The mindset of a true entrepreneur
How do they see business opportunities?
The ability of a successful entrepreneur in business is to know how to see what a market sector needs, a need not yet satisfied. He/she is observant by nature in his/her daily live, even when doing any work or business, observing things that should improve in the treatment of customers.
It is very necessary to be able to motivate people, to adapt to inevitable changes over the course of events, to be able to see solutions and make decisions in a timely manner.
The entrepreneur has his attention focused on understanding how to benefit customers, and make that a profitable business, or launching a product that meets an unmet need. Thinking about how to achieve that and having the ability to select those who will help in the task.
To realize the business ideas, you must meet work and investment levels that sometimes are out of your possibilities.

Businesses in real life
Even though you have the drive, the vocation of service, or you have identified a business idea that sets you apart from what is offered in the market, given the features and advantages of a product because of attention, speed, and aspects were not taken into account in the market, it could be an obstacle not having the amount of investment needed to start a successful venture. You need to have an administrative base suitable enough without being oversized. You should establish contacts with suppliers who can assist you with purchases that may not be important at first, and many more features.
In the case of a venture through the installation of a store, you should be able to identify the area, the right place, always with the limitations of the investment to be made. You must know how to negotiate with the real estate agencies in order to achieve reasonable costs.
One step possible to take
Often the natural insight that entrepreneurs have made them analyze alternative paths when they don't have enough financial backing to meet the start-up costs of a business at their own risk.
That's the reason for the phenomenal success of franchises
There are many business opportunities in franchising; the entrepreneur knows how to analyze more deeply than ordinary people. His/her condition to be sharp and make intelligent observations help him/her find the mark on the activity or industry that best fits his/her vision. His/her dreams of working independently can be fulfilled, acting on his/her own, but with the addition of having a team behind that is there to help.
His/her creative impetus is all that is not yet fully developed in his/her personality, since he/she can't make innovations on his/her own. You should stick to one way of doing things that is proven by the Franchisor Company. However, you should ensure that the customer is satisfied, serving with willingly and courtesy, and other conditions of a good service, which will never be in confrontation with the policy of any company.
But the fact of being part of a successful company, with all the opportunities open in terms of management, marketing, payroll, sourcing, real estate assistance, and more are not as creative but indispensable. With the purchase of a franchise these steps are fulfilled.
Furthermore, entrepreneurship is something welcomed by franchising companies, being one of its objectives to expand its business, adding value to team members.

I often say to with my clients that "Once you enter my kingdom, you will never leave"...I don't know, but I just love staying in touch with them, specially with past brides and see their families grow:); hearing about their lives brings me content.
When Gigi called to say that her baby was turning one, and she needed a smash cake cake for a photo shoot, I though "That is awesome"...and then, I thought, "but I have never made a smash cake before!"
The funny thing is that I'm used to make multi-tier intricate confections (Her wedding cake was 9 tier tall, THAT should intimidate anyone, right?)...and a little cake like this shouldn't have intimidated me...but it did.
The thing is that my client said that this will be her baby's first cake and sugar experience, EVER (besides fruit). That sounds daunting, doesn't it?
She had specific requests with the look of the cake; to match the feel of the photo shoot, she wanted to incorporate primary colors....inside and out!
I chose to use for this order the tiniest sugar sequins to adorn this Italian butter cream iced cake:)...The word "choking", was lingering in my head s I made this cake. Gigi wanted a cake that was colored inside and I though that would be such a cool experience for him...and such a great photo op! Now, rich and saturated colored cakes mean LOTS of color, and the idea of this being his first cake experience daunted me; this HAD to be a successful experience!
What I decided to do was to add enough color to have a tasty and good-looking cake, but avoided over saturated colors, like primary colors. Bottom line, colors CAN be easily modified in digital photography!!!!
In order to color your cake batter, all you have to do is whip your favorite cake recipe, divide the batter in equal portions and add your edible food color:). Now, this may sound easier than it actually is, and here are some considerations to have before coloring your batter!
1. Not all edible colors are created equal.
Some colors may change the flavor of the cake, while others may change its texture and consistency; baking is a science after all, and you may need to rebalance your recipe when adding new variables to the mix. My matrix cake is a rich and moist butter based cake, so I chose to use gel color rather than liquid colors; the reason is that my cakes is high in fat...and fat and water don't mix well, right?...unless you emulsify them, and this is not possible to do once color is added at the end of the mixing process.
Now, if you desire to color the entire batch of cake batter, then you could add color along with your fat; which in this case is Butter!
2. The color shade of your batter may differ from that of the baked cake.
As always make a few tests before committing to the final product; cupcakes are really good and practical color testing subjects:)
3. Avoid over saturating your batter.
Adding high amounts of color to your batter may oversaturate it with color and as a result, your cake will ooze color and leave everybody with colored teeth:). My teenage daughter is a big fan of french macaroons, and one time we bought bright green french macaroons...her green teeth didn't make her happy and the colored lingered for a few days, and as you can imagine, this was big drama!
4. Color follows taste, right?
I borrowed this line from the architectural say "Form follows function", and what I mean by this is that I think that it is cool when colored batters have flavors that relates to the color of the cake...blue=cotton candy, red= berries, purple=lavender?...does this make sense to you?. After all, amazing flavor should be any cake decorator's number one goal!
I hope that you try this technique and surprise a loved one with a delicious and so vey good looking cake!!!
As always, thank you for stopping by:)

What To Do After a Collision
Many of us in Oceanside CA have had the good fortune of not being in a car collision. When it does happen, it's easy to forget what to do to protect ourselves because of the adrenalin rushing through our bodies.
To remember all the things you need to do to avoid messy insurance issues later, keep this post-collision checklist in your glove box:
First, try to stay calm. Then focus on your body. You will need to provide information on bodily injuries to the insurance company.
- Call 911 if you or anyone else is seriously hurt.
- Call your local police to file a report of the accident. Give them as many details as possible from your perspective.
- Note any injuries (use pen & paper, phone call to voicemail, text or whatever's handy). Check for headache, shoulder pain, knee pain, back pain etc.
Second, get the other driver's information they may not live in Vista, CA and you could never see them again if not.
- The driver's license number, name and address. Check their license if possible to copy the information.
- Write down the license plate numbers of all of the cars involved in the collision besides your own.
- Write down the make, model and color of all of the other cars involved.
- Make sure to get the driver's insurance company name and the policy number.
Third, document the collision and seek medical attention. Again, if you do not have pen and paper, you can text, take pictures or call a trusted voicemail box.
- Take pictures of your injuries and damage to the cars or property involved.
- Take down witness' information (usually name and phone number will do).
- Write down what happened. The insurance companies will ask you lots of questions and you'll want to be clear on what you'll say and not leave anything out.
- Seek prompt medical attention. You may think you are alright, but you may actually be hurt and not feel pain because of the adrenalin rush.
- If you are hurt, show or tell the doctor the notes you made at the time of the accident.
Fourth, follow through with the appropriate parties.
- Call your insurance company as soon as you get the chance and mention all of the notes you took at the time of the collision.
- Call your lawyer for guidance and information on dealing with the insurance companies involved.
Collisions are unusual experiences, so it is easy to forget the simple steps we can take to protect ourselves and avoid auto repair . Take a moment now to print this out and put it in your glove box. Hopefully you will never have to use it, but if you do get into a collision this checklist will make sure you have everything you need.
Safe driving from your friends at North County Import Specialist!

William Prager Professor, Department of Structural Engineering
Director, Center for Extreme Events Research
The failure processes in the materials exhibit distinct characteristics depending on the material ductility, the loading rate, and the environmental conditions. The mathematical models and the associated numerical methods for describing the material failure processes can be classified as the discrete description based on fracture mechanics and the continuum phenomenological description based on damage mechanics. This work first discusses how damage mechanics based models can be formulated by the homogenization of fracture models. The challenges in the numerical approximation and discretization of failure modeling based on fracture mechanics and damage mechanics will then be addressed. The mesh dependent issue in the micro-crack informed damage model remedied by the implicit gradient regularization or scaling laws under the Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM) will introduced, and stability and convergence of the proposed numerical methods will be discussed. The application of the meshfree RKPM formulation for fracture to damage multiscale mechanics and materials modeling, and their applications to the modeling of extreme events, will be demonstrated. These include the modeling of man-made disasters such as fragment-impact processes, penetration, shock and blast events, as well as natural disasters such as landslide will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new developments.

The September production of this 1964 dark comedy will be the first time one of Joe Orton's works has been presented on the Swan stage. Lauded by Sir Terence Rattigan when first produced as the 'best first play' he'd seen in 'thirty odd years', it will give our audiences a snapshot of 1960s Britain and some of the ways in which a lack of acceptance and empathy affected people who - for whatever reason - did not conform to the social conventions of the time. In particular; those members of society damaged early in their lives who - in order to cope with adult life - ended up preying on the goodwill and vulnerability of others. Manipulation, jealousy, murder, the shame of unmarried motherhood, the frustrations of illegal homosexuality and a chilling failure to nurture children in care are some of the themes in this play. Orton knits them all together with wit and his typical sharpness for social commentary.
Heavy stuff, then? Not convinced this is a comedy? So come along to the Swan and surprise yourself!
Doors open 7:15pm, show starts 7:45pm.

This blog will continue on the theme of Reise u. Speise, Travel and Food, but that will come later. The Aloft Hotel was comfortable. The best part was a lovely phone call from Kathy.
Next, the airport. Getting through security was okay.
After a generic breakfast at the local PDX airport, I found FREE Wi-Fi! I'm plugged in right now. You used to have to pay where ever you went just two years ago! Yes, I know, everything is getting worse except for a few things, like communications and computers, which are getting better.
Since I can't unpack, I won't be able to send any pix right now. However, I want to thank Steve and Sandy again for the ride up to the PDX hotel. I'm still looking for a good story for you, Steve.

Hurricane Harvey:Thousands of residents trapped on their rooftops in flooded Houston, are pleading for help on social media
According to reports, the storm swept into Texas as a Category 4 hurricane over the weekend, but continued its relentless devastation in Houston on Sunday as the catastrophic flooding forced evacuations.
Many trapped residents are pleading on social media for help, as the Houston police department have urged the public to donate their boats in other to rescue victims after they received 6,000 calls for rescues.
The storm has claimed the lives at least five people while the Galveston County alone estimates that up to 1,200 people had to be rescued so far.
Mail Online also reports that the storm has already dumped a historic 11 trillion gallons of water on Texas with another 27 inches of rain falling so far and another 23 inches expected to come within the next few days.
FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, revealed it would take the area years to recover from the storm which is the worst this decade.

"We had consultations with a few planners before meeting with Alisha and each time the meeting was over, I would turn to my fiance and say "Onto the next...". One planner criticized my vision, another seemed disorganized and it was just disappointing each time...until we met with Alisha! The moment we met Alisha, she was warm, welcoming, organized and super friendly. It was so comfortable. She was thorough in explaining her services and we really enjoyed the online platform she uses with her couples to organize every last detail of the day. Alisha & team are quick with their responses and keep it professional - as necessary. :) On the wedding day, the execution was perfect. Not a thing went wrong...at least to my knowledge, and that's the way every bride should feel. Thank you Alisha & team for being so amazing! Our day wouldn't have been as perfect as it was, if it weren't for you."

For five long days, the parents of Daniel Firkins have kept vigil at the bedside of their barely recognizable firstborn son.
Witnesses say Firkins was leaning in a window of a taxi while arguing with the driver when the cab took off, dragging him for a block before running over his legs Friday afternoon near his Near West Side home.
His 32nd birthday was the next day, and friends were planning a barbecue for him.
Maureen and David Firkins say they are prepared for the worst for their son, a full-time MBA student and die-hard Cubs fan who is in a drug-induced coma.

24.com - World news Girl marries dog to break spell Girl marries dog to break spell
New Delhi - A seven-year-old tribal girl in India's eastern state of Jharkhand on Tuesday married a stray dog as part of traditional rituals to ward off an "evil spell", witnesses said.
The wedding took place in a village near the state's industrial city of Jamshedpur and several relatives of the girl attended the function believing that the union would bode well for the family, a villager Sonu Pariyar said.
The dog was made to wear sunglasses and was brought to the venue under a decorated umbrella, while an estimated 150 guests danced to the beating of drums and drank home-made liquor.
The girl, who uses the name Pushpa, had to be married because she had a tooth rooted to her upper gum which is considered a bad omen by her tribe in south-eastern Jharkhand.
"Tribal elders said that she should marry the dog or face bad luck. According to their belief, families having a rough time should marry off their children to dogs to ward off evil spirits," Pariyar said.
At least it's not as bad as gay marriage

There are so many things that I won't do again because I've learned that they aren't for me or that specific types of situations really aren't going to get me the results I would want. But the beautiful part about it all is that I can just live it in my imagination, where, if I don't like the outcome, I can ponder up an alternative or two or three all while sitting at my desk at work, taking in even more fuel for my dream world.

The Mediocre-Case Senario
With many things, except money, I often do not dread the worst-case scenario the most. I dread the mediocre scenario. This is because if the worst-case happens, I am pretty damn sure that I will not go do it again. I will rationalize all sorts of reasons for why that particular "worst" is definitely not going to enter into my paradigm ever again, and I will build coping mechanisms (i.e. habits) that ward against these defined "worsts".
But after having gone through a mediocre scenario, the passion derived from the "worst" escapes me. I have no real reason to repeat and no real reason not to repeat.
It is like a bad date, I know I will never see and/or date the guy again because of the disastrous events and feelings associated with the date, but at least I have a funny, drama filled story to tell. But a mediocre date, oh god, I could be doomed to repeat the same vanilla over and over in my efforts to force some value or at least a tickle of a feeling of excitement. But that is just one example.
The point is not to avoid the mediocre, it is to know what mediocre means and to learn from it sooner, rather than later. Identifying the mediocre makes the exciting shine.
It is 3am and I'm wide awake because I passed out at 7 or 8 when I got home from drinking. I've been laying in bed 1) thinking about how comfortable it is and 2) wondering what actually excites me in life. There are so many things I do that really are only interesting because they get me moving and out of my room. But do I actually enjoy it? that is a very different question, usually my response is, "I had a good time," which is true but most of the time my head is still in another place or wishes to be for some reason.
It is that feeling of being 100% absorbed in something that I actually crave; that is difficult to obtain with other people around. Often I think that the people I'm hanging out with would enjoy themselves more if they were hanging out with someone else who is more entertaining. Maybe I'm just bored with myself sometimes so I assume others must be as well. Actually it is really a compatibility issue because more overtly social individuals need to be entertained to have a good time. They also need you to be over the top in explaining situations you enjoyed otherwise they don't see the fun in it and respond with suspicion.
I think it is my knowledge of these overly social types that makes me wonder if I could have had a better time. I just see how other people "enjoy" situations more than I did and I wonder what I missed. But it isn't that I didn't have a good time, it is just that I didn't have a good enough time. I think someone would have enjoyed themselves more with different company because I am not always that interested in social activities unless I'm extremely interested in hanging out with the parties involved.
I'm rather apathetic towards most people, like always have one foot on the ground and take it all with a grain of salt. I just don't really want to be connected to anyone (aside from family) any more than I already are. Some sort of freedom from being defined by my friends. I don't really know what to do about it, or if anything needs doing. School is good because it gives me a reason to hang out with people and a base for something to talk about.
The worst is feeling alone when people are around, because when I feel alone, I want to go be alone and that is often difficult when someone is relying on you to maintain your attention to the fact that they are there with you in the moment. Like if driving in the car and the other person wants to talk and I'm just zoned out, then I have to deal with the other person not being satisfied with my entertainment skills, when I really would rather be relaxing somewhere or practicing a new dance move in my room.
The problem with relationships is that I usually wonder why the person is hanging out with me and I usually don't have a very good answer to that question. Just killing time, I guess, with something to do and someone to do something with. I think I'm just lacking adventurous excitement and the feelings involved. It all comes back to me being immobilized until I finish school. It is a personal choice and these are just the side effects of that choice that I must bear to accomplish my goal. I'm almost a year in and I have a year left, so it should go by fast. I have a lot of things to look forward to this summer. That dance workshop in July up in LA, getting these summer school classes out of the way, so the future doesn't seem so grim, neither really does the present. There is just some left over dread from the past in dealing with people that comes up after certain interactions that makes me feel unsure of myself, but in so many other ways, I'm fine. I just wish I could go back to sleep.
Wanting More as Missing Something
The most lingering, absent objects in life seem to be those that I did not get enough of. For whatever reason I was inhibited from reaching some sort of full potential, which my imagination deemed possible, and I am left with an internal confliction which refuses to be laid to rest. At one end I am at the height of happiness with my previous experiences and seek to push them further (either in my mind or in real life). At the other end is the whole realization of why it is best that it hasn't continued to manifest in this perpetual present time.
These two poles of the matter alternate, both with completely legitimate arguments on each side. When the happiness over the thought dominates, I am totally convinced by its outright charms… but slowly the happiness fades into more sobering thoughts….that only confuse the matter in my mind. The sobering thoughts seem so realistic and based on facts that, if true, tell me that my once perceived happiness over the matter is, well, not obtainable or not really possible. I tell myself that I must forget about it because too much is at risk of going wrong if I pursue what I have been missing. This logic, painstakingly, leads me to simply carry on with my current involvements of day-to-day living, with my hands in the air because I don't know which side of myself is to be believed. Both ideas are extreme to the point where the only middle ground is to do nothing and wait and see what happens. If nothing happens I will be free of both sides…. if something does, I will have to fully face both of them…. I'm stuck in a binary box where the answer is either accept or reject and I have a binary opinion on both of those outcomes.
Words can mean so many things… even nothing. The driving force isn't the words because they are only taken as harshly or lightly as the listener chooses to perceive them. The fact that they were perceived a certain way is what is most telling of intentions. If you want an answer you can find it whenever you like, but it can only be based upon what you already know bent to the limits of your imagination. The difficulty is gauging how far beyond normal the imagination has taken the story and what purpose does it serve to take a few random thoughts to mean such extreme possibilities?
I'm just disturbed by discomforting news and I didn't want to believe it, because I was tired of being crushed.
Figuring Out Which of My Beliefs are False
I have recently come across a few beliefs of mine that I have discovered to be false. Meaning something about life which I believed to be true isn't and/or something about life I believed to be untrue actually is true. Also, I have come across something which I knew to be true, but didn't want to believe it was true, so I assumed it couldn't be true and tried to act upon principals which were erroneous in the end because it indeed is true. or so I have learned.
Often I disregard a harsh reality because the harshness is exposed only in infrequent and inconsequential instances. Meaning that I can continue on for quite a long time with a certain intuitive itch left unscratched because the situation has not grown to a large enough proportion to initiate action on my part. Then, the clouds part, I look to the sky with my hands up, and say "I knew it all along."
Yes I am still learning, many things. At no point in life can I say that everything I have been learning has been learned and that I can start out fresh with a new set of things to learn. The more experience I accumulate, the more I manipulate them together in my tool box for use in current affairs. Which bothers me because some situations cannot be forgotten because of their shinning characteristics which will most definitely come in handy later, if not for myself specifically, but for someone else seeking help.
Compound Stress and What Helps Me Cope With It
I wrote this little diddy while waiting for my car's oil service to finish up earlier today:
"I've realized that, indeed, there are things that I am stressed about, but in comparison to how many things that I used to be stressed about a few years ago (School, work, goals, money, meeting my ex's requests, drinking, etc.), I'm practically stress free. Being unable to find a proper job leaves me plenty of time all day to hang out with my friends and family and get things done and organized around the house combine that with not having to manage a relationship (which always took up so much of my ME time before my Australia adventure) and I am allowed to do the things I like and as a result my natural tendency to overload myself and put myself aside is inhibited by this circumstance.
I now focus all that energy from those past stressful happenings to tasks that greatly increase my own contentment and the happiness of others around me (at least as best I can) and so when a stressor (like loosing my Lula Bula so suddenly) pops up, it is not compounded with many other stresses of life so coping with stress is not only clear, but bearable – almost to the point that I feel guilty for not exhibiting the same level of emotionally intense responses that I typically had in the past (when I had a multitude of stressors on my plate). In fact, I shouldn't feel guilty at all, I should enjoy that I now know what it feels like to face storm rolling through life from a healthy prospective."
Further to that, I have noticed that many people don't get to this level of relaxation I feel right now (Yoga 3 times a week could be part of it….). I've noticed that a few people I've met are in a cycle of reacting to stress instead of managing it. That type of situation causes them to do all sorts of things except fully enjoy themselves. For example, if one seems to have little control over many aspects of life, this can cause long term stress to remain constant to the extent that this stress level is thought to be normal. Knowing no different (I used to be this way) one may try to control the few small aspects of life that one feels are malleable and shape them to personal whims and ideas of how it should be in a perfect world. This is an illusion because you can't control people and thus the compounding stress gets even worse.
In reality, in some way, that same energy can be used to build oneself into the person one wants to be. That would mean letting a lot of familiar emotions and reliabilities go. Taking such a leap of faith not to mention using a lot of will power can be done in a way that actually nothing is lost except the stress, that is, only if (based on my logic) such a task is approached properly and before one is pushed over one's burn-out limit.
So I have gone through my nutritional healing book (I've been diving into it a lot lately…) to list some stress coping suggestions that work for me and may be able to help anyone who actually reads these notes of mine:
*****Monitor your internal conversations. The way we talk to ourselves has a lot to do with how we feel about ourselves and our environment.
*****Avoid processed foods and all foods that create stress on the system, such as artificial sweeteners, carbonated soft drinks, chocolate, eggs, fried foods, junk foods, pork, red meat, sugar, chips and similar snack foods.
*****Do not repress or deny your emotions. This only compounds stress. Admit your feelings and accept them. Keeping strong feelings bottled up only causes them to resurfaces later as illness (I suggest thinking about this statement very, very carefully so see what an impact this may have had on you in the past).
*****Don't be afraid to cry. Learning to cry can help you manage stress. Crying can relieve anxiety and lets loose bottled-up emotions.
*****Try not to take life too seriously. Learn to laugh.

Glad you 'splained that to me. If that hood was from a '52 it would have a round indicator on that hood stripe.
We had a '52 F-3 with the 5 Star Extra trim. It still amazes me that Dad paid the extra, but that may have been the only way he could buy that truck at that time.
I wrecked it in April of 1953 - not bad, but I wasn't supposed to be driving it (no license yet). All Dad said was, "Well, I was going to buy you a new Ford Hardtop when you turned 16, but you just saved me $2,300 (estimated, because I don't remember exactly).
Was never mentioned again.

The abuse of reductionism to mechanize altruism in a phony theory of the evolution of ethics, with suspicions this is a concealed economic ideology at work is a major black mark against science. It is puzzling that scientists allow this to discredit the basis of their work….
the question of human origins is a great mystery, and the dogmatic application of Darwinian theory to its study has produced a great confusion. The reductionist character of Darwinism has been made to work by postulating a creature of fiction, the survivor of the 'survival of the fittest' scenario, a kind of Social Darwinist untermench, also an expert, apparently, at economics of the capitalist brand. This creature has been stripped of his humanity and made into a mechanical object with no soul, free will, ethical agency, or much in the way of consciousness. Especially problematic are tendencies toward altruism. In a market economy, greed is good. A theory to make this plausible is an object of supply and demand. As the saying goes, it's the economy, stupid.

The Death Note is discovered by Light Yagami, and Ryuk follows him around for much of the series to see how Light uses it. According to Shinigami rules, the Shinigami whose notebook is used by a human will follow them around until the human dies or gives up the notebook. Only the Shinigami who possesses the owner can kill them. Ryuk has a fairly humanoid appearance. His skin is a light gray, almost blue-ish color, his limbs are abnormally long and he has bulging yellow eyes with black (red at times in the anime) irises. He is voiced by Shidō Nakamura in the Japanese anime and live-action adaptations, while Brian Drummond voices him in the English dub.
Creation and ConceptionEdit
Tsugumi Ohba said that he always mentioned Apples in the thumbnails because he wished to use "the dying message that Shinigami only eat Apples." Therefore, he simply needed Ryuk to hold Apples and that "there's no other reason." Ohba also said that he specifically chose Apples because the red "goes well" with Ryuk's black body and that the apples "fit well" with Ryuk's "big" mouth. When Takeshi Obata informed Ohba that Apples held religious and psychological significance and that a person could "read a lot" into their inclusion and its Symbolism. When he assumed that was the reason why Ohba included the apples, Ohba said that he did not "think about that at all" and that he merely believes that "apples are cool... that's it. (laughs)" Ohba added that he felt including aspects that could become later plot points was beneficial, and the apples were used as a point when Light asked Ryuk to search for the cameras in exchange for Apples.
Obata said that he encountered difficulty in creating Ryuk. He said that his original idea of Ryuk consisted of Ryuk looking like a "young man similar to Light" with black hair and wings. Obata said that he had the idea of Shinigami looking like "attractive rock stars." Obata felt that if Ryuk appeared to be more attractive than Light he would "appear to be the main character" and "things wouldn't work as well." Obata said that he decided to erase the previous design and use the final design when his editor told him that Ryuk did not have to appear to be human. Obata said that he liked the "monster-like" appearance and added that, with his face, "you can never really tell what he is thinking." Obata said that he encountered difficulty while drawing Ryuk in the pilot chapter since he did not "have a good handle" on the "bone structure of his face." Obata said that during serialization he became "so used" to the underlying structure that he could visualize it. Obata describes Ryuk's face as appearing different between the pilot chapter and the actual Death Note series. In How to Read 13 Obata thought of an idea involving Ryuk's face being a mask, and under the mask would be an "attractive" face.
When designing Ryuk's Death Note, Obata thought about the appearance of Ryuk's handwriting. Ryuk wrote the words "Death Note" on the cover of his own notebook, and when he took possession of Sidoh's book he wrote the same words on the front cover.
Tom S. Pepirium of IGN said that "Brian Drummond IS Ryuk." Pepirium described Drummond's voice as "excellent" and that this makes it "hilarious" to watch "Ryuk and his never-ending grin giggle at the events he put into motion."

Rally to Stop AB 2145: PG&E's Attack on Local Clean energy & Jobs!
CCA's are the way for communities to choose their own energy suppliers and improve the amount of clean renewable energy. THe Big Utility Monopoly bill, AB2145 crushes this competition to PG&E and other monster utilities!
Just as Alameda County is taking steps to establish a community-based clean energy program in the East Bay, PG&E is using ratepayer funds to push AB 2145, a bill that would gut the Community Choice energy law and prevent the East Bay from moving forward with greener, cheaper, local electricity generation. Vote NO on AB 2145
We call on PG&E to stop using our ratepayer dollars to strengthen its monopoly by gutting the Community Choice energy law.

Preview Abstract Abstract
A.K. Davis
(Laboratory for Laser Energetics, U. of Rochester)
Direct-drive inertial confinement fusion requires multiple overlapping laser beams that can drive the cross-beam energy transfer (CBET) instability. This instability is of primary concern because it can reduce the laser energy coupling and can affect the symmetry in a polar-direct-drive (PDD) configuration. An experiment was designed to determine the CBET growth by measuring the angularly resolved mass ablation rate and ablation-front trajectory in a PDD configuration. Adding a thin layer of Si over a CH shell generates two peaks in x-ray self-emission images that are measured with a time-resolved pinhole imager. The inner peak is related to the position of the ablation front and the outer peak corresponds to the position of the interface of the two layers in the plasma. The emergence of the second peak is used to measure the time for the laser to burn through the outer layer, giving the average mass ablation rate of the material. The mass ablation rate was measured by varying the thickness of the outer silicon layer. The shell trajectory and mass ablation rate measured in PDD on the pole, where CBET has little effect, were compared with simulations to validate the electron thermal-transport model. Excellent agreement was obtained when using a 2-D nonlocal transport model, and these observables could not be reproduced with flux-limited models. A similar comparison was performed on the equator where the CBET growth is large. Without the CBET model, the shell velocity and mass ablation rate were significantly overestimated by the simulation. Adding the CBET model reduced the drive on the equator and reproduced the experimental results. This material is based upon work supported by the Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration under Award Number DE-NA0001944. In collaboration with, D. Cao, D. T. Michel, M. Hohenberger, R. Epstein, V. N. Goncharov, S. X. Hu, I. V. Igumenshchev, J. A. Marozas, D. D. Meyerhofer, P. B. Radha, S. P. Regan, T. C. Sangster, and D. H.

another great bookThis was another great book by Cara McKenna. If it had been another author, it might have been 5 stars, but I can't help rating authors relative to their other work (and I loved loved loved After Hours). Can I do 4.5 stars? Cara is so good at really exploring various sexual proclivities and here we get a submissive man with a rope fetish who has felt deeply ashamed of this his whole life. We get the woman who shows him that he is lovable not in spite of but along with his kinks. We get the hot sex, yes, but it's so much more than that - there is actual plot and character development, which is missing from so many other books in this genre.by ea on February 16, 2015

UnboundI loved both Merry and Rob as characters in this erotic romance. Especially Mercy having gone through so much and going on this trip. Finding out Rob's secret desires, rope and kinks, really was well written. Plus it's a love story.by Lauren on October 01, 2015

Money transfers abroad - Ministry for Foreign Affairs
Money transfers abroad
If you have run out of money abroad, you should first ask friends or relatives to transfer money into your bank account or a remittance abroad. Money can also be transferred from your own bank account to the Foreign Ministry's bank account. The mission can consider an 'undertaking to repay' agreement for your travel home only in exceptional circumstances.
You can ask a family member or friend in Finland to transfer money abroad via, for example, the following companies
The recipient of the payment must be able to verify their identity by means of an official ID (such as a passport) upon collecting the money.
There is no free consular transport home
If you are stranded and need funds for your travel back to Finland and you do not succeed to do so by the above means, the mission can arrange a sum of money (plus EUR 40 transaction fee) to be transferred from your account into the Ministry's account. The deposit can also be made by someone else you have named. The funds can be paid from the mission's till only after the transfer has taken place.
If you are staying abroad temporarily and in distress caused by crime, serious illness or any other similar reason and it is not possible to receive a deposit, the mission may in exceptional cases consider assistance against an 'undertaking to repay' agreement for travel home using the most affordable means of travel.
The assistance against an 'undertaking to repay' agreement is distrainable without a separate decision.

Today's Morning Brief is brought to you by the Government Relations Institute of Canada. Lunch & Learn: "Navigating the Innovation Agenda" with Mr. Greg Fergus, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development. Register Today!
Three Amigos to preach North American co-operation — Farage criticizes Trudeau for backing Remain during referendum campaign — Hajdu begins consultations on cyber violence — Environmental organizations wary of Parks Canada proposal — EU wants quickie divorce; Kerry urges Britain, EU to manage divorce responsibly — Scottish leader may try to block 'Brexit' — Clinton leads Trump, pair of polls show — Ontario woman becomes Iceland's first lady after husband wins presidential election — And finally, how to move to Canada
Good Monday morning to you.
To read your Morning Clippings, click here.
Against the backdrop of a Brexit and the subsequent economic ripple effects that are fanning out in every direction, it will be all sunny ways and talk of cooperation on this side of the pond when the Three Amigos get together this week. Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto arrives in Canada today for an official visit and President Barack Obama gets into town on Wednesday. Amid the talk of how North America can work together will be a discussion of ways to ensure that continues once Obama leaves office. CP's Mike Blanchfield has more. Yesterday Environment Minister Catherine McKenna told CTV that North Americans can expect their leaders to send a pro-free trade message during the summit.
This get together comes after eight months of intensification of the Canada-U.S. relationship, both substantively and socially, and after nine years of what was widely viewed as the bilateral low point of Stephen Harper's approach. For two amigos, this week brings a most welcome change of dynamics and one that former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney is lauding. For more, be sure to check out Janice Dickson's story online at noon.
As it turns out, what's coming out of Britain and aimed Justin Trudeau's way isn't all that sunny at the moment. Nigel Farage, leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party, said the prime minister was out of touch in backing British Prime Minister David Cameron in his bid to keep Britain in the EU. Farage also said Mark Carney may have to resign for not being impartial during the referendum campaign. The Globe and Mail's Paul Waldie reports. Bloomberg has more on whether the Bank of England governor will choose to stay or go.
Meanwhile, Britain's high commissioner Howard Drake is open to signing a free trade deal with Canada.
In other news, Status of Women Minister Patricia Hajdu is set to meet with the members of a cyber violence and online harassment advisory council — including men — for the first time today. She's convened as a sounding board while Status of Women Canada develops a federal strategy against gender-based violence, a key part of her mandate from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Online harassment could be included in that.
Environmental organizations want to put a stick in the spokes of a plan that would create a 107 kilometre bike trail along the iconic Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Banff. Parks Canada is preparing to go to the public with plans for the $66-million trail, but five environmental groups fear the project will damage crucial habitat and divert resources from conserving nature. CP's Bob Weber has that story.
Here and there:
- Defence Minister Harjit S. Sajjan will announce significant investments in infrastructure for the 5th Canadian Division Support Base (5 CDSB) Gagetown, New Brunswick.
- John McKay, parliamentary secretary to the defence minister, hosts a roundtable meeting with defence stakeholders in Montreal.
- Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto gives a speech alongside Premier Philippe Couillard in Quebec City, while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hosts a dinner for him in Toronto.
- Statistics Canada releases an article on hires and layoffs in Canada's economic regions: Experimental estimates, 2003 to 2013.
- Amnesty International holds a press conference to call for action on human rights ahead of the North American Leaders' Summit.
Still with the Brexit, now that British voters have made their intentions known, it's become apparent the European Union wants a quickie divorce, with senior EU politicians demanding over the weekend that the U.K. get on with the cutting of ties. Britain, however, seems to want time to think things over. Whatever the speed of separation, it isn't about to be an amicable divorce. "There is a certain urgency…so that we don't have a period of uncertainty, with financial consequences, political consequences," French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said.
Regret is also creeping in for some. A petition for a second referendum now has more than 1.6 million signatures. Given the political turmoil that's now in full swing, that's not all that surprising. Yesterday, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon vowed to protect Scotland against the "devastating" fallout of Brexit and threatened to block the move, while Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, a longtime critic of the EU, is dealing with an attempted coup from his own legislators.
Leading pro-Leave campaigner Boris Johnson says the UK will continue to "intensify" cooperation with the EU. The same EU he couldn't wait to see Britain walk away from?
Enter U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who's urging both sides to handle their divorce responsibly for the sake of global markets and citizens. He's set to visit London and Brussels today. Meanwhile, all of this has put German Chancellor Angela Merkel at centre stage as the EU seeks to preserve its unity and win back skeptical voters across the continent.
In the throes of it all, the British pound slipped once again when Asian markets opened today. Finance minister George Osborne is expected to make a statement early this morning in an attempt "to provide reassurance about financial and economic stability" before the London Stock Exchange reopens.
South of the border, a new pair of polls show Hillary Clinton is leading Donald Trump. Perhaps to celebrate, the democratic candidate made a surprise appearance at New York City's Pride parade yesterday.
In Iceland, voters have chosen a new president in Gudni Th. Johannesson, and in the process, the Nordic nation has gained a Canadian as its first lady — our own Eliza Reid.
Finally this morning, it's not surprising to hear that, like our neighbour's to the south fearing a Trump presidency, Britons are searching 'how to move to Canada' on Google. And forget keeping calm and carrying on: now you can panic.
Have yourself a dandy day.

Crowley Tugs Deliver Huge Olympus Platform
Four of Crowley Maritime Corp's ocean class tugboats , the 'Ocean Wind', 'Ocean Wave', 'Ocean Sky' and 'Ocean Sun', recently completed the successful delivery of the offshore oil production and drilling platform, Olympus, to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
The project was significant because it provided the first opportunity for all four of the company's new high-bollard-pull, ocean class tugboats to work together on any single job. The rig, owned by Royal Dutch Shell, is also considered the largest tension-leg platform ever to be developed for the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
The Crowley ocean class tugs worked together in both nearshore and offshore waters to relocate the 120,000-ton, 406-ft. tall tension-leg platform from Ingleside, Texas, 425 miles to its deepwater location in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
"These specialized tugboats have proven themselves as workhorses for our valued upstream energy customers and for companies and government entities needing long-range, high-capacity, ocean towing along with salvage and emergency response support," said Crowley's Todd Busch , senior vice president and general manager, technical services. "They are truly solidifying our standing as an industry leader in ocean towing, salvage and offshore marine support."
The Olympus, which was constructed in South Korea, features 24-slot drilling units and a deck large enough to process crude from a six-well subsea development on site. Outfitted with 15,000 psi-rated trees, the platform will concentrate on high-pressure reservoirs that range in depths ranging from 20,000 to 22,000 ft. The expectation is that the Olympus will produce and process 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day once operating at full capacity.

Jamie De LunaJamie is a teen that tries to not let things get to her, staying relatively cool-headed most of the time unless out of her element.
She hates bullies, and is not afraid to talk them down if necessary.
However she's not much of a fighter, which is something she will have to learn for her mission…
TaiTai is the leader of the Fenaur Warriors, who attempted to retire years ago but the deaths of the new leader and another member made him take the role once more.
He's usually seen as grumpy and stand-offish by others, but inside he's weary from many years of fighting and failures weighing on his shoulders.
He deeply cares for the other warriors, and also seems to be very close to Kopheru in particular…
Tai also has an older brother named Kai that lives in his own room away from the others, that he checks on every day due to being physically disabled and can't move on his own.

When childhood friends Jeffrey Pinkerton and Patrick Evans were released from jail, they both said they would change their ways.
Evans' mother said she doubted it. Pinkerton's girlfriend of seven years and the mother of his two children said she had faith that he would.

Gaston Bachelard Quotes About ReadingQuotes about: Reading
In order to dream so far, is it enough to read? Isn't it necessary to write? Write as in our schoolboy past, in those days when, as Bonnoure says, the letters wrote themselves one by one, either in their gibbosity or else in their pretentious elegance? In those days, spelling was a drama, our drama of culture at work in the interior of a word.
I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the word begin to move around. Stressed accents begin to invert. The word abandons its meaning like an overload which is too heavy and prevents dreaming. Then words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young. And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.
