What is the Modus Vivendi Society?
Modus Vivendi = "Way of Life" in Latin. The phrase signifies an arrangement that helps people work together in relative harmony even if they have opposing views or do not agree with each other.
Members of the Modus Vivendi Society have participated in at least one of our three overnight programs, one offered per quarter. Each overnight program is an interactive, energizing, and unique experience that will help you build leadership skills, engage in meaningful conversations with other UChicago students, and become an advocate for positive change. No activity is the same, so we encourage you to attend more than once!
Any UChicago student, regardless of program or year, can apply for each overnight program. We encourage people of all genders, religious practices, races, etc. to participate. We look for participants who show a willingness to explore their personal values, an openness to engage in difficult conversations, and who express a desire to make positive change.
Overnight programs are offered at no cost to attendees* and include transportation off campus to our overnight location, accommodations, and meals.
*To ensure commitment, participants are required to pay a $50 REFUNDABLE deposit. All deposits will be returned / refunded immediately after the program to all students who attend. If the deposit creates a substantial burden please indicate that on the application - this will not impact your chances of being invited to attend.
Connect with people you may not otherwise interact with - from a wide range of programs, houses, RSOs, and more!
Applications for the Expedition are now open! You can apply here until January 10 at 11:59pm.
Modus Vivendi was designed to have students first attend the winter Expedition, then the spring Retreat, and finish with the autumn Conclave. While the program is designed in this progression, it is not required to participate in this order or participate in more than one program. We encourage all students to attend in whichever quarter they are able.
Separate applications must be submitted for each Modus Vivendi Society overnight program since admittance into one program does not guarantee a spot in subsequent programs. Information about application deadlines can be found on the individual program pages on the left.
Society members are advocates for civil discourse and meaningful dialogue. With support from their small group leaders, members are expected to carry out the personal action plan developed at our programs, demonstrate integrity, and act as leaders of positive change. Beyond attendance at one of the overnight programs, there are not ongoing tangible expectations of Society members. Although each program is different, there is no requirement to attend more than one. There is also an opportunity for current Society members to attend more programs by serving in the role of peer facilitator.
A list of current Modus Vivendi Society members can be viewed HERE.

Author: John Keay
Publisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
The British historian and author of Into India delivers "a history that is intelligent, incisive, and eminently readable" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Fully revised with forty thousand new words that take the reader up to present-day India, John Keay's India: A History spans five millennia in a sweeping narrative that tells the story of the peoples of the subcontinent, from their ancient beginnings in the valley of the Indus to the events in the region today. In charting the evolution of the rich tapestry of cultures, religions, and peoples that comprise the modern nations of Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, Keay weaves together insights from a variety of scholarly fields to create a rich historical narrative. Wide-ranging and authoritative, India: A History is a compelling epic portrait of one of the world's oldest and most richly diverse civilizations. "Keay's panoramic vision and multidisciplinary approach serves the function of all great historical writing. It illuminates the present." —Thrity Umrigar, The Boston Globe

24 Akbar Road Revised And Updated
Author: Rasheed Kidwai
Now updated with a new chapter on Rahul Gandhi The Congress party has always stayed one step ahead of the opposition by constantly reinventing and re-aligning itself to stay in sync with the political realities of the day. Its president, Sonia Gandhi, pulled off a master-coup in 2004 by declining the prime-ministership, while the incumbent Congress Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh is the first prime minister since Nehru to lead the party into two Union government terms. In 2013, Rahul Gandhi was elevated to the post of Congress vice-president amid much fanfare and optimism. Tasked with reviving the grand old party, the young politician remains, in the minds of many, the best hope to lead the Congress into the next century, marking a new moment in the Congress's concept of 'continuity with change'. In his bestselling book 24 Akbar Road, seasoned journalist and veteran Congress watcher Rasheed Kidwai puts together an incisive and engaging account of the Congress's shape-shifting nature and its tenuous hold at the Centre, providing a dispassionate observer's glance at affairs within the Congress. Kidwai brilliantly tracks the story of the contemporary Congress in the years after the Emergency, using the Congress seat of power at 24 Akbar Road as his vantage to draw a compelling account of the Congress leadership from Indira, Sanjay and Rajiv Gandhi to Narasimha Rao and Sitaram Kesri, to the present- day trinity of Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh and Rahul Gandhi. In this revised and updated edition, Kidwai analyses Rahul Gandhi's appointment to assess what the Congress needs to do to remain India's nerve of power in the coming years, and whether the new vice- president can rally the party to a third consecutive victory at the Centre.'

Centred around clearly expressed and well argued topics, issues and explanations, A History of India remains the ideal introduction for all those who wish to understand the drama and vitality of India's past, its present situation and its future challenges.
India After Gandhi Revised And Updated Edition
Author: Ramachandra Guha
Publisher: Ecco
From one of the subcontinent's most important and controversial writers comes this definitive history of post-Partition India, published on the 60th anniversary of Independence Told in lucid and beautiful prose, the story of India's wild ride toward and since Independence is a riveting one. Taking full advantage of the dramatic details of the protests and conflicts that helped shape the nation, politically, socially, and economically, Guha writes of the factors and processes that have kept the country together, and kept it democratic, defying the numerous prophets of doom. Moving between history and biography, this story provides fresh insights into the lives and public careers of those legendary and long-serving Prime Ministers, Jawaharlal Nehru and his daughter, Indira Gandhi. Guha includes vivid sketches of the major "provincial" leaders, but also writes with feeling and sensitivity about lesser-known Indians--peasants, tribals, women, workers, and Untouchables. Massively researched and elegantly written, this is the work of a major scholar at the height of his powers, a brilliant and definitive history of what is possibly the most important, occasionally the most exasperating, and certainly the most interesting country in the world.

The Oxford Handbook Of Sports History
Author: Robert Edelman
Orwell was wrong. Sports are not "war without the shooting", nor are they "war by other means." To be sure sports have generated animosity throughout human history, but they also require rules to which the participants agree to abide before the contest. Among other things, those rules are supposed to limit violence, even death. More than anything else, sports have been a significant part of a historical "civilizing process." They are the opposite of war. As the historical profession has taken its cultural turn over the last few decades, scholars have turned their attention to subject once seen as marginal. As researchers have come to understand the centrality of the human body in human history, they have come to study this most corporeal of human activities. Taking early cues from physical educators and kinesiologists, historians have been exploring sports in all their forms in order to help us answer the most fundamental questions to which scholars have devoted their lives. We have now seen a veritable explosion excellent work on this subject, just as sports have assumed an even greater share of a globalizing world's cultural, political and economic space. Practiced by millions and watched by billions, sports provide an enormous share of content on the Internet. This volume combines the efforts of sports historians with essays by historians whose careers have been devoted to more traditional topics. We want to show how sports have evolved from ancient societies to the world we inhabit today. Our goal is to introduce those from outside this sub-field to this burgeoning body of scholarship. At the same time, we hope here to show those who may want to study sport with rigor and nuance how to embark on a rewarding journey and tackle profound matters that have affected and will affect all of humankind.

MCL New Build
The Macmillan Unit provides palliative care for hundreds of terminally ill patients. Our current building is very old and unable to support the vital work delivered by our staff and volunteers. Our new building will make a huge difference to our patients and their families through end of life care.
Approxmately one year
Charity information: Macmillan Caring Locally
Our current unit is too small and does not have the capacity to provide adequate care for the growing number of patients referred. There is a lack of privacy, difficulty in reaching facilities for treatment and not enough space for the unit to function as effectively as it could. This means that patients have to be transported to other parts of the hospital for treatment and sensitive conversations sometimes need to be held in areas that are too open. Referral numbers also continue to grow.
The new building will mean that patients have all the facilities they need to support them through end of life. Patients and their families will have more privacy and we aim to provide a building that is relaxing, welcoming, peaceful and not like a hospital. In turn, our staff will be able to deliver the high standard of care they already provide but with the space and facilities they need. Our building will be state-of-the-art and the cornerstone for the future of palliative care in our area.
Improve our high level of care to terminally ill patients and their families and carers.
» Build a new unit that has the capacity for equipment and space required for treatment and care.
By delivering all elements of support to our patients under one roof ensuring better patient comfort and less transportation.
Continue to accept the growing number of referrals to our unit.
» Design the building in order to accommodate the growing number of patients referred for now and into the future.
Building a unit that has a greater capacity for patients and for the various pieces of equipment each patient requires for different illnesses.
Support our staff and volunteers in their work.
» Provide space within the new building for staff to work without distraction and provide patients with all the support they require.
Provide office space and private rooms for staff to work and deliver the service to patients.
The building will provide a much improved service to patients and their families - the standard of care currently delivered by our staff and volunteers is exceptional but the support for this work is limiting. It will give patients, families and carers a place to go where they can relax and feel at ease, away from the hospital environment. The building will also allow for a much better working environment for staff and volunteers.
A lack of funding. We have a campaign plan in place and an increase in fundraising staff to manage this risk.
Reports through project updates, opportunities to visit the unit and honouring other individual report requirements
Budget - Project Cost: £9,000,000
£9,000,000 Complete new build Building including furniture, equipment, garden and facilities
Macmillan Caring Locally reserves £5,000,000 Guaranteed
The building will be on the site of Christchurch Hospital in Dorset and will support many people in the surrounding area.
There were 1543 referrals in 2016 - a rise from 581 in 2006. Our patients, their families, carers and visitors, our staff and volunteers will all benefit very much from this project.
We deliver a vital palliative care service in our area and have been awarded 'Practice Development Status' making it a Centre of Excellence for Palliative Care. The new building will be designed around our patient's needs and will support the fantastic level of care delivered by our staff and volunteers.
Lin Sharp
Capital Appeal Director
Staff who provide support or a direct service to our patients . All staff are committed to the success of this building for the future of our care.
All our volunteers are dedicated to the work they do at Macmillan Caring Locally and are wholeheartedly supporting our plans for the new building.
Our trustees are supporting our building plan and ensuring that all elements of the build are completed with patients, staff and volunteers in mind.
Yours is a wonderful job – very demanding and often sad, but very necessary and hugely appreciated. Your dedication is humbling and your professionalism is impeccable.
Patient carer
You turned "approaching death" into a less frightening prospect, and when it happened, into a positive experience.
Patient family member
To all of Dad's Angels at the Macmillan Unit who looked after him so well – thank you.

Boating Safety Tips to Avoid Hiring a Miami Personal Injury Attorney | Graham Legal, P.A.
Boating is quite popular this time of year in Miami, as it's a great way to spend time with family and friends. If you plan on taking out your boat or going on someone else's, you want to make sure that you do your best to avoid any accidents or injuries that could put you in need of a Miami personal injury attorney. Below are a few ways that you can ensure that your next boating trip is a safe one.
Operator inattention is the most common cause of boating accidents. This includes collisions with both other recreational vehicles and stationary objects. You will want to make sure that whomever is at the helm of your vessel is paying close attention to other boats in the area, as well as logs or rocks above and below the surface. Maintaining a safe speed and a keen eye can do wonders for ensuring that your boat and its passengers make it back safely.
If you are planning on entering the water during your boating trip, you will want to make sure that you have the proper floatation devices on hand. Wearing a life jacket might feel a bit uncomfortable, but it is the number one way to save a life in the event of a fall overboard. Also, be sure to keep flares and rescue lights in the cabin in the event that someone becomes lost.
Another common factor when it comes to boating accidents is alcohol. Luckily, this is also something that is very easy to control. Under no circumstance should the boat operator be consuming alcohol, so decide on a designated driver before leaving shore. If alcohol is available for the passengers, make sure that everyone remains under the alcohol limit, stays hydrated and is well fed.
At Graham Legal, we're here to help, but we believe that accident prevention is the best place to start. Sign up to our newsletter to received similar articles and more safety tips directly to your inbox.

Album So Good
I Can't Fall in Love Without You Lyrics
I feel so happy
Happy that I'm free
And I can see things
Things I couldn't see
I can be out every night (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
No one else holdin' me down (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can do just what I like (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But I can't fall in love without you
I can't fall in love without you
Please, don't fall in love without me
I hope you're sorry
Can't find the words to say
Hope you're always worried
Worryin' 'bout me
Don't you think I give a fuck? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Give a fuck 'bout who you fuck? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But I hope you can't get it up (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Cause I can't fall in love without you
(Ooh, ooh)
So please, don't fall in love without me

Wrinkled skin is a natural part of the aging process. The condition is exacerbated by sun exposure, stress, smoking and other factors.
The natural aging process generally produces lines and wrinkles.
Previously unnoticeable features, such as scars, can become more apparent as wrinkles form around them.
Sun damage compounds the wrinkling process. Ultraviolet light from the sun penetrates all the layers of skin, including those that fortify it and lend it resilience.
Anti-aging creams and topical products only treat the milder symptoms of wrinkled skin, such as damage to the skin's uppermost layers.
How often will I need to receive treatment to remove my wrinkles?
Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing and seek shade when outdoors.
Pat dry after bathing to allow some moisture to remain in your skin.
Moisturize dry skin with a product that fits your skin type.
Eat a healthy diet including plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein.
Take steps to avoid excessive stress by exercising, meditating or other forms of relaxing.
Go outdoors without sun protection.
Give in to the temptation of tanning.
Take long hot showers or baths, which remove essential oils from the skin.
Come in contact with strong chemicals or toxins.

Planetary Cymatic Resonance is a project based on tunings calculated from natural frequencies found in our universe like the movement of planets (planet tones – Cosmic Octave) or the resonances of molecules. Devoted to well-being and the resonant recalibration of people to their sonar origin, they create a symbiosis between the sound of acoustic and synthesized instruments. P-C-R's music is a synthesis between musical expression, scientific calculation, modern technology and ancient wisdom.

Mouthrinse: Worth the Extra Money?
Most bathroom counters have sorted dental hygiene products ranging from a simple "hand operated" toothbrush with complementary toothpaste to floss, tongue scrapers, power brushes, and mouth rinses. These products are necessary to remove bacteria from tooth surfaces to prevent the buildup of plaque and a biofilm, which can turn into tarter and calculus. This material can also inflame the gums (gingivitis) and ultimately lead to periodontal disease as well as bad breath (more harmful to your relationship than your health). Although plaque and bacteria can be removed with mechanical action, there are areas in the mouth that can not be easily cleaned: like between the teeth, between the teeth and gums, and other hard to reach places. This is where the other hygiene products come into play: floss for between the teeth and between the teeth and gums, and mouthrinse for all areas. Mouthrinse works differently and compliments mechanical action. Most mouthrinses contain an active chemical but others are cosmetic, which do not reduce plaque or gingivitis but freshen the breath. Active ingredients that help to reduce plaque and gingivitis include amine alcohols, a mixture of essential oils, and quarternary ammonium compounds. Used in conjuction with brushing and flossing these rinses can have a significant effect. However, mouthrinse alone is insufficient to maintain healthy teeth and gums. If you have recently been to the dentist and been diagnosed with gingivitis or deep pockets, ask about recommended mouthrinses. If you have a more severe condition like periodontal disease, then it is possible that a medicated mouthrinse will be prescribed. In conclusion, mouthrinse compliments but is not a substitute for regular brushing and flossing. If you have questions about specific brands, then ask your dentist which ones he or she recommends.

Top 10 Bill Bryson's science quotes
1. It isn't easy to become a fossil
"It isn't easy to become a fossil… Only about one bone in a billion, it is thought, becomes fossilized. If that is so, it means that the complete fossil legacy of all the Americans alive today - that's 270 million people with 206 bones each - will only be about 50 bones, one-quarter of a complete skeleton. That's not to say, of course, that any of these bones will ever actually be found. Bearing in mind that they can be buried anywhere within an area of slighly over 9.3 million square kilometres, little of which will ever be turned over, much less examined, it would be something of a miracle if they ever were"
2. There is more life under the Earth than on top of it
"We now know that there are a lot of microbes living deep within the Earth… Some scientist now think that there could be as 100 trillion tons of bacteria living beneath our feet in what are known as subsurface lithoautotrophic microbial ecosystems… Thomas Gold of Cornell has estimated that if you took all the bacteria out of the Earth's interior and dumped it on the surface, it would cover the planet to a depth of five feet. If the estimates are correct, there could be more life under the Earth than on top of it."
3. The most striking thing about our atmosphere
"The most striking thing about our atmosphere is that there isn't very much of it. It extends upward for about 120 miles, which might seem reasonably bounteous when viewed from ground level, but if you shrank the Earth to the size of a standard desktop globe it would only be about the thickness of a couple of coats of varnish"
4. Men will never reach the edge of the solar system
"Pluto may be the last object marked on schoolroom charts but the solar system doesn't end there. In fact, it isn't even close to ending there. We won't get to the solar system's edge until we have passed through the Oort cloud, a vast celestial realm of drifting comets… Far from marking the outer edge of the solar system, as those schoolroom maps so cavalierly imply, Pluto is barely one 50,000th of the way. Of course we have no prospect of such a journey. Based on what we know now and can reasonably imagine, there is absolutely no prospect that any human being will ever visit the edge of our own solar system — ever. It is just too far".
5. There is no point trying to hide from your bacteria
"There is no point trying to hide from your bacteria, for they are on you and around you always, in numbers you can't conceive of. If you are in good health and averagely diligent about your hygiene, you will have a herd of about one trillion bacteria grazing on your fleshy plains - about one hundred thousand of them on every square centimetre of skin. And those are just the bacteria that inhabit your skin... Every human body consists of about ten quadrillion cells, but it is host to about a hundred quadrillion bacterial cells. They are, in short, a big part of us. From the bacteria's point of view, of course, we are a rather small part of them… This is their planet, and we are only on it because they allow us to be".
6. There is nothing we can do about asteroids
"Oh, probably none," said Anderson breezily. "It wouldn't be visible to the naked eye until it warmed up, and that wouldn't happen until it hit the atmosphere, which would be about one second before it hit the Earth. You're talking about something moving many tens of times faster than the fastest bullet. Unless it had been seen by someone with a telescope, and that's by no means a certainty, it would take us completely by surprise."
7. We are energy
"You may not feel outstandingly robust, but if you are an average-sized adult you will contain within your modest frame no less than 7 x 10^18 joules of potential energy -- enough to explode with the force of thirty very large hydrogen bombs, assuming you knew how to liberate it and really wished to make a point. We're just not very good at taking it out. Even a uranium bomb –the most energetic thing we have produced yet- releases less than 1 percent of the energy it could release if only we were more cunning".
8. Atom's nucleus
"Neutrons and protons occupy the atom's nucleus. The nucleus of an atom is tiny -- only one-millionth of a billionth of the full volume of the atom -- but fantastically dense, since it contains virtually all the atom's mass. As Cropper has put it, if an atom were expanded to the size of a cathedral, the nucleus would be only about the size of a fly -- but a fly many times heavier than the cathedral".
9. The center of the Earth
"The distance from the surface of Earth to the center is 3,959 miles, which isn't so very far. It has been calculated that if you sunk a well to the center and dropped a brick into it, it would take only forty-five minutes for it to hit the bottom… Our own attempts to penetrate toward the middle have been modest indeed. One or two South African gold mines reach to a depth of two miles, but most mines on Earth go no more than about a quarter of a mile beneath the surface. If the planet were an apple, we wouldn't yet have broken through the skin".
10. Is there life out there?
"Still, statistically the probability that there are other thinking beings out there is good… Under Drake's equation you divide the number of stars in a selected portion of the universe by the number of stars that are likely to have planetary systems; divide that by the number of planetary systems that could theoretically support life; divide that by the number on which life, having arisen, advances to a state of intelligence; and so on. At each such division, the number shrinks colossally—yet even with the most conservative inputs the number of advanced civilizations just in the Milky Way always works out to be somewhere in the millions".
Bill Bryson, "A Short History of Nearly Everything"
I don't quite understand how the time for a brick to reach the center of the earth is calculated... 3000 miles+ over 45 minutes, that's an average speed of 4000 miles/hour... that seems pretty fast to me...
It's all very speculative, does it take into account air resistance ? The fact that gravity decreases as you go deeper and the approximation of the center of gravity is no longer valid ?
The strange thing is I've read the book (A short history about everything) but can't remember being surprised by this...
about point 10..milions?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation
Alternatively, making some more optimistic assumptions, and assuming that 10% of civilizations become willing and able to communicate, and then spread through their local star systems for 100,000 years (a very short period in geologic time):
R* = 20/year, fp = 0.1, ne = 0.5, fl = 1, fi = 0.5, fc = 0.1, and L = 100,000 years
N = 20 × 0.1 × 0.5 × 1 × 0.5 × 0.1 × 100,000 = 5,000
5,000 or milions?

Measure Onboarding Effectiveness with Employee Time-to-Productivity
The costs associated with ramping up a new employee are considerable, about $4,000 for new candidate training only. And the average cost of a bad hire is up to 30 percent of the employee's first-year earnings, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Companies routinely invest recruiting effort, manager time, hardware, software, salary, bonus and a host of internal processes and programs to bring a new hire up to speed. Yet many companies rarely measure how long it takes to ramp up performance or productivity.
A "Productivity Tax" for 20+ Weeks
William G. Bliss, certified leadership coach and creator of "The Cost of Turnover" checklist, calculated that the average employee isn't fully productive until the fifth or sixth month. Imagine a company investing in new technologies, only to realize that it doesn't fully function for six months. CFOs would calculate expected ROI and determine how quickly the equipment would ramp to full production. The Talent investment is even more significant, so it's time to add a new measurement to your strategy: time-to-productivity. All companies face this "productivity tax" as new employees ramp up.
Lost Productivity
Organizations can reduce the lost productivity by decreasing the time-to-productivity of their employees. And the higher the salary, the more critical it is to consider time-to-productivity a key metric for onboarding success. A strong onboarding program can lead to higher job satisfaction, lower turnover, stronger organizational commitment, higher performance and can become a real strategic differentiator.
Source: 4 Methods To Accelerate Employees' Time To Competency
How Companies Measure Time-to-Productivity
Time-to-productivity—also called time-to-competence or time-to-proficiency—can be tricky to measure, often requiring the use of qualitative data over time to understand the perceived time-to-competence.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the independent agency of the United States federal government that manages the government's civilian workforce, uses a series of follow up emails and phone calls with both the employee and manager at two weeks, three months, and six months to assess time-to-productivity over time. They developed a complementary survey tool that is confidential, automatically deployed, and used to measure the new hire experience.
Bank of America focuses their time-to-performance on senior levels using 360 feedback to gauge how new executives are performing on key metrics after defined periods of time. For large organizations, the executive "derailment rate" is 40 percent, while Bank of America has reduced that number to 12 percent through a focus on feedback to accelerate executive performance results.
Bridgewater Associates, one of the world's biggest hedge fund firms, mixes qualitative and quantitative data in the form of "dot ratings" where colleagues measure each other on a range of attributes. The feedback informs a new employee's "believability rating baseball cards" which take into account performance reviews, surveys, tests, and ongoing feedback. Bridgewater's radical openness is a different approach but has led to amazing results.
We're doing something different. We are tying learning assets like video, simulations, microlearning and other interactive content to business operations systems. Imagine a manager in a retail store standing shoulder-to-shoulder with showroom floor employees to watch a video on best practice for displaying inventory and then measuring the before and after results of the learning module by comparing restocking, inventory and sales metrics. We follow up with a feedback loop and marry the quantitative to the qualitative.
What Can You Do Now?
Establishing a time-to-productivity measurement can take some time, so here are a few best practices for getting started:
Align Performance Expectations – establish performance milestones for 30-60-90-120 days and clarify how you plan to measure progress against the milestones. Make sure new hires and managers are on the same page for your critical roles.
Baseline Your Program – align with business stakeholders to choose the most meaningful measurement and start gathering data. Add specific questions to surveys, interviews, or 360 assessments and review the feedback. You'll be able to measure milestone achievements as the program changes over time (e.g., X% of employees hires in the last 12 months achieved milestones on time).
Do A/B Testing – As you respond to feedback, test your changes with pilot groups and look at the differences. If time-to-competence goes down as a result of the changes, then implement on a broader scale.
Don't Forget Culture – Think about the political and cultural domains in addition to performance expectations. Make sure you are facilitating employee connections, reinforcing your culture, and pairing the new hires with mentors or buddies who can show them the way.
Strong onboarding programs that measure time-to-productivity can lead to significant results. Employees with higher levels of performance early can reduce the "productivity tax" and lead to real value earlier in their tenure.

How to Cap Shingle a Hip Roof
Applying or installing ridge caps to a roof is the common term for putting on a layer of asphalt or laminate shingles that cover the roof ridge. This is the last task completed on every roofing job, and it must be done correctly to prevent leaking. It is a straightforward process, but it does require working on the highest part of the roof. This can be a do it yourself process, but if you have any doubts about being in this position on a roof, call and let a professional do the job.
Choose a day that will be dry, warm and have little wind. This is important for safety considerations, because you will be at the peak of the roof and you don't want to be blown off in a wind gust, but also because you need to bend the ridge caps over the top of the ridge and they become more flexible the warmer the temperature is.
Determine which end of your ridge receives the least amount of wind. Generally on a north/south orientation, the south end of the ridge would be the place to start. On an east/west orientation, the east end will be the starting point. This is the point on the roof that you will attach the first ridge cap.
Cover the bottom of the first ridge cap with roofing cement and place it, centered, on the edge of the ridge at the end of the house. Bend it over so that it covers the entire ridge. Nail it in place roughly 5 1/2 inches from the ridge end and 1 inch up from the shingle edge.
Overlap the next ridge cap shingle 5 inches from the end of the first one. This will effectively cover up the original nail that was put in place. Repeat the nailing pattern of 5 1/2 inches from the end and 1 inch up from the bottom.
Continue nailing ridge cap shingles in this fashion all the way along the ridge.

Online Tips: How to Install Roofing Shingles -- Step 8
When installing a ridge vent, first apply ridge caps along the ridge, place the ridge vent in place and secure it to the roof, then put another layer of ridge cap shingles over the ridge vent using 3-inch nails to secure the ridge cap shingles in place.
You can make your own ridge cap shingles by cutting the tabs off of regular shingles. However, this leads to a large amount of shingle waste, and in many cases it is more cost effective and offers better time management when you include actual ridge cap shingles in the overall roofing scenario.
When using a ladder to gain access to a roof, always make sure the legs have clear, dry and level footing before you mount it.

Beam Hopping, Beam Forming, Frequency Reuse, and the Quest for Maximizing Satellite Throughput
Satellite communication is amazing in so many ways.
Start with launching a machine into space and expect it to operate precisely while managing to harvest solar energy and hold attitude and position.
Add to the mix operating at frequencies that frankly are absurd.
Wide-band transponders got us this far, but their utility now is just a gateway to the future of spot beams.
Spot beams are formed by higher gain antennas with smaller beam widths than continental wide beam transponders. The beam width is a function of aperture and of frequency. A given aperture delivers a smaller beam width with higher frequency. A given frequency delivers a smaller beam width with a bigger aperture.
The last piece of the puzzle is the part that is in play, that of how to switch the information between the beams, and how many beams can you use?
Cellular technology embraces dividing the world into sectors, where each sector is assigned a pool of frequencies. Interference is minimized by ensuring the adjacent sectors operate on different frequencies. Re-use is accounted by how many sectors combine to use the assigned spectrum. For example, in four-color reuse, the sum of the frequencies is divided into four pools, and these are assigned geometrically in a pattern where each border is across a different frequency pool.
Interference is a consequence of the reuse. Dividing the sum of frequencies more and more leads to higher and higher immunity from interference. Interference will influence the resultant demodulated signal which gets to spectral efficiency.
I find four-color reuse commonly used in broadband spot beam assignments.
In Ku-band, the sum of frequencies may be 500 -1000 MHz times two polarities divided by four equals 250-500 MHz per spot beam. Global allocation is 500 Mhz. More than 1 GHz available in downlink to CONUS.
In Ka band, the sum of frequencies may be 500-1500 MHz time two polarities divided by four equals 250-750 MHz per spot beam. Global allocation is 500 MHz. ViaSat-1 uses as much as 1500 MHz downlink in CONUS, as an example.
Please note that the frequency assignment are a huge matter to satellite operators, that every licensee is looking for any and every slice that might have use, even if with difficulty. For example, Ka band has a non-geostationary operator, O3B, which has 500 MHz that a geostationary operator, ViaSat, uses with the understanding that occasionally it will be unavailable as an O3B satellite transits through. I don't profess to know what everyone can use. It is clear 500 MHz is available in both Ku and Ka, and that both have access to other spectrum.
A fundamental challenge in four-color re-use is having the transmitting power to use the full spectrum available to a given spot beam, when considering that there are limits to how much power and hardware. It is expensive, possibly wasteful, and ultimately limiting to build out every beam to a four-color reuse. Driving innovation is the concept that demand is not homogenous, that demand shifts from beam to beam over the course of a day or seasonally. Some beams may need the sum of the frequencies, not just a share. This has given rise to beam hopping.
As with every great technical challenge, multiple methods have emerged. In this case, it is frequency-division Versus time-division. Four-color reuse is a frequency-division method. Beam-hopping is a time division method.
As with FDMA and TDMA (multiple access), in frequency-division the carrier is a fraction of the time-division carrier. In other words, in frequency-division using 1/4 of the sum of frequencies all the time is equal in time-division using the sum of frequencies 1/4 of the time.
Beam-hopping has a companion technology which is the ability to switch the transmitting power from beam to beam as a function of time. With beam hopping, each beam only needs the sum of frequencies for some portion of time, so each hopping transponder is plumbed into a succession of beams, dwelling just long enough to fill the demand in each beam.
Beam hopping may assign the sum of frequencies in one polarization to a set of transponders and the other polarization to another set of transponders. For example, each transponder would have up to 500 MHz or maybe even 1500 MHz. The number of transponders depends on how many spot beams and total capacity goals. In general, there number of transponders totals to the data link capacity of the satellites. The number of transponders is independent to the number of beams. The satellite is final arbitrator, where the recent trend is trading electric propulsion for more payload and lifetime. But there is only so much power regardless of what you want to do, and that limits the number of transponders (albeit, antenna gain is a factor).
In support of any broadband satellite venture are the service links to the remote terminals (to which this article is focused on), and the feeder links to the ground station that provides the connection to the Internet. The challenge is that the feeder links do not steal from the service links. Spot beams with frequency management gives rise to putting the feeder link into a different location than the corresponding service link. This geographic diversity, if managed, can offer a complete service utility of the forward and return channels. Alternatively, the feeder links can operate on even more absurd frequency bands like Q/V where about four GHz is available in both uplink and downlink. Then there is optical. The bottom line, a given ground station can deliver at least 6 Gbps to the forward service link. If you want to aggregate hundreds of Gbps you will need to aggregate many geographically diverse ground stations. This ground station complexity can circle into the modem, making the modem highly customized to a given network. Operating with two broad band satellite networks may give rise to needing to support two modems.
In frequency division, the spot beams are designed to have a defined border area such that a degree of isolation exists between each sector. With beam hopping, many more spot beams can be supported with overlapping patterns. The benefit to more spot beams is putting the beam center onto each remote terminal to drive the strongest signal. In frequency division, the remote operates across a few dB of variation from beam center to beam edge. In beam-hopping, the remote may always operate near beam center.
In frequency division, the total capacity to a given spot beam is limited to a fraction of the sum of available frequencies. Furthermore, the capacity may not be distributed to meet unforeseen demand. With beam hopping, the sum of frequencies can be brought to any beam, and furthermore each remote may operate at a higher efficiency level. If not for the interference.
We casually assume spectral efficient of 2:1 when converting from bps to Hz; e.g 1000 Mbps takes 500 MHz.
Aeronautical terminals are inherently disadvantaged. 2:1 is a difficult target to achieve. I will leave this aspect to the side from this discussion.
Here are some rules of thumb (forward channel)
Seven color reuse: C/I 18 dB, resultant C/N 12 dB, SE 2.8
Four color reuse: C/I 10 dB, resultant C/N 6 dB, SE 2.0
Two color reuse; C/I 1 dB, resultant C/N 2 dB, SE 1.2
In four color reuse, one beam of 750 MHz delivers about 1.5 Gbps
In two color reuse, one beam of 1.5 GHz delivers about 1.8 Gbps
In beam hopping, it is possible for both polarities to dwell on the same beam at the same time. In this context, one beam could receive 3.6 Gbps (optimistically).
Frequency-division is a relatively simple concept to grasp and model, but inherently limited.
Beam hopping can deliver the service in a more flexible manner. The spot beam architecture of a matrix of overlapping patterns allows in-orbit response to demand as it shifts, or if the satellite is repurposed. Phased array technology permits more and more flexible beam-forming, which translates into even greater in-orbit flexibility.
While it may be easy to utilize apertures around 2 meters, the use of unfurling apertures spanning 5 meters to even more then 9 meters are well underway. A 5 meter aperture will more than triple the number of beams from a 2.6 meter aperture.
Harris Ka-band Unfurling Antennas
In summary, expect a movement in both Ku band and Ka band towards smaller and smaller spot beams and using beam hopping to shift the service to match the demand.
The remote terminals benefit from the best antenna technology coupled with modems that are matched to the needs of beam hopping, notably very high symbol rates (300 MSps or greater) to support the wide carriers. It may be necessary to carry more than one modem.
The satellites become more and more standardized, with in-orbit beam forming and beam hopping.
It is my observation that Ku-band service providers are professing a movement towards a commercial offering using a generic satellite design with in-orbit inter-operable configuration, whereas Ka-band service providers are building more customized satellite networks around complete vertical integration.

Research has shown that when it comes to cybersecurity in organizations, your people are your greatest risk. (A 2016 IBM study, for example, attributed 60% of all breaches to insiders.) These aren't cybercriminals. Usually they aren't even disgruntled ex-employees looking for revenge. In most cases they're just regular folks whose unintentional actions are a threat to the security of your information and processes. If you're wondering how to safeguard your operations from the inside, here are the 4 steps we recommend you take.
For the sake of this article, we'll use the definition of "insider" that Dtex does in its 2019 Insider Threat Intelligence Report: an employee, contractor, vendor or partner with access to corporate data, systems, applications and devices.
STEP 1: Educate your people.
The 2019 Dtex insider threat report I linked to above states that almost two-thirds (64%) of insider security breaches are caused by human error or careless behaviour, not malicious intent. That means one of two things: people don't know what's expected of them, or they're choosing to ignore expectations because those expectations make it hard for them to get their work done. People will use insecure file sharing services, a personal cloud or email service, and insecure networks when working remotely, for example, because they don't understand the risk this behaviour poses to the organization.
Education of new employees can help make expectations clear, including the "why" behind the policies. This is particularly important for younger employees who are new to corporate culture and often assume they should be able to get online access to everything from everywhere. Ongoing cybersecurity refreshers for employees are also important, since new devices, scenarios and threats require an ever-evolving response. Don't forget to train any contractors, freelancers, vendors and partners who can access your systems. Because they're often off-site and using their own devices, they can be a key source of unintended security breaches.
User behaviour analytics, often offered by third-party companies such as Dtex and Endera, can be used to monitor an individual's behaviour on particular devices and systems. This intelligence can reveal individuals who mean to do the company intentional harm—those who have expressed dissatisfaction, are looking for another job or suspect their imminent termination or layoff, for example. However, since most insider security threats are from people who just don't know better, you can also monitor everyone's behaviour to look for risky activity.
STEP 3: Safeguard your systems.
Continue the good work you're already doing to deter and detect security breaches. Ensure your most valuable systems and data are given the most rigorous controls and monitoring. Institute data loss prevention, data encryption, and mobile and cloud security controls. Manage access to data. Apply security patches. Enforce high standards for passwords. Ensure you have intrusion protection and detection. Inventory your devices, including such items as external hard drives and USB keys, and keep track of who has what so you know what to recall when someone is no longer affiliated with your company.
STEP 4: Take a look at your procedures.
Human Resources plays a role here, too. Background checks should be required as part of your hiring processes. Your HR policies should encourage early and constructive resolution of employee grievances. You should actively protect whistleblowers. Finally, retrieve company devices and remove access to company systems as soon as possible after an employee leaves your organization or a relationship with a contractor, vendor or partner has ended.
One last point. When we talk about "insider risk" I often worry that we're promoting images of malevolent employees being paid by someone on the dark web to steal your company's intellectual property. This is rarely the case, and our insider security approaches should reflect this. Most people are well intentioned. We should actively support them to do what's right, rather than create a culture of fear and suspicion, if we really want to protect our organizations from the inside.
