ACE Fiber Takes on Mississippi's Glaring Broadband Gap with Multi-Gig FTTH
August/September 2020 •
By Sean Buckley |
ACE collaborates with other co-ops, confronting cost and culture challenges and providing broadband to more residents in Alcorn County.
Alcorn County Electric Power Association (ACE) holds a unique status in the electric cooperative segment: It is the first rural electric cooperative formed in the United States. The Corinth, Mississippi, co-op was a product of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Rural Electrification Act and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Act in 1934. Now, through its fiber subsidiary, ACE Fiber, ACE will be the first electric cooperative in the region to offer multi-gigabit services.
By leveraging ADTRAN's XGS-PON technology, ACE Fiber can deliver up to 10G service across its entire footprint.
Specifically, ACE Fiber will offer three main packages to consumers: 200 Mbps for $59 per month, 1 Gbps for $79 per month, and 2 Gbps for $99 per month. Customers can bundle the data services with managed Wi-Fi and phone.
ACE Fiber will offer businesses the same tiers, but the 2 Gbps tier requires a two-year contract and the 1 Gbps and 200 Mbps plans do not. ACE Fiber asks businesses to contact it for pricing.
With more than 18,500 meters on its electric network, ACE Fiber will be able to simultaneously support residential broadband and lucrative enterprise opportunities.
"Out of the meters we serve, about 14,500 are residential," says ACE CFO Sean McGrath. "We feel there are about 2,000 to 2,500 eligible industrial customers we're trying to take advantage of as well."
Glaring Need for Broadband
Like other electric cooperatives owned by their customers, ACE saw an opportunity to give its rural base access to high-speed broadband service.
Some Corinth residents can access Comcast's DOCSIS 3.1 cable service or AT&T U-verse DSL, but broadband options are limited for many rural areas of Alcorn County.
"Our county remains underserved or unserved with broadband, and we're trying to help the people in those areas," McGrath says. "All the income generated from the fiber subsidiary will be returned to the electric co-op. Those dividends can be distributed to help offset electric rates."
Mississippi has never been a leader in broadband access among U.S. states; it has ranked near the bottom. However, ACE Fiber wants to change that perception. It is a beneficiary of the Mississippi Broadband Enabling Act, passed in 2019. The law allows electric cooperatives to deliver fiber-based broadband internet access. Before passage, the state's electric co-ops could not provide broadband services. Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant signed the bipartisan legislation after it cleared the state Senate unanimously and the House 115-3.
The new law does not mandate that electric co-ops pursue broadband but expands their authority to do so through affiliates that are separate from their electric businesses. Co-ops can install fiber on their existing utility poles and lease it to the affiliates. Also, an electric co-op's fiber affiliate can partner with an internet provider, such as an independent telco, to deliver broadband services.
Since the law took effect, four co-op boards approved plans to enter the retail broadband space, including Alcorn County EPA, Tallahatchie Valley EPA, Prentiss County EPA and Tombigbee Electric Power Association.
"When we got started with broadband, the Mississippi legislature back in early 2019 identified a glaring need for rural broadband," McGrath says. "Mississippi was very deficient in broadband with speeds between 10–12 Mbps."
ACE initially called its fiber subsidiary FirstLight Fiber, but the co-op renamed it ACE Fiber because the name resonated better.
"We are member owned and are part of the ACE family," McGrath says. "Our customers know us as ACE, so we decided to rebrand as ACE Fiber."
The co-op, which began deploying FTTH in March, is now turning up paying customers. For ACE's network growth plans, it relied on FiberRise to provide the engineering, procurement and construction management.
"It has been a light speed process, but we feel like we were behind on a national level," McGrath says. "We feel like we're primed from an economic development standpoint for the rest of the nation to take note of what we're doing in northeastern Mississippi."
Vying for Whole-Home Wi-Fi
Any customer who signs up for ACE's FTTH service will get not only access to gigabit speed connections but also whole-home Wi-Fi.
McGrath says that its move to offer whole-home Wi-Fi with ADTRAN and Zyxel routers reflects how consumers access internet in their homes.
"When subscribers pay for monthly internet, they expect the internet to be wireless," he says. "That's a tough proposition because of the issues wireless presents."
Mesh Wi-Fi or whole-home Wi-Fi systems consist of a main router that connects directly to a customer's modem and a series of satellite modules, or nodes, placed around a house for full Wi-Fi coverage. Unlike traditional Wi-Fi routers, mesh Wi-Fi routers are all part of a single wireless network and share the same SSID and password.
Whole-home Wi-Fi is a concept gaining momentum among broadband providers. Research firm Dell'Oro revealed in a recent report that consumer mesh routers have grown rapidly over the last year, with 23 million total units expected this year.
The research firm said that service providers are "identifying when mesh routers are required by means of delivering apps that allow new subscribers to describe their homes, the placement of their routers, and the types of devices throughout the home that might require closer proximity to a mesh base station
or satellite."
Service providers are either reselling mesh routers or integrating mesh capabilities directly into their higher-end gateways.
Dell'Oro noted that global home networking unit shipments are expected to decline only by 1 percent in 2020, despite the disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Jumping to XGS-PON
Because it is entering the FTTH industry now, ACE can bypass previous generations of PON technology by going to XGS-PON, which can support 10 Gbps symmetrical data transfer and is part of the ITU-T G.987 family of access network standards.
The standard offers ACE Fiber disruptive economics and higher network capacity compared with older fiber access technologies.
ACE Fiber is leveraging ADTRAN's XGS-PON to offer 2G services – a speed double the existing support of major cable and major fiber providers in the area.
The new broadband network will encompass all of Alcorn County, providing connectivity for the local businesses, manufacturing plants, farms, hospitals, schools and residents.
"Our subscribers are going to reap the benefits of the highly available, high-speed broadband internet connection," McGrath says.
Broadband COVID-19 Act Presents New Co-Op Opportunities
The Mississippi Public Service Commission is teeing up $150 million in grants and matching funds under the Mississippi Electric Cooperatives Broadband COVID-19 Act to improve broadband access in the state.
Mississippi's legislature created two funding opportunities: $65 million for electric cooperatives and $10 million for other broadband providers. Each program requires providers to match grant dollars, resulting in a total of $150 million for broadband expansion throughout the state. ACE Power received a $4.9 million grant to support its ongoing initiative to make broadband internet access available in unserved and underserved parts of Alcorn County.
Other awardees include Coast Electric Power Association (Coast Electric), Delta EPA, East Mississippi EPA, Monroe County EPA, Natchez Trace EPA, North East Mississippi EPA, and Tombigbee EPA. Collectively they have been awarded more than $30 million to deploy fiber networks.
By making broadband more widely available, co-ops and other ISPs will enable telemedicine and telework applications. The Mississippi Public Service Commission said these broadband services also will provide connectivity to students who need access to online learning as schools phase back into modified operation, and to people who need adequate broadband to receive necessary services or to work in a healthy, safe environment.
Funding for the Mississippi Electric Cooperatives Broadband COVID-19 Act was appropriated by the legislature as part of the CARES Act funding appropriated by Congress and signed by President Trump. The program provides grants to electric cooperatives and other broadband providers to expand high-speed internet access throughout the state.
The grants and matching funds, which the Mississippi Public Service Commission says will be expended by the end of the year, represent more than $150 million in investment in the state's rural communities.
Electric cooperatives that have won grants estimate that broadband services will potentially reach more than 50,000 residents, of which more than 40,000 are deemed underserved by the FCC.
Today, the FCC outlines and maps underserved and unserved census blocks, which are used to determine whether a project is eligible. The Mississippi Public Service Commission staff encouraged as much investment as possible inside the underserved and unserved census blocks. The cooperatives that received funding will install more than 5,000 miles of fiber.
To further provide access, the public utilities staff also sought commitments from applicants to provide Wi-Fi hot spots in their communities. The staff requested that hot spots be strategically located at no cost to any user.
Recipients of the Mississippi Electric Cooperatives Broadband COVID-19 Act
ACE Fiber is set on serving its own customers, but it is keen to collaborate with other electric cooperatives throughout Mississippi that are deploying FTTH.
Mississippi has 25 electric cooperatives that deliver electricity to more than 793,900 meters (more than 682,600 residential meters) and one generation and transmission cooperative (Cooperative Energy in Hattiesburg), which distributes wholesale power to 11 electric power associations. The TVA provides wholesale power to the other 14 electric power associations.
"There are 26 co-ops in Mississippi and we're friendly with all of them," McGrath says. "From a collaboration standpoint, we're helping each other out by identifying what other people are doing."
He adds, "We don't have any partnerships with any other co-ops at this time, but that's a possibility down the road."
ACE is collaborating with other co-ops through its membership in a consortium to bid in the FCC's Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF). Formed by FiberRise, the RDOF.com consortium focuses on helping electric cooperatives navigate the RDOF application process. The RDOF will allocate $20.4 billion to construct rural broadband networks.
RDOF.com offers resources to help electric cooperatives with feasibility and business modeling as well as application expertise. It assists cooperatives with two stages: The first stage helps cooperatives determine if RDOF is right for them, and the second establishes an exclusive partnership with a qualified consortium focused on strategy development.
RDOF is just one of many funding sources ACE Fiber hopes to use, but most of the network will be built with its own capital.
"We looked at our situation and said we want to remain self-sufficient," McGrath says. "We did not want to rely on any government funding, so we created a business plan we felt we could make work without the need for government funding."
Unlike traditional telco or cable operators, which target specific areas where they think they can get a high profit for high-speed services, ACE plans to offer 10 Gbps capability to all its members.
"We're going to provide up to 10 Gbps to 100 percent of our membership regardless of whether we get any funding," McGrath says. "If we can get funding in the form of RDOF or any other grant money, we're going to take that and probably accelerate our build with it."
Cultural, Financial Shift
For electric co-ops such as ACE that have spent their entire existence delivering electricity to rural areas, broadband brings on a new set of responsibilities and costs.
A study commissioned by a majority of Mississippi's 26 co-ops estimates it will cost $1.5 billion to deliver broadband fiber to the home to 75 percent of members. But the cost of deploying the network is only half the battle. The co-op had to adjust its long-standing company culture.
ACE reached out to fellow electric co-ops that have made similar transitions. Some co-ops created fiber divisions within the companies, and others created subsidiaries.
"One of the things we struggled with is culture within the co-op," McGrath says. "Now there was a division between the legacy electric employees and these new fiber employees we were bringing on board."
Whenever new team members join the fiber part of the company, they are classified as co-op employees.
"We have tried to instill the idea that we are all ACE Power employees," McGrath says. "We have an 86-year-old history with our membership."
He adds that ACE plans to leverage and build on the relationship it has always had on the electric side with
"While we are a for-profit subsidiary and broadband company, we're going to approach our business with the same cooperative principles that we've always had," McGrath says. "I think that's what's going to help us be successful because we are that trusted resource."

Q: Handling events triggered from controls programmatically added to the page? I am programatically adding a control to an aspx page and binding a server side event to an index changed event inside the control. (It's a RadListBox from Telerik's ASP.NET controls)
The problem is that on the postback triggered from the control, the event doesn't hit its eventhandler because on the postback the control isn't defined.
Is there a way to handle this without having to retrace the logic taken before and rebuild the controls so the events that stem from it are processed?
What is proper way?

A: You should be adding your dynamic controls in the OnInit event, and add them on every postback.
There is no way for the event of a dynamic control to fire unless the control has been recreated on the postback.

Steelers keeping Matt Canada as offensive coordinator in 2023
Liz Roscher
Fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers who spent the season booing offensive coordinator Matt Canada and calling for his firing may want to start saving their voices now, because they'll be doing a lot of the same booing next season.
The Steelers announced on Wednesday that Canada will be returning to head coach Mike Tomlin's staff in 2023.
Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was the first to report the news.
Just a few months ago, things looked pretty bleak for Canada's future with the Steelers. They were 3-7 through Week 11, had scored at least 20 points only twice, and at least 30 just once. But starting Week 12, things changed. The Steelers went 6-1 with a four-game winning streak to end the season — though it wasn't quite the miraculous turnaround it seemed to be. The Steelers managed to score more than 20 points just three more times, and faced only one playoff team over those final seven games: the Baltimore Ravens, who were a shadow of themselves without QB Lamar Jackson under center.
So why keep an offensive coordinator if the offense he planned wasn't all that successful, even when the team was winning? The improvement Canada and the offense showed in the final weeks — meager as it was — may have helped head coach Mike Tomlin make that decision. Here's what Tomlin said about Canada after the final game of the season.
"I thought he got better just like our team got better," Tomlin said via The Athletic. "I'm not going to speculate about him or anyone as I stand here today. … I'm just not there. We have some work to do, but largely I thought he got better in the ways that we got better, so it was encouraging."
Another factor could be rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett. Not only could ditching Canada affect Pickett negatively (he'd have to learn a new offense and develop a relationship with a new OC), he's known Canada for years and recently sang his praises on his teammate Cameron Heyward's podcast, "Not Just Football."
"He picks my brain on what I like and how I like it," Pickett said. "Throughout the game, [he's] asking me to rank plays. He likes to see the game from the quarterback's point of view. He keeps things different. We really caught stride after that bye week, and we figured out what it takes to win — what that recipe looks like, so we can continue to grow as a team and grow as an offense."
Tomlin is smart. If the Steelers want Pickett to be their next franchise QB, best to keep him happy and not mess with his development, right?

Nicholas Kristof: Warren's growing popularity shows skeptics are coming around
By Nicholas Kristof Columnist
As the Democratic presidential campaign began, I was deeply skeptical of Elizabeth Warren.
My first objection was that she appeared to have parlayed possible Native American heritage to gain academic jobs (Harvard Law School listed her as Native American beginning in 1995).
That offended me, and I knew it would repel huge numbers of voters.
Second, I thought she shot from the hip and, with her slight political experience, would wilt on the campaign trail.
Third, I thought she was a one-note Sally, eloquent on finance but thin on the rest of domestic and foreign policy.
So much for my judgment: I now believe I was wrong on each count, and her rise in the polls suggests that others are also seeing more in her.
Warren has become the gold standard for a policy-driven candidate, and whether or not she wins the Democratic nomination, she's performing a public service by helping frame the debate.
Let's examine my misperceptions. First, The Boston Globe conducted a rigorous examination of Warren's legal career, and it is now clear that she never benefited professionally from Native American associations.
"The Globe found clear evidence, in documents and interviews, that her claim to Native American ethnicity was never considered by the Harvard Law faculty, which voted resoundingly to hire her, or by those who hired her to four prior positions at other law schools," the newspaper concluded.
Then there's the concern about political naïveté and inexperience. Warren first ran for office only in 2012; even Pete Buttigieg has been in elective politics longer.
It's reasonable to worry about her electability, partly because last year she won reelection in Massachusetts as senator with a smaller share of the popular vote than Hillary Clinton had received two years earlier in the state.
In contrast, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota hugely outperformed Clinton.
I worried about a tendency to shoot from the hip when Warren misread an article and in 2016 wrote a Facebook rant denouncing a supposedly greedy Trump-supporting investor, Whitney Tilson.
In fact: Tilson opposed Trump and agrees with Warren on most issues; indeed, Tilson had previously donated to Warren.
The unbalanced screed resembled a Trump tweet and made me wonder about Warren's judgment.
But Warren later apologized, and she has been more careful since.
Tilson told me that he thinks the rant was not part of a pattern but perhaps reflected a sleep-deprived moment.
More broadly, Warren has improved tremendously as a politician. Early on, she sometimes came across as a stern Harvard professor eager to grill you about an obscure tort case. She's now much better on the hustings. Forget the tort case and Harvard Law; she's an Oklahoma gal who wants to have a beer with you.
Finally, I was manifestly wrong on Warren's policies. She has been a geyser of smart proposals, including one I particularly like for universal child care. This would resemble the outstanding child care program operated by the U.S. military and would benefit both working moms and at-risk kids.
Warren also has a range of other proposals, pertaining to everything from election reform to housing, antitrust to corporate governance. Then she offers a wealth tax to help pay for social programs.
One of America's biggest problems is the collapse of the working class and the lower middle class, with suicide at a 30-year high and drug and alcohol abuse causing life expectancy to fall. Warren confronts that crisis head-on both with her personal story and with sharp policies to boost opportunity. Her 2017 memoir, "This Fight Is Our Fight," is that rarity of campaign books: a decent read.
Warren's proposals might or might not succeed, but they are serious, based on work by top scholars. She is a believer in a market economy, regulated to keep it from being rigged, and in corporations that contribute to the well-being of all. And while she's no expert on foreign policy, her instincts on avoiding war with Iran and showing concern for Palestinians seem good ones.
At her best, Warren is also brilliant at shaping the narrative. In 2011, she explained why taxing the rich isn't "class warfare."
"There's nobody in this country who got rich on his own — nobody," she said in a clip that went viral. "You built a factory out there? Good for you! But I want to be clear: You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces the rest of us paid for."
She ended: "You built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea? God bless! Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay it forward for the next kid who comes along."That's a conversation we need to have in America, and I'm glad Warren is getting attention so that she can make her case.

Brucellaceae es una familia de bacterias gram-negativas del orden de las Rhizobiales. Son de pequeño tamaño y su forma va desde cocoides a esferas. Son parásitos obligados o facultativos, fundamentalmente de vertebrados de sangre caliente e incluyen a serios patógenos como Brucella Rhizobiales, intracelulares de mamíferos.
El género Brucella incluye diversas especies bacterianas que ocasionan en el hombre y en los animales el conjunto de enfermedades conocidas como brucelosis.

Originalmente fueron descritos por David Bruce, en 1887, en el bazo y el hígado de soldados ingleses fallecidos en la isla de Malta con una enfermedad llamada fiebre ondulante o fiebre de Malta. La fuente de los microorganismos fue establecida en 1904, cuando se aisló a partir de la leche y la orina de cabras enfermas. El segundo aislamiento fue realizado en Dinamarca, por Bang, en 1887, a partir de ganado con infección abortiva (enfermedad de Bang). El tercer aislamiento se realizó en Estados Unidos, en 1914, a partir de fetos de cerdos de partos prematuros.

Aunque se han descrito seis especies (B. abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis, B. canis, B. ovis y B. neotomae), recientes estudios de hibridación del ADN  indican que todas son biovariantes de la misma especie B. melitensis.

El hábitat más común para estos organismos es el ganado bovino (B. abortus), ovejas y cabras (B. melitensis, solo ovejas B. ovis), ganado porcino (B. suis), perros (B. canis) y las ratas del desierto (B. neotomae). Aunque existe un reservorio animal para cada especie, pueden ocurrir superposiciones, por ejemplo, se han aislado B. abortus, B. melitensis y B. suis de ganado bovino. Los microorganismos pueden existir en estos animales sin enfermedad aparente, aunque algunas especies ocasionen grandes pérdidas económicas.

El hombre adquiere la infección a través de la ingestión de leche no pasteurizada o sus derivados, o mediante la manipulación de tejidos de animales infectados. Brucella es un parásito obligado de los animales y el hombre, y su localización intracelular es característica. Son bacterias relativamente inactivas desde el punto de vista metabólico. En el hombre, la brucelosis se caracteriza por su fase bacteriémica aguda, seguida por una etapa crónica que puede extenderse durante varios años y afectar a muchos tejidos.

Office Market News
How Europe's cities are embracing flexible space
As more companies of all shapes and sizes choose turn to flexible space – whether its hot-desking areas in buildings they already occupy or taking space in independently owned coworking set-ups - it's fast becoming part of modern working life and a small but increasingly significant part of Europe's office markets.
Europe's flex space footprint has doubled since the start of 2015, according to JLL's Flexible space: Transforming real estate report. In 2017 alone, flexible space grew by 29 percent, adding around 620,000 square meters.
Now, in cities with thriving start-up scenes such as Amsterdam, Berlin and London, growing numbers of operators from behemoths like eoffice, The Office Group and WeWork to local brands are snapping up office leases and jostling to market their services to a growing band of freelancers, contractors and corporates.
In the last three years the amount of flexible space in Amsterdam, Berlin and London increased by as much as 35 percent a year. Amsterdam now has the highest flex space concentration globally, accounting for 5.6 percent of its total office stock, which places it ahead of even the most mature US office markets.
"Growth in flexible space is being driven by changes in how, when and where people work with as much as 30 percent of the working population already working in the on-demand or gig economy," says Alex Colpaert, Head of Office Research at JLL EMEA.
"The proliferation of cloud computing, VPNs, super-fast Wi-Fi and 4G (soon 5G) connectivity means that office-type work can be carried out anywhere and at any time."
Corporate attitudes are also evolving past the traditional 9-5, fixed desk model with an increased emphasis on collaboration, community and agility. "Many larger companies now realize that, to compete in the digital age, they need to attract and retain skilled people who are unlikely to relish traditional office environments," says Colpaert.
Office life 2.0
With flexible space very much in take-off phase in Europe, new formats are coming to the fast-growing market. JLL research suggests there are more than 700 unique operators in the 20 largest European office markets, 20 percent of which opened their first centre within the last two years.
In doing so, they're creating ever more diverse sets of formats from women-only to industry-specific, and bare bones to luxury, all-inclusive models.
Yet one thing they tend to have in common is location. In most continental European office markets, around 60 percent of flexible office space is in the city centre and other key business districts, with the balance located in the often dynamic fringe markets.
Just a handful of brands established in any European market operate more than 10 locations. However, these companies are growing strongly; the top five European operators accounting for 80 percent of new flex space since 2015.
"We believe this pattern will continue as these international operators increase their footprint in established markets and expand beyond gateway locations to second-tier cities," says Colpaert.
Many landlords have also been quick to add flexible space to their existing buildings, especially in Amsterdam where this model accounts for around 25 percent of total flex space. Meanwhile in Paris, some of the largest landlords such as Gecina, Icade, Foncière des Regions and Nexity have all recently launched their own brands.
A flexible future
Such moves are helping to make flexible space increasingly mainstream. JLL predicts that flexible space will grow by an average of 25 to 30 percent a year in the next five years, adding up to 7 million square meters to the market and pushing the total market size to around 10 million square meters by 2022. However, Colpaert warns that economic cycles mean this will not be a linear process.
And while the likes of London, Amsterdam and Berlin will continue to add flexible space, it will also become more of a feature of office markets in other big cities such as Hamburg, Warsaw, Barcelona and Milan. These all recorded flex space growth above 25 percent in 2017 – and more of the same is expected in 2018, Colpaert says.
"Flex space growth rates – and its impact on the office market - cannot be ignored," he notes. "Not all businesses will require flexible workspace, but the vast majority will significantly increase their usage over the next five years.
"Today's employees want spaces that better meet their needs; tomorrow's employees will expect it. Providing flexibility and creating environments that inspire, stimulate and respond to change is non-negotiable to attract the next generation of talent that companies need to succeed in a fast-paced, global marketplace."

Mike Pompeo urges other countries to help protect tankers after Gulf attacks
The US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, has called on other nations to help safeguard tanker traffic in the Persian Gulf following a spate of attacks on ships which On a visit to US Central Command headquarters, Pompeo said shipping security in the Gulf was not exclusively a US problem. "You have China that depends enormously on energy transiting the Strait of Hormuz. You have South Korea, Indonesia, Japan, all of whom have an enormous interest in ensuring there's freedom of navigation throughout this waterway," the secretary of state said. ...

Theycallme_Mo is a channel by a youtuber and beauty blogger simply going by "Mo," who makes a wide variety of intriguing beauty-related videos that are noticeably well-made, with excellent editing and a style that makes them mesmerizingly fun to watch, with catchy music in the background and attractive camera angles and cuts that really impress. She reviews makeup and skincare products, makes lifestyle videos on everything from exercise to her love life, as well as the expected tutorials, hauls, and the like that tend to come with being a makeup vlogger. Also notable are her videos on finding good makeup choices for dark skin, a topic sadly oft-forgotten in the predominantly white, euro-centric beauty industry.
In her video "get un-ready with me," Mo shows us her end-of-day routine as she takes off makeup, relaxes, takes care of her skin and gets ready for bed. The video is wordless; she practices "show, don't tell" to great effect as she simply goes about her routine, highlighting things with clever camera shots and superimposed lettering and just doing her thing.
Several OROGOLD products are featured prominently in this video. In it, Mo comes home to her apartment, snags some wipes to take off her face makeup, and then follows up with OROGOLD's 24K Sensitive Skin Cleanser. We get to see her apply it methodically, silently showcasing not only the product but the way it's meant to be used, too. She follows this up with a 24K Vitamin C Mask, then starts bathwater running, adding a bit of honey and taking some time to relax. Finally, she shows us a sweeping view of all the OROGOLD products she uses, which does a wonderful job of highlighting the attractive packaging and casting a flattering light on these luxurious skincare gems. She closes by moisturizing and smiling at the camera before the credits roll.

The first round of the new student golf season was played under a changing weather pattern on the Torrance Course at Fairmont St Andrews. The "Stirling International" is now the established curtain-raiser for the BUCS/SSS Golf Tour, always providing drama to go with the debuts of the new crop of players.
In the women's competition, the first drama was the morning withdrawal through sickness of Hazel MacGarvie (Stirling). The loss of the reigning Macpherson Order of Merit second year opened the door for the rest of the female field.
Nicola Slater (Stirling) was one to take advantage of MacGarvie's absence. Having moved into the first group, and bogeying the first hole, the first year student eagled the second hole - her first of two in the round - and never looked back, eventually signing for a seven-under 67 that included four birdies to go with those eagles.
Head of the chasing pack is Maynooth's Ciara Casey, who went out in level par, thanks to matching Slater's eagle at the second, and then came back in three under to shoot a 71, four back from the leader. One shot further back is Emily Mollard (Exeter), a French golfer who picked up four birdies in her opening round 72.
With 13 players covered by 3 shots in the middle of the field, the real drama on Thursday may well come from who is able to grab a place in the top 12 and make the cut for Friday's final round.
In the team competition, all three of the top teams recorded under-par scores, with Stirling I (-7), leading Maynooth I (-3), and Exeter I (-2).
On the men's side, having the top three finishers from last year's Order of Merit in the field was a sign of the strength on show. Couple that with a strong crop of first-year golfers and a deep team from Maynooth University, and a cluster at the top of the leaderboard was always on the cards.
James Glenn (Durham), reigning Macpherson Order of Merit champion, went out in the first group and set the early clubhouse lead – very solid golf, including three birdies, helping him to a two-under 70.
Glenn was joined at the top of the leaderboard by Durham team-mate James Rogers, who matched Glenn's three birdies in his 70. Completing the triumvirate at the top was Scott Macpherson (Stirling), who recorded five birdies, tied for the most in the field during the day, and Aberdeen's Andrew Mulholland who had a two-under round.
In the team competition, Stirling I were the only team to break par (-1), giving them a two stroke lead over Maynooth, who are four ahead of Stirling II.

As a cosmetology student, Lisia Cooley-Walch learned that she was not meant to cut hair. And although her aspirations to become a hairstylist were short-lived, the accidental streak of bad hair days she inflicted upon her mother was not. "Thank goodness punk was in at the time," Cooley-Walch says. "They need warnings on those scissors—they're not user-friendly." Even in the face of scissor-shock, she was determined to avoid becoming another beauty school dropout. She was not adept at cutting hair, but she did show an innate knack for removing it altogether. Even so, when Cooley-Walch stumbled into the realm of hair removal, what she found surprised her.
"As an electrologist, you have women who come to see you, and they have a problem. I'm changing people's lives, and that's a wonderful feeling," she says. After graduating from cosmetology school at Mecosta-Osceola Career Center in Big Rapids, Michigan, Cooley-Walch enrolled directly in Clark's Electrology School in Sturgis, Michigan. At the tender age of 18, she opened Lisia's Electrolysis in Big Rapids.
When Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc., and mentor Fox Anderson invited Cooley-Walch to Boston in 1995 to test the first laser designed for hair removal, she just knew that she was on the brink of something big. "It was as if we were going to be the pioneers of this invention that was going to change our industry," Cooley-Walch recalls. She was right. The ruby red laser won her over, although she remains an electrologist at heart, and Lisia's Electrolysis blossomed into Lisia's Electrolysis & Laser Hair Removal. Even though the face of electrology is evolving constantly, for Cooley-Walch, some things never change.
Almost 25 years after she started her business, she still works in the same building that housed the hopes of a young girl brimming with the desire to help people. "These are women who get up before their husbands or boyfriends see them, and they shave," she says. "You're changing the way people look at themselves and the way they feel about themselves." For Cooley-Walch's clients, that change not only comes through clinical care, but also through genuine care—her desire to see the whole person who needs attention throughout the entire process. She would not dream of performing laser hair removal or electrolysis on a client who does not have an understanding about the underlying problem. "It's not just the procedures," Cooley-Walch explains. "I'm teaching my clients about how to take care of their skin, why they have a problem and how I can help them."
For some of her clients, that help comes in unexpected forms. Cooley-Walch's credo is simple: Treat others as you would like to be treated. This often drives her to transform effortlessly from clinician to friend. During the past decade, Cooley-Walch notes that she has treated many transgender patients who find the hair removal process to be much more than a superficial metamorphosis. "The hair removal piece of their transformation is what they say is the most emotional part for them," she explains. "Not only are you their hair removal professional, you're their confidant." Cooley-Walch and her clients seemed to have unearthed the bittersweet sentiment in transformation, and it has left both inextricably changed.
Such experience has ignited a determined drive within her to fight for the future of her profession. As president of the Society of Clinical and Medical Electrologists Inc., an organization she has been involved with since 1989, Cooley-Walch lobbies against regulations that threaten to take medical procedures out of the hands of electrologists. As more and more physicians find financial lure in treatments that once were unique to the electrology industry, she refuses to stand idle. It is that very desire to move the industry forward that earned Cooley-Walch the Society of Medical Electrologists Inc.'s 2006 Bordier Award, which is presented to visionaries in the field. Activism is an everyday challenge for her because she understands that industry unification guarantees her survival in the profession. Cooley-Walch hopes to create fusion among her colleagues. "Help your profession, because that is going to be your livelihood," she urges.
Although she strives to make big changes, it seems as though the little victories—such as the renewed hope in the eyes of a client who now sees the possibility for change, or the blissful confidence of a person freed from insecurity—are where Cooley-Walch finds her satisfaction. "I am extremely content right now," she says. "I have no aspiration to make my business any bigger than it already is. I enjoy what I do. I make time for my clients and make sure they know that I am there for them, and that I care about what I do."

Crime Dave Weasel Top 10
Woman stabs boyfriend for not liking Instagram selfie fast enough
CANTON, OH – A 22 year old woman was arrested after stabbing her boyfriend in the face with a sharpened selfie-stick because he did not like her post on Instagram within the allotted 10 minute timeframe.
"This is atrocious, I can't believe I am being charged for exercising what should be a constitutional right," says the suspect. "This is 2015. When are the fat cats in Washington going to wake up and realize that when you are in a relationship, you must like your partner's picture as soon as they post it. If anyone is the victim here, it is me."
Her lawyer also made a statement. "This young woman acted in self defence, he assaulted her feelings. She spent over 3 hours picking and adjusting the perfect filter for her selfie. She even logged into Facebook Messenger and saw he was 'online now' and had yet to acknowledge and validate her appearance, as though he thinks she is ugly. For the man to wait an entire 11 minutes is a senseless, barbaric act of violence towards her self-esteem."
"This woman is a political prisoner, persecuted because of her race" adds the DA, who plans to drop all charges. "I too suffer from WGP [white girl problems] and am sick of people trying to hold me accountable for my unreasonable, borderline psychotic reactions to tedious things. Her boyfriend could've been doing anything during those 11 minutes, like sleeping with other women. I can't even imagine the level of anxiety she must've felt while sharpening that selfie-stick, waiting for him to return home. The man survived the attack but we will be filing assault charges against him and pursuing the death penalty."

Design firms face risk every day—you can't avoid it. At times, the practice of architecture or engineering can feel like a minefield. Our goal at Berkley DP, and the purpose of this webinar is to help guide you through that minefield without getting blown up by risk.
At its core, risk management for design professionals is practice management——and both are best done proactively. A Risk Management Plan is an essential element of loss prevention and a key ingredient of financial success for a design firm. One that is integrated into a firm's culture and embraced by its leadership makes a significant positive impact on business performance and longevity. An effective plan contemplates the entire project cycle: from client selection to project inception and through project close-out. Bottom line: a well-run, well-managed design firm is more profitable and has less exposure to risk.
This webinar offers insight on the benefits of a Risk Management Plan and the building blocks to help you develop one for your firm.
Andy Mendelson is unique to the professional liability insurance industry because of his 35+ years as a licensed architect and firm principal, working as a designer, project manager, market leader, contracting officer, risk manager, CFO and Director of Practice Management for a large, national multi-disciplinary design firm. As an active member of AIA Documents Committee since 2003, he is an acknowledged industry leader in contracting and risk management.
Diane has 20 years of experience in professional liability insurance, focused on understanding the causes of claims against design professionals and translating that knowledge into meaningful education programs that help A/Es avoid or mitigate loss.

Biographie
Battista di Gerio  est né à Pise vers 1350 et est mort dans la même ville vers 1420. Il est le fils d'un tailleur de pierre nommé Gerio di Giovanni. Il se forme auprès du peintre siennois Vittorio di Domenico. Il est documenté entre Pise et Lucques de 1414 à 1418.

Do you know the old saying about everybody having new shoes except the cobbler's own children? It's an example of how easy it is to put all your attention on everyone "out there" while overlooking needs that are right under your nose.
At IPF, we're all very dedicated to making sure our customers have what they need. It's in our vision statement—to be the most high-performing, innovative, leading-edge facilities organization in the nation, with a focus on quality, customer satisfaction and value in all we do. And it's one of our strategic objectives—improve the customer experience by strengthening key systems.
But another of our strategic objectives is to strengthen employee development by creating a comprehensive pipeline of T-shaped individuals. The truth is, we can't have one without the other. IPF can't deliver excellent customer service if you—our employees—don't have the training, tools, support and leadership you need to be successful.
That's why on August 1, all regular, full-time IPF employees will get an email asking you to take a survey to find out what your experience as an IPF employee is like. The survey is your opportunity to tell us how you feel about your work environment and the support you get from your supervisor and IPF's senior leadership. What's the best way for you to get important information? How do you feel about IPF's "culture"? Do you have everything you need to do your best work? I could try to guess the answers, but I probably wouldn't be any more successful than the cobbler who tries to guess his children's shoe sizes without bothering to measure.
There are some questions I can answer, however. For instance, is the survey anonymous? Yes. IPF isn't even administering the survey. An independent group called Studer Education is giving the survey and receiving all the responses. How will the survey responses be used? Studer Education will provide reports on the aggregated results so that IPF can identify areas of employee concern and figure out how to respond. Survey results definitely WON'T be used in anyone's performance evaluation! Will the results be shared? Yes. Through a roll-out process, survey results will be shared with everyone at IPF. Larger departments will receive department-specific results, while small departments will receive results at the advisory team member level (to preserve anonymity).
Here's the bottom line: the survey really is anonymous, and you should feel very comfortable giving truthful, complete answers to the questions. At the same time, this isn't a "gotcha'" opportunity. It's not about trying to get someone in trouble.
I can't require you to take the survey, but our goal is no less than 100 percent participation. So I'm asking—please take a few minutes to complete the survey when you get the email from Studer. Your input is very important to IPF and to me.
P.S. And as always, if you have something you want to share, suggest or complain about, send it to TheDetails@ipf.msu.edu.
