“New Year’s resolutions are the perfect opportunity for all those who have failed to start making the changes that they said they would make next week, next month, or perhaps when winter starts.

Well, now’s your chance to sit down and prepare a list of important lifestyle changes you want to make.

What follows is a list of 5 common New Year’s resolutions with a piece of advice that help deal with the issue in greater detail. If you are looking for effective ways of changing your life for the better, then you’ll be sure to find some useful information here.

• 1. Get in shape: Losing weight is the top resolution for Americans, and combined with “exercise more” and “stay fit and healthy” it is something that over a third of the population wishes to achieve. It’s easy enough to start an exercise and diet program, but the trick is to find a decent one that will give you steady results and will be easy to stick to in the long run. Have a look at these tricks, hacks, exercises and mistakes to avoid to make the best our of your resolution.
• 2. Start eating healthier food, and less food overall: This is usually an extension of the previous resolution. Switching to a healthier diet can be incredibly tricky when we are surrounded by cheap junk food. However, with a good amount of determination and some basic tips you can slowly develop healthier eating habits. Learn to control emotional eating, be aware of reasons for diets to fail, make use of these tricks and have a look at these awesome and healthy recipes.
• 3. Stop procrastinating: The biggest barrier that keeps most people from reaching their goals is the desire to relax and do something fun instead of working hard. Once you get used to procrastinating it’s difficult to snap yourself out of it, so you’ll need to put in a lot of work to change this bad habit. There are many useful tips out there to find your way to stop procrastinating. There are also tools which can help you achieve this task.
• 4. Improve your concentration and mental skills: People have been trying to find ways to improve their focus and cognitive capacities for thousands of years, and most ancient civilizations had some combination of mental exercise and herbal medicine to help them reach this goal. Today we can use anything from apps to ancient meditation techniques to boost concentration and hone our mental skills. If you go through with this, you will be able to control your mood, learn faster and have an easier time solving problems.
• 5. Meet new people: When we get stuck in a rut, we usually end up staying at home most of the time, missing out on a lot of interesting opportunities for networking and having fun. Meeting new people can be beneficial to your mental well-being and help your career, so don’t be afraid to get out there and make some friends. Overcome your shyness, get some knowledge and go and get to know new and interesting people.”

Resolutions are good way to get motivated on something we may have been putting off doing.

We hope your 2017 is filled with Health, Joy, Love and Prosperity!

“Voice over IP services (VoIP) have taken the business world by storm. After recognizing the benefits to budgets, job satisfaction and several other factors, more companies than ever are making the switch to internet telephony services. Anyone involved in the VoIP industry, whether providers or consumers, must pay attention to the ever-evolving technology. With that in mind, here are the VoIP trends of 2017 that will define the industry.

1. 5G Technology Begins to Emerge

Most people got excited when they learned their cell phone internet speeds were moving up to 4G. This means that the impending move to 5G technology will surely make waves. It’s important to note that 5G likely won’t be available before 2020, but providers will certainly get the conversation rolling in 2017.

While this may not affect the speed and reliability of VoIP in the office, it will certainly do great things for individuals who use internet telephone systems from their cell. With the number of telecommuters four times higher than in 1995 and 37 percent of Americans already using the technology to work, 5G will certainly revolutionize VoIP.

2. Security at the Forefront

Forbes listed security as one of the top three concerns businesses have for 2017. Unfortunately for VoIP users, internet telephony services are much easier to breach than traditional landlines. Of course, providers take this into account with built-in security measures. Some tech gurus have also predicted that “the cloud” could face more malicious attacks in 2017, so VoIP providers will have to start investing even more in security.

3. Mobile VoIP Skyrockets

5G technology will undoubtedly make it easier for employees to telecommute by using VoIP services, but that’s not the only thing that is set to increase the number of individuals using internet telephony services. In fact, it’s been predicted that the number of mobile VoIP users will surpass 1 billion during 2017.

This is a good thing for business owners who have yet to integrate VoIP into their business. This high demand will certainly bring new choices in the voice over IP industry. In essence, more competition will lead to improved services, expanded features and lower prices.

4. Potential Network Strain

The ever-increasing use of VoIP has a variety of benefits, but it’s obviously not the only technology floating around on the internet. The popular term “Internet of Things” (IoT) is essentially every device connected to other devices through networks.

Over 6 billion devices were expected to be on the IoT in 2016, but this number is expected to jump to 21 billion by 2020. This could create serious network strain over the next few years, so people should expect technological innovations geared towards reducing this strain and ensuring smooth connections. Of course, this will be essential for the continued success of VoIP in the business world.

5. Trend Towards Integration Continues

VoIP is one of the few enterprise solutions that most companies have jumped on — or at least considered — in the past few years. As more companies begin to use other enterprise software, though, budding entrepreneurs will be faced with the option of getting on the bandwagon or falling behind.

This is why VoIP vendors will most likely strive to integrate their services with customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and other enterprise software systems. All of these can make a business far more efficient, and as business owners recognize the need for these solutions, VoIP providers will strive for an integrative approach.

Voice over IP services aren’t going anywhere. They provide a variety of benefits over legacy phone systems, and the trend towards VoIP could eventually render older solutions useless in the future. Of course, it’s essential to be prepared for whatever VoIP has in store over the coming years. And to professionals “in the know,” the aforementioned trends are pointing the way.”

“The littlest Christmas tree                                                                                                                      lived in a meadow of green
among a family
of tall evergreens.
He learned how to whisper
the evergreen song
with the slightest of wind
that came gently along.

He watched as the birds
made a home out of twigs,
and couldn’t wait till
he, too, was big.
For all of the trees
offered a home,
the maple, the pine, and the oak,
who’s so strong.

“I hate being little,”
the little tree said,
“I can’t even turn colors
like the maple turns red.
I can’t help the animals
like the mighty old oak.
He shelters them all
in his wide mighty cloak.”

The older tree said,
“Why, little tree, you don’t know?
The story of a mighty king
from the land with no snow?”
Little tree questioned,
“A land with no snow?”
“Yes!” said old tree,
“A very old story,
from so long ago.”

“A star appeared,
giving great light
over a manger,
on long winter’s night.
A baby was born,
a king of all kings,
and with him comes love
over all things.”

“He lived in a country
all covered in sand,
and laid down his life
to save all of man.”

Little tree thought of the gift
given by him,
then the big tree said with the
happiest grin,
“We’re not just trees,
but a reminder of that day
There’s a much bigger part
of a role that we play!”

“For on Christmas eve,
my life I’ll lay down,
in exchange for a happier,
loving ground.
And as I stand dying,
they’ll adorn me in trim.
This all will be done
in memory of him.”

“Among a warm fire,
with family and friends,
in the sweet songs of Christmas,
I’ll find my great end.
Then ever so gently,
He’ll come down to see
and take me to heaven,
Jesus and me.”

“So you see, little tree,
we are not like the oak
who shelters all things
beneath his great cloak.
Nor are we like the maple
in fall,
whose colors leave many
standing in awe.”

“The gift that we give
is ourselves, limb for limb,
the greatest of honor,
in memory of him.”

The little tree bowed
his head down and cried
and thought of the king
who willingly died.
For what kind of gift
can anyone give
than to lay down your life
when you wanted to live?

A swelling of pride
came over the tree.
Can all of this happen
Because of just me?
Can I really bring honor?
By adorning a home?
By reminding mankind
that he’s never alone?

With this thought, little tree
began singing with glee.
Happy and proud
to be a true Christmas tree.

You can still hear them singing
even the smallest in height,
singing of Christmas
and that one holy night.”

Have a safe and happy Holiday.

“Digitalisation has had a huge impact on how we use our phones, with consumers now expecting to access data-rich services such as social platforms, videos and emails, on the go via their smartphone or tablet. This in turn has impacted billing and charging models, resulting in customers buying an increasing number of flat rate and all-you-can eat packages, made up of app-specific service bundles.

On the surface, this should make things simpler for operators to:

• Reduce the number of complex tariff structures they need to maintain
• Communicate with subscribers and drive subscription take-up rates
• Attract new segments of the market based on which app is included in the bundle

However, the situation on the ground is somewhat different. With intensifying competition and smartphone penetration reaching near saturation in many markets, the challenge of acquiring and retaining new customers is more important than ever. As a result, operators have been forced to engage in a race to the bottom, based on price, to increase volumes and continue to generate a margin. The MTN Group for example, reported a 45 percent reduction of its data tariffs in Africa in its 2015 Annual Report, yet during the same time period, it saw an increase in traffic of 108.5 percent and revenue grew by 32.6 percent.

There is clearly a limit to this model and the rise of unlimited data packages is undoubtedly leading to the devaluation of data as a currency; with SMS and voice revenues also rapidly declining, increased demand on the network, requires higher capital expenditure, and this is often challenging for operators confronted with stagnating revenues and decreasing margins. As a result, operators have come under pressure to find new revenue streams and quite often these new initiatives are being hampered by existing systems that are not able to support these new billing and charging models, and these often involve too high costs and a slow pace of change, hindering operators’ ability to launch new services.

To maintain a competitive edge, not only do operators need to look for systems that can support these new charging models but operators also need to develop partnerships which enable them to offer an enhanced range of services to their customers. Instead of focusing on merely pushing “simple” offerings that can be easily replicated, they will need to define an offering made up of telco and non-telco services, which have a clear appeal to specific segments of the market. Through this approach, operators will be able to provide their customers with all the services they require in one location, and offer a diverse range of offerings tailored to suit each individual’s needs. By offering a wide variety of services and personalised packages, customer retention and ARPU will be increased and this will also provide operators with the opportunity to upsell packages to customers.

To support this new approach to delivering new services through partners, a robust partnering solution, from on-boarding of partners to settlement and customer service, is required and must be underpinned by billing and charging systems that can support this new way of doing business and attracting customers.

As the data currency devaluation continues and the subscription type model becomes the norm, operators will need to ensure that their billing and charging system can keep pace. For example, operators should be able to enhance the customer experience by implementing new rules into charging to enable unused minutes to be rolled over, to ensure that customers don’t feel they’re paying for something they don’t use. Operators should also make bandwidth management a priority, to reduce customer dissatisfaction due to perceived low quality of service when they are being downgraded as a result of fair usage policies being enforced.

Finally, when working with non-telco third parties, operators must look at introducing multi-tenancy capabilities to efficiently share information and on-board and settle with those partners with ease, in order to remain competitive in our digital age.”

We can keep you competitive.
