Los Angeles-based electronic duo Phantoms (aka Kyle Kaplan and Vinnie Pergola) share their cover of the Aaliyah classic “One In A Million.” Phantoms comment on the tribute, "We’re both big fans of Aaliyah and when we re-listened to her song “One In a Million” we thought it would be fun to try to repurpose it as a house vocal. It surprised us how anthemic it sounded when it was put on top of these big chords - you just felt like you had to sing along. It’s really an honor to be putting out a single with that vocal part and it’s always a highlight of our sets when we get to play it live." “One In A Million” arrives hot on the heels of the group’s 2019 critically acclaimed Disconnect EP. Racking up over 20 million streams and receiving nods from Billboard,Dancing Astronaut, EDM Identity, and more, they supported the release with sold-out shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Phoenix, and Dallas on the Disconnect Tour. Meanwhile, they graced the festival stages of Life Is Beautiful, Okeechobee, EDCMexico, and Voodoo Music + More, to name a few. The project also boasted the lead single “Say It” [feat. Anna Clendening], which debuted at #1 on the iTunes Top Electronic Songs Chart and reached #1 on US Dance Radio. Phantoms have recently kept busy by cooking up much-anticipated remixes for Tiësto and Becky Hill as well as SACHI and Jai Wolf. In 2018, Phantoms released the much buzzed about “Lay With Me” feat. Vanessa Hudgens, which has amassed over 11 million combined streams to date. The success of “Lay With Me” followed their chart topping “Just A Feeling” [feat. VÉRITÉ] from the duo's self-titled debut, Phantoms out via Casablanca Records / Republic Records. “Just A Feeling” clinched the #1 spot on the Sirius/XM BPM Top 20 Countdown for over eight weeks and shattered the previous record in the process. It closed out 2017 as #1 on the Countdown and BPM’s “Breaker of the Year.” The single held the #1 spot at Dance Radio for 4 straight weeks in addition to peaking at #1 on the iTunes Top Electronic Songs Chart and clearing over 15 million combined streams to date. Phantoms have played Firefly Festival, Electric Forest, SnowGlobe, ULTRA, and Billboard Hot 100 Festival in addition to touching down in Japan. Applauded by NPR, Billboard, Dancing Astronaut, and more, Phantoms have cemented their status as electronic music’s hottest live act. By Miami Living Staff, Images by Republic Records

Tyler Cameron stopped by Daily Pop to chat with E!'s Erin Lim about everything from his relationship with former Bachelorette Hannah Brown to the newly launched Quibi show Barkitecture, which he hosted. As for his experience with the latter, Tyler said he loved it so much that he'd "probably rather hang out with a bunch of dogs and do a season two" rather than become the next Bachelor. That, and the notion that his "heart wouldn't be in it." "Who knows? I'll never say never," Tyler said of the prospect. "But I think I'm at the point of my life where there's things I need to focus on for myself and get to where I need to be before I can give myself to somebody." Does the apply to Hannah, as well? The two have reunited a few times since she sent him home on The Bachelorette; namely while quarantined with a group of people in Florida amid the coronavirus pandemic. However, according to Tyler, she's currently just "a great friend. "I'm glad we could put our past behind us and [be] able to hang out and enjoy that time together," Tyler, who recently lost his mother, told Erin. "We both were kind of going through some things when all that occurred, and so, to be each other's support was nice. And to have a good friend like that was great." He continued, "The future? I don't know. I have no idea what the future holds. I'm just glad I have a great friend again." But Hannah isn't the only woman Tyler's been linked to in the past year or so. After his stint on The Bachelorette, rumors swirled about a possible romance with Gigi Hadid. The two reportedly went their separate ways in the fall of 2019, and she's since announced that she's expecting a child with her longtime on-again/off-again boyfriend Zayn Malik. "I'm excited for her and I wish her nothing but the best," Tyler said on Daily Pop. "She's gonna be the most incredible mom." And even if he's not ready for a serious relationship right now, Tyler still played a fun game of dating dos and don'ts with Erin—one of which is quarantine-specific: sliding into the DMs! "In quarantine, it's a do. Because there's no other way to communicate right now," Tyler said. "So, go for it. I'd rather meet you in person but DMs are fine." Anyone who manages to get a response, whether online or in-person, should probably avoid playing hard to get. Tyler dubbed this a "don't!" "It's fun, for a little bit. But I'm not in the business of playing games," he explained. "It'll get old quick. I'd rather you be real." More dating no-nos for Tyler? Talking about an ex, or bringing up the idea of kids before the cocktails even come out. He is down for kissing on the first date, though! Even bolder, Tyler said he's not opposed to sexting, whether it's in the early stages of a relationship or not. "That might push things a little quick. But that'll tell you where she's at and what she's looking for in a relationship," he explained. "Uh, why not? Go for it. Do. Sure." "Let's get it hot!" Tyler added.

Miami-Dade prepares to reopen with a Phase I policy on Monday, May 18, 2020. A New Normal Guide has been prepared and submitted to Governor Ron DeSantis for the state's review. If Governor DeSantis approves the plan, certain non-essential businesses will be allowed to reopen with stringent capacity and safety rules in place. This planning was done in close consultation with medical and industry experts and government partners, and is laid out in detail in the guide. This information is being provided preliminarily to help businesses and residents plan ahead, but there could still be revisions as we clarify in greater detail what can and cannot open and what services can and cannot be provided. The draft guide includes specific industry protocols for Retail, Small Businesses, Personal Grooming Businesses, Arts and Culture, Manufacturing, Office Buildings and Shopping Centers, Warehousing/Trade and Logistics, and Restaurants. It also includes protocols for hotels, motels and other commercial lodging establishments. In addition, it specifies that the following will NOT be opening at this time, but at a future date, when conditions warrant: bars, pubs, night clubs, banquet halls, cocktail lounges, cabarets, and breweries; movie theaters, concert houses, auditoriums, playhouses, bowling alleys, arcades, gymnasiums and fitness studios; pools, hot tubs and fitness centers, gymnasiums, whether of a commercial or non-commercial nature; tattoo shops and massage parlors. All of the Working Groups’ recommendations have been approved by doctors and medical experts from the Florida Department of Health, Jackson Health System, U-Health, and the infectious disease experts at Florida International University and the University of Miami. Medical experts have been involved every step of the way in this process, which also included input from the Miami-Dade League of Cities. The guide, which includes a color-coded system that details when openings can occur can be downloaded here. By Miami Living Staff, Miami-Dade Gov.

With the Charles Schwab Challenge, scheduled for June 11-14 at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, the PGA TOUR is set to lead the way as professional sports begin to emerge from a nearly three-month quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic. As to how it will do that, the answer is very carefully. “It's really a layered approach that we've taken, and the heart of it is social distancing,” the TOUR’s Senior Vice President and Chief of Operations Tyler Dennis told reporters Wednesday on a call that also included Chief Tournaments and Competitions Officer Andy Pazder and Senior Vice President of Tournament Administration Andy Levinson. That layered approach will include plenty of testing. Players and caddies will be expected to comply with medical questionnaires, thermal (temperature) readings and RT-PCR nasal swabs. It will start before they travel to tournaments and continue when they arrive. “We’re excited about how the PGA TOUR can play a role here in the world's return, if you will, to enjoying things we love and doing so in a responsible manner,” Dennis said. Pazder concurred, calling this moment “a unique opportunity” to lead the way. Players such as Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy and Brendon Todd have said they’re in and will do whatever is needed to return to competition. All three will be in action at Colonial, and McIlroy has said he’ll play the first three tournaments back, which will also include the RBC Heritage (South Carolina) and Travelers Championship (Connecticut). (For more on McIlroy’s schedule, click here.) Asked this week if he had any reservations, McIlroy said, “I don’t think so. If you take necessary precautions … face cover … washing hands … practicing social distancing, I really do think it is possible. If everyone follows guidelines, I don’t see why it’s not possible. Will be comfortable with logistics. I feel comfortable getting back out there.” Specifics were outlined in a document sent to players Tuesday. The plan was two months in the making and formed with input from PGA TOUR medical adviser Dr. Tom Hospel and the Federal Coronavirus Task Force, plus other specialists and laboratory directors, and in consultation with other professional sports leagues. The TOUR will provide masks and sanitizer at tournament sites, part of a significantly enhanced disinfectant and hygiene program. The number of people allowed inside any structure concurrently will be monitored and restricted. Most important will be a comprehensive testing and screening program that seeks to protect all involved. “For the player and caddie group,” Levinson said, “we are going to be providing that group with a pre‑travel testing program, and the purpose of this is really for those individuals to understand whether or not they have the virus before they travel to a tournament market. “And then upon arrival,” he added, “everyone will report to a testing area, likely at a designated hotel, where they will undergo all three screening methods: The questionnaire, thermal reading, and a PCR test. … Everybody who comes on‑site at our events will have to go through a questionnaire and thermal screening before entering the property, and participation is a condition of competition.” Although the results of PCR tests can take up to three days or longer, Levinson said the TOUR is working with local laboratories in an effort to shave that waiting time down to “a matter of hours instead of a matter of days.” One caveat: It must be done without taking resources away from local communities. “We're actually studying this very carefully,” Dennis said, “and everything we've designed is being done in a way that does not do that.” Anyone who presents with an elevated temperature will consult with a tournament physician, and in certain cases go from there to COVID-19 testing. “In the event we have a positive test,” Levinson said, “we will comply with all local health authorities as well as CDC guidelines, and that would include isolating that individual and may require a period of isolation or an extended time.” The TOUR will support players with specialized medical care and supplies throughout the isolation period, he said, “and any player or caddie who were to test positive during an event would receive a stipend associated with the cost of that isolation period.” Healthy players and caddies will have access to chartered jets between tournament sites. With the TOUR’s relaunch a month away, it’s all about minimizing risk. Levinson freely admits there is no way to eradicate that risk completely, not yet, but as the players and caddies know best, with the toughest recovery shots there never is. Courtesy of PGA Tour.

With teleworking the new normal, teams at La Maison des Startups LVMH, the Group’s incubator at the Station F campus, have reinvented standard practices. On April 21 the program welcomed a fourth group of 25 new startups online. Adapting this key event on the LVMH innovation agenda, which generally takes place face-to-face, the program segued to online alternatives to let the startups introduce themselves and begin their first coaching sessions. Innovation is deeply embedded in the DNA of the LVMH Group, distinctively shaping its long-term success. One of the pillars of this strategy is La Maison des Startups LVMH, the Group’s incubator at Station F in Paris, the world’s largest startup campus. Launched in 2017, the initiative accelerates cross-fertilization between the worlds of tech and luxury to help them together create the customer experience of tomorrow. Every six months the program welcomes 25 new startups to its space at Station F to mentor them and deepen their collaboration with LVMH Maisons. With France in lockdown since March 17 and the Station F campus closed, La Maison des Startups LVMH realigned its agenda. Demonstration sessions, which numerous LVMH teams around the world watched last year, were transformed into a series of e-workshops addressing business issues created by the coronavirus crisis, drawing a large audience among LVMH staff from 16 countries. On April 21 La Maison des Startups LVMH welcomed a new cohort of 25 startups that were introduced to the Group during a special webinar on May 7. The first few months of support will also take place exclusively online, along with initial contacts with LVMH’s 75 Maisons. This adjustment was enthusiastically welcomed by the startups. “Everything looks very promising and ambitious. We’ve already met with over a dozen Maisons, and LVMH teams are completely available to help us better understand the different contexts and issues faced by individual Maisons and the Group in general,” says Olivier Cotinat, founder and CEO of Tapbuy, a startup specialized in mobile e-commerce interfaces. Despite the constraints created by Covid-19, the launch of this 4th session at La Maison des Startups LVMH definitely maintained a rapid pace. All the stakeholders view this period as an amazing source of opportunities. “Constraints are what drive innovation. Crises have always spawned giants and disruptive ideas. We’re in the midst of an absolute paroxysm of constraints and we’ll need to rethink our models to make them more sustainable and responsible,” Oliver Cotinat adds. Martin Lehec, Sales Director of the Urb-it high-end delivery service, concurs: “I’m convinced that this crisis is a tremendous opportunity. The uncertainties facing the world and the retail of tomorrow mean we need to totally rethink deliveries. We believe we have to go even further in redefining delivery as an extension of the in-store experience.” Courtesey of LVMH

Dimensions Dance Theatre of Miami kicks off South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center's (SMDCAC) Sessions series with a breathtaking performance of "Apollo & Daphne" by choreographer Ben-Needham Wood and performed by dancers Claudia Lezcano & Fabian Morales and musicians Anthony Seepersad & Inesa Gegprifti. Music by Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Pärt and costume design by Susan Roemer of S-Curve Apparel. Inspired by the life sized Apollo & Daphne sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in Rome’s Borghese museum, Ben Needham-Wood has created a contemporary take on classic mythological tale of a beautiful Naiad Nymph, Daphne, daughter of the river God Peneus, and Apollo, the God of Light. Both have been hit by arrows of Cupid (Eros). Apollo, struck by a golden arrow, 
 falls madly in love with Daphne. Daphne, however is determined to remain unmarried and untouched by a man forever. Though sympathetic to Apollo’s plight, she has been struck by a lead arrow hardening her heart toward his lustful advances, and soon wants nothing more than to escape him. Peneus, in an act of mercy, uses the power o metamorphosis to save Daphne from Apollo’s overwhelming persistence by transforming her into a Laurel tree. Apollo in turn imposes his power of eternal life to make the laurel’s leaves evergreen, so that he may capture and hold on to her beauty forever. Emmy award winning choreographer Choreographer Ben Needham-Wood is an Emmy award winning choreographer based out of San Francisco. His stage works have been performed across the United States by such companies as Smuin Contemporary Ballet, Amy Seiwert’s Imagery, Dance Theatre of San Francisco, and the Louisville Ballet, among others. Ben was honored to be selected as a choreographer for the 2016 National Choreographers Initiative in Irvine, CA. In 2015, Ben received an EMMY Award for his choreography in the feature-segment BaseBallet, which was later recognized by the National Museum of Dance and Hall of Fame. Following that success, Ben produced and choreographed a follow-up special, BaseBallet: Into the Game, with collaborators Weston Krukow and Matt McKee, earning recognition with four more regional Emmy awards.

Over the last few years, Lindsey Pelas’ popularity has skyrocketed. The former Playboy Cyber Girl of the Month (May 2014) has become an entrepreneur and social media influencer with a massive following (13.5 million followers) on Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and is the host/founder of the podcast, Eyes Up Here. Streamed weekly on Focus TV, her podcast features celebrity guests and friends who discuss a range of topics from the news, body positivity, beauty, and lifestyle. Lindsey always dreamed of being a movie star. Born and raised in southern Louisiana, she graduated from Louisiana State University with a bachelor’s degree in history. After graduating college, she worked as a bartender and yoga instructor, then, started modeling for Playboy in 2013. Her resume grew tremendously from there. She has worked with magazines, including Cosmopolitan and Maxim, in TV/film, and even produced her own annual swimsuit calendars. It’s been a steady climb for Lindsey and people have taken notice of her success. Her expertise has been sought out for a number of digital marketing panels and conferences, including the Global Ventures Summit in L.A. and Mexico City, MX as well as Complex Con and the Forum. What sort of advice would you offer to those interested in pursuing a similar career path? “I like to tell people that, ‘Only you know what you’re capable of. Don’t let the opinions or doubts of others get you down.’ This business is fickle and unfair, but I like to think that within it and life, in general, the good guys always win in the end,” shares Lindsey. Click below to launch slideshow > How did you get into the entertainment industry and how has social media played a role in your career? Lindsey Pelas: I got into the industry through social media. I have always had an interest in selfies and self-expression through photography. I was obsessed with MySpace in high school and I loved the beginning of Instagram. I took a lot of selfies, played with hashtags, and I was a whiz at edits and filters from the start. What drew you to modeling? LP: I was obsessed with glamour growing up, The Girls Next Door, WWE Divas, NFL cheerleaders, and pop singers. I loved hair and makeup, costumes, and role playing. It was always an obsession of mine. I worked at Hooters for four years when I was in college. My first modeling opportunity was posing for their international swimsuit calendar. Let’s talk about your podcast, Eyes Up Here. How did this get started and what do you talk about? LP: I was actually a guest on a few comedian’s shows: Jenny McCarthy, Todd Shapiro, Josh Wolf, and Bert Kreischer. It was Bert who actually convinced me to make my own. He said I had a natural talent for conversation and I needed to connect with people on a new and deeper level. I took his advice and produced Eyes Up Here. Eyes Up Here is actually grew to cover social stereotyping, stigma, and a reflection of human behavior. I have amazing guests and I love getting to understand them on a deeper level. What upcoming projects are you excited to work on this upcoming year? LP: This year, I have new TV opportunities in the works. I’m also excited to see how my new business/ restaurant venture, Sugar Taco, grows. My 2020 calendar will definitely be a ton of fun too! Lots going on. What are some opportunities that you’d like to explore that you haven’t been able to try yet? LP: I’d like to do a little writing one day. It would also be cool to take my acting to the next level. I’d love to land a role in a major film. What’s one motto you live by and how does that drive how you live life every day? LP: When choosing between two difficult choices, I love to ask myself, “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?” to be sure I’m not making any fear-based decisions.

Regardless of your opinion, it’s hard to avoid the popularity of mindful exercises like meditation, yoga, and zen practices over the last few years. It’s not hard to imagine why, either, in a world increasingly fraught with stress-inducing news and the delivery of that news to everyone, everywhere, instantly. And while part of the beauty of these practices is their freedom and flexibility, investing in the right accessories can actually help develop a practice! Walden, named after the famed Massachusetts pond, but based in New York, offers just the right accouterments for meditators. They are hyper-focused on providing the perfect cushions and mats for a seated practice and they have pulled out all the stops along the way. The Walden Cushion Set pairs a zafu (the round cushion for your behind) with a heavily padded mat and helps create a much more comfortable meditating experience. I’ve tried piling up couch cushions, blankets, sitting in chairs, breaking out the yoga mat, and several other techniques to accommodate long sitting sessions, but using the Walden was the first time that I really felt physically comfortable. The thick disk zafu is filled with natural buckwheat that creates a dense but pliable filling. It’s topped with a gel-infused layer of memory foam to contour to your derriere. Those materials are then wrapped in a water-resistant, anti-microbial shell that is smooth, thick, and pleasing to the touch. The shell feels like something you might find on a fancy insulated weatherproof coat, and it’s removable when it needs to be cleaned. That same outer shell covers the padded mat, which is about twice as long as the cushion and provides welcome comfort for your ankles and feet when seated. The mat is a good inch thick, and not designed to be rolled up or folded, so the smaller footprint is intended to minimize bulk—it probably won’t extend enough to cover both knees in a half lotus or Burmese position, for instance. The material choices certainly contribute to the high-end look of the Walden Cushion Set. The set comes in three mature color schemes—cobalt, sand, and carbon—and Walden seems eager to complete custom projects with any color or pattern design you might think of. Stitched around the diameter of each zafu cushion is an elastic band that adds an accent to each color scheme, and also provides a portable handle for carting your cushion around. It’s a nice feature, especially for a cushion as large and sturdy as this one. And while it’s easily portable, my Walden Cushion Set usually stays put. In fact, it has helped create the space I’ve always wanted for my meditation. By having such a nice-looking and well-functioning cushion set, it’s given me a reason to set aside space to accommodate them, and in turn, accommodate my practice. It serves as a healthy physical reminder each day and provides a welcoming space where I know I’ll be comfortable. This high-end cushion set will make you want to use it, and that’s important. You wouldn’t buy a Ferrari and keep it in the garage, and you also wouldn’t buy a Walden Cushion Set and let it languor in the closet. Even beyond the added comfort to each meditation session, that may be my favorite aspect of owning the Walden. So, upgrade from your yoga mat and throw pillows to a cushion designed to support you and your body with the Walden Cushion Set. For more information, visit: www.walden.us Story by Thomas Bender

Miami-Dade County has introduced coronavirus testing at two County drive-thru sites, anyone 12 years or older may be tested, and they do not need to be showing symptoms. Those under 17 must have parental approval. This new age limit applies to the sites at both the Tamiami Fairgrounds and South Dade Government Center. The 18-year-old age limit still applies to the drive-thru sites at Marlins Park and the walk-up site at Holy Family Catholic Church in North Miami. For all County sites, people no longer need to be experiencing symptoms in order to be tested. All County-run testing sites continue to require an appointment, which can be made for the next day by calling 305-499-8767. Staff at County-run sites can only test those with appointments. “I encourage everyone to take advantage of the new COVID-19 testing options in our County,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez. “Even people who feel fine can be carriers of this virus, so we all need to do everything in our power as we are ‘Moving to a New Normal’ to make sure that ‘I Keep You Safe, You Keep Me Safe.’”
