• INSIDER rounded up 20 of the most mouthwatering varieties of pizza from around the world, including versions in America, Italy, France, Japan, and Turkey.
• Detroit-style pizza is a deep-dish pie with an extra-crispy crust topped with "brick cheese" and a layer of sauce on top.
• In France, a tarte flambée is topped with fromage blanc or crème fraîche, onions, and lardon (bacon).

Americans are obsessed with pizza. As our unofficial national food, there's nothing quite like a heavenly pie topped with generous heapings of cheese and sauce. But baked dough with toppings is not an exclusively American or even an Italian culinary tradition.

INSIDER has curated a list of pizza-like dishes from around the world, from more familiar iterations like the thin-crusted Tarte Flambée in France to Sfiha, a Middle Eastern open-faced pie topped with ground mutton.

Keep scrolling to create your own travel bucket list of "pizzas" to try around the globe.

Sfincione pizza, Sicily, Italy

The Sfincione New Year's pie is known as a thick-crust Sicilian pie in America. In Sicily, the thick, spongy crust is topped with bread crumbs, onions, and caciocavallo (a dry, crumbly cheese).

Adjaruli Khachapuri, Georgia

This baked cheese-and-egg-stuffed bread resembles a pizza boat. The cheese is usually made with a blend of mozzarella and feta or a more traditional imeruli and sulguni cheese.

Zapiekanka, Poland

This baguette-like pizza is sort ot like an open-faced sandwich, and topped with cheese, mushrooms, and a drizzle of Polish ketchup. Other ingredients like feta cheese or olives are often added as well.  

• US President Donald Trump's Twitter account went down for several minutes Thursday night.

• Twitter released a statement blaming the disruption on a departing employee.

• Plenty of people have quit their jobs in wild ways or devoted their last day at work to some pretty outlandish shenanigans.

Some people just like to go out with a bang.

This could be the reason why US President Donald Trump's controversial personal Twitter account was out of commission for a few minutes Thursday night. After some confusion, Twitter released a statement pointing a finger at an unnamed employee, who was apparently wrapping up their last day at work, Business Insider reported.

Some folks just can't resist delivering a parting shot before they walk out the door.

Here are some of the craziest things people got up to on their last day at work:

A Twitter employee shut down Donald Trump's account for 11 minutes

The US president's personal Twitter account went dark for 11 minutes Thursday night.

At first, the social media platform claimed the issue was an error on the part of one of its employees.

Then, Business Insider reported Twitter released a statement blaming a "customer support employee who did this on the employee's last day of work."

Trump's Twitter behavior has come under criticism for everything from launching attacks against individuals and entities to escalating tensions with North Korea.

Business Insider's Pamela Engel wrote a Quinnipiac poll found 59% of Americans think the president should delete his personal Twitter account.

Trump himself weighed in on the situation, tweeting: "My Twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact."

A JetBlue flight attendant cursed out an entire flight, activated the plane's emergency slide, and ran off

One flight attendant's 2010 resignation has gone down in history as one of the wildest quitting stories out there.

It all started with a quarrel between an airline passenger and flight attendant Steven Slater. The JetBlue employee alleged one passenger ignored his instructions to remain seated, and accidentally hit him in the head with her bag. His account was later disputed by passengers on the flight, however.

Slater got on the plane's speaker system and proceeded to launch an expletive-filled rant.

Then, Business Insider previously reported Slater escaped the plane by activating the emergency slide, ran off to his car, and drove back to his Queens home.

He was subsequently arrested. Ultimately, Slater was sentenced to one year of probation, according to CNN. NJ.com reported that he said was under stress pertaining to his mother's illness and his own HIV-related health issues, and that may have been a factor behind his outburst.

A TV reporter quit – and cursed — while live on air

Charlo Greene, a reporter for Local Anchorage, left her job to focus on her real passion: legalizing marijuana in Alaska.

And the way she went about resigning is one for the books.

According to the Huffington Post, after telling viewers she would be leaving to focus on "fighting for freedom and fairness" by cultivating the Alaska Cannabis Club, she added, "And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, f--- it, I quit."

Needless to say, the news anchor on duty looked more than a bit flabbergasted by her departure.

• New York strippers are organizing a strike to protest discrimination in the industry.
• One issue: A new wave of bartenders — known as "startenders" or "bottle girls"— have started taking away tips, sometimes even snatching money off the stage.
• Startenders have risen to prominence in the last few years with the rise of Instagram, where they command huge followings.

New York City strippers are speaking out against what they say is unfair treatment at the hands of club promoters and managers.

With the rise of "bottle girl" bartenders in the city, dancers say they're dealing with unfair treatment, including insufficient pay and racial discrimination, The Washington Post reported. According to strippers, bottle girls — who often are just as scantily clad as strippers — are given preferential treatment and hurt strippers' profits, sometimes literally taking dancers' cash off of tables.

About a week ago, strippers organized under the hashtag #NYCStripperStrike to shine a light on these issues.

Here's how bottle girls rose to prominence in recent years — and how they play a role in the recent strike:

• INSIDER interviewed 11 different bartenders both past and current to get the scoop on their favorite hangover cure.
• Always chug a bottle of water before you go to bed.
• The next day, reach for plain food instead of the typical greasy morning-after fare.

We've all been there before: "Happy hour with your co-workers" suddenly turns into late-night karaoke, and the next morning becomes brutal.

Unfortunately, the only true cure for hangovers is the painfully slow passage of time. However, for a quick fix we spoke with 11 bartenders who revealed their tips, tricks, and cures for the common hangover.

Try out your favorite or mix and match from our list of cures, but this roundup is sure to make your morning after a little easier to bear.

Chug water before you go to bed

"Chug a bottle of water before you go to bed," Adam Aro, who works at Chelsea Pub in Hermosa Beach, told INSIDER.

Remember, the more water — and the earlier you drink it in the evening — the better.

Drink a beer first thing in the morning

Mikey Yoder of Komodo — an Asian restaurant in Miami — also swears by keeping yourself hydrated by chugging a bottle of water (with three Aleve) before bed. But he also uses this tip when he wakes up:

"Have a beer in the morning the first thing after your eyes open," Yoder said. "I had a friend who swore by this for years. I was skeptical because I was always under the impression that only time truly cures a hangover. However, I tried it once and realized there was truth in the method." 

Put ice on your face and take Benadryl for swelling

A not-so-fun side effect of a nasty hangover? The ugly "hangover face" you get from swelling due to dehydration.

"Put ices cubes on your face to help with swelling and take two to three ibuprofen and a Benadryl before going to sleep," Adam Aro said. 

One hundred and forty-nine MLB players became free agents on Thursday morning, signaling the start of what's sure to be a compelling offseason.

Many organizations are keeping one eye on next year's incredibly deep free agent class, set to feature players like Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, Gio Gonzalez, and Craig Kimbrel, so rebuilding clubs may be a bit quieter than usual this winter. Still, there's plenty of talent available on the market right now, so expect to see some fierce bidding wars, especially among teams with playoff aspirations.

Below, check out our breakdown of the top 30 free agents and their potential landing spots.

30. Alex Avila, C

Age: 30

Old team: Chicago Cubs

2017 stats: .264/.387/.447, 14 HR, 49 RBI

One thing to know: Avila's bat quieted down after a midseason trade sent him from Detroit to Chicago, but his on-base skills remained as potent as ever, helping him to a .369 mark while on the North Side. For all their dominance this year, the Indians could use an extra catcher to split the starting duties with Yan Gomes.

Best fit: Cleveland Indians

29. Tyler Chatwood, RHP

Age: 27

Old team: Colorado Rockies

2017 stats: 8-15, 4.69 ERA, 7.3 K/9, 1.442 WHIP

One thing to know: Chatwood's numbers don't exactly jump off the page, but at just 27 years old, he's a strong candidate to rebound in the seasons ahead. The Orioles never seem to be out of contention for long, and they could use a rotation stopgap to go along with Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy.

Best fit: Baltimore Orioles

28. CC Sabathia, LHP

Age: 37

Old team: New York Yankees

2017 stats: 14-5, 3.69 ERA, 7.3 K/9, 1.271 WHIP

One thing to know: Most pitchers decline once they enter their mid-30s, but not Sabathia, who's improved his ERA in every year since his injury-shortened 2014 campaign. His veteran experience and poise under pressure make him an ideal candidate to return to the Yankees' young rotation in 2018.

Best fit: New York Yankees

Reviewers generally like Microsoft's new Xbox One X game console.

But many also said they couldn't give a definitive verdict on it. That's because they didn't have enough games to play on it that take advantage of the new console's capabilities. 

The $500 gadget is due out November 7, and Microsoft allowed some game journalists to get an early look at it. The game machine's selling point is that it will play games that have been "enhanced," a term representing a grab-bag of different technologies and features, including 4K video resolution and high dynamic range (HDR). Many of the latest TV support both 4K, which delivers sharper images on bigger screens, and HDR, which provides a greater range of light and dark tones than you'd see on screens without it.

The problem is that there just aren't many "enhanced" Xbox games to play. So reviewers had a tough time evaluating the console.

Still, the reviewers did have some interesting notes from their tests of the Xbox One X. Here's what they had to say:

SEE ALSO: 6 reasons why you should buy a regular Xbox instead of the new $500 Xbox One X

Reviewers liked the design of the Xbox One X.

Overall, reviewers like the fact that the Xbox One X takes some design cues from last year's Xbox One S.

The new gadget has a sleek, minimalist appearance with a matte plastic exterior. Its power supply is housed inside of the game machine instead of in an external power brick.

Many reviewers liked the fact that they could position the Xbox One X horizontally or vertically. 

Reviewers liked how smoothly the Xbox One X plays games.

The general consensus from reviewers is that the Xbox One X plays games with few hiccups or stutters. The new machine even does well with games that aren’t "enhanced" for it, playing them more smoothly than the Xbox One S.

"Even during the most intense firefights, the gameplay was beautifully smooth," said TechCrunch’s Matt Burns, referring to his experience playing "Gears of War 4" on the Xbox One X.   

Some said games looked great even on older TV sets.

The Xbox One X was designed for TV sets that support 4K and HDR. But you can still see a difference between it and previous Xbox One models if you plug it into an older, 1080p TV, thanks largely to its sheer power, reviewers said. 

"1080p TVs will see benefits to pure performance," said The Verge's Warren. "I played Destiny 2 on the Xbox One X and it felt a lot smoother than on my Xbox One S."

The INSIDER Summary:

• You might recognize Stephanie Shepherd from "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."  
• Kim Kardashian hired her as her personal assistant in 2013.
• Now, Shepherd is COO of Kardashian West Brands, managing Kim's projects outside of "KUWTK," and she's becoming famous herself.
• Shepherd moved to LA from Ontario, Ohio, at the age of 19 and now leads as fabulous a life as her celebrity BFFs.
• She hangs out with the Kardashians all the time, travels around the world, and lives in a beautiful Beverly Hills home.

If you watch "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" closely, you'll probably recognize Stephanie Shepherd, even if you know nothing about her.

Shepherd has been by Kim Kardashian West's side since 2013, working as her personal assisant and doing everything from laundry to assembling North's strollers.

In Sunday's episode of "KUWTK," Shepherd spoke to Kim about how she wasn't fulfilled in her role as her assistant. As Refinery29 notes, she has since been promoted to COO of Kardashian West Brands, where she manages Kim's projects that fall outside of "KUWTK," including Kimoji and her collab with Kylie Cosmetics.

While her responsibilities have changed (we're pretty sure she's no longer doing Kim's laundry), Shepherd remains one of the reality star's closest confidantes, and already gets noticed as a mainstay in the Kardashian inner circle.

With over 700,000 Instagram followers and counting, she's likely bound for greater fame. Here's what you need to know about her.

Please note, we sourced the information below from Refinery29's fantastic interview with Shepherd — you can read the interview in full here.

Kim Kardashian hired Shepherd as her personal assistant in 2013. At the time, the famous reality TV star was pregnant with her daughter, North.

It's often difficult to tell how tall a celebrity is, but you can easily tell when there's a drastic difference.

Some celebrity couples make that difference pretty clear. 

Here are 23 celebrity couples with some extreme height differences. 

At 5' 4", Mila Kunis is much shorter than her 6' 2" husband, Ashton Kutcher.

Kristen Bell is a petite 5' 1" standing next to her husband Dax Shepard, who is more than a foot taller at 6' 2".

Will Smith stands 14 inches above his 5' 0" wife Jada Pinkett Smith at 6'2".

The hype around the iPhone X has been building since the gadget was first unveiled in September.

On Friday, Apple's new phone finally landed on store shelves. But hordes of eager consumers had already begun gathering outside Apple retail stores well before the doors opened. Whether motivated by a desire to be first, or a fear of Apple running out of stock, techies love to line up outside Apple stores — sometimes camping out for days — when the device goes on sale.

Word was that the crowds for the $999 iPhone X, the tenth anniversary model of the iconic device, would be even larger than usual. And I decided that experiencing what it's like to be part of this curious subculture of Apple fanatics and line waiters was something I couldn't pass up.

As it turns out, a coworker in New York was desperate for the new iPhone X, so I volunteered to do the line thing and get it for her. I chose the Union Square Apple store in San Francisco. It's a flagship location, and because of its central location I knew there'd be a big crowd. 

I had no idea what was in store, but at 3:30 a.m., my alarm went off and the adventure began.

Since I'd be getting there in the dead of night and San Francisco is getting chillier, my main concern was the weather. So the night before I laid out my many layers in preparation.

I arrived at 4:00 a.m. to a drizzly morning.

I claimed a spot at what I thought was the end of the line about two blocks up from the store entrance. I quickly learned that the line actually kept stretching around the corner, and moved to my place in the back. 

The people in the very front of the line had been there since the morning before, and had come prepared with chairs, umbrellas, and lots of blankets. 

Lacking my own camper chair, I set a (rather sad) brown paper bag down to mark my place in line.

The New York City Marathon is not for the feint of heart. The race, which covers through the five boroughs of the city, can be a literal uphill battle for competitors. But some people can't resist a challenge, including the many celebrities who've run the New York City Marathon. 

From movie stars to super models, some of the biggest A-listers have taken on the challenge — some of whom have endured the 26.2 miles for a good cause. Here are all the celebrities who've run the New York City Marathon, including the six who will run it in 2017. 

Bryan Cranston

In an interview with The New Yorker, Cranston said he decided to run the New York City Marathon after being inspired by the competition a year earlier. 

The actor told the publication that he stumbled across the race after sulking over a job loss. He saw, "old people, children, people in bunny costumes, people who’d lost their legs, this amazing menagerie of humanity," and began training the next day for the 1985 race. 

Will Ferrell

According to Competitor, Ferrell ran the 2011 New York Marathon in 5:01. He followed that up by running the Stockholm Marathon in 2002 and the Boston Marathon in 2003. 

Diddy

Sean "Diddy" Combs ran the New York Marathon in 2003, which was document on the MTV special 'Diddy Runs The City.'

"I've never experienced mental or physical pain like that," Diddy told MTV after the race, which he finished in 4:14. The rapper used the race to raise more than $2 million for various charities, including New York's public schools, the Children's Hope Foundation, and Daddy's House youth organization. 

Many of the "Thor: Ragnarok" actors look a lot different when they're not trying to save Asgard — or destroy it. A lot of the cast wear colorful costumes and wigs. At least one is completely unrecognizable as a CG character.

• The iPhone X is the first iPhone to ditch the physical home button.
• But there is a way to simulate a home button using the iPhone's software.
• It's a bit of a hack, though, and we don't recommend it. 

Apple made one big change to the iPhone X. 

In an effort to make the phone's screen span edge-to-edge, Apple has eliminated the home button that has graced every other iPhone since it was invented. 

Apple replaced the iPhone's functions with gestures that are fairly intuitive, but some people will still miss the original home button.

Turns out, there's a way to simulate the old home button in software, as discovered by The Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern.

However, it's a bit of a hack — the software "home button replacement"  covers part of the interface in most apps and it's clearly not what Apple intended users to do. It won't read your fingerprint, either. 

But if you really want to try out a software home button on your iPhone X, read on: 

SEE ALSO: The iPhone X is on sale now — and people lined up for days to buy it

There isn't one of these on the iPhone X.

Without a physical home button, the screen on the iPhone X covers nearly the entirety phone's front.

There's just screen where the home button used to be. 

Let's create a software home button. The workaround uses a feature originally intended for people with disabilities called Assistive Touch.

• Tesla's Q3 earnings were dreadful, but the Model S and X are going to set a sales record for 2017.
• Tesla is a good position to build a strong business in China.
• CEO Elon Musk is an inspiring, front-line leader.
  

CEO Elon Musk says Tesla is in production hell with its Model 3, and last week, the company reported the largest quarterly loss in its history as a public company.

The markets wasted no time in hammering the carmaker's stock down below $300. Earlier in 2017, Tesla has surged toward $400.

Adding insult to injury, the Republican tax bill, if passed, would eliminate a $7,500 federal tax credit that every new Tesla owner has been able to claim. 

It looks like everything is going wrong for Tesla, all of the sudden. But while the headlines are awful, there's some underlying and overlooked good news.

SEE ALSO: Tesla's Model X is like no other luxury crossover SUV — here's why

The lucrative luxury-car business is on track to set a sales record in 2017.

With all eyes on the Model 3 and its production woes — Tesla said it would be building 5,000 a week by December, but that target has been pushed back to next March — it's easy to lose sight of the rest of Tesla's business.

Yes, if Tesla can deliver on 500,000 pre-orders for the Model 3, it will rake in a huge amount of revenue. But in 2017, the company is on track to sell 100,000 Model S sedans and Model X SUVs, vehicles that go for around $100,000 on average, much more than the highest-priced $44,000 Model 3.

Tesla's margins on the S and X are sort of speculative because the company has lost money for pretty much its entire existence. But the profits could be as high as 25%. That's superb for the auto industry, a margin more like what Apple garners for iPhones.

To savvy observers of Tesla, this means that the company has a life raft, in the event the Model 3 causes so much trouble that it threatens the carmaker's future. As long as Tesla can maintain S and X demand at around 100,000 annually —and with global sales, that should be possible — it can count on a baseline of roughly $12 billion every year (about $3 billion per quarter). 

A successful Model 3 would mean much higher annual revenue, but it's unlikely that Tesla will make as much money on the vehicle, so it would have to sell a lot of 3s to make up for the profit gap with S and X.

The bottom line is that the "core" Tesla business is, on paper, sustainable. It will have that to fall back on for some time.

Tesla's China strategy is a departure from business-as-usual.

Automakers such as General Motors and Volkswagen have strong businesses in China. In GM's case, the automaker has been active in the Middle Kingdom for decades and can now see the potentially gigantic Chinese market — it could represent 40 million in yearly sales — as a counterweight to the US market. US sales can slide, but China will make up it for it.

Tesla could operate according to the same logic. But while GM, Ford, VW, and other automakers have to enter into joint ventures with Chinese companies to sell vehicles in the country, Tesla has been in talks with the government about establishing its own factory in an enterprise zone.

Tesla would still have to pay a 25% tariff on every car it sells, but it would avoid the JV challenge and be able to do things its own way at its own factory. The game plan is to start production in 2020.

As a manufacturer of all-electric cars, Tesla faces an uphill battle in the US. Almost all of the 17 million or so vehicles that will be sold in 2017 will run on gas. It could be decades before the balance shifts.

But in China, the government wants to lead the world in electric cars and will do what it takes to rapidly nurture a big EV industry. Tesla is in an ideal position to capitalize on China's policies.

Elon Musk hasn't lost his ability to rally the troops and inspire the world.

Sure, Musk habitually overpromises and underdelivers, but he doesn't have much to gain by perfectly living up to expectations. He shoots for the stars because that's the only way he knows how to roll.

We could complain that, as CEO, he shouldn't be camping out on the roof of the Gigafactory in Nevada while the Model 3 roadblocks are cleared, and he surely shouldn't be reprogramming robots on the factory floor. 

But his mojo reminds me of a story I once heard about Honda. 

Honda is known as an engineering-driven company. Honda also makes everything from lawn mowers to private jets. At an event some years back, an auto executive was showing off some mowers, snowblowers, motorcycles, and cars. An effort was made to fire up a mower, and it wouldn't start. So the exec took a look at the engine, made an adjustment, and boom! Started right up. Respect!

As Musk put in on a conference call after its most recent terrible earnings, he likes to "lead from the front." That would be an empty statement if he wasn't actually constitutionally inclined to get his hands dirty. I have a lot of respect for other major auto CEOs, but most of them aren't attaching dashboard in assembly plants.

Meanwhile, as Tesla struggles it's easy to forget that Musk is also launching rockets at an impressive pace at SpaceX and is digging a tunnel under Los Angeles to alleviate traffic. Some critics see his other companies and side projects as distractions, but to the public, they're inspiring.

More so when we consider that Musk isn't planning a mission to Mars to elevate his self-image. He genuinely believes humans have to go. My kids know I cover Tesla as a journalist, but they'll often, out of nowhere, just declare that Elon Musk is a genius. His reputation precedes him and his vision inspires, and in many ways, those are Tesla's most valuable assets.

We've all walked past those gorgeous multi-thousand dollar TVs at our local electronics store that make our own sets at home look old and dated.

The outrageous picture quality, all the acronyms like 4K, HDR, and OLED, the insanely thin borders around the screen. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have one of those super-pricey TVs in your home?

I asked LG for a review unit of its $4,000 65-inch E7 OLED TV so I could experience what it's like to own one of those eye-watering sets, and the company obliged. It didn't take long to appreciate the E7's giant 65-inch screen, its sharp 4K resolution, and the gorgeous, inky colors that only an OLED display can deliver. Poor me and my tech reviewer life.

But don't be too jealous. I had to return the glorious gadget to LG after just a month. And now that I've returned to my modest life as a mere mortal with a much smaller, cheaper, and less capable HD TV, I'm kind of in withdrawals. Indeed, poor me and my tech reviewer life.

A quick note: It's incredibly difficult to take good photos of a TV screen. The E7's screen looks better in real life than in any of the photos below. 

Check out LG's E7 OLED TV:

As far as TVs go, LG's E7 looks like an ultra high-end device.

It's absurdly thin.

The E7's hefty price tag is due largely to the fact that it uses an OLED screen.

OLED displays are the best in the business, and LG has been at the forefront of developing OLED TVs. Unfortunately, OLED displays, particularly those large enough for TVs, are still pricey to produce.

But that price comes with a big benefit. Unlike traditional liquid crystal display (LCD) screens, OLED screens can produce much truer and deeper black tones. Generally, the closer a screen can come to displaying pure black, the better images look on it. 

Each pixel in an OLED display is an individual light source. When showing black images, OLED screens just turn off the lights behind them, producing something very close to pure black. 

By contrast, the blacks produced by LCD TVs — commonly and confusingly referred to as LED TVs — are often closer to gray or charcoal than true black. That's because they create their images differently than OLED screens.

In LCD screens, light typically comes from LED bulbs placed along their edge or arrayed across their backs. To produce images, the screens pass that light through color filters. Generally, LCD's always have at least some of their back lights illuminated, even when trying to display dark scenes or black images. The liquid crystals can't fully block out that light, yielding blacks that are far from true.

Like most OLED TVs, the E7 produces near-perfect black tones.

Global consultancy firm Arcadis put together its first-ever Sustainable Cities Mobility Index so people can evaluate how their homes' public transit system compares to ones in other cities.

Arcadis evaluated three factors to create the ranking: people, profit, and planet. These factors allow the firm to analyze things like hours of operation, transportation coverage, reliability, efforts to lower emissions and congestion, and average time spent commuting.

Arcadis said North American cities rank low on the global index because so many cities are designed to support the personal vehicle over public transit. Despite their overall low score, some North American cities still reign supreme over others.

Scroll down to see Arcadis' ranking of public transit systems in North America:

FOLLOW US: on Facebook for more car and transportation content!

15. Seattle

Seattle earned high marks for its green energy initiatives and bike infrastructure. It didn't fare as well on the "profit" category, particularly when it came to public finance and the efficiency of its networks.

14. New Orleans

Arcadis says New Orleans clinched the 14th spot because of its efforts to revitalize public transit following Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans now has nine transit lines that offer 24 hours of service. The city also launched an online ride-share network called GeauxRide for people who live in areas that don't have easy access to public transit.

13. Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a surprising addition considering its known as a city for cars. The city consistently has the worst congestion of all the cities in the US.

Arcadis commended its projects like its Active Transportation Rail-to-River Corridor that will turn 1.9 miles of underutilized rail into a boulevard for bikers and pedestrians. LA also received higher marks because it has 1,300 charging stations for electric vehicles.

• Deep Springs College is a two-year school with only 12 to 15 students per class.
• Student attend for free, but must work 20 hours a week to pay their way.
• Students hold jobs on the farm and ranch, and cook, clean, and maintain vehicles.
  

Deep Springs College is a tiny 30-person-or-less school located in the desert of eastern California.

But the size isn't the only factor that sets Deep Springs apart. It is currently all male, tuition free, and located on a cattle ranch and alfalfa farm where students work to pay their way through. 

"The desert has a deep personality; it has a voice. Great leaders in all ages have sought the desert and heard its voice," the school's founder L.L. Nunn said in 1923. 

Men — and in 2018 for first time since its 1917 founding, women — who want to experience college in the high desert of California flock to the college for two years.

Read on below to see what it's like to attend Deep Springs College.

The college is located on a 155-acre ranch in eastern California, and is the only habitation in the Deep Springs Valley.

The physical isolation and natural beauty of Deep Spring's location are integral parts of the educational program, according to the school's website.

The school was founded in 1917 by L.L. Nunn, and entrepreneur and philanthropist.

Americans adore pizza.

According to a 2014 study by the US Department of Agriculture, about one in eight Americans eat pizza on any given day. That's a lot of pizza.

Acolytes of the Pizza Big Three are steadfast in their preferences: Domino's, Pizza Hut, and Papa John's.

And as discussion of NFL national anthem protests impacting pizza sales drags the Big Three into the fray, the humble pizza slice has never been more politicized.

But the question is, from which chain to order?

We decided to take the matter into our own hands and test the Big Three pizzas head-to-head to see, hands down, who has the best pizza.

Who is crowned the classic-cheese champion, and who snags the supreme-pizza prize? Keep scrolling to see the results.

Our test has three categories: the classic cheese pizza, the supreme pizza, and breadsticks — the pizza palace essentials.

First, the cheese pizza choices — still hot and cheesy.

The smell of mozzarella and tomato fills the room. No matter how disappointing, all pizza is still good, so this will prove tricky. Are any pizzas truly bad?

• The Wing is a female-only co-working space and club with two locations in New York City.
• Their newest location, which is in SoHo, provides its members with desks, a beauty room, space to nap, meeting rooms, a library, and a cafe.
•  8,000 women are on the waiting list for membership to The Wing.

When The Wing, a co-working space and social club for women, launched in October 2016, its founders, Audrey Gelman and Lauren Kassan, didn't realize how large the demand for membership would be — or exactly the type of comfort it would provide its members.

In the months before the 2016 presidential election, Gelman, who has past experience working in politics, said she believed Hillary Clinton would win.

"This was [going to be] the golden age of women in power, so women could have rooms like this," she told Business Insider, gesturing around The Wing.

"It was sort of a triumphant concept." 

"Obviously that's not what happened," Kassan said. Overnight, after President Donald Trump's victory, The Wing was inundated with calls from members and people on the waitlist, who, according to Kassan, were saying, "I didn't realize how much I wanted or needed a space like this."

Now, the club has 1,500 members and an 8,000-person waiting list for its two open locations. It also plans to launch two more spaces: one in Brooklyn and one in Washington, DC. 

With a focus on growing a community between its members, the club provides more than a place to set up your laptop. Speaking events, community volunteer opportunities, movie screenings, and happy hours provide a home base for its members to build relationships.

We got a tour of the new SoHo space on its opening day — and it was already buzzing with members.

Gelman realized she needed a space like The Wing while working a job that had her on the go on a daily basis. Instead of changing outfits for events and meetings in "random bathrooms around the city," Gelman envisioned a space designed with her needs in mind.

The Wing's spacious bathrooms, showers, lockers, and beauty room — pictured here — provide women with a safe space to prep and primp for their day.

Kassan, who is the COO, saw an opportunity to create a community. "For me it's really about the community that can come out of this space. The original idea of having a space of convenience — but also creating a space that you can meet new women in," she said.

The US Air Force conducted an exercise near the Korean Peninsula on Thursday involving two B-1B bombers and Japanese and South Korean fighter jets.

"The bilateral continuous bomber presence (CBP) mission was planned in advance ... and was not in response to any current event," the Air Force said in a statement.

North Korea called it a "surprise" strike drill — and they might not be incorrect.

The Pentagon has actually devised a plan to take out the North's missile sites just in case President Donald Trump ever orders the preemptive strike, and the B-1B Lancers would a play a key role.

Here's what we know about the plan and about what the Lancer can do.

The B-1B Lancer, which was first used in combat in 1998, was heavily used in Operation Iraqi Freedom during the Iraq War, dropping nearly 40% of all the coalition's munitions.

The Lancer, which is made by Boeing — one of the largest defense contractors and political donors in the US — will continue to be the backbone of the US strategic bomber force until about 2040.

Its four General Electric F101-GE-102 turbofan engines each provide the Lancer with more than 30,000 pounds of thrust.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen

Combined net worth: $540 million

Both halves of this tanned and toned power couple, who have been married for eight years, are in the top earners of their respective industries. Supermodel Gisele Bündchen is the highest-paid model in the world, raking in $30.5 million in 2016, and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is the third-highest paid player in NFL history. His endorsement deals earn him about $8 million annually.

Perhaps the most telling example of their wide-ranging influence is the viral news of their insane diet, which is composed of 80% vegetables and 20% lean meats.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner

Combined net worth: Between $207 million and $762 million

The eldest daughter of President Donald Trump and unpaid adviser in the White House, Ivanka Trump just celebrated her eighth wedding anniversary with husband Jared Kushner, a senior adviser to the president and owner of a real-estate empire.

Their estimated net worth was revealed earlier this year in public filings that document the couple's assets, including a $25 million art collection, and income from the Ivanka Trump lifestyle brand and various investments.

Kushner suggests the couple, who are parents to three children, have their roles figured out: "I would say she is definitely the CEO of our household, whereas I’m more on the board of directors."

Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Combined net worth: $1.16 billion

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are entertainment royalty. The couple — who has been married since 2008 and have three children — earn their wealth primarily from music producing credits, album sales, live performances, and worldwide tours, as well as stakes in streaming service Tidal, a private jet company, and a luxury champagne brand.

This summer, they bought an $88 million mansion in Los Angeles — for which they took out a $59 million mortgage — making it the sixth priciest home purchase in LA history. Not bad for the highest-paid celebrity couple in the world.
