The Platform Shoe Trend: Which One Fits Your Personality?

I’m so excited to learn that 70s style clothing, shoes and accessories are trending this Spring. What’s also great for fashionable pregnant mamas to know is that the platform style shoe is also hot. 
I love platforms because they are not as uncomfortable to wear as other high heel styles, yet they come in so many varieties, styles, colors and designs.  The thicker toe area below the balls of the feet provide more support than traditional heels.  For these reasons, the shoe is even a better option for moms-to-be who want some height but not the instability as traditional heels and pumps. 
I’ve curated a collection of styles of platform shoe that have their own personality. Which one matches you best?

Report: Online Breast milk sellers are mixing cow’s milk to pad supply

A new report discovered that more than one in 10 sampled breast milk sold online contained cow’s milk which could be harmful to babies with dairy intolerance, especially preemies, doctors say.
The findings from Center of BioBehavioral Health at the Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital found that women peddling their breast milk as liquid gold” in web exchange sites may be purposefully mixing in the cow’s milk and exploiting a vulnerable population of breastfeeding women with low-milk production.
The milk sell for $1 to $2 per ounce and the mixing is so high that investigators do not think it was an accident but probably done to amplify supply and make more money.

EASTER: The Science of the Perfect Dyed Egg

If you celebrate Easter, you’ll likely be embarking on the questionable quest to hide a bunch of hard-boiled eggs around your house and hope—oh, hope beyond hope—that all of them get found. Before the hunt, though, you’ll have to dye those eggs in a stinking bath of food dye, water, and vinegar. The vinegar part has always bugged me. Hard boiled eggs have a pungent enough aroma on their own; why do we need to add another acrid smell to the dying process?
It’s not just to keep the kids dunking instead of drinking, it turns out. Most food dyes are acid dyes, so called because they only work in acidic conditions. The vinegar—a solution of 5 percent acetic acid in water—is there to bring the pH low enough that the dye will actually bind. But is there an ideal pH for perfect egg-dying saturation? A normal box of food dye says to add 1 teaspoon of vinegar for every half-cup of water—but would tweaking that acidity by adding more or less vinegar get you better results? WIRED decided to find out.
First, some explanation: Why does acid make the dyes dye better? The colored molecules themselves are sodium salts of a phenolic acid. Once those dyes get thrown into water, the sodium ions fall off, leaving behind the negatively-charged part of the molecule. Add vinegar, and you’re adding lots of free protons—positively charged hydrogen ions—which fly in to take the place of those missing sodiums. The hydrogens, now associated with the dye molecules, are important because they allow hydrogen bonding. Their slightly positive charge acts like a magnet, attracting it (and the dye, in tow) to slightly negative atoms in the protein molecules and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the eggshell.
The color you see on the egg—red, yellow, blue, green–depends on how each particular dye molecule absorbs and reflects different wavelengths of light. But the saturation of that color depends on how strong a bond you can get between the egg’s calcium-filled surface and the dye molecules. So you gotta add vinegar. But how much?

What your astrological sign & birth order reveal about your success odds

Are you a single child? Last of three? Are you an Aries? Pisces? These seemingly mundane details might determine your profession, title — and even your salary, according to a new survey of more than 5,000 workers, conducted by CareerBuilder. Do we actually buy into the astrology-is-destiny theory? Nah. But go ahead, blame your failure to get that last promotion on the fact that you were a middle child. And then get back to work and prove the theory wrong. In the meantime, consider this a humorous insight into your lot in life. And feel free to forward the findings, along with your condolences, to middle siblings and Aquarius friends and colleagues:It Pays To Be A Singleton

Only children were more likely to earn 6-figures salaries and hold executive-level positions. Maybe it’s something about getting more attention? Sidenote: FDR, Lance Armstrong & Robert De Niro were all raised only children.Only Children Might Be Miserable At The Top

Those with siblings were more satisfied at work. Maybe because they were better at making friends in the office?First-Borns Do Get More

At home, it was the freedom to walk to school alone or stay out later. At work, the first child is more likely to earn 6-figures and be CEO.Babies Are Good Mediators

No, not actual infants. But adults who were born last are more likely to be middle management.Middle Children Finish Last

Their baby books are less likely to be filled (after all, they’re not the first or the baby) and they’re more likely to hold low-level jobs and earn less than $35,000.Only Children Are Techies

Maybe it’s all that time spent alone? They’re also likely to go into health fields or protective services (like nursing or law enforcement). First-borns lean toward government gigs and the sciences, while middle children go into public service, including law enforcement, and care-taking (which may explain the lower salaries). Finally, the youngest end up in creative roles (like architecture or writing) and some join their only child pals in tech jobs.Virgos, Aries & Scorpios Fly High

They score 6-figure salaries, while Capricorns and Leos are often VPs or higher (although at the highest levels, Capricorns edge them out). Middle-management is filled with Aries, while those who fall into the Aquarius category tend to swim at the bottom in entry-level positions. More into happiness than salary? Virgos, Libras and Taurus are more satisfied on the job than others.
