• Australian-born billionaire Rupert Murdoch, 87, helms a media empire made up of newspapers like The Wall Street Journal, television networks like Fox News, and a handful of other publications across the world. 
• Murdoch inherited his very first newspaper from his father, who was a war reporter turned publisher. 
• Bloomberg estimates his net worth to be $19 billion, as of March 2019. 

Rupert Murdoch's name is one synonymous with media, but it took decades to build his sprawling empire.

He owns dozens upon dozens of newspapers spanning 3 continents, founded the Fox network — responsible for revolutionizing cable television to what it is today — in the 1980s, and has a net worth $19 billion. That makes him the 47th-richest person in the world.

Forbes describes his wealth as self-made, but Murdoch has been interested in media ever since his dad, Keith, left him a string of Australian newspapers when he was just 22 years old. 

He then grew his network of papers into a multibillion-dollar domain, cementing his name as a magnate in the industry. The 87-year-old plans to do the same as his father — Murdoch is handing off the reigns of 21st Century Fox, among his other corporations, to his sons to continue the tradition. 

Over the span of his five-decade career, Murdoch has been in four marriages and has six kids. He's also been the subject of variety of scandals, most prominently when his UK-based paper News of the World was forced to shutter after it was found to have hacked the phone of a slain teenager.

Take a look at how Murdoch got his start, the deals he has made, and the growth of his empire.

Murdoch, seen here in 1960, inherited a chain of Australian newspapers from his father. According to Bloomberg, Murdoch embedded himself in all matters of production, from writing copy to managing the printer and redesigning page layouts.

He especially made it a priority to include "lurid stories and scandals," which made paper sales boom. He began buying other publications, including The Daily Mirror and the Perth Sunday Times.

Murdoch then went on to found Australia's first nationwide newspaper, The Australian, in 1964. Unlike Murdoch's other papers, it is not a tabloid.

Murdoch then founded News Corporation, known as News Corp, which owns more than 170 papers in Australia.

• The world has more than enough food to eat, but unfortunately, it's not the right kind. 
• On a daily basis, we're eating too much sugar and consuming too many grains, while not getting enough fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Part of the problem is that the world doesn't produce enough of the nutrients people really need. 

We are definitely getting enough to eat overall — it's just not the right stuff. 

Americans today consume about 400 more calories per day than they did in the 1970s, a 20% increase. Farmers and food manufacturers have ramped things up, too. Around the world, the amount of calories available to each person has gone up nearly a third (28%) in the past 50 years. In particular, the world's appetite for animals has soared: global per capita meat consumption has risen to nearly a hundred pounds per year, a dramatic uptick from the 67 pounds of meat people ate in the mid-1980s. 

But we've slowly been replacing fruits, vegetables, and good fats like olive oil, butter, and fish with cheap, mass-produced alternatives. And that's having an effect on our waistlines and long-term health.

"Access to convenient and inexpensive foods have changed global eating patterns and made it possible for many middle-income countries, especially in the Middle East and North Africa, to face a double burden of malnutrition and overweight or obesity," a new HSBC report warns.

The report is based on data from 45 wealthy and middle-income countries around the world, and it compares what the average person eats on a daily basis to the ideal recommended by doctors and nutritionists. Here's how it stacks up:

Of course, the example items on the plate above are symbolic. (Nutrition experts would never suggest that you need to eat an entire avocado each day or down five eggs to be healthy.) The picture is meant as a visual representation of what your body generally needs: the amount of fat in one avocado is about how much your body needs to power through a given day, for example. And you need no sugar at all. 

It's worth remembering that most healthy whole foods can't be neatly categorized into ticking one nutritional box, either. Eating an avocado, for example, is a great way to get some other nutrients besides fat — they're loaded with potassium, fiber, vitamins C and B-6, and magnesium. 

According to the HSBC report, the problem is systemic, not personal: Fruits and vegetables only account for 28% of global food production, even though those cancer-fighting foods should ideally make up more like 40% of our diets. A 2018 study found that the world produces "12 servings of grains, 5 of fruits and vegetables, 3 of oil and fat, 3 of protein, 1 of milk and 4 of sugar per person per day."

We don't need any of that sugar, and could stand to replace much of the grain and oil with fresh produce.

In the US, for example, subsidies for corn and soy make it cheap to produce unhealthy items like cereal, chips, and soda. That has allowed sugary, processed foods (which are clearly linked to more cancer cases and poor health) to become the backbone of many consumers' diets. Our fast food has also gotten saltier and heavier; a typical meal out in the US now totals roughly half a person's daily recommended calories. 

This is not a doctor-recommended strategy for good health. 

Instead, as Harvard cardiologist Sara Seidelmann previously told Business Insider, you should "try to make choices that fill your plate with plants — whole foods and whole grains. Things that you can recognize."

• I've been a diehard Apple user for as long as I can remember, and, up until recently, I exclusively used iPhones since shortly after the first one came out in 2007.
• Last November, I decided to retire my iPhone 6S and, after much deliberation, decided to give the well-reviewed OnePlus 6T and Google's Android operating system a try.
• I wrote about my positive experience switching to Android at the time and received dozens of e-mails from Android users telling me to wait until I realized what having an "open ecosystem" meant.
• While I've found a lot of benefits to the "open ecosystem," by far the biggest revelation for me has been that I can download apps that never would have been approved by Apple. 

Four months ago, I did what I previously thought was unthinkable. I gave up my iPhone. 

I'd been using Apple products since I was eight and had been locked into iOS and the iPhone since a bespectacled Steve Jobs unveiled it in 2007. 

The change came after much public deliberating, a few close calls, and a tip from my colleague on the tech desk, Antonio Villas-Boas, who called the $580 OnePlus 6T "the best smartphone you've never heard of."

I bought the OnePlus and all of the sudden I was an Android user and ... all my friends abandoned me.

Just kidding. I talked them all into downloading WhatsApp, which is admittedly still a subpar substitute for iMessage.

Immediately, there were aspects of Android I liked: The operating system's app launcher (i.e., the home screen) is changeable into any configuration you choose, with the ability to drop in widgets for the weather or multiple time zones, as well as a Google search bar. Double-tapping the power button to open the camera app was a game-changer for me as a street photographer. Notifications felt more customizable and artificial-intelligence-powered — if you keep dismissing a notification, Google picks up on that and will give you the option to stop showing it.

After publishing my article about switching, however, I kept getting e-mails from Android users telling me I hadn't even scratched the surface. I hadn't yet experienced, they said, what having a truly "open" ecosystem means.

An oversimplified definition of what people mean they describe Android as "open" and iOS as "closed" would be that you can do almost whatever you want on an Android device.

Want to install an app not on the Google Play Store? Go for it. Want to change the default address-book, e-mail client, or web browser? You can do that, too. Want to plug your phone into your computer and look through your files like any other hard drive you own? You can do that on Android — but not iOS.

The limitations on iOS go beyond that. Apple does not allow apps in the App Store they consider controversial, which includes video game emulators — likely the reason I won't ever go back to iOS.

While I'm by no means a video game junkie, I do love The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, and other classic game series. I more or less purchased a Nintendo Switch explicitly so I could play the lastest iteration of Zelda, Breath of the Wild. I had hoped that Nintendo would release all the previous installments of the series on the Nintendo Switch, but alas, that has yet to happen.

Then, a few months ago, I discovered that an Android device is actually the perfect retro gaming system. There are over a dozen emulators easily available for Android.

In order to do the same on an iPhone, you have to go through the arduous process of "jailbreaking" your phone (essentially breaking the iPhone out of its closed ecosystem) or "side-loading," an equally annoying process.

For comparison, I was able to download an emulator on my Android phone and play one of my favorite games of all time with a few clicks. I liked it so much, I purchased a tiny Bluetooth controller by 8Bitdo to play it with.

I'm already through four dungeons and plotting what game I'll load up when I finish. 

After using an iPhone for a decade, the act of tweaking my phone to my needs felt revolutionary. And unless my family threatens to disown me over my lack of iMessage, I doubt I'll be coming back anytime soon.

For now, I'm having too much fun crushing retro games on the numerous long plane, train, and bus rides I regularly take.

• Miami could be partially underwater and unlivable within 80 years, science indicates.
• Despite the dire predictions, wealthy home buyers are still snapping up luxury waterfront real estate.
• Miami real-estate agents say their clients aren't concerned with rising sea levels in the undetermined future.
• "They want to enjoy their wealth now with their families in their homes," one real estate broker told Business Insider.

Miami, one of the most-visited cities in the world, is one of many coastal cities that could be partially underwater and unlivable within 80 years, according to scientists.

Miami and Miami Beach already struggle with serious flooding related to sea-level rise, even when there is no rain, as Business Insider's Kevin Loria previously reported. The flat, low-lying areas are surrounded by rising seas, and the ground underneath is mostly porous limestone, which means water will eventually rise through it. 

"Miami as we know it today — there's virtually no scenario under which you can imagine it existing at the end of the century," Jeff Goodell, author of "The Water Will Come: Rising Seas, Sinking Cities, and the Remaking of the Civilized World" told Business Insider in 2018. "It may be some smaller version of Miami that incorporates platform houses and floating structures."

Estimates vary on the exact degree of sea level rise, but the US National Ocean Service suggests global sea levels could rise by nearly 6 feet by 2100. The average elevation of Miami is 6 feet above sea level, according to CityData.com and NASA.

And that's not to mention the storms, which many scientists agree could become more intense with more rainfall as the result of a warming planet. 

Despite the warnings, Miami developers are still rolling out luxury developments right on the water— and wealthy home-buyers are snapping them

But these predictions haven't stopped Miami developers from rolling out luxury developments along the water or wealthy home buyers from snapping up high-end real estate left and right.

More and more high-net-worth individuals and families from high-tax states like New York, New Jersey, California, and Illinois are moving to the Miami area to take advantage of Florida's status as a no-income tax state. And many of them want to be in prime waterfront locations, Dora Puig, a top real estate broker in the area, previously told Business Insider.

Miami real estate agents say today's luxury home buyers aren't considering tomorrow's sea levels

"My clients are not making their home-purchasing decision on what may or may not be 100+ years out," Dina Goldentayer, the executive director of sales at Douglas Elliman in Miami Beach, told Business Insider. "They want to enjoy their wealth now with their families in their homes."

Audrey Ross, the vice president for Compass in South Florida, said her clients never bring up the topic.

"So far, no one has dropped a deal or actually even mentioned this issue to me in my dealings with the luxury home market," she told Business Insider. "I can only remember having it mentioned once to me over the past ten years, as any issue in waterfront property as a concern."

Ross said that in the luxury area where she lives, neighbors building new homes simply make their seawalls higher.

"I think this issue for a lot of the population is too far in the distance for them to be immediately concerned about changing their luxury lifestyle," she said.

Still, some "eco-conscious" buyers are drawn to buildings like Eighty Seven Park, a luxury condominium complex in Miami Beach, because of its elevation, said Goldentayer, who handles sales for the building. 

"This project is located on the most elite position of Miami Beach from a flood elevation point of view — we are the highest," Goldentayer said.

But Business Insider's Aria Bendix reported in February that the building, which includes a $68 million penthouse that could shatter real-estate records, is not safe from the area's rising sea levels. 

"I'm not sure that [Miami] can adequately plan for 6 feet [of sea level rise]," Hauer, a scientist who published a 2016 study in the journal Nature Climate Change examining the risk of sea-level rise in the continental US,told Bendix. "It's water level as high as I am."

For now, it seems, Miami's luxury real estate market will continue to swell along with the sea levels.

NOW WATCH: A master chocolatier reveals the best chocolate for your mind and body

• A group of UK researchers evaluated five of the most popular nutrition apps based on how accurately they estimated calories. 
• Their study found a clear winner and loser, but there are pros and cons to each app. 
• Databases that allow users to input recipes and those that rely on scanned nutrition labels showed some inaccuracies. 

Downloading a nutrition app is easy, but finding one that accurately reports calories is a tougher task. 

For those interested in weight loss or healthy eating, choosing from among the hundreds of thousands of health and fitness apps can seem daunting — particularly when there's little scientific evidence to suggest that certain apps are more trustworthy than others. 

A group of researchers has made the selection process a lot easier. Their new study evaluates the accuracy of five of the most popular nutrition apps: Samsung Health, MyFitnessPal, FatSecret, Noom Coach, and Lose It!.

The study, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR), compared all five nutritional databases against professional standards used by dietitians and nutritionists in the UK. Apps with nutritional data that closely matched the UK standards were deemed the most accurate.  

Read more:8 free fitness apps that can help you get in shape — and what they're best for

For the most part, all five apps provided satisfactory estimates of calories and saturated fat, but a few failed to accurately represent sodium, protein, and micronutrients like calcium and Vitamin C. 

The study found a clear winner and a clear loser, but each app had its pros and cons. Take a look at the findings. 

SEE ALSO: The keto diet fascinated Americans most in 2018. Here are the top 10 diet trends of the year, according to Google.

Lose It! ranks among the top 10 health and fitness apps on iTunes, but the study found it to be the least accurate.

Lose It! is a favorite among calorie counters, but it underestimates all types of nutrients, including protein, sodium, carbs, fat, and fiber, according to the study. 

This is because, in addition to letting users input their own data, the app's barcode-scanning feature seems to lead to some inaccuracies. The researchers argue that nutrition labels aren't always reliable, since they hail from manufacturers who "may have incomplete micronutrient data." 

Noom was the clear winner, since it has the most up-to-date database.

The Noom app doesn't show users their levels of micronutrients (like calcium, iron, and vitamin C) or macronutrients (carbs, protein, and fat), but its overall calorie estimates are pretty spot-on. 

Noom is different from the other apps in its focus on wellness as opposed to traditional dieting. The app provides users with "coaches" who motivate them to meet their nutrition goals. 

"Weight loss is a lot more than just writing things down," said Andreas Michaelides, Noom's chief psychology officer. "It's really about changing your behavior."

Unless someone has a clinical diagnosis and needs to track their micronutrients, he said, it's more important to form healthy, lifelong habits. 

"Most people, without the assistance of a food database, would not be equipped to know the big picture," Michaelides said. "A lot of the calories in food are buried inside their meal."

Michaelides added that no nutrition app should tell people to consume extra calories because they've exercised. Tracking physical activity can help people set goals and learn new behaviors, but it shouldn't be a reason to change healthy eating patterns. 

"People shouldn't be obsessed [with logging]," he said. "At the end of the day, it's really a matter of forming lifelong, sustainable habits."

The three other apps the researchers analyzed all had pluses and minuses. FatSecret underestimated sodium and protein levels.

FatSecret has been called "hands down the best calorie-counter app" by New York Magazine, but the recent study found that it significantly underestimates sodium and protein levels. 

This could have serious consequences for people with high blood pressure who think they're consuming less sodium, the study said.

Similar to the Lose It! app, one issue with FatSecret is that it allows users to input their own food nutrition metrics, or select those that have been added by other users, which can result in inaccuracies.  

• You can easily edit videos saved to your iPhone, trimming the start and end of a video, without installing any additional apps.
• By clicking "Edit" while viewing a video in the Photos app, you can drag the anchors that mark the start and end point of a video.
• Install the iMovie app on your iPhone to get a suite of additional video editing tools including video rotation, background music, and transitions between clips.  

Since your iPhone can shoot high-resolution, high-quality video, it stands to reason that you might want to occasionally edit that video – on the phone, without having to download it to a PC or laptop.

And while your options are a bit limited, you can certainly make some simple edits right from your iPhone.

Specifically, without installing any additional apps, you can trim the start and end of your video. And if you install the free iMovie app on your iPhone, you can make other changes to your video as well.

Edit a video by trimming the start or end of it

1. Open the Photos app.

2. Find the video that you want to edit. If it's not at the end of your camera roll or otherwise easy to locate, you can tap Albums and then tap Videos to see a list of just the videos on the phone.

3. After selecting your desired video, tap Edit.

4. Play the video to move the video cursor away from the start of the timeline that's at the bottom of the screen. This cursor is called a "scrubber bar" in video lingo, and you can also drag it back and forth to speed through the video manually.

5. In the timeline, tap and drag the left-facing arrow (called an anchor) on the left-side of the video clip. As you drag it, the entire outline will turn yellow and you're trimming the start of the video.

6. Tap and drag the anchor on the right side of the clip to trim the end of the video.

7. For more careful editing, you can tap and hold an anchor. After a moment, it will zoom in on the clip so you can set the start or end point with more precision.

8. When you're done editing, tap Done and then tap Save as New Clip.

9. Your new clip will appear at the start of the All Photos folder in your Photos app.

Advanced editing with the iMovie app

Want to do more than just adjust the start and end point of your video? You have a lot more video editing options if you install a free Apple video editor called iMovie. With iMovie installed, for example, you can rotate video (a handy tool for times when you recorded video while holding the camera vertically).

In addition, you can use iMovie to select multiple video clips and still photos and combine them into a single movie. You can choose from among a half-dozen transitions (like dissolves, slides, and wipes) and insert them between these clips, as well.

iMovie also lets you add music, fade to and from black, and apply filters to your completed movies. Of course, it's not Adobe Premiere by a wide margin, but it's great for adding a professional polish to a video right from your iPhone.

It's the second nearly brand new Boeing 737 MAX airliner in recently be involved in a fatal crash. In October, Lion Air Flight JT610 crashed in the Java Sea shortly after taking off from Jakarta, Indonesia, killing all 189 people on board. 

On Sunday, aviation regulators in China, Indonesia, and Ethiopia grounded all of their 737 MAX aircraft. The aircraft's major US operators, Southwest, American, and United have all told Business Insider that they stand by the safety and airworthiness of the jet.

Read more: Here are all the airlines that fly the Boeing 737 MAX. 

However, if you're in the market for a flight and want to know whether you'll be flying on board a Boeing 737 MAX, here's how to find out. 

On Southwest, simply search for the flight on the airline's website. There's is a flight number at each listing. Click on that flight number and a box will pop up with the on-time and aircraft information.

If you're booking on United's website, click on the link labeled "details" and it will show you the aircraft type that is expected to operate the flight. 

It's even easier on American Airlines. The carrier displays the aircraft type at each flight listing. 

If you've already booked your flight, there are also several ways to find out the aircraft type. Most airlines will send you a confirmation email with that information or make it available in their app. 

Should the information not be readily available from the airline, there are third-party sources to which you can turn.  One such source is SeatGuru.com by Tripadvisor. The site will ask you for the airline, flight number, and your date of travel. With that information it will not only give the type aircraft expected to operate the flight, it'll also tell which are the good seats on the plane. 

With that said all of the information on the airline website and SeatGuru are based on the aircraft expected to operate the flight. There is always the possibility that extenuating circumstances, such as a mechanical issue, may necessitate a switch to another aircraft type.

• Vinebox is a wine subscription that will send you nine "glasses" of the best wines in the world every quarter for $72-$79. You won't find anything mass-produced in your boxes.
• You can use the service to discover which wines you really like and learn about the regions, grapes, and winemakers, as well as how to pair certain wines with food.
• Of more than 11,000 wines tested, only 1% make the cut for inclusion in Vinebox. 
• It can be a good way to get access to high-end wines you would otherwise never be able to afford. You can even apply a credit to full-sized bottles of the ones you really liked. 

Finding out which wines you like can feel more like an accident than any sort of comprehensive, efficient effort. My own history more honestly resembles stumbling around in the dark — and asking my local wine shop experts for blind personal recommendations.

It's exactly this obscurity that makes intelligent wine subscription services like Vinebox so uniquely appealing. Vinebox, if you haven't heard of it, is a service that sends subscribers nine of the best wines in the world to taste — by the glass — once every three months for $72-$79 (meaning each glass is $8-$9). 

While you might be used to this concept when it comes to bottles, it makes sense why Vinebox would send by the glass; the high-end wine selection would cost the average person a small fortune (and probably some plane rides), and trying only by the glass is a really low-risk commitment that encourages you to expand your palette. You're able to try a variety of really diverse, premium wines for a fraction of the cost required for full bottles, and you won't be stuck with a wine you hate if you take a chance sampling something more adventurous. If you love one, you can buy your own bottle.

How it works

1. Take the quiz: Tell Vineboxabout yourself and your wine preferences. They'll take your tastes into account, though they may include some curveballs to expand your palette. 

2.Taste the wines: Vineboxwill send you nine vials of wine every quarter, which each hold a full glass worth. You'll get to suss out your favorite kinds and learn more about the regions in and processes by which they're made. 

3. Discover favorites: If you love one taster more than most, you can buy a full-sized bottle, or Vineboxwill make suggestions for a similar wine. Members also receive full-sized bottle credits so you can save while finding and stocking up on your favorite wines. 

What the wines are like

Of more than 11,000 fine wines tested, only about 1% make the cut. They're not the same as your local wine store options (even the really nice ones) — you won't find anything mass-produced here. 

Quarterly releases are said to be the best wine of the moment — from old vintage cellar releases hitting their "sweet spot" to those that mesh perfectly with current wine trends (which you are now, by virtue of this subscription, apparently on top of). They're curated by the company's wine director and sommelier for delivery every three months. 

Boxes include tasting notes, recommendations, and pairings, so you can get the most out of the luxury wines sent to you and learn how to pair future wines.

The company uses a closed-nitrogen environment to prevent the wines from ever coming in contact with oxygen. The use of inert gas allows the wines to "maintain their complete bouquet, flavor profile, and mouthfeel" throughout the process. Once they're encapsulated, the wines are good for up to three years.

Price

If you go with an annual subscription, the quarterly shipments are $72 and you get a $30 credit for full-sized bottles. If you choose a quarterly subscription, each box is $79 and you'll get a $15 credit for full-sized bottles. A one-time shipment is $87 and will get you the company's current pre-curated box. Delivery is always free, and you can cancel at any time. You can sign up for yourself here.

If you'd like to share with another person or partner, you can adjust the quantity to suit two people (an annual subscription would be $64.80 per person, or $129.60 per shipment). They'll double your shipment, and you'll save 10%.

Vinebox's current box (March 2019)

Currently, Vinebox has curated a shipment around organic wines across Europe. You'll find vials of wine from the only organic winery in Pessac-Léognan to a biodynamic wine by way of Sicily. They're sustainably farmed with ox-driven plows, onsite composts, and no harmful pesticides, and they don't have additives like industrial sulfites, flavoring agents, GMOs, or coloring doses. 

The company also highlights a "wine to watch": The Capmartin Madiran Rouge. The winemaker, Simon, was recently on the cover of France's Le Point Magazine, and has been around since 1985. The property took three years to transition to completely biodynamic practices, and today they farm 100% organically, plant certain crops to deter pests, and grow Tannat — a grape that contains the highest amount of anthocyanins — a compound with antioxidant effects.

• The key to building wealth is living in a home you can easily afford, according to a researcher who studied more than 600 millionaires.
• She found that most of the millionaires she studied lived in houses that cost below their means, allowing them to save and accumulate more wealth.
• Several well-known millionaires and billionaires, like Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg, live in affordable homes that cost little compared with their overall wealth.

The key to building wealth? Living in a home you can easily afford.

That's according to Sarah Stanley Fallaw, the director of research for the Affluent Market Institute. She's an author of "The Next Millionaire Next Door: Enduring Strategies for Building Wealth," in which she surveyed more than 600 millionaires in America.

She found that no factor plays as big a role in accumulating money as where you choose to live. Most of the millionaires she studied had never purchased a home that cost more than triple their annual income. Even some high-profile, ultra-rich people — from Mark Zuckerberg to Serena Williams— have purchased homes well below their means.

To compile the list below, we compared each person's net worth with the cost of their homes. We didn't have the data to determine their net worth at the time of purchase, so we adjusted the house purchase price for inflation using an inflation calculator to compare that with their net worth today.

For example, the billionaire investor Warren Buffett bought his home in 1958 for $31,500. Adjusted for inflation, that's equivalent to $274,357 in today's dollars, or just 0.0003% of his $82.1 billion net worth.

Everyone on this list owns a home less than 5% of their net worth.

• Royal Caribbean Cruises has been ordered to pay $3.38 million to the family of a passenger who died on one of the company's ships, the Miami Herald reported.
• The passenger, Richard Puchalski, reportedly died of a heart attack on Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas ship in 2016.
• A federal jury in Miami reportedly ruled on Thursday that Royal Caribbean and Puchalski's doctor were negligent after Puchalski reported shortness of breath to the ship's medical staff.
• Royal Caribbean did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment, but a company representative told the Miami Herald that the company disagrees with the ruling and plans to appeal it.

Royal Caribbean Cruises has been ordered to pay $3.38 million to the family of a passenger who died on one of the company's ships, the Miami Herald reported.

The passenger, Richard Puchalski, died of a heart attack on Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas ship in 2016, according to the Miami Herald report. The lawsuit filed against the company in federal court reportedly said Puchalski had gone to the ship's medical staff and reported shortness of breath.

A ship doctor diagnosed Puchalski with a septal infarction, a piece of tissue between the heart's left and right ventricles that has died or is decaying, and gave him medicine before releasing him from the ship's infirmary, according to the report.

The lawsuit said the doctor should have alerted Puchalski's family about his condition, conducted additional tests, or taken him to an on-shore hospital, the Miami Herald reported.  

Puchalski reportedly collapsed about 30 minutes after leaving the infirmary and died four days later. The suit alleged that a long interval passed between Puchalski's collapse and his arrival at an on-shore hospital, according to the report.

A jury in Miami reportedly ruled on Thursday that Royal Caribbean and Puchalski's doctor were negligent and awarded Puchalski's family $3.38 million.

Royal Caribbean did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment, but a company representative told the Miami Herald that the company disagrees with the ruling and plans to appeal it.

• The fight for women's pay equality has raged among activists, celebrities, and lawmakers for nearly half a century.
• Despite landmark American laws, women working in the US still face major obstacles, including a gender-based pay gap that costs them thousands of dollars every year.

The US passed the Equal Pay Act more than 50 years ago, but American women still face a substantial gender-based wage gap.

Despite landmark legislation and radical demonstrations made to push for pay parity between the sexes, the Institute for Women's Policy Research estimates equality might still be out of reach until 2059.

A woman working full-time in 2019 on average earns 80.7 cents for every dollar a man working full-time earns, which shrinks women's annual earnings, the median of which is $9,909 less than men's, according to data from the US Census Bureau.

Here are some women in politics, entertainment, and social justice who have contributed to the decades of pay parity's progress so far — many of whom you probably didn't learn about in school, and some who might surprise you:

Lawyer and activist Florynce "Flo" Kennedy

Lawyer and political activist Florynce "Flo" Kennedy's wide-ranging career fought sexist and racist policies in and out of the workplace.

Kennedy attended Columbia Law School after an initial rejection because she was a woman. After Kennedy threatened a discrimination suit, the school admitted her and she became one of its first black female graduates in 1951.

After opening her own office, one of Kennedy's first cases was on behalf of jazz legend Billie Holiday, who was seeking money her record company owed her. Kennedy quickly grew tired of law, writing the practice had "taught me more than I was really ready for about government and business delinquency and the hostility and helplessness of the courts."

Turning to activism, Kennedy took on Ti-Grace Atkinson, a white feminist who led the New York Chapter of NOW in the late 1960s, as a mentee. Together, they took aim at want ads in The New York Times that were segregated by sex, thus blocking women from jobs that consistently paid more.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission acknowledged NOW's contention in 1968 that separate want ads for men and women violated the Civil Rights Act's Title VII, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex.

The victory was a strong initial development for empowering women who were trying to enter the workforce and a shot of energy to feminist movements in the 1960s.

Presidential adviser Esther Peterson

As the head of the Women’s Bureau under President John F. Kennedy's administration, Esther Peterson pushed the president toward securing formal progress for women through initiatives like the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women.

Peterson spent years gathering data and organizing interested members in a campaign that would lead to the passing of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which set the stage for other anti-discriminatory laws.

Southern Bell employee Lorena Weeks

In 1966, Lorena Weeks was working as a night telephone operator at the Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company and juggling raising three young children. When the company posted an opening for a higher paying job, Weeks was eager to apply.

But Southern Bell denied her the position because she was a woman and hired a man with less seniority. So Weeks teamed up with NOW to sue the company. The case was the first victory under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Not only did Weeks make history by setting a precedent that helped ensure women weren't denied jobs on the basis of their sex, she got the job and $31,000 in back pay.

• Traveling with kids isn't easy — especially when you're lugging around a lot of heavy suitcases and bags.
• Having the right luggage can make it much easier to travel with kids, so we've rounded up the best carry-on bags for family travel.
• We like the Genius Pack G4 Carry On Spinner for its great interior organization, carry-on friendly size, and easy-to-maneuver spinner wheels.

Traveling with children is not for the faint of heart — especially if flying is part of your itinerary. You have no choice but to think of every single thing your kids might possibly require, then pack it where you can actually find it.

You also need space for snacks, entertainment devices, and materials to change your child's bottom mid-air. And of course, you'll need several extra outfits on hand and within reach during the trip — you know, just in case your kid vomits unexpectedly or spills chocolate milk at the worst possible time.

While family travel can seem overwhelming, experienced parents know that the success of a trip depends on how well you prepare. If you plan for every possible scenario under the sun and pack accordingly, chances are you'll be okay. If you rush to the airport without so much as an extra pack of baby wipes or a tablet loaded with "Caillou," on the other hand, your hatred for yourself will only be surpassed by that of your seatmates.

Making your journey even more perilous is the fact you need all your supplies and tools well within reach. After all, all the baby gear in the world won't help you if you pack it in your checked bag and send it under the plane.

The best thing you can do as a parent traveling with kids is start your trip with the right carry-on bag.

Here is the best carry-on luggage for family travel:

• Best carry-on luggage for organization: Genius Pack G4 Carry On Spinner
• Best carry-on luggage for saving space: Biaggi ZipSak Boost
• Best carry-on luggage for families with infants: Timbuk2 Quest Rolling Duffel
• Best carry-on luggage for little legs: JetKids by Stokke RideBox
• Best carry-on luggage for short trips: TLS Mother Lode Rolling Weekender from eBags

Read on in the slides below to check out our top picks.

The best carry-on luggage for organization

Why you'll love it: The Genius Park G4 Carry On Spinner has numerous compartments for everything you'll need, including a dirty luggage compartment accessible from the outside and a hidden umbrella compartment.

If you're looking for a carry-on that has a compartment for everything, look no further than the Genius Pack G4 Carry On Spinner.

This sleek, light-weight carry-on bag runs $238 on sale with free shipping, yet it will take the guesswork out of figuring out what goes where. Extra compartments you can use to stay organized include a hidden interior lining pocket perfect for shoes, a removable laundry compartment, and separate spaces for chargers, socks, underwear, and more.

The Genius Pack G4 Carry On Spinner also features a handy packing list that can help remind hurried parents of essentials to bring along.

A retractable jacket strap secures your outerwear in the airport, while frame-injected wheels make the ride as smooth as butter. Obviously, this bag is also expandable! If you wind up needing extra room on the ride home, a simple pull of a zipper will garner a 20% increase in space.

Pros: A separate compartment for everything

Cons: Fewer exterior compartments than some bags on this list

Buy the Genius Pack G4 Carry On Spinner on Amazon for $238

The best carry-on luggage for saving space

Why you'll love it: One of the biggest struggles is where to store bulky luggage at home, but that's not a problem with the Biaggi ZipSak Boost, which folds down to the size of a shoebox.

Most families lack closet space anyway, but storing luggage only compounds that problem. Fortunately, the Biaggi ZipSak Boost folds down so small that it can easily fit under your bed or inside a drawer.

The Biaggi ZipSak Boost also features a flexible outer shell that makes packing in lots of stuff a breeze. Its exterior pockets are perfect for storing baby wipes, tablets, or snacks, and you can haul this bag in more than one way — either wheel it along like a regular carry on or use the side handle to carry it like a briefcase.

The Biaggi ZipSak Boost has another trick many families love — especially those who pick up souvenirs on their trips. This bag has a hidden zipper that lets it expand another six inches to become a checked bag for the ride home.

The best part is, Biaggi bags are extremely affordable. Thanks to frequent sales, you can usually get the Biaggi ZipSak Boost for less than $75.

Pros: Folds up neatly when not in use, so much space

Cons: This bag can be top-heavy and hard to haul when it's extended to a checked bag

Buy the Biaggi ZipSak Boost on Amazon for $99.98

The best carry-on luggage for families with infants

Why you'll love it: The Timbuk2 Quest Rolling Duffel has multiple exterior compartments perfect for diapers and wipes, bottles and formula, and extra onesies and sleepers.

Families with babies or small children in diapers tend to need more gear within arm's reach. The Timbuk2 Quest Rolling Duffel is practically perfect for families with very small children.

Not only does it roll like a spinner, but you can throw it on your back like a backpack if you need to free your hands. Extra exterior storage compartments are ideal for everything you'll need for your baby in the air, and this bag is still appropriately sized as a carry on.

The interior of this bag is also ideal for families with lots of stuff. An internal mesh wall pocket is perfect for storing travel documents and other small items.

The exterior of the bag is also made of water-resistant material that is easy to clean. In short, puking babies are no match for this bag.

Pros: Multiple exterior compartments and easy to clean, can be carried on your back in a pinch

Cons: Starting at around $175, this bag is pricey for a duffel

Buy the Timbuk2 Quest Duffel on Amazon for $159.20 to $239.00

• Some cancers are determined by genetics and can't be avoided. But nearly half of all cancer diagnoses are linked to preventable lifestyle factors.
• Scientists are still figuring out how cancer works, but compelling evidence suggests that eating certain foods can reduce your risk of getting cancer.
• From carotenoid-rich greens like spinach and kale to fibrous foods like lentils, here's a list of items to incorporate into your diet.

Scientists haven't yet found a cure for cancer. But what they have discovered after decades of research is that there are certain behaviors, foods, and lifestyle choices we can make that either increase or decrease our odds of developing cancer.

Nearly half of all cancer diagnoses are preventable, and can be avoided if we make sure not to smoke, get enough exercise, maintain a healthy weight, and eat right.

Here are 39 of the top foods that science suggests can help you boost your chances of staying cancer-free.

Fiber is a miracle worker in the body, but not for the reason you might think.

People often joke about fiber's magical ability to keep things (ahem) moving, but ingestable roughage does much more than relieve constipation. 

A February 2019 study of more than 125,000 Americans reinforced what health experts have been saying for years: Fiber helps the body stay cancer-free. After more than 24 years of study, these researchers found that people who consistently ate a fiber-rich diet were less likely to develop liver cancer.

Fiber eaters are also less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes and obesity, most likely because fiber keeps our gut microbiome healthy. 

Some overlooked fiber-rich foods include raspberries, peas, barley, lentils, and chia seeds.

In general, whole grains, nuts, and beans all have a decent dose of fiber. 

If you want to get dietary fiber from bread or pasta, make sure to choose whole grains, not the refined or processed stuff.

Studies suggest that people who eat more whole foods, including whole grains, are more likely to live longer, cancer-free lives than people who rely on processed foods for sustenance.

Look for breads and pastas that are labeled "100% whole wheat" or "100% whole grain." Remember, wheat flour is only about 25% whole wheat. You can also try incorporating more barley, quinoa, Ethiopian teff, or wild rice into your meals.
