Clarisonic’s growing line of cleansing brushes have been hugely popular for years—with good reason. The brush’s vibrations remove dirt and debris on the outer layer of the skin, giving you a better clean than washing your face the old fashioned way. “There is data showing that Clarisonic can more fully remove pollution from the skin than washing your face without the device,” says Dr. Zeichner, adding that it is gentle enough to be used across all skin types. “If you are acne prone this is one of the best tools you can get for at-home use,” dermatologist and RealSelf contributor Michele Green, M.D., tells SELF. “Because the brush cleans the skin and pores so well, it makes absorption of skin-care products easier.” Cosmetic dermatologist Anna Guanche, M.D., recommends the brush along with prescription cleansers for patients with acne and rosacea. She notes that some rosacea patients may be too sensitive to use it, but for those with oily, acne-prone skin, the method show really good results. The rave reviews are across the board. “I highly recommended the skin cleansing system, Clarisonic,” board certified dermatologist Debra Jaliman, M.D., tells SELF. “A Clarisonic brush can help you achieve smoother, healthier, and more radiant skin.”

Elvis Costello&the imposters and Blondie on tour!

Elvis Costello and Blondie music,books and videos Here Elvis Costello & The Imposters and Blondie Embark on Co-Headlining Summer Tour Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the nonprofit cultural center located at the site of the 1969 Woodstock festival, today announced that Elvis Costello & The Imposters and Blondie will perform at the center on Saturday, July 20th as the first stop on their coast-to-coast co-headlining tour. Elvis Costello and Blondie shared spots near the top of the UK Singles Chart 40 years ago when Blondie's "Heart Of Glass" sat neck-and-neck alongside Elvis Costello & The Attraction's "Oliver's Army" in the company of The Bee Gees, Gloria Gaynor and ABBA. The same week, Blondie's seminal album Parallel Lines reached #1 on the Album Chart while Costello's Armed Forces landed at #3. Elvis Costello & The Imposters' last tour in late 2018 found the combo reaching new live performance peaks. The band "came out swinging" (Star Tribune) in Minneapolis, were "unstoppable" in Anaheim (OC Register) and played an "epic and euphoric" (Variety) show in LA that even at nearly three hours "[left] 'em wanting more." The Imposters are: Steve Nieve (keyboards), J*Davey Faragher (bass) and Pete Thomas (drums). In 2017, Blondie hit the road in support of their most collaborative album yet, Pollinator (BMG). Their spectacular live shows drew acclaim for their "flair and precision" (Rolling Stone), while being called "formidable" (LA Weekly) and "artful, rocking" (City Pages). Pollinator was praised by the likes of New York Times, Rolling Stone, NPR, Entertainment Weekly, Pitchfork and many more for its dynamic blend of Blondie's trailblazing sound and new influences from some of modern music's greatest innovators including Sia, Dev Hynes, Charli XCX, Dave Sitek, Joan Jett, and more. It features the euphoric disco-infused single "Fun," the propulsive 80s-esque anthem "Long Time," and the irreverent "Doom or Destiny." Elvis Costello's wide-ranging recording career began in 1977 with the release of My Aim Is True in a catalogue that include such diverse highlights as This Year's Model, Get Happy, Imperial Bedroom, King Of America, Blood & Chocolate, The Juliet Letters with the Brodsky Quartet, The River In Reverse with Allen Toussaint and Wise Up Ghost with The Roots. The 1998 release, Painted From Memory contained the first of more than thirty songs composed with Burt Bacharach, while the 2017 box-set re-issue of Paul McCartney's Flowers In The Dirt includes 15 demo duet recordings made by McCartney and Costello prior to the release of the albums Spike and Flowers In The Dirt, on which his co-written hit singles, "Veronica" and "My Brave Face," were first released. Costello previously appeared alongside Deborah Harry with composer/poet Roy Nathanson and the Jazz Passengers both in concert and on the recordings "Fire At Keaton's Bar and Grill" and "Individually Twisted" in the '90s. Elvis Costello & The Imposters' widely renowned Look Now was released by Concord Records in 2018 and of which Variety said, "It's so funny to be seeing him, after all this time, making a great cake of an album that doesn't really sound that much like any of the 30 before it." The catalogue will soon include the E.P., Purse, containing songwriting collaborations with Burt Bacharach and Paul McCartney and musical settings of lyrics by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. Since the release of their self-titled debut album in 1976, Blondie has brought the worlds of rock, punk, disco and ska together and racked up four indelible Billboard Hot 100 #1 hits - "Heart of Glass," "Call Me," "The Tide Is High" and "Rapture " - as well as six #1s on the UK Singles Chart including "Maria," "Sunday Girl," and "Atomic." Debbie Harry - genre-spanning visionary, complex songstress, incandescent front woman and style icon - and the band's boundary-pushing pop have shaped the look and sound of many chart-topping female artists who have followed and have made Blondie widely recognized as one of the most influential bands of our time. Debbie will reflect on this and more in her highly anticipated memoir out later this year. Blondie's Chris Stein recently released a photo book of his own entitled Point of View: Me, New York City, and The Punk Scene, following his successful first photo book, Negative: Me, Blondie, and the Advent of Punk. Selected as one of Amazon's best photo books of 2018, Point of View showcases Chris' brilliance as a photographer and documentarian, chronicling his life among his punk and new-wave peers and the downtown New York City scene in the 1970s through his insider lens. Elvis Costello, Pete Thomas and Steve Nieve are all members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Elvis Costello is an Oscar-nominated and BAFTA and Grammy award-winning composer and member of the Songwriters Hall Of Fame. Costello has received an Honorary Doctorate of Music from both the University of Liverpool and the New England Conservatory. Costello's unconventional memoir, Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink, was published by Blue Rider/Penguin in 2015. The New York Times review began, "Songs can be many things," Elvis Costello writes in his new autobiography: "an education, a seduction, some solace in heartache, a valve for anger, a passport, your undoing, or even a lottery ticket. Mr. Costello's book, Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink, manages to be all these things, and a pint of Guinness and a bag of chips. It's streaked with some of the best writing - funny, strange, spiteful, anguished - we've ever had from an important musician." The book went on to spend several weeks on the NY Times Best Seller List. Ever the bona fide international ambassadors of New York cool, Blondie - vocalist-songwriter Debbie Harry, guitarist and co-writer Chris Stein, powerhouse drummer Clem Burke, and long-time band members bassist Leigh Foxx, guitarist Tommy Kessler and keyboardist Matt Katz-Bohen - has become and still remains a true national treasure; one whose influence both shaped and continues to inform the worlds of music, fashion, art and pop culture. Blondie's chart-topping success, fearless spirit and rare longevity led to an induction into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, a NME Godlike Genius Award in 2014, a Q Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 2016, and more than 50 million albums sold worldwide to date.

McGregor-Nurmagomedov Twitter war gets even uglier as Dana White steps in Cindy Boren Reporter covering sports, with an emphasis on politics and national stories Des Bieler Sports reporter covering national topics, including fantasy football, as well as supporting coverage of D.C.-area teams April 4 at 1:31 AM So much for any notion that the very, very bad blood between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov ended with McGregor’s announced retirement. The Twitter war between the two MMA stars got uglier Wednesday, even as UFC President Dana White called the situation “unacceptable” and said he was taking “steps” to rein in the antagonists. In response to a jab by Nurmagomedov on Tuesday, McGregor lobbed an insult at the wife of the UFC lightweight champion. After about 15 minutes, McGregor deleted the tweet and went on to call for a rematch with Nurmagomedov, who beat him via fourth-round submission in a UFC 229 lightweight title fight in October. “Your wife is a towel, mate,” he tweeted along with a photo from Nurmagomedov’s wedding in which the bride’s head and face are covered. McGregor’s tweet about the Russian fighter, a devout Sunni Muslim, was captured by MMA Junkie before being deleted. Nurmagomedov and his wife, whose name is not publicly known, have been married since 2013, and the couple has two children. Nurmagomedov responded by calling McGregor a “rapist,” referring to reports that the Irishman was under investigation for an alleged sexual assault in Dublin. Posting a photo Wednesday of his nemesis with a woman reported to be someone other than Dee Devlin, McGregor’s girlfriend and the mother of his two young children, Nurmagomedov added: “You are a hypocrite who is not responsible for your actions. Justice will find you. We will see.” That had White issuing a statement in which he said he was “aware of the recent social media exchange” between Nurmagomedov and McGregor. “The ongoing situation has escalated to a level that is unacceptable,” he declared. "As such, we are taking the necessary steps to reach out to both athlete camps and this situation is being addressed by all parties internally.” However, McGregor returned to Twitter after that and posted a comment suggesting that Nurmagomedov had married a goat. McGregor again deleted the tweet shortly thereafter, but not before getting an ominous-sounding reply from Nurmagomedov: “If you think that insulting entire religion you be safe, you are mistaken.” Nurmagomedov’s comment earlier Tuesday seemed to set off the latest round of vitriol between the two. Nurmagomedov compared McGregor to “a jealous wife” in expressing doubt about the sincerity of McGregor’s retirement, which he announced abruptly last week on Twitter. “I don’t think he’s finished,” Nurmagomedov said in a speech in Moscow. “Conor acts like a jealous wife who says ‘I will leave’ all the time but then comes back.” After deleting his first tweet, McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) pivoted to talking rematch with Nurmagomedov (27-0, 11-0). “Don’t be scared of the rematch you little scurrying rat,” he wrote. “You will do what you are told like you always do.” That kind of exchange between the two fighters wasn’t really surprising, no matter the status of McGregor’s retirement. Both men and their camps sparred verbally and physically with trash talk that reached a personal level during the run-up to UFC 229, when McGregor talked about Nurmagomedov’s father, his religion and his country. Nurmagomedov cited those comments in explaining why, after beating McGregor, he jumped out of the Octagon and went after McGregor’s corner, touching off a brawl that resulted in suspensions for both men. In early March, McGregor completed the terms of a plea agreement in New York that stemmed from an incident before UFC 223 last April in which McGregor attacked a bus bearing UFC fighters and staffers at Barclays Center. The agreement, which also involved pleading guilty to a count of disorderly conduct, enabled the Irishman to avoid a possible jail sentence and deportation. McGregor, according to the New York Post, performed “menial tasks” at churches to fulfill that part of the agreement. He still faces civil lawsuits stemming from the incident and was ordered to undergo anger-management counseling as part of the plea agreement. On March 11, he was arrested in Miami on strong-arm robbery and criminal mischief charges after he allegedly smashed and stole a fan’s cellphone outside a nightclub. “Patience in this world is a virtue I continue to work on,” he said on social media soon after that. Last week, McGregor announced his retirement, saying on Twitter, “I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition.” However, more than a few in the world of MMA doubted that he was completely serious about never fighting again. Later Wednesday, McGregor appeared to signal an end, at least for the time being, to his online battle with Nurmagomedov — and to his retirement — by tweeting, “I want to move forward, with my fans of all faiths and all backgrounds. All faiths challenge us to be our best selves.” He added, “Now see you in the Octagon.” Read more from The Post: Boswell: What, you thought this Nats season was going to be fun?

Rakuten says to book $990 million gain on Lyft investment FILE PHOTO: Rakuten's network facility for its under-construction mobile network is pictured in Tokyo, Japan, February 20, 2019. REUTERS/Kim Kyung-hoon/File Photo TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan’s Rakuten said on Monday it will book a 110 billion yen ($989.74 million) gain in the quarter through March on its investment in Lyft following the U.S. ride-hailing firm’s listing last week. Rakuten become Lyft’s largest shareholder with a 13 percent stake ahead of its IPO. Lyft shares closed 9 percent higher at $78.29 in their market debut on Friday, giving the loss-making firm a market capitalization of around $22.2 billion. Rakuten’s shares were down 3 percent by the midday break in Tokyo on Monday, underperforming the broader market. Its shares have climbed 38 percent this year on rising investor expectations of returns on its tech investments. Those bets include ride-hailing firm Careem, which is being acquired by Uber for $3.1 billion, and image sharing website Pinterest, which has filed for an IPO. Rakuten’s finances are being squeezed with falling margins at its core e-commerce unit and it is making an ambitious attempt to break into Japan’s mature telecoms market with the start of carrier services in October.
