The Tesla Model X was the most eagerly anticipated new-car debut of 2015 — and maybe of the entire decade. This was the vehicle that would transform Elon Musk's startup from the company making one car in one California factory into the first American car company to come along since Chrysler. Or just a company making ... two cars in one factory in California.

Regardless, we'd been waiting on the Model X, whose introduction had been delayed for years, with a lot of expectations. Business Insider was on the ground in Fremont, CA when the cover was pulled off, and we were pretty impressed, even though we only got a few minutes behind the wheel after Musk presented the crossover. 

Based on that short time, we still made the Model X a finalist for our 2015 Car of the Year.

Later, we learned that three major parts of the car had presented problems: the panoramic front window, the exotic "Falcon Wing" doors, and the back seats, which Musk had described as sculptural. The doors had to be completely re-engineered at the last minutes, and Tesla had so much trouble with the seats that they brought production in-house.

Last week, Tesla held an event at its Manhattan store in West Chelsea and invited myself and my colleague Ben Zhang to join some new Model X owners and some prospective X owners in checking out the car. I'd never actually seen the SUV in the flesh, so I was quite psyched. Ben had already had a look and a drive. 

Tesla's Alexis Georgeson rode shotgun while I drove, completing my run of Tesla vehicles (I've driven them all at this point, going back to the original Roadster). Ben and Sonja Koch, also of Tesla, sampled the back-seat sculpture. This wasn't a full review — more of an extended first date with the Model X.

To borrow a line from one of my favorite bands, The Replacements (stripped of irony), "color me impressed." Read on to find out why.

The Model X looks absolutely fantastic — even in the gloomy, rain-soaked, 19th-century landscape of Manhattan's far West Side, formerly a realm of tax garages that has become home to art galleries and the famous High Line.

Crossover SUVs in this segment are everywhere in the US right now. But as much as we've gotten used to looking at them, the Model X can still stop traffic. The entire car, inside and out, isn't just a refinement of the genre — it's almost a complete aesthetic reinvention. Well-designed cars are often likened to sculpture, but from my perspective, they don't often live up to that billing.

The Model X does. The lines are smooth and dramatically articulated, but nothing is over-the-top. The word "cool," in its truest sense, is wildly overused when talking about cars, but the Model X is cool like a tall, beautiful drink or a long, sustained, piercing note from Miles Davis' trumpet. 

It's a been few months since we last saw the car, at its launch in California.

For me, the Model X launch was a presentation of the car's features. I didn't get a strong overall sense of how gorgeous the machine actually is. 

But then again, I rarely do when I'm simply studying photos of a vehicle. Ben was a bit more jaded, in that he knew what to expect. 

The Falcon Wing doors are very cool — and a way to keep the rain off passengers if they lack umbrellas. They might have been tough to build, but they worked great.

The Falcon Wing design was a big gamble. This design is rarely used for a reason. But Tesla has created a space-age interpretation of the concept. The doors are packed with sensors that enable them to avoid hitting other parked cars or the roof of a garage. 

NASA recently announced that it had a record high number of applicants for the 2017 astronaut class.

A whopping 18,300 people are fighting for less than 15 highly coveted spots. Its previous record was 8,000 applicants in 1978.

The space agency just began an 18-month-long process "that will end with the selection of eight to 14 individuals for the opportunity to become astronaut candidates," the official press release explains. 

Assuming NASA accepts 14 people, the acceptance rate will be just .08%. Meanwhile, Harvard — one of the most competitive universities in the world — accepted 5.9% of its applicants in 2014. 

To figure out how the application and selection processes work, we spoke to a NASA spokesperson and reviewed the official guidelines on the website. Here's what we found:

The requirements

On December 14, 2015, the application to join the 47 current NASA astronauts opened on USAJOBS. 

"NASA is on an ambitious journey to Mars and we're looking for talented men and women from diverse backgrounds and every walk of life to help get us there," said NASA Administrator and former astronaut Charles Bolden in a press release on December 14. "Today, we opened the application process for our next class of astronauts, extraordinary Americans who will take the next giant leap in exploration. This group will launch to space from US soil on American-made spacecraft and blaze the trail on our journey to the Red Planet."

To apply for one of the eight to 14 open positions, you had to meet the following three requirements: 

1. Be a US citizen. 

2. Have a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in engineering, biological science, physical science, mathematics, or computer science — which was added on for this round of hiring. 

3. Have at least three years of related, progressively responsible professional experiences or 1,000 hours of pilot in command time in a jet aircraft. 

NASA also recommends that you have an advanced degree. 

Stephanie Schierholz, a spokesperson for NASA, told Business Insider that the qualifications aren't more strenuous because while they want the best and brightest, but they also want diversity. "We're looking for more than just degrees," she says. "We want varied experiences in crew members." 

You can check out the impressive résumés of the current 47 astronauts on the NASA website. 

The interest

The last day to apply for the program was February 18, 2016. 

The following day, NASA announced that more than 18,300 people applied to join the 2017 astronaut class — almost three times the number of applications received in 2012 for the most recent astronaut class.

Schierholz says that they expected a high number of applications because of the strong interest in the journey to Mars set for the early 2030s, as well as NASA's increased social media presence. But since the previous record was just 8,000, the company was surprised to see the final number. "I don't think anyone really expected 18,000," she says.  

The review process

Between now and September 2016, each application will be reviewed individually by someone at NASA. 

Schierholz says people from all different departments — including those in HR and the astronaut office — will team up to do an initial round of narrowing down the pool of candidates by reviewing their education, fellowships, decision-making skills, and leadership skills, among other things.

She says these reviewers will also check for diversity of experience, such as a pilot's license or scuba license. "Those activities are potentially life threatening and require high demand, high knowledge, and the ability to make quick decisions," she says. "They show that a person can withstand that type of environment, which is obviously important." 

In the past, this review process was more manageable, she says. However, due to the record-high number of applicants, NASA will be asking 40 and 50 employees to help with the initial evaluations this year — about a dozen more than usual. 

Schierholz says they may also have to make adjustments to their timeline this year.

Most people might dread spending their entire lives on an airplane, but not Bruce Campbell. That's because his airplane, which stays on the ground, is his home.

The former electrical engineer turned a Boeing 727 he bought in 1999 into a home in Portland, Oregon. Reuters has photos of the space. After modifications, 65-year-old Campbell's aircraft dream home cost him $220,000. He spends six months out of the year living there, alternating between Portland and Japan.

In addition to his current home, Campbell is hoping to buy a bigger Boeing 747-400 to convert into his home in Miyazaki, Japan.

"I don't mean to offend, but wood is in my view a terrible building material,"Campbell wrote on his website. "But retired airliners can withstand 575 mph winds ... are highly fire-resistant, and provide superior security. They're among the finest structures that mankind has ever built."

Virtually the entire US illicit-drug market is controlled by seven Mexican cartels, according to the US Drug Enforcement Administration's 2015 National Drug Threat Assessment Summary.

The DEA report notes that there are no organizations at this time with the infrastructure and power to challenge these cartels and their hold over the US market.

Trafficking heroin, meth, cocaine, and marijuana, these organizations will continue to dominate throughout the US, according to the DEA.

"Narcotics are the biggest black market earner of all,"wrote Ioan Grillo, author of "Gangster Warlords: Drug Dollars, Killing Fields, and the New Politics of Latin America."

"Estimated to be worth more than three hundred billion dollars a year, the global industry has pumped huge resources into criminal empires decade after decade."

A number of criminal organizations have risen and fallen over those decades, but we have listed the seven Mexican cartels that currently supply the US drug market below.

The Sinaloa cartel

The Sinaloa cartel is generally regarded as the most powerful and wealthiest cartel in Mexico and in the world.

The cartel is based in Sinaloa state on Mexico's Pacific coast — a rugged and mountainous area known as the Golden Triangle for its extensive drug cultivation. 

Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán and Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada took leadership of the Sinaloa cartel in the early 1990s (after the disintegration of the Guadalajara cartel).

In 2012, the Chicago Crime Commission named Guzmán as Chicago’s Public Enemy No.1 due to the Sinaloa cartel's dominant role in supplying large quantities of drugs to the city and the region around it.

 In 2013, the DEA said that Guzmán's organization shipped "80% of the heroin, cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine" most of which flowed through the Chicago region each year, a supply with a value of $3 billion. 

The DEA's 2015 National Drug Threat Assessment revealed even more extensive control, with only New Mexico and the southern half of Texas out of the Sinaloa cartel's grasp.

On the morning of January 8, the Mexican government arrested Guzmán, and hours later frog-marched him from northwestern Sinaloa state, where he was captured, back to the prison near Mexico City from which he escaped in July — where he will reportedly be even more closely monitored.

Most observers believe that Guzmán will eventually end up in a US supermax facility and that his cartel will continue to operate from Mexico through its vast networks. 

"The drug trade will continue to operate without 'El Chapo,' but 'El Chapo' represented drug traffickers who could defy the government," Grillo, author of "Gangster Warlords," told Business Insider.

After nearly 70 years in business, Ferrari completed an IPO on the New York Stock Exchange in 2015 that valued the company at nearly $10 billion. Today, the carmaker has one of the most valuable and recognizable brands in the world; its "prancing horse" logo is synonymous with sex, money and the high life. 

Ferrari wasn't always the global luxury brand that's now being traded in New York. The company's early days as a maker of racing cars were rather humble, and it took an Italian-American racing star named Chinetti to begin the transformation into a purveyor of glamorous supercars for the world's well heeled.

The company's success drew takeover interest, and later rivalry, from Ford – before Ferrari eventually became part of FIAT. With the IPO, Ferrari is on its way to becoming an independent company again. 

This is its story.

In 1908, A ten-year-old Enzo Ferrari saw his first car race and immediately became hooked. As a young adult, Enzo was drafted by the Italian army to fight in World War I.

After the war, Enzo had a hard time finding work in the auto business. He applied to work at Fiat, but was rejected to due an excess of unemployed war veterans. Eventually, he found work at smaller automakers.

By the early 1920s, Enzo landed a job at Alfa Romeo as a race car driver. Fellow drivers at the company included legendary aces like Tazio Nuvolari, seen here in an Alfa.

Director Alejandro González Iñárritu may have insisted on making his new movie "The Revenant," which came out on Christmas Day, as authentic as possible — including having actors go through a week-long boot camp to correctly portray mountain men in the 1800s — but there was still some movie magic needed to pull off this gory revenge tale.

That's where legendary production designer Jack Fisk comes in. He's best known for the beautifully designed period settings in movies like "The Thin Red Line,"" The New World," and "There Will Be Blood" over his three-decade career.

Here, Fisk reveals some of the secrets behind the making of "The Revenant," including how that now-legendary bear scene came to be.

Warning: spoilers ahead.

There was no real bear used in the filming of the grizzly attack scene.

One of the most memorable scenes in the movie is the incredible bear attack on Leonardo DiCaprio's character Hugh Glass. The scene is intense, violent, and, according to Fisk, completely done though stunt men and CGI. And, no, of course there is no rape.

So there wasn't even a trained bear for some of it?

"None. We had no real bears on set," Fisk said. "We looked at bears, but they were all so fat. These trained bears in captivity that you see on TV shows, they don't look like a wild grizzly bear from the 1800s."

According to Fisk, the scene was rehearsed with the stunt department for months before they even got on set in Squamish, British Columbia. Then on the day, he dressed the area where the attack took place with 25-foot rubber trees so when DiCaprio smashed into them, he wouldn't get injured. The actor was then strapped to harnesses attached to cables the stunt team used to yank him around. The grizzly was then added digitally in postproduction.

Fake horses were created for the scene in which DiCaprio cuts one open to stay warm.

The bear scene was certainly not the only jaw-dropping sequence in "The Revenant." Later in the movie, as Glass sets out to enact his revenge on the people who left him after the grizzly attack, he must run from a group of angry Native Americans. To escape them, he and his horse jump a cliff and land on a giant pine tree. As it begins to snow, Glass cuts open the horse, takes out its guts, and crawls inside until the storm passes.

"The horse was built and the guts inside were created out of latex and hair," Fisk said. The props department built one horse for DiCaprio to crawl inside and another horse for the chase scene in which they go off the cliff.

"We brought in 15 big pine trees, some of them 50 feet tall. And we snowed in the area," Fisk said. "Like the bear scene, the snow around the horse was always being trampled on, so between takes we were constantly using the snow machine."

The location where DiCaprio finds the bison herd was discovered by accident.

Fisk says the biggest challenge he had on the film was finding the remote locations for shooting. That's largely because, as the movie was shot with only natural light, Fisk had to find locations with a south or southwest vista.

In one striking scene, Glass comes across a herd of bison, leading to a part with a Native American offering Glass the liver of one of the bison he's eating. Fisk said that that location was found by accident.

"We were checking out a river one day, stopped the boats at a point, and, walking up this hill, we found this large vista," Fisk said. "The sun was setting, it was the perfect time of day to see it. Everyone thought, 'My God, this is what we've been looking for.'"

Fisk and his team lined the top of the hill with bushes. Computer graphics were used to create the herd of buffalo. Fisk said only one prop bison was created for the liver scene.

"The AD said, 'Where's the second one?' and I told him a man can eat maybe 10 pounds of meat. Between the two of them they wouldn't even put a dent in it."

Fisk recalls seeing DiCaprio eat the real bison liver: "I thought Leo was vegetarian, but he went for it."

Savvy executives know that interview questions like, "What's your biggest strength?" and, "What's your biggest weakness?" aren't as telling as they seem.

That's why they steer clear of these cliché queries and instead ask more meaningful ones.

Many of the most successful execs have their one favorite go-to question that reveals everything they need to know about a job candidate.

Here are 26 of them.

DON'T MISS: Here are the personal interview questions one CEO asks during every job interview

'What didn't you get a chance to include on your résumé?'

Virgin Group founder Richard Branson explains in his new book "The Virgin Way: Everything I Know About Leadership," that he isn't a fan of the traditional job interview, reports Business Insider's Richard Feloni.

"Obviously a good CV is important, but if you were going to hire by what they say about themselves on paper, you wouldn't need to waste time on an interview," Branson writes. That's why he likes to ask: What didn't you get a chance to include on your résumé?

'On a scale of one to 10, how weird are you?'

One of Zappos' core values is to "create fun and a little weirdness," Tony Hsieh, CEO of the company, tells Business Insider.

To make sure he hires candidates with the right fit, Hsieh typically asks the question: "On a scale of one to 10, how weird are you?" He says the number isn't too important, but it's more about how people answer the question. Nonetheless, if "you're a one, you probably are a little bit too straight-laced for the Zappos culture," he says. "If you're a 10, you might be too psychotic for us."

Another question Zappos usually asks candidates is: "On a scale of one to 10, how lucky are you in life?" Again, the number doesn't matter too much, but if you're a one, you don't know why bad things happen to you (and probably blame others a lot). And if you're a 10, you don't understand why good things always seem to happen to you (and probably lack confidence).

'What would the closest person in your life say if I asked them, 'What is the one characteristic that they totally dig about you, and the one that drives them insane?''

Kat Cole, group president of FOCUS Brands, tells Adam Bryant in a New York Times interview that before asking questions, she likes to see how job candidates interact with people in the waiting area.

"I'll ask people to offer the candidate a drink to see if there's a general gratefulness there, and they'll send me notes," she tells Bryant. "Then, when someone walks into my office, I'll have a big wad of paper on my floor between the door and the table. I want to see if the person picks it up. I don't make huge judgments around it, but it does give me a sense of how detail-oriented they are."

After some conversation, she finally says: "Tell me about the closest person in your life who you're comfortable talking about. What would they say if I asked them, 'What is the one characteristic that they totally dig about you?'"

Then she'll say: "What is the one characteristic that drives them insane, and that they would love for you to do just a little bit less?"

"People are pretty comfortable talking about that because I've pinpointed a person and a point of view," she tells the Times.

The Oscars are notorious for not getting it right.

That's the reputation you earn when you don't reward "Citizen Kane" Best Picture, or when "Crash" topples "Brokeback Mountain," or "Dances with Wolves" nabs the big prize.

But there are also plenty of times that the Academy got it right.

In truth, there's no way of knowing whether a film will have staying power through the years. But sometimes, voters make truly great and interesting choices.

Here are the 12 greatest Best Picture winners of all time:

12. "Amadeus" (1984)

The stereotype of an Oscar movie is an overlong, stale, historical biopic. "Amadeus" could have been just that but, instead, it turns the whole formula on its head. It brings 1700s Austria to life by making it feel just as alive as the present day.

Portraying a rivalry that might not ever have existed and turning one of history's greatest composers into a spoiled, giggling buffoon, who might have been a genius by accident, the film says so much more about the past than any buttoned-up, historically accurate film could.

No movie can get the past completely right — that's both the power and the danger of the medium. The great thing about "Amadeus" is that it acknowledges that almost immediately by letting Salieri tell somebody else's story. And the fact that it works so well is a true stroke of genius.

11. "Schindler's List" (1993)

After years of snubs, Spielberg rightfully won his first Oscar ever for "Schindler's List," the true story of a German businessman who saved countless Jewish lives during the Holocaust. This is such difficult subject matter and it is truly incredible to see the way Spielberg handles it. He spares none of the awful details and yet finds a ray of light in a horrible world during a horrible period of time. This is quite simply essential viewing.

10. "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991)

"The Silence of the Lambs" is notable for two big reasons.

First off, it's the only horror film to win Best Picture. The character of Hannibal Lecter himself is bigger than just one film, but "The Silence of the Lambs" delivers the goods. This is the perfect horror movie for the Academy, as it is one that relies less on gore (though it is there) and more so on mounting dread. If a horror movie was going to win the big prize, it was going to be the one with the most likable cannibal of all time.

Secondly, it was released on February 14, 1991, basically a full year before the actual Oscar ceremony. So it proved that awards aren't just for that stretch of movies released during the last two weeks of every year.

Ever since social media and smartphones captured the imagination of a billion people, we've seen a rash of new career fields. Many of you, no doubt, have jumped on these opportunities with fad-like fervor. And therein lies the rub. You're far from alone.

These fields are now flooded. The problem, as many have already learned, is that if it's easy — if the barriers and costs to entry are low — then anyone can do it. And that's exactly what's happening. Not just anyone, but anyone and everyone. And that means heavy competition, no pricing power, slim profit margins, and low income.

If all it takes is some online classes, a certificate, a seminar, a self-help book, and a website to proclaim that you're the best darn award-winning, best-selling, guru, expert, or whatever, you can bet that a flood of other people with no real marketable skill or expertise will go for it. And they have.

And when it comes to fads, you can always count on one thing: They will come, and they will go. Granted, fads may gain viral traction in the blink of an eye, but once people discover that there's nothing to them — that they really are all hype — they vanish just as quickly as they appeared.

Don't get me wrong. There are legitimate experts in every field, even some of these, but if you're not a top performer, you might want to reconsider your future in these faddish gigs:

DON'T MISS: The 27 jobs that are most damaging to your health

1. Professional coaching

There are coaches for everything: leadership, strengths, performance, career, fitness, family, holistic, happiness and, of course, life. There are even coaches who coach people on becoming coaches. And no, I'm not making that up. The vast majority have three things in common: a worthless certificate, no real expertise, and a lousy business.

2. Emotional intelligence consulting

There is no scientific correlation between emotional quotient and job success. If emotional intelligence were a requirement for business leadership, then Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Mark Cuban, and Donald Trump would never have made it big. Besides, the emotional-intelligence test is so easy to game, it isn't funny.  

3. Working in the gig economy

Driving an Uber cab, renting out a room on Airbnb, selling used stuff on eBay, or generating online content for peanuts are definitely not high-paying gigs. While the self-employed make up 17% of the US workforce, they generate just 7% of the nation's gross domestic product. This is why we have a productivity crisis in America — we have a growing slacker economy.

Alicia Vikander just won her first Oscar for best supporting actress, and she's someone you should know.

Just in 2015, the Swedish actress played a famous painter, a secret agent, and an artificial intelligence that wants to be human.

She won at the Academy Awards Sunday night for "The Danish Girl." It's been quite a year for the 27-year-old.

Playing artist Gerda Wegener in "The Danish Girl," Vikander gives a scene-stealing performance as the wife of fellow artist Lili Elbe (played by Eddie Redmayne), one of the first identifiable recipients of sex-reassignment surgery.

But it's just the latest in a stellar series of performances Vikander has done, which also includes the hit indie film "Ex Machina."

Let's learn more about this star on the rise.

Vikander's first taste of success came in 2007 with the Swedish soap opera "Andra Avenyn" ("Second Avenue"), which looked at the lives of a group of people living in the second-largest city in Sweden.

In 2009, she starred in her first feature film, "Pure," in which she plays a troubled 20-year-old who, in leaving her family life, ends up in the arms of a married man.

Vikander then found notice in the US playing Kitty in the 2012 adaptation of the Tolstoy classic "Anna Karenina," starring Keira Knightley in the lead role.

The best colleges prepare students for a career by helping them obtain hands-on experience through internships, externships, and cooperative education (co-op) programs.

The Princeton Review recently published "Colleges That Pay You Back: 2016 Edition," which includes a list of the best schools for internships. The ranking was determined by students’ ratings of accessibility of internship placement at their school.

From career fairs and workshops to alumni mentorships and shadowing, these 25 colleges give their students all the resources they need to score the perfect internship.

Have you ever tried talking to your manager about a project, only to have her cut you off to tell you about the award she won years ago? Do meetings feel like a one-man show starring your boss? Does she constantly try to one-up you and your colleagues?

If so, you've probably got a narcissist on your hands — and they're not the easiest people the work with.

"Working for a narcissistic boss is like riding a wild rollercoaster while being blindfolded," says Teri Hockett, CEO of What's For Work?, a career site for women. "You can be the golden child one moment and the next you are receiving all the blame."

A true narcissist, she says, has no concept of taking responsibility for anything negative, and will constantly "undercut anyone who challenges or does not respond to them in the manner that they deem deserving."

Deborah Shane, a career expert and author of "Career Transition", concurs. "Working for a narcissist can be difficult because they typically make things about them. Just about everything and everyone they engage and interact with needs to make them look good and feel good."

She says their egos also get in the way of teamwork, culture, and camaraderie. "Narcissists can fracture and divide a workplace, rather than unify and strengthen it."

Think you might be working for a narcissistic boss? Here are seven tips for dealing with them:

Recognize their narcissistic traits.

The quicker you can identify their narcissistic traits, the easier it will be to mitigate the damage, Hockett says.

A few signs you're dealing with a narcissistic boss: They require excessive admiration, lack empathy, speak more than they listen, externalize blame and never take responsibility for their own mistakes, enjoy telling others what to do, and never want to be challenged, just to name a few.

Keep your distance.

Try not to become emotionally engaged with your narcissistic boss. "Be professional, congenial, yet guarded," Hockett says. "It sounds like quite a conundrum; but it's imperative that you do not share too much personal information that can potentially be used against you."

Establish boundaries. 

Decide what are and are not acceptable ways to be treated by your boss, and have the courage to speak up when the line is crossed, Shane says. Try saying: "The way you spoke to me was unnecessary and hurt my feelings," or, "I respect your point of view, but I have one, too," she suggests.

You finally get the call. The hiring manager on the other end says they'd like you to come in to interview for the job you applied for — and they ask when you're available to meet.

Overwhelmed with excitement, you may be inclined to say something along the lines of, "I can come in whenever you'd like me to," or, "How's tomorrow?"

But if you have the luxury of choosing the day and time to meet, consider being more strategic.

Glassdoor reports that certain times of day, and certain days of the week, are better than others.

After reviewing an Accountemps 2008 survey and Andrew Bradbury's book, "Successful Presentation Skills," writer Kate Parham determined that the best time to give a presentation is Tuesday morning around 10:30 a.m.

"Considering that the 'best' presentation times and interview times are likely similar, then Tuesday morning could be a great time to set up your interview," writes career expert Rusty Rueff.

People are shown to be most productive on Tuesdays and won't feel rushed by the time they meet you. It's also late enough in the day that your interviewer has had time to check their email, have a cup of coffee, and get ready for your arrival.

If that time slot isn't an option, think about when the interviewer would likely be in the best mood and most focused.

Here are some tips for selecting an interview time:

Avoid early-morning meetings. 

Rueff says mornings are great for holding someone's attention, but you may want to avoid the first meeting of the morning because the interviewer may be preoccupied with "home stuff and all the things that need to happen throughout the day." 

You should especially avoid first thing Monday morning, if possible, he says.

Avoid the last meeting of the workday. 

You also don't want to be someone's last meeting of the workday, because there's a good chance the interviewer's attention might not solely be on you. They could be thinking about priorities that they have after work, such as dinner plans, kids' homework, etc., says Rueff. "And don't even think about the end of the day on a Friday." 

Avoid pre- or post-lunch meetings.

Just before or after lunch can also problematic. 

"Before lunch can leave you with a good interview being cut short, and after lunch can find you waiting and waiting," Rueff explains. Plus, if you catch the interviewer before lunch when they're hungry, they may not be in the best of moods.

Whole Foods is notoriously expensive, and Trader Joe's has a reputation for being pretty cheap. But just how big is the price discrepancy?

I scoured the aisles and compared the prices of 24 items at Trader Joe's to Whole Foods' private label, 365 Everyday Value, which aims to offer value prices every day of the year. Expecting the Whole Foods prices to be really high, I was pleasantly surprised at how comparable some items were. And it turns out that the specialty grocer has a few hidden deals.

Of course in general you'll get the most bang for your buck at Trader Joe's, but check out the price breakdown yourself. Keep in mind that some of the Whole Foods 365 items are offered only in organic form, while Trader Joe's typically offers both an organic and regular option. I chose to highlight the cheapest option I could find at both chains:

Yogurt

Trader Joe's: $3.19 per 32-ounce container

Whole Foods 365: $3.19 per 32-ounce container

My first pleasant surprise came in the yogurt aisle, where I found the same size container of organic yogurt for the same price.

Milk

Trader Joe's: $2.29 per half-gallon

Whole Foods 365: $3.99 per half-gallon

Milk at Whole Food's was noticeably pricier. If you went through a half-gallon of milk a week, you'd be saving about $90 a year if you shopped at Trader Joe's.

Note that the Whole Foods milk is organic.

Almond milk

Trader Joe's: $2.99 per half-gallon

Whole Foods 365: $3.69 per half-gallon

If you're more of an almond-milk person, shopping at Trader Joe's would save you about $35 a year if you went through one carton a week.

Note that Whole Foods' almond milk is organic.

Cities are bound to change in the coming years as populations grow and technology improves the quality of how we live.

Many reports have been written on the subject, including a recent one by Samsung titled the SmartThings Future of Living Report that looks at how the urban landscape will alter in the next century.

But we got a glimpse closer into the future about how our cities will look from futurist Ian Pearson, a fellow at the World Academy for Arts and Science. Here are 6 ways you can expect cities to change by 2050.

Buildings will reach new heights, and could be as tall as 18 miles, Pearson claims. For reference, that's more than 8,000 stories high!

The current record holder for tallest building is Dubai's Burj Khalifa at 163 stories.

Our ability to create taller buildings means we will have massive space ports that will decrease travel time to the galaxy.

A space port is a super tall building that would support a rocket launch. 

Pearson said launching a rocket from a space port would result in a shorter trip and would require less fuel, hence its appeal.

The Samsung report reasons that massive autonomous drones will transport people to different floors because elevators will be difficult in buildings this tall.

"We might have... thousands of people living in a single building as a self-contained city," Pearson said.

Because buildings will have never before seen infrastructures, they could serve as individual mini cities. This could be a good thing considering as people get older, overpopulation becomes a bigger problem.

Next week is a busy one for travel — three-day weekends have a way of encouraging wanderlust. If you're one of the many jetting off to the Caribbean for the occasion, or scheduling a ski weekend in Stowe, good for you. Even though it's not much time away from the rigors of work, you're making the most of it. 

As far as packing for short jaunts like these, you probably won't need too much; a slighter larger bag than your briefcase should do the job just fine. Think duffels.

There are plenty of options you can bring with you to work — in lieu whatever bag you normally use — so you can head straight to the train or airport afterward. When you're not traveling, you can also use them for stowing your gym gear in, along with your laptop, so you never end up carrying around two bags instead of one. Don't make your commute needlessly cumbersome; check out 12 easy fixes, in a range of prices, below.

It's a wrap on the 2016 Oscars, but it's never too soon to think about next year. Just ask the Oscar producers themselves. 

Chris Rock redeemed his less-than-stellar first Oscar hosting gig in 2005 with a strong performance Sunday night, topped by a funny, incisive opening monologue that touched on #OscarsSoWhite.

But with the ceremony's ratings getting the second-lowest on record, it's not likely Rock will be asked to come back next year.

So here are five suggestions we have for the 2017 host.

Key and Peele

Fans of Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele have been shouting for them to host the Oscars, or Golden Globes, or anything really, for some time now. 

Key and Peele (who had a popular Comedy Central show by the same name) have hit a high enough level now that taking the hosting duties for the Oscars wouldn't be too big of a stage for them. And though your grandmother doesn't know who they are, that's not a bad thing. What the Academy needs to start doing is drawing young people back to the show.

Kevin Hart

If the Academy needs a marquee name, Kevin Hart is ready for the job (anyone else feel he was doing an audition for the host spot Sunday night?). 

He's a major box-office draw, and you can't question his abilities on the stage. 

Louis C.K.

One guy the Academy would kill for is Louis C.K., who got big laughs in a minor presenting spot Sunday night. But as much as we and they would love for him to host, it's probably a long shot. 

Louis has never been one to take on a gig this big, though that would be the best thing about it. With his downer style, it would make for some funny material. 

Instead of asking the audience for money for Girl Scout cookies, like Rock did this year, he would probably ask for money to pay for a documentary filmmaker's flight back home.
