Historic Sites: Big Island, Hawai'i – Part 2
April 8, 2020 April 6, 2020 ~ Alex Brown
A lot of people go to Hawai'i and lounge on the beach or snorkel in the crystal clear waters. I, on the other hand, spent my time visiting historical and cultural sites. Here are some more of those sites from my trip to the Big Island in 2014.
Established as a national park in 1916, this area has been home to Native Hawaiians for more than 1,600 years. Two volcanoes sit within the 323,431-acre park: Kīlauea and Mauna Loa, the biggest shield volcano in the world.
Hilina Pali Road, (c) Alexandria Brown
Pahoehoe is the smooth lava on the left, formed when low viscosity lava flows. A'a, on the right, is formed when high viscosity lava is ejected too rapidly to heat high enough to "melt." (c) Alexandria Brown 2014
Destruction in the wake of the 1974 lava flow. (c) Alexandria Brown 2014
Crater, (c) Alexandria Brown 2014
Kīlauea Iki Crater, formed 1959. Words cannot describe how immense it is. (c) Alexandria Brown 2014
Pu'u Loa (Hill of Life) Petroglyphs contains over 23,000 images and motifs. The pahoephoe lava was created about AD 1200-1450. Descendants of the people from the Kalapana region to this day carve holes in the rock for the piko (umbilical cord) of a newborn for blessings of health and spiritual strength.
Pu'u Loa petroglyphs, (c) Alexandria Brown
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. (c) Alexandria Brown
Onomea Bay
Historically, Onomea Bay was a fishing village known as Kahali'i. In the 1850s it became a key shipping port for Onomea Sugar Mill. Most of the vegetation comes from the sugar mill era; after the site was abandoned in the early 1900s it was quickly overgrown. The Bay abuts the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden.

ʻAkaka Falls State Park
This waterfall, not far from Hilo, falls 442 feet into a gorge.
(c) Alexandria Brown 2014
Puakō Petroglyph Archaeological Preserve
There are more than 3,000 kii pohaku, or petroglyphs carved into lava rock, dating back to 1200 AD. The petroglyphs mark births and other important events in the lives of the people who lived in the area.

Upper Huehue Flow
The most recent eruption of Hualālai was 1800-1801. After Kilauea and Mauna Loa, it is the third most active volcano on the island.

Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park
Captain James Cook landed here on January 17, 1779. At first he was welcomed by the locals but after attempting to kidnap the chief he was executed on Valentine's Day at this same spot. The monument to Cook is at the point of land to the left.
Hikiau Heiau was a luakini heiau built by King Kalani'opu'u. (c) Alexandria Brown 2014

'Won't miss waking up feeling like roadkill': Ex-Scotland flanker John Hardie confirms retirement

Newcastle Falcons flanker John Hardie has announced he will retire from professional rugby at the end of the current season at just the age of 32. Capped 16 times by Scotland, his last appearance coming in 2017. Hardie has spent the past three seasons on Tyneside, making 30 appearances for the Falcons – his last in the defeat last month at Gallagher Premiership champions Exeter.
"I could play for another year or two, but with the way the body is and the time it takes to recover between games – I just think it's the right time to move on to a different career path," said Newcastle forward Hardie. "It has to happen sometime, so it is better that I decide it on my own terms. I feel like I'm playing good rugby and I just don't want to be hanging around or holding on for too long.
"With the way I play the game you have to throw everything into it and whereas it used to be one or two days to get over a game, now it is pretty much the full week until it is time to play again on the weekend. I won't miss waking up feeling like roadkill on a Sunday morning, but I have enjoyed my career and I've got nothing but gratitude for what rugby has given me."
Lions pick Finn Russell guests on the latest RugbyPass All Access
Newcastle director of rugby Dean Richards added: "I'd like to congratulate John on a fantastic career and personally thank him for his contribution during his three seasons with us. He has been an outstanding professional during that period, and as well as his exploits on the field he has passed on his knowledge and contributed towards a really positive culture among the squad."
Newcastle back-rower Hardie continued: "Professional rugby has been my life ever since the age of 17 or 18 when I signed my first contract, and it's given me so much. I owe an incredible amount to my family for the way they've supported me throughout, and it's taken me to some awesome places. I've made incredible friends who I'll stay in touch with and I have done so many cool things as a result of being involved with the sport.

— Newcastle Falcons (@FalconsRugby) June 8, 2021
"As a rugby player you're in such a privileged position and I have had 14 years of that, so I know I am incredibly lucky. I have had a lot of real highlights, starting with my local province of Southland, then Super Rugby with the Highlanders, coming over to Scotland and playing in a Rugby World Cup, and then my club rugby with Edinburgh and Newcastle Falcons. I've loved my time at Newcastle and it's great to be able to end my career with such an awesome set of boys.
"The plan is to stay with my partner in Edinburgh because she is from the UK and I have loved my time here. I'm just grateful to have had a career that has allowed me to travel around the world and have so many amazing experiences. I'm just finishing my studies in strength and conditioning, which is the sort of line I'm looking to go down in terms of my future career. Hopefully, that can be in a sports or high-performance setting, but as always I will just work hard and keep an open mind."

Q: How can I append zeroes in place of empty spaces after the decimal in a number? This is the question and I am stuck that how can I append zeroes in place of empty spaces after the decimal in java.
enter link description here

A: A java.text.DecimalFormat instance can do this for you, here is an example:
new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00000").format(1.23);    // => 1.23000
new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00000").format(.987643); // => 0.98764

A: You can use DecimalFormat#format to do so.
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.text.NumberFormat;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Define the formatter
        NumberFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("0.000000");

        // Tests
        System.out.println(formatter.format(0.3));
        System.out.println(formatter.format(123.3));
        System.out.println(formatter.format(0.335));
        System.out.println(formatter.format(0.0));
        System.out.println(formatter.format(1.0));
    }
}

Output:
0.300000
123.300000
0.335000
0.000000
1.000000

A: Any string formatter can do it.
 String s = String.format("%.30f", 1.23);

or
 System.out.printf("%.30f %n", 1.23);

Those examples give you 30 places after the decimal point.

AMAZING GRACE is a filmed record of the two nights, in January 1972, during which Aretha Franklin recorded the gospel performances that became the celebrated live double album "Amazing Grace." It remains not only the best-selling gospel record of all time, but the best-selling album of Franklin's 50-year career. She was then at the height of her stardom, with 20 albums and 11 number-one singles ("Respect," "Chain of Fools," "Think," etc.) under her belt, and she wanted to do a record that honoured the formative gospel roots of her youth.
Warner Bros. hired director Sydney Pollack to film the sessions, and we see Pollack wandering around the church, directing the action and at one point holding the camera. But for technical reasons, the project wound up getting shelved. Now lovingly restored and assembled, AMAZING GRACE can stand as an essential filmed record of what is undoubtedly one of the greatest gospel performances. Franklin was not just a great singer, as one reviewer noted, she was a human chariot.
With: Aretha Franklin, the Reverend James Cleveland, C.F. Franklin, the Southern California Community Choir plus cameos of Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts
AMAZING GRACE is two days of Baptist church condensed to 90 minutes and injected directly into your soul. – rogerebert.com
"One of the great music films." – The New York Times
Tickets: $11 Adult, $10 with Film Buff Card, $8 Youth.
All prices include HST.
Doors open 45 minutes before showtime. General admission seating, tickets at the door.

10 Reasons Why The Yankees Are America's Most Hated Team
by Curt Hogg under MLB
"Hating the New York Yankees is as American as apple pie, unwed mothers, and cheating on your income tax." —Chicago newspaper columnist Mike Royko
Face it. If you aren't a Yankees fan, then there will always be a sense, some sort of cognizance of hate towards them. Whether you are an extremist, hoping at all costs that the Yanks lose, or simply not a fan of them, everybody has had the feeling that they are sick of the Yankees.
For me, I have never hated the Bombers. But, being a baseball fan, it's hard to root for them in spite of all their success.
The Yankees and Boston Red Sox would make a good movie, "Neighbors Gone Bad."
That because fans of one loathe, hate, abhor, and are appalled by their sworn enemy. In Beantown and the Big Apple, there is no fence-sitting—you either root for one, or don't care at all.
We all know that the Yankees are the most hated sports team in America. Here is a list of the 10 main reasons why people love to hate them.
1. 27 World Championships
The Yankees have appeared in 38 percent of the World Series, winning 27 of them, or about 26 percent. The nearest franchise to them is St. Louis, far behind with 10 titles. Watching the Yankees win title after title can grow as old as watching paint dry.
People hate the Yankees for winning, and winning, and winning—it seems like it's all they ever do. Having the Bronx Bombers as favorites year after year grows old, as well. This is especially painful to fans of teams that have not experienced a World Series title.
2. The "Yankee Mystique"
From 1998 to 2001, New York went 9-0 at home during the World Series. Some claimed about a "Yankee mystique" that surrounded them, and pushed them to victory. While it is undeniable that playing at Yankee Stadium does give New York an advantage, many people don't believe there is anything mysterious about playing there in October.
This, however, was furthered in the 2001 World Series. After a one-run victory in Game Three, the Yankees were down 3-1 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, when Tino Martinez hit a game-tying homer. Derek Jeter won it with an opposite field homer in the 10th.
The same process repeated itself in Game Five, a tying home run with two out, followed by a winner in extra innings. No other team has had quite the amount of events happen in their ballpark that the Yankees have had.
3. Teams Hate to Play Them
Fans of American League teams do not enjoy playing New York, for the majority.
At home, the crowd will not be as partisan with Yankee supporters scattered across the bleachers. Along with this, they are good. Their pitching, hitting, fielding, and base-running consistently beat their opponents.
As an opposing fan, the Yankees are the last team that you want beating you. Unfortunately, this is what goes down.
4. The Boss
As much as Yankee haters dislike the team itself, the man formerly in charge was despised even more. Not only did George Steinbrenner spend as much money as it took to win, but struck controversy amidst the team.
His facial hair rule often created problems. Players such as Don Mattingly, Thurman Munson, Roy White, and Goose Gossage all were ordered to shave their facial hair. When Mattingly refused, he was benched.
Steinbrenner was known for his in-game managerial decisions made from the owner's box. He was given the nickname "Manager George" for these moves.
Many never liked Steinbrenner's demeanor, his insults, controversy, or hands-on owning, but there is no denying that the Yankees won have won seven titles during his reign.
5. All the Attention
It seems that you can't go channel surfing through the sports networks for 15 minutes without hearing about the Yankees.
Coming out of New York, and with a wide fan base, the Yanks are constantly the talk of the sports world, whether it be over a new signing, trade, or game recap. The vast New York City media undoubtedly contributes to all this.
Fans get tired of all the national attention given to the Yankees. It sometimes can get to a point when we baseball fans want highlights from other teams, as well. This adds to why people hate the Yankees.
6. The Big Apple
Who doesn't love the NYC?
Apparently, some people don't. They see that the Yankees play in the city, thus it can't be that great. The glitz and glamour there is unlike in any other city in the world.
How many other cities have songs written about them (no, little towns in Mississippi don't count)? The Big Apple has seemingly all the world's components wrapped into one huge metropolitan area, and a perennially winning baseball club gives the city even more.
Nearly a decade passed without seeing the New York Yankees winning a World Series. Almost.
If that had happened, we all might as well cry blasphemy on the baseball gods because the endowed Yankees must win a championship, right?
Well, the gods still find pleasure in watching the Yanks win. In 2009, they won World Series No. 27, a 4-2 series win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Just as fans were beginning to forget about their hatred toward the Yankees, because they were slowly becoming average, BOOM!, they were back on top.
Their championship renewed many people's hate toward the Yankees, including my mother's, who couldn't stand to watch any of the World Series. As the series ended, America collectively uttered, "NOT AGAIN!"
8. Pinstripes
There is something prestigious and dignifying about the white with black pinstripes that the Yankees sport. While other teams have pinstripe uniforms, these are the Yanks' home uniforms. There comes talk about how spectacular the pinstripes are; their classy look representing the Yankees.
This is the antithesis of those who despise the team. Pinstripes are just another way for them to pull themselves away from the pack, and stand out in the league. No other team's jersey has as much history as the Yankees, but those who don't like them consider that talk wish-wash.
9. The Empire
There is more to the Yankees than the team. The organization is the empire of the baseball world. They dominate revenue, pay roll, and championships. They can afford to put tickets at high prices, because it is assured that fans will come out night after night.
The Yankees are the epitome of a large-market team. The small-market teams don't even compare to the size and power of the Yankees.
They have built an empire in baseball that they are well aware of, and make it known to the league in multiple ways. The big businessmen are the ones running the Yankees. What the Yankees do garners much more attention than what any other organization does.
10. Shopping Spree
$206,333,389.
That is how much the Yankees will spend in 2010 on player salaries, not including player bonuses for performance. To put this is perspective, the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays spent about $70 million on salaries.
That's right. This year, New York will spend triple the amount that the Rays do. The Yankees can afford the big players that the Rays, or any other small-market team cannot.
Look at the names on the Yanks: Mark Teixera, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, Javier Vazquez, Curtis Granderson, Robinson Cano, Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada, Joba Chamberlain.
How many other teams can afford all of these players? Nine players on the Yankees will make over $10 million in 2010. Besides Boston, no other team could possibly afford this.
The Yankees' unlimited spending spree agitates numerous fans, including me.
While most teams are limited to one big-name free agent and other smaller ones, New York does not stop at one.

Steve Dodge, founder of Beverly-based Windover Development, died in a bike accident in Bonita Springs, Fla., on Wednesday, Jan. 16.
According to police, Dodge was riding on the sidewalk of a busy road when he attempted to cross the road at an angle. A car traveling in the same direction hit Dodge from behind. He was taken to Lee County Memorial, where he died from his injuries. Dodge was 73.
Dodge graduated from Yale University in 1967 before serving more than three years as an officer in the United States Navy.
In addition to Windover, Dodge founded several other companies over the course of his entrepreneurial career, including American Tower Corporation, American Radio Systems Corporation and American Cablesystems Corporation.
He retired from the business of running public companies in 2004. Dodge founded Windover Development, LLC, in 2003, followed by Windover Construction, both real estate development companies that focused on high-end housing in Florida and Massachusetts.
In November, Dodge was inducted into Wireless Infrastructure Association's Mobile Infrastructure Hall of Fame. During the ceremony, Jim Taiclet, chairman, president and CEO of American Tower, described Dodge as a "true trailblazer" for the tower industry, serving as an innovator throughout his 40-year career.
Dodge and his wife, Anne, were known for their philanthropy and became benefactors of Montserrat College and The Cabot in Beverly.
He leaves behind his wife, three children and five grandchildren.

This Underwater Leak Detector, is probably the best investment I have made since getting into underwater photography.
After a small port problem with my Ikelite housing, a leak started during a dive. Water was dripping just above the lens. The camera was still working fine, and I didn't see a problem until I noticed the flashing light of the Leak Detector, I went straight up and kept the housing as horizontal as possible.
The Underwater Leak Detector saved my camera and lens. Without it I would only have noticed the leak when the camera would have already been ruined.
I would never consider taking my camera & housing down without it.

U.S. says Iran directed convoy targeted by U.S. air strike in Syria | Reuters
By Phil Stewart
| WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON The United States said on Friday it believed Iran was directing an advancing convoy in southern Syria on Thursday targeted by military aircraft, a possible sign of increased tension between Washington and Tehran in the Syrian war.Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters at the Pentagon that the U.S. strike was defensive in nature. It was condemned by the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has the backing of Iran and Russia. A member of the U.S.-backed Syrian rebel forces told Reuters on Thursday the convoy comprised Syrian and Iranian-backed militias and was headed toward the garrison in Syria used by U.S. and U.S.-backed forces around the town of At Tanf.The United States determined that the convoy posed a threat."It was necessitated ... by offensive movement with offensive capability of what we believe were Iranian-directed - I don't know there were Iranians on the ground - but by Iranian-directed forces," Mattis said at a news conference.Rebel sources have warned of advances by Syrian army and Iranian-backed militia in the region near the strategic Damascus-Baghdad highway, which was once a major weapons supply route for Iranian weapons.
Mattis said he believed the Iranian-directed forces moved into the zone against the advice of Russia but that he was unable to confirm that with certainty."But it looks like the Russians tried to dissuade them," Mattis said.A Western intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, has said the strike sent a strong message to Iranian-backed militias that they would not be allowed to reach the Iraq border from Syria.
Syrian government negotiator Bashar al-Ja'afari said on Friday he had raised the incident with U.N. mediator Staffan de Mistura at peace talks in Geneva."We discussed the massacre that the U.S. aggressor committed yesterday in our country. This subject was widely discussed," Ja'afari told reporters.Thursday's air strike did not on its own suggest a shift in the U.S. military's focus in Syria, which has been on battling Islamic State militants.
But the latest move showed that the area around the Tanf garrison in southern Syria could be under pressure.U.S. Marine General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he had been working on ways to manage Syria's messy battlefield with Russia. There is no interaction between the U.S. and Syrian militaries. "We had a proposal that we're working on with the Russians right now. I won't share the details," Dunford said. "But my sense is that the Russians are as enthusiastic as we are to deconflict operations and ensure that we can continue to take the campaign to ISIS and ensure the safety of our personnel," he said, using an acronym for Islamic State.

Whilst this is not an exhaustive list of legal requirements it should give you an idea of the major legal requirement's to consider.
It is important to note if you property is for 3 or more people there may be specialist Housing of Multiple Occupancy legislation that you have to comply with, which is not detailed here.
Consent to Let: Many mortgages allow you to rent out your property, but equally many don't so it is important you seek approval from your lender as it may breach the terms of your agreement if you don't.
Restrictions in your leasehold agreement: This is not that common in the North East but if your property is a leasehold property there maybe restrictions when it comes to renting your property. This is most common in blocks of flats and if you are worried have a read of your lease.
Informing your insurance provider: Again you may or may not have a policy that covers you for rental, better be safe than sorry – so check your policy!
Signing the Tenancy Agreement: By instructing your Estate Agent you will create a Principal-Agent relationship which allows the agent to sign the agreement on your behalf. However, make sure you have given the agent the full details of who owns the property. The most likely type of tenancy agreement you will encounter is an Assured Short Hold Tenancy agreement (AST), which is largely governed by the 1988 Housing Act. Your agent should be able to answer your questions about the terms and conditions incorporated in the agreement.
Energy Performance Certificate: This gives an energy rating to your property and is a must before the property can be rented. A copy of this certificate must be provided to tenants free of charge prior to them moving in to the property. The good news is our Property Management Department can arrange this at a competitive rate and they are usually valid for 10 years.
Gas Safety Certificate: Under the Gas Safety Regulations 1998 if you let a property connected to a mains gas supply, you must arrange an annual maintenance check of gas pipe work, appliances and flues. This should be performed annually by an engineer registered with Gas Safe – formerly Corgi. At Pat Robson we can organise a Gas Safe Engineer who can provide this certificate at a competitive rate.
Electrical Installation Safety: The Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations 1994 require any electrical appliances left in a property to be safe. Again our Property Management Department can arrange a competitively priced Portable Appliance Test (PAT) or 5yr Electrical Certificate in order to comply with these regulations.
Fire Safety: All furniture provided must comply with the Furniture and Furnishings Regulations 1988. The regulations apply to a range of items, so to find out more information visit the government website detailed below.
Smoke Alarms: Since legislation in 2015 smoke alarms are now compulsory in rental properties and carbon monoxide detectors are also required in most.

A-level results not up to scratch? There are many paths into science
If you're worried about A-level results, it's worth remembering that the 'non-standard' career path into higher education is more standard than you might think
Erika Cule
Thu 16 Aug 2012 02.00 EDT First published on Thu 16 Aug 2012 02.00 EDT
Brian May probably didn't plan to interrupt his astrophysics PhD to become a rock star. He finally completed his thesis in 2007. Photograph: Dan Chung/Guardian
On Thursday morning, A-level students up and down the country will receive the results of the exams they took this summer. Much will be written, here at the Guardian and elsewhere, on what you can do if your results are worse, or better, than you had hoped. But what if your career path takes an unexpected turn not covered by the above?
Some months ago, an acquaintance, upon finding out where I studied, approached me and asked if I would have a word with her son who intended to apply to the same institution. The mother's primary concern was the effect of her own background on her son's application.
She had done her degree late in life, having had a different career first. She was not somebody who drifted to university straight out of school. She was worried about how her now-graduate status would be perceived by the admissions team, insisting that her path was not the standard one.
Not being an admissions tutor, I did not feel able to comment on that. But what I was able to reassure her was that, from what I had seen at university, despite the media's insistence that all A-level graduates look the same, there are many routes into higher education and beyond.
I had my own anxieties around the admissions process. When I applied, two years after completing my A-levels instead of the more traditional gap of zero to one years, I was plagued by anxiety that, by the time I matriculated, I would be old. I would stand out among the fresh-faced and sprightly 18 and 19-year-olds as the only one who had entered their third decade.
As any adult will be able to tell you, my fears were ill-founded. While, perhaps, the majority of students on my course came straight from school or a gap year, there were plenty of us who had taken a more circuitous route. Students who had started a different course, completing one or two years before deciding that that subject was not for them, joined us in our first year. Students who had failed to pass first years elsewhere, students from overseas whose compulsory schooling lasted longer, career-changers and mature students all formed part of the mix. The one time anyone commented on my age was when I handed them an invitation to my birthday party. They looked at me incredulously:
"How come you're going to be twenty-one?"
(Well, 21 years and nine months ago … began my bristly reply.)
I arrived at university with ambitions of becoming a laboratory scientist – they said I suited the white lab coat and goggles. But my hopes of a career in the "wet-lab" blew up in my face, almost literally in one case. Through weekly laboratory practicals, it became apparent that, while I could understand the theory behind the experiment we were doing, the practice was beyond me. I became dependent on my lab partner to do the pipetting and mixing, with me reading and interpreting the directions and writing up the results. I hung up my lab coat as soon as I could. Discussing which among a choice of modules I would study in my final year, one lecturer, himself heavily involved in "wet-lab" experiments, objected:
"But, but … you're going to be doing a desk job!"
I did not plan to study for a PhD, either, but computational biology suited me so I took the opportunity. The so-called standard path to being an academic scientist is long: undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, followed by one or more fixed-term training contracts before securing a permanent position.
While this route is well-trodden, plenty of people deviate from it but nonetheless achieve notable success. My blogging colleague Stephen, now a university professor, previously embarked on a career in management. Jenny took advantage of the unexpected loss of her job to write a novel. Sylvia's background is even more unconventional!
Approaching the end of my PhD, I can unreservedly say I have learned a great deal. Seven years ago, when I filled in my UCAS application, I did not picture myself completing a doctoral thesis. While I have an idea of what I will do once I graduate, I now find it easier to accept uncertainty in the path that I will take.
So, if your A-level results throw you a curveball, or you end up taking a circuitous route into your career, don't fret. The non-standard path is more standard than you might think.

Students across the country are today receiving their A-Level results. But how did you do, and how did your results affect where you are today?
A-level results: 32% of Northern Irish students achieve As

Malaga fest honours Cuerda and Marsillach
The Spanish Film Festival of Malaga is set to pay tribute to director-producer Jose Luis Cuerda and actor Adolfo Marsillach at its fifth annual edition, to be held a month earlier than usual this year (April 26 to May 4).
Acclaimed director of 1999's Butterfly (La Lengua De Las Mariposas) and 1987's The Enchanted Forest (El Bosque Animado), Cuerda is also known internationally as the producer who discovered director Alejandro Amenabar. Cuerda backed Amenabar's Thesis, Open Your Eyes and most recently The Others.
Marsillach, who passed away earlier this year, was a veteran stage and cinema actor. In 1959 he won a best actor award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival for his work in Leon Klimowsky's Salto A La Gloria. More recently, Marshillach had acted as director of the Spanish Theater, Spain's National Dramatic Center and the National Classic Theater Company.
The Malaga event this year will inaugurate a Market Screenings mini-market for all new Spanish productions. The Screenings will run May 2-4 following the festival's existing documentary market, Mercadoc, April 28-30.

Pat Jennings says he was 'very lucky'. He got away with it. He's the goalkeeping great who played for both sides of the North London divide and is still loved by both sets of fans.
Make no bones about it, Pat sees himself as Tottenham Hotspur through and through. No questions asked. So it speaks volumes for the man that our friends from N5 haven't a bad word to say about him. The feeling from Pat, of course, is mutual.
The legendary figure is still out there on the training pitch at Spurs Lodge, passing his knowledge to goalkeepers at the age of 57, fully 38 years after his first North London derby in 1964.
As the class of 2002 prepare to do battle again at Highbury on Saturday, the Northern Ireland hero happily took a couple of minutes out to look back at derbies gone by.
"It was always the fixture that Bill Nicholson said if we were only going to win two games all season, those were the two in the season we had to win," Pat reflected.
"It was the same in Bill's time as a player and something that has continued through the years.
"It's the same up and down the country of course. We've just seen it in the Manchester derby, Liverpool-Everton, that's the great thing about football, that rivalry.
"It always meant a lot to me because Bill Nicholson always said how important the derby games were.
"The fact that I spent so many years at the club meant it meant more to me as well.
"You know how important it is to the supporters, whatever team you play for. You can't get away from that when you live in the area.
"Wherever you go for up to two weeks beforehand people are starting to talk about it and the whole build up to the match takes over. New players who play in the derby, foreign players coming in, they can't believe the atmosphere.
"Perhaps players who aren't at the club that long, it doesn't mean as much. You then appreciate how much it means to the fans. The sad thing was that the games always seemed to be over Christmas and if you lost, it could ruin your Christmas!"
Pat made the short move to Highbury in 1977.
"I was surplus to requirements at Tottenham when I left," he explained.
"I was going to Ipswich but unfortunately for Trevor Whymark, he broke his leg in a pre-season game in Holland and Bobby Robson rang me back to say that he had to buy an outfield player instead.
"Arsenal went well for me. There was an Irish connection there, that helped. We had great times, four cup finals in my first three years, fantastic times for me when I was supposed to be finished.
"But I can remember going to Arsenal a year before that, as a Spurs player, when I was Footballer of the Year and got a fantastic reception.
"I don't go there too often now, but I've always got a good welcome. Most people realise that I'm a Tottenham man through and through, but I would never criticise Arsenal."
There is no doubt as to where Pat's loyalty lies before Saturday's clash.
"I'm hoping we can win," he added. "We're coming off a bad week, Burnley and Sunderland, a disappointing week.
"We'd promised so much in recent games against Liverpool, Chelsea, that we thought this could be our week. But the opposite has happened.
"But form counts little in a derby. The lads will be up for it. It's a tough game but hopefully we can get something out of it.
"If we manage to do that, it will give everyone at the club and the fans a massive lift."

The future of language advising at UK universities
Written by Victoria Ucele
On Thursday 19 May, Leeds University held a series of talks on the future of language advising at UK universities.
The event was led by Professor Mozzon-McPherson from the University of Hull, a lead player in the language advising arena since managing project SMILE (Strategies for Managing an Independent Learning Environment) in 1997. One of Hull's five-strong team of Advisers, Vincenzo Alfano, accompanied her, and Leeds University's expert in the field, Jadzia Terlecka, also played a key role.
The session was split into three parts. Marina first talked about her vision for the future of language advising; Vincenzo then discussed his own personal experiences in the role; and finally Jadzia led an interactive workshop based around scenarios she had encountered.
The focal point of the day was how Advisers can assist students in becoming more independent language learners. This involved encouraging them to move into the 'role of expert ', focus on self-reflection and skilful use of dialogue as a pedagogic tool. They also talked about how Language [Learning] Advisers should not 'lead' students as such, but set the conditions for autonomous learning by developing their strengths, strategies and resources. Learning from the skills and role of Counsellor/Coach was considered key to this process, and Vincenzo in particular talked about the different methods and activities he had employed for this purpose. These included advisory sessions, workshops and worksheets based on specific learning strategies.
There was some discussion around the necessity of Language Advisers. Some argued, for instance, that teachers already give the advice and use the strategies associated with the job within their language classes. Others argued that this may be the case in some languages, but research shows that this is still not embedded in teacher training. Therefore, is the role of Language Learning Adviser actually required if many elements may already be fulfilled? The speakers also considered the importance of links between the institution, the classroom and advising itself. They talked about how synergies could be created with other teaching and learning support services within an institution, and how these can greatly influence the level of autonomy language learners can achieve.
Finally, the day ended with an open discussion led by Jadzia on some of the situations she had faced since becoming a Language Learning Adviser in Leeds.
Professor Mozzon-McPherson began her work as an Open Learning Adviser for Languages at the University of Hull in 1993. She went on to manage a national project SMILE (Strategies for Managing an Independent Learning Environment) in 1997, focused on advising and independent learning. This led to numerous publications on language advising practice, as well as the development of a network of language learning advisors at various universities. She has also developed an online postgraduate qualification for language learning advisors at the University of Hull. She is currently collaborating on international project focusing on the professionalization of advisers and integration of advising skills into the training of language teachers.
Vincenzo Alfano is a Language Adviser and Italian tutor at the University of Hull. He started in 2006, and has since completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Language Advising, and an MA in Language Learning and Technology.
Jadzia Terlecka has recently retired from being a Language Learning Adviser and English Tutor at the University of Leeds. She began as a foreign language teacher in Russian, Polish, French, and later started teaching English, initially in prisons and the community. She joined the Leeds University Language Centre in 2001, and created the role of Language Learning Adviser there in 2004.

Throughout the 2018 season, the North Allegheny Girls Lacrosse team crafted a few second half comebacks, but late game heroics were not in the cards Wednesday night as the Tigers fell 12-11 to the North Hills Indians at home. The loss eliminates the Tigers from postseason play.
Early on, junior Brooke Ferringer started off the scoring at 24:21. North Hills responded quickly and took the lead on goals from Mikayla Simms and Gianna Dipaolo. Ferringer then netted her second of the evening at 20:52 tying the game at 2-2. North Hills scored four straight goals to take a 6-2 advantage with 15 minutes left in the first half. Freshman Katie Oates responded on a free position at 13:31 to cut the lead in half at 6-3. Two more Indian goals from Julea Jamison and Mikayla Simms made the score 8-3 with 9 minutes left in the half. Nicole Atkinson added another goal for NA while Jamison netted a hat trick for the Indians, extending the lead to 9-4.
The Tigers then stormed back into the contest to make the score 9-8 with four straight goals from Ferringer, Ryley McCellan, Oates and Lexi McClure. With just 21 seconds left in the first, Mikayla Simms scored a hat trick for North Hills giving the Indians a 10-8 lead at the half.
In the second half, both defenses buckled down to slow the scoring pace. With 16 minutes left, Gianna Dipaolo netted her fourth goal of the game to extend the lead to 11-8. Junior Val Davis trimmed the North Hill lead to two with a goal at 14:29. Atkinson scored her second of the game at 10:32, making the score 11-10. Three minutes later Dipaolo scored her fifth of the night, extending the Indian lead to 12-10. Ferringer tallied her fourth goal with just 1:41 left giving the Tigers a chance to tie the game. With 50 seconds remaining and possession in the hands of NA, Oates drove the left lane and took a shot that was snagged by Indian netminder Maura Ruprecht. North Hills held on to possession to end the game.
Ferringer ends the season with a team leading 58 goals. Oates finishes second in scoring with 31 goals.
North Allegheny ends the season with a 4-8 record in Section 3-AAA play (7-9 overall.) North Hills heads to the playoffs in fourth place in the section at 6-6 (8-8 overall.) The Indians also earned the series sweep for the 2018 season.

11 Systems Engineering and Project Management Process Modeling in the Aeronautics Context: Case Study of SMEs
Authors: S. Lemoussu, J. C. Chaudemar, R. A. Vingerhoeds
The aeronautics sector is currently living an unprecedented growth largely due to innovative projects. In several cases, such innovative developments are being carried out by Small and Medium sized-Enterprises (SMEs). For instance, in Europe, a handful of SMEs are leading projects like airships, large civil drones, or flying cars. These SMEs have all limited resources, must make strategic decisions, take considerable financial risks and in the same time must take into account the constraints of safety, cost, time and performance as any commercial organization in this industry. Moreover, today, no international regulations fully exist for the development and certification of this kind of projects. The absence of such a precise and sufficiently detailed regulatory framework requires a very close contact with regulatory instances. But, SMEs do not always have sufficient resources and internal knowledge to handle this complexity and to discuss these issues. This poses additional challenges for those SMEs that have system integration responsibilities and that must provide all the necessary means of compliance to demonstrate their ability to design, produce, and operate airships with the expected level of safety and reliability. The final objective of our research is thus to provide a methodological framework supporting SMEs in their development taking into account recent innovation and institutional rules of the sector. We aim to provide a contribution to the problematic by developing a specific Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach. Airspace regulation, aeronautics standards and international norms on systems engineering are taken on board to be formalized in a set of models. This paper presents the on-going research project combining Systems Engineering and Project Management process modeling and taking into account the metamodeling problematic.

10 Increasing Performance of Autopilot Guided Small Unmanned Helicopter
Authors: Tugrul Oktay, Mehmet Konar, Mustafa Soylak, Firat Sal, Murat Onay, Orhan Kizilkaya
In this paper, autonomous performance of a small manufactured unmanned helicopter is tried to be increased. For this purpose, a small unmanned helicopter is manufactured in Erciyes University, Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics. It is called as ZANKA-Heli-I. For performance maximization, autopilot parameters are determined via minimizing a cost function consisting of flight performance parameters such as settling time, rise time, overshoot during trajectory tracking. For this purpose, a stochastic optimization method named as simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation is benefited. Using this approach, considerable autonomous performance increase (around %23) is obtained.
Keywords: Small helicopters, hierarchical control, stochastic optimization, autonomous performance maximization, autopilots.

9 Static Single Point Positioning Using The Extended Kalman Filter
Authors: I. Sarras, G. Gerakios, A. Diamantis, A. I. Dounis, G. P. Syrcos
Global Positioning System (GPS) technology is widely used today in the areas of geodesy and topography as well as in aeronautics mainly for military purposes. Due to the military usage of GPS, full access and use of this technology is being denied to the civilian user who must then work with a less accurate version. In this paper we focus on the estimation of the receiver coordinates ( X, Y, Z ) and its clock bias ( δtr ) of a fixed point based on pseudorange measurements of a single GPS receiver. Utilizing the instantaneous coordinates of just 4 satellites and their clock offsets, by taking into account the atmospheric delays, we are able to derive a set of pseudorange equations. The estimation of the four unknowns ( X, Y, Z , δtr ) is achieved by introducing an extended Kalman filter that processes, off-line, all the data collected from the receiver. Higher performance of position accuracy is attained by appropriate tuning of the filter noise parameters and by including other forms of biases.
Keywords: Extended Kalman filter, GPS, Pseudorange
8 A Strategic Evaluation Approach for Defining the Maturity of Manufacturing Technologies
Authors: G. Reinhart, S. Schindler
Due to dynamic evolution, the ability of a manufacturing technology to produce a special product is changing. Therefore, it is essential to monitor the established techniques and processes to detect whether a company-s production will fit future circumstances. Concerning the manufacturing technology planning process, companies must decide when to change to a new technology for maintaining and increasing competitive advantages. In this context, the maturity assessment of the focused technologies is crucial. This article presents an approach for defining the maturity of a manufacturing technology from a strategic point of view. The concept is based on the approach of technology readiness level (TRL) according to NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), but also includes dynamic changes. Therefore, the model takes into account the concept of the technology life cycle. Furthermore, it enables a company to estimate the ideal date for implementation of a new manufacturing technology.
Keywords: Maturity Assessment, Manufacturing Technology Planning, Technology Life Cycle, Technology Readiness Level.
7 Aerodynamic Coefficients Prediction from Minimum Computation Combinations Using OpenVSP Software
Authors: Marine Segui, Ruxandra Mihaela Botez
OpenVSP is an aerodynamic solver developed by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that allows building a reliable model of an aircraft. This software performs an aerodynamic simulation according to the angle of attack of the aircraft makes between the incoming airstream, and its speed. A reliable aerodynamic model of the Cessna Citation X was designed but it required a lot of computation time. As a consequence, a prediction method was established that allowed predicting lift and drag coefficients for all Mach numbers and for all angles of attack, exclusively for stall conditions, from a computation of three angles of attack and only one Mach number. Aerodynamic coefficients given by the prediction method for a Cessna Citation X model were finally compared with aerodynamics coefficients obtained using a complete OpenVSP study.
Keywords: Aerodynamic, coefficient, cruise, improving, longitudinal, OpenVSP, solver, time.
6 Effect of Mode Loading on FCRG Plate with Double Through Crack at Hole
Authors: M. Benachour, N. Benachour, M. Benguediab, A. Hadjoui
The knowledge of the nature of loading is very important in order to hold account on the total behavior such as vibration, shock, fatigue, etc. Fatigue present 90% of failure when loadings fatigues are very complex. In this paper a study of double through crack at hole for plate subjected to fatigue loading is presented. Various modes loading are studied where the applied load is the same one. The fatigue life is given where the effect of stress ratio is highlighted. This work is conducted on aluminum alloy 2024 T351 used for much aerospace and aeronautics applications. The fatigue crack growth behavior with constant amplitude is studied using the AFGROW code when Forman model is applied. The fatigue crack growth rate and fatigue life for different loading modes are compared with variation of others geometrical parameter such as thickness and dimensions of notch hole.
Keywords: Fatigue crack, mode loading, aluminum alloy
5 Guided Wave Sensitivity for De-Bond Defects in Aluminum Skin-Honeycomb Core
Authors: A. Satour, F. Boubenider, R. Halimi, A. Badidibouda
Sandwich plates are finding an increasing range of application in the aircraft industry. The inspection of honeycomb composite structure by conventional ultrasonic technique is complex and very time consuming. The present study demonstrates a technique using guided Lamb waves at low frequencies to predict de-bond defects in aluminum skin-honeycomb core sandwich structure used in aeronautics. The numerical method was investigated for drawing the dispersion and displacement curves of ultrasonic Lamb wave propagated in Aluminum plate. An experimental study was carried out to check the theoretical prediction. The detection of unsticking between the skin and the core was tested by the two first modes for a low frequency. It was found that A0 mode is more sensitive to delamination defect compared to S0 mode.
Keywords: Damage detection, delamination, guided waves, Sandwich structure.
4 Evaluation Performance of PID, LQR, Pole Placement Controllers for Heat Exchanger
Authors: Mohamed Essahafi, Mustapha Ait Lafkih
In industrial environments, the heat exchanger is a necessary component to any strategy of energy conversion. Much of thermal energy used in industrial processes passes at least one times by a heat exchanger, and methods systems recovering thermal energy. This survey paper tries to presents in a systemic way an sample control of a heat exchanger by comparison between three controllers LQR (linear quadratic regulator), PID (proportional, integrator and derivate) and Pole Placement. All of these controllers are used mainly in industrial sectors (chemicals, petrochemicals, steel, food processing, energy production, etc…) of transportation (automotive, aeronautics), but also in the residential sector and tertiary (heating, air conditioning, etc...) The choice of a heat exchanger, for a given application depends on many parameters: field temperature and pressure of fluids, and physical properties of aggressive fluids, maintenance and space. It is clear that the fact of having an exchanger appropriate, well-sized, well made and well used allows gain efficiency and energy processes.
Keywords: LQR linear-quadratic regulator, PID control, Pole Placement, Heat exchanger.
3 Micro-Hydrokinetic for Remote Rural Electrification
Authors: S. P. Koko, K. Kusakana, H. J. Vermaak
Standalone micro-hydrokinetic river (MHR) system is one of the promising technologies to be used for remote rural electrification. It simply requires the flow of water instead of elevation or head, leading to expensive civil works. This paper demonstrates an economic benefit offered by a standalone MHR system when compared to the commonly used standalone systems such as solar, wind and diesel generator (DG) at the selected study site in Kwazulu Natal. Wind speed and solar radiation data of the selected rural site have been taken from national aeronautics and space administration (NASA) surface meteorology database. The hybrid optimization model for electric renewable (HOMER) software was used to determine the most feasible solution when using MHR, solar, wind or DG system to supply 5 rural houses. MHR system proved to be the best cost-effective option to consider at the study site due to its low cost of energy (COE) and low net present cost (NPC).

2 Influence of Thermal Damage on the Mechanical Strength of Trimmed CFRP
Authors: Guillaume Mullier, Jean François Chatelain
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRPs) are widely used for advanced applications, in particular in aerospace, automotive and wind energy industries. Once cured to near net shape, CFRP parts need several finishing operations such as trimming, milling or drilling in order to accommodate fastening hardware and meeting the final dimensions. The present research aims to study the effect of the cutting temperature in trimming on the mechanical strength of high performance CFRP laminates used for aeronautics applications. The cutting temperature is of great importance when dealing with trimming of CFRP. Temperatures higher than the glass-transition temperature (Tg) of the resin matrix are highly undesirable: they cause degradation of the matrix in the trimmed edges area, which can severely affect the mechanical performance of the entire component. In this study, a 9.50mm diameter CVD diamond coated carbide tool with six flutes was used to trim 24-plies CFRP laminates. A 300m/min cutting speed and 1140mm/min feed rate were used in the experiments. The tool was heated prior to trimming using a blowtorch, for temperatures ranging from 20°C to 300°C. The temperature at the cutting edge was measured using embedded KType thermocouples. Samples trimmed for different cutting temperatures, below and above Tg, were mechanically tested using three-points bending short-beam loading configurations. New cutting tools as well as worn cutting tools were utilized for the experiments. The experiments with the new tools could not prove any correlation between the length of cut, the cutting temperature and the mechanical performance. Thus mechanical strength was constant, regardless of the cutting temperature. However, for worn tools, producing a cutting temperature rising up to 450°C, thermal damage of the resin was observed. The mechanical tests showed a reduced mean resistance in short beam configuration, while the resistance in three point bending decreases with increase of the cutting temperature.

1 Comparison between Open and Closed System for Dewatering with Geotextile: Field and Comparative Study
Authors: Matheus Müller, Delma Vidal
The present paper aims to expose two techniques of dewatering for sludge, analyzing its operations and dewatering processes, aiming at improving the conditions of disposal of residues with high liquid content. It describes the field tests performed on two geotextile systems, a closed geotextile tube and an open geotextile drying bed, both of which are submitted to two filling cycles. The sludge used in the filling cycles for the field trials is from the water treatment plant of the Technological Center of Aeronautics – CTA, in São José dos Campos, Brazil. Data about volume and height abatement due to the dewatering and consolidation were collected per time, until it was observed constancy. With the laboratory analysis of the sludge allied to the data collected in the field, it was possible to perform a critical comparative study between the observed and the scientific literature, in this way, this paper expresses the data obtained and compares them with the bibliography. The tests were carried out on three fronts: field tests, including the filling cycles of the systems with the sludge from CTA, taking measurements of filling time per cycle and maximum filling height per cycle, heights against the abatement by dewatering of the systems over time; tests carried out in the laboratory, including the characterization of the sludge and removal of material samples from the systems to ascertain the solids content within the systems per time and; comparing the data obtained in the field and laboratory tests with the scientific literature. Through the study, it was possible to perceive that the process of densification of the material inside a closed system, such as the geotextile tube, occurs faster than the observed in the drying bed system. This process of accelerated densification can be brought about by the pumping pressure of the sludge in its filling and by the confinement of the residue through the permeable geotextile membrane (allowing water to pass through), accelerating the process of densification and dewatering by its own weight after the filling with sludge.
