It’s one thing to post something dumb on Twitter. Anyone can be forgiven for firing off a quick 140 characters and clicking send without thinking of what they just posted. But it’s especially clueless to be tone deaf on Instagram. You’ve spent all day crafting the best photo, putting it through a filter, maybe even photoshopping it, and then writing the perfect caption, carefully selected hashtags, emojis and all. Yet still a lot of celebs post stuff that is worse than even just a face palm. Sometimes... Читать дальше...

Last week I was interviewed on The Healthy Beauty Show at ‘1380 am the woman’ – the first woman-talk radio station which broadcasts from St Louis, MO.

From Richard Goldstein at the New York Times on April 6, 2018:

In the summer of 1942, Carl Scheib was working on his family’s farm in Pennsylvania and anticipating another year in high school.

At age 15, he didn’t have a car, but he did possess a nifty fastball and curve, pitching for his high school baseball team.

He had never seen a major league game, but even if he had ventured to Philadelphia to watch the Athletics or the Phillies play, there wasn’t a lot to look at. Читать дальше...

MIAMI (AP) — It only looks like parity. Consider it an April tradition: The franchise that goes into the Eastern Conference playoffs as the No. 1 seed changes annually. Toronto is on the brink of clinching the top spot in the East this season — which would make the Raptors the seventh franchise in seven years to do so, following Chicago, Miami, Indiana, Atlanta, Cleveland and Boston. It's an unprecedented run of top-seed diversity for the NBA, at least since the league started seeding by conference in 1973. Читать дальше...
