As technology and designs improve, kitchens evolve all on their own.
A good few years ago, the kitchen became the "new" place to be, and took over from the lounge or living room as the much bandied "heart of the home".
There was a time of course before that when, very much "below the stairs", the kitchen wasn't the place for a family to hang about at all, and certainly not a spot for entertaining.
So things have changed – spurred significantly by ever evolving technology, as well as of course, by social, spatial and financial demands. And while we may think that kitchens have remained more or less the same since they moved "upstairs", a quick thought back to the orange electric frying pans of the 80s and the TV grills reserved for Sunday nights will make you think again.
Fast forward to 2016 and the wealth of new kitchen trends should inspire some revamping fantasies, a new reality or two and certainly a guide as to what makes investment sense.
Steam oven and steam cooking
Popping up now at home décor shows, the steam oven is by no means brand new, but certainly on its way in, with the newest kitchens abroad having fitted steam ovens in place of regular convection ovens and microwaves. Steam ovens use small injectors of steam to cook, producing a moist heat which removes the need to baste, and while it takes slightly longer than a microwave, steaming retains far more nutrients.
Like a good gas hob, a steam oven is an investment in a kitchen that can certainly add value to a property price.
Getting smart
Already evident in quite a few homes, designated spots for smart services are in – and becoming expected. The most common of these is the hidden charging station, a now-you-see-it-now-you-don't space to store devices such as phones and tablets so they are always at hand, charged and operable.
On the same note, things in the kitchen are getting continually smoother. While the metallic appliance was a feature in itself just a few years ago, now hidden and integrated appliances are blended in as part of the overall look – often made from the same material used in the cabinetry. Similarly smart appliances are adding to the modern kitchen's seamless convenience – built in coffee machines and wine coolers being just two examples.
The stylish hood
While metal was one of last year's biggest trends, homeowners tended to use it in small doses (faucets, pendant lights and handles). Metals (be it copper, brass or bronze) will be more dominant this year, with the metallic range hood becoming more of a feature and adding a burst of contrast to a kitchen. On the subject of range hoods too, things will quieten down, with many people opting for the slowly more affordable silent hoods (try a good quality range hood with an external motor) so that family life can still go on while the steak sizzles.

Taking the Steps to Become an Instructor of Group Ex: Part I
"So, how do I become a fitness instructor?" — this is the question I hear most from people when they learn I that I teach fitness classes (click here to check out the blog I wrote about how I got into teaching).
Over the next few blogs, I will cover the steps I took to go from being a group ex class taker to a FWABulous instructor. If you have ever thought of teaching, here is a road map for you to follow:
Find a mentor. I was fortunate to have Suzie, the colleague who provided me with my first opportunity to teach when she needed someone to take over her cardio kickboxing class. It's a good idea to team up with a seasoned instructor who will be happy to answer your questions about everything from getting certified (more on that in a moment) to what music to use in class. Suzie worked with me one-on-one and gave me opportunities to team teach with her, so I would feel comfortable in front of a class. To find a mentor, contact a gym and ask for the group fitness coordinator. This person should be willing to answer your questions or direct you to one of his/her instructors who would. (And of course, I'm always willing to help, too!)
Get certified. Any gym worth working for requires its instructors to be certified. Now, everyone and his brother offers fitness certifications for everything from personal training to pilates, but here's my advice: the best certification for anyone to start out with is a basic group ex cert. This is the cert that gyms look for, because it provides a basic knowledge of everything from the anatomy of the body to the anatomy of a fitness class. After you have this cert, you can always pick up a specialized one in spin or Zumba or something else, depending on what formats you want to teach. But, get this one first.
Pick a certifying organization. My group ex cert is from the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America, which is one of the most widely known fitness organizations among instructors. Other respected organizations that offer group ex certs include the American Council on Exercise and SCW Fitness Education. The AFAA group ex cert is about $300, but bear in mind that once you're certified, you will have to renew it every two years, which involves additional costs. AFAA offers certs all over the world, so it shouldn't be too tough to find one in your area.
Get CPR certified. Most gyms will also require a CPR certification, and it's likely you will be required to get this to receive your group ex cert. I'd recommend going with the American Heart Association's cert because it lasts for two years (click here to find a class near you). (The Red Cross also offers a cert, but it has to be renewed each year.)
So, there are a few steps to get you started. Stay tuned for next week's blog, where I'll get into preparing for and taking the test. Until next Tuesday — stay FWABulous!

Ellen Mass commented 2014-06-05 20:07:40 -0700While I sit in the same traffic in route to my Friends of Alewife Reservation job at Fresh Pond Mall, I understand the city had little time to implement the combined sewer overflow (cso) separation with storm water going to the new wetlands (you must see), and effluent to Somerville Pump station and to deer island. And very few (Residents and others) did not follow the federal court order timing for Cambridge to separate its sewer from storm water by 2015. Basically the city is under federal mandate to do this and it must be done right or much greater contamination and sewer waste will flow into our Little River, Alewife Brook and into Boston Harbor which has been cleaned up for the last 10 years thanks to MWRA. However, top planning for residential movement is a foreign idea, so this is the result. Also, almost no regulations are in place for traffic limitation enforcement. We will need to go to China for that.
But the Mandate by the Conservation Law Foundation and Federal Government (Clean Water Act) must be complied with. More sewer work is coming down the pike (2 million)
to place interceptors at Alewife Reservation in the middle of my 3 year growth of native garden that I love more than all the world, but have to give it up. We do not know why it wasn't planned before the storm water wetland was built, but folks need to visit the wetland and participate in its incredibly ecological functioning for so much wildlife. A long tailed weasel was discovered with many deer recently and the place is a dream land for those who live near Alewife T and the overflow crowds who will come into the Cambridge Park Drive cul de sac apartments- all 600 units.
Timing is everything and the present Concord Ave. construction has seriously interfered with people's lives. Sorry, it must be done, haphazard as it is. I suffer too. Poor planning doesn't happen in prosperous communities. We must change.

We must find a way to ease the congestion caused by this bottleneck! Also, Concord Ave. construction should be accelerated — there is no excuse for a road improvement project that requires closing such a critical transportation artery for such an extended period of time.

Karachi (Staff Report): Three bodies were found in a men's salon in Karachi's North Nazimabad area on Thursday morning, police said.
SSP Central Muqaddas Haider believed that the deceased were died due to a gas leakage as the generator was on when the salon was opened and there were no torture marks or bullet wounds on the bodies.
The senior police official said, "It appears they went to sleep leaving the generator on."
The bodies have not been identified yet, but the deceased could be part of the salon staff because they died around five to six hours back, during an hour when the salon is usually closed.
According to rescue, the bodies were taken to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.

Holding a warm mug in your hands on a cool morning is one of life's pleasures. For some folks that's coffee, others have tea. But then there's the adventurous, like you and me: we have mushrooms to keep us happy. That's right: get out your cup and have a soothing and earthy cup of mushroom elixir. This blend of deep flavor is thanks to Four Sigmatic. It's a Lion's Mane mushroom beverage that whips up in seconds with hot water, right in your favorite mug. Why Lion's Mane? Better digestion, antioxidants galore, and even some brain-protective capacity is all for you in this one instant mix. Tear it open and stir it up! ~
For the true, true stories behind this incredible foodstuff, read on.
Hot beverages are a go-to drink for lots of folks including myself. It's totally human to want something warm and savory, often without the perkiness of full caffeine. Of course, there's decaf instant coffee which is fast and simple, but factory-made and probably contains questionable ingredients. Now you can have a warm soothing beverage and still keep your paleo-friendly street cred. It's called Mushroom Elixir.
Four Sigmatic is the company that has your back—and your brain. They start by finding the best sourced Lion's Mane mushrooms with a strict attention to potential contaminants (molds and the like). Then they dual-extract all the good stuff: pulling out the water-soluble and fat-soluble components completely before air-drying the powder into instant perfection.
Now, about that specific mushroom: Lion's Mane. It brings some serious antioxidant capabilities along with good digestion and even some neuro-protective capabilities. Four Sigmatic has blended it with peppermint extract, licorice root, and a touch of stevia to make the whole thing taste amazing, but really like nothing you've ever had before. I really love the earthiness: it goes down smoothly and allows your headspace to get things done.
Just warm up some water, tear open the pouch and mix together into a perfectly balanced cup of nutrients and joy. You'll get none of the hyperactive caffeine as from typical coffee. No jitters, no acid tummy.
Why this mushroom elixir is so good for you
Quality mushrooms treated well to preserve their natural goodness. That's what this is all about.
Lion's Mane
Recognized for their brain-boosting properties, these delicious mushrooms have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years. Recently, science has focused on lion's mane's exceptional regenerative effects on our nervous system. Coffee can be an outstanding productivity booster, but even more so when enhanced with a good lion's mane extract!
The natural nootropic (cognitive boosting) effects of lion's mane work hand-in-hand with the stimulating effects of coffee to create the perfect state of mind. Their lion's mane mushroom extract is made by dual-extracting these wood-grown fruiting bodies, and then spray-drying it without any fillers or carriers. The final extract powder is standardized to 30 percent polysaccharide (more than 15 percent beta-glucan) content.
Why you should enjoy the purity of mushroom elixirs:
Everyone knows how delicious and nutritious mushrooms of all kinds are for humans. First, they are fairly potent superfoods, with antioxidants out the wazoo. Four Sigmatic is also constantly running third-party lab testing to ensure minimal levels of mycotoxins. Rather than paying a premium price for organic certification (which gets passed along to customers), they source the highest quality and most potent products.
Why MUSHROOMS?
Why, indeed. You may not realize this but mushrooms make the world go round. They are in 40% of Western medicines (like penicillin!) and they have been researched in every possible way for thousands of years.
Because mushrooms are so integral to clinical practices, thousands of studies have been conducted and papers have been written testifying to their incredible healing properties—to date, 1,100 papers have been published on just one single type of mushroom, of which there are more than 10,000 known varieties in North America alone.
Interestingly, most people don't consume these healthy types of mushrooms, so adding even small amounts could lead to significant health benefits. During the last couple of generations, mushrooms have suffered from quite a bit of stereotyping from "magical" jokes to the "snootiness" of portobellos or truffles. All this despite the fact that they are suitable to almost any diet, from Paleo to vegan.
Check out Mushroom Coffee in the wild!
About Four Sigmatic, in their own words:
"Our Mushroom Mission began in the Nordic countries in 2012 and, with the help of our innovative products, we have expanded to more than twenty-five countries in less than four years. In 2014, we relocated our business headquarters to the U.S. Our products launched in the U.S. in January 2015, and it has been quite a journey since then. We're still a small employee-owned startup … but good things come in small packages, and we truly believe our passion and hard work will help us continue to make a real difference in global health."
Four Sigmatic also gives back in major ways: check this out!
"We believe that our products can and will make a significant social contribution simply based on their day-to-day health benefits. But we also want to give back in another way: Whenever you buy any of our mushroom boxes, we will put a portion of the proceeds toward providing free mushroom kits for cancer patients. These Contribution Kits, as we like to call them, include more than $1,500 worth of mushrooms for patients. The current version of the Contribution Kit includes dual-extracted chaga, reishi, shiitake, maitake, and turkey tail mushrooms.
To distribute the kits we've partnered up with Boarding 4 Breast Cancer (B4BC), a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation focused on breast cancer prevention. Through two decades, B4BC has been educating people, raising funds, and giving back to local communities and research-based organizations. They organise rad events and do their best to help raise the awareness of cancer prevention, which is why we wanted to work with them."

Mitchell and Cameron reluctantly agree to let Haley babysit during their night out with friends. The camera attached to Cameron's laptop is on, so he freaks when he sees a man walk through his living room on his cell phone screen. Haley is appalled that her cool uncle feels the need to spy on her. She gives Cam a firm tongue-lashing before quickly shuffling Dylan out the door. Too bad neither of them realizes that D-money skipped off without his shoes.
Mitchell's been spending lots of time with straight people. That's why he's anxious to get back to his gay roots with pals Pepper, Longinus and Crispin over dinner and drinks. They catch site of Jay flying solo at the bar. He had popped in to grab a drink after ditching Gloria and Manny at the symphony. Mitchell is uncomfortable when his dad joins him and all his gay friends. Jay, however, is having a grand old time. Mitchell eventually gets into the spirit of things, too.
The next morning, Jay's feeling the effects of a massive hangover. He had a great time with Mitchell's pals-Pepper, in particular. The two got along so well that they made plans to head off to Palm Springs to do some record shopping, not that Jay remembers this. He wants Gloria to help bail him out, but she's still peeved that her hubby skipped out on the symphony. Looks like Jay is taking a two-hour trip into the desert. Pepper assures him that they'll get a break when they stop at the outlet malls along the way.
It's time for the Dunphy Spring Classic. That's another way of saying the entire family is engaged in a rousing game of Wiffle Ball in the front yard. The game comes to an abrupt end when Claire socks a long fly ball over the leftfield fence. In other words, it goes into the yard of their scary old neighbor, Mr. Kleezak. This game has been called on account of fear.
Luke takes it upon himself to get the ball back from the evil Mr. Kleezak. The old man tries his best to shoo away his young neighbor, but Luke doesn't ever catch the gruff guy's drift. Mr. Kleezak messed with the wrong clueless kid. It doesn't take long for these two to strike up a friendship. This has Phil and Claire a bit on edge. They have no choice but to confront their scary neighbor for themselves.
Phil and Claire fear Mr. Kleezak is dead in his chair as they make their way into his place. A quick pulse check startles the old man causing Phil to trash everything on his mantle. Mr. Kleezak is understandably upset about being fondled by Phil, but he's truly hurt when he realizes his neighbors think he may be some kind of pervert. Mr. K. tells them that their kid doesn't need to come by his place anymore.
Luke is angry at Mr. Kleezak for messing things up with his folks. The old man offers an olive branch to Phil and Claire. Actually, he offers them onions from his garden. It's the same garden we see Mr. Kleezak working on a little bit later with his old friend Luke.

"The Greg Vrettos Trio is a very talented group that will add an element of elegance to any occasion as they have to several of our fundraising events.
The three experienced musicians know just when to engage the audience in lively tunes and when to pull back for more of a background ambiance.
Leader Greg Vrettos also adds lovely vocals to many of their arrangements and personally engages to ensure all aspects of the production are a success."
Tricia B.
We recently had the Greg Vrettos Trio play at our wedding cocktail reception, in Salem, NH. They were outstanding and extremely professional. The range of available music is wonderful and they added the perfect backdrop for a nice evening of light jazz and standards. They made our reception even better. I highly recommend them!
Dave and Lynn
"I cannot say enough about the Greg Vrettos Trio. They recently played the cocktail hour for our daughter's wedding reception at the Seaport Hotel in Boston. Their presence added the personal touch that we were hoping for. They exceeded our expectations, raising the bar with every arrangement. Our venue coordinators commented on their professionalism and our guests raved about their music. I am so happy that we were introduced to this talented group of musicians and Greg was an absolute delight to work with. Thank you so much to all three of you!"
Lisa and Larry Gilligan
"You are always such a treat to hear play and sing. Thank you, again, for sharing your talents with us at the Haiti Fundraiser."
Kristin F.
The Greg Vrettos Trio made our wedding so special. Everyone at the wedding couldn't stop talking about what a wonderful, and classy sound they have. They played the ceremony, and the reception, and the classic wedding songs mixed with jazz was so amazing.

The New Zealand foreign minister, Murray McCully, will today head off to Vanuatu as part of a Melanesian tour shortened by the political uncertainty in Papua New Guinea.
A tour of Polynesian countries will follow in a month in the lead-up to the Pacific Islands Forum summit in Auckland at which Vanuatu will pass the chairmanship to New Zealand.
Walter Zweifel reports.
"Murray McCully is to meet Vanuatu leaders today for bilateral talks and then fly on to Solomon Islands tomorrow. His delegation will include officials, NGO delegates and representatives of businesses using the Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme, which has been sourcing workers from Vanuatu and Solomon Islands. The political uncertainty in Papua New Guinea has prompted Mr McCully to cancel a planned visit to Port Moresby. Last week, the acting prime minister, Sam Abal, sacked the foreign minister, Don Polye, for alleged insubordination but has yet to name a replacement."

Toyota Motor North America today announced an agreement to resolve economic loss litigation in the U.S. related to previous recalls by committing to actions that deliver value to its customers.
"This agreement marks a significant step forward for our company, one that will enable us to put more of our energy, time and resources into Toyota's central focus: making the best vehicles we can for our customers and doing everything we can to meet their needs," said Christopher P. Reynolds, group vice president and general counsel, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A, and chief legal officer, Toyota Motor North America. "In keeping with our core principles, we have structured this agreement in ways that work to put our customers first and demonstrate that they can count on Toyota to stand behind our vehicles."
Reynolds continued: "This was a difficult decision – especially since reliable scientific evidence and multiple independent evaluations have confirmed the safety of Toyota's electronic throttle control systems. However, we concluded that turning the page on this legacy legal issue through the positive steps we are taking is in the best interests of the company, our employees, our dealers and, most of all, our customers."
If this economic loss settlement is approved by the judge supervising multidistrict litigation (MDL) pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Toyota will launch a new customer-support program that will provide prospective supplemental coverage for certain vehicle components and will retrofit additional non-hybrid vehicle models subject to the floor mat recall with a free brake override system (BOS) to provide an added measure of confidence.
Further, assuming any appeals are resolved in favor of the settlement, Toyota will offer cash payments to eligible customers who sold or turned-in their leased vehicles in a period during 2009-2010, as well as other specified persons, and to eligible current owners and lessees who will not be offered BOS. The proposed settlement would also establish additional driver education programs and fund new research into advanced safety technologies.
Toyota also announced that it will take a one-time, $1.1 billion pre-tax charge against earnings to cover the estimated costs of the economic loss settlement and possible resolution costs of civil litigation brought in California by the District Attorney of Orange County and an investigation by a multi-state group of Attorneys General stemming from previous recalls.
Speaking of the unintended acceleration issue, although the investigation has come to a close for now, not everyone is convinced that the findings were conclusive enough to satisfy all parties involved. Will the settlement of this class-action lawsuits, as well as other total recall lawsuits appease everyone, especially the owners? Stay tuned, as the last chapter in this epic saga is far from being written…

Did you know, according to Code.org, by the year 2020, one million computer jobs will be unfilled simply because there aren't enough people who know how to code? One million jobs. In this fragile economy and rapidly changing world, there are few careers that promise stability. Therefore, it is unaccountable that 90% of our schools currently do not offer computer science. 90%! We are supposedly educating our children to prepare them for the future, yet we are closing off a vibrant world – a world in which they are involved daily. Cell phone, IPads, laptops, banking, websites, online shopping and music, even car engines! We live our lives with technology. So why aren't we taking the time to understand (and teach our children) how it works? Why aren't we preparing our children for the future?
Oh, I know. Many of us just shake our heads, falling back one of the following excuses:
- The No Skills Approach: "I can't teach computer science. Sometimes I can't find the power button on my own laptop!"
- The Too Busy Approach: "Who has time? Between school and music and sports, we can't fit one more thing in."
- The Too Broke Approach: "Our budget is already so stretched. How could we afford one more private lesson?"
If you're a school teacher or administrator, perhaps you're using:
- The No Skills Approach: "We don't have anyone on staff who could teach computer science. It's impossible."
- The Too Busy Approach: "Our schedule is already so tight. We can't fit in another type of science."
- The Too Broke Approach: "Our school budget is already so stretched. How could we afford it?"
If you identify with any of these reservations (or even if you don't!), I challenge you to take part in National Computer Science Education Week and participate in the Hour of Code, offered the second week of December for the exorbitant price of absolutely nothing. This webpage offers a wide variety of easy-to-use interactive coding tutorials for all ages and interests. There is even a category for kids who don't have access to a tech device. That's right – you don't even need a computer to learn code!
Eva is incredibly excited. You can choose programs that contain computer code in digital building blocks that you simply click and drag and snap together. Or you may prefer to learn some actual languages, in which you type in the words and math codes you need to create the outcome you desire. There is truly something for everyone, and I will be the first to tell you: I know nothing of computer coding. I am really quite illiterate. You don't have to be a computer scientist to provide the tools for your students and children. The abundance of kid-friendly sites out there that are chomping at the bit to teach your kids takes the pressure off of us. And though some have a fee attached, many of them are always free.
Eva has been working with Code.org for several months now, trying the different coding curricula they've brought together there. She's worked with Scratch, Code Academy, and Khan Academy. So far, Khan's been her favorite. But this week, I've encouraged her to only play with programs she's never used before. Who knows? Maybe she'll find something she likes even better. She will guest post here at the end of the week to review the programs she tries.
If you have 15 minutes in your day, you have time to learn to code. Try switching out the kids' video gaming time for a week to coding instead. Or perhaps split it up and expand the limits a bit. If they have an hour of gaming time, then give them 40 minutes of coding and 30 minutes of gaming. If you have no limits on gaming, then perhaps ask your kids to switch over and try coding for even one day. You know your particular needs and family dynamics. The point is, this doesn't have to be a major time commitment. You can spend as little or as much time as you like and still learn.
So. Let's recap: Learning to code is free, is easy, and doesn't require previous expertise. It will help prepare our children for a wealth of interesting, well-paying jobs (or entrepreneurship opportunities). It will nurture critical thinking and problem solving skills. 90% of our kids aren't been taught this in school. And this week, dozens of clever, fun, engaging computer science programs have all been linked up to one convenient launch page and on top of that are being offered for free.
What are you waiting for? Still need convincing? Watch this lovely video that will inspire even the most resistant. Even Sarah Michelle Gellar (the actress who starred as Buffy the Vampire Slayer) guests on it encouraging you to code, and she knows a thing or two about saving the world, what with being a vampire slayer and all.
Let me know in the comments if you give it shot!

Wi-Fi calling is going to become a lot more important with the proliferation of Wi-Fi hotspots all over the world, which I believe will also ultimately disrupt the carriers. But until we get there, carriers are actually going to support it so they can tout one extra cool feature that they have and the competition doesn't. It all ends up being towards our benefit.
T-mobile will put their Smart Wi-Fi calling app inside myTouch and Motorola DEFY, for now, with other devices to be supported later. Is this a big deal? I think it is, but not directly a great feature for consumers. It's good because it gets the other carriers to accept Wi-Fi calling, but when it comes to the consumer, right now it's a much better idea to just get Tango or Skype apps. Both support Wi-Fi calling, and they work on all Android 2.1+ phones and iPhones.
Why would you use T-mobile's wi-fi calling feature that enables you to call only certain other devices (only 2 of them), when you can use the other apps to be able to call a lot more.
Ultimately, these apps will become irrelevant in the long run as Google will most likely implement wi-fi calling, VOIP through 3G, and video-calling, by default in the next iterations of Android – perhaps as soon as Android Gingerbread.

[This is a review of The Knick season 1, episode 4. There will be SPOILERS.]
The titular hospital of The Knick is a place driven largely by want. The patients want to be treated and they want to live. The doctors want to keep their patients alive by treating them properly.
But in that want, there is another deeper want that propels individuals like Dr. Thackery and Dr. Edwards. It is the desire not only to treat patients, but also to be better than anyone else in doing so. And in order to do that, they have to take opportunities where they can get them, even if it means gambling with a man's life while his chest is splayed open in the operating theater, or manipulating the heart of a dead woman, purely as an educational exercise.
And yet, as much of the goings-on in the Knickerbocker Hospital are naturally of the medical variety, The Knick is ostensibly more concerned with what motivates its characters to step into the operating theater, to set up their own after-hours clinic in the bowels of the hospital, or to be a nun who administers abortions to young women in need. It is all driven by very specific wants – for themselves and sometimes for others – and in 'Where's the Dignity?,' the series more or less reaches into its characters' chests to root around for their heart's desires.
It's a chance to dig deeper into the perspectives of the more ancillary characters like Nurse Elkins, Sister Harriet, and even Bertie and the tetchy Mr. Tom Cleary, as well as provide some continuing insight into larger players, like Thackery and Edwards. And although the episode is often clunky and the script too obvious at times, it does at least attempt to explore what the various longings mean for certain relationships, especially as many of them enter into a transformative phase.
With that in mind, the throughline for the episode is established relatively quickly, as Dr. Edwards withholds information on a procedure that's already in progress until he's allowed in to do the work himself. The end result is Edwards saves a man's life, establishes his surgical prowess amongst those who don't respect him, and winds up with a black eye for his trouble.
Ultimately, that's all surface stuff, as 'Where's the Dignity?' winds up giving everyone else a black eye by again underlining the deplorable racism of the time. Weaving in a social message is often what's expected of a period drama such as this, and The Knick has had some success being subtler of its delivery in the past. But here the gloves come off, and the script winds up tripping over itself with some labored lines of dialogue, like Thackery's mention of his father's Union Army sword, all to set up a clever retort by Edwards that's so obvious it doesn't exactly do the character or the scene any good.
And the hits keep on coming, as Edwards is forced to endure an uncomfortable social gathering at the house of Captain Robertson (Grainger Hines), where an entrepreneurs discuss with the doctor the merits of using "free" labor, while using the pyramids as an example. The prickliness of the dinner party, and the idea that an individual's worth is measured by superficial constructs, is used to further establish the relationship between Cornelia and Algernon. By introducing Cornelia's fiancé and his plans to take her to San Francisco without first discussing it with her, the connection between the two is made clearer, as it attempts to go beyond what may well be the sublimated feelings they have for one another.
Eve Hewson fares somewhat better. She spends much of the episode silently reacting to an influx of information, as her arc expands to further explore her growing fascination with Dr. Thackery. The subtlety of her performance, the slight adjustments she makes in her facial expressions – like the smile that breaks when she's acknowledged by Thackery in the episode's closing – articulates where her character is at far better than some of the more overt elements undertaken by the episode.
With that, the conflation of Sister Harriet and Tom Cleary's threads lands somewhere in the middle. By blending the characters' empathy with their other desires, and centering it on as contentious a topic as abortion, the script services some underdeveloped characters as much as it does its desire to thematically link the story of the Russian immigrant woman's lack of choice to Algernon and Cornelia's thread.
In doing so, Cleary and Harriet become fascinating contradictions, a kind of 60/40 split of desire driven by compassion and the need to turn a quick buck suggesting Cleary's not all bad, and he's not the only one who could do with being a little less of a swine.
While it stumbles around in a few places and makes some regrettable choices in dialogue, 'Where's the Dignity?' is at least commendable for working so hard to define the narrative's core relationships as well as the characters in them. It may not get as many style points as the episodes that have come before it, but in the long run, the benefits of establishing stronger associations amongst this particular group of characters will likely prove that inelegance to have been worth it.
The Knick continues next Friday with 'They Capture the Heat' @10pm on Cinemax.

The entertainment industry in Sydney is at a high intensity level nowadays. This is because of the new breed of waitresses that are serving their food. Are you interested to be a topless waitress? You need to audition with one of the night clubs in the city. However, you will need to be resourceful when searching for these jobs, as they are not usually advertised. This article will guide you on how to audition for these jobs.
Tone up your body
If you are auditioning to become a topless waitress, make sure that you have a toned body. You need not have the perfect figure but just toned. Cellulite or stretch marks are acceptable in most clubs. If you are not confident about your body, diet and exercise will give you the figure to be able to work in strip clubs.
Be prepared
The next step is to call a local club you are planning to work for as a topless waitress. You can ask them for some details such as the type of audition and what you should wear. You should be ready to turn up, dance, and remove your clothes while the club is still closed. You do not have to worry if you do not know how to pole dance because most topless waitresses in Sydney do not know how to pole dance at the start. All you have to do is be as sexy as you can when dancing.
When calling the club to audition, you should also ask about the dress code. Depending on the club, some require gowns while others require bikini. This is part of the preparation for lingerie waitressing. Some clubs will require you to audition with your street clothes and tell you on the spot if you are hired. If this is the case, wear something that will show the shape of your body such as skinny jeans and tight top.
Audition during Amateur Night
Some clubs conduct auditions during Amateur Nights. This is an event when all aspiring strip dancers show up and dance on the stage in front of customers. Judging will be based on audience reaction. In some clubs, the winners are given the chance to work in the club as a prize.
Invest on stripper shoes
Stripper shoes can be bought online or in local stores. The ideal heel size is 3 inches and you should be comfortable wearing them.
Not many women are able to qualify as lingerie waitresses in Sydney. If you think that you got what it takes to be one of then, by all means, audition in one of the clubs.

Listen to this article
For someone who has spent, as I have, most of their life living in London, it is less a physical space than a lump of memories, of personal meanings, of aching emotional associations. This makes it quite difficult to address the question of a "favourite place". To make it easier, or at least to start thinking about it in a more focused way, I thought: of all the places where I have lived in London, which was my favourite? And to that question the answer seemed fairly straightforward. My favourite was Hampstead, where I lived, very near the Heath, for two short stints in my early thirties.
There are two reasons, though, why I have doubts about putting Hampstead forward as my "favourite" London place: 1) There is something horribly unsurprising, something smug, something almost disgusting, about a writer, of all people, going on about how much he loves Hampstead, and, more importantly, 2) What I love about Hampstead is precisely its unLondonness. The view from Parliament Hill, taking in everything from the four chimneys of Battersea Power Station to the dull cluster of Canary Wharf, only emphasises this sense of difference – from that vantage point it feels like you are outside London, looking in. And the streets of Hampstead village at night do not feel like the streets of a fizzing metropolis. They are dark and silent enough to be inviting to owls – once I heard one hooting there, among the isolated pools of light. On summer Sundays when thousands of people from other parts of London flood the Heath– making it feel, for a few hours, as if it might actually be in London – I would tend, when I lived there, to stay away. Weekday mornings, that was more like it. A few people walking dogs – of which I was one – and that's it.
Let me tell you about one particular morning. I had just moved back to London after two years away. I had rented a small flat in Hampstead. It was early February and, on that first morning, I woke up early to find that it had snowed during the night. Quite a lot of snow by London standards – enough, anyway, to make everything look more or less white. So that was quite exciting, and when I took my dog for a walk, obviously we made for the Heath, which was only a minute or so away. That walk turned out to be one of those ordinary yet luminous experiences that you never forget. The enormous snow-stillness of the Heath that morning. Limitless, was how it seemed to me. I did not know the Heath well then. It was still very mysterious, especially under the snow, and it seemed to be waiting for me. And only me – there was no one else there that morning, that I saw.
It wasn't as early as all that – it was eight o'clock or something, and a few miles away people were pouring out of Tube stations, and the Central Line was jam-packed, and the buses weren't stopping because they were already full and ploughed on through the slush. And that's what London is about, surely – life, movement, noise, people. "Brokers … roaring like beasts on the floor of the Bourse." London is about engagement, not withdrawal. Not solitude. Not silence. Not the sort of stillness where the whisper of some snow slipping from a branch makes you turn your head as if someone had said your name. Only the flightpaths, that morning, the moaning of the planes as they sloped towards Heathrow, low enough over Hampstead for me to make out their livery – Air China or Emirates or American Airlines – indicated that, although I was surrounded by unexcitable trees, and it was quiet enough for me to hear my shoes squeezing the snow with a little squeak every time I moved, I was at one of the world's nodes.
So what am I doing writing about Hampstead? It was my intention to write about how much I like some very lively London locality, some London-lively place, like the Barbican, or the Cask pub in Pimlico, or the view from Waterloo Bridge. I seem, though, to have used up all my words.

So, can we call it Autumn yet? I feel like I come alive in the Autumn with all the colours, fashion, smells and events. I look forward to it all year! I love dressing for Autumn as it really captures my style. This time of year I live in jeans, boots, jumpers and coats. Today, I'm showing you an outfit that completely sums up my Autumn style. This outfit, in my opinion, is perfect for uni as it keeps me warm, looks smart and is comfy!
These jeans have fast become my staple black jeans. They are the Ridley jeans from ASOS in clean black. I love the fit of them although I could do with them 1 or 2 inches longer as they cut me off right in the cankles!! Around the hips and waist, they fit great, though. The details are gold but I still mix it with silver accessories as it's not too much of a bright yellow gold.
Looking through my Pinterest boards I noticed a lot of the photos featured a blazer. I never thought it would suit me until I found this one from Missguided. I actually saw it on Chloe Plumsteads Instagram ( amazing account). I love this one as it's not too structured, so still remains feminine. The pattern allows you to pair with most plain items of clothing and you could probably pull it off in Summer as well. I love it and I'm so happy I bought it!!
For Jewellery, I'm wearing ALL Stella and Dot. They are a brand I've only become familiar with this year and I am such a fan now. They have a massive range of styles and also have lovely bags and sunglasses as well. Here, I've paired the Open Druzy Cuff* (£48) with the Simple Knot Cuff* (£32) which I think complement each other perfectly. I love how the crystals of the Open Druzy adds a pop of colour against the simple design of the Knot Cuff. I'm so impressed with the quality of these items, they're so so beautiful. For my necklace, I chose the Luna Pendant Necklace* (£40) which is gold AND silver, which I think is genius. I love this as I can wear with a gold belt, a silver belt and any kind of jewellery. It's such a good weight and I can feel that it'll last me a long time.
I really hope you enjoyed reading this post and seeing what kind of fashion I'll be sporting this season. Until next time!
