Emmy nominations come out this morning, with an announcement at 11:30 a.m. ET that you can watch live here. 

In 2018, there were 728 TV shows on the ballot and a daunting 2,372 performances. Members of the Television Academy had until June 26 to vote.

With so many shows and performances in the running, a lot of them won't get the recognition they deserve, even some of the year's best in TV. The slew of contenders especially doesn't help  shows in the drama category with "Game of Thrones" season seven being eligible this year. (It was excluded from the ceremony last year because the season premiered after voting already closed).

Award show favorites including "The Handmaid's Tale,""The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,""Atlanta," and "Westworld" are all in the running in addition to "Game of Thrones" this year, which means that some of the lesser-known gems might miss out on deserved nominations. We picked a few of the best.

The Emmy ceremony, hosted by Colin Jost and Michael Che, airs September 17.

From AMC's "Halt and Catch Fire" to Netflix's "American Vandal," here are 5 TV shows that deserve Emmys this year, but probably won't get any nominations:

"The Good Place"— NBC

Nominations it deserves: Best comedy series, best actor in a comedy series (Ted Danson), best supporting actress in a comedy series (D'Arcy Carden), best supporting actor in a comedy series (William Jackson Harper)

"The Good Place" is the most ambitious show on TV (including "Westworld"). Unfortunately, it didn't get any recognition at the Emmys in 2017. In season two, the writers delivered more and more unexpected narrative and character twists, and broadened its fictional world without, like "Westworld," confusing fans or making them exhausted from many dramatic eye-rolls. Its season-two finale teased a completely different format for the series that promises an even bigger, better, and more gutsy third season. The performances, particularly from Ted Danson and the supporting cast, make it even more special.

"Trust"— FX

Nominations it deserves: Best limited series, best supporting actor in a limited series (Brendan Fraser)

"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"— The CW

Nominations it deserves: Best comedy series, best actress in a comedy series (Rachel Bloom), best supporting actress in a comedy series (Donna Lynne Champlin)

In season three, "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" challenged itself more than ever. Within the first few episodes of the season, Rebecca Bunch (played by co-creator Rachel Bloom) attempts suicide. In the aftermath, she gets diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. While "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" isn't the first TV show to cover mental illness, it is the first to approach it in such a deeply personal and vulnerable way. Bloom, along with co-star Donna Lynne Champlin, keep the comedy and quirky spirit of the show afloat during an incredibly dramatic season of television. 

Blue skies, sun blazing — not usually words you associate with weather here, but they were the day I rode a private luxury train through the English countryside.

I was aboard the 14-carriage Belmond British Pullman— sister train to the famous Venice Simplon-Orient Express.

Punters can ride the lovingly-restored train around the UK, taking in beautiful scenery and eating delicious food as they go. More adventurous types can opt for murder mystery parties onboard.

Prices start from £203 ($268) per person for a brunch trip and go up to £561 ($741) for their experiences with celebrity chefs including two-star Michelin Raymond Blanc and Michel Roux Jr.

I arrived at London Victoria station, where the Belmond British Pullman is based, at 10 a.m. We were due to depart at 10:45 a.m. and return at 4 p.m. I was placed in Zena — the carriages on the Pullman have names, not numbers.

I had some time to kill, so I waited in Belmond's private lounge next to the platform, where travellers can sit with a tea or coffee while they wait for their train.

When the train arrived, it was immediately obvious how much time and money had been spent on its meticulous restoration. It was beautiful and faultless.

Relationships can be hard work. But what makes them worth it is when each person commits themselves to give their best self to the other person and towards making the relationship successful.

Feeling that your partner is not as committed to the relationship as you are can be exhausting. Shouldering the entire responsibility of making your relationship work is difficult and downright unfair.

Unsure if your partner is all in when it comes to your relationship? Here are 11 signs that you might be more committed in your relationship than your partner.

1. They always flake on you.

If you find yourself consistently making plans that your partner either cancels last minute or doesn’t even bother to show up to, that could be a red flag. The treat you as an afterthought and don’t bother to consider how their flakiness may make you feel. Too often you find yourself sitting around waiting to hear about plans from them, only to be ignored.

"Things come up on occasion, but if it becomes a regular pattern that's a problem," Venessa Marie Perry, PhD, MPH, founder, and chief relationship strategist of LoveWrite, a platform dedicated to changing the way we see, seek, and experience love, previously told INSIDER. "In addition, if they cancel at the last minute on a regular basis, they probably have a better offer."

2. They don’t support you back.

When your partner needs you, you try to be there in the best way you can be. However, when you need them, whether it’s for advice or comfort, they’re nowhere to be found or tell you it’s not a big deal and to move on.

"A person who can authentically be excited about your success and goals in life is someone who won't feel the need to hold you back,” Shannon Thomas, therapist and author of “Healing from Hidden Abuse: A Journey Through the Stages of Recovery from Psychological Abuse” told Business Insider.

3. They tend to forget big days like anniversaries.

While not every little thing needs to be celebrated, if your partner isn’t remembering major anniversaries and birthdays, that’s a sign they’re not committed to the relationship. Celebrating major moments together is part of what keeps the relationship strong and exciting.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is one of the highest-paid (and busiest) actors working today.

In 2017, he starred in three blockbusters: "Baywatch,""The Fate of the Furious," and "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle." And he raked in $65 million, second only to actor Mark Wahlberg.

Johnson has starred in at least one movie every year since his feature debut in 2001 in "The Mummy Returns"— an impressive accomplishment for the wrestler turned actor.

But how much have his movies made?

With "Skyscraper" coming to theaters this weekend, Business Insider ranked every movie Johnson has starred in by domestic box-office performance, adjusted for inflation — including April's "Rampage." We also included the original domestic gross and the original worldwide gross for comparison.

We excluded movies Johnson only has a cameo in or doesn't play a prominent role, like "Reno 911!: Miami." He also had a starring role in "Empire State," but it was a straight-to-DVD release.

Johnson has starred in box-office disappointments, but he's also been the face of blockbusters such as the "Fast and Furious" franchise and last year's "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle," which blew away expectations and has reached almost $1 billion worldwide.

Below is every movie Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has starred in, ranked by domestic box-office performance:

The world's oceans are rapidly rising as waters warm and ice sheets melt. Coastal locations, like the San Francisco Bay Area, will be among the hardest hit by the rising tide.

Beyond sea level rise, San Francisco is slowly sinking at a rate of up to 10 millimeters per year in a process called subsidence.

All this incoming water will have devastating consequences for the area, where pricey real estate developments and clusters of billion-dollar tech companies may be forced to relocate. 

Research group Climate Central has created a plug-in for Google Earth that illustrates how catastrophic an "extreme" sea-level rise scenario would be if the flooding happened now, based on projections in a 2017 report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA).

The group's estimates are based on the worst-case scenario forecasting from NOAA's data, and it puts into perspective how dangerous the situation could get for San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and the Greater Bay Area.

While Apple's brand-new office in Cupertino will be safe, companies based in Menlo Park, like Facebook, will be totally inundated (assuming these companies stay in the same place for the next several decades).

Check out below which tech companies could have their offices flooded if climate change continues unabated.

Here's San Francisco today.

And here's what the city's core may look like by 2100, if the worst-case scenario sea level rise pans out.

Linkedin's San Francisco office is just at the edge of the predicted flood plain, while Square and Twitter look safe — for now.

• Brunei is tiny, but it's one of the richest countries in the world.
• Its wealth is on full display in its capital city, Bandar Seri Begawan, where oil money pays for glittering mosques and extravagant architecture.
• Much of the city's population lives in a floating village, where the houses, schools, and restaurants are all on stilts.

Brunei is one of the smallest countries in the world — at 2,200 square miles, it's smaller than Delaware, and its population is lower than that of Omaha, Nebraska.

Yet the Southeast Asian nation is also one of the richest in the world, with a higher GDP per capita than countries like the United States, Germany, and Japan.

Brunei's wealth is on full display in its capital city Bandar Seri Begawan, where grandiose mosques and extravagant buildings dominate the townscape and tributes to the country's mega-rich sultan lie around every corner.

But Brunei's capital is also a city of contrasts. Despite its flashy architecture, the streets of Bandar Seri Begawan are eerily quiet, and after dark, the lack of nightlife and bustle turns the mood downright surreal.

Even stranger, nearly half of the city's population lives in a floating village where houses, schools, restaurants, and police stations all rest on stilts in the middle of the Brunei River.

Here's what it's like inside the capital of city of one of the most enigmatic countries in the world:

Many of the worst television shows originate from some highly questionable concepts that make you wonder how they ever got approved.

ABC's "Cavemen" series in 2007, for instance, was based on characters from a short-lived Geico commercial. And Fox's 2014 reality show "I Wanna Marry Harry" saw 12 women compete for the chance to marry a Prince Harry look-alike who they thought was the real Prince of Wales.

Both shows were critical disasters, and each lasted only one season — as many of the worst reality shows, dramas, and sitcoms have.

To find out which programs critics have hated the most, we turned to the review aggregator Metacritic for its list of the worst TV shows, which goes back to 1995. The list ranks show seasons by their composite critical reception.

Check out the 50 worst TV shows from least to most objectionable, according to critics:

Back in the days of Ancient Egypt, a carved stone was considered a very comfortable and supportive pillow, but in today’s world, you’re probably looking for something a bit softer. Luckily, you’ve got a lot more to choose from than the people of ancient times.

There’s a nearly dizzying array of pillows on display in any bed ‘n bath shop, or on the virtual shelves of your favorite online home store. That can make it a bit difficult to choose the best pillow for your needs. Is memory foam best? How about down? Or maybe you’re confused about all the different shapes: standard, contour, bolster. Well, have no fear, because we’ve done the research for you. 

While ultimately, there is no “best for everyone” pillow — personal preference plays a huge part in determining the pillow you’ll like the most — we checked out all the top recommendations from consumer buying websites, listened to what pillow buyers had to say, and even tried out some of the pillows ourselves to bring you the five picks most likely to send you off to the land of Nod comfortably. 

Sorting out the different pillow fills

• Memory foam: Originally created by NASA to cushion astronauts during reentry to Earth’s atmosphere, today, memory foam is one of the most popular types of pillow. It’s very supportive, conforms to your head and neck, is naturally hypoallergenic, and is especially good for those suffering from neck, shoulder, or upper body pain and stiffness. On the downside, it tends to be hot and is heavy.
• Shredded memory foam: Take memory foam, shred it into small chunks, and you have a supportive, firm, and comfortable pillow filling without the heat and sweat of a traditional memory foam. Shredded memory foam molds and conforms to your body, but if you want it even more customized to your liking, it’s easy to push or pull into just the right loft and shape for your sleeping pleasure.
• Down: Real down has a luxurious, “sleeping on a cloud” fluffiness that some people love, and others hate. Down is very soft and lightweight, so it easily molds to the perfect loft and shape for your needs. It’s not very supportive, however, and tends to be expensive.
• Polyester: Polyester is the typical fill in budget pillows. It’s soft, lightweight, and machine-washable, but not exceptionally supportive or firm. Still, it’s a good middle ground between the softness of down and the firmness of memory foam.
• Buckwheat hulls: Buckwheat hull pillows are not nearly as popular in the United States as they are in Asia, but they definitely have their fan club. A buckwheat hull pillow feels a lot like a beanbag; the hulls move freely inside the pillow, allowing you to adjust the shape, loft, and firmness to your liking. This is one of the best pillow fills for those who “sleep hot,” as well. However, these pillows are heavy, and the hulls can make a rustling sound as you move.
• Latex: There are two kinds of people in this world: those who love latex pillows, and those who hate them. For those who love them, the firm support with a slightly bouncy feel provides superior sleep comfort. For those who hate them, the usual complaint is that the pillow is just too firm. Latex pillows are heavy and usually expensive, but also very durable, naturally antimicrobial, and not too hot.

What’s your favorite sleeping position?

While just about everyone shifts position periodically during the night, generally, you’ll favor one sleep position over the rest. And when it comes to choosing the right pillow, your favorite sleep position plays a big role.

• Side sleepers: This is the most common sleep position and the most neutral one for your spine and neck. The right pillow for a side sleeper is lofty enough to fill the gap between neck and mattress and provides medium-firm to firm support. Any fill is suitable, as long as it’s the right loft for your body type.
• Stomach sleepers: This undeniably comfy sleep position is hard on your spine, forcing your neck to turn sharply to the side. If this is your favorite way to sleep, make it easier on your back with a pillow that is soft or has little loft. Buckwheat hulls or down pillows are the best choices for those who spend most of the night on their stomach.
• Back sleepers: If you like to sleep on your back, your perfect pillow has just enough loft to hold your head in alignment with your spine without craning your head forward or allowing it to drop back. A medium-firm density is best for this sleep position. Shredded memory foam, buckwheat hulls, or polyester are good fills for back sleepers.

Here are our top picks for the best pillows:

• Best overall: Coop Home Goods Adjustable Shredded Memory Foam Pillow
• Best hybrid pillow: Leesa Hybrid Pillow
• Best down pillow: Royal Hotel Goose Down Pillow
• Best buckwheat hull pillow: Zen Chi Buckwheat Hull Pillow

The best pillow overall

Why you'll love it: The Premium Adjustable Shredded Memory Foam Pillow from Coop Home Goods will have you sleeping like a baby with its perfect support and variable firmness.

“Ahhh.” That’s the sigh of contentment you’ll utter as your weary head meets the Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Memory Foam Pillow. It's the number-one best-selling pillow on Amazon, and it's filled with shredded memory foam. You’ll get the support and comfortable “sinking in” sensation of a traditional memory foam pillow, but none of the excessive heat or firmness that can be a problem with solid foam.

What makes the Coop Home Goods pillow particularly wonderful is that it’s adjustable. You can unzip the inner pillow cover to add or remove foam until the pillow is just the way you like it. It’s also hypoallergenic and dust-mite resistant, so you won’t wake up sniffly or congested. When it’s time to clean the pillow, no problem — Just toss it in your washing machine and dryer. We recommend that you add another pillow or a blanket to balance the load, along with a couple of clean tennis balls to help fluff up the foam.

Coop Home Goods’ proprietary shredded memory foam is CertiPUR-US certified, meaning it’s guaranteed to be free of chemicals and toxins you really don’t want to sleep with, such as formaldehyde, lead, mercury, ozone depleters, PBDEs, phthalates, and TCEP flame retardants. Manufactured in California, the pillow has a 30-day guarantee, so if you don’t love it, you can return it with no questions asked.

Sleep Like the Dead found that 89 percent of buyers love the Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Shredded Memory Foam Pillow. In fact, it’s the highest-rated memory foam pillow on the site. That matches Amazon’s numbers, where out of an astounding 12,200+ reviews, 85 percent give the pillow four or more stars.

Hundreds of buyers call this the best pillow they’ve ever owned, praise its breathability and adjustability, and love the way it supports their neck and head. As one pleased reviewer wrote, “It’s like sleeping on an adjustable cloud.” The most common negative comments were in regard to the pillow’s odor, which can be strong initially, but fades away within a day or two.

The Premium Adjustable Memory Foam Pillow has a polyester/bamboo cover that is cool and comfortable for sleep, and it's easily removed for washing. Inside, there’s an interlock knit cover to contain the foam. Both covers have zippers so you can access the foam for easy adjustment.

Pros: Adjustable loft, very supportive and comfortable, not too hot

Cons: Some initial odor, you have to let it expand from vacuum-sealed packaging

The best hybrid pillow

Why you'll love it: The Leesa Hybrid Pillow combines the best of both worlds with a firm gel pillow base and a soft quilted top layer.

The Leesa Hybrid pillow is the perfect pillow for anyone who wants the firm support of a memory foam pillow and the soft cushy feel of a down pillow at the same time. The combination seems impossible, but Leesa has done it.

The Hybrid Pillow has a down-like quilted pocket layer on one side, a firmer, ventilated gel comfort layer on the other side, and a removable pillow insert between these two layers. The multi-layered approach makes this a very customizable pillow.

You can take the quilted pillowtop part off and use the firmer pillow base, you can flip it over and sleep on the cool gel side, or you can take the firm center out and just use the fluffy quilted top as your pillow.

I've been sleeping on this pillow for months now and I love it. The gel pillow base is firm enough to make me feel like I'm still sleeping on my memory foam pillow, but the soft, quilted down alternative topper makes it more comfortable to rest my head on the pillow at night. I'm a side sleeper, so I need support, but sometimes my very firm memory foam pillow can hurt my ears if I stay on one side for too long (the human head is heavy!)

I'm not the only person who loves this pillow, either. Several other Insider Picks staffers tried it and loved it. Nonbiased Reviews also recommends it highly.

The only real downside here is that this pillow is expensive at $125 to $135. However, given how versatile it is and the fact that it will last you for years, it's well worth the price. It's also not a huge risk because you can use it for 100 nights and if you decide you hate it, you can return it — no questions asked.

If you still have qualms, Leesa's philanthropy should assuage your concerns a bit. The pillow is part of Leesa's One-Ten Program, in which one pillow is donated for every 10 sold. 

Pros: Firm pillow base, soft pillow top, adjustable design, cooling gel layer, 100 night trial

Cons: Expensive

Buy the Leesa Hybrid Pillow for $125 or $135

The best down pillow

Why you'll love it: Down isn’t just for the birds — The Royal Hotel Goose Down Pillow is so feathery-soft, you’ll dream you’re sleeping in the clouds.

Some inferior down pillows are really stuffed mostly with feathers. That means you run the risk of being poked by a stray quill. Plus, feathers are not as soft and fluffy as down. The Royal Hotel Goose Down Pillow is filled with 100 percent goose down, which is much fluffier than less desirable duck down, so you’ll enjoy a luxuriously comfortable night of sleep.

Royal Hotel doesn’t skimp on the down, either. With a 750 fill power and 35-ounce fill weight, you’re getting lots of downy comfort in a very supportive pillow that isn’t too soft and isn’t too firm. Plus, the down is sanitized to remove allergens and bacteria, so you can enjoy the pillow even if you are usually allergic to feathers. The cover of the pillow is 100 percent cotton, with a 500-thread count, so it’s soft and smooth, but strong enough to contain the down.

Amazon buyers love this pillow, with 83 percent of the 400+ reviewers giving it four or more stars. Reviewers say, “these pillows are wonderfully full and hold their loft through the night,” “the best pillows ever,” and “very nice pillows, well-filled and they do not collapse under the weight of your head.” Many customers commented that the pillows were firmer than they expected, which might be good or bad depending on your preference.

Sleep Like the Dead also likes the Royal Hotel down pillows, reporting that 87 percent of surveyed customers were very pleased with their purchase.

For down pillows, the price is actually quite reasonable, but Royal Hotel only sells the pillows by the pair, making it a more expensive purchase overall.

Pros: High quality down, firm, comfortable support.

Cons: Only sold by the pair, may have a faint “feathery” smell at first

Minting a million-dollar fortune isn't the remarkable feat it used to be.

It remains a marker of immense wealth, but the club is growing ever more crowded, with nearly 33 million people across the globe now laying claim to fortunes in excess of $1 million, according to estimates by Credit Suisse in its most recent Global Wealth Databook. 

The US alone claims 13.6 million adults with a net worth above $1 million — that's 41% of all the world's millionaires and more than the next eight countries combined. 

Switzerland, however, has the most millionaires per capita: Nearly 12% of the adults in the country are millionaires, or one out of every 8.6. 

The millionaire population isn't necessarily a indicator of broad wealth within a country. Despite having the most millionaires by a gaping margin, the median wealth for adults in the US is only $44,977. Of the 18 countries with more than 200,000 millionaires, that's a lower median wealth figure than all but Germany ($42,833), Sweden ($39,692), and China ($4,885). 

Below, Business Insider has ranked the 18 countries with the most millionaires — that's all fortunes above $1 million, including the billionaires — based on Credit Suisse's annual wealth report (you can read the full report here). We've also included the country's population and median wealth for comparison purposes.

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.

This story was originally published on April 9, 2018.

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."

Getting the attention of investors isn't easy. 

Venture capitalists turn down thousands of offers from prospective entrepreneurs each year and receive multiple funding requests every day.

While having industry connections undoubtedly helps, cold emails, if done right, can be a very effective method of spearheading a company's fundraising efforts.

But how do you get the attention of a busy VC whose inbox is glutted with requests?

Niv Dror, founder of San Francisco-based firm, Shrug Capital, has been on both sides of the equation. Dror singlehandedly raised his own fund with contributions from high profile VCs like Founder Fund's Cyan Banister as well as Marc Andreessen and Chris Dixon of Andreessen Horowitz.

In an effort to raise his own fund, Dror spent a lot of time thinking about what makes the perfect pitch.

Now that he's receiving scores of cold emails from entrepreneurs by the day, Dror is offering his insights to founders seeking funding. 

Here are his tips on effectively pitching an investor:

1. Keep your subject line simple.

"If you have some really clever-sounding subject line, it comes off as gimmicky," said Dror. "It needs to be authentic."

Your best option in getting an investor to open your email is to keep your subject line as straightforward and simple as possible.

2. Make it personal.

You should be focusing on cultivating a personal connection from the very first sentence, suggests Dror.

"Make it very clear that it's personal. Offer up a sentence about yourself. The person on the other end of the email is wondering, 'Who are you? Why are you emailing me?' Give your name, say what you do, and then get straight to the point."

3. Don't apologize, ever.

Dror says he often receives emails from people who apologize for taking up his time.

While the person sending the email might think the apology makes them seem more considerate, Dror says it's more likely to rub him the wrong way. 

"When you email an investor, don’t be like 'Hey, sorry for emailing you. By the way, do you want to invest $100,000 of your own money in this thing I'm making?'"

The issue with this, says Dror, is that it makes it seem as though the sender of the email doesn't value their own time.

"When people say things like, 'Hey, sorry for emailing, I know you're very busy,' it shows that they don’t respect their own time. You're essentially telling the other person: 'I don't value my own time. I value your time more. Your time is more important than mine.'"

• Now, there is only one Blockbuster left in all of the United States. 

Blockbuster isn't extinct quite yet — but it is almost there. 

While roughly a dozen Blockbusters remained open across the United States in 2017, all but one has now closed. 

On Thursday, Blockbuster announced that the final two locations in Alaska — long the last frontier for the retailer thanks to long winters and slow WiFi — will close next week. And, in January, the last Blockbuster in Texas finally shut its doors, the New York Daily News reported.

Now, just one Blockbuster remains: a holdout in Bend, Oregon.

Watching the Wimbledon Championships live is an experience like no other in sport.

Wimbledon is the oldest of the tennis majors and takes place at the prestigious All England Club every summer — usually for a two week period from late June to early July.

There are multiple matches going on at the same time, so fans who arrive early can enjoy tennis from 11 a.m. onwards.

However, the traditions at the tournament are what really makes it — from white outfits to Pimms to strawberries and cream.

Nowhere is this more apparently than in the VIP area, which adds a whole new element of grandeur to the sporting festivities — free Champagne included.

As Business Insider UK's Sports Reporter, I attended Wimbledon in the VIP area. Keep scrolling to see what it was like.

Welcome to the Wimbledon Championships, the oldest tennis tournament in the world and one of the most prestigious sports venues in England. As Business Insider UK's Sports Reporter, I was invited to a VIP day at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London, so I decided to detail the experience from beginning to end.

I alighted at Southfields underground train station, which is on the District Line network and is approximately 45 minutes south-west of Business Insider's bureau in London. As soon as you get off the train, you immediately get caught up in the Wimbledon spirit as the station is decorated with themed advertisements.

Just outside the station there is a black cab taxi service that can shuttle fans to the Wimbledon gates, at a cost of £2.50 ($3.31) for a single trip. Not bad, to be fair.

There are plenty of ways to meet people nowadays, through friends, at work, at clubs, or on an array of apps. But just as there are many ways to find happiness, there are many ways to be hurt, too.

Never has this been more obvious than in the world of dating — particularly through the various dating apps on the market. Because of the constant rules and games to keep up with, it can feel harder than ever to find someone to settle down with.

There are a lot of lists out there on the latest dating trends and terms, so I've scoured the internet to find every single one you're ever likely to come across.

From breadcrumbing to ghosting, love bombing to hoovering, they're all here.

Hope it helps — it's rough out there.

Benching

Before you have "the talk" with your new partner about whether you are in an exclusive relationship, you are at risk of being "benched." Like the sports term, where players are left on the bench as reserves, you might find yourself being someone's back-up option as they continue to look around. They may come back to you if nobody better comes along, but that doesn't give one high hopes for the relationship, does it?

Breadcrumbing

"Breadcrumbing" is when somebody seems to be pursuing you, but really they have no intention of being tied down to a relationship. It might be difficult to tell in the early stages, especially if you met online, because you'll receive a series of texts that suggest they are interested. However, it soon becomes clear that this person has no intention of following through with anything they've said. They just like leaving you breadcrumbs, like a trail in Hansel and Gretel, to string you along.

Catch and release

This technique is favoured by people who love the thrill of the chase. They'll put all their effort into flirtatious texts, and trying to date you, until they "catch" you. When you finally agree to the date, they immediately lose interest and seek out their next target. The culprit clearly gets something out of it, but for the victim it's just confusing — and really irritating.

A giant orange balloon depicting Trump as an angry baby in a nappy has been launched in London.

The 6-meter (19.7-feet) tall balloon was tethered to the ground over Parliament Square, beside the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, for two hours on Friday morning.

Trump has complained that the blimp — paid for by anti-Trump protestors — had made him "feel unwelcome."

The president is in Britain from Thursday to Sunday for an informal "working" visit, where he has met Prime Minister Theresa May and is due to meet the Queen. Most of his engagements in Britain will be outside of London to avoid protesters.

Take a look at the balloon:

Here's what the deflated balloon looked like before it was blown up.

It needed five canisters of helium to blow up the entire balloon, HuffPost UK reporter Chris York tweeted from Westminster.

• Happiness during retirement depends not just on how much money you have saved, but also on where you live.
• Bankrate recently released a list of the best and worst states to retire in.
• You may want to think twice before retiring in these states, where costs are high, healthcare quality is subpar, and the weather is questionable.

Deciding on a place to retire is almost as hard as building the savings it takes to get there.

After all, you've been planning for the golden years your whole life (hypothetically, at least), so you don't want to end up living in a place that doesn't help you make the most of your money or your leisure time.

According to a 2017 Bankrate survey, 47% of Americans would consider moving when they retire. In light of this statistic, Bankrate recently released a list of the best and worst states for retirement. To determine this ranking, they looked at seven categories that affect retirees and compared them across every state with the help of multiple sources. Each ranking was weighted by their importance, determined by the survey respondents.

Turns out, not every state is a prime spot for a retiree. Those that ranked lower on the list generally had low rankings for cost of living, taxes, healthcare quality, and weather. Even if a state had a high ranking in one category, such as Louisiana, which ranked third for weather, it wasn't always enough to compensate for low rankings in the other categories.

Below, see which states you may want to think twice about retiring in based on their costs, weather, and healthcare options.

Lonely Planet has released its Best in Asia list for the third year in a row.

After combing through thousands of recommendations for destinations to visit over the next 12 months, South Korea's "second city," Busan, which is situated on the country's south coast, took the top spot.

"A stunning confluence of scenery, culture and cuisine, Busan packs an eclectic offering of activities to suit all travelers: hike hills to Buddhist temples, settle into sizzling hot springs and feast on seafood at the country's largest fish market," Lonely Planet stated.

However, East Asia's Culture City for 2018 isn't the only vibrant place on the list — and the continent certainly has plenty to offer.

From India to China and Uzbekistan to Nepal, scroll down for the 10 places in Asia you need to visit in 2018, ranked in ascending order.

We've been living in the age of Peak TV for years and there's more to watch than ever before.

The Emmy Awards are supposed to represent the best that television has to offer, but that's not always the case. With more than 9100 submissions across 102 categories, Emmy voters had a lot to consider in 2018 and they definitely didn't get to watch it all.

On Thursday, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the 2018 nominees, and while they mostly got it right recognizing "The Americans,""Game of Thrones,""This Is Us," "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," and "Atlanta," there are a few nominations that are throwing us for a loop.

Here are the shows and stars that really haven't earned their place in the this year's Emmys race.

"Stranger Things 2" (Netflix)

The second season of the 80s-set Netflix series was fun to watch, but "Stranger Things 2" had a lot of problems, including annoying new characters and a bloated episode count that dragged the story on for far too long.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" (HBO)

HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" returned for its ninth season in 2017 and felt like a relic from another era after what amounted to a long six-year hiatus. Critics largely agreed that the show felt out of touch, tired, and dated in today's TV landscape. But Emmy voters seem to think otherwise having nominated the show and its creator, Larry David, for awards once again.

"Westworld" (HBO)

The first season of "Westworld" was fantastic and deserved to be celebrated as such, but season two was a downright mess. The HBO show became too complicated for its own good and viewers lost interest along the way. While many of the show's cast members picked up nominations that are deserved, the series' second season as a whole really shouldn't be lauded as good television.

The world seems to be made up of two types of people: extroverts and introverts. Typically, people think of introverts as shy, anti-social people – but that isn’t always the case. In fact, introversion often has a lot to do with one’s energy levels and personal preferences. Here, 12 Reddit users sound off on what they wish others knew about their personalities.

Of course, these are just for fun, as INSIDER cannot authenticate these stories.

• Photographer Eric Lafforgue visited North Korea six times to take photos of daily life in the isolated totalitarian country. 
• Lafforgue was banned after his sixth trip to North Korea, in 2012, after he made an off-handed comment about a group of Spanish tourists visiting the country.
• Much of what he saw in North Korea was the more privileged and affluent areas of North Korea, like Pyongyang, but he always requested to visit far-flung destinations in the country. He found that the further he traveled, the more he saw the reality of poverty in which most North Koreans live.

After publishing hundreds of photos from six visits to North Korea, it was an offhand comment that got French photographer Eric Lafforgue banned.

Lafforgue had seen Spanish tourists wearing Kim Jung Il shirts and told a friend that they likely wouldn't wear them in Barcelona. The Spaniards heard it and told the guide. One month after returning from the trip, he received a letter with screen captures of his photos, saying they were not good for North Korea and that he could not return.

That was in 2012.

"They know that when I come, I take pictures. They prefer the tourism money, until it causes a problem for one of the people in charge," Lafforgue told Business Insider.

Lafforgue has always been well aware of this, but throughout the years, he's played "their game," as he calls it, to produce some incredible photography. 

“The North Korean regime controls everything that goes out of the country,” he said. “Even me, when they let me take a picture of kids smiling, its because it's good for the country. I take those pictures because there is a real part of the people that are happy and I want to document that ... North Koreans are brainwashed, but they live like everybody in the world.” 

Lafforgue shared a stunning selection of photos from his many trips to North Korea with us. Many of the photos are available in a calender Lafforgue produced with North Korea-watching website NK News.

This is Pyongyang airport, where Lafforgue flew into.

All tourists must go on a guided tour when they visit North Korea. According to Lafforgue, the guides show more to tourists than stated journalists, so he always declared himself a tourist.

Each time Lafforgue visited, the guides tried to take him on the same "classic" tour to the expected sites.
