An insiders guide to the world’s only caviar-DNA-infused $1,000 facial – New York Post

Posted: at 6:46 am

A minimum wage worker in NYC makes $600 a week before taxes but I just blew $1,000 on a facial.

I belong to a small cult of spa aficionados who faithfully trek around the world to sample exclusivefacialscreated by LaMaison Valmont,a family-owned Swiss beauty company, known for combining science with old world traditions and natural ingredients (think pure Swiss glacier water).

Valmont partners with only a handful of spas on earth to create a unique, results-driven beauty experience that sculpts, lifts, brightens and costs the same as a pair of Louboutin pumps.

Its touted as the most expensivefacialin the world.

Spa buffs trudge to Paris, Miami, New York, Laguna Beach or Las Vegas just for the honor of dropping a G on their age-worn visages. Each resort boasts a slightly different flavor of facial. SoI schlepped to Texas toLake Austin SpaResort (or a 45-minute drive from downtown Austin) to try The Regal facial.

Nobody hands over a grand without expecting results. But after so much time cocooned in a chair, I couldnt help but fear that the mirror would show the same old me the pandemics anxiety-filled days showing metaphorical egg on my once flawless face. Horrors.

But I never shy away from high stakes.

With some trepidation, I put my nose to the grindstone, determined to see if three hours, five masks (one a collagen veil which covers the eyes and mouth), two cleanings, an enzyme peel, a half hour of HydraFacial (a sucking machine revered for its exfoliation and extracting abilities), an LED light treatment, a variety of Valmont creams made from such extravagances as sturgeon DNA and four types of massage (most notably Japanese-style Kobido, a 540-year-old technique renowned for sculpting, toning and oxygenating theface) would actually have a transformative effect.

In other words, could it possibly be worth the money?

My husband was doubtful. Luckily, I didnt have to loseface. I reminded him that a thousand felt like a bargain compared to the $25,000 facelift Id been considering.

I cant say that I managed to stay awake the entire time because who will not be lulled to sleep in a warm bed when somebodys lightly, but deftly, caressing your temples and scalp? Mostly, though, like a somnambulist, my mind buzzed dreamily during the various steps, each moving me more deeply into a pleasantly aware, hypnotic state. In fact, the time flewby.

When the three-hour spa adventure ended, I not only felt younger, I looked convincingly renewed like myself, but 20-years younger. I even got carded later that afternoon at a bar, where a handsome stranger not only enquired if my daughter was my sister, but also asked me out on a date. (If my husbands reading this, I declined.)

In short, this spa treatment was the equivalent of an all-you-can-eat gourmet buffet for theface. But it does result in a sharp intake of breath when a bill for $1,050, not including tip or tax, arrives. Worth it?

You look like a million dollars, my husband said.

Actually, darling, it wasntthatexpensive, I replied. It only cost $1,000.

Alberto Fernndez and another questionable diplomatic maneuver in China: "If you were Argentine, you would be a Peronist" – Then24.com

Posted: at 6:45 am

If you were Argentine, you would be a Peronist. President Alberto Fernandez returned to star in a particular moment with his pair of China, Xi Jinping, who did not hesitate to characterize him as one more follow of the former president Juan Domingo Peron. This intervention by the Head of State reveals the politically incorrect diplomacy of his management and recalls the precedent of John Dominic Biden.

If you were Argentine, you would be a PeronistFernandez told the Chinese leader as the nearly hour-long meeting at the Great Hall of the People was drawing to a close, the Tlam agency reported. According to those present on stage, the intervention aroused laughter and crowned a meeting that was described by the spokesmen as relaxed and very cordial.

However, this pearl adds another item to a diplomatic history of the president full of contradictory episodes. In May 2021, during an official act, the Head of State tried to draw a parallel between the management of the Front of All and the new United States Government led by Joe Biden, whom he called Juan Domingo Biden.

I remember when not long ago the covers of the Argentine newspapers celebrated that Amazon did not allow its workers to unionize. Yesterday John Dominic Biden He called for unionization as a way to promote social rights in the United States, emphasized the national president during the act.

This Sunday, the national official appealed to the same resource to captivate the tribune despite the fact that it is a gesture that does not move the ammeter of international relations. On the contrary, the intervention could be read as a new buffoonery by pigeonholing the leaders of the two world powers as Peronists when both Beijing and Washington consider the other nation as an enemy.

This last Friday, Alberto Fernndez was also the cover of the newspapers after his controversial intervention during the meeting with the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin. At the beginning of the meeting, the Argentine Head of State raised with the Kremlin leader: I am determined that Argentina has to stop having such a great dependence on the Fund and the United States, it has to make its way to other sides and Russia has a very important place there.

We have to see how Argentina becomes Russias gateway to Latin America in a more decisive way, he added. The declarations resonated strongly in the midst of the negotiation with the IMF to agree on a new plan in order to be able to face the payment of the 45 billion debt that the country maintains with the organization.

‘SNL’: Best Comedy Sketches About the Olympics – Vulture

Posted: at 6:45 am

With all the pomp, pageantry, and superhuman performances, the Olympics are a biannual source of absurdity and thus ripe for comedic gold. Therefore, its only natural that Saturday Night Live would take a few shots at the Games when they roll around, finding laughs in the outsize personalities of the athletes, the unceasing and sometimes overwrought NBC coverage, and the fact that most of us mere mortals could never come close to competing at such high levels.

In celebration of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics kicking off, heres a look back at the best SNL sketches that parodied the athletes and events. Enjoy the sketches and the Games!

Olga Korbut (1976)

With only one punch line, Gilda Radner, playing Russian gymnast Olga Korbut, and John Belushi, playing a European-accented version of himself, perfectly send up how ridiculous it is for athletes to pretend to be diplomatic after a crushing defeat.

Little Chocolate Donuts (1977)

How does Belushi get the energy he needs to win gold in the decathlon? With cigarettes and the sugar he gets from eating these treats every morning.

Synchronized Swimming (1984)

This brief mockumentary is an all-time SNL great with Martin Short and Harry Shearer playing brothers who are aiming to become the first men to compete in synchronized swimming. Christopher Guest plays a coach with the same vibe hed later bring to Waiting for Guffmans Corky St. Clair, and Shearer and Short play the kind of deluded oddball dreamers that would populate all of his films.

The All-Drug Olympics (1988)

Steroids were always a big issue during the 80s Olympics, particularly after their widespread use at the 1980 Moscow games. This Weekend Update segment with Kevin Nealon and Phil Hartman looks at what would happen if the events included only athletes who were juicing with particularly gruesome results.

Figure Skating Cold Open (1992)

In a spot-on parody of those Olympic moments when an athlete just blows it on the biggest stage, Jason Priestly enthusiastically and believably pulls off a bunch of figure-skating moves that end in disaster.

Lillehammer 94 (1994)

Rather than poke more fun at host Nancy Kerrigans assault by Tonya Hardings goons, SNL spoofed pairs figure skating with Chris Farley playing her on-ice partner whose massive weight gain has severely hurt their chances at medaling. Its another reminder of how agile Farley truly was, made even funnier by the gentle commentary of Phil Hartman and David Spade and the soundtrack of Kenny G and Pump Up the Jam.

Kerri Strug and Kippy Strug on Winning Olympic Gold (1996)

After the badly injured Kerri Strug helped Team USA win gymnastics gold in 1996, she stopped by Weekend Update to discuss the moment alongside her equally high-pitched brother, Kippy (Chris Kattan). Mark McKinney appears as her infamously overbearing coach, Bla Krolyi, to encourage Kippy to power through to their next interview despite the fact that his foot has fallen asleep.

SNL Olympics Chris Kattan (2000)

Rather than spoof an actual event, SNL in 2000 sent up NBCs prerecorded behind-the-scenes Olympic segments that give an overly dramatic look at an athletes journey to the games. Here, we see Kattan with an assist from Brendan Fraser and a disqualified-for-doping Tracy Morgan as he readies himself to compete in an upcoming talk-show sketch, Looks at Books. (Watch the sketch here.)

Mormons on the Slopes (2002)

Dan Aykroyd made a return appearance to the show to join Will Ferrell as a pair of Mormons who take to the Salt Lake City slopes and try to convert a skiing Amy Poehler in the middle of her run. It hits on the typical Mormon jokes the overly pushy recruitment, the polygamy, etc. but its still a fun one.

Swimming Instructor (2006)

If you want to become a world-class swimmer, you go to Doug Frangelo. Played by John C. Reilly, the coach instructs Will Forte in the art of the pool, with nearly six minutes full of Speedo-laden, homoerotic gags. Their ability to not break character is astounding.

The Michael Phelps Diet (2008)

If you watched Michael Phelpss record-shattering performance at the 2008 Olympics, you probably heard announcers discussing his massive caloric intake. The swimmer hosted SNL during his post-Games victory lap to tout his absurd diet to average people, which spoiler alert has grave consequences. Dont watch if you cant stomach seeing Subway pitchman Jared Fogle appearing as himself and saying, This diet sucks a foot-long.

Telemundo Winter Olympics (2010)

The premise here is that Telemundos announcers, played by Jennifer Lopez and Fred Armisen, cant understand cold-weather sports or why Canadians dont leave their country for the warmth. Regardless of the premise, you have to admit that ski jumping and curling are pretty strange pastimes for anyone to get into.

Ryan Lochte on the Fall TV Lineup (2012)

Four years before getting caught lying about being robbed at gunpoint during the Rio Olympics, Ryan Lochte was simply known as being a somewhat dim but physically gifted swimmer. SNL ran with the former trait in this Weekend Update segment in which Lochte, played by Seth MacFarlane, talks about upcoming TV shows with all the smarts of a kindergartener. The real Lochte called it harsh and added, Im going to let whatever Seth MacFarlane did Im just going to let it be and just move forward. But anytime Seth wants to race me in a pool, Ill be more than happy to.

The U.S. Mens Heterosexual Figure Skating Championship (2014)

In 2014, SNL decided to take on the Sochi Olympics, which were under scrutiny for myriad reasons including Russias anti-LGBTQ laws, with another figure-skating spoof in which only straight men are allowed to compete. Robbed of the events usual flair, the competitors instead put on a display of oafish masculinity, eating Combos on the ice and getting overly handsy with a female partner, among other desecrations of the sport.

Olya Povlatsky on the Sochi Olympics (2014)

Kate McKinnons downtrodden Russian villager character, Olya Povlatsky, returned to Weekend Update in 2014 to discuss Sochi and wonder why the IOC picked this random city to host the event. This iteration features a bunch of McKinnons trademark bizarreness like when she explains her favorite childhood sport, running away from angry wolf.

Leslie Jones on the 2018 Winter Olympics (2018)

During the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Leslie Jones went viral by live-tweeting along with NBCs coverage, hilariously and passionately dissecting the events even when she didnt understand them. The tweets were such a hit that the network sent her down to South America to work as a correspondent, and she returned to the role two years later for the Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. She came back to Weekend Update to give a recap of the experience, bringing along U.S. Womens Hockey gold medalist Hilary Knight to give Colin Jost a special message: Yous a bitch!

Men must have imbizo to tackle social ills – SowetanLIVE

Posted: at 6:45 am

For the past four years, social media has been abuzz with an imaginary gathering termed the men's conference, which is apparently organised by men between February 13 and 15, to avoid spoiling their partners on Valentine's Day.

While I commend the humour behind this abstract conference, let me point out that there is actually a serious need for a real men's conference in the country.

Given the high levels of femicide incidents, gender-based violence (GBV), women and child abuse, and many other social ills where men are predominantly the perpetrators, a conference to tackle these societal ills should actually be established.

Imagine hundreds of men under one roof discussing how they can contribute towards ending GBV, child neglect, femicide and women abuse? Let us think of all the solutions, encouragement and mobilisation that would be achieved inside these halls.

GBV continues to be a thorn in the flesh of prosperity and progress, so staging a men's conference where issues of this nature are addressed, discussed and analysed would go a long way in tackling conflicts within families and beyond.

Other topics such as the spread of HIV and Aids, unfaithfulness, polygamy and patriarchy would also be dealt with. There is indeed a need for a moral regeneration summit for men in the wake of the endless cases of wrongdoing from their side. Abused men would also have the platform to air their grievances and be advised how they can go about addressing them.

A better society can be built if we can transform our imagination into reality. The popularity of this imaginary gathering among men on social media is proof that men can actually meet and talk about pertinent issues for the benefit of everybody.

From Brigham to Bamberger to Olive Osmond, display honors 60 who ‘shaped Utah’ – Salt Lake Tribune

Posted: at 6:45 am

Khosrow Semnani is an Iranian immigrant whose life in Utah has embodied the American dream.

The self-made millionaire was nearly penniless when he arrived in the Beehive State in 1968 and, through working at several menial jobs while taking undergraduate courses, was able to earn a degree from Westminster College in physical sciences. He went on to get a masters degree from the University of Utah in engineering administration, after which he launched hazardous waste companies, including Envirocare (now EnergySolutions), that proved extremely successful.

After selling that operation, Semnani began using his wealth to provide humanitarian service and promote liberty for the people of Iran, which he has not visited since 1975.

Throughout the decades, the philanthropist developed a great love for the United States and its endless possibilities.

He was visiting California a couple of years ago and stopped at an artists studio, which had an exhibit of photographs titled: People Who Shaped America. Semnani was moved by the faces of some who had influenced his adopted country, and it made him think about all the Utahns who had shaped his adopted state.

It would be great for kids who grow up here to get to know these people, Semnani said this week. It would also be great for tourists who come here to learn more about Utah and all the different people who have made it what it is.

So the industrialist asked Michael De Groote, Semnanis director of communications, to assemble a list of potential names and biographical details for an installation called They Shaped Utah. It went on display on the second floor of the historic Trolley Square shopping center, which Semnani owns, in December.

Each honoree is depicted by a newly colorized photographic illustration enhanced by artificial intelligence, De Groote said in a news release. The illustrations are accompanied by brief biographical summaries along with a QR code that leads to more information about each person.

Assembling the group of 60 shapers was, De Groote said in an interview, a complicated assignment.

It would, of course, include lots of Mormon historical figures like Brigham Young, second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Wilford Woodruff, the fourth president who introduced the Manifesto, which would mark the beginning of the end to the faiths participation polygamy. Susa Young Gates, Youngs daughter who was a leader among Latter-day Saint women, and Jane Manning James, a free African American Mormon who came west in 1847, are both among the honorees.

And one historic Latter-day Saint figure gunslinging Orrin Porter Rockwell undeniably shaped Utah in some ways, De Groote said, but was controversial.

(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) Khosrow Semnani presents They Shaped Utah, an exhibit of 60 prominent or underappreciated Utahns throughout history at Trolley Square, Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2022.

Semnani, a Muslim, insisted on showcasing leaders of other faiths, too, such as Silvestre de Escalante, a Franciscan friar-explorer, and Father Lawrence Scanlan, Utahs first Catholic bishop.

Then theres Simon Bamberger, the states fourth governor and its only Jewish one.

Many of the honorees hail from the 19th century, including Wakara, leader of the Timpanogo band of Utah, while others died much more recently like former Jazz owner Larry Miller, former Gov. Olene Walker, and innovative businessman Clayton Christensen.

Viewers also will find athletes such as Wataru Wat Misaka, who led the University of Utah to a national basketball title and became the NBAs first player of color.

Organizers also sought a gender balance but, because so many of the early shapers were men, they had to look a little wider for the women.

On top of that, they weighed the famous and not-so-famous, working to add a few surprises and some little-known figures.

(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) the new exhibit "They Shaped Utah" features 60 prominent or underappreciated Utahns throughout history at Trolley Square, Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2022.

William Showell, a pony express rider, is on the list, and so is Olive Osmond, mother of the famed performing group, who started the boys singing to raise money for hearing aids for her oldest two children.

We hope people will find familiar figures and some surprises, De Groote said, and that theyll learn a lot.

At the exhibits opening, Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson hailed its inclusion of so many women and underrepresented communities.

Ive always been a student of history, and I love learning about people especially about people who have either been written out or never written into our story, she said at the time. And yet, these have all been people who have contributed greatly to the fabric of our heritage in important, but often in forgotten ways.

Why is it that some stories get told and others get buried? What happens when we forget the parts of the past that help make us who we are today? Henderson asked. The answer isnt hard: When we forget where we come from, we cant properly understand where we are, and we are ill equipped to know where we should be going.

That is why, she said, this permanent exhibit is so valuable.

Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall, also on hand for the exhibits opening, pointed out how portraits of her predecessors hanging on the third floor of City Hall do not fully reflect the true history of Utah.

The states past and present are much more diverse than that, Mendenhall said. The state has always been shaped by diversity. Lets tell their stories.

The Trolley Square exhibit will be a welcome addition to the mural painted on the east side of the Dinwoody Building that features some 280 women from Utahs past and present. History is something that is never complete. Its never settled. Its never fully written, Henderson said. There are always perspectives to uncover and be heard.

She praised Semnani for working to uncover the stories of those who have had a seat at the table and are heard, she said. And even more importantly, to highlight those who havent had a voice or a seat at the table and have never been heard.

Semnanis team is now accepting suggestions for 40 more Utahns to be added to the exhibit.

I owe a lot to this state, Semnani said. I want others to take pride in it as I do.

Happy birthday to the great Ayn Rand Daily Breeze

Posted: at 6:44 am

Today marks the birthdate of one Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum, best known to the world as Ayn Rand.

Rand was born in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1905, witnessing the tremendous upheaval caused by war and communist revolution firsthand,

In 1926, she immigrated to the United States and pursued the classic American dream of becoming a screenwriter in Hollywood. Though she had limited success on the film and theatrical scene, she found her calling as a novelist.

In her early novels like We The Living, Anthem and The Fountainhead, she explored themes that would come to define her: the tyranny of the state against the individual, the menace of collectivistic philosophies and the will of individuals to triumph over oppression.

Her magnum opus Atlas Shrugged was published in 1957. The more than 1,000-page book tells the story of heroic, productive individuals and entrepreneurs suppressed by meddling bureaucrats. It was through this novel that Rand extensively spelled out her core philosophy celebrating rational self-interest, reason and individualism.

Its an approach perhaps best summarized by a key line in the novel, I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

Atlas Shrugged would go on to become an international success and a major influence on free market-minded conservatives and libertarians.

Until her death in 1982, Rand continued to write and appear on television programs valiantly defending individualism and capitalism, which she understood was essential to freeing individuals to put their creative energies to use.

Capitalism was the only system in history where wealth was not acquired by looting, but by production, not by force, but by trade, the only system that stood for mans right to his own mind, to his work, to his life, to his happiness, to himself, she wrote in Capitalism: The New Ideal.

While Rand is certainly a polarizing figure, with collectivistic progressives who usually havent read a single page of her work seemingly the most bothered by her, Rands personal story and extensive intellectual contributions to the cause of liberty are worthy of respect and critical engagement.

What motivates a creative thinker?

Is it a selfless desire to benefit mankind? A hunger for fame, fortune, and accolades? The need to prove superiority? Or is it a self-sufficient drive to pursue a creative vision, independent of others needs or opinions?

Ayn Rand addresses these questions through her portrayal of Howard Roark, an innovative architect who, as she puts it, struggles for the integrity of his creative work against every form of social opposition.

Initially rejected by twelve publishers as too intellectual,The Fountainheadbecame a best seller within two years purely through word of mouth, and earned Rand enduring commercial and artistic success.

The novel was also a personal landmark for Rand. In Howard Roark, she presented for the first time the uniquely Ayn Rand hero, whose depiction was the chief goal of her writing: the ideal man, man as he could be and ought to be.

In her first notes forThe Fountainhead, Ayn Rand describes its purpose as a defense of egoism in its real meaning . . . a new definition of egoism and its living example. She later states its theme as individualism versus collectivism, not in politics, but in mans soul; the psychological motivations and the basic premises that produce the character of an individualist or a collectivist.

The living example of egoism is Howard Roark, an architect and innovator, who breaks with tradition, [and] recognizes no authority but that of his own independent judgment. Roarks individualism is contrasted with the spiritual collectivism of many of the other characters, who are variations on the theme of second-handedness thinking, acting, and living second-hand.

Roark struggles to endure not merely professional rejection, but also the enmity of Ellsworth Toohey, beloved humanitarian and leading architectural critic; of Gail Wynand, powerful publisher; and of Dominique Francon, the beautiful columnist who loves him fervently yet is bent on destroying his career.

The Fountainheadearned Rand a lasting reputation as one of historys greatest champions of individualism.

Have you thought of your potential clients?

Yes, said Roark.

TheClient, said the Dean. The Client. Think of that above all. Hes the one to live in the house you build. Your only purpose is to serve him. You must aspire to give the proper artistic expression to his wishes. Isnt that all one can say on the subject?

Well, I could say that I must aspire to build for my client the most comfortable, the most logical, the most beautiful house that can be built. I could say that I must try to sell him the best I have and also teach him to know the best. I could say it, but I wont. Because I dont intend to build in order to serve or help anyone. I dont intend to build in order to have clients. I intend to have clients in order to build.

How do you propose to force your ideas on them?

I dont propose to force or be forced. Those who want me will come to me.
