Versatility is key with the LaDivine J836 long off shoulder evening gown, which blends together a structured mermaid base and a full, detachable overskirt. It features a deep off-shoulder sweetheart neckline as a sharp horizontal framing for the upper body, really anchoring the statuesque core of the bodice. This allows the wearer to transition from a streamlined, body-contouring silhouette to a high-drama, expansive profile by utilizing the secondary layer of fabric.
Body-contouring tailoring follows the natural lines through the torso and hips to keep this mermaid skirt anchored and secure. A great interaction between the matte lace textures and the reflective rhinestone clusters lends a rich professional finish to saturated tones such as Emerald and Royal. For those looking for a formal gown with high detailing that balances sharp, off-shoulder tailoring with customizable runway-inspired volume, this piece is available in a size range from 6 to 20.
Key Features:
- Dimensional Overskirt Design: A removable layer that adds significant architectural volume, allowing for two distinct silhouettes within a single dress.
- Structured Off-Shoulder Sweetheart Neckline: A sharp, geometric frame for the shoulders and neckline that maintains a secure, grounded fit.
- Intricate Lace and Rhinestone Appliques: Features high-density floral embroidery and hand-set crystals for a constant, light-reflecting shimmer.
- Sculpted Mermaid Foundation: Precision-tailored to highlight the natural frame while providing a stable base for the added overskirt.
- Integrated Support System: Equipped with soft cup inserts and a full lining to ensure the bodice holds its shape without additional undergarments.
Available Colors:
Royal, Smoky Blue, Emerald, Mauve, Rose Gold

Wow!
Format: Paperback
I do not understand how the authors got so much information so comprehensibly into such a short book. It's 272 pages but it felt so short because the information is jam-packed in there and presented so well. It's one thing to know your stuff, it's a whole other ballgame to present it so people (without the level of training the author's have) can dive deep and really understand what you're saying and these authors nailed it. Great book, so interesting and easy to read.

"Don't Practice on Your Significant Other"
Format: Kindle
This book's authors have many years of experience interviewing CIA assets, CIA employees, and a variety of ordinary people in non-CIA settings. Their specialty is in determining when someone is lying. And they are good at it. This skill in detecting deception has done a lot of good, helping their clients make better decisions about hiring the right new employee, trusting the right baby sitter, and prosecuting the person who really "did it." Sometimes the skills bring pain, making clear that the waiting doctor's politeness covers bad news or that a spouse isn't really joking about "her boyfriend." Still, it's better to know, isn't it?
Detecting deception isn't magic and it isn't infallible. But it is possible to become better at it than most of us are now. The book identifies several barriers to accurately detecting deception. We expect most people to tell the truth, we ask the wrong questions, and we look for the wrong "tells" in other people's behavior. And we try to watch everything they do instead of focusing on a small number of reliable indicators.
Such reliable indicators of deception include certain kinds of verbal hesitations and evasions as well as specific body movements of which a deceiver is largely unaware. Readers learn to ask questions that require different mental processing from guilty versus innocent suspects. One technique is to ask questions a good guy will answer with an immediate--and perhaps angry--"No!" while the bad guy will need to give a longer, more carefully worded response. We watch for deception indicators that begin in the first five seconds after a question. And we look for clusters of indicators rather than for single actions. There is more to it, of course, but this is the core methodology the book presents. It's good stuff. And it's learnable.
I attended a training session conducted by the authors' company (QVerity, in partnership with hemsleyfraser) this week. I had listened to roughly three-quarters of the audiobook during a long car ride the day before. Based on what I learned from the book I was able to do well in the video pre-test, successfully distinguishing a lying suspect from the four who told the truth. Almost everyone was also able to do this after two hours of training. So it seems to me that the book is nearly as valuable as being taught these skills by the authors themselves. It is a well-written, fascinating book on a very useful topic. I highly recommend it.
A final comment. The book closes with a warning to use these skills only for good. And to not practice them on our significant others. Apparently catching your spouse in all of those little white lies can put unnecessary stress on the relationship. I may have made a variation of this error by giving my wife a copy of the book and inviting her along to the training. Not sure that was such a good idea. We'll see.

My honest review of the book . Spy The Lie
Format: Paperback
Spy the Lie" by Philip Houston is a practical and fascinating guide that teaches you how to spot deception using the same proven techniques developed by the CIA. Instead of looking for unreliable body language "clues," it focuses on identifying specific verbal and non-verbal behaviors that people show when they are feeling the stress of a lie. It’s written in very clear, everyday language with plenty of real-world examples, making it a great tool for anyone who wants to communicate more effectively and know who they can really trust.

A must have for, among others, clinical physicians and -especially- mental health experts
Format: Paperback
Very good book. The authors state in a clear and unambiguous way several "tips" that may help us detect deceptive behaviors. They repeat the points, making them easier to "stick". What's interesting is how simple they appear in their application; we are not talking about mathematical topology...The glossary completes admirably the book. Would I read it again? Definitively (a quality "seal" for me). As a physician (psychiatrist) I would definitively suggest it to all physicians that perform clinical work, but, above all, to psychiatrists...
