you should know about an organization called SENG, Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted, which works to make life a little less isolating for the smartest among us.

3. You're really great at puzzles.

If puzzles are something that come easily to you and you're able to tackle complicated or challenging puzzles with relative ease, you might actually be smarter than you think you are.

Davis said that solving puzzles, recognizing or decoding, for lack of a better word, sequences, noticing patterns, and more, are all good indicators that you can "think at a high level and complex level with verbal information and language-based information, or with verbal information.”

• Using data from RENTCafé, we found the most expensive and most affordable neighborhoods in nine major US cities.
• The findings show a sharp contrast in rent across different neighborhoods in the same city.
• The average monthly rent in San Francisco's most affordable neighborhood is higher than rent in the most expensive neighborhoods of six cities on this list.

There's arguably nothing as grueling as searching for a new place to live — especially if you're an urban-dwelling renter on a budget.

Rent in the US is up 7% this year, albeit at a slower pace of growth, and rents as a percentage of income are at a historic high of 29.1%. It's no surprise, then, that renters spent a record amount of money on housing in 2017, paying $485.6 billion to landlords, Business Insider's Akin Oyedele previously reported. 

Still, many Americans are struggling to afford housing. New research from the National Low Income Housing Coalition shows that a minimum-wage worker needs 2.5 full-time jobs to afford to rent a one-bedroom apartment in most of the US.

Needless to say, the neighborhood you live in matters when it comes to keeping your housing costs in check.

We recently compared the most expensive and most affordable neighborhoods in nine major US cities using the average monthly rent data for all rentals from RENTCafé.

Not only did our findings highlight extreme differences across different neighborhoods in the same city, they also emphasized just how high rent really is, even in some of the most affordable neighborhoods.

Look at San Francisco, one of the most expensive cities in the country. The average monthly rent in its most expensive neighborhood, Mission Bay, is $4,060. In Hayes Valley, the city's most affordable neighborhood, the average monthly rent is $2,764. That's lower for San Francisco, but higher than the average monthly rent in the most expensive neighborhoods of six cities on this list — Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Miami, Phoenix, and Washington, DC.

Manhattan has the most expensive neighborhood overall, with average rents in TriBeCa at $5,586. Of all the most affordable neighborhoods, Houston's Greater Fifth Ward is the least expensive with an average rent of $653.

Manhattan has the highest disparity of any city between its most expensive neighborhood, TriBeCa, and most affordable neighborhood, Washington Heights, with a $3,411 difference.

Now, take a look at the most expensive and most affordable neighborhood in each city.

From the co-founder of Apple to "the Godfather of Soul," some of the most legendary individuals have left behind parting words that will seriously give you goosebumps.

Here are some of the most iconic final phrases that have been confirmed, reported, and alleged.

Nostradamus: "You will not find me alive at sunrise."

The French astrologer and physician became known for his prophecies throughout the 1500s. On the night before his death, he allegedly stated, "You will not find me alive at sunrise." It is said to be his final accurate prediction.

James Brown: "I'm going away tonight."

Brown, the "Godfather of Soul," had been sick for several months before passing away from congestive heart failure in 2006. He reportedly told Charles Bobbit, his friend and manager, "I'm going away tonight," according to CNN.

The singer died hours later.

Johnny Ace: "I'll show you that it won't shoot."

During an intermission at one of his shows, the R&B singer went to his dressing room and began playing with a pistol. When others saw that he had a gun in his hand, Ace reportedly said, "I'll show you that it won't shoot." He then pressed the pistol against his head and pulled the trigger, according to "Big Mama Thornton: The Life."

Whether you're seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life or just want someplace quiet to think, gardens provide an oasis of tranquility.

From Norway's Tromsø Arctic-Alpine Botanical Garden — the northernmost botanical garden in the world — to Sigiriya, an ancient rock fortress in Sri Lanka that boasts some of Earth's oldest landscaped gardens, there's a verdant enclave to suit every taste. 

Read on to learn about 23 of the most stunning gardens around the world. 

The Gardens of Versailles in Versailles, France

André Le Nôtre,"king of gardeners and Gardner to the King," was charged with designing the gardens of Versailles in the 1660s. 

Thousands of workers helped orchestrate the design, which involved trees imported from various regions of France. 

Le Nôtre's plan was so complex that it required that the gardens be replanted about once every 100 years. Louis XVI and Napoleon III each did their part to revitalize the grounds, and most recently they were replanted following a severe storm in 1999.

In total, the gardens span 1,976 acres and are dotted with more than 200,000 trees. 

Torre Guinigi in Lucca, Italy

Built in the 14th century by silk merchants, the Torre Guinigi is a 145-foot-tall brick tower topped by a magnificent array of holm oak trees. It was used as a defensive tower during a time when Italy was plagued by raids and violence.

To ascend the tower, you need to climb 230 steps, but the view is worth the effort.

Le Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech, Morocco

Cultivated by Jacques Majorelle, a French painter, this 110,000-square-foot garden of exotic and rare plants is accented by pops of cobalt blue. In fact, he trademarked the color— found on fountains, garden walls, and other features throughout the garden — and named it "Majorelle blue."

It's also known as the "Yves Saint-Laurent garden" because the fashion designer and his partner Pierre Berge bought the property in 1980, saving it from demolition 18 years after Majorelle's death.

The Insider Pick:

• Hamsters need their exercise and they love to run, so you need a good hamster wheel to keep your little pet happy. The Love Hamster Wheel Quiet Spinner is our top pick because it's quiet, safe, and fun for hamsters.

Hamsters are very small pets when compared to cats and dogs, so they take up a lot less space. Though your hamster will be perfectly happy in a tabletop cage, you do need to make sure that his needs for exercise are met and the best way to do that is to provide him with a hamster wheel on which to run.

There are several factors to consider when choosing a hamster wheel. First and foremost, you need to think about your hamster’s size. Second, consider whether your hamster is diurnal or nocturnal. Some designs are quieter than others and may be preferable for nighttime runners. Third, you’ll want to consider how easy the wheel is to clean since hamsters can be messy.

You might think that a hamster wheel is a hamster wheel, but that isn’t quite true. Hamster wheels come in a wide variety of different designs and one may appeal to your hamster more than another. We’ve read the reviews and scoured the internet to bring you our top picks for the best hamster wheels.

Here are the best hamster wheels you can buy:

• Best overall: Love Hamster Wheel Quiet Spinner
• Best flying saucer: Ware Flying Saucer Hamster Wheel
• Best metal wheel: Prevue Pet Products Wire Mesh Hamster Wheel
• Best clip-on wheel: Kaytee CritterTrail Snap-On Comfort Wheel
• Best quiet wheel: Exotic Nutrition Silent Runner

The best hamster wheel overall

Why you'll love it: The Love Hamster Wheel Quiet Spinner is made from high-quality non-toxic materials and designed for safe and silent operation. 

Hamster wheels come in a variety of different forms but there are some features that hamster owners find the most desirable. First and foremost, the wheel should be large enough to accommodate hamsters of all species and it should be safe for them to use. Bonus features include options for free-standing or cage-mounting as well as quiet operation. Our top pick for the best hamster wheel is the Love Hamster Wheel Quiet Spinner because it meets all those needs.

The best flying saucer hamster wheel

Why you'll love it: With its wide running surface and quality construction, the Ware Flying Saucer Hamster Wheel is the best flying saucer wheel.

If you keep more than one hamster in a cage together, you’ll need to make sure that all of your hamsters get the exercise they need. Rather than stocking the cage with two or three wheels, consider changing the design of your hamster wheel to accommodate multiple runners. A flying saucer hamster wheel features a flatter running surface than a traditional upright wheel and it is perfect for hamsters that like to run together such as dwarf hamsters.

Our pick for the best flying saucer hamster wheel is the Ware Flying Saucer Hamster Wheel. With 7.25-inch diameter, this wheel is large enough to accommodate more than one dwarf hamster and it features a solid running surface to keep your hamsters’ feet safe. Not only is it designed to give your hamsters hours of exercise and entertainment, but it is almost completely silent.

A review from Hamster Cages 4U comments that the solid running surface is safe for delicate hamster feet and it is easy to clean. The writer also notes that it is specially designed for smaller hamsters and it promotes healthy activity. The Ware Flying Saucer Hamster Wheel is also included in Dwarf Hamster Home’s list of the best hamster wheels for dwarf hamsters.

The Ware Flying Saucer Hamster Wheel has a 4-star rating on Amazon with more than 250 reviews. Hamster owners say that it works very well for smaller hamsters, though some larger hamsters had trouble figuring out how to use it. The wheel may also need occasional oiling to keep it silent.

Pros: Diameter large enough for multiple small hamsters, solid running surface, safe for hamster feet, provides hours of exercise and entertainment, runs very quietly, easy to clean, free-standing

Cons: Some hamsters may not like it, not completely silent, may be too small for Syrian hamsters

The best metal hamster wheel

Why you'll love it: The Prevue Pet Products Wire Mesh Hamster Wheel is simple, inexpensive, and easy to use.

These wheels are inexpensive and they come in a wide variety of different sizes so you can choose the one that works best for your hamster. Our top pick for the best metal hamster wheel is the Prevue Pet Products Wire Mesh Hamster Wheel.
