Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering
|
The Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
|
It covers all aspects of civil engineering related to ocean, coastal, and river waters.
|
The journal is abstracted and indexed in Civil Engineering Database, EBSCO databases, Ei Compendex, Inspec, ProQuest databases, Science Citation Index Expanded, and Scopus.
|
The "Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers" was established in 1874 as the official journal of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
|
By 1956, the society's growth and specialization required more coverage, and the journal was split into 12 specialized journals.
|
The journal has undergone several name changes since:

Lower Lea Valley Cable Tunnels
|
The Lower Lea Valley Cable Tunnels, known as the PLUG (Power Line Under Ground) Project during construction, are a pair of 6 km cable tunnels running beneath the lower Lea Valley in east London.
|
Constructed at a cost of £130m ahead of the 2012 London Olympic Games, they are owned by National Grid plc and UK Power Networks.
|
The two tunnels run south from Hackney substation to West Ham substation at a depth of 20-30m below ground.
|
One tunnel is 4.15m in diameter and carries a 400 kV circuit as part of the National Grid, while the other tunnel is 2.82m in diameter and carries a 132 kV circuit as part of the London power distribution network.
|
The UK Power Networks tunnel also features an 850m spur tunnel to link it to the substation in Bow.
|
The tunnels replaced two overground power lines which crossed the area which would be turned into the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
|
The cable tunnels were one of the first major projects for the London Olympics, and was critical to allow subsequent work on the Olympic Park to continue on schedule.
|
After the tunnels were commissioned, the 52 pylons and 80km of overhead wires were removed and recycled.
|
More than 200,000 cubic metres of spoil was generated, the majority of which was reused in the construction of the Olympic Park.

Scott Spinelli
|
Scott Spinelli is an American college basketball coach who is currently an assistant coach of the Boston College men's basketball team.
|
He previously held the same position at Texas A&M, and Maryland.
|
Scott Spinelli was born in Leominster, Massachusetts.
|
He is a 1989 graduate of Boston University, where he was a member of the basketball team under coach Mike Jarvis, helping the Terriers advance to the NCAA tournament in 1988.
|
Widely regarded as one of the top assistant coaches in college basketball, Spinelli has earned a reputation as an excellent recruiter and game tactician during a career that has seen him have success at every level of basketball.
|
He began his coaching career on the prep level in 1990 at Milford Academy, where he spent three seasons as head coach and coached several Division I prospects.
|
In 1993, Spinelli started the basketball program at The Winchendon School in Winchendon, Mass., where in the first three years of the program's history, he led them to two appearances in the NEPSAC Class A Tournament championship game.
|
Spinelli also produced numerous Division I players at Winchendon, including former McDonald's All-American Randell Jackson, who played in the NBA with the Washington Wizards and Dallas Mavericks.
|
During Spinelli's three seasons under Barry Collier at Nebraska, the Cornhuskers reached the postseason twice.
|
Collier is now the Athletic Director at Butler University and the man responsible for hiring Brad Stevens.
|
Spinelli then served as the associate head coach at Wichita State University during the 2006-2007 season.
|
This became the first of three schools that he served as assistant coach under head coach Mark Turgeon.
|
The Shockers were ranked as high as #8 in the AP Poll and were victorious over George Mason, LSU and Syracuse on the road.
|
After former Texas A&M head men's basketball coach Billy Gillispie left to coach at Kentucky, Turgeon was immediately hired as head coach of the Aggies on April 10, 2007, thus bringing Spinelli with him to serve as his top assistant.
|
Turgeon and Spinelli acquired all of Gillispie's recruits for the 2007–08 season, including 5 star-rated DeAndre Jordan.
|
The Aggies started the season ranked 14th in the preseason Coaches Poll.
|
Spinelli enjoyed great success during his four-year stint as an assistant at Texas A&M.
|
From 2007-2011, the Aggies had their greatest four-year win total in school history.
|
The program also won the 2007 NIT Preseason Tip-Off and earned a berth to the NCAA Tournament all four years, while advancing to the round of 32 in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
|
In May 2011, Turgeon met with his coaching staff and players to inform them that half an hour earlier he accepted the head coach position at the University of Maryland.
|
Turgeon quickly offered Spinelli a position on his staff at Maryland, which was accepted.
|
While at Maryland, Spinelli helped the program land three recruiting classes, all nationally ranked in the top 25, including a top 10 class in 2014.
|
The 2012-13 Terrapins won 25 games and reached an NIT Final Four.
|
They were also the only program in the country to beat Duke twice in that season, with Spinelli having the game scout each time.
|
In 2014, it was announced that Spinelli had accepted an assistant coaching position at Boston College under head coach Jim Christian.
|
During the 2017-2018 season, the Eagles knocked off #1 ranked Duke, marking the third time in Spinelli's career that his scouting report took down the Blue Devils.
|
Spinelli is regarded as one of the top recruiters in the country, who has the unique ability to find "diamonds in the rough."
|
A defier of player rankings, Spinelli has proven numerous times that he can turn unheralded recruits into NBA stars.
|
Spinelli's impact has been felt at all of his coaching stops.
|
While at Nebraska, Spinelli signed two nationally ranked recruiting classes and recruited all Big 12 selection Aleks Maric.
|
Collier, the head coach at the time stated, “The leadership part is being able to find students that fit ability-wise and character-wise.
|
I think Scott (can do) both.
|
“This is a whole thing about treating people the right way, and he does that.”
|
Spinelli has now sent players to the National Basketball Association (NBA) from three different schools.
|
While at Texas A&M, Spinelli recruited current Milwaukee Bucks All-star Khris Middleton and current Brooklyn Nets star DeAndre Jordan.
|
Over the years, Middleton has credited Spinelli for getting him to where he is today.
|
“Coach Spinelli is one of the best coaches I have had.
|
He has a great command and passion in his ability to recruit top level talent, but also develop and motivate that talent to reach its full potential.
|
It is exactly what he was able to do for me.
|
He is one of the main reasons I’m able to fulfill my dream of playing in the NBA.” Middleton scored a career-high 51 points in a Bucks win over the Washington Wizards on January 28th, 2020.
|
As an assistant coach under Turgeon at Maryland, Spinelli recruited current Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len and Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jake Layman.
|
Turgeon said, “Scott is a terrific recruiter and teacher.
|
He is very passionate and has a strong feel for the game.
|
Scott has been successful at every stop and is more than ready to lead a program.
|
Scott is a bulldog recruiter with tremendous connections across the country.
|
He is also an excellent coach with a tremendous basketball mind."
|
In his current position at Boston College, Spinelli was the lead recruiter of current Los Angeles Clippers forward Jerome Robinson and Golden State Warriors guard Ky Bowman.
|
Robinson was drafted with the 13th overall pick in the 2018 draft, becoming the first ever lottery pick out of Boston College.
|
When Robinson was selected by the Clippers, he said, “Coach Spinelli has changed my life more than any coach I have ever had.
|
From Day 1, as an unheralded HS recruit, he had a vision for me to reach my full potential.
|
While many may have visions, Coach Spinelli also has the knowledge, experience, and positive energy that kept me focused and working not only towards achieving my dream of playing in the NBA, but making me a complete athlete, socially & academically.
|
Coach believes in being prepared for when the ball stops bouncing also!
|
If it was not for him, and his belief in me, I would not be where I am today.
|
Forever my coach, friend, mentor, and part of my family!”

Neulehrer
|
Neulehrer (literally "new teachers" is the name given to the educational personnel graduating from a course that isn't integrated in a degree, introduced by the Allies in the four occupation zones of Germany from 1945 to 1949.
|
The allied goal was to substitute all teachers influenced by a Nazi past in German schools and guarantee that the German youth would receive a pro-democracy education (→ Reeducation and Denazification.
|
For the recovery of education after the end of the Second World War in Germany, the path to teaching was opened to graduates through short courses, and in the Soviet occupation zone also to young workers.
|
All persons who could demonstrate having an academic degree were accepted into the program, as long as they had no link with the Nazi Party or with its state organs.
|
The program mainly taught pedagogy as it was known at the time, so that in a few months the students could work as teachers.
|
In the Soviet occupation zone the courses normally lasted 4 to 8 months, often in specially designed schools, where young workers were specially promoted.
|
In the western occupation zones all universities opened pedagogy courses that graduated new teachers at maximum in one year.
|
Although in the first school year a few teachers with a Nazi past were still tolerated, the directives for their stay in their jobs gradually became more strict.
|
In the western occupation zones starting from 1947 some teachers with dubious pasts could return to teaching after the "Entbräunungskursen" (Denazification courses), while in the Soviet occupation the programme was so extensive that a large part of the existing teacher corps was remplaced by approximately 40,000 new teachers.
|
Although the old teachers questioned the quality of a professional retraining of at maximum one year, thanks to the general academical formation of the new teachers the result was good enough and allowed for a stable job for members of professions that had no other alternatives in post-war Germany.
|
The large majority of the new teachers remained for a large time in their new jobs.
|
In the Soviet occupation zone the introduction of new teachers also served to guarantee the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) control over school education.
|
In 1949 already 67.8% of teaching positions were filled by new teachers.
|
47.7% of these teachers belonged to the SED, and 13% to the LDP and 10% to the east German Christian Democratic Union, the later two being bloc parties under SED control.
|
In that way the SED achieved ample control over school education.
