In hope, we often ask God for specific things – to get through a rough patch, for healing of a loved one, or to comfort others in mourning. These are all regular supplications we hear in prayer groups and what we regularly pray ourselves. Yet when we look at the Lord's Prayer, we read Jesus' words "thy will be done." This, from a man facing the excruciating death and humiliation of the cross.
We are to ask for confidence that God loves us even during our worst suffering, not that God grant our wishes over his plan.
A simple read of this passage would have us believe that we can warp reality and bend existence and time our way. That we can throw a mountain into the sea. As hard as this is to believe, the faithful must believe this is true (let me explain). What we must reject however is that God is proactively circumventing his authority for our whim. Trees already and by design wither. Mountains not only throw themselves into the sea, they emerge from it. This is what happens over time. The seas are to the mountains what deciduousness is to fig trees. Jesus is telling us that asking for things to happen that are according to God's design will indeed happen – but perhaps not with the timeliness we expect or want.
When we ask "in Jesus' name" we are asking for the logos (the word of God made flesh) to fulfill its purpose in our lives and for us to not resist it. Before Christ prays "thy will be done," he prays "lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil," a direct reference to when the devil tempted Christ in the desert to throw himself off a cliff so that God might save him (Matthew 4:1-11).
We are tempted to tempt God in prayer. "Please do this for me!" This is simply not how it works. Prayer is an act of submission to God's will. It is an acknowledgment of God's will in our lives and in this world, and an effort on our part to align with it. Prayer is not asking God for a hand but realizing that it is all in God's hands. The tree will wither, the mountain will return to the sea, and the evidence of things hoped, we will discover, is the acceptance of the substance and make up of our lives. How we accept that, however, is up to us. Resistance to God's plan for our lives is the root of all suffering.

Don't count on it!
Q: Is the English language growing or shrinking? And is the rate of evolution faster or slower than in the past? I'm a scientist, not a linguist, but I'm familiar with statistics and I'll take a swing at reading anything.
A: It's difficult to answer your questions precisely because nobody knows quite how to count all the words in English. They're literally countless. Here's how I explain the problem in my latest book, Origins of the Specious, written with my husband, Stewart Kellerman:
"Is 'sleep' one word or two (a noun as well as a verb)? Is "sleeps" yet another one (or two)? Does "sleepy" count as a separate word? And should we count the gazillion (give or take) scientific and medical and technological terms ('2,4,5-Trimethylbenzaldehyde,' for example) that only specialized dictionaries include, not to mention all the acronyms and abbreviations and texting wrds and so on? The lexicographers at Oxford University Press, publisher of the OED, think we probably have a quarter to three-quarters of a million English words, minus all those 2,4,5-Trimethyl-whatevers—way more than French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Dutch, and so on."
But back to your questions.
Is English growing? The linguist Mark Liberman wrote an interesting item about this on the Language Log website back in 2003. Liberman said it was "almost impossible" to count "in any useful way" the number of new words that enter English each year.
"Nevertheless," he added, "it's easy to come up with some specific numbers that are not completely devoid of interest."
One number is his estimate that the Oxford English Dictionary was adding about 2,500 to 3,000 new items a year. He said lexicographers were undoubtedly aware of other new words that didn't make it into dictionaries, but he doubted that the total number of new coinages or borrowings was more than 5,000 a year.
Is this rate of change faster or slower than in the past? Well, if 2,500 words were added to English each year since the early Anglo-Saxon era 1,500 years ago, we'd now have about 3.75 million words. However, the online OED – the granddaddy of English dictionaries – had "only" 616,500 main entries and derivative word forms as of 2005.
So, yes, we do now seem to be gaining words at a faster clip, though I suspect that the rate of increase has gone up and down over the years. I had a blog item earlier this year about the myth that English was about to reach – or had reached – a million words.
Another complication here is that we're losing as well as gaining words. But when is a rare word considered lost? Many terms listed in dictionaries as obscure or archaic are still occasionally used. Should we count them or not? H-m-m.
Over all, though, we seem to be gaining more words than we're losing, the linguist Morris Swadesh suggests in The Origin and Diversification of Language (1971), edited by Joel F. Sherzer.
"Since human cultures have tended to acquire more and more artifacts and concepts, one of the main directions of change in lexicon has been expansion," Swadesh writes. "In English, for example, dictionaries of the epoch of Beowulf list some thousands of meaningful items, or lexemes, as against hundreds of thousands today."
By comparison, A Dictionary of the English Language (1755), by Samuel Johnson, had nearly 43,000 words, and Noah Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language (1828) had 70,000 words.
I'm sorry that I can't be more precise, but this is a case where the math really is fuzzy.

These modules are a standard BT socket for dedicated telephone outlets.
The modern home is now more than a mere home. It doubles up occasionally as a cinema, concert hall, meeting venue and computer room etc.. Each of these functions brings with it its own unique requirements in terms of the provision of necessary services such as telephone or satellite sockets etc.
Even in recent memory designers and builders did not think beyond providing a perfunctory level of electrical switches, sockets and pendant light fittings in a new home. Nowadays, as well as providing an ever increasing number of these items, provision must be made for the myriad different electrical and electronic products which proliferate our homes.
Traditionally, products such as telephone and TV coaxial sockets etc. have all been supplied built into a standard size wall plate. The environment in today's office and home however requires a number of services to be provided to a specific work station or convenient access point. The most flexible and efficient means of doing this is the use of modules on a multiple aperture plate.


Alana Wallace Thinks "Beyond the Label"
p.s. Are you a fan of state support for the arts? Join the IAC on Facebook, at www.facebook.com/illinoisartscouncil.
Overview: Grants are available to not-for-profit Illinois organizations conducting arts programming of high artistic merit. Applications may be submitted for General Operating Support or Project Support. Colleges and universities, and organizations whose primary services are not arts-related, may only apply for costs related to public arts programming activities. Fiscal Year 2011 Program Grants support activities occurring between September 1, 2010 and August 31, 2011.
Deadline: Tuesday, April 20, 2010.
Illinois' 2009-2010 Poetry Out Loud State Finals took place on Thursday, March 18th, in Springfield's Hoogland Center for the Arts, and the Illinois Arts Council is pleased to announce that Annette Putnam has been named State Champion.
Putnam is a senior at Orion High School, located in Henry County. She recited "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning, "Do�a Josefina Counsels Do�a Concepc�on Before Entering Sears" by Maurice Kilwein Guevara, and "What For" by Garrett Hongo.
Carbondale Community High School senior Robert Ketter won runner-up, reciting "A Red, Red, Rose" by Robert Burns, "Advice to a Prophet" by Richard Wilbur, and "I Knew a Woman" by Theodore Roethke.
Nearly 5,000 students from 47 Illinois high schools participated in this year's Poetry Out Loud: National Recitation Contest, a free program created by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation to encourage youth to learn about great poetry through memorization and performance. The Illinois Arts Council implements Poetry Out Loud statewide in collaboration with seven regional partners.
To learn more about the Poetry Out Loud program in Illinois, or express your school's interest for 2010-2011, please contact Susan Dickson, Illinois Arts Council Director of Ethnic & Folk Arts, Literature, and Presenters, at susan.dickson@illinois.gov.
Alana Wallace founded Dance>Detour in 1995 to develop and promote artistic collaborations between artists with and without disabilities working together to explore dance movement as equals. Wallace contracted polio at the age of five, but always believed she was born to perform. She says the wheelchair is "a beautiful accessory" that affords her a unique opportunity to embrace and express dance.
Wallace recently starred in the first TV commercial in a national campaign for employing people with disabilities, called "Think Beyond the Label." We took the opportunity to ask her a few questions.
Wallace: I would describe dance as "movement expression that comes from the soul." Physically integrated dance involves collaborations that include dancers of varying abilities who explore movement possibilities together as EQUALS.
IAC: Who can be involved?
Wallace: Dance>Detour's philosophy is that "Everyone Can Dance," and that there is quality in all types of movement - far beyond typical perspectives and stereotypes that a dancer must be someone of a particular age with a certain type of body and/or uniform style of movement. In fact, ALL MOVEMENT IS VALID, even if it is only an eyelid blinking.
IAC: How does the public benefit when the State of Illinois supports Dance>Detour?
Wallace: The support that we receive from the Illinois Arts Council makes it possible for us to provide a wide range of program options which include main stage performances, lecture demonstrations, tailored workshops, and multi-level training for children and adults with varying abilities that otherwise could not be accomplished. Thus, we are able to provide the public-at-large with an opportunity to see that performers with disabilities EXIST and have significant contributions to make to the arts.
IAC: What does it mean to Think Beyond the Label?
Wallace: It means that "Labels don't tell the whole story." People go through life labeling each other: "the bald guy," "the girl in the wheelchair," etc. And as we know, labels can go from harmless to hurtful. So the clever message of the Think Beyond the Label commercial is: before you label someone, think twice about whether it truly pertains to their productivity in the workplace.
IAC: Where can people see you perform next?
Wallace: I will be appearing in an acting showcase of seven solo artists -- with and without disabilities -- on Wednesday, April 8, 2010, 8:00 pm, at Prop Theater (3502 N. Elston Avenue, Chicago, IL). Also, on April 14, 2010, Dance>Detour will be performing at Chicago State University at the Student Union Building (Rotunda Room, 9501 S. King Drive, Chicago, IL).

View Full Version : Pregnancy chiropractor?
Anyone know of a good one for pregnant women will bad backs?
Dr. Myers is fantastic. I saw him while pregnant with 2 of my boys.
I saw Dr. Michael Mackay across from Canadian Tire 6 times in the last month or so of pregnancy. He was recommended my the Midwives of Algoma to me, and he was FABULOUS. I was in agony and he fixed me up. I called him my new best friend. LOL He also got me in the first day I called him, within a couple of hours.
My middle guy sat on my cyatic nerve in my back and my legs and my left are would go numb, sooooo I had no choice but to go, and my family dr as well as my obgyn and the other one that worked in there office as well as many other people recomended DR Anne Liz simpson. and yes she is a "DR" she actually with in 4 appts moved him off the nerve and turned him!!! with out pain in the process, and shes even got a special bed for prego mommys!!!!!! so you can lay on your stomach!!
I go to the chiropractor all the time although I am not pregnant and I pay $24.00 so 10 doesn't sound unreasonable. I don't know if my chiropractor treats pregnant women but Grace Tridicio (SP?) on Queen Street treats pregnant women my cousin goes to her and loves her.
Most chiropractors were $10 per visit until it was taken off OHIP. Now an appointment runs anywhere from $20-$25, maybe more for someone with a doctorate.
Thought you had to have your doctorate to practice chiropractic.
Sorry, you're right. I meant a PHD. I think that's right, anyway.

A feud with Roger Federer and claims of 'blackmail': The parents behind Novak Djokovic.
The sporting world is still reeling over the case of Novak Djokovic and his visa debacle that has sparked fierce debate in not only Australia, but across the world.
As of late, the World No.1 has been the source of polarising opinions when it comes to his views on vaccination and his questionable actions.
But also under the microscope are the tennis player's parents: Dijana and Srdjan Djokovic.
Making headlines are their claims that their son has been a victim of "terrorism and torture", not to mention their long-running feud with Roger Federer.
Here's everything we know.
Watch: Djokovic family shuts down media conference after probing question. Post continues below.
The "terrorism and brutal human rights violations of the world's best tennis player": according to Srdjan Djokovic.
Speaking on Serbian television in late November 2021, Srdjan referred to Australia's vaccination requirements for all attending the Australian Open 2022 as "blackmail".
So considering what has unfolded in the case of Djokovic's visa, his parents' reaction isn't surprising.
Image: Getty. During the recent rallies in Serbia, Srdjan shouted to the crowd: "I call on all Australians and the whole world to speak out against terrorism and the brutal human rights violations of the world's best tennis player."

Meanwhile, some questionable and morally unjust violations were actually occurring down the corridor from Novak Djokovic. While Djokovic's stay is only fleeting, the sentence for the others left behind in that building has no end date.

— Mehdi Ali (@MehdiAli98) January 7, 2022
Srdjan's claims continue:
In a speech delivered to Serbian media this week, Srdjan referred to Prime Minister Scott Morrison as "a dictator" and called on Queen Elizabeth to intervene in the "human rights violation" of his son.
"Australia has become a dystopia, a mockery of the free world, they treat Novak Djokovic, my son, your world champion, as a terrorist in Guantanamo Bay," Djokovic's father said.
"The whole world can now see a fake democracy led by one Scott. I call on all Australians and the whole world to raise their voice against the terrorism and brutal human rights violations of the world's best tennis player."
He finished: "My son took the cross to go down in history as Spartacus standing on the last line of defence of freedom."

"Strained relations" with Serbian authorities.
Given the involvement of the Serbian government in Djokovic's visa case, some may be surprised to hear that not all has been peachy between the Djokovic parents and their country's authorities.
According to The Telegraph, there have been "arguments" between the Serbian Tennis Federation and Djokovic's team, aka his family and those close to him, over "previous requests for government support in their tennis plans".
Simply put, it's alleged Djokovic's team have asked the Serbian government for more financial assistance in the World No.1's tennis pursuits: despite him earning over AU$200 million in career prize money.
Srdjan Djokovic's feud with Roger Federer.
Image: Getty. For decades now there has been a rift between not only Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, but also Srdjan Djokovic and Federer.
The start of the 'feud' dates back to the early 2000s, when Srdjan called out Federer for criticising Djokovic who had frequently stopped their tennis match, saying he needed medical treatment for a sinus problem.
In response to Federer's criticism, Srdjan suggested Federer is "a great player but not a good person".
Ever since, there has been boiling tension between the two players and their respective teams.
Listen to Mamamia Out Loud: In this episode, the ladies discuss the men's world number one tennis player, Novak Djokovic. Here's why Djokovic is making Mia "pufferfish". Post continues after audio.
Srdjan also recently made the brazen claim that no other tennis player could outplay or outperform his son, suggesting Djokovic only "allows his opponent to beat him" due to his unmatched ability.
In the 2021 interview, Srdjan said: "Novak is already the best of all time. He is the best and everything in the world of tennis depends on him. He can lose, but not because his opponent outplayed him, but because he allowed his opponent to beat him."
Image: Getty. And rather than comparing Djokovic to other incredible tennis players, such as Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal (and Roger Federer of course), Srdjan suggested his son should only be compared to sporting legends like Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan, who are more his calibre.
Some Serbians consider Dijana Djokovic to be the 'Virgin Mary'.
In a museum in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, hangs a mosaic made by artist Jovan Kentera. The mosaic depicts Dijana Djokovic as the Virgin Mary.
Speaking about his reasoning behind the artwork, Kentera said: "Dijana is the mother of the new era, one of the most important Serbs. She has created and raised such a man, who is the pride of all of us, but also of people around the world. She is responsible for his existence, and for me, Dijana is a saint."
Dijana Djokovic's claim her son is "the most healthy guy in the world": despite his controversial views on vaccination.
Now to round it all off, on Wednesday morning Dijana claimed her son "didn't know" he was COVID-positive when he was photographed at public events in mid-December. That is despite court documents revealing Djokovic had tested positive on a PCR test: a test he would surely remember doing.
Speaking with Sunrise, Dijana also spoke about her son's controversial stance on vaccination.
"I don't know what the problem is if he doesn't want to get vaccinated: that is his choice," she said. "Each person on this world has the opportunity to make this choice, this is like human rights. He is 34. He has his own philosophy on life. You cannot pursue or pressure him."
"He didn't know because when he realised he was positive then he go to isolation"
Novak Djokovic's mum Dijana claims the tennis champion wasn't aware he was infected with COVID-19 when he was photographed out and about last month. pic.twitter.com/qi3SpiOlqn
— Sunrise (@sunriseon7) January 11, 2022
Dijana added that her son is "the most healthy guy in the world."
She added that Novak is "the most healthy guy in the world" and does "everything to take care of his body to stay healthy".
"I don't understand this law that only if you're vaccinated you can play. It's not that I'm against vaccination, of course I'm not, but if you're vaccinated, it's not that you're protected from the coronavirus. Lots of people who have two or three vaccines get ill."
Srdjan also defended his son's "exclusive and personal right" to be vaccinated or not, suggesting on Serbian television even he did not know if Djokovic had received the jab.
Ultimately, the case of Djokovic's visa continues.
Immigration Minister Alex Hawke is weighing up whether to use his discretionary powers to again cancel the tennis player's visa, with a decision expected this week.
Chances are, the Djokovic parents won't be too impressed.

I almost feel sorry for Novak, Ive never seen stage parents like these before.

@cat Definitely. Only other I can think of is a former top female player's father... Dokic. What an amazing woman she is, also a tennis commentator.

@cat I dunno, I'm seeing shades of Damir Dokic here.
cat 9 days ago
@rush I think I must have been too young to know about him, but a quick google makes me think theres even more reason to feel bad for Novak.
It's quite a contrast to the new film about Richard William's dedication to his daughters.
jodster73 10 days ago
With all due respect, Federer is criticised by Novak's parents as not a good person. So, what are their non-biased opinions of their own son, lying big time about travel prior to entering Australia. In my view, he is not of good character

Sudan's government, rebels agree on roadmap for peace
Sudanese officials, rebels and diplomats react after signing the initial agreement on a roadmap for peace talks in Juba, South Sudan, September 11, 2019. (Reuters)
The Associated Press, Cairo Thursday, 12 September 2019
Sudan's newly appointed government and rebel leaders agreed Wednesday on a roadmap aimed at ending war in the country by year end, following the military's ouster of autocratic President Omar al-Bashir in April.
The two sides signed an initial deal after three days of negotiations in Juba, capital of neighboring South Sudan.
Sudan has been convulsed by rebellions in its far-flung provinces for decades, resulting in tens of thousands of people being killed.
Fighting in the western Darfur province has largely died down in recent years, but rebels and bandits are still active there as well as in the southern provinces of Blue Nile and South Kordofan.
The country's main rebel groups have observed a cease-fire since al-Bashir's overthrow in solidarity with the protest movement that mounted weeks of mass demonstrations before his ouster.
The power-sharing agreement between the military and the pro-democracy movement calls for the new government to make peace with rebel groups within six months. Talks are supposed to begin Oct. 14, with the goal of reaching a final peace deal within two months, according to the initial agreement, a copy of which obtained by The Associated Press.
"Time of war is over for ever," Gen. Mohammed Hamadan Dagalo, a member of the joint military-civilian sovereign council, said Wednesday.
Dagalo, better known as Hemedti, signed the initial agreement on behalf of the government. He is the leader of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which grew out of the notorious Janjaweed militias.
The two sides agreed on trust building measures, including the release of all war prisoners. The military council that assumed power after al-Bashir's ouster has released dozens of war prisoners in the past weeks.
The makeup of a new legislative body and the appointment of regional governors would also be delayed until a deal is reached, the initial agreement said.
The rebels include the Sudan Revolutionary Front, which is an alliance of Darfur rebel groups. It is part of the pro-democracy movement.
Another rebel group is the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North, which is active in South Kordofan and Blue Nile.
The government says achieving peace with the armed groups is key to its program to overhaul the Sudan's battered economy, contending that would allow a reduction in military spending, which takes up to 80% of the budget.

Montenegro Energy/Utilities
Montenegro's EPCG Brings Forward Deadline for Procurement of 817,080 MWh of Electricity for 2010
October 22 (SeeNews) - Montenegrin power monopoly Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG) said it has brought forward to October 28 the deadline for accepting offers for the procurement of 817,080 megawatthours (MWh) of electricity in 2010.
EPCG said in a statement it changed the deadline, initially set on November 4.
The utility said earlier this month it has earmarked 57.4 million euro ($86 million) for the purchase which will be divided into 16 lots.
"A bidder may submit a bid for one or more than one lot or the whole amount of electricity. […] Within each of the lots the bidder may submit a bid for delivery of electricity of a 10 MW minimum power," EPCG said.
Montenegro, with an installed generation capacity of 868 MW, suffers constant power shortages and increases electricity imports every year. Almost two-thirds of its electricity output is produced by two big hydro power plants, Perucica and Piva, and around one-third is contributed by its sole thermal power plant Pljevlja.

Michaela Walsh pulls on the medal of gold medallist Skye Nicolson.
Aussie in Games boxing 'robbery'
by Tyson Otto
15th Apr 2018 5:45 AM
CONTROVERSY has exploded in the women's 57kg boxing final with Aussie star Skye Nicolson awarded the gold medal in a split judges decision.
The 22-year-old sensation collected her gold medal in an incredibly uncomfortable medal presentation ceremony which left her opponent Michaela Walsh visibly "distressed".
The Northern Ireland fighter was devastated as she left the ring after the split judges decision had been announced.
In an incredibly even fight where both fighters struggled to land any meaningful blows across the three rounds, three of the five judges handed the fight to the Aussie 29-28 on their scorecards. Two judged handed the fight to Walsh, believing she had done enough to win two of the rounds.
It was a scene of pure euphoria for Nicolson, who had became the most talked about Aussie boxer heading into the Games after revealing her incredible preparation for the event.
She said before the Games she will be fighting to honour the memory of her brothers Gavin and Jamie (a Commonwealth Games bronze medal-winning boxer), who tragically died in a car accident one year before she was born.
It was her moment to shine, but as she celebrated, her rival was left inconsolable.
The BBC reported Walsh's camp believe their fighter was robbed as a result of Nicolson's undeniable home crowd advantage.
"No media for Michaela Walsh just yet. She is absolutely devastated," the BBC's Luke Reddy said.
"Tears and shock for her. There's a sense it was "robbery" from some of the Northern Ireland team.
"There's no time to dwell on it though. She's already out to pick up her medal. I'd like to say she was smiling. But I'd be lying."
Walsh was overcome with the emotion of defeat during the medal presentation and appeared to fight back tears during the Australian national anthem.
"I have never seen a more distressed athlete on a medal podium than Michaela Walsh," Reddy told The BBC.
"She obviously feels robbed of gold. She has just hugged winner Skye Nicolson though as they pose for photos.
"Walsh came off the podium with a face like thunder. Her defeat to Australia's Skye Nicolson has prompted controversy ringside"
Walsh told the BBC the judges' decision was impossible for her to accept after she was also denied gold in the gold medal fight at the Glasgow Games four years ago when she lost to Nicola Adams.
"I don't think she hit me with anything," Walsh said of Nicolson.
"She's the face of the Games, it is what it is.
"At least in 2014 it was close. This time I won full stop."
ABC Grandstand's Corbin Middlemas said the vocal crowd may have been decisive.
"A huge roar here from the locals and they may just be enough to sway the judges in rounds that are very hard to separate," he said in commentary.
None of the swirling controversy could take the glow off Nicolson's face. She was also pure class towards her opponent.
"I have no words. I'm so excited right now, over the moon. The best feeling I've ever felt in my life," she said.
"I'm so glad I got to enjoy the moment with mum and dad and thinking of (brother) Jamie (Olympic boxer who died in a car crash) 100 per cent. I'm so glad I got this gold medal for my family and for him."
"I always knew it was going to be a tough fight and a chess match. I always hoped I would meet her in the final. We were both wanting to draw each other in.
"I just took the chance and be the one that went forward. She's a great boxer."
Nicolson and Walsh actually sparred together at a recent training camp at the AIS in Canberra.

Often referred to as the "Oscars of Invention," the R&D 100 Awards honor the top 100 proven technological advances of the past year as determined by a panel selected by R&D Magazine. Erik Muller, Principal Investigator in the Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at Stony Brook University, leads a collaborative project, "Ultra-compact Diamond X-Ray Monitors," that has been selected as a finalist for the 2016 R&D 100 Awards.
In addition to Muller and his team, the project also includes scientists from Brookhaven National Laboratory and Case Western Reserve University who have developed x-ray detectors based on synthetic diamond that provide extraordinarily accurate measurements of x-ray flux, position and shape. The diamond x-ray beam position monitors developed by the team, led at Brookhaven Lab by the Instrumentation Division's John Smedley, have already begun to play a vital role in x-ray beam diagnostics and have been installed in synchrotrons worldwide.
Significant advances in sensor and electronics readout design have resulted in many innovative applications not possible using previously available detectors. Not only have these innovations made a huge impact in enhancing scientific research conducted at synchrotrons, the capabilities of these detectors have extended their application to the medical dosimetry community. The radiation hardness, dynamic range and speed of diamond make it ideal for monitoring gamma ray, proton and carbon ion beams for use in cancer radiotherapy.
"I'd like to acknowledge two of my PhD students, Tianyi Zhou and Mengnan Zou, from the Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering, whose work has been crucial to the recent development of this research built upon the efforts of Dr. Mengjia Gaowei who graduated from the same department in 2014," said Muller.
The Ultra-compact Diamond X-Ray Monitors project was supported by the Office of Science, the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.

It was a Monday morning in Singapore and the friends I stayed with had to go to work. I was scheduled to fly back to Kuala Lumpur at around 9 PM that day so I decided to explore the city on my own.
With plenty of time to waste, no concrete plans and dwindling cash, I decided to travel to the farthest terminal from the MRT, Joo Koon (East West Line) – about an hour or less away from where I was. Before I hopped on the train, I chatted with a nice, elderly lady at the station and asked for a park in Joo Koon. She informed me that there are no parks where I was headed but there's a very nice one near the Chinese Garden station – a station away from Joo Koon.
Also referred to as the Chinese Garden, Jurong Gardens features Chinese imperial style of architecture and landscaping. Sculptures of lion, which according to Chinese beliefs represents power, guard the entrance to the garden. As I made my way around the pathways around the park, I felt very relaxed. It was quiet and there were very few people around, mostly tourists. I roamed and walked on boardwalks cloaked by trees and spent a few minutes on a bench comforted by the breeze.
After resting, I went out to get some refreshments and headed back to the city via train to catch my flight back to KL. Though my backpack was 7 kilos heavy, it was a joy roaming around Jurong Gardens - especially since it wasn't really planned.
How to Get to Jurong Gardens (also known as Chinese Garden):The east entrance of Jurong Gardens is located next to the Chinese Garden MRT station. Make sure you ride the East West Line of the MRT bound for Joo Koon which is the last stop. After exiting the train station, you will see a stone pathway and a red bridge which leads to the entrance of the park. You can just walk going there - about 5-10 minutes away from the station.
Admission to the Main Garden is FREE but there are other attractions within the park which charge a fee of 2-5 Singapore Dollars/adult.

This month is all about in-car tech, and whether you love it or loathe it, it's hard to get away from it in modern cars! In a recent survey of 371 people, we wanted to find out what bits of in-car tech we use the most, and how important it is to our everyday driving routines. Let's talk about built in satnavs!
When you're buying a brand new car, you may be asked if you want a built in sat nav as an extra, but what is the difference between having a sat nav built in, and a standalone one, or an app on your phone?
When you have a sat nav built in your car, it's often much more than a navigation system alone. It can have many other media entertainment system included, so you'll know exactly where to go and have some great music on your journey, too! Built in sat navs tend to also be pretty straightforward to use and figure out. They're convenient because they're already there – so you don't have to worry about packing your sat nav before you hop in the car. Costs of built-in sat navs can be pretty high, however, as if it's not included as standard in your car, you can be looking at anywhere up to over £1,000 extra on your car.
Standalone or dedicated sat navs have one function and that is to navigate you where you need to go. Simple, right? They're a cheaper option than having a built in sat nav in your car and will get you where you need to go. Most dedicated sat nav screens are between 4 and 7 inches, so you can choose the size of the screen that is perfect for you. There are a few downsides with standalone sat navs, one being that if you forget to pick it up before your journey you may be stuck using the trust road signs! Also, if you're taking a trip outside of the UK you may need additional maps and these can be an expensive update.
Sat nav apps are the cheapest on the market in helping guide you from A to B. They're convenient, simple to use and easy to update. You can buy a sat nav app on your phone for very little money meaning this is the cheapest option to get your hands on a sat nav in your car – but is it the best option? The quality of the sat nav app can depend on the phone you have, so performance may not always be best with these. Some also need to be constantly connected to the internet and if you don't have enough data on your plan, this can cost you much more in the long run. You're also going to drain your phone battery with these, so you'll probably need to get an in-car charger to keep your phone full of juice when you arrive at your destination.
It's also worth remembering that even if you are using your phone as a sat nav behind the wheel, the same rules on using your mobile phone apply. It will need to be mounted and set up before you're on route – so no touching your phone mid journey.
Whether you want to get your hands on a built in sat nav in your car, or you're happy with an app (or even an actual map… do people still use these?) you should choose the option that is most reliable for you. You definitely don't want to be worrying about not knowing where to go when you're driving in a new place, but enjoying the drive and looking forward to your destination!


As the number of clubs are growing around the world, it is becoming a common scenario for a lot of youngsters to fall out of love with clubbing. Different people have different reasons for not going to clubs to celebrate their big days. Don't feel out of place if you are in a city that is famous for its nightlife, but you don't seem to connect yourself with the crowd. Don't mind if you cannot enjoy the club culture; there are many other things to do anyway.
You have to pay more than double the price for everything including cover charges, drinks, food, and cabs. If you are in Delhi, for example, you cannot just walk away if you are caught drinking and driving. Therefore, you have to hire a cab at surge pricing, which proves way more expensive than it should be otherwise. With the amount that you spend on one night in a club, you can host a grand house party.
Even in the capital city of India, clubs shut down at 1 am, which is real shame for the party owls. You actually start enjoying the ambiance and your swing of drinks after 10-11 pm. As soon as you begin feeling energetic for the party, the lights turn on and you have to exit the club. Moreover, everyone from the alley of clubs are leaving from the place, which results in a huge traffic jam of at least an hour. The famous party places in Delhi, Hauz-Khas Village, for example, are the typical hub for thousands of people to gather every Saturday evening. However, the demographics of party-goers have changed. People who used to go for a night out five years ago are no more interested to go to such places because tawdry people come in abundance to many clubs.
Although it is a great initiative by the governments all over the world to penalize drink-and-drive, it is still an annoying situation when you have to pay a huge amount for the taxi. First of all, it is not possible to find a taxi easily, and even if you do, it over-charges the customers on a Saturday night.
You can take a car on rent in Noida or Delhi when you are a traveler in Delhi, but you have to take one non-drinker friend with you who can drive you home without paying the penalty. People often think it is better to stay at home rather than facing so many hassles just for one night at a club.
In the last decade or so, clubs used to maintain a high quality in food, drinks, music, and crowd. In order to cope with inflation, the clubs have started deteriorating their quality in everything. You get to have very little amount of food at a high price. The drinks are often diluted even though they are expensive. The DJs play the music that they like rather than what people like to enjoy. The worst scenario is that the crowds come from all sorts of society who have no idea what they are meant to do at clubs. Incidents of molestation, pick-pocketing, etc. often surface inside and outside the clubs, which rips off the fun factor from a night out.
Whenever you are there in a metropolitan, you may often feel compelled to go for clubbing. However, you must not bother what your friends will say if you do not like clubbing. You can always do many other things in town rather than just following the trends.


Hello there! I've been rather busy over the last month or so and haven't been writing here as much. I'm sure you know what it's like.
I was also in Germany for a week, then came back to the US and hit a blizzard. I'll post more photos later, but for now, this first photo will represent Germany and the second will represent the snow.
This is Star Wars themed mustard. I imagine one can buy a similar product in the US but this is one mustard of many in your average German supermarket. All the photos I took on this trip are monochromatic.
This is my car. I've blurred out the license plate so you can't steal my identity.
More material will be coming soon, including papers I've found interesting lately, complaints about software, and more contrast-heavy photos.

Advocating Change
"If 20 million people were infected by a virus that caused anxiety, impulsivity, aggression, sleep problems, depression, respiratory and heart problems, vulnerability to substance abuse, antisocial and criminal behavior, retardation and school failure, we would consider it an urgent public health crisis.
Yet, in the United States alone, there are more than 20 million abused, neglected and traumatized children vulnerable to these problems. Our society has yet to recognize this epidemic, let alone develop an immunization strategy."
-B. D. Perry M.D Ph.D. World Renowned Expert on Child Trauma (www.childtrauma.org)
ChildWise Institute is driven by more than thirty years of experience from its founding organization healing young children who've suffered complex emotional trauma from abuse, neglect and chaotic environments. The founders of ChildWise had been increasingly dismayed by this swirling epidemic and the absence of a cohesive and collaborative effort to address it. ChildWise Institute was created with a dedicated focus to address this public health crisis and be a catalyst for social change.
Specifically, ChildWise is a catalyst for change through three integrated strategies; Advancing Awareness of child well-being issues; Accelerating Knowledge of understanding and best practices around child well-being issues, and Advocating for Change in funding, protection, treatment and well-being of children and their families..
It is our intent to change the way our society thinks and responds to child well-being issues. We intend to be part of the immunization strategy this nation needs.
ChildWise Institute exists for impact, outcomes, and societal change because clarity about what truly matters and being abhorred by the maltreatment of children changes nothing. It requires action. Action that is passionate, competent and focused with a vision to make a total difference in the life of one child, and then another, and then another…
Together we can act. We can create a more family-centered culture where every child is emotionally & physically healthy, and has a healthy permanent home. Together, we can do what truly matters.

Remembering the victims of the New Zealand terrorist attack
Nouri Sardar
While much of the media has been focused on the killer, and some outlets outright humanising him, several activists and community leaders have stepped forward and called for us to remember and celebrate the lives of the victims.
On a calm afternoon in Christchurch, New Zealand, as Muslims gathered for their Friday prayers in two separate mosques, a far-right terrorist proceeded to enter the mosques with semi-automatic weapons and fire indiscriminately at worshippers. 49 beautiful souls were originally taken from us, and at the time of writing, that number has risen to 51.
Here I would like to mention just some of the beautiful souls who were taken from us on that fateful day.
I would like to thank Khaled Beydoun for his wonderful Twitter thread dedicated to the victims, which you can read in full here.
I don't know the terrorist's name. Nor do I care to know it.
Im keen on knowing the names, remembering the stories and celebrating the lives of the victims.
All 49. Please join me. #49lives pic.twitter.com/nRZpaxSRgv
— Khaled Beydoun (@KhaledBeydoun) March 16, 2019
Naeem Rasheed
Naeem was a hero. As depicted in the horrific live-stream that the killer decided to broadcast during his massacre, Naeem lunged at the killer to tackle him. He had just witnessed his son Talha being killed, among so many others around him.
Naeem with his son Talha.
Naeem was badly injured at the shooting and later passed away after being taken to the hospital. His courage was recognised by Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, who promised him a national award.
We stand ready to extend all our support to the families of Pakistani victims of the terrorist attack in Christchurch. Pakistan is proud of Mian Naeem Rashid who was martyred trying to tackle the White Supremacist terrorist & his courage will be recognized with a national award.
— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) March 17, 2019
His brother, Khurshid Alam, spoke of how proud he was of his brother's actions:
He was a brave person, and I've heard from a few people there, there were few witnesses… they've said he saved a few lives there by trying to stop that guy.
His son Talha, a college student, was just 21.
"The Hero" | Say his name: Naeem Rashid.
One of the 49 #ChristChurch victims.
After he witnessed his son Taha shot and killed, and men and women slain around him, he lunged at the terrorist with his bear hands.

Haji Daoud Nabi
Hajj Daoud was another hero who stepped forward to save others.
He was 71-years-old. His son told media that his father had jumped into the firing line to save the lives of others.

His son, Yama al-Nabi, escaped the shooting by minutes as he was running late.
Another son, Omar, said that his father would greet refugees who were coming to Christchurch for a new life at the airport.
"Grandpa" | Daoud Nabi, 71, loved his little granddaughter.

He had attended the mosque with his father and brother, but as the panic and the horror ensued, the three became separated. Mucad's death was confirmed on Sunday.
His brother Abdi said:
My mum, she's been struggling… Every time she sees other people crying, emotional, she just collapses.
"The Youngest" | Muca Ibrahim was only 3 years old.
He was killed by terrorist in #ChristChurch, and is the youngest of the 49 slain Muslims. He has his whole life ahead of him.

Abdullahi Dirie
Abdullahi was just 4-years-old.
His family first came to New Zealand in the 1990s, fleeing war in Somalia.
His uncle, Abdulrahman Hashi, a preacher at a mosque in Minneapolis, told the Washington Post:
You cannot imagine how I feel. He was the youngest in the family.
He added, "This is a problem of extremism. Some people think the Muslims in their country are part of that, but these are innocent people."
"Baby Brother" | Abdullahi Dirie was only 4 years old.
He was 1/49 killed in #ChristChurch, and one of the youngest.
He was in the mosque with his dad and four siblings. His family members survived, but little Abdullahi was killed inside of the Mosque in #NewZealand.
Atta Elayyan

Atta was the goalkeeper of New Zealand football team, the Futsal Whites.
Atta was of Palestinian origin. Alongside his footballing career, he was also chief executive of a technology consultancy, as well as a professional gamer.
"A Patriot" | Atta Elayyan, 33, loved his country.
In fact, he represented New Zealand as a goalie for the World Cup qualifying team.
He loved his native Palestine too, and inspired youth in both countries. He was 1 of #51lives taken too soon. pic.twitter.com/379JFFfNs8
He leaves behind a wife, Farah, and a 2-year-old daughter, Aya.
QUOTE | @NZ_Football Futsal Development Manager @margetts_josh: "To Atta's family, we are deeply sorry for your loss.

Khaled and his family had fled war in Syria, and had begun their new life in New Zealand.
Khaled was shot while praying, along with his two sons. Hamza is missing, and Zaid is recovering from an operation in hospital.
Ali Akil, of Syrian Solidarity in New Zealand, said:
They were just looking for a safe place. Unfortunately we can't claim that New Zealand is a safe place anymore.
On Khaled, activist Khaled Beydoun said on Twitter:
He secured a better life for his family, but won't be there to realize that dream with them.
"The Dreamer" | Khaled Mustafa is Syrian refugee.
He fled from ISIS and war torn Syria, with his family, to pursue a new life in #NewZealand.

Hose Ara Parvin
Hosna, 42-years-old, had originally escaped the mosque after the shooting began, and was helping lead women out.

She returned into the mosque to search for her husband, Farid, who uses a wheelchair. She is said to have lept in front of him to shield him from bullets, sacrificing her life for his.
Her niece, Nusrat, told NewsHub:
She's brave, and she gave her life saving others.
"The Heroine" | This is Ara Parvin, 42.
She and her husband, Farid, left Bangladesh and settled in #NewZealand in 1994.

Sayyad Milne
Sayyad was just fourteen years old, and had attended Friday prayers every week.
He was a footballer, a student at high school, and had dreamed of becoming an international footballer.
His mother, Noraini, escaped. His father, John Milne, told New Zealand radio:
It's so hard… to see him just gunned down by someone who didn't care about anyone or anything.
Syed Areeb Ahmed
Syed Areeb was working in New Zealand to help support his family back in Karachi, Pakistan.
He was described by his uncle as deeply religious.
His body will be sent to Pakistan for burial.

Lilik Abdul Hamid
Lilik was a longtime maintenance engineer at Air New Zealand, having worked there for 16 years.
He had moved to Christchurch with his wife from Jakarta in 2003.
Lilik was married with two children.
His daughter, Zhania Anindya, told Radio New Zealand:
We never felt alone with his personality, he was always making friends with anyone.
"A Kind Soul" | Lilik Abdul Hamid was known at the #ChristChurch for his kindness.
The native of Indonesia was loved by everybody, and never missed Friday prayer. This is a selfy he took not long before the massacre.
The # murdered now is 50. pic.twitter.com/fExKkKSRWR
These are just some of the beautiful souls that were taken in an unacceptable act of terror. While news outlets focus on the story of the killer, who does not deserve the attention that he sought, let us celebrate the lives of the heroic 51.
They are at peace, it is we who are still suffering.
I'm the Senior Editor here at The Muslim Vibe.

Review & Outlook (U.S.)
The Yemen Meltdown
The U.S. withdrawal is a victory for Iran and al Qaeda.
March 22, 2015 6:49 pm ET
Another week, another victory for disorder in the Middle East. This time the meltdown is in Yemen, where this weekend the U.S. withdrew the remaining U.S. special forces from a base where they were waging a drone war against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
The withdrawal comes amid growing chaos in the country after Houthi militants deposed the government of Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who fled the capital, San'a, for Aden last month. The Houthis belong to the Zaidi offshoot of Shiite Islam and are receiving help from Iran. They are at war with Sunni jihadists, who struck back in bombings on Friday that killed 152 people in San'a and Saada province. An Islamic State affiliate claimed responsibility.


No feathers ruffled here. You're right, there is no one size fits all. I will add that applies to both sides. You don't have to agree 100% with everyone (as if that's even possible?) to be supportive. Sadly this could have been avoided if a) there was a real apology and b) there wasn't the round up, put on the Botany Bay and ship em off to kill each other comment. Once that poop hit the fan, and wasn't shut down (the 'it made me smile' made it worse if possible) it was too full on royal rumble.
I haven't read the post you speak of but I think I understand what it was about. So here is my take. Am I an ally of the LBGT movement? Yes. Why? Because I support human rights – all human rights. I am not concerned with the color of skin or who you love or what religion you practice but whether there is discrimination against you for any of those descriptions. I cannot be free if my fellow man are bound by restraints that does not allow that person to enjoy the rights and freedoms I have. I read M/M books written by both women and men and I had learned more about the issues that are faced by LBGT community – isolation from family, bullying, discrimination on the job, and loneliness that comes from being shunned. In addition, reading M/M books, I have learned more about transgender, and what they face. M/M books take the abstract concepts about being a member of the LBGT community and make them very personal because I am so invested in the characters of the book. Learning thru reading M/M books helps me be a stronger voice in support of the LBGT fight. Does it matter whether the person who write the book is gay? No, because when there is a fight for rights, every voice in support is important. That is what happened with the 1960's civil rights movement – voices demanding equal rights for Black American were of every color, race, and creed. Human Rights cannot be the voice of a few but the voices of many. And anybody who helps to add voices to the fight – regardless of who they are and whether they are a member of the LBGT community – should be praised and not criticized for who they are.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The "Toy Story 3" gang and Adam Sandler are finding plenty of playmates at movie theaters. Tom Cruise is not so popular, though.
The Disney-Pixar Animation smash "Toy Story 3" remained the No. 1 film with $59 million in its second weekend, raising its domestic total to $226.6 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Sandler's "Grown Ups" debuted at No. 2 with a healthy $41 million. Released by Sony, the comedy costarring Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider did well despite a thrashing from critics.
Cruise's thriller "Knight and Day" fizzled at No. 3 with $20.5 million. It was the worst result for a Cruise action flick in 20 years and a sign that audiences still have not forgiven him for erratic behavior a few years back, which included his couch-jumping incident on Oprah Winfrey's show.
"He's one of the biggest stars of all time, but no question, this has impacted him," said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. "It's not like it's irrevocable or unchangeable. Look at all the stars who have been jailed or caught in compromising sexual situations and then came back. Many stars do recover. It just may take a lot of time for him."
Reviews were fair for "Knight and Day," which features Cruise as a charming spy who finds romance with a civilian (Cameron Diaz) on a globe-trotting adventure. Yet distributor 20th Century Fox could not pull in a big audience despite a heavy marketing push that included sneak-peak screenings a week earlier and a Wednesday debut designed to build fan buzz for opening weekend.
Since Wednesday, "Knight and Day" has taken in $27.8 million. It added $12.6 million in 12 overseas markets, but the movie has a long road ahead to recoup a production budget of around $107 million.
Playing in 4,028 theaters, "Toy Story 3" maintained a strong average of $14,647 a cinema. That compared to an average of $11,602 in 3,534 theaters for "Grown Ups" and $6,617 in 3,098 cinemas for "Knight and Day."
Even so, Chris Aronson, head of domestic distribution for 20th Century Fox, said the studio was happy with the results.
"I do think with the excellent reviews we've caught along with its playability, that it's going to be the movie of choice for smart audiences and will be for a while," Aronson said.
At the height of the Cruise backlash four years ago — sparked by odd behavior including rants about Scientology and his couch-bouncing proclamation of devotion to Katie Holmes — his "Mission: Impossible III" debuted with $47.7 million, well over twice the take for "Knight and Day." Granted, the latter is a harder sell compared to an established action franchise.
Even Cruise's Nazi Germany drama "Valkyrie," which arrived with modest expectations two years ago, did better with $21 million in its first weekend.
"Knight and Day" had Cruise's lowest action debut since the 1990 race-car thriller "Days of Thunder," which pulled in $15.5 million while playing in 800 fewer theaters. Factoring in higher ticket prices, "Days of Thunder" would have debuted with about $29 million in today's dollars.
After just 10 days in theaters, "Toy Story 3" is about to hurtle beyond "Shrek Forever After," now at $229.3 million after five weeks in theaters, to become the year's top-grossing animated movie.
Though $300 million blockbusters "Iron Man 2" and "Alice in Wonderland" had bigger opening weekends, "Toy Story 3" now is outpacing both and could be on track to become the year's biggest hit.
"Though I would never try to call that prematurely, it certainly is the kind of movie that plays so well that you would expect the legs to put it into a pretty lofty position," said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney. "The storytelling is so superb that I think it's going to play forever."
"Toy Story 3" has added $100 million in 32 overseas countries to raise its worldwide total to $326.6 million. The film has yet to open in many major markets, including most of Europe.
While Cruise once was one of Hollywood's most-dependable draws, Sandler remains a steadfast box-office earner. "Grown Ups" was his 10th film to open in a consistent range from about $34 million to $48 million, dating to 1998's "The Waterboy."
"Grown Ups" features Sandler and his pals as boyhood friends reuniting as adults for the funeral of their old basketball coach.
Critics usually hate Sandler's movies, while fans keep turning up.
"They realize that they're the final judge, and they've chosen Adam over and over," said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony. "They know what they want to see."
Overall business was down again as Hollywood lapsed back into a box office slide that persisted from May into early June. Revenues totaled $160 million, down 20 percent from a huge weekend last year, when "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" debuted with $109 million.
Summer revenues are at $1.7 billion, down 5 percent from the record pace of 2009, while attendance is off nearly 11 percent, according to Hollywood.com.
Business should rebound as "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" opens Wednesday for the Fourth of July weekend, one of the year's busiest times at theaters.
1. "Toy Story 3," $59 million.
2. "Grown Ups," $41 million.
3. "Knight and Day," $20.5 million.
4. "The Karate Kid," $15.4 million.
5. "The A-Team," $6 million.
6. "Get Him to the Greek," $3 million.
7. "Shrek Forever After," $2.9 million.
8. "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," $2.8 million.
10. "Jonah Hex," $1.6 million.

A middle-aged man was beaten to death allegedly by his four wives at village Kabirpur under sadar upazila of the district early Tuesday.
The deceased was identified as Yunus Bapari, 46, an auto-rickshaw driver and resident of Mulalidaha under sadar upazila.
The police said that at about 11:00pm Monday, Yunus went to a village fair at Brahmankanda near Faridpur town with his two wives where he ran into his third wife that triggered a family row as his first two wives did not know he had a third wife.
At one point the three women came to know that Yunus even had a fourth wife living in another village. The three women then took him to the residence of his fourth wife at Kabirpur where the four women together beat him up mercilessly, locals said.
Yunus was admitted to Faridpur Medical College Hospital in a critical condition where he died at 4:50am. The body was sent to the hospital morgue for post-mortem examination.
At least he avoided the dreaded Christmas STD!

Решетнёвские чте́ния — международная научно-практическая конференция, проводимая Сибирским государственным аэрокосмическим университетом, АО «Информационные спутниковые системы» и АО «Красноярский машиностроительный завод». Участие в проведении конференции принимают Красноярский научный центр СО РАН, Красноярский краевой фонд науки и ЦКБ «Геофизика». Мероприятие проводится по решению учёного совета № 2 от 26 февраля 1997 года каждый год 10 ноября — в день рождения советского конструктора-ракетчика Михаила Фёдоровича Решетнёва. Мероприятие посвящено памяти названного руководителя железногорской площадки № 2, ныне — ОАО ИСС. Участие в конференции принимают специалисты предприятий аэрокосмической отрасли, научные сотрудники и преподаватели, а также соискатели учёных степеней и студенты российских и зарубежных вузов.

История
Решетнёвские чтения замышлялись как мероприятие, посвящённое памяти знаменитого советского и российского конструктора Михаила Решетнёва, скончавшегося в 1996 году. В феврале 1997 года учёный совет СибГАУ принял решение провести первую конференцию 10 ноября 1997 года. I-ая, II-ая, III-я и IV-ая конференции проводились исключительно для студентов, аспирантов, молодых преподавателей и специалистов в области аэрокосмической техники. По сути мероприятие представляло собой закрытую конференцию узкой тематики, причём исключительно на региональном уровне.

Начиная с V-ой конференции происходит существенное расширение как тематики конференции, так и состава участников. Впервые в 2001-2003 годы в Решетнёвских чтениях стали принимать участие видные учёные Красноярского края и других регионов России. Проведение НПК в это время совпало с проведением Сибирского аэрокосмического салона, что также повысило интерес общественности и науки к мероприятию.

В 2004 году (VIII-ая конференция) формат чтений был снова изменён оргкомитетом. Во-первых, было принято решение привлечь к участию в конференции более широкий круг лиц, среди которых не только представители российских предприятий и вузов, но и представители ближнего и дальнего зарубежья. Такое расширение привело к тому, что в 2005 году конференция была объявлена международной. Во-вторых, тематика конференции становится ещё шире, но по-прежнему охватывает самые насущные проблемы аэрокосмической отрасли в мировом масштабе. Среди главных проблем выделялись такие как проектирование летательных аппаратов, двигатели КА, СУ, космическая навигация и связь, инновационные технологии в производстве продукции авиакосмической отрасли, новые математические методы моделирования, эксплуатация и испытание техники, трансформируемые конструкции КА, организационно-экономические проблемы отрасли и подготовка кадров. На момент создания Решетнёвских чтений работало 5 секций, в 2004 их число возросло вдвое, в 2008 — почти вчетверо, на 2012 год существует 22 секции.

С 2000-х и по настоящее время работа докладчиков становится не только теоретической, но и практической. Выступления многих участников конференций, таких как Александр Лазуткин (работа над темой «Современное состояние и перспективы развития космонавтики»), Владимир Халиманович («Основные направления совершенствования экспериментальной отработки космических аппаратов»), Владимир Клешков («Утилизация ракетно-космической техники») и Валерий Владимиров («Дистанционное зондирование земли в практической жизни»), получили высокую оценку в научном сообществе и нашли своё практическое применение в различных организациях. Особенно это касается навигации и связи.

Участники
Основными участниками конференции являются сотрудники аэрокосмического университета, предприятий Красноярска и Железногорска, научные работники КНЦ СО РАН и его институтов, аспиранты и докторанты, студенты российских и зарубежных вузов. Вместе с расширением структуры чтений произошло и расширения круга допускаемых участников.

До 2004 года, по данным оргкомитета, активное участие в конференции принимают именно красноярцы, что было связано с небольшой известностью конференции за пределами края. Основные участники — сотрудники ОАО ИСС, Красмаша, «Красноярских авиалиний». Среди представителей академической и вузовской науки — сотрудники Института физики им. Л. В. Киренского СО РАН, Института вычислительного моделирования, КГУ, КГТУ, КГАЦМиЗ. Иногородние участники, принимавшие очное участие в конференциях, — участники из МАИ, МГТУ им. Н. Э. Баумана, БГТУ им. Д. Ф. Устинова, ГУАП, ПВИРВ им. В. И. Чуйкова, ПГТУ, ПГУ, ТПУ, ТГУ, ТУСУР, ИрГУ, КГТУ им. А. Н. Туполева, РГАТУ им. П. А. Соловьёва, СГАУ им. С. П. Королёва, УГАТУ, АмГУ, СВИ РВ и другие.

Секции
На данный момент в структуру Решетнёвских чтений включено 22 секции. В огркомитет каждой секции входят сотрудники СибГАУ, учёные, работающие в области космической техники, авиации и экономики, руководители подразделений базовых предприятий, политики Красноярска.

Denver-based Bandits play Snake River Saloon in Keystone
Heather Jarvis
hjarvis@summitdaily.com
Denver-based heavy rock group Bandits will play two nights at the Snake River Saloon in Keystone on Friday, Oct. 9 and Saturday, Oct. 10. The show starts at 9:30 p.m. both nights.
Special to the Daily |
Who: Bandits
When: Friday, Oct. 9 and Saturday, Oct. 10, 9:30 p.m.
Where: Snake River Saloon, Keystone
Lulu and John Demitro often get mistaken for a married couple. After checking out their CDs and noticing the two have the same last name, bar patrons will comment on how sweet it is the two tour together as a couple. But at 21 and 22 years old, the two finish each other's sentences better than spouses who have been together for decades — or as only brother and sister can do.
"She's a lot taller than me," John said, after Lulu explains the two are only a year and a couple months apart, and, when they aren't mistaken as a married couple, they are mistaken for twins.
The two, along with drummer Andrew Oakley, make up Bandits, a nationally-touring, Denver-based rock band that will be playing the Snake River Saloon in Keystone on Friday, Oct. 9 and Saturday, Oct. 10. The Demitro duo — with John on guitar and vocals and Lulu on bass, keyboards and vocals — have been playing together as a project for the past three years, and Oakley was added to round out the group about nine months ago.
Lulu said the fact that her and John are brother and sister doesn't take a toll on the group.
"We try to keep (fighting) to a minimum for our drummer's sake — we don't fight that often on the road," she said.
"We make fun of each other, that's how we …" John starts.
"… That's how we function as a band — everyone gives each other a lot of sh*t, that's how we get through it usually," Lulu finishes. "We don't have any horrible sibling fights; it's usually about something stupid, like tuning, can someone make a Facebook post, you have the phone charger — just silly things."
The van was traveling down a construction-filled highway in Texas, windshield covered in dead bugs. It was that time of day when the sun is glaring straight into the vehicle, making it hard to see even if the insects hadn't tragically met their doom on the glass. In Texas, Lulu explains in their defense, there are no lines on the road in the construction zones, only dots. Oakley, who was driving, suddenly realizes he's doing 45 on the wrong side of the road, and that's when everyone starts screaming.
John and Lulu tell the story as one, a stream of thoughts only differentiated by the pitches of their voices.
"Our drummer was apparently confused," Lulu said. "We were driving, he couldn't see out of the windshield and, suddenly, we are on the wrong side of the road, driving the wrong way —"
"Doing 45 miles an hour —" John adds.
"Luckily, we got off the road, wiped the bugs off with a CD and found a gas station to clean windshield," Lulu continues.
"It was an interesting little moment," John finishes.
Last year, Bandits did a small tour through the Midwest to test the waters but really started hitting it hard this past year, and the young group can't get enough.
"It's been great," John said. "It's awesome to get out and play other places, get a different perspective on other music scenes, and I just love being on the road."
Lulu said the group likes to take advantage of being in new places.
"We have a good time on the road," Lulu said. "We like to make the best of traveling to different places. We are in the van a lot, like eight or nine hours a day, so, when we get to a city, we try to find something cool to do — go to a museum, garden, anything other than staying in the van all day."
The band played the Snake last August but has also toured through all the other mountain towns, including Steamboat, Aspen and Telluride.
John describes their sound as heavy, aggressive rock — with a little bit of blues, Lulu adds.
"We've got a lot of modern influences, like Queens of the Stone Age, Def Leppard, The Kills, … Jack White — all those kinds of bands," Lulu said. "We also take a lot of influence from '70s rock — Zeppelin, Sabbath."
Lulu said their sound is unique in that they do a lot of heavier music with a keyboard, and it's hard to get big sound as a three-piece, but that is what they strive for.
Each song has a different vibe and a different voice to it because the two switch up on lead vocals, John said.
"I feel like dynamics are really important in a band," he said, "and a lot of our newer songs, we incorporate that a lot more and have a lot of quiet parts, and then, when it's heavy, it's really heavy. We try to write original-sounding songs with new ideas."
All three members grew up playing music throughout their childhoods. Oakley grew up on the drums, and John and Lulu grew up playing various instruments. Coming from a musical family, the Demitros' mom was a trumpet player, and they both learned the guitar from their dad. Instruments were always around the house, thanks to their grandfather's music shop.
"Our parents made us take piano lessons at 3," Lulu said. "We both continued playing piano — John started playing drums, then he started playing bass, then I started playing guitar, then John taught me how to play bass, then he learned how to play guitar."
The group has an EP of four songs available online and also have a music video premiering.
"It's hard to say what exactly inspires our music, but we love to write music," John said. "If we have an idea, something that excites us, we just do it and we are really excited about it."
Lulu said they want try create music that is appealing to themselves first and foremost.
"As musicians, everyone can agree that you write the kind of music you want to hear," she said. "So we definitely try to play the music that we would want to hear somebody playing that excites us."
Things seem to be taking off for the band, and they are holding a single release show Nov. 13 at Hi-Dive in Denver. The two Demitros both would like to see themselves touring and creating music long into the future.
"The most important thing is writing good songs and releasing them and having a good time doing it," John said. "In the next five years, I would love to tour a lot and play as many places as we can play. That's the most important thing, is just playing and writing good music —"
"And that's all you can really hope for," Lulu adds. "You can't have high expectations, but you want to have some good goals."
