Few relationships are closer than those shared by siblings. Why, then, do some siblings have such a hard time getting along, even as adults?

We talked to a leading expert on this subject: Jeanne Safer, Ph.D. She has written numerous books on the subject of sibling rivalry, including one that traces the origin of the phenomenon to the story of Cain and Abel. She offers three steps that can be taken to resolve sibling conflict.

A two-car, 420-square-foot garage in Kensington is being sold for $1,019,466 in the latest wonderful example of London's absurd housing market.

House prices continue to increase across the UK, especially in the capital. London house prices rose 12.1% in September, up a bit from 11.7% in August, according to the Office of National Statistics. The average price of a house in London is $796,549, based on September ONS figures.

For what it's worth, the garage is located in Kensington's Lexham Gardens, a posh area in West London.

PERK: The garage door is electric.

You might prefer the listing agent's description of the space: A "chalet-style" freehold garage/workshop. There's room for two cars. Or you could fill it with a bunch of random stuff, like shelves, boxes, a watering can, and a bike.

Ten years ago, permission was granted to change the property into a single residence, but the new owners would have to apply for planning permission again.

The property is located about 0.3 miles from three Underground stations.

This holiday season, everyone should tip the caregivers in their lives.

That includes your child's nanny, babysitter, and teachers, as well as any other household caretakers like your dog walker or maid.

We spoke with etiquette expert Patricia Napier-Fitzpatrick of The Etiquette School of New York to find out more about holiday tipping and gifting. 

And even though not too much money is required, these tips are an important way to remind these essential caretakers just how important they really are.

On Saturday, New York will play host to SantaCon, an all-day pub crawl where New Yorkers dress in Santa suits to allegedly celebrate the holiday season.

It doesn't matter that bars tried to ban it, and it doesn't matter that there are horror stories upon horror stories about things that have happened on this fateful day.

It's coming.

And the problem with it — the real problem — is that on SantaCon, New York City gets hazed, and New York City has no choice in the matter. 

The city gets hazed by hundreds of drunken fools escaped from the Donkey Island where Pinocchio lost all semblance of shame. It gets hazed by immature children hiding behind a costume (because let's be real, no one who does this is over 25). It gets hazed by girls who are crying because they lost their jacket. It gets hazed by the boyfriend holding that jacket who can't stop saying, "You always get this way when you're drunk, Lindsey."

The problem with SantaCon is that it isn't about fun, it's about control. The same control a sorority girl exerts when she tells a freshman to get on their knees and quack like a duck. These Santas want to watch New York City quack.

It could be an awesome event. New York can handle St. Patrick's Day's coordinated outfits. It can handle the all-day drinking involved with the World Cup. New Years Eve, even. This is a town that survives tons and tons of outsiders coming in for New Year's Eve. Yet we can't do SantaCon.

Folks, a bar owner actually saw a midday knife fight one year. This is why Bushwick took a stand and would not allow SantaCon near its cocktail bars, DIY art spaces, or farm-to-table restaurants. Roberta's Pizza is a citywide treasure, and we cannot have a swarm of drunken morons, say, urinating in the back yard.

We need to protect what's ours.

SantaCon will try to play the victim. The organizers hired a civil rights lawyer to defend and protect the festival, the same way protestors hire lawyers to protect them from police brutality. This is an insult.

It is not your civil right to have sex in a dumpster in broad daylight. It is not your civil right to get in a 20-person brawl outside a diner where families are eating.

It is not your right to get a hand job in a Duane Reade, and then pretend to be a lawyer so you can (with some pretend shred of credibility) demand that sites like Gawker take down a story about it so that you are not publicly shamed. You should be publicly shamed. You should also stay home on Saturday.

During SantaCon, the moment someone puts on that Santa outfit, they do not decide to be a jolly, twinkle-eyed gift-giver with a love of sweets. They become the biggest, jerkiest frat star on the planet on the eve of pledge night. There is a true sense of nastiness and mischief in the day.

This is only natural, as SantaCon is used as an excuse to competitively drink hard liquor the same way people drink beer on Super Bowl Sunday.

Now the rest of us New Yorkers can hide, or we can go about our business. By going about our business, though, we implicitly participate in the day. We give these drunken Santas people to torment. We are the reindeer, the elves, and our town is the North Pole. We are the pledges.

There is no containing this, really. All we can do is be glad that Mayor Bloomberg was so strict about concealed weapons.

SantaCon isn't about being merry or a sense of holiday community; it's about the kind of debauchery that causes people to light cars on fire after hockey games — the wild, immature desire to invade, overrun, and destroy a space that doesn't belong to you.

People do this because they want to feel powerful, they want to feel in control. In that way it is a perfect haze.

And it has to stop. We obviously can't handle it.

We write a lot of lists telling travelers the best places to visit around the world.

But how about where not to go?

In a recent Reddit thread, users were asked what was the most disappointing place they've ever traveled to and why.

Keep reading to see the 16 locations you never want to visit.

1. Casablanca

"The least-interesting place in a fascinating country. Really, Casablanca is just a dumpy business district on the coast. Other than one obscenely expensive mosque that the previous king had built, there's really nothing to see." - Matthattan 

2. Malè, Maldives

"Malè, capital of the Maldives. What a **** hole. The rest of the Maldives was incredible." - I_Nickd_it

3. Jamaica

"They're very in your face about tipping and expect money for everything...If you like staying in an all-inclusive resort wallowing on a beach doing nothing but laying about maybe Jamaica is for you. If you're looking for exploration of nature and culture you'll be sorely disappointed." - aussydog

4. The Great Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt

"The pyramids could be seen from the Pizza Hut, so close it's impossible to imagine them away from the city. At the pyramids themselves, you are constantly harassed by Egyptians trying to sell you stuff up to the point where you feel the need to start hitting them to get away from you. Left after just 15-20 minutes, couldn't stand it any longer." - Broes

5. Leaning Tower of Pisa in Pisa, Italy

"It is so tiny compared to what you would have expected from pictures. The buildings around it are a lot nicer. It is overall very lame." - happypants69

6. Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, USA

"You drive up into the South Dakota mountains to see it, come to this enormous visitor's center, then the 'viewing deck' is outside, you look up, and way in the distance is this tiny set of heads. It's hard to say if it's much smaller than the photos make it seem, or if the viewing deck is an absurdly long distance away, but the impression is vastly underwhelming." - ratbastid

7. Stonehenge in Wiltshire, UK

"It's smaller than you think, you can't get close to it, and it's hours from London (which wouldn't matter if it was worth it)." - StallinWasAJerk

8. Daytona Beach, Florida, USA

"Friends somehow convinced me to go a few years ago. Never again will I enter that city of my own free will. There is literally nothing to do there, aside from going to the dilapidated beach and eating at Joe's Crab Shack." - danecdote

9. Pompeii, Italy

"Pompeii is lame and very crowded with tourists. All of the great mosaics have been taken by museums. If you want to go somewhere much better preserved, much more interesting, and way less crowded, check out the nearby ruins of Herculaneum." - Ecuadorable 

10. Gibraltar

"It really is just a big rock and not the country it technically claims to be...You can see everything Gibraltar has to offer in a few hours. We were stuck there for a week." - Noneerror

11. Sentosa Beaches in Singapore

"It's all fancy and hyper-developed and connected to one of the largest malls on earth (Vivo Mall), but you get to the beach via monorail and you get to the sand and look out to the ocean and all you see is oil tankers and factories spewing smoke on the horizon. It was like some sort of futuristic dystopia." - magnora4

12. Naples, Italy

"The city had piles of trash on the streets." - GuluOne

"In the city of Naples and the surrounding countryside of Campania, Italy, the Mafia has controlled the waste-management industry for decades – dumping and burning trash across its rolling hills and vineyards. In 1994, the European Union declared the situation an official environmental emergency, and things have only gotten worse since then." - Azertys 

13. Andorra

"Looking back, I think I basically just visited the outlet mall of Europe." - breerocks 

14. Marrakesh, Morocco

"I'd never felt so abused before (I'm from America, there's still sexism, but god it's so much easier to deal with). The molestation, coupled with the obvious disrespect (male shopowners would yell at me for not buying things — full on yell and curse — and sometimes just for fun, then laugh when all the foreign girls around became upset. They wouldn't yell at other men.) made me swear never to go back.

"I saw one shop owner ask a mother how much she would charge for her blonde teenage daughter. I'd gone through so much in a week I didn't even register that until a guy in my group started getting really upset about it." - probs_wrong

15. Athens, Greece

"Expected the birthplace of a great civilization. Received slums and scaffolding." - Kuba_Khan

16. Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

"I've been twice and while it can be fun, it's really not worth it. The streets are filthy, there are homeless people every twenty or so feet begging, and since you can get alcohol for free people get really drunk and start fights everywhere." - Mos_definitely

'Tis the season for gift giving...and stressing out over what to get for your employees.

We know that shopping for people in the office can be difficult, so we've put together a list of 22 great gifts for bosses to get their employees.

If you have an employee who always works with headphones on, they might appreciate a subscription to Spotify Premium.

The service, which Spotify sells in 1, 3, 6, and 12-month subscriptions, allows people to stream music from most popular artists on their mobile phones and without interruption from advertisers.

Price: $10.00 per month

Spruce up your employee’s desk with this cute dinosaur memo holder.

The plastic dinosaur holds post-it notes and has storage space for pencils and pens.

Price: $9.56

Show your employees you care by hosting them at your house for dinner one night.

It doesn’t have to be anything fancy (think pasta or pizza). Bringing the team together for an evening of casual conversation can be a great way of helping everyone bond.

Price: The cost of supplies.

Caracas, Venezuela once again topped a list of the most expensive cities for expats.

The ranking, released by global consulting firm ECA International, is intended to help companies calculate living expenses for employees who are sent to work abroad. But it also offers an interesting insight into the cost of living for anyone thinking of moving to a new country.

The top 10 remained relatively unchanged from 2013; only Seoul, South Korea jumped 12 spots, to number 10, and Juba, South Sudan dropped 5 spots, to number 4.

While Venezuela remains extremely expensive for expats, it can also be considered the world's cheapest city for expatriates, depending on which exchange rate you use.

ECA explains:

Venezuela’s official fixed exchange rate greatly overvalues the bolivar, making Caracas by far the most costly in the world for the second year running for companies paying expatriates on that basis.

However, expatriates now have access to the much fairer and better value Sicad 2 rate, introduced to enable a more regular supply of US dollars to importers at an exchange rate much closer to the black-market rate. When this rate is applied the cost of items in ECA’s basket of goods and services plummets and Caracas becomes the cheapest city in the world for expatriates.

The firm calculates cost-of-living expenses by looking at a basket consumer goods and services in more than 440 locations around the world.

Royal baby buzz is once again sweeping the globe.

England's Prince William and Kate Middleton announced that they would welcome a second child in September, after Prince George was born in July 2013. And Charlene Wittstock, wife of Prince Albert II of Monaco, gave birth to twins on December 10, 2014.

But there are plenty of other princes and princesses who will carry on their royal bloodlines alongside these young princes and princesses.

From Monaco to Swaziland, the next generation of future queens and kings are involved in everything from charity work to camel-racing.

Here are 17 young royals who will someday take over the world.

Ana Douglas, Julie Zeveloff, and Jennifer Polland contributed to this story.

Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana of Thailand

27-year-old Princess Sirivannavari is the daughter of the Crown Prince Maha Vajralongkorn and granddaugther of the current King of Thailand, Bhumibol Adulyadej.

She was educated at Chalalongkorn University, where she received a degree in Fine Arts. She has since been invited to Paris Fashion Week and is often in the front row at runway shows. She sells her own designs in Asia.

Prince Carl Philip, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Värmland

The dashing Prince Carl Philip is 35 years old, and third in line for the Swedish throne.

Before attending college at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, he completed his military duties at the Swedish National Defense College.

He's the brother of Princess Madeline, and his hobbies include skiing, race car driving, and graphic design.

Charlotte Marie Pomeline Casiraghi of Monaco

26-year-old Charlotte is seventh in line to the Monaco throne. Her grandparents were the late Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly, the late Princess Grace of Monaco.

Besides her good looks, Princess Charlotte is known as an accomplished equestrian and has competed in show jumping tours around the world.

In 2010, she was named as the official equestrian ambassador for Gucci, which designs competition clothes exclusively for her.

She caused a scandal in 2012 by riding in red face with face paint, a headband, choker necklace, and feather earrings.

Sitting just off the coast of New York City's East River, the Brooklyn Army Terminal was first commissioned in 1918 to serve as a major military depot, carrying troops and supplies to bases and battles in Europe. More than three million troops passed through the terminal before it was decommissioned in the 1960s. 

In the 1980s, it was purchased by the City of New York and transformed into what it is today: A four-million-square-foot manufacturing hub that is bringing high-paying manufacturing jobs back to NYC.

Andrew Gustafson of Turnstile Tours and members of the NYC Economic Development Corporation recently took us around for a tour of the facility to see the building's storied past and its bright future.

The Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT) is located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. It is owned by the the city and run by the NYC Economic Development Corporation, which has renovated it to house more than 100 businesses, including light manufacturing, medical labs, warehouse distribution, and artists' studios.

The Terminal is approximately four million square feet. The city has spent $185 million to retrofit 3.2 million square feet of that space with new electric, elevators, plumbing, and other amenities.

The complex was first commissioned in 1918 to help move supplies and soldiers for the US's war effort in Europe. It wasn't finished until ten months after the war ended in 1919. At the time, it was the largest reinforced concrete building in the world. Here's what it looked like then.

McDonald's is offering up a degree of transparency with their new “Our Food, Your Questions" campaign. The restaurant is inviting consumers to ask questions about their food on social-media platforms in an attempt to dispel myths surrounding the fast food chain.

Back in September, it was revealed that New York City’s new most expensive condo will be a $130 million triplex penthouse in the yet-to-be-completed 520 Park Avenue building.

And though the city’s real-estate community was all abuzz, there were no renderings available of what the aforementioned penthouse will look like.

Until now. BuzzBuzzHome reports that the 520 Park Avenue website is now live, giving all of us regular people a look at how the world’s billionaires will live.

This mansion in the sky will have over 12,000 square feet, a 1,257-square-foot terrace, and gorgeous views of Central Park. It will go on sale with other units beginning early next year, according to Bloomberg, and will be completed with the rest of the building in 2017.

The 54-story tower is being designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) and developed by Zeckendorf Development Co., the same firms behind the celebrity haven 15 Central Park West and 18 Gramercy Park.

It will be nearby other luxury high-rises on the so-called Billionaires' Row, sitting between 60th and 61st Street. That makes it close to all of the things wealthy New Yorkers love to visit, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to Barney's.

There will be a total of seven duplexes in 520 Park Avenue, with over 9,000 square feet each and starting at $67 million. Twenty-three single-floor units will make up the rest of the building's condos and will be priced at a more modest $16.2 million with 4,600 square feet, according to the company press release.

Needless to say, the residences will have only the finest marble, wood, and appliances.

And the view will be incredible.

The building itself will also have plenty of amenities, including a swimming pool, bi-level health and fitness center, sauna, children’s playroom, and screening room.

There will also be an airy "salon" for residents to relax in, and a garden area.

Both locations will be perfect for socializing with your wealthy neighbors.

The $130 million triplex will join the Woolworth Building’s $110 million penthouse and the $118 million trio of penthouse apartments at Battery Park City’s Ritz-Carlton Residences as some of the most expensive homes ever listed in New York City.

Looks like 520 Park Avenue will fit right in.

Iceland is a place of surreal beauty. 

The incredible landscape of the island is staggering. Most of the country is an uninhabited moonscape of craters, bright green moss, towering glaciers, volcanoes, hot springs, and fields of lava rock. 

It is so other-worldly that it is often the backdrop in sci-fi films. Iceland was the inspiration for Tolkien’s stories and is sometimes even used as practice for moon-landings. 

Plus, the people are really, really nice — and I should know since I'm from there.

Here are just a few reasons why Iceland is the most wonderful country on Earth.

1. Because in the mid-1970s Iceland built a geothermal power plant, and accidentally created one of the most visited places in the world: the Blue Lagoon. 

Spillover water from the geothermal power plant created pools in the surrounding lava fields, and when people began to swim in those waters they found that it would heal skin ailments, so they opened it to the public.

2. Because “The Journey To The Center Of The Earth” begins in Iceland. It might be a fictional Jules Verne novel, but you can go to the actual place — it’s called Snæfellsjökull. 

3. Because Icelandic children save Puffins. 

Every August, millions of newborn puffins leave the cliffs of the Westman Island to fly over the north Atlantic. But many will get distracted by the lights of the town of Heimaey and wind up on the streets, so people of the town will scoop them up and take them to the seashore to put them back on the right track. Over the years, it has become a special activity for children.

4. Because Icelanders believe in “hidden people” that live underneath rocks.

It is said that the often-harsh landscape of Iceland inspired the stories of hidden people. While this may seem like a strange belief, it is actually used most often to halt new construction developments, which helps to conserve the natural landscape of the country (seriously!).

5. Because there are thousands of waterfalls throughout the country. Iceland is home to the most powerful waterfall and the largest waterfall complex in Europe. 

6. Because the most famous restaurant in the country is a small hot dog stand in downtown Reykjavik. 

Hot dogs from Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur are basically the national dish of Iceland — not fermented shark. 

7. Because it is the land of the midnight sun. 

To celebrate the summer’s midnight sun, Iceland holds a music festival in Reykjavik called Secrete Summer Solstice. The sun doesn’t set during the three day festival. 

8. Because downtown Reykjavik looks like a wonderland of different candy-colored houses. 

9. Because Iceland is ranked as one of “the happiest places on earth,” by the World Happiness Report. It is also ranked as the world's friendliest country. 

10. Because it is so safe that the Icelandic police publicly apologized last year for killing someone for the first time in its history.

11. Because the Icelandic police also have a great sense of humor and a very silly Instagram account.

A photo posted by Lögreglan á höfuðborgarsvæðinu (@logreglan) on Oct 10, 2014 at 1:03pm PDT

12. Because Iceland is a volcanic island that is constantly growing.

13. Because the terrain of Iceland is so different and vast that it also has the largest desert in Europe. 

14. Because they still speak Icelandic, which is a language that has been largely unchanged for over a thousand years. In fact, Icelanders today can still read the ancient Sagas. 

15. Because it is called the best country in the world for women. For six years in a row, Iceland has been rated as the country with the world's smallest gender gap. 

16. Because this is the only traffic you will run into. 

17. Because Iceland is the only place in the world where you can take an elevator directly into a volcano’s magma chamber.

18. Because Iceland has never had a military, or entered into a conflict (expect for a brief conflict that was literally called the “Cod War,” and yes it was about fish). 

19.Because it is one of the best places to catch the Northern Lights. 

20. Because comedian Jon Gnarr ran for Mayor of Reykjavik, the capital city, on a joke campaign called the “Best Party” — and actually won. One of his promises was to put a polar bear in the local zoo. 

Plus, he dresses in drag to support the pride parade in Iceland:

21. Because nearly all of the homes are heated by geothermal energy. 

22. Because Iceland has a higher percentage of writers in its population than any other country in the world. Icelanders also published the most books per capita. In 2011, Reykjavik became a UNESCO City of Literature.

23. Because Icelanders understand that their country is dark and cold for a lot of the year, so they have outdoor geothermal heated pools open all year round, regardless of the weather. 

The custom of bathing in hot springs dates back to the Vikings, but today you can find heated outdoor pools scattered all throughout the cities. Icelanders basically treat the outdoor pools like bars — a place where people meet and gossip after work.

24. Because the landscape of Iceland is so lunar-like that both Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong practiced for the moon landing there. 

(Recognize this place? You may have seen it in Interstellar).

Taking pictures with your cellphone camera is so 2013.

And in any case, they're no good for taking action shots.

Instead, you should get yourself a GoPro.

GoPros are the best option for anyone who wants to take photos or video while surfing, snowboarding, hang gliding — or any other high-intensity activity.

All you have to do is attach one of these virtually indestructible gadgets to yourself, and then you can capture all the action.

www.youtube.com

GoPros are durable; they can be used underwater, and they're practically the only way to review your skills. Here are all the different GoPros and GoPro gadgets on the market right now, and who should buy them.

GoPro HERO4 Black — $499.99

Here's the most advanced GoPro on the market. The HERO4 Black has incredibly high resolution, and takes 12 MP photos at the speeds of 30 frames per second. Plus, it comes with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, as well as Protune.

Rating: 4 Stars

GoPro HERO4 Silver — $399.99

This is the baby brother of the HERO4 Black. It comes with a built-in touch display, and pairs pro-quality video and photo capture together. Like the Black, it comes with WiFi, Bluetooth, and Protune — so you can control your camera remotely.

Rating: 4 Stars

GoPro HERO3: Black Edition — $403.90

The HERO 3 series is the previous edition of the GoPro — which is slightly less advanced than the 4's but will save you some money. This model takes 12 MP photos, comes with built-in WiFi, is waterproof, compatible iwth all GoPro mounts for attaching to gear, body, helmets, vehicles and more.

Rating: 4.5 Stars

GoPro HERO3+: Silver Edition— $299.99 

And the HERO3 Silver is the secondary version in this series. It's the cheapest option of great GoPros, so if you're willing to go for a slightly lower MP and video quality, this one's for you. The GoPro HERO3+ captures video and 10MP photos at the speed of 10 frames per second. 

Rating: 4.5 Stars

GoPro Headstrap Mount + Quick Clip— $19.99 $11.87

Don't you wish you could take photos of literally what you see? Now you can. Get yourself a headstrap mount so that you can wear the GoPro on your head. It's adjustable to fit all sizes and can be worn over a helmet to take pictures of video while in motion. It comes with a head strap, a quick clip, and a thumb screw.

And good news: it's compatible with all GoPros.

Rating: 4 Stars

GoPro Dual Battery Charger — $29.99 $11.87

There's nothing worse than your battery dying right before something cool happens. So we recommend grabbing a gadget that can charge two GoPro batteries at a time. This way, you'll always have a spare on hand.

Rating: 4.5 Stars

CamKix GoPro Pole—  $29.99 $11.87

How about the GoPro's version of a Selfie Stick — a GoPro Pole? Basically, you adjust your GoPro to the top of the adjustable pole so that you can get closer to hard-to-reach spots. (Or take a selfie.) You can stretch it from a compact and portable 14" all the way up to 40".

Rating: 4.5 Stars

GoPro Chest Mount Harness for HERO Cameras— $19.99$15.49

If you're thinking of videotaping your skiing, kayaking, biking, or other action sports that requires to arms — you need the GoPro Chest mount. You'll be able to film what's going on around you without having to worry about holding the GoPro, or having the camera get knocked off your head.

Note: the Digital HERO 5 wrist camera is not compatible with this.

Rating: 4.5 Stars
Price: $39.99 $35.99

Some show their holiday spirit by trimming a tree, others by trimming their beard. 

Visual artist Katya Wildman documented a pack of these merry gentlemen in a photo series using her Samsung Galaxy Note Edge handset. 

The men's beards feature everything from candy canes to fake icicles. One man's face is almost entirely wrapped in mistletoe. 

Wildman spent nearly six hours helping the men achieve the festive designs. 

There's no denying that beards are experiencing a boom in 2014. Countless tumblrs are dedicated to documenting the most superior beard art, and one man has even used his beard to build a social-media empire.  

Earlier this week, a London-based advertising agency began selling beard baubles, Christmas ornaments specifically meant to be hung by your beard. They sold out within days. 

The baubles sell for $11 a pack and the agency is working hard to produce enough to keep them in stock. In the meantime, men will need to take a more DIY approach. 

Here's some inspiration.

One man's face is almost entirely covered in mistletoe.

Another's facial fuzz holds a robin's nest.

The men in the photo series all hail from Shoreditch, often called the "Brooklyn of London."

If you want to try the look yourself, you can purchase beard baubles for only $11.00 a pack.

However, the company that produced the baubles has experienced such tremendous demand that they've gone out of stock.

The baubles contain tiny bobby pins that allow them to be attached to your beard.

In a ridiculous way to draw in more customers, a restaurant in China is offering discounted or free meals to customers of a certain weight, according to CRI English News. 

The owners of a restaurant in Chongqing, China are weighing their customers, and then pricing their meals depending on how much they weigh, CRI reports.

For male customers, the heavier they are, the more discounts they will receive. Any male customer that weighs over 308 pounds will get his meal for free.

But things are a bit different for the female customers.

Instead of heavier women eating for free, the restaurant will offer female customers better discounts the less they weigh. A female customer will only receive a free meal if she weighs less than 76 pounds, according to CRI.  

Because that makes sense. 

According to news outlet Shanghaiist, this is not the first discount based on peoples' appearances in China. There is also a restaurant in Shanghai where tall customers eat for less.

This website and app organizes travel plans into an itinerary, allowing users to see all of their trip details in one place. It sounds simple, and yet it's life-changing for people who travel often.

The idea is simple: After you've signed up, simply forward confirmation emails to "plans@tripit.com" and TripIt will automatically create an itinerary for you. Or even better, you can set up the automatic forwarding process and you don't have to do anything to set up your itinerary.

Log in through either the app or the website, and you'll see all of your trip plans set up in one place. It also syncs everything with your calendar, making it super easy to view and share your travel plans with everyone else. You can send your itinerary to friends, family, or co-workers who want to know your travel plans.

Besides the obvious things, like flight and hotel confirmations, TripIt can keep track of everything from train passes and car rentals to movie tickets and dinner reservations. You can also add in notes and plans about people you need to see and things you want to do. The itineraries also contain helpful information about the destination, like maps, weather forecasts, and more.

And all of this is completely free. 

The company offers an upgraded service called TripIt Pro, which costs $49 per year. In addition to everything you get with TripIt, TripIt Pro offers things like mobile alerts telling you when your flight is delayed, canceled, or had a gate change; VIP privileges to other companies like Hertz; and notifications that tell you when you're eligible for flight refunds. It's like getting a full-time personal travel assistant who is constantly monitoring your travel plans.

Most avid travelers know about TripIt, but I've found that it still hasn't quite hit the mainstream yet. And that's a shame, because it's one of the best travel sites out there.

Lots of companies have a deeply religious background, even if you don't realize it. 

Forever 21 and George Foreman Cooking are just the start. Read on to see other big companies that are extremely religious.

This is an update of an article written by Kim Bhasin.

Marriott International Hotels

Bill Marriott was CEO of Marriott International Hotels for 40 years, stepping down from the CEO role in 2012.

Throughout that time, he was an active member of the Church of Latter Day Saints. 

Thus the need to balance his beliefs with his guests' desires.

"I've always been concerned about (pornographic) movies in rooms," he told the Associated Press in 2012. "In the next three or four years, we won't have any more of those. That's something we've had a real problem with because the Church is very, very opposed to pornography, as it should be, and we are for families. But the owners of our hotels were making a lot of money. In fact, the only movies that make any money are pornography."

ServiceMaster

ServiceMaster owns domestic brands like Terminix, American Home Shield, and Merry Maids. 

It was founded in 1929 by Marion E. Wade.

"Wade had a strong personal faith and a desire to honor God in all he did," the company's website reads. "Translating this into the marketplace, he viewed each individual employee and customer as being made in God's image — worthy of dignity and respect." 

Theodore Malloch, author of "Spiritual Enterprise: Doing Virtuous Business," says that ServiceMaster is an example of "servant leadership." 

What does that mean? "Think of the picture of Christ washing the feet of his disciples," he tells CNN.

George Foreman Cooking

After leaving behind a successful boxing career, George Foreman gained new-found fame as the boisterous hawker of low-fat cooking grills.

Foreman discussed his own religious reawakening in an interview with Success Magazine, and said that his personal integrity guides his business decisions. For example, he won't invest in products or sellers that promote alcohol consumption. 

Foreman also spent years as a Christian preacher— developing the charisma he'd use to sell grills.
