Social Development : Statement by Mr. Lauris Beets at the Fiftieth session of the Commission for Social Development
Statement by
Mr. Lauris Beets
Director International Affairs Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
Fiftieth session of the Commission for Social Development
agenda item 3 (a) poverty eradication
New York, 1 February 2012
Eradicating poverty by employment and social protection
Mr. Chairman,
The Netherlands fully aligns itself with the statement made by Denmark on behalf of the EU. In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to elaborate on the views of The Netherlands on combatting poverty. Poverty is unacceptable. The Netherlands is dedicated to the eradication of poverty through our development cooperation policy.
Over the decades, the Netherlands managed to mitigate the more severe forms of poverty. This was a long process in which we learned from mistakes and pitfalls. Over a period of more than 60 years, we gradually built a system which prevented citizens from falling into abject poverty. Poverty because of old-age, death of the breadwinner, disability and health costs. Unemployment and sickness schemes were put in place for employees. Finally, a safety net was established to provide those who were not covered under the social security system with an income at the minimum subsistence level. This safety net forms the social protection floor underpinning our social security system. The system was expanded gradually, made possible by expanding fiscal resources. Nowadays, social security is an integral part of our society and of public expenditure. Important part of the integral approach to combat poverty, is investing in the education of the children and in employment for parents and adult children. This is a vital factor to influence the longer-term perspective of the families in the right direction.
Integration is really a key-word in this context. At the same time, the public discussion about the future of the system is still going in finding the right balance. A central condition for social protection is employment. After all, the best social protection a government can provide is a good working labour market. People who have jobs, decent jobs, and access to social protection when they need it. The Netherlands are very much in favour of an activating role of social security: 'The best form of social security remains a decent job' . There is no 'one size fits all'-model for employment policy and social security. Employment policy and social security systems should be developed in a tailor-made approach, taking into account historical, economic and cultural differences between countries. For the design of a sustainable social security system, it is essential to link the protection level and the protection instruments to the national level of socio-economic development. And to build a social security system with a solid financial basis. Good governance of such a system is needed, at both the policy and implementation level. In this process, it is essential that states can learn from each others experiences, best practices and pitfalls. Within the European Union the so-called open method of coordination and the principle of 'peer review' play an important role in the learning process regarding national employment and social protection policies. Effective incentives for people to get a job, combatting 'jobless households'. And making it more attractive for employers to hire people.
We can only stress the importance for states to gradually build social protection floors for their further development. In this respect we see a clear role in the years to for the ILO and for the Commission for Social Development. At the International Labour Conference in June 2012, a Recommendation on Social Protection Floors will be negotiated . And an ILO-Plan of Action on the technical assistance for member states in the field of social security will be implemented. We would like the UN at large and in particular the Commission for Social Development to acknowledge these developments.
A last development I would like to mention is the fact that we observe rapid policy convergence among organisations in the UN-system and other international organisations. They are all moving in the same direction regarding policy-views in the field of employment policy, decent work, the combat of child labour, social security and the social protection floor. All these organizations should intensify cooperation: not only on the policy level, but also, and in our view most important, on the level of practical policy implementation 'in the field'. The Commission for Social Development should certainly play a role in the promotion of such an integral approach. The theme of 'poverty eradication' in this meeting of the Commission for Social Development comes at the right moment. Let us join forces to eradicate poverty. It's not an easy, but it's certainly a challenging job. It can be done.
Thank you.

The Fund invests primarily in convertible securities of U.S. and non-U.S. corporate issuers. Convertible securities are "hybrid" securities that possess both fixed income and equity characteristics. These convertible securities include corporate bonds, preferred stocks and other types of securities that are convertible into common stock or its equivalent value. A convertible security generally performs more like a common stock when the price of the underlying stock is closer to or above the conversion price because it is more likely that the convertible security will be converted into stock. A convertible security generally performs more like a bond when the price of the underlying stock is well below the conversion price because it is more likely that the convertible security will mature without being converted. While the Fund has broad discretion to invest in all types of convertible securities, the Fund focuses primarily on investments in convertible bonds. The Fund also focuses primarily on convertible securities of corporate issuers with debt rated below investment-grade (below Baa3 by Moody's or below BBB- by S&P or Fitch), commonly referred to as "high yield" or "junk bonds." As a result, all, or substantially all of the Fund's assets may be invested in below investment-grade rated securities. The Fund invests primarily in U.S. dollar denominated securities; however, the Fund may invest in securities denominated in other currencies.
The Subadviser seeks to maximize portfolio return and minimize default risk by adhering to the following elements of its philosophy when selecting securities for investment:
The Subadviser conducts in-depth analysis using proprietary research tools in addition to communicating with management of the issuers to select securities for investment in the Fund and to monitor the selected securities on a systematic basis. The Subadviser seeks to select securities issued by companies that generally exhibit, or are believed to have the prospect for, positive credit momentum with the potential for credit rating upgrade and/or equity appreciation. In addition to considering company fundamentals, the Subadviser also considers a range of more technical factors related to the convertible nature of these securities, including:
The Subadviser tends to acquire convertible securities that have valuations more closely aligned with a company's bonds than common stock. The Subadviser believes this approach can provide greater downside protection for the Fund's portfolio, although at the expense of potentially greater appreciation that can come with holding convertible securities whose price is more dependent upon the price of the underlying common stock.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in a diversified portfolio of convertible securities. While the Fund's portfolio consists primarily of convertible securities of U.S. issuers, it may, from time to time, include non-convertible corporate debt, non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities, convertible securities of non-U.S. issuers, synthetic convertibles or common stock of issuers. In addition, the Subadviser may, from time to time and subject to market conditions, utilize macro hedging techniques. However, it is not the Subadviser's intention to normally hedge on a security-specific basis.
All securities in the portfolio are reviewed at least four times a year. As part of the selection and monitoring process, the Subadviser actively seeks to avoid holding securities of issuers that it deems to have a high risk of default.
Duration/Maturity. Although duration may be one of the characteristics considered in securities selection, the Fund does not focus on securities with any duration or maturity and does not seek to maintain the maturity of the Fund's portfolio in any particular range. The weighted average maturity of the Fund's portfolio was 3.35 years as of December 31, 2015.
Convertible securities risk: Convertible securities generally tend to be of lower credit quality, and the value of a convertible security generally increases and decreases with the value of the underlying common stock, but may also be sensitive to changes in interest rates. A convertible security may also be subject to redemption at the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible security's governing instrument. If a convertible security held by the Fund is called for redemption, the Fund will be required to permit the issuer to redeem the security, convert it into the underlying common stock or sell it to a third party, which could result in a loss to the Fund. Additionally, the Fund could lose money if the issuer of a convertible security is unable to meet its financial obligations or declares bankruptcy.
Interest rate risk: As interest rates rise, the values of convertible securities held by the Fund are likely to decrease and reduce the value of the Fund's portfolio. Convertible securities are normally much more sensitive to interest rate changes when they are valued more like the company's bonds than the company's common stock, such as when the conversion price for the convertible security is well above the common stock price. Interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows, which may increase the Fund's exposure to risks associated with rising rates. Additionally, rising interest rates may lead to increased redemptions, increased volatility and decreased liquidity in the fixed income markets, making it more difficult for the Fund to sell its convertible securities when the Subadviser may wish to sell or must sell to meet redemptions.
Market and issuer risk: Securities markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse market, economic, political, regulatory or other developments, which may lower the value of securities held by the Fund, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Additionally, an adverse event or adverse economic conditions may depress the value of a particular issuer's securities or may increase the risk that issuers will not generate sufficient cash flow to service their debt obligations.
Credit risk: The issuer of a security owned by the Fund could default on its obligation to pay principal or interest or its credit rating could be downgraded. Likewise, a counterparty to a derivative or other contractual instrument owned by the Fund could default on its obligation. Convertible securities are generally junior to the company's non-convertible debt so the company would normally have to pay interest on its non-convertible debt before interest can be paid on the convertible securities. Credit risk may be higher for the Fund because it invests primarily in convertible securities of companies with debt rated below investment-grade.
High-yield risk: There is a greater risk that the Fund will lose money because it invests primarily in convertible securities of companies with debt rated below investment-grade. These securities are considered speculative because they have a higher risk of issuer default, are subject to greater price volatility and may be illiquid.
Selection risk: The Subadviser's judgment about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular security may be incorrect.
Liquidity risk: The market for convertible securities is less liquid than the market for non-convertible corporate bonds. The Fund may at times have greater difficulty buying or selling specific convertible securities at prices the Subadviser believes are reasonable, which would be adverse to the Fund.

Traditional acupuncture as practised by members of the BAcC is based on Chinese medicine principles that have been developed, researched and refined for over 2,500 years. Traditional acupuncture is holistic, not focused on isolated symptoms. It regards pain and illness, whether physical or mental, to be a sign the whole body is out of balance.
Different schools of traditional acupuncture vary slightly in needling style and diagnostic techniques but all concentrate on improving overall wellbeing by treating the root cause of an illness as well as relieving symptoms. All styles of acupuncture spring from the same Chinese medical roots. Within traditional acupuncture there are several specific techniques which can be used as stand-alone treatments. All BAcC members are familiar with these techniques and use them when appropriate, usually as part of an overall individualised treatment plan. In addition to needling acupuncture points, a traditional acupuncture treatment may include other Chinese medicine techniques such as:
Auricular acupuncture uses acupuncture points located on the ear. Often used with other styles of acupuncture or on its own.Medical acupuncture is practised by osteopaths, doctors, and physiotherapists. Basic needling techniques are used within the framework of a western medical diagnosis to relieve symptoms such as pain and headache.
Trigger point acupuncture is practised by osteopaths and physiotherapists to treat musculo-skeletal pain. Other healthcare professionals may learn these techniques as an adjunct to their main therapy.

|In response to Re: Plumbing Hell
: : : : In NYC as If you hired a plumber with out the owners permission you would make another plumber a richer man.
: : : : Two weeks ago I nailed a plumbing contractor in court for a case going on since 1997
: : : : Seems this plumber worked for a tenant in a CO OP apartment without notifying either the Board of directors or the managing agent or the owner of the building as some of these apartments are still non coop.
: : : : When I was on the witness stand two weeks ago all I stated was the "plumber had no right to trespass and do unauthorized repairs without the prior knowledge of the building/CO-OP board member or building owner".
: : : : For this little statement on the witness stand I received $2,800 and the plumber was found in default and had to pay out of pocket for another Licensed plumber WITH the boards/ owners approval to redo the work. ( Guess who)
: : : : I cannot got to any apartment of a tenant and do plumbing without the actual owners permission.
: : : : 2- Another point is your names are not on the lease thus the landlord can rightfully throw everyone out (I know as I own a few buildings)
: : : : 3- About the erroneous statement "the sinus and bronchial symptoms, Not likely"
: : : : Certain types of cancers and other ailments are directly contributed to sewer fumes (gases)
: : : : For example:
: : : : This is why "Professional" plumbers and drain cleaners AIR OUT man holes and sewer piping prior to buring out old piping or allowing personal to enter these spaces THINK of OSHA 1910 OR NIOSAH ?
: : : : 2- Hydrogen sulfide a flammable poisonous gas H2S that has an odor suggestive of rotten eggs and is found especially in many mineral waters and in putrefying matter ?
: : : : Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless, extremely poisonous gas
: : : : The gas has a sweetish taste and a strong odor of rotten eggs. Chemical compounds containing sulfur produce hydrogen sulfide when they react with certain other chemical compounds. This is why the odor of hydrogen sulfide can be detected around decaying organic matter, such as garbage or sewage;
: : : : These have been related to respiratory illness and cancers of the liver and brain.
: : : : SEE what is on a real master plumbers test
: : : : If you want me to give you more water borne disease please feel free to E mail me.
: : : : The problem is a lot of folks have really bad training or evcen worse third world plumbing codes like AAV's and wet venting etc.
: : : : Inthere areas many times the home owners are far better off doing their own plumbing rather then take a chance with a person who says
: : : : the sinus and bronchial symptoms, "Not likely" Only takes one brain cancer to cure this kind of thinking.
: : : :
: : : We've been running the bathroom exhaust fan, which vents directly outdoors, the past couple of days. The odor appears to be mostly gone and my hacking cough has subsided a bit. We'll see how things go the next few days but at this point I'm looking at serious cause and effect.
: : : It's entirely possible I'm being overly paranoid about the sewer gas thing, but I'd rather be overly paranoid and wrong, than underly paranoid and wrong. I really don't want the phrase "sewer gas" to figure anywhere in my obituary.
: : : Thanks all, hopefully once armed with enough facts, I can get something done here.
: : Good Morning Michelle, Ok try the following Get some clorox or other bleach dilute it and pour some down the drains and let it stand for about 15 minutes.
: : Buy some spray that kills mold any brand is ok.
: : I have several connections in many states and countries as a matter of fact I helped a lady from South Africa get her husband a job in Austraila.
: : One of my Ex employees I managed to hook him up with employement in California and his wife recieved a job with HRN services.
: : If you send me a private E mail and let me know the area your in I may know someone who can give you employment.. NO one in a civilized country should have to live in these conditions Poor is one thing filthy living conditions is another.
: : Good luck
: Reply:
E plumber; As usual, you have given sound advice. I certainly agree with your sum-up of this "individual" who, at some times can be quite informative, but most of the time spends too much time in bragging about HIS accomplishments, job placement for individuals he does't even know, and in general becoming a general nuisance to what use to be a very well run question and answer Forum. Now ,in the past few weeks , this Forum has taken on the appearance of a old, now defunct TV show "this is my life" .Bad enough we have to put up with the porno and crazy advertising, but then this "individual " shows up .....gag, ugh!

Many large and small muscles help you curl your fingers, move your hands, flex your wrists, extend your elbows, and lift your arms. For everyday activities, three of the most important are the biceps, the triceps, and the deltoids. The biceps run along the front of the upper arms and are responsible for bending the elbows. The triceps, along the backs of the upper arms, extend the elbows to straighten the arms. The deltoids, which form the outer layer of the upper arms where they meet the shoulders, lift the arms to the sides; they also help lift the arms to the front, extend the arms behind, and rotate the arms inward and outward.
Although yoga might not be the first fitness pursuit that comes to mind when you think of strong arms, yoginis such as Twining and Crews argue that it can tone and sculpt the arms as effectively as traditional weight training. Just about any yoga posture in which you place your palms on the floor and use them as a foundation to support your body weight strengthens your arms and shoulders. Standing postures in which the arms must work to resist the downward pull of gravity develop arm strength as well.
Yoga, however, takes a somewhat different approach than weightlifting does to building arm strength. When you curl a barbell or dumbbell, the biceps muscle contracts and shortens. That's what physiologists call a concentric (or isotonic) contraction. It builds the explosive strength needed to perform actions such as quickly scooping up a child who is toddling into a busy intersection. If you do "negative reps"—that is, you resist the pull of the weight strongly even as the arm lowers back down to its original position—you're doing an eccentric contraction, in which the muscle works even as it's lengthening. In yoga practice, you engage in both of these types of conditioning when you move from pose to pose, as in the push-up-like movement from Plank Pose to Chaturanga Dandasana (Four-Limbed Staff Pose) and back. But when you hold postures in yoga, you strengthen your muscles mostly through what's known as isometric work; that means the muscle is activated but its length remains the same. Isometric work builds the kind of muscle endurance that helps you hold a child in your arms as you wait for the traffic to cease.
If your current yoga practice does not emphasize the upper body, you can change that by shifting your focus within postures you already practice and by adding arm-strengthening asanas to your routine. In standing poses, concentrate on keeping your arms firm and straight, reaching out expansively. And include plenty of poses that challenge the arms, like Plank, Chaturanga Dandasana, Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog Pose), and Vasisthasana (Side Plank Pose).
You can alternate strategies for practicing these poses: One day, concentrate on holding them as long as possible; another day, move in and out of them repeatedly. A traditional version of the latter strategy is Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation). There are a number of variations of this series of poses, but most include Plank, Chaturanga, Downward Dog, and Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward-Facing Dog Pose). Twining suggests using Sun Salutations to warm up for your practice and then sprinkling them throughout your asana routine. (For further instruction on the Sun Salutation series, visit www.YogaJournal.com/sun.)
As you gain strength, Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand) and Sirsasana (Headstand) also become excellent ways to build even stronger arms and shoulders. (Make sure you learn Headstand from an experienced teacher who can monitor the safety of your neck in the pose.)
Yoga and Cross-Training
As a complement to your yoga practice, consider a weight-training routine for the upper body that includes exercises for the front of the upper arms (biceps curls), the backs of the upper arms (triceps kickbacks and presses), and the deltoids (lateral raises, military presses). Make your free-weight session just as meditative as your yoga practice by bringing your awareness inside your body, feeling each muscle contract and relax, and matching your breath to each of your movements, suggests Lauren Eirk, group fitness director at the Louisville Athletic Club in Kentucky and a national fitness and yoga educator.
"Free-weight training is very complementary to the practice of yoga," Eirk says. Yoga can lengthen the muscles, which in turn gives bodybuilding yogis the potential to lift heavier weights. Conversely, weight lifting helps yogis build the strength needed for challenging postures such as Handstand and more advanced arm balances. Because weight training requires contracting specific, isolated muscle groups, it also increases body awareness. "When you combine yoga with weight training, it gets easier to stay in poses for a longer period of time and focus on what you want to focus on without thinking, 'Oh, my gosh, I want to get out of this,'" Eirk says.
Muscles need 24 to 48 hours to recover from any strength-building session, whether you've worked them in the weight room or on the yoga mat. If you tax your arms and shoulders every day, you may end up tearing and injuring them rather than strengthening them. You'll have to use a trial-and- error approach to discover just how much downtime between sessions is optimal for you, but in the beginning, it's a good idea to sequence your workouts so you don't focus on your arms two days in a row.
Although arm-strengthening exercises can be challenging, rest assured that your body will grow stronger over time, regardless of your fitness level or age, Crews says. In her yoga classes for seniors, Crews heavily modifies traditional arm-strengthening postures to match the abilities of her students. "Gradually, I show them how they can move from modified versions to the complete pose," she says. "One day, I saw this lady who is nearly 70 in full Side Plank. Her form was excellent, and she was so proud of herself. There was no way that she could have done that initially. But she worked at it slowly and progressed gradually. Now she can do things she could never have done before."
Use Your Body as a Free Weight
To develop the explosive strength that weight training creates without lifting a dumbbell, try these yoga moves.
1. From Plank Pose, complete several "push-ups," lowering to Chaturanga and lifting back into Plank while keeping your legs and torso in one, straight line.
2. Periodically modify your hand position when you lower Chaturanga. The traditional posture with the fingers pointing forward tones the front of the deltoids, the triceps, and the pectorals (chest muscles). If you reverse your hand position (point your fingers toward your toes) and place your hands closer to your feet, your biceps muscles will kick in as well.
3. From Plank, move into Side Plank, back to Plank, and then to Side Plank on the other side. Side Plank helps build stability in the shoulders and strength in the triceps. If possible, repeat the sequence several times.

'Grave Injustice' Exposes Wrongful Executions
Public Communication professor Rick Stack's new book Grave Injustice: Unearthing Wrongful Executions is being born into political battle.
In March, the Maryland House of Representatives and Senate both voted to repeal the death penalty. Before votes were taken, Benjamin Jealous, president and chief executive officer of the NAACP, cited Grave Injustice in his testimony as he made the point that capital punishment already has cost innocent lives. Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley is set to sign the measure into law in May.
As an activist in the Maryland campaign and a prolific thought leader in the anti-death penalty movement, Stack serves as an agent of change, as a researcher in action.
"To me, this is the issue. The death penalty is emblematic of the worst of society. It elevates vengeance over compassion, hate over healing. And, it's the symbolic tip of the iceberg on a broken criminal justice system," Stack said.
Seeking consensus on a highly politicized issue, Stack leverages innocence to establish common ground between conservatives and liberals. "No one wants to see the wrong person punished. If we kill innocent people, we destroy the credibility of our system," he added.
The School of Communication professor has included students during each stage of the book's development, from doing interviews to publication. The value of this kind of direct exposure to the research and writing process, not to mention the logistics of turning a manuscript into print, is an opportunity not lost on former research assistant Katie LeClair.
The 2011 Public Communication alumna said that she learned a lot about the justice system in the U.S. by working with Professor Stack.
"I saw how a book came together through the process of working with outside sources and editors, and I learned how I might be able to do the same thing with something I am passionate about," LeClair said.
Another of Stack's research assistants, Public Communication alumna Julie Arthur, agreed.
"[Stack] was integral to my graduate school experience," Arthur said. "He combines his professional and personal interests by teaching the principles of communication while examining efforts to change Americans' attitudes toward the death penalty--proving to all of us that we can choose our careers and make them meaningful, too."
Published in April, one of Stack's inspirations for his new book was the controversial execution of Georgia inmate Troy Davis, who spent twenty years on death row, though he is widely believed to be innocent.
Stack's book provides descriptions of nineteen wrongful executions, articulating a powerful case for the injustice and flaws of judgment that factor into the court's life and death decisions.

"What I've tried to do is give voice to those erroneously executed, amplifying their tragic messages," Stack said.
Stack's previous book, Dead Wrong: Violence, Vengeance, and the Victims of Capital Punishment, tracks the American people's attitudes toward the death penalty. It argues that to the present day, the way the death penalty is administered reflects more on society's sensibilities than on justice. Stack asks his readers to consider what capital punishment says, not so much about the condemned, but about the rest of us.
As an expert in public communication and highly versed in social justice, Stack asserts, "you can apply public communication tactics to 'a cause, a candidate or a can of corn.' When you win over public opinion for a cause, you move the momentum toward change."
Influencing public opinion is only part of the battle to repeal the death penalty, Stack thinks. It also requires changes in attitudes. "I don't want violence to be considered an acceptable form of solution to societal problems. [Through my research] I want to hone in on these issues and take a more principled, enlightened approach," Stack said.

By Christopher Price | WEEI.com Blog Network
FOXBORO — Brandon Lloyd has been around Tom Brady for a relatively short time — especially when it comes to the postseason — but the veteran wide receiver has come away impressed at the way the quarterback prepares for the postseason.
Lloyd, who finished his first full season with the Patriots with 74 catches for 911 yards and four touchdowns, said that when it comes to prep work, the quarterback treats each game the same.
"It's the same preparation, the same commitment, the same commitment to developing relationships with the pass catchers, with the offensive line," Lloyd said Wednesday afternoon. "We still get our one-on-one time and routes and one-on-one time in film study. So he does that with all of the players and he spends a lot of time with us. You get that during the regular season and he is still doing that now. So it is the same."
When it comes to what has surprised Lloyd the most about Brady, he said it all comes back to the work.
"I think how detailed his work ethic is," Lloyd said. "We all work hard and we all say that we do work hard. We like to think that the best players are the hardest workers and Tom proved that when I got here."
Like fellow veteran Aqib Talib, Lloyd is going through his first postseason experience. Even though he said there were "no nerves, no jitters" when it came to his first career playoff game, he said Wednesday he takes a page out of Brady's book and uses the same "one-game-at-a-time" approach that got him through his first full season in New England.
"That's how I have been approaching it," said Lloyd, who had five catches for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's divisional playoff win over the Texans. "It seems like ever since Thanksgiving there have been the biggest games of my career, and it's not changing now in the playoffs. The approach that I've always taken in my career, regardless of the magnitude of the game, is to approach it like it is a regular game, and that's been helpful for me."

Originalism and Sex Discrimination
Steven G. Calabresi
Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law
Julia Rickert
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
November 17, 2011
Texas Law Review, Vol. 90, No. 1, 2011
Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 11-63
Justice Scalia and most other originalists have concluded that Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment does not prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex. In their view, originalism is incompatible with the Supreme Court's sex-discrimination jurisprudence of the last forty years simply because the Fourteenth Amendment was not adopted with sex discrimination in mind. Although we completely agree with Justice Scalia that a legal text's original public meaning is determinative of its meaning today, we argue that he has not followed his own methodology in this case. He has ignored that a legal text can do more than its drafters imagined and that its scope can be affected by subsequent legislation. In this article we present an analysis of the Fourteenth Amendment that stays true to originalism and explains the effect of the Nineteenth Amendment on the scope of the Fourteenth. We conclude that sex discrimination is without doubt unconstitutional.
