Ivanka Trump is Back as a Diplomat at UNGA

Ivanka Trump was in New York to practice diplomacy at the Concordia Annual Summit on last Monday morning. Trump apologized to the group of thought leaders, all visitors and New Yorkers for the traffic on behalf of the United States government. She was there to promote her Women’s Global Development and Prosperity (W-GDP) initiative.
Trump unveiled the initiative (part of her West Wing portfolio) earlier this year and has since then travelled to Africa and South America to promote it. She said the initiative aims to coordinate efforts across federal agencies to empower women in developing countries. It proposes to do so through three pillars: education, entrepreneurship and eliminating legal, regulatory and cultural barriers to women’s economic participation.
At the summit she outlined the initiative’s three pillars while explaining the five areas of law impacting women in global economies. She produced examples of some early successes advancing women’s rights in Cote d’Ivoire which she visited in April.
Trump mentioned some ‘inspiring’ examples of women she’s met through her work like an Argentinian baker who received assistance to purchase baking equipment for an at-home business. She used phrases like “delivering solutions,” “collaborate toward shared goals” and “advance the ball” all in one sentence. She said she with the team are leveraging collective efforts through the initiative to change in countries where there’s not a level playing field.
Trump hoped that with these visits she hopes to generate goodwill for the United States. President Donald Trump has recognized her work multiple times during his remarks before world leaders at the UN by thanking her directly during his speeches and referencing W-GDP during his address to the General Assembly recently.

5 Things to do in Maryland

The East Coast of the US has a lot to offer, and although might not be top of the list for everyone, there are so many reasons why you should visit Maryland.

Immerse yourself in history with the range of museums and monuments that Maryland has to offer. Here are the top 5 things that you can do when visiting Maryland.
1. Oriole Park at Camden Yards
If you’re a sports fan heading to Maryland, visiting Camden Yards is a must. Home to the Baltimore Orioles, Camden Yards was opened in 1992, it’s a retro-style park and it has been from the day it was built! If you’re planning on visiting this old-school stadium, you’ll be headed right into the heart of Baltimore’s inner harbour, with a huge variety of things to see and do, experiencing an Oriole’s game means you can experience this quaint park, as well the stunning harbour surroundings. Soon, you’ll be able to place moneyline bets online in Maryland, so you can add a whole new level of excitement to your favourite baseball games.
2. Ocean City Boardwalk
Baltimore’s boardwalk is one of the best in the country, so if you’re looking for things to do in Maryland, this should be top of your list! The boardwalk itself dates to 1902, but it is still one of the most exciting places to visit this day. Situated right on the beach, there’s an abundance of fun to be had here, and a lot of the time, the activities are free!
Morning or night, you can guarantee there is always something to see and do. You can head to the amusements, with arcades that are fun for the whole family, or if you’re more of a thrill-seeker, ride the rollercoaster or take in the stunning views from the top of the Ferris wheel. If you’re hungry, you’ll want to try Maryland’s famous crab cakes or if you’ve got a sweet tooth, the saltwater taffy or hot funnel cakes might be more your style. The boardwalk has something for everyone, shops, amusements, and food – not to mention the beach!
3. Maryland Science centre
A trip to Maryland wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the Maryland science centre. Fun for both kids and adults, you can immerse yourselves in all things science. With three levels of exhibits, you can delve into learning more about astrology, palaeontology, physics and how the human body works. One of the most stunning attractions at the science centre is the rooftop observatory that allows you to explore the night sky. The planetarium is also not to be missed – an Imax theatre which features films on all things from space to butterflies.
4. Fort McHenry
Fort McHenry is well worth a visit for history experts and novices alike. This fort was built to defend Baltimore Harbour from a British attack in 1814. It has since then been named a ‘National Monument and Historic Shrine’. The Fort is open to visitors and is a must-see. When visiting you can choose one of the many tours to ensure you get the most from your time here, you can choose to pay for entry, or just take it all from a walk along the path near the bay.
The visitor centre itself has artefacts and information, as well as a 10-minute film on the fort’s history that is not to be missed. Make sure you walk around the fort before you enter the grounds, and you’ll get to see canons that were used in World War 2.

This aquarium has it all – watch the sharks circle, the various species of birds take flight and watch the crocodiles snap. When visiting, you can choose a guided tour or just take your time, soaking up all that this attraction has to offer.
