Get some rest.

It's advice we've all heard before — for a good reason.

The more quality shut eye you get, the more refreshed you'll be in the morning. In turn, that'll set you up to effectively tackle the challenges of your day.

On the opposite end, as Arianna Huffington told Business Insider, there's a direct correlation between sleep deprivation and an increase in stress and negative health effects.

That's why it's important to adopt... Читать дальше...

The Chicago Cubs have come out of nowhere to play like the best team in baseball, and it looks like they're only going to get better.

Surging since the All-Star break, the Cubs have won six consecutive games through Thursday before a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday, and sit just one game behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central. The defending World Series champs were a disappointing 43-45 heading into the Midsummer Classic. Now... Читать дальше...

According to Marine vet and former US Capitol Police agent Andrew Wittman, life's not about finding the right answers.

It's about asking the right questions.

"If you ask a bad question, you're going to get a bad answer," he tells Business Insider. "I've done personal training for a number of years. I've had clients just come up and ask me, 'Why am I fat?' That's a bad, horrible question. A better question would be, 'How can I be healthy and fit?'

During his stint as a federal agent... Читать дальше...

The four horsemen of the Diesel Apocalypse are saddling up.

The signs are everywhere:

• Studies show that diesel emissions are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each year;

• Many countries are planning to outlaw diesels (as well as gas-powered vehicles) within the next 20 or 30 years, anticipating a transition to emissions-free electric cars.

His flawless round came with eight birdies and no bogeys on Saturday, where the weather held for a fairly pleasant day of golf for the players at Royal Birkdale.

A few weeks into his new job, The Journal said, Spicer asked his aide to go to the executive office building located near the White House and tell junior staffers to send him their mini-fridge.

The staffers reportedly refused to do so. As a result, Spicer was forced to wait until the evening... Читать дальше...

Each one of us has had the experience of being asked a question that we don’t want to answer. This happens in both our professional and personal life, and we often don’t know how to proceed quickly or gracefully.

Essentially, the reason you don’t want to answer a question is what gives you a strategy for responding:

• The asker has not earned the right to have that question answered due to the level of personal relationship they have with you.

"Go big or go home": It's probably a good life mantra, but it's an especially good online-dating mantra.

That's what I took away from my conversation with Match Group CEO Mandy Ginsberg, the exec who oversees Match, OKCupid, and Plenty of Fish. I asked Ginsberg about her best recommendation for someone new to online dating.

"You get out of it what you put into it," she told me. "If you just have one photo and two lines in your profile, people don't take you as seriously."

In the lead-up to Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather's mega-fight, many have doubted McGregor's ability to learn years worth of boxing training over the course of a few months.

After all, Mayweather sports a perfect 49-0 career record and is one of the quickest, most evasive fighters boxing has ever seen.

While McGregor is one of the best fighters in the world, he has specialized in several styles of fighting, as opposed to just the one he'll have to use against a master of the style. Читать дальше...

Minting a million-dollar fortune isn't the remarkable feat it used to be.

It remains a marker of immense wealth, but the club is growing ever more crowded, with nearly 33 million people across the globe now laying claim to fortunes in excess of $1 million, according to estimates by Credit Suisse in its most recent Global Wealth Databook. 

The US alone claims 13.6 million adults with a net worth above $1 million — that's 41% of all the world's... Читать дальше...

(Slate) — An official Harvard University committee has recommended that the administration prohibit all students from joining exclusive, traditionally single-gender social clubs like fraternities, sororities, and so-called “final clubs.”

After a damning report found that Harvard final clubs enabled a culture of sexual violence, the school moved last spring to force all final clubs—centuries-old, usually all-male institutions—to admit women or risk having members... Читать дальше...

The Islamic State stands on the brink of a twin defeat. Mosul, the largest city under its control, has almost entirely fallen from its grasp, and Kurdish-led forces are advancing into its de facto capital of Raqqa.

Now, as the saying goes, comes the hard part. The Islamic State's territorial setbacks have introduced new questions about the basic future of the Middle East.

Foreign Policy has assembled a group of policymakers and regional experts to answer them. Читать дальше...

On Monday, President Donald Trump threatened to take "strong and swift economic actions" if Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro proceeded with his plan to create a super-legislative body to rewrite the country's constitution.

Trump's remark came a day after Venezuelans overwhelmingly rebuked Maduro in an unofficial referendum.

Despite those admonishments, Maduro has vowed to proceed, saying on Tuesday, "Here in Venezuela, Venezuelans give the orders, not Trump."

Christopher Nolan has done everything from making imaginatively complex dramas about the heights people will go after losing a loved one ("Memento" and "The Prestige"), to resurrecting a comic book franchise for the big screen with sophistication ("The Dark Knight" movies).

Now with his latest movie, "Dunkirk," he takes on his first-ever war epic.
