I turned 40 earlier this year and as I?ve noticed the changes in my body over the past few years, menopause has been on my mind a lot. I really appreciate the celebrities like Naomi Watts, Sofia Vergara, Halle Berry, and Brooke Burke who have spoken up about their experiences and how our bodies change as we age.
Kate Winslet, who turns 49 on October 5, was a guest on the September 10 episode of the podcast How to Fail with Elizabeth Day. During her appearance, a listener asked about ways to ?rekindle her sex drive? with her boyfriend. Kate responded by talking about the how testosterone levels in a woman?s body depletes as they age. She also shared her experience with testosterone therapy, which she credited with making her feel sexy again.
Kate Winslet is getting candid about her sex drive. The Lee actress, 48, said during a Sept. 10 episode of the How to Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast that her libido got a major boost after undergoing testosterone replacement therapy. While answering a listeners relationship question about how to rekindle her sex drive with her longtime boyfriend, Winslet gave advice and opened up about her health journey.
Sometimes women have a real dip in libido because there might be stuff going on with their thyroid. There could also be stuff going on with your level of testosterone, the Oscar winner said.
A lot of people dont know this, but women have testosterone in their body, when it runs out ? like eggs ? its gone,? Winslet added. ?And once its gone you have to replace it, and that is something that can be done and youll feel sexy again I know.
Winslet also suggested that the listener should have her thyroid levels and testosterone levels checked: Those things could have a direct impact on how youre actually feeling. Its not your fault, our bodies are weird and they behave in strange ways, especially as we get older.
She continued: So there could be a dip in those hormonal levels for you that is contributing much more than you think to how youre feeling about having sex with your boyfriend, so I would definitely go ahead and do that.
Winslet also noted that the listener should be easy on herself while navigating the situation.
The Titanic star also spoke about embracing body positivity during her podcast appearance, saying, We have to own [our bodies], this is the thing.
?Were so conditioned, women, in our 40s to think, Oh well Im creeping closer to the end. You think youre going into menopause and youll stop having sex, your boobs are going to sag and your skins going to go crepy,? she explained. ?First of all, so what? And secondly, its just conditioning.?
?I think women as they get older get juicier and sexier and more embedded in their truth of who they are and more powerful, more able to walk through the world and care less and that is an empowering thing,? Winslet said. ?I say to my friends all the time, ?You look amazing.? ?
Winslet has been outspoken about aging and her physicality. She previously spoke about being brave when it came to on-screen nudity. ?I know better than to waste precious energy on criticizing my physical self,? she told Vogue in a September 2023 interview.
?I think any woman is better off just saying: I believe in myself. It doesn?t matter what other people think; this is who I am ? let?s get on with it,? Winslet said.
[From People]
Ignoring how she describes womens bodies as getting juicier as they age (WTF does that even mean?!), I have always appreciated Kate?s honesty. How else are we going to find out about potential issues if they?re not actually talked about? This speaks to what I?ve always believed is why we need to destigmatize these topics. Otherwise, we suffer in silence and wonder what?s ?wrong? with us when it doesnt have to be like that. Has anyone had any experience with this? I?ve read up on hormone therapy during menopause but always thought that estrogen and progestin were the main focuses. Of course, as with everything, speak with your doctor and consider any potential side effects.

I have heard of having summer and winter foundation shades but I have never heard of anyone having a different shade for when they are on their menstrual cycle. Kate Winslet, who is an ambassador for LOreal, does just that. Kate is profiled in Allure magazine. In her interview, Kate said that she uses a different shade of foundation when she is menstruating. She said that mixing a couple of shades during her period helps cover blemishes and balances out the ruddiness in her skin from the hormonal changes. For the rest of the month, Kate uses a different shade. Below are a few more highlights via Page Six:
?Depending on my cycle, my skin can be a little bit more inflamed. Do you know what I mean?? she said in a recent interview with Allure.
To keep her skin looking even at all times of the month, the star stashes two shades of foundation in her makeup bag.
?At the beginning of my cycle, my skin is a lot more even,? she added, explaining that her trusty trick comes down to blending.
?In the middle of my cycle, everything fires up a little bit, so I mix a couple of tones,? she continued.
While she?s spent 10 years honing her plan for period skincare, the L?Oral ambassador keeps things simple when it comes to applying her go-to L?Oral True Match Foundation ($11) ? first using a brush, then blending with her fingers.
?I?ve noticed my face and how it?s changing a little bit more in the last year because there?s just been more time with yourself to look at those things,? she said, adding that she has ?quiet conversations with herself? while applying makeup.
[From Page Six]
As an ex-makeup artist I have never thought to mix shades while on my period. Whenever I would get a blemish during my period, Id use either a green concealer (if the blemish is red) or an orange concealer (if the blemish leans more towards purple) to cancel out the color before applying a foundation. You cant change the texture of a blemish but you can definitely neutralize the color so it doesnt stand out as much. I like this idea of mixing two colors if you are someone who gets ruddy during their periods. I am a dark-skinned Black girl so I only need to switch colors in the summer and fall when I get slightly darker and my undertone goes from neutral to red. Anyways, I love how Kate is experimenting with her cosmetics because that is what makeup is all about, experimentation. The method that Kate is using seems to work, so kudos to her. I would love to know if any of our Celebitches have tried the same method of changing their foundation during their menstrual cycle.
Welcome our new spokesperson Kate Winslet! ?A true icon determined to give a voice to the voiceless & a figurehead of women empowerment "I?m delighted to join the L?Oral Paris Family to say: it takes courage and strength to believe that you are worth it." #WorthIt #KateWinslet pic.twitter.com/mG0NyRUbgg

Kate Winslet didn?t do a ton of press around Mare of Easttown, but I am expecting her to talk more about the series now that every episode has aired and the conversations are not littered with spoilers. Plus, she?ll want to campaign for awards for her outstanding work in the limited series, and she absolutely will deserve all of the nominations and awards she gets for playing Mare. She was great! During her recent press campaigns, Kate hasn?t talked that much about her husband, Ned Rocknroll. I low-key wondered if there were some marriage issues, honestly. But in a recent interview, Kate was back to talking up Ned, who I guess we?re calling Edward Abel Smith now. Media outlets are referring to him as ?formerly known as Ned Rocknroll? so he really did change his name back, which he promised to do in 2019. Some highlights:
On Ned/Edward: Kate called him the superhot, superhuman, stay-at-home dad. Winslet shares a son, 7-year-old Bear Blaze with Abel Smith, 43, whom she married in 2012. He looks after us, especially me. I said to him earlier, like, Neddy, could you do something for me? He just went, Anything.? He is an absolutely extraordinary life partner.?
He reads lines with her: Im so, so, so lucky. For a man who is severely dyslexic, as he is, hes great at testing me on lines. Its so hard for him to read out loud, but he still does it.
He never thought he?d marry an actress: The Oscar winner admitted that Abel Smith didnt particularly plan on meeting and marrying a woman who is in the public eye and therefore having been so judged but that he handles it well.
He?s all about the calming energy: Hes vegan, does yoga, breath work and cold water swims.?
[From People]
For what it?s worth, Ned (I can?t get used to his real name) is from a well-connected family and his first wife was a well-connected aristocrat, then he began to eschew that sort of double-barrelled aristocratic life and fell in love with an actress. And now he?s a stay-at-home dad and he travels with Kate when she?s working and all of that. I would imagine he?s pretty happy, and clearly, it works for them. Her two previous partners were very much ?in the industry? and they often had competing work schedules, especially Sam Mendes. I feel like Winslet wanted something a lot different with this relationship.

| | Kate Winslet on filming in Pennsylvania: Wawa 'almost felt like a mythical place' | | Added 3 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I briefly lived in Pennsylvania and I still think about a handful of wonderful experiences I had in that state. One, I had the best chicken wraps of my life at a wonderful restaurant in Williamsport. Two, I really enjoyed the Philadelphia Inquirer, it?s a great newspaper. Three, Wawa is great. I love a regional convenience-store chain and Wawas are amazing, definitely one of the best regional chains you?ll find in America. Wawa just has a nice vibe to it, good beverage selections, an excellent deli, fresh food, fair prices and they are incredibly convenient. Because they are all over Pennsylvania. So of course Kate Winslet experienced her first Wawa when she was in Delaware County, Pennsylvania to film Mare of Easttown. Kate has been getting good reviews for her starring role in the limited series, although many Penn natives are in their feelings about her accent work. But her love of Wawa will endear her to Pennsylvanians.
Kate Winslet is gaga for Wawa. The British actress is gushing over the American convenience store that she grew to love as she filmed a HBO series about police investigations in Pennsylvania. The Oscar winner said the store played a key part in her research to prepare to star in ?Mare of Easttown,? as Delaware County, Penn. detective Mare Sheehan.
?So I subscribed to the Delco Times, so I would read this newspaper every day, and there would regularly be some article about Wawa,? Winslet told The Los Angeles Times? ?Envelope? podcast.
?It almost felt like a mythical place, Wawa,? the actor told the outlet. ?And so by the time I got there, I was like, ?Oh, it?s real!? It was like Lapland,? she said, laughing. ?Walking into a Wawa ultimately felt, it was kind of an honor in a funny way because to me, that was the heart of Delco. To finally walk through the door of a Wawa, I felt like, ?Ah, yes, I?m here! I belong! This is where it?s at!? Wawa.?
Winslet said the only thing she bought at the store was coffee, but enjoyed just ?hanging out? in the Mid-Atlantic chain. She got a vicarious taste of American fast food from her co-star, Evan Peters, who she told the podcast would stuff himself with the chain?s seasonal ?Gobbler? hoagie and then pass out in a food coma.
?It was this gigantic sub, basically ? or hoagie ? and it?s like turkey and the stuffing,? Winslet said in the interview. ?It?s basically a Thanksgiving meal in a hoagie.?
[From Page Six]
Americans really do love our regional chains and regional quirks. Wawa is a way of life for Pennsylvanians, much like Massachusetts people associate so strongly with Dunkin Donuts, Georgians love Krystals, etc. I feel like non-Americans tend to view Americans as a monolithic culture and if they took the time, they would see that there are so many of these weird and delightful regional quirks. My point: don?t make fun of Winslet on this! Wawa is great and I like that she was really embracing the research for the role.
People are making fun of Kate Winslet for being awestruck by Wawa, like "Pfft, rich person experiencing a normal convenience store, ha" but having lived in Philly for a few years now, Wawa is not simply a normal convenience store. It's part of the local landscape and culture. pic.twitter.com/McIBQ9RTrM

It really wasn?t that long ago when ?juicy gossip stories? regularly revolved around speculating about an actor?s sexuality, or openly discussing whether they would eventually come out of the closet. I still think about that with some celebrities too, even though we?re in a totally different age of LGBTQ+ acceptance, inclusion and education. It?s truly no one?s business if someone stays completely in the closet, or if a public figure stays in a glass closet, or if someone is out and doesn?t want to talk about it. I genuinely feel like we?ve gotten to the point in American/western culture where no one should be outed, but being out and proud LGBTQ+ is massively accepted in society. Enter Kate Winslet, and what is effectively a blind item about which of Kate?s friends are secretly gay.
Kate Winslet is opening up about a stigma in Hollywood that can create obstacles for gay actors. In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, the Academy Award winner said she knows at least four closeted actors who fear for their career if they come out.
I cannot tell you the number of young actors I know ? some well known, some starting out ? who are terrified their sexuality will be revealed and that it will stand in the way of their being cast in straight roles, she said. Now thats f***ed up. Im telling you. A well-known actor has just got an American agent and the agent said, I understand you are bisexual. I wouldnt publicise that. I can think of at least four actors absolutely hiding their sexuality. Its painful. Because they fear being found out. And thats what they say. I dont want to be found out.
Winslet also noted that the stigma applies to men more than anything.
Its bad news, she added, Hollywood has to drop that dated crap of, Can he play straight because, apparently, hes gay? That should be almost illegal. You would not believe how widespread it is. And it cant just be distilled to the question about gay actors playing gay parts. Because actors, in some cases, are choosing not to come out for personal reasons. And its nobodys business. Perhaps privacy. Perhaps conditioning and shame.
We could have had a conversation about how I feel about playing a lesbian and possibly taking that role from somebody, Winslet said. But Im done with not being honest about what my real opinions are, and I know the part was never offered to anybody else. In taking this part I had an opportunity to bring an LGBTQ story into living rooms.
As for whats necessary to bring about change, Winslet said, it will take more people to speak the way I am. I dont intend to browbeat or take on Hollywood. Were just talking about young actors who might be considering joining this profession, and finding a way to make it more open. For there to be less judgment, discrimination and homophobia.
[From People]
?We could have had a conversation about how I feel about playing a lesbian and possibly taking that role from somebody.? Ah, that?s why she?s talking about this. She?s played a lesbian in Ammonnite and she hasn?t shut up about it for months. Someone must have said something about how it?s actually not cool that a straight actress is playing a historical maybe-lesbian, and that?s why she?s overcompensating. I get it now. As for closeted actors still, to this day, being told that they can?t come out or shouldn?t come out? yeah, I believe it. As much as LGBTQ+ acceptance and inclusion has become mainstream, Hollywood is still Hollywood. There are too many powerful, white, straight men telling LGBTQ kids that they can?t do this or that, that it will be ?bad for their image? or it will limit what parts they?re offered. Not everyone can be Matt Bomer and Neil Patrick Harris, although I?m sure both Bomer and NPH haven?t been considered for roles just because they?re gay/out.
I really do feel like Winslet was halfway giving us a blind item too, which is not cool! We?re not supposed to idly speculate about which actors she knows who are stuck in the closet. Especially because one of them is Leo DiCaprio, right?!?! No, I?m joking! I am looking through her IMDB page to check out her costars though.

Kate Winslet talks a lot of nonsense. I don?t want to offend anyone when I say this, but? I get the feeling that Kate isn?t very bright? I?ll put it another way: I don?t think she?s as clever as she thinks she is. I always think back to this interview she gave where she talked about quitting therapy when she realized she could ?outsmart? her therapist. She also lied about how she gave birth to her daughter Mia? for no real reason. There are other little lies that just accumulate and leave the impression that A) Winslet is a fantasist and B) she talks a lot of nonsense. Anyway, Kate participated in the UK version of Who Do You Think You Are?, the show where celebrities work with genealogists to trace back their ancestry. Winslet comes from Swedish peasant stock, and she couldn?t be happier about that because even though she worth tens of millions of dollars, she wants everyone to know that at heart she really is just a working class peasant.
She now lives in a 4.1million Sussex mansion and is worth an estimated 62million. But Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet has revealed she would be ?upset? and ?disgusted? if she discovered that her ancestors had been rich or royal. The Titanic star, 43, told how her ?socialist? parents ?frowned upon the wealthy? after tracing her family tree for the new series of the BBC?s Who Do You Think You Are?
?I would have been upset and disgusted if I had come from wealth or royalty,? she told the Radio Times. ?There was never any money in our family, but I always felt very fortunate because I came from a lovely, wonderful, loving family. My roots are socialist, working class and, in a funny way, my parents frowned upon the wealthy.?
She learned that her maternal great-great-grandfather came to the UK from Sweden in 1884 to work as a tailor, a fact which ?basically means I?m an immigrant?. The most heartbreaking discovery for Winslet was that her great-great-great-great-grandfather, Anders Jonsson, was imprisoned in Sweden for stealing potatoes and honey to feed his family; one of his five children died from malnutrition. He died in prison from typhoid. He was kept as a ?slave? in Sweden, where he worked as a groom and was paid not in money but in tokens which could only be exchanged on the estate owned by his employer.
Winslet said: ?Mum and Dad went to Oxford for their honeymoon and we always had holidays out of the back of the van with a tent.? She told Radio Times that discovering how poor her ancestors were made sense of her life. ?I come from a long line of impoverished people on both sides of my family, which perhaps explains why I?ve tried to instil my parents? values into my kids. People never believe me, but my children aren?t over-privileged. We just don?t live like that. They are very balanced. Humble.? Winslet has three children, the youngest with Edward Abel Smith, nephew of Sir Richard Branson and previously known as Ned Rocknroll.
[From The Daily Mail & The Telegraph]
Yes, everyone knows that one should only research your genealogy to reconfirm your preconceived notions about socioeconomics. Kate Winslet is such a poseur, right? She?s basically an immigrant, people! She?s basically a peasant, please praise her for being super RILL. It also bugs me that Kate would truly be angry if she learned that she maybe had a king or queen or aristocrat in her lineage too I come from a long line of Indian communists, politicians, doctors and intellectuals, but here I am, a late-stage capitalist who writes gossip for a living in a declining empire. My point: your genealogy doesn?t define you. This focus on learning about your ancestry should be an interesting exercise in discovering more about your family, not an excuse to brag about how humble you are.
PS? I can?t help but remember when Gwyneth did the American version of this show and on her mother?s side, she came from peasant stock and Gwyneth was SO MAD. But then on her father?s side, Gwyneth was basically Jewish royalty, so that made her happy.

While I love to talk sh-t about fashion, I do believe in this fundamental truth: do your own thing. Let other people do their own things. If a person is not hurting anyone and they?re not being crazy-offensive, just let them do their own thing, for the love of God. I fundamentally don?t understand the body-shamers and concern-trollers, etc. I mean, I?m a judgy bitch too I love to judge what people are wearing. But if someone feels great in a dress, that shows. If you can tell that a woman is really feeling herself in a particular look, that affects my opinion of the look too. Plus, discussions about fashion are discussions about female autonomy, and they are discussions about the choices a woman makes for herself and her body and what she will ?show? and what she won?t. But for Kate Winslet, she?d like to start a movement where women are encouraged to cover up more, because she believes it?s? like, tacky, for women to want to be looked at?
Oscar-winner Kate Winslet is regarded as one of Hollywoods most elegant adornments, never failing to display her old-school glamour on the red carpet. Now the 42-year-old, admits shes concerned women reveal too much flesh in a bid for attention.
Theres something sort of uncomfortable to me about seeing women who are clearly presenting themselves in a way thats designed to make people stare, but not for the right reasons, warns Winslet. When I walk into a room, I hope to have interesting conversations with people; Im not interested in whether people look at me or not. In fact, quite the opposite. If I have to come to an event, its always nice to feel a bit pulled together, but nothing that draws too much attention. My mother always said, I dont like show-offs, please dont wear any show-off clothes. Even when I became the me post-Titanic, she would still say, Please, darling, dont wear anything that draws too much attention.
[From The Daily Mail]
?Theres something sort of uncomfortable to me about seeing women who are clearly presenting themselves in a way thats designed to make people stare, but not for the right reasons?? Y?all make fun of Emily Ratajkowski, but how is it that Emily has it right and Winslet has it wrong? Women can dress how they want. Some women like to dress sexy, and some don?t. Both are personal choices. Some women like to be looked at and some don?t. Both are personal choices. No one should ?cover up? or avoid ?showing off? just because Winslet or anyone else is a moralistic pearl-clutcher. When did Kate Winslet turn into Mike Pence? And now I have a vision of Kate referring to Ned RockNRoll as ?Father? while she models her ?buttons are proud? Amish gear.

Kate Winslet has not attended any awards shows this season. Because she wasn?t nominated for anything. From the way she was promoting Wonder Wheel last year, I definitely believe that she thought she would be short-listed for some Best Actress nominations. No nominations came. What came instead of #MeToo, Time?s Up and a larger movement, an increased conversation around predators in Hollywood and how men who abuse are able to float through the industry with their careers intact. Kate Winlset would know all about that, since she was doing the most to defend Woody Allen, her Wonder Wheel director, for months. Last month, she said vague words about her ?bitter regrets? with her work with well-known predators. And now Winslet is getting credit for being one of the big-name British celebrities to sign on to the British version of the Time?s Up statement:
Almost 200 British female entertainment stars called for an international movement to end sexual misconduct across society in a letter published ahead of Sunday?s British Academy Film Awards. Kate Winslet, Kristin Scott Thomas, Emma Thompson, Naomie Harris, Emma Watson and Gemma Arterton are among those saying that 2018 should be ?the year that time was up on sexual harassment and abuse.?
Announcing a fund to support women and men battling workplace abuse ? modeled on the ?Time?s Up? movement in the U.S. ? the stars said ?with our collective power, we can galvanize others.? Former ?Harry Potter? star Watson has given the fund 1 million pounds ($1.4 million), according to its page on the Go Fund Me website. Keira Knightley and Tom Hiddleston are each listed as having given 10,000 pounds.
In a letter published in The Observer newspaper, 190 female stars called for an end to impunity for abusers and said ?this movement is bigger than just a change in our industry alone.?
?We believe we need to use our power as communicators and connectors to shift the way society sees and treats us,? they said. ?We need to examine the kind of womanhood our industry promotes and sells to the world.?
[From Page Six]
The letter is a great thing, as is the British Time?s Up GoFundMe. Good for Tom Hiddleston and Keira Knightley and Emma Watson. Good for Emma Thompson, good for Kristin Scott Thomas, good for Naomie Harris and Gemma Arterton and more. But? as I said, Kate Winlset is getting a lot of credit for this. Her photos are being used in a lot of the coverage of this. In last month?s Winslet post, I wrote this: ?I?m actually shocked that Winslet isn?t trying to pretend that she alone came out against Woody Allen first.? That?s what this is – she?s pretending like she?s always been all about Time?s Up and she?s always stood against abusive predators. When we receipts proving otherwise. I also wrote that this is Winslet?s having-her-cake-ism – she gets ?credit? for doing SO much for Time?s Up now while never really having to address her own f–ked up work with Woody Allen.

Wonder Wheel has not been nominated for any major awards – it received zero SAG nominations, zero Golden Globe nominations, zero critics? awards (the score was nominated for a few critics? awards, to be fair). Kate Winslet has not been recognized for her work in the lead role at all, by any major awards show. And yet Winslet has been ever-present, hawking this film in trade papers and major print interviews for months now. It has not gone well (just look through our Winslet archives). But Winslet still plugs away, humblebragging about how she?s so brilliant and normal and how she always hated Harvey Weinstein but she thinks Woody Allen is totes brilliant and all of that. Winslet did The Hollywood Reporter?s Awards Chatter podcast, which you can hear here. Some highlights:
She always despised Harvey Weinstein: “He would come up to me every time I saw him, ‘Don’t forget who gave you your first movie!’ He didn’t ‘give me’ my first movie ? I auditioned for four months. Peter Jackson gave me the part. But, you know, how dare he even sow that seed in my mind, that in some way any part of my career had anything to do with him rooting for me or pushing for me or putting my name forward.”
Weinstein was always horrible: “He was just so horrible to deal with. I was one of the ones he would label ‘difficult’ because I wouldn’t do the things he would ask for me to do on a business-level…. These were ridiculous requests…. He didn’t like me because I wouldn’t be bullied by him.” Winslet further notes that Weinstein addressed her female agent, Hylda Queally, as a c? “for absolutely years”; tormented Sydney Pollack on his deathbed and drove away Scott Rudin during the making of The Reader; and then unnecessarily released The Reader, which “was not supposed to come out until a whole year later,” in the same awards season as her then-husband Sam Mendes’ film Revolutionary Road, in which she also starred, in some ways pitting the two against each other. Since it was “just an Oscar grab” by Weinstein, and one handled very insensitively, Winslet decided on a course of action: “I just thought to myself, ‘Well, if I can just get my own back in some way at this awful man, I’m not gonna thank him. If I happen to win that Oscar [for The Reader], I am not going to say thank you.’”
She didn?t even talk to Woody about anything involving his daughter Dylan, even given the subject matter of Wonder Wheel: “Everything Ginny feels is gigantic…. She’s an awful mother, and I don’t like playing people who are bad mothers…. There were many, many reasons why I was nervous to play it, because I felt like I could have got it wrong so easily.” (As for the fact that the film tells the story of a man who is in a relationship with one woman, but whose eye wanders to her daughter ? a bizarre echo of Allen’s own experience leaving Farrow for her daughter, Soon-Yi Previn ? Winslet says, “It was honestly never discussed. It was never discussed. And maybe that’s not right, but it was never discussed.”)
Woody?s women: “He writes these very, very layered female characters that are unbelievable,” she explains. “I mean, just unbelievably full and rich and vulnerable and strong.”
[From The Hollywood Reporter]
The thing about Winslet deliberately NOT thanking Weinstein at the Oscars is that she thanked Weinstein profusely at the SAG Awards just a month earlier. And despite her career-long qualms about Weinstein, she kept f–king working with him over and over. I believe that she didn?t know the extent of Weinstein?s behavior, but she?s the one claiming that she always knew he was a bully and a bastard and she?s trying to get ?credit? for not bending to his will. Except she fell all over herself to thank him and work with him repeatedly, you know? As for the Woody Allen stuff? I didn?t realize Wonder Wheel involved her character?s husband being interested in her daughter. *shiver* God, Winslet is just the worst.
