Rats and mice carry nasty diseases. You should eliminate this health risk as soon as possible.
We're lucky enough to live in a world where mouse and rat infestations are increasingly uncommon. Better hygiene standards and improved building quality mean that we no longer have to take it for granted that rodents will share our homes or businesses.
But sometimes they insist on reminding us of their existence. They might announce this by biting you while you sleep; by scuttling across your bedroom floor and into some dark recess behind your wardrobe; or by leaving mysterious chew marks in the apple pie you left on the windowsill.
Don't ignore rodents – because they certainly won't ignore you.
It's an easy mistake to make. You notice the signs of a rat's presence, so you deploy a trap. Days pass and nothing happens. The signs of infestation continue, but it's not affecting you very much – so you simply ignore it and go on with your life.
This lack of response is dangerous. Rats and mice often carry diseases, which they spread to humans via their droppings or urine. Leptospirosis and salmonellosis are two of the most common ones, but the most famous example is of course the bubonic plague, or Black Death, which ravaged Europe in the Middle Ages.
Ticks, fleas, and lice also love to ride around in the hair of rats, often jumping off and colonising various parts of your house as soon as they get the chance.
Because rats gnaw constantly to sharpen their teeth, they frequently damage pipes, insulation, skirting boards, wooden furniture, and other parts of your property.
We can help.
The pest control team at EP Services has been dealing with rat and mouse infestations for more than ten years, and we're fully equipped to weed out even the most cunning rodents.
When we visit your property, the first thing we'll do is conduct a careful assessment to identify which type of rodent is giving you grief. Based on what we find, we'll come up with a targeted solution that eradicates the pests quickly and effectively.
We use methods which are entirely safe for you and your pets.
Crucially, we can also help you prevent future infestations. We promise that by the time we're finished, you'll be able to put your feet on the ground without having to worry about something crawling over them.
Are rodents messing with your business?
If you own a cafe, restaurant, or other establishment that deals with food, rodents can ruin your reputation. Nothing leaves a more bitter taste in a customer's mouth than the sight of a rat. Avoid negative reviews; contact us today and we'll get your rodent problem sorted for you in no time.
We'll drive anywhere in the Auckland region to provide you with a free rodent control assessment and quote.

Cameron, Clegg or Miliband? Forget Polls. It Is Reputation That Reflects Reality Of Their Performance.
With just weeks to go until the General Election, leaders of each party are continuing the long battle to convince the voter of their ability to perform; a challenge kicked off in the ITV Leaders' Debate. But how are we, (and they) measuring their success?
Opinion polls are so last election, dusty old market research has been modernised by an on- screen 'worm' and interviews with a small group of a 'representative audience' are hugely underwhelming pieces of insight both for the leaders, their campaigns and for the potential undecided voter who is looking for guidance.
Political parties and their leaders could learn a lot from the growing number of organisations who are assessing their performance by measuring and managing the asset that is their reputation.
Measuring reputation, both personal and professional, affords them greater insight and intelligence as to where to put precious resource, how, where and what to communicate with real effect and to whom. It also arms them with the power to be flexible and reactive to those people and issues that matter to them. In a nutshell, measuring performance through reputation helps them to sustain a successful future.
Reputation, how people perceive and understand you, is the strongest possible evaluation of successful performance. It is the only measure that delivers hard evidence and huge doses of startling reality ast to how successful you are in being seen and understood in a way that you wish to be.
Parties and thier leaders must realise It is now possible to make reputation tangible.
Contemporary measures of reputation are the perfect blend big data analysis, digital capability and market research techniques. This capability goes way beyond worms and performance in opinion polls. It instantaneously detects changes in emotion, identifies the drivers of reputation and conversation at any point in time, reveals the scale of influence, the growing risks, the clear opportunities to stand out among competitors.
For ultimate performance measurement, it is reputation measurement that reveals the 'how and what' of opportunity that will win the electorates vote for both the leader and the party. This is what is possible.
· Save Resource and Energy With The World's Largest Door To Door Canvassing. Through big data reputation analysis, leaders can not only see what is important to their potential supporters, they can be informed how best to engage them, from subject matter, to language, to the best time of day to reach them.
· Stop Guessing. See What To Change, How To Change It And When To Do It. They can track how successful each of their messages has been, not only in terms of visibility but how that message is being understood and echoed. They can even analyse it by local, regional, national or global geography and by demographic to tailor, almost personalise, their messages to resonate.
· Perform on Key Issues Knowing Where It Matters Demonstrating their performance among key issues such as the future of the NHS, the economy or immigration. It is now possible to see and understand the reputation that each of their competitors hold on the subject matter and in doing so see immediately how best to stand out with difference or to more closely align themselves with the electorate.
· Monitor Your Leader's Personal Performance. Each leader can now see which of their speeches, which of their phrases are resonating with and being repeated by the potential voter. They can mirror the language being used by nurses, students, the unemployed in relation to the subjects that matter to them. They can see which of their behaviours, or those of other leaders attracted most support and understand why. Their personal reputation can be measured in as much detail as that of their party and is a key part of performance.
· Win Hearts and Minds By Relating To and Reacting To The Voters' Emotion. Tracking emotion of voters towards the party and the leader 24/7 reveals immediate success stories and risks and gives the opportunity to adapt messages and communications with an early warning system and/or greater impact.
· Know How Consistent You Are In Performance. Retrospective analysis of data up to five years allows each party to examine the successes and failures of each of the party's actions day by day, month by month right up to the last general election. Proof and evidence of best and worse practices are quantified and qualified. Global analysis allows behaviours of global elections and party leaders such as Obama to be compared, contrasted and learned from.
Reputation is a living, breathing asset, not a set of questions asked in one moment to one section of people or a button pressed to move a worm. Those who succeed in their performance to win the General Election or in any organisation will be those who firstly realise that reputation is the reality around their performance and the modern possibilities around insight and intelligence that can now be provided.

text: Is atheism the only alternative to religion? Not at all says Michele Sevacko, a New Thought minister. There are many choices to make and none of them are wrong! Each choice will take you to a new place of seeing who you are and why you are here to live this lifetime. So choose, choose again, and keep choosing. Your life is yours to live. It is your choice to be a unique gift to the planet. To go beyond religion is to be free from the slavery of dogma and the smallness of religious thinking. Being religious and being spiritual are both choices to make. You get to decide just what you will embra

New Organ Discovered in Human Digestive System
A mighty membrane in our digestive system had been considered a fragmented structure for hundreds of years but it turns out to be single, and continuous. Named the mesentery, the structure has been upgraded to an organ.
The organ always been there, performing important functions in our stomach that affect systems throughout the body. However, its true identity remained unknown until now.
The mesentery is a double fold of the peritoneum, which connects the intestine to the abdomen. Studying the structure as an organ could lead to better treatments of abdominal and digestive diseases.
China is Planning to Send a Record 30 Missions into Space in 2017
Earlier, China has revealed its space plans for the next five years and showed the intentions of reaching Mars and exploring the far side of the moon.
Now, China has planned to send some 30 space missions in 2017, which is a record breaking number in the country's own space history.
According to latest report, Long March-5 - China's largest carrier rocket – will carry Chang'e -5 probe into space which aims to complete a soft landing on moon's surface this year and strive to attain extraterrestrial sampling.
China had launched 22 and 19 space missions in 2016 and 2015 respectively.
The Location of Mysterious Fast Radio Bursts Pinpointed for the First Time
For the first time, astronomers have detected the source of fast radio bursts, which flash for just a few milliseconds in the universe and then gone forever.
Using sensitive radio observations from the Very Large Array, researchers have narrowed down the location of fast radio bursts and found that they likely came from a dim dwarf galaxy 2.5 billion light years from Earth.
Researchers have recorded just 18 of these momentarily pulses of radio waves to date but studies suggest there could be as many as 10,000 of them lighting up the skies each day. The radio bursts apparently do not follow any certain pattern and their unpredictability makes them even more difficult to spot.
Two Colliding Stars will Create a New Bright Star in 2022
In five years, a pair of star will merge and burst into a red nova. The event will produce such a tremendous amount of light that it could be visible with the naked eye millions of miles away from the the Earth's surface and will briefly add a new star in the universe.
The pair of star, called KIC 9832227, is located in the Cygnus constellation about 1,800 light years away from Earth. The duo was originally discovered in more than a decade ago but it became a subject of intense research after being identified as a binary star system.
The two stars of binary system are orbiting around each other. Observations suggest that their orbital period is currently just under 11 hours. As that period gets shorter, the stars will get closer and closer to each other, which inevitably lead to a massive collision.
A Huge Iceberg is Set to Break off from Antarctica
An iceberg the size of the state of Delaware is about to break away from Antarctica and researchers say that it would be one of the biggest dislodged chunks of ice ever recorded.
The potential devastating event is driven by a long-running rift spreading across fourth largest ice shelf of Antarctica, Larsen C. The crack has grown dramatically over the last month and now just 20 kilometers of ice is keeping this massive chunk of ice from floating away. The resulting iceberg will not only raise sea levels but also expected to destabilize the whole ice shelf.

We spend almost 40% of our time at AMC hiring Heads of Sales for our clients across all asset classes and strategies. Sales appears to be a straightforward process but leadership of these teams requires focus - both your own but also ensuring focus of your teams. Enjoyed this article on ensuring that focus.
Sales professionals make decisions every day about what prospects and customers they will be meeting with, what products or services they will highlight in their pitches, and even what elements of your value proposition they will emphasize. McKinsey & Co. research on B2B purchases indicates that 25% of the buying decision depends on the interaction with the sales professional. That puts your strategy in the hands of inexperienced company strategists who are focused, often solely, on how to reach a quota. Are you comfortable with that? If not, there are three things you should do to make sure that your salespeople understand and implement your strategy as you intended it, and that their actions are in line with your goals, not just the target they need to hit.

Thursday preview: BoE and ECB in focus
(Sharecast News) - All eyes will be on the Bank of England on Thursday, with recent better-than-expected readings on the gross domestic product and wages, alongside an apparently more optimistic tone around Brexit talks out of Brussels leading some observers to speculate that the next hike in Bank Rate might not wait until the end of 2019.
Nevertheless, the present fluid political situation domestically, as well as ongoing caution around the Brexit negotiations, mean that most analysts suspect rate-setters will want to keep all their options quite open.
Officials at the European Central Bank are also set to meet to decide on rates and face many of the same uncertainties as their peers at the Old Lady on Threadneedle Street, including as regards Brexit, global trade spats and the risk of spillover effects from political horse trading.
The latest CPI data in the States could also easily move markets to the extent that it deviates from economists' forecasts.
On the corporate front meanwhile, Ophir Energy and GVC Holdings are among the companies that are set to update investors.
For the former, UBS said it would be looking for an update on the carrying value for Fortuna Block R, with the Swiss broker anticipating an impairment charge of -$604.0m.
Analyst Amy Wong is also keen for an update on the fourth phase of Bualuang, believing that it will allow the company to beat its own guidance for full-year production, which she put at 12,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Similarly, more information was awaited on the Santos acquisition, which was expected to close in the third quarter and to double its output
For GVC Holdings, Numis is forecasting that the sports-betting company will publish six-month sales of £1,715.0m for operating profits of £358.0m on a 130 basis point increase in margins to 21.3%.
Despite the "very challenging" second half comparative, analyst Richard Stuber expects the firm to confirm that it is on track to reach its expectations for the fiscal year.
Indeed, Stuber reiterated the company as his 'top pick' in the gaming sector, thanks to its strong trading momentum, earnings support from cost synergies, medium-term US opportunities and its undemanding valuation.

I've Got To Run Away
This week has been long awaited by my entire family. I'm one of those guys who often has just a little too much going on. I can't even remember what it's like to not have someone calling my name. I'm a local pastor, hospice chaplain, writer, husband, father and person who never feels there is enough time in the day. I do know this, getting away on vacation is really not an option. Here is why:
#1 We all need time to unwind. For me that only happens when I get away from the normal grind, demand, and temptation of helping just one more person. We all need to set aside time to chill, relax, and learn to breath again. I've often said, I can only be as helpful as I am healthy. The person who never slows down is headed for burnout.
#2: We all need time to refocus. Every time I get away from life's daily demands, I discover things I've really been missing. I realize how much my kids need my undivided attention. I realize that the moments in front of me will never come again. I realize that some things can wait and other's can't. I generally come back more focused on things that matter most and not so stressed about the things that don't.
#3: We all need time to have fun. I've always enjoyed a good laugh and having a blast. Sadly, too much of my life in the past has revovled around playing rescue ranger. When we take things too seriously our lives become just one big ball of stress. There are times as a pastor I tell myself I don't have time to have fun like everyone else. There are too many lost souls and people who need me to be available in there time of need. I still believe in what God has called me to do, but I'm convinced I must live more balanced. You should take life seriously, but you also need moments of absolute fun. Oh, the things we laugh about when me, my wife, and four boys get together.
#4: We all need time to hear from God. Headed to the beach again this year, I always try to take a few prayer walks by the waves. I find that I hear God's voice even clearer as I'm not thinking about the next appointment or deadline. We all need times daily and often that we get away and just seek to hear from God. He always speaks to our heart when we wholeheartedly seek his heart.
#5: We all need to make memories. Memories are made as we make the most of the times we have with each other. None of us are promised tomorrow. Nothing brings a brighter smile than pondering the good old days. Being able to look back and say, I'm glad we did that. Things may change, but memories last a lifetime. One of my goals with every vacation is to make memories that last.
Well, this article is one of the few things left on my to do list before vacation. By the time some of you read this, I'll be floating down a lazy river, riding waves, walking down the beach, relaxing, and hopefully making memories that will out live me.
*You're always welcomed to join me Sundays 10:30a.m. @ the Colleton Rec Center. Refuge Church will meet you where you are, encourage your soul, and never leave you the same!

The Mary Kay Foundationsm Honors Domestic Violence Awareness
Month by Issuing $3 Million in Grants to 150 Domestic Violence Shelters
Across the Country
November 26, 2018, Des Moines, Iowa – In support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, The Mary Kay Foundation announced today it is awarding $3 million in grants to 150 domestic violence shelters across the country. Children & Families of Iowa's Domestic Violence Services has received a $20,000 grant to support local survivors of domestic violence in Iowa. This year's grant contribution brings the Mary Kay Foundation's total investment in its shelter grant program to $50 million.
The Mary Kay Foundation was established in 1996 with the overarching purpose of supporting issues impacting women. In 2000, The Foundation expanded to include ending domestic violence as part of its mission. The Foundation is committed to funding the life-saving work of women's shelters and the annual shelter grant program has helped finance critical needs including emergency shelter, transitional housing, counseling and legal aid. All of these resources support women and children as they seek refuge and relief on their journey to an abuse-free life. This year, more than 1,200 organizations applied for the Mary Kay Foundation shelter grants.
"At Mary Kay, we believe in helping women improve their circumstances and live their best lives. One in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime and it is our responsibility to support the women's shelters that aid these survivors," said President of The Mary Kay Foundation Board of Directors Michael Lunceford. "At the heart of The Foundation's work is the shelter grant program which is actively supported by our independent sales force. We're proud that our commitment makes such a powerful impact in local communities and in the lives of domestic violence survivors across the country."
According to the National Network to End Domestic Violence, more than 72,000 adult and child victims receive domestic violence services across the United States in just one day. Unfortunately, in the same period of time, more than 11,000 requests for services are unmet due to a lack of resources.
Children & Families of Iowa's Domestic Violence Services:
Between July 1, 2017, and June 30, 2018, Children & Families of Iowa (CFI) served 638 individuals at its Domestic Violence Shelter and 3,988 through Domestic Violence Outreach Services.
Since 1979, CFI has provided the highest quality of care to individuals and families through the following domestic violence programs focused on prevention, intervention, and recovery:
–Emergency Shelter: Survivors and families find safety and security at a 62-bed safe shelter that serves children and adults of all ages and genders.
–Crisis Line Services: Phones are answered 24/7 by trained domestic violence advocates. Family, friends, and individuals can call at any time.
–Health Advocacy: CFI partners with hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities to provide medical assistance to survivors. CFI helps clients develop safety plans to stabilize their emotional, psychological, and physical wellbeing.
–Legal Advocacy: CFI and the court system work together to assist with civil protective orders and provide legal support. A police advocate provided by CFI is available at the Des Moines Police Department to provide follow-ups on domestic violence incidents.
–Housing Advocacy: Survivors are eligible to receive housing assistance from CFI, including utility and rental assistance.
–Community Education: CFI provides educational seminars to better prepare the community to recognize, prevent, and respond to domestic violence.
The philosophies of trauma-informed care, self-sufficiency, and recovery are embedded into every CFI program, including all aspects of CFI's DV services. CFI is well positioned to assist clients from all stations of life, from infants to seniors.

Jewelry so worth it! Pleasant surprise
by Au N.
I received my shipment last Friday and was surprised with how good the quality of the products. My husband bought this pair of earrings and a necklace for me and I'm obsessed. The quality of the products are surprisingly good for the price.

Although Veronika Hubková studied economics, she has been sewing since childhood and decided to make something more of her hobby, resulting in her popular collection of upcycled women's fashion. All pieces are made from so-called "deadstock", leftover fabric scraps from textile mills that normally get thrown away, and resewn secondhand clothes. Veronika favors a limited number of simple and timeless cuts that can fit a variety of people, but she also offers tailored pieces. Prices range from CZK 500 – 1000.
"My sewing connects sustainability and fashion. I have two patterns for t-shirts, Which I try to make in the 'oversize' style because it's more likely to fit people. I only use deadstock fabric that sometimes has only one defect. I do not think that's a good reason to throw it away – it still has some value. " Veronika Hubková, hobby fashion designer

If you've heard the term "e-juice," "vape juice" or "e-liquid" before and not been sure what it was or what was in it, have no fear, because it is merely three names for the same thing. Or have you wondered what is in eJuice?
If I were writing its definition, it would go like this; ejuice, e-liquid, or vape juice is liquid that is infused, with many many flavors and different levels of nicotine. But I did find an official definition so I will share that with you.
Vape juices are mixed, by mixing nicotine and flavorings with a solvent — often propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, or a mixture of the two.
With the popularity of personal vaporizers and box mods, which are the electronic device that heats the liquid into a vapor, are on the rise. ejuice or vape juice interests have become a favorite subject throughout the world.
Furthermore, always remember ejuice, liquid, and vape juice is the same thing. Heck if you know that you are almost an expert!
Warning Label
Since this subject was made known to me in one of my comments, it opened my eyes to the fact my posts will read by people thinking about starting vaping. That kind of change my game plan a little because I never wanted to convince someone to vape only help those already vaping, vape on a budget.
I started vaping seven years ago as a way to quit smoking cigarettes, and if you aren't careful, you could spend thousands of dollars you didn't need to be staying away from local smoke shops and convenient stores. Altomently I want to help me save money by taking advantage of the savings found online.
Ok, I getting off subject a bit so let get to business and go over some of the health warnings. I will report that I have researched but If you want a complete list of anything or everything you need to visit the AMA website.
1. Does vaping effect my teeth and gums? The first report from the AMA says yes. Ingesting Nicotine can cause damage to your teeth. But then there was a story that told vaping wasn't harmful So If this subject alarms you, use google and read each report and make up your own.
2. The next big concern is whether or not vaping causes Popcorn Lung. The following is the ALA issues warning:
The chemicals found in e-cigarette liquid, known as "e-juice," may be a potential cause of popcorn lung. According to the American Lung Association, using electronic cigarettes or vaping, particularly the flavored varieties, can cause popcorn lung.
Picking The Nicotine Level
The strength you choose will be dependent upon your tolerance. Those that switch to vaping after being heavy smokers tend to prefer higher concentrations of nicotine.
For me, it was 16mgs, and then I moved down to 11mgs and sometimes going back 16mgs during stressful times.
But then again I was a pack and half smoker for close to thirty years. Those who smoked cigarettes only a small amount before switching to vaping tend to with lower strength e-liquid nicotine volumes.
The best bet is to experiment and see which nicotine strength works best for you. I recommend you start at a lower level and move up from there.
Be careful not to start too high at first because if it's too loud, you'll end up throwing it away and that is a massive waste of money. My partner is a manager at a big chain convenience store, and he gives me the 411 on how the vaping products are doing.
He told me a story about one of his regulars, a vast, robust truck driver, came in and purchased a reduced nicotine disposable e-cigarette because the last one was way too strong, so remember, start low and work up if you also have.
4 Main Ingredients
- Water – What can I say other than H2O! Make sure you drink as much as you can because nothing is better for you than water.
- Propolyne Glycol, a lot of your e-liquids, comes with PG based which gives the most flavor.
- Or Vegetable Glycerin – Some of our more popular flavors of vape juice come in VG for those who are sensitive to PG. VG based e-liquid does tend to give more vapor but is also thicker which may lessen the life of atomizers
- Only approved food grade flavors and Nicotine are mid in your eJuice, e liquids, or vape juice.
Why I Started Vaping with Vape Juice
It all started with sneaking cigarettes out of my parent's cigarette packs when I was a child and teenager. So I was a bit of a lost cause for when I was old enough to buy them myself. So yes I started young on my nicotine addiction rollercoaster ride.
So I became a regular smoker at eighteen and smoked for 30years. Now I have tried and failed to quit smoking because I knew it was terrible for me. Patches, the mint things, gum, and even some of those voodoo stop smoking tactics I found online. These things would not work therefore seven years ago when vaping came into the picture,
Vaping worked! It was gradual, but vaping helped me quit smoking. I have read all the articles about its dangers but compared to smoking cigarettes. Besides I read a report that their results could not prove vaping cause any of the preceding claims. Smoking cigarettes are 100 times more dangerous than vaping, in my opinion.
Therefore I chose the lessor, by far lesser of two evils. I think the world as a whole might be better without smoking anything, but if history has taught us anything, smokers are going to burn. Why not try to make it safer if we can, maybe not perfect but safer.
I hope I did an excellent job explaining, "What is in EJuice." Or ELiquid, or vape juice whatever you prefer to call that nicotine-infused juice. I want to thank the person who asked me why on a previous post. I like writing better when I can answer a question from the community. So leave your comments because your problem could be my next article. As always, I wish you all the best and many great days!

Buzz Lightyear originally appeared in the 1995 release of Disney's Toy Story. Since then he has gone on to appear in the two subsequent Toy Story films, his own feature film, a TV show and he ventured into space for a stay on the International Space Station. Buzz Lightyear was given to Andy (who owns all of the toys in Toy Story) as a gift for his birthday. After being unwrapped, Buzz insisted that he was the real Buzz Lightyear, not a toy. Conflict immediately arose between Woody and Buzz because it appeared that Buzz was taking over Woody's spot as Andy's favorite. This conflict eventually escalated and led to Woody and Buzz being trapped in Sid's house. After seeing his likeness on a TV commercial, Buzz realized his true identity and become depressed. He eventually overcomes this depression to help save Woody from Sid.
Buzz's rise in populartiy eventually caused him to outgrow the Toy Story franchise, and he went on to star in his own movie, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and in his own similarly named TV show. The spin-off movie and TV show both follow the real Buzz Lightyear on his mission to stop the Evil Emperor Zurg. Following the success of his show, Buzz got a chance to actually go into space aboard the Discovery Space Shuttle. Buzz got to stay aboard the International Space Station for 6 months as part of the educational NASA program Toys in Space. Buzz's popularity stems from his ability to connect with a large age group. His toy-like nature gives him appeal with younger children, and the space ranger motif makes him interesting to older children. This combination gives Buzz a certain cool that the other Toy Story characters don't have. We'll have to see what kind of adventures Buzz gets into in the new movie, but in the meantime check out these Buzz Lightyear costumes.
Only a few days left until Toy Story 3 hits theaters. Keep checking back for more profiles with interesting tidbits about your favorite characters. Don't forget to check out CostumeCity.Com's Toy Story costumes for everything you need to get ready for the new movie.

Lync 2013 Keeps Your Voice Mails Home
We continue to be impressed by the new features and functionally of Microsoft Lync 2013. Keeping your voice mails home is another one of those features that doesn't disappoint. If you're a fan of Lync's simultaneous ring or call forwarding features (I use it all the time), you may have had messages delivered on your cell phone's voice mail if it was off or without signal. That's because your provider's voice mail system picks up immediately instead of ringing to your phone, so Lync just does its job and passes the call along. This creates an inconsistency in the Unified Messaging solution and can be frustrating, especially when you're on vacation or overseas and other places where you rely mostly on e-mail for real-time communications.
Lync Server 2013 has an enhancement that practically eliminates these situations, detecting when your provider's voice mail picks up instead of you and has the voice mail delivered to your Inbox instead. It is called Voice Mail Escape. The way it works is quite simple: if the forwarded call gets picked up immediately (or way too quickly), Lync assumes your provider's voice mail picked it up and stops attempting to reach your cell. Lync then keeps ringing your desk and eventually goes to your Exchange Unified Messaging voice mail. Better yet, this feature can be enabled or disabled on a per-user or per-site basis, giving you the flexibility to exclude users who may be incredibly quick on the answer button, or just don't mind their messages going to their cell phones at all.
Here's the quick link on how to configure Voice Mail Escape on your Lync 2013 infrastructure.
To learn more about SWC's Microsoft Lync and Microsoft Exchange services, please join us for our next Unified Communications event.

I never make it through a Thanksgiving Day without remembering a particular incident that occurred some 12 years ago. In fact, I pray I never forget it. Here is my journal entrance dated 7/10/98...
I glanced around the room and thought to myself, "How sad." Though she lives in a huge antebellum home, her world exists within the confines of this small, square space. I had already noticed that when I drove up to the side of the house and got out of my car that the black shudders were barely hanging on their hinges, weeds had all but overtaken the yard and the house and that the steps were rotting. When I knocked, she didn't approach and let me in. I just opened the door and called her name. She heard and gave me entrance. This particular day, the curtains were drawn, lights were off; just a few rays filtered through whatever slits in the drapes they could find. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust. Attached to her small room was an even smaller kitchen/porch that had been added for convenience, I'm sure. A caretaker comes once a day to cook a meal for her and see to her needs. A portable toilet sat directly next to her bed. Sitting slightly angled to one other, we occupied the only chairs available. Two little bowls of candy, one with peppermint and the other with chocolate, rested on the small, round table that separated us. She confessed that cheese straws were kept hidden under her chair for really special guests. Her television set with a Bible and a magnifying glass tucked up under its stand completed the circle and seemed to make up the 3rd guest at our little party.
And so we visited. To be 96 years old, her mind is really quite sharp. She reminded me much of my own grandfather with her ability to remember details. She said she was watching the Braves tonight, able to call many of their names, but that there were several shows on CNN she enjoyed, too.
Because her eyesight is now so poor, she admitted to me that she cheats when she reads her Bible. "Cheat? How do you cheat when you read your Bible?" I questioned. "Oh, that's easy," she said. "I just 'read' the passages I know by heart. " I asked which ones that might be and she named Psalms 1, 23, and 100.
She talked about her family -- past and present. Both her dad and her husband died when they were 51 years old and she has lived as a widow for 45 years now. She has also lived in this same house all of her 96 years -- except, of course, when she went to Wesleyan College some 80 years prior. And though a staunch Baptist, she was quite proud of the fact that she is a direct descendant of Susannah Ansley Wesley! Quite a heritage, I must admit.
Living right across the street from the local United Methodist Church, she loves hearing the carillon bells chiming. She told me that one particular day, "Count Your Many Blessings" rang through the air, and so she decided, "Well, I'll do just that. I'll count my blessings -- I'll name them 'one by one'." And then she added, "However, I have so many, that by the time I got to 87, I was tired and just quit counting."
What a humbling moment for me as I sat there with this nanogenarian (and, yes, that's a real word -- I looked it up). Here is a woman whose entire existence is all within a 20 foot radius; whose only contact with the world is through a house phone, who cannot even walk outside and get her morning paper, and SHE tells ME she had to quit counting her blessings when she got to 87 because she just had so many.
O God, have mercy and forgive me for my murmuring and my complaining. Forgive me for my ingratitude and thanklessness. You have indeed given me so much! I ask for just one thing more: a grateful heart.
Just an ordinary moment...

CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith from a place of winter For the Years of Winter…
[I try to keep these columns to a readable length, around 500 words. Be warned; this is twice that. I apologize.]
It was literally, "I live and die with my team." That's what we say about our love of our sports teams, especially today as we start the baseball playoffs.
Twenty-two seasons ago, the Cincinnati Reds were entering the post-season. They had won their first game of the regular season and had never given up the lead. Now all they had to do was win out. [1]
I was starting the 8th month of my 12 months of chemotherapy, [2] following surgery on my birthday in February. My first oncologist told me I had one to two years. I wasn't sure if I would even make it through chemo.
But I had started my chemo season at the same time my team started the baseball season. They got out ahead on the first day and stayed there. Somehow it seemed if they could win, I could, too. For me, it was, "I live and die with my team."
I wasn't a Reds fan because I grew up in Oakland City, IN, the home of the Reds Hall of Fame center-fielder, Edd Roush. [3] His twin brother, Fred, was one of my coaches, and sometimes Edd, in retirement, hit line drives to us. Or because my great-uncle, Rufus McFarland, had played on the same teams as Edd and Fred as a kid, intending to go up to the majors together. [4]
No, I was a Reds fan because Grandma Mac was. That's mostly how we choose our teams. That was good enough 75 years ago, in the days of Ernie Lombardi. It was good enough in the days of Ted Kluzewski, of Johnny Bench and The Big Red Machine, of Eric Davis. It's good enough now, in the days of Joey Votto, when I'm one of only three Reds fans in the UP. [Helen and daughter Katie are the others.]
They were my team then; they are my team now. Not because they are better players or better people or better for society, but just because they are my team, because they were Grandma's.
Sports competition is a fun thing. We developed sports originally so we could compete without killing one another. You could be a winner without chopping someone's head off, or starving them out. If we competed to win at sports, then we wouldn't have to compete in everything else, to WIN at everyone else's expense in areas of social life where we needed to cooperate instead of compete in order to survive.
Unfortunately, sports winning has become a metaphor and model and excuse for competing at everything else, even the areas of life where cooperation works better than competition. We are constantly told that "government should be run more like a business" because the competitive element of business gets things done that cooperation can't. But it's business that should be run more like business. Government should be run more like government. Education should be run more like education. Church should be run more like church. One model, the sports model, does not fit all.
Vince Lombardi famously said that "Winning isn't the most important thing. It's the ONLY thing." We have taken that idea into government and education and religion. Winning isn't so we can be useful in society; it's its own goal. That's okay in sports, but it's a killer in the rest of life. Capitalism where only one team wins destroys competition which destroys capitalism
Competition is a useful tool for getting things done, but it is not the only one. More importantly, winning for its own sake actually destroys competition. I want the Reds to win, but not all the time. If one team wins all the time in sports, what you get is an empty field, because nobody else wants to play. If one team wins all the time in government, what you get is Mexico.
A couple of guys on Jesus' team, urged on by their soccer mom, argued about who should get the gold and silver medals in the Righteousness Olympics. Jesus said, "Whoever would be the winner among you must be the water boy." [Matthew 20:27, MSM] [5] Jesus was in favor of competition, but the winners aren't the ones who get the most power over the people, but the ones who get the most done for the people, not the ones who grind their opponents into the dust, but the ones who pull the most folks out of the mud.
Some future Edward Gibbon won't need 6 volumes to explain the decline and fall of the USA. He can just use two lines: Winning wasn't their most important thing. It was their only thing.
You're never too old to become a fan, but be careful when choosing between the Lombardi team and the Jesus team. You'll live and die with your team.
1] The Reds were in the NL West in 1990, with the Dodgers as their main challenge, which accounts for Katie McFarland [now Kennedy], who bleeds red, saying about the Groshong chemo catheter Dr. Alan Hatfield punched into my superior vena cava, "Oh, no, it's Dodger blue." The Reds won the division by 5 games over the Dodgers. Then they beat the Pirates, 4 games to 2 to win the NL pennant. No one gave them a chance to beat the Oakland As in the World Series, but they swept it, 4 games to none.
2] I was on a clinical trial to learn if colon cancer patients needed 6 or 12 months of chemo. Naturally I was in the 12 month group. We proved you only need 6. If you're one of those 6 month people, you owe me.
3] I wrote the biographical entry for Edd in Scribner's AMERICAN LIVES.
4] McFarlands were not very tall in those days. At 5 feet 3 inches, Uncle Rufus intended to be the shortest man in the majors. Unfortunately, they didn't want a stop who really was short. In the next generation, my father was the tallest of 7 children at 5'7". He married into a family with tall men, so my brother and I tend to look down on the rest of the family at reunions.
5] MSM is The McFarland Sports Metaphor translation of the Bible.
The "place of winter" mentioned in the title line is Iron Mountain, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where life is defined by winter even in the summer!

State-owned power generator NTPC Ltd has granted a contract to transport 1.3mn tonne of the 5 MT additional fuel offered by Coal India, reported Economic Times.
A senior NTPC executive said: "In spite of so many odds, NTPC has already awarded contract for 1.3 MT and the process of award for the balance quantity is in progress in war footing wherever possible."
Recently, NTPC was offered coal after its stocks was dropped. The ET report reads: "It was offered 1.5 MT from Central Coalfields (CCL), 0.5 MT from Bharat Coking Coalfields (BCCL) and 0.5 MT from Northern Coalfields (NCL), among others."
According to the executive, the additional expense incurred in transportation will in turn increase the cost of production, which will then be sold to customers.

Celebrity Influence And Popularity
Celebrity influence is as an effective, and free, marketing technique used by the fashion industry to make their products stand out in the world of fame and fashion. Like all fashion enthusiasts, if you want to follow the latest fashion trends, you will definitely need to consider what celebrities wear. Getting your hands on products such as creative recreation footwear, labelled as the "celebrity shoe", is essential if you plan to step into the world of fame and fashion. From Kobe Bryant to P Diddy, this particular brand has been popular among celebrities for years, making it a must-have in our fashion-crazy society. Celebrities can be directly responsible for the latest fashion trends that appear in the market.
A Vibrant Variety
The popularity of a fashion brand depends on a number of factors, although a point of difference and something which stands out from the crowd is probably the most crucial. Fashion enthusiasts around the world crave styles that are unique and rare, yet attractive enough to make them stand out from the crowd and be noticed at all times. One such product is creative recreation footwear, available in a vibrant variety of dynamic colours and styles. With such a selection to choose from, this product justifiably guarantees fame and appreciation in the world of fashion. Being a casual clothing item, the designers of this product have the licence to become as creative and bold as they desire. This means that the customers get the opportunity to buy products that are trendsetters and unique in every way.
The Affordable Urban Uprising
The price of clothes is always a focus for the wider public, especially in the current economy. For an addition to your wardrobe to truly make you stand out, it must be popular, attractive, unique, accessible and most of all, affordable. Without fulfilling the mentioned criteria, no product can ever be termed as a universal fashion item that ultimately leads you to fame in your fashion-crazy society.

US visa exemption rules in Republican crosshairs
[WASHINGTON] Congressional Republicans sounded an alarm on Wednesday over rules allowing millions of Europeans to travel to the United States without a visa, warning that jihadists could exploit weak links in the programme.
The Islamic State and Al-Qaeda extremist groups "have incurred great losses in Syria and Iraq," Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told a hearing on the security of the US Visa Waiver Programme (VWP).
"Yet as the territory under their control shrinks, we are seeing an exodus of foreign fighters returning to their homelands," he said.
House Republican Mike Gallagher pointed to deadly attacks in Paris, Brussels, Nice and Berlin as examples of why the US should increase its vigilance.
"The majority of these attackers were European citizens with valid passports, so it is easy to imagine any one of them gaining access to this country through a valid visa or through the Visa Waiver Programme," said Mr Gallagher, who heads the Task Force on Denying Terrorists Entry to the United States.
"While there are numerous benefits to our country that stem from our welcoming immigration system - like tourism, trade, and business - we should never cease to examine our processes through the lens of a terrorist in search of potential gaps."
Millions of travellers from 38 wealthy countries, including 30 European nations, currently benefit from the exemption, which allows them to come to the United States for 90 days without having to go through a lengthy visa process.
Only a simple Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) form need be filled out online beforehand.
But since the attacks that bloodied France in 2015, committed by or with the help of jihadists bearing French or Belgian passports, many lawmakers see the exemption as a dangerous security flaw.
In December 2015, a few weeks after the Paris attacks, Congress tightened VWP rules, banning people from using the exemption if they had traveled after March 2011 to any of seven countries deemed to be risks: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
It also barred citizens from VWP countries who had dual nationalities from Iran, Iraq, Sudan or Syria - for example a Frenchman with Syrian citizenship - from taking advantage of the exemption.
Since last October, more than 16,000 people have had their ESTA request rejected according to these criteria, said John Wagner, a deputy commissioner for US Customs and Border Protection.
The individuals affected are not automatically denied US entry, but must apply for a visa from a US consulate where comprehensive security measures are undertaken, such as scanning fingerprints and conducting interviews.
