Risks and investments go hand in hand. But theres no way to nullify risk in order to get maximum investment returns. The traditional investment methods like fixed deposit and purchasing gold no longer hold good to this generation because the not the returns are low and also the material weight of maintaining those investments are never good for the always on the go millenials.
So the best thing to invest in order to get higher returns is either through buying and maintaining an individual stocks and shares or through mutual funds.

Polls show that America is pretty split on the issue to gay marriage. Even so, there's been a huge cultural shift as it relates to gay rights, laws are changing as well as hearts and minds. Last month, Djuan Trent, Miss Kentucky 2010, 2011 contestant at the Miss America Pageant (top ten semi-finalist) came out on her blog. In an article by the Huffington Post, Trent talked about why she came out:
"A lot of people were talking to me as if I agreed with their views, which were anti-equality… "They were not for gay and lesbian marriages. And it just kind of fired me up a little bit. So I sat down at my computer and I just started typing away and that is what came."
Why she used the term "Queer"
"I originally wrote the blog, and wrote, 'I am gay….I went back and I looked at it and I decided I wanted to change it. I wanted to put 'queer' there, because it's a word that I like. I feel that a lot of people outside the LGBTQ community don't know it's a thing, that it's okay."
"I think it's one of those words that doesn't put you in such a box," she said. If you choose other labels, sometimes you feel like you're in a bit of a box. My favorite example, that I always love to use, is that girls I went to college with, who ran all around campus waving rainbow flags — they were like, 'Lesbian for life! Yeah, forever!' And now, how ever many years later, I'm seeing them on Facebook and they're like, 'He proposed, and I said, "yes!"' And I'm looking, like, 'What?!' So I think that 'queer' is one of those things that… it is more inclusive. It kind of opens to a whole other conversation about the fluidity of sexuality and being able to embrace that."
Why visibility is so important:
"People need to be able to see more people who look like them. I know, for me, when Raven-Symone came out, I was like, 'What?! Oh my gosh! You know, like, I was more excited about Raven-Symone coming out than I was about Ellen. And I mean, I love Ellen. Who doesn't love Ellen? But Raven looks a little more like me. It's good to be able to see people who look like you. I've had so much outreach coming from young women in the pageant community, young African-American women, young feminine women, who [now] feel a little less invisible, who feel that there's not something wrong with them. And that, to me, is amazing."
P.S I too was excited when Raven-Symone came out!!

Reading Notes: The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Communion Town
I have now read two of the twelve Booker Prize long list titles, Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Sam Thompson's Communion Town.
As it transpired, these were a good pair to start with - both by debut novellists, both excellent reads, entirely dissimilar in style, ostensible theme, and voice, but both, it seemed to me, reaching at communicating some kind of life truth, some kind of meaning-of-it-all. Perhaps all good literature does this, really, but I found the resonances in these two books much closer than a generalised sigh of existence. Both, in their own modes, had things to say about the gap between perception and reality, the essential isolation of the human mind, and the profundity of the hunger to connect, to know, to be more than oneself.
Joyce's book is one of the most gentle, meandering, yet incredibly well crafted and emotionally punchy stories in the "ordinary person living life of quiet desperation having life transforming awakening experience" genre. Harold Fry, the protagonist, is beautifully realised, as is his wife, Maureen. His decision to walk the length of England - in his yacht shoes - to bring hope to an old friend dying of cancer, is a deceptively simple plot device, but Joyce makes it work hard, mining the landscape, journeying narratology and unlikely-hero trope for all they're worth (and, at times, more - there's no doubt some of the symbolism is heavy handed in places).
Overall, I wouldn't describe this as a perfect book. I thought it lost its way a little in the middle section; the side plot regarding the hangers-on who form the survivor-like pilgrim posse around Harold after he attains fleeting fame seemed forced, disjointed, to me, as if it was making a different point entirely from the main thread of Harold's inner and outer journey. The "reveal" wasn't remotely a surprise to me (perhaps this is a function of having read entirely too many mystery novels in my life), so the catharsis that might have accompanied the shock-value of it wasn't there. I found several of the minor characters unconvincing and irritating in ways that I'm pretty sure they weren't intended to be.
That said, it is a very good book - the prose is lovely, the main characters are fully drawn, the description, while artful, is spare enough not to irk me (I hate hate HATE books that tell instead of showing), and the grand truths it communicates are well done and persuasive. It is a fairly "straight" narrative - it doesn't demand a lot of cognitive flipflopping or stepping through any looking-glasses. I liked it, a lot, and I'd recommend it to others without hesitation.
Each chapter / story is told from a different perspective and, moreover, in a different style; Thompson shows off a bit in some of them, really, displaying a virtuoso command of genres like thrillers, hardboiled noir, puzzle-detection, and (to my mind, anyway) speculative fantasy. The locus for all the stories, the heart-river into which all the streams feed, is the city, unnamed, imagined, dreamlike, fantastical; never fully unfolded, never fully understood, but glimpsed in half-light and shadows, by happy people, lovelorn people, shy and brash people, aliens, ghosts, lovers, killers, detectives, workers, shut-ins.
Communion Town is being marketed rather hopefully as a mainstream novel, probably because calling it what I think it is - essentially, a linked set of fantasy short stories - would be likely to decrease its marketability. In a way that's a shame, because there are many readers of speculative and fantasy fiction who might not come across this one and they are its core audience, to my mind. Let me put it this way - if you enjoy Neil Gaiman, I'd back that you'll really, really like this book. (NB: I'm not contending this book is Gaiman-esque, per se; just that the overall kaleidescopic, fractured, often dark, brilliance of it reminded me of Gaiman quite a bit).
That said, Communion Town isn't for everyone. It requires a jump through the real into the half-real, an acceptance of strangeness, that won't appeal to all readers. There are many people I'd not give this book to, knowing they'd dislike it quite a bit, either for its muffled savagery or its flitting around between narrators, themes and styles. I think it is a wonderful, incredible, first book, and I'm eager to see what Thompson comes up with next, but vanilla fiction it ain't and that's for sure.
Overall verdict for shortlist?
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry will be shortlisted, even though, if I were voting, it wouldn't be.
Communion Town won't be shortlisted, even though it deserves to be.
(*I reserve the right to change these votes after I read more books, in case the rest are either wonderful beyond belief or really weak :-)

Retired Brazilian legend Ronaldo believes that Lionel Messi is 'more complete' compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, and suggested that Messi should win the next Fifa Ballon d'Or in January.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo shared the prestigious award over the last seven years, with Messi taking four to Cristiano's three.
Both men are also key players for their own clubs, each proving their worth each La Liga season that constantly adds fuel to topics related to their rivalry.
Ronaldo believes that the Argentine should win another despite fellow Brazilian Neymar junior's nomination as the third candidate for the award.
"I see Messi as more complete. He does things in a most spectacular way."
The vote for Ballon d'Or will be made by the captains and head coaches of each men's national team as well as by international media representatives selected by French publication France Football.

Audible Monthly Credit(s) Report -- February 2018
If you haven't heard about Tara Westover's Educated, you will. If you enjoyed Hillbilly Elegy or The Glass Castle, you will enjoy Educated. Westover was kept out of public school by her parents but was not really homeschooled either. Her story of growing up with a (likely bipolar) doomsday prepper, strictly religious father, a midwife mother with other healing gifts, and many siblings is almost unbelievable. Imagine never seeing a doctor. Imagine getting yelled at for rolling up your sleeves (immodest) on a hot Idaho day. Imagine not having a birth certificate. Abuse, shifting rules, shifting moods, shifting alliances ... her childhood is not easy. Her family is not conventional (understatement). And yet, they are her family, and she loves them, which makes her journey to educate herself all the more challenging and amazing. The first time Westover ever sits in a classroom, she's a student at Brigham Young University. Westover's writing is honest, thoughtful, and reflective. She's not trying to sensationalize her childhood so much as she is trying to make sense of it. Excellent. I want to discuss it with someone.
The Girlfriend by Michelle Frances has been on my radar for a while. It was published last year in the UK and I somehow saw a description of it. I've been waiting patiently for it to make its way to the USA. This is the perfect thriller for boy moms! A mom becomes increasingly wary of her precious son's girlfriend. It would be a fun pick for a book club that enjoys a lighter read, though the things that happen in this book and the discussion it invites are not necessarily light.
Any ideas for my March credits?
I promise the next post will not be audiobook-related. I was just playing catch up.

The Great Betrayal, judicial activism, and a living Constitution
Posted by Thomas Nephew on October 2nd, 2010
September 17 was Constitution Day, always a good opportunity to reflect on that document and what it means to us. Unfortunately, I missed that opportunity. But of course every day is Constitution Day! So I'll go ahead and write down a few things I've been thinking and reading about lately on that subject and its intersection with another that has been occupying me lately: post Civil War American history.
In a note he published on Facebook, Patrick Bruckart wrote,
…the Bill of Rights was intended to restrain the federal government's authority and provide citizens a means of redressing grievances against it. The BOR did not originally apply to the states. The Fourth Amendment, for example, was later applied to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment and subsequent court decisions. The next time we are inclined to complain about "judicial activism," we should ask ourselves whether it would be acceptable for state or local law enforcement officials to search our homes (or property) without having first obtained a warrant based on probable cause. And that's just one example.
(links added)
Even in colonial times, some states provided their own constitutional guarantees — that is, they acknowledged their own limitations — regulating searches and seizures. But it was optional — especially with respect to the lower and disenfranchised members of society.
The Fourteenth Amendment
1. All persons born or naturalized
in the United States, and subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens
of the United States and of the State
wherein they reside. No State shall
make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities
of citizens of the United States; nor
shall any State deprive any person
of life, liberty, or property, without
due process of law; nor deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws. […]
5. The Congress shall have power
to enforce, by appropriate
legislation, the provisions of this
But the Fourteenth Amendment changed all that. In particular, the Fourteenth Amendment — in both intent and language — clarified that rights guaranteed under the Constitution were a floor under state law, not merely interesting limitations on a far off federal government. And both these rights and the promise of equal treatment under the law were guaranteed to everyone born in, naturalized to, or simply under the jurisdiction of the United States of America.
And Congress could see to it. According to Akhil Reed Amar's indispensable "America's Constitution: A Biography," the final enabling clause — "Congress shall have power to make all appropriate laws" furthering this aim — was selected to echo specific Supreme Court rulings deferring to "appropriate" Congressional legislation. Amar:
And — here is the key point –the American people ratified the Fourteenth Amendment, with evident understanding of its, and also the Thirteenth's, language authorizing "appropriate" federal legislation. Knowing full well that Congress believed that this language authorized transformative new federal statutes to uproot all vestiges of unfreedom and inequality — and having seen with their own eyes that Congress had already acted on a similar belief in connection with the Thirteenth Amendment — Americans said yes. We do.
Or so they believed.
"A vain and idle enactment"
To return to Bruckart's remarks, I think one point to remember about judicial activism is that sometimes it's needed simply to undo prior such activism.
The main example, to me, is in how the Fourteenth Amendment was bled nearly dry shortly after its ratification by one regrettable Supreme Court ruling — In re Slaughter-House Cases (1873; text) — and one manifestly unjust one, United States v. Cruikshank (1875; text), a ruling rivaled in infamy by Dred Scott, Korematsu and few others.
I've been reading about the Reconstruction and post-Reconstruction eras, and trying to figure out where they almost literally 'went South,' at almost every opportunity since reading David Blight's "Race and Reunion" earlier this year. These two rulings — and the mass killings the latter one ratified — seem to be a key to everything that happened after. Two books I've found recounting the story in detail are Age of Betrayal, by Jack Beatty, and particularly The Day Freedom Died: The Colfax Massacre, the Supreme Court, and the Betrayal of Reconstruction, by Charles Lane, and I rely on them in the following.*
The Colfax Massacre occurred in Colfax, Louisiana on April 13 (Easter Day) in 1873, when armed whites marched on a courthouse held by supporters of a Republican sheriff. The white mob surrounded, besieged, and set fire to the courthouse, shot many surrendering black defenders one by one as they fled the flames, and killed yet more in the surrounding countryside. At least sixty black men died; a Louisiana state historical marker calls the event a "riot" and puts the death toll at 150. A commemorative marker was actually erected by the white community to the memory of the killers — and still stands there today.
At first, the efforts of a remarkable local U.S. attorney, James Roswell Beckwith, succeeded in bringing about the capture of several ringleaders of the massacre, including one William Cruikshank.
Then came the 1873 Slaughter-House ruling. In that case, New Orleans butchers had brought suit against the State of Louisiana — now featuring Republican, black legislators — which had taken steps to protect the city's water supply by forcing the butchers to operate downstream of the system's intake valves. Their case was taken up by John Campbell, a former Supreme Court Justice –and an ex-Confederate still eager to harass Republican, Northern racial equalizers whenever possible. His argument was ingenious, and nearly won the case: Campbell held that the Louisiana statute was in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment because it infringed on the "privileges and immunities" of the regulated butchers — those being to carry on their trade despite legislation passed by their inferiors.
By a 5-4 vote, the Court held for the State of Louisiana, saying the true purpose of the amendment was not to engage in unwarranted supervision of state legislatures, but to guarantee the privileges of citizenship to newly enfranchised black Americans.
But Campbell had won a major victory all the same. He had purposely and necessarily exaggerated the scope of the Fourteenth Amendment's protections well past the Bill of Rights to include "the personal and civil rights which usage, tradition, the habits of society, written law, and the common sentiments of people have recognized as forming the basis of institutions of this country", i.e., unregulated commerce as the butchers had practiced it — and, though unspoken in this case, the white supremacy that all too many whites in Lousiana believed to be their privilege as well. Chief Justice Samuel Miller felt a need to parry this argument by illustrating how far the 14th Amendment didn't go. And unfortunately, he got it wrong.
First, Miller severely (and unnecessarily) limited the scope of the Fourteenth Amendment's "privileges and immunities" by wrongly distinguishing between allegedly fundamental state citizenship and allegedly superimposed federal citizenship.** Second, Miller's opinion held that the 14th Amendment only protected relatively trivial privileges of federal citizenship from state abridgement: those positive rights mentioned within in the Constitution such as the right to travel between states, seek the protection of a U.S. embassy when abroad, and other privileges of little practical interest to an ex-slave in Louisiana. The rest were still up to the respective states to preserve equally to all their citizens. Dissenting Justice Stephen Field wrote that if Miller's view were the correct one, the Fourteenth Amendment was "a vain and idle enactment, which accomplished nothing, and most unnecessarily excited Congress and the people on its passage." ***
The Great Betrayal: Cruikshank
But Miller's view had prevailed. And the trouble was that while the Fourteenth Amendment indeed had little bearing on where to place a slaughterhouse, it had — or had once had — a great deal of bearing on how to keep white supremacists from murdering blacks in the post-Civil War South. Lane:
Clever Democratic lawyers in New Orleans quickly recognized Miller's opinion as a potential silver lining for them in Campbell's defeat…the Enforcement Act might have been dealt a serious blow. Miller had not only emptied out the Fourteenth Amendment's 'privileges or immunities' clause, he had declared the primacy of state citizenship over national citizenship.
The 1870 Enforcement Act, whose more common name – the Ku Klux Klan Act — described its target succinctly, was, by design, the law that a federal prosecutor could use to prosecute violent white supremacists in Louisiana; it was widely and rightly considered to have been made possible by the Fourteenth Amendment. Beckwith charged Cruikshank and seven of his fellow murderers with violating Section 6 of the Act, by "combining and conspiring" to deprive U.S. citizens of numerous civil rights, and of killing a man while doing so under Section 7 of the Act. The first trial ended with a hung jury, but in a second trial Beckwith succeeded in convicting Cruikshank and two others — not of the Section 7 murder, not even a more carefully selected New Orleans jury could agree on that — but of the Section 6 conspiracy.
This is what an activist judge
looks like: Assoc. Supreme Court
Justice Joseph P. Bradley, in office
from 1870 to 1892.
And that is where Associate Supreme Court Justice Joseph P. Bradley intervened. Bradley, who had also dissented from the Slaughter-House verdict, joined the retrial in his capacity as a Circuit Court judge. Bradley first opened the door to a challenge of the constitutionality of the Enforcement Act –and then, on appeal, invalidated all eight charges as being unauthorized by any statute properly comporting with his newly narrowed, "Slaughter-House'd" view of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Slaughter-House had already forced U.S. Attorney Beckwith to limit the specific rights the massacring whites had violated to the legal straitjacket prescribed by Miller's ruling. But it would not prove to be enough. Bradley's most far-reaching — even adventurous — ruling was that the Fourteenth Amendment was not only limited to protecting the (allegedly) separate, superimposed rights of federal citizenship, but merely empowered Congress to make laws regulating state government actions provably done with racist intent. If so, and as Section 6 of the "Ku Klux Klan Act" did not confine itself to such cases of discrimination, that statute was unconstitutional. William Woods, the judge who had actually been presiding at the trial (and who had made a contrary judgment in a similar prior case, U.S. v. Hall) disagreed with Bradley's rulings, and the split decision sent the matter to the Supreme Court.
A new Chief Justice there, Morrison Waite, was nominally responsible for the decision upholding Bradley's Circuit Court ruling. But he was new to the court, and Bradley — not legally required to recuse himself from the case — all but dictated the court's upside down interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment and its relation to the case at hand:
No rights can be acquired under the constitution or laws of the United States, except such as the government of the United States has the authority to grant or secure. All that cannot be so granted or secured are left under the protection of the States.
And — little surprise remained — all counts of Beckwith's indictment were therefore invalid. Had the blacks of Colfax Courthouse gathered there to petition the federal government for redress of grievances, Beckwith might have had a case, Waite argued; he did not go on to add that they had instead merely gathered there in a fight for their lives. Regarding Count 3 – conspiracy to deprive black Americans at Colfax of their lives — Waite wrote,
The Fourteenth Amendment prohibits a State from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; but this adds nothing to the rights of one citizen as against another.
On Count 4, conspiracy of the accused to deprive their victims of equal treatment under the law, and again on Count 6, depriving victims of their voting rights, Waite wrote that, in these charges Beckwith had brought,
[t]here is no allegation that this was done because of the race or color of the persons conspired against. [...] …it does not appear that it was [the accused's] intent to interfere with any right granted or secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States. We may suspect that race was the cause of the hostility, but it is not so averred.
Race was in fact named as a motive in Count 5– conspiracy to "hinder and prevent the parties in their respective free exercise and enjoyment of the rights, privileges, immunities, and protection" under U.S. and Lousiana law. But here Waite completed the triumph of Cruikshank and his fellow murderers. The charge was "too vague and general" — despite echoing the Enforcement Act, which penalized those who would "injure, oppress, threaten or intimidate any citizen with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise and enjoyment of any right or privilege granted or secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States…" Bradley's move to quash the Ku Klux Klan Act itself was not upheld, but with hurdles this high to securing a conviction, it hardly needed to be.
Cruikshank and his accomplices, already free on bond, were now free in fact. As a bitter President Grant put it in an 1875 address to the Senate:
Fierce denunciations ring through the country about office-holding and election matters in Louisiana, while every one of the Colfax miscreants goes unwhipped of justice, and no way can be found in this boasted land of civilization and Christianity to punish the perpetrators of this bloody and monstrous crime.
Those rulings and the political acquiescence to them were the direct defeats enabling the resurgency of a white supremacist and frankly terrorist South. They made federal action against a mob like Cruikshank's or more organized domestic terror groups all but impossible. They made enforcement of black Americans' rights a matter of state legislative and executive choice, rather than a federal imperative, made conviction contingent on a (usually white) jury deciding that race was a motivating factor. Good luck with *that* in the embittered, revanchist South of the 1870s — or any time within the next many decades.
Cruikshank, especially, signaled an "open season" on the black citizenry of the South, and it and the Colfax Massacre that led to it are two of the blackest marks of any on this country's history. In the harm they did, and the history they derailed, Chief Justice Morrison Waite, his puppetmaster Bradley, and the Justices like Stephen Field who were persuaded to join their opinion may be fairly ranked alongside Booth, Oswald, Sirhan and Ray.
So what
What bearing do rulings from a bygone era have on our understanding of ourselves and our Constitution today? Several things, I think.
First, they're yet another part of a specific, tragic American history about how quickly the promise of the Emancipation Proclamation, winning the Civil War, and passing the Reconstruction Amendments could evaporate. The ongoing disadvantages of black America can seem an inexplicable riddle to some: wasn't that all taken care of once upon a time? Isn't what's left "their fault"? No, not at all, and even this, even lynchings, even Jim Crow are just the tip of an iceberg of racism — both institutional and noninstitutional — that lasted well into the 20th century …and beyond. More on that, perhaps, in future posts.
Second, the sequence of events is instructive and almost classic: call it the 'non-enforceability two step,' and its relevance to present-day cases ranging from no-knock to torture cases is perhaps more clear. The idea is that when a right is unwelcome, one of the simplest ways to deny the right is to piously affirm that you believe in it — while actually doing everything you can to make it all but unenforceable. One of the simplest ways is to say that the right exists, but that there's no authority for the federal government to enforce that right — good luck! Another one is to retreat behind the smokescreen of mens rea — the (easily deniable) state of mind of the rights-ignoring actor, whether police force, armed mob, or thug in a suit at the Office of Legal Counsel.
Between Waite and Bradley, both cases were covered, and (it seems to me) Fourteenth Amendment protections of Bill of Rights were first effectively denied, and then laboriously, grudgingly "incorporated" for black Americans (and everyone else) in a process that took unnecessary decades to complete. Meanwhile the same Amendment was pruned and trained like a kind of legal bansai tree into a reshaped, stunted version of itself as all-purpose shield for corporate personhood.
Third, the rulings are still cited today. In 1994, Cruikshank was cited in striking down the Violence Against Women Act, with Chief Justice Rehnquist citing the "time honored principle that the Fourteenth Amendment, by its very terms, prohibits only state action." Yet the amendment's very terms also require each state not to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws; one might argue that until women are raped no more frequently than men, federal intervention is justifiable. Certainly a pattern of state impotence at the time of the Colfax Massacre could have and should have been adduced in the Cruikshank case — and malign neglect or intent could easily have been established in later decades.
Finally, the story puts in context certain frequently heard whines on the right about "judicial activism" — and on their habit of railing against the idea of a "living Constitution" when it suits them, and maintaining Olympian silence when it doesn't. As I argued in the discussion following Patrick's post, that the plain meaning and original intent of the 14th Amendment could be ignored for so long is an interesting, if negative demonstration of the idea that the Constitution is a living document: if the wrong people — whether out of stupidity or out of malice — get a hold of it, it can be killed or at least k.o.'ed for decades. Whether merely stupid and pedantic (like Miller) or actively malicious (like Bradley), such jurists are often the original activist judges, by bending the Constitution as it is experienced and enforced — i.e., how it is lived — towards a new, undesirable, and unwarranted direction. It can take other activist judges years and decades to undo such handiwork and revive even plain text, original intent constitutional understandings.
Unfortunately, we may be looking at just such long years and decades ahead: Citizens United has made a mockery of our elections, the Office of Legal Counsel — under both Bush and Obama — has done the same with torture and accountability for it, executive power looks poised to grow yet further, habeas corpus looks poised to become as malleable as even a moderately clever government lawyer can make it. Meanwhile our latest Supreme Court justice appears to be on the verge of recusing herself from decisions having to do with any of these concerns.
So if a progressive ever gets a chance — I won't say another chance — to appoint a Supreme Court judge or three, I hope we'll say you're absolutely right we need some activist judges — to revive a living Constitution your activist judges have rendered comatose and irrelevant. It's happened before. It's happening again.
EDITS 10/2: "Third, the rulings are still cited today" paragraph added. 10/3: monument inscription corrected.
* Particularly, for Lane's "The Day Freedom Died", chapters 6, "Black-Letter Law," 9, "A Justice's Judgment," and 11, "The Court Speaks" ; and for Beatty's "The Age of Betrayal," chapter 5, "The Inverted Constitution." See also other books, such as "Reconstruction" and "The Story of American Freedom", both by Eric Foner; the latter two discuss the turn towards "liberty of contract" as the initial meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment as developed by the late 19th century Supreme Court, as does much of Beatty's book.
** Both the history and current understanding of the Fourteenth Amendment indicate that it does the opposite, purposely making federal citizenship fundamental and state citizenship incidental.
*** Bradley's Slaughter-House dissent concurred with Field's, adding that he believed the Louisiana ordinance to be unreasonable because granting only the chartered company the right to build and operate the new slaughterhouse was "one of those arbitrary and unjust laws made on behalf of a few scheming individuals, by which some of the Southern States have, within the past few years, been so deplorably oppressed and impoverished."

Dogs with any chiropractic based problems can present with a variety of symptoms, most commonly presenting with pain. The dog will attempt to compensate for the pain by changing its posture and gait (style of walking) and this can show as other secondary problems. There are numerous common stressful or traumatic situations that can affect our dogs such as boisterous play, car accidents, age, and handling methods. These can cause abnormal or restricted movements to occur in the spine. This change in proper movement in the spine, refered to as 'subluxations', creates a loss of normal flexibility within the spine. This results in stiffness, which further leads to resistance and decreased performance. These changes can then cause stress in other joints and muscles, and a deterioration pattern ensues.
This process and the role of the chiropractor is similar to that of an orthodontist. The orthodontist applies braces to the teeth and over a period of time makes regular adjustments and corrections to realign teeth, so that in time they will maintain their correct position. A chiropractor adjusts the spine to restore normal motion in the joint. This may need to be done a number of times, until the body accepts this as normal position and the muscles and ligaments support and maintain that motion.
The following are some of the symptoms that can indicate pain caused by a subluxations that may require care:
Even in the absence of pain, subluxations can affect muscle co-ordination and spinal mobility and therefore the performance of a dog, such as:
Have you encountered any of these problems with your dog?

How to manage radical technology-driven changes
NHH researchers have been granted around NOK 25 million for the research project 'How should we manage radical technology-driven changes in established businesses?'
Inger Stensaker is Professor in Strategic Change at NHH Norwegian School of Economics and Dean of NHH Executive Programs. Her research interests are within the area of strategy implementation, strategic change processes, organizational change capacity and qualitative process studies.
She has extensive experience leading collaborative and cross-disciplinary research projects and strongly believes in developing close academic-practitioner relationships.
In her research, Stensaker works closely with firms as they are undergoing strategic change in order to explore how they can develop capacity for change. She typically examines strategic change processes from various levels in the organization (top management, middle management and employee level) and draws on sensemaking and identity theory to understand the dynamics of change.
Her work has appeared in Human Relations, Human Resource Management, British Journal of Management, Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, Organizational Dynamics and Journal of Change Management. Stensaker is past Chair of the ODC division at Academy of Management.

There's always been something special about surf shops. From the amalgamated scent of wax, new wetsuits and fresh boards to the intel on which local break is currently working best, where to get the best post-surf burrito in town and so much more, surf culture resides inside surf shops-that's what makes them special. In Shop Chronicles, a web series, SURFER will be sharing the stories of iconic surf shops.
This episode takes us to a Right Coast surf staple drenched in history, New Jersey's own Heritage Surf Shops. When founder Dan Heritage read an article about how to build his own surfboard in Popular Mechanics Magazine in the early 60s, he was hooked on surfing before the board was even glassed. Heritage's self-shaped board may have broke during its first session, but his spirit for surfing didn't and he ended up mastering the craft and opening a surf shop. Heritage Surf Shop has remained committed to keeping the Garden State frothed on riding waves for over 50 years, hit play to watch their story.

Science in Year 5
Date: 9th Apr 2019 @ 8:26am
In science, we made boats out of paper and tried to ensure they were streamline (pointed ends and curved sides). Next, we had a boat race in which we had to use a straw to blow the boats around an obstacle course. Water resistance was the force that slowed the boats down as they moved through the water.

I am having problems with loading your game it keeps getting stuck while loading?
Posted by Lord Diligent (Firefly) on 24 September 2015 02:37 PM
If you have any problems while loading the game it is often due to a corrupted packfile.
To delete the packfile go to:
98/XP:C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Firefly Studios\Stronghold : Legends
Visa/Win7: C:\ProgramData\Firefly Studios\Stronghold Legends
delete "packfile.fpf". (To see this folder you must have all hidden files and folders shown. This can be done by going to Tools menu in a folder then folder options, then to the view tab, a little bit down you must select "show hidden files and folders") This is a file we create to improve loading times and it is perfectly safe to delete. Uninstalling Stronghold Legends will also delete the packfile.

Get Your Social Media Inbox To Zero
Take Control Over Your Social Media Mentions And Messages
"If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else." – Yogi Berra
Clearly Yogi wasn't talking about social media or social media tools, but I think it's the right sentiment nonetheless. Because while most of us never would have intended to waste precious time each and every day sifting through loads of social media notifications and messages, that's exactly where we find ourselves.
Statista reports that the average social media user spent 106.2 minutes per day on social media in 2015, up from 103.2 the previous year. [Tweet This Stat]
It's time to correct that.
I get close to 500 emails every day. Thank the heavens, I only have to deal with a fraction of them.
Nearly half are spam and Gmail intelligently slides them into a Spam folder. Once or twice a day I'll glance at the accumulated messages, make sure none are from trusted sources, and then delete 'em all.
Another quarter are emails from Google+, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter which go into my Social tab. Most of those are quickly reviewed and deleted as well. (I deliberately want emails for mentions and messages that might be questions so that I don't lose track of them.)
That still leaves over 100 emails per day, but at least these are genuine emails from people that require my attention, if only for a moment.
The sheer volume of emails could be overwhelming and consume an inordinate amount of my day, but I have a tool in place to assist, and processes in place (i.e. labels) to quickly organize and process email.
Why should social media be any different?
Every day I get hundreds and hundreds of social media messages. From Twitter mentions and direct messages, to Facebook and Instagram comments, and everything in between. And that's on a light day. If it's a day where I've published a new article, like this one, I expect my social media engagement to quadruple across all my active accounts.
Do I really need to go to each separate platform to respond to those messages? Is there no way to filter out all of the junk?
Fortunately, there is.
I've found a tool that gives me one place to check Twitter, Facebook and Instagram messages.
Ready to check it out?
Meet AgoraPulse
AgoraPulse is a social media management tool. With it, you can publish & schedule posts, and view beautiful reports for Audience, Engagement, Awareness and Management.
In a recent analysis by Ian Anderson Gray that compared several of the top social media management tools, AgoraPulse was found to be:
#1 in User Satisfaction
#1 in Product Direction
#2 in Easy-To-Learn
#1 in Support
#2 in Usability
#1 in Meet Requirements
#2 in Base Price
That was in comparison with Hootsuite, Sprout Social and Sendible, along with many other apps reviewed and analyzed on G2Crowd. If it weren't for Hootsuite's overwhelming market presence, the competition wouldn't have even been close. (Here's my full Agorapulse Review.)
AgoraPulse supports publishing to Twitter profiles, Facebook pages, LinkedIn profiles & pages, Instagram profiles, and Google+ pages. The mobile app supports Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
There's also a browser extension which you can click to share whatever page you're on to select social channels, and it adds a contextual option whenever you right-mouse click.
When sharing posts, you can share them immediately, schedule for a specific date and time, or add them to a queue. Each social profile can have its own queue with specific times per day that you want to post.
Additionally, when creating a post for multiple networks, you can adjust the text that's shared per network, giving you complete control over what goes out to, say, Twitter versus Facebook.
When it comes to monitoring, the social media tool supports Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, on both mobile and desktop.
With one, single app, you'll be able to monitor incoming messages from five of the most popular networks - and probably the ones generating the most activity for you!
- Twitter Mentions
- Twitter Direct Messages
- Facebook Comments
- Facebook Posts to Page
- Facebook Messages
- Facebook Ad Comments
- Instagram Comments
- Instagram Ad Comments
- LinkedIn Comments
- YouTube Comments
How AgoraPulse Streamlines Your Social Media Inbox
When you connect a profile within AgoraPulse, the tool immediately creates an Inbox tab and a Monitoring tab for Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
The Inbox tab includes both users' mentions and direct messages, as well as replies.
The Monitoring tab includes retweets, as well as tweets resulting from your searches. (More on that in a moment.)
The Inbox tab includes comments on any of your posts, as well as posts to your page and private messages. Comments on Facebook Ads are also included.
The Monitoring tab includes posts from other users that mentioned your page.
The Inbox tab includes users' comments on your posts, as well as comments on your Instagram Ads.
The Monitoring tab includes any media (photos or video) from your hashtag or location searches. (I'll explain those in a moment.)
The Inbox tab includes users' comments on your LinkedIn posts - either your personal profile or your company page, whichever profiles you've connected.
There is no Monitoring / Listening at this time.
The Inbox tab includes users' comments on any of your YouTube channel's videos.
There is no Monitoring / Listening at this time.
So those are the different tabs within AgoraPulse and each social profile. Let's talk now about why they're so special!
The Tabs
The real beauty of each of these tabs is that they bring all of those posts and engagements into single streams.
Take Facebook, for instance. Suppose you shared 3 posts yesterday and got 10 comments on each. To respond within Facebook, you'd have to go to your Page, click on Notifications, click on the notification for one of those comments, and then respond to the comments for that post. Then, repeat for the other two.
With AgoraPulse, you have a SINGLE STREAM of ALL your comments and just Like and/or Reply to them boom, boom, boom.
You can also easily mark one or more comments or notifications as 'reviewed' so that you don't have to see it anymore within AgoraPulse. This is particularly great for Instagram where it's common to get comments with a single smiley face or other emoji - there's little point in responding to those, so I just mark them all as reviewed and move on to the more intentional comments.
Twitter Searches
By default, when you add a Twitter profile, there are two searches created for it. One for your handle (in case someone forgets the @), and one for your website URL.
That means that ANY TIME someone tweets out a link to your site, or any page/post within your site, even if they don't mention you, you'll be able to see that tweet and engage with that individual.
These can be tremendous opportunities for you to identify influencers and opportunities for your brand, since not everyone thinks to @mention someone when tweeting a link. In fact, most people don't!
We'll spend time in another article talking about how to use AgoraPulse as a CRM and for influencer marketing, since the tool includes ways to see all of times you have engaged with another user and track that engagement. But for now, just note that while you can always open a search in Twitter or save a Hootsuite stream dedicated to your URL to get these same results... AgoraPulse does it for you automatically, and integrates it into your social media inbox for seamless monitoring and engagement.
And of course you can disable these searches, as well as add others for hashtags and other words you want to monitor.
Instagram Searches
One of the more powerful but less well known features of AgoraPulse is to create a saved list of Hashtag or Location searches within your Instagram Monitoring tab. This instantly creates an automatically updated feed of all of the posts that fit your search criteria.
In other words, enter any hashtag or location you want in your list, and AgoraPulse will always tell you when someone has created a new post.
You can monitor brand hashtags and locations. You can also monitor key hashtags that you might want to engage with.
Apple, for instance, might want to set up a list that includes #Apple and #iPhone, as well as locations of each of the Apple stores. Anyone using those hashtags or posting to those locations will likely be sharing posts that the company will want to engage with. To that list, Apple might add #smartphone and #tablet and #smartwatch, as those posts might be from potential customers.
It works the same way within your Twitter profile tabs.
How AgoraPulse Saves You Time
So you can certainly see how bringing all of those notifications into aggregated streams can save you incredible amounts of time clicking through different apps, different feeds, and different searches. But we're not done yet.
I mentioned earlier how much spam email I get, and social media isn't much different. Particularly on Twitter with direct messages. Do you even check your DMs any more? Most active Twitter users don't, as it's just filled with nonsense and garbage.
The problem is, how do you know you're not missing opportunities? I do get valid questions and comments every day via Twitter DM (it helps that I send out extremely valuable DMs myself, so that encourages interaction). But to have to wade through all of the junk is overwhelming.
Fortunately, AgoraPulse includes a Moderation capability where you can create rules that search for specific words or phrases and then perform your chosen action.
For instance, ANY direct message I get that mentions TrueTwit is automatically "approved" so I don't have to see it. So are messages that include follow, following, and so on. As you go through your own DMs, you can easily pick out patterns and set up rules to eliminate those messages from your Inbox.
I instantly removed 75% of my daily direct messages!! Today, the only DMs I get are genuine Thank You's and questions to respond to.
You can also assign messages that fit a criteria to team members for review, or tag them.
AgoraPulse is designed to support use by a team. Each team member should have their own account so that you can give them specific permissions, monitor their responses and responsiveness, and potentially assign specific posts to them to review and respond to.
For instance, you might have one team member assigned to Sales and another to Support, so you'll want to be able to make sure the right individual is responding to the right posts. Sure, each of them can be tasked to read all posts and only respond to the ones that apply to them, but it's more efficient if one person goes through the posts during a select time period and responds to or assigns all of them.
And as I mentioned above, you can set up rules to automatically assign posts to team members that fit a certain criteria.
For instance, any direct message that includes "price" or "cost" are likely going to need your Sales individual's attention. While "help" posts will almost always be for Support.
When monitoring posts, the results that you see are ones that have actually already been tagged with your criteria, like your Twitter handle. You'll see that in the lower left, and when you mouse over it, the tag icon appears. It's also there and accessible on other posts and tweets in the same place, like this:
Click on the tag and you can assign whatever tags you want to that post. They might be key topics or keywords you want to associate content with. Or you might group posts by Influencers, Campaigns... you name it.
Tagging posts allows you the flexibility to quickly and easily find specific posts later on, as well as better leverage your social activity.
You might have a Tag called "Embed" that you use any time you run across a tweet that you know you'll want to embed on a blog post later. Instead of saving that tweet's URL in some random note, just tag and find it later easily.
You might run a launch campaign where you guest post on a few sites and do some other activities, and you want to easily compare how each of the participants did. You can tag all of the related tweets and review them together in a single stream.
You're only limited by your creativity!
AgoraPulse Notifications
Finally, you can use AgoraPulse notifications to let you know when you have new items to review, as well as provide a daily summary and weekly Facebook report.
To edit your notification settings, go to Profile and then Edit Profile in the upper right and toggle the notification settings.
Recommending AgoraPulse for Social Media Management
Clearly AgoraPulse is your best option when it comes to managing your "social media inbox" - but what about other aspects of your social media marketing?
I will be going into depth on the scheduling, reporting and other features in upcoming articles, but I've been using AgoraPulse for a while now and have been very impressed. It's become my go-to app for sharing and monitoring social media activity, particularly for Twitter. Hootsuite is still an excellent choice for bloggers on a budget, and businesses who are just starting out on social media. But those of you achieving higher levels of activity on social are going to want a more robust solution, and AgoraPulse is it.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to make his preseason debut Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles in Foxborough, Mass.
Multiple outlets reported the plan is for Brady to play much, if not all, of the first half before ceding to backup Brian Hoyer. The last time Brady faced Philadelphia, he threw for a playoff record 505 yards along with three touchdowns, but the Patriots lost Super Bowl LII to the Eagles in Minneapolis.
Brady, who turned 41 on Aug. 3, said in a radio appearance earlier this week he "absolutely" planned to play after missing the team's preseason opener with a sore back. He took more reps in practice this week after missing some in previous sessions.
"I'm doing well. I'm doing really well. You just always have little things you're working through — that's part of football season — but I feel really good," Brady told sports radio WEEI.
Brady has seen his preseason workload cut back in recent years given his age. He became the oldest player to ever with the league's MVP award last season, and he reiterated on Tuesday that he plans to play beyond this season.
"I certainly expect to be here next year and hopefully beyond," he said. "I have goals to play for a long time. I still love doing it. I still want to do it."

Dear customer, please note we can not ship Davis Instrument weather stations outside Australia.
The Vantage Pro2 series of weather stations from Davis Instruments are high quality monitoring stations popular with education and research users. They're also fantastic stations for monitoring in agriculture and industry or for serious home weather buffs.
The Wireless Weather Envoy is a weather station console without the screen or buttons. It can receive data from the wireless Vantage Pro2 weather stations (ECS-001, ECS-002), wireless integrated sensor suites (ECS-006, ECS-007) or other sensors in the wireless Vantage Pro2 range. It's fully-compatible with the WeatherLink modules.
These are the official Australian version - unlike the some other distributors of Davis gear, weather station gear purchased through us have their radios set to frequencies that are legal in Australia, and come with an Australian plugpack with the slightly odd conector to suit the Envoy.
The Weather Envoy is typically used where the console display is not needed (remote monitoring stations, or where monitoring is done through a WeatherLink connected to a computer or our Modbus gateway.) It is functionally the same as the Vantage Pro2 console except that it automatically reconnects to the integrated sensor suite if power is lost.
The Envoy can be used in a system that already has one or more display consoles. This is useful for situations where the weather station is to be used for logging or connection to our Modbus gateway but you want to also display the station data somewhere else.
The Envoy may be powered using the included AC-power adapter (suits Australian sockets) or with three C batteries (not included). The wireless range is up to 300 m (1000') outdoors, line of sight. Typical range through walls under most conditions is 60 to 120 m (200' to 400') Add wireless repeaters for distances up to 2.7 km (1.7 miles).
A weather station can be connected to a PC using the optional WeatherLink serial cable plugged in to the Envoy. With the WeatherLink serial cable and our gateway module, the station can be connected to a Modbus RTU network and polled by a PLC, SCADA system or computer.

To harness or ameliorate base human nature we need to understand ourselves. What truly stops us as a man or a woman from indulging our base impulses? "Truly" because part of our self-deception in not wanting to acknowledge our base natures is to misrepresent what truly constrains us.
What constrains you? If you are a man what truly stops you from kidnapping a lovely young woman for your sexual gratification? If you are a woman what truly stops you from killing your step-children?
Is it the law of the land and its associated penalties that stops you?
For the majority of citizens during times of peace, prosperity, and general civil order, the law of the land is a powerful inhibitor. If you are part of the mainstream you do not want to marginalise yourself from the mainstream by breaking its laws or going against its conventions.
But for habitual criminals and others on the margins of society the law of the land is not a significant inhibitor. You will believe yourself smart enough to carry out the crime without being caught. If by some misfortune you were caught and charged, you would know that the chances of being found guilty would be small - the rules of evidence in many modern occidental jurisdictions are so stringent that only a watertight case would see you put away. In a jury trial a good lawyer would swing things your way, and you would be well-groomed and contrite.
Were you to be convicted the worst thing that could happen to you for a serious crime in many occidental countries would be a prison sentence of eight years or so, with a very high probability that you would be out on good behaviour in less than four years. While in prison you would be able to study, acquire a trade - and you would be able to do regular body toning. The significant downsides would be separation from loved ones, no intimacy with the opposite sex, and being subjected to the brutality that maintains the social hierarchy within the prison.
During good and stable times the law of the land is a significant inhibitor for the majority. But it is a fragile and superficial inhibitor.
During civil emergencies and at other times when the institutions of a State falter, such as during Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans or in the aftermath of the overthrow of the Ba'athist regime in Iraq, we invariably see a proportion of formerly law abiding citizens showing their true colours by joining habitual criminal elements and indulging in opportunistic crimes not just against property but against fellow citizens. Old scores are settled, but random crimes against strangers also occur. Instances of rape rise significantly.
But even when the opportunity to gratify themselves with impunity at the expense of others arises, many will still not take it. Why not?
Is it the fear of hell and damnation? If you are not a believer, not at all. For others who do believe it would definitely be a factor. Combine the certainty of detection by an omnipresent all-knowing deity with the certainty of a final judgment leading to the imposition of an infinitely severe punishment without any chance of parole, and you have the ingredients of a truly fearsome judicial system.
Is it an internal morality that countervails the dark side? Is it empathy with the victim? Hopefully yes, but unfortunately this is only a weak force for many.
Is it the realisation that society would not survive were we all to yield to our base instincts? Probably not, and if it is, again in a very minor way only. Society as a whole is too large and remote an entity for many of us to care about deeply. If we were to stop and think about it we would recognise that in protecting society from our excesses and those of others we would also be protecting ourselves and our loved ones. But such a thought process is unlikely to feature prominently in the mind of a Mr Hyde stalking his next victim.

Mount Angel School Board is one of three Oregon boards that was selected to receive a $5,000 check for local student scholarships by the Oregon School Boards Association.
The award was presented at the June 12 Mount Angel School Board meeting.
The board decided to award two scholarships in the amount of $2,500 each to Molly Jaeger and Jonathan Valladares Cormier.
The other two qualifying school boards are Yamhill Carlton and Athena-Weston.
The boards qualified for the funds under an OSBA initiative known as the Promise Scholarship Program. Board members completed a multi-step process including board governance professional development, a board project, and superintendent and board self-evaluations.
Steve Kelley, OSBA's director of board development, said each of the boards had made a long-term investment in students' success.
"This program helps students both by providing scholarship funds and investing in board member training," Kelley said in an OSBA press release. "Stronger boards are better prepared to face today's education challenges."
Selected boards are responsible for awarding student scholarships to one or more students by a method of their choosing.
A full description of the program can be found at http://www.osba.org/Programs/BoardDevelopment/Article/PromiseScholarship.aspx.
The Promise campaign, which debuted in November 2014, aims to create public support for K-14 education, to help meet the state's 40-40-20 goals and lift student achievement and graduation rates.
OSBA is a member services agency for more than 200 locally elected boards serving school districts, education service districts and community colleges.
