How Macquarie Telecom Group creates the world's best customer experience
Feature | 30 March 2021
David Tudehope, co-founder and CEO at Macquarie Telecom Group, says a completely transparent and brutally honest approach to customer service has been critical to its industry-leading net promoter scores and award-winning customer experience
David Tudehope, co-founder and CEO at Macquarie Telecom Group, started the business alongside his brother Aidan Tudehope (currently the Managing Director, Government & Hosting Group at Macquarie Telecom Group) in 1992 with their personal savings. He has since guided the company's development from a provider of voice services to a fully integrated carrier and highly successful ASX listed company specialising in cloud services, cyber security, telecommunications and data centres.
Mr Tudehope graduated from UNSW Business School with a Bachelor of Commerce in 1990 and is currently a member of the UNSW Business Advisory Council. He recently spoke to UNSW Business School's Frederik Anseel, Professor of Management and Associate Dean Research, about Macquarie Telecom Group's approach to creating an exceptional customer experience, managing business growth through challenging times and innovation in the competitive and fast-moving world of cyber security.
Creating an exceptional customer experience
Customer service is at the heart of Macquarie Telecom Group's business model and commercial success. Both the company and Mr Tudehope have won multiple awards for their customer service and leading Net Promoter Scores (NPS) – a commonly used metric for measuring how likely an organisation's customers are to recommend a product or service to others based on their own experience.
With a world-leading NPS of +71, Mr Tudehope said the customer experience is a critical driver of growth in Macquarie Telecom Group. "Our business is built around a why, our purpose, which is to make a difference in markets that are underserved and overcharged," said Mr Tudehope. Macquarie Telecom Group's customers include a wide range of small, mid-sized and large businesses and the company offers a range of services to meet the growing needs of global "hyperscalers", private cloud, enterprise and government customers. The last segment is particularly important for Macquarie Telecom Group, which helps many federal and state government agencies meet their cyber security and data sovereignty requirements.
In recognition of Macquarie Telecom Group's focus on customer experience, Mr Tudehope was awarded CEO of the Year at the World Communication Awards while Macquarie Telecom Group was also awarded the Best Customer Experience of the Year. Today, Macquarie Telecom Group has the highest NPS of any ASX-listed company and this is reflected in its share price growth. Over the past three years this has risen 83 per cent (versus an overall decline of 18 per cent across other telcos) and the company delivered its sixth consecutive year of profitable growth in its most recent FY20 results.

Reflecting on Macquarie Telecom Group's growth, Mr Tudehope wishes he had adopted NPS sooner. "It took a couple of years for us to adopt it fully," he said. There were a number of important steps and ideas in this process – one of them being "complete transparency" which Mr Tudehope says is "one of the bits of magic in our success with the Net Promoter Score".
Customer experience is at the centre of decision-making in Macquarie Telecom Group, from product releases and staff hiring profiles, through to staff incentives and even critical infrastructure spend (such as Macquarie Telecom Group's recent $100 million investment into sovereign government and enterprise data centres in Australia). The business' customer experience program (known as the Heartbeat program internally) encourages Macquarie's entire team to delight customers and literally do the opposite of industry counterparts in an industry historically known for poor customer service.
Prof. Anseel reflected on Mr Tudehope's approach and said Macquarie Telecom Group's application of NPS is strategically focused. "I think there are some very powerful lessons here because a lot of companies are using the Net Promoter Score. But it's sometimes not as tightly linked to purpose, and then it's not as tightly linked to what you do in terms of feedback and transparency – and a lot of companies now talk about feedback and transparency," said Prof. Anseel. "But what you do is really, really thorough."
Innovation and cyber security trends
Innovation is a constant focus for Macquarie Telecom Group, and Mr Tudehope said this has been inspired in part by research in organisational behaviour. "We think a lot about the challenges of innovating constantly; we're personally a big fan of Michael Tushman's research in this space around innovating through change. Our model is to look globally for what trends are likely to impact the industry in Australia," explained Mr Tudehope.
"Finding your way through that … is actually quite challenging, particularly for some of our businesses in cloud and cyber security – things move there in months, maybe a year at a time. So you don't want to miss a trend, and if you do you've only got a few months to pick up on it and adapt… the importance of adapting is so critical," he said.
Macquarie Telecom Group has adopted a number of processes to adapt to these changes. Every six months, for example, Mr Tudehope's team selects one or two significant trends and conducts "innovation study exercises" which involve a cross-functional project with six to ten people across the organisation. "We focus deeply on that trend; we visit the leading vendors behind the technology. We visit businesses like ours that don't compete with us overseas. We talk to consultants, and we just go deep. And for a few weeks, we eat, sleep and live that trend. We only find that by that level of immersion, do we get the true insights," said Mr Tudehope.

In assessing these major market trends, Mr Tudehope said there are a number of key developments in cyber security. But he warned that it is increasingly important for businesses to see the "magic is in cyber security operations" – and not in fancy hardware and software which organisations sometimes too willingly splurge on in the hope of defending against cyberattacks.
"Our businesses put their energy into not creating a new firewall or some new software or hardware, but rather developing sophisticated operational procedures and growing our cyber security professional talent internally. And we think that is more important than the latest device. It's like a mousetrap: it's one thing to buy the fastest mousetrap with the best spring, but if you don't replace the cheese for a year, if there's a dead mouse in it from six months ago, there are no mice that are going to walk through that mousetrap. And if they do, nothing's going to happen," he said.
"Mousetrap maintenance is far more important than what most corporates, and sometimes government – especially state government – think about, which is this capital purchase, and the consulting firm that's going to install it," he said.
Managing growth through challenging times
Prof. Anseel also observed that many start-ups and the entrepreneurs behind them often struggle to manage growth. "There are obstacles when growing the company," said Prof. Anseel, who observed that as start-ups grow they often encounter structural problems, bureaucracy, red tape, and other internal and external challenges.
Mr Tudehope spoke about his experience in starting Macquarie Telecom Group and sustaining growth over the past 28 years. "In those days, there were very few early-stage funding options at all," he said. As a result, the business had to be very cost-aware, have a good credit standing, and be very focused on customer quality right from the beginning. "We're very focused on cash collections cost management. So that really gave us an anchor point that helped us, right the way through our journey for the past 28 years," he said.
This approach has worked very well for the business, which recently surpassed the $1 billion market capitalisation milestone, cementing its place amongst Australia's biggest homegrown technology companies. According to Mr Tudehope, the company's performance through 2020 is evidence that it has focused on the right strategic and operational priorities over the years.
"We've invested in certain things like data centres, cloud computing and cyber security. That actually accelerated in 2020... this really has brought the future closer, and really validated some of our investments," said Mr Tudehope, who noted Macquarie Telecom Group's experience was probably very different to many other businesses in 2020.
"When I've talked to business people who go on their own journeys, I think people tend to focus on the very early stage. But the journey in the middle I think, is the one we found the most challenging but probably the one less talked about," he added.

Though the northern winds blaw freezy, freenship warms baith you and me.
Happy we've been aa thegither, canty we've been yin and aa.
Wha can fill his woes wi pleisure, as aroond us here we see?
Can the peer in silk and ermine, ca his conscience half his ain?
His claes are edged and spun wi vermin though he sits upon a throne.
Thus then let us aa be tassin, though ower the stoops o generous fame.
And while roon the board is passin, raise a sang in freenship's name.
Freenship … maks us aa mair happy, freenship ... gies us aa delight.
Freenship consecrates the drappie, freenship brocht us here the night.
She also helped us to make sense of verse 4, beginning "Thus then let us a' be tassin" and suggested that though the "tass" might be meant for wine or spirits, ordinary folk could enjoy drinking "stoops o generous fame" – jugs or flagons of foaming ale.
Willie Scott was befriended by singer Alison McMorland whose book Herd Laddie of the Glen: songs of a Border shepherd records his life and repertoire of songs. Geordie McIntyre who wrote the notes for the 2006 revised version of Herd Laddie of the Glen, points out that where Lyric Gems has 4 verses and chorus, Willie had an extra verse, verse 3 "Can the peer in silk and ermine".
"In Freenship's Name" appears in Lyric Gems, Series 2, (1856) as "Here around the ingle bleezin". The air is given as "Willie was a wanton wag" but this is not Willie Scott's tune. It is also interesting (if confusing) to note that in Lyric Gems, the 2nd line of verse four is given as 'Aff oor stoops o' gen'rous flame' – not fame. The folk process at work.


So I noticed yesterday that when I type in cheats in my game they do not work. I typed in the skills cheats and nothing happened. I read a tweet by SimGuruGrant that the cheats were disabled and that they are working on it. Does anyone know when will cheats work again?
Some of the cheats EA took out with the Seasons release. According to them, they are working on providing the cheats as a drop down menu later on. However, T-Mex updated his mod all cheats available for Seasons, that would be your choice for now. With his mod all cheats can be type and work as usual. The mod is called Tmex-Allcheats.

Did anybody (except me here) consider the possibility that they took out (some) cheats in order to help increase "engagement" with the game? After all, quite a lot of players seem to power through the game by cheating themselves to Lv.10 in all skills, and many other things, which of course will make the game quicker to play through.
True, their excuse was that by using those cheats they took out, people were messing up the game and they could not help them or offer them support. That was a first for them, since I never heard them say something like that for Sims 3.

Credentials: An accomplished author and consultant, David Owens teaches courses in product development, change management, and innovation at Vanderbilt's University's Owen Graduate School of Management. He also oversees the school's Executive Development Institute. Before entering academia, Owens served as the CEO of Griffin Technology, which markets accessories for smartphones and mobile devices. Owens also performed product design work for firms ranging from Apple to Daimler Benz to Corning. He earned a Ph.D. from Stanford and is the author of Creative People Must Be Stopped!.
Graded: There are two tracks available in this course. To earn a Statement of Accomplishment, participants must complete all assignments and exercises and contribute to discussion board discussions. A "Statement of Accomplishment-With Distinction" is available to students who also complete a team-based innovation project.
Description: How do the best companies innovate? Despite paying lip service to the concept, many companies kill their best ideas. While many might blame "the process," most creative solutions are stifled by something more difficult to influence: People. To overcome people hurdles, this course identifies several areas where idea formulation, evaluation, and execution can be bottlenecked. In particular, it explores our personal constraints and (intelligence, persuasive skills) and the threats inherent to group dynamics (groupthink, fear and ego). The course will also explore how problem-solving can be undercut by people's perceptions of organizational operations (structure and strategy), technology (capabilities and expertise), and the marketplace (openness to change).
During this course, students will learn how to manage peers, superiors, and business partners and help them embrace innovation. Each week, students will watch lecture videos, along with completing readings, quizzes, and individual and group assignments. At the end, students will understand what conditions foster innovation; how innovation and change initiatives can be undermined; and how to gain buy in and maintain creative momentum over time.
Additional Note: Owens also encourages students to read Creative People Must Be Stopped! to explore innovation concepts and applications in greater depth.

About TIGER
What are powder coatings?
Powder coatings are solvent-free - in contrast to liquid coatings - and are comprised of solid synthetic resins, pigments and special additives. They are perfectly suited for use as high-quality coatings of metal substrates in the construction industry for example. Powder coatings are manufactured in three steps: pre-mixing of raw materials, extrusion and micronization, which results in a fine powder. The powder particles are then processed into a certain size distribution.
Powder coatings are applied by means of electrostatic spray-guns, then melted and chemically cross-linked at workpiece temperatures of between 160 and 200° C. The resulting coating has thermosetting qualities, meaning that curing forms an irreversible chemical bond, in contrast to thermoplastic materials. The resulting powder coating films can withstand the most extreme conditions and are adaptable to a wide range of both functional and decorative purposes. In contrast to liquid paints, powder coatings can be used to obtain coating thicknesses of approximately 50-100 μm in a single application. With preheated workpieces coating thicknesses of up to 300 μm are possible. In the case of liquid paints dry films with a maximum thickness of only 30 μm can be obtained with a single coat.
What is the difference between standard facade powder and weather-resistant powder coating?
Various quality levels of powder are available for finishing surfaces of architectural objects and facades that protect the building facade optimally from weather, UV exposure and climate changes. TIGER superdurable powder coatings are perfect for the supreme discipline of facade coating. They are characterized by high UV resistance that ensures that colors and effects still shine even after many years.
Does TIGER Drylac® meet the criteria of DGNB, ÖGNI, BREEAM and LEED?
The product series of the TIGER Drylac® brand are free of solvents, lead, cadmium and chromium IV compounds and therefore absolutely green. Thus, our coating solutions meet all criteria of the above-mentioned associations for sustainable building.
Which materials can be coated?
Powder coating is primarily used on aluminum, steel and galvanized steel. After proper preparation of the substrate and customized further treatment, it is possible to use powder coating for finishing MDF (medium density wood-fiber board), flat glass and ceramics.
How large is the area I can coat with 1 kg powder?
The exact surface dimension depends on the density of the product in question. On average, you can finish roughly 5 to 7 m2 of surface with one kilogram of TIGER powder.
Are all products from the Color Selector in stock?
Yes! The entire standard portfolio of TIGER includes over 1,300 products in stock. Our TAS Team looks forward to assisting you with your selection of color, effect or structure and will provide information about the different series, quality standards and coverage.
What are the sizes of TIGER sample sheets available?
Our standard products TIGER Drylac® series 14 and 29 are available in 147 x 74 mm. We'll be happy to send you larger sheets measuring 300 x 200 mm on request. For the highly weather-resistant series 68, we can also deliver sample sheets measuring 300 x 200 mm on short notice.
Cannot find the product you want in our portfolio?
No problem! TIGER will prepare customized shades according to RAL, NCS or Pantone in the desired surface and gloss level for you. Contact us!
What is the price of developing a customized product?
Please contact our TAS Team to obtain non-binding pricing information. We look forward to your inquiry and will respond to it in person or via phone.
Recommendations for cleaning
Valuable tips for cleaning and recommendations for a long life of your facades and architectural objects: cleaning recommendation.
How environmentally friendly are powder coatings?
Powder coatings are solvent-free and therefore extremely friendly to the environment. Powder application does not pollute the air and does not contaminate soil or groundwater. Considering industrial coatings of metal substrates, powder coatings already make a significant contribution toward establishing a sustainable coating industry. With its technological breakthrough in new application areas such as wood-based products, glass and plastics, TIGER makes worldwide efforts to go beyond the powder coating of traditional metal substrates.
Which pretreatment is required?
All substrates require proper pretreatment. The process used depends on the type of material, the specific application, climate and environment. For exterior application an appropriate pretreatment of the substrate is essential. For environmental reasons, chrome-free chemical pretreatments are increasingly important because of the toxicity concerns of the hexavalent chrome (= Cr6+). TIGER provides powder coatings fully compatible with chrome-free pretreatment systems and in conformity to GSB, QUALICOAT and AAMA industrial coating standards.
You have questions concerning pretreatment? Please contact us!
Which advantages do powder coatings offer?
- Environmentally friendly because powder coatings are solvent-free
- Application of a single coat can achieve a thickness of approximately 50 to 100 μm
- High mechanical resistance
- Excellent edge protection
- Optimum results after application of a single coat
- Efficient use of material - up to 98% - due to recovery of overspray
- Economic solution in terms of material usage and application costs
TIGER DRYLAC® Production Process
TIGER DRYLAC® Application Process
Exterior & Interior Application
Application on Aluminum
The natural protection of aluminum against rust and corrosion can be improved with various types of surface pretreatment. Powder coating technology for aluminum is one of the most proven processes available. It increases the material's long term resistance and opens up a wide range of design possibilities. With TIGER's Drylac® Powder Coatings all national and international coating norms, as well as the widely recognized industrial quality standards AAMA, GSB, QUALICOAT will be met.
If you have any questions about preparation and pretreatment, please don't hesitate to ask our TAS-Team. They are happy to help!
Application on Galvanized & Unprotected Steel
For design requirements, e.g. colors and metallic effects, the subsequent powder coating is an excellent method of further increasing the corrosion protection, as well as meeting the esthetic needs. Powder coating of galvanized steel requires careful preparation and pretreatment of the surface to ensure optimum adhesion of the coating and full corrosion protection. Another way of protecting steel against corrosion is to take advantage of the TIGER-SHIELD dual layer powder coating system. In this case, unprotected steel parts – after appropriate mechanical or chemical surface preparation – are coated with a specially formulated powder primer and then over-coated with a powder top coat. This unique process meets the concerns of steel corrosion and at the same time, allows for powder coated surfaces in a wide range of colors and metallic effects. TIGER's powder coating systems for steel comply with ISO 12944-6, ISO 20340 and DIN 55633. The highest level of corrosion resistance - up to C5 I (industry) and C5 M (maritime) as well as durability range of "high", which means durability is expected for a period of more than 15 years.

Polygon actually managed to capture 11 minutes worth of gameplay during the Day of the Devs 2015 live-stream. You can see [email protected]'s Chris Charla playing the game alongside Polygon staff in the cooperative mode. You can check out the video below.
Chris Charla tries his hand with each of the available bosses in the game in the demo build, this included an airplane segment against a giant bird in a birdhouse, the two frog brothers in the speakeasy, and the potato and carrot in the vegetable garden.
Charla doesn't do so great against any of the bosses on his own, but he's eventually joined in the cooperative mode and they manage to make decent work of the evil vegetables in the garden.
Charla mentions that the duo making the game worked with a live orchestra for the music, penciled in all the animated graphics in the game, then went over those animations with ink, and then created cells before scanning them into the computer. The whole idea was that they wanted to recreate the experience and make it as authentic as possible to cartoons made back in the 1930s.
The gameplay looks sharp and fun, and the art-style is fantastic.
Gameplay variety looks a little on the thin side but the graphics and co-op play could more than make up for it. It reminds me of something that's played for the sake of the experience and not necessarily because it has Fallout 4 levels of gameplay depth.
Even still, the game will feature a side-scrolling platforming mode in addition to the boss rush. We haven't seen any of the platforming segments yet but I can't wait to see what that's like.
Cuphead is scheduled to release sometime in 2016 for the Xbox One and the PC. It's one of the few games the Xbox One has that has a leg up over the PS4. You can keep track of the development of the title by paying a visit to the official Studio MDHR website.


Family Law, which is also referred to as Matrimonial Law, is an area of law that focuses on family matters and domestic relations. Family Law is unique because while having to guide our clients through the legal and at times life change conflict situation, we are also sensitive to the needs and requirements of simultaneously strengthening the role of the family. At Cunningham Law, we do more than just assess and advise you on your legal situation. We are here to help you make an informed decision by making you aware of options available for your specific circumstances. We are also here to help you through one of the most stressful experiences in life by being highly responsive to your sensitive and complex emotional needs. We understand the pain in family relationship breakdown and focus on solving your conflict with compassion. At the same time, we are assertive and highly skilled advocates to advance our clients' case. We strive to be responsive in the most appropriate way. It is very rewarding and heart-warming to know we've helped you through such a difficult time.
Corporate and Commercial Law forms a body of law practice that is very closely related because they both deal with the legal aspects of commerce. Corporate Law mainly focuses on internal workings of commerce – the creation and maintenance of corporations and corporate structures that must be in place prior to engaging in commerce transactions, including the buying and selling of shares and the assets of corporations. Corporate Law sets the standard on how the various parts of the corporation (shareholders, directors, employees and other stakeholders such as customers) interacts with one another both from an internal and external perspective. Commercial Law mainly focuses on many of the external workings of commerce such as the rights, duties, relationships and conduct of buyers and sellers engaged in commerce, merchandising and trade in both the private and public sector.
Wills & Estate Law serves a variety of important purposes upon the death of a loved one. It serves as the last word of the deceased as to how they want their final wishes to be handled with respect to their funeral, guardian(s) to raise their children and how their property and possessions are to be distributed. At Cunningham Law, we understand that the preparation and execution of a will can make you apprehensive but it can be of great comfort because it helps to minimize and potentially avoid the stress and worry we all experience when a loved one passes on. Being proactive, in organizing your personal affairs, for after death, can potentially save your family and friends enormous problems and expenses. At Cunningham Law, we help you with determining how your estate will be distributed between and among your heirs rather than letting the government make that determination because of the absence of a will. The drafting of your will ensures that the executor has clear directions of the fair and equitable distribution of your possessions and assets and ensures that all parties involved have their interest protected.
At Cunningham law, we have many years of employment law experience both as a representative for the employee and the employer. If you are an employee and have been terminated wrongfully and without sufficient notice, it is important that you seek independent legal advice immediately. Employment law is complex and accepting, uncontested, the proposed "severance package" may not be in your best interest. Furthermore, without independent legal counsel, you will be at a serious disadvantage in determining how to best respond to the "Release" request but more importantly determining if the proposed compensation is both fair and legal. At Cunningham Law, we understand that being wrongfully dismissed can be a traumatic emotional experience. We will help you navigate through the harsh reality of wrongful dismissals and we will fight for your rights to a fair and equitable outcome.
At Cunningham Law, we also understand the need for employers to ensure that when engaging employees or potential employees that sound legal advice is equally important. At Cunningham Law, we will guide you through the process to ensure that from a legal perspective you are protected. Whether the requirement is for a new employment contracts or termination of existing contracts and offering severance packages, we will ensure that you are compliant and meet the minimum statutory and common law obligations.
At Cunningham law, we provide a number of other ancillary services as listed here. However, we welcome the opportunity to service any of your request.

Peg Haubert , a born Wisconsinite with travel in her background as the oldest child in a military family of five children, returned to Wisconsin in the early 1960s. After moving about Wisconsin, Peg settled in Sheboygan and has worked in the Arten Soul Studio for the past eight years, while also focusing energy on building the Sheboygan art scene and informing the public about art.
many years at St. Mary's Columbia Hospital as manager of audio visual communications, followed by another decade of independent video production. Peg has always leaned more toward 2D art having earned her first commission at thirteen for the creation of a billboard for a local bait shop. Art education was sparse in her early years, thus, she taught herself much of what she knew until finally taking art classes in Milwaukee in the early 1970's thru 1980's. Peg now works as a full time artist and volunteers for the Sheboygan Visual Artists as Marketing/Communications Director.
Peg maintains that it is highly beneficial for artists to study various techniques and art styles before coming into their own unique form of expression. Thus, her work was equally influenced by the late Milwaukee Artist James Prohl, known Traditional Realist teaching classes in studio, and Kenneth Kwint, who is also a known Milwaukee artist with a unique approach to making art. Studying and practicing two completely different approaches to art enriched Peg's life and informed her artwork.
geometric shapes and forms incorporating etching, burnishing, and a wide variety of media often resulting in the look and feel of ancient artifacts. "Building a patina on the metal is the most rewarding aspect of this expression," Peg said.
series, "Painting with Fire" utilizing encaustic, an ancient media comprised of bees wax, resin and pigment. Encaustic was widely used throughout Europe and is evident in the Pyramids of Egypt and frescoes of Rome with traces found on marble statues of Greece. Encaustic, one of the oldest media discovered over 2000 years ago, is now making a comeback.

"It's exciting to be adding encaustic to my mix of media," said Haubert. "The wax has to be melted and applied hot and is then worked with heat tools including torches, heat guns, and irons. Combining metal and wax is a challenge as the metal tends to heat faster than the wax making timing critical.

DUBAZ FAMILY*
by John B. Dubaz (1929-2006)
John Dubaz (1853-1931), the progenitor of the Dubaz family of the Mississippi Coast, was born 'Giovanni Dubaz' in 1853, the son of George Dubaz in the village of Viganj on the Pelijisac Peninsula of Croatia. In April 1868, at the age of fifteen he applied for his 'permesso di vaggio', which was a permit to travel as a merchant seaman in lieu of military service or conscription. The permit was issued on the 20th day of September 1870, at the port of St. Marks at Curzola, the capital city of the island of Curzola which is known today as Korcula.
On the 16th day of November 1870 in Trieste, Italy, John Dubaz signed aboard his first ship as a common seaman. It was the Austro-Hungarian bark, Ciano. He served aboard the Ciano one year and nine months, leaving her on 11th September 1872 at Caspoli, which was Constantinople, which is known today as Istanbul. While still in Istanbul on the 24th of September 1872, he signed aboard the bark, Geisppal, serving aboard her for a period of sixteen months, during which time he was elevated to the rank of able bodied seaman.
John Dubaz left the Geisppal on January 14, 1874 at Trieste, Italy. On May 12, 1874, back at his home port of Korcula, he signed aboard the bark, Ida L and sailed to Istanbul where he left her September 23, 1876. On January 18, 1877, John boarded the bark, Presidente, bound for Marseille, France. He left the Presidente in Marseille and on 18th May, 1877, he boarded the bark, Elano, which was bound for Lovanno. He left the Elano at Venice, Italy on May 25, 1878 and signed on the bark, Ivy Kate, which was bound for his home port of Korcula. On November 22, 1879, John Dubaz signed aboard the bark, Viganj, which was named for the Croatian village of his birth.
HELMSMAN DUBAZ
After being prompted to tomoniere, which is helmsman or head steersman, John Dubaz left the Viganj at Cardiff, Wales on January 31, 1881 and boarded the bark Fabrrlon bound for New York. He arrived in New York on June 10, 1881 and eighteen days later signed aboard the bark S.S. Strossmayen bound for Tralee, Ireland. Here Helmsman Dubaz left his ship and boarded the Delmazia, a bark, bound for Glasgow, Scotland and Istanbul.
On April 17, 1884. John Dubaz debarked the Labioncello at Pensacola, Florida never again to sail the world's seas on a tall ship. Shortly after arriving in America he met and married Mary Magdlen Lee, the daughter of James and Sarah Lee. Mary or Maggie, as she was called, was seventeen years of age at the time of their nuptials. She was born November 29, 1870 and John Dubaz was eighteen years her senior. From this sacred union five sons were born in Escambia County, Florida: George Dubaz, born November 23, 1887; John Dubaz Jr., born January 26, 1890; Rudolf 'Doffie' Dubaz, born March 7, 1892; Lawrence Dubaz, born March 4, 1892; and Luke Dubaz, born February 11, 1897. Lawrence Dubaz, the fourth son, was called Larenzo, died only seven days following his birth.
* This information was compiled by John B. Dubaz, the son of John Dubaz Sr. from the permesso which he obtained in November 1979 from Mary Rose Dubaz Leahey, his cousin, the granddaughter of John Dubaz Sr.
BILOXI**
Between 1886 and 1903, John Dubaz owned two stores in Pensacola, Florida. The first was located at Romano and Alfonse, and the second was located at 10th and Gregory. In 1903, the Irving family, which was very dear friends of the Dubaz family, convinced John Dubaz that he could be very successful at Biloxi, Mississippi. He could have his store and his boys could also work in the oyster business. So he and Maggie and the boys moved to Biloxi by boat. The name of the vessel was the 'Maggie-K'. She was owned by Tom Powell and his wife who brought the family to Biloxi.
When they arrive in Biloxi in early 1903, George Dubaz was sixteen years old; John Dubaz was thirteen; Doffie was eleven; and Luke Dubaz was six. The first house that they lived in was the Wesley house at the corner of Cedar Street and East Beach. It is known today as the Holy Angels Nursery. They stayed there about one and one-half years and then moved across the street to a four-room house with a dormer. It was located where St. Michael's Catholic Church is presently located. John Dubaz then acquired a lot at 1417 East 1st Street and started building the Dubaz family residence, which was completed in 1905, at a cost of $200. The home today is owned by Aunt Lillie, the spouse of George Dubaz.
In the year 1907, the old St. Michael's Church was built across the street from the family home. The contractor was Delmas Seymour. After the church was completed, Mrs. Seymour played the piano for the church and Doffie Dubaz started taking piano lessons from her. George Dubaz then decided to take fiddle lessons so Professor Hammersbach from St. Stanislaus College came every Monday from Bay St. Louis to teach him and others music. John Dubaz took coronet and trumpet lessons. As thing turned out, all four boys became very accomplished and very popular musicians. They had their own orchestra as George played violin, Johnny played trumpet and cornet, Rudolf played trombone, piano, bass violin and alto horn while Luke was the band's drummer. Circa 1910, the Dubaz brothers joined the Biloxi Herald Band and played for many years.
SEAFOOD PACKERS
In 1914, Doffie Dubaz and Luke Dubaz decided to try the retail side of the seafood business. They opened a shop at 1417 East Beach on land owned by Charles McCaleb. George and John Dubaz joined the business in 1915 to form the first Dubaz Brothers shop. On May 17, 1915 Rudolf Dubaz, the third son, wed Ella Scanlon, the niece of Mr. and Mrs. William Martens. In 1916, the Dubaz boys relocated their business to Back Beach [Back Bay] on property owned by the Ott family.
About this time, John Dubaz Sr. closed his store next to the family home on 1st Street and it became the headquarters for the Point Cadet Social Club [PCSC]. In the latter part of 1917, the Dubaz Brothers closed their seafood shop because of WW I. George and John Dubaz enlisted in the US Army. Rudolf stayed in Biloxi and worked for the Cruso Canning Company. Luke Dubaz found work at New Orleans and Pascagoula, Mississippi at shipyards building ships for the war effort.
WW I ended in November 1918 and in 1919 the Dubaz brothers began to get reorganized in earnest as they reopened their seafood business on Back Bay and also purchased the Valpino crab shop. There were also two marriages in 1919. The second first generation marriage occurred when Luke Dubaz wedded Inez Gable, the daughter of William E. and Willomenia Gable on February 20th. A short while later the third first generation marriage took place when John Dubaz Jr,, the second son, wed Cecile Andre, the daughter of George and Laura Andre on March 3, 1919.
Shortly after these marriages, Doffie Dubaz decided to get out of the business and work for himself. In 1927, the Dubaz boys sold the two businesses on Back Beach and built a new factory on East Beach on property owned by Ernest Mladinich. They grew a fleet of eight fishing boats. John Dubaz Sr. died on February 1, 1931. Mary Magdeline Dubaz followed him in death passing on June 30, 1932. Both were interred at the Biloxi Cemetery. The fourth first generation marriage took place when George Dubaz, the oldest son, wed Lillie Wescovich, the daughter of Peter Wescovich and Mary Ellen Ross Wescovich (1881-1956) on February 24, 1937.
For the next seven years the Dubaz family prospered and the second generation was growing fast. By this time, there were five second generation marriages. In early 1944, John Dubaz Jr., my father, succumbed to an illness and never recovered. He died on July 7, 1944 and is interred at the Biloxi Cemetery. In 1969, only two of the Dubaz brothers, George and Luke, remained in the seafood business. Although Doffie Dubaz wasn't in the business, he worked right along with them. In August 1969, Hurricane Camille destroyed the their business on Biloxi's East Beach so they relocated their enterprise to Back Bay, almost exactly where it had been in 1919. In 1976 sadness again visited the Dubaz family when on January 28th, George Dubaz, the oldest son expired. He was interred in the Southern Memorial Park cemetery. As of the last day of this writing, April 19, 1980, first generation members of the John Dubaz Sr. family living are: Cecile, Rudolf, Ella, Luke, Inez and Lillie Dubaz.

It is the chilling story of surveillance, control and the betrayal of love that has unsettled readers for generations. George Orwell's classic 1984 captivated choreographer Jonathan Watkins when he was a teenager, and now he has created the first full-length ballet based on it and which had its world premiere in his native Yorkshire.
Northern Ballet brought Jonathan's ambitious and visually striking re-telling of the story to the West Yorkshire Playhouse, in Leeds, last month and the production is now touring nationally during the autumn and into spring 2016.
For Jonathan, 31, the production brings to life a project that has been bubbling away in his mind for half his life. It also brings him back to his Yorkshire roots. Jonathan was just 12 when he left his native Barnsley to attend the Royal Ballet School in London, which marked the beginning of a career that is winning him ever-increasing acclaim.
Orwell's novel about Ministry of Truth worker Winston Smith's doomed struggle against a totalitarian state which shackles its subjects under the remorseless surveillance by Big Brother struck Jonathan as perfect for his narrative approach to ballet.
'I came across it and read it, and it stuck with me from then on,' he said. 'When I went on to do more abstract things choreographically in the Royal Ballet, I touched on some of the themes in the book, like individuality.
And he believes that Orwell's world of surveillance strikes a particular chord with today's audiences accustomed to CCTV cameras and playing out their lives via social media.
The ballet unfolds against a backdrop of screens that underline how Smith and his illicit lover, Julia, risk being seen and caught by the authorities.
Bringing their story to the stage has been a lengthy process since Northern Ballet's artistic director, David Nixon, invited Jonathan to create a new work. 'I probably read the book twice before I started on this project, and then I've read it lots over the past year, and done my adaptation of it scene by scene for what's important for our production,' said Jonathan.
'That gets honed throughout the process by working with the designer on the set and questioning the world we're creating, and again working with the composer on the score and on what's going to drive the scenes and the atmosphere.
'As all those different aspects come together it channels and focuses the story so I come into rehearsals and I have very much not only a scene by scene narrative but a musical narrative as well.
The production is set to an original score by Tony-nominated composer and arranger Alex Baranowski and the creative team also includes set and costume designer Simon Daw.
Jonathan trained in Yorkshire before moving to London to study, graduating and earning a place with the Royal Ballet in 2003. His talent won him the Kenneth Macmillan Choreography Award at the age of 16 and he has since created productions for the Royal Opera House, New York City Ballet and the Ekaterinburg Ballet Theatre, in Russia.
Last year, Yorkshire audiences welcomed him home and he won critical acclaim for creating Kes, a dance theatre adaptation of Barry Hines's book, A Kestrel for a Knave, for Sheffield's Crucible Theatre. That story of how a bird of prey transforms the life of a lonely young boy had, like 1984, captivated Jonathan as a child.
The opportunity to work once more in his native county thrills Jonathan. He said: 'I love it, because I had this wonderful experience with Kes in Sheffield last year and that was great, and to be returning and working with Northern Ballet is just brilliant.
'I left Barnsley and went down to London when I was 12, and working there we never really travelled up north, and when I stepped away on my own it's just been great to come back up and create something.

Marla Ahlgrimm: The First Pharmacy School
There are hundreds of educational establishments that cater to pharmaceuticals. But, according to Marla Ahlgrimm, it was not always that way. The first pharmacy school in the United States was founded in 1821. The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (now the University of the Sciences) offers more than 30 degree-granting academic programs.
According to Marla Ahlgrimm, the early 1800s saw an increased need for medical knowledge. And as doctors began to get away from providing medicine directly, there was an even greater need for people who understood drugs and drug interactions. The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy was established after a meeting by more than five dozen Philadelphia apothecaries. Their goal was to create and improve upon scientific standards.
When the college was first opened, Marla Ahlgrimm explains that it was open to men only. It did not become a coeducational institution until 1876. The original course of study were biological and chemical sciences. The college later expanded to include three other areas: chemistry, bacteriology, and biology.
Marla Ahlgrimm says that 100 years after it opened its doors, the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy changed its name. It was then that the college was granted authorization to provide education and degrees at the graduate and postgraduate level.
Today, colleges and universities across the world offer pharmaceutical programs and in many different disciplines. However, Marla Ahlgrimm says that without this first academic institution, the road would not have been paved for so many professionals that have walked this path over the course of the last 200 years.
Marla Ahlgrimm, now retired, is a board member of the University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy Board of Visitors. She has been active in numerous other industry organizations including the Pharmacy Society of Wisconsin. There is a scholarship in her name, the Marla Ahlgrimm Scholarship, available to students at her alma mater.

RightFont 5 was redesigned completely to make the app stable, fast and much easier for fonts collaboration in design teams. Font Library was introduced as well in this version, this section will show you how to migrate RightFont 4.x database to the RightFont 5.0.
Note: please upgrade your 4.x version to 4.12 at least.
In RightFont 4.x, font files are stored separately with Fontlists. However, the 5.0 version provides an unified solution to organize fonts & fontlists.
First, create an empty Font Library in 5.x version, then create the same fontlists as 4.x. Now open RightFont 4.x, enter each fontlist, select all fonts inside and drag them to the same fontlist in 5.x. Fonts will be imported to your new font library and then added to that fontlist.
From RightFont 5.0, you don't need to create and map a Live List, then share that corresponding folder with your teammates. If you have more live lists to share, you must repeat this step again and again.
Instead of that tedious process, however, with the new RightFont 5 update you simply create a font library and share it over Dropbox or Google Drive folder only once. A font library is a special folder that can contain both fontlists and font files, with this portable container, you and your team enjoy unlimited fonts collaboration.
If you want to learn more on how to share fonts with your team, read and follow this guide.
