In May, the Cambridge University Press will release "Great Christian Jurists in English History," edited by Mark Hill (FTB Chambers) and R. H. Helmholz (University of Chicago). The publisher's description follows:
The Great Christian Jurists series comprises a library of national volumes of detailed biographies of leading jurists, judges and practitioners, assessing the impact of their Christian faith on the professional output of the individuals studied. Little has previously been written about the faith of the great judges who framed and developed the English common law over centuries, but this unique volume explores how their beliefs were reflected in their judicial functions. This comparative study, embracing ten centuries of English law, draws some remarkable conclusions as to how Christianity shaped the views of lawyers and judges. Adopting a long historical perspective, this volume also explores the lives of judges whose practice in or conception of law helped to shape the Church, its law or the articulation of its doctrine.
Farrar & Krayem, "Accommodating Muslims under Common Law"

This month, Routledge releases "Accommodating Muslims under Common Law: A Comparative Analysis," by Salim Farrar (University of Sydney) and Ghena Krayem (University of Sydney). The publisher's description follows:
The book explores the relationship between Muslims, the Common Law and Shari'ah post-9/11. The book looks at the accommodation of Shari'ah Law within Western Common Law legal traditions and the role of the judiciary, in particular, in drawing boundaries for secular democratic states with Muslim populations who want resolutions to conflicts that also comply with the dictates of their faith.
Salim Farrar and Ghena Krayem consider the question of recognition of Shari'ah by looking at how the flexibilities that exists in both the Common Law and Shari'ah provide unexplored avenues for navigation and accommodation. The issue is explored in a comparative context across several jurisdictions and case law is examined in the contexts of family law, business and crime from selected jurisdictions with significant Muslim minority populations including: Australia, Canada, England and Wales, and the United States. The book examines how Muslims and the broader community have framed their claims for recognition against a backdrop of terrorism fears, and how Common Law judiciaries have responded within their constitutional and statutory confines and also within the contemporary contexts of demands for equality, neutrality and universal human rights. Acknowledging the inherent pragmatism, flexibility and values of the Common Law, the authors argue that the controversial issue of accommodation of Shari'ah is not necessarily one that requires the establishment of a separate and parallel legal system.
Ford, "Jesus Master of Law"

This January, Xlibris Publishing released "Jesus Master of Law: A Juridical Science of Christianity and the Law of Equity" by Roderick Ford (The Labor Ministry). The publisher's description follows:
Here, Jesus of Nazareth is presented as we have never witnessed him before—as a legal advocate, as a jurist, and as an interpreter of the Law of Moses. This bold book is an original and revolutionary conceptualization of Jesus as not only a profound religious thinker but also as a preeminent legal theorist. Here we find in Jesus's teachings and parables the analytical and moral reasoning, which is the foundation of Anglo-American common law, Western civilization, and modern, worldwide, and secular jurisprudence. Jesus Master of Law reminds us that laws, both secular and sacred, can be applied to achieve justice only when they are interpreted through the proverbial prism of righteous and moral objectives.
Common Law Constitutionalism: The Meaning of Establishment Circa 1800
November 15, 2014 By Marc O. DeGirolami in Commentary, Marc O. DeGirolami Tags: Constitutional History, Establishment Clause, Religion and the Common Law	Leave a comment
In this post, I speculated about the possibility that the meaning of "establishment" might be illuminated by the English experience of the term before the Constitution's drafting. The idea would be to understand "establishment" not by reference to a fixed meaning traceable to the founding, but instead by reference to a general, but not limitless, range of meanings in use as a matter of the common law experience antedating the Constitution. That range might have a core and a periphery, and while the periphery, it is true, might change over time, any changes would be very gradual and always intimately connected with the historical common law meanings of establishment.
Our Center board member, Don Drakeman, helpfully points me to a different kind of common law evidence–uses of the term establishment in state courts after ratification of the Constitution. He argues that a shift was occurring in the meaning of the term during this period: from a narrow meaning limited to what Thomas Curry has called a meaning "modeled on the Anglican establishment in England," to a broader meaning covering the issue of general assessments for funding churches. The former meaning would suggest a "sect preference" approach to the issue of establishment, while the latter would not.
In his book, Church, State, and Original Intent (at pages 216-229), Don describes the different post-First Amendment views in Massachusetts and New Hampshire circa 1800 about the meaning of establishment as expressed in three court cases—Avery v. Tyringham (1807), Barnes v. Falmouth (1810), and Muzzy v. Wilkins (1803).
Tyringham concerned Article III of the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution, the preamble of which at that time stated that "the happiness of a people, and the good order and preservation of civil government, essentially depend upon piety, religion, and morality; and [that] these cannot generally be diffused through a community, but by the institution of the public worship of God, and of public instructions in piety, religion and morality." Based on that rationale, the Massachusetts Constitution goes on to authorize towns "to make suitable provision, at their own expense, for the institution of the public worship of GOD, and for the support and maintenance of public Protestant teachers of piety, religion and morality." But Article III also provided that "no subordination of any one sect or denomination to another shall ever be established by law." The opinion of Justice Theodore Sedgwick (who also served as a member of the First Congress that adopted the Establishment Clause) concluded that in these "strong and energetic" provisions "the religion of Protestant Christianity is established. Liberty of conscience is secured." (emphasis in original) That interpretation suggests that the sort of explicit public support for Protestant Christianity contemplated by the Massachusetts Constitution does constitute an establishment, even though Massachusetts never had an expressly authorized or designated official church establishment.
In a later Massachusetts case, Barnes v. Falmouth (1810), Justice Theophilus Parsons considered whether the minister of an unincorporated church could share in taxes raised under Article III. Justice Parsons wrote that the case provided an occasion to "consider the motives which induced this people to introduce into the constitution a religious establishment, the nature of the establishment introduced, and the rights and privileges it secured to the people, and to their teachers." Here is Don's description of the opinion:
According to Chief Justice Parsons, the rationale for an establishment is based on the fact that "[c]ivil government…availing itself only of its own powers, is extremely defective"; accordingly, "the people of Massachusetts…adopted and patronized a religion, which by its benign and energetic influences, might cooperate with human institutions, to promote and secure the happiness of its citizens." Fortunately, he writes, "the people were not exposed to the hazard of choosing a false and defective religious system. Christianity had long been promulgated, its pretensions and excellences well known, and its divine authority admitted." In particular, "This religion, as understood by Protestants, tending, by its effects, to make every man…a better husband, parent, child, neighbor, citizen, and magistrate, was by the people established as a fundamental and essential part of their constitution." Pointing out that there is "liberty of conscience" for all, "whether Protestant or Catholic, Jew, Mahometan or Pagan, the constitution then provides for the public teaching of the precepts and maxims of the religion of Protestant Christians to all the people." It is, therefore, "the right and duty of all corporate religious societies, to elect and support a public Protestant teacher of piety, religion, and morality." Unincorporated churches could not share in taxes raised under Article III, concluded Parsons; otherwise, which teacher to be supported depends "exclusively on the will of a majority of each society incorporated for these purposes."
221-222. Don argues that Justice Parsons's description of this arrangement as an "establishment" shows that some Massachusetts jurists believed that the town-by-town assessments for Protestant teachers were themselves believed to be establishments. It is an interesting question whether the assessments themselves, or instead the assessments only as part of the general, if unofficial, privileging of Protestant Christianity as the civic religion, is really what Justices Parsons and Sedgwick are describing as an "establishment." The latter possibility might narrow the meaning of establishment somewhat: the privileging of Protestant Christianity by all of the means described by these Justices in the Massachusetts Constitution—including the assessment scheme—comes perhaps closer to the meaning of establishment as "official" privileging than does a meaning which considers assessments favoring religion alone as an establishment.
A third piece of evidence can be found right over the border among some Justices in New Hampshire, where, Don writes, "at about the same time, a distinguished jurist who was a member of the Second through the Fifth Federal Congresses made a point of saying that the Granite State's town-based general assessment tax system for the support of Protestant ministers, which was quite similar to the Massachusetts approach, was clearly not an establishment of religion." 223
The issue arose in the 1803 case of Muzzy v. Wilkins, where Chief Justice Jeremiah Smith "considered whether a Presbyterian was entitled to an exemption from the town taxes in support of the Congregational church under New Hampshire's constitution, which empowered the legislature to authorize the towns of the state to make provision for public protestant teachers of piety, religion, and morality." According to Chief Justice Smith, the assessment system alone did not constitute an establishment: "No one sect is invested with any political power much less with a monopoly of civil privileges and civil offices. All denominations are equally under the protection of the law, are equally the objects of its favor and regard."
Chief Justice Smith's is that rare opinion where a judge actually provides a definition of an "establishment": "A religious establishment is where the State prescribes a formulary of faith and worship for the rule and governance of all the subjects."
This definition, it is true, is narrower than what can be discerned from the general approach in the two Massachusetts decisions. But New Hampshire's state constitution at the time did not (so far as I know) contain the sort of language unofficially, but quite explicitly, privileging Protestant Christianity as was the case in Massachusetts. It might be that it was this general privileging (even if unofficial, and to include, in Massachusetts, state assessments) that was thought by both Massachusetts and New Hampshire jurists to constitute "establishment."
At any rate, it would be worthwhile, as well as interesting, to explore the range of common law meanings of establishment before ratification of the First Amendment as well. As Don says in the book, it would probably be impossible to arrive at a single fixed meaning. But it might well be possible to reach consensus about a general range or spectrum of meanings, with core or uncontested meanings graduating outward toward peripheral or contested ones.
Coke on the Virtues of Obedience to the Common Law
September 24, 2014 By Marc O. DeGirolami in Commentary, Marc O. DeGirolami Tags: Common Law, Religion and the Common Law	Leave a comment
Sir Edward Coke was a lawyer, an MP, Attorney General, and Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas of the King's Bench. He is widely considered one of the fathers of the common law. Here is a fragment of the preface to Part Two of his Reports. I was struck by the terms in which he discusses the common law:
To the learned Reader
There are (sayeth Euripides) three Virtues worthy [of] our meditation; To honor God, our Parents who begat us, and the Common Lawes of Greece: The like doe I say to thee (Gentle Reader) next to thy dutie and pietie to God, and his annointed thy gracious Soveraigne, and thy honor to thy Parents, yeeld due reverence and obedience to the Common Lawes of England: For of all Lawes (I speak of humane) these are most equall, and most certaine, of greatest antiquitie, and least delay, and most beneficiall and easie to be observed; As if the module of a Preface would permit, I could defend against any man that is not malicious without understanding, and make manifest to any of judgement and indifferency, by proofes pregnant and demonstrative, and by Records and Testimonies luculent and irrefragable: Sed sunt quidam fastidiosi, qui nescio quo malo affectu oderunt Artes antequam pernoverunt [MOD trans.: But there are some disdainful types who hate every high calling with which they are unfamiliar, I know not for what reason]. There is no Jewell in the world comparable to learning; No learning so excellent both for Prince and Subject as knowledge of Lawes; and no knowledge of any Lawes, (I speak of humane) so necessary for all estates, and for all causes, concerning goods, lands, or life, as the Common Lawes of England….
Their example [that of the "Sages of the Law"] and thy profession doe require thy imitation: for hitherto I never saw any man of a loose and lawlesse life, attaine to any sound and perfect knowledge of the said lawes: And on the other side, I never saw any many of excellent judgement in these Lawes, but was withall (being taught by such a Master) honest, faithfull, and vertuous.
If you observe any diversities of opinion amongst the professors of the Lawes, contend you (as it behoveth) to be learned in your profession, and you shall finde that it is Hominis vitium, non professionis [MOD trans.: the vice of man, not of the profession].

My understanding is that it's important for women to go into keto gradually and without fasting or eating too little. So my general plan is to 1) start eating breakfast again and 2) eat more carbs for a couple of weeks (for me that's like a sweet potato and two pieces of fruit a day, plus the usual vegetables and nuts). Then I'll start tapering off the fruit and starches and increasing fat over a period of six weeks or so. That gets me well into fall, and I think I'll try to stay keto most of the winter, which seems to me a super-logical form of seasonal eating.
There are several other aspects of this New Life Plan, too, in the back of my mind, but I'm making a conscious effort to keep this simple, which I will attempt to reinforce by not writing about them right now.


What is a macOS empire?
Open Safari on your factory-setup macOS.
Go to your application configurations repository (Dotfiles).
Paste it into your terminal and press enter.
Type your sudo password and sit back.
Have a complete macOS software development environment set up and ready to use.
In this story, I'll explain how building a macOS empire came to me, how I built mine, and how you can build yours.
Why did I decide to build my macOS empire?
It originated from health concerns. My wrists started to hurt a few months ago due to pushing way too many buttons for money and too much mouse usage. I fixed the physical aspect of the problem by sitting properly in my chair and purchasing an ergonomic keyboard, but the mouse usage strain remained. So I decided to eliminate mouse usage as much as I can.
Fish shell, Vim text editor, and Tmux terminal-multiplexor were the solutions I picked for myself. This meant hundreds of shortcuts and configurations I had to tweak and manage. So I put my Fish, Vim and Tmux config files in my configurations repository, also known as Dotfiles.
It wasn't until I was gifted a new MacBook however that I realized there's a whole lot more to setting up a fresh macOS than just having my most frequently used applications config files in my Dotfiles repository. A package manager, all the applications to install with that package manager, system preferences, shortcuts for those applications and more had to be done. I ended up doing so much manual work to set up the gifted MacBook that my inner-automation-child refused the prospect of having to do it again. I decided to automate it. I decided to build a macOS empire and be the Ruler of it.
How did I build my macOS empire?
I asked myself what do I want in a software that would set up my macOS software development environment entirely, and the rest followed smoothly. The wisdom behind that question doesn't deserve to be credited to me, however.
When designing a program, one should first think about how to make an intuitive and powerful program. Implementation issues should only be considered once a user interface has been designed.
Have no dependencies => Should be executable on a fresh macOS.
Require no manual intervention => Apart from initial sudo prompting, "it shouldn't insist on interactive input" as McIlroy puts it.
With those interface requirements in place for the software I was going to write, I created a macOS bootstrapping bash script called setup-mac-os.sh in my Dotfiles repository which printed "Hello World!". macOS comes with bash shell by default so the script will be executable on a fresh macOS. I also updated the README.md with a one-liner command to execute that setup-mac-os.sh bash script. Keeping the no manual intervention in mind, all requirements were fulfilled.
After setting up a virtual macOS High Sierra and taking a snapshot from it, I was ready to implement the steps necessary to setup my macOS one at a time. Throughout this process and while going through almost all repositories featured on dotfiles.github.io , I learned some best practices and some pitfalls to avoid which I'd like to share. Let's begin.
I found several macOS bootstrapping scripts in featured repositories on dotfiles.github.io that were just a blob of code with an attempt to be readable with visual comments. While visual comments are helpful visually, they offer no code modularity and they're difficult to debug. With a function-based approach, you can comment out the steps you'd like to disable quickly, you can test each step individually using a virtual macOS and leveraging snapshots to ensure all steps run without errors, and you can make sense out of what you did both now and in the future. Top-to-bottom approach also increases readability of your script and saves people time when they want to familiarize themselves with what your script actually does.
I promised myself as a 2018-new-year resolution to memorize all the options for grep command-line application. One by one. -a is --text, -bis --byte-offset and so on. Said no one ever.
Do everyone a favor and write command-line application options in full. This makes a visit to the terminal, typing man <APPLICATION>, navigating to the option, and seeing what on earth it does unnecessary if you would be kind to type the options in full. Short-hand options are for running ad-hoc commands. I also write grep -Fxq if I want to find out if a file contains a line in bash, but not when writing a script from which I see a potential of people looking at it and trying to make sense out of it.
"Press RETURN to continue…". Fairly disappointing. If only the Homebrew installer could parse and respect an option, say, --no-prompt, then I wouldn't have had to remove its interactivity myself in a custom homebrew_installer script, which is identical to the original installer with the exception of a single line of code removed. So, don't be afraid to change other people's code to bend it at your will for your scripts, because when using your macOS bootstrapping script, you'll want to be singing "I don't want control, I want to let go" as P!nk puts it; remove the interactivity, so you can sit back and let go.
Think of the steps of your macOS bootstrapping script and determine which ones prevent you from repeatedly executing the bootstrapping script and write those steps in another script. For example, I use some Vim plugins which need to be compiled to work, and the compilation takes around 2 minutes. There's no way I could put them in my bootstrapping script and be able to execute it repeatedly as it takes way too long. Instead, I have an executable function in my shell which compiles those plugins which I need to run once for a fresh macOS or if I update the plugins.
This frequent execution of your bootstrapping script will allow it to evolve slowly and steadily, and prevent it from going out of date, if you commit to it. So, for example, if you save a new configuration file and you want to symlink it, do it in your bootstrapping script and then execute it instead of doing it manually.
Homebrew's installer can install xcode-select without any GUI popping up, i.e. headlessly, which is nice. Quite a few Dotfiles repositories instructing to install xcode-select before installing brew, which is unnecessary given Homebrew's installer ability to do it without interactivity. It'll fall back to GUI installer of xcode-select in case of failure to install it headlessly.
Don't write orchestration logic for all the system-wide packages you would like to install in a bash script. Use a Brewfile and install the packages within it with a simple: brew bundle. This way, you can have a versioned file in your Dotfiles repository and you immediately get all the benefits of git like revert. Combine revert with brew bundle cleanup and you'll always have exactly what you define in your Brewfile installed on your macOS.
Make a conscious decision about your primary shell. I had been using bash since it was the default on macOS anyway. I switched to zsh and it blew me away, I was suddenly a lot more productive. I switched to fish after a year of zsh and I couldn't believe I could be blown away again, but I was wrong. Going through the features of these different shells is outside the scope of this story, but do your own research and choose one. I recommend fish.
Configurations are personal. They're meant to be tweaked to supreme levels. Think twice before forking someone else's Dotfiles repository and using it for yourself. Remember that applications evolve and so their default options. The tweaks someone has done for their Tmux two years ago could as well be the default for Tmux in its latest version today or have been removed entirely. Use your own configuration files, get inspired by other people's Dotfilesrepositories, understand them, copy them for yourself, and tweak them if necessary.
Keep an executable function handy that updates "everything". You get to decide what to update, but a good starting point would be all software updates from the App Store and all installed packages using brew.
How could you build your own macOS empire?
Create your own Dotfiles repository, if you don't have one yet.
Write a one-liner command in its README.md to execute a macOS bootstrapper bash script.
Save your application configuration files in your repository.
Incrementally implement the steps in your bootstrapper bash script that you need in order to setup your macOS environment for software development.
Keep the best practices discussed here in mind.

What is APO at U of M like?
We are a co-educational, community service fraternity with approximately 300 members. The three pillars of our fraternity are leadership, friendship and service (you can find detailed examples of the opportunities offered underneath each pillar below!) and we strive to have diversity amongst our members in terms of majors, professional interests and social identities. Involvement varies among our members; for many members APO becomes their largest focus outside of academics as they take on various leadership roles in our chapter. For many others, APO is one of several organizations they belong to. Both "types" of members are appreciated assets to APO; we allow and encourage you to tailor the level and nature of your involvement to your interests!
APO provides abundant possibilities to develop leadership skills and experience that serves our members during their college and professional careers.
In order to foster a friendly and fun atmosphere in our chapter, we host approximately 5 fellowships, per week, in order to offer a wide variety of events so everyone can find something they truly enjoy!
As a community service organization, we offer a wide array of opportunities to participate in types of service you are passionate about. Our chapter has in fact had several semesters in which we have all together completed over 10,000 hours of service!
Our chapter has approximately 100 different chair positions; these positions range from running specific service projects and fellowships, or various aspects of our chapter like Public Relations, Pledge Planning, Risk Management, Design (for our apparel), or Fundraising.
As part of a national organization, our chapter attends regional, sectional, and national conferences that offer our members chances to network with members of other chapters and attend expert-led workshops.
Each semester about 50 members attend a retreat at a campground in Michigan to bond, participate in group development activities, and complete a service project for the camp.
We collaborate with other campus organizations to offer workshops on various topics such as conflict resolution, CPR/first aid training, and social identity sensitivity training.
A competition between The University of Michigan and Ohio State University to see which school can donate more pints of blood in the month of November. Our volunteers organize and staff dozens of drives.
APO does multiple service projects with Alpha House. It is a homeless shelter for families with children. APO volunteers cook breakfasts, dinners, and babysit the kids for an hour.
APO volunteers knit scarves, hats and gloves that are donated to a homeless shelter! The group meets weekly and provides a great bonding activity as well.
This project is an opportunity for children with physical, cognitive, communication and/or behavioral impairments to participate in modified gymnastic activities and enhance socialization skills! Each volunteer is paired with one of the kids for the night.
like Dance Marathon and Relay For Life, that raise money for great causes.
Brothers provide a safe ride home on the weekends that runs from 11PM to 2:30AM. APO volunteers pick up and drop off other brothers at their desired locations.
A semester long commitment to tutor local children in academic areas they need additional help with.
APO helps organize medical supplies at a warehouse and package them up to be sent abroad to areas in need of medical assistance.
APO has a non-competitive rush process: this means that as long as you complete our requirements, everyone is accepted into our fraternity. Early in the semester we will have several non-mandatory rush events to help you see if APO is a good fit for you; after rush week you will be able to choose whether you'd like to sign up to become a pledge. In addition to Rush events, we will be present at Festifall and Northfest and also have a Mass Meeting open to anyone who'd like to attend. If you have questions about working with our organization, please email our President, Katherine Troutman, at kmtrout@umich.edu. If you have questions about the rush process or being a member, you can email Jordan Schebil, our Vice President of Membership, at jschebil@umich.edu. If you have questions about what the pledge semester will entail you can email Claudia Kassouf, our Vice President of New Members, at ckassouf@umich.edu.

A snowboarding pioneer, Bud was introduced to snowboarding in February 1984, and had to hike all the way up the mountain for his runs down in Stowe, Vermont when snowboarding was not allowed on the lifts. He was constantly chased by police and resort security, and harassed by ski patrol. His first snowboard was a Burton Woody Performer with no edges, aluminum fins, a wooden base, and no high-backs. Moving to California in 1985 and meeting Tom Sims, he became one of the first snowboard instructors in the USA at Soda Springs and Boreal Ridge on Donner Summit, and raced in the Mt. Baker Banked Slalom that year. He moved back to Vermont to become one of the first instructors at Stowe when it opened to riding in 1987, and joined the Professional Ski Instructors of America that year. Bud became a PSIA snowboard examiner in 1989, and traveled to Copper Mountain, CO that winter to participate in the writing of the first-ever PSIA snowboard instruction manual. After competing professionally as a sponsored rider, first for Sims and then for Burton snowboards from 1985-1989, he became the full-time snowboard coach for the Mount Mansfield Ski and Snowboard Club in Stowe.
From 1989-2002 Keene built the MMSC snowboard program from the ground up, producing many champions, including some of the most prominent racers and influential freestyle snowboarders in the world over the last 2 decades. Jake Blauvelt, Kyle Clancy, Travis Kennedy, Jesse Huffman, Zach Leach, Thomas Obrien, John Percy and Colin Langlois are just a few of the riders that Bud coached and mentored while based in Stowe. Many, many more that Bud worked with during that time have gone on to successful careers in snowboarding both as athletes and in the industry.
Based on Bud's successes he was invited to join the coaching staff of the U.S. Snowboarding Halfpipe Team as an assistant at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City where the US Team swept Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for the men and took Gold for the women. Following the Games he accepted a full-time position, serving as the US Snowboard Team assistant halfpipe coach for 9 months, before being promoted to head halfpipe coach in 2003. Coaching the team full-time from 2003-2006, Keene then led the 2006 Olympic Halfpipe Team to an even more dominating performance in Torino; his small 8-rider contingent all making it to the finals, and taking home 2 Gold medals, 2 Silver medals, 2 fourth places, a sixth and a twelfth.
Following the 2006 Games, Keene was named the 2006 U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association's International Snowboard Coach of the Year, as well as the USSA's 2006 Overall Coach of the Year. That Spring, in a ceremony in Washington D.C. the United States Olympic Committee awarded Keene it's highest coaching honor, naming him it's 2006 National Coach of the Year.
From 2010-2012 Keene designed and led a performance program for the Vitamin Water Snow Team, coaching Kaitlyn Farrington, Gus Kenworthy, Kyle Mack, and JJ Thomas. At the 2014 Olympics, due in part to the progression that they realized during the Vitamin Water camps, Kaitlyn won the gold for women's snowboard halfpipe, and Gus won the silver medal for Men's ski slopestyle. During that same time period Bud coached Louie Vito, leading Vito to his first-ever medal at the X Games (bronze in Aspen) as well as his first-ever X Games win, with Vito taking gold at European X Games in Tignes France. Keene is widely regarded as the most successful, knowledgeable, and decorated snowboard coach in the history of the sport.
A pioneering outdoorsman as well, Bud rode his bicycle from California to Vermont in early 1986. Then, moving to Yosemite National Park to work and climb, he climbed a multi-day route on the sheer face of El Capitan before establishing dozens of new rock and mixed climbing routes on unclimbed rock faces in Yosemite National Park and elsewhere between 1986 and 1992. Bud also made many first snowboard descents in North and South America, and in 1988 became the first person to snowboard from the summit of Cotopaxi in Ecuador, at 19,701 feet the highest active volcano in the world. Then, in 1986 he and friends climbed and snowboarded down from over 22,000 feet on the highest peak in the Andes, Mt. Aconcagua in Argentina, setting a new world record for the highest altitude ever snowboarded down from. Keene also served as the assistant navigator for Ned Gillette's 1986 Voyage to Antarctica, an expedition during which the crew of 4 attempted to be the first to row a boat 605 miles from Cape Horn to Antarctica across the worst seas in the world, the Drake Passage.
Bud and his wife Alexandra still reside in the Stowe, Vermont area, and Bud continues to snowboard, travel, climb, play golf, write, speak, garden and coach.

If you know even a little bit about SEO then you would've probably heard the words 'backlink' or 'link-building' tossed around. You may not know what backlinks are but all you know is that they help SEO and to your dismay, you fear that your competitors may be leaving you behind in this arena. Well if you fall under this category then look no further because we've created a simple guide for the backlink beginners, why they matter and where your business stands compared to your competitors.
1. What is a 'backlink'?
So, you want to get your pages to rank higher than your competitors and know just as much about link building as I do about 'Dad jokes'. Well the first thing you should know is that a backlink is a hyper-link to your website placed somewhere (on any page) on another website.
If you're running a specific campaign and want to monitor the traffic coming to your website, then you could generate a UTM link using a UTM generator. This new URL can be tracked to understand what kind of traffic you are receiving from this specific link.
2. Why do backlinks matter?
Search engines (take Google for example) will prioritise sites with a good quantity of these hyperlinks linking to them from other pages. Think of it like a 'shout-out'. The more shout-outs you get from other sites, the more reputed Google will think your website is. And your goal – to get more shout-outs than your competitors because the more backlinks you have – the higher you move up the search result pages. Why do you want this? Greater exposure than your competitors.
This link can be the homepage (e.g. www.indagodigital.com.au) or a deeper link (https://indagodigital.com.au/about-us/). The deeper the backlink is the more credit the search engine will give your website.
As you can see, link building is a major influencer for your website ranking and can therefore mean the very difference in your page either showing up on the first page of an organic search results or as far back as the hundredth.
3. Who are these 'competitors' you speak of?
Whatever industry your brand resides in – it's important to understand that you will be competing with other businesses who offer the same service as you. And while the endgame is beating your competitors' backlink acquisition numbers, before you can beat them you need to identify them and what their position is.
This is done by generating a simple share of voice report of your industry. What is a share of voice? Just another piece of digital marketing jargon? Not exactly, a share of voice (SoV) is the representation of your brand's visibility for one or more keywords in comparison to other websites in the same industry. In other words, a SoV report will show you who ranks for how many keywords in which industry.
The share of voice report will display a lot of other sites so may need to cull the non-competing sites. This can be done by removing any non-commercial (Wikipedia), editorial (New York Times), or social communities and review sites (Trip Advisor). The remaining results should be a list of sites offering identical services as your business.
4. So… where do I stand?
A SoV report will allow you to highlight the top nine industry players in terms of online brand visibility. Your goal is to have a higher SoV% than your competitors by ranking for more keywords than them.
The image below highlights how a SoV may seem for the Australian finance industry. For demonstrative purposes of a SoV report, the green and red figures highlight the SERP's visibility change over the four-month period.
Share of voice is a whole chapter in itself and rather than go off-track, have a read of this expert guide in your spare time. With all this information at hand, you should now know where you stand amongst your competitors. If you wish to increase your SoV then here's a guide on how to spy on your competitor's backlink strategy to build your own.

Free tampons are a necessity, not a luxury

Access to feminine care products is very limited on USC's campus. Though they are available in the Engemann Student Health Center, even basic 25-cent tampon dispensers are missing from most women's restrooms. Though the school has implemented many different programs to relieve students' stress and increase their comfort, providing free feminine care products in restrooms is a necessary next step that the school needs to take. Despite being hailed as a luxury item by many state legislatures and taxed in 45 states, tampons and other feminine care items are a part of women's basic needs. It is imperative that USC begins to offer free tampons and pads in restrooms across campus to increase accessibility and dispel the taboo surrounding feminine healthcare products. Precisely because this sort of program has been successfully implemented at many universities, including Brown and Emory, USC must adopt a similar policy.
Providing free pads and tampons in restrooms is necessary to improve and maintain women's health on campus. Imagine what would happen if universities stopped providing free toilet paper or soap in restrooms — there would be a public uproar because it would affect students' well-being and basic sanitary needs. Tampons and pads should be no different. Getting your period and not having any supplies on hand is frustrating and stressful. Additionally, pads and tampons, as necessary as they are, are incredibly expensive. It is estimated that women spend about $18,000 on tampons and other menstrual items during their lifetimes. Most states also impose a tax on tampons, treating them as a luxury item instead of a necessity, making the price even higher. At the end of the day, periods are unavoidable. If the University were to provide tampons for free in restrooms, it would be a major financial and stress relief for many students.
Increasing access to menstruation items and making them commonplace in restrooms across campus will allow for more discussions about this taboo topic to take place and hopefully remove some of the stigma surrounding menstruation. Menstruation has been a taboo topic as far back as the first century, and tampon and pad companies focus their advertisements on how their products are the most discreet and unnoticeable. Because of this, periods are still shrouded in mystery, usually only discussed by women in whispers. The shame that women feel about their periods is absolutely ridiculous. Having a regular period is a sign of a healthy, functioning body. It is imperative that both men and women be educated on menstruation and that the negative stereotypes associated with periods are removed. Just last year, rapper T.I made headlines when he said he would not vote for a female president because "women make rash decisions emotionally." Additionally, despite affecting roughly half the population, there is a lack of scientific articles on periods, and the ones that exist focus on how periods make women emotionally unstable. It is clear that society still has very backwards beliefs about menstruation. Allowing for discussions about menstruation on campus and beginning to normalize periods may slowly change these sexist and harmful attitudes, and this change can be started by treating feminine care products similarly to toilet paper.
There are some concerns about programs like this that have kept them from being implemented at other universities. During a general assembly meeting at Cornell University, many students were opposed to a free tampon program because they feared that the program could be abused. Though this is a valid point, the same is true of any free resource provided by a school. For example, students who will never benefit from tampon dispensers, like biologically male students, may need to subsidize their cost. However, that possibility does not outweigh the value that such free resources have to those who use them fairly. Providing these supplies can help increase productivity, make students feel more comfortable and is an easy way to help improve women's health and sanitation. If the school can afford to put condoms on every floor of every residence hall and in the health center, a small portion of the $1.4 million student health services budget can certainly be allocated toward improving women's well-being. The overall benefits of providing free tampons and pads in restrooms exceeds the small cost that may be incurred to students.
Our University is always looking for new ways to make students happier and healthier on campus. Free concerts and luxurious gyms are much appreciated, but a simple way to make life easier for half the student body would be to stock tampons and pads in restrooms. It's time to become more educated and realize that periods are normal and healthy, and perhaps more importantly, something that can be discussed freely. Hopefully in coming years, finding college restrooms stocked with these supplies will become the norm, and society's unnecessary stigma surrounding periods will end. Until then, it is imperative that the student body continue to fight for women's health and start a positive shift in their attitude toward menstruation and women's health in general.

Rob Vance says:
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Nor free tampons.
Someone got paid to make them. So the question is who pays for that and how?
If you want me to pay for something you use, which is what is implied here, the answer is no.
I'm paying for my daughter's tampons now, and for her USC education.
That's quite enough. Isn't your tuition high enough already?
Arafat says:
Free tampons? I did not know tampons cost nothing. Sounds like free healthcare to me.

CARLSBAD, Calif. & SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2018-- Thermo Fisher Scientific and Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) today announced they have signed a commercial agreement that enables Illumina to sell Ion AmpliSeq technology to researchers who conduct scientific studies on Illumina's next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms. The best-in-class amplicon technology is highly effective in capturing DNA and RNA from minute amounts of samples for application in multiple areas of research.
Under the agreement, Thermo Fisher will provide Illumina with Ion AmpliSeq technology for research use. Illumina will sell the product directly to its customers under the name AmpliSeq for Illumina. Thermo Fisher will continue to sell Ion AmpliSeq chemistry for both IVD and RUO applications to Ion Torrent NGS customers, and retains the right to make the technology available on other next-generation sequencing platforms.
The agreement enables Illumina customers to utilize targeted resequencing as a follow-up to larger-scale exome and whole genome discovery studies. Ultimately, the agreement supports both organizations' commitment to drive scientific advancement in human disease research by providing complete NGS workflow solutions.
Introduced to the market in 2011, Ion AmpliSeq technology was developed to facilitate amplicon sequencing on the Ion Torrent NGS systems. The technology leverages highly multiplexed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to quickly and easily capture DNA or RNA targets from very limited samples. It has since proven to be a highly desired and effective NGS amplicon sequencing solution for its ease-of-use, scalability, efficient workflow and ability to provide trusted data in multiple NGS research application areas. To date, more than 1,100 Ion AmpliSeq technology studies have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

The days of the steno pools, where typists gathered and labored over clickety-clack typewriters, are long gone. There's no need for them because these days most people are pretty decent typists, yet some people are more than decent at typing.
However, there is still a great need for typists to turn audio recordings into text files, as well as other kinds of typing jobs. And thanks to the internet, it really doesn't matter where the typist is.
Find out what kinds of typing jobs are out there and what kind of skills you need to land one.
This is the simplest of all the typing jobs. It doesn't take much experience to break into it, but it pays the least too. This can be a good place to start if you want to sharpen your skills and get some experience. Investigate opportunities with work-at-home data entry companies.
A word of caution: If you want to try your hand at data entry, beware of scams. Often work-at-home scams can be dressed up to look like data entry jobs, so be familiar with data entry scams.
Wondering if your typing is fast enough for any of these online typing jobs? Take one of these online typing tests.
So-called "general" transcription actually encompasses a lot of different types of specialized transcription and requires typists with varying levels of skills and types of equipment. The basic definition of transcription is to type spoken audio recording, such as dictation, lectures, conference calls, phone messages, workshops, interviews, speeches, podcasts, videos, webinars, etc.
There are specializations within general transcription. Legal transcription requires experience and familiarity with legal terms and procedures. Financial/corporate transcription requires that the typist have a certain level of knowledge of the terminology of the particular industry; you may also have to be familiar with earnings reports, annual meetings, press conferences, interim results, and analyst reports in a variety of sectors.
Neither of these typically require certifications. Often the more specialized typing will be done in an office, rather than from home, but once you have experience, it is often possible to transition to telecommuting. Opportunities abound involving home transcription jobs.
Unlike the specializations within general transcription, medical transcription does require special post-secondary training and certification—either a 1-year certificate program or 2-year associate's degree. A medical transcriptionist transcribes a physician or medical practitioner's dictation, which are then added to the patient's medical record.
Captioning is a bit different from most home-based transcription work, because instead of working off recorded audio, the real-time captioner types live video. It requires very fast typing speeds, accuracy, and specialized stenography equipment. Only the most experienced typist can transition to real-time transcription.
However, there is also caption work for typing captions for recorded video, called offline captioning. In offline captioning, the audio of a recorded video is transcribed and added as captions in the post-production process. Less speed and experience is required for this than real-time, but you need some transcription experience to become a captioner. Additionally, offline captioners need training and experience in placing the caption within the correct timing of the video. Both offline and real-time captioning can be done from home.
If you're contemplating home-based work, consider working at home in captioning.
