"The human brain starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public."—George Jessel

You have to give a big, important presentation in just 15 minutes. Your heart is racing, your palms are damp — you're starting to panic.

It's completely normal. In fact, most speakers, beginners and veterans alike, readily admit to feeling nervous in the moments leading up to a big speech or presentation.

Darlene Price, president, of Well Said, Inc. and author of "Well Said! Presentations and Conversations That Get Results," says instead of trying to lose the butterflies, you should aim to leverage them. "The adrenaline surge can fuel your body with the energy and enthusiasm necessary for a great performance," she explains.

Whether you're stepping to the front of the room to speak to just a few people, or making a grand entrance in a ballroom to address thousands, here are 13 ways to effectively use the 15 minutes before you go up to prepare your body and mind for peak performance:

1. Talk positively to yourself.

Claim your success before you begin, Price says.

"Let's learn from the experts in sports psychology. They've proven that an athlete's positive self-talk prior to and during a performance consistently creates a higher win rate," she explains.

In the minutes leading up to your presentation, say over and over within yourself, "I am a dynamic speaker!" "I am enthusiastic and engaging!" "I am prepared and confident!"

"Write your own set of self-affirmations and confidently declare them," she advises. "Your words will create a self-fulling prophecy."

2. Use the restroom.

"First thing's first," Price says. "Needing the toilet when you wouldn't normally 'have to go' is a common reaction to anxiety and pre-speech jitters. Why take chances? Plan ahead and use the restroom in the moments prior to going on stage."

3. Meet and greet the audience before you speak.

Shake hands and talk with as many people as possible ahead of time. "This shows the audience you're approachable and personable," Price explains.

"You may even learn a few names, issues, and stories to weave into your presentation. Plus, having conversations with your listeners ahead of time transforms scary 'public' speaking into natural, relaxed 'personal' speaking."

Britain is facing an influx of vicious seagulls that are so big they can kill dogs.

That may sound like like a tabloid headline, but it's a real issue in many UK coastal towns, which have become infested with the feral beasts.

Seagulls used to live largely out at sea, eating fish. But a huge population of gulls has evolved its behaviour since the 1970s to live in cities, feeding off rubbish, human food, and — occasionally — picking off live pets from people's back gardens. These urban gulls don't bother going out to sea much anymore.

In May, a seagull pecked a chihuahua to death in Devon. A Yorkshire Terrier was killed by swooping gulls in Cornwall. A pet tortoise was eaten like a crab in Liskeard. Gulls in London prey on live pigeons in Hyde Park by holding them under water with their webbed claws, in order to eat them.

They kill sheep in Ireland. They can attack pensioners, leaving them bloodied. There are even lawyers that specialise in seagull injury claims.

The problem is that seagulls are meat-eating and omnivorous. With wingspans reaching 5 feet 7 inches, they are like flying dogs, with the appetites of rats. In certain seaside towns like Brighton, it is impossible to eat food outdoors — gulls will swoop down and steal it from your hands. Their droppings fall like pints of whitewash, defacing everything.

Even the Prime Minister has called for a "big conversation" about it.

This is the story of why the seagulls suddenly decided to ditch the sea and come live with us.

Small towns across Britain are being terrorised by feral seagulls. These headlines are from Brighton's famously sarcastic local newspaper.

Don't laugh. Seagulls are fearless and they will fight you for your food. They win, too.

They've swooped down and killed two family dogs in the seaside regions of Devon and Cornwall in the past two months, and left a Cornwall pensioner with head wounds. This is how the BBC covered it.

Luis Perez may be legally blind, but he's able to take incredible photos thanks to the iPhone.

Perez is a higher education learning consultant based in Florida who has a condition called retinitis pigmentosa, which gives him tunnel vision. He only has about eight degrees of vision, and his condition could eventually result in total blindness.

But thanks to accessibility features on the iPhone, he's found a calling as an amateur photographer. Specifically, Perez uses an iPhone feature called VoiceOver, which dictates what's on phone's screen as visually impaired users swipe and tap around. It gives them the ability to do everything on an iPhone that a sighted person can.

Perez shares most of his work on Instagram, and we've shared some of his best work below.

NOW WATCH: Jennifer Lawrence is all over the place in this awesome trailer for 'Joy'

The American Southwest is in the midst a catastrophic drought.

It’s so bad, in fact, that it’s caused Lake Mead — a massive oasis in the middle of Mojave Desert formed by the Hoover Dam — to recede to the lowest levels ever seen. As of June, water levels were 154 feet below normal.

For the adventurous few, the lower water level is a chance to get closer to history than ever before, up close and personal with a B-29 bomber that has sat on the lake bed for over 70 years.

The B-29 “Superfortress” played many roles in World War II, including carrying the atomic bomb, but this particular plane didn’t make it to the Pacific theater, or even out of Nevada ...

In 1948, while on a secret mission high above the Mojave Desert, this B-29 crashed with five crew members on board, all of whom survived. The plane didn't fare as well.

Today, over 70 years later, the plane remains untouched on the bottom of Lake Mead. Thanks to falling water levels, it’s becoming easier to find and explore.

It turns out that family and friends aren't the only ones who like to spoil you on your birthday — a bunch of restaurants (and a few other retail spots) offer generous gifts on your big day.

I wanted to see whether these places stuck to their word, so on July 14 — my 23rd birthday — I schlepped across Manhattan with my coworker Arielle Berger, who was also celebrating her birthday in July, to see what I could accumulate.

A bit of planning is involved if you want to rack in the freebies. Most places require you to sign up for their email club or rewards program at least a week before your birthday (I registered three days in advance, which cost me in some situations).

We stopped at 15 places overall and had a pretty impressive success rate. Here's how the day went:

SEE ALSO: 30 things you can buy for a dollar

1. Starbucks Coffee

I kicked off the birthday bright and early at Starbucks, where you can get a free drink if you're a member of the Starbucks Rewards program. I'm not a member but thought I'd give it a try anyway and rely on birthday cheer.

A combination of early-morning Tuesday blues and me not actually being a rewards member sent me out the door empty-handed.

It's worth a try — you have nothing to lose — but don't enter Starbucks with high hopes on your special day if you're not a rewards member.

If you have time to plan ahead, sign up here. (Note: You must register a Starbucks gift card to join.)

2. Jamba Juice

I took a morning break from work and headed over to Jamba Juice, which advertises a free birthday smoothie for all Jamba Insiders (you can sign up free here).

I signed up ahead of time, but not enough in advance. You have to sign up at least a week before your birthday to capitalize on the freebie.

As a new member of the Insider club, however, you receive $3 off your first visit, so my $6 "Greens 'n Ginger" smoothie ended up being about $3.  

While I hadn't actually received anything free yet, I was getting closer, and already planning next year's excursion.

3. CVS

On my way back from Jamba, I stopped in CVS, where you get $3 ExtraBucks on your birthday if you join its Beauty Club.

The two cashiers could not have been nicer about it being my birthday, but I needed to present a coupon that should have come in the mail in order to use the $3 ExtraBucks. Once again, I had signed up too late in the ballgame, and I ended up dishing out a few dollars of my own to buy a Vitamin Water.  

By 11:30 a.m. on my "freebie day" I had already spent about $5 and had yet to actually get anything free. 

Last week Tech Insider spoke with video game music aficionado Emily Reese. She loves video games, loves music, and loves to talk about the new and unlikely creativity that emerges when the two art forms meet. That intersection is the subject of her show "Top Score," a Minnesota Public Radio program that focuses on video game music. Really!

We asked Reese to send over a list of her favorite game soundtracks, and the results are absolutely overflowing with good ideas.

"There are so many more but I feel like this is getting out of control!" she wrote, "TOO MANY AMAZING SOUNDTRACKS!!!"

Collected here is a selection from that list. These scores broke technical or creative boundaries, and added depth to games – some of which weren't so great otherwise. Nearly all the soundtracks are available on SoundCloud, iTunes, or Bandcamp. Because each one was crafted for a particular mood and activity, we've included some suggestions as to how you might bring them into your own life.

If after reading this you want to learn more about the craft of video game scoring, you can visit the "Top Score" show page here.

The 1986 "Metroid" soundtrack was a brooding rebellion against arcade-pop.

When "Metroid" came out, game design was something very different than it was today, and soundtrack designers had to be hardware technicians as much as musicians. Composer Hirokazu Tanaka studied electrical engineering in college before joining Nintendo.

In a 2002 interview with "Gamasutra," he described writing individual 1s and 0s onto a chip. The soundtracks of that era had to take up about as much memory space as these few paragraphs of text. Where other composers used that technology to generate catchy tunes for the arcade, Tanaka had other interests:

I had a concept that the music for Metroid should be created not as game music, but as music the players feel as if they were encountering a living creature. I wanted to create the sound without any distinctions between music and sound effects ...the melody inMetroids only used at the ending after you killed the Mother Brain. That's because I wanted only a winner to have a catharsis at the maximum level. For the reason, I decided that melodies would be eliminated during the gameplay. By melody here I mean something that someone can sing or hum.

In other words, Tanaka crafted a reponsive, mood-setting soundtrack that behaved more like a movie score. That legacy persists in many of today's best games.

"Super Mario Land" had a trippy, glitchy soundtrack to match its oddball gameplay.

"Super Mario Land" was an early GameBoy release that broke the mold of the Mario franchise. Notable for its distinct style and artwork – as well as the strategic innovations necessary to scale NES gameplay to the (then) new, handheld world – it featured another Tanaka sound creation. Its melody is warm and inviting, looping without feeling repetitive. And the glitchy, syncopated beat has a deliberately incomplete feeling that propels you forward through the game looking for resolution. These elements combine to produce the sort of music you might actually want to listen to on a tiny, lo-fi paleo-mobile device.Youtube Embed:

Also good for: a cheerful Saturday morning stroll; a video of your dog playing on a beach.

"Kirby's Dreamland" played a fun, relentlessly upbeat march.

"Kirby" is, in many ways, "Mario"-lite. Both are "platforming" games that have players move from left to right across a screen, jumping and dodging to avoid obstacles. But where "Mario" follows a mustachioed plummer through increasingly difficult stages into some hardcore gaming, "Kirby" features an adorable puffy bubble's much less frustrating quest. The series keeps things cute, friendly, and simple enough not to get frustrating.

Masahiro Sakurai, who went on to create "Super Smash Bros," created "Kirby's Dreamland" in 1992 for the GameBoy console. The first game in the series, it featured a peppy, fun soundtrack by Jun Ishikawa to match its cheerful disposition.

'How to Win at the Sport of Business' by Mark Cuban

In "How to Win at the Sport of Business," Dallas Mavericks owner and "Shark Tank" investor Cuban fleshes out his best insights on entrepreneurialism from his personal blog.

He writes candidly about how he progressed from sleeping on his friends' couches in his 20s to owning his own company and becoming a multi-billionaire. It's a story of commitment and perseverance — Cuban writes that even though he didn't know much about computers, he beat his competition because he spent so much time learning about the software his company sold.

Job hunting can be a frustrating odyssey of nos and non-responses, and applying for gigs can feel like screaming into a void. (Are you alive? Are they alive? Is anyone out there?)

To combat that, many job seekers with coding and design experience go to extreme — and extremely creative — lengths to stand out and demonstrate their skills.

It's a risk: Not every hiring manager is going to be on board with an unconventional approach. But as the creators of these masterpieces prove, a clever résumé can also yield big rewards.

From designing a personal Amazon page (complete with reviews) to making a candy bar wrapper to showcase job skills, here are some of the most creative résumés we've ever seen:

Vivian Giang contributed to an earlier version of this article.

Omondi Abudho designed a résumé that folds into a box.

Abudho is a Kenyan art director and photographer who is well-known for his photography, but he's also picked up quite a bit of attention for his résumé.

"Believe it or not, I got the idea while buying a pack of coffee," he tells Business Insider. "Java Coffee, one of Kenya's best, to be exact."

He designed a résumé that potential employers could cut out and fold into a box, complete with creative "nutrition" facts. The result was immediate. He got three good job offers from top agencies in Kenya. He's currently a creative partner at Scanad in Nairobi.

Simone Fortunini modeled his impressive résumé after Google Analytics.

An Amazon online marketing manager, Fortunini created a résumé that actually looks like a Google Analytics page. 

In makes sense, he tells Business Insider: his work involves online marketing and advertising campaigns, and Google Analytics is the basic tool of the industry.

Bar graphs represent skills and languages; a Google Analytics-style map shows his educational background, and his "Experience" section allows potential employers to click on the various positions to get more information about each of his roles.

But while his original intent was to show off his technological expertise and online marketing savvy, he says the project brought another, less expected benefit. "Trying to analyze my professional path like a 'web site performance' has been hard but helpful to get an objective point of view about current achievements and future goals." 

Kelly Weihs created a résumé made to look like a Wild West wanted poster.

Weihs's résumé stands out in a sea of identical white papers thanks to its Western, vintage look.

"I wanted to have fun creating a résumé that was different from everyone else," she says. "I love historically inspired design. For me, it's just a lot of fun to look to the past for ideas."

She applied to her current place of employment using this résumé, and immediately saw results. Her employer "quite liked the résumé," she says.

The last time we saw a new Apple TV was way back in 2012.

So now that we've become accustomed to yearly updates, an updated model is overdue.

But Apple apparently felt little reason to give it an update. After all, all it had to do was stream and play video, and the Apple TV could do that just fine.

But the world is changing. Ultra-high definition 4K TVs are becoming more common-place and cable companies are getting worried about cord-cutting internet TV streaming services, like Sling and Sony's PlayStation Vue.

The current version of the Apple TV can't handle any of that at the moment, and there were rumors Apple was working on its own internet TV streaming service.

It seems that Apple finally has a good reason to release a new model.

We're now approaching the time for Apple's annual September event where we're expecting to finally see the new Apple TV, according to John Paczkowski of BuzzFeed, along with the new iPhone.

We're expecting a lot of rather monumental changes. Here are some of the most plausible rumors about the next Apple TV upgrade.

It'll have a new sleeker, thinner design.

BuzzFeed reports that the new Apple TV design will be "more polished." That could mean that it'll have a sleeker look, with a potentially thinner profile. 

This is entirely likely, especially when we consider the size difference between the first Apple TV and the current model, which is a lot smaller and sleeker.

It might come with a new remote with a touchpad.

Back in May of this year, Brian X. Chen of The New York Times reported that the new Apple TV might come with a new remote with a touchpad that would give you a similar way to navigate around the Apple TV as the touchpad on a laptop.  

The report suggested that the new remote will still have the two main buttons for the play/pause and menu functions, but that it would be slightly thicker than the current remote. 

It might have Siri for voice commands.

The BuzzFeed report and several rumors before it suggested that Siri could also be included.

Siri on the new Apple TV may allow you to navigate around the user interface using your voice. For example, you could command the Apple TV to go to the Netflix app without touching the remote.

He's been deliberately destroying iPhones since 2011 in all kinds of creative and diabolical ways.

TechRax destroyed a $10,000 gold Apple Watch with a pair of neodymium magnets. They collide together with a force so strong they can crush the bones in your hand.

The watch was crushed.

But somehow it was still working a little bit. (And yeah, the video went viral, viewed over 3 million times.)

Future U.S. President: Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky

Parents: Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky

Presidential daughter Chelsea Clinton and her husband, hedge-funder Marc Mezvinsky, gave birth to their first child, Charlotte, in September 2014.

If this baby is anything like his or her grandparents, a former U.S. President (Bill Clinton) and a potential U.S. President (Hillary Clinton), she has a good shot at being president, too.

Future English Monarchs: Prince George and Princess Charlotte

Parents: Kate Middleton and Prince William

The former First Daughter and husband Henry Hager welcomed their baby girl in April 2013.

As the  first grandchild of a former U.S. President (George W. Bush) and the great grandchild of another former U.S. President (George HW Bush), this baby will have some serious political clout.

This spring, Bush Hager, a special correspondent for Today, announced that the couple was expecting a second child.

CARACAS (Reuters) - One person was killed and dozens were detained following looting of supermarkets in Venezuela's southeastern city of Ciudad Guayana, the state governor said on Friday, amid the ongoing food shortages in the recession-hit OPEC nation.

Shoppers seeking scarce consumer staples including milk, rice and flour broke into a supermarket warehouse on Friday morning, leading businesses in the area to shut their doors, local newspaper Correo del Caroni reported.

State governor Francisco Rangel of the ruling Socialist Party said the looting was politically motivated.

"A group of armed motorcyclists arrived and said they were going to loot certain establishments," he told Venezuelan television station Globovision. "I'm sure it wasn't spontaneous but rather planned with a political motive."

Gustavo Patinez, 21, died of a gunshot wound to the chest, Correo del Caroni reported, adding that 60 people were detained.

Shops in the surrounding area were either shuttered or protected by national guard and police.

Low oil prices and an increasingly dysfunctional set of currency and price controls have spurred shortages of consumers goods and caused tempers to flare in supermarket lines across the country.

President Nicolas Maduro blames opposition leaders and businesses, saying they are waging an "economic war" against his government by raising prices and hoarding goods. Critics say the problems are due to a failing state-led economic model.

The world powers and Iran struck a deal on Tuesday to curb Iran's nuclear program for at least 10 years in exchange for billions of dollars in relief from international sanctions.

One of the most talked-about side effects of the deal is the reentry of Iranian crude on the global markets.

Interestingly, although Iran has a huge amount of oil, the Islamic republic doesn't even make it into the top three when it comes to proven crude oil reserves.

Using the data provided by Barclays commodities analyst Michael Cohen, we put together a list of the 10 countries sitting on the greatest amounts of crude oil. Check them out below.

10. Nigeria

Proven crude oil reserves (bbl):
37.14 billion

Oil has been the dominant source of government revenues in Nigeria since the 1970s. However, the country struggled following last year's collapse in oil prices. And now Nigeria stands to "face extra competition" from the reintroduction of Iranian oil on the markets.

9. Libya

Proven crude oil reserves (bbl):
48.47 billion

Libya's economy is almost completely dependent on energy. Sales of oil and gas plunged sharply in 2014 after huge protest disruptions at oil ports.

8. Russia

Proven crude oil reserves (bbl): 
80 billion

Although Moscow stands to benefit geopolitically following the Iran deal, the return of Iranian oil to the markets is bad news for them as Tehran could go after one of Russia's European markets.

“Iran is going to be competing in Europe head-on with Russia,” Ed Morse, the head of commodities research at Citigroup, told Bloomberg.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg just announced that he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are expecting their first child together.

Zuckerberg and Chan are college sweathearts. They tied the knot on May 19, 2012, one day after Facebook's IPO.

The wedding was a surprise for all of the guests, who thought they were attending a medical school graduation party for Chan.

The couple met in line for the bathroom at a frat party 11 years ago. Now Chan has been dubbed the "first lady" of Facebook, and the pair have been extremely generous with their fortune.

Here's a summary of their time together, as told through their Facebook timelines.

Marie Kondo is a lifestyle celebrity in Japan known for helping people decrease clutter and straighten up their homes for good.

But her de-cluttering methods aren't limited to homes — they can be used to tidy up any space, including offices.

Kondo's book — "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing"— is full of tips on discarding clutter and storing what's left. In it, she encourages readers to clean everything in one fell swoop and only keep the things they truly love.

"Even in the workspace, at your job, your things should still spark joy,"Kondo told Fast Company in May.

Earlier this year she told Business Insider that you can tell when something sparks joy when you "feel your body go upward." If something doesn't make you happy when you touch it, Kondo said you should "thank it for its service" and get rid of it.

"When you choose things based on your real feeling, you can choose the right amount of items to totally fit [in your space]," Kondo said. "That is surprising for everyone — this is part of the magic of tidying up."

Her book became a top seller this year and even earned her a spot on Time's 2015 "Top 100 Influential People" list. 

And she's developed a fan base so huge, her followers are flooding Instagram with photos of their "kondo-ed" spaces.

Bellow you'll see inspiring images of so-called "kondo-ed" offices that people posted on Instagram and instructions on how to conquer your own workspace.

This might be what your office currently looks like right now. The point of kondo-ing is to surround yourself only with things that you love.

Before you begin, understand that you should go through all your possessions one category at a time: Start with books and magazines, then papers, then miscellaneous items, or Komono, and end with mementos.

The Associated Press and partner British Movietone have made 120 years of historical news footage available online for the first time ever by uploading 550,000 YouTube videos.

That adds up to over one million minutes of footage.

On the AP's new Youtube Channel and the British Movietone Channel, people now have instant access to footage of some of the most pivotal moments in modern history, including news footage of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby, and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., as well as videos of the Titanic leaving an Irish port, the stock market crash of 1929, and the the bombing of Hiroshima.

The Washington Post reports that before putting this footage on Youtube, most of it was only available to be seen in historical archives or museums. 

Here are 17 of the best videos released by the AP:

NOW WATCH: How to tell if your Cuban cigars are real or fake

Your 20s are a time for figuring out what you want from life.

Mistakes are unavoidable, but the truly successful learn from these setbacks and move on all the wiser.

We asked entrepreneurs, including a few "Shark Tank" investors and the cofounders of popular retailer Warby Parker, to share the most important lesson they learned in their 20s.

Here's what they said.

Mark Cuban, a "Shark Tank" investor and the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, learned that any limitations on personal growth are self-imposed.

The billionaire investor made the biggest deal of his life when he sold his company Broadcast.com to Yahoo for $5.7 billion in Yahoo stock in 1999.

In his 20s, Cuban developed the all-encompassing self-confidence that's made him successful. He learned that if he stopped making excuses and got to work, "with time and effort I could learn any new technology that was released."

Kevin O'Leary, a "Shark Tank" investor, learned the importance of asking yourself the hard questions.

O'Leary's second business, the software company Softkey, acquired The Learning Company in 1995 and then adopted its name. Four years later, "Mr. Wonderful" and his business partner Michael Perik sold the company to Mattel for $4.2 billion.

But even today, O'Leary says his true passion has always been photography.

As a young man, he spoke with his stepdad George about what he was going to do with his life. He realized that the key question for people starting out is, "What are you willing to do in order to be what you want to be?"

"It's not enough to say you want to be a photographer, or an actress, or a writer," he says. "You have to want to do all the necessary difficult things that are required to support that goal."

He concluded that he wasn't going to spend his 20s struggling to support himself as a full-time photographer. Now, supported by a career in business, he says, he has the luxury of being able to build a photo portfolio without financial concerns.

Jessie Goldenberg, the founder of Nomad, learned that big risks are sometimes worth taking.

Goldenberg graduated from NYU's prestigious film program in 2010 and got a job working at CBS. It seemed as if her career path was set, but she considered the dream she had of opening her own fashion boutique. Lacking the funds or credit history to make such an investment, she instead raised money to start her own fashion truck, a mobile fashion retailer she named Nomad.

Nomad hit the streets of New York City in 2013 and Goldenberg says she broke even by the end of the year. She's been successfully working on growing Nomad's exposure and profits since.

"One thing I've learned is that your 20s are a time to take and embrace risks," she says. "I'm living proof that it's possible to be 'livin' the dream' and be successful. With no family to feed and no dependents counting on you, your 20s are without a doubt the years to take a leap and pursue your passion!"
