About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Personal Care’s Journey from Ancient Ritual to Tech-Driven Wellness

By: Get News
A fresh exploration of how self-care has shifted from traditional customs to personalized, innovation-led routines

September 18, 2025 - The evolution of personal care reveals a striking transformation: what once began as community rituals and natural remedies has now become a sophisticated interplay of science, wellness, and self-expression. Across cultures and epochs, people have historically turned to oils, herbs, clays, and other natural materials not just for hygiene, but for healing, identity, and social meaning. As technology advanced and beauty standards shifted, these age-old practices evolved, first through commercialization and mass production during the industrial age, and later through the emergence of personalized, tech-centric self-care routines in the modern era.

In ancient civilizations, personal care rituals were deeply embedded in the daily lives of people. From using plant-based ointments in warm baths to applying powders and oils that spoke to spiritual cleansing or social status, care for the body was as much about internal balance as outward appearance. Over time, these practices were shaped by cultural beliefs, climate, and even religion, laying the foundation for holistic approaches that con ected inner well-being with external care.

The Industrial Revolution introduced a radical shift. Self-care moved out of the home and into factories, where products like soap, toothpaste, and creams began to be mass-produced and marketed to the public. As beauty and grooming products became more accessible, marketing started defining new ideals of hygiene and attractiveness. While this democratized access, it also introduced widespread standardization—sometimes at the expense of individuality and cultural diversity in self-care practices.

Today, personal care has entered an era defined by personalization and innovation. AI-powered skincare diagnostics, tailored wellness consultations, and ingredient-level customization are reshaping routines around the individual. Modern self-care is no longer about matching a single ideal. Instead, it is often about restoring confidence, aligning with personal identity, and responding to specific lifestyle needs or concerns. Many people now invest in low-impact treatments, preventive wellness practices, and holistic regimens well before aging or damage become visible—recognizing that self-care can be transformative rather than reactive.

Yet this shift is more than technological—it is emotional. People increasingly expect meaningful, transparent relationships with their care providers. The success of a skincare or self-care product is no longer judged solely by its ingredients or packaging but by the trust, education, and ethical transparency that back its use. Along with this, social media has further disrupted the personal care narrative, turning self-care into a visible, ongoing dialogue. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok amplify trends, before-and-after transformations, and influencers’ routines. These spaces have helped destigmatize many cosmetic practices while also raising questions about comparison culture and the pressure to conform.

Looking ahead, the future of personal care lies in creativity, sustainability, and ethical innovation. From eco-friendly formulations to virtual consultations, smart diagnostics, and longevity-centered regimens, the landscape of self-care is adapting to broader concerns about health, identity, and environmental impact. Personal care in the 21st century is not just about appearance—it is a practice of aligning with one’s values, nurturing self-worth, and making intentional choices about how to present oneself to the world.

In sum, the story of personal care is one of continuity and change. What began as simple rituals of cleanliness and protection has grown into deeply personal routines infused with choice, technology, and meaning. As personal care continues to evolve, it remains anchored in the same impulse that inspired it centuries ago: the desire to feel whole, healthy, and confident in one’s own skin.
