9 scientifically verified ways to appear more attractive

0

Attraction relies on much more than your physical appearance. 

It's in the way you carry yourself, the people you hang out with, and how you talk to people — plus a whole lot more.

Be funny.

Multiplestudiesindicate that women are more attracted to men who can make them laugh. 

In one study, a psychologist asked men to tell a joke to their friends at a bar while a woman sat at a nearby table — and the guys who told jokes were three times as likely to get her number as the people who didn't.

"The effect of a great sense of humor on women's attractions might be partially explained by the fact that funny people are considered to be more social and more intelligent, things that women seek in a mate," anthropologist Gil Greengross writes.



Surround yourself with friends.

A 2014 study from the University of California at San Diego found that people looked better when they were in a group. 

It's because our brains take the faces of a group of people in aggregate, making each face look more "average" — and attractive — as a result. 

"Having a few wingmen or wingwomen may indeed be a good dating strategy, particularly if their facial features complement and average out one's unattractive idiosyncrasies," authors Drew Walker and Edward Vul write.



Skip the small talk.

In a 1997 studyState University of New York psychologist Arthur Aron separated two groups of people and paired them off, giving each duo 45 minutes to answer a set of questions. 

One question set was small talk, and the other was increasingly probing. The people who asked deeper questions felt more connected — and one couple fell in love.

According to Harvard research, talking about yourself stimulates the same brain regions as sex or a good meal. 

"Activation of this system when discussing the self suggests that self-disclosure ... may be inherently pleasurable," Scientific American reports

11 crazy facts about junk bond billionaire Ira Rennert's $248 million Hamptons mansion

0

Rennert mansion 2

Junk bond billionaire Ira Rennert has a massive house in the Hamptons.

It's also pretty controversial. The business mogul, who Forbes says is worth $5.9 billion, was recently in court defending the funding of his Sagaponack estate. Representatives of a now-defunct mining business he used to own claimed he looted the company to build it, and in late February he was ordered to pay back at least $118 million in damages.

But the mansion, constructed for about $110 million but now valued much higher, has been the center of a number of controversies since Rennert built it in the 1990s.

I just found the perfect solution to standing desk fatigue at SXSW

0
0

Mogo

I got a standing desk about 8 months ago after hearing countless stories and statistics about bad for you it is to sit down at a desk all day.

Since converting, I've fallen in love with my standing situation. I really do feel healthier and more productive now. But there is one major problem: When I do want to sit, there's no comfortable way to do it. 

Because it would be too tiring to stand all day, I bought a high, armed chair off Amazon that cost me about $70. Business Insider doesn't have electronic, adjustable desks, though, and it turns out that the height of my chair and the height of my desk align in such a way that when I try to fully sit on it, there's no where for my knees to fit. Then if I lower the chair, my keyboard is too high. 

As a result, I end up just leaning against my expensive stool, not really sitting on it. It’s not very comfortable, not to mention the fact that whenever I'm ready to stand again, my big, bulky chair hogs the aisle behind my desk. Some of my coworkers solve the problem by just sitting in a normal chair when they want to sit and either craning their necks up at their computer, or, if they use a laptop as one of their monitors, moving everything down to a lower height. I've had several coworkers ditch their standing desks in the last several weeks because of the inconvenient situation. I myself have suffered enough standing desk fatigue that I've considered going back to the sitting life. 

During a jaunt through the SXSW exhibition center early today, though, I stumbled upon the perfect solution. It's called the "Mogo portable seat" and it's made by a company called Focal Upright. 

The Mogo is basically just a seat atop a ball, made for standing desk people who want to take a lean every now and again. Perching on the stool lets you take about 30% of your weight off of your feet. Basically, it allows me to do what I was trying to do with my chair, but that's what it's actually made for. When you're ready to stand upright again, you can either fold it back up (that's right, it folds), or lean it unobtrusively off to the side. 

From the moment I started leaning, I knew I wanted one. 

"You're supposed to change postures about six to eight times an hour," a spokesperson at the Focal booth told me. There was also a bad pun thrown in about using the stool to "rock your day job," since the ball base allows you to rock back and forth or side-to-side. Lame jokes aside, after trying the $99 Mogo out, I'm convinced that once I get back to New York I need to ditch my old chair. Looks like I'm not going back to sitting after all.

I've been using a meditation app on my phone for a week and it's changing my life

0
0

meditation

I work in New York City, and like any typical New Yorker, my state of mind is endlessly fluctuating between sort of stressed out, and totally and completely stressed out. There are only two speeds.

I've found throughout my life that living that way, day to day, is not healthy. Stress-filled days build on each other, and can leave you often jaded about the world, isolated as you are in the little anxiety-ridden universe you've created.

For the past eight months I've been training a lot in Yoga, and I love it. That's gotten me thinking more about meditation. I've done a little reading here and there, and plan to do more on how to actually start truly meditating on my own.

But in the meantime, I've discovered a really awesome app for my phone that provides guided meditations separated into categories depending on what you're using it for.

It may sound counterintuitive — phones, technology, that's all about a culture obsessed with their own short attention spans, right?

Nope. This app — called "Buddhify"— is completely awesome. And the key is in their compassionate delivery.

Think of it as on demand meditations for every part of your day. I love it.

Here's the extremely simple way it works:

Let's say you're on a train on the way to work, and you want to clear your mind to prepare for the day. You put on your headphones, open the app, and you see this handy wheel:

Buddhify

Each of these little slivers of the pie represent the part of your day or event you need the meditation for. For example, you could select "feeling stressed," "walking in the city," "work break," "difficult emotions," or in our current example, "traveling."

Once you click a category, you'll get four or five options of different meditations you can do and their title. It also tells you how long they are. Some are four minutes, some are 15. There's a great range here depending on how much time you want to spend on the meditation.

Buddhify

After that you see this:

Buddhify

Then, it's all about sitting back, relaxing, and pressing play.

I really love this app. The people they've employed to lead these meditations are fantastic. Each voice is compassionate, modern, and even a little amusing at times in all the right ways. I've used this app on the train, walking in the street, or just sitting cross legged on my living room carpet.

It's only a couple bucks and is available on both Android and iOS. I can't recommend it enough, it will revolutionize your day if you let it.

Here's their official video:

The people on this remote Indonesian island practice rituals to ‘fertilize’ the soil with spilled human blood

0

Sumba Pasola 11On Sumba, a remote island in the Indonesian archipelago, natives continue to celebrate their most ancient traditions. The most important of these is the Pasola, an annual festival to celebrate the harvest. 

The Pasola festival is a brutal war ritual that pits two neighboring tribes against each other. Men of age ride on horseback throwing spears, with a deadly intent to spill blood onto the soil. Without blood, the Sumbanese believe, the harvest will be bad. 

Photographer James Morgan recently traveled to Sumba to document the festival. He has shared some of his photos with us here, but you can check out the rest at his website

Editor's Warning: Images in this slideshow may be considered graphic by some readers.

Sumba is a tiny island in Indonesia with a population of about 650,000. Unlike most Indonesian islands, Sumba has indigenous horses, which play an important role in Sumbanese culture.

 

 



Sumba is largely covered in rice paddies. The Sumbanese believe that for the rice to have a good harvest, blood must be spilled on the ground.



To spill the blood, the Sumbanese enact the Pasola. Shamans called "ratus" determine the date of the Pasola based on the appearance of the Nyale sea worms, which show up on the beach once a year.

Steve Jobs' biographer reveals the childhood moment that defined the Apple founder

Chicago's tallest building could soon be named after a billionaire's private equity firm

willis sears tower chicago tallest buildings

The Willis Tower could soon become the Blackstone Tower. 

Steve Schwarzman's private equity fund is buying the Willis Tower, it announced Monday. At 110 stories, the Willis Tower bills itself as the fifth-tallest office building in the world (it was first called the Sears Tower). 

Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII, a property investment fund that is totally separate from Blackstone's flagship private equity investment vehicles, is making the acquisition, though terms were not made public. However, a report in Crain's had suggested a price tag of $1.5 billion for the deal. On Monday, a report on CNNMoney pegged the purchase price at $1.3 billion. 

Blackstone has a recent history of striking big deals for iconic properties. Right before the financial crisis hit, Blackstone did its biggest deal in the form of a $26 billion deal for Hilton Hotels in 2007. Last year, Hilton was brought back onto public markets by Blackstone in a successful IPO, and as the private equity firm has reduced its share in Hilton the hotelier has also struck deals of its own, including the $1.95 billion sale of New York City's Waldorf Astoria hotel to Anbang Insurance Group Co., a Chinese firm. 

Blackstone CEO Schwarzman has had a good 2015 so far. His 2014 pay, announced last month at $690 million, far eclipsed his 2013 tally of less than $500 million.

2 childhood friends turned their love of reading into a hugely successful T-shirt company

0
0

Todd_Jeff_1

T-shirts and tote bags are great for announcing to the world how you feel about almost anything, whether it's politics, music, or your alma mater. But what about the books you love?

Todd Lawton and Jeffrey LeBlanc started Out of Print Clothing to let readers show off classic cover art from books such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Great Gatsby." As Lawton explains it, "We wanted to give book lovers the same experience as other people who love superheroes and sports teams. Musicians have merchandise. Superheroes have merchandise. Why not books?"

Since its founding in 2010, Out of Print has expanded into selling every kind of literary-themed merchandise imaginable, including smartphone cases and baby onesies. For every product it sells, the company donates one book through the nonprofit Books For Africa. (They've donated millions of books so far.)

When Lawton and LeBlanc met as seven-year-olds in Portland, Oregon, their only business experience was holding the occasional yard sale to raise money for soccer uniforms. Lawton laughs, "We got to learn how to price things, though. Handle cash."

After LeBlanc moved away in seventh grade, the two friends didn’t meet again until 2004, when they were in New York City. By then, LeBlanc had been a consultant at McKinsey and worked for a hedge fund. Lawton was brand manager for Nike. "I think one of the reasons we work so well together is we have complementary skills," says LeBlanc. "Todd comes from a sales and marketing background, and I came from the less interesting world of finance and consulting and operations. Between those two areas, we seem to have the bases covered."

Their best-selling line right now is the Library Stamp Collection of shirts, designed to look like those old-fashioned library checkout cards. The company has 11 employees, with plans to expand their product lines further.

Their favorite books, by the way? Lawton picks "Catch-22," while LeBlanc's favorite is "The Count of Monte Cristo."

We interviewed Lawton and LeBlanc as part of our Fast Track Q&A series, in which we're asking various small-business owners 11 questions about their professional and personal inspirations. Read more in the series »

Interview conducted by Business Insider Studios and edited for clarity and length.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Todd Lawton: I basically wanted to be Jacques Cousteau. I had this fascination with things underwater and I wanted to be down there.

Jeffrey LeBlanc: I wanted to be a pilot. When I was 5, I flew to Scotland and I actually got to go in the cockpit and handle the controls.

Jeff & Todd_circa 1984.JPGHow did you get the idea for your business?

Lawton: Obviously we were both fond of books, and we felt like there was a way to make books cooler. They can be a fashion statement and should be a fashion statement. The cover art is some of the best from the 20th century.

How did you pick the name for your business?

Lawton: We were looking at a lot of covers and they were all out of print, so the name just came to us right away.

What's the biggest risk you've taken in your career?

LeBlanc: I think for me it was leaving a cushy hedge-fund job. I had no idea what was next.

Lawton: I would say moving to New York from Oregon was probably my biggest risk. It was just after college. I had no contacts, no job, and then just decided to come out and figure it out. It was scary coming from somewhere like Portland, Oregon. I remember the first night. It was in 1999, and I was walking around the city. I was like, "Where am I?"

What’s the strangest request you’ve ever gotten from a customer?

Lawton: A couple of years ago during the holiday time, our busiest time, we had an order come through and in the notes section it said, "Can you please hand-draw a picture of a cat on this package?" We were so far behind on orders, to the point where Jeff and I were actually pitching in at the warehouse to get things out. We sat down there and I forget who did it but someone drew a picture — I think our warehouse manager at the time. It made someone’s holiday.

What is your greatest talent, professional or otherwise?

LeBlanc: I don’t know if it’s a talent or something else, but I once ran for 24 hours straight in a race.

Lawton: I’d say, collectively, Jeff and I have a really positive outlook. And obviously, perseverance.

What's the first job you ever had?

Lawton: I took care of a neighbor’s hamster while they were on vacation. And it got out and I had to go into the hardware store and get one of those live traps and we ended up catching it a few nights later. I moved on to walking dogs after that. They’re much easier to track down.

LeBlanc: In junior high I was a paperboy and I had to collect money for the paper. The highlight of that job for me was this one elderly lady who would actually give me, as a tip, a coin from her old coin collection. To this day I have them.

What's the weirdest job you've ever had?

Lawton: Shortly after I moved to New York, I somehow ended up as a coat checker at a restaurant on New Year's Eve. That particular night especially, at the end of a millennium, was the weirdest job I think I’ve ever had.

Which entrepreneur or business personality do you most admire?

LeBlanc: For me, I choose Elon Musk, because he’s not just building companies, but also industries.

Lawton: Growing up in Oregon and having worked at Nike, I would say Phil Knight. In terms of having a passion, pursuing it, and taking it to the point of really changing the world — he's inspiring.

If you had a superpower, what would it be?

Lawton: I think it would be awesome to breathe underwater, just walk along on the bottom of the ocean. I’ll do that. It kind of ties to your first question.

LeBlanc: It’s funny, my answer also ties to your first question: I would want to fly.

What advice would you give to an aspiring small business owner?

Lawton: Get an idea or concept out as soon as possible. Don’t be afraid to talk about it with people, because that’s really how your ideas form. It's how they move forward.

LeBlancMove as quickly as you can from planning mode to doing mode. It's the best way you can find out if you have something that works. Get your idea out there, and get real feedback from real customers.

Lawton: Just come up with something. It doesn’t have to be perfect. You’ll know pretty soon if it doesn’t work, and you keep constantly changing, growing.

Make smoother and less bitter coffee with an Aeropress

aeropress coffee maker

Aeropress is basically the upgraded French press you've been waiting for.

The biggest problem with a regular French press is that it lets small particles pass through the filter, which leaves the coffee tasting bitter and gritty.

On the flip side, the Aeropress uses a micro-filter, which makes coffee smoother and gets rid of the bitter flavor. We guarantee your stomach will thank you.

Note: the Aeropress makes 1 to 4 cups of coffee or espresso (enough for 1 to 2 mugs) in under a minute.

Aeropress coffee and espresso maker: $26.17

An apartment in NYC's Tribeca with a giant skylight is on the market for $10.6 million

Tribeca 55 North Moore Street

More evidence real estate prices in New York are insane: A ground floor apartment in Tribeca with few traditional windows is on the market for $10.6 million, according to Curbed.

There is a giant skylight allowing some sunshine in, but there are few windows looking out on to the street.

The 4,300 square foot converted commercial space has been updated with all the modern conveniences. It's located in the heart of Tribeca, so you can almost forgive listing price and the fact that it has few windows.

It also has a convenient mixed-use layout if you're the work from home type.

Esther Lixenberg has the listing.

This Tribeca pad isn't your typical sky-high floor duplex apartment.



Instead, it's a 4,300 square foot ground floor windowless converted commercial space. It's multi-use, with space in the rear to be used as a doctor's office or massage parlor.



Well, ok, there are windows — just not in the traditional sense. Skylights make sure the apartment is well-lit, but there are still only a few traditional windows to look out and see the street.

The best and worst cities to save money in the US

portland

Everyone wants to save money.

However, it's easier for some people than for others.

The ability to save doesn't just depend on your income — it's your income versus your costs that really matters. And in some US cities, the cost of living is much more manageable than in others.

Debt.com looked at 2015 gas prices from GasBuddy and home and rent data from Zillow, as well as late 2014 unemployment rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and 2013 median income and population data from the Census Bureau to determine in which US cities it's easiest for residents to save — or not to save — money.

In map form, it's pretty clear that  the worst cities for setting aside savings tend to be concentrated in the Northeast and on the West Coast, while there are a handful of best cities clustered in the Midwest. Scroll over a dot to see the city and its rank. Click the dot for more details on the cost of living in that area. (Note: You may have to zoom out once to see the most affordable city!)

You've been mispronouncing these 11 Scotch brands — here's the right way to say them

0

Drinking Scotch is easy — but pronouncing the name of the whiskey you're drinking can be challenging. Many brand names use Gaelic, which can be confusing to those unfamiliar with the language's unique set of phonetics.

We asked Heather Greene to help us out.  She's the director of Whiskey Education and sommelier at New York's Flatiron Room, and she also just wrote a book called "Whisk(e)y Distilled" on the subject.
