Frequent flyer miles are an amazing way to save money on trips for business and pleasure. This chart looks at the 25 most popular airline routes in the U.S. and crunches the numbers to see which flights are actually worth spending your miles on.
Airline miles can hold different values depending on the flight you’re trying to book. Some flights go further and some flights are more expensive based on popularity, complicating things even more. This chart from Consumer Reports took a look at a mountain of data on five of the biggest U.S. airlines—American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, and United—to see which flights on which airlines give the most value to your accumulated miles. If you’re at least getting what you paid into the deal (one cent per mile), the route gets a green check mark. Overall, Southwest has the most flights that gives you a fair value for your miles, but each airline has some that do better than others. If you haven’t started accumulating miles, the sooner you start the better. You can check out a more detailed version in PDF form here.

There are a ton of fonts out there you can use for a multitude of projects. When it comes to putting a professional-looking resume together, however, you may want to avoid the overused classics and go with Helvetica instead.
There’s not really any hard data to scientifically prove whether one font is actually worse than another—except maybe Comic Sans—but Bloomberg Business spoke with some professional typographers about the best and worst fonts for resumes to see what they thought. Generally, they shared the same opinion: you should use Helvetica instead of classics like Times New Roman on your resume. Designer Brian Hoff explains:
“Helvetica is so no-fuss, it doesn’t really lean in one direction or another. It feels professional, lighthearted, honest... Helvetica is safe. Maybe that’s why it’s more business-y. [Times New Roman is] telegraphing that you didn’t put any thought into the typeface that you selected. It’s like putting on sweatpants.”
The fonts that should and shouldn’t be used is a heated point of contention for a lot of people, but keep in mind, there’s no true right or wrong here. What really matters when it comes to putting a resume together, is that you do your best to make sure it looks good and is easy to read. A good font might not get you the job, but looking professional won’t hurt you either. To read more about the fonts you might want to use or avoid using, check out the link below.

Repairing a pair of old shoes can be a lot cheaper than buying a brand new pair—whether you wore them out or not. If you’re not sure if a pair is worth repairing, just follow this cobbler’s simple rule.
Shoes can start falling apart in a variety of ways, with some repairs being more costly than others. Antonia Farzan at Business Insider spoke with cobbler Alex Plishtiev, the owner of Danel Shoe Repair in Manhattan, to see how to determine whether a pair is worth repairing. Plishtiev shared this helpful rule of thumb:
“If the upper part of the shoe dries out or starts cracking, then it’s not worth repairing. But if the uppers are fine, the bottoms can always be fixed.”
The “uppers” can be repaired, of course, but it will be expensive and the shoes will probably need to be repaired again shortly. At that point, you’re better off coughing up the dough for a new pair. Take advantage of repair services, but always make sure it’s worth it beforehand.

When a doctor sends a biopsy sample to “the lab,” they’re referring to a pathology lab, where technicians and pathologists prepare and analyze the tissue for cancer or other diseases. Absolute accuracy here is a ponderous burden, but it’s all in a day’s work.
To learn a little about this work, we spoke with a histotechnician at a breast cancer molecular laboratory. A histotechnician—sometimes called a histotechnologist—is primarily responsible for preparing and optimizing the samples for analysis, as well as running the lab with an immaculate level of quality control. Their work is largely unseen by the public, but they are essential to the healthcare process.
After 10 years in the Histology/Anatomical Pathology industry, I am happily employed as a Histotechnician II at Agendia, a leader in molecular diagnostic testing. At home I am married to a wonderful man, Mikey and we have two kiddos, ages nine and four. In my current position, I am lucky to have a hybrid job, half on the bench working with patient samples and half administration, dealing with equipment and ordering supplies. My next project is getting a new software up and running in my lab to help pathologists identify and quantify tumor cells in breast tissue on digital images, saving them time and our company money.
Originally I wanted to be a nurse. I was in the understanding that if you wanted to be in the medical science field, you were either a nurse or doctor. I never knew there was a whole world behind the scenes, helping provide the tools and tests doctors need to diagnose and treat patients. UNTIL… I was waitlisted for the nursing program. After two years of college classes and my prerequisites completed, I simply had to wait to get in. I needed to be in school for two reasons: my sanity and to stay on my parents health insurance! Literally the next day I received a flyer about the histotechnican program at Mt. San Antonio College, which I was attending while waiting to get into nursing school. My Mom was the one that urged (nagged, let’s be honest here) me to try it out, reminding me I had nothing to lose, and that she knew I would make a better scientist than nurse. For once I listened and enrolled. Ironically, the month I graduated I finally was accepted into the nursing program. Never looked back!
Luckily I knew what type of histotechnican position I desired right out of school. During the two years in the program, we intern EVERYWHERE. Hospitals, vet clinics, small labs, giant labs, coroner offices, etc. I knew I was best suited in a small lab; I am self-motivated and love to learn the inner workings of everything. I needed to be constantly challenged and not just be pushing samples through processes. Luckily, when I graduated I was already employed, fortunately! I was in school for four years: two years of general education and prerequisites and two years enrolled in the program. Then once I graduated I was able to sit for the exam offered through ASCP (American Society of Clinical Pathology). Now I have fancy letters after my name, and more importantly, a license to work as a histotechnician, processing biopsies in a laboratory and providing the tools for clinicians to diagnose and treat patients.
Most people don’t know we even exist, but anyone who has had a biopsy, a surgery or even a mole removed—we have helped you and your doctor. We essentially prepare very thin sections of the specimen, less than a cell in thickness, and stain the cellular components for viewing under a microscope. That is the part that truly hooked me in this career. Looking at human tissues at a cellular level, stained in contrasting colors, it’s a beautiful thing. Even more amazing is that we can tell a lot about the health of that person based in the pattern of those cells. Pathologists are the recipients of our prepared glass slides of the biopsy, and can help devise treatment based on our work. No pressure.
The majority of the time I am on the bench, working with my two colleagues on setting up the patient samples for testing. We take the sample from the door to the beginning of the molecular testing. Specific to our laboratory, we only look for certain types of breast cancer, based on a set of guidelines, to qualify the sample for further molecular testing. We make sure there are enough cancer cells and that they are of decent quality. This takes a great deal of special treatment for each sample, and a close relationship with our pathologist and molecular scientists The slides are scanned on a large microscope computer that generates large images of the sample. The benefit to this machine is that the doctor can look at the slide images on any computer, even [on the other side of] the world. Much of my time is spent facilitating an open line of communication between all the departments of our laboratory, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Many people in the healthcare industry assume we just know how to prep slides and that is the end of it. We are required to know what we are prepping, and troubleshoot if anything is not perfect. This means knowing tissue structures, stain components, and any chemical reactions that aren’t performing. We work closely with pathologists to perfect the stains, to provide the best materials for them. I spent two years in school attached to a microscope, looking at several different tissue types at various disease progressions, and that barely scratches the surface. I continue to learn even 10 years in.
Most work weeks are 40-45 hours, but can creep up to 55-60 if we have any special clinical trials coming in.
Tips I would give to anyone looking for a challenging career as a histotochnician is to really work at your internships. Most of my connections were made then, and it is a small world. Not to mention you get to test out jobs! If you hate it you can walk away when your hours are done. Strive to learn all the inner workings of a laboratory—the bench is only a part. How are supplies ordered and quality controlled? What kind of standards of operations are in place, and how can we streamline them? What can we do to stay ahead of the curve? A proactive approach in any laboratory will be beneficial to the employees!
I ask questions and get involved when I am needed. My goal is to be an integral laboratory employee, essentially be as cross-trained as possible! The culture is just that at my lab: we are small and cross-training is almost a necessity. But I also know there other processes that rely on you completing yours with care, and are important to be aware of.
The worst part is knowing that there are scared patients on the other end waiting for the result. Most importantly, the CORRECT result. So much of their lives are changed by the information we generate for them. It’s hard to, but you have to put yourself in their shoes, you have to remain vigilant, and know what you are generating is of quality.
Definitely the people. I get to hang with scientists and technicians all day. I see them more than my family, so I guess it’s good that I like them so much. We are a little nerdy science family!
It does vary region by region, but in Southern California new graduates can expect to make about $50,000 annually, plus seriously rad benefits. Someone five to ten years [into their career] range from $70,000 to $85,000 annually. At Agendia we get 401k, health, dental, and vision as well. Not too shabby.
WORK HARD! And don’t burn bridges. Constantly keep learning, and make yourself a valuable employee by cross-training if possible.
Get into an accredited school, and take your internships seriously!

Dear Lifehacker,
Everyone’s been saying artificial sweeteners like aspartame are bad for you, and now Diet Pepsi is removing it. Should I worry about how much diet soda I’ve been drinking? What health hazard have I been exposing myself to all these years? And should I worry about the new sweetener that’s replacing it?
Sincerely,
Sweetener Swapper
Dear Sweetener Swapper,
When companies change the ingredients in a product, your health is rarely the main driver for the change. Sometimes they want to switch to a cheaper or more practical ingredient, and sometimes they see an ingredient swap as a marketing move. Here’s a hint on how you can tell a company is taking advantage of publicity: they announce the change loudly.
Pepsi’s CEO explained at a conference that customers wanted Pepsi to drop the aspartame, and concerns about the sweetener seem to be dragging down sales. “Aspartame is just one sweetener, but it’s the one that seems to get most of the negatives in the press and on YouTube,” he said. Pepsi’s vice president told the Guardian: “Aspartame is the number one reason consumers are dropping diet soda.” And just in case you didn’t get the message, here’s what he said to Bloomberg: “Decades of studies have shown that aspartame is safe, but the reality is that consumer demand in the U.S. has been evolving.”
Just because a company dumps an ingredient doesn’t mean the ingredient is unsafe. To figure that out, we have to look at what critics are saying about aspartame—and whether there’s any truth to their claims.
It’s easy to find information about aspartame, but the casual Googler is likely to land on a severely biased source: either patronizingly reassuring stuff from diet soda manufacturers, or fearmongering from known quacks.
Claims that aspartame is unsafe tend to follow two lines of reasoning: either links to cancer, or a focus on the components of aspartame. Let’s look at each.
Aspartame is a single molecule that our body processes by breaking it down into aspartate (or aspartic acid), phenylalanine, and methanol. All are already in our diet; those first two ingredients are amino acids, found in plenty of protein-rich foods.
For example, a quarter-pound hamburger contains over 1,000 milligrams of aspartic acid; if you wash it down with a Diet coke, that adds barely 100 milligrams more.
Methanol, likewise, sounds scary (and it is, in larger quantities; this is the poison that was added to alcohol during Prohibition). But the amount you get from aspartame is infinitesimal: a 16-ounce Diet Coke contains about as much as a banana. Or if you order your soda by the Super Gulp, you’re still drinking less methanol than what’s in a single cup of tomato juice.
Still, is there some way the combination could cause cancer, as its detractors claim? While there are many safety reviews published in peer-reviewed journals, one of the most readable explanations (based on those reviews, of course) comes from the American Cancer Society.
They explain that animal studies have sometimes shown links to cancer, but those same studies use astronomical doses of aspartame: Equivalent to 20 cans of diet soda per rat per day, over their lifetime. (Or in human terms: 3,400 daily cans of soda for a 165-pound person.) Meanwhile, studies in humans don’t show a consistent link between cancer and aspartame at all.
The safe dose in rodents, scaled to human size, amounts to 1,900 cans per day every day, leading the FDA to set the safe limit for humans at 1% of that, or 19 cans of diet soda per day. (That’s 50 milligrams of aspartame for each kilogram you weigh. A 12-ounce can of aspartame-sweetened soda has 192 milligrams. If you’re larger, you may be able to add a 20th can. Enjoy!)
It’s possible that future research will find harmful effects of aspartame, but so far the case against it doesn’t rest on any firm evidence. If you choose to avoid it, remember that regular soda, sweetened with sugar or corn syrup, is definitely associated with health risks. Switch to water or tea if you like, but don’t pretend that regular soda is somehow a healthy choice.
Diet Pepsi’s new formulation will use sucralose and acesulfame potassium (sometimes known by the catchier name Ace-K) to replace aspartame. Other sweeteners on the market include sucralose (Splenda), saccharin (Sweet N Low), stevia extracts, and sugar alcohols.
None of these sweeteners are linked to serious health issues, but the body of research is small. Aspartame has been on the market, and fairly well studied, since the early 1980s. Ace-K was approved in 1988, and sucralose came a decade later in 1998. Stevia extracts are newer still. (The purified version that’s branded as Truvia or PureVia was approved in 2008, but the FDA decided that the stevia leaf itself had too many health concerns to be considered safe without further study.)
Artificial sweeteners don’t have evidence backing up the idea that they’re dangerous, but I can’t fault people who decide they’d rather skirt the whole issue by avoiding them. That means skipping sweeteners altogether, though, and not just a particular formulation of Diet Pepsi. Here’s why: If you’re choosing to be extra cautious by avoiding aspartame, other sweeteners might not be any better. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (which, despite the sensible name, is known for being unnecessarily alarmist) lists Ace-K and saccharin alongside aspartame in its list of additives to avoid. Sucralose fares a little better, coming under the “Caution” list.
But if you’re looking for actual evidence of danger from any of these sweeteners, you’ll come up empty. The National Cancer Institute sums up the current state of knowledge: “There is no clear evidence that the artificial sweeteners available commercially in the United States are associated with cancer risk in humans.” (Emphasis mine.) The UK’s National Health System (NHS) agrees that there are no serious health concerns behind any of the sweeteners available in the US or Europe.
So switching the sweeteners in Diet Pepsi isn’t likely to make soda drinkers any healthier; and if you already drink diet sodas, switching brands won’t benefit you. Cautious folks might choose to steer clear of soda in general (maybe switch to unsweetened seltzer?), but if you like the taste of malted battery acid, there’s no compelling reason to pour yourself anything different.

Grocery stores know it’s difficult to sell stuff that’s reaching it’s “Best By” or “Sell By” date. If you let a manager know something’s close to that date, that person is likely to give you a discount.
Over at the Simple Dollar, they explain that stuff close to those deadlines often get discounted. Beat the store to the discount by asking for one:
If you’re shopping for an item and discover something on the shelf that’s close to the “sell-by” date (which doesn’t indicate that the item is bad, just when the original manufacturer recommends that the item be sold by for maximum freshness), don’t be afraid to ask whether or not you can get this item at a discount. You’d be surprised how often a manager will knock down the price for you or give you a coupon.
Usually, that food is fine after those dates. The store might even be grateful you saved them some time finding these items on the shelf. Hit the link for other grocery saving tips.

Every year, people waste tons of food—a serious and saddening issue. If you sometimes throw out food because they’ve spoiled, these printables can help.
The printables come from popular meal planning service Cook Smarts. The produce shelf life guide tells you when to use fresh produce by, while the frozen food storage guide not only offers expiration dates for frozen foods but also how to store and use them.
Laminate the printables and you can use a dry erase marker to note the expiration dates, as I’m doing above. Although there are other similar charts and resources for food expiration dates, these guides fit standard-size paper and won’t take up all the room on your fridge, so you can fit more handy kitchen graphics there. (The frozen foods guide is three pages, but you can hang them together with a strong magnet clip.)
Here are the two graphics. Print them out or head to Cook Smarts to get the PDF version emailed to you.
