After much teasing, Bentley's Bentayga SUV is finally here. The British luxury automaker released official photos of the first off-roader in the company's century-long history this week. The Bentayga will make its official world debut later this month at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The Bentayga will join the Continental GT, Flying Spur, and the flagship Mulsanne in its lineup. With luxury SUVs now a must-have for high-end automakers, companies such as Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini have announced plans to jump into the market.

The Bentayga is the first of the three ultra-luxury SUVs to arrive over the next year or so. Bentley chairman Wolfgang Dürheimer told Business Insider earlier this year that the company will build 3,600 Bentaygas in its first year — and that the company has more orders from the US alone.

The 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show will run from September 17 to 27.

It's hard to get by when you don't have a job and the cost of living keeps rising.

This is the maxim behind economist Arthur Okun's "Misery Index," which adds together a country's unemployment and inflation rates. The higher the number, the more "miserable" your country.

There has been criticism of the index. Extensive studies have shown that unemployment influences happiness (or, rather, unhappiness) significantly more than inflation.

Still, few would argue that both unemployment and inflation are bad when they are very high.

In light of that, Business Insider compiled a list of the 18 most miserable countries based on 2014 data available at the CIA World Factbook. Some countries struggle with both high unemployment and inflation, while others have one rate asymmetrically higher than the other.

Some countries are absent from the list because data was either unavailable or outdated.

18. Tunisia

Misery-index score: 20.1

CPI inflation: 4.9%

Unemployment: 15.2%

Tunisia was once called a "success story in Africa and the Middle East, but [today] it faces an array of challenges following the 2011 revolution," according to the CIA Factbook. The government's biggest challenges include reassuring businesses and investors and bringing budget and current-account deficits under control.

Source: CIA Factbook

17. Jamaica

Misery-index score: 20.7%

CPI inflation: 7.1%

Unemployment: 13.6%

Jamaica's economy relies heavily on the services sector, including tourism. Unfortunately, the country suffers from high crime and corruption and a high unemployment — which leads to more crime.

The government is battling a two-headed hydra: On the one hand, it needs to achieve fiscal discipline to maintain debt payments, but on the other hand it wants to confront the serious crime problem.

Source: CIA Factbook

16. Croatia

Misery-index score: 20.8%

CPI inflation: -0.2%

Unemployment: 21%

Croatia is one of the better-off former Yugoslav republics, but the country was hammered by sudden slowdown in 2008 with the financial crisis and never fully recovered. Major long-term problems include uneven regional development, a challenging investment climate, and a "stubbornly" high unemployment rate.

For any tennis fan living in New York, the first two weeks of September are the greatest of the year. The world's most elite tennis players come to Queens to compete in the final, most electric Grand Slam of the year: the US Open.

I've attended in the past, but have never lived in New York until this year, meaning I could go mid-week rather than planning a weekend trip around the tournament.

I bought a night-session ticket a month in advance for about $40 — and only later did I find out that the US Open was featuring free-grounds-admission day on the second Thursday of the tournament, a first in Open history.

Grounds admission doesn't grant access into Arthur Ashe Stadium, where the headliners play. The day would mostly feature doubles matches and juniors, and the tennis center would likely be claustrophobically packed with fans. Regardless, I had to capitalize on this freebie.

Having already been to the night session during week one of play and scouted out the grounds, I felt prepared to do this day on the cheap.

I spent $5.50 on transportation and splurged on a $15 souvenir, and it was the farthest $20.50 has ever gone for me.

Here's what I got to see:

SEE ALSO: I spent 2 weeks researching restaurants at every price point before my mom came to visit NYC, and here's where we went

I woke up to dark skies, wet streets, and an inevitable rain delay at the Open, but the ominous weather would end up working in my favor.

With no indoor courts and an incomplete retractable roof over Arthur Ashe Stadium, rain would mean no tennis for the day, but I decided to trek from my home in Manhattan to Queens anyway. I put $5.50 on my Metro Card — enough for a round trip — and headed out around noon.

A little under an hour later, the 7 train dropped me off right at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens. Normally, the boardwalk to the courts is packed — but not today.

Celia Sawyer is a professional businesswoman and interior decorator who remodels expensive houses for the ultra-wealthy, many worth upwards of £10 million ($15 million), through her Channel 4 show "Four Rooms."

One house that the London native worked on is called "Fairways," and right now it's valued at around £22 million ($34 million), according to Glentree.

The property is located on "Billionaires Row" in The Bishops Avenue, North London, in one of the city's most expensive addresses. 

The house measures over 17,000 square feet with eight bedroom suites, an underground leisure complex, a gigantic swimming pool, and a cinema room.

As if that wasn't enough, the garden measures a further 775 square feet with staff quarters (including security posts) and a garage that can house up to four cars. 

Here is what a £22 million house on "Billionaires Row" looks like. 

The front of the house is illuminated at night. The property extends back into a large garden and includes a security booth.

The view from the back of the house looks out into the 775-square-foot landscaped garden, which has been remodelled by Sawyer to be more work-of-art than garden.

Being a flight attendant isn't like your typical 9-to-5 job.

According to Delta's careers page, flight attendants can expect 4 a.m. wake up calls and sporadic hours, delays and flight cancellations that will nix plans, and weekends and holidays spent working. The tradeoff, though, is getting to see the world and not having to take your work home with you.

Flight attendants submit their montly scheduling choices in a process called "bidding," and the more seniority they have, the more they're able to determine which routes they fly and days they get to take off.

Every new flight attendant at Delta flys six monthly "A days," or days they are assigned to be on-call at or near the airport. For people who commute to work — many flight attendants live in cities other than where they are based — that can mean flying standby from home to base and then waiting to possibly be called to work a flight. For some, work commute means two four-hour flights across the country.

While the job is demanding at times, it does help to work for an airline employees seem to love.

On Glassdoor, employees rate Delta Air Lines four out of five stars, citing pros like great perks and benefits, a professional and friendly environment, and flexibility.

Danny Elkins, a 35-year veteran who's been a flight attendant with Delta since it acquired Pan American World Airways' North Atlantic routes in 1991, would agree.

During his tenure as a flight attendant, Elkins has held several titles including Language of Destination flight attendant, International Coordinator, Code Share flight attendant, and flight attendant recruiter.

We spoke to him to find out what it's really like to be a flight attendant with Delta. Here's what he said:

SEE ALSO: Here's what it's REALLY like to work at Google, the 'world's most attractive' employer

Current role

Each workday really depends on the length of the flight and my rotation.

These days I generally fly from my base in Atlanta to the West Coast, including Los Angeles, Portland, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and other destinations. After meeting with my fellow flight attendants on board, we perform the required safety and security checks before helping passengers board.

We also prepare beverage carts and food carts for cabin service. If I'm working in the First Class cabin, I have meals to cook and work with pilots to discuss details of the flight.

I'm a people person, so after we finish our drink and snack service in the cabin I engage with customers and make sure I'm visible in the aisles to keep them well taken care of. We are there for our customers' safety and comfort and every interaction counts so I make the most of it when I'm in the aisles.

Hiring process

I haven't been a flight attendant candidate for 35 years, but I do help recruit our new hires, so I know a thing or two about the process.

Our culture at Delta is important to us, so we have to make sure those we hire can not only serve to keep our customers safe and comfortable on board, but also fit well within our organization.

We implement an array of techniques, including video interviews, Q&A sessions, and in-person meetings to evaluate candidates to see if they'll be successful as a Delta flight attendant. It's a rigorous process, but we make sure it's fun and engaging for prospective crew members. And we often have an opportunity to select some amazing flight attendants.

Once the requisition is open for hire, it's not uncommon to receive more than 100,000 applications — I am told it's harder to get invited to the Delta Flight Attendant training center than to get into Harvard University.

Useful skills for a flight attendant to have

It's important to have patience and be a good listener when you're a flight attendant.

Our passengers are as diverse as the places we fly, and their wants and needs vary greatly. But I have tools at my disposal to make sure they have a great experience on board the aircraft.

Flying can be tasking at times, so I do whatever I can to make their travel fun and easy. Listening to and being patient with my customers on board is paramount in making sure that happens.

Since July 2014, the U.S. dollar has advanced more than 20 percent against other world currencies. To many, having a strong currency might sound like a good thing, and in many respects it is. The dollar’s relative strength is a reflection of the U.S. economy, which continues to improve since the financial crisis.

While a strong dollar might be good for national pride, it’s been a major headache for multinational American companies. The most cited reason for subpar second quarter earnings, in fact, is the greenback. Financial number-cruncher firm FactSet noted in a recent report that the impact of the strong dollar was a recurring theme in many earnings reports, from Nike to Costco to AutoZone.

The reason? A strong currency makes U.S. exports and products more expensive to other countries, which might encourage them to switch suppliers. It also means that the value of overseas sales is reduced when it’s converted back into dollars.

In the last year, many countries and regions—including Europe, Japan and, most recently, China—have devalued their currencies, making their export prices more attractive to foreign buyers. The Colombian peso is down 23 percent against the dollar; the Turkish lira, 20 percent. The Brazilian real has lost close to 30 percent this year.

In the chart below, you can see the huge difference in second quarter earnings and revenue growth between S&P 500 companies that conduct less than half of their business within the U.S. and those that mostly focus outside the U.S.

From materials to information technology to consumer discretionary, no sector is immune. The only way to avoid the pitfalls of unfavorable foreign exchange rates is to restrict business to the U.S., an idea most growth-seeking companies wouldn’t entertain. Even if business were to remain stateside, revenue could still be hurt by a lack of foreign tourists, since a strong local currency makes travel and shopping more expensive for them.

These are only a sampling of companies that have been hurt by the strong dollar and unfavorable exchange rates. By no means are they the only ones.

It’s important for investors to think long-term. Although it might not happen tomorrow, the dollar will eventually decline against other world currencies, helping to give American companies a more competitive edge.

In the meantime, consider the rest of the world on sale. Traveling to Europe, for instance, is now much more affordable for American tourists. Although the strong dollar might have hurt the bottom line of many multinationals, the real winners in all of this are the everyday American consumer.

Tiffany

About a quarter of Tiffany’s total sales come from foreign markets, meaning the exchange rate has lately nibbled at earnings. Even though the company reported increased quarterly sales at international stores, profits fell 15 percent, from $124.1 million a year ago to $104.9 million. Tiffany is also seeing a marked decline in tourist shoppers to its flagship Fifth Avenue store this year because the dollar has made it more expensive to visit the U.S.

Macy's

New York-based department store chain Macy’s has also been hit by the strong dollar, resulting in lower overseas profits and fewer tourist visitors. Chief Financial Officer Karen Hoguet even reported that the company’s worst performance, geographically, was in its major tourist markets. To counter flat year-over-year revenue growth, Macy’s will be closing 35 to 40 of its stores in early 2016, saving it some $300 million.

Walmart

Macy’s isn’t the only department store that’s felt the negative effects of a stronger greenback. Walmart, the Bentonville, Arkansas-based retail giant, reported first-quarter revenue of $114 billion, down 0.1 percent from the same quarter the previous year. According to the store, global currency fluctuations were responsible for a loss of $3.3 billion in net sales. Another issue affecting revenue right now is Walmart’s decision to raise its minimum wage to $9 an hour.

When South African spelunkers Rick Hunter and Steve Tucker went off-map and discovered a hidden chamber in Rising Star cave, about 30 miles northwest of Johannesburg, it was an incredibly lucky find.

They found and then crammed themselves through a hole that was at one point just over seven inches wide, and then traveled 50 feet down.

At the bottom they spotted a jawbone. They took photos with a GoPro, and then brought them to the the door of National Geographic explorer-in-residence Lee Berger of the University of the Witwatersrand.

Berger realized that this was big: the jaw looked like some kind of primate related to early humans. And there were more bones — many more. But it was going to require some special skills to get them out.

So he posted an ad on Facebook. "We need perhaps three or four individuals with excellent archaeological/palaeontological and excavation skills," it read. "The catch is this – the person must be skinny and preferably small. They must not be claustrophobic, they must be fit, they should have some caving experience, climbing experience would be a bonus. They must be willing to work in cramped quarters, have a good attitude and be a team player."

He ended up with six women who fit the insane physiological and academic requirements for the task, who he'd later refer to as "underground astronauts." These six brave scientists would unearth the largest collection of hominid fossils ever discovered in Africa, a whole new species to transform our understanding of the human family tree. They called it Homo naledi.

Scroll on for the story of their fantastic expedition, which is featured in National Geographic's October cover story.

For the initial excavation in November of 2013, about 60 people gathered — cooks, climbers and cavers, researchers, and of course, the "underground astronauts."

The team first entered the chamber — which was given the name Dinaledi, meaning many stars — on November 10, 2013. Each trip required a "Superman crawl" through a 10-inch passage, and then a far more daunting trip down the incredibly narrow chute into the chamber.

Anthropologist Marina Elliott squeezes through a tight spot here, but the chute was the "real bruiser," an expedition blog noted at the time. "Squeezing through tiny openings, jamming knees and elbows into cracks for stability, and unavoidably swinging or banging into the countless spines and protuberances has given these explorers what amounts to temporary full-body leopard-print tattoos."

Growing up, Max Ventilla never felt like school was for him.

"School was something I did because I was a kid and it was expected of me. That's a real shame," says Ventilla, the former head of personalization at Google. "It's an amazing thing to have this extended period where you work on yourself and have resources to help you grow."

AltSchool, Ventilla's latest venture, sets out to revolutionize that experience by making education more personal.

While some coworkers may have no qualms about letting you know they despise you, others will try to remain diplomatic and professional but will hide those hard feelings.

"Most coworkers won't overtly show their disdain for you so as not to cause trouble or jeopardize their own careers," says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and the author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job.""They may make life difficult for you, but they'll probably try to stay under the radar. Still, there are subtle red flags that they're not out for your best interests."

You'll want to know those signs, says Taylor, so you can spot them when they're present and turn things around before it's too late.

"Of course, it's impossible to be liked by everyone in the office," she explains.

But you should always strive to be sensitive to the needs of your fellow coworkers, remain upbeat and friendly, communicate openly, and give colleagues the benefit of the doubt.

"Those who do this have a far brighter career future," she says. "Plus, when [we]  have strong, healthy workplace relationships, you will be more effective and accomplished in your job."

Michael Kerr, an international business speaker and author of "The Humor Advantage,"agrees.

"When your coworkers like you, everything becomes easier," he says. "People have your back when you need it the most, you can ask for and get favors more easily, people will volunteer to help in times of need, and you can get far better cooperation even across departments."

Being well-liked will boost your morale, which in turn will make you more productive, focused, creative, and successful in everything you do, he says.

Here are 17 subtle signs your coworkers secretly hate you. Keep in mind that you may just be misreading their body language or tone — the workplace is certainly not immune to human misunderstanding and no one's a mind reader.

But if you notice you're the only victim of these behaviors, it probably means they don't like you.

1. Your gut tells you they don't like you.

If you feel like your coworkers don't like you, it could just be in your head, but it could also be true. If they treat you differently than everyone else, you're probably not their favorite person. Trust your gut and continue looking for other signs if you have a strong feeling about this.

2. They don't smile when you're around.

We're not talking about the occasional bad day or mood swing. If your coworkers make a conscious effort not to smile when you're in the room, something isn't right.

3. They can't maintain eye contact with you.

It's difficult to look someone straight in the eye when you don't like or respect them, says Taylor. If you notice your colleagues avoid eye contact while speaking with you, those are probably the reasons.

"They're afraid that you may be able to detect hostility, so the path of least resistance is for them to look away or avoid being around you wherever possible," Taylor suggests.

Housing eats up a lot of our paycheck, but just how much?

We turned to the Economic Policy Institute to find out, which recently released a 2015 Family Budget Calculator measuring the annual cost of necessities to live a secure yet modest lifestyle.

The calculator estimates the costs of housing, food, child care, transportation, healthcare, other necessities, and taxes.

In this case, we looked specifically at the how much the EPI estimates a family of four and single people are paying for monthly rent in the most expensive metropolitan areas in the US.

Housing costs are based on the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) fair market rents, and include shelter and all tenant-paid utilities (excluding telephone service, cable, and internet). Studio apartments were used for one-person households, and two-bedroom apartments were used for families with two children.

(Read the full methodology for the budget calculator on the EPI website.)

Of course, if you're looking to buy in a major metro, that may cost you more. As for renting, here's how much you can expect to pay per month in the 11 most expensive metro areas in the US:

The old adage in real estate is that it's all about location, location, location.

New research, however, shows that "timing" may need to be tacked on to that saying.

According to an analysis by RealtyTrac of over 32 million house and condos sales since 2000, closing on a house on a particular day can save you a lot of money in some cities.

Of 11 major metro areas reviewed, completing the sale on the best day of the year saved buyers at least 10% against the market value for the house at the time of sale.

The best savings seem to occur on October days when there tend to be a dearth of buyers in the market, forcing sellers to bring down their prices.

Oddly enough, Seattle's best day for savings was April 1, which RealtyTrac found was the worst month for discounts.

It was Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, now the world’s fifth-richest man, who took Benioff under his wing and turned him into a star executive.

Although their relationship had its ups and downs through the years, Benioff wrote in his 2009 book, “Behind the Cloud,” that Ellison is his “mentor” and “close friend.”

He even dedicated a small section, called “The Larry Ellison Playbook,” where he lists the seven lessons he's learned from Ellison.

“Many of the lessons I learned from Larry still guide me today,” he wrote.

Benioff was only 23 years old when he won the Rookie of the Year award at Oracle. By 26, Benioff was a star executive at Oracle, making over $300,000 a year.

Benioff became close friends with Ellison during his 13 years at Oracle. So close that some people even wondered if Benioff was Ellison’s nephew.

Ellison was a strong supporter of Benioff when Salesforce first launched in 1999. He was one of the first seed investors and even let Benioff work at Oracle until Salesforce really started to take off.

Sometimes, it's a good idea to make a move and tweak the course of your career.

If that time has come for you, we have some good places to do that.
