Real-estate mogul Donald Trump held another one of his airport-hangar rallies on Saturday.

The Republican presidential front-runner landed his plane in Dubuque, Iowa — but not before showing off a little bit.

Trump's plane did a flyby as the theme song from "Air Force One" played before pulling up his own his "Trump Force One." He has a personal Boeing 757-200 jet with "TRUMP" written in giant letters across the side.

He did a similar stunt in December at an airport hangar in Mesa, Arizona. Читать дальше...

At Facebook, employees know that they don't need to become managers in order to be successful.

"The most important thing is that we choose managers who want to be managers," Lori Goler, Facebook's VP of people, told Business Insider.

Facebook is a strength-based organization, she said, and that means that leadership finds what employees excel at and place them in those roles. In order to determine what makes a manager excel at Facebook, a few years ago Goler and her... Читать дальше...

No relationship is perfect, in the personal or the business sphere.

But for the most part, a good relationship makes you feel secure, happy, cared for, respected, and free to be yourself.

On the other side of the coin are toxic relationships — the ones that make you feel drained, depleted, and sometimes even distraught.

Whether you're running a business, working with a partner, leading an organization, or managing a team, the last thing you need is a toxic relationship. Читать дальше...

In November — the sixth month of the Donald Trump phenomenon — he seemed to talk himself into the possibility.

"I'm going to win, I think," he told Business Insider in an interview then.

A little more than two months later — in the eighth month of his campaign — he is in prime position to do just that.

Beginning with an uproarious campaign launch in June, Trump has set the 2016 presidential campaign on fire, as he looks to do what most political observers once considered unthinkable... Читать дальше...

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Robert Redford is pretty sure this is the best Sundance Film Festival they've ever had, and he also knows that things have to change.

It's not the films. The quality, he said, is better than ever. It's the size.

"I'm starting to hear some negative comments about how crowded it is and how difficult it is to get from venue to venue when there's traffic and people in the streets and so forth," said Redford, who founded the film festival in 1978. "We're... Читать дальше...

A joint report between two Washington, D.C.-based think tanks concludes that the US is dangerously underestimating a jihadist group that could become even more of a threat to the long-term security of the country than ISIS.

The Institute for the Study of War and the American Enterprise Institute released its report last week. A group of experts, some of whom were involved in planning the 2007 surge of US troops in Iraq, met over multiple weeks to create the report. Читать дальше...

Where will American homebuyers turn in 2016?

According to real estate website Redfin, which releases an annual list of the hottest neighborhoods nationwide, buyers will be prioritizing affordability, charm, and access to public transportation in 2016. The emphasis on affordability explains why the San Francisco Bay Area — where the median sale price of homes is now over $1 million — didn't crack the top 10 for the first time.

"Another trend that has emerged in... Читать дальше...

Ellen Pao used to work for venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. She later sued her former employer for alleged discrimination. She claimed the firm denied her promotions and other opportunities because she was a woman, and she asked for $16 million in lost wages and other opportunities.

The trial did not go Pao's way. In May 2015, the jury ruled that Pao's gender wasn't a motivating reason for her not being promoted to general or senior partner... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Rock legend David Bowie wanted his ashes scattered in Bali "in accordance with the Buddhist rituals," and he left most of his estate to his two children and his widow, the supermodel Iman, according to his will filed Friday in Manhattan.

The 20-page document, filed under his legal name David Robert Jones, said the estate was worth about $100 million, but didn't break down the finances.

The "Fame" singer left his SoHo home he shared with Iman to her, and half of the rest of his worth. Читать дальше...

"The competition for tech talent today is undeniable," said Dice president Bob Melk in the report. "Employers realize offering competitive pay is a necessity. Читать дальше...

There's a wacky rumor going around about the Zika virus.

It centers around the bogus idea that genetically modified mosquitoes are to blame for the recent Zika outbreak across the Americas.

A number of articles cite a Redditor who seems to have jump-started the discussion about GM mosquitoes as a possible reason for the high number of cases in Brazil.

Not surprisingly, infectious disease experts think this idea is... well... laughable. 

Here's the backstory:

The unassuming Norman Bates might creep you out, and the flesh-hungry Hannibal Lecter might make your skin crawl.

But according to one group of psychiatrists, these men aren't Hollywood's most realistic psychopaths.

In fact, they may not be psychopaths at all.

Psychopathy, loosely defined, is a varying combination of cold-heartedness and violence. The most extreme psychopaths kill without remorse, mutilating victims with as much emotion as you or I might brush our teeth. Читать дальше...
