For Those Considering Blaxit, I Present to You: Budapest
By Jennifer Neal
I’ll be completely honest: When it comes to hypothetical homes for African Americans who are considering a post-Trump “blaxodus,” Eastern Europe was way off my radar. Like many former Soviet-bloc states, Hungary is a place that grapples with unemployment and poverty while its leaders hoard taxpayer funds to line their own pockets.
~~~~~~~~~~
But I’m ready to admit something else: Budapest surprised me. Centuries of expanding and contracting border lines, nomadic ethnic groups like the Roma and 150 years of Turkish occupation have turned Budapest into a unique archetype relative to the rest of the region. This is reflected in the architecture, the music and, unlike Germany—a country where emulsified pork fat spread on toast is considered a delicacy—the food, which is slap-somebody good.

The Legend of Reebok’s ‘Dan and Dave’ ad campaign, as told by Dan and Dave
By Rick Maese
Twenty-five years ago, the advertising campaign was ubiquitous. By Summer 1992, it would be infamous – one of the biggest sports’ marketing campaigns to date, featuring two relatively unknown track and field athletes who became household names almost overnight. Dan O’Brien and Dave Johnson were American decathletes on a crash-course to compete against each other for Olympic gold at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Reebok pumped $30 million into the “Dan & Dave” campaign and invited the nation to choose sides.
Twenty-five years later, Johnson and O’Brien spent time remembering that summer that turned them into unlikely celebrities.

From Scientific American?
Why Are so Many Babies Born around 8:00 A.M.?
Data visualization engineer Zan Armstrong takes a close look at human birth patterns.
By Zan Armstrong
How a baby is born affects when a baby is born
In the U.S., 32 percent of births are C-section surgeries, another 18 percent are the result of induced labors and 50 percent are “natural” (vaginal deliveries without induction). If we break down the data by the method of delivery, we see a distinct rhythm for each type of delivery method. Together, these three intersecting patterns create the overall minute-per-day pattern we see: fewer births at night, a huge spike in the morning and a broader afternoon bump.
For the 50 percent of babies born without intervention, we see a night/day pattern. Roughly 20 to 30 percent more babies are born per minute between 6:45 A.M. and 6 P.M. than during the night.
