Quotes about moving on and quotes to live by after heartbreak

/in , /by

Heartbreak Quotes About Moving On – Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night.  I miss you like hell.

 

Heartbreak Quotes To Live By – Real loss only occurs when you lose something that you love more than yourself.

 

Here we are standing at some point in our lives where both of us are clueless. Somehow passing this point makes it too hard to go back, back to days where nothing mattered, where we lived carefree. Maybe somehow we need to go back, maybe we just aren’t ready, I’m not sure and I’m scared. I’m scared to ruin what we’ve already started and scared to go on to something I can’t handle

 

I have waited for you for 2 years and I will wait for you for the rest of my life. Even if that means I have to give you up for the rest of my life, I will wait for you. I love you that much and nothing will ever change that

 

Let your tears come. Let them water your soul.

 

When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness; instead keep your head up high and gaze into heaven for that is where your broken heart has been sent to heal.

 

I wish everyone in the world was a different color, some shades would be similar, but there would only be two of the same color. The goal: to match colors. Along the way, there will be several people with similar shades, but none of your true color.

But when you find your matching color staring back at you – you’ll know.

 

Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

 

Heartbreak Quotes about moving on – What right have I to grieve, who have not ceased to wonder?

 

You’ll never know how much you mean to me, as long as i live you’re still part of me. there was something about you that i can’t forget, you made my hopes and dreams become reality…i’ll always remember you and pray you’ll remember that somehow we were meant to be.

 

Heartbreak Quotes to live by – one can resist tears and ‘behave’ very well in the hardest hours of grief.  But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer… and everything collapses.

 

today was just one of those days where everything i did reminded me of you and every song i heard somehow related to you. i hate days like today, because they remind me of the one thing i don’t have

Gengo Closes a New Round of Funding with Intel Capital, Atomico, Iris Capital, Infocomm Investments, NTT-IP Fund and STC Ventures

/in , /by

Tokyo (PRWEB) April 24, 2013

Gengo, the translation platform for global companies, announced that the company has recently closed a US$ 12M round of funding led by Intel Capital, along with participation from Iris Capital, Infocomm Investments, NTT-IP Fund and STC Ventures, and from returning investor Atomico.

Gengo provides an API and platform for fast, high-quality human translation for 33 languages, provided by a pool of over 7,500 tested and rated translators for global large and small-and-medium-sized companies as well as individuals. Currently, leading e-commerce, online travel, and community portals are powered by its translation platform.

With this new round of financing, Gengo will accelerate global expansion, while also improving the translation platform and increasing the speed of the translation process. Gengo recently partnered with YouTube, enabling video uploaders to order professional-quality translation for their captions. Leveraging Gengo’s translation platform, more and more of this kind of online communications will happen globally.

“The Gengo team is excited about working with investors from Asia, the USA, Europe, and the Middle East, lead by Intel Capital, because of their global experience and track record helping entrepreneurs,” said Robert Laing, CEO and co-founder of Gengo. “There’s a significant technology component to human translation at scale, so it’s great to work with a firm with the pedigree of Intel Capital,” added Matthew Romaine, CTO and co-founder of Gengo.

“As the Internet breaks down the concept of national borders, we think Gengo’s service will vitalize communication for people around the world.” said Kaz Yoshida, President, Intel K.K. “It will help to break the language barrier and bring together the wisdom of the people to address global social challenges we are facing. Intel promotes innovation so that people can enjoy rich and fulfilling experiences.”

“Gengo is at the forefront of the crowd-sourced translation space,” said Sudheer Kuppam, Managing Director for Asia Pacific at Intel Capital. “Intel Capital welcomes Gengo to its portfolio. We look forward to working with the company to bring this unique service to more users worldwide.”

“Since our original investment, Gengo has proven it can scale its business across the world whilst growing its revenue fourfold,” said Hiro Tamura, Partner at Atomico. “We are excited to have Intel Capital, Infocomm and Orange all join the team as they share our core belief that the world is getting smaller, and that the most successful businesses of tomorrow will be truly global.”

“The 33 billion-dollar translation market is expected to experience a radical change and we believe that Gengo will play a crucial role in the change,” said Denis Barrier, Partner at Iris Capital. “We think it’s wonderful that Gengo has been based in both Asia and Silicon Valley since its establishment and is managed by visionary founders with global perspective”

“We are excited to join the team of truly global investors in helping Gengo with its expansion plans” said Kuo-Yi Lim, CEO of Infocomm Investments. “Singapore is well positioned – with a multicultural and multilingual environment, and diverse talent pool – as a base for Gengo’s growth into the rest of Asia.”

“Gengo provides crowd-sourced translation services utilizing a uniquely developed platform”, said Nobuyuki Akimoto, Executive Vice President & COO at DOCOMO Innovation Ventures. “They have been creating growing opportunities as a globally expanding start-up company and we look forward to their growth.”

Kickstarter Project Update: Lumi Wine Wall Announces its Wireless Feature to its Upcycled Illuminated Moduluar Wine Wall

/in , /by


Healdsburg, CA (PRWEB) April 25, 2013

Dale Rorabaugh, the creator of the Lumi Wine Wall, has announced the addition of battery power for the wine wall system. Featuring a contemporary design, the upcycled wine wall system also now allows the user to choose between a 12V wall transformer and alkaline or rechargeable batteries for each stave. Each battery box is located on the back of the stave bottom with a convenient on/off switch for operation. The illumination feature is what makes the Lumi Wine Wall stand out from the rest.

Designed to accommodate small or large spaces for homes, restaurants or wineries, the Lumi Wine Wall will fit any decor whether contemporary or traditional. The Lumi Wine Wall has been upcycled from American and French oak wine barrels. It is modularly built and can be used in units from one to six with each stave holding seven bottles. Twenty-four Super Bright LED lights used to illuminate each stave are energy-efficient saving electricity. Angle-specific holes drilled into each stave hold the wine bottles. Each wooden piece is finished using a custom Danish oil to season the wood. An aircraft-grade anodized aluminum heavy-duty bar backs the modules. All staves are then finished with a custom Danish oil.

The recently launched Kickstarter crowd-source funding campaign will earn the capital for the project. Between five and 10 workers in Healdsburg area are expected to be employed this spring. Their goal is to raise $ 15,000 to help offset the product development and bring the product to market faster than otherwise possible.

In addition, the company adheres to a “green philosophy” that includes upcycled materials, composting the sawdust, handcrafting, recycling packaging and reducing office and advertising paper.

San Francisco Tops Ranker's April Rankings of America's Coolest Cities

/in , /by


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 26, 2013

San Francisco holds a narrow lead over New York City as the #1 coolest city on Ranker’s “America’s Coolest Cities” list, a crowd-sourced list on the consumer opinions website, Ranker.com. More than 1,000 people have voted on the list as of April, 2013 and the gap between the cities competing for “Coolest City in the US” is smaller than Rhode Island. The top 10 has cities representing both coasts, the South, and the Midwest while seemingly thriving cities like Los Angeles and Miami not even making the Top 10.

The rest of the Top 10 Coolest Cities in US are as follows:

1) San Francisco

2) New York City

3) Boston

4) Seattle

5) New Orleans

6) Chicago

7) Austin

8) Portland

9) Honolulu

10) Las Vegas

David Kevoe, who was born on the East Coast but settled in LA, thinks show business’s biggest city ranks lower on the list because “LA is the place I would want to live mainly due to the sun and the weather, but not that much fun to visit compared to these other cities”. Kevoe’s pick for #1 city is Las Vegas due mostly to the entertainment value offered.

See the full list of Awesome US Cities, as well as 1,000’s of other Travel lists at Ranker.com.

Ranker.com is the premier data source for aggregated consumer opinions. Over seven million people go to Ranker each month to view, rank and vote their opinions on matters both entertaining and practical. Ranker’s proprietary algorithms and datacentric approach to opinion aggregation deliver the most credible answers from “the best” to “the worst” across a wide range of topics including food, sports, travel, entertainment, cars and many others.

Royaltyfreekings.Com On Track To Hit 1 Million Plays Within Weeks

/in , /by


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 30, 2013

May will bring about a recent new milestone for RoyaltyFreeKings.com: 1,000,000 plays through their demo player (powered by SoundCloud.com). In their first year of operation, RoyaltyFreeKings.com has become known throughout the world as a source of quality music. Traffic to the website and sales of the library’s downloadable background music have steadily increased each month as producers from every corner of the world have learned of the music licensing website, and the strict quality control that runs through the entire catalog.

In addition to this significant milestone, RoyaltyFreeKings.com recently clocked up over 50,000 downloads of their free tracks, which are available to anyone with a budget under US$ 250,000.

Wedding video producers have been the of focus of RoyaltyFreeKings.com’s attention of late. With over 2 million weddings each year in just the USA alone, the 40 billion dollar wedding industry has grown to include thousands of independent videographers and editors whose primary work is producing wedding videos and photo montages. Music licensing website RoyaltyFreeKings.com has amassed a collection of music aimed squarely at these wedding video producers, with dozens of heartfelt instrumental tracks designed for montages, and live renditions of wedding classics, such as: the Wedding March and Pachebel’s Canon for traditional use within wedding ceremonies.

With wedding season just around the corner, RoyaltyFreeKings.com offers several hand-picked albums of royalty free wedding music, including: Weddings & Romance volumes 1 and 2, three diverse “Drama – Light” albums and two “Laidback Acoustic” guitar albums. As with all the music found on the site, every track has been handpicked for quality and maximum emotional impact.

In addition to the music for wedding videos offered at RoyaltyFreeKings.com, over 1000 tracks covering a wide range of genres are available for immediate download.

In recent months, RoyaltyFreeKings.com has been busy with major under-the-hood updates in preparation for a steady stream of new royalty free albums and tracks. The considerable addition to the catalog includes an eclectic selection of new albums, including western film music, solo piano and epic orchestral trailer music, all aimed primarily at independent producers.

Several new releases include: ‘Wild Wild West’; a royalty free western music album featuring sweeping orchestral film music and brooding western acoustic soundscapes, ‘Moody Piano’; solo royalty free piano tracks aimed at independent dramatic films and perfect as music for a documentary; and ‘Epic Worlds 3’; modern royalty free epic music designed for use in trailers and promos.

Alongside the new tracks and albums, a wide selection of free-to-use production tracks is also available to anyone working with a low to medium budget (US$ 250,000 or less per project). The music is immediately downloadable and ready to use. This complimentary background music section has proved to be very popular with students, educators and charities around the world. The range of styles and genres in the music given away by RoyaltyFreeKings.com include: epic dramatic orchestral, ambient piano, jazz, comedy, rock and suspense tension.

The mission of RoyaltyFreeKings.com since launching in 2012 has been to make searching for background music for video production incredibly easy and streamlined. The crowd-sourcing business model (where anyone can upload music), like that used by many competing royalty free websites, has the benefit of a rapid expansion of content. The downside is that with so many tracks being uploaded, the catalog easily gets bloated with mediocre music that does little to enhance a project, whether it’s a commercial, wedding video, film or webisode. Producers looking through these crowd-sourcing music licensing websites have to spend significant time sifting through vast collections to find something they’d actually want to use, or worse – settle for something inferior just because they don’t have the time to continue searching.

By hand picking each track, RoyaltyFreeKings.com only allows in music that meets a strict standard of musicality and production value. The growing catalog of hand-picked tracks at RoyaltyFreeKings.com is produced by an international group of over fifty award winning composers, including a pop rock producer in Finland, a Nashville based folk and country expert, a heavy metal specialist in Italy, a renowned acoustic guitar artist in Hawaii and several well-known trailer music composers. The high quality of tracks from these composers results is a streamlined shopping experience where producers can find, purchase and download the music they need within just a few minutes.

A guiding principle for RoyaltyFreeKings.com is fair treatment of their content suppliers. The composers who provide the carefully vetted music are given an equal share of the sales, before any discounts a customer might receive. This is in sharp contrast to many of its competitors, some of whom are offering far less – 40%, 35%, or in some cases just 30% of the sales to composers.

I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom.

 

When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out.

 

In life, don’t wait for things to happen.

Make them.

 

Waste your money and you’re only out of money, but waste your time and you’ve lost a part of your life.

 

Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their authors’ minds ages ago.

 

Quotes to live by – Man improves himself as he follows his path; if he stands still, waiting to improve before he makes a decision, he’ll never move.

 

I have found men who didn’t know how to kiss. I’ve always found time to teach them.
