This is no-doubt one of the most efficient houses on Earth.

It was designed to be 100% zero emission, and incorporates a ridiculous number of clever tricks and gadgets to truly make it a friend to the environment, according to The Daily Mail.

 Norway's Research Centre on Zero Emission Buildings and renowned international architecture firm Snøhetta teamed up to make it possible.

Welcome to the most eco-friendly house on the planet: The ZEB pilot house. It was designed to be 100% zero emission certified by a partnership of Norway's Research Centre on Zero Emission Buildings and renowned international architecture firm Snøhetta.

The house uses various natural sources to provide all the energy it needs — plus at least enough to power an electric family car for a year. It produces 23,200kWh of energy a year, but through clever and eco-friendly design uses only 7,272kWh.

1,614 square feet of solar panels cover the roof, bringing in an estimated 19,200kWh of energy. The roof is also tilted 19 degrees southeast toward the sun, to maximize sun exposure, as well as make it easier to collect and use rainwater. Thermal solar panels heat the water for use in the house.

When you buy a home, a lot of the money you spend isn't going toward your home equity. The cost of homeownership includes the money you spend on fees, taxes, and interest. These costs do not increase the value of your home nor do they reduce the principal on your mortgage.

We did some analysis on the cost of homeownership versus the cost of renting. Rental costs are offset by the interest you make on the cash you did not have to put toward a down payment. Homeownership costs are offset by the tax deduction you get on your mortgage interest payments.

The cost of owning a home will typically exceed the cost of renting when the price-to-rent ratio (the cost of buying a home divided by the annual rent of similar property) is greater than 20. We used data provided by Zillow for this analysis.

There are numerous other factors that should be considered when deciding whether to rent or buy a home. But start by figuring out whether the cost of owning is relatively cheap or expensive based on your specific needs.

This is a bad week for lovers of British confectionery. 

Cadbury has reportedly changed the recipe for its creme eggs and will no longer be using Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate on the outside of the egg in the UK, according to the Sun (ungated summary in The Telegraph).

This comes on the heels of Cadbury, which is now owned by American foods company Mondelez, reducing the number of eggs in a multipack to five from six while continuing to charge the same price.

"It's no longer Dairy Milk," a Mondelez spokesperson told the Sun. "It's similar, but not exactly Dairy Milk."

The public anger about the two changes seems to be directed toward Cadbury's new American owner, and perhaps rightly so. Cadbury was acquired in a hostile takeover back in 2010 when Mondelez was known as Kraft. The chocolate used in eggs produced for Americans has been made with powdered milk for quite a while.

As any cigar aficionado will tell you, cigars are a hobby, not a habit. And like any hobby, there is a right way and a wrong way to do it.

We reached out to Michael Herklots, vice president for retail and brand development for the Nat Sherman cigar brand, and asked him what true connoisseurs avoid while smoking cigars.

Whether you're a beginner or an expert, keep reading to see the seven worst mistakes that you can make while lighting up.

Mistake No. 1: Expecting two cigars to smoke the same.

Premium cigars are a handmade product created from an agricultural crop. Since so much variation can occur with the blends used, types of tobacco, and how the cigars were made, it's next to impossible to predict how a cigar will smoke with 100% certainty, according to Herklots.

Real cigar aficionados know this and embrace these small variations. You should too.

Mistake No. 2: Thinking that cigar flavors change from year to year, like wines.

Cigars are a nonvintage industry, which means cigar manufacturers try to ensure their cigar offerings taste the same from year to year. They add to and tinker with their tobacco blends, always trying to make sure the blend maintains the same taste while accounting for natural variation.

Over time, the taste of the cigar model will change, but very slowly. According to Herklots, the difference is negligible in the short term.

Mistake No. 3: Holding the cigar in your mouth.

A cigar isn't something t0 "clench between your teeth and cheek and suck on," Herklots says. It should be held in your hand and brought up to your mouth to puff, then brought back down to hang out between your fingers.

This also helps the cigar burn cooler, so you don't waste any precious tobacco.  

Mistake No. 4: Dipping the cigar in alcohol.

The flavor of the liquor can ruin the taste of the cigar and make it different from what the cigar manufacturer intended.

"I can assure you that if that cigar manufacturer wanted cognac at the end of the cigar, they would put it there," Herklots says.

Mistake No. 5: Limiting your cigar smoking to only one brand or type.

You can have your preferred brand, sure. But don't let some mistaken sense of duty or loyalty to a particular brand keep you from sampling several varieties of cigars.

Herklots says he has a repertoire of 10 to 12 go-to cigars that are all different types and brands. It's a great goal for any serious cigar smoker.

Mistake No. 6: Smoking what everyone else is smoking.

Don't just smoke the same fat cigar that the CEO you're meeting with is smoking. You're far better off asking the experts around you what you might enjoy instead of hacking up a lung and wasting a cigar.

This is especially good advice for beginners who aren't as comfortable smoking cigars just yet, Herklots says.

Mistake No. 7: Inhaling the cigar smoke.

You should never inhale while smoking a cigar. They're not cigarettes, and the tobacco is often much stronger.

Instead, merely take a puff and let it sit in your mouth for a few seconds while you taste it. Then simply blow it out. Puff and rotate your cigar every 30 seconds to one minute, and enjoy it with a strong alcoholic beverage.

Russell Weatherspoon, or "Spoon," as his students call him, took a seat at the sand-colored table in the center of his classroom at Phillips Exeter Academy, a prestigious boarding school in Exeter, New Hampshire.

"Where do you want to start?" he asked the 11 upperclassmen enrolled in his social ethics course, signaling the start of class.

And that was the last we heard from Weatherspoon for a while. 

"One of the parts that bothered me," a student began as he fanned the pages of "Ethics: Theory and Contemporary Issues," "is on page ..."

For 70 minutes, the teenagers batted around text citations, asked open-ended questions, and led the discussion without interference. No one raised a hand. There were few lulls. And yet, no one talked over a peer.

This classroom experience is not unusual at Exeter, as I learned during my recent visit to the school.

In the 1930s, the academy established a model of teaching called the Harkness method, which calls for an oval table in every classroom, and places students in charge of their own learning. Schools around the world have studied and adapted its pedagogy, but Exeter remains the only private high school (that I know of) to use the system in every one of its courses.

History Of Harkness

The story begins with Edward S. Harkness, an American philanthropist whose family was once the largest holder of Standard Oil stocks after the Rockefellers. He gave away an estimated $129 million before his death, including a $5.8 million contribution to Exeter.

When he bestowed the gift in 1930, Harkness challenged the school to use the money to develop a new way of teaching and learning. He wanted to do away with students sitting in rows and teachers lecturing at the head of the classroom.

The school came back with this proposal:

• Class size is limited to 12.
• Students lead the discussion.
• An oval-shaped table, named in the philanthropist's honor, stands in the center of the room — making students and instructor equal. They sit at the same height, can see one another from any seat at the table, and have "no corners to hide behind," as Harkness put it.

For more than 80 years, this system has served Exeter students in and outside the classroom. If standardized testing scores are any indication of the Harkness method's success, it's worth noting that Exeter students averaged an SAT score of 2107 out of 2400, a full 610 points higher than the national average.

Everyone Gets A Say At The Table

The Harkness method, with its small group setting, comes with an obligation to come to class prepared. Otherwise it will be pretty obvious who did and didn't do their homework. Speaking up at the Harkness table, however, is just as important as drawing out others around you.

Remember that one kid in your high school class who never knew when to keep quiet?

"I used to be one of them," one student told me during my recent visit to Exeter. "I was talking a lot. But Exeter teaches you more than talking. It teaches you to listen."

The entire day I spent at Exeter, I don't think I heard one student talk over another. Students allowed their peers to finish phrasing a question or developing an idea before jumping in, just as well as they remembered to cite the text. They are encouraged to wait three seconds before responding to what the last person said, and to begin their contribution by repeating part of what the previous person said.

During my visit, I witnessed students' "discussion etiquette training" in action, on even the most minute of scales.

English instructor Becky Moore, who has taught at Exeter for more than 24 years, began her 200-level English class with a warm-up: She challenged the students to recite the alphabet as a group. No one person could say two letters in a row, and if two people talked at the same time, the group had to start over. It began, "A," "B," "C," and so on, at random.

Halfway through the alphabet, the students reached a standstill. No one spoke. Finally, a small girl wearing glasses piped in with the next letter.

Why the lull? A student later explained, "Hillary was the only one who hadn't spoken yet, so I knew not to talk."

Harkness Spreads Around The World

When Edward S. Harkness envisioned a student-centered teaching method, he hoped it would reach far beyond Exeter. Today, that dream is being realized. 

Exeter offers seven on-campus conferences for teachers, allowing them to sit in on summer classes and learn best practices in implementing a discussion-based pedagogy. Last year, according to The Exeter Bulletin, 139 independent schools, 70 public schools, and 16 countries (as far as Australia, China, Paraguay, and Turkey) sent representatives to Exeter.

And at Exeter, the Harkness method continues to evolve. Each department adapts the system in a way that fits its curriculum. It was only in the last 20 years that the science department found a way to fit the Harkness method into a lab setting, and the math department is pioneering ways to present problems in a collaborative scaffolding.

The Harkness method is far from a "one size fits all" teaching system — just as every student's needs are unique. But when it works, it sure works well.

When it comes to renting an apartment, you definitely won't get much for your money in San Francisco, recently named the most expensive rental market in the US.

This Craigslist posting for a studio apartment in the Outer Sunset really drives the point home. For $1,280 a month plus utilities, you can rent this 280-square-foot "in-law studio," which the listing says is ideal for "someone who wants her private space without dealing too many complexities of roommates." We first saw the listing at SFist.

The apartment comes furnished, which means you'll get full access to a twin bed, dresser, desk, and a card table. 

There's a small closet.

No word on whether the previous tenants will be taking those hot plates with them.

It doesn't look as if there's a stove anywhere, and this sink doubles for both kitchen and bathroom duty.

And here's a look at the bathroom.

The apartment also boasts access to this small rose garden.

The most expensive and lavish of six apartments built atop New York City's historic Puck Building has hit the market for $66 million.

The price is astounding, and if it sells at the list price, it would become the most expensive apartment building sold in downtown New York, according to Curbed.

The 7,241-square-foot apartment features six bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, a gym, home theater, wine cellar, and beautiful rooftop patio.

The rooftop patio features a hot tub and a "yoga lawn."

Another lounge-y section of the patio.

The side of the rooftop has a grill and eating area.

In 2014 there were over 600 cases of measles reported in the U.S. – the highest number since 1994. According to the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases the majority of the people who got measles are unvaccinated.

Why are parents choosing not to vaccinate their kids? We take a look at the problem from a game-theory perspective.

Going to a top boarding school can do more than help students get into a good college — it can provide them with a powerful alumni network, a solid education, and lifelong friends.

We examined the most prestigious boarding schools in the country to find the best of the best.

To do so, we factored in each school's endowment, acceptance rate, and average SAT scores, as reported by BoardingSchoolReview.com. We weighed each of those criteria equally to rank the schools.

Data that was unavailable on BoardingSchoolReview.com was taken from the schools' websites or from Niche.

50. Holderness School – Plymouth, New Hampshire

Average SAT score: 1800

Endowment: $60 million

The Holderness School has a two-week period in March where students participate with their graduate class in experiential special programs that range from outdoor exploration to community service. Holderness accepts 45% of applicants and has class sizes averaging around 12 students.

49. Lake Forest Academy – Lake Forest, Illinois

Average SAT score: 1820

Endowment: $25 million

Since 2002, Lake Forest Academy has held an annual Head of School Symposium where students and faculty engage in conversations, presentations, and trips about diversity and global pluralism — a topic highly valued by the school. Linked with Lake Forest College, the boarding school accepts 36% of applicants.

48. St. Anne's-Belfield School – Charlottesville, Virginia

Average SAT score: 1827

Endowment: $25 million

Originally founded as a school for the daughters of University of Virginia graduates, St. Anne's-Belfield School accepts 35% of applicants. The now-coed school keeps classes small, averaging 13.7 students, and offers 15 AP courses.

For the past year and a half, a startup called Juicero has quietly been raising a boatload of cash.

It raised $4 million in October 2013 and an additional $15.8 million in April 2014, according to documents reviewed by Business Insider.

It's raising another $100 million round right now, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the deal. Investors include Kleiner Perkins, which housed the early-stage startup, and Campbell's Soup. Google Ventures, Thrive Capital, and Vast Ventures may also be involved. 

The amounts being raised and the number of contributing investors, of course, are subject to change.

The company wouldn't tell us how it works, but based on conversations with people, here's what we're told. 

Juicero, sources say, is creating the freshest juice in the world with a contraption that's sort of like a coffee Keurig. It will compete with the LivBlends juice machine. The fruit, hand-picked before you drink it, is shipped in a pouch. It's like freshly pressed juice, sources who have tried it say, only better.

Rumor has it the CEO of Campbell's tried the juice and ran back to cut a $10 million check. A Campbell's representative declined to comment on the funding.

The big idea that investors are buying into is that Juicero will change the way fruits and vegetables are delivered. The fruit you buy in stores isn't really fresh. It's picked a week or two before the store receives it, and before you ever take a bite. Based on those we talked to, we believe Juicero could own its own farms, and pick the fruit fresh before delivering it. 

The company is raising so much money because it's not just creating a household product; it's creating a whole agricultural arm to the business, which hints that the company plans to grow and supply the fresh produce around the world. The company has attracted the attention of major names in tech, including Bill Gates, who is not an investor but is well aware of the company, says one source. In October, Juicero's founder Doug Evans was spotted chatting with Apple's Jony Ive at an awards ceremony. 

Doug Evans, a vegan, was formerly CEO and chairman of a health-food chain that's prevalent in New York, Organic Avenue, with Juicero's advisor, Denise Mari.

In 2013, a major stake in Organic Avenue, 70%, was sold to investment firm Weld North, and Evans joined the company's board of directors. Evans grew up in New York and has served in the U.S. army.

Evans declined to comment for this story. He noted that his startup is still under development but should be unveiled this year.

When Ryan Waliany and his wife Serena Wu were working on the launch of their new recipe app, Kitchenbowl, they knew taking a visual approach would be the key to their success. 

Kitchenbowl, which allows users to upload and discover recipes, features beautiful photos that show how to cook each dish step by step.

"With any high-quality community, especially with food, the biggest thing is photography," Waliany said.

"There are a lot of great cooks out there, but if it doesn’t look great, it doesn’t have that same emotional appeal."

Prior to the app's launch in November, Waliany turned to Google to find photographers with an eye for food.

His search brought him to Business Insider's article about food-focused Instagrammers, many of whom have tens of thousands of followers and take pictures of food for a living. He decided to reach out to a few photographers on the list, including Southern California-based lifestyle photographer Michelle Yam. 

She jumped at the opportunity to work for a young startup.

"I talked to Michelle and she pitched me a bunch of ideas," Waliany said. "I said, 'Wow, you’re absolutely right' and brought her on the next day."

Yam says she got about 50 emails after Business Insider's article, but the opportunity to help a new company launch was especially attractive to her. 

Her social media prowess gives her a unique perspective on building an audience. 

"For me, being active on social media, I understand what it takes to get people interested in your brand," Yam said. "If you’re trying to promote your brand on such a visual platform, you need to understand what makes a picture look good."

Yam has about 45,000 followers on Instagram, where she shares photos of meals she's enjoyed at top restaurants in addition to amazing food art she creates herself.

Yam will continue to work on her own brand and with other companies while she consults remotely with Kitchenbowl, who has three employees in its Seattle office. Yam runs Kitchenbowl's Instagram page, helped determine their brand strategy, and got food bloggers started on the platform.

"I’m working with them to launch their own brand, then I’ll bow out, help them transition from startup to doing it on their own," she said.

She's already made a difference in the new company's effort to attract a following, growing their Instagram follower count to more than 4,100 in just three months.

Kitchenbowl was even featured on the App Store's home page shortly after launch.

"We're getting emails from high school kids who want to open a food truck, from a guy from Nepal who was so excited to join the community ... we're able to share recipes with the world and get those creators from around the world," Waliany said, adding that they've also posted recipes from amateur chefs in Canada, Malaysia, and all over the U.S. "Michelle was able to get all of these people interested. We wouldn't have had that reach otherwise."

Getting hitched is good for you. 

"Being married makes people happier and more satisfied with their lives than those who remain single," the New York Times recently concluded, "particularly during the most stressful periods, like midlife crises."

But if romantic comedies have taught us anything, deciding who to marry is one of the hardest choices you'll make in your life.

To figure it out, you could go the analytic route, agonizing over every compatibility.

Or you could take the oh-so-simple-advice of Peter Pearson, psychologist and cofounder of the Couples Institute, a couples therapy practice in Menlo Park, California. 

He suggests answering a simple question: "If you're living together and your partner is away for a couple days and you see a favorite scarf, a pair of shoes, or another article of clothing that's important to them, how do you feel?" 

"Do you feel annoyed that you have to pick up the clutter," Pearson continued, "or does it bring up happy memories?"

While simple, the question makes a profound point: Do you appreciate or resent your partner? 

And the answer has massive consequences. 

Relationship psychologists have discovered that kindness and generosity are what make couples last — and those qualities won't come without lots of appreciation.

Stephanie Robesky, a serial entrepreneur based in San Francisco, struck gold when she scored a coveted reservation at Noma Tokyo for her birthday at the end of January. 

According to The Guardian, more than 60,000 people applied for a chance to dine at the two-month pop-up event being held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. 

Noma is a two-star Michelin restaurant run by executive chef René Redzepi in Copenhagen, Denmark. It's known for its unusual foraged ingredients and was named "the world's best restaurant" in 2014. 

Eating there is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Robesky has dined there twice. 

"I've traveled a lot for food," she told Business Insider. "I used to live in London and had the goal of going to every Michelin-starred restaurant there." 

But there's a catch to Robesky's latest food adventure: Her reservation at Noma Tokyo is for two, and she needs a date.

"I'm single, I'm in my 30s, most of my friends are married or gay, and it didn't pan out that anyone would commit," she said. 

She has decided to look to the Internet to find her date, writing a blog post calling for applications.

"I figured anyone who would apply would be someone I'd want to date," Robesky said. "It would be someone who cares about restaurants, someone who's spontaneous enough to fly to another continent to try it." 

Anyone interested in applying for the dinner date has to be based in the Bay Area so that Robesky can meet him before the trip. He also has to be between the ages of 28 and 46 and, of course, single. 

Robesky says he must also be able to make good conversation, know how to properly use a knife and fork, and be somewhat attractive.

She'll cover the dinner and wine costs, but the lucky guy she chooses will have to pay for airfare and accommodations. Roundtrip flights from San Francisco to Tokyo cost about $1,000, she says. 

Robesky has already received about 120 responses just three days after writing the initial blog post. The experience has been so overwhelmingly positive that she joked her company should use a similar process to recruit engineers.

"So far the quality of applicants has been amazing," Robesky said. "It's ranged from CEOs to people who work in the food industry."

She's aiming to have a finalist picked by Friday so that her date has a few weeks to book his flight.
