Two New Museums for Tintin and Magritte

It's an old parlor game: can you name 10 famous Belgians? Belgium may be a tiny nation, and often the butt of its neighbors' jokes, but it can claim two 20th century artistic giants who would make it onto that list: Hergé — or at least his globetrotting comic-strip character Tintin — and René Magritte, the subversive surrealist painter. Both created iconic images that are recognizable the world over. And since June 2, both of them, finally, have museums of their own in their native country, dedicated to their respective contributions to the evolution of 20th century art.

UGMA vs. UTMA vs. 529: Key Differences

A 529 plan or a custodial account, such as an UTMA or UGMA account, are excellent ways to save money for college expenses for a minor beneficiary.

When Love and the Algorithm Dont Mix

When I met my husband, who happens to be white, he told me that he was always seeing women with blonde hair on Tinder and he’s not really into blondes. No matter how many times he had swiped left on blondes, the algorithms were always recommending them to him, presumably because pop culture dictates that white men prefer blondes.
