Shoes can be extremely wasteful to produce — this sneaker startup is helping to change industry standards by using 100% recycled materials

0

Nothing New Sneakers

  • Nothing New is a sustainable sneaker brand that, as its name suggests, doesn't use any "new" resources to create its shoes.
  • The sneakers are made entirely from recycled materials. Each pair uses 5.6 plastic bottles and saves 160 gallons of water compared to traditional cotton canvas sneakers.
  • Nothing New sneakers cost $95 for low tops and $110 for high tops, but once you buy your first pair, the company will give you $20 off your next purchase when you send in your worn Nothing New sneakers.
  • Keep reading to learn more about just how wasteful normal sneakers can be and how Nothing New is helping change industry standards for sustainability.

There are currently 170 million metric tons of plastic in the ocean today. By 2050, there may be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Of course, it doesn't take an expert conservationist or marine biologist to know those are not good statistics — especially when it's easy to see that you, or at the very least, your children, will be around to witness such a catastrophe first-hand.

While it's going to take a mass and coordinated effort worldwide to slow down or (hopefully) reverse the negative effects of plastic pollution and climate change, it's imperative that we hold industries that contribute it at a greater rate responsible to set the pace and standard for sustainability — and right now, all eyes are on the footwear industry.

Shoes, most specifically sneakers, are by far some of the most wasteful products to make. Massive amounts of virgin plastic, rubber, petroleum, and cardboard go into producing, packaging, and shipping them to consumers. And once they've been beaten to the point of being unwearable, they're thrown in the garbage to live in a landfill forever more.

But a recently founded startup called Nothing New is doing its part to positively impact the planet and educate those that shop on it.

Nothing New Sneakers

Founded by Nolan Walsh, the brains behind Thursday Boot Company, Nothing New is a sneaker brand making casual footwear that's affordable and sustainably made, but doesn't look it. 

Coming in low-top ($95) and high-top ($110) styles, Nothing New sneakers feature a 100% post-consumer recycled plastic upper, and all its other components are made from some combination of recycled cotton, fishing nets, rubber, and cork.

Each pair is made from roughly 5.6 plastic bottles and saves 160 gallons of water compared to traditional cotton canvas sneakers. Even the box is made from 100% recycled paper. Without sacrificing the overall quality of the product, every consideration to reduce the brand's carbon footprint has been made.

All styles come in sizes for men and women, and there are several colors to choose from.

Nothing New Sneakers

First impressions

When I first learned about Nothing New I was thrilled to see a footwear brand fully dedicated to sustainability. There are a handful of other sneaker brands that are becoming more environmentally conscious, but this was my first time coming across a company whose entire ethos was based on sustainability. That, in combination with the shoes coming from the makers of Thursday, one of our favorite places to buy boots, made me really excited for the launch. 

Also, I couldn't help but notice that the overall design of the sneakers was strikingly similar to the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars, which isn't a bad thing. The old-school-style basketball silhouette is a classic design whether they're from Converse or not, so literally anyone can pull them off.

Nothing New sneakers

What they're like to wear

My biggest initial concern was the sizing. Since they're similar in style to Converse, I thought that the sizing would be similar as well (Converse usually run a full size big). Nothing New recommended that I order my true size and that turned out to be spot on. I got to test the blue high-tops and the red low-tops and they're both equally cool — choosing between high-top and low-top really boils down to what style you like more.

The sneakers are by no stretch intended for performance, but they are well suited for casual everyday wear. They feature Ortholite Eco-Step insoles, so there's a good amount of cushioning for comfort.

Although the concept of recycled sneakers (or really any apparel product) might give some consumers the impression of a B-grade or second-hand product, that's not the case at all. Despite the entire shoe being made from recycled materials, everything feels good in-hand and on-feet. If the sneakers weren't labeled with tags that read, "handcrafted using the highest quality sustainable materials" and "this product was made from recycled plastic bottles," you'd think they were standard canvas sneakers.

Nothing New sneakers

Bottom line

If you're looking at Nothing New sneakers strictly for their overall style — not their sustainability — then the $95-$110 price range might seem high, but I think they're worth it. Compared to other sustainable shoe brands like Allbirds, that's a pretty average price to pay for sneakers — and you'll only have to pay that price once.

The brand will give you $20 off your next purchase when you send back your used Nothing New sneakers. From there, the brand will either refurbish your shoes to be donated to charity or disassemble them and recycle the materials back into its supply chain.

The very bottom line, though, is that we all have to do more than throw plastic bottles in recycling bins and turn the faucet off while we brush our teeth if we want a cleaner, greener planet to live on. If you already are or want to start making better choices about where you shop and what you buy, I strongly recommend Nothing New for your next pair of sneakers.

Trump's tariffs could raise prices on almost everything we buy. Here's where the biggest hikes could hit.

  • President Donald Trump announced new tariffs Thursday on Chinese imports that could trigger price increases on goods including shoes, toys, phones, and car seats.
  • Here's a list of China-sourced products where shoppers could see the biggest price increases, according to The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), a retail trade group.
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Shoppers may soon see higher prices on goods like shoes, toys, phones, and car seats as a result of President Trump's new tariffs on Chinese imports. 

Trump said Thursday that he plans to impose 10% tariffs on $300 billion in Chinese imports — including footwear, apparel, electronics, and other consumer goods — on September 1.

Many retailers, including Walmart, have warned that higher tariffs on these items would force them to raise prices for consumers.

"This new 10% tariff is a direct hit on consumer products and family budgets... American families shouldn't be a pawn in this trade war," said Hun Quach, vice president of international trade for the Retail Industry Leaders Association, a trade group that counts Walmart, Target and Home Depot among its members.

Shoppers can expect the biggest price increases on items that have a high share of sourcing from China, according to the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), a retail trade group.

Here's the list of products where shoppers are most likely to see price increases, based on their high share of sourcing from China, according to RILA.

How to delete a Snapchat story on your iPhone or Android, before it automatically deletes after 24 hours

0
0

snapchat story phone

  • Snapchat stories automatically delete after 24 hours, but you can also delete a Snapchat story at any time before it disappears. 
  • Keep in mind, however, that you can't delete your entire story with one single button tap — you'll have to go through each Snap individually and decide which to nix and which to keep.
  • Here's everything you need to know to delete a Snap from your story on an iPhone or Android
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Snapchat is the social media app that's not really built to last. Or at least, the posts and exchanges made on it aren't meant to be long-term. It's an app that's more about being in the moment.

Even so, sometimes that short 24-hour window that your Snapchat story is meant to last is just too long to keep it up — that's when it's time to delete your Snapchat story.

It's worth noting, however, that there is no master delete button for your entire story. You'll have to go Snap-by-Snap to decide which ones to delete and which, if any, to keep. 

Here's what you need to know to get it done on your iPhone or Android

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

iPhone Xs (From $999.99 at Best Buy)

Google Pixel 3 (From $699.99 at Best Buy)

How to delete a Snapchat story

1. Open the Snapchat app and log into your account, if necessary.

2. Tap your profile icon in the top-left corner of the screen.

3. Tap "My Story" to view your Snapchat story.

Having a Delta credit card gets you a free checked bag every time you fly the airline — here's how to use the perk

0
0

52684534_2419660888053079_7685507066072399872_o

  • If you have a Delta credit card, you and as many as eight travel companions will get free checked bags. All you have to do is book your flight and include your Delta frequent flyer number on the reservation.
  • The Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express offers 30,000 Delta SkyMiles when you spend $1,000 in the first three months. You can also receive 50% on purchases made directly with Delta in the first three months, up to $300.
  • When you open the Platinum Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express and spend $3,000 in the first three months, you'll get 50,000 SkyMiles. You can also receive 50% on purchases made directly with Delta in the first three months, up to $500.
  • The Gold and Platinum Delta Amex offers are only available until August 15, 2019.
  • The premium card, the Delta Reserve® Credit Card from American Express, is offering 40,000 miles and 10,000 Medallion Qualification Miles, after you spend $3,000 in three months.

One of the perks that comes with Delta's three main credit cards — the Gold Delta SkyMiles, Platinum Delta SkyMiles, and Delta Reserve cards — is a free checked bag for the cardholder and up to eight travel companions on the same reservation.

For travelers who tend to check bags, the savings can add up quickly. Delta charges $30 each way for a checked bag on a domestic flight. For a family of four taking a long vacation, just having the credit card can help save $240 — $30 each bag, each way would mean a total of $240 for the whole family. 

Using the benefit is easy

When you apply for the Delta Amex card, you're prompted to enter your Delta SkyMiles number. From that point on, as long as the card is open, the benefits are tied to your SkyMiles account.

Just make sure that you're logged in to your Delta account when booking tickets — or, if you're booking through a third-party portal like Expedia, just enter your Delta number during the booking process. If you go to add a bag when checking in for your flight, you'll see a cost of $0.00. The same will apply for anyone else on the same reservation with you.

The key is making sure that you're on the same reservation. If you book separately, your travel companions won't have access to free checked bags unless they have their own Delta credit card (or hold elite Medallion status). 

Learn more: 10 lucrative credit card sign-up offers available this month

If you're thinking about getting a Delta credit card, now is the perfect time. Two of the cards are offering limited-time welcome bonuses that can get you cash back on Delta flights as well as bonus miles.

The Gold Delta SkyMiles card offers 30,000 Delta SkyMiles when you spend $1,000 in the first three months, and you can receive 50% back on purchases made directly with Delta — up to $300 back — in the first three months. 

The Platinum version is offering 50,000 SkyMiles when you spend $3,000 in the first three months, and you can receive 50% on purchases made directly with Delta — up to $500 back — in the first three months.

Delta's premium card, the Delta Reserve, offers 40,000 miles and 10,000 Medallion Qualification Miles after you spend $3,000 in three months.

From Volkswagens to Paganis to the humble Honda Accord, here are the cars that 10 of the world's wealthiest people have owned

0

  • Billionaires like Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Alphabet CEO Larry Page can afford to drive any car they want.
  • While some of them have splurged on Teslas and Paganis, other high-end rides, others have chosen to stick to Ford pickup trucks and Honda Accords.

If you had all the money in the world, what type of car would you buy? Would it be a $3 million Rolls-Royce, a $574,000 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, or a more subtle Honda Accord? While some multibillionaires have chosen to spend some of their wealth on expensive cars, others have taken a more modest route.

From million-dollar handbuilt cars to common roadsters, these are the cars nine of some of the wealthiest people in the world drive.

Jeff Bezos

Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos owns a 12% stake in Amazon worth about $114.8 billion following his divorce from his ex-wife, MacKenzie. But despite his wealth, a younger Bezos in 1999 still drove a 1996 Honda Accord, two years after the retailer went public.

When asked about his vehicle of choice in a 1999 episode of "60 Minutes," Bezos said, "This is a perfectly good car."

The MSRP in 1996 was $17,890.

Dustin Moskovitz

Facebook and Asana cofounder Dustin Moskovitz has a net worth of $13.4 billion, according to Forbes. Despite his 3% stake in Facebook, Moskovitz stayed frugal. A 2011 profile of Moskovitz in The Seattle Times noted that he drove a Volkswagen R32 at the time.

The MSRP for the R32 in 2008 was $32,000.

Jack Ma

Jack Ma is the cofounder of the e-commerce and tech conglomerate, The Alibaba Group. The China-based group's 2014 IPO was the world's biggest public stock offering at the time, raising $25 billion.

With a net worth of $37.3 billion, Jack Ma is the second-richest man in China. However, he hs been seen in a Roewe RX5 SUV as recently as October 2018. The RX5's infotainment system is powered by Alibaba's YunOS operating system.

Larry Page

CEO of Alphabet and cofounder of Google Larry Page earned his spot as the 8th richest person in the world. Although he has an annual salary of just one dollar, his net worth is about $53.5 billion as of October 2018.

Larry Page drives a Toyota Prius, according to Reuters. 2019 base price: $23,770

Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett, the "Oracle of Omaha" is well-known for his frugal ways. The billionaire CEO of Berkshire Hathaway has pledged to donate 99% of his net worth of $84.2 billion in his lifetime.

Buffet drives a 2014 Cadillac XTS. The MSRP for a new one was $23,500. Before his 2014 Caddy, he owned a 2006 Cadillac DTS.

Elon Musk

The intrepid billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX is known to drive and ride in his own company's cars. Musk famously swapped places with the first person to place an order on the Model 3, and launched his own first-generation Tesla Roadster into space.

Steve Ballmer

Steve Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft and current owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, has a net worth of $50.9 billion. 

Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally personally delivered Ballmer's Ford Fusion Hybrid in 2009. Ballmer is a loyal Ford customer because his father was a longtime Ford employee in Detroit. The MSRP of the Fusion Hybrid was $19,500.

Alice Walton

Alice Walton is one of the heirs to the Walmart fortune and is the second-wealthiest woman in the world. Instead of working for Walmart like her two brothers, Walton decided to curate art, and reportedly has an art collection worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Walton spent part of her $51.6 billion net worth on her 2006 Ford F-150 King Ranch pickup truck, according to a 2008 Forbes article. The MSRP for the truck that year was $40,930.

Source: Forbes, CNBC



Bill Gates

Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, has a net worth of $103.8 billion, allowing him to own several cars such as the 1988 Porsche 959. He supported the passage of the "Show and Display" law that allowed him to take possession of the 959 after it was imported to the United States.

The 959 debuted in 1988 at $300,000 and was once the fastest car in the world.

Mark Zuckerberg

The Facebook founder reportedly purchased a Pagani Huayra in 2014, although he has also owned an Acura TSX, Honda Fit, and Volkswagen Golf GTI.

The MSRP for the 2014 Pagani was $1,400,000. Not a huge outlay for a man worth $74.4 billion.

The 50 best suburbs in America, ranked

Houston Home

The rising cost of living in big cities is pushing families to the suburbs.

Millennials, in particular, are on the hunt for suburbs that offer affordable homes, good jobs, and good weather. As a result, the suburbs are increasing in popularity at a rate that's more than twice as fast as their neighboring cities, according to The Wall Street Journal

In fact, as of 2016, around 175 million Americans lived in the country's suburbs. Factors that make a suburb stand out can vary depending on a person's interests. Perks like affordable homes, good public schools, and low crime rates can make a location desirable. But with so many options and factors to weigh, it can be challenging to filter out the right suburb for you.

Niche, an American-based research company, compiled a list of the best US suburbs to live in for 2019 and ranked them according to metrics that include cost of living, school quality, crime rates, home prices, employment, and amenity access. Each factor was weighted based on available market research as well as overall relevance to the goal of the study. The influence of each factor was consistent across each suburb's ranked score.

Statistics on Niche's list are primarily from the US Census and represent the most recent data. The list measures the overall quality of living in suburban America. Some crime and safety rates were not provided.

I drove a $136,000 Porsche Cayenne Turbo to see if it's still the best SUV human money can buy on planet Earth

Porsche Cayenne Turbo

  • The Porsche Cayenne has been the undisputed king of high-performance SUVs since 2002.
  • Nobody thought Porsche could pull off an SUV that was also a Porsche. They were so, so wrong. And the Cayenne remains brilliant. It's also filled Porsche's coffers with money.
  • The Cayenne Turbo is easily the most impressive vehicle I've driven so far in 2019.
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

They laughed back in the early aughts when Porsche said it was going to make an SUV.

Then the Cayenne arrived in 2002, and the laughs stopped. Everybody knew Porsche made a great sports car in the 911. Nothing could have prepared us for the level of performance the automaker could bring to an SUV.

The Cayenne was transcendentally brilliant out of the box, and in the ensuing decade and a half, it's been updated twice, most recently for the 2019 model year. The new Cayenne comes in four flavors — base, hybrid, S, and Turbo — and has dropped about 300 pounds.

Porsche flipped us the keys to a Cayenne Turbo and we drove it around the New Jersey suburbs for a week. We knew it would be good. But were we prepared for how good?

The 2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo hit the road near our suburban New Jersey test center wearing a "Biscay Blue Metallic" paint job. The Cayenne started at $125,000, but a batch of performance options added just over $10,000 to the already impressive sticker price.



When the Cayenne first arrived, a big question was whether the traditional bug-eye Porsche design cues would translate to an SUV. They didn't, really, and they haven't — but now it doesn't matter because we've gotten used to it.



Porsche has added character lines and a higher overall level of surface flash to the Cayenne, now in its third-generation. The latest Cayenne is about as sleek as its possible to make the vehicle without sloping the roof so much that the second row becomes uninhabitable.



As with its stablemate, the Panamera, the Cayenne's rear end has always been ... problematic. Or hideously bulbous, depending on your point of view.



To be honest, there's no way to design an SUV that mitigates the need to have a giant liftgate or cargo hold dominating the rear third of the vehicle.



The best thing I can say about this part of the 2018 Cayenne Turbo is that the slashing, wraparound tail light configuration and quad pipes jazz up what's the SUV's worst angle.



The integrated roofline spoiler does what it can. (This spoiler, by the way, is dynamic, adjusting to the Cayenne's speed.)



I dunno, I still hate looking at the rear end of this thing.



When the gaping maw opens, you have about 27 cubic feet of cargo space to work with and roughly double that when the second row of seats is folded down. That's really quite good.



Oof! Our Cayenne Turbo tester had 21-inch wheels and some seriously beefy brake calipers to aid in controlling its nearly 5,000 lbs. of bulk.



Time to visit the all-black leather interior. It's lovely, but also purposeful, in the way Porsche interiors often are.



The Cayenne is a good-sized SUV, so rear legroom is pretty capacious.



And a dual-pane moonroof floods the cabin with abundant natural light.



It's always a bit weird to climb into a Cayenne and find a steering wheel that wouldn't be out of place on a 911, right down to the drive-mode selector. The tachometer, of course, is front and center in the instrument cluster, and if you cast your eye to the right, you see the familiar Porsche dashboard clock.



Sport and Sport Plus are quite fun, and punching the center button supplies a 20-second burst of oomph from the engine. The Cayenne Turbo's 0-60 time is around 4 seconds (a few tenths quicker, according to Porsche), and the top speed is 177 mph.



That boost is tracked via a dial in the instrument cluster.



Porsche's PCM infotainment system runs on a 12.3-inch touchscreen.



The usual features are present, from easy Bluetooth-paring to USB connectivity. But the system is also where the driver can configure the Cayenne's drive modes.



You can also use the system to adjust the Cayenne's ride height.



Now for the main event: a visit to the powerplant!



The 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 makes 541 horsepower with 568 pound-feet of torque. This Porsche can tow nearly 8,000 pounds, which is staggering. Fuel economy isn't: 15 mpg city/19 highway/17 combined, and that's on premium gas.



The eight-speed automatic pipes the power to the Cayenne Turbo's all-wheel-drive system. There isn't a whiff of turbo lag with this machine, and the transmission can switch to manual if you want to shift gears yourself.



The key fob, naturally, is Porsche-shaped.



So is the Porsche Cayenne still the finest SUV ever made by human hands on planet Earth?

Oh good golly yes!

I had been driving the 2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo for all of five minutes when I was already making appreciative noises and trying to hold back the whoops in the interest of critical objectivity.

The Cayenne was mind-blowing at 25 mph. It all came rushing back. They laughed at the idea of a Porsche SUV. Then they quit laughing. But still there are openings for jeers. After all, isn't this just a rebadged Volkswagen?

HAHAHAHA! Silence, ye doubters. No, the Cayenne isn't a 911. But is it a Porsche? Sure. Beyond that, however, is so much more. It remains the greatest SUV on the road, and in my view, the greatest SUV ever built by the species. Perhaps on some undiscovered exoplanet light years from our Big Blue Marble they could sell you a better SUV, but have to pay for it with space money or trade something of value, such as your spare flux capacitor or a 1958 Gibson Les Paul.

True, the Land Rover Defender is impressive. But the Cayenne does its thing in Porsche fashion on the road while also offering staggering offroad capability — rock-crawling, yes, sort of, but really the kind of high-speed rallying that you would logically subject this machine to.

The Cayenne is simply good, good, and more good, and the top-level Turbo trim is especially delightful, capable of orchestrating a brutal symphony of horsepower from that magnificent 541-horsepower, twin-turbo V8. But that's just one dimension of performance bliss.

You also have the bracing handling, delivered through an intricate orchestration of mega-tech features, ranging from a rooftop spoiler than can adapt to increased speed to rear-axle steering and electro-hydraulic roll stabilization.

It's my policy to avoid getting too deep in this gearheady stuff (my driving is 90% emotion and 10% engineering). But with the Cayenne Turbo, it definitely adds up to an SUV that drives, as it always has, like a Porsche — but with the vehicle's upgrades, now more like a Porsche than ever.

As with most modern luxury cars, the Cayenne has a suite of driver-assist features, including adaptive cruise control and a nice, low-speed, stop-and-go system. These work well, as advertised, but c'mon — this is a Porsche! The urge to take control and do the driving yourself is ever-present. And that's ultimately what separates the Cayenne from some (not all) of the competition.

I could go on, but you get the idea. The Cayenne has been absolutely, shockingly brilliant since it first arrived in the early 2000s. A decade and half later, same story. The vehicle's magnificence simply increases with time. Our Business Insider road-test crew was basically speechless after a week with the Cayenne Turbo. True, I'm not nuts about the design. Never have been. So what? Design isn't everything.

Is the Cayenne still the finest SUV made by human hands on planet Earth?

Nod quietly, nod respectfully, and accept that unquestionable genius does sometimes happen.

iphone safari

  • You can bookmark websites using the Safari browser on your iPhone to make it easy to open favorite sites. 
  • To delete a bookmark you no longer need on your iPhone, tap the Bookmark button at the bottom of the Safari screen, tap "Edit," and then tap the Delete button. 
  • You can also edit your bookmarks by renaming and reordering them.  
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

The Safari browser built into your iPhone works much like any web browser on a desktop or laptop computer – it's just "lighter," with fewer features. 

One important feature that Safari retains from its computer version is the ability to save bookmarks, so you can easily return to a favorite site with a tap or two. 

If you've collected bookmarks you want to delete, you can do that as well.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

iPhone Xs (From $949.99 at Best Buy)

How to delete or edit bookmarks on an iPhone

1. Start the Safari app.

2. Tap the Bookmark button at the bottom of the screen, which looks like an open book.

bookmark 1

3. On the Bookmarks page, you can see a list of all the saved bookmarks on the first tab (be sure the Bookmark tab is selected at the top of the screen). If you've organized some of your bookmarks into folders, you can tell the difference between bookmarks and folders by the icon to the left of the name. 

bookmark 2

4. If you want to delete a bookmark that's inside a folder, tap the folder to see its contents, and then tap "Edit." Otherwise, just tap "Edit."

When the Bookmarks page enters edit mode, you have a few options available:

  • To delete a bookmark, tap the red Delete icon on the left side of the screen and then confirm you want to delete the bookmark by tapping "Delete."
  • To rearrange the order of the bookmarks in the list, drag items up and down using the drag handles (the three horizontal lines) on the right side of the screen. 
  • To rename a bookmark or change the URL, tap the item and then edit the text on the Edit Bookmark page. Tap "All" when you're done to go back to the previous page. 
  • To create a folder to store bookmarks, tap "New Folder" at the bottom of the screen.

How to split an Uber fare with multiple people, or accept a fare-split invitation from someone else

0

uber lyft people car backseat phone

  • You can split an Uber fare if you're calling a ride with friends or multiple people. 
  • All riders will have to accept the Uber fare split invitation in their Uber app during the ride – it will no longer be an option once the ride is over. 
  • If someone requests to split an Uber with you, all you have to do is accept their invitation in the Uber app. 
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

An occasionally cheaper and more convenient alternative to hailing a taxi, Uber allows you to order a car service to your location immediately, or even schedule a ride for a future time and date

You can also choose to rideshare with another Uber user going in the same direction if you want to cut down your costs. 

However, perhaps one of the best Uber features is one you may not have heard of. 

If you're using the service to go somewhere with friends, Uber allows you to split the fare so that everyone pays an equal portion of the total cost. 

Here's how to do it in the Uber app on your iPhone or Android

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

iPhone Xs (From $999 at Best Buy)

Google Pixel 3 (From $699.99 at Best Buy)

How to split an Uber fare with multiple people

1. Ensure that everyone riding has an Uber account before you get started. Then, locate the Uber icon on your iPhone or Android's home screen and tap to open the app.

2. Request an Uber ride to the location of your choice and choose the type of vehicle you want, like an Uber X or Pool. 

3. Once you've requested your ride, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal a list of menu options. 

4. Look for the "Riding with someone?" option and tap the blue "Split fare" option to the right of it. 

IMG_7946

5. Enter the names or phone numbers of the people you wish to split the fare with. Each of the people you select will receive notifications of your fare split request and will have to accept your invitation in order to pay their portion. 

How to accept an invitation to split an Uber fare

If you're not the person who requested the ride but receive a fare split invitation from someone you're traveling with, accepting their invitation so you can pay your part of the fare is easy.

A fare split request will appear as a pop-up on your Uber screen, asking you to accept or decline the invitation to split the Uber with the rider who requested it. 

To accept, simply hit Accept and that's it – you'll be paying your portion of the fare. 

All riders must accept the split invitation before the Uber drops you off, as you can no longer split an Uber fare once the ride is over.

How to find the IMEI number on your iPhone, if you want to unlock it for use on a different cellular provider

iPhone XS Max

  • Every iPhone has a unique, 15-digit IMEI number that identifies it on a cellular network. 
  • If you need to find an IMEI number to unlock your iPhone for a different cellular provider, you can locate it in the Settings app on the About page.
  • You can also dial *#06# on your iPhone to see the IMEI number. 
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Every iPhone (and any other phone, for that matter) has a unique 15-digit number called an IMEI, or International Mobile Equipment Identity. You usually have no reason to know your phone's IMEI number and can safely ignore its existence. 

Generally, the only reason you'll ever need to know your IMEI number is if you want to unlock your iPhone from a specific carrier to use it with a different service provider. In that case, you'll need to know the IMEI number to complete the unlocking process. 

There are two ways to find the IMEI number on your iPhone.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

iPhone Xs (From $949.99 at Best Buy)

How to find the IMEI number on your iPhone using Settings

1. Start the Settings app.

2. Tap "General," and then tap "About."

3. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and you'll see the IMEI number. 

4. If you want to record the IMEI number error-free, tap and hold the IMEI number for a second or two until you see the Copy bubble appear. Tap "Copy" and you can paste the number into another app.

It seems like every woman I know also swears by this ultra-comfortable everyday bra — here's what makes it so great

0

Natori Feathers Bra 4x3

  • The Natori Feathers bra shares a cult-following online, though my first experience with the phenomenon of what I call the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants bra" was through word-of-mouth.
  • The Feathers Bra is unusual in its comfort, wearability, and universal appeal. It comes in sizes 30B-36G and a huge selection of colors.
  • It's one of the few things I buy at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, where it's currently on sale for $44.90 (originally $68)

You live half your life oblivious to it, and the other half seeing it everywhere, like Robert Langdon and religious iconography in "The Da Vinci Code." I'm talking, of course, about the Feathers bra by Natori. 

I can't remember the very first time I encountered the Natori Feathers, but I've been buying it in different colors and fluctuating sizes since I was in high school. And in the years since a Nordstrom attendant dropped it over my dressing room door, I've realized that it's not just my favorite bra, it's the favorite bra of about 50% of the women I know — regardless of shape, size, age, or personality. 

Despite bra choice being notoriously personal and varied, the Feathers bra has ended up in the dresser drawers of so many coworkers, sisters, and friends. Unbeknownst to me or them, the not-new, not-flashy Natori Feathers has inspired an underground zeitgeist. Like the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" of lingerie, it has managed something close to universal appeal. 

Why? Because, frankly, it's the best version of an everyday bra. The Feathers is universally flattering and comfortable, and it wears well under everything I own, including T-shirts. The contoured cups lend comfort and shape without adding bulk, the band molds to your body, the mesh overlay prevents gaping and adds security and a seamless silhouette, and the not-too-much lace detailing makes it pretty and occasionally sexy without ever prohibiting utility under thin clothing. Plus, the simple silhouette never goes out of style.

Screen Shot 2019 07 31 at 2.03.41 PM

Online, you'll find a breadcrumb trail from the fanbase. A similar love letter in Glamour, nearly 3,ooo reviews at Nordstrom, over 600 on Amazon, mentions in Who What Wear's best bras ever, according to real women, and inclusions in Insider Picks Buying Guides for the best bras you can buy. It's made appearances on Lady Gaga at Mark Ronson's Grammys after-party, as well as on characters in shows like "Insecure," "Girls," and "Riverdale." 

It typically retails for $68, and comes in sizes 30B-36G and in as many as 27 colors and patterns. Like most products with a cult following, the Natori Feathers is rarely on sale. But, one notable exception is Nordstrom's annual Anniversary Sale which is currently running now through August 4. Right now, you can pick up the Natori Feathers in select colors for as low as $44.90 (you save $23.10). In my experience, you shouldn't hold your breath for a discount on the neutrals. It's known as a stellar every day and T-shirt bra, so Natori doesn't have much incentive to persuade anyone into trying a nude. 

How to find the right fit

For the best match, I recommend being fitted in person. But, I recognize that few of us (including myself) want to trek to the store when we could do it all online. So, here's what I'll say.

The Natori Feathers cups run small. Most of the women I know who were fitted in person in the Feathers wear a larger cup size. For reference, I'm a solid 32DD and I wear a 30F in this bra for my best fit. Your body — and your bra size — will fluctuate, and the design of the bra accounts for those changes well; the mesh overlay keeps the cup flush against my skin, and also smooths out small amounts of overflow. But, if you're going to buy a great new bra, you should get it in the right size. If you're trying the Feathers for the first time and are buying online, I'd recommend getting a few sizes to compare before committing. In my experience, I'd recommend trying your typical size, your typical band size and one cup-size up, and one band size down and one cup-size up. 

Overall, I recommend the Feathers to most people who say they don't already have it. It's comfortable, flattering, and my weekday hero of the last half-decade. If you're looking to see what all the hype is about — or you're on the market for a great T-shirt bra — it's worth checking out.

Most people don't realize this Delta credit card comes with an annual companion plane ticket — it can be an incredible value if you use it right

0

Delta

  • When you have the Platinum Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express, you'll earn a free companion pass each year when you renew the card.
  • The companion pass or certificate is basically a buy-one-get-one coupon for domestic main-cabin tickets. When you book a round-trip ticket for yourself, you can get a second one for someone else for the cost of only minimal taxes and fees.
  • This perk more than outweighs the card's annual fee, which is why I'm keeping the card indefinitely. In the fall, I used my first year's companion pass to fly with my wife to pick up our new puppy, Murray.

The two main Delta credit cards — the Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express and the Platinum version — come with a lot of perks for Delta flyers, like free checked bags, priority boarding, discounted lounge access, and in-flight discounts. 

The Platinum Delta SkyMiles credit card offers a benefit that's even more valuable, but most people aren't fully aware of how it works — or even that it exists.

After your first year with the card, each year on your cardmember anniversary you'll get a companion pass.

A companion pass is essentially a buy-one-get-one coupon. When you book an economy-class flight (in the "main cabin," as Delta calls it) for yourself anywhere within the continental US, you can get a second ticket for only the cost of minimal taxes and fees.

For me, the companion pass blows away the card's $195 annual fee, which isn't waived the first year. My wife and I fly domestically at least a few times a year, whether to visit family or friends or go on vacation, and I just save the pass until we're taking a flight that costs more than $195 each.

While the certificate is restricted to specific fare classes within the economy cabin — L, U, T, X, and V fares, if you want to get technical — this covers most of the cheaper and mid-priced economy fares, as well as some pricier ones. In numerous searches I've run from New York City-area airports, I've had no trouble finding eligible flights, as long as I'm booking at least 25–30 days in advance.

I opened the Platinum Delta card in January of 2017, and in the fall, I used my first companion pass. My wife and I got a new puppy and had to fly to pick him up and bring him back home.

Booking was easy. Once the pickup date was set, I logged into my Delta account, found the pass stored in my account management page, and clicked on it to search for eligible flights. I also searched for the same flights in a different browser to price compare — everything matched up. Because the flights were more than $195, I used the companion pass to book.

From that point, it was just as if we had paid for the tickets normally. As an added bonus: We were both still eligible for complimentary first class upgrades since we both hold frequent flyer Medallion elite status with Delta.

Delta Sky Club Sky Deck JFK

The flight up was easy — we got the airport with time to spare before boarding, and popped into the Delta Sky Club for breakfast — we had access through a different credit card, the regular Platinum Card® from American Express. The Sky Club at JFK's Terminal 4 has a wonderful outdoor space, so we brought our yogurt, pastries, and coffee outside to enjoy the mild weather and watch planes taking off.

Delta Connection CRJ-900 First Class

The flight was on a small CRJ-900 regional jet, which has a 12-seat first-class cabin in a 1-2 configuration. When our complimentary upgrades processed, we were both automatically assigned seats on the side with one seat per row. The flight was only an hour, but it was nice to have a little more space, and to enjoy a cup of coffee pre-departure and in-flight snacks.

We landed in Rochester where we were picking up Murray, and met him (and a wonderful person who had been taking care of him for the past few weeks) outside the airport. We had a few hours until our return flight, so we hung around outside and tried to tire Murray out.

Delta Pet In Cabin Rochester Airport ROC

We went to the check-in counter to get our boarding passes and pay Delta's in-cabin pet fee — although I had to call reservations ahead of time to add a pet to our trip, I had to pay the fee in-person so the agents could confirm that Murray was in an approved carrier. It wasn't busy at all at check-in, and Murray was a hit with the whole Delta crew.

Airport Dog Murray

Boarding was easy since it wasn't a full flight, although Murray was a little too curious to put his head inside the carrier.

Airplane Dog Murray

We were upgraded again as we boarded our Embraer E170 for the flight back home — this time we were seated next to each other. We declined the pre-departure beverages this time since we had Murray, and eventually coaxed him to pull his head into the carrier. After that, he settled down for a nap. We put his carrier under the seat in front of me for take-off, and pulled it back out after to make sure he was okay.

Delta Wings Dog

We had snacks and drinks during the flight — and the flight attendant (who was a dog lover) even offered us a set of Delta wings — usually given to kids on request — to put on Murray's harness!

Ultimately — especially after the experience using my companion pass — I'm planning on keeping my Delta Platinum card long-term as long as that benefit remains. The card pays for itself as long as you fly Delta domestically with companions each year, so I have no reason not to keep it.

Our tickets were $225 each, and with the companion pass, we only had to pay about $25 in taxes and fees for her ticket — so we actually ended up $5 ahead, comparing to the card's $195 annual fee.

Considering that eligible domestic fares can be as high as the $500s and $600s — for instance, on trans-continental flights — that $195 annual fee in exchange for a companion pass is a phenomenal deal.
