Ian Fraser Kilmister, better known as Lemmy, was an English singer and musician. He is best remembered as the founder, lead singer and primary songwriter of the heavy metal band Motörhead. Lemmy's music was one of the foundations of the heavy metal genre, he was known for his appearance, which included his signature friendly mutton chops, his military-influenced fashion sense, his gravelly rasp of a voice, once declared "one of the most recognisable voices in rock". He was noted for his unique way of singing, once described as "looking up towards a towering microphone tilted down into his weather-beaten face", he was known for his bass playing style and using his Rickenbacker bass to create an "overpowered, distorted rhythmic rumble", while another notable aspect of his bass sound was that he played power chords using overdriven tube stacks by Marshall. Lemmy was born in Stoke-on-Trent and grew up between there, the nearby towns of Newcastle-under-Lyme and Madeley, the Welsh village of Benllech.

He was influenced by rock and roll and the early works of The Beatles, which led to him playing in several rock groups in the 1960s such as The Rockin' Vickers. He worked as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix and The Nice before joining the space rock band Hawkwind in 1971, singing lead vocals on their hit "Silver Machine". In 1975, he was fired from Hawkwind after an arrest for drug possession; the band's success peaked around 1980 and 1981, including the hit single "Ace of Spades" and the chart-topping live album No Sleep'til Hammersmith. Lemmy continued to record and tour with Motörhead until his death on 28 December 2015 in Los Angeles, where he had lived since 1990, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer two days before his death. Alongside his music career, he had minor cameos in film and television, he was well known for his hard-living lifestyle, which included chain-smoking and the daily consumption of high amounts of alcohol and amphetamines. Lemmy was born on 24 December 1945 in the Burslem area of Staffordshire.

When he was three months old, his father, an ex-Royal Air Force chaplain and concert pianist, separated from his mother. He moved with his mother and grandmother to nearby Newcastle-under-Lyme to Madeley; when Lemmy was 10, his mother married former rugby player George L. Willis, who had two older children from a previous marriage and Tony, whom Lemmy disliked, they moved to a farm in the Welsh village of Benllech, with Lemmy commenting that "funnily enough, being the only English kid among 700 Welsh ones didn't make for the happiest time, but it was interesting from an anthropological point of view". He attended Sir Thomas Jones' School in Amlwch, where he was nicknamed "Lemmy", it was suggested by some that the name originated from the phrase "lemmy a quid'til Friday" because of his alleged habit of borrowing money from people to play slot machines, although Lemmy himself said that he did not know the origin of the name. He soon started to show an interest in rock and roll and horses. At school, Lemmy noticed a pupil who had brought a guitar to school and had been "surrounded by chicks".

His mother had a guitar, which he took to school, was himself surrounded by girls though he could not play. By the time he left school, he had moved with his family to Conwy, he went on to work several odd jobs, including one at the local Hotpoint electric appliance factory, while playing guitar for local bands such as the Sundowners and spending time at a horse-riding school. He saw the Beatles perform at the Cavern Club in Liverpool when he was 16, learned to play along on guitar to their first album Please Please Me, he admired the sarcastic attitude of the group that of John Lennon, said of the group, "Brian Epstein cleaned them up for mass consumption, but they were anything but sissies. They were from Liverpool a hard, sea-farin' town, all these dockers and sailors around all the time who would beat the piss out of you if you so much as winked at them; the Rolling Stones were the mummy's boys—they were all college students from the outskirts of London. The Stones made great records, but they were always shit on stage, whereas the Beatles were the gear."

In Stockport, Lemmy joined local bands the Rainmakers and the Motown Sect who played northern clubs for three years. In 1965, he joined The Rockin' Vickers who signed a deal with CBS, released three singles and toured Europe being the first British band to visit the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; the Rockin' Vickers moved to Manchester. Leaving the Rockin' Vickers, Lemmy moved to London in 1967, he shared a flat with Noel Redding, bassist of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, with Neville Chesters, their road manager. He got a job as a roadie for the band. In 1968, he joined the psychedelic rock band Sam Gopal under the name Ian Willis and recorded the album Escalator, released in 1969. After meeting Simon King at a shopping centre in Chelsea in 1969, he joined the band Opal Butterfly. See Hawkwind In August 1971, Lemmy joined the space rock band Hawkwind, who were based in Ladbroke Grove, London, as a bassist and vocalist, he had no previous experience as a bass guitarist, was cajoled into joining before a benefit gig in Notting Hill by bandmate Michael "Dik Mik" Davies, to have two members who enjoyed amphetamines.

ITMO University is a large state university in Saint Petersburg and is one of Russia's National Research Universities. ITMO University is one of 15 Russian universities that were selected to participate in Russian Academic Excellence Project 5-100 by the government of the Russian Federation to improve their international competitiveness among the world's leading research and educational centers. Research priorities of ITMO University are concentrated in photonic technologies; the university consists of 18 departments, 7 research institutes and one academy, with a total of 119 chairs. As of April 1, 2014, the total number of students is 13,890, with over 900 being foreign nationals; the university employs 1,163 instructors, including over 800 PhDs. Many of its staff members and researchers have received government awards and designations of “honored science worker,” the highest in Russia. Vladimir Vasilyev has been the university's Rector since 1996; the University's birthday is considered to be 26 March 1900, when a Mechanics and Watchmaking Department was opened in the Prince Nicholas Vocational School.

At the time it was the only school in the Russian Empire. The first year, some 65 applications were received for 30 places. Eighteen students were admitted to 18 to Mechanics and Optics sections. In 1917 the Mechanics and Watchmaking Department became its own entity - Petrograd Technical College for Mechanics and Watchmaking. Norbert Boleslavovich Zavodsky became its headmaster. In 1920, most of its classes were transformed into Petrograd College for Fine Optics; the municipalities allocated a building for it in Demidov Pereulok. The colleges’ manufacturing facilities made a variety of complex optical and fine mechanics products; the first in USSR group of instrument engineers graduated here in 1931. In 1930, the college was transformed into Leningrad Training Center, in 1933, Leningrad Institute of Fine Mechanics and Optics became a separate college, its first research laboratory was established in the Department of Optical Glass Technologies. Thanks to research here the USSR could get away from importing expensive foreign abrasives.

In 1937, LITMO opened the first in the USSR laboratory for calculating machinery, transformed into the Department of Mathematical and Computing Devices. By the autumn of 1939 it became one of the institute's top departments and focused on developing electromechanical computing devices and control devices. By 1940, it had over 1,400 students and employed 27 professors as well as 80 associated professors and PhDs. With the beginning of the Second World War, 189 students and 85 staff members went to the front lines, while over 450 joined the People's Militia. Classes continued and only at the end of 1942 the students and instructors were evacuated to the town of Cherapanovo by Novosibirsk. During the Siege of Leningrad, LIFMO continued to operate a military repair facility for the Leningrad front, it was established in the first days of war and it fabricated test and measurement instruments for army and navy units. During the Siege, the facility developed improved optical sights, fixed artillery binoculars, gun panoramas, anti-aircraft sighting telescopes, machined “cups” for anti-aircraft shells and parts for land and sea mines.

After the Siege was lifted, the re-evacuation document was signed on August 10, 1944. The students and instructors returned to the city, classes started again that October; the university began to develop after the war. In the fall of 1945 it opened a new faculty – Electrical Instrumentation, soon reorganized into Radio Engineering. Here was established one of the first in the country Department of Quantum Radio Electronics, which began to train specialists in this field, it became an important milestone in the development of lasers in the USSR. Engineering Physics Department was established here in 1946 on the initiative of the president and several members of the USSR Academy of Sciences. From this department in 1954 graduated Dr. Yuri Denisjuk, a future renowned scientist, author of several discoveries in holography, laureate of the state award. In 1956, the researchers of the Computing Devices Department began to work on the first calculating machine “LITMO-1”, finished in 1958, it did binary engineering calculations but the data was entered and the results were presented in the familiar decimal system.

A laboratory for laser technologies was opened in the 1960s. The building on Sablinskaya Street, now the main campus, was built in the 1970s; the following decade saw the beginning of microprocessor technology research and the opening of the Interdisciplinary Institute of Advanced Studies to train manufacturing professionals in new areas of engineering and technology. In 1992, LIFMO became Saint Petersburg Institute of Fine Mechanics and Optics, in 1994 it acquired the university status; the Faculty of Computer Technologies and Controls, the largest at the university, opened in 1994. In 1994 the institute was the initiator and key developer of RUNNET, an IP network that unites all large research and education centers in Russia; the work was overseen by Dr. Vasilyev; the institute placed satellite dishes “Russia’ Rainbow,” rented from the military, on other universities. In 1995, the research center “Computer Optics” was established. In 2003 the institute was renamed into Saint Petersburg State University of Information Technologies and Optics.

Over the last decade Academy of Management Methods and Technologies was added to the ITMO structure as well as Interdisciplinary Institute of Professional Trainin
