        SpaceX has pulled off a successful test flight of its newest generation rocket Starship, reversing a trend of disappointing failures. The world's largest and most powerful rocket blasted off from Texas just after 18:30 local time, for a 60-minute flight. Parts of the engine appeared to explode at one stage, and flaps on the side of the rocket caught fire and swung from side to side. The US space agency Nasa plans to use Starship to send humans to the Moon for its Artemis programme in 2027.

       "Great work by the SpaceX team!!", posted SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on X, who is spending billions on developing Starship, with each launch costing an estimated $100m. He will be welcoming the success after three Starship launches ended in failure this year, and one rocket exploded on its test stand in June. Starship is the largest and most powerful rocket built to date, made up of a booster called Super Heavy and the spacecraft Starship.

        The signs were positive from the start of Tuesday's test flight. All of the booster's 33 engines fired up, and after about seven minutes, the booster separated from the spacecraft and fell into the Gulf of Mexico. Starship continued to ascend, reaching a maximum height of almost 200 km above Earth before coasting around the planet. SpaceX said it intended to put the rocket under stress to test its limits, and parts of the rocket's flaps appeared to burn and swing wildly during the descent. The company has designed Starship to one day be a fully reusable transport system capable of carrying people to the Moon and Mars.

Should all pupils get the right to an outdoor education week?

Kirsten Campbell


    In a matter of days the government will make a decision that could affect generations of children to come. For many, the Primary 7 outdoor residential trip is one of the highlights of their school days. For some, it is inspirational, even lifechanging. A members bill making its way through the Scottish Parliament would guarantee a week of residential outdoor education for every pupil. When it was put first put forward by Conservative MSP Liz Smith, the Schools (Residential Outdoor Education) (Scotland) bill won majority support, but it faces what could prove to be an insurmountable obstacle. Without government financial backing it looks doomed to fall. And at a time when budgets are already tight, not everyone is convinced such a commitment is the best use of resources.
    Liz Smith, herself a former teacher, says she has seen the benefits of outdoor education first hand and wants to ensure every child gets the opportunity during their time at school. Her proposed new law would mean every pupil in Scotland is entitled to four nights and five days of outdoor education. But while it was backed in principle in March, it cannot proceed unless the government tables a financial resolution - and so far that hasn't happened. Smith believes the experience of outdoor education can be transformative for children. “I think we should be trying to level up, to ensure that young people, whoever they are, whatever their background, whatever their family circumstances, they should have that opportunity.” She argues the benefits are powerful - and backed up by evidence. “The statistics we have show that if they have participated in residential outdoor education, their attendance is better, their behaviour is better, their self-discipline is better.”
    “What could be better than that?”
    But there is a postcode lottery in provision of residential outdoor education, with research for the University of Edinburgh stating that just a third of secondary schools and only a quarter of primary schools offer this type of experience. Thirty minutes from Glasgow, Dounans outdoor education centre, in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, gives school groups a taste of the outdoors. A Primary 7 group from Fife is spending a week taking part in activities like canoeing, tree climbing and raft-building. Harris, 11, was first to climb to the top of a tall tree as his classmates looked on. “When everyone was cheering me on that helped,” he said. “I was proud of myself for doing that because it was really high.” Ten-year-old Orla was next. “I was nervous and shivery and thought it did look pretty high. It was like a feeling of accomplishment - I felt super happy and joyful.”
    One of the biggest problems though is that the experience doesn't come cheap. Liz Smith estimates the policy would cost between £25m and £40m a year. The minister for children, Natalie Don-Innes, told MSPs that was unaffordable and ringfencing cash for outdoor education could be to the detriment of other activities. She said: “Where would you seek to cut funding from in education? Would it be our teachers, our schools, would it be nurseries or our colleges?”
   A Scottish government spokesman said: “Both the education committee and the Scottish government have been clear that outstanding issues on the affordability of the bill, impact on the education workforce and ensuring provision is equitable for children across Scotland, need to be addressed   before a decision can be taken to lodge a motion for a financial resolution.”
     The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla) also has concerns about the practicalities, questioning the impact on staffing, the costs of transport and what it would mean for schools' ability to take part in other trips relating to geography, history or the arts. But the Outward Bound Trust believes it would be an investment. It has highlighted the findings of a global study across eight countries, including the UK, which concluded that for every £1 invested in Outward Bound programmes, there is a return of between £5 and £15 in societal value.
     Chief Executive Martin Davidson said: “Outward Bound doesn't teach young people to canoe or to climb, what we teach young people is about themselves. “But we do that through fantastic adventures and outdoor activities that help them learn about themselves and working with others.” The Scottish Parliament will continue to grapple with the issues in both the chamber and in committee over the next couple of days. But time is running out. If the funding issues aren't resolved by the end of the month, the legislation will fall, despite having the backing of most MSPs.

Cryptography is the process of hiding or coding information so that only the person a message was intended for can read it. The art of cryptography has been used to code messages for thousands of years and continues to be used in bank cards, computer passwords, and ecommerce. Modern cryptography techniques include algorithms and ciphers that enable the encryption and decryption of information, such as 128‑bit and 256‑bit encryption keys. Modern ciphers, such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), are considered virtually unbreakable.

A common cryptography definition is the practice of coding information to ensure only the person that a message was written for can read and process the information. This cybersecurity practice, also known as cryptology, combines various disciplines like computer science, engineering, and mathematics to create complex codes that hide the true meaning of a message. Cryptography can be traced all the way back to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics but remains vital to securing communication and information in transit and preventing it from being read by untrusted parties. It uses algorithms and mathematical concepts to transform messages into difficult‑to‑decipher codes through techniques like cryptographic keys and digital signing to protect data privacy, credit card transactions, email, and web browsing.

Cryptography remains important to protecting data and users, ensuring confidentiality, and preventing cyber criminals from intercepting sensitive corporate information. Individuals and organizations use cryptography on a daily basis to protect their privacy and keep their conversations and data confidential. The technique ensures confidentiality by encrypting sent messages using an algorithm with a key only known to the sender and recipient. A common example of this is the messaging tool WhatsApp, which encrypts conversations between people to ensure they cannot be hacked or intercepted. It also secures browsing, such as with virtual private networks (VPNs), which use encrypted tunnels, asymmetric encryption, and public and private shared keys.

Similar to how cryptography can confirm the authenticity of a message, it can also prove the integrity of the information being sent and received. The technology also ensures information is not altered while in storage or during transit between the sender and the intended recipient. For example, digital signatures can detect forgery or tampering in software distribution and  financial transactions.Cryptography confirms accountability and responsibility from the sender of a message, which means they cannot later deny their intentions when they created or transmitted information. Digital signatures are a good example of this, as they ensure a sender cannot claim a message, contract, or document they created to be fraudulent. Furthermore, in email nonrepudiation, email tracking makes sure the sender cannot deny sending a message and a recipient cannot deny receiving it.

There are many types of cryptographic algorithms available. They vary in complexity and security, depending on the type of communication and the sensitivity of the information being shared.

    It has been common in second language teaching to stress the role of interference – that is, the interfering effects of the native language on the target (the second) language. It is of course not surprising that this process has been so singled out, for native language interference is surely the most immediately noticeable source of error among second language learners. The saliency of interference has been so strong that some have viewed second language learning as exclusively involving the overcoming of the effects of the native language. It is clear from learning theory that a person will use whatever previous experience he or she has had with language to facilitate the second language learning process. The native language is an obvious set of prior experiences. For example, a French native speaker might say in English, “I am in New York since January,” a perfectly logical transfer of the comparable French sentence “Je suis a New York depuis Janvier.” Because of the negative transfer of the French verb form to English, the French system has, in this case, interfered with the person’s production of a correct English form.

Regarding morphosyntactic structures and verb phrase analysis in the recipe "Cold Kimchi Tomato Bibim Noodles," judge the statements below.

I.The phrasal verb "shake off" in "shake off excess water" consists of a transitive separable phrasal verb where "shake" functions as the lexical verb and "off" as an adverbial particle modifying the verb's meaning to indicate removal or elimination, and this construction could be paraphrased as "remove by shaking" without significant semantic loss.

II.The passive voice construction "until each strand is coated" demonstrates a grammatical transformation from an active equivalent "until the sauce coats each strand," where the patient (each strand) becomes the syntactic subject while the agent (sauce) is demoted or omitted, and this passivization serves the rhetorical function of maintaining focus on the noodles rather than the sauce throughout the instructional sequence.

III.The temporal subordinate clause "until completely cooled" in "rinse under cold water until completely cooled" exhibits ellipsis of the subject and auxiliary verb, with the complete structure being "until [the noodles are] completely cooled," and this syntactic reduction represents a common feature of procedural discourse where redundant elements are omitted for brevity and efficiency.


The following statement(s) is/are CORRECT:

Shipbuilder sued by owner, operator of ship in deadly Baltimore bridge collapse


The owner and operator of the container ship involved in a deadly Baltimore bridge collapse in March 2024 are suing the ship's builder, alleging a defective control panel design caused a power outage that led to the disaster.

The Dali twice lost power as it was departing Baltimore harbor and drifted out of control into a support of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, collapsing the span and killing six highway workers.

The collapse also caused an extended supply chain snarl at the Port of Baltimore, which hosts a major coal terminal and had been the leading U.S. hub for vehicle imports.

In a lawsuit filed July 31 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, owner Grace Ocean Private Limited and operator Synergy Marine Private Limited accused Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), the ship's builder, of negligence that caused the fatal incident.

The plaintiffs charged that a defective design, specifically a loose wire in an electrical switchboard, caused a power outage at 1:25 a.m. the night of the collapse, cutting power to the engine and steering systems.

The National Transportation Safety Board in a 2024 report found that a cable that should have connected to a control for blackout protection was loose. That could have caused the switchboard to lose power without being detected.

Grace Ocean and Synergy Marine have denied wrongdoing since April 2024 but late that same year agreed to pay $102 million for civil claims brought by the federal government and other incident-related costs. 

The plaintiffs are seeking damages for vessel repairs and coverage for any third party claims.
