About two decades ago, a woman knocked on the door of Paul Hewitt, a clinical psychologist based in Vancouver, Canada.

Outwardly, Anita — the pseudonym given in Hewitt’s new book — had everything meticulously together: she told her therapist of an idyllic childhood, the supportive family she came from, the daughter she felt close to, her broad network of friends.

But the loss of her mom, who was her closest friend and confidant, was a big blow to her; it had happened ten years earlier... Читать дальше...

Nikos Giannopoulos, Rhode Island's 2017 Teacher of the Year, posed next to President Donald Trump while holding a black lace fan and wearing a rainbow LGBTQ pride pin on his jacket. And Trump "loved it," Giannopoulos told NPR.  

Giannopoulos posted the official White House photograph to Facebook on Thursday, which depicted him striking a memorable pose next to Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

There are several different kinds of frequent flyers.

• Aviation geeks. Just love planes, and all things aerospace.
• Luxury value seekers. Points and elite status are tools to enjoy travel to the fullest, without paying full price. 
• Lowest price travelers, seek to get travel at the lowest possible cost and doesn’t understand spending more miles for a premium cabin ticket or why a suite would matter. Breakfast may be free with status, but breakfast is just coffee and... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump chose simple over swanky this Father’s Day weekend.

Nearly five months into his presidency, Trump flew for the first time Saturday to Camp David, the government-owned retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains. A frequent weekend traveler, Trump has favored his palatial residences in Florida and New Jersey over the wooded hideaway used by many presidents for a break from Washington.

Few expect the luxury-loving leader to make this a regular thing. Читать дальше...

Iraq has been India’s largest supplier of crude oil for the last three months, shipping data from Bloomberg has revealed. This means that OPEC’s number-two has dethroned the cartel’s leader—Saudi Arabia—which has been the top supplier in the world’s fastest-growing market in terms of oil consumption.

Iraq produced almost a quarter of the oil India imported last month, or 23 percent, exporting at a daily rate of 1 million barrels. That is compared to a monthly... Читать дальше...

NOW WATCH: JIM ROGERS: The Fed is clueless and is setting us up for disaster

Bitcoin may have appreciated 300% in the last 12 months, but Morgan Stanley still isn't convinced the cryptocurrency will be a viable currency in the long run.

Though in the last decade, women have found more work as directors and showrunners on TV, movies are still in the Stone Age when it comes to gender equality. In fact, a recent study showed that in 2016, only 7% of the 250 highest-grossing movies were directed by women, a 2% drop from the year before. 

There’s no better example of this imbalance than the male-dominated comedy movie market, where women are rarely ever given the opportunity to helm outside of rom-coms. So even though... Читать дальше...

Airline customer service reps know a thing or two about travel. 

From the moment you step into the airport to when you finally board your flight, it's these airport workers' job to help you successfully navigate getting from point A to point B.

What's more, with the perks that come along with working for an airline, like free or discounted flights, many of these agents have quite a bit of travel experience themselves. 

So, who better to turn to... Читать дальше...

In January, I got a lucky career break. It wasn’t a promotion or a job offer. My husband left his law firm job to start his own firm from home. I knew the change would be good for him, but I had no idea how good it would be for me.

President Donald Trump's latest financial disclosure showed that the general election campaign and early months of his presidency have been pretty good for his prominent businesses.

The disclosure, released Friday by the Office of Government Ethics, showed that many of Trump's marquee properties, golf clubs, and resorts saw significant income growth from the disclosures he released in 2015, which came early in his presidential bid, and 2016, when he released...

“Of course I believe in myself, I can do anything I put my mind to!”

That’s the mantra of a confident person. One that I proudly repeated to myself (and to others) throughout my early career.

But that wasn’t the full mantra. It was actually: Of course I believe in myself, I can do anything I put my mind to—except for anything that doesn’t come naturally to me

I vividly remember the first time I realized that my belief in myself was actually conditional... Читать дальше...

• NASA is launching a rocket that will create colorful clouds in space.
• The rocket launch and clouds may be visible as far away as New York City.
• Such clouds will eventually be used to probe two big holes in Earth's magnetic shield, called cusps.
• The launch will be live-streamed by NASA Wallops Flight Facility.

For the last two weeks, NASA has been waiting for the right moment to launch a rocket that... Читать дальше...

Mark Zuckerberg has a lot on his plate.

The 33-year-old runs Facebook, the social media giant with a market cap of $433.25 billion.

It's not surprising that the tech CEO has quite a lot to do throughout the day.

That being said, Zuckerberg still makes the time to exercise, travel extensively, and spend time with his family.

He stays productive and balanced by eliminating non-essential choices from his life and setting ambitious goals for himself. Читать дальше...

Sherri Littlefield wants a phone number with the 212 area code.

“I think if people saw that, they would just immediately know, ‘Oh, she lives in New York City,’” Littlefield said.

Littlefield is sitting on a brown leather couch at Foley Gallery, a contemporary art space on Manhattan’s Lower East Side where she’s associate director. Behind her is a photo of a pink rose, frozen in liquid nitrogen and shattered.

The gallery has a 212 number. But in her side gig... Читать дальше...

The campaign by Trump loyalists to pre-emptively discredit Robert Mueller kicked into high gear this week. One line of attack has focused on the special counsel team, which has grown in the month since Mueller’s appointment to lead the FBI’s Russia investigation to include at least five extremely well-regarded investigators.

Earlier this week, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich advised his Twitter followers to “look” at the people Mueller has hired and to “check”... Читать дальше...

NOW WATCH: Buying Tesla stock is like buying a call option on Elon Musk

Buying a high-performance luxury sedan in the United States in 2017 isn't difficult. You don't have to think about it. If you have the means, Mercedes, Lexus, Audi, Cadillac, and BMW have you covered — especially BMW.

The Bavarians created the sports sedan and brought it to America in the 1970s. Since then, BMW has improved on the idea to the point where its 3 Series is the platonic ideal of four-door go-fast-ness. If you move up the M-Sport M3 from BMW's performance division... Читать дальше...

The AGM-114 Hellfire missile was created to give America an advantage against the Soviet military’s massive tank formations.

But now the missile is used as everything from an anti-personnel weapon to bunker buster.

The Hellfire was conceived in 1974 in response to an Army request for a helicopter-launched, fire-and-forget, anti-tank missile.

What came out of the program was the AGM-114A Hellfire missile which followed a laser designator to reach its target. Читать дальше...

A lot of things about Wednesday’s shooting at a congressional Republican baseball practice felt reminiscent of the 2011 assassination attempt on Rep. Gabby Giffords that left six people dead including a congressional staffer. Like six years ago, the most prominent leaders of both parties issued a call for unity from both sides of the aisle, for example.

Morgan Stanley financial advisers, on average, are set to bring in over $1 million in revenues each in 2017.

That's a nearly 67% increase from the average revenues per financial advisers in 2010. But recent growth is not enough for the bank. It is setting its sights even higher, and has targeted a half a trillion dollar opportunity. 

In a presentation to investors on Tuesday June 13, Naureen Hassan, the bank's chief digital officer for wealth-management... Читать дальше...

Wells Fargo is coming under fire again.

The bank stands accused of making changes to customers' mortgages without telling them. The charges, set out in lawsuits, come as the bank attempts to recover from the reputational carnage wrought by the fraudulent accounts scandal that cost the firm $185 million in fines last year.

Even as the company's accounts scandal was coming to a boil in 2015, Wells Fargo was making unauthorized changes that extended the life of customers' home loans... Читать дальше...

Buying a home can seem especially daunting if you've never done it before.

A house is not just the biggest single purchase most people will ever make, it's generally many times more expensive than the next closest thing. Make a mistake, and you could end up facing serious money problems, a miserable living situation, or any number of other predicaments.

The good news is that you don't have to worry about making mistakes, because I've made them all. Over the past 20 years... Читать дальше...

As the investigation into the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia gains traction, special counsel Robert Mueller has begun quietly assembling a formidable team of top lawyers and investigators.

Mueller has so far hired 12 people and intends to bring on more, his spokesman Peter Carr told The New York Times.

Only a handful have been named publicly so far, but legal experts and fellow lawyers who have spoken to media in recent days lauded the... Читать дальше...

Elon Musk is a busy guy.

He's developing electric vehicles, self-driving cars, tunnel-boring infrastructure technology, and re-usable rockets (with the goal of getting humans to Mars). 

Given Musk's ambitiousness, it's not totally surprising that he is also launching a company that will look into ways to link human brains to computers. Musk reportedly plans to spend 3-5% of his work time on Neuralink, which will develop technology to integrate brains and computers as a way to fix... Читать дальше...
