Meromorphic Inner Functions and their Applications
MetadataShow full item record
In this dissertation we study an important class of functions in complex analysis, known as Meromorphic Inner Functions (MIF) and we exploit their properties to solve problems from mathematical physics. In the first part, we answer an old problem, first studied by Louis de Branges about a property of the derivative of MIFs on the real line. We use the theory of Clark measures to solve this problem with the aid of complex and harmonic analysis theory. In the second part, we study the spectral properties of the Schrödinger operator. Certain inverse spectral problems in this area can be translated into the language of complex analysis and we use the injectivity of Toeplitz operators to solve these problems.

October 29, 1942 – July 4, 1995
If television artist Bob Ross wasn't the nicest guy in the world then I want nothing to do with the world. Ross turned a love of painting and a lightning-fast technique known as "wet-on-wet" to soothe and entertain public television audiences for more than a decade. In 1983, the former U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant turned from the loud yelling of the military to the quiet encouragement of painting a "happy little" landscape in real time on PBS. His show, The Joy of Painting, was wildly popular due to the minimal tools required and oft-repeated techniques. But, of course, the main attraction was Ross' calming and eternally-optimistic demeanor and he became something of a pop-culture icon by the time his show went off the air in 1994. It was his health that forced the show to end. Ross died of lymphoma just a few months after his final show aired. He was 52.
Woodlawn Cemetery – Gotha, FL
Specific Location
Toward the back of the cemetery is a large statue featuring the Holy family in front of 3 arches, Bob is buried near the road in this section in front of this statue, just next to a tree.

Challenger Elementary School
Thief River Falls School District and ARI's working relationship spans over 25 years. Small renovation projects, closing and demolition of older schools, and roof replacements along with multiple remodeling were ongoing. With the community's support in passing a bond referendum in 2011, the District was ready to renovate their existing school to be more accommodating for the students and community.
Through a design process, ARI worked with the District on the addition and renovation at Challenger Elementary School.
The classrooms and accessory spaces were filled to capacity and the kindergarten classrooms were in areas too small to provide adequate teaching. As part of the solution, a kindergarten wing was constructed on to the existing building. Reconfiguration resulted in less congestion in traffic flow, better utilization of spaces, minimal unoccupied classrooms while bringing the entire building up to today's education standards.
In September of 2014, the District held an Open House and Dedication Ceremony to share and celebrate, with the entire school and community, a facility that everyone is proud of.

Brandi's career in publishing began in 2004 with a message on her answering machine from the editor of Kansas City Magazine: "I'm sorry to tell you that we've been bought out, and your internship no longer exists." One year away from an English degree at the University of Kansas, Brandi knew that the pathways to her dream job were limited, and she would have to create the outcome she wanted. So she ignored that message and went to the new leadership of the magazine in search of an internship they weren't offering. Her tenacity and drive earned her the position of KC Magazine's first intern, followed by a job offer six months before her graduation. There, she was a vital part of the magazine's rebranding and the launch of three more new titles.
She quickly gained a reputation for taking on the most challenging projects and finding creative solutions that move her team toward their goals faster and with greater success. She spent the next decade of her career building successful media brands and helping magazines reach new levels of excellence. Her work has been recognized by The James Beard Foundation, Editor & Publisher Magazine, FOLIO, MIN, New York Public Library, and The Tulsa Press Club.
Today, Brandi shares her experience and expertise with magazines that have great aspirations and the drive to reach and exceed them. Through her consulting services, she works with visionary owners and publishers to help them:
Brandi currently serves as the Editor in Chief of Culture Magazine and is the founder of Media Blast, a professional advancement festival for aspiring journalists and storytellers.

Entering into a long distance relationship (LDR) may be one of the best decisions of your life, but equally it may be one of the hardest choices you can make. I myself am currently in a LDR with my girlfriend, who has flown to Minnesota for 4 months so she can do Camp America. (She is literally over 4000 miles away, across the ocean and with a 6 hour time difference).
My girlfriend and I had been together for just under 4 months before she flew out to Minnesota. She had already had the trip planned before we met, so there was nothing I could do to change it. We had multiple arguments about it before she went away, but at the end of the day it is such a fantastic opportunity for her. Honestly, letting her go was the hardest thing I think I have ever done. I went to the airport with her mum, brother and sister to drop her off. That last hug I gave her with tears falling down my face and every inch of my body not wanting to let go, was the most heart breaking experience of my life. I kept telling myself that everything was going to be okay, that I wouldn't miss her too much and that everything would be fine.
I was pretty much wrong about everything. I miss her every single day, she's the first thought on my mind in the morning and the last thought on my mind before I go to sleep. Nothing has been fine since she's been away either. Unfortunately for me, my life has turned into a series of unfortunate events and everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong. The only person that I want to turn to is my girlfriend, but I can't. It is difficult, but I would never ever let her go because of that difficulty.
We have had numerous arguments over the silliest of things, whether it's not replying to a message, or not saying 'I love you' back… trust me these arguments are stupid! But at the same time, hearing her voice will make my heart race, and being able to see her on FaceTime, well that brings a smile to my face that takes hours to disappear. We are lucky enough to be able to talk daily, even if only a quick text. Despite that though, my girlfriend has sent letters home for me to read and keep (and cry over). I'm currently building her a shoebox of her favourite things to post out to her!
I guess the point of this blog post is to explain that although a LDR is incredibly hard and lacking the physical comfort your partner can give you, doesn't necessarily mean that an LDR isn't worth it. So many people will end a relationship when their partner has to leave for whatever reason, but I can assure you that maintaining a LDR is incredibly rewarding. Being able to count down the days until you see your partner, or writing them love letters, it keeps the spark and the romance alive. If you genuinely love your partner, then no matter how hard a LDR may be, I can assure you will be worth it in the end.

Book Review: 'Trust No One' by Linda Sue Park
"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." -- Romans 12:21 (NKJV)
Trust No One is without a doubt the most suspenseful and terrifying book in the series so far. Pressure is starting to take its toll on the desperate Cahills and their allies. This book would not be a good choice for someone who easily transfers reading into nightmares.
I thought that the plot developments were rewarding and the character development continued to be interesting. Where some of the books in the series seem like just another cliffhanger, Trust No One definitely advances the story in meaningful ways.
My interest in the series was increased by this book, and I'm very excited to read the next book, which is out now.
In the meantime, Trust No One!

Donald Coughanowr, Steven LeBlanc, "Process Systems Analysis and Control"

English | 2008 | ISBN: 007339789X | PDF | pages: 630 | 4.5 mb
Process Systems Analysis and Control, third edition retains the clarity of presentation for which this book is well known. It is an ideal teaching and learning tool for a semester-long undergraduate chemical engineering course in process dynamics and control. It avoids the encyclopedic approach of many other texts on this topic. Computer examples using MATLAB® and Simulink® have been introduced throughout the book to supplement and enhance standard hand-solved examples. These packages allow the easy construction of block diagrams and quick analysis of control concepts to enable the student to explore "what-if" type problems that would be much more difficult and time consuming by hand.

The government of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, commissioned Leonardo, in collaboration with Telecom Argentina, to install a new TETRA communications network for use by the Policía de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.GeoComm Hires Henderson
BearCom Buys 2 Texas NEXEDGE Companies
House Lawmakers Ask Companies for Information on Cellphone Location Data
Covering the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, which extends across more than 202 square kilometers, the new network will be based on digital IP technology and integrated with the Buenos Aires Police's existing network. In addition to the police, it will also be used by the city's emergency and security services; the metro, the largest underground system in Latin America; and other forms of transportation as a multiservice infrastructure for secure communications.
The metropolitan area of the Argentine capital has more than 13 million inhabitants and is the second-largest city in Latin America. The metropolis is also home to one of the major ports of the South American continent. The communications system used by the Buenos Aires police, and the "Subte" Metro line B is able to support around 2,000 users.
The previous contract was awarded in 2009 to a consortium, led by Telecom Argentina, of which Leonardo was a part. The new project includes the provision of a high-capacity infrastructure that will ensure secure communications between more than 15,000 users, including more than 50 base stations and related maintenance services for the next four years. The network will also cover the remaining five lines of the city's subway, a service that transports more than 1 million passengers daily. A command-and-control center will also be installed in the police headquarters. The new system will be operational by the end of 2017.
"Safety is a fundamental and universal need, so we are proud that our technology will be supporting the Buenos Aires Police in its mission to protect the people and their city," said Mauro Moretti, CEO and general manager of Leonardo. "This important acquisition sees Argentina join more than 50 countries around the world whose security forces rely on our secure communications systems to effectively manage operations in all those scenarios where service continuity and reliability are so crucial."

NEW! IRWIN ZIIZ ZW's 5th AVATAR PERFORMANCE VIDEO!
Above is a new avatar performance by Irwin ZiiZ ZW. If you cannot see the video embedded in this blog posting, then click this backup link.
Irwin ZiiZ ZW is an avatar performance artist-in-residence at Roland Quagmire III's Virtual Art-Mansion which exists in the Moove/Roomancer Community .
ZW is an alien from some unknown cyberdimension. This avatar performance is called "^^^TsemAMb - Terasem Ambitions" (2006)
This is ZW's 5th performance video-document so far and references such themes as: Transhumanism, The Post-Human, Terasem, virtual reality, body modification and Extropianism.
Some viewers interpreting this performance as an extension of Machinima rather than live performance might see a structural parallel between this performance video and Michael Snow's experimental film classic, "Wavelength" (1967).

A message from David Taylor:
"And on that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced. The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away." Nehemiah 12:43
On this week three years ago, a former Shandon College Ministry student spoke at Fall Retreat. He challenged us with Nehemiah 12:43. As we head to Fall Retreat this weekend, this verse is on my mind and in my heart. As a sophomore, Billy Judge wanted nothing more than to see our college ministry experience the joy of God and to tell of that joy, to tell of that God. I share in his fire and pray to this end now: that our rejoicing in God "could be heard far away."
In Nehemiah's time, the wall of the Jerusalem had been rebuilt. After a period of weakness, God's people had returned to a time of God's favor. Following his instruction and working together in his power, Israel had rebuilt the wall. The labor, the hours, the conflicts, the extra effort, and the teamwork had paid off. A community of God-followers had experienced success. It wasn't a time to boast in human achievement. It was a time to bless the builder of all good things.
This is where we are, Shandon College. We've had some great successes over the past year. We've returned from a time of weakness and loss. We've worked hard – for God – with each other. Let's bless the Lord for it! He is working and moving in our lives. It's obvious to me when I hear the rejoicing in 5 points on Sunday nights. It's obvious to me when we continue to have new students showing up at the front doors of the gym. It's obvious in your tweets, your carpooling, and your smiles. It's safe to say that "the sound of rejoicing could be heard far away." Let's keep on rejoicing and telling others about Jesus.

Intellectual Property
This blog will be fast, as I snatch a few minutes from the fiction story I'm concocting. There are multiple mysteries whose solutions I'm not sure about yet, nor if they can hang together. But what fun would an exercise like this be without the suggestion that the novel—well hung or a shreddy embarrassment—is obsolete? Last Sunday a panel assembled here to send the noble-but-dying thing off on an ice floe. Not everyone waved goodbye. The consummately gifted Myla Goldberg did not care if the novel was dead or if it no longer occupied the bull's eye section of the public conversation. She was writing novels. "There's alchemy in fiction between the writer and reader. The reader is changed, becomes sad by reading about sad events. The novel gets to draw on anything it wants to. The toolbox is unlimited." Her next book is due out this fall. Three surpassingly intelligent and talented male writers were also on the panel: Tom Bissell, Josh Tyree, and Morgan Meis. Several expressed concern that writers might be dedicating their time and ambition to literary forms not that many people care about anymore. They go to nonfiction, among other venues, to check out the ways we live now. How many fiction readers are enough? If you throw a party that not everyone tries to crash, can you still get down? Maybe the smartest people around are devising computer programs that learn, and motion sensing technology, and nanobots that swim in blood and detect illnesses before they materialize. But doesn't someone still have to mop up, giving form to tensions there are no answers or consolations for?
Speaking of mopping, maintenance of the Flux kitchen has improved. The table has been refinished, though the varnish wasn't entirely dry when it was hauled back inside and two containers placed on top embossed the texts: Support Bottom, advice it is useful to be reminded of. A fair number of penis people have lately been sighted wielding sponges and paper towels at strategic sites. I'm not saying you should come here and eat on the floor or anything.

This is the land of surf and turf. Of sunny outlooks and golden dispositions.
This is also the land of high prices, earthquakes and fire.
Here in SoCal, we don't talk much about hard times. About all the people who are struggling amidst the glitz of Hollywood and the glam of Huntington Beach. But we see them on the streets. We see sad faces in our communities, pained looks at the checkout line and worried brows at the bank. What if we could all, in our respective industries, offer up our services to help out just a little bit? I could format a resume, you could cook a meal. If we all tried to make a small difference, we could actually effect positive change in our community.
Remember when I introduced you to Zerorez SoCal? They're the ones who clean homes – including carpet, hardwood, tile, grout, natural stone and upholstery – in a truly GOOD way, using electrolyzed, oxidized water to strip away chemicals and residue. In working with them I've discovered that they have a program designed to do as much good as possible in the community. Called Minor Miracles, this initiative calls on their customers to submit a non-profit, church or community space in Southern California that could benefit from a free cleaning. The informal service provides a positive space for individuals to focus on well-being and feel uplifted by a kind act from another person.
Previous recipients have included veterans services, women's shelter providers, families who have overcome loss, homeless child centers and more. Do you know an organization in Orange County, Los Angeles County, Ventura County, Riverside County or San Bernadino County whose space and lives could be improved with the Zerorez Minor Miracle program? Submit them to this form for consideration by the Zerorez Team!
What minor miracles have you witnessed lately?

Day 25- What I would find in your bag?
Right now in my purse is:
My wallet, with no paper money, some coins, some receipts, the checkbook, some insurance cards for the kids, debit card, a credit card for Fashion Bug (which I've never used), Shoe Carnival BOGO card, Walmart gift card (that I think is empty, but is reloadable for 3 cents off a gallon of gas), drivers license, and an expired proof of insurance. (don't worry, the current one is in the vehicle) ;)
A flashlight, chapstick, and calculator. a couple of pens (can't be without those), a few paint chip cards, and that's it.
Pretty boring, huh?

Welcome to the Digiday Changemakers, 50 people who are making media and marketing more modern.
This is our first list, published in the new issue of Digiday magazine, which is part of the Digiday+ membership program. The idea behind Changemakers is to recognize those in media and marketing who are making change happen on a daily basis. We wanted to get beyond the same names and faces that appear on most lists.
Like any list, our criteria was not scientific. We relied on our reporting of change in media and marketing to find a diverse group of people focused on modernization. Importantly we did not simply emphasize tech, since we believe the modernization of media and marketing goes far beyond mastering digital techniques.
From the world of marketing, we are recognizing everyone from marketing executive at Adidas and GE, to the activists keeping brands woke, to fashion entrepreneurs.
In media, we are recognizing the product whiz at Quartz and The Washington Post; the head of BuzzFeed's blockbuster food spinoff Tasty; and the Teen Vogue writer who introduced us to gaslighting.
We tried to cast our list as far as our coverage. That's why you'll see names from Europe but not Asia. In time, we plan to make Changemakers more global. We are happy that our group is majority female, but we have more work to do, admittedly, on people of color.
We would love to hear your feedback. And please consider joining us at our Changemakers event on June 7 in New York City. All Digiday+ members are welcome to join us.
The post Introducing Digiday Changemakers, honoring those modernizing media and marketing appeared first on Digiday.

CHS Inc., the nation's leading farmer-owned cooperative and a global agriculture and energy business, recently announced that it will proceed with construction of a new fertilizer manufacturing plant at Spiritwood, N.D. "With this decision, CHS is taking an important, strategic step on behalf of its member-owners by ensuring them a reliable domestic supply of nitrogen fertilizers essential to help farmers raise healthy, profitable crops to feed a growing global population," said Carl Casale, CHS president and chief executive officer. The plant is expected to be fully operational sometime in the first half of 2018, and when complete will employ 160-180 people.

These officials also criticized President Donald Trump's talking about the strike beforehand.
The latest strike most likely didn't change anything on the battlefield in Syria, and it's hard to know how much of the chemical weapons stockpile it hit.
"If President Trump had ordered the strike only to show that the US responded to [Syrian President Bashar] Assad's use of chemical weapons, then that goal has been achieved," Israel's Ynetnews quoted a senior defense official as saying. "But if there was another objective — such as paralyzing the ability to launch chemical weapons or deterring Assad from using it again — it's doubtful any of these objectives have been met."
An intelligence official who talked to Ynetnews wasn't as forgiving.
"The statement of 'Mission Accomplished' and (the assertion) that Assad's ability to use chemical weapons has been fatally hit has no basis," the official said, most likely referring to a recent tweet from President Donald Trump.
Mission accomplished.
I do not doubt it. What a cool way to waste millions of dollars. Trumps a big old pussyRussia has claimed that it told the U.S. where in Syria it couldnt bomb ahead of last weeks airstrikes on the country. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said there was contact between the Kremlin and Washington before last weekends strikes by France, the U.K., and the U.S. and that the strikes avoided the red lines set out by Russia. Lavrov said: There were military leadership contacts, between generals, between our representatives and the coalition leadership. They were informed about where our red lines are, including red lines on the ground, geographically. And the results show that they did not cross these red lines. Around 105 missiles were launched in retaliation for a suspected chemical attack in the Syrian city of Douma on April 7 that killed more than 70 people.
Better to use up old munitions in some kind of show of force or display than to have to dismantle them as their "use by" date comes up. And yes, things like missiles and so on have an expiration date and shelf life, unlike most bombs and bullets.
I asked for neither your Opinion,

Frankenstein is full of pleasure as he recounts these scenes from his childhood, since they remain untainted by his recent misfortune. He can, however, see how his early scholarly endeavors foreshadow his eventual ruin.
At the age of thirteen, he becomes fascinated with the work of Cornelius Agrippa (a Roman alchemist who attempted to turn tin into gold and men into lions). His father tells him that the book is pure trash; Victor does not heed him, however, since his father does not explain why the book is trash. The system of "science" that Agrippa propounds has long since been proven false; Victor, unaware of this, avidly reads all of Agrippa's works. This foreshadows Vuctor's thirst for sceience mixed in with the supernatural.

Following the biting teacher crisis in North Eastern as a result of teachers boycotting the region, local academics have been trying to fill the void by volunteering to teach at schools.
It was the turn of Wajir Governor Abdihafidh Yarrow today as he took up chalks and taught at Wajir High School.
Yarrow who is an accountant by profession gave back to the school where he emerged the best in 1996 by teaching form four students business studies.
"I was a former student of this institution and I have a huge connection with it. This school is also a national school and I had to take some time out of my busy schedule to at least be here once in a week"
County Executive for Education Habiba Hussein appealed to county staff and other local academics to emulate the second in command of the county and also take up teaching on voluntary basis.
"I have started teaching Home science at Wajir girls and I expect other able personalities to take the onus and better our student's future" she said.
Her appeal was seconded by the Chief Officer, Education, Abdullahi Maalim who said that his department was currently coordinating voluntary teaching activities in the county and urged former teachers, trainers and the larger county and corporate staff to emulate the Deputy Governor.
The school's deputy principal Mr. Idle Haret expressed his gratitude on behalf of the students for the selfless services offered by the county leader.
"I am out of words to describe the Deputy Governor's service. He is the first one to do so and it has left all the school beaming. I want to thank him on behalf of the entire school" said Haret
The initiative comes as the Governor recently pledged the County will train 500 teachers to meet its educational needs.
North eastern Kenya has been hit by education crisis after Education Cabinet Secretary Professor Joseph Kaimenyi's comments last week that the schools in the area will be closed.
However, the assumption of teaching roles by stakeholders could aid the counties in revamping the education sector in the region.

Astronaut Senator John Glenn used Think Pad laptops on his spaceflight mission STS-95 in 1998.
Laptops used aboard the space shuttle and International Space Station feature safety and operational improvements for the weightless environment they must operate in.
Think Pads have received a somewhat cult following and a small but loyal fanbase throughout the years.
Think Pad laptops have been used in space and, by 2003, were the only laptops certified for use on the International Space Station.
The task of making a notebook was given to the Yamato Facility in Japan and it was led by Arimasa Naitoh, a Japanese man who joined IBM in the 1970s and is now dubbed the "father" of Think Pad.
In April 1992, IBM announced the first Think Pad tablet computer at a news conference.
In addition to giving it an innovative name, IBM marketed the Think Pad through imaginative activities such as early customer pilot programs, numerous pre-launch announcements, and an extensive loaner program designed to showcase the product's strengths and weaknesses.
NASA purchased more than 500 Think Pad 750 laptops for flight qualification, software development, and crew training.
The first Think Pad tablet, a Pen Point-based device formally known as the IBM 2521 Think Pad, was positioned as a developer's release.
The Think Pad tablet became available for purchase by the general public in October of the same year.
The first Think Pad notebook (700C) announced in 1992 was the first new product to emerge from the IBM "differentiated product personality" strategy resulting from a collaboration between Sapper and Tom Hardy, head of the corporate IBM Design Program.
Development of the 700C also involved a close working relationship between Sapper and Kazuhiko Yamazaki, lead notebook designer at IBM's Yamato Design Center in Japan and liaison between Sapper and Yamato engineering.
and the respective teams at IBM and later Lenovo, which included Yamazaki, Tom Takahashi, Sam Lucente and, since 1995, David Hill, Vice President of User Experience & Design, who leads and manages the design/user experience of Think Pad.

Counselor's Corner
It feels wonderful to be back at St. Hugo for another year! I don't think I realized how "hug deprived" I was over the summer until I saw some of the smiling faces of your kids at the book sale before school began! I was also able to meet a number of families that are new to St. Hugo at some of the events before the school year began, but I just want to make you aware, that as the school counselor at St. Hugo, I provide counseling to individuals and groups, on homework and studying tips, ADHD concerns, transition needs and a variety of emotional concerns. I would be happy to help your child with these and other concerns that are keeping him or her from being able to fully participate at school. You are welcome to stop in anytime and let me know how I can hep!
I will be starting up Project T.E.A.M. in the next few weeks for our 7th and 8th graders that can get up at the crack of dawn and join in on the action. I'll be coming into all the classrooms to describe the group to your 7th or 8th grader soon. We will also begin a weekly lunch group with the 5th grade students late in the fall.
My "Parenting Tip of the Month" answers the question, "What can parents do if a child is struggling in school?" First, I would suggest talking directly to the teacher. Students sometimes give parents a rather lopsided view of what is going on at school. Teachers are happy to address your concerns via email or you can set up a meeting with them either before or right after school. Teachers can help you figure out how to better support your child to help them meet the challenges they face in this strong academic environment.
Many parents are also wondering about the wisdom of using reward systems, competition and punishment. I personally love the use of reward systems. However, it is important to realize that they don't work for all kids. A good example is competition. The reality is, the only person motivated by competition is the person who thinks he has a chance of winning. Likewise, children that don't believe they are capable of ever achieving the reward will eventually totally give up. All reward systems are based on the concept that the child can do it, he simply just chooses not to.
Punishment tends to be a very ineffective way to motivate kids. I recently read the following quote from Richard Lavoie, who creates many PBS videos, "To take the child's favorite thing, whether it be a soccer ball or a skateboard, and take it away from him when he's bad, that's just poor human relations. Marriages break up over sex or money, and it's because one spouse takes the thing that the other spouse wants and uses it to manipulate that person: "I'll give it to you when you're good, and I won't when you're bad." Why would we think it works with kids?"
In general kids need compassion, but also consistent and structured discipline. It is really important that parents understand their child and listen to him, but at the end of the day, a parent is a parent and not a friend. Finally, I swear I'm not calling your adorable children dogs, but I think this quote from Cesar Milan works for kids too. He says, "Discipline isn't about showing a dog who's boss; it's about taking responsibility for a living creature you have brought into your world."
I hope you all have a wonderful and successful school year. Please stop by anytime!

This past year I submitted an entry into a contest to be featured in (or at least watch) a Superbowl ad being shot in Los Angeles. To enter the contest, I submitted a photo of a funny road sign along with a caption to fuelmyblog.com. Apparently this was enough to get me into the second round of the contest.
The next phase involved writing an essay as to why I wanted to win the contest. Then I had to encourage people to sign up with fuelmyblog.com and vote for my site. The one with the most votes would win the contest. Despite my best efforts, I didn't win, and the winner apparently was someone in Australia named Smartie.
Now it looks like Smartie is having difficulties actually getting the prize she won. After hearing nothing for several weeks, she started to get concerned. OK, perhaps "concerned" is the wrong word. Raging pissed-off. Yeah, that's better.
As a result, she's started a campaign and website that documents her email tag she's been having with the originators of the contest. They now claim that they don't have the money to even repay her for the cost of the passport she had to get and that the PR person they used to help drive interest and PR to the site has left the team of three that were running the contest
And now, one of the originators of the contest has started up a NEW contest for the Superbowl ad for next year.
Guess I dodged a bullet.
Read more about Smartie's drama at her website here.

Thanks for the link - yeah, pissed off and also refusing to be scammed and let this mob scam more people. My site is a big warning to stop anyone from giving them money because it will just disappear.
Timms is now sticking promotion for this crap on Digg, and someone (not me) linked to your post. :) Hopefully the word will continue to spread.

To a certain extent, I hope that Timms stuff gets to the front page. Sure he will get a lot of publicity, but so will you. (and us, of course)

It's my youngest granddaughter's birthday so I thought I would share the birthday card that I made for her.
The image used on this card is a favorite of mine from "A Day For Daisies". I colored the digital image by using colored pencils and blending the colors by using baby oil.
There are an assortment of dies used and all of them are from Spellbinders. My all time favorite embossing folder was used for the base.
Have a great day!

Crow and I are assuming the most recent Olympic Games have now ended and once again we've been shaking our heads. It's no secret the International Olympic Committee is riddled with elitism, arrogance, bribery and worse. With this in mind it becomes much more understandable that when a city is 'gifted' the 'opportunity' of the Olympics that the amount of money required to put on a good show for the world would be staggering.
Overspending on the Olympics can do real economic harm to national economies and has little impact on the quality of the competition. Montreal spent 30 years paying off its debt from hosting the 1976 Summer Olympics. Greece spent $16 billion on the 2004 games in Athens, piling up debts that contributed to the collapse of its economy six years later, even as Olympic venues rotted in disuse.
Russia has spent about $50 billion to build a ski resort from scratch in Sochi: not just trails and snow-making machines, but also roads, rail links, hotels, even a power plant. It's an amazing achievement, not least because the Winter Games are less than a third the size of the Summer Games, and London spent only about $14.5 billion in 2012.
Cost of Sochi games: $51 Billion dollars. Cost of putting the Curiosity Rover on Mars: $2.6 Billion.
Solution: put the Olympics on Olympus Mons.
Seriously, it's well past time to build permanent facilities for the Summer and Winter Games. Olympia in Greece, which hosted the games for almost 12 centuries from 776 BC, is often proposed for the Summer Games (the Greek government offered 1,250 acres near Olympia in 1980). The Winter Games could take place in Japan or, perhaps, Switzerland. At fixed locations, the investment in state-of-the-art facilities would make financial sense. The venues could be carved out on neutral soil, much like the United Nations in New York, and operated using revenue from tickets, TV rights and merchandise.
Whatever solution is used is less important than that enduring sites be chosen and that the selection game be stopped.
Maybe next time we'll talk about how much it costs to build five separate stadiums to host the World Cup.

Oh, we were saying this very thing while watching the closing ceremonies this morning!
Crow looks happy on his skis! Maybe Crow could head the committee for permanent sites - Greece of course, and one for the Winter Games (where there is still snow to be found).

- susan said...
Yes, Marja-Leena, it has all become far too much. It would make so much more sense for the games to be hosted some place where the facilities could be looked after and improved when necessary.
I'm sure Crow would be happy to volunteer his opinions :)

That's an amazing amount of money! I knew Russia had spent billions but... I've thought for a long time they should settle on the same places, otherwise it's just politics. And lots of money! This one was so boring I didn't watch them except the figure skating and that wasn't any good either. The coverage was abominable as well, excepting weir who at least entertains but...stopped working here so hitting publish QUICK!

Maybe back when they started the Olympics in the 'modern era' this would be possible. It's now gone way past the original purpose, a venue for the best 'amateur' athletes compete in an event. It's seen as a way to showcase your country, or political system, to prove yourself to the rest of the world.
What makes sense to us has little to do with how anything is done on a large scale. When was the last time that foreign or domestic policy was based on what would work? When was the last time that our decisions were based on what would work best for the majority, or not damage the minority?
Sorry to be the pesimist here, it's a great idea and logical. It would be rejected out of hand by the selection board because of other considerations.

Now I have no wish to say very much, in fact I'm only here to indicate I have read your submission. I think that perhaps the idea of placing the Winter Games on Olympus Mons comes closer to my ideas than any other expressed thus far. All right, let me out with it! Let's send the Olympics, (winter and summer games) and the World Football Cup, together with all the official governing bodies, the sporting drug pushers, trainers and above all the self-seeking, glory-hunting athletes themselves, to the other end of the cosmos. In that way we can take "one small step" at least away from the current idolisation of Youth, and all its offshoots.
Now I know I'm suggesting only a mild, interim measure; that's because I don't like extreme solutions. So the "giant step for mankind" will have to await its turn.

It's a shocking amount of money but kickbacks and chicanery are the major business practices in operation these days. The last Olympics I recall watching was the 1980 Winter Games in Lake Placid when the US team won the gold over Russia. That was fun but even then my watching had much to do with the fact I was recovering from pneumonia and had no strength to move.
See you later.

I don't expect anything (anywhere, anytime) to change just because Crow and I grumble, but the whole thing has become insane. The last time I read about that serious talk was happening in regard to permanent Olympic facilities was in a NYT article from 1984 about a bill submitted by then senator, Bill Bradley. Don't get me started about 'amateur' athletes. Farm boys and their horses don't get to appear in world class equine events.
Of course it would be rejected by all those entities that enjoy the power, prestige and money to be reaped from things staying exactly as they are.

- susan said...
It seems to me true Olympus Mons (or even Ganymede or Europa) would provide excellent sites for the winter games. Just imagine the luge tracks and ski jumps that could be had there with the significant difference in gravity. Maybe Mercury could host the Summer ones as it's certainly guaranteed to be hot.
The whole idea about watching top-notch 'healthy amateurs' in competition being the reason behind the games is revolting once you understand anything about the background you describe. I agree with you that somewhere beyond the solar system might be the best permanent location for the 'Games' after all.

I trust from this posting that Crow returned safely from Sochi. I was a bit worried that his flight permit not be quite right, but, in the end, no worries. The extravaganza in the middle of nowhere. That's the Sochi Olympic story. A huge waste of funds, desolation of land, forced movement of the locals. Slaughter of the feral Dogs. Maybe those Dogs will become a better symbol of the Olympics that the five inter-connected rings.
Canada didn't do to badly, for what that's worth (and I'm not really sure what it's worth). And in four years we do it all again.
Blessing and Bear hugs anyhow! Best regards to Crow.

History does suggest sporting mega events struggle to justify the enormous expense or worse still can leave large unsustainable liabilities. But this is avoidable given better planning to allow subsequent reinvigoration such as is evident in the precinct at Homebush from the Sydney Olympics, and the same applies to much earlier Olympic games held in Melbourne, still used every weekend. What applies to all construction is how are you going to use the infrastructure after the event? It needs to be easily convertible for other usages or scaled down to ensure ongoing frequent use by the public, regardless of where they are held,
There may be a good case say for a Greek Olympics Island with sustainable infrastructure as a future central place to stage such events but with less social or environmental pressures and costs but much more important is the subsequent practical use of the facilities when the mega events aren't on.
I think your kindly depicted Crow might like the idea of a Greek island, where all his feathered friends could fly in and get the best seats ahead of the crowd
Best wishes

Absolutely, it's avoidable as you say, Lindsay. It's wonderful that there have been some cities that have had great success with the facilities built originally for the Olympics. Barcelona, who hosted the games in 1992, is another example. Unfortunately, it's not the case for all and now that the games cost so much money it seems a horrible waste of resources that could be better used. There are already tremendous problems brewing in Rio in anticipation of the World Cup this summer and the Olympic games in 2016. It's all becoming far too much.
A Greek island sounds ideal, doesn't it? Surprisingly too, it also snows regularly in winter on the Olympic Mts in Northern Greece. Handy, that.
Crow asked me to tell you he's looking forward to donning his chiton for the new Greek Olympics.
Best wishes from us both.

Only recently, in Munich and Garmisch-Partenkirchen in a referendum the majority voted against bidding for Winter Olympics. Oh, and how disappointed even annoyed and disgusted were certain politicians and lobbyists.
I think the same happened in Norway.
Maybe, therein lies one reason that such events more and more are going to happen in China, Russia, Qatar etc., all of them famous for being beacons of democracy and incorruptibility.
. . . Just coming to think of . . . ah . . . might be the best just to wish the peace of the night. :) . . .

That's very interesting to know. A number of big sporting events the world over have come to be places where the rich and powerful can congregate in relative freedom. Why not have them happen in places where there's nobody who dares to complain?

Citadel Council
The Citadel Council is an executive committee in Mass Effect with considerable political power that operates from the Citadel. It is composed of one representative each from the Salarian Union, the Turian Hierarchy, the Asari Republics, and the human Systems Alliance. It is headquartered at the Citadel space station. The volus, elcor, and hanar have official embassies on the Citadel. The krogan had an embassy before the Krogan Rebellions, the quarians had an embassy before losing their homeworld and colonies to the geth, and the Batarian Hegemony had an embassy, but they withdrew because they were offended by the Council's attitude toward the practice of slavery.
The Citadel Council was founded shortly after the salarians and the asari made first contact. The turians were invited to join the Council after playing an instrumental role in ending the Krogan Rebellions. In 2183 the humans joined the Council after defending the Citadel from the Reaper Sovereign and a geth fleet.
The decision-making power of the Council is limited. It has command of a defensive fleet that protects the station and of Citadel Security (C-Sec), and the Council can appoint SPECTREs at its own discretion. Beyond these immediate powers, the Council members must usually consult their homeworld governments before making any major decisions.
