How to silence the gods? An operatic masterpiece by Verdi | World news | The Guardian

Alexander Pereira, La Scala’s new general manager, is confident that a rarely seen major work by Verdi will silence his traditionalist critics
The general manager of La Scala has said he is confident that a rarely seen operatic masterpiece by Verdi can silence the hecklers he has sought to banish, as the world’s most famous opera house readies for its celebrated gala, the first night of the season.
Before taking the reins at the Milan theatre last year, Alexander Pereira did not hold back in his disdain for the so-called loggionisti, whose traditionalist scruples and booing have seen a string of performers vow to never return.
“I have at my [disposal] the best [singers] but many do not want to perform on the stage at La Scala because they are intimidated, if not frightened to death,” he lamented. “We can no longer allow this.”
Having completed his first – successful – season at La Scala, Pereira has said he will not be put off by the merciless traditionalists who often make their voices heard from the gods on the first night of big productions, such as Monday night’s upcoming performance of Verdi’s Joan of Arc (Giovanna d’Arco).
“You are always concerned that it might happen, but the concern doesn’t hold you back from doing what you think is right,” he told the Guardian. “I think this is an interesting production and I think it is an important contribution by La Scala to a major work by Verdi which is practically never done.”

Holiday Detox

Thanksgiving is over and it’s time to REBOOT for the holidays! For most adults this means cleansing your previous eating & drinking indulges & recharging your body & mind with fresh food and beverages to tackle the upcoming holiday season.

In order to maintain your nutritional balance aka sanity of the holiday shopping, parties, family & work obligations, TAKE CHARGE of your diet and health with a healthy dietary detox. What this means to you is finding the best, local, organic market, restaurant or meal delivery service which offers a calorie-controlled program to jump start your personal best physique!
Getting Started
There are plenty of DETOX programs available in the 305, several new pop-up programs I will review in my #WelcomeToMiami Fitness blog in upcoming weeks that I discovered at the recent SEED Conscious Plant-Based Food & Wine Festival in Wynwood.
Regardless of your choice, suffice to say, the best way to DETOX to regain control, clarity, physical purity and renewal is to eat the right combinations of food & beverages for YOU—to keep calorie burn aka metabolism & energy levels high, lean muscle toned and overall health intact! Sounds logical, but most programs typically under fuel, poorly fuel or over fuel overzealous dieters with liquid sugar, albeit “natural” fruit sugars leaving “drinkers” heads spinning, faintish, guts hungry and workouts cut short.
Since DETOX programs often drastically change your calorie, nutrient & daily eating habits, the best place to start is with a medical checkup & a personalized program supervised by an integrative holistic medical doctor and licensed nutrition expert (LD/N.) Dr. Suzel Vazquez, MD Integrative Internist located in SoMia in the medical offices conveniently located above Whole Foods Market offers a 1 month medically supervised, nutritionally coached program which includes a meal plan PLUS supplemental shakes, probiotics and vitamins.
Healthy DETOX Strategies:

Find out your minimal calorie needs called BMR or Basal Metabolic Rate, the minimum amount of calories you need before you start breaking down the body, muscle, and organs just to live and don’t eat less than that! You can easily lose weight FAST by following your BMR & exercising.

Download the mobile app cTHRUNutrition at Apple or Android store FREE, your “Pocket Nutritionist” to get a quick BMR calculation, find foods and beverages that meet your personal dietary preferences & speak to your own personal nutritionist when you have questions.

Commit to a 1 month period to follow the DETOX food program & scientifically formulated schedule of juices or shakes. Start TODAY if you want to get a head start on your 2016 resolution!

Think beyond the DETOX. Consider your long term goals: Weight loss? More energy? Optimal health? Prepare for Miami Marathon? You can use this time as a head start on your New Year’s Resolution by working on eating, drinking & lifestyle habits that hold you back from being your personal best all year long—

Remove YOUR personal toxins whether it is too much alcohol, sugar, fat, processed foods or even diet soda; inconsistent exercise or poor sleep habits. Get rid of foods with added colors, chemicals, unhealthy fats; packaged junk or fried foods and snacks. Wouldn’t it be great to feel great & be your best for the long run in 2016!

Infuse KEY Nutrients, vitamins and minerals, nutrients like omega 3s and fiber YOU’RE missing in your daily diet. Have your diet, body comp and blood evaluated by a nutrition expert and replace deficient macros & micros via the DETOX formula, meal plan or supplemental sources DESIGNED for YOU whether from whole foods or beverages and/or supplements AS necessary to promote & protect your body during the detoxification process, holidays and beyond.

Thanks to the #SEEDFoodandWine festival here are the names of some of the DETOX programs available, all I will review in the upcoming weeks. #PlantTheory #DirtEatClean #MannaLifeFood #JoyfulJuicing #temple_kitchen

Cheers to a healthy DETOX, holiday season and Healthy New Year!

Ernie Kovacs, Edie Adams Archives Acquired by Library of Congress – Hollywood Reporter

The Library of Congress, in its latest step to preserve the work of great entertainers, has acquired a collection of kinescopes, videotapes and home movies featuring comedian Ernie Kovacs and his wife, singer-actress Edie Adams, it was announced Thursday.

The library purchased the comprehensive collection, which includes more than 1,200 audiovisual items, from Josh Mills, the president of Ediad Productions and Adams’ son. The price was not disclosed.
Kovacs was renowned for his innovative, surrealistic and out-of-the-box television comedy, while Adams had a successful career on the big and small screen and on Broadway and was memorable in a series of sultry cigar commercials (“Why don’t you pick one up and smoke it sometime?”). They often worked together.
Kovacs, 42, died on Jan. 13, 1962, in a car crash on Santa Monica Boulevard on his way home from a party in Beverly Hills. Adams, 81, died of cancer on Oct. 15, 2008.

DSO maestro Slatkin to step down in 2018

Think of it as Leonard Slatkin’s version of "The Long Goodbye."
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is expected to announce Thursday that Slatkin, 71, has signed a new deal to remain music director through the 2017-18 season. After that he’ll assume the title of music director laureate and maintain a reduced schedule of conducting four weeks of concerts per season and remain involved in artistic planning, personnel decisions and administrative duties until his successor is firmly in place. Slatkin will be 73 when his tenure officially ends after 10 seasons in 2018, and the changes are part of a broader rethinking of his priorities as he approaches his 75th birthday.
"I’m very proud of what everybody has done," Slatkin said Tuesday. "There wasn’t too much left to do in terms of new initiatives. This is exactly the right time to think about turning it over."
Slatkin has been mulling his future with the DSO for quite a while but only came to a definitive decision in recent weeks. During his summer vacation this year, Slatkin began writing down the major accomplishments he and the DSO had achieved during his first seven seasons as music director…….

Ellie Goulding wows Miami art Basel crowd, despite cold – The Washington Post

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Ellie Goulding has the perfect cold remedy: tequila.
The British singer admitted she had a terrible cold while performing poolside at a private party to launch her MAC Cosmetics line on Wednesday night during Art Basel Miami Beach.
“I’m going to drink my way through it,” she told the crowd at the Miami Beach Edition hotel. “I’ve had a few tequilas. It’s for the best. I’m feeling quite good actually.”
Goulding’s make-up collection plays on her luminous skin with glowy palettes, neutral shades and big false eyelashes. As a teen, the singer said she loved experimenting with mascara and lipstick and learned by watching her mom.
“I was quite gothic back in the day, so I loved the eyeliner.”
Goulding performed half a dozen songs including an acoustic version of her hit “Burn” and closed the set with “Love Me Like You Do.”
At times, she hushed the rowdy crowd, worried the cheering would overpower her ailing voice, but promised “I’ll come party and party with you guys (after the show) and we can be really loud.”
Goulding is among dozens of celebs, including Hilary Swank, Lenny Kravitz, Alicia Keys and Katie Holmes, who are in town for the prestigious art fair, which is an extension of the annual contemporary art fair in Basel, Switzerland. The fair officially opens Thursday, but many independent fairs and star-studded parties are already underway.
The singer, who has had some killer collaborations recently, including with Calvin Harris and Zedd, said she doesn’t have any plans to team up with anyone at the moment, but left the door open for a reunion with Harris.
“Who knows? I’m sure me and Calvin will do something again in the future,” she said.
