Hey ya'll!
Welcome to our Crazy Farm Life.
Coming to you from a plot of land in the SE pocket of Oklahoma where life isn't always so perfect, rather, perfectly imperfect. I'm Cassie, deliciously married to Stan-my-man Shelton. We went to high school together, but didn't really "know or meet" one another until our university years at OBU. Go figure! As my late Nanny boastfully once said, "Your parents send you off to that expensive school, and you come back with a "home-boy!?" except I left out a few choice expletives she would have thrown in there. Ha! In the end, everyone fell in-love with Stan as did I.
And this is our herd.
I'm Cassie. Author of Crazy Farm Life, also known as Momma C, and a former classroom teacher turned literacy coach. Currently teaching reading at the Oklahoma School for the Blind, I have completed the challenge of learning Braille. Yea!
The hubs is retired from the family's 3rd generation grocery store, better known as "Shelton's Supermarket". It was a good 75+ year run. He enjoys a change of pace at one of the local banks in town. [I have to admit, I do too!]
Meet the Shenanigans. Don't let those precious faces fool you. No, deep inside, they know how to crack the house WiFi passcode that they've already been told they couldn't have because they suck it dry within 2.5 hours whilst smiling ever-so-preciously hiding the last piece of chocolate in the house and watching their Momma go instantaneously crazy in 2.5 seconds trying to find it. #imnotbitter :/ #ijustgeteven
Caedon - [the child who's name I shall not mention, but am going to anyway] loves basketball, OKC Thunder, pestering his sisters, and his new interest-g.i.r.l.s. Obviously, I was just the oven on this one. He's "ALL DAD"! Handsome little toot! Just wait until you see his baby pics. ;) #wewonttellhimshhhhhh
Sydney - aka the Animal Whisperer, lover of anything with 4 legs [less or more], thinks outside the box, and sees the world in a whole new light, and tbh, probably in the brightest of colors. This totally right-brained and super-creative, Syd has a beautiful voice, wit like her father, and a fierce desire to help others. This girl loves BIG! Don't believe her, ask one of her 7 cats. #theseeyesdontlie
Channing - Lego lover and teacher of all her stuffed animals. This girl knows her Math, makes clothes for her dolls, and interestingly enough, becomes half-mermaid during swimming season. Chan Chan is so incredibly independent, and I #LOVE that about her! She marches to her own drum. In fact, we're already discussing where she'll go abroad to study her favorite topic - "Fashion." #channingbenae #thenamesaysitall
I can't end with introducing our friends. Meet Mitch and Amanda Muñoz:
In 2014 Stan and I partnered with our newly made friends serving in Guatemala to help form a fair trade company called The Thrive Collective. If you value good quality, beautifully handmade products that help others to "thrive" and want learn more about this story, take 2 or 5 or 30 minutes over at The Thrive Collective. #purchasewithpurpose
We live one day at a time, thankful for the blessings along the way, and expect nothing but the EXTRAordinary.
I heard the following quote a few years ago and it's stuck with me ever since. It reminds me that we all have a space here. An important space to inspire and to be inspired. To keep dreaming for the impossible to see the light of fruition. It goes something like this:
"Sometimes it's the very people who no one imagines anything of, who DO the things that no one can imagine." Alan Turing
And I mustn't close without this passage of scripture that reminds me that no matter my [our] past, it will not have power over my [your] future and that the Lord desires His good for me, for US. To let go of our past is to cling for His HOPE in our future.
18 "Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland. - Isaiah 43
I'm so grateful to share this life with you! So grateful you landed here! And so grateful to get to know you more! We have a lot to catch up on...
Still learning. Still growing.

Sounds a little scary, huh? It's really pretty simple.
You can think of hardscapes as simply an outdoor room: They are patios, landscaped walkways, sitting walls, retaining walls, water features, fire pits, landscape lighting, grill surrounds, pergolas, and more.
Think about your own yard. If you walk out your back door and don't have a designated spot to comfortably sit and enjoy yourself, something tells me you would not go outside very often. But if you have a brick patio that has a table and comfy chairs, you probably sit there and enjoy your cup of coffee in the morning or a leisurely dinner in the evening. A place to relax and enjoy the beautiful flowers that are in bloom – that's the joy that hardscapes bring.
No matter what you like to do outside, there's a hardscape for you. Here are 8 hardscapes that can add beauty, functionality, and joy to your outdoor living:
Hardscapes are a great way to connect your home to your yard, and they make a huge difference in how you are able to use and enjoy your own yard. Hardscapes are also a worthy investment for the resale value of your house but also for you to enjoy this year!
Check out some landscapes before and after hardscape installation:

Since 2008, May has been declared the month of Exercise is Medicine. This is a time for everyone, from healthcare providers to members of the public, to celebrate the valuable health benefits of exercise. Regular exercise can help you control your weight, boost your energy levels, improve your mood, and even fight some diseases. Exercise has been shown to be beneficial in increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) also known as good cholesterol, which prevents high blood pressure. In addition, exercise can help prevent a wide range of health problems including stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, arthritis, and certain types of cancer.
This month's challenge is to be active every day for the month of May. Click on the picture below to download the Exercise is Medicine May Calendar. Fill in each day that you do an activity 30 minutes daily! SHOW IT TO ME ON JUNE 1ST AND ONE PERSON WILL WIN A FREE TRAINING SESSION!
So what counts as being active? I'm not going to ask you to run 10 miles every day (unless you want to of course). Even simple things like gardening or running around with your kids outside are great ways to take advantage of the benefits exercise has to offer. What's important is choosing activities you enjoy doing, and finding a way they can fit in your schedule.
Talk to a coworker during your lunch break and see if they want to take a quick walk with you. Take your kids to a local pool on a warm afternoon and see if you can catch them in a game of Marco Polo. Plant some flowers in your backyard or in pots around your home. Most importantly, enjoy the beauty of spring and the happiness you get from exercise!

Elisabeth Vathje has had her struggles at Whistler Sliding Centre.
But those were all behind her Friday afternoon as the Calgarian slid to her second career win, besting German Jacqueline Loelling by 0.84 seconds. Tina Hermann, also of Germany rounded out the podium in third while Great Britain's Lizzie Yarnold, the 2014 Olympic champion, competing in her first race in 21 months, was just a hundredth of a second off the podium.
"I'm speechless. I've struggled on this track and this race was freeing," Vathje said. "I love this track now. It's so fun and I'm blessed to represent Canada.
"I flowed with the track. The ice speaks and it was speaking to me today."
Vathje had a strong 2014-15 season with three podium appearances, including a win at her home track in Calgary, but finished no higher than sixth last season. The 22-year-old hopes the win sets her up for a special campaign in 2016-17.
"Last year, I tried a science experiment and put some weight on (20 pounds) and it didn't work," she said, noting she's started meeting with a sports psychologist and feels different heading into the season. "Last year, I was like 'Oh, I'll get back on the podium,' like it'll just happen but no, you're setting goals and they're achievable every run."
Fellow Canadian Mirela Rahneva placed fifth, setting a new start record on her second run with a 4.79-second dash.
The Ottawa product, who briefly held the record before it was broken by Jane Channell, was thrilled with the result in her World Cup debut.
"It's mind-blowing. I knew I felt good off the block and I kept my shins tight," she said. "I knew I felt powerful and I just got on and hoped for the best.
"I like to get a good breath in before I go down and sometimes I struggle to catch that breath, that perfect breath before going down. Today, it all came together. I got that breath the first time the first run and right before the second run I, at the last minute, caught it and was like 'That's it, I know I'm going to have a good run with that breath.'"
It was a heartbreaking day for Jane Channell, the third Canadian on the day, as she placed 16th. Channell, who hails from North Vancouver, said she felt her runs were solid, but the times just weren't there in the end.
Channell, who missed some practice sessions with an illness earlier in the week, said some of the conditions had changed from Thursday to Friday as snow fell during the first run of competition.
"My runs felt good. They felt like they were the cleanest runs I had all week but the equipment wasn't there, so it's disappointing," she said. "It's always a gamble on race day for equipment with which runners you use and which you don't use but unfortunately this time, I lost the gamble."
IBSF action continues Friday night at 6 p.m. with men's two-man bobsleigh.

No results matched your search
Five Below, Inc. (NASDAQ:FIVE) is slated to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2018 results on Mar 27. In the trailing four quarters, the bottom line of this specialty value retailer has outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by average of 9.1%. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 15.8%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter under review is pegged at $1.57 compared with $1.18 reported in the year-ago quarter. We note that the Zacks Consensus Estimate has been stable in the last 30 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $601.7 million, up approximately 19.2% from the year-ago quarter.
Let's delve deeper and take a look at the factors that are likely to influence the results of the to-be-reported quarter.
Factors Holding Key
Five Below's impressive merchandise assortment, focus on pre-teen customers, enhancement of digital and e-commerce channels, and pricing strategy aids the company to stand tall amid a competitive retail landscape. These along with healthy performance of new outlets and decent comparable sales run help propel the top line. Further, the company remains focused on achieving efficient cost structure, solid average net sales per store, supply-chain initiatives and economies of scale.
Management's primary focus on teens and pre-teens, aids the company enhance customer base by attracting shoppers. The company is known for its impressive range of merchandise, as it remains committed toward making innovations and refreshing product range per the evolving consumer trends. During the holiday season, management expanded their selection with amazing value toys and games, capitalizing on the toy opportunity.
However, we note that SG&A expenses have been increasing for quite some time now. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the same increased 25.8% on account of store and corporate related expenses. Analysts believe that SG&A expenses are likely to increase in the near future due to store growth. Certainly, this will to an extent hurt the company's operating income, unless fully mitigated by substantial increase in net sales.
Decent Holiday Sales form a Perfect Base for Q4
This Philadelphia, PA-based company reported solid sales results for the quarter-to-date period (starting Nov 4, 2018 until Jan 5, 2019). The company's net sales surged 24.6% to $526.1 million, while comparable sales witnessed growth of 4.9%.
As a result of impressive quarter-to-date performance, management expects fourth-quarter sales to marginally surpass the previously provided view and record earnings at the high-end of the guidance range. Five Below had projected fourth-quarter net sales in the range of $593-$600 million with comparable sales growth of 3-4%. Meanwhile, earnings per share is anticipated between $1.53 and $1.57.
For fiscal 2018, the company envisioned net sales in the range of $1.550-$1.557 billion with comparable sales growth of 3.3-3.7%. Earnings for the fiscal year is estimated to be in the band of $2.60-$2.64 per share.
What the Zacks Model Unveils?
Our proven model does not conclusively show that Five Below is likely to beat earnings estimates this quarter. This is because a stock needs to have both — a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) — for this to happen. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they're reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Five Below has a Zacks Rank #4 but an Earnings ESP of +0.48%. This makes surprise prediction difficult.
Stocks Poised to Beat Earnings Estimates
Here are some companies you may want to consider as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to post earnings beat.
Darden Restaurants (NYSE:DRI) has an Earnings ESP of +1.07% and a Zacks Rank #2. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
PVH Corp. (NYSE:PVH) has an Earnings ESP of +1.14% and a Zacks Rank #3.
Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings (NASDAQ:OLLI) has an Earnings ESP of +1.34% and a Zacks Rank #2.
Zacks' Top 10 Stocks for 2019
In addition to the stocks discussed above, would you like to know about our 10 finest buy-and-holds for the year?
Who wouldn't? Our annual Top 10s have beaten the market with amazing regularity. In 2018, while the market dropped -5.2%, the portfolio scored well into double-digits overall with individual stocks rising as high as +61.5%. And from 2012-2017, while the market boomed +126.3, Zacks' Top 10s reached an even more sensational +181.9%.

Mental Toughness Lesson #3 - Getting from the Why to the How
Creating a solution based mindset is at the heart of any mental toughness development plan. Far too often we focus on the problem or the potential problems and then do nothing, because they seem insurmountable. When we change our perspective from the "why is this happening?" to the "how am I going to accomplish this?" we create action. The solution is always the mission. #mentaltoughness #shifthappens #leadership #solutionbasedmindset #ilovewhatido

No blackout of Rajnath Singh speech in Islamabad: MEA
New Delhi, Aug 4:
The government on Thursday described as "misleading" media reports that Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh's address to a Saarc ministerial meet in Islamabad had been blacked out.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup said "media reports of a 'blackout' of our Home Ministers statement are misleading".
He said: "It is the standard Saarc practice that the opening statement by the host country is public and open to the media while the rest of the proceedings are in camera, which allows for a full and frank discussion of issues."
Rajnath Singh, who was in Islamabad on a two-day visit, spoke after his Pakistani counterpart Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan at the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) ministerial meet in Islamabad.
Only the speech of Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was directly telecast.
Singh returned home on Thursday. (IANS)

How safe is a self-drive tour in South Africa?
- In general South Africa is not a lot more dangerous than other countries in the world. Most crimes and acts of violence take place in the townships of bigger cities. Public areas around shopping centres, restaurants, banks etc. are very safe. Nevertheless you should stick to a couple of rules to avoid risky or dangerous situations. This includes staying away from dodgy areas, walking in the dark, carrying a lot of cash or expensive cameras on you, wearing flashy jewellery and leaving bags or valuables in the car.
What is the infrastructure like (road conditions, shops, petrol stations)?
- South Africa in general has a very good infrastructure and with the exception of private roads and some roads in the national parks, most of the roads are tarred.
- Petrol stations can be found alongside all major routes and highways as well as in cities/villages.
- There are more than enough different and well-stocked shops available and many petrol stations also have a little convenience shop.
On which side of the road will I be driving?
- In Southern Africa vehicles are right-hand drives hence driving is done on the left-hand side of the roads.
Do I need an international driver's licence?
- According to the law, all you need is a valid driver's licence which has been issued in English and has a photo thereon. If your national driver's licence has not been issued in English or does not have a photo, you need an international driver's licence.
- As per the terms and conditions of the rental car companies, only a valid national driver's licence and a credit card is required.
Can I enter the national parks with the rental car?
- Most roads within the national parks are tarred or good gravel and all are accessible to rental cars. Please however take note that you have to stick to the rules of the national parks at all time. These include: remaining in your vehicle unless you are in a designated area, sticking to the speed limit of 50 km/h on tar and 40 km/h on gravel roads and not littering.
- Most national parks offer guided game drives in open safari vehicles accompanied by a professional ranger. Night drives are especially recommendable if you are interested in seeing the nocturnal animals. All game drives can be booked at the camps directly.
How will I be able to find my way around?
- Along with your travel documents you will receive a voucher that includes detailed directions and contact details for all the pre-booked accommodation.
- Some rental car companies provide road maps but as not all of them do, it is advisable to bring a good map with a map scale of at least 1:1,5 mill. with you.
What meals are included and what food can be expected on tour?
- Meals are included as indicated in the itinerary.
- Breakfast usually consists of a full English breakfast and cereals, toast, cheese, jam, fruits, juices, tea, coffee.
- Since most of the days are spent on the road or in the national parks, no lunches have been included.
- As South Africa is well-known for its great cuisine and there is such a big variety of different restaurants, dinner has been excluded on most days. This allows you to make your own choices and to enjoy different dining experiences. Most restaurants offer an à la carte menu with different meat, poultry, fish, rice, pasta and vegetable dishes.
What about the money matter?
- You can either exchange your own currency for South African Rand at one of the exchange bureaus at the airport or in town or you can go to an ATM and draw South African Rand at the current rate of exchange. Please note that you need a Maestro card or any credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club) and your pin code to draw money.
- Credit cards are also widely accepted but as there are still some shops and petrol stations that do not accept credit cards, make sure you always have some cash on hand.
Do I need vaccinations for this self-drive tour?
- As the Kruger Park is situated within a malaria area, we would recommend some precautions. Please speak to your doctor or travel clinic about the different prophylaxis and their effects and side effects.
- Although none of the countries visited on tour require proof of immunization against Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio and Hepatitis A & B, we nevertheless recommend those vaccinations.

An important part of managing your diabetes is taking care of your feet. People who have diabetes are more likely to have problems with poor blood circulation (flow) or loss of feeling (sensation) in their feet. Poor circulation to the foot may lead to sores that are slower to heal. Loss of feeling or sensation is caused by damage to the nerves in the lower legs and feet. This nerve damage occurs as a result of blood sugar levels that have been high over a long period of time. As a result of loss of feeling or sensation, a person with diabetes may not be aware of temperature.
For example:
If your feet get too hot, such as with the use of a hot water bottle or stepping into hot water, your feet can suffer a burn and you will not feel it.
You may not feel injuries, such as blisters developing.
Your may not feel anything when you step on a sharp object. You can damage your feet and not even know it.
Foot damage can lead to serious lifelong problems. That is why we need to take care of our feet. Please contact us at the office today to arrange an appointment if you have any questions or concerns about your Diabetes.

A theme song for kicking back and relaxing!
What happens when you break up with someone -- and you can't get them out of your mind?

A song that every parent will understand.
Ultimately, a song of forgiveness.

Might I humbly suggest a couple of different ways to spend your Black Friday?
1. Rather than spending hundreds or thousands of dollars the day after Thanksgiving, why not use at least a significant portion of that money to invest in your self-publishing project? Use it to publish your book. Hire a good editor or ghostwriter (email@example.com), artist/graphic designer, or publicist. Register for a good writing class. Donate to a writer who's struggling financially this season.
2. Many stores will open at 4:00 a.m. in the morning. Rather than running out in the moonlight to spend money, why not write a few pages (a chapter would be good) for your book? At the very least, get up early, write first, then go shopping.

Easy Ways to Maximize Limited Language Learning Time
It's a fact of life – most people are busy.
You've got a full time job or school to worry about, possibly a family to take care of, and countless other responsibilities. Not everyone wants to spend their downtime studying either, you need a little time to relax and have fun too.
When you add all of that up, there isn't always a lot of time left for learning a new language. If you're living in a country that primarily speaks the language you're learning it's not as much of an obstacle, but not everyone has that luxury. Thankfully there are some tips and tactics you can use to get the most out of both the limited time you can dedicate to practice and all the downtime you've got throughout the day.

[2] Why do we use median price and not average price?
Median price is used in the analysis as it reflects a more accurate view of the market since it is typically less affected by large variations in the data. For example, let's assume that the project that you are looking at includes 5 properties, as listed below with transacted prices.
Property#1 – RM350, 000
Property#2 – RM370, 000
Property#3 – RM 310,000
Property#4 – RM1, 200,000
Property#5 – RM335,000
To determine the median price, we sort the list in ascending order, then pick the middle price which is RM350,000.
Prices in ascending order
Property#3 – RM 310,000
Property#5 – RM 335,000
Property#1 – RM350,000
Property#2 – RM370,000
Property#4 – RM1, 200, 000
Property #4 is priced much higher than the rest. This will have a significant effect on the average price, which happens to be $513,000. (sum all prices and divide by total transactions). Hence, the median price is a much more realistic interpretation compared to average price.
[3] The capital growth value shown is the average capital appreciation of all transactions within the project/scheme throughout the review period.

Natural remedy for menopause to prevent hot flushes and balance hormones
Use MellowPause for immediate relief from:
- Hot flashes
- Insomnia
- Moodiness
- Restlessness and irritability
- Menopausal acne
Product Info
What is Menopause?
Menopause is the time at "mid-life" when a woman has her last period. It happens when the ovaries stop releasing eggs - usually a gradual process. Sometimes it happens all at once.
Perimenopause is the period of gradual changes that lead into menopause. Although it can pass almost unnoticed for some women, others experience changes in mood, sleep, weight, appetite and concentration and may also suffer from uncomfortable and embarrassing hot flashes and night sweats. Menopause can be a stop-start process that may take months or years.
During perimenopause, the balance between the hormones oestrogen and progesterone begins to change. Hormone levels fluctuate, causing changes just as they did during adolescence. Sometimes oestrogen levels decline, while at other times there is a condition called 'oestrogen dominance', which may be a factor in some of the more troublesome symptoms of menopause as well as PMS and complaints like PCOS.
Induced menopause occurs if the ovaries are removed or damaged as in hysterectomy or chemotherapy. In this case, menopause begins immediately, with no perimenopause. The time after menopause is called postmenopause.
The average age for a woman's final period is 51, but it can occur as early as age 40 and as late as age 60. Each woman's experience with menopause is unique. Some women experience very few changes during this time, while others report noticeable symptoms.
What is Oestrogen dominance?
Oestrogen dominance is thought to occur when there is a drop in progesterone production during menopause. While progesterone levels can drop to almost zero (due to the cessation or slowing down of ovulation), oestrogen levels only drop by about 50% during menopause. This is thought to lead to a condition called Oestrogen Dominance.
It is useful to remember, however, that an alteration in the ratio between oestrogen and progesterone is a normal part of female aging and, in itself should not cause problems. Some researchers believe that it is the increase in female stress levels, as well as xeno-oestrogens (synthetic chemicals that mimic oestrogen in the body and found in pesticides, certain plastics, and the food and water supply) that have been responsible for the increase in troublesome menopausal symptoms caused by oestrogen dominance. Other sources of xeno-oestrogens are synthetic hormones found in the contraceptive pill and HRT. Xeno-oestrogens are thousands of times stronger than systemic oestrogen and can cause severe hormonal imbalances. Many naturopaths believe that the key to a healthy menopause is to keep these xeno-oestrogens out of the oestrogen receptor sites in the body, thereby encouraging healthy oestrogen/progesterone ratios.
Black Cohosh is one of the more thoroughly researched herbs which contains phytoestrogens and is approved by the German 'Kommission E" - a body similar to the FDA. Because Black Cohosh has mild oestrogen-like effects it will bind to oestrogen receptors, without raising oestrogen levels in the body - thereby lowering the oestrogenic activity of the body. Phytoestrogens can compete with excess systemic oestrogen and xeno-oestrogens and therefore help to balance systemic oestrogen production. In addition, research suggests that Black Cohosh also suppresses Luteinizing Hormone (LH), high levels of which are responsible for hot flashes, among other things.
Black Cohosh is one of the principle ingredients in our MellowPause remedy, along with Pasque Flower which is a well known tonic for the female reproductive system. In the case of severe menopausal symptoms, we recommend that MellowPause be taken together with Don Quai, which has been used for many centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Don Quai is also well researched and apart from its phyto-oestrogenic properties, it has also been shown to be effective in the induction of progesterone receptor activity, thereby further balancing the oestrogen/progesterone ratios. The changes leading to menopause may seem much more intense than those during puberty. The intensity may be affected by a woman's feelings about aging, including her reactions to social judgments about aging.
The more you know about menopause, the better prepared you will be to manage menopause-related problems.
Symptoms of Menopause
- achy joints
- hot flashes
- temporary and minor decrease in the ability to concentrate or recall
- changes in sexual desire
- extreme sweating and 'hot flashes'
- headaches
- frequent urination
- early wakening
- vaginal dryness
- mood changes
- insomnia
- night sweats
- conditions commonly associated with PMS
The Natural Way
Dealing with menopause is best accomplished via a combination of diet, healthy lifestyle and alternative or natural treatments. However, many doctors are too quick to prescribe radical treatments such as synthetic Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) without fully educating their patients on the risks and side effects associated with the treatment. Recent studies have strongly suggested a link between synthetic HRT and cancer. It is therefore advisable that all women consider alternative methods of managing menopausal symptoms, before embarking on conventional HRT. There are many effective natural remedies as well as lifestyle changes that can result in improved systemic health and reduced symptoms of menopause.
Healthy transition during menopause can be assisted in a variety of ways, especially by maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle. Avoid foods high in salt and fat, eat plenty of fresh fruit and salads, drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and stay away from the coffee! Follow a regular exercise routine and make sure that you take time to relax and 'chill' every day.
What is MellowPause?
MellowPause is a proven herbal compound formula, clinically developed, and pharmaceutically manufactured. It provides natural remedies that work and eliminate the need to endure the risks and side effects of HRT. Remember, menopause is a transitional stage and not an illness and is therefore best treated in a healthy and supportive way. Conventional HRT should only be used as a last resort in very severe cases.
Why is MellowPause better than HRT and Soy?
The risks and long term effects of HRT are well known, and MellowPause is a much more comprehensive solution than soy-based products. While soy has been shown to have positive effect on hormone balancing, MellowPause's combination of ingredients make it effective for not only hormone balancing, but also as an effective treatment of other menopausal symptoms such as irritability, mood swings and insomnia.
How has MellowPause helped others?
"I was very depressed and my moods were up one day and down the next. When I went to my doctor she said that I was starting to go through the menopause even though I was only 41 years old. She told me about this remedy and I tried it. I take it every day and I feel fine - not moody anymore, thank goodness!"
- Belle
"I have been taking your recommended herbs, Dong Quai, MellowPause and Femalite for a couple of months. I do have to tell you that all of my symptoms have totally disappeared. I probably started your course about last week of May. My sister is actually a Homeopath practicing in London and I will be visiting her in September and I can't wait to share my news with her! Thank you."
- Clare L.
"I used to wake up at night absolutely drenched in sweat! I've been taking Dong Quai and MellowPause for about two months now and I can really see the difference. I am not sweating at night anymore and I feel much calmer."
- Molly
What are the Ingredients?
- Cimicifuga Racemosa (Black Cohosh) is a relaxing nerve tonic and has been used over the ages as a remedy for female gynaecological problems. Recent clinical studies done in Germany have confirmed that Cimicifuga is strongly estrogenic and that it is effective in relieving menopausal symptoms. It has as its main constituents triterpene glycosides, cinnamic acid derivatives, chromone, isoflavones, tannins and salicylic acid.
- Pulsatilla Vulgaris (Pasque Flower) is an important nerve relaxant and mild sedative, which is also a soothing analgesic for the female reproductive organs. Pulsatilla has also been used by patients trying to recover from dependence on benzodiazepine tranquillizers.
How do I use MellowPause?
Directions: 10 to 15 drops in a 1/4 glass of water three times daily or as prescribed.
How long until I see results?
MellowPause gets to work quickly and noticeable results are usually obtained after a few doses, sometimes sooner. It usually takes a little longer for reduction in common hot flashes to be felt. However, with regular use MellowPause will continue to provide ongoing benefits to the menopausal and perimenopausal woman.
How long will a bottle last?
One bottle of MellowPause will last 25-30 days.

Mansi Parikh, VP of Admissions
What do you love about SWIB? The camaraderie that the women (and allies!) share. There seems to be a really supportive community, and the emphasis on helping each other succeed is such an amazing thing to be a part of!
Favorite SWIB Memory: The SWIB conference that I attended as an accepted student! It was my first introduction to SWIB and to current club members. I remember feeling so empowered by the women I met, and how engaged and excited they were to be at the conference and working on ways to best support each other personally and professionally.
Favorite Part about Stern: The community. It is unlike any other that I've been a part of (even as an NYU undergrad) and the genuine relationships I've formed with fellow classmates over the past two months have been so incredible. It sounds like such a cliche, but everyone is collaborative, willing to help, and really works to make sure that we all succeed together. I had heard about the Stern community before I started, but getting to finally experience it, and having it go above and beyond my expectations has been the best part of being at Stern. And of course being in NYC! I've been living here for 7 years but the charm hasn't worn off yet!
Advice for women considering pursuing business school: Do it! Pursuing an MBA can be such an amazing opportunity, whether your goal is to switch industries, gain access to a new network, or to explore your career opportunities. I would urge you to visit schools you might be interested in, ask lots of questions, and find a program that aligns with your professional and personal goals. There's always so much talk about "fit", but it really is important to make sure you end up at a school that "fits" your career goals and is a place you'll be happy spending two years. Finally, take a risk! Consider applying to schools that may be out of your comfort zone or in a new geographic location-you might end up finding an amazing program where you can thrive!
Fun Fact: I love photography! I've been to 30 countries and have had the opportunity to photograph the most incredible cities and natural landscapes.

Moon phases necklace
Moon phases necklace
Moon phases necklace, laser cut in cherry wood.
The minimalist design and use of negative space means that the colour of your clothes will show through the moon-shaped holes, so the necklace will look a little different each time you wear it!
I designed this statement necklace shortly after finishing my PhD in Astrophysics! It combines my love of science and laser cut jewellery. I hope you love it as much as I do.
Did you know that the moon rotates on its axis once every 28 days, which is the same time as it takes the moon to orbit the Earth? That's why there's a 'dark side of the moon' which we can't see from Earth, because it's always facing away from us. In actual fact the 'dark side' is illuminated by the Sun just as much as the light side, but we just can't see it!
This necklace comes in a Cepeid Studio branded gift box as standard (see last listing pictures).
All my items are beautifully finished and are hand-made by me in my Paris studio.
This necklace is the perfect gift for any science-lover! If you have any questions, just send me a message.
Approximate sizes:
Height: 2cm (3/4")
Width: 10cm (4")
Depth: 0.3cm (1/8")
Chain length: 45cm (18")
You can find a smaller version of this necklace here.
Cherry wood & silver plated chain.
Please note that the grain of the wood varies between pieces and sometime features knots etc, so your piece of jewellery will be one of a kind.
Care tips:
This necklace is made from wood, so make sure it stays dry. No accidental trips in the washing machine, please!
The chain is silver plated, so to keep it in tip-top condition you should keep it away from soaps, makeup, perfumes, and other chemicals.


text: If it is easy, nobody will pay you to do it It boils down to this: People don't want to pay you for something they could do themselves. I've had so many chats with photographers over the last week, in the classroom and in industry, about why are things so damn hard, complex or tiring? Yes, lugging a bunch of extra lighting gear around can be hard. Yes, Photoshop is complicated to learn and hard to use. Yes, that camera technique takes more than a minute to get good at. And that's a good thing because … "That's why people pay you to do it." Your skills, your patience, your persistence to learn frequency separation or back-button focus – all of the sweat, strain and hours of practice – that's why people hire you, because you can do something they can't. It's why I pay my hairdresser or my mechanic. They can do stuff I can't do at home. People pay photographers that are willing to sweat for them. Look at the legends. @chasejarvis. @joemcnallyphoto. @zarias. It's not just talent. They're better than most because they outwork most. Photography is great like that. It's a muscle, not a gift. Flex it often, and you'll be rewarded. (at Albury, New South Wales, Australia) Mark Jesser15 August 2017Comment Twitter LinkedIn0 Reddit 0 Likes

Where: Village Underground
When: Tuesday 11th

What: Julius Caesar in Cinemas
Where: All participating cinemas

Where: Now Gallery

chotto matte miami
The design blends Chotto Matte's signature Tokyo urban vibe with Miami's tropical life. The 220-seat restaurant and bar features Shou Sugi Ban wood ceilings, a highly graphic marble floor and lush, hanging gardens.
The large floating ceiling inspired by an abstracted Japanese roof known as 'Irimoya' delivers year-round al fresco dining, with a fully retractable roof. Imported in its entirety, a 19-tonne Sicilian lavastone boulder creates a dramatic focal point within this 'Cenote' cave between the sushi bar and cocktail area, while vibrant murals created by local street artists pour over interior walls.

Has anyone written a fictionalized version an episode in their family history?
I have a great story about my ancestors. They were killed in the Sioux uprising of 1862 in Minnesota. Some call it The Dakota War and now there's a film of the same name. That's on my mother's side. On my father's side, I may have a tiny bit of Sioux blood in me. I've always thought there's a great story in there. I'm not sure I can pull it off, but that's a different question.
There are only a couple of accounts of what happened to my ancestors. They all came from a neighboring family that was with them near the end, but were split up. The only other evidence was the finding of their bodies. There's a monument to them in the town of Hutchinson, MN.
I'm just curious if anyone has tried this and how they dealt with familial reactions, etc. Like I said, I'm not sure I could pull this story off without changing all the names and adding more fiction than fact.

June 2010 and 3 yachts from Lossiemouth visit Orkney. Here we are on a temporary pontoon kindly provided by Magnus Spence in East Weddell Sound. We had a safari supper split between the boats, Agenda, Italdo and Saga - by moonlight! Magnus joined us (of course).
Happy memories indeed!
