VoIP vs UCaaS: Which one is best for your business?

Reading Time: 3 minutes

For over 20 years, small to medium-sized businesses have embraced VoIP to replace outdated phone systems and as technology has improved, VoIP has evolved into a next-generation technology that provides seamless integration between internet and voice.

Developed in the 1970s, VoIP technology began to be widely used in the 1990s, leading to the development and practical application of UCaaS for next-generation voice, video, and more.

Vision Net provides VoIP, UCaaS, and Microsoft Teams Integrated services and since no two businesses have the same needs, we design robust and secure systems and work with our clients to find the right technology solution.

Many organizations have strategic reasons for unifying their business communication with a cloud-based solution and will see the best ROI with Vision Net’s UCaaS. However, other businesses have unique needs that are best met by Vision Net’s VoIP.

As a business telecommunications company in Montana for over 25 years, Vision Net understands the needs of small and medium sized businesses throughout the region. We work with our clients to find the best solution for their needs and within their budget, and we’re here to help you determine the best solution for your business.

Vision Net’s VoIP is implemented on-site through your broadband connection, rather than outdated telephone cables. VoIP services can be managed in-house or delivered as a cloud-based service; Vision Net’s agility allows businesses to determine their best management method.

For businesses that need simple, affordable phone calling, VoIP is great for:

  • Significant cost savings on interoffice calling, long-distance, and international calling
  • Simple phone line management
  • Cost-effective management
  • Automated call distribution, voice recognition, and remote phone lines management
  • As your business grows, you can scale from VoIP to UCaaS

UCaaS is defined by as-a-Service apps that are hosted and delivered by a cloud communication tool and as a Unifying communication tool for a streamlined user interface. Vision Net’s UCaaS is delivered through our Unified Communications platform. Adopting Vision Net’s UCaaS will lead to remarkable cost savings and productivity gains. Businesses may prefer UCaaS if their needs include:

  • Video features including video conferencing, web conferencing, and screen sharing
  • Simple communication and management across multiple sites or locations
  • Developing strong business continuity and disaster management processes including broadcast via voice phones, instant messages, text, and email
  • Increase productivity and decrease error by integrating data across apps
  • Improve the customer experience by unifying channels including chat, email, and phone

One of the most practical features of UCaaS missing from VoIP are video communications. If your employees work remotely, travel expenses are a concern, or teams work in different offices, video has benefits that will deliver a strong ROI. 93% of communication is nonverbal, so video could mean fewer miscommunications, 30% less on business travel, and greater collaboration between teams. For many companies, video is the deciding factor between VoIP or UCaaS since video conferencing lets your employees conduct interactive meetings, share screens, connect with and help clients troubleshoot issues in record time.

VoIP and UCaaS both provide flexibility that businesses need. UCaaS offers extensive flexibility in services, especially if you partner with vendors who offer dedicated port connection and with VoIP, you can instantly add and subtract phone lines, and offer features to employees on an as-needed basis. We built our VoIP and Unified Communication Suite on our network with reliability and redundancy as priorities with a knowledgeable staff to ensure your network is proactively monitored and threats are eliminated before they can attack your network.

As an additional feature to the Vision Voice suite of products Vision Net offers Microsoft Teams integration where Vision Net handles the call origination and termination through MS Teams rather than relying on Microsoft as your phone provider. The benefits are our redundant network optimized for call and video applications and the ability to overlay services and advanced features such as call center, hunt groups, call recording, call reporting and faxing.

Still not sure which option will work best for your business? Contact Vision Net to learn about the functionality that will work best for your business.

This annual parade, a Cartersville tradition since 1955, is all about just being a kid!  For the kids, it’s just fun to be in a parade dressed as your favorite character. For the parents, it’s an all out competition to see who can create the best themed costume to take home a year’s worth of bragging rights. In all, it’s just a great way to support families being together and making great memories.

The parade starting point and check-in is at West Main Street and Etowah Drive. The route continues east on Main Street, turning left onto Gilmer Street, then left onto Cherokee Street and ends in the Bartow County Courthouse parking lot at 135 West Cherokee Avenue.

  1. IE Plantus

    Extremely useful with fast and brilliant support.

    Can't live without it ;-)

  2. IE Msharine

    This is a great plugin, exactly do what is says. I got Product Importer Deluxe as it includes Store Exporter Deluxe at a reasonable price.

    I have an issue with importing Stock by location, this plugin does it and works very well. The support is amazing especially Byron. He helps to the extend, even with importing. Thanks to him.

  3. IE Robert Tilton

    This is a great plugin, I got the bundle with Store Importer Deluxe and Store Exporter Deluxe.

    When I had questions about exporting and importing subscription product variations, support was quick to reply and was able to help me resolve my issue.

    Highly recommended!

  4. US Matthew Upton

    Byron offered top-notch product support for the Store Exporter plugin! Couldn't be happier with the purchase!

  5. HK Luke

    This Plugin, alongside Store Exporter Deluxe, is the linch pin of our website stock management. Every single custom use-case scenario anyone could have, I have encountered and Michael and his team have been nothing but incredible with their support.

    I've used this for years and as my review from a year ago said, I couldn't recommend it more vehemently.

    Great work guys, on the Plugin and the support.

  6. GB Brandon Lawrence

    Michael is quick at responding even when it was user error. Thanks for your help and creating this easy to use Plugin. Don’t know how you do it, but it makes my life a lot easier.

  7. CN Stefan

    Great Plugin that helps exporting and importing large amounts of Products - in particular Michael offers perfect support for implementing also new features to the Plugin, like in my case export and import of per-product add-ons of the WooCommerce Product Add-ons Plugin.
    You can see the result in

  8. US Ron

    Love this plugin, it's saved me massive amounts of time in analysing data and doing mass product updates. Michael is very attentive and quick to resolve any issues if there are any.

  9. AU Tim

    We use Product Importer Deluxe everyday and rely heavily on it working well every time for syncing data, stock, etc across our marketplaces. To date it's not let us down and Michael is super fast and helpful whenever we need help. This is a great tool standalone or better still with Store Exporter Deluxe. Buy it and be happy!

  10. AU MimsTech

    This Plugin makes the product import process clean & simple. I'm a novice however I had no problems uploading 8,000+ Products complete with images and custom meta data using the Plugin's simple interface. I can't speak highly enough of my experience using this product!

  11. US Tekguild

    Support is insanely good and Michael solved a bizarre FTP issue quickly, efficiently and professionally.

    I have to be honest - I use WPAllImport a lot and only came across Visser b/c WPAI doesn't support import via FTP. Now that I've seen what it can do and the quality of support, It's going right into my 'highly recommended' bin!

  12. JP Info579

    I love this Plugin! Easy to use and helpful documentation.

    And also, good support and quick response. I had a problem with some parts of the process of importing, but after I asked Michael, he solved my problem right away.

  13. SE Marcus

    Have been using since 2016. Great product, love the quick support and the Plugins functionality.

  14. VN Triều

    One of the most useful Plugins in my website. An enthusiastic and friendly support team.

  15. US Tulasi Zimmer

    We tried out several product import Plugins and WC Product Importer Deluxe is by far the best. Michael was/is extremely helpful in assisting us with minor problems in our data. He responds quickly and is very knowledgeable. We highly recommend this product.

  16. GB Tim

    Just wanted to say that I've tried one or two other import / export plugins for WC but Product Importer Deluxe is by far the best, particularly as it also comes with a license for Store Exporter Deluxe. I've found it very simple to use. It works with minimal configuration and it's saved me a huge amount of time. I must also add that Michael has been incredibly helpful too. Recommended.

  17. US Pborde

    Michael: Now that I have had the benefit of your great products and incredible support for 12 months, I want to tell you that I love your Plugins and your help has been tremendous. This is an absolutely essential Plugin for us.

  18. DE Dietrich

    Product Importer Deluxe works excellent!

  19. GB Osman Ahmed

    Hi, thanks for this amazing plugin!

  20. IE Andrew

    Thanks Michael :)

  21. GB Matt

    Hi Michael, really happy with the plugin, features & support. Thanks, Matt.

  22. GB Nikki

    Thank you Michael. :-)

  23. US Joshua Wilson

    Hello, iv been first using your plug in since it was first developed. I have 22 woocommerce stores with over 10,000 products a store. So i have a lot of importing to do. Once woocommerce came out with their own i started using theirs but its been no where as good as yours. With their plug in i can only import upto 50 products at a time and i keep getting duplicates that drive me annoying. I have to convert 1' 9MB excel file into 1,000 excel files. With your plug in i just keep importing the same excel file and it keeps importing without any doubles. Your picture placing is easier and i like your excel format. Its so much better than Woo's and i have so much to import. Thank you for your work and keep it coming :)

  24. US Ryan

    Hi Michael, Many thanks for the plugin, it's a great timesaver. Thanks, Ryan

  25. GB Paul Cutcliffe

    Excellent, thanks Michael - keep up the good work!

  26. ZA Kim

    Everything working GREAT :-)
    Thanks Michael - saving me time already!

  27. US Russ

    Thanks for the quick response. It's nice to see developers have this kind of interaction.

  28. US Robert

    Holly molly!!! That is the best $95.00 I ever spend. I am still experimenting with 6 items at a time, the product importer worked great LOVE IT.

  1. Anthony Markus US Anthony Markus

    I think you added support for importing wholesale price. Can’t find on csv proper way to import mass wholesale prices. Please let me know what the heading for the csv should be.

    • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

      Hi Anthony, I’ll update the CSV’s now with additional information and a better explanation of the differences in each.

      Sample CSV – 1.3

      • Anthony Markus US Anthony Markus

  2. Andreas Johansson SE Andreas Johansson

    Is it possible to import a product into multiple categories?

    • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

      Hi Andreas, sure does. Just use the Category separator character; defaults to ‘|’ (pipe).

      Apples|Bananas|Kiwi fruit|Melons

      Take a look at the sample CSV’s above for more information as well as how to use Category hierarchies within the Product Category field.

  3. Paul Cutcliffe GB Paul Cutcliffe

    Hi Michael

    I’m still unable to import using your plugin, or even look at the Products section of my dashboard, without getting a Server 500 error. I’ve just upgraded both WP-Ecommerce & your Deluxe Importer to the latest versions (3.8.8 & 3.1.1 respectively), but still no change.

    How can I delete all my products without accessing the products section of the dashboard? I’m sure this is the only way, although of course if I then still can’t import, then I’m in trouble! But currently all my products are so out of date anyway, that many of the orders I’m getting are for out of stock items anyway!

    Also, I have emailed you regarding switching to Woocommerce – could you please get back to me on that?

    Paul Cutcliffe

    • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

      Hi Paul, have replied to your e-mail. To delete your Products outside of WP Admin you will need to manually dump your Products via phpMyAdmin to free up enough memory, you can do this as below.

      1. Open phpMyAdmin
      2. Open wp_posts
      3. Search and limit the results to ‘post_type’ = ‘wpsc-product’
      4. Select all Products and delete

      Do note this will leave any post_meta and other links around, I recommend running a database clean up within WP Admin after this.

  4. Pedro Candeias PT Pedro Candeias

    I can’t find a way for it to support an encoding with latin characters.
    I always get something like this: DICIONÃ?Â?RIO DE MÃ?Å¡SICA – VOL.I it should be DICIONÁRIO DE MÚSICA – VOL.I

    • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

      Hi Pedro, thanks for attaching that. I’ll reproduce this and update you.

  5. Steve US Steve

    Anybody else getting this error that shows up on your product page?

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/13/9131313/html/wp-content/plugins/jigoshop/classes/jigoshop_product.class.php on line 1004

    I can’t remove it by editing the product.

    • Steve US Steve

      Nobody else is having this issue????

      • TairaK CA TairaK

        I am having this problem too.

      • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

        Hi Steve, this is resolved in the 1.2.5 Plugin update hitting Jigoshop momentarily.

    • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

      Hi guys, can you confirm if you are importing Attributes as part of your bulk import. This will help me narrow down if this is responsible for the warning.

      • Tanner Campbell US Tanner Campbell

        Yes, I’m having this problem as well and all my products were part of a rather large bulk import.

      • TairaK CA TairaK

        It dosen’t seem to matter. One site I did not import any attributes. But then another site I started I used your sample data files and the same thing happened.

      • TairaK CA TairaK

        I think I found my issue: I can not set a CSV field to ‘Attributes’, it is simply not in the drop down list.

        I downloaded the ZIP file from Jigoshop again, and the date modified on all the files March 23. Isn’t there a newer version?

        • TairaK CA TairaK

          And would a newer version also fix my issue with all the Tags being created, but only one Tag is saved to the product (when it has multiple tags)?

      • TairaK CA TairaK

        Jigoshop emailed me the current version but it did not solve any of the fact now the image field does not update on merge either!
        1). Still same issue with Attribultes admin tab.
        2) The single product page does not display properly until I have manually edited and saved the product.
        3) Only the first tag is being set for a product.
        4) Image field does not import or update properly. (I have only tried external url) – this was working in previous version, but since update my test imports have no images.

        I am getting really frustrated and I’m weeks behind on a project. I really need a version that works properly.

        • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

          Hi TairaK, I’ve just responded to your Jigoshop support topic, you’ll be receiving a Plugin update that sorts the Attributes, Tags and image import issues shortly.

          • TairaK CA TairaK

            Alright, version 1.2.5 is getting closer….

            1) Tags: Figured out you can not have any spaces in between delimiters for multiple tags to be assigned to product. i.e. tag1| tag2| tag3 will only assign first tag while same values, with no spaces, works great. Maybe there should check for blank spaces or a trim function used somewhere. : )

            2) Re-uploading a product (merging) causes the Featured Image to be deleted from server – yep, the whole thing is wiped right off the server. This obviously is a big concern!!!

            3) Still no option in drop down to assign field to Attribute (although I do not need this, others might).

            These are my findings so far.

            Thanks for the support. I am beginning to have faith in this product again. I am so close to being able to bill for two projects once the image issue is addressed.

  6. Steve US Steve

    Does anyone know where to find this:
    All in One SEO Pack for Jigoshop
    Is it the All in One SEO Pack found in the wordpress plug-ins or is there a different one just for jigoshop?

  7. Lucas US Lucas

    Can I load a CSV with sku, name, category, price and qty and in doing so update the qty and or category of existing products? When I do such an upload, it appears to scan for name changes, but not category and qty. My primary issues is attempting to update 400 out of stock items at once. I was attempting to set Qty to 0, but the Qty is ignored in the upload.

    • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

      Hi Lucas, there’s a Plugin update going out today that fixes a bug in the merge of Stock Quantity. Currently a ‘0’ (zero) value is detected as false when merging and is skipped/ignored during merging, this is fixed going forward.

  8. Steve US Steve

    Ok, thanks for the tip where the docs are. Feel dumb for not seeing them, but I uploaded the plug-in and didn’t look inside. My bad.

    • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

      All good, I’ll make this clearer on the Plugin detail page. 😉

  9. jdwbrw US Jdwbrw

    Do you have any intention of supporting this premium plugin? There are no detailed instructions on how to use this. Your bullet items following the above statement that these are “clear step-by-step instructions” is laughable by any standard. For example, if I want to import images for my products then what should be placed in the image field of the CSV file? Up to now I have learned a few things about this utility through trial and error time that I don’t believe I should be forced to complete. Why would I get error messages about duplicate SKU’s in my import file when there are no duplicates and it is the first time I have tried to import the the records. I have successful imported other products with my SKU’s using the same format for the CSV file.

    I am highly disappointed in what I received in this premium this plugin. You should get with it or make this a free plugin.

    Anybody, what am I missing here?

    • Dani Cela CA Dani Cela

      look in the directory of the folder it has example files which worked perfect for me…

      • jdwbrw US Jdwbrw

        Hi Dani,

        Very helpful reply.

        Many Thanks,

  10. Rachel NL Rachel

    Hi, I bought your product importer today. I had already uploaded all the images into the media library via the media uploader & I check in the content/uploads file that they were also there. However, when I do an import it does not connect the images to the products. The product shows as having no image. I’ve checked the image column on the csv & all the image codes match those in the media library.

    Do you have any idea why this might be or what I may be doing wrong?

    • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

      Hi Rachel, a Plugin update is going out today which improves the image import functionality. I have disabled the duplicate Image detection in this latest release as it has been causing the ‘unlinked Product image’ issue you’re likely experiencing. Please download the latest release and confirm if this is still occurring.

      Please note that Product Importer Deluxe will only detect Images that have been uploaded in the current month else if you have turned off Media indexing from Settings > Media, the duplicate image detection above scans your entire Media Library but needs a bit more love before it’s reintroduced.

      • Rachel IT Rachel

        Hi Michael,

        Thanks for your reply on that. I will download the latest version now & see how it goes. I just wanted to check on one thing first though as I think I failed to do something before; do I have to go into the csv file & change all the image names to the file they can be found in?

        e.g. image – 100, should be changed to 100/2012/04

        Is that correct? Or can I just change it at the column title?

        • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

          Hi Rachel, if your Image filename is ‘100.jpg’ (no directories) then that is what you put in the Image column for that Product. The importer uses the current month directory to scan for Product images so ensure your images are uploaded to /wp-content/uploads/2012/04/…

  11. Emanuel AU Emanuel

    Hi Michael,

    I have a question regarding exporting products – you supplied a sample csv and that was great to start with, but now I have edited a whole bunch of items on my website and I want to export the entire product items in the same structure as your sample file so that I can make some changes and import them back in…..

    How can I export the products ?

  12. Lucas BR Lucas

    No support, no funcionality, no explain, no nothing, just $50 for nothing, Smart Manager Pro do all this, have GUI, works better and give support to their clients, if you can’t do it alone Michael, dont do it, dont sell your plugin if you cant tell people how it works, you only answer questions of people asking if they should buy it. too expensive Mr. Michael.

    • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

      Hi Lucas, I’m packaging up a major Plugin update to work out the critical import issues affecting the WooCommerce release and will be sending this to the WooThemes team shortly.

      • John BR John

        When you think it will be available?

        • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

          Hi John, the 1.2.4 Plugin update was sent to WooThemes today for distribution so I hope any day now!

  13. Steve US Steve

    I did also notice that I get this error message:

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/13/9131313/html/wp-content/plugins/jigoshop/admin/write-panels/product-data.php on line 544

  14. Steve US Steve

    Ok, one last problem. I can’t seem to get the featured image to work. I have the full url in the image field, but after uploading the featured image is not showing up. Any ideas???

    • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

      Hi Steve, I’ve improved support for importing Product images. Please download the new 1.2.4 Plugin update going out today.

      • Marc US Marc

        Where can I get the new version? I have purchased the older one and am experiencing the same issues as mentioned here.

        • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

          Hi Marc, please log into your account via Jigoshop’s website to download the latest release. 🙂

  15. alvin ID Alvin

    Hi, VisserLab…
    If I buy this, will this importer able to handle CSV file which exported with your Exporter plugins?

    • Michael Visser au Michael Visser

      Hi Alvin, sure can. I’m tying the two Plugins closer together to make things easier for store owners to import/export/merge Product changes. 🙂

      • Alvin ID Alvin

        Many thanks for the answer, Visserlab.., but I just tested your Exporter module today… and I found that it hasn’t been updated.
        That exporter doesn’t work well with the latest version of WooCommerce.

Parkinson’s disease 2 times less likely if get 2 hours of daily sun – Nov 2016

Sunlight and vitamin D protect against Parkinson's disease

  • “People who spend two hours a day outside are two times less likely to develop Parkinson's disease than people who only spend an hour or less outside,”

Reminder: The benefit of sun comes only from 10 AM to 3 PM during the summer
   When your shadow is as long as you are you get 1/2 of much vitamin D
Reminder: Far more vitamin D is generated when more skin is exposed and lying down
Suspect: Only need 30 minutes a day to reduce PD by 2X if lay down with few clothes on

Circulating vitamin D has previously been found to be lower in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), while the effects of sunlight exposure have not yet been fully investigated. Therefore, we evaluated the associations between serum vitamin D, vitamin D intake, sunlight exposure, and newly-diagnosed PD patients in a Chinese population. This case-control study measured serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and sunlight exposure in 201 patients with newly-diagnosed PD and 199 controls without neurodegenerative diseases. Data on vitamin D intake and sunlight exposure were obtained using a self-report questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regressions were employed to evaluate the associations between serum 25(OH)D levels, sunlight exposure, and PD. Adjustments were made for sex, age, smoking, alcohol use, education, BMI, and vitamin D intake. There were significantly lower levels of

  • serum 25(OH)D (20.6 ± 6.5 ng/mL),
  • daily vitamin D intake (8.3 ± 3.7 g/day), and
  • sunlight exposure (9.7 ± 4.1 h/week)

in patients with PD compared to healthy controls (p < 0.05).
Crude odds ratios (ORs) for PD in the quartiles of serum 25(OH)D were

  • 1 (reference),
  • 0.710 (0.401, 1.257),
  • 0.631 (0.348, 1.209), and
  • 0.483 (0.267, 0.874), respectively.

Crude ORs for PD in quartiles of sunlight exposure were

  • 1 (reference),
  • 0.809 (0.454, 1.443),
  • 0.623 (0.345, 1.124) and
  • 0.533 (0.294, 0.966), respectively.

A significant positive correlation between serum 25(OH)D and sunlight exposure was found, but serum 25(OH)D was not correlated with daily vitamin D intake. This study indicates that lower levels of serum 25(OH)D and sunlight exposure are significantly associated with an increased risk for PD.

MicroMentor is the OK Cupid of business mentorship sites — and it, too, is looking for new revenue streams. I recently sat down with Loren Guerriero, whose job is making MicroMentor more user-friendly, to find out how business mentoring can be like online dating for entrepreneurs. Guerriero explains that the ability to freely choose your partner is what sets MicroMentor apart from other mentoring services. Signing up to be a mentor or a mentee is as simple as a few mouse clicks and a couple fill-in-the-blank questions.

Once you are registered on the site, you can either actively look for someone who fits your criteria or wait for a match to find you. The service tailors your search results and prioritizes members who are active and have profiles similar to yours—not exactly arranging the possible marriage but certainly guiding it. Meeting a mentor through an online system makes it easy to work around time constraints, and business mentorship presents numerous opportunities for both the mentor and mentee.

Besides giving back to the business community, statistics suggest that mentors tend to have higher compensation and may have a better shot at promotions. For an entrepreneur, mentorship can provide necessary perspective to move a business forward. However, mentoring programs are usually expensive and out of reach for smaller businesses. MicroMentor provides an affordable solution, especially for microentrepreneurs from low-income backgrounds.

The catfishing from the original documentary started on Facebook , but you can also be catfished on dating apps like Tinder, in chatrooms or even through fake video chats on Skype. If you come across a fake profile you should report it to the dating site or social network wherever possible.

Where catfishing can become illegal is if the scammer uses the fake profile to trick you into sending them money. This is fraud, and it is against the law. A common tactic of dating scammers is to ask you to talk on email, text or Whatsapp, in case the dating site or app gets wise to their scam. Scam victims frequently report being asked to send money internationally to pay for an alleged visa, only never to hear from them again.

DEVOTIONAL: Somewhere To Call Home..The Father’s Provision

Exodus 14:16

“As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land.

Matthew 15:31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

Matthew 9:6-7 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, and departed to his house.

The Word of God is filled with His miracles. Some of His wonderful works are known, even by non-believers such as water into wine; others are more realized by believers, say the woman who touched the hem of His garment and was healed, for example.

From Creation to the Second Coming of Christ, there are so many times our Lord has done miraculous works. What miracles has He done in your life (Don’t forget to include the most substantial, Salvation!)?

Sometimes we do not recognize a miracle for what it is. We have three children and a granddaughter, so yes, I clearly saw 4 miracles there. For every ONE I acknowledge, there are countless He has done that I have not given thanks for, I am certain. It isn’t because I do not appreciate what He has done or is doing in my life. Is it because I am so blessed that I do not fully comprehend His miracles for what they are? I hope not, but I am afraid that may be the case.

Let’s take a closer look around us and be thankful for everything He has given, allowed and done for us, starting with His Son! What word, other than “miracle”. would you use to describe the incarnation, all God, all Man, the life, death and resurrection on our Savior?

We may set an even more sincere value on our appreciation if we saw things as miracles rather than coincidence, “good luck” or even worse, a product of OUR “good living”!

Beautiful Lord
Worker of mighty miracles
We give You thanks for all you do
Everything You Are

Precious God
You allow glimpses of Your power and authority
You work miracles in our lives and the lives of those around us

We have seen babies born
The Lost, saved

Father God, we know that there are things only Your hand could have done!
We praise You for each and every miracle

Thank You that we can read in Your Word, time and time again where You displayed Your authority over all things!

Time after time where You give us evidence that You Alone ARE GOD
Among so many others, You healed, subdued the seas, resurrected the dead and saved souls from eternal damnation

We ask forgiveness when we do not see or recognize a miracle
Please open our hearts and minds to know
To realize
To appreciate Your greatness
Let us not contain this, O God
Let us spread the news of what
Our Lord can do!
Our Father, the Great I AM!

Through the blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ,

I was raised in a Christian home by a godly dad and mom (who planned and had me in July before turning 42 in August), and 5 older siblings. My father passed away when I was 7 and my mother (who went to be with the Lord in 2005 at 81) never remarried. As a child, I was bullied at school, so I did not have many friends. I didn't want to tell my mom this because I knew she had enough worry being a widow at 50. I know what it is like to be lonely. As an adult, God showed me the value of His Friendship and has blessed me, too, with rich relationships with dear friends who also love the Lord. My husband and I (married 31 years as of 2020), have three wonderful, adult children and son-in-law as well as three darling grandchildren. Along with many others, my husband lost his job, but we refuse to be fearful or angry. The Lord has provided for us and we are so thankful for the opportunity to express gratitude through personal contact and occasional memories I share through writing.

Devotional: Procrastination~Throwing Away Time

Proverbs 2:1-5

2 My son, if thou wilt receive My words, and hide My commandments with thee;

2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.

Today was not EVEN funny! When I lived in SC, my home gym offered participation in a triathlon where we had the entire month to finish it.

We had a form hanging on the gym wall with the requirements and checked off (using an “honor system”) our boxes as we progressed.

Kindly, since I moved, the Activity Director there has allowed me to participate using the gym here for the past two years.

Typically I start no later than the first week of March because I know the longer I take to get with it, the more I will have to do each time to get finished.

This year, I have piddled around, committed to too many things or was just plain lazy, so I did not start my workout until today.

I did, PRAISE GOD, get some work accomplished, although I wasn’t as encouraged as I have been in the past. I realize what is ahead of me and how much I must do to finish. Completion is not an option! I am far too competitive for that~

Well, I just woke up from about a 4 hour “rest” after attempting to cram as many of the requirements as possible this morning! Smugly, I was convinced since I am in much better shape than I previous years going in to this, it would not be an issue starting so late! WRONG!

It is in our best interests to pray, read and study the Scriptures daily! Our relationship with Christ and knowledge of His Word is not intended to fit into one or two days a week! We certainly don’t want to procrastinate when it comes to getting to know Jesus or His teachings!

Let’s get up from life’s couch and get out there, enjoying the beautiful day with our Father, talking to Him, listening to what He has to say.

I can’t go back to the first of the month and pace myself at this point. The days are gone. I can only move on from here until I am done.

If you came to the Lord as a child or are only now developing that relationship; if you walked away from Him and are your journey back, don’t beat yourself up about time lost, move forward.

Time cannot be “made up”, attempting to do so will not only drain you physically, emotionally and spiritually, it is an exercise in futility. Move forward and endeavor to use wisely the remainder of what you’re given!

O Holy God

Thank You for the day You’ve given us

We bring You praise for every opportunity to get to know You better

To walk with You

To learn and study Your Word

Please help us use the time You’ve given us wisely

Moment by moment we need You, Father

Please let us recognize and acknowledge our dependence upon You!

In the Name of Jesus

How the UN human rights panel helped the plight of children and families

By Mark RegevThe United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday approved a resolution that requires the Israeli government to provide immediate and unconditional humanitarian aid to Palestinian children and their families.

The resolution, which was unanimously adopted by the body’s 193-member General Assembly, states that Israel’s “abuses and abuses against Palestinians have been, and continue to be, intolerable and must cease.”

In addition to the Palestinian refugees and displaced persons, the resolution also requires the Palestinian Authority to provide aid and assistance to Palestinian citizens of Israel who are displaced from their homes by the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians.

The Palestinians, along with their Jordanian, Lebanese, Syrian, and other neighbors, have been under Israeli military rule since 1967.

The Israeli government says the displacement is an unavoidable result of the conflict.

“Israel’s continued settlement policies and the continued closure of its borders with the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and the expulsion of the Palestinians from the State of Palestine, have contributed to the continuing displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees,” the resolution states.

The resolution also calls on the Palestinian Government to implement a “road map for Palestinian citizens” that aims to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the ongoing violence in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Authority was elected last year to take responsibility for the territory’s affairs and ensure its security, but it is not yet able to carry out this responsibility.

The Palestinians and the international community have condemned the Israeli actions, calling for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory and the immediate release of the prisoners they have been holding since 1967, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights in the Occupying States, Paulo Pinheiro, told reporters.

“This resolution is an important step forward in addressing the needs of the Palestinian people, and its passage signifies the urgent need to take action to stop the Israeli occupation of Palestine,” Pinheir said.

The United States has said it opposes the resolution because it does not provide adequate humanitarian aid.

But the U.S. State Department has also voiced support for the resolution, saying that it was aimed at the rights of the refugees and their children.

“This resolution reflects the UN Security Council’s commitment to providing assistance to the Palestinians in the event of a breach of the status quo in the West Bank or Gaza Strip,” a State Department official told The Associated Press.

“We look forward to seeing how the resolution is interpreted and implemented, but our support is for the Palestinian children who have been the most impacted by this conflict and continue their humanitarian need.”

The resolution, approved by the General Assembly on Monday, calls on Israeli officials to ensure that the Palestinian authorities receive the following:1.

Appropriate assistance and support to help the Palestinian population, including families, children, and women, in need of protection, including food, shelter, medical care, and housing, as well as education, health, and infrastructure.2.

Appropriated financial assistance to assist the Palestinian civilian population in the areas under Israeli occupation to rebuild or rebuild infrastructure.3.

Appropriation for the provision of essential humanitarian assistance to displaced and displaced Palestinian civilian populations.4.

Appropriatory financial assistance for the humanitarian needs of Palestinians and for their families and communities, including the provision and reconstruction of essential infrastructure.5.

Appropriateness of the allocation of assistance and assistance for Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip, including humanitarian aid and support for reconstruction, the provision, reconstruction, and shelter for the civilian population.

The General Assembly also authorized the Secretary-General to convene the Security Council to discuss the issue of the ongoing Israeli-Israeli conflict.

METHODS: The Health Technology Assessment International (HTAi) Policy Forum sought to identify why MEAs might be used, issues associated with implementation and develop principles for their use. A 2-day deliberative workshop discussed key papers, members{\textquoteright} experiences, and collectively addressed four policy questions that resulted in this study. RESULTS: MEAs are used to give access to new technologies where traditional reimbursement is deemed inappropriate. Three different forms of MEAs have been identified: management of budget impact, management of uncertainty relating to clinical and/or cost-effectiveness, and management of utilization to optimize performance. The rationale for using these approaches and their advantages and disadvantages differ. However, all forms of MEA should take the form of a formal written agreement among stakeholders, clearly identifying the rationale for the agreement, aspects to be assessed, methods of data collection and review, and the criteria for ending the agreement. CONCLUSIONS: MEAs should only be used when HTA identifies issues or concerns about key outcomes and/or costs and/or organizational/budget impacts that are material to a reimbursement decision. They provide patient access and can be useful to manage technology diffusion and optimize use.

How Long Can a Pomeranian Go without Eating

Posted on

Just like humans, dogs also need three main things to live, they are food, water and air. Of course, in order to stay healthy and strong, your Pom should eat a balanced and adequate diet. Then, how if your Pom does not want to eat? And how long can he go without eating?

You may worry seeing your lovely Pom not eating. As long as your Pom’s gesture shows he’s fine, it does not matter. Your Pom can survive for a while without food. However, you should also find out the reasons why they may not be eating.

Thankfully, this post will answer your curiosity for something wrong happening to your Pom. Let’s get started!

How Long Can a Pomeranian Go without Eating
Generally, most healthy dogs can survive without eating up to five days. This number is totally true if your dog is still drinking numerous amounts of water. Some dogs even can go up to seven days without carrying them to the vet.

While, if your dog is not healthy, he will likely be worse for the wear after going five days without food. The most dogs probably can survive without food is three days, less without water.

Therefore, there are some factors which influence how long your Pom dog can survive without foods, they are:

  • Dog’s Age

As we know the number of nutritions that your dogs need depends on their age. As a rule of thumb, younger dogs will need more nutrients than older dogs. So, their survival naturally depends on the amount of nutrients needed.

  • Dog’s Size

As we’ve mentioned, the larger dogs will need more energy which comes from food to survive. It means the larger the dogs, the more food they need to live. Larger dogs will not be able to survive without eating for a long time.

  • Dog’s Activity Level

If your dog is extremely active, it means that he will need more nutrients to survive. Well, an active dog cannot live longer without eating.

  • Dog’s Health Issue

Health issues can also be an influential factor to determine how long your Pom can go without foods. Generally, dogs who have a lot of health issues, sensitivities and more cannot go long without eating. The survival of dogs with health issues will be less.

  • Dog’s Breed

Breed such as the Great Dane, German Shepherd, and more really need a lot of food to survive. Otherwise, small breeds such as Maltese, Poodle, Pomeranian and more will be fine longer without food.

Why Is Your Pom Dog Stop Eating?

Sure, there are a bunch of reasons why your Pom dog stops eating. Some dogs may only require to visit the vet and others probably need a more lengthy healing process. At least, there are two main causes why your Pom stops eating, they are medical conditions and mental conditions. Each of them will be explained below!

Caused by medical conditions

If your dog is not feeling well medically, they will certainly lose their appetite altogether. Here are most common medical conditions which may happen to your Pom:

  • Infection
  • Allergies
  • Upset stomach
  • Parasites
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Gingivitis or other dental issues
  • Pain due to wounds or arthritis which is more common in adult dogs.
  • Serious conditions like cancer, organ failure, diabetes, more. These conditions really need the most urgent case as soon as possible.

If you already know that your Pom is suffering from any of those medical conditions, sure, his lack of appetite may be caused by them.

Caused by mental conditions

Aside from medical conditions, your Pom dog which lacks appetite can also be caused by mental conditions such as depression and anxiety. Sure, these symptoms also occur when it happens in humans who are suffering from those illnesses.

  • Depression

If your Pom is suffering for depression, he may will exhibit all of these symptoms below:

A depressed dog is not as playful as active as other dogs.

Their sleeping schedule may also change. They will sleep all day and night, or only sleep in the day or don’t sleep at night or even don’t sleep at all. It will raise irritability over time.

Don’t care about things they once loved. When your Pom rejects for something that he initially loved, or he doesn’t have their lovely toy that he usually plays with, if so, he may have depression.

Well, if you notice for all symptoms in your Pom dog, the best way that you can do is to go to the vet and have all other things ruled out first. If you Pom is diagnosed with depression, the vet may give certain medications or a treatment regimen to help your Pom recover. Talking to your vet about your Pom diets and eating habits is a must for you.

  • Anxiety

Anxiety is surely categorized as a mental issue. If your dog is suffering anxiety, your dog tends to be a bit more volatile. The behaviours that he will exhibit when anxiety include:

  • Barking
  • Growling
  • Hiding
  • Aggression
  • Trembling
  • Trying to run away constantly
  • Tucking his tail between his legs
  • Aversion to being touched
  • Inability to go outside without panicking

Well, those are pretty signs when your dog is anxious. When one of them or all signs occurs in your Pom, it would be better for you to take him to a vet. Sure, your vet will look for the best course of the treatment or give you medication or any tips to keep your Pom calm in the future.

Here are some methods you can do:

  • Make sure to spend more time with your Pom. The most common anxiety in dog development comes from being separated from his owner for a longer time. It will happen when you work or travel a lot.
  • Introduce the world around him as the socialization process early. If it’s harder for your dog to get along with other people and animals later on.
  • Give your Pom some spaces which are away from loud noises and people. You can also dedicate a space of your home for your Pom to go when he’s too afraid of the world around him. Dim the lights a little can give him peace.

The Benefits Of Taking Pre-Workout Supplements

Before doing your daily exercises, you may decide to take a supplement or eat a pre-workout snack to provide an explosion of energy to your muscles and help in your workouts. Usually, pre-workouts are made from proteins and simple carbohydrates to facilitate digestion and give the extra energy needed.

During an exercise practice, the body’s energy reserves run out very quickly, and that’s where pre-workouts make a difference, helping you achieve your goals and achieve the performance you’re looking for.

Increased physical performance

For protein synthesis to occur, that is, for you to be able to maintain your muscles or to encourage their growth, you need protein. It is a key nutrient for muscle maintenance and growth, so it is present in so many supplements, and treatments focused on these goals.

To make each series have as much impact as possible, pre-workouts have a high protein value, in addition to including (in some brands and versions) creatine, which is an element known for its effect on increasing muscle performance during high-intensity exercises in the short term.

Prevents premature tiredness

During the exercises, we quickly spend the energy we have stored, causing the muscles to tire, and you feel exhausted. This feeling is the way our body has developed to warn you that you need to consume more energy before performing such intense activities.

When you consume pre-workouts with the proper nutrients, you are preparing your body to give the most of itself with high levels of energy to spend. With the extra amount of energy ready to burn, you’ll be able to complete your series without getting tired ahead of time.

Reduces protein breakdown

To gain and increase muscle tissue, protein synthesis needs to be at least as high as its protein breakdown rate. For growth to occur optimally, the synthesis must be higher than the breakout rate.

The amino acids known as BCAAs are the main elements present in the protein, making this the action that will really make the difference when choosing a good pre-workout so that the broken age is reduced and supplanted by the synthesis from the supplement.

What is a pre-workout supplement?

As you can imagine by the name, pre-workout supplements are supplements consumed before the time of physical activity, to provide more energy and assist in performance during exercises, so that the athlete can more easily achieve their goals.

One misconception is that pre-workout supplements are or should only be consumed by people who spend hours and hours working out in the gym.

The truth is that these supplements are effective in practising any physical activity in which you feel that your body is not achieving the desired performance, whether in the gym or sports.

How do pre-workouts work?

To achieve this “miraculous” goal, the supplements have several actives that raise the level of available energy of the athlete so that he can perform high, increase body temperature so that there are greater fat burning and greater muscle growth, among several other specific benefits of each product.

In general, the most common ingredients present in these products are creatine, responsible for increasing the energy available in muscle cells and transferring essential fluids from the blood to the bones, increasing muscle growth, caffeine, well known for its great impact on available energy, and ingredients with high protein content, such as whey or vegetable protein.

When should I take a pre-workout?

By default, the time to take the supplement is about 20 to 30 minutes before your training session begins. Some stimulants are less sensitive, with the effects starting about 45 minutes later and lasting between 3 and 6 hours. Others are more sensitive, exhibiting effects faster and lasting longer, closer to a total of 6 hours.

Are there any side effects on pre-workout consumption?

The side effects will depend on the composition of the supplement you decide to use, so it is so important to know the ingredients and never buy from unknown brands or counterfeit products.

In general, of the most common ingredients, such as caffeine and creatine, the side effects presented are increased heart rate and blood pressure. However, there is no evidence of permanent consequences caused by these components.

Excessive use of these compounds, however, can result in palpitations and headaches due to the above symptoms, in addition to nausea and dizziness. Therefore it is important always to discuss which supplements you are interested in taking with a doctor and receive a valid indication from a healthcare professional.

Conclusion on pre-workout supplements

Pre-workout supplements are specifically made to improve your performance when practising sports or training your muscles, giving you more energy, strength and endurance. Taking half an hour before your workout begins, you will feel the benefits from the beginning of the workout.

If you want to maximize the impact your workouts or workouts have on your performance and want to achieve as much as your body can, you must use supplements like these, taking your training sessions to a completely different level and continuing to grow (both physically and mentally).

So with the information in this article and our list of the 10 best pre-workouts on the market in 2021, you’ll be ready to take on even the most intense training with the confidence that you’ll have all the energy you need to complete them!

Peace In the Midst of the Storm

3 You will keep in perfect peace  those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever,  for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal. — Isaiah 26:3, 4 NIV

The eye of a hurricane is the calmest part of the storm, there is usually no wind and the skies are clear.  It is usually true that the stronger the storm the better defined the eye of the hurricane will be.  The eye is surrounded by an eyewall of thunderstorms that contain the most dangerous weather.  When a hurricane is at sea, the eye is still calm except at sea level where waves may reach a height of 130 feet.  If we can compare the violence of the world around us to a hurricane, we can see that there is a place of peace and calmness in the middle of all that chaos. But we can’t just sit on the surface and wait, we have to prepare for the storm by keeping our eyes on Jesus and not on the world.  By trusting completely in Him, we can rise above the waves and live in peace in the midst of the storm. When the storm starts to dissipate, the eyewall will start to break down and we will experience some winds but they will not be strong enough to harm us.  There will be some rain but only enough to water us and make us grow, not enough to wash us away. God never allows more than we can bear.  If we choose to focus on the world and its carnality, we will find ourselves in the eye-wall of the storm. But if we repent and pray Peter’s short prayer. “Lord, save me”, He will stretch out His hand and pull us to safety.  We can’t stop the hate and violence in the world, but God has provided a place of peace and safety for His children. The choice is ours.  We can choose to stay focused on Jesus and live in the peace that He gives us or stay where we are and live in the chaos.

10 Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed,  yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,”  says the Lord, who has compassion on you.   — Isaiah 54:10 NIV
“The Gospel has come to you because it’s on its way to someone else.” – Anonymous

Other History Lessons posts can be found here. For some context, you may wish to read the post about Dragon Quest and the post about Final Fantasy first. As always, you may click on images to view larger versions.

My very slow quest to play through the early Japanese-style role-playing games continues. I semi-accidentally started out of order with the first Final Fantasy game, before realizing that it was predated by not one, but two of the Dragon Quest games. Deciding it was foolish to limit myself to the Final Fantasy series only, I then played the first Dragon Quest, and have now moved on to the second. As with the first game, Dragon Quest II appeared in Japan first, released in January 1987 for the Japanese Famicom, before being localized for the Nintendo Entertainment System (a rebranded Famicom) in North America in 1990, under the name Dragon Warrior II to avoid trademark troubles. This English-language version is the one that I played, and while there are some minor changes, it’s largely the same game as the Japanese original.

Vision: Our vision is that all children are healthy, thriving and successful.

Equity: Guided by this vision, we work to address systemic inequities and social determinants of health by advocating for integrated health care for all children where they already spend much of their time—at school. Access to care at school advances equity in health, education, and prospects for lifelong wellness and success.

Diversity and Inclusion: Those affected by inequities in health and education know their own experience, needs, and communities. Their voices are essential in guiding effective strategy and realizing change and progress.

To effectively lead and serve as an Alliance, we are committed to inclusion within our organization and in our external engagement and advocacy. We seek and value diversity in identity and lived experience based on race, ethnicity, immigrant or refugee status, gender, sexual orientation, age, abilities, religion, geography, socioeconomic status, family status, veteran status, and system involvement.

I just finished reading your cover story about Fredericksburg, Va. (“Ground War,” 7/27). I just want you to know that I enjoyed it. I hadn’t seen a Washington City Paper in a few years (I didn’t live here), and I grabbed one downtown after I saw your story on the cover. It interested me, so I picked it up. Most of the time, writers are not thanked for their stories, but I decided to write to you and tell you how much I enjoyed yours. I have no burning feeling about the Civil War or housing construction, but I found your balanced story very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
