In a day and age where collective movements are giving womxn who've had their voices silenced an opportunity to come together and speak up on their experiences of injustice, discrimination, marginalisation and violence at the hands of men, it is becoming more apparent that there needs to be a shift in paradigms. It is not enough that little girls are raised to be feminists. We need a conscious shift in the way we raise young boys and men. It is not enough that we have begun teaching young girls to imagine their futures in their own terms – not when they continue to face the threat of a violent patriarchal system that is reinforced by the lack of accountability and questioning of the systems in which society operates.
Trying to educate grown men and getting them to see how their presence and behaviours can negatively affect the womxn around them is a small part of the solution. We need to look at how young boys are being socialised and where it is that we can work on raising young people as feminists, and not just one part of the group. Contexts in which young people are raised may differ, however, there are universally applicable lessons we can teach our sons to ensure they positively contribute to society in a conscious manner.
Firstly, we need to stop reinforcing the idea that displays of emotion are a sign of weakness, unless it is aggression. The idea that the only emotions that males can have are happiness or anger is unhealthy. We often praise womxn for their ability to deal with their emotions and open up about their feelings, an essential part of the human experience, yet there are very few spaces in which men can do the same without judgment or toxic masculinities threatening their own identities.
We change how we socialize boys. Allow them to show emotion, like what they like, be compassionate, passionate and empathetic.
— PhilippaMaQuente (@eroauthorPMQ) January 13, 2019
Secondly, we need to consider our own views. No matter how you identify, you need to look at whether your own words and actions affirm the beliefs you are trying to instil in the young people around you. If we are to raise a future generation full of conscious and intersectional feminists, we need to make sure that we are living out our own lessons. After all, children learn through having a role-model or an example to take after.
To raise a feminist son, means to instil in them values that are representative of your beliefs. This means, that our sons need to be able to recognise that the aim is for equal opportunities for all people regardless of gender. They need to be able to recognise that at the moment, there is a large disparity around the world with regard to the safety, education, and opportunities presented to their male bodies in relation to femme bodies. Our sons need to be able to see that the work done by an individual is not determined by their gender, but by their skills and capabilities. And until our sons are aware of all that and more, we cannot say we have successfully raised feminist sons.

Strolling through the entire second set without losing a point on serve, it was a one-sided performance from world number four Karolina Pliskova as she put in a perfect display to oust Anett Kontaveit in the semifinal of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, setting up a mouthwatering clash with Coco Vandeweghe in an unexpected final.
Pliskova finished the encounter blasting 22 winners and committing just nine errors alongside six aces, while Kontaveit's errors overwhelmed her; producing 15 errors while being less successful when attempting for winners as well. She won just five return points all match, allowing Pliskova to have five consecutive love service holds to claim the win.
Pliskova edges through the tight first set
It was a shaky start from both players with errors leaking from everywhere, though it was Kontaveit who had the affirming service hold in the opening game as Pliskova gifted her several free points which allowed her to get on board within just a minute of play.
Taking her time to settle into the conditions, the Czech followed suit with a hold to 30, and the two points Kontaveit won on the return in that game took up 40 percent of return points she won throughout the evening.
Feeling what could be fatigue from yesterday's marathon three-hour victory over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Kontaveit was unable to produce her best tennis although Pliskova was on the other end of the spectrum, keeping up her high level of play in the week despite being part of a marathon thriller against Jelena Ostapenko yesterday night as well, with their match ending at 12.10 am local time.
The Estonian threw in consecutive double-faults, allowing Pliskova to earn triple break points in the fifth game. Nonetheless, she found herself a lifeline after some solid hitting saw Kontaveit playing with nerves of steel, grinding out the tough service hold to remain on serve. A string of service holds continued to follow, until the crucial ninth game where Kontaveit's forehand completely broke down, gifting Pliskova with her maiden breakthrough of the match.
Only one break of serve was enough as the former world number one comfortably served out the first set to love ultimately, looking flawless on her serve as she conceded just five points behind those solid deliveries throughout the set.
Pliskova easily seals the win in 65 minutes
A confidence-boosting service hold started the second set for Kontaveit, who was expected to lose the momentum in her game after the loss of the tight first set. Forehands were certainly a liability for the Estonian, who committed three errors on that wing to gift Pliskova the lead. It was one-way traffic for the servers in the upcoming minutes, with three straight love holds coming their way.
As the scoreline started to edge apart, the deficit got larger for Kontaveit and the situation became worse especially after losing a 40-0 lead on her serve, only to get broken eventually as the world number four edged closer than ever towards the finishing line. Winning a consecutive 23rd point on her serve, it was a terrific performance from the Czech as she sealed a spot in the final in Stuttgart for the first time in her career.

Requesting information about families in Canada and the US, particularly those in Columbia, Dutchess, Orange, Westchester and adjacent counties of New York, Connecticut and New Jersey before 1800.
Offering many records for ten families who emigrated to Ontario, Canada between 1790 and 1825 from the above area of New York (five connected to Thomas Cornell of Essex Co., England and MA, RI, NY) with many thousand individual descendants.
Available CDROM of updated and original Cornell, Cornwall and Cornwell genealogies
NOTE: This is a free site and not connected with any genealogical service for hire. Should you reach this page other than through a free link, please click here to enter the free site.
Those with an uncertain Cornell, Cornwell or Cornwall ancestry can benefit from an ongoing DNA project that may help pinpoint which family line they belong to.
Any who are pretty certain they descend from Thomas and Rebecca Cornell or William Cornwell of Middletown, CT can verify their ancestry by being tested as well as help those of us still uncertain.
Completed testing already provides evidence that the Cornell and Cornwall families share a common ancestor around 1500 and also that there are several other family lines unrelated to them but using the Cornell, Cornwall and Cornwell surnames. (Note that the Cornwell spelling is a variant used in both Cornell and Cornwall lines.)

The Kaduna State House of Assembly, on Wednesday repealed the law establishing the state transport agency, popularly known as KASTELEA.
" The Kaduna State Traffic Law and Environmental Law Enforcement Agency (KASTELEA) Law No.12 of 2014 is hereby repealed," the Deputy Speaker, Mr John Kwaturu, said at plenary.
In its place, the Assembly has passed a new law to establish the state traffic authority.
The News Agency of Nigeria [NAN] reports that Kaduna State Traffic Law Enforcement Authority 2017, was passed by the assembly during the sitting.
The new body would take over only traffic matters excluding the handling of environmental issues.
Kwaturu said the new body would implement and enforce the provision of the Road Traffic Law cap 135 Law of Kaduna State 1991 and Road Traffic Regulation 2007.
It would also direct and control traffic on public roads in the state, inspect vehicles, issue certificate of road worthiness, impound erring vehicles, and enlighten motorists on road safety measures.
The agency is also mandated to safeguard the roads from encroachment by traders, motor parks, hawkers and beggar.
Other responsibilities include registering and licencing driving schools, installation of road traffic signs, and designating bus stops and terminals in the state.
The deputy speaker directed the Clerk of the Assembly to forward a clean copy of the law to Gov. Nasiru El-Rufa'i for his assent.(NAN)

There was a lot of loud and rowdy commotion in the middle of the Intoxicated Jade Pavilion. With bright lanterns and strands of white mist going back and forth between the floors, it was like a building for immortals.
The three heaven-defying geniuses of the Feng Clan and Feng Suiyu were all wearing white silk dresses while they held feather fans. With a silk cloth that tied up their hair, they were akin to four elegant scholars as they drank on the third floor. Each of them had their arms around a popular beauty; one didn't need to speak about how envious people would have been.
Feng Feiyun was still wearing an exotic buddhist robe with a buddhist staff in his hand. A wise man would immediately know that he was a person of the buddhist faith. However, at this moment, he was hugging a beautiful young miss in his arms and even did some perverted touching. This caused others to glance in confusion and they even issued ridicule and derision.
"Boom, boom, boom…"
Feng Feiyun, step by step, stomped up the stair. He went all the way to the third floor and sat in the opposite chair of Feng Suiyu. At this moment, Su Su brought a top class wine to him and poured him a cup.
On the other side, Feng Suiyu was smiling and talking:
"To be honest, the little bastard, Feng Feiyun, at Spirit State City was a sinful criminal. It was almost to the point where the people all wanted to kill him. If my father didn't have his back, then this little bastard would have been beaten to death."
"Oh! I've never heard of this matter before. If you didn't say anything then everyone wouldn't have known. Why not tell it so that everyone can hear?"
One person was interested so he asked.
Feng Suiyu smilingly recalled:
"The story went like this. In Spirit State City, there was an old man named Luo at the age of seventy-eight — a person who knew his place. He lived with his granddaughter and sold tea to make a living, but the damned Feng Feiyun unexpectedly had his eyes on the little girl. He not only ** the little girl but also threw her into a brothel in the city afterward. She didn't last more than a few days before being raped to death. Old Man Luo went to the court for a lawsuit but met Feng Feiyun's dad instead. Feng Wan Peng wanted to shield his son so he ordered for people to beat Old Man Luo to death. Sighhh! He truly committed such a terrible sin, ah!"
"How could there be such a cancerous degenerate in our Feng Clan?"
Everyone that listened felt hatred. Even the little misses showed disdain and felt an aversion towards this Feng Feiyun they had never met before.
"Cough cough. If Young Noble Feng knew about it, then why didn't you stop it?"
The voice of a certain person appeared. It caused Feng Suiyu, who was happily laughing, to pause and his brilliant face dimmed.
The atmosphere became cold and the entire brothel became silent.
Feng Suiyu slammed his wine cup onto the table, issuing a "bam". His hawk-like gaze looked around and found that the voice from earlier was from a monk who was seated calmly on the opposite side while drinking.
"You're a monk yet you still came to the brothel to drink wine and get serviced by a prostitute? Which temple are you a monk in?"
Feng Suiyu coldly said.
Feng Feiyun's hand gently touched Su Su's face and smiled:
"Feng Suiyu, you can't even recognize my voice? It seems like today will truly be your funeral."
Hearing the two words "your funeral", the temperature became chilling. It was as if the air was frozen and emitted a constant flow of coldness that continuously struck Feng Suiyu's chest.
Feng Suiyu's expression became surprised as his eyes opened wide. He pointed straight at Feng Feiyun's face and wanted to open his mouth to call out something, but there was a biting chill in the air that caused his jaws to become numb and he couldn't even move his tongue.
A pinch of ice began to solidify, and suddenly, he spurted out blood from his mouth.
"Y-you… You actually…"
Feng Suiyu's hands clutched his throat. He only felt that, from his mouth to his heel, everything had been frozen by ice. However, he clearly sensed a spring of blood that flowed out uncontrollably from his mouth.
Finally, Feng Suiyu's stiff body fell on the ground and ice began to slowly encompass his entire body before it became a thick layer.
A heaven-defying talent went next to Feng Suiyu. He half squatted down to touch the peak of his nose but Suiyu's entire body suddenly cracked and broke into pieces of ice on the floor.
"Shit! Damned monk, you dare to kill children of the Feng Clan in front me? Do you know who I am?"
The skin of the heaven-defying talent from the Feng Clan suddenly emitted a white flashing light that turned his coat into smithereens and revealed a white armor on his body.
This armor was as thin as cicada wings and three formation outlines were engraved on top of it. They were complex and chaotic and ran throughout his whole body.
This was a cicada treasure armor worth ten thousand gold coins. It perfectly fitted the body and allowed for great flexibility along with a powerful defense. It truly could be comparable to a half spirit treasure.
At this moment, Little Miss Su Su, who was seated next to Feng Feiyun, shivered from fear and constantly regretted her decision. She thought that she had met a gold mine but it turned out to be one who attracted trouble.
She really wanted to run away but was dragged back by Feng Feiyun into his embrace.
Feng Feiyun said:
"Who are you then?"
The Feng talent said:
"Hmph, so ignorant. I am one of the top experts of the fifth young generation, Feng Jue. Three years earlier, I had already become famous in the Shan Lin Region. Now within the recent three years, I am even more…"
He had not yet finished but Feng Feiyun already stole his words and smiled:
"The recent three years, you were wholeheartedly taught by the Feng ancestor and had the help of the world's treasures. Therefore, your cultivation became stronger and you could be considered one of the heaven-defying young talents."
Naturally, Feng Jue could sense the mockery in the opponent's tone and this contemptuous feel made him very upset.
"Monk, since you are courting death, I will help you."
The cicada armor on Feng Jue's body exuded a bright light. His two hands gathered powerful spirit energy and formed into a human shape the size of a Wind Thunder.
If the enemy dared to kill then he definitely made preparations beforehand. Feng Jue could be considered as one of the four heaven-defying talents of the Feng Clan, so he naturally wasn't the type without eyesight and he wouldn't make the mistake of underestimating his enemy.
The brilliance of the Wind Thunder became increasingly bright. The screeches of the wind and thunder became more audible as if the entire brothel was about to be destroyed.
The players and prostitutes had soon been frightened to the point where their legs were weak and they straight-up sprawled on the floor. The more courageous ones had soon fled out of the door.
Feng Feiyun stood upright and held the Invincible Buddhist Staff in his hand. Then, he turned into a golden light and flew forward with an unstoppable momentum.
The tip of the Invincible Buddhist Staff was stained with blood. The rings on his staff still emanated tinkling sounds as they hit each other while spilling flowery drops of blood.
Feng Jue's chest was completely penetrated and revealed a huge hole as big as a water basin. In the end, he powerlessly fell onto the ground.
This scene was too frightening. A heaven-defying Feng talent was pierced through by a Buddhist staff, and his wound held no trace of blood yet the blood on the Buddhist Staff was flowing without stop.
This monk was too powerful! Truly a ferocious monk that absolutely couldn't be a no-name character.
Within a short period of time, two Feng children had already died under the hands of this monk. Plus, they were not ordinary either. Could this monk have a great hatred towards the Feng Clan?
Silence, and even more silence. There was only the sound of blood dripping onto the floor.
The two remaining geniuses of the Feng Clan were shocked. They knew that Feng Jue was wearing a defensive cicada armor and even a cultivator of the elder rank wouldn't necessarily be able to break it, yet this Buddhist staff pierced through it with just one blow.
How great was the power of this Buddhist staff?
"Monk, your cultivation is not bad, but today, I'm afraid you will not escape the inevitability of your head being separated from your body."
Only Feng Lingji was able to calmly sit at this place. His age was not young, he would soon exceed twenty-five years of age. He was considered one of the big brothers of the Feng's fifth generation. In reality, many young children within the Feng Clan called him biggest brother.
At the peak of his head was a white jade crown, calm and quiescent. With wise eyes like an experienced old man, very few people could see through him.
He simply shook his body a little bit yet it was enough to offset the aura on Feng Feiyun's body into non-existence. His foot gently stomped on the floor to form many formations that emitted bright lights.
With the formation completed, his whole body seemed to be more fortified, like an unbeatable god of war, as if no one could ever knock him down.
"You are the strongest person within the Feng Clan's fifth generation?"
Feng Feiyun's eyes shrunk as he could feel the pressure that came from Feng Lingji. It was an invisible pressure, and it became stronger and stronger.
Feng Lingji didn't answer and only smiled:
"Your cultivation is also at the top level of the younger generation, why are you trying to hide? Afraid of being recognized by other people? Why is there a need for such cowardice?"
"Hahaha! This face is for women to look at, not for men to enjoy. If it was a woman, then I am ready to take off my hat for her to watch a little bit."
Feng Feiyun laughed.
Feng Lingji, alone, would have been difficult to deal with, not to mention that he had another heaven-defying talent next to him. Once his identity was exposed, these two would definitely not follow the etiquette and both would directly fight together against Feng Feiyun. Naturally, Feng Feiyun wasn't this foolish so he didn't want to reveal his name.
However, even though he didn't want to reveal it, there was someone else who wanted to reveal it instead.
"Phoosh phoosh!"
A white strand of light came through the sky. She wore a white robe and stood on the curved cornice of the Intoxicated Jade Pavilion, like a white butterfly that landed on top of a palace.
Dongfang Jingyue arrived at the wrong time!
She held the red wooden lute in her hand as she stood on top of the roof while gently flicking her instrument. The sound was so wonderful that it even attracted the clouds in the sky.
"I am a woman, I want to see your face. Will you take down your hat this time? Great monk?"
As Dongfang Jingyue stood lonely by herself, her voice was even more alluring than the sound of her lute. Especially, when she stressed the two words, "great monk".
Even though he was in the middle of the Intoxicated Jade Pavilion, he absolutely couldn't see the figure of the peerless beauty. However, the moment he heard the sound of the lute, he knew who had just arrived. Truly, the road was narrow between two enemies!
Naturally, Dongfang Jingyue knew that he was Feng Feiyun so she stood at the highest place. The moment he wanted to escape, she would definitely unleash a thunderous strike with the complete power of the Haotian Spirit Mirror. This power would completely destroy a small ancient city; who would dare to oppose the battle power of a spirit treasure?
At this moment, Dongfang Jingyue was very healthy and had spirit energy flowing throughout her body. Naturally, her wound had quickly recovered. Plus, with the help of the single drop of spirit spring water, her cultivation went up by one level. At this moment, her cultivation, compared to Feng Lingji, was higher by more than ten times.
This bitch came at the perfect time! Feng Feiyun really wanted to raise the Invincible Buddhist Staff in his hand and directly knock her down from the roof, but he didn't expect that at this moment, he would be encircled by three great experts. Not to mention escaping, just staying alive was already difficult.Previous Chapter Next Chapter

The problem is not that he can't use the potty, it's more that he only wants to use it when he is in a good mood or wants to show off. I need to get some tips to get him out of nappies and into big boy pants.
It probably doesn't help that we've been out and about quite a bit recently but I suppose he has to get used to using the loo in different environments.
As soon as potty training is over it's new carpets for the house, a perfect excuse to give it a mini make over!
We went to a party yesterday for his 2 year old friends and it was great to watch him run around and enjoy the company of the other children. And the teen did an excellent job of keeping an eye on him whilst mummy chatted with the grown ups.

The article was first published on the pages of Start, no. 299. 3 July 1980.

(208-209) and "examines the popularity of trivial romances (in Serbo-Croatian: herz-roman) available at the newsstands and also published in women's magazines as a series. She sees "erotic" men's magazines as a counterpart to the cheap romantic stories, as both started to flourish on the market as a result of the "sexual revolution" [...] and both use traditional and stereotypical images of women, which do not exclude, but complement each other (36). It shows both the double-faced nature of the sexual revolution and the consistency in the logic of patriarchy. Drakulić describes the basic plot of the romance novels and how they present clichés of femininity and masculinity, romantic love and happy marriage (35). Despite their triviality, Drakulić emphasises their social relevance: only one title, Život [Life] was sold in 3.600.000 copies in 1978 (34). There is a demand for the genre, what cannot be left out of consideration, even if there was not domestic, Yugoslav production of these, those available were mostly imported from Western, English-speaking countries. Besides the presentation of traditional gender roles, a regular objection against the trivial romances is their low literary quality: the media should inform and educate, and one's free time should be used creatively [...]. Drakulić analyses an unpublished survey by the publisher Vjesnik on the readers' habits and remarks of reading trivial romances. All in all, the conclusion is that the majority of the readers are overburdened women who do not have either time or strength to read anything more complexly written, whereas they do notice the poor literary quality of the novels. These readers, adds Drakulić, lack real relationships and love – exactly the dream, the "fairy tale" offered by these booklets. Drakulić claims that simply "by abolishing and stigmatising this kind of a press, we do not abolish the demand/need" of women in Yugoslavia (44)." (232-33)]

Mental Labor and Privation
Very early in his many years of publishing James White demonstrated a selfless generosity and commitment that was not always realistic.
James and Ellen White faced difficult times in Paris. She wrote of it:
We suffered many privations. . . . We were willing to live cheaply that the paper might be sustained. My husband was a dyspeptic. We could not eat meat or butter, and were obliged to abstain from all greasy food. Take these from a poor farmer's table and it leaves a very spare diet. Our labors were so great that we needed nourishing food.
We had much care, and often sat up as late as midnight, and sometimes until two or three in the morning, to read proof-sheets. We could have better borne these extra exertions could we have had the sympathy of our brethren in Paris, and had they appreciated our labors and the efforts we were making to advance the cause of truth. Mental labor and privation reduced the strength of my husband very fast (1LS, p. 278).

Channing Tatum Starts Work on 'Magic Mike 2'
Actor has posted a snap of him deep in thought while gazing at bust of co-star, Matthew McConaughey...
Channing Tatum has started work on stripper sequel Magic Mike 2… with a little help from his co-star Matthew McConaughey.
On Sunday (February 9), Tatum took to Twitter to post a snap of himself deep in thought, appearing to work on the script, alongside a bust sculpture of Matthew.
What better way to start writing #MagicMike2 than with my old friend Dallas? #runatribe pic.twitter.com/RalS3nQfro
— Channing Tatum (@channingtatum) February 10, 2014
He accompanied the humorous image with the caption: "What better way to start writing #MagicMike2 than with my old friend Dallas?"
Last June, Channing hinted at directing Magic Mike 2, telling The Hollywood Reporter that his writing partner Reid Carolin could get behind the camera too, with the original film maker Steven Soderbergh on board as director of photography.
Tatum said at the time: "Either Reid Carolin and I will direct it together, or we'll have Greg Jacobs direct. He worked as a producer on the [first] movie and has been Steven's right-hand man for almost 25 movies.
"Right now, we're just trying to clean up the story, and then we'll make a decision. But it is hard for me and Reid to direct after one of the greatest directors of our time. Steven has argued [for us to do so]. He has said he would shoot it; he would DP it."
While the 33-year old hunk may have started work on Magic Mike 2, he recently admitted that he won't be taking his clothes off anytime soon after losing his six pack!
Channing told Ellen DeGeneres: "Right now - what me and my wife like to call it, I am very 'fappy.' I'm very fat and happy right now ... I've been working for two straight years, and now it's some really needed downtime."

Arup to help develop "tallest timber tower in world"
Arup has been selected by the municipality of Amsterdam to develop HAUT, the highest wooden residential building in the world to date, counting 21 floors.
Announcing the project win today, Arup said it would work in partnership with Lingotto, Nicole Maarsen, TEAM V Architecture and Nederlandse Energie Maatschappij.
The 73-metre-high residential tower located in the Amstelkwartier will include 55 apartments and an underground car park.
Artist's render of HAUT, set to be the highest wooden residential building in the world (Arup)
It will have a total gross floor area of approximately 14,500 sq m and is intended to receive the BREEAM Outstanding label, the highest possible sustainability score.
"Building in wood is one of the most talked about innovations in sustainable construction internationally, due to the large storage capacity of CO2," Arup said. "Using wood provides an answer to the Municipality of Amsterdam's quest for CO2 neutrality."
Arup said HAUT's wood can store over three million kilograms of CO2. Photovoltaic panels will help the building produce renewable energy, while waste water will be purified through a constructed wetland on the roof.
The design will offer the first buyers "unlimited freedom of choice in dwelling size, number of floors and the location of rooms, outdoor spaces and voids", Arup said.
It added: "Within a strong and simple façade design, with white-gray floor tapes and high windows, the balconies seem to have randomly been slid in and out. The wooden ceilings of balconies and large overhangs on the sharp corner at the Spaklerweg make HAUT's architecture expressive and iconic."
Arup is providing multi-disciplinary engineering services, including building services engineering, fire, acoustics and building physics consulting.
Amstelkwartier, the new district on the Amstel encompassses about 4,000 homes, shops and businesses.
At this point approximately 1,000 homes have been completed and the first school has been opened.

Northeast Utilities earnings increase 3.4 percent for first quarter
HARTFORD >> Northeast Utilities saw its first quarter 2014 earnings increase 3.4 percent compared to the same period last year, despite a decline in profits by its Connecticut Light & Power subsidiary during that timeframe, company officials said Thursday.
NU made $236 million, or 74 cents per share, during the first three months of this year. The Hartford-based company made $228.1 million, or 72 cents per share, during the same period in 2013.
Thomas May, NU's chairman, president and chief executive officer, said the first quarter financial figures "represent a strong start to 2014."
"These financial results are consistent with our previously announced recurring earnings guidance of between $2.60 and $2.75 per share for this year," May said in a statement.
NU saw the earnings of its electric distribution and generation segment in crease by 12.7 percent to $112.2 million in the first quarter, compared to $99.5 million during the same period in 2013. The businesses in this segment benefited from the colder weather during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period a year earlier, which increased NU's first quarter retail electric sales for this year by 4 percent compared to 2013.
NU's electric transmission segment didn't fare as well as its distribution and generation businesses. Profits for the electric transmission business fell by 6.2 percent from the first quarter of last year to $74.9 million during the first three months of this year.
CL&P's first quarter 2014 earnings declined by 6.8 percent compared to the same period earlier. Connecticut's largest electric utility made $77.9 million during the first three months of this year, compared to $83.6 million during the first quarter of 2013. CL&P's financial numbers were hurt by a higher tax rate in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period in 2013 when the amount of taxes that were paid were lower because of a settlement with the state of Connecticut.
Two of NU's other electric distribution companies, NStar and Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH), saw double-digit percentage increases in their profits.
NStar's earnings rose to $57.6 million during the first quarter of this year, a 21 percent increase over the same period in 2013. First quarter 2014 earnings at PSNH grew by 12 percent from 2013, to $32.6 million.
NU's other distribution utility, Western Massachusetts Electric Co., had first quarter 2014 earnings essentially unchanged from the same period a year earlier.
NU's natural gas distribution business saw profits climb by 20 percent from where they were during the first three months of 2013 to $52.1 million during the first quarter of 2014.
The company's stock was at $47.16 when trading on U.S. financial markets closed Thursday, a decrease of 10 cents compared to the previous day's close. The utility's stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol NU.

Vegan Peanut Butter Eggs
Hello & Happy Thursday!!
If there is one concept that Easter is iconic for, it's the Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs! While honestly I'm not a peanut butter or chocolate person, it was and still is one of my personal favorites, especially when served chilled lol.
Believe it or not, the silver lining to that amazing candy, is that you can easily replicate a vegan version and cut out all the unnecessary ingredients. With many traditional candies it's not feasible or more involved, but this is by far the easiest recipe to whip up!
Last year I did the traditional recipe, which calls for organic powdered sugar. While it's a little on the sweeter side than this variety, this one is just as good and incorporates only maple syrup! There is no need to use powdered sugar as the coconut flour serves as the binder, which holds everything together. For those who are not fond of coconut (myself), there is no worries because there isn't any notes of coconut throughout.
What's fab about this recipe, is everything! It's quick, easy, features 5 ingredients, can be made in minutes, you can modify the shapes, perf for any season, affordable, packs no funny ingredients, perfect for entertaining, and best served cold!!
If you're looking for that staple peanut butter egg recipe, this is it! You have to try these effortless 5 ingredient vegan Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs!!
Why this recipe rocks:
Minimal ingredients
No refined sugar
You can modify the shapes!
Eat Drink Shrink
Yields 6 Eggs
15 minPrep Time
15 minTotal Time
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (creamy)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave
- 3 tbsp coconut flour, plus additional
- 3/4 cup Lily's dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oilI
- In a medium bowl, combine everything minus the chips and coconut oil.
- Mix very well, until a uniform batter is formed.
- Use a spoon to scoop the batter into 6 balls, and use your hands that are lightly coated in coconut flour to shape the dough into egg-like shapes. Press the batter into the molds and freeze for 15 minutes, remove and set aside.
- If you don't have a mold arrange the 6 eggs shapes on a plate lined with parchment paper, and place in the freezer to set. Combine the chips and the coconut oil in the microwave and heat for 1 minute, stirring every 15 seconds until fully combined.
- Drizzle in the molds, coating the entire mold and set in the fridge for 5-7 minutes.
- Add the molded peanut butter and top with the remaining melted chocolate. Return to the freezer to set for another 20-30 minutes.
- If you don't have a mold simply remove the the peanut butter "eggs" from the freezer, and dunk each one into the melted chocolate, so that they are completely coated. Return the chocolate covered pieces to the parchment paper. Freeze and enjoy!

People often find themselves communicating with each other no matter where in the world they may be. As a means of communication, they have even used the Internet and some telecommunication companies. There are also those who still believe in the importance of sending and receiving letters for communication purposes. Though the government has their own postal service, they still fail to deliver urgent documents and mails on time. As a result, people resort to other means of delivery like the courier services. They also own websites for customers to obtain a courier quote for their services. Here's how a courier service is beneficial to customers:
- Promote a Speedy Delivery of Items
Courier services are often preferred more than government services due to their fast delivery of goods. Courier companies have access to reputable commercial links like transportation and shipping companies. Hence, they have the right infrastructure to send letters, documents and parcels on a limited period of time.
- Noted for Reliability
Most courier services are reputable and reliable. Recipients can expect the goods delivered on time and in good condition. If they fail to deliver it in good condition, they replace or cover up for the loss. They also provide a website where customers can track and monitor their packages, especially if it has to be shipped longer. However, to ensure that they are right for you, get a courier quote to know anoverview of their services.
- Provide Affordable Services
Choosing a courier service will provide affordable costs for all its services. Note that every package sent has a fixed charge on it. You're certain you're paying for the best price. Here, you don't only save on insurance and liability costs but on shipping charges as well. It'sconsidered the best way to dispatch a package, especially if it's interisland or overseas.
To know how much the parcel will cost for every service, you need a courier quote from a reputed courier. Select two or three courier services and compare their features and prices. Once you've fully scrutinized their services, you will know which ones to pick.

Chances are that you've never heard the phrase "incidental tree." That's because I'm pretty sure that I created the phrase?
To me, an "incidental tree" is one that started as a small seedling that popped up behind a garage or among shrubs in a hedge row. As the seedling grew into a five to ten foot-tall sapling, at right, the property owner thought, "I'll get around to taking that thing down one of these days."
A few more years pass and maybe the property is sold. The new owners say, "wow, I'm glad we've got that tree growing behind the garage because it makes our backyard so much more private," at left.
All of a sudden, forty years have passed and that seedling has grown into a fifty foot-tall tree that would cost several thousand dollars to remove because it's tight up against the back wall of the garage, below right, its canopy arches over three or four properties, and it will have to be taken down and carried off the property one piece at a time because it's impossible to get a bucket truck anywhere near it!
So, there it grows, and grows, and grows some more - until large parts of it finally start coming down every few years during thunderstorms and/or under the weight of heavy snow.
In our one hundred year-old neighborhood, this scenario plays out to one extent or another during every single storm - or even, sometimes, during perfectly calm, sunny, summer afternoons.
This, in fact, was precisely the case just a couple of years ago when a forty foot-long limb of a neighbor's incidental tree cracked and pulled his phone line to the ground as it came down in slow motion over the course of ten minutes while I sat and watched it from my front porch!
If you have such a tree behind your garage, at left, or along your property line, and there's a "target" nearby (building, utility line, deck, busy street, parked cars, etc.), I strongly urge you to contact a certified arborist immediately to have evaluated it for any of potential problems described at right.

Anyone worth their salt knows the three rules of house buying are location, location and location. And any family with school-age children knows that by location, they mean catchment area of a good school. Peruse the windows of any estate agent or click on a property website and the Ofsted rating of the local schools are listed and, for many potential buyers, that's more important than whether the property is a semi or detached or has three bedrooms or four. It will, however, be reflected in the asking price.
Lately I've become privy to another way savvy parents are using their home to secure the best possible education for their children. Instead of moving to an in-demand area with an excellent state school, they set up home close to an underperforming school and use the money saved to send their child private.
We're not talking small change here. Last April, London's Evening Standard reported that property prices near 'outstanding' primary schools pushed prices up by £80,000 to almost £680,000. Move nearer to a school which 'requires improvement' and you'll pay 600,000 for the same house. That's two or three years' school fees.
Don't forget that a school in special measures can only improve. That means the bargain property you snapped up one year, could rocket in value if the local school gets a new headteacher who turns things around and clambers up the Ofsted rankings.
Equally, an outstanding school can be downgraded. Jeremy Leaf, a north London estate agent and former resident chairman of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors told the Independent: "Catchment areas can expand or shrink according to a school's popularity so if a buyer pays a premium to live within a catchment area, there is a risk that when they sell their property it may not command a similar or greater premium."
Last August, the Independent found that one quarter of parents move to be closer to a decent school, even though that same number admits to being overstretched on their mortgage. Lifestyle changes, such as redundancy or a new baby can mean those who are 'just managing' sink into serious debt. Suddenly our clued-up buyers with their smaller mortgage in the less salubrious neighbourhood and their children at private school look very sensible indeed.
The phenomenon of popular catchment areas pushing up prices isn't restricted to London or the South East. A survey by Rightmove of one million homes nationwide found that, on average, a property in an outstanding catchment area has a premium of £52,000. In the North East, the same number of parents – one in four – move for the schools and the premium is worth 14% of the local property price, which is over £18,000. Although only one in 10 families uproot for a school in the East of England, the premium is around £29,000, which is a more than the average yearly salary.
So, if you're contemplating upping sticks to a more desirable address before the start of the school year in September, think twice. Moving just a few streets away could mean private schooling is no longer out of your reach.

Last week I received this text from my wife, "Sooo I may not have a seat on the plane… what do I do?!"
Like any good husband, I turned off my phone and continued stuffing my face at Smorgasburg so she could figure out her own problems. Just kidding.
I sprang to action, like a superhero, to save my damsel in distress. I remembered reading somewhere that being denied from your flight can turn into some big bucks, so I texted Bryce to confirm my game plan and then walked my wife through the steps.
About three hours after her original arrival time, my wife walked in the door with a tired smile and a check for $1,100. Here's how she did it.
What Is Overbooking And Why Does It Happen
Before I explain how to capitalize on your poor situation, let me briefly outline the overbooking conundrum that airlines put you in.
Airlines oversell flights because they expect a certain percentage of passengers not to show up.
There's a bunch of math and diagrams I could bore you with that explain why airlines do this, but I'd rather get to the part where I tell you how get back at these evil airlines for the crap they pull.
Well, when airlines overbook a flight and more people show up than expected, that's when they begin bumping or denying passengers boarding.
Absurd that they can do that, right? Only in America…
In this world of heartless airlines you or someone you love will inevitably be bumped from a flight (meaning you bought a ticket for a flight, but because it was overbooked you got to the gate and did not have a seat).
So, let me show you how to salvage this situation and stick it to the man!
What To Do When You Don't Have A Seat On Your Flight
The first thing airlines will do when they get caught in their devious ways, is they will ask passengers to volunteer to be denied boarding.
They will try to offer you or anyone else on the plane some sort of compensation (typically in the form of vouchers) to voluntarily give up your rightful seat and be placed on a different flight with the same destination.
If they scheme enough people out of the flight (for a different flight) they may be able to get you a seat, which allows them to easily fix their overbooking issue and go on their way.
If you really need to get where you're going as soon as possible and they are able to place you on a flight that will arrive at your destination within one hour of your original scheduled arrival time, go for it.
However, if the airline is not able to get you on your original flight and you do not like the other flight options they are trying to get you on, do not voluntarily accept being denied boarding.
If you are involuntarily denied boarding (meaning you don't accept a voucher in return of your ticket), you are entitled to receive up to four times the price of your ticket or up to $1,300, as well as a full refund of your one-way ticket.
Once you have been involuntarily denied boarding you should start to work out the details with the gate agent. They have to get you on a plane to your destination and they have to write you a check (or cash) then-and-there for your inconvenience. This is also a good time to ask for additional compensation in the form of food vouchers for the airport and even an upgrade to premium economy or higher.
If you believe you are not receiving the compensation you deserve, you should fill out an official DOT complaint to aide in the process. Simply threatening to do so should get their attention.
There are a few exceptions, however, that give the airline a pass and that you should be aware of:
- You are placed on another flight with an arrival time within one hour of your original flight
- Your original plane is substituted for a smaller plane
- You do not comply with the gate agent during the process (Don't do this)
- The plane has 60 or fewer seats and there is a safety-related issue that forces you to be denied boarding
If you find yourself without a seat on the plane you bought a ticket for and the airline does not offer a reasonable solution to get you where you need to go, do not voluntarily accept being denied boarding.
Make them pay!

text: Public Health Newsletter, June 2018 Marin County Public Health Newsletter Volume 6 - Issue 6 - June 2018 In this Issue: Zika | CURES | Hep A | Flavored Tobacco | Message from the Public Health Officer View this email in your browser A message to physicians and other health care providers from Marin County's Public Health Officer. Don't Bring Zika Home After two years of active Zika surveillance, there have been more than 600 travel-associated Zika infections in California. With summer here, many Marin County residents are travelling to Zika-endemic areas. The most frequented countries of Zika exposure include Mexico, Nicaragua, and Guatemala. Encourage your patients to stay informed and protected by visiting the Marin HHS Zika website. Mandatory CURES Use When prescribing controlled substances, many Marin County clinicians consult California's Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System (CURES) to guide clinical decisions. Starting October 2, 2018, all prescribers will be required to check a patient's prescription history in CURES before prescribing Schedule II-IV substances, with some exceptions. This three-minute video is aimed at clinicians seeking to learn more about CURES and its utility in daily practice. Hepatitis A Outbreak California has experienced one of the largest hepatitis A outbreaks since the development of the hepatitis A vaccine, with 704 cases statewide, including 461 hospitalizations and 21 deaths since November 2016. Incidence has been high among homeless people. To protect those at highest risk, Marin HHS has partnered with St. Vincent de Paul homeless services in five hepatitis A vaccination clinics over the past year. Incidence in Marin County has not increased. Clinicians are reminded to offer hepatitis A vaccine to those at risk and report cases to Marin County Public Health. Flavored Tobacco Ban Tobacco use remains a leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. and in Marin. Tobacco control policies limit tobacco-related harm, while facing predictable resistance from the tobacco industry. On June 5, San Franciscans voted to prohibit the sale of menthol cigarettes, flavored cigars, and flavored nicotine-containing vaping products. Vaping rates among youth have risen dramatically with a corresponding increase in nicotine addiction. This effort was supported by the San Francisco Marin Medical Society and the American Heart Association. Message from the Public Health Officer Clinicians are well aware of the relationship between childhood experiences and life-long health. Adverse or traumatic events predict risk for chronic disease, mental illness and substance use across the life course. The medical community responded swiftly against immigration policies that separate families, including the AMA, the National Academies of Sciences, and local physician groups. More than ever, clinicians are called upon to apply science, compassion and courage in our advocacy for our patients and the community we serve.

Part of the Progress in Inflammation Research book series (PIR)
Although the potential for immunomodulation has been recognized for many years there has been an explosion of data in this field with relevance especially to the treatment of chronic airway diseases. Most of the work in this field has been conducted by Japanese investigators but in the last decade there has been a body of work outside of Japan that supports and enhances these findings. The book covers basic research like effects on bacteria, anti-inflammatory and mucoregulatory effects, but also clinical results with up-to-date information for the use of such medications to potentially treat diseases as diverse as chronic airway diseases, arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer.
The volume is intended for pulmonary physicians, researchers in inflammation research, and pharmaceutical companies interested in the development of such agents. It provides background information for the clinician as well as in depth exploration of cutting edge science.

Donald Trump asks GM to stop manufacturing cars in China
According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump told the GM chief executive Mary Barra that she should stop making cars in China and open a new plant in Ohio to replace the one that is ending production
President Donald Trump has asked the General Motors to stop manufacturing cars in China, according to a media report, after the American automobile company announced its plans to cut around 14,800 jobs in the US and Canada.
Reacting sharply, Trump asked the General Motors to review its decision, which the auto major said would help it save around USD 4.5 billion in costs by the end of 2020. The decision will have a major impact on jobs in some of the key states like Ohio and Michigan. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump told the GM chief executive Mary Barra that she should stop making cars in China and open a new plant in Ohio to replace the one that is ending production.
"They better damn well open a new plant there very quickly," Trump told The Wall Street Journal in an interview. "I love Ohio. I told them, 'You're playing around with the wrong person'," he said, referring to his talks with the GM leadership. Earlier at the White House, the US President said he does not like the GM's decision. "We don't like it. I believe they'll be opening up something else. I was very tough (with GM leadership). I spoke with her when I heard they were closing.
And I said, 'You know, this country has done a lot for General Motors. You better get back in there soon. That's Ohio, and you better get back in there soon'," Trump said. "So, we have a lot of pressure on them. You have senators, you have a lot of other people -- a lot of pressure. They say the Chevy Cruze is not selling well. I say, 'Well, then get somebody -- get a car that is selling well and put it back in'. So I think you're going to see something else happen there, but I'm not happy about it," he said. Noting that their car is not selling well, Trump exuded confidence that soon they will put something else.
"I have no doubt that, in a not-too-distant future, they'll put something else. They better put something else in," he said. Barra defended the decision of the General Motors. "The actions we are taking today continue our transformation to be highly agile, resilient and profitable, while giving us the flexibility to invest in the future," Barra said. "We recognize the need to stay in front of changing market conditions and customer preferences to position our company for long-term success," she added. "These actions will increase the long-term profit and cash generation potential of the company and improve resilience through the cycle," Barra said.

Principal Investigator: Dr Alexander Mentzer
Institution: University of OxfordTags: 43920, cancer, cardiovascular, genetics/genotyping, infectious diseases, risk factors
Infectious diseases (IDs) are a major cause of mortality and morbidity, with estimates that IDs cause 15% of cancers worldwide. Yet evidence suggesting that IDs are involved in the development of other chronic diseases has been limited to studies with case-control designs, this is where both the disease and ID are measured at the same time so it is not possible to determine which occurred first, or small samples in specific groups of people (i.e. individuals with poor immune systems).To address these limitations, UKB, a large study consisting of mainly healthy participants at recruitment who have their health outcomes captured through follow-up of medical records, has measured the presence of twenty different IDs in 10,000 participants.
As part of this project we have several aims. First, we will explore the relationship between sociodemographic, lifestyle and health-related characteristics and IDs. For example, are socioeconomic factors related to increased or decreased risk of IDs? Are ID's related to cardiovascular factors such as blood pressure or obesity? Second, we will use the genetic data to explore whether certain genes are linked to a higher presence of certain IDs using genome wide association studies. Third, we will explore whether the presence of IDs at recruitment is associated with an increased risk of certain chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and neurological conditions.
This project will increase our understanding of what factors are associated with IDs, including non-genetic and genetic factors, and what role IDs potentially have in the development of chronic diseases.
