Looking Back
Dance Umbrella turns 30 this year, and the world of contemporary dance has grown with it. "The dance landscape has changed entirely," agrees artistic director Betsy Gregory, "from one where there was very little contemporary dance to one where there is contemporary dance in many venues, every night."
Dance Umbrella has been instrumental in that transformation: it introduced dance to many London venues, and helped to spread it outside London through tours and regional festivals. It's thanks in part to Dance Umbrella that contemporary dance is now firmly established in the year-round programming at London's Sadler's Wells Theatre, South Bank Centre, The Place and Barbican Centre, and that there are many more regional festivals for contemporary dance.
But if that's just cause for celebration, it also begs one big question: is Dance Umbrella now simply surplus to requirements, a victim of its own success?
Looking In
It was a moot point for Betsy Gregory when she took over from founder Val Bourne in 2006. "Val's departure was the single biggest event in Dance Umbrella history," she says. "And in the current landscape, it marked a point where we had to ask ourselves some fundamental questions, about what we do, how we work, and where we want to go."
One of the first things she did was to meet with each of the established dance venues to find out exactly what Dance Umbrella was bringing to the table. The answer varied from one venue to the next, "but in every case," remembers Gregory, "there was a definite added value, be it financial, artistic, or dance-specific expertise. There were always specific reasons for the relationship to continue."
It was a very good start. But Dance Umbrella is much more than a consultancy to book in for expertise and added value: it's been a pathbeater, a pioneer. And true to its founder's pioneering spirit, Gregory was also looking to do what others weren't, to break new ground.
"One of our most fundamental strengths, we realised, is that we are the most flexible of all the dance presenters in London. That comes exactly from not being part of a venue. So we can present dance whenever and wherever suits both us and the work. We can put anything, anywhere."
"Alongside that," she continues, "we had always thought of ourselves as being London-wide. But were we really? We decided to extend our geographical range, to reach out into different areas where perhaps there isn't so much dance provision, or where it is different from what we had to offer."
New spaces, new places – those twinned thoughts have had a definitely influence on this year's programme.
Out and About
Two pieces – Dominique Boivin's Transports Exceptionnels (from France) and Tiago Guedes' Matrioska (Portugal) – will have "London mini-tours", to include new sites in both East and West London.
Festival-goers may remember Transports Exceptionnels from Umbrella 2007: it was the strangely intimate duet for a man and a mechanical digger, performed outdoors at the South Bank. "Actually," says Gregory, "we invited Transports Exceptionnels back even before it came the first time! We were absolutely sure it was going to be a success at the South Bank, and we knew that in new areas it would provide something that's delightful, free, and suitable for everybody. It would be visible, as well as able to introduce contemporary dance into areas that maybe hadn't seen much contemporary dance before."
This year, the piece will be touring sites in Stratford, Newham and Canary Wharf in east London; in west London, Richmond Green and Ealing Common are proposed.
As well as presentations at The Place, Tiago Guedes' Matrioska will be at East London's Stratford Circus, and at unconfirmed venues in west London. Gregory chose this movement-theatre for a mini-tour partly because, being aimed at 6 to 10 year olds, it would bring in a new, fresh local audience. "But also," she is quick to add, "because it's a fantastic piece. It's abstract, and quite challenging. To be honest if I hadn't sat in an audience full of children in Woking, all loving it, I would have questioned how it would go down with kids. So to find a work of very high quality that we could take to children where they live – that was a real incentive to present it in different places."
The Smallest Room
Now here's something different again: a piece that started life as a film set in a private indoor space, and ended up as a performance for a public indoor space for an outdoor audience. Let me explain.
Toilet Tango began as a video by Argentinian Rodrigo Pardo, featuring three couples in confined spaces: a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The 2007 Venice Biennale invited him to adapt the bathroom duet for a shop window show. Gregory saw it, loved it, booked it. Then she had to find a bathroom shop.
"We finally chose the Bath Store in Baker Street, because the window was large enough, the pavement outside wide enough, and also because their PR company had such an adventurous spirit – they were really up for it."
This short duet will be performed over three or four days, three or four times a day. As with Transports Exceptionnels, both Gregory and the performers like the idea of capturing the attention of passers-by of all kinds, people who may never have seen or intended to see contemporary dance in their lives.
The Biggest Room
The largest theatre previously booked by Dance Umbrella was the Coliseum in 1997, for Mark Morris's L'allegro, il penseroso ed il moderato. Director Val Bourne had been terrified by the scale of the undertaking – though in the event it was a runaway success.
This year tops that: Gregory has booked the Royal Albert Hall.
2012 Overture, directed by Royston Maldoom, will be performed by 120 young people from London, aged 8 to 17, and is accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra. "We looked at many many venues," says Gregory, "and the only one that was actually big enough for 120 dancers and a near 100-piece orchestra, and with low enough ticket prices, was the Albert Hall. So that was it.
"With this piece," she continues, "we also really wanted get the word out across the country – not just to dance groups but to people from everywhere – that we want them to come and see this piece. Because it's such a big statement about youth dance and the power of youth dance. That's also why it's in the Albert Hall."
Is she confident? "Yes. And yes, it's scary!"
New people, new experiences
Part of the reason for taking dance out and about is to make contact with new audiences. But there are two ways of thinking of new viewers: taking dance to new people, or bringing new people to dance. Of course, those aren't entirely separate undertakings; but think about it for a moment. If you tailor dance to a target public, there's a danger that you'll end up with a kind of product marketing that ultimately undersells both the artform and the audience. In which case, the audience won't come back. If, on the other hand, you know you've got a quality product, then you can draw new people to it; it's a question of who, how, when and where.
Absolute belief in the quality of the project was certainly Gregory's motivation for Royston Maldoom's piece; the Royal Albert Hall was simply the consequence of that conviction. Having worked with Maldoom on youth projects at The Place for five consecutive years, Gregory remembers that "from the time those kids walked in to the time they performed two and half weeks later, the transformation was extraordinary. Every time. Each project was an incredibly inspirational as well as a powerfully theatrical experience. When they came to an end, Royston didn't have much work in this country, and went abroad. But I said to myself: I'll do something big with him if ever I can. And this is it."
It was the evidence of her own eyes that convinced her about Tiago Guedes' Matrioska: she had seen a theatre full of children who were enthralled by it. Its effectiveness comes at least in part because Guedes didn't specifically target the 6 to 10-year-old age range he was given. "We were commissioned to make a piece for children by the [french theatre]," he explains. "I hadn't done that before. And I decided to work as I normally would, but to make a piece that children could also watch."
Guedes and his collaborators started by thinking about childhood memories. "It's about fears of things that you don't know about," explains Guedes, "the things that make you scared. Like shadows, or strange sounds. But it's also about discovery, finding out about new things, seeing familiar things in a strange way. But the ambience is a little bit dark."
What kind of reaction does he get? "Often the children all react at the same moment – they point, or gasp. And they talk to each other about things they see – but all very quietly. It's not a piece that makes them energetic and excited. They are very quiet."
Matrioska was designed to include children, but adults certainly find it captivating too. The outdoor pieces at this year's Umbrella are designed to include – well, practically anyone. It's one of the things that Rodrigo Pardo enjoys about Toilet Tango. "It's always a very mixed audience. You grab the attention of people who normally don't go to theatre. And you get a more spontaneous reaction."
Pardo echoes Guedes' thoughts about seeing familiar things in a new way. "On the surface this piece is like a little joke," he says, "but underneath I am also saying something more serious. We tend to have defined roles for everything – so it's strange to see this piece, Toilet Tango, in this place, the Bath Store. It opens certain doors of awareness about what is real and what is possible. You think, where does the piece start and 'real life' leave off? You start to see the city in a different way."
Philippe Priasso, who performs in Transports Exceptionnels, has similar stories to tell. "The audience could be anyone – old, young, families, people from anywhere. It's great for me to perform thinking about those people who would never go to the theatre or see contemporary dance. I like to think they will have been touched by something. Then a form that could be seen as elitist becomes something offered to everybody, because everybody can understand it.
"One thing I've noticed is that the digger can represent everybody, or anybody. The audience projects their fantasy onto the digger – it becomes an animal, or King Kong, or a person. It's strange, because that makes it a very intimate piece between me and the digger; it's not just a machine."
"Everybody experiences the environment as part of the piece: whether it's hot or sunny or stormy, whether the sea is behind you or the city. A lot of men cry. More than the women. I'm not sure why. Once, we were performing in some fields in Bourgogne, and along came about 30 to 50 cows and watched. We could only see their heads because of the slope. They were just standing there, with those big eyes, all still and quiet."
Of course that wouldn't happen here because London isn't full of herds of animals, it's full of – oh. Herds of people. I take it back. It could happen.
It could happen here. That's the beauty of it.

You know I love tahini. You know I love a good cookie bar. And OBVIOUSLY I love chocolate. In baked goods, I think more is more, so why not jam pack all that good stuff into a seriously addicting, slightly nutty, oh so gooey blondie? My thoughts exactly. These tahini chocolate chip blondies are seriously the stuff my dreams are made of.
I meannnnnnn…
We're all friends here, and I gotta confess…I almost ate this whole pan by myself.
So, what is tahini?
Tahini is a super creamy, sesame seed paste. So basically, it's like peanut butter, but it's made with sesames instead of peanuts. Tahini is super poplar in Middle Eastern cuisine, and recently has taken off in the US. I love to use it in hummus, cookies, salad dressings, etc. It's very popular in a lot of savory recipes, but you're about to discover how incredibly amazing it is in desserts. And despite it's impossible creamy consistency, it's dairy-free.
These cookie bars aren't dairy free or vegan though because we added butter. Sorry vegans.
To read a little more on tahini, head on over to these tahini chocolate chip cookies.
Tahini vs Peanut Butter
The great thing about tahini as opposed to peanut butter or other nut butters, is 1) it's not overpowering and 2) it's actually nut free, so if you have a peanut allergy it's a great substitute. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE peanut butter, but you know when you make a recipe with peanut butter that peanut butter is automatically going to be the main flavor. Like yeah, we love peanut butter, but sometimes it can be too much. Tahini is slightly nutty, but it's pretty neutral. So you get all that complexity without anything super distinct.
How to make the perfect cookie bar?
They key to these tahini blondies is under baking them. No one likes a dry cookie and I can tell you no one likes a dry blondie either. And blondies are essentially just cookies in bar form, so you should follow similar tips and tricks that you would with a cookie recipe!
I've broken it down into 3 DON'Ts
- Don't over mix: this will lead to a tough blondie and totally throw the texture off.
- Don't over bake: This is by far the most crucial thing you can take away here. Remember your baked goods continue to bake as they cool, so make sure you pull these out of the oven when they're still underdone in the middle to keep them gooey and prevent from drying out.
- Don't skimp on the chocolate chips: Equally important, but I don't think I need to tell you guys twice to load these bars up with chocolate chips.
Hope these Tahini Chocolate Chip Blondies make this Wednesday go by a little quicker for you.
Tahini Chocolate Chip Blondies
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 1 8 x 8 pan 1x
- Category: blondies
- Method: baked
- Cuisine: tahini
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup tahini
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (seriously! it helps w the nuttiness*)
- 6 oz dark chocolate, roughly chopped (can also use 1 cup chocolate chunks or chips)
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter, tahini, and both sugars until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in egg, salt and vanilla extract and beat for an additional 2 minutes.
- Mix in baking soda and flour until just combined. Toss in chopped chocolate and mix to combine.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes. They will look puffed and underbaked, but will continue to cook as they cool. Allow cookie to cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Top with a sprinkle of sea salt and serve!
if you don't want to use whole wheat pastry flour, you can substitute it with 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons AP flour

Nagwa Abdel Meguid
National Research Centre, Egypt
Title: Recent advances in molecular medicine: Changing the practice of neurology
Meguid is an experienced clinical geneticist. Currently served as a professor of human genetics at the National Research Center (NRC) in Egypt. Holds her Ph.D. in Human Genetics, Senior Geneticist at the Genetics Institute, Pasadena, California; a fellow of Uppsala University, Sweden; fellow at Yale University USA. She was one of five selected scientists to win the outstanding L'Oreal UNESCO Award for women in Science for Africa & Middle East (2002). She is the head and running a Clinic and Laboratory for children with neurogenetic disorders focusing on genetics of autism. Currently she is a member in the Regional Bio-Ethics Society and committed to Gender Research in Africa into Information Communication Technologies for Empowerment.
The study of the nervous system dates back to ancient Egypt. Neurological diseases comprise a vast range of diseases that vary in clinical presentation, genetic influence, and therapeutic response. Many have a specific genetic basis.High throughput techniques such as micro array, comparative Genomic Hybridization(CGH), whole exome and genome sequencing allow for one-step interrogation of multiple genes for an even larger range of diseases. The recognition of these genes and their associated proteins has led to new approaches in treatment. There have been recent achievements in genomic medicine in many neurological conditions. Here we will briefly discuss 2 new things in the field of Neurogenetics. Clinicians made the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders populations and then walked away since there was little to offer for effective therapy. Recently, mutations in the BCKDK gene were detected in affected individuals from consanguineous families who had epilepsy, autistic features, associated with intellectual disability. The encoded protein is responsible for phosphorylation-mediated inactivation of the branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase enzyme where the potential treatment is obvious and simple. The second ischromosomal microarray studies that can now identify duplications or deletions of the genome associated with intellectual disability.High consanguinity rates and inbreeding coefficients increases the number of recessivedisorders in the Middle East such as Joubert syndrome. Much progress has been made finding genes responsible for Mendelian syndromesinvolvingintellectual disability.A number of new tools for efficient subtelomere screens based on array CGH technologies have recently been published. Telomere analysis has identified crypticsubtelomeric translocationsegregating through 5 generations using array-CGH analysis.Subtelomericrearrangements may be a major cause for unexplained mental retardation and/or multiple congenital anomalies. As these techniques become more accessible to researchers and clinicians, it would build up more knowledge about molecular - behavior relationship, thus changing the understanding of neurological disorders and allowing definite diagnosis which is the cornerstone of genetic counseling.

Some Considerations Before Hiring an Air Conditioning Repair Service
Depending on what has happened to your air conditioner, below you will find some tips that could help you fix momentarily your AC unit before a professional comes to make an air conditioning repair. Even, it is possible this will save you some dollars if the damage is not much. That is why anything that is not listed here as a "repair" tip that could be done by yourself, its better to leave it to a specialist.
1. If your air conditioner does not cool but it still running, proper cleaning is what you need to do. When cleaning an air conditioner it is better to do it during a warmer day. To make it perfect, following the manual's instructions is recommended.
2. If your air conditioner is not working automatically, check if the thermostat is set to cool. Check as well if the air conditioner is set to the current temperature. Believe or not, you should try this before calling for an air conditioning repair specialist.
3. If you have noticed that the room temperature drops to lower than its set temperature on the thermostat, mostly the thermostat is not properly installed or calibrated. That's why it does not give a proper room air sampling.
4. When the room temperature swings more than 3 degrees and when the air conditioner turns on and off, this only means that the air conditioner's pump is not cycling well. Look over the adjust thermostat heat anticipator whenever you encounter this kind of air conditioning repair problem.
5. Whenever you hear squealing sounds from the forced-air heat pump, or the belt that is attached to the motor's fan falls and if the blower is making like a grinding noise, it is time for you to call an air conditioning repair service technician. Your air conditioners problem is actually the motor's bearings that has shot down. Mostly, this case is due to the improper alignment of the belt that needs to be replaced. Reading the manufacture's manual when encountering this kind of problem is still the best recommended advice.
6. If you have noticed that the water is leaking at the base of the appliance or that there is something that blocks the water's flow or the pump is not working properly, try to check if one of the tubes has a damage or a leak. If you notice that this is the problem, then replacing the damaged part is necessary.
7. Since most of the cooling/heating ducts are metal, they usually produced noise from the air-handling unit to your rooms. In order for you to stop the noisy sounds, inserting flexible ductwork between the cooling/heating systems would make the system run normally. And if you hear a popper sound or pinging sound from the ductwork, try to check the ductwork because it might be from an air blowing loose metal or from a thermal expansion. If that's the problem, try to put a small dent within the sheet metal to make a more firm surface that is less likely to move when it cools and heats.
Following some of these tips would not only save you money but would also give you the chance to know exactly how to fix your device before an air conditioning repair specialists comes to your home.

This is what I found sitting on my dining room table when I got home today. I knew exactly what it was. You see I had seen this very package on the ITEIII blog and I had commented "who wouldn't want to receive a package wrapped like that!" I opened it carefully - not wanting to rip the beautiful paper - and was greeted with this:
Well - I knew what I was going to find inside. You see, I've been following this bag from its beginning on the ITEIII blog, never guessing that it was for me.
Out of all the amazing bags I have seen on the blog, this one just called out to me saying "Jane" all over it! It's perfect. The perfect color, shape and size. I really love it and it will be my go everywhere bag. Next came this cute handmade card revealing the true identity of "Annie Snuffleupagus" was Vicki - also known as Dandy.
But of course, that wasn't all. Pinned to the bag was a pin and a set of stitch markers - so cute! And a beautiful butterfly clasp. And look what else was in the box.
There was a skein of yarn hand spun from Vicki's own Alpaca "Uncle Buck" (I've been petting him),
some unspun fiber and a handmade (by Vicki) drop spindle so I can try spinning, a cute teddy bear key chain, yummy candy and gum, A crochet change purse with three Canadian coins in it. A Saskatchewan quarter celebrating their 100 year birthday, a quarter with the breast cancer ribbon on it to help support the fight and the bravery quarter to never forget the men & women who put their lives on the line everyday. These I will treasure!
And look at this cute sheep notepad and pen, with a lovely note inside.
And last, but not least came "Maple Bear" dressed in a hand knit sweater and socks with this note: "Through the wonders of the internet I come to live with you. I was made in China with "Canada" across my chest. My sweater 7 socks are Opal yarn, made in Germany, bought by a lady in Australia and swapped for Kool-aid from Canada. Now I'm living with you in the USA. Cool huh?"
So...do you think I've been spoiled??? Wow - I'm just overwhelmed and so excited. So much time and thought went into this package. There was a little note attached to each item telling me why she chose it. I am really touched by her thoughtfulness.
Thank you so much Vicki! I'll be visiting your blog often - please keep in touch!

I like this article. It's simple and direct. But its intuitive that it's impossible to get bullying under control in any environment without handling victim blaming!
Tag Archives: mental abuse
To my Mentor: You see in others what is true of yourself! (language warning)
Quick preface: "Workplace Issues" is a work of creative nonfiction based on my true story of being bullied. It's told in a series of open letters.
The perpetrator saw someone who was, "manipulative…gross, full of shit" and, "immature."
He also saw someone who was, "Willing to say or do anything to anyone to and hurt them to get what (I) want."
You saw someone who is, "special and can create."
You see in others what is true of yourself!
Stop fourth and fifth phase mobbing as defined by Heinz Leymann ~ It's only nearly impossible! ~ And, I'd love to help…
"The first phase (of mobbing) is usually an unresolved, festering conflict. This triggers aggressive acts and hostile communications in a second phase. In a third phase, management may become involved, i.e. the level of interactions increases, and often, at that point, the target is being slandered or, in the worst case scenario and in the fourth phase, may be branded as mentally ill. This can then lead to the final chapter: expulsion. All that may very well be a tragic outcome of deliberate office politics, but it may also be thoughtlessness and a terrible lack of empathy." ~ Dr. Noa Davenport
I'm working with the phases of mobbing as defined by Heinz Leymann and articulated by Dr. Noa Davenport. It's worthy of note that Wikipedia defines this as stage three. Regardless of how stages are quantified researchers agree that distinct phases of mobbing, or bullying by a group, exist. I'll add that I'm focusing on workplace abuse here. In the fifth stage of mobbing the targets professional reputation is almost always ruined. Currently, it's considered impossible to fix that damage. Typically the target must relocate or change professions, if not both! This is completely unacceptable!
In order to be effective at correcting damage to their reputation the target must be effective at holding the perpetrator accountable for their behavior. This isn't mean or confrontational, at all. According to the Harvard Business Review blog we can't get workplace abuse under control without holding the perpetrators accountable. Moreover, these people reoffend. It's saving someone else's mental health and reputation! It's a good deed and the more ethical course of action!
In the fourth phase of mobbing bullies and employers, frequently they are the same person, create a zero sum game. Either the target is mentally ill or the bully and their cohorts have caused a state of duress that may well have caused a mental breakdown. This zero sum game is easily won, provided the target is healthy again.
Naturally, it will be important to address slander as well. That's simple. It's only a matter of addressing it directly. Gossip is almost always inherently irrational.
Severely abusive individuals almost always project their severe emotional problems onto their targets. It's intuitive that the aggressor is the one with the emotional problems. It's inherently irrational to trust an abusive individual's analysis of their victim's character, period. But people do it. Address both directly!
Bullies count on secrecy and fear. As soon as they are held accountable and the silence is gone, their power is gone. Now, some are potentially physically violent and honestly I'm concerned about that in this case but it makes sense to use discretion there and also confront the possibility directly. It's ideal to threaten to press charges.
They will try to say that it was a unique and unfortunate series of circumstances. Sometimes victim's who are in denial come to that conclusion of their own volition. It isn't true. Address it in advance. These patterns are well researched.
There are two components to handling the abusive behavior by a group. One is to confront each individual publically but without naming their name or position if it distinguishes them, unless they are a decision maker. All decision makers have to be confronted by title. I illustrate how to do this in "Workplace Issues" and in the open letters addressed to decision makers, all of which will be sent publically. The second is confronting the mob mentality. I'm writing a separate instruction page on that.
This is a real situation and I personally was harassed and bullied. The abuse counted as assault as well. It caused post traumatic stress disorder. This is a test model.
I intended to create a model that anyone could duplicate. It's actually a model that a management professional can duplicate.
For now, anyone who wants to duplicate this please contact me.
I'll be happy to help for free.
Anti Bullying and Harassment Legislation in Texas and New Jersey!
I'm usually not on the same side as the Lone Star state politically, but this is exciting! Senator Wendy Davis has introduced new legislation that sounds great. First of all, she specifies training for teachers. Dealing with bullying isn't simple, at all. Expecting that professional teachers and principles know how to deal with it intuitively is unfair and ineffective. The legislation specifies no retaliation against victims and witnesses. It includes off campus and cyber bullying. Off campus bullying was okay, why?
Best of all, in severe cases the bully can be transferred to a different school. Currently law states that victims can be transferred! WTF!
The details on NJ's proposed laws are a touch more nebulous. Or, not as well reported on in this article. But, it's anti bullying legislation that may well pass!
Bullying Intervention
Please see the pages above or the section below marked bullying intervention.
To the Perpetrator: Regarding your accusation of "bad hygiene."
Quick preface: "Workplace Issues" is a work of creative nonfiction based on my true story of being bullied. It's told in a series of open letters.
On the night that you let me go you accused me of having, "bad hygiene."
I was breaking into cold sweats because I was having a traumatic stress breakdown caused by you.
It is so disturbing that this could happen at a company founded by a woman and with a team that is predominantly female.
To: The Woman Who Thinks That I Was Trying to Steal From Her
Quick preface: "Workplace Issues" is a work of creative nonfiction based on my true story of being bullied. It's told in a series of open letters.
I did not try to steal from you. I was used to an environment in which office computers were shared and that is candidly common. It was also common for us to bring friends to the office since the general public was walking in and out of the office all day anyway. My friend switched to a lap top computer because she was trying to get on to match dot com, which was blocked on the office computers.
If I expressed any remorse I would be faking it. I was already having a traumatic stress breakdown at that point in time. It was extremely obvious that I was being abused. You represent a firm founded by a woman and a team that is predominately female. Not only did no one try to help me, you all made it easy for him to get away with it. This is deeply disturbing.
I don't feel that I owe anyone there an apology for anything, except the agent who I didn't train. Even then I tried to keep my word but was afraid that the perpetrator might retaliate in the form of physical violence.
To The Woman Who Says That She Witnessed me Attempting Theft: Careless and Socially Irresponsible
Quick preface: "Workplace Issues" is a work of creative nonfiction based on my true story of being bullied. It's told in a series of open letters.
Here is the bottom line; virtually everyone on that team had reasonable knowledge that I was being abused. Despite that the vast majority of you decided to trust his analysis of my character. This is an excellent example of a low team E-IQ. And, that night you informed me that, "no one…believed anything that (I) said" and, "saw through it."
I seriously doubt that you are capable of understanding this but I would never speak to another human being the way that you spoke to me that night. It isn't about who they are it's about who I am.
The next day the manager who abused me asked me if she was, "someone who I picked up in a bar?"
The above has an obvious sexual connotation. That certainly was not his first inappropriate statement. The truth is that she is from an affluent Jewish family and went to Rutgers University. I had known her for years. I had celebrated holidays with her family and she had celebrated holidays with my family. I told the manager who abused me this but I consider it likely that the information was not relayed. Moreover I said, "If you want to accuse me of theft call the police."
I handled that correctly despite the fact that I was having a traumatic stress breakdown.
If anyone had actually cared if the allegation was true they would have checked the search history on the computer and checked to see if any files had been opened. No one did. Match dot com is blocked on the office computers, or was then. My friend was extremely anxious to know if she had a date. This is hardly criminal.
The perpetrator was looking for a way to discredit me completely. If he felt confident that no one would believe me then he could continue the abuse. My licensed therapist specializes in trauma. A woman fearing for her safety for a prolonged period of time can be as traumatic as rape and that is what happened to me. To put this in perspective when I relayed my experience to a former journalist he said, "It sounds like you are lucky that you got out of there before something happened."
Sexual assault is about control rather than desire. According to RAINN one in six women are raped in America. They usually know their attacker and these crimes happen at all socio-economic levels. Given his inappropriate and abusive behavior my concern was extremely reasonable. I do not become afraid for my physical safety easily at all. Either he is potentially violent or he inflicted a state of duress intentionally. The other option is that he cannot control his own emotions and which is immaterial.
Retaliation is unethical but it is ethical to hold individuals accountable for their actions. To say that the firm and the team handled this poorly is an understatement.
For future reference kindness is a virtue. It is also a leadership skill and a strength in business.
To the Team: Congratulations at being collectively obtuse! This is impossible, actually.
Quick preface: "Workplace Issues" is a work of creative nonfiction based on my true story of being bullied. It's told in a series of open letters.
One thing that was extremely constant in my practice as an agent was encouraging questions. After the financial meltdown Ken Fisher wrote a book titled How to spot a Rat. In his interview on The Common Wealth Club he keeps reiterating the fact that the most important indicator of financial fraud is whether or not someone is encouraging or suppressing questions. That indicator works for other professions as well.
Now, as I was encouraging questions regarding rentals many of you said things like, "What's the ulterior motive?"
A few of you followed that up with a snide, "I can feel it."
The reason that Ken Fisher keeps emphasizing someone encouraging rather than suppressing questions is that it's impossible to simultaneously suppress questions and operate with a lack of transparency.
You people are supposed to know these things!
To the Perpetrator: Well, since you went there!
Quick preface: "Workplace Issues" is a work of creative nonfiction based on my true story of being bullied. It's told in a series of open letters.
You had absolutely no business referencing my personal and specifically sexual history, ever! But, since you went there in the second summer that I represented the firm at which I learned management I briefly dated a third year law student at the most reputable university in the area. He made the observation that I seemed to know the same concepts that the MBA's did but simply not know the terminology for them! I can reference the theroists now.
Again, you had no place going into my personal life, at all. But, it's what men who are threatened by women professionally have done for years and traditionally get away with.
Times are changing!

If you're planning a wedding, you've probably realized just how much wedding vendors will mark up their prices when they know it's for a wedding. You may be pretty peeved that you're having to pay a "wedding tax" for something that would cost less on any other kind of occasion. But in most cases, these extra costs are incurred with good reason. Despite this, some couples are trying to snag a better deal from their vendors by withholding the fact that the service will be used for a wedding instead of, say, a vow renewal, family party, or similar. We've heard these called "bait-and-switch brides."

For this reason (and also budget limitations), I ignored the wise advise on this site to seek out vendors whose wedding style fits my vision. But what I am finding as I get deeper into planning the wedding, is that I weirdly am worried about living up to my photographers (and others) expectations and I worry about not being a "hot" enough bride with a "pretty" enough wedding. How do I keep the wedding day focused on what my fiance and I want, even though some of the people around us have different expectations?

We were happy with our photographer, and pre-booked an upcoming summer time family shoot with her. Now, six months after the wedding, I've realized that she hasn't posted any of our engagement, bridal or wedding photos to her website or social media. I have noticed that I'm not nearly as thin or stereotypically pretty as many of her other brides and I can't help but be a little offended. Now I'm wondering if I should find a new photographer for our family photos — one who maybe appreciates our personal style a little more?

Happy Valentine's Day, friends!
A couple weeks ago Sues and I each received packages from Stonewall Kitchen with some of their delicious and all natural products. I immediately opened up the ranch dressing, sliced some cucumbers and enjoyed a really good and healthy snack as I thought about ways to use the rest of the items that were sent to me. I'm thinking of incorporating the strawberry peach jam into some sort of cookie and the roasted peach whiskey sauce will definitely be used on poultry.
Then there was the Double Chocolate Pancake & Waffle Mix. Which I knew I couldn't eat all alone. Because it just sounded that good and I knew I wanted to spread the love. Yesterday, my friend Missy was planning on coming over so my roommate, Liza, and I planned an impromptu Valentine's Day Brunch and invited my friend Heather and Liza's friend Laura who both live in our area to enjoy a nice girl's day.
Making the pancakes was just about the only thing I knew I was going to make when I woke up yesterday morning, so I quickly threw together a menu, tossed on some sweats and my winter boots, went to the grocery store, and started cooking when I got home. Everything was done in about an hour or so. Something is definitely a little "different" with me because I actually enjoy cooking and entertaining under pressure. I kind of get a little rush 😉
So, the final menu included:
Fenugreek dusted baked bacon
Maple Sausage links
Stonewall Kitchen Double Chocolate Pancakes. Missy got here a little early and flipped the pancakes which was a big help. We tried using my heart pancake mold but it didn't work so well so we nixed the idea and just made regularly shaped pancakes. You should know, this mix has little tiny chocolate chips in it. No better way to feel loved than finding little morsels of chocolate in your pancakes!
A simple addition to a brunch menu is always fruit. In the mix were sliced strawberries, blueberries, a bit of sugar, and a couple dashes of vanilla extract. As a dip for the fruit I used Chobani honey Greek yogurt. That, with fruit, is delicious.
I also served Martha Stewart's Oven-Roasted Home Fries which were so simple to make but packed big flavor.
For them, I used:
• 2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 3/4″-inch cubes
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper (seeded), chopped
• crushed dried rosemary (to your liking)
• olive oil
• salt and ground pepper
To make them:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a rimmed baking sheet, add potatoes, onion, red pepper, rosemary, and oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss vegetables until they're coated with oil, bake until tender, about an hour. When they were done baking, I wanted to brown them a bit more, so I stuck them under the broiler for a couple minutes.
For the main dish, I made Martha Stewart's Easy Eggs Florentine which I will definitely be making again.
To serve 5 people, I used:
• 5 slices of Iggy's sourdough bread (a personal favorite!)
• olive oil
• salt and ground pepper
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 pound fresh baby spinach
• crumbled fresh goat cheese (to your liking… which for me, is a lot!)
• 5 large eggs
To make the Eggs Florentine, here's what you do:
• Heat broiler, with rack roughly 4 inches from heat. Place sourdough on a baking sheet and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and broil about 1-2 minutes on each side. Make sure it doesn't burn 😉
• In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and a handful or two of spinach. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the first batch of spinach is wilted. Continue tossing spinach and allowing it to wilt before adding more spinach to the skillet, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in goat cheese and transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl, covering to keep warm.
• Now you're going to fry the eggs. Wipe the skillet and heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Gently crack eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper. Cook until the egg whites are almost set, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the eggs stand until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft, about 3 minutes.
• Top each piece of toasted bread with the spinach mixture, followed by an egg. Along with topping the egg off with additional ground pepper, I sprinkled a little more goat cheese over the top, too. No harm. 😉
Laura arrived with a bottle of champagne, so we made some mimosas, which are always necessary.
And Heather arrived with a dozen roses in one hand and red velvet cupcakes that she made in the other hand. I easily devoured two in one sitting 😉
The final Valentine's Day Brunch spread, for 5 lovely ladies!
We all piled in on the couches to eat and watch very girly TV. Like a few episodes of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, the Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel movie Life as we Know it, and some Grammy Red Carpet coverage.
And then we got silly. Maybe the mimosas just kicked in? 😉
I love Missy's face in this photo, hahaha:
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Whether you're married, in a relationship, or single (like all of us ladies at brunch!), it's always important to celebrate LOVE! And this year in particular, I feel very lucky and blessed to constantly have the support of lots of best friends, the greatest family, and my wonderful roommate 🙂
How are you spreading the love today?
Love Actually *is* All Around, Part I

The social network launched a feature this week aimed at solving that issue. All pages on desktop and mobile now have subscribe buttons in their events sections, according to numerous reports, and users who click those buttons will receive the same types of notifications that they would see from other users' events. Karissa Bell of Mashable pointed out that the new feature allows users to stay informed about events from pages in their event dashboards, both via the Web and Facebook's flagship mobile applications, rather than being required to check those pages, avoiding the whims of the social network's News Feed algorithm. And Josh Constine of TechCrunch reported that users' friends will be able to see which events they have subscribed to, the same way they can see pages they have liked. Constine added that musical artists in particular suffered when Facebook began preventing pages from setting default landing tabs in 2012, which the social network has attempted to address with its Shop Now call-to-action button by enabling those pages to lead users to non-Facebook destinations such as stores on artists' websites or on iTunes.

Star City Six – Jason Kubik
Southwick Liquid Waste (www.southwickliquidwaste.com) is a septic installation and liquid waste pumping company that services Lincoln, NE and the surrounding areas. The locally owned and operated company serves residential and commercial clients, and is also certified to perform septic, lagoon, and well inspections for property transfers in Lancaster and neighboring counties. Jason Kubik is the owner of Southwick Liquid Waste.
How did you get started in the business?
Brad Southwick gave me an opportunity in December of 2005 to come work for him with the idea that I would someday buy the company. My family and Brad Southwick's family had been friends for years. My two older sisters babysat his daughters when they were in high school. In 2013 I bought the company and in 2014 my wife quit teaching to help me.
What is the biggest challenge you've faced professionally?
I would say the biggest challenge we face is the fact that we are always up against Mother Nature. Mother Nature determines if we can work whether it be what season of the year we are experiencing or the amount of rain she wants to unload on our area. Mother Nature also determines the soil types we work with as we figure out if the ground is suitable enough for a septic system. Mother Nature can wreak havoc with rain storms causing lots of problems for people who live on septic. And since no one has figured out how to control the weather, it is something we just have to work around, but it does make our schedules a nightmare and can cause our customers problems.
Tell us a little about your family.
My wife, Jaime, and I have been married 14 years and we have two boys, Kaden (13) and Kahle (10).
What is your favorite thing to do on a day off?
Spend time with the family. We are big baseball fans so playing in the yard with the boys or going to a Royals game – if the season and weather allow!
What is the most unique or interesting thing about you that most people probably don't know?
I am a twin, so if you meet someone who looks like me but doesn't seem to recognize you….it probably isn't me! My brother and I are identical twins so this tends to happen quite a bit.
What are you the most proud of?
It may sound cliché, but my family. We are fortunate to be able to work and live together. Raising a family while owning your own business creates a tight-knit home where everyone really needs the other family members to make things work smoothly on a daily basis.
What is the best piece of advice you've ever received?
You never really know what's going on in a person's life, so when you work with others, keep in mind the way they respond to you may have more to do with what they are dealing with in private and not you personally.
If our readers would like to contact you, how should they do so?

Been traveling for work so needed some reading material when wired at 2am in hotels. Thanks for the Winslow books, read the Force and it had a lot of The Shield in it but I enjoyed it. Just cracked Power of the Dog and enjoying it thus far. I enjoyed the film adaptation of Savages fwiw. Mostly solid cast.January 30, 2018 at 3:52 pm #118477
about 1/3 of the way through the Jann Wenner biography and totally understand why he's pissed. I've never read an authorized biography, with this kind of access, that shits on it's subject so much (though seemingly deserved)January 31, 2018 at 9:03 am #118512
about 1/3 of the way through the Jann Wenner biography and totally understand why he's pissed. I've never read an authorized biography, with this kind of access, that shits on it's subject so much (though seemingly deserved) 😆
Finishing up that book is what kept me from starting The Power of the Dog (which is already great 100 pages in).
Love how sycophantic Wenner is for Jagger and Lennon, and how much they shit all over him.January 31, 2018 at 9:30 am #118513
Speaking of Wenner I got bored with him like half an hour into that HBO documentary.January 31, 2018 at 10:40 am #118526

Total hagiography. The book isn't that.January 31, 2018 at 12:56 pm #118557
Doc writing me out of work for two weeks post hernia surgery (tomorrow AM) after the Wenner book have another WInslow book (The Death and Life of Bobby Z) and Green, a novel about a Boston kid and the 92 Celtics. Any other recommendations?January 31, 2018 at 1:33 pm #118566GreatWhiteDhaleParticipant
LeCarre novels are good. The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and The Little Drummer Girl are my favorites along with the Karla Trilogy.
Come back, Regular Brian.

Yes, thanks! Love me some Cold War stuff.January 31, 2018 at 1:54 pm #118576GreatWhiteDhaleParticipant
On a general note, if anyone is interested in the Maura Murray disappearance, "True Crime Addict" is interesting. It's written by a journalist who follows true crime stories and picks up the Murray case years later after being fired from his job in Ohio. A quick read, interspersed with some of his personal story. It is creepy in places. Don't know quite what to think about it.

I saw Don Winslow retweet this review of his book, so I figured I'd check it out.
This woman seems…simple. I wonder if Winslow actually read the review.
On my blog today #Review – The Force by Don Winslow @donwinslow
One of the best books I've ever read!https://t.co/BnMeahH46I pic.twitter.com/uUSDFM46ha

Tearing through Don Winslow/Dennis. Kevin, you can read the Cartel without reading The Power of the Dog (he weaves the backstory in when necessary) but I don't recommend it. Read them both. Just finished The Winter of Frankie Machine. Much lighter than those two (no dead babies) but still good
Finally finished over vacation. Amazing. Way too much plot for a movie, but it should be a Netflix ten episode show. Jumping right into The Cartel.
I'd even cast it for Netflix. Nick Searcy is Art. Giancarlo Esposito is Parada. Esai Morales is Adan. Jeremy Renner is Callan.February 25, 2018 at 11:05 pm #120117
I'm almost done with Power of the Dog. Fantastic. Look forward to the Cartel which I'll be ready to start for an overseas trip next weekFebruary 26, 2018 at 8:45 am #120120

Check out Wikipedia after you finish. According to that, a lot of it is based on real characters, including the more vicious stuff.February 26, 2018 at 10:32 am #120134
Would have to work Javier Bardem and Ben del Toro in the cast. Cheech Marin might be good as Parada.February 27, 2018 at 8:11 pm #120223CornerBlitzParticipant
Nonfiction-Norman Davies, Vanished Empires-really interesting. James Hornfischer- The Last Stand of the Tin Can sailors and Neptunes Inferno. very good reads. Leyte and Guadalcanal from a naval perspective.March 20, 2018 at 9:36 am #121156
Reading that new oral history of The Wire.
It's about as good as you'd think it would be. The guy who plays played Bubbles is funny. Seems like real life McNulty was also a pussy hound.March 29, 2018 at 12:28 pm #121654
You're going to laugh, but I just finished reading First Blood. If you don't like the movie you probably won't like it, but if you do check it out. Spends much more time in Rambo and Teasle's heads. The author does a great job with setting scenes- I got a bit panicked/ disgusted when Rambo was trapped in the mine with the bats, for exampleApril 13, 2018 at 10:52 am #122405BrianInLAParticipant
About halfway through reading Thinking In Bets by poker player Annie Duke. Its mainly a book about decisions vs results in life but the underlying theme throughout the book that she keeps coming back to was the Butler interception in the Super Bowl and how Pete Carroll got a bad rap for that play because if you add up all of the factors going into it was actually a GREAT decision but a BAD result. Not sure I love it enough to recommend it but I am enjoying the fact that we are in the correct minority in not saying that was the worst decision in all of sports history.April 13, 2018 at 11:26 am #122411Florida Sox FanParticipant
Don Winslow just announced the next book in "The Cartel" saga. No name or ETA yet.April 19, 2018 at 11:05 am #12270702062Participant
Thanks for the tip Kevin, I've got that up next.
Just finishing up Simon's "Homicide – A year on the killing streets" book – real good as well.April 19, 2018 at 1:31 pm #122730Bowd CrowderParticipant

The Wire book is as easy and as enjoyable of a read as you could have hoped for. Amazing how many people the author was able to talk to (I think the only major character that didn't grant him access was Wee-Bey). I've watched the entire series four times and I still learned a ton about the show.
1 user thanked author for this post.June 8, 2018 at 2:17 pm #125290RickkyboyParticipant
Heard the author of this book on a podcast. Sounds like a good read. B-17 Crew shot down and all members of the crew survived.January 23, 2019 at 9:30 pm #135448Fred West LynnParticipant
Yes, thanks! Love me some Cold War stuff.
On the recommendation of two longtime friends, I'm now 4 books into the Bernie Gunther series by Brit Phillip Kerr. Gunther is a homicide detective in late '30s Berlin who is swept up (unwillingly) by the rise of the National Socialists as they transform his life in instances large (taking over the nation's government; police dept comes under supervision of the SS) and small (no more sausage, beer is dreadful and coffee non-existent). Other than the aspect that good looking frauleins are tigers in the bedroom and are Hot for Bernie, they are good multi-dimensional tales of a good man trying to survive in a worsening world. I admire the cleverness of the plots but am also learning a lot that I didn't really know about Europe between WWI and WW2, including countries that came into being throughout that period. They're about a dozen of these and are probably best read in plot chronologic order, not the order in which they were published. Well worth the exploration.

Experience the Effects of Indo Kratom
Kratom which is related to a coffee plant is a tropical tree native to new guinea, south east Asia and Philippians. Indonesia being the biggest exporter, grows it abundantly due to the ideal humidity, making it one of the best regions for production and growth where you can find variety of plantations.
Indo Kratom
In comparison to many strains, traditional Indo Kratom is the most desired strain because of its unique set of effects. Effects may differ depending on the vein colors, plant and the season. Some of the most common characteristics include:
Mood lifting
Pain relief
When compare to the other strains such as bali, high quality of indo strains cause little side effects like wobbles and nausea.
In comparison to the other strains this strain is little expensive cause of its pain killing effects and also it lasts a bit longer either due to the cell structure of the leaves or the increased potency. It contains mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine compounds which work as opioid receptors which relieves pain and in turn provide sensations of Euphoria. It has a best stimulating effect in low doses, whereas more sedative and narcotic in high doses.
The leaves even do have side effects like it can be a habit forming, muscle spasms, depression, nausea, insomnia, muscle aches, constipation, increased urination, loss of appetite. There can be even the cases of seizures and psychosis with the over dosage of the leaves.
They can also be sold in different variants like:
Premium Indo Kratom:
By harvesting the fresh leaves of the tree, the powder is prepared using different methods. Stem being carefully separated by the hands is the specialty of this strain is a classic example of an outstanding product. It is made using a high end harvesting method. Dried leaves are grounded into the powdered form which is stronger when compared to the normal strain because of its higher alkaloid content.
With higher intensity of effects,it is a renowned high quality product available at reasonable price.
Enhanced\Ultra enhanced Indo strain:
To convert into a thick slurry form, the leaves are subjected to a vigorous boiling procedure in order to concentrate the level of alkaloids even further. These are little hard in consistency and can be further grounded in to a powdered form which is sold as a fine dust.
When compared to original Indo strain, the enhanced variety tend to be 15 times more effective and is not prescribed to use on regular basis. Must be added in small quantities only.
Apart from the above, the other popular Indo strains are Super Indo, red vein Indo, white vein Indo.Similar to the other strains such as Borneo, Bali and Indo strain, rare white vein indo strain is also energetic for anxiety relief purpose, but when compared red vein is the best.
Premium strain because of its mood boosting and energy is the best among all. Hence it is recommended to start with small doses and go with higher later to avoid side effects.

It is May 4, 2019. Q has not posted today. I follow Brian Cates on Twitter. He is not a Q follower, but he writes great articles. He has been advocating that Rosenstein is a white hat for a long time and his reasoning is compelling. Q tells us that disinformation is necessary. He has also posted [Fly Rosenstein Fly]. Stealth Bomber? If you just look what Q and Trump have said, it is easy to determine he is a black hat. But if you look Trump's actions, you may come to a different conclusion. Below the article by Brian Cates are a few Q posts that might support his theory.In Post 2165, Q tells us how the Deep State trusts Rosenstein which is confirmed by his confirmation vote of 94 to 6. Why was it critical for Trump to move [RR] into the DOJ? Rosenstein prevented McCabe from getting the job.In Post 2258, Q highlights that Schumer told Trump not to fire trusted Rosenstein. Q states, "Like Clockwork."In Post 2264, Q tells us that Comey and McCabe are teaming up against Rosenstein.Q asks why didn't POTUS fire Rosenstein?
Post 3211 may be the strongest evidence that Rosenstein is working with the Trump team. "Bake Your Noodle" Things are not as they appear.#FLY[RR]FLY# Stealth Bomber?One could argue that Sessions recusal made him stealth, but wouldn't Rosenstein be a much more effective 'Stealth Bomber'?
A good disinformation campaign keeps everyone guessing. It is fun trying to solve Q's puzzles. Either way I am glad it's time for Rosenstein to fly. I'm looking forward to watching the Trump team move to offense and start prosecuting the swamp!

Best Water Softener brand as Wedding Gift, GE or Whirlpool?
The best water softeners help reduce costs. This may not be self-evident at first glance, but you pay for any things you do not need if you do not have a domestic water softening system. Heavy water severely damages the water supply and piping system and does not destroy only the water heater, the washing machine, and the dishwasher.
The best water softener brand as a wedding gift should be effective, based on the use of salt, water, and energy. Some models do not use salt, and you should also choose a model that does not waste water during ashing. Hard water contains numerous minerals. When the hard water is heated, it becomes even more devastating. The damage is not immediately visible. Hard water causes the appliances to wear out faster.
Before you know it, you need to buy a new washing machine, a dishwasher, a coffee maker or a kettle. Tubes, taps, and showers are also clogged with mineral deposits. Piping by itself can cost thousands of dollars. Replacing faucets, showers and appliances can also cost thousands of dollars a year
If the water is high, it can also make the skin dry, and the hair dulls as the debris forms during washing. If you do not have the best water softener in your water system, use more soap and spend more time in the shower because calcium in hard water makes it difficult to wash shampoo and soap. There is also a hard foam to wash, which forces you to drink more water.
Soap scum is another hard water costly issue you find in the sink, in the bathroom and even in the bowl. There are water stains on your glasses, and you use more soap and water to clean them. If you have children and need to clean your bottle, heavy water can be a constant problem. After cleaning and sterilization, you will find white waste in the feeding bottles.
Tiles, sinks, and bathtubs in the bathroom can accumulate ugly stains of oranges that are very difficult to remove. You may need the strongest detergents to remove them, and only if you clean the bath weekly. If the stains are too long, they can lead to permanent stains that you can not miss.
With the best water softener, you can also avoid stiffness of clothing. Hard water can also change the natural color of the clothes, making the shirts white and fading the colorful clothes. Another problem with immersed water is the presence of minerals such as iron and manganese, making drinking water uncomfortable, discolored and even odorless.
You will not go wrong with GE water softeners as it saves more on salt, water, and energy. The right decision to pick Whirlpool water softener is the one to go by
Also, it is better to have clean water in the long run. Some people who bathe in non-soaked water usually have skin rashes and other skin problems due to changes in skin pH and soap suds that cause clogging of the pores. Using the best water softener to install a good home water purification system will save you time and money while avoiding health problems.

The bridal shower, walking the aisle, the joining, the after party, the bridesmaid, the reception and the ones that blow us away the most are those wedding dresses. Thanks to the photographers that provide us with the pictures and thanks to social media for enabling us to share our views of these wedding dresses. Here are some of the most talked about wedding dresses around the globe today, we talk about them for several reasons which we'll discover in a while.
1. Not just first on this list, but first on our mind is Kacey Musgraves wedding. It was awesome, it was romantic, it was gorgeous, it is being talked about. Kacey Musgrave, the singer of Follow your Arrow, Space Cowboy and High horse romantically got wedding to her fiancé, Ruston Kelly in October. Now several things made her wedding gown most talked about, first is that it was handcraft, yes, that's right, the flower embroidery on it was gorgeous. Second is that the wedding dress matched the outdoor ceremony, it's so natural, it's so magical. So who's the author of this amazing gown that gets us talking? Its the Berta brand, the gown was actually Berta's fall-winter 2017 collection. How about the photography? The gown seemed to be I'm harmony with Natalie Barrett Shelton's camera lens, he handled the pictures.
2. Serena Williams weds Alexis Ohanian. Sounds familiar right?, well it should, this wedding was searched by so many!, not only because she is the amazing tennis player but because of her wedding dresses, did I say wedding dresses? Serena wore three different wedding dresses for her wedding. And so they make up three of the most talked about wedding dresses. For the main party, she wore one of the two from Versace and the other later in the evening. The third gown was however designed by Sarah Burton, it was a strapless ball gown coupled with the very classic veil.
3. Now, talking about the most sophisticated wedding dress, that'll be Heart Evangelista's wedding dress. It was gorgeous, it was flowing, it was detailed. I personally wonder how much material was used in creating that gown. So now we're seeing why is one of the most talked about; it was detailed. Heart Evangelista got married to Chiz Escudero in 2016 in the hearty style I'd say. Some people described the wedding as a fairytale wedding and some said it was simply classic. Anyway, back to the wedding dress, it was designed by Ezra Santos, the Dubai-based Filipino designer. The design of the dress was inspired by that of the late Grace Kelly, the Hollywood star turned princess of Monaco.
There we have them, they are the wedding dresses most talked about. We know very much that more amazing celebrity weddings will come up.

The Heart and the Head, Part 4
Portia Westall, from the Donnelly group at the WTCHG, speaks about how she thinks about music when working on DNA sequences.
This is the fourth part of our evening of storytelling and music, where researchers from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, the Jenner Institute, and Cancer Research UK, came together to tell stories about their lives as scientists, with live musical accompaniment from Oxford-based folk group "James Bell and the Half Moon All Stars". It took place under the dinosaurs at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.
