Sports are a great way to get in some exercise.

And while burning calories isn't the only measure of an exercise's value, the number can tell you something about how hard you're working your body.

The important caveat here is that exercising on its own actually doesn't do much to make you lose weight.

Sports get your heart going, which can help you live longer. But if you want to slim down, we suggest talking to a doctor about what a healthy weight is for you and working on cutting sugar and large portions out of your diet.

Still,  keeping track of calories burned per hour is a good measure of how intense a particular exercise is. The Mayo Clinic, drawing on research published by the National Institutes of Health, lists 36 popular forms of exercise by their caloric impacts.

We've ordered the sports on that list from least to most intense, with approximate calories burned per hour for a 200-pound person listed for each activity. (An average adult American weighs just under 200 pounds.) We also calculated the value for one other sport, soccer, based on the root NIH data and included it on this list.

Keep in mind that the numbers here are approximate. Also, just because an exercise burns calories faster doesn't mean it's necessarily the best option. The best exercise is the one you enjoy enough to get up and do regularly.

Chef Daniel Humm and business partner Will Guidara are best known for their work at the Michelin-starred restaurants The NoMad and Eleven Madison Park, which was named the best restaurant in the world earlier this month. 

But now the team is planning to bring their award-winning food to the masses with a brand-new fast-casual concept called Made Nice. 

"At Made Nice our goal is to serve guests delicious, composed dishes, that are affordable and quick – using the recipes, skills, and techniques we've perfected at Eleven Madison Park and The NoMad," Humm told Business Insider by email.

"This is the most casual restaurant we've opened, but we still want it to be delicious, to have gracious hospitality, and to embody all the values we employ at Eleven Madison Park and NoMad."

At Eleven Madison Park, a several-hours-long tasting menu costs $295 a person, but at Made Nice, guests can get a salad for between $11 and $15.

Made Nice opens for lunch Monday in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan, but Business Insider got a sneak peek at the dishes that diners can look forward to.

The dishes have the same artistry you would expect from a meal at the team's high-end restaurants.

The vibe, however, is altogether more welcoming and informal.

"We like to think of Eleven Madison Park as the type of restaurant you go to once a year, or to celebrate special occasions, NoMad as the restaurant you visit once a month for a fun night out, and we hope that Made Nice becomes a place where you can visit multiple times a week," Humm said.

Luxury and richness come at varying price points, and creating a space that feels and looks expensive doesn't always have to be costly.

"Sometimes when working with a limited budget, it's easy to say 'let's play it safe," Homepolish designer Ariel Farmer told Business Insider. "More often than not this route leads to the blah and boring world of beige walls and matching sofas and love seats."

However, says Farmer, "You can just as easily achieve your aspirational home goals through sensible purchases and investing in foundational pieces with high impact."

Below, Farmer shares five tips for decorating your home to feel rich when you're on a budget.

1. Invest in a few primary pieces of furniture

If you're designing a living room, for example, Farmer suggests investing in statement furniture, like the sofa or media console, because as "the largest and most utilized pieces of the room ... it's imperative they be functional and stylish."

Farmer says it's important to "steer away from anything too bulky, rounded or 'of the moment.' The pieces you invest in should be timeless and able to evolve with you."

2. Or try a high-quality accent piece

Furniture doesn't always need to be the big investment, says Farmer, especially if you already own an older or inexpensive piece you want to keep. Buying high-quality accent pieces, like pillows and throw blankets, can elevate the overall look of a room, too.

"Sometimes, that $200 lumbar pillow makes your thrift store find of a lounge chair seem like it was ripped out of the pages of the latest design magazine," she said.

Ultimately, "it's more about the mix of high and low and buying the best quality that your budget can allow," Farmer says.

3. Get a good paint job

According to Farmer, "a good paint job goes a long way."

She says it's an "inexpensive way to add drama and glamour to a space," without breaking the bank. "Life is too short to live in a white box (unless it's intentional to the design of course!)."

It's been two years since well-known Silicon Valley executive Dave Goldberg died tragically from a heart attack at a Mexican resort while vacationing with his family.

Goldberg was the beloved husband of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and, as is her way, she took her grief and turned it into something that she hopes the whole world can learn from: another book, which is available for sale on Monday.

This one is about finding your inner resilience and coping with adversity. The book is called "Option B" and is co-authored with psychologist and best-selling author of "Give and Take" Adam Grant.

The name came from a story she included when she posted a long, heartbreaking essay shortly after her husband died.

"I was talking to one of these friends about a father-child activity that Dave is not here to do. We came up with a plan to fill in for Dave. I cried to him, "But I want Dave. I want option A." He put his arm around me and said, "Option A is not available. So let's just kick the shit out of option B."

In a post on Monday announcing that the book is now available, Sandberg explains the hidden blessing she found as she was forced to endure her grief:

"I’m a different person now than I was before I lost Dave. I know what it feels like when the void is closing in on you. But I also appreciate life in a way I didn’t before – and I know that we have within us the capacity not just to endure, but to grow."

While she clearly still pines for Option A, Goldberg himself, and can hardly talk about him in the video below without tearing up, Sandberg does seem to be back thriving among the living again.

For instance, she's been dating Bobby Kotick, the billionaire CEO of gaming company Activision. She's out heavily promoting her new book. (Her last book "Lean In" jump-started a new wave of corporate activism for women.) And she's speaking up on political subjects, for instance, against the Trump administration's ban on letting health care providers discuss abortion with their patients. She also changed Facebook's bereavement leave to up to 20 paid days. The corporate standard for paid leave is three days.

Here's the new video for her new book, in which Sandberg and many other people featured in the book discuss the difficulties they had to face and the methods they used to heal and thrive.

NOW WATCH: Here's why Google went to Burning Man to find its next CEO

Actors Jenny Slate and Zachary Quinto found stardom through different avenues.

Quinto spent four years starring on the TV show "Heroes" and has played Spock in the new "Star Trek" movies since 2009. Slate, meanwhile, spent years building a career in the comedy world (which included a short stint on "Saturday Night Live" in 2009) leading to the 2014 comedy movie "Obvious Child," which made her much more visible. She was soon doing voice work on hits like "Zootopia" and "The Secret Life of Pets" and became a tabloid fixture thanks to dating Chris Evans after the two starred in the movie "Gifted."

But Quinto and Slate share a lot in the kinds of stories they want to tell. At this year's Tribeca Film Festival, the two star in the movie "Aardvark." Quinto plays Josh Norman, who's dealing with an estranged relationship with his brother Craig (Jon Hamm) and has hallucinations of him. Slate plays Emily, Josh's therapist who also happens to be sleeping with Craig.

It's a story perfect for the independent-film crowd (the movie is seeking distribution at the festival), which means it's not going to be seen by a wide audience. So why make the movie if it can't be seen by the masses?

Slate and Quinto, who is also a producer on "Aardvark," sat down with Business Insider in New York City following the world premiere of the movie to talk about what motivates the choices they make in their careers.

Jason Guerrasio: Zachary, you produced this, and you're friends with the writer-director Brian Shaof. Was this always intended as a project you would star in?

Zachary Quinto: I have a production company, this is the sixth or seventh movie, so it's something that I'm interested in aside from my work as an actor. This is only the second movie we've produced that I've been in. But it's interesting, the journey of this project, because Brian sent it to me probably a year and a half before we made it and it was a different thing. There were different producers, there was an actor attached to play Josh, and he sent it to me to play Craig. And it wasn't something that I responded to from that perspective so I let it go. But that then all fell apart and we had a conversation about it from the production standpoint because he was looking for new partners to make it. So I said, "Look, if I'm going to put my resources and my company's resources into helping you get this together, then I feel I want to be a part of it as Josh, not as Craig." So we reformulated a plan and we came on as producers so from there it was always with the mindset of me playing Josh. And we got it together again.

Guerrasio: Jenny, how did you get involved?

Jenny Slate: I had met Zach socially. You came to one of my stand-up shows.

Quinto: That's right.

Slate: So we met many years ago through one of our mutual friends and we sort of enjoyed each other. We got stuck at an airport one time for like six hours — it was really fun. [Laughs] Zach was put in the back of the plane and I was randomly put in first class and he was so genuinely pissed.

Quinto: I was so upset.

Slate: But then we started hanging out and every time we hung out we felt this nice connection and we would hang out for hours. So he sent me the script maybe a few months before we made the movie and asked would I be interested in it. And I was so thrilled to get the script — it's really beautiful and rich and you connect to it the way you connect to a person. It kind of made me nervous. I think the right way to connect to a person you don't understand is to be curious, you know, in an appropriate way that's useful. And I was really curious, I felt I did understand what this was about, I believe I can play this part. But I had to ask some questions about the role and I think there are so many times I get a script that are just, "Here's the woman, here's what she's like, no questions asked, please do this or leave." And you're just like, "That sucks." So this was a different situation and it was just so full of life and energy. So that's what happened. Zach sent me the script, I read it immediately, I emailed him immediately being like, "I think I get it," and I jumped on.

Quinto: Yeah, from those experiences I had with Jenny socially I knew I really wanted to find a way to collaborate with her and so when we put this version of the film together and had the timing and everything and finally knew when we wanted to shoot it, Jenny was the first person I thought of. So she was the first person that we sent it to and I was blown away by her response, which was really thoughtful and articulate and curious, and I was like, "Wow, she gets it on every level." That was really heartening and I was so grateful. And that's one of my favorite parts of producing, reaching out to my friends and saying, "Hey, this is what I want to do. Do you want to be a part of it?" And when the answer is such an enthusiastic yes, it's even more exciting.

Guerrasio: Do you two consciously keep pockets in your schedule open to make indie movies? Both of you are getting offers for bigger projects. How important is it to find time to make these smaller movies?

Slate: This is something that I'm working on, but I will say that for me, my first job was on "SNL," and that's a really specific and rigid environment that is sort of known for having so much output. Every week you're writing a show that's roughly an hour and a half long and it's new material or repeated sketches that are trying to be reinvigorated, and I learned there it was the most stifling creative environment for me because the heartbeat of it was not in line with the way that I am. And seeing that was my first job, I had a real opportunity to be, "Oh, this does not work for me." I know I will sometimes be unhappy with the work — you can't constantly be a bouncing ball — but for me I don't do a lot of large projects. I do a lot of large animated films.

Guerrasio: Doing voice work.

Slate: Yeah, but those take two years and take three hours at a time.

Guerrasio: That's an incredible gig.

Slate: Yeah, it's awesome, and I didn't do it on purpose, but I will say that it probably shows up because in general what I'm trying to work on is having my life as an artist and my life as a woman be totally as integrated as possible and it's just not worth it to me if it doesn't feel that way. I end up doing a lot of indie movies because that's the least risk-averse environment and I just don't like being bored because it makes me mad and I don't feel comfortable being angry. [Laughs] But in general, there are not blocks of stuff in my life. I'm not on a TV show pretty much on purpose. I don't want to be in anything that will last for seven years, except for maybe hopefully one day another relationship with a person. [Laughs] But currently I've not really been able to get that done. The only thing I try to have blocks for are to call my grandmothers. And exercise.

Guerrasio: How about you, Zachary? You are kind of contractually obligated to do a big franchise in "Star Trek" for at least a couple of more movies.

Quinto: I really don't think of it in terms of that. I think of it in terms of looking for material that I am ignited by and kind of the size of it or the scope. I do feel fortunate to have an association with this franchise that comes back around every so often and then gives me the freedom to do other things. I might have had a different relationship to it if I wasn't involved with that. It does take up time, but it also affords me opportunities to do other stuff and theater is something that is enormously important to me, and if I can make the kind of living doing plays that I made doing film and television, like, you would never see me in those because that's all I would do. So that's the kind of thing I like to come back to and I don't really consider the size or the scope of it — I consider the experience of it and how I might evolve from it.

Guerrasio: You've gone in headfirst as a producer. Are you interested in directing? You haven't done that yet.

Quinto: I am, actually. I feel like writing and directing are things that I need to carve out more time for, especially on the writing side. I need to cultivate a new type of discipline. I'm working on figuring out how to do that. Once I figure out the kind of story I want to tell, it will become a lot easier to figure out how to tell it.

Last Thursday evening, some of the world's most innovative minds joined each other for dinner at one of the country's most storied old-money estates.

The dinner was held by the Kairos Society, an elite group of young business entrepreneurs working to solve global issues, as part of its annual Global Summit. The summit brings together leaders from across industries — from Amazon CTO Werner Vogels to Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides — for a three-day event filled with discussion on how to solve market failures in industries like social security and retirement, affordable access to healthcare, and fake news, among others.

Guests were helicoptered from Manhattan to Tarrytown, New York, to kick off the weekend with a dinner at the 3,500-acre Rockefeller Estate. Business Insider was invited to cover the event — here's what we saw.

Guests gathered inside a lounge belonging to on-demand helicopter startup Blade, which flew guests north of Manhattan toward the Rockefeller Estate.

When we landed at the heliport, guests were kindly greeted by Kairos Society members and transferred to luxury shuttles.

Adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted has some sad news for those expecting a manufacturing revival in either the US or Europe.

Speaking to the Financial Times, Rorsted dispelled the notion that the bulk of manufacturing could come back to Europe in the near future.

"Our production landscape is 90% Asia-based. I do not believe, and it’s a complete illusion to believe, that manufacturing can go back to Europe in terms of volume," he told the FT.

Rorsted wasn't any more optimistic about moving manufacturing to the US either.

“[Moving] to the US, the only thing you get out of it is potentially a political interest, you are moving into a market where you have no competence. Just financially it's very illogical and highly unlikely that will happen," he said.

Rorsted added that this "goes for the entire industry," and also applies to its main competitors in the US: Nike and Under Armour.

Adidas is pioneering its highly automated "speedfactory" in both Germany and Atlanta, which is designed to increase the speed to market of low-volume designs and products. These are essentially pilot projects for advanced manufacturing, which Rorsted says will eventually make its way to Asia.

“What you're going to see is sophisticated manufacturing technology manufacturing shoes for a very small market segment, and then you're going to see those sophisticated manufacturing technologies taken back into China,” he said.

The net effect of this: manufacturing is staying in Asia, according to Rorsted.

NOW WATCH: Teens told us the brands they love and can't live without

There are moments in life when your phone's camera is crucial: your child's first steps, or their graduation from high school, for instance.

But your phone is likely full of stuff, and you could end up facing this obnoxious message:

There are few things as frustrating in our convenience-filled world as repeatedly running into your phone's storage limit. It means an action as simple as taking a photo is delayed while you free up space ... often by deleting old photos.

For most people hitting that storage limit, there's one culprit: photos. 

They take up a lot of space, and you take a lot of them — you might even be taking "HDR" photos (which are even larger files than standard photos). So, what do you do? You have two main options:

1. Buy a phone with more internal storage, which costs more money.
2. Regularly offload photos and delete them from your phone, which costs your time.

But there's a third, totally free, amazingly simple option: Google Photos. Here's everything you should know about Google's secret-best service.

If you have a Google account — Gmail, for instance — you already have Google Photos.

It's true, and it's incredibly simple:

-Navigate to photos.google.com (while signed in to your Gmail account).

-Start using Google Photos!

If, for some reason, you don't already have a Google account, you'll need one to use Google Photos. Signing up is free and easy.

But let's not kid ourselves — y0u probably have a Google account already, right? Almost certainly.

But you're here to free up space on your phone, right? For that you're going to need the Google Photos app — it's available for free on both the iTunes App Store and Google Play:

The app is really where the best Google Photos stuff is. I'll explain why momentarily, but first and foremost you need download links — here they are:

-iTunes App store

-Google Play store

Now that you've got the app installed, what's so good about it? While there are many answers to that question, prime among them is Google Photos' "Back up & Sync" function.

Despite logic dictating that you should click the "Free up space" option in the main menu, the first place you should navigate is the "Back up & Sync" menu in Settings. 

This is the main reason that Google Photos is so great: It takes your entire photo library — every photo you've ever taken on your phone, as well as screenshots and photos taken within Instagram and whatever else — and uploads it to the internet. The photos remain private, hidden behind your Google account information, but now you can access them anywhere. On your laptop? Yep. On a new phone? Yep. On your tablet? Yep, there too. 

This unto itself is pretty incredible — but what's even more incredible is what this means for the concept of storing photos on your phone. Specifically: You can straight up delete your entire photo library, thus freeing up a tremendous amount of your phone's free space.

There's evidence that tripping on magic mushrooms could actually free the mind.

Several small studies have linked the psychoactive ingredient in shrooms (which are illegal) with several purported health benefits, including the potential to help relieve anxiety and depression. But, as with any drug, shrooms also come with risks. And because they're classified as Schedule 1— meaning they have "no accepted medical use" — it's been pretty tough for scientists to tease out exactly what they can and can't do.

Here are a few of the ways we know shrooms can affect your brain and body:

On April 26, 1986, a radioactive release 10 times bigger than the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power station inside the Soviet Union. It would go down in history as one of the worst disasters of its kind.

The explosion blasted radioactive gas and dust into the air, and winds carried it across central and southern Europe. Thirty-one people died in the accident, and countless lives have been affected long-term by the exposure to radiation.

Around 350,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes in the "Nuclear Exclusion Zone," the area in a 19-mile radius around the plant. The town hardest hit was Pripyat, Ukraine — it was quickly abandoned and remains empty to this day.

Ahead, 17 photos that show what the zone looked like in 2016.

The cause of the explosion was two-fold. The first major issue was that the power station was built with faulty construction and what American physicist and Nobel laureate Hans Bethe has called "built-in instability."

Source: PBS Frontline

At the time of the accident, the power station had four 1,000-megawatt power reactors in place. A fifth one was in the works.

One of the multiple issues was the reactor's containment structure. Built entirely of concrete, it should have been reinforced with steel. Here, a view of a baby's crib in the abandoned village of Zalesye.

Rolex is a storied brand — one of, if not the most notable in the watchmaking world.

So it's surprising how relatively little there is to know about the beginnings of the 100-plus-year-old brand. Even something as simple as where its name came from is shrouded in mystery.

Rolex, for its official brand story, plays it pretty simple. According the brand's official website, founder Hans Wilsdorf wanted his new brand of watches to have a short name that could be said in any language.

Most importantly, he wanted something that looked good on the watches themselves, and that was symmetrical in capital letters.

"I tried combining the letters of the alphabet in every possible way," Wilsdorf supposedly said, according to Rolex. "This gave me some hundred names, but none of them felt quite right. One morning, while riding on the upper deck of a horse-drawn omnibus along Cheapside in the City of London, a genie whispered 'Rolex' in my ear."

If that seems incomplete to you, you're not alone. Adding a bit of color to the story is an essay in NYU's Stern Business School newsletter, written by adjunct professor of management David Liebeskind, who claims that Wilsdorf also thought "Rolex" seemed like an onomatopoeia of a watch ticking.

So, basically it doesn't really mean anything. (Some have suggested that it's short for "horological excellence," but there's no proof that Wilsdorf ever claimed that.)

It also hides the brand's English roots, as the brand began in London in 1908 and moved to Geneva, Switzerland, in 1919.

NOW WATCH: These are the watches worn by the smartest and most powerful men in the world

There's an ongoing debate over whether grown men should actually wear shorts. If you do choose to wear them, we won't judge.

It's warm, and you don't want to suffocate. We get it. But there's no debating how to look good in them.

Since there's so little fabric to shorts to begin with, the details have to be exactly right. That includes length and width.

At this point, we're almost making a parody of ourselves by saying men should avoid cargo shorts. Nevertheless, it bears repeating: cargo shorts look terrible, often fit poorly, come with inseams that are too long, and create a mismatched silhouette.

Shorts need to fit well.

First: Make sure your shorts hit above your knee. This is the most important thing to consider when wearing shorts. We don't care how short or long they are exactly, as long as they hit above the knee.

For most guys, this is going to be about 5 to 7 inches of inseam if you're about average height. Any longer, and you start looking like you're about to hit the skate park.

The second-most important thing to consider is how tight your shorts are. You want them to be slightly fitted, following the natural taper of your legs. If you have a pair of shorts with a large leg opening that billows around your knees, that's going to ruin your silhouette, causing an imbalance and making your bottom half look awkward and visually heavier than your top half.

Fit them into an outfit. 

The rest of wearing shorts comes down to what you pair them with. We recommend you wear low-top shoes like a moc-style loafer or white sneaker with short socks, no-show socks, or no socks at all. Large socks coming up your ankles look a little weird when most of your legs are completely bare.

The next thing you have to pay attention to is the top block. While the safest choice is to wear a short-sleeved shirt or t-shirt, you can also get away with sweatshirts or long-sleeved shirts. Just remember that shorts are inherently casual, and your shirt and shoes should be, too.

You cannot, however, wear a blazer with shorts. The visual imbalance is too great to get away with, and shorts are much too casual a look to pair with formal clothing.

The rest is up to you. 

As for color, style, and choice of fabric, the rest is completely up to your discretion and your own personal style. Chino-style shorts are very popular as default casual shorts, as are what some retailers are dubbing "dock shorts" — elastic waistband shorts that are very comfortable and come with a drawstring and fewer pockets.

NOW WATCH: 7 outdated fashion rules that men can now ignore

Blade, the on-demand "Uber for helicopters" startup, wants to help its customers avoid the airport completely. 

The startup has launched a partnership with Delta Air Lines to streamline the transfer process for passengers flying in and out of New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. 

Delta passengers arriving to JFK, including from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and London, can arrange to be met on the jet bridge by Delta's Elite Services team, who will gather their checked luggage and bring them to an awaiting Blade car on the tarmac.

That car then brings them to a Blade helicopter, which will get them to Manhattan in less than 10 minutes. Blade operates three lounges in Manhattan, where passengers can arrange to be dropped off. 

Passengers using Blade's services to depart out of JFK will go through an expedited TSA screening process before being transferred to their Delta flight. A Delta Elite Services team member will personally handle their luggage and escort the passenger to their seat.

"We partnered with Delta given their relentless focus on raising the industry bar on passenger innovation," Blade founder and CEO Rob Wiesenthal told Business Insider. "With Blade, this innovation now includes reducing the time and friction associated with traveling between Manhattan and JFK. "

The transfer through Delta costs $250 plus $1,000 for the private helicopter, which has six seats. It can be booked via the Blade app. It's worth noting that a typical Blade airport ride to JFK (without the Delta Elite Services team, and with the typical TSA screening) starts at $195 a seat.

NOW WATCH: This $250M mansion is the most expensive home for sale in the US — complete with a helicopter and a $30M car collection

Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway has lavish new digs in the nation's capital, according to a report by The Washingtonian.

An anonymous real estate source told the magazine that Trump's former campaign manager was the likely buyer of a house listed for $8 million by the late Moeen Qureshi, former interim Prime Minister of Pakistan and a former vice president of the World Bank.

The house was originally purchased as two separate properties, but Qureshi combined them into one. It's been on and off the market for years, though there's no word on the price that Conway actually paid for the home.

The home has eight bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, and three half-baths, in addition to staff quarters that house another three bedrooms and two bathrooms. 

Stewart Coleman, Edward Poutier, Amanda Mitchell, and Douglas Blocker of Coldwell Banker had the listing.

The best way to build wealth is to prioritize assets over income. But ensuring that your assets outweigh your liabilities can be impacted greatly by the city you call home.

This week, online personal finance consultant Bankrate.com released a report ranking America's best and worst metro areas for building wealth.

To create the list, Bankrate.com ranked the 21 largest metro areas in five categories that contribute directly to an individual's ability to build their wealth:

• Savable income: average income after taxes and expenditures
  
• Human capital: unemployment rate, educational opportunities, and productivity
• Debt burden: non-mortgage debt per capita and average credit score
• Homeownership: average annual change in home prices, foreclosure actions, and homeownership rate
• Access to financial services: Percentage of workers with access to retirement plans

San Francisco came out on top as the best place to build wealth, followed by Minneapolis and Washington, DC.

“In some metro areas, like San Francisco, homeownership can be prohibitively expensive, but higher-than-average salaries can help residents stash more money away in tax-advantaged retirement accounts," wrote Claes Bell, a Bankrate.com analyst and the author of the study. "On the other hand, Minneapolis-area residents don't earn as much, but the area's affordable housing and recovering real estate market provide opportunities to build wealth over the long term through home equity."

Read on to see how the 21 largest US cities stack up for building wealth, as well as the average savable income, homeownership rate, and non-mortgage debt per capita for each city.

NOW WATCH: Scott Galloway: The big 4 have created enormous wealth by tapping into our most basic instincts

The headliners of any given year's Coachella festival are pretty much music royalty, and at the 2017 fest that just wrapped last weekend, they were definitely treated as such in their accomdations for their stay.

Drake, Lady Gaga, and Kendrick Lamar stayed in luxurious homes provided by Airbnb. The large pool spaces, fire pits, mountain views, and in-home bars (and a wine cellar) gave the artists a lot of room to relax in between their performances, which last over two weekends. One of the Airbnb homes even has a tennis court. As with just about everything that goes on at Coachella, these rentals go all out.

They also come at hefty prices as high as $10,000 a night. But the best part for the stars? They got to stay in them for free. (They shouted out their thanks on social media.)

Here are the luxurious home that Drake, Lady Gaga, and Kendrick Lamar stayed in courtesy of Airbnb for Coachella:

Drake stayed in this Villa Grande Bellezza Airbnb, which goes for $10,000 per night.

The home is in Benedict Canyon in Los Angeles, several hours of driving away from Indio, California, where Coachella takes place.

It has plenty of space.

When I learned to drive, cars were pretty easy to understand: they ran on gas, which was fairly cheap, and they had radios.

Other transportation options were limited to boats, buses, trains, planes, and motorcycles. If you lived in a big city, you got around using mass transit and your feet.

Fast forward a few decades and the types of transportation are essentially the same, but the automobile has been radically remade by technology and the auto industry is being roiled by everything from electric vehicles and self-driving cars to ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft.

The biggest change to air travel has been the cost, which has come way down since I was 16.

Obviously, I cover transportation and have had a front-row seat for the last decade as a deluge of change has arrived. You might think that if I were to look back, I'd say that the electric car is the biggest change I've seen. Tesla is a $50-billion-market-cap company after all — larger by that measure that Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles!

But you'd be wrong.

Nor is Uber the biggest change I've seen. Nor the advent of high-end luxury air travel, low-cost carriers, or even a rising number of private jets.

High-speed rail? Not so much in the US. Flying cars? Nope.

By far the biggest transportation change I've seen is the explosion in bicycle riding. I lived away from the New York area over a decade ago, and while I rode a bike when I lived in NYC, I was unprepared for the proliferation of bikes on my return.

Bikes, bikes, everywhere

Bike-sharing schemes like CitiBike have two-wheeled conveyances scattered throughout Manhattan. And although everybody in the 1990s got used to dodging bike messengers, nowadays we dodge commuters — or folks who just want to ride across the Brooklyn Bridge. There are bike lanes everywhere — and bike-oriented traffic signals. People ride their bikes year round, rain, shine, sleet, or snow.

I feel as if there are now as many bike shops as there once were Greek coffee shops and dive bars. 

This change isn't limited to New York. Cycling has boomed in many other American cities. Whole new genres of bicycles have arrived: bikes with electric-assist motors, bikes with extra carrying capacity (the SUVs of bikes), sleek fixies, fat-tired cruisers, throwback hybrid bikes.

This has quietly become a big deal. Whereas 20 years ago, you took your life into your own hands if you tried to ride from New York's Upper East Side to Midtown, these days a vast flotilla of bikes has been integrated into the city's transportation ecosystem.

"More than three-quarters of a million New Yorkers ride a bike regularly—250,000 more than just five years ago." the NYC Department of Transportation said in its "Cycling in the City" report.

"It is estimated that over 450,000 cycling trips are made each day in New York City—triple the amount taken 15 years ago."

Honestly, I didn't see this coming, but I'm glad it did. Some changes on transportation are disorienting. But this one is welcome.

NOW WATCH: This light-up bike helmet has built-in turn signals

Oaktree Capital chairman Howard Marks has brought his eight-bedroom, 4,536-square-foot apartment back to the market.  

The spread is available at a much lower price point this time around: $27.5 million. 

It's the third time he's listed the full-floor unit, located at New York's 50 Central Park South and designed by Michael Smith, who also led the 2010 Oval Office makeover.

Marks, who reportedly paid close to $19 million for the apartment back in 2007, originally listed it in 2012, then again in 2015. He asked $50 million for it both times.

The luxury condo, which some have dubbed "Versailles in the Sky," has a 92-foot expanse overlooking Central Park. It's one of only 12 large condos located above the Ritz-Carlton, and resident amenities include a private lobby and an on-site gym and spa.

The apartment is now listed with Deborah Grubman, David Adler, and Paul Albano of Corcoran.

Tensions continue to increase between the US and North Korea, as President Trump has escalated rhetoric against the country during his first 100 days in office. 

This month, North Korea held a series of national celebrations honoring the 105th anniversary of the birth of North Korea founder Kim II Sung and the founding of the country's military. Foreign press were invited to cover the celebrations, considered the biggest national holiday of the year. Photos taken by Reuters' photojournalist of the year, Damir Sagolj, give us a rarely seen look inside the reclusive nation.

Below, see Sagolj's photos of the celebrations, as well as some shots of everyday life in Pyongyang, North Korea's capital.

Earlier in April, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held a ceremony for the opening of newly constructed residential complexes on Ryomyong street in Pyongyang.

A military march took place during the ceremony.

More than 100,000 people attended.
