The Thrills and Excitement of the Highlight of The Jump Season
It is said horse racing is the sport of kings, and there is nothing more exciting, thrilling nor royally entertaining than The Cheltenham Festival it is the pinnacle of the jump season, Cheltenham Festival Racing is held in March each year, if you are serious about horse racing or just enjoy the thrills and spills of great races then The Cheltenham Festival is certainly not to be missed.
The finest of horses, trainers and jockeys pit their wits against each other to see who will be crowned supreme and of course pick up the lucrative purses associated with the event and with four days of races it surely is a roller-coaster of adrenaline and excitement as one of the UK's most prestigious horse racing events of the year.
The prize money up for grabs is second only to the Grand National so every trainer, owner and jockey are out to carve their names in the history of The Cheltenham Festival whose origins go back as far as 1860. Of course the main event is one that is the most famous in horse racing and that is The Gold Cup, which can be almost likened to the 'Holy Grail' when it comes to trophies one should have in ones racing wins cabinet. The Cheltenham festival also includes another big chase of the season which is the Foxhunters, run on the Friday over the same course as the Cheltenham Gold Cup, and is sometimes referred to as the Amateurs Cup, but regardless of name, still a prestigious race to win.

Remember the first law of thermodynamics?
It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.
Often, I wish this law governs scaling B2B lead generation and sales, too.
As it turns out, this wish will never come true.
Because in helping several businesses, founders and entrepreneurs, I've noticed the contradiction.
Scaling B2B lead generation and sales
Think about it. Founders, entrepreneurs and business owners create products that solve real problems and bring them to market.
Through their own networks, word of mouth and a touch of luck, they're able to nurture market opportunities so well that the momentum grows beyond themselves.
Ironically, at that point when they need to scale, destruction sets in. Unknowingly.
This is because despite all the good intentions to hire more people to take charge of the bigger market opportunities, they cling on to toxic misconceptions.
Mostly, misconceptions about how a repeatable and scalable sales process works.
Here are five main misconceptions I've come across.
1) Overestimating the quality of inbound leads
One B2B sales leader targeting the mid-market once told me that they had close to 1,000 "hot" inbound leads.
He was stoked.
I was cautious.
He expected deals to close within 15 business days.
Assuming the lead quality (aka "hot leads") was true, it'll be a major hurdle surmounted.
It turned out 70% of the supposed 'hot' leads were of poor quality.
Most of them had signed up about 3 – 6 months ago. And no action had been taken on them since.
Additionally, several leads had invalid emails.
There was a massive qualification challenge.
Overrating the quality of leads falsely lead entrepreneurs and founders to overestimate the sales opportunities for their products.
They tend to push this false expectation on their new sales hires in a form of unrealistic quotas.
This, in turn, compels the team to focus on the wrong things (e.g. setting up demos instead of qualifying the leads).
2) Underestimating sales cycles
Sales cycles vary depending on the market you're targeting.
Most entrepreneurs and founders acquire their first few customers through word of mouth and network effects.
As a result, they do not ascertain an accurate timing of how the market's sales cycle works.
Look, convincing someone who knows you to try your product is very different from starting a conversation with someone who doesn't even know you exist.
Getting a meeting through cold emails and phone call is a different beast.
Scaling startup sales through systematic outbound and inbound methods take time.
Your pipeline will smile only after months.
Remember the 30 Day Rule in sales prospecting?
It's this: "the prospecting you do in this 30-day period will pay off for the next 90 days".
Therefore, it is completely amateurish to think that without any sales process set up whatsoever, your sales team can initiate, nurture, and close a B2B deal in 10 days.
Founders, small business owners and entrepreneurs with this misconception push this incredibly false expectation on their sales hires.
And even tie compensation to it.
Their hires won't be able to close and will lose motivation.
Negative karma.
3) Underestimating the role of multiple sales touches
I've spoken and written a lot about the need for multiple sales touches and particularly avoiding assumptions during those touches.
Rarely does anyone engage, nurture and close a deal with one sales touchpoint!
Surprisingly (actually shockingly), some founders tend not to see the point of a sales process with multiple touch points.
Part of the reason for this misconception is genuine.
Until that point of bringing on more sales reps, the founder has neither reached out at scale to potential customers nor tracked sales activities in the past.
This leaves her with unrealistic ideas as to what would or wouldn't work.
As a result, she undermines the time factor needed to create a truly scalable and predictable sales process.
She considers the different sales touches and tracking as a waste of time or resource.
4) Underestimating the role of product and industry training
Most small business owners and entrepreneurs are very knowledgeable about their industries and products.
Heck, some have 10, 20, even 50 years of experience of knowledge split among them.
But too often, they underestimate the role product and industry knowledge in enabling their sales teams.
The best sales organizations understand the ramp times for sales reps, if enablement is done right, can be between 3-6 months.
For example, Dev Ittycheria, CEO of MongoDB talks about how he dedicates a whole team to sales enablement and productivity.
Look, your sales hires may be brilliant.
But if you do not set up a reasonable time plan to train them about your product and industry, you'll short-circuit their productivity and performance.
Put them in real prospect facing role and iterate their conversations and demos during a period of time.
They will not know everything you know in 30 days or even 60 days.
But they will become better. That increased knowledge will make a huge impact on their close rates.
5) Misconstruing the role of initial pilot customers and partners in b2b lead generation
Recently one founder told me:
"We have a check of $4M dollars from a venture capital firm, and they are willing to give this to us if we bring in at least 10 paying customers."
Great software, but no paying customers. Classic scenario.
The underlying challenge is that when founders eventually acquire initial paying customers (mostly through their networks and word of mouth), they assume that it'll be the same process for scaling their sales.
This process of network effects that got you the initial partners or customers is very different from the one that will help you scale. Adding more salespeople is a different dynasty.
If you do not understand this, you'll compromise the momentum of setting up a repeatable process.

© 2017 IEEE. Distributed generation (DG) is performing progressively significant part in modern power systems. The main objective of this research is to provide a brief review of distributed control structures used so far to control an autonomous AC microgrid system. The distributed control for both grid-connected and autonomous microgrid is current developments for their several advantages compared to conventional central control system comprising the system trustworthiness, lessening its sensitivity to failures, and removing the necessity for a central computing and communication unit. The complete control scheme is divided into three basic control levels, such as primary, secondary and tertiary control level and control structures are considered here for autonomous operation mode. Trends and different approaches used until now, in above control levels are distinctly stated for understanding a brief overview.

Having become an instant fan of Bellagio's green beans with salted duck egg and eaten it twice within the last three weeks, I was eager to recreate it at home. A quick search confirmed that the dish was simple enough to make, requiring few ingredients and steps.
I went to Carrefour, picked up a vacuum-sealed salted duck egg (咸蛋, 2.4 RMB) and a pack of organic yardlong beans (豇豆, 9.2 RMB) that looked like what I had at the restaurant.
(A note on some confusing terminology. Most restaurants seem to refer to anything resembling fried string beans as 四季豆 (sijidou), which translates to green/string/French beans, but what I bought was 豇豆 (jiangdou), which is the cowpea or yardlong bean. Check out the difference. I think I prefer the thinner yardlong bean, but the two can be used pretty much interchangeably.)
The organic cowpea beans were almost twice as expensive than the non-organic string beans, but looked a lot better, so I figured what the hell.
The beans were fun to handle but annoying to chop as they were so long. I quickly got tired of trying to cut them into 1cm bits…
I then fried the beans with some garlic, added the duck egg and some salt, and threw in a bit of sweet corn to balance out the flavours. Though beans are usually subjected to deep-frying in Chinese cooking, I hadn't the heart — or the oil or the wok — to do so. But the result was delicious, salty, crunchy, with none of that squeakiness I hate about some home-cooked beans (that are either not cooked enough, or not cooked with enough oil). It's a perfect dish to accompany rice, but since it wasn't too salty it was fine to eat right off the plate (I had some boiled purple sweet potatoes on the side).
I'd never really considered incorporating fresh peas or beans in our home-cooked meals, mostly because having to manually remove the tough "string" of each pod seemed like more work than it was worth. But I'd mistakenly dismissed all fresh beans from my experience with only one or two types (snap peas, I'm lookin at you). These cowpea beans do not require stringing, and apart from their unwieldy length, are pretty much no-fuss. Thanks to Bellagio, I now have a new veggie to work with, woohoo!
Beans with salted duck egg
300g fresh yardlong beans/other long beans, chopped into very short sections, ends removed
1 salted duck egg (ready to eat)
5 cloves garlic, minced
Corn kernels (canned or frozen, optional)
1. Heat 3 tbsp oil on medium-heat heat. Add garlic and beans and fry for 3 minutes.
2. Chop up egg into very small pieces. Mix both yolk and white evenly into beans and add salt to taste. Add corn now if applicable, and keep frying until beans are done. Serve with rice.

As Americans – and as regularly demonstrated here in Park Ridge – we seem to have a hard time distinguishing between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. The former is for remembering those who died while serving in our country's armed forces. The latter is for those who served and survived.
In other words: Today and tomorrow – and not Memorial Day – is the time to thank living veterans for their service. But we owe veterans more than just our thanks one day a year.
The Thousand Oaks, CA shooting last week is just one illustration of that point. The shooter, a 28 year-old former Marine who saw 7 months of combat in Afghanistan, reportedly had difficulty re-adapting to civilian life, as do many veterans.
Whether manifesting itself as PTSD, unemployment, homelessness, addiction and even suicide, the problems of too many veterans have not been treated with the dignity, the respect and the effectiveness they deserve. The services provided by the Veterans Administration (the "VA") too often have been inconsistent and too variable among the VA's 1,243 facilities.
Lengthy wait times for treatment have become the rule rather than the exception at many facilities. A 2014 audit found that more than 57,000 veterans had been waiting more than 90 days just for an appointment, while an additional 64,000 who requested medical care but were not added to a VA waiting list.
Although President Trump signed the largest budget ever for the Department of Veterans Affairs, that still does not appear to be money enough to address the high costs of their devastating injuries and related health issues. But those veterans who have fought for our freedom and our democracy deserve the best care we can offer.
So besides thanking our veterans for their service, let's contact our senators and congressmen to demand the kind of care they deserve.
That's a debt of honor all of us owe them.

Please wait (up to a minute) while we process your order.
Thank you.
Tonight, I adapted Donna Hay's Quinoa and Zucchini Burger recipe to make it work for my clean eating. The dish comes together in no time and is a great meal to make for the entire family. Delicious!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the quinoa, zucchini, mint, eggs, flour, salt and black pepper.
Flour your hands and gently form the mixture into 4-5 patties about 1/2" thick. Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a cast iron or nonstick skillet and cook the patties on medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the patties are golden in color.
I served mine with tomato vinaigrette, some smashed avocado, and lettuce. Enjoy!

Don't care about privacy
Today I heard someone say again: "I don't care which data they gather about me. I have nothing to hide".
Let's turn this around then and imagine your offline life for a moment, shall we:
All envelopes of personal mail arrive in your home mailbox copied by an organization you don't know. You don't know what happens with those copies. Nobody ever told you about the copies. You also have not idea how long they are held and what for. The same happens for the letters you send and to the letters your companions receive and so forth.
That organization also collects all receipts of your purchases (including for delicate items or government critical literature) and lines them up as a shopping history along with a movement trail and the entire history of your life. Every single step.
All of this sits in a box with your name on it, address, birthdate, personal features and preferences (including sexual orientation and many details you try to hide behind curtains in your apartment).
They have the key to your apartment even, the code to your bank account, in fact all keys to anything you lock up to protect it from unauthorized use.
Only: you never authorized anybody, nor do you know anything about this organization, how proper they are, who - if anyone - controls them, how they are guided or misguided.
Imagine that for a moment, in your 'normal', cozy offline world. What is different with your online activities that you just don't FUCKING care?

Every girl owns a ton of lipsticks. That being said, not all lipsticks are made the same. Have you ever noticed the different types of lipstick tip shapes? Turns out, there's actually a connection between yourself and lipstick tip shapes. Take a look at the image below. Which one looks like your go-to lipstick, A, B or C?
RELATED: What your hair part says about you
A. Diagonal tip
You're a perfectionist, whether it's in the grand scheme of life or the tiniest of details. Everything you do has to be done just right, everything in your room has its exact designated location. Most importantly, you treat all your belongings as if they're the last on Earth, which is why even your most-used lipstick would seem as good as new.
RELATED: What your ring finger length says about you
B. Flat-top tip
You seek balance in your life, literally and figuratively. You probably do yoga at least twice a week. You also always want to make sure everything is done fairly, that both sides are heard, and that everyone has a say in a situation. You're a natural leader because of these traits because you're so rational and level-headed.
RELATED: What your toe length says about you
C. Sharp diagonal tip
You're a bit on the wild side and there's no one else in this world who could possibly be like you. You have such a distinct personality that you always find yourself and your friends saying that given certain situations, that's sooo you. That's a great quality to have too because it means you're one of a kind and irreplaceable!

Are the U.S. and China "Destined for War"?
Are the U.S. and China "destined for war"? Harvard professor Graham Allison posed that question in a provocative book published last summer. I've written previously in this space about Allison's thesis, but it seems newly relevant in light of developments over the last month, if not the last few days.
The gist of Allison's argument is that the modern world's two most powerful nations are stumbling into a "Thucydides Trap." That's Allison's shorthand for the theory of an ancient Greek general who identified sudden, significant shifts in the relative strength of major powers as a primary cause (if not the primary cause) of military conflict. Thucydides, considered by many the world's first true historian, floated the idea in his chronicle of the Peloponnesian Wars, the series of devastating conflicts between the two most powerful Greek city states, Athens and Sparta, in the fifth century BCE. Thucydides posited that, whatever superficial frictions and flashpoints might be blamed for hostilities between the two sides, the underlying cause of war was the frustration of leaders in the rising power, Athens, and the fear the growing strength in Athens inspired among leaders of the established power, Sparta.
Allison sees the same dynamic in conflicts between a rising England versus the Dutch Republic in the 17th century, a rising Germany versus Britain in the early 20th century, and a rising Japan versus the United States in the 1940s. In his book he argues that Thucydides' theory perfectly explains the growing animosity between the U.S. and China. Allison doesn't say war between the U.S. and China is inevitable. But he does argue that, "on the current trajectory, war between the U.S. and China in decades ahead is not just possible, but more likely than currently recognized."
Allison expanded on those ideas in an appearance at the Asia Society here in Hong Kong in late April. He got a big laugh by observing that, if Hollywood were to produce a "Thucydides Trap" movie depicting the clash of the modern era's two great powers, Central Casting couldn't have contrived more perfect antagonists than Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. (Alec Baldwin, call your agent!) The line stuck with me, though, because in the weeks since, the two leaders have seemed to be reading almost line-for-line from the Thucydides script.
As I write this (Saturday night China time, Saturday morning in the U.S.), U.S. commerce secretary Wilbur Ross is dining with Chinese economy czar Liu He in the Diaoyutai state guesthouse in Beijing in a last-ditch effort to forge a U.S.-China trade compromise and defuse a round of tit-for-tat trade tariffs that could affect hundreds of billions of dollars worth of goods and services. The discussions seem unlikely to achieve a breakthrough given that Trump on Tuesday announced that he would proceed with tariffs on $50 billion of Chinese imports and introduce new limits on Chinese investments in U.S. high-tech industries. The U.S. president's announcement came only days after his treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin declared the U.S. trade war with China to be "on hold."
Meanwhile at a security conference in Singapore this morning, U.S. defense secretary James Mattis assailed the Chinese government for ramping up its military presence on a string of contested land outcroppings in the South China Sea, decrying the deployment of Chinese weapons there as meant for "purposes of intimidation and coercion."
A trade war and conflict over the South China Sea are among the possible "paths to war" Allison considers in his book. Others include the collapse of North Korea, conflict involving a third party such as Korea or Japan, and a face-off over Taiwan. Every scenario remains in play.
In other ways, though, Allison's invocation of Thucydides feels too neat. In the Peloponnesian Wars, the rising power was Athens, an expansionist, freewheeling democracy with an unbeatable maritime fleet, while the incumbent power was Sparta, ruled by an austere and conservative warrior-caste revered for its prowess in fighting on land. And yet, in Allison's analogy, China is the modern Athens, while the U.S. is the equivalent of Sparta.
And the eventual outcome of the Peloponnesian Wars offers sobering lessons for both Xi and Trump. In the end, Athens, the rising power, was defeated, never again to regain its global preeminence. Sparta prevailed, thanks largely to the intervention of Persia, a reminder—at a time when Trump is imposing tariffs on Germany, Japan, South Korea and Canada—of the value of strategic alliances.

Economy and Trade
A lukewarm welcome. Close to 230 Chinese A shares were included in MSCI's emerging market's index yesterday. The A shares are being introduced to the index in two stages, with the second step coming in August. Upon completion, China will occupy 42% of the index. Yesterday's debut was largely seen as symbolic, as markets in China didn't react strongly to the news and most of the included stocks declined. CNBC
On again, off again. The trade war is back on, as President Trump announced plans to slap a 25% tariff on $50 billion of Chinese imports. China's commerce ministry criticized Trump for "contradicting" agreements made during recent trade discussions. This same week, China's state council announced it would cut import tariffs on a range of consumer products by as much as 12 percentage points. South China Morning Post
The visible hand. Traders claim that Chinese regulators are increasingly influencing the Chinese stock market to make it appear less volatile. Brokers may be instructed not to make disruptive deals during politically sensitive times and are occasionally contacted directly if they are about to act against government wishes. The interference has created a market that doesn't reflect the whims of supply and demand. Wall Street Journal
New York, New York. Tencent is preparing to list its music venture in New York in a $30 billion IPO. The choice of New York is a blow to Hong Kong, which had hoped its recently relaxed regulations would inspire more Chinese tech companies to float on the market. Tencent dominates 78% of the Chinese music streaming industry having signed a number of distribution agreements with Western labels. Financial Times
Tech and Innovation
Smart money. SenseTime has accumulated over $1 billion of funds in a little under two months, becoming the world's most valuable AI start-up. The tech firm raked in $620 million in C+ fundraising this week and accrued $600 million in C round funding last April. The group will use the capital to expand overseas. TechCrunch
Blockchain backing. President Xi included blockchain in a list of "breakthrough" technologies during a speech at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The comment reaffirmed China's interest in the tech behind Bitcoin despite the Party's frequent crackdowns on cryptocurrencies. Coindesk
Meals sans wheels. Food delivery app Ele.me gained government approval to run the country's first real-time drone delivery routes. The 17 flight routes are all in Shanghai's Jinshan Industrial Park. The drones will not deliver food directly to customers but will facilitate the transfer of orders between couriers, taking control for 70% of the route. TechNode
Beyond self-service. This week saw a slew of news regarding AI-powered retail. Alibaba opened its first co-partnered "new retail" megastore in Beijing, teaming up with sports retailer Intersport. Tencent and Wanda formed a joint venture to develop "smart retail" in combat against Alibaba's model. Meanwhile JD.com has strengthened its ties with the military by opening an unmanned convenience store on a PLA base. TechNode

Water fight. Chinese war ships were sent to challenge two US Navy vessels that were performing FONOP operations in the South China Sea. China's National Defense Ministry said that the US had "gravely violated Chinese sovereignty". The next day, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis retorted that the US would continue to confront China's militarization of the disputed region. Reuters
Visa review. The United States announced it would be cutting visas for Chinese students studying subjects vital to China's "Made in China 2025" plan. Graduate students in fields like robotics, aviation and high-tech manufacturing may have their visa's capped at just one year in a bid to defend intellectual property. Associated Press
Total wipeout. The Iranian petroleum minister warned France's Total that it had 60 days to secure support from the US or else Iran would transfer its share in the South Pars gas fields to the China National Petroleum Corporation. Iran has increasingly turned to China for support following the reimposition of US sanctions. Iranian president Hassan Rouhani will be hosted at a security summit in China this month. Al Jazeera
The sanction shuffle. In an apparent move to appease the Trump administration, ZTE replaced a number of high level executives this week. Chief technology officer, Xu Huijun, and director of corporate operations, Huang Dabin, have both been reassigned. Meanwhile ZTE's former party secretary, Fan Qingfeng, has been replaced by Tian Dongfeng, the head of an aerospace think-tank. Bloomberg

Will Hutton writes about the mounting problems of Germany and France:
"With all eyes fixed on the American presidential elections, the scale of the looming crisis in France and Germany has gone largely unremarked. But it may so change the political geography of Europe that British arguments for and against the EU will be made redundant. A pervasive sense of decline in both countries, only partially justified but none the less virulent, is destabilising not just the structures of the EU - but the political systems of France and Germany."
It remains to be seen whether a free-enterprise liberalism (what we now call libertarianism), or a new, superficially right-wing version of social democratic statism will rise to power in the wake of the collapse of Schroeder and Chirac.
And Hutton does not discuss the ominous decline in fertility all over Europe (and in Japan), in Europe leading to immigration from North Africa and elsewhere.
As population declines in the wake of de-Christianization, will a more fecund and more faithful Islam rise to turn Europe's current population into
Even if Pat Buchanan said it first, it's worth thinking about.

Today was a pretty great day on most accounts. I woke up and got. shit. done. Things I had been postponing and prolonging, I just did. I told myself in the morning not to waste time; I even wrote it down as my corny little "goal of the day"... and it worked. I'm exhausted, but it was so worth it. I seriously kicked ass. And I'm not normally one to brag, but since this is my little "diary blog", I'll do whatever the Hell I please... and today I'm bragging a little.
Today was honestly the first day I truly enjoyed what I do in a long time. I was so focused on being present, and it made all the difference in the world. The results with patients were great; conversations were incredible and meaningful; I was there for them and for myself. Now, I just have to train myself to make this kind of day a habit so I can fit even more into it. (Productivity is kind of addicting.)
It's funny: A week ago I was so broken, I was numb. I needed to run away from life and fill my time with literally anything that would make me not think about my broken heart. I probably sulked a little for a day or so, and then realized that I needed to just slowly start picking up the pieces and putting them back together. I channeled all of the energy I had into getting as much checked off my to-do list as possible (which started as not much), then repeated it the next day (a little more), and the next (now we're getting somewhere). Within a few days, I was starting to feel like a new person because I was becoming a new person. Well, maybe not a "new" person, but a better version of myself. All of a sudden, my goals became important; I became important to myself. I had been spending so much time and energy on other people, that I had forgotten to care about me.
Today, my friend AJ & I were catching up on life. She was filling me in on her current events: namely, an unfair situation where she and a guy inadvertently developed feelings for one another, except that he's unhappily married and isn't going to leave his wife for fear of losing his kids. They have a real connection, and she's been giving so much of herself to him (not in physical way, because she's not a homewrecking slut, but emotionally as a friend). She's been enabling him to stay unhappy in his marriage because she's been filling this void he has... except that she's not getting any fulfillment out of it. Scratch that- she's got a great friend, but that's not what she wants. She wants love and companionship and a partner, none of which he can provide. So they're taking some time apart from being friends. And I am so fucking proud of her for speaking up and having that uncomfortable conversation! She values their friendship dearly, and I know she's hurting right now. But that girl is one of the strongest fucking people I've ever met, and she is the definition of self-love. She's called me on my bullshit time and time again when I've been unhappy, especially in relationships, and she ALWAYS points out that we need to love and take care of ourselves above anything else, because if we don't, who will?
Today was my turn to tell her the same thing, because she deserves more than she's getting. She's a catch, and giving her energy and time to someone who isn't going to scoop her up is distracting her from finding the guy who will. And then I realized something, as I was giving her advice and filling her in on my situation with S; I realized that, as I was saying, "If he doesn't want to be in this, then whatever. I'm not going to stress out anymore about someone if they're not going to make me some sort of priority", that I ACTUALLY meant it. For once, I wasn't bullshitting.
I think I really did give it my all and left all my cards on the table when I walked out of his apartment last week, and so part of me is too tired to give anymore until I get something back. Another part of me wants him to start making his actions match the words he says; If he wants to be with me, then take 8 seconds out of your day and say something that will make me smile... but I'm not going to beg for it.
I've always told myself after breakups that, "I'll be ok." A lot if it is just me faking it, because I figure if I tell myself something long enough, it'll eventually be true. And I always am. I rebuild myself back to my good old happy self. But this time, something is different. It sounds ridiculous, but this broke me more than the others, and so for whatever reason, when I put the pieces back together, I came out more fixed than I was before; I found a part of myself I didn't even know what missing.
I fucking LOVE the person I've become in a week, and I can't wait to see what she grows into over time. I'm so much stronger than I give myself credit for, and I can FINALLY start to see it; today just fueled the fire. I'm a force to be reckoned with, and I'm too damn busy to sit around wondering if someone cares about me.
One of my favorite quotes is from Oliva Munn (Or at least her picture was next to it in the little meme I saw, so I assume it's from her... I have a girl crush on her, so I like to give her credit.)
"I want you to like me, but I don't care if you don't."
I want to be loved, but not at the cost of begging someone to love me. I'm worth so much more than that, and I ABSOLUTELY deserve to get as much as I give. Does it need to be constant? No. Does it need to be 50/50 all the time? Hell no. That's just unrealistic. But I'm good enough to be made a priority if I'm making someone a priority in my life. And if the only person willing to give me that kind of love right now is me, then so be it.

Johannesburg - The family of Nomawethu Kunene, the West Rand woman who went missing after blowing the whistle on alleged corruption in the Gauteng Department of Social Development, say they have been left in the dark about the investigations into her disappearance.
Neither the police nor the department have updated them regarding the case, and with each day that goes by, it's emotionally draining, the family say.
"How does one find peace and closure when you don't even know where they ended up," said Andisiwe Nyembezi, Kunene's niece.
Kunene, deputy director of the non-governmental (NGO) A Re Ageng Social Services, went missing on February 26, and was last seen by a neighbour in the complex she lived in leaving that morning.
She was believed to have revealed information on an alleged incident of corruption involving a mysterious cash deposit of R10million into the NGO's account.
Of this amount, R5m went missing soon thereafter, raising suspicions of possible collusion.
The incident was claimed to be linked to officials at Gauteng's Social Development Department.
A case of a missing person was opened at the Randfontein police station.
On the evening Kunene was last seen, another neighbour who lived close to her house, heard a bang in her apartment at about 10pm.
In the early hours of the morning, the neighbour heard a car reversing, "but she did not care to snoop around to see what had happened," according to Nyembezi.
Kunene's car and all other valuables were found untouched when Nyembezi went to check the next day.
"Close to three months later, we have no idea what has happened to my aunt. All we keep hearing from the police is that the matter is under investigation, nothing more.
"How does one move on or find closure not knowing what happened to their loved one?" asked Nyembezi. "Since my mother died, aunt Nomawethu was my mother. We were very close.
"It is difficult for me, you can only imagine how all this feels like for her children.
"We are going through a difficult time as a family," she said.
She said the last time she heard from Kunene was when they spoke on the phone on February 27.
When I called her at about 5pm, all her phones were not going through. I panicked and called her colleague to ask if they saw her at work and they said 'she wasn't' at work. When I went to her flat, the security gate at the front door was locked but the door was open. The sliding door, however, was open but she was not there," she said.
"Makazi (aunty) wouldn't just switch off her phone like that and just leave her children. This situation is not normal," Nyembezi said.
Kunene was arrested in December last year over an apparent unrelated case.
"What we do know is that her life was in danger after the arrest.
"That changed a lot of things and she became very cautious about everything," said Nyembedzi.
The family were never given a clear reason for the arrest as the charges kept changing from drugs to corruption to extortion and finally being tied to fraud, Nyembezi said. "We want justice for Nomawethu but most importantly we need to know whether she is alive or dead," she added.
Police spokesperson Kay Makhubele denied they were holding back information about the case.
He said the case was at a sensitive stage, and they would communicate with the family once they had enough information to report.
In a statement last month, the department said it was shocked about the disappearing of Kunene.
"The GDSD is willing to co-operate fully in assisting efforts to find Kunene, but MEC Nandi Mayathula-Khoza has, as per her initiative on the A Re Ageng matter, asked for a full report on the status of investigations, including Kunene's disappearance," it said.

More birds will be appearing in Hamilton parks this summer.
Murals depicting birds native to Ohio will be painted in six Hamilton parks as an extension of a 2015 project that installed brightly-colored art outside the Hamilton Parks Conservancy office in downtown.
"The first phase of this project is to create bird murals on six parks buildings during the summer of 2017," said Jenn Acus-Smith, who is the lead artist and mural designer. "There are possible future opportunities for interactive programming, such as a family scavenger hunt and learning opportunities about Ohio wildlife."
Joyce Park, Millikin Woods, Jim Grimm Park, North End Park, Veterans Park and Crawford Woods will all get bird murals this summer.
MORE: Hamilton murals program to be bigger in 2017
The locations were chosen based on their visibility to visitors and passing motorists, according to Acus-Smith.
The bright colors and bold designs will enhance buildings, welcoming visitors and creating a strong visual branding tool for the Hamilton Parks Conservancy, she said.
Since its launch in January 2015, the nonprofit Hamilton Parks Conservancy has made several improvements and added amenities to more than 1,300 acres of city park property.
Under a management agreement with the city, the conservancy is also responsible for all parks-related activities, including maintenance and programs. A volunteer board oversees the conservancy, which operates on an annual budget of just over $1 million that comes from a variety of sources.
RELATED: Hamilton Parks Conservancy plans more projects
City Manager Joshua Smith said the work done by the Parks Conservancy has been a "game changer" for the city.
"Our parks are cleaner, safer, and better maintained than they have ever been," he said. "The mural that was painted on the Parks Conservancy office downtown is a reflection of the vibrancy of our entire parks system, and I am excited to see additional murals completed in other parks throughout the city."
The effort may also encourage Hamilton residents to visit new parks, rather than just those they are familiar with in their own neighborhoods, Acus-Smith said.
Budding artists will be tapped to create the new murals.
"I plan to work with both local and student artists from area universities, providing training and valuable experience throughout the artistic process," Acus-Smith, who also oversees the city's StreetSpark program, said.
"The creative and interactive qualities of this project will encourage fun, family-friendly experiences and an appreciation for public art in the community," she explained. "Further, providing jobs to student and local artists will help them gain valuable, marketable skills and encourage artists to live, work and play in Hamilton."
Anyone who would like to participate in the mural creation has until April 28 to sign up at Hamilton Parks Conservancy, 106 N. 2nd St.

Hello Mi Fans,
Just a few years ago, phones were all still competing in the megapixel race. Now, it's less about the number of megapixels in a phone camera and more about what you can do with them. OEMs have decided the best way forward is to include more camera sensors, and they're going a little crazy — some phones have as many as four cameras on the back. Multi-camera phones are the norm now, but the modules they use have a traditional design, one optimized for size. This limits the focal length – which, true to its name, is a measure of the distance from the lens to the sensor – meaning that telephoto cams rarely go above 2x zoom (and we're yet to see one go above 3x). A new breed of telephoto cameras was emerged at MWC - the periscope type cameras, which are called that because light is reflected 90°.

Flagship devices usually add a telephoto, monochrome, or wide-angle sensor to complement the main camera. It's tough to fit longer telephoto lenses in phones because everyone wants a compact, slick-looking device. Well, this problem can be solved by turning the telephoto sensor sideways in a technique called folded optics, similar to what Light.co has tried. The camera optics are aligned perpendicular to the back of the phone in a so-called "peep up" periscope that redirects light so the camera points the right direction.
Periscope camera guides light along the width of the phone, allowing for long focal lengths without making the phone too thick. Better still, the prism that reflects the light can be used for optical image stabilization (vital for long focal lengths where even small hand shake is multiplied). The upcoming periscope camera modules we've seen from a couple of makers have 160mm focal length. Sometimes they advertise that as "10x zoom", measuring it against a 16mm ultra-wide angle camera. A different rating will compare it to wide-angle main camera (typically in the mid-20s millimeters) and dub it 5x.

And now a recent patent application approved by the State Intellectual Property Office of China on July 2, reveals the key details of Xiaomi's upcoming telephoto implementation. The patent describes the combination of a main camera with at least one complementary periscope lens which will be placed perpendicular to the main one. Thanks to the process of light refraction, the periscope lens will be able to achieve varying zoom magnifications without increasing the size of the primary camera and in turn the device.

The result is lossless zoom with optical image stabilization. Current offerings from Huawei and Oppo go up to 125mm and 135mm focal length so we can expect Xiaomi's version to be in the same range. Are you excited about periscope zoom cameras?

New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones's heart-pounding thriller of a woman's secrets—and a past that's about to come out of hiding…
As an FBI profiler, it's Lilah Love's job to think like a killer. And she is very good at her job. When a series of murders surface—the victims all stripped naked and shot in the head—Lilah's instincts tell her it's the work of an assassin, not a serial killer. But when the case takes her back to her hometown in the Hamptons and a mysterious but unmistakable connection to her own life, all her assumptions are shaken to the core.
Thrust into a troubled past she's tried to shut the door on, Lilah's back in the town where her father is mayor, her brother is police chief, and she has an intimate history with the local crime lord's son, Kane Mendez. The two share a devastating secret, and only Kane understands Lilah's own darkest impulses. As more corpses surface, so does a series of anonymous notes to Lilah, threatening to expose her. Is the killer someone in her own circle? And is she the next target?

NEW YORK (9/22/14)--Families are stepping in to help first-time homebuyers break into the housing market, as last year 27% of those buying a home for the first time received cash from relatives or friends to help with the down payment, according to National Association of Realtors (NAR) data (Bloomberg.com Sept. 19).
Compared with last year, that's a 24% rise, matching the highest number since 2009.
Without first-time homebuyers, "the recovery's not sustainable," Anika Khan, Wells Fargo Securities senior economist, told Bloomberg, adding that more money in the hands of first-time homebuyers only speeds up the housing recovery.
The biggest barrier for first-time homebuyers is that many continue to grapple with student-loan debt that keeps them from saving enough money for a down payment.
A recent NAR survey found that 54% of first-time homebuyers in 2013 said their home purchases were delayed because their student loans.
First-time buyers made up 29% of previously owned home purchases in July, compared with 40% historically for the month (Bloomberg.com).
But the infusion of cash from parents and families is helping to bridge that gap.
"We're finding more and more parents are gifting money," Deborah Baisden, realtor at Prudential Towne Realty, told Bloomberg. "Because of student debt and because of kids having a tough time finding jobs, it's becoming increasingly difficult for them to be able to buy homes."
"We're turning into a country of renters," she added.


text: The news conference of Mohammed Farnoud , photographerof Saipa Press Photography from France was held in special desk of Foreign Media in Tehran Press Festival at Tehran's Mosalla building.Subject: "Teaching Workshop of economics in Photographism in today's world "He started his lecture by talking about the meaning of photography and the world of photography and said:photos are of two kinds, digital and analogue.If we divide our work into three types of questions, we will then succeed, in not only photography but in any other journalistic duty.At first, we should know how to produce a work, then we should know how to manage it and finally we should know how to exploit it.And thisis the framework which is observed by the famous media such ad Times, New York Times and La Figaro.He went on to say that our definition of photography is limited to the camera but it is better to divide this term to far and between so that we can reach it real meaning, meaning the far events.The really is that the human evolution without citing the history is impossible and humans, by citing history which photo is part of that, can build themselves.Camera is a phenomenon that can portray the distance between birth to death. cameras can record and capture wars, crisis, mayhem, clashes and ....from one side of the world to the other.He added that man, using properties like water, light, glass and... managed to stop an image of the world.He then recounted his first experience by saying: Three years before the revolution, I started photography.For transmitting internal news, we were going from photography place to the office of the magazine and we were going thru producing the pictures, the selection session, printing and...but the question is how were we supposed to transmit international pictures?The answer is a device by the name of Telephoto which using magnetic waves would transmit one or maximum two forms for world news agencies and this one picture was the representative of all that happened and the public thought of the entire glob. He talked about Rudbar earthquake and that he was tasked to go there and inform the world about it. He also talked about the impact of the photo, adding that reports take their most effect from a picture.for example the picture of a mother who digs the grave of his child with a cement block.At the end of the speechMohammad Farnoud said: Today human resources are no longer needed in photo journalism as everything is transmitted via a cellphone. Of course he clarified that we have to be careful not to let this technology captivate our soul and turn us into a automaton.

I love interesting couple shots. I took this picture in Nashville. I don't really have a story to share about this couple, just thought the shot was interesting, along with them together.
With this couple, I felt that she wore the boots... This below quote came to mind. I once heard it in an interview Marilyn Monroe did. It was one of those history shows.
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." ― Marilyn Monroe

Colleen & Bill Engagement - Longwood Gardens
We started off our session under the tree branches at Longwood Gardens. As I was setting up the lights to take the shoot, I hear "this is the most you have kissed me in like forever, like 90 kisses in 90 seconds" cracking everyone up, just the perfect mood setter for a fantastic engagement session with Colleen and Bill. Here are some highlights from our day together

The Fender Electric Instrument Co was established in 1946 immediately after Doc Kaufman left the K&F brand. The first run of amplifiers for this new company consisted of three models: the Princeton, the Model 26 "Deluxe", and the Professional. Their lacquered wood cabinets and combination metal strip and cloth grills made them easy targets for the collector nick name of "Woodies".
This Model 26 Deluxe amplifier bears the speaker manufacturing date of the 22nd week of 1946 and serial number 395. Somehow it made it through life without losing its original canvas cover! We were thrilled to have it for a short time before it moved on to bigger and better things.
The cabinet is very oddly constructed with crude stubby slot head screws and a right angle plate. The chassis has no circuit board but instead is truly point to point wired. There were very few employees at Fender during this time so it's possible this one was wired by Leo himself. That's just hearsay though.
Do you have a vintage Fender guitar or amplifier you'd like to sell? I'd love to check it out. Shoot me some pictures and information here: sell my guitar or amplifier. Thank you!

Let yourself grieve the end of your relationship and recognize the feelings you have. Emotions such as hurt, betrayal, fear, anger and grief are common for couples to experience when going through a divorce. You must accept these feelings before you can understand the reason for them and then start the process of replacing these feeling with positive emotions.
Realize that you may not be functioning at your best. Don't be too hard on yourself or overexert yourself. Take your recovery one step at a time. Prioritize what you must do and get the nurturing you need. Take breaks and do things that help relieve stress, like taking long hot baths, listening to calming music or getting massages.
Talk about how you feel with others. Share your emotions in order to deal with them and move on.
Let your children know that you are there for them and that you are open to listening if they should need to share their feelings.
Get help from outside sources if necessary, such as professional counseling or by joining a support group.
Plan your future instead of dwelling on the past. It is your goal to move on and start fresh, so cultivate new friendships and participate in new activities that interest you.
Maintain your health by getting enough sleep, exercise and good food. Avoid excessive eating, smoking, drinking or drug use as a coping mechanism.
Avoid making big decisions until your emotions are settled and the stresses in your life, brought on by the separation, have subsided.
Maintain a positive attitude and be patient with yourself and others. Avoid shifting blame and do not hold on to negative feelings. Take responsibility for your part in the separation and let what you learn about yourself be a blueprint for self-improvement.

Mali Wedding Beads were first manufactured in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), as a collectible currency for the African tribes, with which European merchants sought to do trade. Mali Wedding Beads replaced their similarly shaped clay counterparts, for use by the Fulani women during wedding rituals. Even today, the tradition of a mother presenting her daughter with a string of these beads on her wedding day still continues.

Thank God They Lived
Today's post will not be a long one. For those of you in the States, today we're celebrating Memorial Day. All across America, there are people- loved ones, patriots, Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts, veterans, grateful Americans- attending tribute parades and pressing American flags into the soil atop the graves of men and women who have given their lives in service to the United States. Today is about honoring the sacrifice they have made.
Service is always something to applauded, especially when that service entails being away from one's family and putting oneself in harm's way. There are times when this service requires the ultimate sacrifice. In fact, such service deserves more than approbation. It deserved the deepest respect and gratitude. That's what today's all about.
While Memorial Day was not instituted as a federal holiday until 1971, the spirit of this day had been embraced by the individual states for nearly a century. The first Memorial Day- called Decoration Day- was established on May 5th, 1866 in Waterloo, NY. At the behest of Northern General John Logan in 1868, the date was changed to the 30th of May and observed on a national scale.
This tradition grew, and by 1890, nearly all the Northern states had made the 30th of May an official holiday. The South also held their own Decoration Days, only each of those states observed it on different dates.
Then World War I came. The War to End All Wars. With the wide scale loss of life and utter devastation witnessed in that war, many of the scars of the past were forgotten, and the nation truly united as a whole to celebrate Decoration Day on the 30th. In 1968, when Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, Decoration Day was set to be observed on the last Monday of the month of May. In 1971, the name was changed from Decoration Day to Memorial Day.
However, whether called Decoration Day or Memorial Day, whether observed on the 30th of May or the 5th of May or any other day, the spirit of this day has remained the same.
It's a day to stop and remember. It's a day to stop and reflect on all the blessings we possess because people have been willing to lay down their lives to protect our intrinsic rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These rights are inalienable, but they are not cheap. More accurately, they are not free. They must be protected. They must be fought for. They cost something, something very dear. They are bought with the blood of patriots, men and women who believed so whole-heartedly in the precepts of these inalienable rights they were willing to die to ensure we continued to possess them.
So today, at 3 P.M. in whatever respective time zone you find yourself, take a minute and join in the national moment of silence. Stop and remember that someone somewhere gave his or her life to make sure you could continue to live in freedom.
And in that moment of nationally observed silence, remember General George S. Patton's words:
