Engineers at the University of Liverpool are part of a £10.6million innovative aerospace project that aims to develop a novel test and certification process for aeronautical structures, which will combine virtual and physical tests to provide a step reduction in development lead-time and costs.
The ‘Smarter Testing’ project is led by Airbus UK and partners include the University, Dassault Systemes UK, Center for Modelling and Simulation (CFMS), National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and GOM UK.

With Google stating that it may remove search from Australia if the media bargaining code goes ahead in its current form, there’s something of an open question about what that means for IoT gadgets like smart speakers.

A spokesperson said: Our Story in the Making: NI Beyond 100 was created to recognise the stories of the people of Northern Ireland from all communities, past and present. Permission for use of the Seamus Heaney portrait was granted by Queen s University Belfast, which holds rights to the portrait.
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood last week slammed the cynical use of Mr Heaney s image in Northern Ireland s centenary campaign as deeply offensive .The Foyle MP told this newspaper: Heaney s significant body of work belongs to everyone on this island. It is his account of life in a place struggling with its own identity and it would be wrong, therefore, to attempt to associate his image with a particular political narrative.
The director of the Seamus Heaney Centre has said that he did not give permission for the late poet s image to be used in the Government s Northern Ireland centenary campaign.

Dr. Reich is a geneticist at Harvard who specializes in the study of ancient DNA. Dr. Patterson is a sociologist at Harvard with expertise in the Caribbean.
Patterson is a Jamaican-American mulatto, whose Jamaicanness presumably is assumed to empower him to comment on the fate of the indigenous populations of Jamaica, despite not showing his DNA test results proving he is descended from some Amerindians. Anyway, it’s a good strategy for Reich to recruit senior Harvard professors like Patterson of more or less the appropriate ancestry to co-write his mainstream essays with him.
