The Second All-Ukrainian Students’ Conference

“Science Looks Ahead”

On 20 May the Chair of Foreign Languages

held its second All-Ukrainian Students’ Con-

ference “Science Looks Ahead”. This confer-

ence was really a great event in the life of our

University. About 100 students were among

the participants. Guests from Lisichansk, Sva-

tovo, Rubezhnoye took part in the conference.

Students from Dnipropetrovsk, Herson, Saint-

Petersburg had the opportunity to be part of it

too. All the participants used Multimedia

means which helped them to be as convincing

as possible.

The conference is always a good chance to

exchange ideas and experience, show good

language knowledge and share opinions on

various problems of science and technique.

At our conference students themselves nomi-

nate winners (though teachers also have the

right to vote). Among the winners are: Katya

Zubova, Dmitriy Surzhenko, Katya Su-

khopleschenko, Troshin Alexandr, Yakoven-

ko Alexandra and many others.

The last lesson

I’m sure all my group and

those who were present at our

last English lesson, will never

forget it. We decided to de-

vote the lesson to the world

famous writer William Shake-

speare after the lecture on

Shakespeare delivered by V.K.

Sukhantseva, our dean and

lecturer. The English teacher

Irina Olegovna Sychevskaya

supported this idea and prep-

arations began.

Polina Protsenko made a bright

presentation on Shakespeare’s

life and creative work with the

help of multimedia. Natasha

Gavrilchenko acted out a part

of Juliet from the tragic love

story “Romeo and Juliet” (it

was the balcony monologue, of

course). And she was a real

Juliet – so tender, fragile, ex-

citing, beautiful!

But the highlight of the party

was students’ performance that

was just amazing! Albert Moro-

zov wrote a scenario of the

original play “We are staging

Shakespeare”. This play shows

a sort of students’ rehearsals of

“Hamlet”.

. I think Morozov tried to com-

pete with Shakespeare himself

and it was a good try! All the

play is in verse inspired by

Shakespearian style. It is both

in Russian and in English com-

bining original English text and

original Morozov’s poetry. I

splendid and all participants did

their best to make it even

breathtaking.

Opinion

The Forum “Luhansk region-youth-future-2011”/Luganshina-Youth-Future-2011

Wise people say that we realize the vital im-

portance of events only in the course of time.

It is difficult to argue against it. In the mo-

ments when you are really happy all seems fog-

gy, and only time sorts things out. We can say

the same about the comprehension of the im-

portance of the Forum. It has come to me just

now.

On May, 22-24nd, 2011 Luhansk regional

youth forum ("Luganshchina-molodezh-

budushchee-2011") was held in the rest house

"Miner" (Perevalsky region). 130 leaders of

youth public organizations and organs of stu-

dent's self-management of higher educational

establishments of the I-IV accreditation levels

of Luhansk area took part in the Forum. Aren’t

figures impressive?. I personally didn't expect

to see such a great army of active young peo-

ple.

The Lugansk regional youth forum of

"Luganshchina-molodezh-budushchee-2011" is

the regional project aimed to support youth initi-

atives and to exchange their experience in the

newest technologies.

All participants were divided into 4 groups and

trained in the following directions: «Design man-

agement», «Information support of the project»

and «Financial management of the project».

I have nearly forgotten to mention: the motto of

the Forum was «I live in a new way!», which

supports a healthy way of life in all Luhansk re-

gion. We had lots of fun even without beer!

The organizers of the Forum traditionally include

Luhansk regional state administration and Lu-

gansk regional center on support of youth initia-

tives and social research. Many thanks to organ-

izers for the well organized occasion!

P. S. Today many participants of the Forum find

each other in social networks, exchange calls.

Can we do something else? The Forum - is the

big fair of useful and pleasant acquaintances. We

are happy to be together. The future belongs to

youth!

Emily Dickinson

I’m nobody! Who are you?

Are you nobody, too?

Then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell!

They’d banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!

How public, like a frog

To tell your name the livelong day

To an admiring bog!

Анна Лужина

Печально признавать, что ты – никто,

Особенно, когда карман твой пуст

И дождь стучит в окно.

И грустно, что лицо твое и имя

Не знает мир,

А сам ты не Сенека, не Шекспир.

Но в славе лишь иллюзия значенья,

А в жизни есть любовь, добро и вдохновенье.

И если у тебя все это есть,

Зачем тебе известность, слава, лесть?

Александра Пилипенко

Я признаюсь тебе, что я никто,

А смог бы ты таким же честным быть?

Ты отвечаешь: «да»,

Но хочешь, чтоб никто,

Не смог твое признанье это разгласить.

Но я не побоялась всем сказать,

Что лучше, чем барахтаться в болоте,

И что-то из себя изображать,

Я буду слыть ничем, а грезить о полете.

Оксана Шулика

А хто ти є?

Може пустота?

Таємна, загадкова тьма?

Але чому так одиноко

У цьому світі? Ти і я,

І він, і навіть ми,

Але і це нас не рятує.

Ти сам, самотній, знаєш ти,

Хоча навколо тебе люди.

The World’s Newsfax Science-Gate

Yellow journalism or the

yellow press is a type of jour-

nalism that presents little or no

legitimate well-researched

news and instead uses eye-

catching headlines to sell more

newspapers. Techniques may

include exaggerations of news

events, scandal-mongering, or

sensationalism. By extension

"Yellow Journalism" is used

today as a pejorative to decry

any journalism that treats

news in an unprofessional or

unethical fashion.

Campbell (2001) defines

Yellow Press newspapers as

having daily multi-column front

-page headlines covering a va-

riety of topics, such as sports

and scandal, using bold layouts

(with large illustrations and

perhaps color), heavy reliance

on unnamed sources, and una-

bashed self-promotion. The

term was extensively used to

describe certain major New

York City newspapers about

1900 as they battled for circu-

lation. In his book “Yellow

Journalism: Puncturing the

Myths, Defining the Legacies”

he defines the main features of

yellow press:

the frequent use of multi-

column headlines that some-

times stretched across the

front page.

a variety of topics reported

on the front page, including

news of politics,

war,international diplomacy,

sports, and society.

the generous and imagina-

tive use of illustrations, includ-

ing photographs and other

graphic representations such

as locator maps.

bold and experimental lay-

outs, including those in which

one report and illustration

would dominate the front

page. Such lay-

outs sometimes

were enhanced

by the use of col-

or.

a tendency to

rely on anony-

mous sources,

particularly in

dispatches of

leading corre-

spondents.

a penchant for

self-promotion, to

call attention ea-

gerly to the pa-

per’s accomplish-

ments.This ten-

dency was nota-

bly evident in

Science-Gate

crusades against monopolies

and municipal corruption.

Frank Luther Mott (1941)

defines yellow journalism in

terms of five characteristics:

scare headlines in huge

print, often of minor news

lavish use of pictures, or

imaginary drawings

use of faked interviews,

misleading headlines, pseudo-

science, and a parade of false

learning from so-called experts

emphasis on full-color Sun-

day supplements, usually with

comic strips (which is now nor-

mal in the U.S.)

dramatic sympathy with

the "underdog" against the

sys-

tem.

The term originated during

the American Gilded Age of the

late nineteenth century with

the circulation battles between

Joseph Pulitzer's New York

World and William Randolph

Hearst's New York Journal. The

battle peaked from 1895 to

about 1898, and historical us-

age often refers specifically to

this period. Both papers were

accused by critics of sensation-

alizing the news in order to

drive up circulation, although

the newspapers did serious

reporting as well. The New

York Press coined the term

"yellow kid journalism" in early

1897 after a then-popular

comic strip to describe the

down market papers of Pulitzer

and Hearst, which both pub-

lished versions of it during a

circulation war. Ervin Ward-

man, publisher of the sedate

New York Herald coined the

term.

Today yellow press

brings large benefits to pub-

lishers but unfortunately it’s

because of the lies presented

on the yellow pages. Is it good

or not? A really hard question.

A very contradictory question.

The truth lays somewhere in

the middle. People always

want to know something hot,

exciting, embarrassing and

frightening, so the demand

produces the supply.

Being charmed with fash-

ion styles, I came to Alchevsk

Theatre of Fashion of Milleni-

um. It gave me much

knowledge of fashion and

much practice of being charm-

ing. I felt self-confident and

beautiful. Our trainers and

stylists make rather profes-

sional fashion show. Our re-

cent victory in the National

Competition of theatres of

fashion in Sevastopol proves it.

I was happy and I felt a real

bird!

Fashion is a great force!

Fashion is defined as a

rapid and unexplainable aspir-

ing to change all the forms of

culture exposition, but when

saying “fashion” people mostly

mean clothes. It can’t be a

mistake because after people

had recognized prag-

matic function of

clothes, they soon

realized its social

function: beauty ideal

-forming, social status

demonstration, na-

tional identifying and

so on. Latin word mo-

dus is translated as

measure. This meas-

ure gives a person the

accepted ideal that

promotes self-identifying, dis-

tancing or showing together-

ness with a definite social

group. In addition, fashion

gives an impetus to economi-

cal development overtaking

physical amortization of a

thing, enabling a person to buy

new stylish things. Style is a

unit of typical features of

clothes to dominate at definite

time and makes possible to call

a thing stylish or fashionable.

Koko Chanel said that fash-

ion comes and goes but the

style stays.

Fashion causes transfor-

mation of exterior

forms of clothes,

aspiring to their

mass using. Para-

dox is in that,

when unification is

achieved, new

transformation is

needed. The

rhythm of fashion

styles transfor-

mation increases

constantly. At the

end of the 20th

century a style dominated for

7-10 years, but now it changes

every 2-3 years. Another fea-

ture of modern fashion is the

addressee of it. Since old times

fashion has been mostly ad-

dressed to aged ladies, having

money, but now it appeals to

the youth. It is popular now to

stay young as long

as it’s possible.

Modern cosmetic

surgery and beauty

saloons make it

achievable.

The history of fash-

ion begins in the

early Middle Ages

with the growth of

international con-

tacts. Venetian and

Greek styles were being copied

by foreign royal families and

by the court. Then France be-

came the leader of fashion

having introduced the world

Pandora – the doll made spe-

cially to demonstrate dominat-

ing style of clothes. Big Pando-

ra (as tall as a real woman)

demonstrated ballroom dress-

es, while Small Pandora

showed home dresses. There is

a historic note in the chronicle:

in 1704, during the war be-

tween France and Britain the

safe corridor on the battle field

was made to

promote

French Pan-

doras deliv-

ery to the

British

Queen.

In 1778

fashion mag-

azine began

its circulat-

ing. It was

filled with

hand-made

pictures of

STYLES OF FASHION

Issue №4, June 2011 Page 9

Society ladies in clothes of the latest

design. The price of the maga-

zine was so high that only 123

fashion-followers could afford

to subscribe for it. Invention of

photo has made magazine-

making much easier and

cheaper. Since then nothing

and nobody could stop fashion

marching over the planet.

In fact there are 2 styles

of clothes in fashion: Haute

couture and Prêt-a-porter.

Haute couture was born

in 1858 in France due to the

British immigrant Charles

Wart. He was the one who be-

gan demonstration of clothes

on the girls at catpad instead

of using dolls. He’s made it a

professional show for aristoc-

racy, imposing a fashionable

style on them. Due to Mr. Wart

a profession of designer or

stylist has appeared. The

dresses were mostly exclusive,

with one sample for defile and

another one for the client. That

was the way Haute couture

style has appeared.

Paul Puaret, Koko Shanel,

Juber de Chiwanshee and oth-

ers supported and continued

the luxurious style, in spite of

too limited number of clients

(from 2 thousand of occasional

clients to 2 hundred of custom-

ers in the world).

Prêt-a-porter style

was born in 1950th in France.

It suggests ready-made

clothes of standard size of defi-

nite author’s style. Profession

of stylist becomes popular, as

he or she had to think how to

make a fashionable thing

cheap, but nice. Due to Prêt-a

-porter style many artificial

fabrics were created to make

clothes cheaper: nylon, perlon,

polyamid and so on. Prêt-a-

porter style gives opportunity

to author’s styles development

even more successfully than in

The author’s styles are

various and numerous. In our

research we have identified 23

of them, but they are just the

ones, recognized in the world.

These are some author’s

styles from our collection:

Boho style (Bohemian – the

French translation “Gypsy”) is

extremely popular now. It

looks like a mixture of con-

trasts: expensive fur waist-

coats and simple short dresses

or tight jeans, bohemian

blouses with colourful skirts of

the Gypsies, long tunics and

leggings or shorts and so on.

Vintage style presup-

poses things that are not

younger than 20 years old. The

writer and historian A.N. Wil-

son characterized vintage

style like wearing history. A

costume is to reflect clearly the

time of its creation: 1950th,

1970th and so on. Second hand

garments are often used for

fun and fashionable view, but

newly-made clothes are faith-

ful copies of older garments.

Gothic

style.

Though

the

Gothic

style be-

longed

to the

Gothic

subculture it has managed to

survive and place itself in the

mainstream fashion world. It

looks like mixture of sport and

gothic elegance. Dramatically

arched hemline, short skirts,

corset dresses, tight sleeves,

short tops and leather gloves

of black and pink colour… You

are perfectly charming and

mysterious!

Preppy style

(abbreviation for preparation)

is a widespread North Ameri-

can youth subculture. Well-

educated, with good manners,

traditionally popular young

people dressed like in school

uniform. This style shows kids

in the most positive light: no

exposing of pants from under

the short skirt, no busthalter’s

fragments or so, just reserving

and elegance – that is a prep-

py.

Mother's Day Gifts for Modern Mother

Mother's Day is here again. It is one of the most pop-

ular of all such days that honour relationships. Of the

many people who add value to our lives, a mother is

undoubtedly the most special. Whether it is your own

mom or someone you look up to, the basic thought

behind Mother's Day is expressing yourself to that

someone who has been with you throughout your life.

One of the ways of letting her know that she is in-

deed valued by you is by gifting her on Mother's Day

(sending Mother's Day gifts, giving gifts on this occa-

sion). The most basic essential to be understood be-

fore going gift shopping on Mothers Day is the person-

ality type of your mom.

Is your mother working or a homemaker, outgoing or

a homebody, loves to travel or do gardening or maybe

loves fashion or shopping every few days. If you have

analysed or observed closely her nature and prefer-

ences, then choosing the perfect gift for her becomes

easy. Here we present some gift ideas for a mother

who has a modern outlook and lifestyle.

Apparels for the Well Dressed Lady

Your mother is someone who loves dressing up on

occasions and even without them. She is probably the

person whom you consult whenever you have to take

decisions regarding the latest in fashion and the

trends in clothes. Maybe she is just particularly well

turned out and concerned about making the right im-

pression.

Simply said, the choice of a Mother's Day present

for her is what make sher look beautiful and pleas-

ingly attractive. Gift her apparels which might range

from a new dress to work out clothes, from formals

to informals and from traditional ethnic wear to

western wear.

Latest Gadgets for the Techno Savvy Mom

Have you noticed that she, your mom, loves moving

with the times and always feels that time is short for

anything and everything that she might want to do.

Or maybe, she wants to or needs to accomplish the

maximum possible in a short period. Then, this

Mother's Day show her how much you care, gift her

something that assists her in her daily and long term

challenges.

Gadgets which make the work around the house

easier or make it easier for her in balancing her

home and work life. Be it kitchen ware or an elec-

tronic personal care product or planners and commu-

nicators, all come under this category of gifts.

Art Work or Collectibles for Your Mom

For someone who is accomplished in her own right,

who has her own identity for the world to recognise

and appreciate, a hobby of art or music is a natural

outcome which brings him/her full circle to a whole-

some life.

Even if her busy schedule and forward thinking and

quick acting approach make it difficult for your mom

to appreciate the small pleasures in life like collect-

ing art or music or decorating and designing, still a

gift of art or other valuable collectibles can be and

should on your list of Mother's Day gift ideas.

A Holiday as a Mother's Day Gift

After a period of hard work and keeping up to the

demands of a busy life, the least our mothers de-

serve is a long sought after holiday. Why do you not

be the one to give her this. It would be the most

beautiful surprise and one much appreciated by her

for a long time to come.

She is sure to love you for making this occasion ex-

tra special and memorable for her. It would also

mean a rare time off without the daily work and

chores and duties to bother her and a time spent

with loved ones. From a weekend getaway to a day

trip to a much longer holiday, every option has its

pros and cons, go for one which suits your mothers

and her family which includes you.

Mother's Day Story

The story of Mothers

Day is a long one. It is

neither a recent phe-

nomenon as many peo-

ple believe it to be. Nor

it is the creation of card

and gift marketers syndi-

cate as assumed by cyn-

ics of Mothers Day festi-

val. To the surprise of lot

many people Mothers

Day celebrations are first

said to have taken place

in the time of ancient Greeks and Romans hundreds

of years ago. Even Mothers Day celebrations in UK

began much before the tradition saw the light of the

day in US. In US the efforts of Ms Julia Ward Howe

and Ms Anna Jarvis are greatly recognised for start-

ing the tradition of Mothers Day but several other

women too made remarkable contribution to further

the cause of Mothers Day holiday.

Today Mothers Day is celebrated in more than 46

countries around the world though at different times

in the month of May and in some countries it is cele-

brated in entirely different times of the year. In the

present time Mothers Day has come to be interna-

tionally recognized as the day to honor all mothers

and thank them for the services they impart for the

benefit of their individual child and consequently to

the development of mankind. Please read on and

click on the links to know more about the related

Mothers Day stories.

Mother's Day Story: Celebrations in the time of

Greeks and Romans

The tradition of Mothers Day started with the an-

cient Greeks who celebrated their annual spring

festival in honor of Rhea, the mother of many Gods

and Goddesses in the Greek mythology. Ancient

Romans too celebrated a spring festival by the

name of Hilaria in honor of Cybele, a mother god-

dess, some 250 years before Christ was born.

Mother's Day Story: Celebrations in UK

In UK, Mothers Day celebrations started by the

name of Mothering Sunday, several years before

the tradition found its roots in UK. Mothering Sun-

day came to be celebrated following the practice in

UK of 17th century wherein children of poor families

were send to work as apprentice and domestic

servants with the rich. These children were allowed

to visit their 'Mother Church'

or the Cathedral of their home

town annually in the middle of

the fasting month of Lent.

Children met their mothers

after visiting the church and

presented them with flowers

and special 'Mothering Cakes'.

The custom received a set

back with the advent of In-

dustrial Revolution when the

lifestyles changes. American

soldiers contributed in the

revival of the tradition after

the World War II.

Mother's Day Story: Struggle of Anna Jarvis

A loving daughter from West Virginia, Anna Jarvis

is recognised as a 'Founder of Mothers Day' and

'Mother of Mothers Day'. Anna kept the word of her

activist mother, Mrs Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis who

once expressed a wish that someone should strive

to provide mothers their due recognition. After her

mothers death in 1905, Anna's determination be-

came strong and she along with several supporters

started lobbying for the official holiday on Mothers

Day by writing letters to the people in power. To

celebrate Mothers Day, Anna began to send her

mothers favorite flowers, carnations in her local

church requesting people to wear them in honor of

their mothers. The idea gained immense popularity

over the years and in 1910, West Virginia became

the first state to recognize Mothers Day holiday. On

May 8, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a

Joint Resolution designating the second Sunday in

May as Mother's Day.

Mother's Day 2012 is the second Sunday in May

(9th May).

Rabbit's Ph.D. Thesis:

A Parable for Graduate Students Scene: It's a fine sunny day in the forest, and a rabbit is sitting outside his burrow, tippy-tapping on his typewriter. Along comes a fox, out for a walk. Fox: "What are you working on?"

Rabbit: "My thesis." Fox: "Hmmm. What's it about?" Rabbit: "Oh, I'm writing about how rabbits eat foxes." (incredulous pause) Fox: "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that rabbits don't eat foxes." Rabbit: "Sure they do, and I can prove it. Come with me." They both disappear into the rabbit's burrow. After a few minutes, the rab-bit returns, alone, to his typewriter and resumes typing.

Soon, a wolf comes along and stops to watch the hardworking rabbit. Wolf: "What's that you're writing?" Rabbit: "I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat wolves." (loud guffaws) Wolf: "You don't expect to get such rubbish published, do you?" Rabbit: "No problem. Do you want to see why?" The rabbit and the wolf go into the burrow, and again the rabbit returns by

himself, after a few minutes, and goes back to typing.

Scene: Inside the rabbit's burrow. In one corner, there is a pile of fox bones. In another corner, a pile of wolf bones. On the other side of the room, a huge lion is belching and picking his teeth. (The End) Moral: It doesn't matter what you choose for a thesis subject. It doesn't

matter what you use for data. What does matter is who you have for a the-sis advisor.

The price decides everything

On the first day of college, the Dean addressed the students, pointing out

some of the rules: "The female dormitory will be out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time." He continued,

"Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $60. Being caught a third time will cost you a fine of $180. Are there any questions?" At this point, a male student in the crowd inquired: "How

much for a season pass?"

Chief editors:
