3 Reasons New York's New Carbon Emissions Goal Is A Huge Step https://www.huffpost.com/entry/new-york-carbon-emissions_n_565f7459e4b079b2818d2835 3-reasons-new-york's-new-carbon-emissions-goal-is-a-huge-step Climate change has really entered the Empire State of mind. nyc energy,Paris COP21,new york carbon emissions,cuomo carbon emissions,Climate Change,Andrew Cuomo www.huffpost.com HuffPost Business Alexander C. Kaufman https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/565f8d21210000c9005ac224.jpeg?ops=1778_1000 en-US NEW YORK -- The Empire State wants to conquer its carbon emissions. Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday ordered the state Department of Public Service, which oversees utilities, to "design and enact" regulations mandating that the state generate half of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The announcement comes two days into the month-long COP21 climate conference in Paris, where world leaders are negotiating a deal to drastically reduce carbon emissions before the planet warms past a point that human society can sustain. “Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time, and we must act now,” Cuomo said in a statement. “As discussions continue in Paris, we are taking real, enforceable actions in New York to lay the foundation for a thriving clean energy economy." 1. Others will follow New York remains one of the most politically influential U.S. states. Its move last year to ban hydraulic fracturing -- a controversial method, known as fracking, used by energy companies to extract natural gas locked in solid bedrock -- has drawn aggressive pushback from drillers. Yet, months after New York prohibited fracking, Maryland passed a similar ban. “Governor Cuomo’s announcement puts New York right where it should be -- at the front of the pack," Heather Leibowitz, director of the nonprofit Environment New York, said in statement. "The new Clean Energy Standard will dramatically expand the amount of our electricity generated by renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar energy, and accelerate New York’s transition away from polluting fuels." 2. This props up the renewable industry State mandates bolster renewable energy industry and encourage power companies to transition from fossil fuels. New York has put a particular focus on solar. Con Edison -- New York City's chief power provider -- has doubled its production of electricity from solar over the last two years. The state also is pumping $1 billion in cash and tax incentives into a new SolarCity factory in economically stunted Buffalo. Electricity generated in the state by solar soared 300 percent from 2011 to 2014. 3. It sends a strong message in Wall Street's backyard For decades, big banks have funded the lucrative fossil fuel industry. That's beginning to change, as financiers divest from smog-causing coal, but not quickly enough. The International Energy Agency estimates that avoiding catastrophic climate change will cost at least $7 trillion a year through 2050. That's more than 19 times the $390 billion a year spent now. Aggressively pursuing renewable energy in Wall Street's backyard sends a strong message about what kinds of investments will be lucrative in the future. <div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>NEW YORK -- The Empire State wants to conquer its carbon emissions.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Gov.

Ex-FBI Director James Comey's Message To Capitol Rioters https://www.huffpost.com/entry/james-comey-trump-capitol-riot_n_5ffe5967c5b66f3f79623ea6 ex-fbi-director-james-comey's-message-to-capitol-rioters "If you went up those stairs ... you committed a crime," Comey said on "The Late Show." Donald Trump,Politics,Stephen Colbert,United States Department of Justice,James Comey,United States Capitol,Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation www.huffpost.com HuffPost Politics Josephine Harvey https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/5ffe645c2600007a747a3ed6.png?cache=YcmxZebn5h&ops=1778_1000 en-US Former FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday advised supporters of President Donald Trump that they can expect a knock on their door from authorities if they participated in last week’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Comey, who was fired by Trump in 2017, said on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert that anyone who participated in Wednesday’s riot should turn themselves in, even if they’ve not yet been named by authorities. ″If you went up those stairs ― not even into the building ― if you went up those stairs you committed a crime. If you participated in assaults on police officers, if you went inside the building, any of that, you are going to be found,” Comey said. In a press conference Tuesday, the FBI and Justice Department announced that hundreds of cases would be brought against insurrectionists, whose actions led to the deaths of five people, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer. Michael Sherwin, acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said the range of criminal conduct was “unmatched” by anything he’d seen at the FBI or Justice Department. More than 160 case files have been opened, and 70 people have been charged so far, he said. “We’re looking at everything from simple trespass, to theft of mail, to theft of digital devices inside the Capitol, to assault on local officers, federal officers both outside and inside the Capitol, to the theft of potential national security information, to felony murder,” he said. Comey was leading the investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election before he was abruptly fired in May 2017. He has since been a vocal critic of the Trump administration. <div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Former <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/fbi">FBI</a> Director <a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="James Comey" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="0" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/james-comey" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5ffe5967c5b66f3f79623ea6" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/james-comey" role="link" target="_blank">James Comey</a> on Tuesday advised supporters of President <a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="Donald Trump" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="1" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5ffe5967c5b66f3f79623ea6" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump" role="link" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a> that they can expect a knock on their door from authorities if they participated in last week’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Comey, who was fired by Trump in 2017, said on “<a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="The Late Show" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="2" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="https://www.huffpost.com/entertainment/topic/the-late-show" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5ffe5967c5b66f3f79623ea6" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="https://www.huffpost.com/entertainment/topic/the-late-show" role="link" target="_blank">The Late Show</a>” with <a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="Stephen Colbert" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="3" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="https://www.huffpost.com/entertainment/topic/stephen-colbert" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5ffe5967c5b66f3f79623ea6" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="https://www.huffpost.com/entertainment/topic/stephen-colbert" role="link" target="_blank">Stephen Colbert</a> that anyone who participated in Wednesday’s riot should turn themselves in, even if they’ve not yet been named by authorities.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>″If you went up those stairs ― not even into the building ― if you went up those stairs you committed a crime.

Grammy Award-winning artist Pras Michel had convinced his good friend and well-known Haitian singer Michel "Sweet Mickey" Martelly to run for office, then he heard that another famous Haitian musician had thrown his hat into the ring -- his former Fugees bandmate Wyclef Jean. "That was a bombshell," he told host Roy Sekoff during Friday's episode of "The HuffPost Show." While Jean's camp had millions in his campaign fund, Sweet Mickey was getting by with much less, Michel explained. "He's the biggest Haitian international superstar, so he came in and we were the little train that could," Michel said. "Wyclef came in with $20 million just to register. We had just $17,000." Michel said the competition from Jean gave Martelly an unexpected boost in the race. Once news outlets heard that Michel and Jean were on competing campaigns, the press coverage started flowing in. "Actually, he helped us because his weight was so huge. Then everyone made it 'ex-bandmate not supporting Wyclef,' which helped Michel Martelly get some international coverage," he said. In the end, Martelly beat the odds, winning the election in a landslide vote after Jean was disqualified from the race -- though no official reason was made public, press speculated it was because he had not met the residency requirement for the role. Michel's new documentary "Sweet Micky for President,” which chronicles Martelly's road to victory, is slated to be screened at the L.A. Film Festival this year.

Instead of that vague goal of getting in shape or being healthy, try a firm resolution that you can hold yourself to: completing in a marathon.

Instead of that vague goal of getting in shape or being healthy, try a firm resolution that you can hold yourself to: completing in a marathon. To add a little more incentive, sign up for a great destination marathon taking place in a totally vacation-worthy setting that you'd always wanted to visit anyway. Elliot Bay, Seattle Rock 'N' Roll Seattle - Seattle, Washington A member of the Rock 'N' Roll marathon series, this Seattle race is a big hit for many runners. Scheduled for June 18, 2016, this is one of the earlier big races of the year and is outside the typical May and October/November race schedule. Being in June, it's the perfect time to plan a few days to get away for a vacation. Can't miss sight: Pike Place Market is one of the oldest farmer's markets in the U.S. and one overlooks the Elliott Bay waterfront. Post race meal: While you're at the market, head over to Pike Place Chowder. Nothing beats the post race blues like a cup of hot soup.

Southernmost Point Buoy, Key West Southernmost Marathon - Key West, Florida This sunny race isn't until October 8, 2016, so you'll have plenty of time to train. Like the name implies, this is the furthest south you can get in the continental U.S., and the course takes runners right by the landmark that says so. The Key West heat might be more intense compared to what some participants will train in, but you can be sure a cold snap won't jeopardize your race day. Can't miss sight: Make sure either before or after the race, you stop for a photo at the southernmost landmark. Only 90 miles from Cuba and the race's namesake, you won't want to leave without this souvenir. Post race meal: Check out Eaton Street Seafood Market for a delicious lobster roll and a beer. The protein and the carbs will help with your recovery, and the tasty local fare is good for your soul. The Bean at Millennium Park, Chicago Bank of America Chicago Marathon - Chicago, Illinois The Chicago Marathon takes runners through the city's diverse neighborhoods and offers amazing views of the skyline. While this is a race many runners have to qualify for, there is a lottery where first timers and non-elites can throw their name in the hat. If you are aiming for Chicago's race, set for October 9, 2016, make sure you keep tabs on when you can register and when the lottery is. For the 2015 race only about 50 percent of those who entered the lottery got in, so just make sure you have a backup plan. Can't miss sight: The race starts and ends near Millennium Park, so you'll definitely get the chance to see that. One thing you might not see unless you go out of your way is the Navy Pier right on Lake Michigan. Post race meal: If you've been eating healthy leading up to the race, the best place to reward yourself is Portillo's. This Illinois favorite has all the foods you've been drooling over like hot dogs, burgers and most importantly, milkshakes.

A Conversation With Sarah Shafer - Young Soprano Shines in 'La Ciociara' at San Francisco Opera https://www.huffpost.com/entry/a-conversation-with-sarah_b_7670320 a-conversation-with-sarah-shafer---young-soprano-shines-in-'la-ciociara'-at-san-francisco-opera Soprano Sarah Shafer is currently singing the role of "Rosetta" in the world premiere of La Ciociara (Two Women) at San Francisco Opera. A co-production with Teatro Regio di Torino, the score is by Marco Tutino as well as its libretto written in collaboration with Fabio Ceresa. san francisco www.huffpost.com HuffPost San Francisco Sean Martinfield https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/default-entry.jpg?ops=1778_1000 en-US Soprano Sarah Shafer is currently singing the role of "Rosetta" in the world premiere of La Ciociara (Two Women) at San Francisco Opera. A co-production with Teatro Regio di Torino, the score is by Marco Tutino as well as its libretto written in collaboration with Fabio Ceresa. The story is based on the 1957 novel by Alberto Moravia. The popular film adaptation by writer and director Vittorio De Sica - released in the USA as Two Women in 1961 - starred twenty-six-year-old Sophia Loren as Rosetta's mother, Cisera. When she was awarded the Oscar for Best Actress - Hollywood was agog. It was the first time the Motion Picture Academy had embraced a foreign language performance. The film has long been available in VHS and DVD formats and recently premiered on Turner Classic Movies. The story has always been an opera waiting to happen. Anna Caterina Antonacci heads the cast as Cisera. In pursuit of her are baritone Mark Delavan as Giovanni and tenor Dimitri Pittas as Michele. Bass-baritone Christian Van Horn takes on the expanded role of the German officer, Fedor Von Bock. Last seen at SF Opera in 2013 as Mary Lennox in The Secret Garden - Sarah Shafer is the ideal fit for the innocent Rosetta. Says Sarah, "I think she is a much stronger character in this opera." Sarah Shafer and Anna Caterina Antonacci. Photo, Cory Weaver "For me, the role is more of an acting role than a singing role. Rosetta sings throughout, but it's in short spurts. There is no aria and she really doesn't have a full page of singing. She has comments and thoughts throughout - but most of what I do is about what's going on in her head. So, it's an acting role - visually and physically showing her transformation throughout the opera. That was the challenge for me, not doing her journey so much vocally but figuring out what to do physically. That's why it was so great to work with Anna Caterina. She is amazing - very subtle, very strong, a very still actress. She shows so much just through her posture, through her stance, with just one look - and holding that look for as long as she needs to. It's unlike anything I've done before. I learned a lot from working with her, trying to appear like her daughter, emulating and imitating a bit of what she was doing. I learned how little it takes for something to read onstage. You don't have to do very much. You think it. Staying still is actually the challenge." Prior to the opening night of La Ciociara, I watched several of her live performances on YouTube. Sarah's rendition of "Ain't it a pretty night?" from Floyd's Susannah is nothing short of luxurious. Another account of a young woman who is the victim of rape. Even through the video's limited fidelity, the aria sounds fresh and new, the lyrics shimmer. "I aim to leave this valley some day," says Susannah, "an' find out fer myself; to see all the tall buildin's and all the street lights." Sarah's graduate recital at Curtis begins with a set of Schubert songs, including Im Frühling (In the Springtime), Die junge Nonne (The Young Nun), and Du bist die Ruh (You are Rest). Sarah's rich tonality, exquisite phrasing, and dramatic sensibility shines through each. Turns out, it was Sarah's affinity with Schubert that got her admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music. LA CIOCIARA. San Francisco Opera. Photo, Cory Weaver "I never thought I'd get into Curtis. My dad is a pianist, he played for my audition. We did it on a whim. We thought, 'Why not? It's only three hours away from our house.' I sang Du bist die Ruh and Quella Fiamma - one of those twenty-four arias in the Italian anthology - and Jubal's Lyre by Handel. I was shocked to get into the finals. Mikael Eliason [Dean of Vocal Studies] told me later that it was the Du bist die Ruh that got me in. So, Schubert has had a very big place in my life right from the beginning." Sarah earned a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance in 2010 and her Master of Music in Opera in 2014. The honors were eight years in the making. Her final role at Curtis Opera Theatre was Sister Constance in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites. Following her graduation she became a member of Opera Philadelphia's Emerging Artists Program. "It's a support program for young singers. We got small roles and would cover roles in the season, sing recitals and different events throughout the city. We didn't have to be in Philadelphia all the time. It's not about classes. It was perfect for me. It gave me freedom to work and do the things I wanted to do. It also has affiliation and support from the opera company. I got to sing my first Verdi role, the Celestial Voice in Don Carlo. I was working with Eric Owens, Leah Crocetto, and Dmitri Pittas who is singing Michele here." Other recent appearances include Adina in The Elixir of Love at Memphis Opera; Papagena in The Magic Flute and Nuria in Osvaldo Golijov's Ainadamar at Opera Philadelphia. Following La Ciociara, Sarah begins a concert schedule that includes a July 4th appearance in Nashville where she will sing Samuel Barber's Knoxville, Summer of 1915 with the National Symphony. Then onto her second appearance with the Marlborough Festival where she will perform lieder by Robert Schumann and a new piece for cello and soprano by Kaija Saariaho. "At Marlborough, you never know how many performances you will have. It depends on the dynamics of the group and what's needed in the program. They make the programs based on what's ready. It's this interesting philosophy that nothing needs to be performed, but when things get to a place of performance - you can submit them for consideration for performance on the weekend. I may have one, I may have four. It just depends. The objective is not so much that it's ready to be performed, but that you're getting to know new and different repertoire at a very deep level with people who care about it as much as you do. So, its not a let's rehearse and play philosophy. It's actually a what's-in-the-score philosophy and what's-it-all-about philosophy." Dimitri Pittas, Sarah Shafer, Anna Caterina Antonacci. Photo, Cory Weaver In August, Sarah makes her second appearance at the Bard Music Festival (Annandale-on-Hudson, New York) performing works by what she calls an eclectic ton of different and very obscure composers. Come December 15, she will perform in a chamber opera by Efrain Amaya and Susana Amundaraín, Constellations - in the guise of St. Teresa of Avila. Not her first role as a nun. I asked Sarah how she would encourage younger singers who are perhaps bothered and bewildered by classical music as well as dazed by the rapid changes in the music industry at large. Where and how does the discussion start about considering a career in opera - especially American opera? "I think there are less and less young people going to concerts. I would encourage them to be open-minded, to explore, to be curious about what else is going on. It's great and comfortable to know something and be where you are, but you may like something else even better - something you've never heard, don't even know yet. That is the reason I do new operas and want to know what's next - something I didn't know before. That's the way you get better - how you figure out what you're actually good at. Not by putting yourself in a little box - 'This role is for me.' That's not really being an artist. An artist is always looking for the next thing, always thinking - 'What can happen here?

A co-production with Teatro Regio di Torino, the score is by Marco Tutino as well as its libretto written in collaboration with Fabio Ceresa. The story is based on the 1957 novel by Alberto Moravia. The popular film adaptation by writer and director Vittorio De Sica - released in the USA as <em>Two Women</em> in 1961 - starred twenty-six-year-old Sophia Loren as Rosetta's mother, Cisera. When she was awarded the Oscar for Best Actress - Hollywood was agog. It was the first time the Motion Picture Academy had embraced a foreign language performance. The film has long been available in VHS and DVD formats and recently premiered on Turner Classic Movies. The story has always been an opera waiting to happen.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Anna Caterina Antonacci heads the cast as Cisera. In pursuit of her are baritone Mark Delavan as Giovanni and tenor Dimitri Pittas as Michele. Bass-baritone Christian Van Horn takes on the expanded role of the German officer, Fedor Von Bock. Last seen at SF Opera in 2013 as Mary Lennox in <em>The Secret Garden</em> - Sarah Shafer is the ideal fit for the innocent Rosetta. Says Sarah, "I think she is a much stronger character in this opera."</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p><a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="1" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318556-6303758-SarahShaferandAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5be3781be4b0b83d9e85fbb1" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318556-6303758-SarahShaferandAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" role="link"><img alt="2015-06-26-1435318556-6303758-SarahShaferandAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" height="381" src="https://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318556-6303758-SarahShaferandAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver-thumb.jpg" width="531"/></a><br/> Sarah Shafer and Anna Caterina Antonacci.

There is no aria and she really doesn't have a full page of singing. She has comments and thoughts throughout - but most of what I do is about what's going on in her head. So, it's an acting role - visually and physically showing her transformation throughout the opera. That was the challenge for me, not doing her journey so much vocally but figuring out what to do physically. That's why it was so great to work with Anna Caterina. She is amazing - very subtle, very strong, a very still actress. She shows so much just through her posture, through her stance, with just one look - and holding that look for as long as she needs to. It's unlike anything I've done before. I learned a lot from working with her, trying to appear like her daughter, emulating and imitating a bit of what she was doing. I learned how little it takes for something to read onstage. You don't have to do very much. You think it. Staying still is actually the challenge."</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Prior to the opening night of <em>La Ciociara</em>, I watched several of her live performances on YouTube. Sarah's rendition of "Ain't it a pretty night?" from Floyd's <em>Susannah</em> is nothing short of luxurious. Another account of a young woman who is the victim of rape. Even through the video's limited fidelity, the aria sounds fresh and new, the lyrics shimmer. "I aim to leave this valley some day," says Susannah, "an' find out fer myself; to see all the tall buildin's and all the street lights." Sarah's graduate recital at Curtis begins with a set of Schubert songs, including <em>Im Frühling</em> (In the Springtime), <em>Die junge Nonne</em> (The Young Nun), and <em>Du bist die Ruh</em> (You are Rest). Sarah's rich tonality, exquisite phrasing, and dramatic sensibility shines through each. Turns out, it was Sarah's affinity with Schubert that got her admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p><a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="2" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318723-2166700-LACIOCIARA.SanFranciscoOpera.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5be3781be4b0b83d9e85fbb1" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318723-2166700-LACIOCIARA.SanFranciscoOpera.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" role="link"><img alt="2015-06-26-1435318723-2166700-LACIOCIARA.SanFranciscoOpera.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" height="386" src="https://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318723-2166700-LACIOCIARA.SanFranciscoOpera.PhotoCoryWeaver-thumb.jpg" width="524"/></a><br/> LA CIOCIARA.

We thought, 'Why not? It's only three hours away from our house.' I sang Du bist die Ruh and Quella Fiamma - one of those twenty-four arias in the Italian anthology - and Jubal's Lyre by Handel. I was shocked to get into the finals. Mikael Eliason [Dean of Vocal Studies] told me later that it was the Du bist die Ruh that got me in. So, Schubert has had a very big place in my life right from the beginning."</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Sarah earned a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance in 2010 and her Master of Music in Opera in 2014. The honors were eight years in the making. Her final role at Curtis Opera Theatre was Sister Constance in Poulenc's <em>Dialogues des Carmélites</em>. Following her graduation she became a member of Opera Philadelphia's Emerging Artists Program. </p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>"It's a support program for young singers. We got small roles and would cover roles in the season, sing recitals and different events throughout the city. We didn't have to be in Philadelphia all the time. It's not about classes. It was perfect for me. It gave me freedom to work and do the things I wanted to do. It also has affiliation and support from the opera company. I got to sing my first Verdi role, the Celestial Voice in Don Carlo. I was working with Eric Owens, Leah Crocetto, and Dmitri Pittas who is singing Michele here."</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Other recent appearances include Adina in <em>The Elixir of Love</em> at Memphis Opera; Papagena in <em>The Magic Flute</em> and Nuria in Osvaldo Golijov's <em>Ainadamar</em> at Opera Philadelphia. Following <em>La Ciociara</em>, Sarah begins a concert schedule that includes a July 4th appearance in Nashville where she will sing Samuel Barber's <em>Knoxville, Summer of 1915</em> with the National Symphony. Then onto her second appearance with the Marlborough Festival where she will perform lieder by Robert Schumann and a new piece for cello and soprano by Kaija Saariaho.</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>"At Marlborough, you never know how many performances you will have. It depends on the dynamics of the group and what's needed in the program. They make the programs based on what's ready. It's this interesting philosophy that nothing needs to be performed, but when things get to a place of performance - you can submit them for consideration for performance on the weekend. I may have one, I may have four. It just depends. The objective is not so much that it's ready to be performed, but that you're getting to know new and different repertoire at a very deep level with people who care about it as much as you do. So, its not a let's rehearse and play philosophy. It's actually a what's-in-the-score philosophy and what's-it-all-about philosophy."</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p><a class="js-entry-link cet-internal-link" data-vars-item-name="" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="3" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318928-3559101-DimitriPittasSarahShaferAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" data-vars-target-content-type="feed" data-vars-type="web_internal_link" data-vars-unit-name="5be3781be4b0b83d9e85fbb1" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318928-3559101-DimitriPittasSarahShaferAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" role="link"><img alt="2015-06-26-1435318928-3559101-DimitriPittasSarahShaferAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver.jpg" height="386" src="https://images.huffingtonpost.com/2015-06-26-1435318928-3559101-DimitriPittasSarahShaferAnnaCaterinaAntonacci.PhotoCoryWeaver-thumb.jpg" width="521"/></a><br/> Dimitri Pittas, Sarah Shafer, Anna Caterina Antonacci.

That is the reason I do new operas and want to know what's next - something I didn't know before. That's the way you get better - how you figure out what you're actually good at. Not by putting yourself in a little box - 'This role is for me.' That's not really being an artist. An artist is always looking for the next thing, always thinking - 'What can happen here?

Nevada GOP Is Trying To Use Recalls To Overturn Last Year’s Election Results https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nevada-gop-recall-elections_n_6110bb79e4b0ed63e656346d nevada-gop-is-trying-to-use-recalls-to-overturn-last-year’s-election-results Even the state's Republican governor has called the move "dangerous."

In August, Republicans filed recall petitions against three senators ― two Democrats and an independent who caucuses with them. None of the three are accused of malfeasance or wrongdoing, which is in any case not required by state law. Michael Roberson, the Republicans’ Senate leader, has simply called for their ouster on the grounds that Democrats generally have been “radicalized.” Roberson has also not hid his party’s real agenda, telling voters last month that Republicans would “be back in the majority almost immediately” and that they would remain in power until after the 2020 census, when new electoral maps will be drawn, according to the Nevada Independent. On Monday, supporters of the Republican effort submitted more than 17,000 signatures calling for a recall of state Sen. Joyce Woodhouse (D). Election officials will review and verify those signatures, but only 14,412 need to be valid to force a recall vote. Nevada law provides for a recall election if a petition gathers the signatures of 25 percent of the people who voted in the earlier election won by the lawmaker. Petitions with sufficient signatures are expected to be filed against the other two senators ― Democrat Nicole Cannizzaro and independent Patricia Farley ― in early November, the Independent reports. Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) told the news outlet that he didn’t think there was a “legitimate reason” for the recalls and said they would set a “dangerous precedent.” “It’s an escalation of tactics, and I said, I hate to see that happen,” Sandoval said. “It’s never happened before, but it probably will likely become another typical arrow in the quiver for both parties. I hope it doesn’t, but again, if it’s successful, and the voters do recall these individuals, I can’t see why all of them wouldn’t use it going forward.” The state has seen 150 recall efforts since 1993, the last year a legislator was successfully ousted, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. It’s unclear who is funding the latest campaign, and those pushing it don’t have to disclose their identity until four days before the special election, if one is called. Woodhouse, who last year won re-election to a third term by just 469 votes, may have been targeted because of her support for sanctuary city legislation, according to the Nevada Independent. “This politically motivated recall effort has been an affront to voters and a blatant abuse of the process by individuals who are unfortunately still bitter about the results of the last election,” Woodhouse said in a statement. The state senator vowed to monitor the signature verification process and to defend her “record of accomplishment.” Democrats have launched an effort to reach out to people who signed the petitions to ask them if they understand the implications of recall elections and if that kind of electoral upset is what they really want. Republicans are “wasting time and taxpayer dollars on these unnecessary recall efforts,” said Jessica Post, executive director of the national Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, in a statement on Monday. Post’s organization helps elect Democrats to state legislatures. A federal lawsuit brought on behalf of voters living in the three senatorial districts argues that the recall effort violates the Voting Rights Act as well as the First and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. In Nevada, people can force a recall election for “no reason other than dissatisfaction with the outcome of the prior election,” the lawsuit says. The current effort places an undue burden on voters in the three relevant districts, the suit contends. “Nevada voters are perpetually at risk of: (i) having their casted votes nullified by an unjustified recall; (ii) bearing the undue burden of having to vote again and again to ensure that their elected officials can serve out full terms; and (iii) having the attention, time, and resources of their elected officials diverted to defending against recalls rather than governing and making policy,” the suit contends. The lawyers behind the legal challenge include Washington attorney Marc Elias, who served as general counsel to Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The Public Interest Legal Foundation, which is led by J. Christian Adams, a member of President Donald Trump’s voter fraud commission, filed a motion to intervene in the case on Monday. In a statement, the foundation argued that the plaintiffs were using a flawed interpretation of the Voting Rights Act and trying to impose an unconstitutional restriction on the state of Nevada. The statement also noted Elias’ involvement. <div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Nevada <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/republican-party">Republicans</a> took a significant step Monday in their plan to take back control of the state Legislature through a series of recall elections ― an effort even the state’s GOP governor has criticized as “dangerous.”</p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p><a href="https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/democratic-party">Democrats</a> <a class="js-entry-link cet-external-link" data-vars-item-name="won control" data-vars-item-type="text" data-vars-position-in-subunit="0" data-vars-subunit-name="article_body" data-vars-subunit-type="component" data-vars-target-content-id="https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/nevada/democratic-party-set-to-regain-control-of-state-assembly-senate/" data-vars-target-content-type="url" data-vars-type="web_external_link" data-vars-unit-name="59f8b778e4b046017faf3f25" data-vars-unit-type="buzz_body" href="https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/nevada/democratic-party-set-to-regain-control-of-state-assembly-senate/" role="link" target="_blank">won control</a> of both houses of the Nevada Legislature last November and currently hold a slim 11-9 majority in the state Senate.

An afternoon in late December, 2016 at a crowded mall in suburban New Jersey. Shoppers wait in line at the Customer Service Desk, next to a Santa Claus booth with long lines of children. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: May I help you? SHOPPER ONE: Yes, please. I have a question. Do you know anything about your Santa Claus? CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: Santa Claus? SHOPPER ONE: Right over there. I can't see through the door. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: You have to pay and get a ticket first. SHOPPER TWO: The line is over there. SHOPPER ONE: I know. I don't really want to pay for my godson to see him if he's white. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: What? SHOPPER ONE: I was asking because, in all of my forty five years shopping in this mall I've never seen a Black Santa, or a Santa of any color. SHOPPER TWO: I never thought about that. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: Neither have I, but why does it matter if he's white? SHOPPER ONE: Maybe it doesn't. Maybe it matters if he's not white. SHOPPER TWO: Why should that matter? SHOPPER ONE: Is there some sort of unofficial Santa Claus policy? CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: I don't think so. But the mall isn't in charge of Santa Claus. SHOPPER ONE: I guess that's a good thing. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: I was told the whole operation is a Dreamworks contract. SHOPPER ONE: OK. But a contract with whom or what? The mall, right? SHOPPER TWO: You don't want a white Santa Claus? SHOPPER ONE: I think it's good to have different people playing Santa Claus. Lots of different people. I don't want to have to go to West Philly or Chinatown to take my godson to see a Santa Claus of color. SHOPPER TWO: Why not? SHOPPER ONE: Why should I? If I have to I will. I just don't understand why this mall has never had a Black Santa. Or a Santa in a wheelchair....or lots of other sorts of Santas and helpers. SHOPPER TWO: That Santa does have Black helpers. SHOPPER ONE: Of course he does. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: I haven't been inside the booth, but I know Santa isn't in a wheelchair. SHOPPER TWO: You want Santa in a wheelchair? SHOPPER ONE: No. I don't mean---- SHOPPER TWO: Santa should be the same everywhere. SHOPPER ONE: Maybe. SHOPPER TWO: What's wrong with the Santa in there? I took my son last week. He loved it. I think he's a good Santa. SHOPPER ONE: Why is the Default Santa white? SHOPPER TWO: What's a Default Santa? SHOPPER ONE: If Santa should be the same everywhere, why can't the Default Santa be Chinese? Maybe Santa should be Chinese everywhere. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: I don't know what you mean by a 'Default Santa'. I thought you were looking for a Black Santa, not a Chinese Santa. SHOPPER ONE: I was. I am. SHOPPER TWO: You just said you wanted a Chinese Santa. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: I can ask someone from the mall to contact you regarding your question. Or you can write a comment slip. The CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON hands SHOPPER ONE a comment slip with a pencil. SHOPPER ONE: Good Lord. I'm tight on time. I'll leave my comments on the mall's website. CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON: I'm sorry I couldn't help you. SHOPPER TWO: At least you can go to a Default Santa in Chinatown. Right? Good luck. SHOPPER ONE begins to walk away, then turns back. SHOPPER ONE: Why can't the mall Santa be Black one year, and Chinese the next? Why am I searching for a hyphenated Santa? Why can't I go to Chinatown to see a Chinese Santa, and then come to my local mall and see a Santa who is Chinese? Would that be impossible? Why does Default Santa always have to be white? Why does Santa have to be either-or? Why can't Santa be both-and? Why can't the mall Santa be Black one year, and Chinese the next? CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON and SHOPPER TWO stare at SHOPPER ONE. SHOPPER ONE: OK. OK. You know what? Merry Christmas. And SHOPPER ONE leaves without purchasing a Santa Claus ticket for her godson.

My daughter makes me a better person simply by being herself. raising kids,Kids,Parenting ,Children,Parents,Wisdom,Happiness www.huffpost.com HuffPost Parenting Jenn Lyons https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/default-entry.jpg?ops=1778_1000 en-US Each day, we parents carry the responsibility of guiding our children along the best possible path, giving them every opportunity and imparting as much wisdom as possible so they have a solid sense of self and are able to make good decisions. The crazy thing about being a parent is that you think your job is the guide, the caretaker, the planner, the fixer, and even the entertainer, but along the way you revisit and relearn lessons that make you stronger and wiser. I think through each detail of my daughter's life, to the point of obsessing, as I know many parents do. She will encounter so many situations that will be out of my control, but at age five, many of her experiences are still under my careful watch. However, in the mist of the whirlwind of parenting, I've found that while I help guide her, she also guides me in reflecting lessons and values that are key to who I am. I recently read this guidance in her eyes -- lit up with excitement and filled with genuine enthusiasm for the joy of the moment -- when we had planned a fun day together. Her reaction reminded me we should approach each day as an adventure in which the outcome isn't always certain. My daughter makes me a better person simply by being herself. I am a better person because she... Lives in the moment Kids are a natural study in mindfulness. They note small things along their daily journey and are never in a rush. Anyone who has tried to leave the house to make a timely appointment with a 5-year-old knows it is never a straight forward or easy task. Using phrases such as "we're late" or "we need to hurry" only guarantees an instant slowdown. For a while, I thought she was being intentionally difficult because she could sense I was moving from stressed to full-on panic. But now I see that, to her, nothing earth-shattering will happen if it takes an extra 30 seconds to notice the rain has let up or to give an extra-long hug. And, without exception, the day starts infinitely better with an extra 30 seconds of embrace, rather than a quick peck. In her unhurried state, she also notices little things that make her smile: a lady bug on the windowsill; a kite flying overhead; or a cloud that looks like a puppy. When I slow down and assume a more natural, unrushed pace I see the same: the glinting highlights in her hair and the clouds reflecting in her cool blue eyes. I try to remember that nothing earth-shattering will happen if I take a few seconds to slow down during the day, and without exception, the day is infinitely better when I do. Doesn't take life too seriously When she's carrying a plastic plate filled with toy food and it spills, she pauses and bursts into hysterical laughter. If she trips over something and takes a small tumble, she cracks up. Little mishaps are not stressors to her, they are comedic fodder. Likewise, when something falls over or spills, it used to register to me as additional stress, yet another thing to clean up or fix to restore order. Now when something goes haywire, her instinctual laughter reminds me to see the comedy in the moment, turning potential stress to comedic relief. Holds me to my word Kids have a wonderful knack of being completely literal and forgetting nothing. If they ask to go to the park and you respond "maybe" -- even though it was meant as a "probably not" -- you can be sure they will revisit the request in short order, believing the possibility still exists. Many times I have heard the logical argument of "but you said 'maybe' which means we might 'go!'" Raising a child has required me to be much more thoughtful of what I say and what I commit to because she doesn't miss one beat. If I don't follow through on a commitment, she vocalizes her disappointment that others may feel but not say, reminding me how important it is to be fair about what I commit to but then stay true to my word and follow through. Reminds me of the Golden Rule Perhaps the hardest lesson my daughter encounters on a daily basis is learning to treat other kids the way she would want them to treat her. She is heartbroken when she feels left out, yet I've seen her leave others out when she is involved with a group activity. We talk almost daily about the importance of including the kids who are left out, the way she wants to be included when she is the one on the outside. As a child I took the Golden Rule for granted, something to be recited without much thought. As a parent, revisiting the Golden Rule in daily interactions reminds me to acknowledge each person I encounter the way we want to be acknowledged. In difficult situations, I am reminded to act with an understanding and respect I would like others to show me under similar circumstances. There are a million and one ways our children influence and shape who we are. These four have had a significant shift on my daily perspective and help ground my thoughts and decisions. For this, I consider my daughter to be one of my greatest guides. <div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p>Each day, we parents carry the responsibility of guiding our children along the best possible path, giving them every opportunity and imparting as much wisdom as possible so they have a solid sense of self and are able to make good decisions.

The Best Nighttime Skin Care Routine For Every Decade Of Life, From Your 20s To 80s https://www.huffpost.com/entry/best-nighttime-skin-care-routine-every-age_l_61e084bbe4b0f6b1933afe69 the-best-nighttime-skin-care-routine-for-every-decade-of-life,-from-your-20s-to-80s Experts share the products you should use across different decades and life changes, from your 20s to your 80s. shopping,Beauty, aging,skin care www.huffpost.com HuffPost Style & Beauty Fani Mari https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/61e09a24260000c7ee3d2a6e.jpeg?cache=fD32TnZZWY&ops=1778_1000 en-US What does the term “nighttime routine” bring to mind? If you’re a skin care aficionado, it may be your favorite part of your everyday routine. But if all the different products available to you feel overwhelming, don’t worry — we’ve enlisted the help of skin care experts to share the perfect nighttime routine for each decade of your life, from your 20s to your 80s. Our skin changes over time due to various factors such as age, environmental issues, lifestyle changes and more. So it makes sense that the products a 20-something uses aren’t suitable throughout their life, and it’s important to make that distinction to support the skin’s needs. Our skin is our largest organ, after all. The routines below serve as a general guide, depending on the needs of your skin during each decade of your life ― they cannot, of course, apply to everyone. But here’s one tip that does: Be gentle and have a consistent routine that won’t compromise your skin barrier. “I always say to my patients: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So it is always great to start incorporating key skin care ingredients early on, even before a problem develops,” Marisa Garshick, a board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology in New York, told HuffPost. She added that new products should only be added one at a time, and they should be layered from thinnest to thickest. In your 20s Having a basic, solid routine in your 20s is crucial. You can start by incorporating a retinoid to help with skin texture and to brighten your skin, according to Devan Jesmer, an aesthetician at Skin Remedy MD in north Texas. Plus, retinoids such as adapalene can help with breakouts that many people continue to have in their 20s, said both Jesmer and Garshick. Even though we are focusing on nighttime routines, it’s worth noting that sunscreen should be part of your daily morning skin care. “It’s always good to start the habit of sunscreen early and commit to it long term to get the most benefit,” Garshick said. “Sunburns, even in childhood and adolescence, can impact the long-term skin cancer risk.” All the experts agreed on the importance of double cleansing, which thoroughly cleans the skin and removes makeup and sunscreen. If you’ve got oily skin, opt for a gel or foaming cleanser, and if your skin is on the dry side, choose a creamy or hydrating one, Garshick said. You can use two different cleansers for double cleansing — like a balm followed by a gel — or you can use the same cleanser twice. Jesmer’s proposed routine in your 20s: Cleansing balm: Naturium Purple Ginseng Cleansing Balm Gentle cleanser: Paula’s Choice Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser Retinol serum: First Aid Beauty Fab Skin Lab Retinol Serum A mid-weight moisturizer: CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion Garshick’s proposed routine in your 20s: Face wash: Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser for dry skin, The Inkey List Salicylic Acid Cleanser for oily skin Toner: Thayers Witch Hazel Facial Toner or Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Toner Retinol: Differin Gel Moisturizer: CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion In your 30s By your 30s, a stronger retinoid (like retinaldehyde) is advised. A retinoid eye product may also be beneficial, Jesmer said, as well as weekly exfoliation. “When introducing a retinoid into a skin care routine, it is best to start low and slow, only using it two or three times per week and gradually increasing the frequency,” Garshick said, adding the caveat that retinoids shouldn’t be used if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. ”For someone with dry or sensitive skin, it may be best to apply the moisturizer prior to the retinoid to reduce the potential for irritation.” During this decade of your life, “the skin tends to get a little bit drier and collagen levels are starting to slowly decrease, but visible signs of aging are still minimal. The goal is to maintain our collagen stores and even glowy complexion,” Cristina Psomadakis, a dermatologist in London, told HuffPost. Garshisk explained that we actually lose 1% of collagen every year during our 20s, and this becomes more obvious in our 30s in terms of appearance and fine lines. Jesmer’s proposed routine in your 30s: Cleansing balm: Paula’s Choice Omega+ Complex Cleansing Balm Gentle cleanser: La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser Retinaldehyde serum: Sachi Skin Ursolic Acid & Retinal Overnight Reform Eye cream: Skinbetter EyeMax AlphaRet Overnight Eye Cream Cream-based moisturizer: Make Beauty Hibernation Capsule Overnight Recovery Balm In your 40s In your 40s, focusing on replenishing collagen production is key. “If you can get your hands on prescription tretinoin, this is the most powerful form of retinol on the market and available via your dermatologist,” Psomadakis said. Cell turnover, which is our skin’s ability to renew its cells, slows down with age, and that’s why an exfoliating product might be beneficial. This will help remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, and the skin will appear smoother. An exfoliator can be a cleanser, exfoliating pads, toner or serum. If your skin is sensitive, pick your exfoliator carefully, something like mandelic acid or lactic acid, or a polyhydroxy acid such as gluconolactone, Garshick said. “For those with more normal to oily skin types, glycolic acid or salicylic acid can be considered, respectively,” she said. “It is best to avoid exfoliating the same nights that you use your retinoid to minimize the chance of irritation and to limit exfoliation to one to two times per week.” Psomadakis’ proposed routine in your 40s: Gentle face wash: The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser Serum: Sachi Triphala Pigmentation Corrector (on alternate nights with retinoid) Retinol: Prescription or SkinBetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Cream Cream-based moisturizer: SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 or The Inkey List Peptide Moisturizer Garshick’s proposed routine in your 40s: Face wash: La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser Treatment serum: L’Oreal Paris Revitalift 10% Pure Glycolic Acid Serum or First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads Retinol: Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream Eye cream/treatment: Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks Moisturizer: Revision DEJ Face Cream In your 50s Skin laxity tends to be a big concern in our 50s, Garshick said, explaining, “People start to notice jowls forming as well as textural changes in the neck.” It may be beneficial to add a separate neck cream in this decade. Other ingredients that may help include peptides, growth factors and antioxidants like resveratrol and vitamin C. Garshick’s proposed routine in your 50s: Face wash: Dove Beauty Cream Bar Serum: Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Instant Firming Serum Retinol: Naturium Retinol Complex Serum Eye cream: SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Eye Complex Neck cream: DRMTLGY Advanced Neck Cream Moisturizer: Olay Night of Olay Firming Night Cream Psomadakis’ proposed routine in your 50s: Gentle face wash: Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Serum: NIOD Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex Exfoliator (once or twice a week): Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel Pads Retinol: Allies of Skin Retinal & Peptides Repair Night Cream or Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Max Cream-based moisturizer: SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 or Swiss Line Cell Shock Luxe-Lift Rich Cream or CeraVe Night Renewing Cream In your 60s “Brown spots and hyperpigmentation are often a concern in your 60s, so while everything else still remains important, it is a good time to consider products and serums that also work to lighten discoloration and reduce pigmentation,” Garshick said. The ingredients you should look into include antioxidants, alpha arbutin, tranexamic acid, kojic acid, niacinamide and azelaic acid. Retinoids continue to be essential as well as sunscreen in the morning. Garshick’s proposed routine in your 60s: Face wash: Glytone Mild Gel Cleanser Serum: SkinBetter Science Even Tone Correcting Serum or Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Treatment Serum Retinol: Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1, but if retinol cannot be tolerated, then Isdin Isdinceutics Melatonik Eye cream: Pond’s Rejuveness Lifting & Brightening Eye Cream Neck cream: StriVectin TL Advanced Tightening Neck Cream Plus Moisturizer: ReVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream In your 70s The skin loses moisture as we age, so we have to replenish that with topical products and moisturizing creams, Garshick said. “It may also be important to adjust the frequency of exfoliation, as well as the frequency and strength of the retinoid use if the skin begins to feel too dry, and look for products that help to repair the skin barrier,” she told HuffPost. Garshick’s proposed routine in your 70s: Face wash: Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser Serum: Vichy Mineral 89 Prebiotic Recovery and Defense Concentrate Retinol: RoC Retinol Correxion Eye cream: Colorescience Total Eye Firm and Repair Cream Neck cream: Alastin Restorative Neck Complex Moisturizer: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream In your 80s Hydration is more important than ever at this stage. Garshick recommended ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which contains humectants that will draw moisture in the skin, as well as firming peptides. For cleansing, a micellar might be preferred as a gentler option. Garshick’s proposed routine in your 80s: Face wash: Simple Micellar Cleansing Water Serum: PCA SKIN Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum Retinol: Shani Darden Retinol Reform Eye cream: Garnier SkinActive Ultra-Lift Anti-Aging Eye Cream with Pro-Retinol Neck cream: Neocutis Neo Firm Neck and Décolleté Tightening Cream Moisturizer: SkinFix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Face Cream When in doubt, listen to your skin and consult a skin specialist who will be able to recommend products to suit your specific concerns. Also, remember that active ingredients such as retinoids take eight to 12 weeks of consistent use for noticeable results, so patience and consistency are key. If you catch any signs of irritation or sensitivity, strip back your routine to the basics. HuffPost may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page.

This will help remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, and the skin will appear smoother. An exfoliator can be a cleanser, exfoliating pads, toner or serum. If your skin is sensitive, pick your exfoliator carefully, something like mandelic acid or lactic acid, or a polyhydroxy acid such as gluconolactone, Garshick said.</span></p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“For those with more normal to oily skin types, glycolic acid or salicylic acid can be considered, respectively,” she said. “It is

style="font-weight: 400;">When in doubt, listen to your skin and consult a skin specialist who will be able to recommend products to suit your specific concerns. Also, remember that active ingredients such as retinoids take eight to 12 weeks of consistent use for noticeable results, so patience and consistency are key. If you catch any signs of irritation or sensitivity, strip back your routine to the basics.</span></p></div><div class="primary-cli cli cli-text"><p><em>HuffPost may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page.

Easter Craft: Eggshell Vases https://www.huffpost.com/entry/easter-craft-eggshell-vas_b_7000026 easter-craft:-eggshell-vases Easter floral creations don't need to be boring or expected, right? Let me show you how to transform a few simple eggs into an impressive table centerpiece... huffpost home,Crafts,DIY ,egg-crafts www.huffpost.com HuffPost Home & Living Maria Rodale https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/default-entry.jpg?ops=1778_1000 en-US by guest blogger Mark Kintzel, designer Easter floral creations don't need to be boring or expected, right? Let me show you how to transform a few simple eggs into an impressive table centerpiece... You'll need: Eggs Spoon Acrylic paint Small craft brushes Toothbrush (for speckling) Flowers of choice Here's how you do it: 1. Using a spoon, gently crack open the top of an egg then peel away the eggshell until you have a hole the size you desire (large enough to insert the stems of your flowers). 2. Turn the egg upside down and pour the insides into a bowl to save for cooking or baking. 3. Carefully rinse the inside of the eggshell with soapy water and set it aside to dry. Repeat with all the eggs you'll be using. 4. Paint the eggs the color of your choice and set aside to dry. If you want to speckle the eggs, paint them pale blue, green, or off-white--those are the most natural-looking color choices for speckled eggs. Once you've painted the eggs, allow them to dry completely. 5. For the speckle effect: Dip a toothbrush in a small amount of brown acrylic paint and run your finger over the toothbrush, letting the paint splatter onto the eggs. Allow the paint to dry, and you have some awesome speckled eggs! 6. Fill the eggs with a bit of water and add flowers. Display your Easter eggshell vases in eggcups, or group several eggs together in a twig nest. I tucked mine inside nooks and crannies of stumps and used a sheet of bark as a tray. Stumps and bark courtesy of our backyard. Happy Easter! Mark Kintzel comes from a long line of crafters, artists, musicians, and farm folk.
