Outfunnel lets you send automated email sequences and single email campaigns to segments you've defined in Copper, then have your email and web engagement data recorded back to the CRM.
The topics covered in this article are:
- Connecting Outfunnel to Copper
- Sending Outfunnel email campaigns to Copper contacts
- Selecting Copper contacts in Outfunnel
- Check your email engagement data in Copper
- Tracking web visits
- Using email and web engagement data for Lead Scoring
Connecting Outfunnel to Copper
In order to allow Outfunnel and Copper to talk to each other, you'll need to create a special key – your API key – in Copper and then add that to Outfunnel.
Please note that, in Copper, you can only create an API key if you're an account administrator and subscribed to Professional plan an above:
- Head over to Copper and login to your account
- In the left sidebar, click on Integrations (if you don't see this, then you probably don't have the right access level – speak with the account owner to either make you an admin or have them follow the rest of these steps)
- Click on API Keys
- Click Generate API Key
- Copper will then generate an API key for you. It's also a good idea to give the key a label, particularly if you plan on integrating with more than one other platform. NB Keep this key super-safe!
- Copy the API key and then head back over to Outfunnel
- Go to Account > Integrations and, next to Copper, click Connect
- Paste the key into the API key field and add the email address you use to login to Copper.
- Finally, click Save
Where to find your API key in your Copper dashboard
And this is where you need to add it in Outfunnel
That's it!
Copper and Outfunnel are now connected and ready to talk to each other. The next step is to create an email campaign.
Sending email campaigns to Copper contacts
Outfunnel allows you to create two types of email campaign:
- Single email campaigns – a one-off email that will be sent to anyone that matches the targeting criteria at the time of sending the campaign. Suitable for announcements, invites, sharing new content, etc.
- Multi-stage email sequences – a multi-stage, drip campaign that will be launched for existing users and/or new users, as they are added to the list. Great for automating lead nurturing or follow-ups.
Pick the type of campaign that best suits your aim.
Picking your Copper contacts in Outfunnel
When creating an email campaign in Outfunnel, whether it's a single or multi-stage campaign, you'll need to choose who is going to receive those messages.
You can choose the recipients for campaigns based on three conditions in Copper:
- Lead Status (eg. New, Unqualified, Qualified, etc.)
- Contact Type (eg. Potential Customer, Current Customer)
- Tag (eg. WebinarAttendee, Tradeshow19Nov, etc.)
If you want to filter using a different field, we're open to suggestions.
So, say for example you have a Lead Status in Copper called "New lead". Selecting that in Outfunnel will result in that message being sent out to everyone who matches that criterion.
Please note that if you're sending a Sequence campaign and someone matches the relevant criterion (For example Contact Type or Tag) at the time of sending the first email, but stops matching the criterion before subsequent emails are sent, then they will be automatically unsubscribed from receiving that campaign.
Personalizing emails with data from Copper
If you want to add a dash of personalization to your emails (tip: you should!), you can select from a list of the most commonly used fields as well as any custom fields you may have added to Copper yourself.
Syncing email engagement data to Copper
Once you've sent your email campaign, all your email engagement data will be automatically synced to Copper as an Activity.
By having easy access to your email marketing data from within Copper, you can streamline your sales process and quickly focus on the hottest leads. For example, you could build a call list from only those Leads or Contacts that have opened or clicked the latest campaign.
All of your engagement stats are synced as Activities in Copper, meaning you can create filters or view reports that use this data, for example:
- Get a quick overview of your engagement stats by going to the Activity tab in the Company Dashboard. You can also use this view to check individual engagement events for each contact.
- You can also use the People view to create a filter based on opens/clicks etc. Go to People > Show filters (the small filter icon in the top right-hand corner) > Activity type. Don't forget to click Save Filter once you're done creating it!
Syncing between Copper and Mailchimp
While Outfunnel's own email tool is great for most cases, we don't yet offer all the advanced features. As an Outfunnel user you can also use our seamless 2-way Copper-Mailchimp integration that lets you sync all Copper contacts or specific segments to Mailchimp and record email engagement back to Copper.
Read more about our 2-way Copper-Mailchimp integration.
Tracking web visits
Web visitor tracking is great if you want to prioritize or segment leads who have visited specific pages on your site.
Our web visitor tracking feature will allow you to have web visit data added to Copper contacts.
Automatically calculate Lead Scores based on email and web engagement
Last but not least, you can use all the email engagement data generated by Outfunnel's own email tool, our Copper-Mailchimp integration and website tracking feature to calculate lead scores and automatically sync this to copper-

In The Moment ... June 28, 2017 Show 124 Hour 2
Under the Every Student Succeeds Act, states must create an indicator of English Language Proficiency for k-12 students. More than 80 different languages are spoken in homes across South Dakota. Some school districts have very few English language learners, but in districts like Huron, nearly 1 in 4 students speak a language other than English at home. And as the population of Sioux Falls grows and diversifies, the need for resources increases.
Demi Moon is the Director of Federal Programs and Assessment for the Sioux Falls School District. She has also worked with English as a Second Language programs in both Huron and Sioux Falls. Demi joins us in the studio to discuss the need for English language learning programs in South Dakota, and how the state's ESSA plan might help.
Cataracts affects nearly 70,000 South Dakotans. Cloudy vision impacts our emotional and lifestyle well being. Dr. John Berdahl is an ophthalmologist at Vance Thompson Vision. June is Cataract Awareness Month. Dr. Berdahl spoke with SDPB's Cara Hetland.
Dakota Political Junkies Jon Hunter and Roger Whittle join us for our weekly panel discussion on state politics. Today we talk about the departure of state Rep. Don Haggar as he takes a job with Americans for Prosperity. We also discuss early foundations of the 2018 campaign for governor as candidates begin to reveal their strategies.

For Maxlandia!!!
— Max
You've Got Fail is the fourteenth episode in Season 2 of The Thundermans.
Max tries to win an epic-fail video contest by submitting a video of Phoebe as she practices ballet. Meanwhile, Billy, Nora, and Hank, have poison ivy and need to deal with it without telling Barb.
Max is using Billy and Nora to record Epic Fail videos for a Chirper contest in which the first video to get one million re-chirps wins $10,000. He tells them to act out a scene where Nora "accidentally" hits Billy on his "special" area. But, their acting doesn't seem natural enough. Phoebe arrives from a ballet rehearsal and starts teasing Max. Max fires back calling her ballet, "buttcraker." Phoebe tells them she will make her debut dance and become The Swan.
Max wants Phoebe to leave so that he can finish working on the epic fail video. He wants to win the money to buy an Island and start a small dictatorship called "Maxlandia!" When Nora realizes that she and Billy have nothing to gain from the video, she hits both Max and Billy on their groins. Phoebe and Nora watch their brothers in pain and laugh away.
Later in the house, Max blames Billy and Nora for the poor performance of his videos. They find Phoebe in the living room dressed in a ballet tutu, making a video to invite people to buy tickets to the ballet performance. Max tries to kick Phoebe out of the room but she tells him to beat it. So, he asks Nora and Billy to ignore Phoebe and continue making the video in the house. Billy lets his skateboard loose. It rolls all the way to Phoebe where she steps and trips on it. She falls down in a very epic way! She even makes the TV fall on top of her.
As Phoebe struggles to get up, Nora tells Max that's the kind of epic fail videos he should be making. Max likes Nora's idea and fires her so that she doesn't take any credit. Max pretends to care about Phoebe's fall but instead wants to take the phone that Phoebe was using so that he can post Phoebe's fall video online. Phoebe reacts quickly and telekinetically gets her phone back before Max gets a hold of it. She makes bad ballet puns and then leaves to post the good parts of the video. Max vows to get the phone. For Maxlandia!
Barb tells Hank that she hired a gardener to remove the poison-ivy bush in the backyard. She also asks Billy and Nora to stay inside so that they don't get the poison-ivy and miss Phoebe's ballet. Hank is offended that Barb doesn't trust him to take care of the kids. After Barb caves in, Billy throws a frisbee into the bushes with poison-ivy. Nora tries to remember Barb saying something about it but none of them were paying attention. So, they ask their dad for permission to get it and he agrees. Billy goes in and comes back with poison-ivy leaves in his shirt. He does an "up-top" with Nora and they continue playing with the frisbees.
Nora beats up Billy with a pillow for giving her poison-ivy. They both start scratching. Their dad comes over and asks them not to tell Barb that it happened during his watch. He promises to get a cure. Nora hugs her dad and rubs herself on him to spread the poison-ivy to him. That way, he will want the cure as much as they need it.
Max walks in on Phoebe sleeping on the couch. He uses telekinesis to pull the phone away from Phoebe's hand but her grip is too strong. Max then gets closer to Phoebe and slowly swaps the phone with a pastry. He uses the phone to post Phoebe's epic fail video. He then rubs the phone on his armpit and puts it back in Phoebe's hands. He takes the pastry and tries to get a clean getaway.
At school, everyone is watching Phoebe's epic fail video online. Gideon congratulates Phoebe on the video. Phoebe thinks he's talking about the good video that she posted. So, Phoebe feels proud that she sent out the message. Oh boy. Max and Gideon make a lot of "falling" and "smashing" and "break a leg" puns but Phoebe doesn't get it. Max congratulates Phoebe on having fans even before becoming The Swan. Phoebe does a quick performance for her fans where they all record her, hoping she would fall. They're disappointed but she promises a full show on Saturday.
She then goes to the school's ballet room for rehearsal and finds Madame Gigi who tells her the ballet is all sold out, thanks to her video. Phoebe gets excited about the performance but Madame Gigi tells her that she will stay home and Matilda will become the swan instead. She shows Phoebe "The Epic Faillerina" video that Max posted where Phoebe falls and breaks things. She quickly figures out how it happened. Max!!!
Phoebe confronts Max for posting "The Epic Faillerina" video. Max believes it was good for her because she is now a Chirper sensation and she sold the tickets to the performance. Too bad she won't be performing. Gideon comes over trying to get Phoebe to take a picture with a friend of his, bragging about knowing Phoebe. Phoebe promises to get Max back right after getting her lead back. Unfortunately, she trips and falls in front of everyone. Then knocks another girl's books down. So much for proving she's not "The Epic Faillerina".
Down in Max's Lair, Max brags to Dr. Colosso about his video almost reaching one million re-chirps. Colosso has even made a flag for Maxlandia although Max doesn't want him to be part of it. Max then goes to check on the video. It's deleted! Phoebe sneaks behind him and reveals that she deleted the video. She had come to Max's Lair to rub some of his things on her armpits. (Apparently it's a Thunder Twin thing.) Instead, she found Max's computer opened and logged in (thanks to Dr. Colosso). So, she went and deleted the video. She then hacked Max's email and sent an email to Madame Gigi as Max confessing he faked the video. This convinced Madame Gigi to give Phoebe the lead back.
At the ballet performance, Phoebe and the rest of her ballet class are performing on stage. Barb, Hank, Billy and Nora are all excited to see Phoebe's performance but Max is disappointed. Max gives Gideon his phone to record everything that happens. He then moves closer to the stage and starts using telekinesis to mess with Phoebe by moving things on stage. Phoebe figures out what Max is up to so she dances away from him in order to anticipate his every move. She manages to overcome everything Max throws at her. She uses telekinesis to make it look like Max stole a woman's purse. The woman beats up Max forcing him to leave. Phoebe concludes the great performance successfully. Madame Gigi is pleased and prepares her to become The Black Swan for the final performance.
Max sneaks in on Phoebe in the changing room and locks her up in the janitor's closet. He tells Phoebe that she is too good at ballet and since he can't make her fail, he will become the Black Swan and "fail" on behalf of Phoebe. He puts on the Black Swan outfit and walks to the stage.
During the performance, the Black Swan causes all the other girls to trip and fall. Barb suspects that Max is the Black Swan. Gideon continues recording the video, calling him, "Girlfriend." Barb notices leeches on Hank, making him confess that they got the Amazon plant after he and the kids got poison ivy.
Back in the closet, Phoebe keeps screaming for someone to let her out. Finally the janitor comes over. He opens the door for her but she knocks him down with the door and rushes to the stage where Max, the Black Swan is trying to embarrass himself as much as possible. When Max notices Phoebe, Max tries to run away but Phoebe keeps blocking him. The Thunder Twins fight-dance together for a while before Phoebe telekinetically removes Max's mask revealing to everyone that he was the Black Swan. The ballet girls all turn against Max, embarrassing him even more.
Later at home, Phoebe brags to Max about winning the Chirper Epic Fail Video contest. Gideon gave her Max's video to post because he thinks they're dating. Phoebe tells Max that she used the money she won to pay for Hank, Nora and Billy's leech removal. Then she used the remaining amount to buy Max a piece of land. A small piece of land. Max thanks his sister and says it's a start for Maxlandia.

Once you're trying to remodel a bathroom with a low finances, and your ambition, creativeness, and want for change is excessive then it is advisable be artistic. For example, in case your toilet is small you can profit from the storage area above the ground by installing high lavatory storage items which only take up a small quantity of flooring area. Each varieties of sinks do not provide cupboard space underneath.
If you transform a bathroom, you possibly can change features from lighting to fixtures. In case you are available in the market for a backyard model tub then it's best to critically think about the addition of a jet model tub. One can also gain some contemporary ideas on the way to combine colours with ground and wall tiles as well as practical materials to be used depending on usage and performance.
In case you are lucky enough to live in or near a bigger metropolis you may go to some very nice plumbing present rooms to see displays and search recommendation from skilled designers on how you can add value to your small lavatory remodeling ideas.
Looking at their decorations might simply inspire extra toilet transforming ideas allowing you to decide on the perfect design. The newest pattern in rest room transforming ideas is wall to wall toilet rugs, which I think smarten up the look of bathrooms enormously.
You will have to decide on whether you're going to try the lavatory remodeling venture yourself or if you plan to hire a professional toilet transforming contractor to make sure that the job is finished correctly the primary time. 6. Toilets: Relocating a bathroom can name for major lavatory remodeling.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday: A Gamer's Complete Guide
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are big sale days for gamers. Whether you're looking for a new console or to score games at a discount, you should be able to find something to buy in the coming holiday season.
Whether you're buying for yourself or making Christmas purchases for others, here's everything gamers need to know to get the most out of the big post-Thanksgiving sales.
What Are Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
Black Friday is the name of the infamous Friday following America's Thanksgiving celebration. It marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. As such, tons of products are steeply discounted.
This makes Black Friday the best time of year to shop for anything that you don't want to pay full price for.
In 2019, Black Friday takes place on November 29.
Cyber Monday is the Monday immediately following Black Friday, a time when online retailers historically noted that their sales sharply increased. As the name suggests, this is the day for online sales.
In 2019, Cyber Monday takes place on December 2.
Black Friday sales take place at physical stores as well as online, with sales for just about everything. Cyber Monday is strictly online-only, meaning sites like Amazon or Newegg are your destinations. Usually, Steam and console digital markets have sales around this time too.
However, in recent years, Black Friday and Cyber Monday have sort of morphed into one large event. You'll find online deals available well before the actual Cyber Monday date, so you don't even need to visit physical stores to get the best deals anymore.
The Best Black Friday Gaming Deals
The appeal of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales is that almost every retailer participates. This means you'll find a variety of gaming items, including consoles, games, accessories, and subscriptions.
However, don't get carried away; remember that not every price drop is a bargain. Some prices are marked up ahead of Black Friday and then "marked down" again. Use a price comparison tool to make sure you're actually getting a bargain. And don't buy something you won't use or play just because it's on sale.
Here are 2019's best Black Friday deals for gamers, sorted by platform so you can find what you're interested in. If you're shopping for a console, keep in mind that new PlayStation and Xbox consoles are slated for release in 2020. You may wish to save your cash until then for the upcoming systems.
The Best Black Friday Nintendo Deals
Whether you're interested in buying a Switch for the first time or want to pick up some of the hottest Nintendo games, these deals are for you.
Nintendo Switch With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle
Nintendo's premiere Switch bundle for Black Friday 2019 is identical to what the company offered in 2018. For the same sticker price as the Switch, you also get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a full-price game, thrown in.
However, this deal comes with a caveat. In August 2019, Nintendo released a slightly revised model of the Switch. Its main difference is improved battery life: the original model offered between 2.5 and 6.5 hours on a charge, while the updated system can run for 4.5 to nine hours.
This bundle includes the older system model, so you should be aware, especially if you plan to use the Switch on-the-go.
Nintendo Switch With Spyro Bundle
Unless you really want Mario Kart, we recommend this Switch bundle instead. It's the same price, but includes the revised Switch model with superior battery life. Walmart also throws in a copy of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, a great remastering of the original Spyro the Dragon titles.
While this game isn't worth as much as Mario Kart, getting the current model of the Switch makes up for it.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild—50% off
Breath of the Wild is one of the Switch's premier titles, and rarely goes on sale since it's a first-party Nintendo game. You can grab this Game of The Decade contender for half-off at Walmart on Black Friday, which is even cheaper than other retailers are offering it for.
The Best Black Friday PlayStation Deals
Interested in picking up a PS4 or something new for your current PlayStation? Here are the top deals for the PlayStation platform.
PlayStation 4 Slim – Only on PlayStation Bundle—33% off
PlayStation 4 Slim - Only on PlayStation Bundle PlayStation 4 Slim - Only on PlayStation Bundle Buy Now On Amazon $355.00
The PS4 is home to many great exclusives, and you get three of them out of the gate with this PlayStation 4 Slim – Only on PlayStation Bundle. The Last of Us Remastered is the best way to play the beloved PS3 title. Horizon Zero Dawn is a masterclass in open-world gameplay. And God of War was one of 2018's best titles, bundling a gripping story with tight combat gameplay.
If you don't have a PS4 yet, this is a great introduction. Just note that The Last of Us and God of War are not kid-friendly.
PlayStation VR Multi-Game Bundle—33% off
If you already have a PS4, PlayStation VR provides a great way to try proper virtual reality without a complex PC setup. This bundle includes the headset and required PS Camera, in addition to five full VR games.
These aren't all hits—Everybody's Golf VR is pretty limited, and PlayStation Worlds is basically a collection of demos. But Skyrim VR, Astro Bot Rescue Mission, and Resident Evil 7 are all acclaimed titles, so there's a lot of value here.
Keep in mind that this bundle does not include the PlayStation Move motion controllers. Not every PS VR game requires them, but many do.
PlayStation VR Game and Accessories Bundle—29% off
PlayStation VR Game and Accessories Bundle PlayStation VR Game and Accessories Bundle Buy Now On Amazon $350.00
If you're not interested in some of the games from the above bundle, or want to get the Move controllers, this PlayStation VR Game and Accessories Bundle is for you.

These controllers are pretty expensive on their own, so this bundle is a good buy if you plan to play a lot of VR titles.

SAN DIEGO, August 24, 2016 — Accusations of crime and cover up against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton are many and varied, but the response reverts to the defense, "It's all a right-wing conspiracy." This defense has resurfaced in response to new allegations about "pay-for-play" at the State Department and Clinton Foundation, and as part of the Clinton campaign attack on Donald Trump's new campaign CEO.
Christina Reynolds, Deputy Communications Director for the Clinton campaign, sent two fundraising emails last week. In one she observed, "We've had a conservative media in this country for a while. I don't always like what they have to say, but I respect their role and their right to exist."
She went on to talk about a conservative outlet that she does not respect: Breitbart News. Her email came on the heels Steve Bannon's appointment as new chief executive of the Trump campaign. Brannon stepped down as executive chairman of Breitbart to take on his role in the Trump campaign.
Hillary Clinton's email proves the recuperative power of graft
"Breitbart is something different," Reynolds explains. "They make Fox News look like a Democratic Party pamphlet. They're a different breed altogether–not just conservative but radical, bigoted, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic conspiracy peddlers who never have been and never should be anywhere near the levers of power in this country."
Her implication is that Clinton would be viewed by any fair minded person as a solid presidential prospect if not for the fact that we are getting our news from people who are out to get her. She goes further, though.
"It goes without saying that we have to beat these people. But I want to beat them so decisively that their kind never rises again."
Reynolds isn't the only one in a mood to deliver a beating. In February, Clinton resurrected the right-wing-conspiracy mantra at a CNN-hosted town hall meeting in New Hampshire:
"At this point it's probably not correct to say it's a conspiracy because it's out in the open … There is no doubt about who the players are, what they're trying to achieve … It's real, and we're going to beat it."
By now the Clintons and their surrogates should be ashamed to talk about right-wing conspiracies. Clinton originally put out this line in 1998 while being interviewed by Matt Lauer on NBC's Today Show.
Responding to the accusation that President Bill Clinton had an affair with White House intern, Monica Lewinsky, Mrs. Clinton said, "The great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president."
Not long afterward, President Clinton admitted that his previous responses to the Lewinsky allegations had been misleading. "Indeed, I did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong."
Hillary Clinton never apologized for her "right wing conspiracy" accusations.
This spoke volumes about her character long before Benghazi, before her private email server, before her lies about whether she turned over all the emails to the FBI or whether she dealt with classified information, and long before evidence of the connection between the Clinton Foundation and favors granted by the State Department under her leadership.
Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton implicated in pay-for-play
Long before any of the current news, Clinton's allegations of right-wing conspiracy told us everything we needed to know about the potential presidential candidate.
The fact that her party still nominated her and that she is within a stone's throw of the White House also speaks volumes. It tells us everything we need to know about the morally compromised mindset of America's current electorate.

So…we all know what pork tenderloin is (ours will either be grilled or cooked in a cast-iron grill pan), but what exactly is "Hot Fanny Sauce"? Chef Todd, who once cooked at the restaurant of its inventor George Germon, describes it as "a fresh-pepper barbecue sauce," made with onions, jalapeño peppers, chicken stock, sherry, red-wine vinegar, salt, and ground red and poblano peppers. Todd tells us he doesn't really recall preparing this sauce back when he worked at Al Forno (he worked at the pasta station, preparing all the pasta entrees and sides, and the starch sides such as potatoes), but is enjoying the opportunity to whip it up here as part of the Julia Project.
How did "Hot Fanny Sauce" get its name? According to Julia's cookbook from which we derived the basic recipe, Cooking with Master Chefs, there's no big story behind it. George Germon just liked the name! (To see him whipping it up, look for the video at this link.)
There's another project going on today that you might enjoy knowing about. Ruth just gave Marc a rather special gift…the gift of a full kitchen inside our garage at home, complete with a smoker. And since that time, Marc has been busy smoking beef brisket like you wouldn't believe. The end result? Bistro 185 is going to have yet another notable special on tonight's menu: Smoked Beef Brisket with Ruth's corn pudding. Now, how are you supposed to decide what to have tonight? Good luck deciding!

Last week, a 3-judge court of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a unanimous opinion striking down North Carolina's voter identification laws. Guy offered a terrific discussion of the opinion here, and I don't have much to add to his analysis. It is dead on. I want to focus instead on the lessons of the case about judicial behavior, race, and constitutional interpretation.
Initial reactions to the case have followed the expected scripts. While progressives write that "one of the most brazen attempts in modern times to limit black voters' access to the polls has now officially failed," state Republican leaders argue instead that "we can only wonder if the intent is to reopen the door for voter fraud, potentially allowing fellow Democrat politicians like Hillary Clinton and Roy Cooper to steal the election." This is precisely what political polarization looks like. The world looks very different to all of us, depending on where we stand.
The North Carolina decision shows that judges are no different from the rest of us. Reading the opinion took me back to a case decided in 1976, Beer v. United States. This was a case in New Orleans decided under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. What reminded me of this case is how differently the lower court opinion and the Supreme Court understood and interpreted the underlying facts. Judge Spottswood Robinson authored the lower court opinion. He saw nuance, he saw implicit bias, he knew history and applied it to the facts at hand. In contrast, the Supreme Court, in an opinion authored by Justice Potter Stewart, simplified things in cartoonish fashion. There was no history, no nuance. The richness of the lower court opinion was transformed into a dry recitation of facts and no appreciation for what made New Orleans a covered jurisdiction in the first place.
This is exactly the McCrory litigation, but backwards. The lower court judge looked at what the Court of Appeals cast as a "suspicious narrative" and saw it in an "innocuous light." The examples the Court of Appeals provided are almost jaw-dropping. For example: "although the court specifically found the above facts, it dismissed Plaintiffs' argument that this sequence of events demonstrated unusual legislative speed because the legislature "'acted within all [of its] procedural rules.'" The Court of appeals did not buy it. "But, of course, a legislature need not break its own rules to engage in unusual procedures. Even just compared to the process afforded the pre-Shelby County bill, the process for the 'full bill' was, to say the very least, abrupt." (44)
The Court of Appeals responded similarly to the finding that the state had asked for racial data and then changed those voting practices that were disproportionately used by African American voters. To the district court, North Carolina had simply eliminated a system that African Americans "preferred" as "more convenient." The Court of Appeals did not buy it.
For anyone willing to take the long view, the North Carolina omnibus bill has a historical lineage dating back to the late 19th century and the Mississippi plan. This is when Southern states began to remove Black voters from the voting rolls by any means necessary. The Court of Appeals saw the connection: "this sequence of events -- the General Assembly's eagerness to, at the historic moment of Shelby County's issuance, rush through the legislative process the most restrictive voting law North Carolina has seen since the era of Jim Crow -- bespeaks a certain purpose." (46). Of course it does. But the district court judge could not see it.
Notice the import of this discussion: ideology matters, of course. The Court of Appeals judges were nominated by Presidents Clinton and Obama, whereas the district court judge was nominated by George W. Bush. But more importantly, the discussion highlights the need for judicial diversity, for a diversity of perspectives and worldviews. Where one person sees a state seeking to safeguard the integrity of its elections, another sees a bald-faced attempt to suppress the vote. Where one judge sees that "things have changed dramatically" in the last 50 years, another sees a country where racial discrimination continues to infect the electoral system. And so on.
This is why the Scalia seat matters. The gig is up. Constitutional interpretation is not an abstract, objective enterprise. The American public knows better. Win elections, and constitutional meaning will eventually change accordingly. We can see this plainly in the 2016 presidential race. Per a recent 538 analysis: "Clinton And Trump Are Both Promising An Extreme Supreme Court."
This discussion raises a more interesting yet more troubling set of questions. How did we arrive at a place in our constitutional history where the Supreme Court is seen as a judicial oracle, as the ultimate expositor of constitutional meaning? How is this view of the Court possible in a post-Bush v. Gore world? How do we square the fact that "the gig is up" with the apparent respect we accord the Court and its rulings?
This is where the "power of myth" comes in (with apologies to Joseph Campbell). I will say more about this in a future post.

Ok, you didn't really expect that I would blog every single day I was here did you?
Well, as it turns out i have had a few late nights this week, and I am just totally wiped in the mornings when I wake at 6:15 to leave the house at 7am to get to work at 8am. Then I sit at my desk like a zombie for a while, working out how to be awake enough to verifiy passport details.
It's been a crazy week. I arrived in this country a week ago and it feels like it was a month ago. Everything has happened so damn fast. Somehow I have managed to find my feet this week, but I am still feeling very disorientated in this town. But hey, it's only been a week, and I can't expect to know everything straight away I spose….
The last couple of nights have been my first forays into going out in DC and experiencing some nightlife. Last night I went to an Irish bar which sold American food and Danish beer. The best part was catching up with an old friend who has really settled into DC life so much that he's staying for good. It's amazing what happens to us Big G boys in a new city 😉
The food wasn't bad though. I had some chicken wrap thing with buffalo sauce. A bit spicy and tangy and tasted nice. This bar was inside a hotel in the yuppy classy part of DC called Dupont Circle. This area was once a predominantly gay part of town, but apparently it is not so much any more as everyone has moved in as well, forcing the rental prices up and pushing the other people out and pulling the affluent in. It's a pretty part of town though and I will post some photos as soon as I get my new camera going (it arrived today!)
Tonight I met up with the lovely Amber, whom I have known in cyber land for years, but just met for the first time tonight. She showed me around an area called Adams Morgan near where she lives and we ate in an awesome little New Orleans restaurant. I had Jambalaya with Andouille (spicy sausage) which was good stuff. So was the Rum Hurricane drink (ironically named) The owner gave us some beignets which are apparently famous from the Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. The owner of the little restaurant apparently used to work there and we gobbled down the fried pastry treats fast. They were damn good!
After dinner, we went to a pool hall (can't remember the name now) and played some 8 and 9 ball whilst Sweet Child 'O Mine blasted out of the jukebox…
Then we walked through Adams Morgan some more and I was shown some of the cooler and trendier clubs and bars on 18th Street.
Bear in mind that I just snapped these shots on my little K750i Camera Phone, so they aren't the best quality or positioning!
After we walked on down to U Street and checked out the Black Cat and few other bars in the area we parted for the evening and I started my long commute home. About an hour later I reach the end of the driveway where I am living and made my way up to the house to where I am right now. It's a bit of a spooky walk at night!
So, finally it's the weekend. Time to get some sleep (It's now 3am!) and hopefully a bit of a sleep in!

This will be taking place on Saturday March 10th 2018 in Woking, Surrey in a room in Christchurch in the very centre of Woking. The plan is to simply for a bunch of us to meet up and play some games with 54mm toys and chat about 54mm gaming and have a fun, relaxed day. The details on the day are on the Little Wars Revisited forum here: link and that thread will be used to discuss the plan for the day, work out who is coming and what games we are going to play. Everyone is welcome to come, but you need to register with me in advance so I know who is coming so we can plan games, etc. Cost of room hire will be split between the attendees. Let me know if you are interested in coming email: email@example.com Mike Lewis
Oh, I wish I could be there. Best of luck with it!

With its many product offerings, Google has become a cornerstone that many digital marketers rely on to do their work. There's AdWords, Google Search Console and the very useful Analytics. But Google is one company that refuses to settle. Compiled below is a list of some of the lesser-known innovations that might just make your job a little easier…
Desperately seeking a trend? With Google Trends, it's easy to see search trends over time as well as compare searches for different terms. It's especially interesting to see their annual search report, providing the most popular searches by volume and time of year.
Looking for a free font? Don't risk downloading something sketchy from an untrusted source when you can access an entire library of free open source fonts from Google. They encourage collaboration and promise that using their fonts will not slow down the load time of your site. So no matter where in the world you're working, you can find quality typography for your design project.
Need some data? No matter what it is you're researching, you're sure to find hard numbers about it on Google's public data directory. There are organisations ranging from the International Monetary Fund to the U.S. Census Bureaus to the Eurostat, including really useful ones like the Google Flu Trends Estimates.
Prefer academic data? Not to worry, because Google Scholar has you covered here as well. You can search through scholarly publications, from theses to court opinions to professional societies, just to name a few. Google also ranks these articles by weighing the full text, who wrote it and how many times its been cited by other publications.
Feeling artsy? Featuring content from over 1200 of the world's leading museums and archives, Google Arts & Culture provides a peek into the global craftsmanship behind many different artistic mediums. You can search by artists, movements, places or historical events but be warned: this site may not actually enhance your productivity.
Want to spice up some boring data? Leave it to Google. You can now make GIFs out of your data. You read that correctly. Simply enter the data you want to represent into the Data GIF Maker and Google will turn it into a more entertaining visual. What more could you possibly want?
Are there any Google products that you can't live without? Let us know in the comments!

Agreed. Heitner is like 34 years-old. AB is a moron for a lot of things, one of which is letting a relative novice try to navigate a situation that is about to effectively and maybe even literally end his career.Why is Heitner talking to Klemko at all? Putting aside AB for a minute, I would be PISSED if my lawyer jumped at the first opportunity to disavow a text message.
AB is toast and the hammer is coming.

Many of us at one time in our lives
Have traveled many rough and bumpy roads
And feel weary about the roads ahead
But have survived,
Some roads we have traveled have supplied
Us with warning signs.
Some signs tell us that our lives
Should be taken with caution
And unless we stop and yield to
The right direction
Our lives may come to a dead end.
We may have been led through the
Tunnel of darkness not knowing
Where the darkness ends, but as we
Continue to travel on to complete
A great milestone, we realize
That where the darkness ends
The sunshine begins.

Whaddayaknow, we're rated PG this time (just a few li'l S bombs)
Gene Hackman brings his steady excellentness to the high-school basketball classic in the 14th edition of Scoring At The Movies. This is one of Ryan's most-beloved sports pictures. Chris, on the other hand, isn't 100% down with it, particularly with Jimmy's Hamlet-esque struggles to play or not to play. We also share our favourite scene (they're vastly different), we talk about how much sports are in this sports flick, about Coach Dale's on-going clash with the whole town of Hickory and about how Ryan is Ollie.
For The Record: Hickory's opponents in the state finals are the South Bend Central Bears. Also, Robert Duvall isn't 88 just yet. Hackman, Connery and Eastwood did turn 88 this year, but Duvall's 88th birthday isn't until January 2019.

With a production cost of about N1.27 billion ($8m), the movie adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's novel Half Of A Yellow is being tagged as Nollywood's most expensive movie ever.
The movie, shot in Tinapa Film Studio in Cross Rivers & the UK is set to be released shortly. The cast comprises of Nigerian & Britons including Chiwetel Ejiofor (Kinky Boots, American Gangster, 2012, Salt); Thandie Newton (Mission: Impossible II, Crash, The Pursuit of Happiness); Anika Noni Rose (Dreamgirls, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, For Coloured Girls); Joseph Mawle (Women in Love, Game of Thrones); John Boyega (Attack the Block); Onyeka Onwenu, Nigerian singer and actress; Genevieve Nnaji and Zack Orji.
With a production cost in the billions, it is a huge step in the right direction for Nollywood and the future impact of Nollywood on the world movie scene. Nigeria's movie industry is currently ranked 3rd most valuable movie industry after, Hollywood & Bollywood (India).
Chineze Anyaene's film, 'Ije,' also recorded tremendous success at the cinemas, making over N57 million and viewed by an estimated 14,000 people. In 2010, 'Ije' was reputed to be Nigeria's highest selling movie in the cinemas, returning to the cinemas three times that year. Its success was next to Hollywood's 'Avatar.' 'Anchor Baby' produced by Lonzo Nzekwe also made over N17 million.

I still remember one when i was a kid but haven't seen one for years now. They were used to cross rivers especially in flood time. They operated on a pulley system...very practical
People all dressed up to the nines for a photo outside a small school - no indoor shots much then except by professional photographers.
Click on the photo for detail
When trip to town took all day - a stay over night and all day home...I think I know who these two are - well him but can't recall the relationship.
This is my Uncle Pat (Flanagan) He was a bit of a larrikan when he was young and mum told me he and his friends used to hoon about on their horses much as young guys do with cars today - he was a wonderful old uncle and a bit wicked so we loved him a lot. He could still ride his horse right up till he had a stroke at about 75.

I love those shots Therese. I always wonder what was going on in people's heads during the time the photo was shot. What did they run off and do next etc etc.
Today we met a lovely elderly people from Perth who drove to Vic from there with their caravan in tow. We were all at the same bit of the Great Ocean Road together and we got to speaking about the way life must have been back in the day. No commodities of today etc etc..amazingly tough people I reckon.
We also got to speaking about family heritage as they were travelling to find out about their ancestors and all that. Just as I have been doing with mine. Well, the hardest is my Nan who is of Aboriginal descent..I have to go to West Wyalong and Goulburn to trace anymore of that exciting history :)

We believe in partnering with different kinds of financial services providers who cater for specific needs of their low income clients. Our implementing partners are regulated and licensed financial services providers on all levels of the financial industry in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. These include grass-root savings and lending groups (registered with the Ministry of Sports and Culture in their respective countries), savings and credit cooperatives (SACCOs), micro finance banks, and commercial banks. Swisscontact is also a member of the Association of Microfinance Institutions in Kenya and Uganda. For the development and implementation of financial services skills development we partner with educational institutions at university and vocational training level.
In order to assure sustainability, we focus on partnerships with commercially oriented providers. Partners are selected based on their economic feasibility, relevance for economic growth for the aspiring people at the bottom of the pyramid, existing and potential outreach to client beneficiaries and relevance with regards to gender and governance standards.
Of importance is that each partner organization demonstrates ownership of initiatives through commitment in personnel, time and financial resources. The basic principle in the use of resources, is the implementation of private sector approaches whereby public funds and donations have a triggering function among partners, and are ultimately replaced by private investments.

PJ Foundation on the ball with summer fundraising
Friday, July 20th, 2018
on behalf of Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity
RIVAL football fans joined forces to raise money in memory of a young boy who tragically passed away due to a rare medical condition.
Paul James Cockburn, known as PJ, was just 12 when he died of organ failure as a result of a condition known as Short Bowel Syndrome.
Despite his health steadily improving during his childhood, PJ, from Linlithgow, West Lothian sadly passed away in 2017.
The PJ Foundation was set up in his memory to raise funds for the Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity (ECHC) to help them transform the lives of young people undergoing treatment as they did for PJ.
Now, a pre-season friendly match between Hibernian and Linlithgow Rose has helped raise £430 for the PJ Foundation, with PJ's sister, Aimee, 15, acting as the Hibs mascot on the day.
Jill Cockburn, PJ's mother, said: "The match day was such an amazing experience and a big milestone for the Foundation. It was filled with a positive atmosphere and Aimee was delighted to mascot the Hibs team, especially as she plays for their under 19s women's team.
"It has given us a great opportunity to reach more people and spread awareness of organ donation and ECHC's work, which are two causes that are really close to our hearts.
"We will always be grateful to ECHC for always putting a smile on our boy's face and filling his long stays at the hospital with fun. He was so fond of everyone there and made lots of good memories.
"Having a big banner with a photo of PJ on a football pitch was a proud moment to the foundation and our family. We even got a photograph with Neil Lennon and Mark Bradley, the Linlithgow Rose manager, which was one of the highlights of the day.
"Both supporters of the Rose and the Hibs have donated generously and their support is greatly appreciated."
PJ spent long periods of time spent at The Royal Hospital for Sick Children (RHSC) in Edinburgh, where he underwent numerous treatments over the years.
Following a sudden deterioration in health in early 2017, PJ's family was told that he would need a quadruple transplant to receive a new liver and an extra kidney, and to enhance his bowel and pancreas.
Despite the best efforts of doctors, PJ's condition didn't improve and he passed away surrounded by family, friends and a new dog he has always dreamed of.
However, PJ's contagious liveliness and joyful attitude live on through the PJ Foundation.
Since it was first established in October last year, the PJ Foundation has already helped to raise over £8,000 through their continuous fundraising efforts.
Just last month, the Foundation gathered donations through activities such as bag packing, taking part in a Kilt Walk and selling merchandise. They also hope to launch a website soon.
PJ's story has also touched the hearts of the Linlithgow community. Linlithgow Primary School, which PJ attended, have already raised over £500 in 1p and 2p coins, while the local Beaver Scouts have gathered £142 by filling Smarties tubes with 20p coins.
Sue Diamond, Community Fundraising Manager at ECHC, said: "The support that the PJ Foundation provides is invaluable and epitomises the spirit and joy PJ brought into the lives of so many.
"We could not be more thankful to his family for their hard work which helps us put a smile of the faces of other young people undergoing treatment."
ECHC provides vital support to the RHSC and to a number of other locations across east central Scotland where children and young people are treated, including St John's Hospital in Livingston.
The funds raised by ECHC not only help to support research in pioneering treatments but also help to fund equipment and activities that improve young people's hospital experiences, so that they can be a child first and a patient second.

Why It's Important to Read Aloud @ Home
Taken from The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease ... A book about teaching children to want to read.
Taken from The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease ... A book about teaching children to want to read.
"The more you read, the better you get at it; the better you get at it, the more you like it; and the more you like it, the more you do it."
"Attention spans are not built overnight—they are built minute by minute, page by page, day by day."
"At age six, you're a beginning reader. […] But you're not a beginning listener. You've been listening for six years; you're a veteran listener!"
"We must take care that children's early encounters with reading are painless enough so they will cheerfully return to the experience now and forever. But if it's repeatedly painful, we will end up creating a school-time reader instead of a lifetime reader."
"Few children learn to love books by themselves. Someone has to lure them into the wonderful world of the written word; someone has to show them the way."
— Orville Prescott
Mrs. Hadsell's Book Review of The Read-Aloud Handbook
"I love this book and highly recommend it to parents and teachers -- regardless of the ages of your children or students. As a parent myself, this was a book that I had a hard time putting down; I read it in a matter of days. I marked it, highlighted it, and took notes in the margins as I worked my way through it. The meat of the book is 10 chapters full of the whys and hows when it comes to helping children become excited readers. But the icing on the cake, so to speak, is the Treasury of Read-Alouds which makes up the final 121 pages of the book. The author has created a starter list (a huge timer saver for parents and teachers) overflowing with book titles that children will enjoy listening to -- the kind of books that are more likely to hook reluctant readers. If you're interested in taking a peek, you can find the book at the Logan Library."
A Sampling of What You Can Find in The Read-Aloud Handbook
- Why should we read out loud to our children? It builds vocabulary, conditions a child's brain to associate reading with pleasure, creates background knowledge, provides a reading role model, and it plants the desire to read.
- Data shows that the one prekindergarten skill that matters above all others is the child's vocabulary. Reading aloud to children increases their vocabulary.
- When is a child old enough to be read out loud to? Jim Trelease says that if they're old enough to talk to, they're old enough to read to. It's the same language.
- Research shows that there are four common factors in the homes of nearly every early reader: 1) The child is read to on a regular basis 2) A wide variety of printed material is in the home 3) Paper and pencil are readily available for the child 4) The family stimulates the child's interest in reading/writing by answering the child's questions, praising the child's efforts, visiting the library frequently, buying books, writing stories that the child dictates, and displaying the child's paperwork in a prominent place in the home.
- Three important things happen when an adult reads to a child: 1) A pleasure connection is being made between the child and the book 2) Both the parent and the child are learning 3) The adult is pouring sounds and syllables into the child's ear.
- Children's books are much richer than ordinary conversation at home or school.
- One-on-one time with a child is the best tool for expanding attention spans.
- Three B's of an inexpensive reading kit: 1) Books (ownership of a book is important—inscribe the child's name inside it) 2) Book basket (keep recreational reading in a prime spot where it will be read often) 3) Bed lamp (most children will do anything in order to stay up later—even read).
- There's a significant difference in listening level (where students can handle higher-level vocabulary words that are read aloud to them) and reading level (the types of books that they can read independently).
- Grammar is more caught than taught. Kids learn it through exposure. "The richer the words you hear, the richer will be the words you give back—in speech or in writing."
- How do we improve writing and spelling skills? "By reading, reading, and reading." Good writers watch how other people throw words around.
- "… the chances of a word (or a sentence) being retained in our memory bank are thirty times greater if we see it instead of just hear it."
- Students who read the widest variety of material, but the most fiction, [have] the highest literacy scores. Fiction engages a larger portion of the brain. It deepens our engagement and helps comprehension.
- Having a discussion after the story is critical, but it doesn't have to last forever.
- "…endurance in readers, like runners, is not built overnight; start slowly and build gradually."
- Use plenty of expression when you read.
- Adjust your pace to fit the story.
- Children should have time to read alone every day.
- Make sure your children see you reading for pleasure.
- Don't read stories that you don't enjoy.
- Don't continue reading a book once it's obvious that it was a poor choice.
- Provide structured time for reading.
- Summer reading is powerful—both reading to a child and reading by a child.
- Encourage students to enroll and participate in summer reading programs at the library.
- Some people fear that forcing/requiring kids to read will kill their love of reading. Take the sting out of the requirement by making it "so appealing and delicious that it becomes a pleasure." Remember: "Pleasure is more often caught than taught."
- Let children read what interests them.
- A child's interest in books skyrockets when: They have books at home, they own a library card, they're taken to the library, and they're read to daily.
- Other factors driving student success: 1) Access to books 2) Personal ownership of books 3) Self-selection of the books.
- Don't force the classics too soon. "The goal is to create a lifetime reader, not a future English teacher."
- Children easily gravitate to "junk" when it comes to reading. "Our job is to lead them eventually to the better books by reading aloud to them." The thing about series books (or the "junk") is that they make a pleasure connection with the child. "Humans seldom do something over and over unless it brings repeated pleasure. Pleasure is the 'glue' that holds us to a particular activity."
- Research shows that reading from the page makes for far greater retention of facts than digital reading.
- ESL/bilingual students can greatly benefit when receiving instruction from educational television that is captioned. Remember, "the chances of a word (or a sentence) being retained in our memory bank are thirty times greater if we see it instead of just hear it."
- Audiobooks, when used to supplement reading, are excellent!
- The list of books in the Treasury (pages 173-294 of The Read-Aloud Handbook) are more likely to hook the reluctant reader.
- "Exposure to great writing can only have a positive effect, especially if the writing is willingly absorbed."
