Every major investment bank offers an internship program — it's an opportunity for students to test out the profession and for the firm to scout future employees.

We got the opportunity to follow Sophie, a University of Cambridge economics student, as she went through a day of her 10-week summer analyst internship.

She's one of hundreds of interns working at the investment bank during the university holidays, who are essentially following the same program, whether they're in London, Hong Kong or New York.

If previous years are anything to go by, a majority of the summer intake will be offered positions at JPMorgan for when they finish studying, becoming high-flying and highly paid investment bankers.

This is how Sophie's day went.

It's an early start. Sophie has to be at her desk at 6:30 a.m., in London's Canary Wharf.

JPMorgan's London headquarters is this 31-story tower on Bank Street. The bank bought the tower in 2010 — it had previously belonged to Lehman Brothers.

Sophie, the intern we're following, works in global equity sales. She's there for 10 weeks this summer, having completed other internship periods at the bank already. The desk essentially sells shares from around the world to largely UK-based clients.

Sharks are some of the most feared and loathed creatures in the animal kingdom.

But for all the hype spurred by "Shark Week" and movies like "Jaws," the odds of actually being attacked by one are pretty slim — about 1 in 11.5 million.

Still, humanity can't help but be intrigued, and a little frightened, by the odd encounter with one of these magnificent oceangoing beasts.

Here are a few of the most incredible encounters with sharks so far this year.

Scientists have seen plenty of big sharks, but this 20-foot great white may be the largest one ever caught on camera. Her name is Deep Blue, and she appears to be pregnant.

When great whites hunt, they approach their prey from below, like this shark caught launching itself into the air. The incredible footage was shot in Mossel Bay, South Africa, by Remo Sabatini on July 6.

Sometimes, one shark just isn't enough. A fisherman caught this giant tiger shark, then realized the massive creature had already swallowed a hammerhead.

Any full-size Hyperloop stretching hundreds of miles connecting cities is still likely years off in the US. But the first Hyperloop test track is inching closer to being built. 

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT), a company developing Hyperloop technology, said on Thursday that it will break ground in May of 2016 for a five-mile test track that will be located in Quay Valley outside of Los Angeles. 

The aim is to complete the track by 2018. But HTT's CEO Dirk Ahlborn said the company is in discussions to build a much larger version in other countries after construction in Quay Valley begins. 

A Hyperloop system that stretches hundreds of miles is easier to build in a developing country than in the US for several reasons, but primarily because it's easier to get the rights to land to construct the new transportation system. 

But that hasn't stopped HTT from envisioning what a system in the US could look like. The company has come up with some pretty far-fetched images imagining how the new transportation system could fit into major hubs around the country. 

Here's how HTT envisions the Hyperloop looking in different cities. 

HTT researched where a Hyperloop system would make the most sense in the US. This map shows the cities across the US that it concluded make should connect to the Hyperloop.

HTT's research suggests that a Hyperloop system in the North Eastern Corridor would greatly benefit the economy in the region and cut down on carbon emission.

A Hyperloop station in New York City would be key to linking major cities like Washington DC, Boston, and Philadelphia.

These days, feeling stressed at work is practically a given. But you'd think that once you fall asleep, you'd be free from worries about pending project reports and pop-ins from your boss.

Unfortunately, that's hardly the case. Our anxiety about work often spills over into our dreams. Sometimes those dreams are easy to interpret; for example, you might dream about getting fired because you're afraid of it happening in real life. Others, like falling from a great height, are less obviously connected to work anxiety.

We consulted Michael Lennox, Ph.D., a psychologist and an expert in dream interpretation, to find out what the most common work-related anxiety dreams are — and what they're trying to tell you.

SEE ALSO: 9 Proven Tricks For Overcoming Anxiety And Fear

Having sex with a coworker

Lennox says one of the most common workplace dreams he hears is about sex with a coworker — one you're not even remotely attracted to and would never have sex with in real life.

But this dream isn't really about sex. "It takes on a completely different perspective when sex is introduced as a symbol for integration," Lennox says. In other words, you probably want to incorporate some aspect of your coworker's personality into your own.

He gives an example of a client who dreamed about sleeping with her coworker before she had to give a stressful presentation in real life. Lennox helped the woman figure out that her coworker was a skilled public speaker and she wished to emulate that quality.

Being at the office

If you constantly dream about simply being present in your work environment, there's a good chance you're experiencing overwhelming stress.

"There's so much stress there that needs to be offloaded," Lennox says. "That's just a signal that the work stress is so great that you're processing it in your sleep."

Being naked

Lennox says dreaming about being naked is a "perfect symbolic expression" of feeling like a fraud at work (also known as impostor syndrome).

Many people privately experience the fear that other people will find out that they don't really know what they're doing. Being naked at work could mean, Lennox says, that "I will be seen for who I really am. And that will be terrifying."

Mercedes-AMG on Thursday announced a brand new C63 coupe, and because it’s AMG-branded, we know it’s going to have some awesome things going on under the hood.

The 2017 C63 Coupe is more powerful than ever, with more horsepower and more speed than ever before.

"The new AMG C63 Coupe embodies our conception of progress: It offers impressive longitudinal and lateral dynamics at an extremely high level along with improved  fuel economy," said Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG, in a press release.

Here’s a look at the new car ahead of its premiere at the Frankfurt Auto Show next month.

It comes in two options: coupe and S coupe. The difference? about 50 horsepower and 25 more miles-per-hour.

With an impressive 503 horsepower under the hood, the S-option can reach 180 miles per hour before being limited by the cars computer. The standard C63 isn’t much farther behind, with 469 horsepower.

Starbucks may soon become a lot more boisterous after 4 p.m. 

The Seattle-based chain brought their Starbucks Evenings menu to their Williamsburg store on North 7th Street on Wednesday, making it the first New York location to offer wine, beer, and small dinner dishes.

The Evenings menu first began in Seattle in 2010 and has now spread to 76 locations.

While met with some opposition by local businesses over Starbucks' liquor license, they're hoping to become a local destination for the later crowd.

The company is looking for ways to expand its business beyond coffee, and it plans to roll out the new evening menu in 2,000 of its US locations within five years.

I hopped on the train to Williamsburg to see for myself if Starbucks has what it takes to be a nightly social hub.

This Williamsburg location at 154 N 7th Street opened in 2014 and has a Starbucks Reserve coffee bar as well, offering micro-lot coffees and fancy brewing techniques.

Only two hours into the evening menu offering and the place was pretty busy. A large group had reserved a table and seemed to be enjoying the wine selection.

The space boasts ample seating with large and small tables, a long communal bar, and comfy coffee tables and chairs.

A company developing Hyperloop technology revealed on Thursday that it plans to break ground on a five mile test track as soon as May 2016. 

The startup Hyperloop Transportation Technologies plans to build the system a few hours north of Los Angeles in Quay Valley. 

Here's a look at some of the renderings of what the new transportation system will look like from a distance and up close. 

HTT plans to build a five-mile Hyperloop system in Quay Valley. The Hyperloop design uses a combination of low air pressure and magnetic acceleration to travel at high speeds.

HTT estimates the cost to build the track will be between $100 million to $150 million.

HTT is working with the Swedish company Oerlikon to help it with its vacuum technology for the system. Oerlikon has developed high-tech vacuums for major projects, including the hadron collider at CERN.

Mining is the backbone of bitcoin.

It's the process that creates new bitcoin: By contributing computing power to process transactions on the bitcoin network, "miners" are rewarded with a portion of the digital currency.

This payout makes the entire process — with the right equipment, incredibly lucrative, and has spawned a huge and surreal industry.

You can mine at home, and many people do. But companies dedicated to mining have also sprung up, some worth tens of millions of dollars.

These companies build huge data centres or "mines," that consume vast amounts of power and perform insane computations on the hunt for digital gold. 

Here's a look inside one.

These photos are from Genesis Mining, a cloud mining company. It lets customers mine using their "cloud," without having to buy specialised hardware.

It's technically possible to mine on just about any computer, but it's not profitable to do so unless you have the right kit. Many people do mine themselves, often joining large pools to improve their odds. But Genesis' model is another option.

The company had early mines in Bosnia and China, and most of its operations are currently based in Iceland.

Smartphone cameras are nothing short of incredible, but some are still better than others.

Apple has interestingly stuck with an 8-megapixel camera for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, while many Android and Windows phones go for 13 megapixels or more.

Samsung's latest Galaxy Note 5 has a 16-megapixel camera, and if it's anything like the iPhone-busting Galaxy S6's shooter, it'll have a chance against the iPhone 6 Plus.

Smartphone cameras, FIGHT:

The Note 5 generally captures more building detail than the iPhone in this picture, especially when you compare the details on the tallest building towards the center in the two shots. The Note 5 also took a brighter photo with more contrast that generally looks better, but it also led to over-exposed parts of the clouds.

This was taken with the iPhone 6 Plus. I'd still take the Note 5's picture despite the over-exposure of the clouds, as this picture looks a little dark and gloomy. The iPhone's camera just doesn't capture as much detail as the Note 5.

The colors on this building shot with the Note 5 looks slightly washed out compared to the iPhone. The brighter spots in the picture also appear a little more over-exposed than on the iPhone. But again, the Note 5 captures much sharper and clearer detail.

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to get from Los Angeles to San Francisco in a half hour for only $30?

If the Hyperloop comes to fruition, that may become a reality. 

The Hyperloop, first proposed by Elon Musk — yes, the Elon Musk behind Tesla, SpaceX, and PayPal — is a mode of transportation that works by shooting pods full of people through vacuum sealed tubes at speeds of more than 500 miles per hour.

You can think of it like a huge version of the pneumatic tubes you may have seen at a drive-through of a bank.

Musk isn't actually working on building one — he's already the CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX — but made the plans public so other companies could test the concept. 

One of those companies is Hyperloop Transportation Technologies. On Thursday, the Los Angeles-based company announced that it would start construction on a test track in May 2016 with the goal of transporting people by 2018.

There are many challenges any company building a Hyperloop has to overcome — technological issues, regulatory requirements, and land-use issues — and we're still years and years away from a Hyperloop network that would connect. 

But that didn't stop HTT from releasing a video that depicts how much time a Hyperloop would save someone getting from her home in Los Angeles to San Francisco. 

Check it out:

In this scenario, a waitress who lives in Alhamba, a city about nine miles from downtown Los Angeles, wants to visit her family in San Francisco.

Here's how long it would take her to get to San Francisco by airplane. She lives 21 miles from the airport.

It would take her 45 minutes to get from her house to Los Angeles International Airport.

It would cost $3 and require her to use several modes of transportation.

Gibraltar

This literal rock hanging off the coast of southern Spain is a British Overseas Territory with a population of 30,000 people and, in some seasons, what feels like just as many yachts.

Nonstop flights from London land on its single runway, which straddles the only road into and out of the country towards Spain. Gibraltar’s chief attraction is its own topography; most visitors spend the day taking a cable car to the top of the rock for the view and to make kissy faces at the wild Barbary macaque apes who dwell there.

Isle of Man

An island alone in the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man is a self-governing British dependency home to 84,000 people. Visitors arrive via flights from the mainland UK or a high-speed ferry from Liverpool, and spend the day visiting the Viking historic site of Peel Castle, dining on sweet Queenie scallops, and buying special edition postage stamps.

The locals, known as Manx, fly their flags highest during the annual Tourist Trophy, a motorcycle road race that transverses the island’s winding roads free from speed limits.

Monaco

Grace Kelly may have put Monaco on the map, but in truth, the country of less than one square mile has been its own slice of independence in the south of France since the 15th century. The population varies with the seasons, but averages 37,000, which balloons to seven times that number during the Formula 1 Grand Prix races.

Those who are born and bred in Monaco grow up speaking French, Italian, English, and Monaco’s own language of Monégasque. Aside from its spectacular harbor brimming with yachts and the opulent casino showcased in James Bond films, Monaco is home to a world-famous Oceanographic Museum, the director of which was once Jacques Cousteau.
