"New colleague in Engineering
Dr Minyue Fu is looking forward to Lecturing in electronic in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science next year.
His enthusiasm is due to the high reputation of the department, particularly in Dr Fu’s area of specialisation, robust and adaptive control. Dr Fu chose to come to the University of Newcastle because he feels ‘It’s a privilege to work here’. The University has a particularly good reputation in the area of adaptive control.
Dr Fu originally comes form China, where he completed his Bachelor of Arts in electronics engineering. He then moved to the USA where he completed his Masters Degree and PhD. Dr Fu has papers published in various international journals: and is currently researching ways in which robust control and adaptive control can be combined. As well Dr Fu will give a short course on his research topic, robust control.
Robust control covers research which deals with the control of systems that have uncertain parameters, and adaptive control involves ways of optimising system performance.
Having lived in three different counties, Dr Fu says he has become used to changes. He spent one and a half years as an assistant Professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, and says that the lifestyle in the USA is similar to the lifestyle here. Dr Fu says he is still learning about the difference between the University systems, but there is less teaching to do here, so more time can be spent on research.
‘This centre is very nice in the sense that there is lots of interaction between the university and industry’, says Dr Fu, who pointed out that in the USA the ‘main focus is on research, not on application’. Dr Fu believes that this is one of the strong points of the University.
Dr Fu and his wife, Xiaoyan Zhu, have two children, Amy (one and–a-half years) and Kathy (7 months). Dr Fu enjoys volleyball which he plays every week, jogging and swimming."

The Pat Garrett murder marker. Located at the clearing where Pat Garrett was shot, it was built by his son some 20 years after his death.
On the front is carved P. GARRETT, and the sides FEB 1908.
You can see various cranial arteries here. The main arteries involved in supplying the brain form a circle around the pituitary gland (center) called the cerebral arterial circle, or the Circle of Willis. The main reason I'm sharing this is again---can you believe how DIRTY it is?

“On the 31 August 2018, the Council of the University of Newcastle (Australia) resolved to revoke the honorary Master of Arts degree awarded to Father Peter Brock in 1987 and also the 1989 Newton-John Alumni Award that was awarded to Father Brock in 1990, in response to a complaint following the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle acknowledgment in September 2017 that Father Brock was the subject of substantiated abuse claims. The church report found he “engaged in a range and pattern of behaviours” and that “That range and pattern of behaviour constituted sexual misconduct as defined by the NSW Ombudsman Act 1974,” Father Brock’s name has been removed from a list of Newton-John award recipients since 1977 who have achieved excellence in arts, creative sectors and culture. Through this action, The University of Newcastle recognises the distress caused to victims and survivors of institutional child sexual abuse, and their families, and seeks to acknowledge and respect their wishes.”

Author(s): Thomas Fletcher Year: 2007 URL: thomas-fletcher.com/friendwheel/ Friend Wheel is free and anyone with a Facebook account can see their network of friends linked and represented in this fashion. The rationale is simple: On the outside are all of your friends and if two people are linked together, it means that they are friends with each other. There's also an interactive flash version which allows the nodes to be moved and highlighted, and makes it possible to zoom in and out. At the time of writing, 31st August 2007, Friend Wheel had 365,000 users and is still growing significantly. Around 25,000 wheels are generated each day. The tool uses the Facebook Development Platform to retrieve your friends and all of the links between them. This information is then used to draw the wheel image. PHP and the GD extensions for drawing are used for Friend Wheel.

Thomas James Rodoni was born in 1882 at Hotham East, Victoria, to Swiss and Irish parents. While living in Sydney in August 1914 as a man of 31, Rodoni joined the first Australian Imperial Force that would engage in the Great War: the Australian Naval & Military Expeditionary Force.
A week after enlisting, Rodoni’s company embarked on the HMAS Berrima and sailed to German New Guinea among a fleet with orders to seize two wireless stations and to disable the German colonies there.
Rodoni’s unofficial photographs – many of them “candid” shots, captured in the moment – are a rare glimpse of this pivotal moment in Australia’s history. He has documented the energetic atmosphere of prewar Sydney and its surrounds, from civilian and military marches to battleships docked in Sydney Harbour, with accompanying crowds of people brought together for these special events. His camera voyaged with him on the expedition to the Pacific region, taking images both from the ship’s deck and then again on dry land after disembarking.
Rodoni was stationed in New Guinea for five months with the AN&MEF after the successful capture of territory from the German forces. His striking images are testament to his ease with the camera, and the ease of his fellow servicemen around this avid amateur photographer. He used his camera to record daily events and significant moments in the expedition, and made several group portraits of the officers and soldiers in his company. Yet his images also suggest a genuine curiosity for the foreign people and places where he was stationed, and a love of the photographic medium in which he practiced during this early period of the war.
After leaving New Guinea with the AN&MEF and returning home to Australia in January 1915, Rodoni left the force to work in a Small Arms Factory manufacturing munitions for the war. He soon married and settled in Newcastle with his wife, Catherine Annie Wilson, and had four children: Thomas, Mary, Jim and William (Bill).
The wider collection of glass plate negatives – over 600 in total and with many views of Newcastle and its surrounds is an incredible legacy to Thomas Rodoni and his family.
Rodoni died in 1956 as a result of a car accident in Waratah, Newcastle.
The original negatives are held in Cultural Collections at the Auchmuty Library, University of Newcastle (Australia).
