Spa Letters
By Steve Capellini, LMT
Author's Note: The Spa Letters column features news, personality profiles, trends, and plenty of professional possibilities for LMTs in the spa industry. The style is epistolary, meaning the articles are letters to a fictional massage therapist friend of the author.
Dear Lou,
The suggestions in my last letter didn't seem to do you much good. You still have an ornery spa directory on your hands, and now she's threatening to fire you for no apparent reason. Beware my friend: many spa employees have lost their positions to office politics, which are as rampant in this "healing" environment as they are at any corporation. You've got to be careful! I do have a few more suggestions that you can take with a grain of salt. See if they sit well with you, and if you feel it's the right direction to go in, then act accordingly.
The suggestions come from two different angles, both aimed at improving the relationship you have with Ms. X, the troublesome spa director.
A Home in the Spa
Your spa director is someone who came to the field through the management ranks of the resort chain for whom you work. This is great, since she knows the ins and outs of budgets, overall marketing strategy, interdepartmental cooperation, upper-level policy making guidelines, and other important corporate realities, but the one attribute she sorely lacks is spa knowledge. Her heart has not brought her into the spa, like your heart brought you, or the other therapists, and she's feeling a little out of place. Since she's a human being, she probably feels the need to fit in and create a home in the spa for herself, but it's difficult. How can she truly join the ranks of spa directors without knowing, in her bones, how it feels to serve other people in a hands-on way?
Many in Ms. X's position have holed up in their spa director's office, closed the door, and waited out their tenure, hoping to move onto another assignment, in another department, as soon as possible. But that needn't be the case. There is a way for your spa director to feel more a part of the spa world, and to join the sorority of women who have found a niche for themselves there, if she so desires.
A Retreat Treat
I suggest you give your spa director the flier I've included with this letter, and tell her there's a treat in store for her if she'll sign up for the annual women's spa director's retreat, created by Tara Spa Therapy and hosted at a different spa each year. It's been going for four years now, and gets more popular all the time.
One of the women who attended it last year called the retreat a temporary escape from the craziness of day-to-day spa operations in a setting that offers spa directors an inside peek at other famous facilities. If your spa director goes on one of these retreats, she'll benefit in a number of ways:
Ms. X must have ended up working in the spa, with you, for a reason. I hope that reason is not simply to have you fired. In fact, I'm sure it's not. From what you've told me, she's someone who is a little unsure of herself and is looking for a way to really make a mark with her career. She's probably a great spa director in disguise. If she gets the chance to see her own hopes and aspirations reflected in the eyes of all those fellow female spa directors, chances are she'll come back a kinder, gentler boss
A Seminar Vacation
The other way you can approach this director dilemma is from your own end. What can you do to change the dynamic in the soured relationship? If I were you, Lou, I'd think about going on a retreat, too. What I have in mind isn't so relaxing, perhaps, as a four-day trip to a luxury spa, but it's something from which you'll gain tremendously. Maybe it will even send you in a new direction in your career. I'm thinking about a four-day seminar for people in the spa industry who want to learn more about the nuts and bolts of how spas work. Now that you're a supervisor, rather than "just" a therapist, you know that there's a lot more to spas than just making people feel good on a table. The business is intense, and there's a lot to know. That's where the seminar comes in. It will teach you things you never even thought about in terms of spa management , operations, staff issues, budgets, and other topics you might have thought you didn't care about but now realize are extremely important. Who knows, maybe it will even help you move quickly into an upper position yourself some day. It's happened before.
I suggest you find out more about these seminars, and plan your next vacation around one. They range in price, and are given in different parts of the country, which means you'll have to travel, but the investment in your career will probably pay off many times over. Several companies offer this type of advanced spa education, like Preston Wynne, the Bramham Institute, and Cosmopro. There's sure to be one that works for you, and no matter which one you chose, it's bound to give you a better understanding of your newly adopted industry.
A Spa Gap?
You know the old cliché, "East is east and west is west, and never the twain shall meet"? Well, some people think that's true of spa directors and spa employees. There's just too much of a gap, they say, between management and line staff for them ever to see eye-to-eye. However, I feel that there's a lot of room for communication, and if proactive people such as yourself take responsibility and learn how to see things from the other person's perspective and your own, it will make for a better working environment for everyone.
Talk to you later,
Steve Capellini, LMT

Why Sustainability Leadership Requires Advocacy
The continued downward slide of government leadership in driving the sustainability agenda forward, coupled with lackluster policy and advocacy engagement from the private sector, is the inconvenient truth revealed in this year's GlobeScan / SustainAbility Survey, The 2014 Sustainability Leaders.
While a clear majority of experts see collaboration with governments as the "most effective" approach companies can take to creating pro-sustainability policies, less than a third believe companies will engage in this manner, as noted in our 2012 Collaborating for a Sustainable Future report.
Business leaders are aware of this concerning state of affairs: only 33 percent of CEOs surveyed in the 2013 UN Global Compact-Accenture CEO study (PDF) believe business is doing enough to address key sustainability issues. This is especially disconcerting considering the dire scientific evidence and humanitarian crises that demand greater corporate sustainability leadership.
One key, often under-discussed weapon in the corporate sustainability arsenal is advocacy — specifically, leveraging corporate government relations teams to consistently spearhead change at a systems level. Despite progress made by initiatives spearheaded across the private sector, from ecoMagination to Plan A, it is widely acknowledged that key policy shifts are required to unlock the innovation and investments necessary to creating truly sustainable economies and communities. In fact, 83 percent of CEOs (PDF) see government policymaking as "critical" to sustainability progress.
With millions of people literally made ill by unjust and unsustainable "value" chains, it's time CSOs and corporate government relations departments practice CPR: connect, prioritize, retool.
Many government relations professionals do not have regular, ongoing dialogues with their sustainability colleagues. As a result, they are often unaware of how to best support key sustainability objectives. As a first step, we need to get these professionals talking to each other.
Government relations' priorities are often dominated by managing regulatory risk and securing favorable economic incentives for their company. However, if we are to tap into the true potential of corporate sustainability leadership, these priorities must broaden (or shift) to address systems-level issues that are at the heart of sustainability crises. From agriculture policies that stymie the development of local food systems to energy regulations that thwart the expansion of clean energy, opportunities for corporate sustainability leaders to engage policymakers on the big-ticket items will move us from incremental improvements to game-changing progress.
That said, like any business unit, government relations will focus on the short list of priorities it receives from above. As such, senior leadership needs to prioritize sustainability objectives as a core piece of government relation's mission.
Advocacy and engaging governments are some of the most effective ways for companies to drive transformative change and unlock the promise of sustainability. Retooling government relations departments to embrace this role is key to success. The vast majority of corporate government relations staff are talented policy wonks and political insiders with a host of skills — but rarely do these teams include sustainability experts. Arming government relations teams with the personnel, resources and relationships necessary to drive sustainability-focused campaigns is critical.
Looking back at sustainability leadership, we've seen a transition from B2B dominance (think Dow, DuPont and BP mitigating risk and improving environmental health and safety performance) to the proliferation of B2C initiatives that have responded to and shaped the expanding concept of corporate sustainability.
The next phase of sustainability leadership no doubt will be claimed by those who help fix the policy roadblocks currently in our way.

text: National VIDEO: Airstrikes Hit ISIS Convoy Fleeing Fallujah By Merrit Kennedy • 14 minutes ago The U.S.-led coalition and the Iraqi military say they have hit two ISIS convoys in Iraq, and they say hundreds of the militant group's vehicles were destroyed. As NPR's Alice Fordham tells our Newscast unit, "two large groups of ISIS fighters have been hit this week in the western province of Anbar." Adnan Syed, Subject Of 'Serial' Podcast, Will Get A New Trial By Bill Chappell • 16 minutes ago Months after he was granted a new hearing because of new evidence, Adnan Syed, whose 2000 murder conviction was a key focus of the hit podcast Serial, has been granted a new trial, according to his attorneys. Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Martin Welch vacated Syed's conviction, saying in a memorandum that his attorney "fell below the standard of reasonable professional judgment" in handling his case. Announcing the news Thursday, attorney Justin Brown tweeted in all-caps: "WE WON A NEW TRIAL FOR ADNAN SYED!!!" Encore: 'Future Shock' 40 Years Later By Martin Kaste • 1 hour ago Future Shock by Alvin Toffler was a huge sensation when it was published in 1970. The book perfectly captured the angst of that time and prepared society for more changes to come. Toffler died on Monday at the age of 87.

On LA's Skid Row, Homeless Women Seek Shelter From The Streets By Gloria Hillard • 1 hour ago Holding the coffee she received at Los Angeles's Downtown Women's Center, Sylvia Welker steers her electric wheelchair toward the curb. It's at this spot every day that she feeds the pigeons of LA's Skid Row. "The birds are maimed and deformed and beat and dying and hurting," Welker says. "I'm scared for the birds, but for me, I learned not to be afraid. It doesn't do any good. Fear isn't going to change anything." By taking care of the birds, the 71-year-old Welker keeps her mind off the dangers she and other homeless women face here.

How Therapy Became A Hobby Of The Wealthy, Out Of Reach For Those In Need By April Dembosky • 1 hour ago There's something that really bothers Stanford psychiatry professor Keith Humphreys. When he thinks of all the years he has spent training the next generation of psychiatrists, the enormous investment in medical school and residency, he wants those doctors to devote that education to taking care of people with serious mental illness. Pentagon Says Transgender Troops Can Now Serve Openly By Merrit Kennedy • 3 hours ago U.S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter says the military is lifting a ban on transgender service members. "Effective immediately, transgender Americans may serve openly, and they can no longer be discharged or otherwise separated from the military just for being transgender," he told reporters today at the Pentagon. The fundamental reason for the change, Carter said, is "that the Defense Department and the military need to avail ourselves of all talent possible in order to remain what we are now – the finest fighting force the world has ever known."

A former SAC Capital Advisors manager in Hong Kong plans to launch a hedge fund of his own, focused on Greater China.
Ken Xu's unnamed firm will offer its maiden hedge fund at the end of this year or early next year, Reuters reports. The fund will follow a long/short equity strategy; other details, including fundraising target, were unclear.
Xu left SAC, now called Point72 Asset Management, earlier this month. He spent three years at the firm, which pleaded guilty to insider-trading charges last year.
Prior to joining SAC, Xu worked at Och-Ziff Capital Management, where he was co-head of Greater China equity long/short investments.

Tom Humphrey files this report. There was some drama involving e-mails, high-profile lobbyists, and an exchange between an AT&T lobbyist and Sen. Tim Burchett (R-Knoxville), who objected to being called an "obstructionist." He voted against the bill in the committee.
One amendment would establish a new cable control board with representatives from local governments in addition to state officials. The original proposal would have put cable franchises under control of the Tennessee Regulatory Agency.
The bill cleared the committee by a vote of 6-3. Voting for the bill were Senators Beavers, Bunch, Crutchfield, Southerland, Stanley, and Wilder. Voting against were Senators Burchett, Burks, and Tate.
The House Commerce Committee deferred action again. It has previously cleared the House Utilities, Banking, and Small Business sub-committee.
The KNS has another editorial today with what sounds like a lukewarm endorsement of the AT&T proposal in order to promote more broadband access. We agree with the KNS on expanding broadband access. We wonder if this bill will actually do that (see links below for background).
For example, we live in a relatively new development. We have been begging BellSouth, now AT&T, for DSL service for more than three years and still can't get it. We are inside the city limits with all new infrastructure and utilities. We are exactly the kind of neighborhood where you would expect AT&T to "cherry pick".
And in fact they have been invited by the City to submit a proposal for their new cable/broadband service, but as far as we know they have not responded. They could move into our area with their service any time they want, with or without a statewide franchise, but they won't. They won't even provide basic DSL.
How exactly does this increase competition again?
Previous posts about the bill can be found here and here.
My prediction: This bill will eventually pass this time around because of the intense lobbying effort and the massive "voter education" campaign that has convinced everyone that "competition" is good and will benefit them.
UPDATE: Joe Powell has more.
Big Picture
I still maintain AT&T's proposal is not about broadband access, it's rescuing AT&T's landline POTS business via bundled services (POTS + cellular + broadband + cable TV). Landline phone service is becoming obsolete because of VOIP and ever decreasing cell phone charges. In areas covered by cable TV, there's no longer need for landline. If AT&T cannot break into cable TV business, it'll lose POTS customers entirely. By offering bundled services, AT&T can underprice cable TV companies and give its landline business some reprieve.
Landline phone service is
Landline phone service is becoming obsolete because of VOIP and ever decreasing cell phone charges. In areas covered by cable TV, there's no longer need for landline.
Well, don't get too wrapped around the axle pondering terms like VOIP. Wireline service is still required for a lot of applications -- especially broadband Internet access. I resell a lot of Cisco VOIP to businesses on behalf of the phone company, and billing for wireline access doesn't decrease after you migrate from a traditional premises-based TDM solution like a key system or PBX. LD charges, maybe. Not access.
Residential service does represent a big portion of carrier revenue, but business service is still huge, and is still dependent on wireline (FXO, PRI, T1, T3, OC-n, Metro Ethernet, DWDM). Wireless is only a supplement for most businesses, and the ability to carry 10G on wireless (locally, let alone over long hauls) is a loooooooooong way off.
And there are things like home alarm services that still primarily piggyback on wireline phone service. There's a number of reasons for that, but chief among those reasons is that a phone line typically doesn't lose power in an emergency. You can buy yourself a UPS or generator for supplementary power for your IP phone service, but that's a mere fraction of the backup capacity of most Bell central offices (entire floors of DC power in batteries, diesel backup).
And E911 service over VOIP still has significant limitations. If I was, for example, taking care of an elderly relative, there's no way I'd rely on Vonage or Skype for my home phone service.
Don't be sounding the death knell for the PSTN (public switched tel network). It ain't happening any time soon.
If AT&T cannot break into cable TV business, it'll lose POTS customers entirely. By offering bundled services, AT&T can underprice cable TV companies and give its landline business some reprieve.
I think that one of the components of the AT&T/Bell merger was a requirement to offer unbundled (meaning: without requiring that you have dial tone) DSL Internet access. They didn't offer that before because of parity requirements (i.e. Bell would have to offer unbundled DSL at wholesale rates to competitors using Bell facilities under the UNE-P regime). For what it's worth.
"Some days I'm afraid I'll go berserk, rip the Elvis Costello mobile down from the ceiling, throw the "Country Artists (Male) A-K" rack out into the street, go off to work at a Virgin Megastore, and never look back."
Yeah, I wonder about that
Yeah, I wonder about that too. I wonder if that's why we can't get DSL. Like maybe they are waiting to get the go ahead to put in their new broadband video (which they have already been invited to do by our local govt.), and tack on the internet access and VOIP, thus leapfrogging the need to roll out DSL or even maintain the POTS any more.
I had an installer at my
I had an installer at my house trying to get DSL working at the rate promised. Not only could he not get it working at that speed...He couldn't get it to work at all, and the guy in the central office screwed up my phone line so badly it took a week of yelling and finally a call to an insider I know personally to get it fixed.
While we were talking he said the other employees of AT&T/BS joked about the broadband bill. "We can't even make this stuff work. How are we going to handle what they're promising, now? We can't do it...It won't work."
Oh, and by the way... We are
Oh, and by the way...
We are working on a wireless braodband system in West Roane County. Gueass who we're waiting on? Yep...ATT/BS to get their T1 lines working.
thus leapfrogging the need
thus leapfrogging the need to roll out DSL or even maintain the POTS any more.
Well, one, POTS is a tariffed and regulated service (FCC and TRA). It has to be offered.
As for DSL, I can almost guarantee you that it's a cap-ex issue. Capital spending is throttled in the wake of the AT&T/Bell merger, and often, retrofitting points of presence for DSLAMs requires some up-front outlay, especially if the cable-footage to the nearest CO is too much of a reach.
"Some days I'm afraid I'll go berserk, rip the Elvis Costello mobile down from the ceiling, throw the "Country Artists (Male) A-K" rack out into the street, go off to work at a Virgin Megastore, and never look back."

We are about 4 miles from SCB by road, about 2.5 as the crow flies.
There are 350-400 homes total in this and the adjoining neighborhood. They laid fiber down our street about a year ago.
I don't get it.
If they put down any
If they put down any fiberoptics, they may be waiting til they can roll out a decent fiber network plan. Lightspeed, I think? If that's the case, they really don't want to invite anyone to start with DSL.
DSL goes over copper. Thanks to government intervention after that whole giant telephony monopoly thing, those who own and maintain copper can't actually control anything about it -- they have to provide access to other companies at a "reasonable" cost.
On the other hand, if the homeowner doesn't object, they have the option of removing any cable they own or even simply letting it decay when a home goes over to a fiberoptic connection. Since fiber doesn't have to be shared, this is a much preferable option.
As for VoiP... most networking setups for home installations with VoiP come with ~4-6 hours of battery backup, and with the ATA providing power to conventional phones, I think it's a reasonably mature technology. The e911 issue is a problem, but one that is increasingly possible to fix over time.
Thanks to government
Thanks to government intervention after that whole giant telephony monopoly thing, those who own and maintain copper can't actually control anything about it -- they have to provide access to other companies at a "reasonable" cost.
Uh, not so much. UNE-P was rolled back some time ago. As of a 2003 FCC ruling, "reasonable" cost is now "negotiated" cost.
Unbundled Network Element Platform (UNE-P) Issue – The Commission finds that switching - a key UNE-P element - for business customers served by high-capacity loops such as DS-1 will no longer be unbundled based on a presumptive finding of no impairment. Under this framework, states will have 90 days to rebut the national finding. For mass market customers, the Commission sets out specific criteria that states shall apply to determine, on a granular basis, whether economic and operational impairment exists in a particular market. State Commissions must complete such proceedings within 9 months. Upon a state finding of impairment, the Commission sets forth a 3 year period for carriers to transition off of UNE-P.
UNE-P required ILECs to sell at wholesale rates that were below recovered cost. (Although you can effectively argue that copper that's been in the ground for 20-50 years has been nothing but pure profit since year 3 or 4. Semantics.)
"Equal access" provisions still apply, yes. But Ma Bell still gets paid if you're buying dial-tone from XO. And Cox and Comcast pay Ma Bell too, I'm pretty sure, through fees for SS7 access and for switched call termination.
On the other hand, if the homeowner doesn't object, they have the option of removing any cable they own or even simply letting it decay when a home goes over to a fiberoptic connection.
It's still up to the telco how they choose to roll out the service. AT&T's Uverse will likely be based on an FTTC design. It's much cheaper to deploy, and faster to get to market. And it will come fastest where facilities already exist.
The e911 issue is a problem, but one that is increasingly possible to fix over time.
But it's all based on customer intervention if you have to make an equipment change. That problem hasn't been licked. Let's say your ATA dies, and you replace it. You don't inform your provider. You dial 911. The PS/ALI (private switch/automatic location identifier) information won't get forwarded to the E911 center, because there's no record of your ATA in the VOIP E911 database.
That's a lot of trust to invest in an end user community where many still can't figure out how to reset a VCR clock.

Cable companies recieved STATEWIDE FRANCHISING for voice several years ago by the TN General Assembly. Now they don't want to allow Phone companies to do the same for video. Want to bet if this bill passes Cable will apply for a state wide video franchise as well. My point is cable companies have no valid argument. If local governments are held harmless and given some concessions, then what will the argument be? The only thing left is Cable does not want competition.

We heard you the first seven times.
I don't care what cable did. I dont' think any cable/telco should have statewide franchises that take away local control and revenues, take away local control of rights of way (like your front yard), take away build-out requirements, and take away regulation of customer service standards.
But you are correct that it's a safe bet cable companies will take advantage of this law when it passes. Wonder how long their local contracts are for?
I was under the impression
I was under the impression that most U-verse FTTN rollout had already been completed, and that their expansion effort had moved more to FTTP construction. Fiber to the basement has some advantages compared to FTTN, and thanks to today's passive, unpowered filtering devices, the cost difference isn't nearly as large as it used to be.
The rise in copper prices and related rates of theft might have to do something with it.
I've seen some technical work done to use the IP addresses rather than any CID/DID information held on the ATA. It's not an elegant solution, but for something that came from the Asterisk community, it's remarkably effective.
I'm also a little suspicious of individuals that can diagnose an issue, purchase the correct replacement, and configure said replacement personally, but not have read enough. At least with Asterisk and Cisco CallManager, you need to at least have information regarding the extension and its secret, not to mention a half-dozen bits of information regarding the PBX itself.
I strongly suspect those who can't master a VCR will find themselves simply contacting tech support if their calls go kaput. By the time it simplifies enough for an end-user to replace it, there are ways to get around the problem.
I didn't know about the UNE-P change. Strange, because I've been hearing folk complain about having to share copper recently. I suppose anything that reduces the cost of going to a different telco is probably a bad thing for them.

That may work in Richardson, TX. Maybe not so much in Nashville, TN. Different substrata. I don't know about your house, but I'm about 1' over bedrock. I'd rather not have my lawn and every road in the neighborhood torn up to have service re-provisioned (and remember, one of the biggest cap-ex components in special construction is not glass; it's labor). Aerial fiber is a possibility, but has its drawbacks.

Well, right. But if you're using IP, you need to associate the MAC address of the ATA with the emergency responder's outbound PS/ALI info (unless you're allocating static IPs, where most ISPs opt for DHCP or DHCP/PPPoE). I think that's how Comcast Digital Voice works. That's all manual entry, and it goes blank if you put in a device with an unknown MAC. There's all sorts of disclaimers (and implied waivers) about you moving or replacing a device.

If those "folk" are AT&T-badged, yes, they're still required to share copper (and optical) facilities with CLECs, but AT&T is now paid a negotiated price, rather than a TRA/FCC-mandated one. That will cut into CLEC margins, but then AT&T isn't forced to compete as heavily on price for like service, albeit on sometimes radically unequal pricing terms. (USLEC/Paetec would probably pay a lower per-unit price than a Mom-n-Pop ISP, but term and volume discounts apply, blah blah blah.)
What's probably happening is that you've got, say, a USLEC customer with an expiring ISDN-PRI contract, and that customer is finding that they're not getting the write-down on renewal that they used to. There's not enough margin left. Then, when the customer shops the price around, there's a lot more price parity in the market for that service -- since AT&T was quick to renegotiate rates with every CLEC when the UNE-P rule changed.

David Perchon admonished naysayers to "grow up" and allow pubs for
neighbors to gather and visit within walking distance of their homes.
So you're not a real grown up until you have a pub next to your home? I'm not sure where he lives, but, I'm tired of the drug houses, meth labs, gangs and know we have the legal addition of pubs next door to help us "grow up". David Perchon needs to live next to some of these road home shelters, low income apartments and enjoy the usual night shouting matches, knife stabbings, drug deals and then hop right on over and have a cold adult beverage at the corner pub. Because that is what grown ups do.
The city can't even maintain control of the issues that face it now. How is it planning on dealing with the nuisance of these pubs/clubs etc?
I guess neighbors will get to petition the police who ignore them, then petition the council for 5 years and then finally they move on removing the nuisance. Meanwhile that is alot of time, energy, and nusiance that residential neighborhoods get to deal with. But that's grown up.

It is a mistake to assume that content development is an assumed talent, or that it can be an afterthought in the digital marketing realm. Content strategy is more than writing for the web. There is a science and strategy behind developing quality content for web pages, blogs, advertisements and social media. And although every successful copywriter must have a foundation of basics writing skills, such as subject matter expertise, an engaging style and tone, and basic grammar usage, there is much more to being a content king.
