We then added data from TSheets’ survey of 10,400 tipped workers across the country to determine which state was the best tipper....

A new study just confirmed that the COVID strain that originated in the U.K., called B.1.1.7, could be far deadlier for those infected by it, The Washington Post reports.

The new research suggests that an unnamed gene controls a man’s ratio of X to Y sperm, making them marginally more likely to have a child of one sex or the other....
