☆ I grew up in Milwaukee, but I discovered the beauty of this hidden-gem hiking trail for the first time as an adult

Seven Bridges Trail is a 2-mile loop in Grant Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While visiting my hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a family friend recommended I take some time to hike Seven Bridges Trail. I grew up in the area and have visited many of its parks and hiking areas, but I'd never heard of that one. Upon further research, I found that Seven Bridges Trail is located in South Milwaukee's Grant Park, a 381-acre oasis with 2 miles of shoreline along Lake Michigan, according to Milwaukee County Parks. My dad also grew up in Wisconsin and has ridden his bike through Grant Park dozens of times, but even he had never heard of Seven Bridges Trail.

Most famously, President Jimmy Carter brokered the Camp David accords in 1978 between Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. The first foreign leader to visit Camp David, then known as "Shangri-La," was British Prime Minister Winston Churchill who was there for World War Two talks with Roosevelt. Eisenhower, who named Camp David for his father and grandson, would grill steaks for family and friends. One time George W. Bush hosted Russian leader Vladimir Putin at Camp David and introduced Putin to his Scottish terrier, Barney. The seemingly mundane at Camp David can sometimes erupt into major headlines, like the time President George H.W.

Camp David has been a destination for presidential rest and relaxation since it opened. Camp David has been the site of some big national and foreign policy decisions. FDR originally named the property "Shangri-La," a name it kept until the Eisenhower administration, who named it Camp David after his grandson. It has also been the site of diplomatic events like the Camp David Accords in 1978 and the G8 summit in 2012. Here's a look inside Camp David, where presidents go to escape Washington.

☆ A 1930s eugenics experiment is the reason women's clothing sizes are so damn frustrating

A 1930s eugenics experiment is the reason women's clothing sizes are inconsistent, as per Radke. In an email to Insider, Radke said the discovery about women's clothing sizes was one of the biggest surprises to her when researching "Butts, a Backstory." Andrew SemansThe life-sized plaster casts made by Dickinson and Belskie were dubbed Normman and Norma and helped create standardized clothing sizes. During the 1950s, standardized clothing sizes were adopted by clothing brands. "It's just too expensive for garment manufacturers to make enough clothing sizes to accommodate the wide variation of human bodies.
☆ The GOP's American psychosis didn't start with Trump. It won't end with him, either.

This piece has been adapted from "American Psychosis: A Historical Investigation of How the Republican Party Went Crazy,” by David Corn. Some reporters feared Goldwater supporters were about to storm the stage and physically attack the governor. The Republican Party — those then in control of it — thought otherwise. They were guided by what Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway once called “alternative facts.” For many of the Capitol Hill assailants, Trump and his paranoia had become a theology. Excerpted from "American Psychosis: A Historical Investigation of How the Republican Party Went Crazy."
