This is a group project module which is part of the group project theme running through the engineering programmes. This module introduces you to the practice of creating an engineered design and the organisational issues of controlling a group project. It will provide you with the opportunity to work in a team in order to solve a well defined problem. It will give you an understanding of their knowledge and limitations and the importance of working with other members of a team. There is one week long assignment period allocated to this module and this allows the real time application of skills and knowledge developed in the preceding weeks to be applied to enable manufacture of the designed product. Each group of students will be expected to produce a tangible output from the design and manufacturing work which will account for 60% of the module. For the remaining 40% of marks you will be assessed on the group work process.
This is a multi-disciplinary module on fixed-wing aircraft. It covers fundamental concepts of the rigid-body aircraft and its degree of freedom. The main purpose of the module is to introduce the student to the calculation and analysis of aircraft flight performance and stability, with focus on steady-state or quasi steady flight. The flight conditions considered include ground manoeuvre, take-off and landing, cruise condition, and turning.
The module will be delivered in a combination of lectures/ tutorials and experimental flight programme. The module will look to establish preparatory experimental design, implementation and analysis of flight data.
This module will be assessed by a combination of in-course assessments and an examination.
This module studies the relationships between the external loads applied to a deformable body and the intensity of internal forces acting within the body, and the characteristics of the materials often found in aerospace applications. The subject also involves calculating the deformations and stability and stability of a body when the body is subject to external loadings.
The module will develop the essential theory and fundamental principles of structural mechanics and will provide an insight into different materials and their characteristics, thus developing student knowledge, skills and ability to apply this knowledge in aerospace structural analysis and design.
Lectures on basic principles and then applications through analysis and laboratory experiments. There is an increasing emphasis on self learning and the use of computational simulation.
Assessment will be in the form of written laboratory reports and an examination.
Avionics and aerospace systems are major constituents of all modern aerospace vehicles on which their overall performance and safety is critically dependent. This module considers the development of avionics, investigates the principles that underpin avionic systems operation and examines the current types and applications of avionic systems in use. The module develops your understanding of the engineering issues related to the specification, design and operation of aerospace systems and their overall performance and safe operation by providing an introduction to the types of systems found on aerospace vehicles and their main functions.
The module introduces the fundamental principles and concepts for avionics design including radio and radar technology, navigation systems, flight management systems and automatic flight control systems and focuses on the design and operation of hydraulic and flight control systems using standard engineering tools.
We use a variety of learning and teaching methods to create and maintain your involvement including lectures, practical activity using a flight simulator, assignments, presentations, seminar exercises and tutorials.
The module is assessed via an assignment and end-of-course exam.
Engineers are responsible for the design, construction, and testing of the devices we use. In doing so, they need a deep understanding of the physics that underpins these devices, and must be familiar with mathematical models that predict system behaviour. You learn how to analyze and predict the behaviour of physical systems by studying mechanics.
Dynamics is a branch of elementary mechanics that studies the object in motion. The results obtained from dynamics directly apply to many fields of engineering. This module develops the essential theories and fundamental principles of dynamic and vibration analysis, and enhances your knowledge, skills, and ability to apply them to the analysis of dynamic and vibration problems.
Aerodynamics is an applied science which finds practical application in many areas of engineering. Irrespective of the complexity of a particular problem, the use of aerodynamics is typically aimed to provide insight into either the loadings on a body moving through air or determination of airflows moving through or around physical systems. This module aims to give a broad introduction to aerodynamics, developing the fundamentals of the discipline and applying these to a number of examples and case studies involving both streamlined and bluff bodies. A key aspect of the module is to provide practical experience of the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to analyse a variety of flows. Lectures will be used to introduce techniques and underlying principles. Tutorials will provide the opportunity for you to deepen understanding and develop competence in the application of these. Assessment is by an in-course written report and an end examination.
This module aims to introduce the equations of motion for rigid symmetrical aircraft, to develop simplified models for characteristic motions and to enable students to understand the response of an aircraft to control inputs and disturbances. It develops the concepts of classical control and applies these to controlling an aircraft. The module also introduces the notion of computer programming as a tool to enable development and design in flight dynamics and control.
The module will be delivered via lectures, seminars and IT laboratories.
Assessment will be via an assignment of no more than 1500 words and a 3 hour time-constrained assessment.
This module introduces you to the initial and parametric design of subsonic aircraft. Lectures guide you through the principal steps of these early stages of an aircraft design whilst, in parallel, you work through the process in small groups as you design an aircraft to a given specification.
The module is delivered through a combination of lectures and tutorials using flight simulation and model aircraft to demonstrate performance against the specification.
You are assessed through coursework alone. You are required to produce a short individual report on your initial design concept and, at the end, submit a detailed group report demonstrating the performance of your aircraft and the principal facets of its design and construction.
This module will provide you with the opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary team in order to solve a complex, employer-relevant problem. It will give you an understanding of your knowledge and limitations, and the importance of bringing in and working with people with a different knowledge base and skill set. Working in an interdisciplinary team will enable problems to be successfully resolved which otherwise would not have been possible within a single disciplinary team.
It will develop a consolidated set of employability skills in project management, presentation of work, research and commercial awareness in order to support complex problem solving in a technical context, and enhance the awareness of professional issues such as health, safety, environment and ethics in the workplace. A problem-based learning approach is adopted and where appropriate, supporting lectures/ seminars will be delivered to include technical knowledge or skills development. You will be assessed through two in-course assignments.
Rotary wing aircraft are commonplace in the aviation industry ranging from light helicopters to hybrid tilt rotors. This module considers the development of rotary wing aircraft and investigates current types and roles. It aims to extend the range of student's knowledge and skills within the context of the design and operation of rotorcraft in aerospace engineering. It will involve the fundamental concepts for rotorcraft design including flight dynamics, rotor systems, flight performance, stability and control. It will provide experience in design procedures used for rotary aircraft design.
A variety of teaching and learning methods will be used to create and maintain student involvement including lectures, practical activity using a flight simulator to illustrate aerodynamic performance, seminars, problem solving exercises and tutorials.
The module will be assessed by an assignment of no more than 2400 words and a 3 hour time constrained assessment.
You are expected to attend a range of lectures, small-group tutorials and hands-on laboratory sessions. Your programme also includes a substantial individual research-based project in the final two years of the programme.
The programme provides a number of contact teaching and assessment hours (lectures, tutorials, laboratory work, projects, examinations), but you are also expected to spend time on your own - self-study time - to review lecture notes, prepare coursework assignments, work on projects and revise for assessments.
Each year of full-time study consists of modules totalling 120 credits, and each unit of credit corresponds to 10 hours of learning and assessment (contact hours plus self-study hours). So, during one year of full-time study you can expect to devote around 1,200 hours to learning and assessment.
As a student on a Teesside University aerospace engineering programme you have access to the facilities of both Teesside University and Hartlepool College of Further Education.

You should cut the ends off of quills to deflate them and make them easier to remove.
Myth! Quills are not like balloons. They are more like the shaft of a feather. A quill will not shrink in diameter if you cut it; rather, you will lose leverage and make it more difficult to grab and extract. Shortening the quill will also make it more likely that the quill will become embedded entirely below the surface of the skin and difficult to retrieve.
Dogs learn to avoid porcupines after being quilled.
Myth, in the vast majority of cases. Most dogs will continually seek rematches after porcupine encounters that have ended poorly for them (which are all of them). Keeping your dog on leash is the best way to avoid porcupine encounters. This is especially important during times of highest porcupine activity, during dusk and dawn. If your dog is a repeat offender, consider fencing in your yard.
Quills are equipped with tiny barbs that cause them to migrate into the body.
True! These one-way barbs cause quills to continue to migrate inwards. The longer the quills remain and the more a patient moves, the more likely quills are to break and migrate. Quillings are rarely fatal, but sometimes can be if quills puncture vital organs. Quills may also enter joints or cause abscesses.
Porcupines can shoot their quills at animals.
Myth. Porcupines do not use their quills as projectiles, but the quills are released easily in the face of an attack by a predator. When they feel threatened, porcupines can also lash out with their tails. And with up to 30,000 quills on their body, they have plenty to spare.
So, what do I do if my dog has been quilled?
Keep your dog from pawing at the quills, which may cause them to break and become embedded further. Try to minimize your dog's movement as much as possible, especially if there are quills in the chest or leg area, as movement will cause these quills to migrate further. If there are only a few quills and you have a very cooperative dog, you may be able to remove them yourself. Use a set of pliers or hemostats to grasp the base of the quill. Then pull steadily out to hopefully avoid breaking it. You can ensure you've gotten the whole quill by observing the end of it that was embedded – it should be tapered and come to a point.
In all but a few cases, however, it is best to seek professional help when your dog has been quilled. Quills are very painful to remove due to their microscopic barbs, and trying to remove them at home is often very traumatizing for everyone involved, and it can also lead to more complications. You may be successful removing a few initially, but most dogs will soon begin to protest vehemently because the process is so painful. They may then not allow you to handle their mouths (or affected area) for any reason in the future. Because of this, a visit to your veterinarian or emergency clinic is usually needed for sedation and removal. This should be done as soon as possible to avoid quills breaking off and migrating, or setting up infection. Studies have shown that the quicker quills are removed following the porcupine encounter, the lower the complication rate.
With prompt medical care, most dogs recover uneventfully from their porcupine tussle, but a few may experience long-term or even fatal complications. Quills may migrate throughout the body, perforating the heart, lungs, or intestines with deadly consequences. A quill puncturing the eye can ultimately lead to loss of that eye, and quills in the joints can cause chronic lameness.
Take all precautions to minimize porcupine encounters. If your pet does become quilled, make sure to call your veterinarian or your local emergency hospital right away to minimize discomfort and complications.

Action Point, Solitaire Sunday, War Game Wednesday
The Wars of Marcus Aurelius: Rome 170-180CE from Hollandspiele – Action Point 1
Date: August 16, 2019Author: Grant 10 Comments
I recently found this little solitaire wargame called The Wars of Marcus Aurelius: Rome 170-180CE from Hollandspiele and really have enjoyed the game as I have played it 8 times in the last few weeks. That's the good news. The bad? I have only won the game once….and even though that is the case, I can't stop thinking about the game and playing it. It is really good!
The Wars of Marcus Aurelius: Rome 170-180CE is a solitaire only game that uses cards similarly to a CDG to simulate the strategic level struggle of the Romans led by Marcus Aurelius to stave off the invasions of Germanic tribes and Sarmatian raiders as they encroach on Roman territory across the Danube River.
That's the history. And it is really well integrated. The game play is very fun, strategic, with lots of decision points about what to do and what cards to use, and it is really challenging. In this series of Action Points we will take a dive into some of the elements, including the map, the cards and the gameplay and will also take a really good look at some of the strategies.
In this Action Point, we will examine the map and how the game uses the barbarian Tracks to simulate raids against the empire and other areas you must be focused on including the Imperium Track (don't ignore or you will lose a lot!) and the Off-Map Conflict Boxes.
The map is a representation of the Imperial Roman frontier around 170CE in northeastern Europe and uses the Danube River as it's main boundary between the Romans and their enemies the Germanic tribes in the Marcomanni and Quadi and Sarmatian invaders the Iazyges. The map is divided into three main sections that I will call "tracks", which provide a path for the invaders to travel down attempting to cross the Danube and cause trouble for the Romans.
In the spaces on these Tracks north of the Danube are numbers such as +2, +4, +6 and so on. These numbers represent terrain in the area and provide a combat bonus to the strength of the barbarian defenders. Think of this as the terrain is not conducive to large matching armies with thick forests, wetlands and poor roads and allow for the barbarians to nullify the numerical advantage of the Romans with ambushes and attacks in passes to nullify numerical advantage. As you move up the Track pushing the barbarians closer to their home space where you can pacify them and force their surrender they are going to stiffen and it will be more and more difficult to beat them.
You will also notice the numbers south of the Danube do not have + numbers but show a -1 IP value. If the barbarians ever move into these spaces the player will lose an Imperium Point or IP at the end of the round. This makes the Roman people nervous and they begin to clamor against Marcus Aurelius as the barbarians near their doorstep.
Finally, at the end of each of the three Tracks are located what are called boxes and each has a different effect. If the barbarians enter the "Raid Into Moesia" box, the player will have to immediately discard a random Roman card from their hand. If the player has no cards, they will have to lose 1 IP. If barbarians enter the "Raid Into Pannonia" Box, the player will lose 1 IP and finally if a barbarian ever enters the "Rome" box, the game immediately ends.
Players will find themselves prioritizing these Tracks and boxes to mitigate their effects. Players typically will focus on the Marcomanni Track first and then the Iazyges next, as both of these can cause you to quickly lose. While there is no auto loss condition for the Iazyges Track, losing cards is very bad as you are probably going to be stockpiling cards to maximize your actions in the upcoming round or to increase the power of your attacks but more on this in Action Point 2.
Players will spend their time planning attacks against one or more tribes and will most likely have to focus on one Track at a time to be effective. With that being said, you really will have to manage all Tracks simultaneously as you don't want them to get out of hand as you will have scarce resources, with not enough armies or good leaders, and as the year progresses you will also get fewer and fewer cards to take actions with.
Each of these Tracks have an Army Box with a Leader Box located on the bottom which will hold the Legions and Leader that you have assigned to this Track for the year.
Imperium Track
Imperium Points are a way to measure the authority of Marcus Aurelius and the confidence in him of the people of Rome. This Track can go up or down with events from cards or down due to poor battles (bad dice rolls with an army led by Marcus Aurelius). When you lose an IP, players will move the marker down and when they gain an IP it will move up. But you must pay attention to this Track as if the marker ever reaches the bottom space, Marcus Aurelius is considered to have been usurped and the player will automatically lose.
While on the 1 space on the Imperium Track, a poor roll of a 1 by an army led by Marcus Aurelius will lead to the loss of an IP and usurpation!
This Track is one of the best elements of the design and will lead to about 75% of all losses by players if they don't pay attention and give it some focus. I tell myself that I have to take care of my IP first before I can hope to defeat the invaders in combat and I like this as it really represents the support and control of the leadership of Marcus Aurelius.
Off-Map Conflict Boxes
There is a small part of the game that can cause some major pain if you don't control it and that is the Off-Map Conflict Boxes located on the right side of the map board. These boxes represent goings on in the Eastern Empire and the Western Empire and if one of the Off-Map Conflict cards is drawn they will be placed in the corresponding box to be dealt with by the player in due time. But don't wait too long as there are negative effects as they persist and they will begin to undermine the authority of Marcus Aurelius and will ultimately cause the loss of IP and can lead to usurpation!
These cards represent civil wars, invasions and mutinies and provide another threat to the player to deal with. I have found that you will typically draw them later in the round without the appropriate amount of time to deal with them causing them to linger and cause you to lose IP's. The cards are a great vehicle though to bring the history to life and to offer some diversity to the game and add a different type of challenge.
I hope you can get a feel for the situation that The Wars of Marcus Aurelius: Rome 170-180CE is designed around and can see how you will be challenged as you attempt to quell the invaders. In Action Point 2, you will see that situation heat up as I explain the cards, and take a look at the Barbarian Deck.

Uttarakhand floods 2013: What led to Kedarnath disaster
Hridayesh JoshiJun 17, 2016 | 18:23
According to the website of the Uttarakhand Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited, 45 hydropower projects with a total capacity of 3,164 MW are operational in in the state, and around 199 big and small projects have been proposed or under way in the state.
In the Alaknanda–Bhagirathi basin alone, 69 hydropower projects with a total capacity of 9,000 MW are under way, according to the high level inter-ministerial group (IMG) formed by the Union ministry of environment and forests to consider matters relating to environmental flows and hydropower projects on the Ganga and its tributaries.
The report was prepared in April 2013. These projects would modify the key tributaries through diversions to tunnels or reservoirs. As per the report, implementation of all 69 projects would affect 81 per cent of the Bhagirathi and 65 per cent of the Alaknanda.
The exploitation of rivers through dams and the resulting challenges have been in Himanshu Thakkar's focus for some time now. He has carried out an in-depth study of construction activities in several river valleys, including the Narmada, Alaknanda and Bhagirathi. In a report published by the South Asia Network for Dams, Rivers and Peoples (SANDRP), Thakkar demystifies several issues and highlights the unethical practices of several construction companies and the growing avarice of all stakeholders involved.

Soon after the destruction of Kedarnath, SANDRP made a short film focusing on the nature of these dams and the horrific tragedies orchestrated by their very existence. Following the devastation in Uttrakhand in 2013, many questions were raised about the irresponsible and unethical practices of hydroelectric power companies.
When media teams arrived at the spot, the locals vent their anger against the staff and authorities of these hydro projects. Some serious allegations were levelled against big players like GVK in Srinagar and the Jaypee Group in Vishnuprayag near Joshimath. The Jayeee Group, whose tagline is "No Dream Too Big", is today being held responsible by activists for the ecological devastation of the region through the construction of dams in several locations across the Himalayan range.
On June 16 and 17, a few kilometres from the Jaypee hydro power project in Joshimath, the area was completely ravaged in the disaster. The villagers allege that the project staff knowingly ignored all the danger signals. Two separate cases were filed by activists against the projects of the Jaypee and GVK groups in the National Green Tribunal, the apex court to hear the environment disputes and grievances.
The water level started rising in the Vishnuprayag project reservoir since June 13 itself. The workers and officials at the dam site should have been aware of the risk that the villages and their inhabitants were exposed to. Villagers claim that they had asked the company staff to open the dam gates to allow water to flow from under the barrage, but either the company employees did not understand the gravity of the situation or merely ignored the advice.
The locals maintain that the project staff did not expect the flood to take on such monstrous proportions and perhaps saw this as a business opportunity to generate more power. In the meanwhile, the water continued to rise and an almost three kilometre long lake was formed.
This reservoir proved to be very dangerous for villages in its vicinity. The water had breached the walls of the reservoir. The barrage is equipped with an automatic hydraulic system to regulate the volume of water and to ensure that the gates open automatically when the level exceeds a certain point. But the failure of this system raised an important question: after constructing such huge dams in an area as vulnerable as this, can the entire safety mechanism be completely dependent on technology alone?
With the water rising continuously in the dam, all the tributaries in the region, big and small, were swollen. One of these, Khairo Ganga, had taken on the proportions of a full-fledged river and, along with its water, a huge quantity of sand and debris got lodged in the barrage.
Rage of the River: The Untold Story of Kedarnath Disaster; Penguin Random House; Rs 265.
As a result, one of the walls of the barrage gave way. Alaknanda, flowing several feet above normal, started cutting into the national highway and a massive chunk of the road fell into the river.
A few kilometres away, two small towns, Pandukeshwar and Govindghat, saw maximum damage. The people of Pandukeshwar lost their homes, cattle, and other belongings, while Govindghat was completely destroyed. There used to be at least fifty shops and many hotels in Govindghat — most of these boasted of 30 to 40 rooms. Other than this, there was a gurudwara and several homes of course. On June 17, when we saw Govindghat, it was hard to imagine there was once a bustling town here.
The ruthless flood took whatever came in its way, leaving behind only huge boulders, sand and debris. The Govindghat parking lot, that could at one time accommodate hundreds of buses, motorcycles, cars and trucks, had vanished off the face of the earth. The residents of Pandukeshwar and Govindghat were of the view that the damage could have been minimised had the staff of the Vishnuprayag power project behaved responsibly.
The most serious allegation was that despite the rising water level, the project staff did not open the reservoir gates to release the water. Later, when villagers asked for the gates of the barrage to be opened, the company ignored them. The locals' anger seemed justified because, despite being aware of the risk involved, the staff of Jaypee didn"t alert the villagers and did nothing to take pre-emptive measures.
Atul Sati, a resident of Joshimath, is a social activist as well as a member of CPI(ML), a political party. He told me, "It wasn"t as though the company wasn"t aware of the deteriorating situation... they were just not concerned about the lives and property of the local people. They quickly moved all their company vehicles to safe places well before all hell broke loose, but didn"t bother to warn the people of the danger ahead.
But it's not just one project alone that acted irresponsibly. After the disaster, many other projects also came under scanner — one of these being the dam being built in Srinagar, by the GVK group.
...Media reports say that on the evening of 16 June (2013), the dam operator of GVK group closed the gate to fill up the reservoir. Within a few hours, when water and silt began accumulating in dangerously large amounts, the operators realized that their project was in the danger of being harmed. Without any concern for the people living downstream, they opened all the gates at once, which resulted in large-scale destruction down the river in the town of Srinagar.
The Ravi Chopra committee, appointed on Supreme Court orders, also clearly stated that the Srinagar project was responsible for the devastation seen downstream.
Today, the Uttarakhand government takes pride in announcing that 65 per cent of the state has forest cover, but it is also a fact that state officials often complain that the laws meant to protect the forests and environment are turning out to be bottlenecks in the path of development. It is a fact that on paper, this 65 per cent forest cover exists, but what the government does not reveal is that most of these trees do not in any way contribute towards environmental preservation.
As a matter of fact, many of these species are in fact ruining the land. The most villainous of these is the pine tree, which the British introduced in India, and which has been "diligently" preserved by contractors.
Power production in Uttarakhand has tripled in the last ten years. Planning Commission figures reveal that in 2001–02 Uttarakhand produced 1,115 megawatts of electricity, which went up to 3,618 megawatts in 2011–12.
The state government has, time and again, raised the issue of environment related rules and laws coming in the way of hydroelectric power projects. A written document of the state government says, "Harnessing of hydro power, which could have been the mainstay of [the] state, [is] hampered on the ground [because] of ecological concerns."
The document adds, "... delay in getting clearances [from the environment ministry] under the Forest Conservation Act results in a cost overrun and a time overrun. One sixty-five projects are awaiting clearances."

Habits Are Formed By Repetition, Not Reminders
There are five words today that, when coming from any adult relative with minimal technical chops, are the most terrifying you'll ever hear: I clicked on this link…
I doubt any one of us at some point in our lives has managed to escape the inevitable cry for help from a technically challenged relative after they've managed to turn their computing device into a festering pit of malware, Trojans, key loggers and other nasty infectious bits.
Combine that reality (which needs no statistical shoring up but for the sake of completeness we'll note that phishing still catches 45% of targets) with the very scary research that says 51% of folks share 'usernames and passwords with friends, family and colleagues' and '28% admitted they knew the log in details for a friend's, family member's or colleague's mobile'—a significant number of which likely write them down, in plain sight, store them in their ever-so-helpful browsers and stay logged in for excessive periods of time.
It's no wonder that 61% of breaches in the consumer market occur due to identity fraud. Between phishing and sharing, security doesn't stand a chance.
These consumer-related security stats should scare the pants off you because those consumers are your co-workers.
I'll let that sink in for a moment. The consumers who are beleaguered by identity theft and plagued by malware are the co-workers with whom you are partnered in the Sisyphean task of protecting corporate app, data and network from intrusion and exfiltration.
These consumers are the people you've been working to educate and, if we're honest, who practice the less than stellar security habits against which you fight every day. One of the biggest challenges in IT security today is, in fact, the reality of BYOSP (Bring Your Own Security Practices).
The consumerization of IT is more about commoditized apps, personal devices and a corporate laissez faire approach to both. An unfortunate side-effect of consumerization isn't that people aren't bringing just their own things; they're bringing their own (poor) security habits.
Remember that several of the most recent (and high-profile) breaches have occurred because of stolen credentials.
Is that any surprise given the consumer statistics related to identity fraud, phishing and sharing of credentials?
No matter how strict or complex your password policy is, it is no defense against the voluntary sharing of credentials or the theft of them inflight thanks to a previously clicked link.
There is a relationship between consumer security fails and corporate security postures. The more computing savvy consumers believe they are, the more likely they are to bring their own security practices along with their devices and apps to their corporate positions.
The key word is practice. They're going to do what they've been doing for, oh, nigh unto most of their life at this point. They've got to unlearn and the only way to break bad habits is through practice. You've got to help them build new habits.
That takes more than quarterly reviews of security policies. It takes more than just random internal phishing expeditions. It takes more than just periodic e-mail reminders or mandatory video-based training. It takes time and consistent application.
Security practitioners need to find ways to engage, consistently, their consumer- co-workers in practicing good security in order to form the habits that will make them more secure at work and at home. Gamification, more random tests and more opportunities to practice will certainly encourage formulation of the security habits that will serve both corporate and consumer interests alike.
Habits are formed by repetition, not reminders. While certainly reminders help reinforce what is learned, they cannot be the primary means by which good security practices are taught and encouraged in the enterprise. We have to be more active and vigilant in helping our consumer-coworkers form the good security habits they need to protect not just corporate resources, but themselves.

Tuesday's Featured: Self-Deceit?
Forgetting what you look like would be an unfortunate thing.
But according to the book of James, this act of forgetfulness over something so necessary to our identities happens all too often, and all too easily. James says:
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like" (1:22-23).
In accordance with this passage, watch the video below. It is a dialogue between pastors Francis Chan and David Platt on how easily we deceive ourselves as Christ followers. Our self-deception affects the entire growth of the church body as a whole:
They ask a very provocative question: How are we deceiving ourselves right now?
"But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does" (v. 25).
Ponder this question today. How might you be deceiving yourself? What does it look like to explore intently the law that gives freedom? Does this affect making disciples?

Hay, John. THE BREAD-WINNERS A SOCIAL STUDY. New York: Harper & Brothers, Franklin Square, 1884. small octavo, pp. [1-5] 6-319 [320: blank], flyleaves at front and rear, original decorated green cloth, front and spine panels stamped in black, brown coated endpapers. First edition. This copy has "THE END" on page 319; copies of the first edition are found with and without the statement, priority, if any, not determined. This early American economic novel, Hay's solo effort at fiction, was written in 1882, published anonymously both as a serial in CENTURY MAGAZINE from August 1883 to January 1884 and here as a book, and never publicly acknowledged by its author. An anti-labor novel "in which the labor organization known as the Breadwinners is as violet and lawless as the historical Molly Maguires ... The story of the solution of a crime, a commonplace in fiction since the time of Poe, appears in John Hay's THE BREAD-WINNERS, in which the criminal is at the same time a leader of organized labor." - Taylor, The Economic Novel, pp. 110; 312. "The motive of THE BREAD-WINNERS is the defense of property against the 'dangerous classes;' its immediate theme is a satire of of labor unions ... It achieved a notable success -- far beyond that of [Henry Adams's] DEMOCRACY (1880); was warmly praised and sharply criticized; was replied to in other novels; all of which goes to show that it fanned the coals that were smoldering in the industrial life of the day, threatening a general conflagration. It was the first recognition on the part of literature that a class struggle impended in America -- a first girding of the loins of polite letters to put down the menace that looked out from the underworld of the proletariat; and as such it assumes importance as a historical document quite beyond its significance as a work of art." - Parrington, Main Currents in American Thought: The Beginnings of Critical Realism in America 1860-1920 Completed to 1900 Only, pp. 173-9. Blake, The Strike in the American Novel, pp. 212-3. BAL 7762. Wright (III) 2608. A fine copy. (#164612).

This is a cute, retro style midi dress that is reminiscent of the styles worn in the 1940s, only with a distinctive contemporary twist. The dress is made from a cotton-Nylon blend fabric that is soft to the touch and comfortable enough to wear for hours on end. It comes in your choice of navy blue or red, and has white polka dots over all. The dress features a nicely fitted bodice with short sleeves and a high, rounded neckline. It is a close fit to the waist where a cascade of ruffles appears down one side. The skirt is a straight pencil cut with a hemline that ends at the mid calf area. This dress closes in back with a long, concealed zipper.

Let's go get some pizza!
It is, apparently, National Pizza Day on February 9th – like any of us needed an excuse for another slice.
Still, it is a good excuse to take a step back and look at the London pizza scene and, when you do that, you realise what a good place we're in. Sure, we're not Naples, and Chicago and New York can still carry on with their never-ending "who's best" debate but, actually, we're in very good (roughly circular, squidgy) shape. Here then, are a few of the best.
With the Naples original touted as the "world's best" – and sort of co-starring in Eat Pray Love – L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele has spread its wings and landed in, er, Baker Street – which, while not exactly famous for its Italian connection is at least vaguely apt dough-wise. Expect queues, a surprisingly straightforward menu, prices that are a little more than you'd pay in Italy and a slice of doughy loveliness that, while perhaps underwhelming on first bite, builds to something that celebrates simplicity and lingers long in the mind.
A great pizza place near Leicester Square… Yes, I was surprised as anyone but, having been tipped off to this place by an Italian mate – a place I'd walked past many, many times, and written off as a tourist trap based purely on its postcode – it's become one of my most visited spots. One day I might even order something other than the Sarracino I Panuozzi.
"I Panuozzi" are, the menu tells me, traditionally from the Gragnano area and are, basically, a wood fired stuffed pizza, that's more sandwich than calzone. The Sarracino – fennel-heavy Italian sausage, aubergine, smoked mozzarella – is like the breakfast sandwich you can cheerfully inhale for supper. If you go with a group, the "pizza al metro" / pizza by the metre is always fun.
I was first put onto Santa Maria by a friend when there was just the tiny Ealing outpost on St Mary's Road (hence the name). His wife was from Rome and his in-laws were very hard to please when it came to food and London – but Santa Maria's cooking shut them up and was thus worth the long drive around the North Circular. They weren't wrong. It's super. Again, so simple, but it's all about celebrating the ingredients and the elasticity of the dough. Happily, you can now track them down in Chelsea and Fitzrovia.
Yeah, there are more authentic places – and all sorts of local gems dotted around the capital – but I have a soft spot for the Pizza Pilgrims, mostly because we once went around Chicago together in the name of research, but also because they ably mix Neapolitan tradition with a sense of fun.

Harold Reynolds and Mark DeRosa Argued About the Controversial Call, Both Were Right
World Series - Washington Nationals v Houston Astros - Game Six / Bob Levey/Getty Images
Sam Holbrook was within his rights as an umpire to call Trea Turner out at first base in the seventh inning. Had he chosen to swallow his whistle, there wouldn't have been as nearly the level of commotion. Both of these things can be correct.
The controversial call ended up not mattering to the bottom line as Anthony Rendon ensured a comfortable Nationals' victory by driving in four runs after the questionable play. We should all be thankful for that because the discourse this morning would have been absolutely unbearable had it turned out otherwise.
Simply put, a lot of people said things online in the heat of the moment that weren't entirely helpful or grounded in reality. And that tends to happen on Twitter. It took a long time to get to a clear-minded and sober place. But MLB Tonight got there in a segment with Harold Reynolds and Mark DeRosa. And it's a perfect distillation of everything that was going on around the bag.
One of the most talked about plays of Game 6.
Harold and @markdero7 break down the play at 1st on the field at Minute Maid.#MLBTonight | #WorldSeries pic.twitter.com/alKxIKN9M3
— MLB Network (@MLBNetwork) October 30, 2019
Reynolds points out that, yes, by the letter of the law, Turner put himself in a situation to be called out there by failing to get in the designated lane. DeRosa, speaking for common sense, laments how the law is flawed and should be addressed. Both these things can be true. In fact, they are true.
That's it. That's the end. There you have it. End of discussion. There's freaking Game 7 tonight with Max Scherzer attempting to pull a Willis Reed. Let's go.

Zuckerberg gets a night off: Much-hyped Euro grilling was all smoke, absolutely no heat
For European Union politicos, question time is all about the Qs, no As
By Rebecca Hill 23 May 2018 at 06:01
Analysis The European stop on Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook apology tour on Tuesday amounted to little more than a live read-out of Facebook's well-rehearsed platitudes and tired PR lines.
The format of the session at the European Parliament meant that the embattled boss of the data-slurping biz effectively got a night off, being allowed to dodge questions from EU politicians, avoid follow-ups and even bring the hearing to a close himself.
It saw Zuckerberg give a brief opening statement with the requisite apology, after which the assembled MEPs took up about an hour of the allotted 70 minutes making statements and putting questions – mostly decent ones – to Zuckerberg, who was then given free rein to answer, and ignore, them as he saw fit.
"You've raised a lot of important questions," Zuck said after the dozen speakers had wasted their collective breath, adding – no doubt with a sense of glee not yet experienced by any exec in these recent political Q&A sessions – "I'll use the remainder of time to get through as many as I can."
And so, he proceeded to assign the MEPs' specific questions into "themes", rephrasing them to suit topics he wanted to bring up, and repeating much of what has been said ad nauseum by the business since the scandal over Cambridge Analytica brought the extent of Facebook's data slurping to public attention.
Don't stop me if you've heard these before
This included nice words about tackling fake news; references to the ad transparency tool due to launch this summer; a nod to efforts to improve automatic detection of fake accounts and terrorist content; and highlighting the biz's plans to double the number of people working on safety and security (a selfless move, Zuck implied, as he observed that it doesn't matter that the hires will likely affect the business' profitability).
Among the specific questions Zuck saw fit to sidestep were those on shadow profiles, tracking of non-users, breaking up the Facebook monopoly, black-box algorithmic decision-making, regulating the industry, and yes-or-no questions on increasing transparency on the company's tax and business affairs.
Instead, he gave broad opinions on these areas, saying for instance that "some sort of regulation is important" but that this should be flexible enough so it didn't stop the "next student sitting in a college dorm room" from innovating.
Mark Duckerberg: Second Congressional grilling sees boss dodge questions like a pro
On the issue of monopoly, he said that it "feels like new competitors are coming up every day", and argued that Facebook has a "pro-competitive effect" because it offers tools to small businesses.
The General Data Protection Regulation - the flagship privacy law generating column miles this week as the enforcement date edges closer - received even less attention, with the CEO dedicating just two minutes to superficial observations about privacy settings (which do not compliance make).
Zuckerberg also avoided having to engage with a few more philosophical questions, such as the one posed by Labour MEP Claude Moraes about the moral obligations the firm has to both users and non-users, and another from liberal leader Guy Verhofstadt.
How does Zuckerberg wants to be remembered, the outspoken MEP asked: As one of the three internet giants who enriched the world (citing Jobs and Gates as the other two), or a "genius who created a digital monster that is destroying our societies"?
Zuck: OK, I think we're done here
Once Zuckerberg felt he'd done enough - and with very little interjection from the assembled members - he stated: "I want to be sensitive to time, because we're 15 minutes over…"
And then, to the sound of jaws hitting keyboards and a flurry of incredulous tweets, Zuck attempted to sum up the session with his usual saccharine comments and promises to follow up afterwards:
"I realise there were a lot of specific questions I didn't get time to answer… I think I was able to address the high level areas in each and I'll make sure I follow up with each of you afterwards."
A brief but dramatic exchange followed, as the politicians in the room appeared furious at the way their star witness had failed to answer any of their specific questions, with many clamouring to restate their queries.
President of the European Parliament, and mastermind of the session, Antonio Tajani - under the watchful eye of Zuckerberg - was having none of it, and called an immediate end to the proceedings.
Immediately afterwards Tajani held a brief press conference in which he tried to put a positive spin on events, saying the meeting was "very much a success" and "showed we can defend citizens rights in the union".
When asked about the format, Tajani repeatedly praised Zuckerberg for turning up at all, emphasising that he was not obliged to and that he "spent half an hour" answering the questions, and that the 90-minute session went on "longer than planned".
Peeved politicians
Suffice to say, the hearing went down like a lead balloon with commentators from all sides.
UK Conservative MP Damian Collins, who has repeatedly tried - and failed - to get the exec to appear in front of the committee he chairs in the House of Commons, being particularly unimpressed.
Today's session in the EP was a missed opportunity. An hour of questions, followed by a lengthy statement from Zuckerberg, with all difficult questions dodged. The format, which was agreed by Facebook, led to no real scrutiny. It is time that he appeared in front of @CommonsCMS
— Damian Collins (@DamianCollins) May 22, 2018
Ahead of today's session, there was much speculation - and grandstanding - from European politicians about the grilling Zuckerberg would face from the leaders of privacy and data protection law.
However, it's now abundantly clear that Zuckerberg would indeed have faced a much tougher time if he had made an appearance in the UK's parliament on his trip across The Pond.
Not only have the MPs on the digital committee thus far shown a decent grasp of the situation, posing clear and informed questions to those that have turned up to give evidence, they also have no qualms about holding five-hour-plus evidence sessions full of at times aggressive cross-examination. ®

Dr. David Evans, a research fellow at the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of St Andrews, recently presented research suggesting that surface temperatures during the Eocene epoch, which was between 56 and 34 million years ago, were significantly warmer than today.
By looking at the chemistry of micro-fossils preserved in the Eocene sediments, the team was able to determine that polar amplification during the Eocene interval was more pronounced than previously thought.
Polar amplification is the phenomenon of the Polar Regions warming to a greater degree than the tropics.
The research team also investigated polar ocean warmth during the same interval and found that the warming was even more pronounced – at least double that of the tropical oceans.
Reconstructing the degree of warming during periods of elevated CO2 tests our understanding of the Earth system and the accuracy of climate models.
Dr. Evans is the lead researcher of a team of international scientists researching climate change researchers from the University of St Andrews and Yale University, and their findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
This research provides insight into the future of climate change and intensifies the risks associated with our current rate of global warming.
Actions that can be taken by St Andrews students to help mitigate the impacts of global warming include turning lights off, unplugging unused items, using recycling bins, and riding bikes instead of driving in cars.
Though easy to adopt, together they all have a significant impact on our environment if a large portion of the community takes part.
Dr. David Evans received his MSc and Ph.D. from the Royal Holloway University of London and, since then, has been a postdoctoral associate at Yale University.
As a research fellow at the University of St Andrews School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, he is currently focusing his efforts on a project regarding coral and inorganic carbonate geochemistry and interpretations of our proxy systems.
"Characterising and understanding the role of these is of fundamental importance to predicting the future impact of climate change on the health of marine calcifiers," Dr. Evans said.

Oculocutaneous albinism is a genetically heterogeneous congenital disorder characterized by decreased or absent pigmentation in the hair, skin, and eyes. The term 'albinism' includes specific ocular changes that are the results of reduced amounts of melanin in the developing eye; these abnormalities in the eye and optic system are specific and necessary for the diagnosis. Aside from decreased pigment in the iris and retina, optic changes include decreased visual acuity, misrouting of the optic nerves at the chiasm, and nystagmus (King et al., 2001).Although OCA caused by mutations in the TYR gene was classically known as 'tyrosinase-negative' OCA, Tripathi et al. (1992) noted that some patients with 'tyrosinase-positive' OCA may indeed have TYR mutations resulting in residual enzyme activity. These patients can be classified as having OCA1B. Genetic Heterogeneity of Oculocutaneous AlbinismOCA1, caused by mutations in the TYR gene, is divided clinically into 2 types: type IA, OCA1A, characterized by complete lack of tyrosinase activity due to production of an inactive enzyme, and type IB (OCA1B ), characterized by reduced activity of tyrosinase. OCA2 (OMIM ), OCA3 (OMIM ), and OCA4 (OMIM ) are somewhat milder forms of the disorder, caused by mutations in the OCA2 (OMIM ), TYRP1 (OMIM ), and MATP (SLC45A2 ) genes, respectively. OCA5 (OMIM ) has been mapped to chromosome 4q24. OCA6 (see {113750}) is caused by mutation in the SLC24A5 gene (OMIM ). OCA7 (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the C10ORF11 gene (OMIM ).See also ocular albinism (OA1 ), which is restricted phenotypically to ocular involvement only.

Q: passing different structs to a function(using void *) I need to figure out how to pass two different structs to a function. I tried using void * for the parameter but i am receiving the error:
warning: dereferencing 'void *' pointer
error: request for member left in something not a structure or union

same error for member right
here is what i did in general terms(code may not compile).
struct A{
    char *a;
    struct A *left, *right;
} *rootA;

struct B{
    char *b;
    struct B *left, *right;
} *rootB;

void BinaryTree(void *root, void *s){
    if(condition)
        root->left=s;
    else if(condition)
        BinaryTree(root->left, s);

    if(condition)
        root->right=s;
    else if(condition)
        BinaryTree(root->right, s);
}

int main(){
    // Assume the struct of nodeA and nodeB get malloc()
    // as well as the variables a and b with actual data.
    struct A nodeA;
    struct B nodeB;
    BinaryTree(rootA, nodeA);
    BinaryTree(rootB, nodeB);

    return 0
}

A: There are 2 aspects of your program which needs to be relooked. One, is the parameter passing where you are passing by value and not reference. Hence, the calls for BinaryTree function should have
BinaryTree(rootA, &nodeA);

The other major consideration is how you  handle these void pointers in the BinaryTree function. In the current form,
void BinaryTree(void *root, void *s){
    if(condition)
         root->left=s;

Here root is a void * and hence, root->left can't be evaluated. Hence, you need to typecast root to a meaningful data type like
struct A *hdl = (struct A*)(root);
hdl->left = s;

Even with this approach, one more important consideration is that you are using the same function for different structures. Hence, it would be difficult/challenging to know when to type cast root as A vs B and hence, this strategy requires a small rethink.

A: You are confused on your struct declarations. The type is given by the word after struct. That thing at the end needs to go, at least until you learn about typedefs. Example:
struct A{
char *a;
struct A *left, *right;
};

When you call BinaryTree you need to always pass it pointers not structs. Example:
BinaryTree(&nodeA, &nodeA);

When you do operations on a void pointer, you need to cast it to the correct pointer type first. Example:
(struct A*)root->left=s;

Passing these structs around as void pointers is definitely bad practice and you will get yourself horribly confused. Void pointers are to be used sparingly. Since you seem to be starting on C, I recommend you don't use them at all yet until you understand value and reference semantics a little better. That being said, I made lots of stupid code when I started on C, still do sometimes. You'll figure it out with time and practice.

The Vibrogerm is a seedbed cultivator with two or four tines rows (choose your configuration) which enable to combine many tillage operations in one pass and high-speed. With a high clearance of 60 cm, the Vibrogerm is able to work up to 15 cm deep. It is available in three different widths 4, 5 and 6 meters.
The Vibrogerm is the right choice to tillage after ploughing as well as warming-up the seedbed before the spring. The choice of the machine configuration allows versatility in use.
The double tines rows with wing share 25 cm allow scalping the soil over whole width, with an aggressive tillage to obtain a broken up surface layer. For the version with four rows of vibrating tines (ideal in clay soil), it favors an intensive and shallow cultivation without mixing the deep soil, permitting warming up to heats and ventilation of the soil surface before seeding.
With the Vibrogerm you will create a quick seedbed preparation, and you will obtain a perfectly straight field, ready for seeding and promoting a uniform crop emergence.

Home Hear Tyler Bowers Is Wandering Around With A Broken Heart
Tyler Bowers Is Wandering Around With A Broken Heart
The Chicago hip-hop popster doesn't hold back on his emotional breakup single.
Tyler Bowers is lost in the darkness on his emotional and personal single Wandering — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
Featuring rising rapper Blvck Svm, the deeply personal track details the pain and loss that distance has created in a very important relationship for the Chicago artist. Revealing this kind of vulnerability and despair isn't always a hallmark of hip-hop, but Bowers is determined to tell it like it is.
"Ever since I started listening to Kid Cudi in college, I knew I wanted to be the type of musician who isn't afraid to be vulnerable with their audience," Bowers recalls. "I really wanted to create something real with this track. I've been going through a very dark time for the past year, and am ciphering a lot of loss. I wanted that feeling to transfer over into something genuine that people who are struggling with the same issues can relate to.
"I talk a lot about a girl in this track and on my EP," Bowers reveals. "Circumstances, unfortunately, led to us being on opposite ends of the country, and this song is supposed to convey the essence of missing somebody so badly that it doesn't feel like you can go on without them. She's a very special person in my life, and always will be. I'm grateful to have known somebody so influential at all. I had a very hard time writing with real emotion until I met her, and I can never thank her enough for that."
Newcomer Blvck Svm delivers the track's final verse like a velvet hammer pounding the final coffin nails into a dying relationship. The Bleach rapper was a big get for Bowers — and he knew working with him would be the icing on the cake. "It can be intimidating working with a guy with that kind of musical prowess and so many spins, knowing he's going to come in and steal the whole show with one verse," cracks Bowers. "But his chill lyricism was exactly what I needed to bring this one home and I was so happy to get him on this track."
Following up his 2020 EP Intermission, Wandering is the first step toward a new collection showcasing Bowers' return to self-production and creating his own beats. "I've always respected people like Mac Miller, Kanye, and more recently Sebastian Paul, who had a hand in their own beats," explains Bowers. "My previous tracks were collabs with other producers, but I always feel like you can never achieve the type of sincerity in a track that you can when you were a part of the whole process. I'm extremely proud to be transitioning back into working on my own beats."
Listen to Wandering above, hear more from Tyler Bowers below, and wander over to his Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

Argentina draws with Brazil, qualifies for World Cup
Argentina secured a place in next year's World Cup after a 0-0 draw against Brazil on Tuesday, giving Lionel Messi one more shot at winning the only major trophy missing in his career.
Second-place Argentina qualified after Chile lost 2-0 at home to third-place Ecuador.
Competition-leading Brazil had already secured the first of South America's four direct entries to Qatar 2022.
Few opportunities were available for Argentina and Brazil in a tense match marked by Messi's low key performance and Neymar's absence due to injury. Goalkeepers Emiliano Martinez and Alisson were just about spectators most of the match.
Injury to Raphinha
The most controversial moment of the match in San Juan, in Argentina's Northwest, was in the 35th minute when Raphinha was hit by Nicolas Otemendi's elbow and started bleeding. There was no video review of the move. The Brazilian needed five stitches during the break.
Messi, who played the entire match after recovering from a knee injury, said he felt well on the pitch. He played for only 15 minutes in Argentina's 1-0 win over Uruguay last week so he could recover to face Brazil.

"It is not easy to play with the pace that this match demanded," Messi said after the match. He had only one opportunity from the edge of the box near the final whistle, but it was easily saved by Brazil goalkeeper Alisson.
Brazil player Fred, who hit the bar with a shot in the 60th minute, said his team's defence was once more tested and once more succeeded in qualifiers. "Today we didn't score, we missed some opportunities, but once again we have a clean sheet," he said. "We hope to arrive well at the World Cup."
Brazil leads South American qualifiers with 35 points, six ahead of Argentina. Both teams have completed 13 games, one fewer than scheduled because their encounter in September was suspended after seven minutes when Brazilian officials belatedly enforced COVID-19 restrictions.

Two-time World Cup champion Uruguay lost 3-0 at Bolivia and will finish the year out of qualifying positions for a spot in Qatar, in seventh place in the 10-team round-robin competition.
The Uruguay squad has four matches remaining to push for qualification.

The top four teams in South America earn direct entry to the World Cup. The fifth-place team goes into an intercontinental playoff for a spot in Qatar next year.
Bolivia opened the scoring in the 30th minute when goalkeeper Fernando Muslera failed to hold Juan Carlos Arce's cross. Marcelo Martins got the second in the altitude of La Paz with a header in the 45th.
Arce finished off in the 79th with another header. It could have been worse for Uruguay had Bolivia not missed a penalty in the second half.
Uruguay coach Óscar Tabárez told a post-match news conference he's not "throwing in the towel."
"I am a professional, I signed a contract and it says everything I need to do," the veteran coach said. "I don't know who can ask me to do that (resign) after this time at work."
During his second spell with Uruguay, Tabárez took the team to the past three World Cups, including a memorable campaign to the semifinals in South Africa in 2010. He has also won the 2011 Copa America.
Peru beats Venezuela
Peru overtook Uruguay after a 2-1 win at Venezuela, moving Ricardo Gareca's team to 17 points along with Colombia, which had a 0-0 draw with Paraguay.
Gianluca Lapadula opened the scoring for the visiting team in the 18th minute and Venezuela's Darwin Machis equalised in the 52nd. Christian Cueva netted the winner in the 65th, and Peru goalkeeper Pedro Gallese saved a penalty to keep his team in the lead.
1. Bolivia 3-0 Uruguay
2. Venezuela 1-2 Peru
3. Colombia 0-0 Paraguay
4. Argentina 0-0 Brazil
5. Chile 0-2 Ecuador.
