"I think we need to think about bringing empathy into our every day lives in a very sort of habitual way. Socrates said that the way we live a wise and good life was to know thyself. And we've generally thought of that as being about being self-reflective, looking in at ourselves. It's been about introspection. But I think, in the 21st century, we need to recognize that to know thyself is something that can also be achieved by stepping outside yourself, by discovering other people's lives. And I think empathy is the way to revolutionize our own philosophies of life, to become more outrospective and to create the revolution of human relationships that I think we so desperately need."
In this RSA Animate video, philosopher Roman Krznaric urges us to rethink…* our definition of "knowing thyself" by shifting our frame of reference from the 20th century notion of introspection to one of outrospection: "the idea of discovering who you are and what do to with your life by stepping outside yourself, discovering the lives of other people, other civilizations." Krznaric identifies cognitive empathy–perspective taking, which is about understanding somebody else's worldview, their beliefs, their fears, the experiences that shape how they look at the world and how they look at themselves–as the great art form of outrospection and the catalyst for revolutions of human relationships. The video walks you through the concept of outrospection while providing ideas on how to develop your own empathic capacity (hint: nurture your curiosity!) and how to live one's life as a great empathic adventurer. The video is a mere ten minutes long and worth every second, but in case you don't have time to view it just yet, I've transcribed my favorite quotes from it, which should give you a good general idea of what outrsopection is and how it can help us rethink…* and enhace our lives and relationships.
theRSAorg on YouTube, published December 3, 2012
Instead of the age of introspection, we need to shift to the age of outrospection. And by outrospection I mean the idea of discovering who you are and what do to with your life by stepping outside yourself, discovering the lives of other people, other civilizations. And the ultimate art form for the age of outrospection is empathy.
[…] empathy can be part of the art of living; a philosophy of life. Empathy isn't just something that expands your moral universe, empathy is something that can make you a more creative thinker, improve your relationships, can create the human bonds that make life worth living. But more than that, empathy is also about social change, radical social change.
A lot of people think of empathy as a sort of nice, soft, fluffy concept. I think it's anything but that. I think it's actually quite dangerous because empathy can create revolution. Not one of those old-fashioned revolutions of new states, policy, governments, laws, but something much more viral and dangerous, which is a revolution of human relationships.
Cognitive empathy, which is about perspective taking, about stepping into somebody else's world—almost like an actor looking through the eyes of their character. It's about understanding somebody else's worldview, their beliefs, their fears, the experiences that shape how they look at the world and how they look at themselves.
We make assumptions about people; we have prejudices about people, which block us from seeing their uniqueness, their individuality. We use labels and highly empathic people get beyond that, or get beyond those labels, by nurturing their curiosity about others.
Highly empathic people tend to be very sensitive listeners; they're very good at understanding what somebody else's need are. They tend to also be people who, in conversation, share parts of their own lives, make conversations two-way dialogues, make themselves vulnerable.
Now, we normally think of empathy as something that happens between individuals. But I also believe it can be a collective force, it can happen on a mass scale. When I think of history, I think not of the rise and fall of civilizations and religions or political systems; I think of the rise and fall of empathy: moments of mass empathic flowering and also, of course, of empathic collapse.
I think we need new social institutions, we need, for example, empathy museums—a place, which is not about dusty exhibits, not like and old Victorian museum, but an experiential and conversational public space where you might walk in and in the first room there is a human library, where you can borrow people for conversations. You walk into the next room and there are twenty sewing machines and there are former Vietnamese sweatshop workers there who will teach you how to make a T-shirt, like the one you're probably wearing, under sweatshop labor conditions and you'll be paid five pence at the end of it so you understand the labor behind the label. You may well go into the café and scan in your food and discover the working conditions of those who picked the coffee beans in the drink that you're drinking. You may see a video of them talking about their lives, trying to make a connection across time and space into realms that you don't know about.

The Friday Morning Listen: Nat Baldwin – In The Hollows (2014)
Time for the Thing In The Spring, four days of music, readings, art, and general hijinx on the street.
Time for the Thing In The Spring, four days of music, readings, art, and general hijinx on the street.
This past week, I spent perhaps too much time reading (and re-reading) a couple of bits on the Internet. The first was a series written by Questlove, entitled When the People Cheer: How Hip-Hop Failed Black America. The other was an only tangentially-related article published way back in 2003 called Why Americans Don't Like Jazz.
I still don't really know the entire story, and maybe its better that I don't.
As reported a few months back, tickets for a block of Bruce Springsteen shows went on sale on February 14th.
The problem with the wide range and ubiquity of our networks is that we're aware so much of society's goings on…maybe too much.
So we were standing around the Something Else! water cooler the other day, getting a lot of laughs from an absolutely ridiculous article we'd read about guitar players.
So a couple of weeks ago, we were talking about Neil Young's new Pono music system.
What with the rumors flying earlier this week about the health of AC/DC's Malcolm Young, I was pretty sure I'd be writing an obit/appreciation piece by now.
Let's talk about the Pono. You've never heard of it? Well, you're not alone, though if audio (and its quality) really aren't your thing, then you really can't be blamed.
I don't often read things about film (mostly because I never watch movies), but there's this terrific little spat going on between film critics over at New Yorker. Richard Brody claims that you only need five minutes — any five minutes — to determine if a film has resonance.

WNA Land Use Committee Meeting
Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 7PM
Basement of the Woodstock Community Center
All Woodstock residents welcome!
- 7:00–7:20 — Marc Gaudin of The Joinery will present a master plan for extending the whole of The Joinery building out to SE Woodstock Blvd. This will necessitate applying for a zoning change from residential to commercial for one of the houses behind The Joinery on SE 49th (across from the library parking lot), in order to replace some of the parking in front of the current Joinery building.
Marc will also discuss his pending acquisition of the former Lents Education Building (on Woodstock Blvd across from the library) and plans for it to be transformed into a Healthy Foods Convenience Store—the first of a series of such stores being planned by Lisa Sedler, former CEO of New Seasons.
- 7:20–7:50 — Neil Fernando, an engineer with Emerio Design, will provide information and answer questions about the proposed new subdivision on the block between SE Cesar Chavez and SE 40th Ave, SE Woodstock Blvd and SE Martinswill. Three of the historic homes on the property will remain, and one will be torn down. The plan also preserves two large copper beech trees, however there are a number of trees slated for removal. The builder/developer for the subdivision will Everett Homes, and they were unable to send a representative to this meeting, however Fernando will bring photographs showing the type of work done by Everett Homes, and you can also visit their website for examples (everetthomesnw.com). We have posted a copy of the PDF application notice for this proposed subdivision on the Sustainable Woodstock website: download by clicking here.
- 7:50–close — Brief summary of status and next steps in the Comprehensive Plan Process, as relayed through Matt Wickstrom, plus a quick report on a meeting on possible residential/commercial rezoning with Matt Wickstrom and Tyler Bump, Angie Even and Gene Dieringer.

Leading Together
Leading Together is a collection of practical advice from experienced leaders in international disaster and conflict response. It is a call to reflect and invest time in ensuring that we are prepared to respond when it falls upon us to do so; because, it will be too late to develop the skills, the knowledge and the understanding, when they are needed in the field.
Civil-Military-Police interaction – an introduction
Civil-Military-Police interaction is the key to improving international response efforts to overseas disasters and conflicts. How do we do this better? Who helps support the development of civil-military capabilities?
The ACMC is a global leader in facilitating cross-agency, civil society and international engagement to support qualitative improvements in Australia's contributions to humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and peace and stabilisation activities overseas. This brief video sheds light on why the work of the ACMC is so important.
Mandated to Protect – Protection of Civilians in Peacekeeping Operations
But what exactly is meant by "protection of civilians"? How are peacekeepers meant to protect? What are the responsibilities of heads of mission and force commanders? How are we to counter crimes against women and children who have become weapons of war?
These and other questions are addressed in this program which features contributions from United Nations personnel, military, police and civilian peacekeepers, as well as representatives from international non-governmental organisations around the world with vast experience in the Protection of Civilians in the context of peacekeeping operations.
Side by Side
Jointly developed by the Australian Government's Australian Civil-Military Centre and UN Women, "Side by Side – Women, Peace and Security" explores how the international community has and can meet its commitments on women, peace and security. The 30-minute documentary features an introduction by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, as well as interviews with United Nations personnel, peacekeepers, mediators, humanitarian actors, policy makers and survivors of conflict.

Prosecutors want dismissed Haditha case reinstated
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Prosecutors will ask a military appeals court to reinstate the case against the top-ranking U.S. Marine charged in the 2005 death of 24 Iraqi civilians at Haditha, a Marine spokesman said on Thursday.
A military judge dismissed all charges against Col. Jeffrey Chessani on Tuesday, ruling that a four-star general who oversaw the case was improperly influenced by an investigator.
Israeli Ministers Mull Plans for Military Strike against Iran
The Israeli government no longer believes that sanctions can prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons. A broad consensus in favor of a military strike against Tehran's nuclear facilities -- without the Americans, if necessary -- is beginning to take shape.
Top Iraqi cleric warns of uprising
BAGHDAD, June 9 (UPI) -- A leading Iraqi Shiite cleric said Monday the status of forces agreement between Washington and Baghdad could lead to an uprising in Iraq.
"It is not to the benefit of the U.S. as a major power to lessen the sovereignty of Iraq. This treaty is humiliating to the Iraqi people, and might cause an uprising against it and those who support it," Grand Ayatollah Mohammad al-Modarresi told the Iranian state-run English-language service, Press TV.
British military: 3 soldiers slain in Afghanistan
LONDON - Britain's military says three soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan. The soldiers were killed by a suicide bomber while on foot patrol less than a mile from their base in Afghanistan's Upper Sangin Valley.
A fourth soldier was wounded in the attack Sunday.
TVNL Comment: Thank goodness that Laura Bush is in Afghanistan today to remind us all of the great "progress" in that forgotten war.
Iraq lawmakers want U.S. forces out as part of deal
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A majority of the Iraqi parliament has written to Congress rejecting a long-term security deal with Washington if it is not linked to a requirement that U.S. forces leave, a U.S. lawmaker said on Wednesday.
Rep. William Delahunt, a Massachusetts Democrat and Iraq war opponent, released excerpts from a letter he was handed by Iraqi parliamentarians laying down conditions for the security pact that the Bush administration seeks with Iraq.
Revealed: Secret plan to keep Iraq under US control
The terms of the impending deal, details of which have been leaked to The Independent, are likely to have an explosive political effect in Iraq. Iraqi officials fear that the accord, under which US troops would occupy permanent bases, conduct military operations, arrest Iraqis and enjoy immunity from Iraqi law, will destabilise Iraq's position in the Middle East and lay the basis for unending conflict in their country.

I would rate this 3.5 lippies if I could. its not so bad that it deserves 3 but not so good that it deserves a 4. I originally went to Missha wanting to buy this but because of the limited shade selection (only 2 wtf), ended up with the Missha perfect cover and 2 samples of this. The Missha perfect cover #23 is the most perfect match for my skin I've ever found. However, the Missha perfect cover doesn't give much coverage and doesn't give the "glow" that I'm looking for from bb creams, so I was hoping this would.
Colour: The colour in this is bad for tan people. I'm tan with yellow undertones (Asian). I tried this on its own first, hoping the colour would oxidize. It oxidized a very little bit only so I had to use a darker powder foundation to cover it up. The powder foundation looked cakey and you could still see patches of grey under certain light, not a good look. The next day, I mixed this with my Missha perfect cover and the consistency became very thick. The colour was still greyish but a little better than the day before. I waited hopefully for it to oxidize and it did oxidize a little but again, not enough to look like my skin but better. I used loose powder to cover it up and it looked fine but cakey again.
Consistency: The consistency of this is pretty thick, thicker than the perfect cover. As such, it doesn't look as natural. The sales assistant at Missha advised me against getting this because she said it is supposed to be more moisturizing than the perfect cover and is supposed to "stick" to your skin more, hence the thick consistency. She is right. It doesn't feel heavy on my skin but because of the thick consistency, it doesn't look very natural.
Finish: The finish did not give me the glow that I was hoping for nor did it look dewy. It just looked and felt sticky. Also, I felt that it emphasized the little bumps on my face and I noticed many bumps I had never noticed before.
Good for skin: I only used this twice over 2 days. I felt that my skin had a little glow after I removed this the first day.
Overall, the only way I can think of for tan people to use this is if you mix a little (only a little! think grey tint!) of this with a darker foundation. Unfortunately I'd only go to that trouble if it gave me a good glow but it doesn't and actually emphasizes the little bumps on my face. I'm going to stick with my etude house bb cream which, when mixed with a darker coloured foundation, gives me a great glow.

I bought this when I was in Harajuku, Japan and was searching for a good BB cream. I went to a random store and asked for one and she suggested this. I didn't use it very much even after I bought it because I'd rather use foundations rather than BB cream (although BB creams are obviously better for your skin). I recently saw reviews raving about how good this BB cream is and decided to give it another go and this time, really pay attention as to how it differs from my typical foundation. Firstly, coverage wise, BRILLIANT. I didn't need concealer and there's very minimal crease under the eyes after you have it for some time. Most foundations leave that steak under the eyes (ugh). Secondly, the texture is smooth and it's so easy to apply. It really glides like a dream and I love that! Thirdly, it really feels light on the skin, and it doesn't feel heavy. It also leaves a dewy finish and looks really natural. However, you do have to apply moisturiser before you apply this BB cream if you want it to look as good. And I tend to find that my skin looks super oily after a while, but it's alright because I can just mattify my face for that. The coverage still stays even after touch ups. The price, for ¥2500/$25, it's a little pricey but you do get your money's worth for this. Overall, definitely one of the best BB creams out there, and definitely repurchasing this! <3

I have combination skin with oily T-zone and acne spots on my chin. I love the Revlon Color Stay foundation, both liquid and creme, but they can be feel quite heavy on my sensitive skin. And since my relatives still live in Korea, I asked my mom to buy one extra for me.
Unlike the cheap, second-rate BB creams that North America has come up with (sorry guys) true Korean BB creams have a grey tint and a very dewy finish when applied. The texture is also very thick; you can put some on the back of your hand and flip it over to see it not drip at all. It's not at all your drugstore tinted moisture like Maybelline Dream Fresh or the Garnier Renew.
By comparison, I've found out that Smashbox has done a decent job at recreating BB cremes the way they should be. Smashbox Photoready has SPF, medium coverage, and the thick formula pat-down, just not the beneficial parts.
BB is short for blemish balm, originally created for those with facial scarring or severe acne problems. BB cremes are supposed to moisturize, rejuvenate, and cover up all your imperfections while looking just like your skin. Well, this is the only BB creme I've bought that does all three and more.
It feels very smooth and dewy on my skin, and does not look like an oil spill on my nose. I still powder my T-zone so I don't look like a light bulb. Very moisturizing under my eyes as well.
So if you can get this, get it! The only problem is the limited shade selection. Natural Beige matches me only in the dead of winter. Other times, I have to play mix and hopefully match.

I LOVE THIS. My skin is kinda dry, so it's been difficult finding a BB cream that wont dry me out further. This one does the job! Keeps my skin somewhat moisturised, and evens out my skin tone pretty well! Was really impressed when I first got it from Korea for around USD$20.

Got it as a present from Korea (No.23 Natural yellow Beige), which isn't that yellow it sounds. It is a very neutral beige. This kind of neutral which is very hard to find- not to reddish or yellow like mac foundations. It fits my skincolor perfectly. I have medium light skin with beige undertones. You need just a tiny bit of the product to get a flawless finish. Besides this it didn't cause breakouts and skin feels very healthy.
I didn't expect much but what a surprise. Days I wear this BB cream I have to show my ID card to proof that I'm over 16 but I'm in my thirties now. wearing this I get many compliments looking fresh and good. Mere chance or a miracle? It seems like this beautiful package contains the secret of perfect asian skin ;)

Like many of the other reviewers, I bought mine off of eBay from Korea. I love that they offer this in a light shade (#13) for people with pale skin. It feels light on your face (kind of like a tinted moisturizer) and provides medium coverage. My skin looks dewy after I put this on, it's great. :)
The main drawback is that this stuff is expensive and not easy to come by, meaning that you can't just go to Target and buy it. Unless you live in a big city, you're gonna have to buy it online from MisshaUS.com for $46 or buy it off of eBay. It's considerably cheaper on eBay, but it also takes a lot longer to show up because of international customs and whatnot. Mine took about a month to ship from Korea.
But if that doesn't bother you, then you should definitely check it out. I plan on buying a bigger bottle when this one gets low.

I just bought this BB cream is little time. When spread on the surface it is very light and airy feeling skin.
Color is the color I bought some 23 per ton at the very same with my skin color. However, because this BB cream contain less oil, and thus had a 1-2 h after the skin more dull.
Generally I quite like this type of BB, and maybe next time I will buy the 21 colors to mix two colors will produce a standard color with your skin.
On the cover of this BB, I do not appreciate it for people who have probably won quite beautiful skin.
With my skin is mixed, many oil and acne, it really is not ideal for coverage.

I use this BB cream to cover my acne/ cyst blemishes. It provide medium to full coverage. Although market for dry skin, which was why I bought it, you would need a good moisturizer underneath. I have normal to slightly dry skin (which is probably normal in the summer though). Yet when I use this BB cream, it feel a bit powdery and cling to dry patches. This was use on top of the oily Garnier bb cream. It work best on me when i have both the garnier bb cream and neutrogena oil-free moisturizer on the bottom. Then it look natural. Mind you i use it as spot-treatment only, not all over the face. But with the growing acne/cyst colony taken habitat on my cheek right now, "spot" is a limited description.
I am nc15-nc20, more so nc20 in the summer. No. 23 perfectly matched my skin when it first goes on, but oxidize a tad darker. It is more grey-olive undertone than peach-pink undertone. Good for people who don't want to look whiter than they are in the summer.
Can be a good bb cream but is temperamental (meaning need a bit more work). In my humble opinion, a heavy coverage bb cream is better than a concealer at concealing blemishes, just because it blend it better, and it oxidizes to match your skin. So i feel less "oops i have a pimple and i need to cover it" feel when i wear this. just my 2 cents.

Very good bb cream. It is easily blended with fingers, comes packaged in a gorgeous hard plastic case with a pump, and is suitable for my sensitive skin ( paraben, mineral oil, alcohol, GMO, Triclosan and Benzophenone- free). It lasts for 7+ hours for me, and has only a very slight scent, which I happen to like, but it fades soon after application. Light to medium coverage with a natural finish. It also has spf25 PA ++
Only a few downfalls: small colour selection ( shade 23 is a little pink for my quite yellow skin, and takes a very long time to adjust to my skin tone a little) can cling to dry patches, and pricey (~$37 AUD for 45g instore) but I believe you can buy this online for much much cheaper. In all, a very good bb cream, but won't be repurchasing because it doesn't really match my skin.
EDIT: shade 23 matches my winter skin quite well- not perfectly, but with the light coverage I opt for it's quite good. Changed repurchasing status because after trying out other bb creams I've realised how much I love the light, blendable texture of this one.

Ticketmaster Inc. is expected to be spun off from IAC/InterActiveCorp by late July or early August and will borrow $750 million to pay a dividend to its former parent, IAC Chief Financial Officer Tom McInerney said Monday.
The Los Angeles-based company, the world's largest processor of tickets for concerts and sporting events, said during a conference call with analysts that after the spinoff it would have net debt of about two times its annual profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
The $750 million represents new borrowing, not an allocation of New York-based IAC's $1.44 billion of long-term debt, IAC spokeswoman Leslie Cafferty said in an interview. HSN Inc. and Interval Leisure Group will also pay dividends to IAC as they are split off, McInerney added.
"We haven't disclosed how we plan to invest that or allocate it within IAC," Cafferty said.
IAC, the Internet company controlled by Barry Diller, will retain its Ask.com search engine and Match.com dating service, among other businesses, once Ticketmaster, HSN, Interval Leisure and the LendingTree mortgage-referral service become independent companies.

How do you cope with a whopping $90 billion foreign debt? The question gnaws at Brazil - and its creditors. Many creditors think Brazil will have to go further into debt simply to pay off interest on the debt.
Moreover, Brazil, whose debt is larger than any country in the developing world, is already $2 billion behind in payments this year.
Just this week, it temporarily suspended some payments on $8 billion of debt to 14 Western creditors. International lenders, including United States bankers, are beginning to lose confidence in Brazil's ability to bail itself out.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), however, tentatively approved a loan and credit agreement this month that will permit Brazil to bridge over its debt crunch at least to the end of the year.
The IMF stamp of approval, giving Brazil the opportunity to seek additional loans and to help stimulate its economy, is significant, as was a US Export-Import Bank $2 billion loan guarantee to Brazil.
But there are doubts in international lending circles that these steps will be enough to lift Brazil out of its dilemma.
The issue prompts an increasing number of Brazilians to wonder whether a moratorium on debt repayment might be the best solution.
A moratorium would prevent Brazil from going into default on some of the loans, but it could cast Brazil something of a pariah in lending circles. After all, banks survive on interest payments. Already many US banks are worried that they could be in serious trouble if Brazil were to default or to declare a moratorium.
Yet the moratorium concept is winning support among Brazilians from virtually every political faction in the country - from Marxists to conservative businessmen. It also appears to have the support of Vice-President Aureliano Chavez, whose political role has become increasingly important as he fills in for ailing President Joao Baptista de Oliveira Figueiredo.
But General Figueiredo is scheduled to return to office at the end of the month - and he opposes a moratorium. So also do his top financial advisers, Planning Minister Antonio Delfim Netto and Treasury Minister Ernane Galveas.
As Brazil enters its fourth year of recession, however, both Mr. Delfim and Mr. Galveas are under increasing public attack for failing to solve Brazil's economic troubles. Many Brazilians tend to support just about anything they oppose. Underlying this carping is a national preoccupation with the debt issue. It is on everyone's tongue, and it is the major issue in Brazilian newspapers.
Much of the story has centered on Brazil's efforts to negotiate the IMF loan. These talks have been long and difficult. But the tentative agreement, approved this month, is not likely to win full IMF approval before mid-October. Brazil may have a tough time getting through until then.
Moreover, to get the IMF bailout, Brazil has agreed to cut public spending by several billion dollars, to limit wage increases under the ''indexing'' system to only 80 percent of the cost of living, and to begin an all-out effort to reduce inflation by 5 percent a month. The inflation rate now is about 11 percent a month.
In the final analysis, however, Brazil probably is a good credit risk. Its economy is essentially vibrant, despite the debt, and its potential is regarded as even stronger. It is in a rapid industrialization and has a limited, but real social mobility. The debt is widely viewed as a short-run problem. Many, however , wonder just how short-run.

Ivanka Trump
Age: 36
Ivana Marie "Ivanka" Trump (/ɪˈvɑːnkə/; born October 30, 1981) is an American businesswoman, fashion designer, author and reality television personality. She is the daughter of the President of the United States, Donald Trump and former model Ivana Trump. Ivanka is her father's senior advisor and is also the first Jewish member of a First Family, having converted after marrying her husband, Jared Kushner.
Trump is a fourth generation businessperson who followed in the footsteps of her great-grandmother Elizabeth Christ Trump (who founded the company), grandfather Fred Trump, and father Donald Trump. Ivanka was an executive vice president of the family-owned The Trump Organization. She was also a boardroom judge on her father's TV show The Apprentice. She moved to Washington, D.C. in January 2017 after her husband was appointed Senior Advisor to the President.
Starting in March 2017, she began serving in her father's presidential administration. She assumed this official, unpaid position after ethics concerns were raised about her having access to classified material while not being held to the same restrictions as a federal employee. She was considered part of the president's inner circle even before becoming an official employee in his administration.
Early life
Ivana Marie Trump was born in Manhattan, New York City, and is the second child of Czech-American model Ivana (née Zelníčková) and Donald Trump, who in 2017 became the 45th President of the United States. Her father has German and Scottish ancestry and her mother has Czech and Austrian ancestry. For most of her life, she has been nicknamed "Ivanka," a diminutive form of Ivana. Trump's parents divorced in 1992, when she was ten years old. She has two brothers, Donald Jr. and Eric, a half-sister, Tiffany, and a half-brother, Barron.
Trump attended the Chapin School in Manhattan until she was 15, when she transferred to Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut. She characterized Choate's "boarding-school life" as being like a "prison", while her "friends in New York were having fun".
After graduating from Choate, she attended Georgetown University for two years, then transferred to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, from which she graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in economics in 2004. Ivanka's transfer to Wharton after two years at another institution mimicked the actions of her father, who also transferred to Wharton after two years at different institution.
Trump briefly worked for Forest City Enterprises. In 2005, she joined the family business as Executive Vice-President of Development & Acquisitions at The Trump Organization.
In 2007, she formed a partnership with a diamond vendor, Dynamic Diamond Corp., to create Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry, a line of diamond and gold jewelry, sold at her first flagship retail store in Manhattan. In November 2011, her retail flagship moved from Madison Avenue to 109 Mercer Street, a larger space in the fashionable Soho district.
In December 2012, members of 100 Women in Hedge Funds elected Ivanka Trump to their board.
On October 2, 2015, it was reported that "Ivanka Trump's flagship store on Mercer Street appear to be closed" and, noting that the shop had been "stripped clean". In October 2016, the only dedicated retail shop and flagship boutique for Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry is located at Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York City, with her brand also being available at Hudson's Bay and fine-jewelry stores throughout the U.S. and Canada, as well as in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
She also has her own line of Ivanka Trump fashion items, including clothes, handbags, shoes, and accessories, which is available in major U.S. and Canadian department stores, including, Macy's and Hudson's Bay. Her brand was criticized for allegedly copying designs by other designers, and by PETA and other animal rights activists for using fur from rabbits. In 2016, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled "Ivanka Trump"-branded scarves because they did not meet federal flammability standards. A 2016 analysis found that most of the fashion line was produced outside the U.S.
As of February 2017, department store chains Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom dropped Trump's fashion line, citing "poor performance."
On February 9, 2017, Presidential Advisor Kellyanne Conway controversially encouraged Fox News viewers to purchase Trump's retail products. In June 2017, three people with the organization called China Labor Watch were arrested by Chinese authorities while investigating Huajian International, which makes shoes for several American brands, including the Ivanka Trump brand. The Trump Administration has called for their release.
When Trump was attending boarding school as a teenager, she got into modeling "on weekends and holidays and absolutely not during the school year," according to her mother, Ivana Trump. She was featured in print advertisements for Tommy Hilfiger and Sasson Jeans, and walked fashion runways for Versace, Marc Bouwer and Thierry Mugler. In May 1997, she was featured on the cover of Seventeen which ran a story on "celeb moms & daughters".
Trump joined the Trump Organization in an executive position. Soon after that, she started her jewellery, shoe, and apparel lines, and she appeared in advertisements promoting the Trump Organization and her products. She was also featured in women's and special interest publications in "soft-hitting" profiles focusing on her "looks, lifestyles, and product lines", and featuring her on the cover of the same issue, like Harper's Bazaar, Forbes Life, Golf Magazine, Town & Country, and Vogue.
She was featured on the cover of Stuff in August 2006 and again in September 2007. She placed Number 83 in the 2007 Maxim Hot 100. She has also placed Number 99 in the Top 99 Women of 2007 and then at 84 in the 2008 edition on AskMen.com.
The Apprentice
In 2006, Trump filled in for Carolyn Kepcher on five episodes of her father's television program The Apprentice 5, first appearing to help judge the Gillette task in week 2. Like Kepcher, Trump visited the site of the tasks and spoke to the teams. Trump collaborated with season 5 winner Sean Yazbeck on his winner's project of choice, Trump SoHo Hotel-Condominium.
She replaced Kepcher as a primary boardroom judge during the sixth season of The Apprentice and its follow-up iteration, The Celebrity Apprentice.
Other TV appearances
In 1997, Trump co-hosted the Miss Teen USA Pageant, which was partially owned by her father, Donald Trump, from 1996 to 2005.
In 2003, she was featured in Born Rich, a documentary about the experience of growing up as a child in one of the world's most affluent families.
In 2006, she was a featured guest-judge on season 3 of Project Runway. She was also at a Milwaukee, Wisconsin, event in April 2007 called the Creating Wealth Summit in which she spoke for about 30 minutes about making money and her latest projects.
In 2010, Trump and her husband briefly portrayed themselves in Season 4 Episode 6 of Gossip Girl.
In 2015, she appeared as herself in an episode of Saturday Night Live.
In October 2009, Trump's first self-help book, The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life, was published; according to ghostwriter Daniel Paisner, he co-wrote the book.
In May 2017, her second self-help book, Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success, was published; she used the services of a writer, a researcher, and a fact-checker.
Political involvement and role in the Trump administration
2016 presidential campaign and election
Her father's 2016 presidential campaign was formally launched on June 16, 2015 at Trump Tower in New York City. In 2015, she publicly endorsed her father's presidential campaign. She was involved with her father's campaign by making public appearances in support of him and defending him. However, she admitted mixed feelings about his presidential ambitions, saying, in October 2015, "As a citizen, I love what he's doing. As a daughter, it's obviously more complicated." In August 2015, Trump's father stated that she was his leading advisor on "women's health and women" and said it was she who propelled him to elaborate on his views of women.
In January 2016, Trump was featured in a radio ad which aired in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire, in which she praised her father. She appeared by his side following the results of early voting states in 2016, in particular briefly speaking in South Carolina after being invited by her father to speak, thanking the state in doing so. She was not able to vote for her father in the New York primary in April 2016 because she missed the October 2015 deadline to change her registration from independent to Republican.
Trump introduced her father in a speech immediately before his own speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention (RNC) in July. The George Harrison song "Here Comes the Sun" was used as her entrance music. She knew her father quite well and said: "One of my father's greatest talents is the ability to see the potential in people", and said her father will "Make America Great Again". Her speech was well received as portraying her father "in a warmer-than-usual light", according to the Washington Post, though the article also referred to another Post article that had critiqued the speech. The earlier Post article had questioned whether the policy positions Ivanka Trump espoused were closer to those of Hillary Clinton than to those of her father. After the speech, the George Harrison estate complained about the use of his song as being offensive to their wishes. The next morning, Ivanka's official Twitter account tweeted, "Shop Ivanka's look from her #RNC speech" with a link to a Macy's page that featured the dress she wore.
The 58th quadrennial presidential election was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. His businessman father's Republican ticket defeated the Democratic ticket of former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.
After her father's election, Trump wore a bracelet on a family appearance with the president-elect on 60 Minutes. Her company then used an email blast to promote the appearance of the bracelet. After critiques for "monetization" the company quickly apologized, calling the publicity the work of "a well-intentioned marketing employee at one of our companies who was following customary protocol". A spokeswoman said that the company was, post-election, "proactively discussing new policies and procedures with all of our partners going forward".
Ivanka Trump has collected the work of artists who have protested to her directly following her father's election victory. In January 2017, artist Richard Prince returned a $36,000 payment he received for a work featuring Ivanka and disavowed its creation. Other artists joined behind a movement created by the Halt Action Group called @dear_ivanka, which aimed to change Trump's policies by appealing to Ivanka. Among its supporters were contemporary artist Alex Da Corte who told Trump to stay away from his paintings after she appeared in front of one on a social media post.
On Friday, January 20, 2017, she attended her father's inauguration at the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. as Trump took office as the 45th President of the United States.
Advisor to the President of the United States
After Donald Trump's election, rumors swirled about the future role that Ivanka would play in her father's administration. In early 2017, she stepped down from her post at the Trump Organization; the organization also removed images of Trump and Donald Trump from their websites, in accordance with official advice on federal ethics rules. In the early months of her father's presidency, some commented that she was filling a quasi-First Lady role while First Lady Melania Trump remained in New York City (her son Barron completed the school year in New York before the First Lady moved to Washington); Trump stated that she had no intention of being First Lady.
After advising her father in an unofficial capacity for the first two months of his administration, she was appointed Advisor to the President, a government employee, on March 29, 2017. She takes no salary. Prior to becoming a federal employee, she used a personal email for government work.
Amid the contentious early months of her father's administration, some commentators compared her role in the administration to that of Julie Nixon Eisenhower, daughter of President Richard Nixon. While Julie was one of the Nixon administration's most vocal defenders, Trump also defended the Trump administration and her father personally against a myriad of allegations. Washington Post opinion columnist Alyssa Rosenberg wrote, "Both daughters served as important validators for their fathers."
In early April 2017, the government of China extended trademarks to Trump's businesses. On the same day Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at Mar-A-Lago and Trump and Kushner sat next to the Chinese leader and his wife Peng Liyuan at the state dinner. Also during the visit, Trump and Kushner's five-year-old daughter Arabella "sang a traditional Chinese song, in Mandarin, . The video, which was lavishly praised by Chinese state media, played over 2.2 million times on China's popular news portal", Tencent QQ.
In late April 2017, Trump hired Julie Radford as her chief of staff. Before the end of the month, Trump and Radford had plans to travel with Dina Powell and Hope Hicks to the first W20 women's summit. The W20 was organized by the National Council of German Women's Organizations and the Association of German Women Entrepreneurs as one of the preparatory meetings leading up to the G20 head-of-state summit in July. At the conference, Trump spoke about women's rights; she was booed by the audience when she praised her father as an advocate for women.
In a recent announcement, Donald Trump said that his daughter will lead the U.S. delegation to India this fall in a global support of women's entrepreneurship. In response to this announcement, an Indian diplomat was quoted as stating: "We regard Ivanka Trump the way we do half-wit Saudi princes. It's in our national interest to flatter them."
Biographer and journalist Michael Wolff wrote a book that is based on numerous interviews with members of Donald Trump's circle. In an extract of this book, Wolff claims—but cites no sources—that Trump and her husband have reached a deal that "f sometime in the future the opportunity arose, she'd be the one to run for president".
She has also received criticism on Twitter for acting as Secretary of State after the firing of Rex Tillerson by meeting with the South Korean foreign minister.
Social and political causes
In July 2016, at the Republican National Convention, Trump said of her political views: "Like many of my fellow millennials, I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat." In 2007, Trump donated $1,000 to the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton. In 2012, Trump endorsed Mitt Romney for president. In 2013, Trump and her husband hosted a fundraiser for Democrat Cory Booker, and the couple bundled more than $40,000 for Booker's U.S. Senate campaign.
Trump says she is an advocate for women and Israel.
Trump has ties to a number of Jewish charities, including Chai Lifeline, a charity which helps to look after children with cancer. Other charities she supports include United Hatzalah, to which her father, Donald Trump, has made six-figure donations in the past.
After she was appointed Advisor to the President, Trump donated the unpaid half of the advance payments for her book Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success to the National Urban League and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. She further said that any royalties exceeding the advances will also be given to charity.
Personal life
In January 2017, it was announced that Trump and her husband had made arrangements to establish a family home in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, DC. Federal filings implied that, in 2017, Trump and her husband may have assets upwards of $740 million.
According to her mother, Ivanka Trump speaks French and understands Czech.
During college, Trump was in a nearly four-year relationship with Greg Hersch, an investment banker at Salomon Brothers, Bear Stearns, and UBS. From 2001 to 2005, she dated James "Bingo" Gubelmann.
In 2005, she started dating real estate developer Jared Kushner, whom she met through mutual friends. The couple broke up in 2008 due to the objections of Kushner's parents, but they got back together and married in a Jewish ceremony on October 25, 2009. They have three children, a daughter and two sons, born in 2011 and later. In an interview on The Dr. Oz Show, Trump revealed that she had suffered from postpartum depression after each of her pregnancies.
Trump has a close relationship with her father, who has publicly expressed his admiration for her on several occasions. Ivanka has likewise praised her father, complimenting his leadership skills and saying he empowers other people.
In a 2018 interview Quincy Jones stated he used to date Ivanka.
Trump was raised as a Presbyterian Christian. She converted to Orthodox Judaism in July 2009, after studying with Elie Weinstock from the Modern Orthodox Ramaz School. Trump took the Hebrew name "Yael". She describes her conversion as an "amazing and beautiful journey" which her father supported "from day one", adding that he has "tremendous respect" for the Jewish religion. She attests to keeping a kosher diet and observing the Jewish Sabbath, saying in 2015: "We're pretty observant... It's been such a great life decision for me... I really find that with Judaism, it creates an amazing blueprint for family connectivity. From Friday to Saturday we don't do anything but hang out with one another. We don't make phone calls." When living in New York City, Trump used to send her daughter to kindergarten at a Jewish school. She said: "It's such a blessing for me to have her come home every night and share with me the Hebrew that she's learned and sing songs for me around the holidays."
Trump and her husband made a pilgrimage to the grave of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, a popular prayer site, shortly before her father's election victory. On May 22, 2017, Trump and Kushner also traveled with her father on the first official visit of Israel by the Trump administration, where her father made the first visit to the Western Wall by a sitting U.S. president. Ivanka also visited the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in western Jerusalem and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem during the trip.
Awards and nominations
In 2012, The Wharton Club of New York, the official alumni association of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania for the New York metropolitan area, gave Trump the Joseph Wharton Award for Young Leadership, one of their four annual awards for Wharton alumni.
Ivanka Trump supports the following charitable causes: Cancer, Women's Issues, Teens.

WASHNGTON—The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today released a final rule setting forth a framework for placing uninsured national banks into receivership.
The final rule will apply to all uninsured national banks regulated by the OCC. While the National Bank Act (NBA) and Federal Deposit Insurance Act specify the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver for insured banks and savings associations, the NBA grants the Comptroller broad authority to appoint a receiver for uninsured national banks. The final rule will not apply to federal savings associations, all of which are insured. The final rule describes the:
The final rule will become effective on January 19, 2017.

I think it's a realization, and that 'realization' is different to 'experience'. I previously quoted Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche on the difference between realization and experience. Experience pertains to existence, realization pertains to reality, the difference being that experience implies the division of experience and experiencer, subject and object, whereas reality is inclusive of both. Other than that I generally agree with the points you are making.smjc wrote:Enlightenment is not a paradigm, attitude, or concept. It is an experience.
That is why even though it is true that:
Buddhism is not about any particular experience, but the nature of all experience, about the causes that give rise to, and make experience possible; what is behind all experiences. And that is why the teaching is on a completely different level to that of 'experience'. It consists of realizing the true nature of experience, specifically that it is always subject to 'conditioned origination' and so on.Astus wrote:Nevertheless, experience is something that happens in one of the six sensory gates. Even if we talk about the subtlest mental phenomena, they are impermanent. There is no seventh sensory gate beyond the six. And if any of them were permanent we would experience it constantly.
That is not something that takes place on an intellectual level - which is why even if we have a lot of knowledge of sutras and teachings, it doesn't necessarily translate into actual realization.
I agree with that. And 'uncovered' is the right way to put it - that is another way of distinguishing 'realization' and 'experience'. 'Realization' is 'of that which is always already the case'.smjc wrote:No, Buddha Nature is the essence of mind, before subject and object. It can never be taken as an object of consciousness anymore than the retina of your eye can see itself.

We're used to celebrities dropping by our offices – but when a fox and an alligator paid us a visit recently, we all went a little wild!
The visit was courtesy of Martin and Chris Kratt, the brothers who star in PBS's Wild Kratts, an animated children's series about animals who live in places like jungles and swamplands.
Martin, who held the 7-week-old swift fox and kept stroking him – just like a pet! – told us that the cute and cuddly animal only grows to about the size of a house cat.
So we were kind of shocked to hear that the little guy can run 35 miles an hour. "That's as fast as a grizzly bear," said Martin. (Which had us thinking our tabby can run maybe 1 mile an hour, and we're probably overestimating!)
Chris Kratt, who kept the 7-month-old baby alligator from wriggling out of his hands during the visit, told us that the scaly reptile is a great swimmer with a powerful mouth. "It's full of about 80 teeth. When one tooth gets worn down, another grows in behind it!"
The brothers have a lot more to say on their 26 new episodes starting this month, plus they've got upcoming specials on extinct animals and swamp creatures and the first-ever Wild Kratts book comes out on July 22.
Watch the fox and the alligator face the cameras during their visit to the PEOPLE studio!

Summorum Pontificum: What if the USCCB translation is flawed?
Fr. Z. at WDTPRS presents a conundrum:
the USCCB's unofficial English version of the whole MP does not match the English on the Vatican website. The problem is that the USCCB's Liturgy Office, under His Excellency Donald W. Trautman, published guidelines about the MP… based on the unofficial USCCB translation.
Quaeritur: What if the USCCB translation is flawed?
He is formatting tables on his blog to compare the ITALIAN, LATIN, HOLY SEE English version, and USCCB English version. Its a work in progress, worth following closely.

|wàn (fourth tone)
|10,000; ten thousand; countless
|Pronounced rather like 'one'
This character is used not only in counting but in many idiomatic expressions for extremes for example in 'Wanli Changcheng' the Great Wall. It's a bit like in English when we say 'million' to represent an unachievable number such as 'one in a million chance' or 'not a million miles away'. Many translations will render wan literally as 'ten thousand' when a term like 'forever', 'infinite', 'uncountable' or 'myriad' gets more to the sense of it, as in the proclamation 'may the Emperor live for ten thousand years' really means 'long live the Emperor'. The character is one 'borrowed' from another originally sounding one, in this case 'wan' for scorpion.
|ten thousand
|= forever; eternity

When it comes to making a marriage last, financial infidelity is as serious a marital infraction as sexual infidelity, according to experts.
Continue Reading Below
"Usually financial manipulation has been going on for a while before anyone suspects it," says Stewart Gagnon, partner at Fulbright & Jaworski. "One person may decide that the marriage is broken and start moving assets around by hiding money in accounts under another person's name or a company or by purchasing precious metals—either way, this money is squirreled away in a place that's hard find."
Whether it's excessive shopping, overspending on a hobby or hiding funds in a secret account, financial infidelity comes in many forms and can be easy to hide.
People feel less obligated to be honest with their spouse about finances than they do about emotional or sexual relationships—hiding assets is easier, says Laurie Dyke, certified public accountant and managing partner at IAG Forensics.
"There are lots of divorces where one partner pays the bills and doesn't know where the money is in the marital estate," says Stacy Collins, certified public accountant and managing director at Financial Research Associates. "This can happen across the board [in different levels of net worth]—there really isn't a rule of thumb."
Signs of Financial Infidelity
Suspicious partners can conduct their own probe to uncover any unscrupulous financial behavior. Here's how to start a hunt:
Review Documents. Experts suggest reviewing tax returns, bank account statements and credit card statements regularly. Look at the inflows and outflows and where the money goes, suggests Collins.
New bank accounts that pay interest have to be reported on tax returns, so suspicious partners should review forms; the IRS only requires one signature to request a form.
When money's been hidden, the biggest sign is a real disconnect between income reported and money available to pay bills. "If the salary isn't 100% available to pay bills, ask what happened to it," says Gagnon. "There could be expenditures or habits or they're just hiding the money."
Look for transfers between accounts that don't ring a bell. "If we see that, we try to get info on why that money was transferred to that account and where that account is," says Collins. Accounts are tracked by Social Security number but the bank name is necessary.
Changes in behavior. Establish a baseline and then look for changes—compare financial documents from before suspicion with today's, says Dyke.
"If one partner takes control and doesn't give the other person access or if your spouse doesn't let you look at the tax returns before signing it, it's a change," says Collins. These changes don't always mean your partner's hiding something though.
Excessive secrecy. Experts say that while it's acceptable for couples to have separate accounts, they should have access to review account activity. Both partners should review tax forms before they're filed, adds Dyke.
"Secrecy creates an opportunity but that doesn't mean something bad is happening."
Changes to accounts. "If all the accounts are disclosed and addresses are changed and statements go to another address, that's a red flag," says Dyke.
Bank accounts in a family member's name can raise questions, says Gagnon. A bank statement showing regular wire transfers or checks to a random person should also raise red flags.
Also look for unexplained gaps between income and expenditures. "Small gaps are easy to explain but a big gap can take a lot of explanation to figure that out."
Review all signed legal agreements. "During a certain period of time, [a spouse] may have been asked to sign legal agreements that they didn't know anything about," says Collins.
The agreement may not have had full disclosure and could have the potential for financial infidelity, particularly if assets were removed out of the marital estate. Gifting money to children or a charity may have unwanted financial implications.
When one spouse has a privately-held business, Collins says, there may be more opportunity to shield money beyond the other spouse's control.
Hunt for hidden income. Having more assets than income is a red flag, says Dyke. "Search for hidden assets and undisclosed income. There are times when a party will discover an affair or hidden assets which will lead to a divorce."
"Cash-based businesses are hard to track," says Dyke. Make sure money ends up in an account because it's easier to track. It takes a lot of work to figure out what happened to an unpredictable income source and if undeclared, you could have a tax issue.
How to Prevent Financial Infidelity
Both partners need to be involved in the finances, says Dyke. "The way people get stolen from, no matter the relationship, is when they fall asleep at the wheel. You need to trust your partner but you should know what's going on. When you don't know what's happening, it opens the door for someone to take money out of the marriage."
To add a level of transparency to your family's finances, Dyke suggests using financial software for household budgets so you know what's coming and how it's being spent.

Anritsu MT9083A8 OTDR
Anritsu MT9083A8 ACCESS Master 1310/1550nm OTDR
Optical fibers are a key technology in today modern communications systems, including access networks such as FTTx, CATV, and optical LANs. Moreover, optical-fiber technologies are playing increasingly important roles in mobile communications and digital broadcasting systems. Technicians maintaining these diverse systems are forced to carry a large variety of test equipment on-site, including OTDRs, Light Sources, Optical Power Meters, Visible Light Sources, etc., as well as a notebook computer for evaluating the FTTx QoS. On the other hand,fiber construction requires measuring instruments with different functions and performance.
As an example, FTTx access networks use single mode (SM) fiber whereas optical LANs use multimode (MM) fiber. In addition,core and backbone networks utilize long fibers while optical access networks use short fibers, both requiring different types of measuring instruments with different performance. But now Anritsu new line of MT9083A ACCESS Master OTDRs solves all these problems by providing all the measurement functions and performance required for optical fiber construction and maintenance in a compact, lightweight, all-in-one unit that eliminates the burden of carrying many different test sets and instruments on-site. Whatever your work, construction or maintenance, long haul or intra-building, Anritsu has an MT9083A model for your needs.
Note: We are the Agent of Anristu Products in China, we can guarantee we will give you the lowest price in Chinese market.
