Broken-heart? Cheated by someone? Broked up? Want to share how you feel? Don't worry, here are the best lines to show your inner feelings. These quotes melt their heart, I personally experience how it's feel when someone dumb you, and broked up with you whom you love the most. Here are the best collection of Breakup quotes for you.
It takes just a few seconds to say hello, but it takes forever to say goodbye.
All I did was love you and all you did was hurt me.
If you really love someone, set them free. If they do not come back to you, then it was not meant to be.
Nothing is worse than seeing the two of you together and knowing that I will never have you again.
If someone does not care about losing you, then move on. There are many people out there that would die if it meant losing you.
I could never hate you for not loving me anymore, but I hate myself because I still love you.
It is sad how someone can go from being the reason you were smiling to being the reason that you cry yourself to sleep.
I hope that one day, you will look back at what we had and you regret everything that you did to let it end.
I thought that I was over you, but every time my phone vibrates or rings, I find myself wishing that it was a text from you.
If you start to miss me, remember that I didn't walk away. You let me go.
It can be very hard to move on when you don't know why you have broken up in the first place.
It is the hardest thing not being able to talk to someone that you used to talk to every day.
It is one of the hardest things in life to let go of something that you once thought was real.
I'm barely breathing with a broken heart that is still beating.
I miss how happy I was when I was with you.
I know that there is someone out there for me, but I wish that person could be you.
I am technically single but my heart is taking by someone who is no longer mine.
Real feelings don't just magically go away.
I used to think that asking you out was the hardest and scariest thing that I would ever have to do. You were everything that I thought I wanted, but would you want me back? But now I realize that saying goodbye forever is the hardest thing to do.
There is nothing less lonely than when someone you care about becomes a complete stranger.
The hardest thing I've ever done was walk away when I still loved you.
The worst thing is sleeping so you don't have to think about the heartbreak.
Breaking up is like having the worst nightmare right after having the best dream.
I broke my own heart by loving you.
I wonder how long it will be before I am just a memory.
It is better to be alone than to be with someone who makes you feel all alone.
Never run for a bus, a train, or a man. When one leaves, another will arrive.
I thought you loved me, but I was wrong.
There is no moving on without forgiveness.
Some people think that holding on makes you stronger, but sometimes it is the opposite. Sometimes, letting go can make you stronger.
Don't cry because it is over. Smile because it happened.
A breakup, while sad, can make for a great life lesson.
As you get over this heartbreak, know that there is something better out there waiting for you.
Hearts will never be practical until they are made to be unbreakable.
Close your eyes, clear your heart, and let it go.
I still can't understand, why it didn't work out between me and you. Maybe our love, was really too good to be true.
The problem with our relationship was that you were busy trying to mould it according to the whims and fancies of everyone around us while I was busy enjoying it for what it was. Goodbye.
Things would have never come to the point of walking away, if you had not kept deceiving me with your lies every day. Goodbye.
You are not worth my love if you need reasons to find me worthy of yours. Goodbye.
I still love you, I don't deny it. But you have corroded my trust, bit by bit. Things would have been just fine, if you had stopped your lies. All you needed to do, was to hear my heart's cries. We were a perfect couple, so carefree and happy. It's a pity that the beauty of our love, you just couldn't see. Goodbye.
Relationships are like awesome road trips. Sit back and enjoy the beautiful views instead of complaining about the bumps and the potholes.
You could have been honest instead of pretending that you loved me. By walking away, I am setting your heart free. It will push a dagger right through my heart, but the pain will be worth it because you never loved me from the very start.
Nothing can come close to the intensity with which I loved you, except maybe the intensity with which you took me for granted.
It's not that I don't care about your feelings, but things haven't remained the same. For the way we have drifted apart, we both are to blame. How much longer all this can go on, I have my doubts. Breaking up and going our separate ways, is the only way out.
A breakup is not something I had on my mind but I still want it – just like how love was not on yours but you still pretended to.
Our relationship was always about give and take… until you stopped giving but never stopped taking. Goodbye.
You insulted my commitment with betrayal and marred my love with lies. You were indifferent to my pleas and apathetic to my heart's cries. Since you don't have a spine, let me say this to you – there is no way out now, breaking up is all that is left to do.
I am breaking up with you… maybe I'll regret this, maybe I won't. But it doesn't matter, because I know you won't.
Every moment we have spent together will be a memory that I will hold close to my heart. But now is the time to move on and make a new start. We are breaking up but I don't regret being girlfriend and boyfriend. We have always understood each other and I hope our friendship never ends.
I want to break up with you. It's not that I have begun to hate you but it's because my heart has stopped loving you.
My love may be unconditional but there was an unspoken condition when I gave you my heart – it's yours only as long as you love it. Goodbye.
Breaking up will hurt me more than it will hurt you – just like how being together gave me more joy than it did to you.
Breaking up with you is not my choice but I don't have any other option – just like how loving me was a choice but you did it as if you had no other option.
I never thought that my feelings for you would change but then again, I never thought that you would change either. Goodbye.
I am the same girl who gave you my heart to love it. Instead you chose to corrode it with malice, bit by bit. Goodbye.
एक खूबसूरत सा रिश्ता यूँ खतम हो गया..हम दोस्ती निभाते रहे…..और उसे इश्क हो गया..
गया था मै तुझसे दुर बहुत कुछ पाने के लिए ……….पर सिवाए तेरी यादो के कुछ हासिल ना हुआ !!!!
तेरी बेरुखी ने छीन ली है शरारतें मेरी..और लोग समझते हैं कि मैं सुधर गया हूँ..!!!
छोड़ दे तू मुझे गिला भी नहीं, मुझमे अब और कुछ बचा भी नहीं, उसने बस यूँ कहा … चले जाओ जल्दबाज़ी में, कि मैं रुका भी नहीं..

Q: Having the same attribute on multiple places (NOT copy paste methodd) I need to have the same attribute on properties of different classes, e.g. :
[Display( Name = "Last Name" )]

is there a way not to copy paste the same line on different classes/interfaces? instead have a construct that refers to that line and copy paste the reference everywhere instead?

A: You probably will find AOP helpfull. Search for best framework yourself.

A: you could create a script in something simple like ruby or powershell to add in that line in the same place on every page, or to add it after a regex match. A simpler method would be to create a parent class and have every class you want to implement this attribute extend the parent class.
If you end up needing to make the same change in so many places that copy and pasting is too much work, then you should look at your project and try to decide if a relationship exists there or if there truly are that many unrelated fields that end up having the same value

A: I ended up using a constant instead:
[Display( Name = Constants.LastName )]

where Constants.LastName = "Last Name" ); is a defined string constant.

North Bay retailers seek second-generation real estate to survive, thrive
The pending expansion of the Marin County Puerto Rican restaurant Sol Food into an already outfitted space left vacant by the Sauced BBQ & Spirits spot in the Theatre Square live-shop complex in Petaluma could be a sign of what's to come for empty retail real estate in the months to come.
Retail and office vacancies are less in the North Bay than in San Francisco, and when the spaces become available, they may be repurposed by entrepreneurs looking for inexpensive plug-and-play expansion sites, according to longtime experts in local real estate markets.
Deborah Perry of Colliers International has seen interest from sellers of vehicles.
"Some of these dealerships I can see opening in big-box stores," she said. "I think that could happen in Santa Rosa for electric cars."
While some scouting the Bay Area for locations are Vietnam startup VinFast and Sweden's Volvo Cars, she said, the retail real estate in general is looking to be slow through 2021.
Matt Holmes, president of Retail West Inc., which mostly represents tenants but also lists properties, develops real estate and runs shops, calls the current retail environment "small ball wins."
"The general retail environment belongs to the entrepreneur, it belongs to the creative boutique," Holmes said. "It's no longer chain-dominated. The chains are failing faster than you can count. Innovation starts at the street level. Innovative retailers curry more favor than a big chain, because the big chains, although they may sign leases with great balance sheets and financials, fall down hard. It's like a redwood tree falling in the forest; it takes down everything with it. Even though you think you've got security, you really don't."
He said smaller merchants are eager to capitalize on the rise of "push cart urbanism" — plugging small-scale concepts into small spaces or farmer's markets initially. These innovators are seeing spaces open up and a flood of newly unemployed retail workers because of the pandemic and failed stores.
And more shuttered restaurants because of the coronavirus pandemic restrictions will bring an abundance of second-generation space to the market, attracting the remaining active players more so than newly built space, Holmes predicts. That's because it can add another $200–$300 a square foot for the restaurant-specific features such as Americans With Disabilities Act requirements for restrooms, ventilation and other systems.
But small local retailers aren't the only ones looking for vacant existing space for their next move, according to Annie Prupas of CBRE.
"Most activity I'm seeing in the North Bay on new deals are strategic relocations, because national retailers are concerned about spending capital," she said.
Prupas has been working with one unnamed tenant on a Marin County relocation from two levels of a mall to one for a prototype of the chain's new direction.
"If it is a high-performing store and with increased spaces coming on the market with bankruptcies or closings because of COVID, these retailers are willing to justify the (capital expenditure) because they are well-performing stores. Easier paths to getting approved by real estate committees are relocations."
But the biggest challenge in retail real estate for most of this year is the uncertainty from the pandemic shutdowns of "nonessential" retail activity and then the wildfires, Prupas said. Smaller retail centers with tenants not deemed "essential" such as grocery have been seeing spaces come back on the market as independent retailers shut down and some of them move out of the Bay Area, she said.
"All the economics of a deal are based on sales expectations," Prupas said. "The reason why deals are not done yet is because they are just now getting a few months of sales to know what sales may be going to be. But projecting for the next year or two until vaccines are fully available makes those projections more difficult."
Larger spaces in Santa Rosa's eponymous southern retail corridor left vacant by defunct or contracting chains are in active negotiations for new tenants, according to Tom Laugero, a partner of Keegan & Coppin Co. Inc./Oncor International.
Among them are nearly 32,000-square-foot former Office Depot store in the Costco Wholesale-anchored Santa Rosa Marketplace Shopping Center, a 10,500-square-foot former Pier 1 Imports store just to the south and a long shuttered 38,000-square-foot Toys R Us toy store nearby.
"Good real estate is good real estate, even in bad times," said Laugero, who has been working in Sonoma County retail estate for 35 years.
As the Business Journal reported, a Planet Fitness franchisee purchased that former toy store and plans to open a club there late next year. Prupas was a listing agent in that deal.

Next gen begins here.
I've pre-ordered a PlayStation 5. Yeah, as someone who primarily plays on Xbox, that kind of surprises me too, but stay with me here. I have every intention of getting an Xbox Series X at some stage, but my existing Xbox One X isn't that old and with nothing that essential coming to the Series X at launch (that isn't also coming to Xbox One) I did feel there was little reason to upgrade just yet. Over on the PlayStation, Sony seem to have delivered a bit more next-gen excitement this time and games like Spider-Man Miles Moralis , Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart and Demon's Souls look great and show off what is possible with these machines (ray tracing, super-fast loading) … and when put simply, my PS4 is getting rather old and sounds like a jet engine when in use. I am looking forward to playing PS4 titles like The Last of Us Part II on it with faster loading and more stable frame rates.
I'm under no illusion that next-gen isn't going to entirely knock my socks off this side off Christmas or well into next year but I wanted an upgrade to my PS4 and also enjoy keeping up with technology developments. Entering a new generation is always exciting and boarding that ship is something I love doing. Also technology gimmicks like the haptic feedback on the new PS5 'dual-sense' controller will be fun to explore, even if in the long/run it's a feature that will get used less and less (I'm guessing).
There's still some element of the unknown here, how games will perform and what features they'll have (and not have), and how third party games will compare between PlayStation and Xbox. Xbox has a lot of promise still, what with all the new studios they've acquired and the consumer-friendly services they're offering. I just don't feel we've really seen much games-wise to truly excite (Halo Infinite's delay went along with aiding my decision to hold off on Microsoft's console right now). Either way us gamers have much to look forward to in the coming years and the rivalry between the big console names will deliver some great games as a result I'm sure. For now though PlayStation 5 will be my starting point.
Roll on November 19th.

For the first time in a few generations, I'm not jumping on board on Day One. I know that the Covid situation has hurt Sony and Microsoft's plans, but this is the strangest next-gen I've ever known. Neither platform has managed to really distinguish next-gen from current-gen and neither have a 'killer app' game. The days of the Nintendo 64 and Mario 64, or the original Playstation with Wipeout and Ridge Racer, or indeed the original Xbox and Halo, are distant memories. I really think they would have been better hanging fire on launching the new consoles until next Spring, if only to allow developers enough time to really polish the new games.
When I do jump into next-gen I'll be sticking with Microsoft, I'm in the Gamepass ecosystem and absolutely love it. I bought only one game on disc this year -Doom Eternal- and most everything else I've played was on Gamepass. But I think I'm still about a year or more away from buying a Series X. My Xbox One X is only two years old and is perfectly fine, and will play all the new games hitting Gamepass just like Series X will, for 'free' on my console with the only distinguishing feature being loading times and a few visual bells and whistles. The reasons to jump gen when my console is only two years old and perfectly fine just aren't there like they used to be with past generations (i.e. the only way to play a new Halo etc). I think Microsoft are to be congratulated for how they are approaching this but it does seem so strange.
I suppose going over from Xbox to Sony justifies you getting into next gen now because it negates those arguments when sticking with Xbox, as at least you'll get games you couldn't otherwise. I'm sure you'll love it and I look forward to your posts about it.. I'll be interested to see any photos you can take of how big the console is and how it fits in your set-up, it looks absolutely huge from what I've seen but I'm sure thats necessary to fit all that horsepower under the hood.

Yes, I will be reporting back on my first impressions of PS5. Hmm, your comments given me plenty of enthusiasm for future posts! I totally get your reasons to hold back, it's the exact same reason I'm not jumping on Series X just yet (my Xbox One X is about same age as yours). Thanks for your comment!!


Without a doubt this year's Soul Train Awards was the illest trip, hosted by the dopest chick- Erykah Badu. Im so glad I got to watch her in action after working the red carpet. I can guran-damn-tee you this, Eryka Badu was THE BEST host making the show the best ever. From the beginning with that dope hover board entrance to the Iggy Azaela shade, the Soul Cypher, it was everything we love about Fat Belly Bella. Without a doubt Erykah kept us throughly entertained with her baduizm. Heck "guran-damn-tee" is officially a part of my vocabulary.
Before the Soul Train Awards we hit the streets of Harlem to reflect on other Erykah's baduizms we've picked up throughout the years.- You know those times she made you think, Say What now? Take a look and tell me what your interpretations of these Baduizms in the comments below.

17 years ago, this is how it started…
14/09/2018 17/09/2018 Loans Insider
The first decade 1998 – 2007
In the wilderness – Feb 1998
"I really think you should meet this company", said the recruiter, a girl by the name of Liz, barely older than myself. "The boss is very charismatic, he's seen your CV and he wants to see you ASAP!"
It did sound great: a job in finance sales. Loans or something. Probably just the kind of thing I was looking for (I had no idea what I was looking for). I had a 2:2 degree in Finance and Accounting and I thought it best to follow this path. Of course I would go – I didn't need convincing. I would leave no stone unturned in my quest to find a decent career path.
Currently though, I was washing dishes in the kitchens of Cardiff Castle while a mid-week wedding breakfast was going on, two floors above. I'd taken the job 3 weeks beforehand as a stop gap, having walked out of my first 'proper job' working as a tied agent at Lincoln, a life insurance company on St Mary St. The place had been stale, and my colleagues were a down beat bunch. I'd taken the job after struggling a bit to find my way after university. After 6 months I couldn't stand the crusty politics and tediousness of the place, so one day so I simply got up from my desk, thanked the boss for the opportunity, and walked out of the door. I walked into the first recruitment agency that would give me immediate work (which happened to be around the corner in Castle Street) and promptly over to my new temp job in Cardiff Castle to keep money coming in. The career drop was temporary, and it was no issue for me. I'd worked a hundred manual labour jobs since the age of 11. I was used to hard work, getting my hands dirty, meeting new people and generating my own funds. This was just another job until I found my feet.
First National Bank – March 1998
A day or so later, I put on my best (only) suit and headed into the offices of First National Bank (FNB) on Newport Road in Cardiff. I was greeted by a young, pretty girl and peering into the office I could see that the place was full of young ladies who were working hard and clearly enjoying what they did. I could hardly believe it, I already had very good feelings about the place.
I was taken into the manager's office for my interview. The chap went by the name of Malcolm Rees who was very pleased with himself having just won the bank's highest accolade, Branch of the Year 1998. Malcolm was a strong character, and we got on well from the word go (these days Malcolm is a broker like us and is one of Y3S's top 10 accounts). He was obviously strict and looked like he took no messing about. He described the job, while I nodded enthusiastically and agreed with everything he said. The fact that I hadn't a clue what he was talking about was beside the point. I loved to learn and was happy to be his whipping boy. I got the job, and within a few weeks I was heading into the office for my first day, where Malcolm emptied his in-tray onto my desk and nipped off to play golf. I was just happy to be there.
The job turned out to be interesting: lending money to people secured by way of a second charge over their property… whatever that meant. A week after arriving, everyone in our branch headed to London spend the evening with the bank's directors to celebrate winning Branch of the Year. We stayed in a big hotel near London Bridge, travelled by stretch limousine, quaffed champagne, ate at Mezzo's in Soho and went clubbing in Mayfair. I was really starting to love this company.
A couple of weeks later I headed off on the company induction program at Ettington Park in Stratford-upon-Avon for two weeks, and I was determined to do well. I put my heart and soul into it and came out with the highest marks, which bought me serious initial brownie points throughout the bank and our branch. I couldn't have been prouder.
As a New Business Representative, my job was to visit local IFAs and mortgage brokers, get friendly with them and then coax them to give me their turned down mortgage applications, reigniting them into secured loans. When I got my first application through the fax from a local mortgage broker, the girls in the office helped me put the paperwork together and then I put it into the post tray. Malcolm called me to his office to say well done and to take the paperwork from the post tray, call up the client and tell them I was coming to hand deliver the documents and answer any questions they had. I hadn't planned on being a postman, but I got on with it straightaway. I drove to the client's house 20 miles away. They were delighted to have someone around to help them sign and collect the right statements and proofs. The face-to-face contact meant I got to know the customer and their situation well, and as a result I got the case completed quickly, much to the client's delight. Turns out Malcolm knew what he was talking about and he always had tips on how to make things happen quicker.
At month end when the commission cheques for my introducers rolled off the printers, Malcolm told me to deliver them personally. "The best time to ask for more business is when you give them a cheque," came his advice. Turns out he was right again.
Keeping the format just so, the business rolled in and I couldn't believe my luck in landing this job. I was 23 years old, and I had a company VW Golf and a fuel card (which meant I could go visiting my old college buddies around the country at weekends) and I was earning the grand sum of £14,000 a year plus a bonus, the details of which I hadn't yet bothered to work out. I'd also been given a BT card to make free calls from call boxes. Screw that I thought and just used my mobile at my own expense (calls were 50p a minute back then). Each month, I'd drive around South Wales signing up clients and forging deep bonds with my introducers, handing over chunky commission cheques with a big cheesy smile on my face, despite me having done all the work. The broker who was getting the cheque had barely lifted a bloody finger!
The new boy – Sept 1998
About 6 months later, another role had come up and the job had been given to a new graduate by the name of Barney Drake, who had also paid a visit to Liz the recruitment lady. Barney Drake! We all laughed, what kind of name was that?! He wouldn't get far! Barney turned up early and found me in the staff kitchen where we instantly hit it off and discussed our lives to date over a cup of tea. He was clearly very different to me. Privately educated in Hampshire and brought up in the beautiful tax haven of Guernsey, his upbringing couldn't have been more different to mine; I grew up in a 3-bed semi in Port Talbot, a smelly steelworker town in the armpit of South Wales and then dragged through the state education system from shitty school to shitty school as my wonderful parents moved east looking for better prospects for their growing family. While Barney had been taught to be confident, polite and forthcoming from an early age, I'd had to learn to look after myself and be wary of glue-sniffers and petty criminals, especially when I moved to Cardiff and ended up firstly in Hywel Dda Junior School and then Glan Ely High School, the roughest school in Wales.
Despite our very different histories, we had ended in the same place and we shared one goal: to be the best and stand out among our peers. I was no intellectual, and neither was Barney, but with Malcolm to guide us we were a salesforce to be reckoned with, and many proud moments of accolade were had as we featured constantly in the top spots on the bank's quarterly newsletters. Barney was much quicker off the mark than I had been; he had quickly devised a spreadsheet to work out what exactly what product points were needed to achieve maximum quarterly bonus with the least effort, which he promptly did. It was impressive, and Drake had made his mark. I had been too laissez-faire with pleasing others and had missed out massively, achieving 25% of the possible bonus. Even worse, Malcolm was now swaying to Barney as his new protege. Zikes! That Friday night as the team hit the town, Barney reminded me constantly about his bonus as he enthusiastically bought champagne for the ladies who processed our business.
"Now then, Scum," (Barney's nickname for me earned from growing up in Port Talbot), "I can't help noticing that I appear to be considerably, connnn-siderably richer than yawwwwww!" he shouted in a strong Brummie accent mimicking Stanley, the infamous Harry Enfield character of the era. I was laughing with him, but internally I was crushed, and I vowed at that moment it would never happen to me again.
Moving on – Aug 2000
One day, after a couple of years of this carry on, I was sitting in the offices of a very successful broker introducers in Cardiff, who asked me how I felt about my job and said to me that I should consider stepping through the looking glass and come to work for him as a broker. I liked the idea and the timing was right; it was clear that getting promoted in First National was going to be difficult, and so I took the decision to promote myself by taking the job. I negotiated a much better remuneration package and a brand-new BMW 3-series coupe. Basically, a wet dream. The bank had been good to me; the constant training courses had been second to none. I had lapped it up, ingesting everything they had to offer. They'd invested a huge amount of time and money into my development and I had learned a lot, and delivered for them, but it was time to move on. I handed in my notice and Malcolm tried to convince me of the solidity of the bank lifestyle, but he knew that FNB were on borrowed time with me. I was climbing up the corporate pole and that was that.
Impressed by Barney's analytical skills and concerned that he would wobble, First National promoted Barney to 'Technical Consultant'. Barney had created a very useful program called Planfitter, a simple but effective piece of software to help brokers identify if their client would 'fit' one of the bank's products. The bank introduced Barney to a software house, had it sharpened up and burned onto CD-ROM's which was then sent out to the hundreds of credit brokers on their books. Barney was impressing the pants of all and sundry in the bank's management and his peers didn't like the attention he was getting. Unfortunately for FNB, the software house had identified with Barney's potential and nicked him for themselves! With an offer he couldn't refuse, Barney promptly left the bank and headed to London to report for his new role.
Return of the double act – March 2001
It wasn't long before I started to get frustrated in my new role. I was getting constant questions about why I needed a cheque for a valuation, was this client's application going to complete if we paid for mortgage references or would it be a waste of money? My boss (who was and still is a lovely chap) would tut-tut and shake his head as he reluctantly signed some cheques and held onto others. It was becoming more nauseating than my first job back in the life insurance company. It's a new department for f***'s sake, it needs investment!
One afternoon a few months later, during a period when I was beginning to lose my normally plentiful motivation, I got a call from Barney who was also fed-up with his new job, spending the weeks in London and coming home to his girlfriend in Wales at weekends. The grind was not for him, but with a new home and mortgage he needed a job before he could jump ship. Instantly I called my boss and convinced him that Barney would be a great hire. We'd work together and do what we did before. To be honest I relished the challenge of working with someone who could keep me motivated. I must have been convincing because the boss agreed to it. A few weeks later, the old double act was back on the road.
Our joint activity was exhilarating, and we wrote more and more business by delivering the best possible customer service. Competitors were either non-existent or too slow. No remorse for any competitor was shown; if you were up against us, you were going to lose the client. We were faster, stronger, nimbler. The boss had stopped tutting and could see that his investment was starting to deliver result. Clients were delighted and this pleased their mortgage brokers who returned to us time and time again with more business. All was well again, and we enjoyed watching the fledgling business take shape through our hard work.
Then the telephone of fate rang again. It was our old boss from FNB, Malcolm Rees. He'd been approached by an angel investor who was looking for experienced people who wanted to set up a brokerage but needed the capital to do so. He had been to check out the offer, but the parties hadn't clicked. We hadn't really considered our own thing at that point, and we were doing well where we were. Barney had just bought a lovely apartment in Cardiff Bay and I, a smart townhouse in Penarth Marina on the opposite side of the water. We both had chunky new mortgages and leaving our jobs for a start-up shouldn't have been that appealing. It didn't stop us though and secretly off we went to London to talk about the prospects of this new brokerage. The offer was exciting and having the opportunity to throw off the shackles off and drive our own organisation forward with our lofty values was just too tempting. It was there for the taking. On the way home from London we pondered the advantages of the offer and despite our big mortgages and growing bills, we decided that we should go for it. There was never any discussion of failure, no feelings of not being able to succeed. It just wasn't in our mindset. We had absolutely no idea of the wild ride were about to go on.
Yes Loans & Mortgages – Sept 2001
We applied for a consumer credit license, found some tiny premises and struck a deal (we didn't know if it was good or bad, but it felt reasonable), bought some budget desks and chairs, an old BT Norstar telephone system and some PC's and we opened a bank account. The angel investor had set up the company and dropped in some funds. We were now directors and shareholders of a limited company, and we were almost ready to trade. We'd done it all on the QT while still doing our jobs. It wasn't easy, but we had to keep it under wraps in case the boss tried to drive a wedge in our plans. In the background we prepared everything for our departure, even had the cars valeted at our own expense, cleaned the office and left every file in a state where it could be picked up and worked by the next person. We called the boss up to our top floor office and told him we were going to set up on our own. We thanked him; he was gutted but didn't seem annoyed, more ego-damaged perhaps. No amount of convincing would have stopped us from pursuing the dream, and shortly after, we were onto our next mission.
We'd put most of the start-up capital into advertising in the red top papers, a well-trodden method of generating business at the time, but all the same it was new to us, as we were only familiar with procuring our enquiries through mortgage brokers and financial advisers. Still, we'd give it a bash. A series of adverts were planned for The Sun, the Daily Star, and the Daily Mirror at a cost of £30,000. All we had to do was sit back and wait for the phone to ring with fresh new clients and use our skills to find them the right loan at the best possible price. Easy.
As it turns out it wasn't; fate had showed its ugly face in the most horrible way possible – our timing could not have been worse: I was in the office on 11 September, a couple of days before we were due to start trading, in harmony with the launch of the adverts in the nationals on 14 September. I was cleaning the grotty window sills and hoovering the carpets ready for Barney to arrive with a van full of computers, screens, desks, chairs and other office paraphernalia. My mobile rang and my then girlfriend informed me that something weird had happened – a plane had flown into one of the World Trade Centre buildings in New York. While we were on the line, the second plane hit the other tower and it was clear the world was about to about to become a different place.
Our loan adverts went live on the 14 September as planned but the phones did not ring off the hook. In the weeks to come, you'll remember the papers were full of incredibly sad stories, pictures, and scenarios about the future. Our very expensive adverts were seen by nobody. As grotesque as the whole period was, it nearly brought our brief foray into business to a very sticky and abrupt end.
Back to B2B – Nov 2001
With the telephones gathering dust, we decided to pick up where we had left off with our previous broker introducers. It didn't feel right to ask our angel investor for more capital to spend on the red tops again. We did what we'd always done – hit the phones! Broker relationships were rekindled, and visits were made. We had around 30 introducers giving us business, but we could easily handle more, so we called up Yellow Pages and bought all the IFA and mortgage broker data records for the whole of South Wales and the West Country. 2,000 or so records kept us busy for a long time. We bought a whiteboard and listed all our potential business for that month. We spent the mornings calling potential introducers looking for those who had had recent failed remortgage applications, explaining to brokers how we could help their clients get the funds they wanted, and show the broker a new revenue stream. In the afternoons and evenings, we sped off in our cars to hand deliver finance documents to our clients in person and answer their questions, easing their concerns and worries and cementing relationships.
In the first year we helped more clients achieve their financial goals than we had ever done in any previous year. The following year we employed a colleague from FNB to head up our sales department and over the coming years we built our team person by person training everyone to be excellent brokers with the very best customer service skills. Nothing was too much trouble for our introducers and their clients.
Exponential growth – 2004
Put simply the mortgage application can be very stressful for clients. When a mortgage is declined due to a credit blip or an LTV restriction, or the mortgage lender doesn't wish to lend any more, its even more stressful, especially when the client is relying on those funds arriving. This is where specialist brokers like us come in. We make a difficult situation much simpler, and help clients get funds that they didn't think they could access. And we work a lot faster than the mainstream market. Word of our good work started to spread far and wide. We enlisted the help of our friends Tom Lloyd and Mike Jordan at Bluegg Creative to come up with high quality marketing campaigns that made us different. The industry at that time was not known for its marketing skills, so it didn't take a lot to stand out from the crowd, which we fully intended to do. Bluegg used the open brief that we gave them to really experiment. We became known for our instantly recognisable full-page adverts which we took out in the main industry publications which we used to broadcast our service standards. If people hadn't seen the magazine ads, then they would have had a telephone call from our team or a broker pack posted through their letterbox filled with pens, post it notes, desk pads, mousepads and coasters plastered in our telephone numbers. We started playing about with email marketing before pretty much anyone – all very new at the time. If you were a mortgage broker, it was difficult to avoid us.
We bought lists of IFA and mortgage broker data for the whole country and got our team of young enthusiastic people to call everyone in the country to tell them about our service offering. The phones were crazy every day with thousands of incoming and outgoing calls. The noise in the office was incredible and sometimes I wondered how on earth anyone could hear themselves think; I still do! As we were now operating nationwide, the team that processed the business no longer had the time to go out and deliver and collect finance documents from the clients, so we recruited drivers, hired cars, bought phones and gave them a company credit card each. Clients do not want to hand their passports and other personal documents over, so we equipped the drivers with mobile photocopiers so that they didn't have to. The drivers became as slick as the rest of the team; they met clients at airports, in their offices, on the factory floor, on holiday at Bognor Regis and wherever they were needed. It was all about speed of service and removing the painful bits from the loan application. The drivers were travelling 5,000 miles a month each, way over our agreed limit – the hire car company was forever on the phone expressing their annoyance.
We'd built a format that worked; from recruiting and training new brokers (Cardiff has a large call centre community, and the best people are always looking for the next move and a career), mentoring them through a buddy system, giving them opportunities to rise through the business organically, we had created a hierarchy that could be climbed by those who were willing to apply copious amounts of elbow grease and demonstrate world class customer service. Despite being limited by slow internet and clunky systems of the era, our team had an amazing bond and the operation was as slick as shit through a goose. The early years were the ones where we discovered some of today's most knowledgeable industry people, Dilan Evans, Mike Gallagher, Joe Dillon, Monika Lowe, Phil Howard, Neil Mace, Tony Webb, Nathan Raffour, Jamie Hesketh, Andrew Gage, Ben Gillespie, Rhys Thomas – all of whom remain with the business today although they now form the operational team of the whole SMG group.
Our small offices became bigger offices, which became even bigger offices. 5 staff became 10 staff which became 20… 40… then 80. Our customer service levels were high and there was no let-up in demand for our high-end service. With over 30,000 prospective introducers on our database, with around 250 clients each, some of whom would need our services, the potential was unlimited. We had established strong relationships with our lender partners, SPPL, First Plus, Money Partners, Prestige Finance and Blemain Finance among others. The lenders that funded our business always wanted more. The brokers who gave us the business knew we could be relied upon to get the job done and to pay their commissions straightaway. We were one of a couple of firms that were doing it better than anyone else. We just kept our heads down and reached for the sky day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year and we barely looked up. We learned that dogged persistence combined with awesome customer and broker service was the key to success.
In 2005, the finances were becoming a real headache. The staff numbers were climbing. We had salespeople, underwriters, managers, team leaders, couriers, administrators, HR and recruitment people, a fleet of cars and beautiful new offices. We had just moved into Neptune Court – our brand-new state of the art HQ. Barney and I moved upstairs into a purpose-built corner office. Today, we sit downstairs with our teams at any desk that is free, but it was fitting for the time; it was well-appointed with thick wallpapers and leather chairs. Opposite was a large boardroom with a beautiful walnut table and soft leather seating for 12.
The team downstairs was generating hundreds of loan completions each month and despite having external accountants to do the heavy work, I was struggling to reconcile it all up front. We were trying to build systems just to cope with the growth but we always seemed to be slightly behind what we needed. Computer networks had to be built and rebuilt, bandwidth was constantly being upgraded, and newer, faster lines always seemed to be needed. We bought bigger fax machines, faster photocopiers, better computers, more desks, more RAM, dual screens, additional partitioning to section out more training rooms. It reminded me of the old cartoons where the new sections of the bridge over the canyon are being thrown into place at full speed as the speeding steam train crosses it!
Ordering the chaos – March 2005
One day I received a call from Ben Yeadon, one of my best friends from my college days who I met up with regularly. Ben was bored of his job working as an accountant at a glass fabricator in Leeds where he'd lived all his life. Now he was looking for a new direction. While I'd struggled to get a low 2:2, he'd breezed through university with a first class degree in Accounting and Finance, coming first out of 60 people on our course. He'd also starting doing his masters course. He knew his stuff and I trusted him implicitly. A package was negotiated and a month later he moved to Cardiff and took up his new role as Financial Controller of Yes Loans & Mortgages Ltd., (Ben later became Finance Director and is now Chief Financial Officer of the group). Ben took a corner office and his systems were put in place; he organised a physical and virtual filing structure and set about bringing order to the chaos. Within 6 months he'd had the serviced plants removed from the office, the hangers on had been sent on their way, credit card limits were reduced, suppliers who had been milking us for years were bid farewell and generally things that we either had no idea about or were too busy to even care about were reigned in. Under Benson's watch, invisible frugality would be the order of the day. At this point there were over 100 staff in the offices. Newer, bigger servers fit for 250 staff and the latest VoIP telephone systems replaced our older systems. The business was strong, stable and financially resilient. We were ready for the future.
What's a liquidity crisis? – August 2007
If the early years were crazy, the time from 2005 – 2007 was on another level. We were in a period of hypergrowth. We invested in two other companies and grew them into strong brokerages; now there was one large brokerage and two smaller ones doing pretty much the same thing, all growing with insatiable demand for our services as mortgage brokers became more and more switched on to specialist finance solutions. On the advice of our lawyers, we changed our name from Yes Loans & Mortgages as there was another firm with a very similar name just 20 miles away and it was causing confusion. Our three companies together became The Y3S Group.
At this point I took some time out to spend with my wife for our first wedding anniversary. Getting away wasn't easy but we'd had a torrid year following major complications during the birth of our first child which ended up in severe brain trauma through clinical negligence. We needed to get away for some R&R. We flew to the South of France and stayed at small hotels and guest houses in St Tropez and Aix en Provence, finishing off with a couple of days in Monte Carlo, trying to heal some of the damage in our souls. We were staying at the Hotel de Paris in Casino Square, with a balcony looking down over the gigantic yachts in Port Hercules. Munching on a warm croissant, I poured fresh coffee into two china cups. My wife was in her bath robe sipping on a glass of orange juice and reading the morning paper in the sunshine.
"There's a chap here saying that there's a liquidity crisis looming," she said. "Any idea what that means?"
"No idea," I replied. "It's probably nothing. Come on, let's get dressed and go see the Prince's Palace.

WHY SITE VISITS SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED


This fabulous boy is a littermate to our gorgeous Apollo and Panda. Chester's owners are new to the dog performance world and as they are local we decided to introduce them to some of the sports that AKC has to offer. Well from the get go Chester loved diving off the pier at their lakeside cottage so Dock diving was a natural choice for them to try.
Well at their very first weekend out they earned the Dock Diving Novice title and I do believe they are now hooked! They have also tried lure coursing and are thinking about giving barn hunt a try as well. Whatever game they decide to do I am beyond happy that yet another person has found this fantastic world of competing and doing fun stuff with your dog. Getting titles is not just about ribbons, placements and competing. Its about building that bond of a working relationship with your dog and giving your dog a purpose. Its also about having fun with the entire family.
I look forward to seeing Chester and his family participating in more sports and I hope they continue to enjoy the performance world as much as my family has.

NASA Covered Up Apollo 11 UFO Encounter By Deleting Photos
Listen to "E39 7-23-19 NASA Covered Up Apollo 11 UFO Encounter By Deleting Photos" on Spreaker.
by Inigo Monzon July 11, 2019 (ibtimes.com)
• NASA and the government didn't want the public to know the truth about what the Apollo 11 astronauts encountered when they landed on the Moon in July of 1969.
• Former U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major Bob Dean, who served for NATO, says that NASA erased up to 40 rolls of film from the mission, including "the flight to the Moon, and flight around the Moon, the landings on the Moon, the walking guys here and there."
• Founder of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, Steven Greer, confirmed that there exists video footage of the Apollo 11 astronauts' UFO sightings. The footage, however, has never been released to the public. Greer relates how friends and relatives of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin told Greer that the astronauts saw UFOs on the Moon during their mission.
• On July 8th in an official statement (see here), NASA admitted some of the tapes from the Apollo 11 mission are currently missing and may have been erased. The agency stated on its website that "NASA searched for but could not locate some of the original Apollo 11 data tapes – 'original' in the sense that they directly recorded data transmitted from the Moon."
• "An intensive search of archives and records concluded that the most likely scenario was that the program managers determined there was no longer a need to keep the tapes – since all the video and data were recorded elsewhere – and they were erased and reused," NASA added. The space agency did not elaborate on the contents or theories surrounding the missing video footage.
Several conspiracy theorists including a U.S. Army officer who served for NATO have openly blamed NASA for covering up the UFOs encountered by astronauts from the Apollo 11 Moon mission. According to them, the space agency allegedly destroyed evidence of the encounter by deleting tapes from the event.
Bob Dean, a former U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major, noted that NASA erased up to 40 rolls of film from the mission. He said this was the agency way of ensuring that the public will never learn about what truly happened during the first human mission to the Moon.
Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin
"My government, NASA, which many of us in the United States say stands for 'Never A Straight Answer', proceeded to erase 40 rolls of film of the Apollo Program – the flight to the Moon, and flight around the Moon, the landings on the Moon, the walking guys here and there," Dean said, according to Express.
Dean's accusations against NASA were strengthened by the revelation of Steven Greer, the founder of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence. In a video posted on YouTube, Greer said that the friends and relatives of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin told him that the astronauts saw UFOs on the Moon during their mission.
Greer added that military officials confirmed that there are footages of the astronauts' UFO sightings. The videos, however, were not released to the public.
"Existence of Extraterrestrial Space Vehicles OF Enormous Size & Power Is a Fact" – Ex NASA Scientist
by Arjun Walia March 19, 2019 (collective-evolution.com)
• The evidence for the existence of UFOs is overwhelming, whether it's credible witness testimonies from thousands of high-ranking military personnel, academicians, scientists, astronauts, and politicians, or the millions of pages of UFO files published by dozens of governments, or platforms like Tom Delong's 'To The Stars' that has former high-ranking intelligence agency officials on their team. UFO disclosure within the mainstream world is occurring in many different ways.
• It's a sad reality that mainstream media mouthpieces like CNN and the New York Times have to acknowledge something in order for it to gain credibility. But mainstream media is completely run by intelligence agencies, government agencies and powerful corporations as a tool to program the minds of the masses to best suit their owners' interests. Authoritative figures (like the government) are actively censoring information and deeming certain outlets that address controversial issues as 'fake news' simply because it threatens corporate, political, and elitist agendas.
• UFOs are no longer taboo. But the extraterrestrial hypothesis as a possible explanation for their existence is still taboo. When it comes to the idea that some of these crafts are extraterrestrial in origin, there is no shortage of verified credible sources. One of them is Dr. Norman Bergrun who had a long career with Ames Research Laboratory, NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics), Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, and NASA. (Bergrun died in California in July 2018.)
• In his 1986 book, Ringmakers of Saturn, Bergrun states multiple times that extraterrestrial vehicles 100% exist. Writes Bergrun, "Luminous sources at Saturn have been observed. In one instance, a fiery source moved suddenly away from the A-ring outer edge. In another unrelated instance a bright, elongated source pursuing a straight-line course entered the A-ring outer edge." "Existence of extraterrestrial space vehicles of enormous size and power is a fact."
• The pictures NASA got back from the Voyager mission to Saturn in 1980, which produced the photo images to which Bergrun refers, were apparently so mind-altering that they locked them up according to retired U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major Bob Dean, a close friend of Bergrun.
• In 2012, Project Camelot's Kerry Cassidy interviewed Bergrun. Kerry asked him about extraterrestrial beings, and Bergrun stated, "[T]here is the ship that picked up the Voyager Capsule at Alameda Naval Shipyard. And they have a picture there of, I think it's the Apollo flight that Buz and Niel were on, but anyway, there's one image there that shows Black People getting off." Bergrun described them as very tall, stating that "7 feet would be a conservative estimate."
• Humanity is living in a very special, prophesied, and very spiritual time. The truth is indeed out there for those who look. The extraterrestrial UFO topic relates to every aspect of the human experience. We are still in our infancy as a race, and throughout history there have always been paradigm-shifting realizations and events. We are simply at stage one in the progression of humanity that we have to go through to inevitably become a spacefaring race ourselves.
When it comes to credible sources for the existence of UFOs, there is no shortage. The evidence for the existence of UFOs is overwhelming to say the least, whether it's credible witness testimonies from thousands of high-ranking military personnel, academicians, scientists, astronauts, and politicians, or the millions of pages of UFO files published by dozens of governments, or platforms like Tom Delonge's To The Stars that has former high-ranking intelligence agency officials on their team. UFO disclosure within the mainstream world is occurring in many different ways.
Norman Bergrun
That being said, it's always been occurring, and it's a sad reality that mainstream media and establishment mouthpieces like CNN and the New York Times have to give attention to something in order for it to gain credibility. Mainstream media has always been used as a tool to program the minds of the masses and influence their perception for ulterior motives, typically to best suit their owners' interests. A great example would be the 'the war on terror.' Now, authoritative figures (like the government) are actively censoring information, deeming certain outlets that address controversial issues as 'fake news' simply because it threatens corporate, political, and elitist agendas. Even mainstream media journalists themselves have been 'blowing the whistle' that these outlets are completely run by intelligence agencies, government agencies and powerful corporations. Are you really that surprised? There are also declassified documents showing the influence intelligence agencies have over not just mainstream media, but academia as well.
Why is the above paragraph relevant to the topic of UFOs? Because this field has a long history of infiltration and disinformation. Given mainstream media's track record of spreading misinformation and hiding the truth, it's not easy to trust anything that comes from these sources, including any information that comes out regarding UFOs. That being said, mainstream UFO disclosure so far seems to involve no deception, as they simply continue to push the fact that these objects are real and have steered away, so far, from any type of false interpretation.
UFOs are no longer taboo, but the extraterrestrial hypothesis as a possible explanation for their existence still seems to be. Prior to all of the official witness testimonies, electrooptical data, video footage, and pictures being released proving the existence of UFOs, claiming the existence of these crafts was also taboo.
When it comes to the idea that some of these crafts are extraterrestrial in origin, there is no shortage of verified credible sources. One of them is Dr. Bergrun, who had a long career with Ames Research Laboratory, NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics), Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, and NASA.
In his book, Ringmakers of Saturn, he states multiple times that extraterrestrial vehicles 100% exist. On page 89, for example, he states: "Existence of extraterrestrial space vehicles of enormous size and power is a fact, the significance of which is difficult to grasp, let alone assess. Departing now from the tedious fact-development process, this chapter stands back and takes a philosophical look at the findings."
In his book, Norman provides pictures taken from Voyager 1 and 2 flybys of Saturn to illustrate this. "Luminous sources at Saturn have been observed, notably by Herschel, Knight and Ainslie. In one instance, a fiery source moved suddenly away from the A-ring outer edge. In another unrelated instance a bright, elongated source pursuing a straight-line course entered the A-ring outer edge. After these dramatic events, luminous sources did not become a specific subject of inquiry as might be expected – that is, until this analysis many years later."
Another great quote from the book found on page 49 is: "Evidence is 100 percent positive that propulsive vehicles generate the inner and outer Enke A rings of Saturn. Presence of these units is made fortuitously clear in Plates 5 through 8."
The pictures NASA got back from the Voyager mission to Saturn in 1980 were apparently so mind-altering that they locked them up–at least that's what retired U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major Bob Dean said in this lecture. He also showed numerous photographs from the Apollo missions that were never released to the public.
Dean was a good friend of Bergrun, and mentioned that Norman had to go through some trouble to get his book published. Below you will see another picture of a 'luminous source' provided in Bergrun's book from the Voyager missions, hovering just outside one of Saturns rings. I circled it in red. This one is also approximately the size of our planet. According to Bergrun, there are several large crafts "proliferating" out around Saturn and its moons.
Why Saturn's Moon Iapetus Could Have Been Artificially Made By Extraterrestrials
by Arjun Walia February 7, 2019 (collective-evolution.com)
• Iapetus – Iapetus is a moon of Saturn that was discovered by Italian astronomer Giovaccini Domenico Cassini in 1671. What is so interesting about Iapetus is that there is a mountain-like ridge running around the moon's equator that measures up to 20 kilometres tall, twice the size of Mt Everest, and approximately 200 kilometres thick. (Iapetus is pictured above) It is actually the tallest mountain range in our entire Solar System. But the rest of the moon is flat. This would indicate that it is artificially constructed. A lot of prominent researchers and scientists say that the Earth's Moon is also artificially constructed. Of course, they're generally ignored by the mainstream. But most interesting is the fact that both our Moon and Iapetus' moon are in a near perfect circular orbit, and one side always faces its planetary host, locked into position.
• The Moon – On more than one occasion, researchers have found strange and large artificial structures on the back side of the Moon. We have witness testimony from credible sources including high ranking intelligence and military people who have revealed structures on the Moon. Carl Sagan once pointed out that artifacts found on the Moon or other orbiting objects in the solar system might be stored there by previous [extraterrestrial] expeditions for use in successive visits to our star system, avoiding detection by Earthbound humans. The Deputy Manager for the 1995 Clementine Mission to the Moon said it was really a reconnaissance mission to check out the bases on the back side of the Moon. In 1962, NASA scientist Gordon MacDonald published a paper stating it's more likely that the Moon is hollow than not. MIT's Sean C. Solomon furthered this statement citing knowledge of the Moon's gravitation field as evidence for the assertion. Multiple governments, including Russia, have been calling for an international investigation as to where much of NASA's photographs, footage and even Moon rocks have disappeared.
• Mars – There is no doubt that life once flourished on Mars, with vast oceans, mountain ranges and greenery. There may have been a very intelligent civilization on Mars, and still might be within it. A recent paper in the Journal Scientific Exploration "hinted strongly at artificial surface interventions" in the Cydonia region on Mars where there are pyramids and 'The Face on Mars'. NASA astronaut Dr. Brian O'Leary even accused Carl Sagan of covering up the fact that NASA knew the Face on Mars was artificial. Buzz Aldrin spoke about a monolith on a moon of Mars.
• Saturn – The pictures NASA got back from the Voyager mission to Saturn in 1980 were apparently so mind-altering that they locked them up, according to retired U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major Bob Dean. In his book "The Ringmakers of Saturn", Norman Bergrun revealed a NASA secret that large spacecraft were "proliferating" around Saturn's rings and moons, and that these extraterrestrial 'vehicles' were responsible for making artificial rings around Saturn. Photographs of Saturn show something luminous near the gas giant planet's surface. Bergrun had to leave the country in order to publish the book, and today a copy of the book is so rare that it is worth thousands of dollars.
Our solar system is fascinating, to say the least, and there is still so much we don't know about it. What makes one even more curious is knowing the organizations and people who operate at the highest levels of 'security clearances' probably know a whole lot more. That being said, if you're independently curious, there are more than enough resources available to satisfy your curiosity, you will find a way to investigate. At the very least you could get access to the best telescope you have and stare at the other planets, our Moon, and the Moons of other planets.
Perhaps the best thing to do is simply sift through the literature and you will find no shortage of strange anomalies that have been discovered in space -there's truly no shortage. It's also likely you will come across the tremendous amounts of controversy that come with these discoveries as well. Strange findings have been subject to ridicule within the mainstream, but that hasn't stopped hundreds, if not thousands, of researchers and insiders from all backgrounds from continuing their study and education.
The Face On Mars Example
The Face on Mars is a good example of anomalies and ridicule. It has been the subject of several published papers that clearly show a high chance of artificial construction. Carl Sagan was even accused by his colleague, physicist and NASA astronaut Dr. Brian O'Leary for covering up the fact that 'they' knew the Face on Mars was artificial.
Today, it's a much different story, and it appears that there is no doubt that life once flourished on Mars prior to the massive climate shift which occurred there that made it what it is today. Not many people know that Mars was once very Earth-like, with vast oceans, mountain ranges and greenery. Little did we know that there may have been a very intelligent civilization there, and still might be, perhaps within in.
A paper published in the Jornal Scientific Exploration was one of the latest to examine the Cydonia region on Mars. As the authors point out, "it validates the earlier measurements obtained using the lower resolution NASA Viking images, which hinted strongly at artificial surface interventions." The key word there is artificial surface interventions. There are pyramids and faces on Mars, similar and in some cases, larger than those found here on planet Earth.
Our Own Moon
Then we have the Moon, which has also been the subject of recent peer-reviewed research. On more than one occasion, researchers have found what appears to be strange, and large, artificial structures on the back side of the Moon, the side we can never see unless we send probes and astronauts around it. To compliment all of the information regarding the Moon, we have statements from a number of credible sources in the form of witness testimony, from high ranking intelligence and military people etc. It's safe to say that something strange is happening on the Moon. I do believe we went there, but I also believe what we were shown and told was heavily sanitized. Let's not forget about Buzz Aldrin being so outspoken about a "Monolyth on the (one of the) moon of Mars."
Iapetus, Perhaps The Most Puzzling
Which brings me to the topic of this article, Iapetus, one of Saturn's moons. What's unique about it is the fact that it has what appears to be a huge mountainous ridge that measures up to 20 kilometres tall, twice the size of Everest, and approximately 200 kilometres thick. It can be seen running exactly along the equator for well over three-quarters of the moon's entire circumference, but it's safe to assume around the entire planet. It was discovered in 2004, early in the Cassini mission.
First, let me set the stage. Iapetus is bizarre in a lot of ways. It has a yin-yang surface of dark and bright material. It is unexpectedly flat pole-to-pole. It seems to have an excessive number of large impact basins. And it has a mountainous ridge, up to 20 kilometres tall, running exactly along its equator for well over three-quarters of its entire circumference. The existence of this ridge was revealed very early in the Cassini mission, in an encounter at the end of 2004. – Jim Mars, Our Occulted History
A number of prominent researchers and scientists have hypothesized that our own Moon is artificial in nature, as so they have done with other Moons, like Iapetus. That being said, we don't hear much about these theories & the credibility of the people behind them. They're completely ignored by the mainstream simply because they don't fit within the mainstream narrative which is nothing more than a theory in itself.


I moved her into a large Macaw cage with just a couple of small toys already hanging in it. Most breeding birds have never seen a toy, it is not their "job"to play or be distracted from reproducing. It was also equipped with several perches. Girlfriend simply chose a perch and stayed there, not sure what to make of a cage after having flight previously. She also had no idea what pellet was, one more challenge for her and I to overcome.
After awhile of putting treats in her bowl I began to offer them from my hand through the bars. I took awhile but she eventually started to come closer, wanting the treat. She was rewarded for each step toward the treat by having it put in her bowl where she was more comfortable retrieving it. The big day finally arrived when she took the treat from my hand, even if it was through the cage bars, and it was followed by lots of praise.
Slowly, I began to reach toward her with my hand in the cage to offer the treats from my hand. It took a few days but she did begin to trust my hands reaching toward her. The step up teaching had begun. We continued to work until during the 6th month, Girlfriend stepped onto my outstretched hand. The trip from there was quick to lead to scritches. I had won her trust!

Russian history professor pens 'The Merchants of Siberia: Trade in Early Modern Eurasia'
Categories: Foreign Languages & Literature UNM Bookstore
Assistant Professor Erika Monahan will be at the UNM Bookstore on Wednesday, May 4 at 12 p.m. to sign copies of The Merchants of Siberia (Cornell University Press, 2016). This event is open to the public.
In The Merchants of Siberia: Trade in Early Modern Eurasia, Monahan examines Russian trade, demonstrating that trade in Siberia from the late 16th through 18th centuries was more extensive and significant than has been acknowledged heretofore. She follows the history of three Russian families from various social ranks who conducted trade in Siberia for over a century.
Monahan informs readers about European trade, merchants, and uses to improve understanding of commerical activity and merchants in Russia. The Merchants of Siberia gives readers a revision of the way one imagines the Muscovite economy in the early modern era, and invites readers to rethink Russia's place in the early modern world.
Monahan is an assistant professor of Russian history at UNM and holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University. She has contributed her articles to many works, including Portraits of Old Russia, Early Modern Things, and Russia's People of Empire.
The UNM Bookstore is located at 2301 Central Ave. NE at the intersection of Cornell and Central. For more information contact Marie Claire Day at 277-1388 or email, mclaired@unm.edu.
