A side-stick or sidestick controller is an aircraft control column (or joystick) that is located on the side console of the pilot, usually on the righthand side, or outboard on a two-seat flightdeck. Typically this is found in aircraft that are equipped with fly-by-wire control systems.
The throttle controls are typically located to the left of the pilot (or centrally on a two-seat flightdeck). Only one hand may thus be used for the stick, and both-hands operation is neither possible nor required.
The side-stick is used in many modern military fighter aircraft, such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, Mitsubishi F-2, Dassault Rafale, and F-22 Raptor, and also on civil aircraft, such as the Sukhoi Superjet 100, Airbus A320 and later Airbus aircraft, including the largest passenger jet in service, the Airbus A380.
This arrangement contrasts with the more conventional design where the stick is located in the centre of the cockpit between the pilot's legs, called a "centre stick".
In the centre stick design, both the pilot's and co-pilot's controls are mechanically connected together so that each pilot has a sense of the control inputs of the other. In typical Airbus side-stick implementations, the sticks are independent. The plane's computer either aggregates multiple inputs or a pilot can press a "priority button" to lock out inputs from the other side-stick.
Side (Greek: Σίδη) is an ancient Greek city on the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey, a resort town and one of the best-known classical sites in the country. It lies near Manavgat and the village of Selimiye, 78 km from Antalya in the province of Antalya.
It is located on the eastern part of the Pamphylian coast, which lies about 20 km east of the mouth of the Eurymedon River. Today, as in antiquity, the ancient city is situated on a small north-south peninsula about 1 km long and 400 m across.
Strabo and Arrian both record that Side was founded by Greek settlers from Cyme in Aeolis, a region of western Anatolia. This most likely occurred in the 7th century BC. Its tutelary deity was Athena, whose head adorned its coinage.
Dating from the tenth century B.C., its coinage bore the head of Athena (Minerva), the patroness of the city, with a legend. Its people, a piratical horde, quickly forgot their own language to adopt that of the aborigines.
Possessing a good harbour for small-craft boats, Side's natural geography made it one of the most important places in Pamphylia and one of the most important trade centres in the region. According to Arrian, when settlers from Cyme came to Side, they could not understand the dialect. After a short while, the influence of this indigenous tongue was so great that the newcomers forgot their native Greek and started using the language of Side. Excavations have revealed several inscriptions written in this language. The inscriptions, dating from the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, remain undeciphered, but testify that the local language was still in use several centuries after colonisation. Another object found in the excavations at Side, a basalt column base from the 7th century BC and attributable to the Neo-Hittites, provides further evidence of the site's early history. The name Side may be Anatolian in origin, meaning pomegranate.

Sometimes, I cant handle the cold/
Ill break another heart too fragile to hold/
Love dies, Im standing alone,
painting false hopes is a habit Ive grown/
Come find, why I said I dont love you/
and instead I was humbled and content with the
struggle/
That you gave me, and said that I was crazy/
Words became chains and love became safety/
I saw trust until I lost the view...
And then I lost faith in us like I always do/
I refused, to complement your weakness/
Through all our ups and downs til I was sea-sick/
...Flashbacks I remember so well, we both held/
In November, when the snow fell/
But that changed, you were not a friend to me/
I distorted and soon I lost identity/
And when we fought and I tried to break the innocence/
You said lies, and I became a hypocrite/
You tried to hold the sadness when you grabbed tight/
(But I moved on from the shadows of our past life)/
You said you couldn't live if I ran away/
But part of me died, anyway, when I had to stay/
In a storm that I saw in groundview/
And I couldn't find the I (eye), it was all about U
(you)/
Year One! I felt the dear sun/
A brand new hope before the tears come/
Year two! I see In clear view/
Ashamed of myself when I am near you/
Year three! I watch the stars fade/
Im a zombie whos walking through a heartache/
Year four! Youre forever away and the sun now shines as
my memories fade/
All the feelings I have are hard to word/
I cant see the problem, my vision starts to blur/
Into an image of a violent struggle/
Of a slow suicide since the time I loved you/
Id, gladly die if youd pacify/
But you need too many things that I cant provide, so/
You looked for it inside another's arms/
Lied through ya teeth and cried that nothings wrong/
(It didn't stop) all the cryin in public/
Or telling me Im not the only guy you were fuckin!/
But I gave in to all my fears instead/
The only thing that ran more than me (were the tears
you shed)
When you told me you cut inside ya flesh/
Youre depressed and youd rather die instead/
I could feel my heart tear to bits/
(The first time Ive cried ever since my parents split)/
And I knew, there was no you and I/
I kissed you goodbye, it felt like suicide/
Ob a bond that was made to sever/
When I turned my back on you and wouldn't face the
weather/
And for a moment, it felt like nothing mattered/
Theres givers and theres takers, and youre just the
latter/
I needed help but I got a struggle/
When I fell to pieces you couldn't solve the puzzle/
(We wept in puddles) til we were lost at sea/
(With regretful struggles) and a faded promise ring/
Your hands were full cuz you seemed to hold grudges/
While I chased both of our dreams through rosebushes,
in November/
Year One! I felt the dear sun/
A brand new hope before the tears come/
Year two! I see In clear view/
Ashamed of myself when I am near you/
Year three! I watch the stars fade/
Im a zombie whos walking through a heartache/
Year four! Youre forever away and the sun now shines as
my memories fade/
I couldn't think to hold a single hope/
So I pressed on my luck until my fingers broke/
Im treading steps through quicksand of past love/
To find closure from ice shoulders and hands touch/
And my mind is still plagued with the fragrances/
Of pain and bliss, and razorblades you made me grip/
When Id watch ya face with teary eyes/
And I had to cut myself so I could feel alive, but/
I found a place where the weather is much better now/
In greener pastures, where the rain is never out/
And ya face is replaced by another/
November's leaves stay, but have changed for the
summer/
(and my) hope meddles (where I) go settle/
In the line that blurs from love to rose petals/
And the silence hurt, so I just followed through/
On a beaten street, never reaching peaks which I saw in
you/
And now I see that you just took me for granted/
Had a diamond in the rough and you still took me for
granite/
Cuz in November we gazed at sea scapes/
With each wave, symbolizing things that wed make/
Love and war we were born as keepsakes/
To underscore loves accord when peace breaks, In
