Today, we are pleased to announce the results of a six-month long research project conducted by Altitude Angel and Imperial College London, supported by Microsoft.
How to successfully integrate manned and unmanned aviation into our skies safely is widely considered to be one of the factors limiting the transformative potential of civilian drone technology, and proving how this can be achieved while meeting rigorous aviation safety standards is a critical concern.
Around the world, drones are typically restricted to flight within the visual line-of-sight of their human pilot. While the uses of drones are many and varied, this restriction does severely hamper the transformative potential of this technology, limiting its usefulness. Although many drones are themselves capable of basic 'automatic' flight, the lack of any traffic coordination, awareness of other – manned and unmanned – airspace users or even proper data about the regulatory environment are all hindrances to having these restrictions lifted.
Traditional methods of air traffic control do not scale well to the unmanned traffic environment (and, for the most part, would be inappropriate) and there are many complex challenges to be overcome in developing an automated substitute. "That's why this study, led by Altitude Angel and Imperial College London, has such a profound relevance to the development of the drone industry on a global scale", said Richard Parker, Founder & CEO of Altitude Angel.
Building on Altitude Angel's existing technology and under the guidance of our engineers, 14 undergraduate Computing students from Imperial College London split into two teams and went head-to-head to find the most effective algorithms for enabling drones to go about their business while avoiding each other, other air traffic and hazards.
The students then had to verify their algorithms against a series of tough simulation scenarios powered by Altitude Angel's drone cloud platform, designed to be representative of possible "real-world" scenarios. This means, in practice, that the teams had to cater for both risks known at pre-flight as well as risks that become apparent during a flight; factors which are often omitted in other emerging UTM systems.
Using just a modest amount of computing power in Altitude Angel's cloud, the students proved that over 1,000 drones could successfully co-exist with both manned and unmanned aviation in a dense, 1 km² area, avoiding no-fly zones and crossing paths at a safe distance without human intervention, achieving a 0% rate of conflict.
An executive overview of the full research white paper will be available to download from this blog post shortly. An overview case study can be downloaded here.

Q: Read last line of text file I need to know how to read the last line of a text file. I need to find the line and then process it into a SQL database...
I've been reading around and scouring the web but am battling to find the proper way to do this.  I.e.:

*

*Find last line of file.

*Process last line of file.

A: I would simply combine File.ReadLines(path) and Enumerable.Last:
String last = File.ReadLines(@"C:\file.txt").Last();

It streams the lines and does not load all into memory as File.ReadAllLines.

A: First part:
File.ReadAllLines(@"c:\some\path\file.txt").Last();

or
File.ReadLines(@"c:\some\path\file.txt").Last();

ReadLines is prefered.

A: There are two ways: simple and inefficient, or horrendously complicated but efficient. The complicated version assumes a sane encoding.
Unless your file is so big that you really can't afford to read it all, I'd just use:
var lastLine = File.ReadLines("file.txt").Last();

Note that this uses File.ReadLines, not File.ReadAllLines. If you're using .NET 3.5 or earlier you'd need to use File.ReadAllLines or write your own code - ReadAllLines will read the whole file into memory in one go, whereas ReadLines streams it.
Otherwise, the complicated way is to use code similar to this. It tries to read backwards from the end of the file, handling nastiness such as UTF-8 multi-byte characters. It's not pleasant.

A: string m = "";
StreamReader r = new StreamReader("file_path");
while (r.EndOfStream == false)
{
    m = r.ReadLine();
}
Console.WriteLine("{0}\n", m);
r.Close();

A: Note: All this code assumes UTF-8. If you need to support a code page that uses double wide chars like Unicode, then you need to add extra checks to the char before and/or after the newline to make sure it is really a newline.
One of the primary use cases of this question is scraping the end of a log file. The other answers unfortunately die a horrible death when log files get into the megabytes. Imagine running every line on every call on a tiny single core VPS... yikes.
The nice thing about UTF-8 is that when you hit a '\n' character, you don't have to worry about any dependent bytes because any byte with the high bit clear in UTF8-8 is simply an ASCII character. Pretty handy!
You could use the solution at 'How to read a text file reversely with iterator in C#', but be aware that the code is fairly complex. If you just need a simple UTF-8 line trailer, this solution will work very well and perform great even on large log files.
If you are monitoring lots of files at once and are using something like a FileSystemWatcher in C#, this performance gain will be very important. I am using very similar code on a cheap single cpu Linux VPS to monitor login failures and put ip addresses in the firewall in my MIT licensed project https://github.com/DigitalRuby/IPBan, using https://github.com/DigitalRuby/IPBan/blob/master/IPBanCore/Core/Utility/LogFileScanner.cs (which handles multiple new lines at once).
You'd be suprised at how large auth.log can get when your SSH port is public facing. If you are reading dozens or even hundreds of files regularly, you'll be really glad you didn't use File.ReadAllLines().Last();
As this is only a page of code, it's a nice balance between simple and very fast.
C# Code ...
/// <summary>
/// Utility class to read last line from a utf-8 text file in a performance sensitive way. The code does not handle a case where more than one line is written at once.
/// </summary>
public static class UTF8FileUtilities

    {
        // open read only, we don't want any chance of writing data
        using (System.IO.Stream fs = System.IO.File.OpenRead(path))
        {

            fs.Position = fs.Length - 1;

            // the file must end with a '\n' char, if not a partial line write is in progress
            int byteFromFile = fs.ReadByte();
            if (byteFromFile != '\n')
            {
                // partial line write in progress, do not return the line yet
                return null;
            }

            // move back to the new line byte - the loop will decrement position again to get to the byte before it
            fs.Position--;

            // while we have not yet reached start of file, read bytes backwards until '\n' byte is hit
            while (fs.Position > 0)
            {
                fs.Position--;
                byteFromFile = fs.ReadByte();
                if (byteFromFile < 0)
                {
                    // the only way this should happen is if someone truncates the file out from underneath us while we are reading backwards
                    throw new System.IO.IOException("Error reading from file at " + path);
                }
                else if (byteFromFile == '\n')
                {
                    // we found the new line, break out, fs.Position is one after the '\n' char
                    break;
                }
                fs.Position--;
            }

            // fs.Position will be right after the '\n' char or position 0 if no '\n' char
            byte[] bytes = new System.IO.BinaryReader(fs).ReadBytes((int)(fs.Length - fs.Position));
            return System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);
        }
    }

I Remember Nightfall (Paperback)
By Marosa Di Giorgio, Jeannine Marie Pitas (Translator)
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Jeannine Pitas in a bilingual edition. Cover art by Basil King. This new translation of Marosa di Giorgio, one of Uruguay's most famous poets, includes four book-length poems from the middle of her career: The History of Violets (1965); Magnolia (1968); The War of the Orchards (1971); and The Native Garden is in Flames (1975). Occupying the same childhood landscapes that may be familiar to English-language readers from the previously published volume The History of Violets (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2010), these serial prose poems explore memory, familial relationships, erotic desire, and war. Marosa di Giorgio uses the recurring setting of a garden as a stage for the ongoing encounter of nature and the supernatural.

Q: How do I nest image filters in Python? I am adjusting the filter with checkboxes.
However, contrary to the intention, the filters were not nested.
Also, if one checkbox is cleared, the image is restored even if other checkboxes are checked.
How can I nest filters and make only that filter disappear when I uncheck the checkbox?
def image_show(image):
    canvas.image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
    canvas.create_image(0, 0, image=canvas.image, anchor="nw")

def press1():
    if(var1.get()==1):
        img_BLUR = image_call.filter(ImageFilter.BLUR)
        image_show(img_BLUR)
    elif(var1.get()==0):
        image_show(image_call)

def press2():
    if (var2.get() == 1):
        img_EMBOSS = image_call.filter(ImageFilter.EMBOSS)
        image_show(img_EMBOSS)
    elif (var2.get() == 0):
        image_show(image_call)

def press3():
    if (var3.get() == 1):
        img_CONTOUR = image_call.filter(ImageFilter.CONTOUR)
        image_show(img_CONTOUR)
    elif (var3.get() == 0):
        image_show(image_call)

check_btn1 = Checkbutton(new, variable=var1, text="BLUR", command=press1)
check_btn2 = Checkbutton(new, variable=var2, text="EMBOSS", command=press2)
check_btn3 = Checkbutton(new, variable=var3, text="CONTOUR", command=press3)

I know roughly what the problem is.
It's probably because image_show is called with a new value every time the filter is processed.
So, filters cannot overlap, and if any checkbox is cleared, the image will be restored to its original state.

A: You could combine the three pressN functions into a single function, within it sequentially modify the image with each filter one after another (conditional on the state of varN), then display the image once it's ready with all the selected filters applied.


Marsh plants, sometimes called bog plants, are those species which can grow in permanently moist soil, but which cannot tolerate flooded soil or having their crown or foliage underwater all year round. Many plants sold as pond plants are in fact marsh plants. Marsh plants can be planted around the edges of the pond, where the soil is wet. All marsh plants will also grow perfectly happily in a standard flower bed as a 'normal' garden plant. Although they will obviously not tolerate drought, they do not actually require wet soil in order to grow well.
There is an extremely wide range of marsh plants (far wider than true pond plants). Here at Water Garden Plants we focus on rare native marsh plants which are difficult to find elsewhere.


Abstract: Barium strontium titanate (Ba1-xSrxTiO3) thin films prepared to BST/TiO2/RuO2/SiO2/Si substrates using sol-gel process with composition x = 0.4. Then the sample annealed at 600oC, 650oC and 700°C for 60 minutes in the air. The XRD pattern, dielectric properties and leakage current films have been measured to investigate the effect of annealing temperature on the properties of the device. The results showed that all the films have a perovskite structure. Dielectric measurements show that at 25oC and 1 kHz, the dielectric constant and loss tangent of about 67 and 2.07; 341 and 3.23; 1300 and 0.54, respectively. Leakage current to 0.5 V at room temperature is 8.23 x 10-5 A cm-2, 2.77 x 10-5 A cm-2 and 2.00 x 10-4 A cm-2, respectively. The highest voltage value at a distance of 5 cm was obtained for the sensor.
Abstract: The goal of this research is to resolve the crisis of energy through efforts to reduce the use of fossil oil fuel (OF). The specific target to be achieved is to convert the vertical dynamic load four wheeled vehicles into renewable energy that can be used as energy reserves. The target can be achieved by substitution methods that replace the use of fuel energy with repetitive dynamic load of vehicles passing on the road. The method used in this study is sucking and injecting the air outside into the storage tank using vertical dynamic load of four-wheeled vehicles. Vertical dynamic load is obtained through a mechanism of flexible portal mounted transversely on the road surface. The mechanism of injection is done by a pneumatic cylinder piston which is actuated up and down by the portal crushed by the wheels (tires) of vehicles. The compressed air storage process is supported by the installation of some non return valve and the reducer connection on both inlet storage tank. Variations weight of the vehicle : light, medium and heavy that cross the road surface simultaneously pump the air outside into the storage tank. The amount of injection pressure of a pneumatic cylinder comes from the dynamic load vehicles at about 0.3 bar to 0.5 bar. This renewable energy can replace the use of fuel or electricity to produce compressed air.
Keywords: Dynamic loads, vehicle, renewable energy, pneumatic cylinder, tank.
Abstract: A State has a number of duties over ships flying its flag, among other things, is to ensure that every ship complies with the safety standards. As a country with vast area of waters, it is inevitable that sea transport plays an important role in Indonesia's economic development. The Indonesian Shipping Act which has been enacted in 2008 covers, among others, standards and regulations on maritime safety and security. In the past, Indonesia's reputation in managing its safety record getting improved now due to some efforts made by the government. In addition to mandatory inspections that a ship must undergo, to ensure the safety standards are met, the government also conducts random safety checks during heavy traffic in particular seasons in selected locations. Findings are followed-up accordingly, as the random check, considering Technoculture Prinsiples, is also used as a corrective measure for the ship's operators as well as for safety officials for better performance in the future. Unseaworthy ships are requested to rectify their deficiencies and severe violations of safety standards and regulations result in the banning of the ships from operation, either temporarily or permanently depending on the severity of the violations.
Keywords: Technoculture, Maritime safety, safety check, seaworthiness.

I'm sure "gold" will be included somewhere.
I hope it's not too 'cliche'.
oh wait, the city didn't spend thousands of dollars for someone down South to name the team so it might actually be a good name!
We should be hearing something after 4 PM today.
Oooo la la. Timmins' own Steve Sullivan—currently the Player Development Coach with the Arizona Coyotes—will be a Senior Advisor.
i had time to reflect on the name (Timmins Rock) and In my opinion it does not flow off the tongue, there seems to be something missing.
I tried different popular name association with the word "rock" and for a local "mining community" ROCK HOUNDS came to mind.
Definition of ROCK HOUND. 1 : a specialist in geology. : an amateur rock and mineral collector.
timmins rock hounds... what do you think ?
It could have been a lot worse, but it could have been a lot better. I agree, it doesn't flow off the tongue well.
Sounds like a radio station. Isn't Q92's slogan, "Timmins Best Rock"? Sounds like they will advertising each other the whole time.
it's because it doesn't finish with an H.... think of it like Orlando Magic, or Miami Heat. Most other pro team names end with an S..


Stellar cool-climate wines, seasonal local produce given a serious gourmet spin and even happiness in bowl - no wonder this picturesque region is a breakout star of the dining scene.
Though barely 20 minutes from the South Australian capital, the Adelaide Hills feels a world away from the suburban plains and grid-like arrangement of the CBD. Here, winding roads trace the undulating hills, while thick bushland pauses only for patchworks of orchards, vineyards and pastoral land. Many of the towns have a charming European feel, thanks to the early Prussian and English settlers who made this home from the late 1830s. But it was pioneering winemakers who really put this region on the map, tagging it an ideal spot for growing grapes – particularly varietals like pinot noir, chardonnay and shiraz – when they arrived in the 1970s. And while wine is what the Hills are still most famous for today, some new arrivals seem set to shake that up – acclaimed chefs and producers, who are busy driving the region's reputation as a gourmet destination. Here are 10 of the best restaurants and eateries to check out now.
With its rich, full-bodied coffee and menu of tricked-up comfort food, this bright and contemporary café is your morning go-to. Daily blackboard specials keep the offering interesting but locals go into meltdown if staples like Frenchy French Toast and Happiness in a Bowl! (that's barbecued pork belly, kimchi, chilli caramel and omelette with a pea and mint salad) disappear.
This vineyard restaurant's success comes down to three things: award-winning wines, an innovative seasonal menu overseen by ex-Ritz London chef Adam Bowden and expansive decks that overlook the vines of Lenswood. The five-course tasting menu, on offer from Thursday to Sunday, is excellent value.
The Hills' newest venture is not a single cellar door but a mighty multi-brand collaboration that brings together Mismatch Brewing Co., Adelaide Hills Distillery, The Hills Cider Company, Vinteloper wines and Ashton Valley Fresh juices. Floor-to-ceiling windows and an industrial aesthetic create an airy setting in the tasting space/restaurant, while sprawling lawns and deck tables outside are perfect for families. In the kitchen, Adelaide dough-master Tom Bubner and ex-Orana chef Shannon Fleming craft sensational woodfired pizzas and other delicious Italo-inspired fare from locally sourced produce.
The shaded deck at Howard Vineyard makes it an idyllic place to spend a Sunday afternoon, while the set-course lunch banquet ups the ante with a seasonal feast featuring dishes such as seared salmon tataki with wasabi mayo, crispy pork and kimchi dumpling, and beef salad with Vietnamese bun-cha dressing.
A rollcall of authentic Japanese specialities shine at this Aldgate eatery: succulent handmade pork gyoza, crunchy bites of light tempura and regional hits such as okonomiyaki (savoury omelette-style pancakes). The real winner, though, is the fresh, precision-cut sushi and sashimi. Let the knowledgeable staff guide you through the selection of sake, local wines and highballs to accompany your meal.
The French-inspired bistro at the beautifully restored Crafers pub is always buzzing. Chef Stéphane Brizard, who took over last August, has made his mark with dishes "inspired by my childhood growing up on a farm". Seasonal signatures include salmon coulibiac – a fish pie with mushroom, spinach and rice in puff pastry – and pan-seared veal fillet with king prawns, béarnaise sauce and pommes mousseline.
When this low-key establishment opened in 2016, it quickly became a darling among the food set. The menu, overseen by chef Oliver Edwards, changes weekly and is both fiercely seasonal and highly local. Dishes read like a gastronome's shopping list (broccoli, lardo, kimchi-roasted sunflowers; cavatelli, porcini, corn; snapper, coriander and last summer's zucchini vinegar) and are full of flavour. A natural-focused wine list and communal tables complete the picture.
High tea at a cheesery? Trust us. Udder Delights, on the main drag in Hahndorf, serves one of the best high teas in the state. There's a range of savoury and sweet morsels, such as goat's curd and caramelised onion tarts and raspberry cheesecake, accompanied by a glass of local sparkling wine. In the fridges, pick up goodies to take away – cheeses, charcuterie, crackers, dips, olives, relishes and more.
The signature Chocolate and Coffee Experience at this chocolatier/café, tucked away in a Stirling laneway, functions as a mini tasting – or choose from more than 10 different hot chocolates, as well as cakes, pastries, waffles and other treats. Need something to bring home? The range of chocolates, truffles and pralines make excellent gifts.

Maintaining optimum safety standards when running a spa is the most important duty a spa owner and manager must fulfill. Adhering to state and federal regulations is required by law and anything less can result in criminal violation. It is also good business. Clients deserve the very best and that means a clean and safe environment.
The benefits of following regulations are not only for owners and managers. Everyone on staff should be on board when it comes to following safety procedures. Spa safety is not just for the safety of the clients. State and federal regulations are also in place for the safety of the workers. For worker safety regulations, The United States Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website is a good place to start (osha.gov/law-regs).
It can seem daunting to know the differences between state and federal regulations. Professionals should check with their state cosmetology board for the most up-to-date information on proper cleansing and disinfection of their establishment. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires proper cleaning and sterilization procedures and disposal of materials (epa.gov).
In addition, proper ergonomics and spa layout, as well as the way a facial room is organized, are also important for overall safety. Here are 10 safety tips to consider when reviewing spa safety measures.
It is not just about looks. The design of a spa is not just about creating a relaxing, luxurious environment for clients and staff. A properly constructed and equipped treatment room is also an essential part of spa safety. First, a healthy, properly ventilated work space is essential. Fumes from skin care treatments, as well as cleaning and disinfectant materials, must be properly eliminated. Air vents must be present in the room, providing both input and output of air. This means having two separate vents that are properly functioning and calibrated for two or more people within the room. When it comes to size, the treatment room should be at least 80 square feet (8 X 10) to insure proper movement of the aesthetician in the space. Neither the professional nor the client should ever feel cramped. Electrical outlets are also an important consideration. With the use of more and more electrical machines, as well as computers, within the treatment room, the proper amount of electrical outlets, with subsequent appropriate electrical service capability, is essential to the proper functioning of the treatment room. Treatment rooms should have a minimum of four separate electrical outlets. Never use extension cords or multiple plug appliances within the room, as these can overheat and become a fire hazard. Always be sure that all wires are not in the way of the professional or client.
Ergonomics are another element of spa safety. The equipment and the positions professionals use should be healthy for the spine and body. Adjust the facial table height, if possible. When setting up, remember to align the stool with the facial table for the correct height and position for performing services. The technician's feet should be flat on the floor and hands should be below chest level. A good stool, with back support, is essential for aesthetic work. It is worth paying a little more for a well-padded and quality stool. The room setup should be comfortable for the technician to avoid strain on the hands, body, and back. Arrange the supply cart or counter as close to the facial table as possible.
Know the difference between disinfection and sterilization. Disinfection is the treatment of a surface to destroy potentially disease-causing microorganisms. Sterilization is the process that destroys all microbial life. A wet, EPA-registered disinfectant must be located in each treatment room for disinfecting tools and equipment and all implements must be thoroughly cleaned before being placed in this disinfectant solution. It is important to note that an ultraviolet sanitizer unit does not disinfect tools and is only used for storage.
Guidelines for proper disinfection, cleaning, and sanitation should be posted in several areas of the spa. Keep a protocol of proper procedure in each room. Clean and disinfect after each use using a state regulated disinfectant or 70 percent isopropyl alcohol solution. Also, change the high-level disinfectant solution in the container according to the manufacturer's directions. It is important to keep a disinfectant log to make sure this is done regularly. Properly dispose of used supplies in a closed lid trash can. Make sure to turn off the table warmer, if it was used. Clean, turn off, and unplug wax machines at the end of each day. Disinfect steamers and magnifying lamps. Disinfect bottom trays and inside of the towel warmers after removing all used items. Disinfect and turn off any other equipment used. Clean all containers and wipe off dirty product containers with a disinfectant. Clean all counters, sinks, surfaces, and floor mats with disinfectant. Appropriate handling of single-use items involves the following: soiled items such as gloves and extraction supplies must be placed in a covered waste container; while in use, single-use items must be placed on surfaces that can be disinfected or disposed of, such as a paper towel; disposable extraction lancets go in a biohazard/sharps container.
Be vigilant about gloves and hand washing. OSHA requires that gloves be worn when there is a reasonable likelihood that hands will be in contact with blood, mucous, non-intact skin (such as open acne lesions), possibly contaminated items, or contaminated surfaces. Gloves should be properly put on and worn during treatments and during cleaning and disinfection, removed properly, and discarded in a closed receptacle, followed by a thorough hand washing. When looking to buy proper gloves, consider: fit – if too loose professionals will not be able to perform facials or body procedures correctly; proper material – because of the increase in latex sensitivities both in the aesthetician and client, opt for vinyl gloves; non-powdered – studies show that powdered gloves actually absorb the infectious microorganisms rather than block or repel them. Keep in mind that frequent, proper hand washing is the first and most essential preventative measure to control and prevent the transmission of germs. Wash hands in antibacterial soap for sixty second before and after every client contact.
Properly dispose of any item containing blood or other bodily fluids, as well as sharp objects such as lancets. This is regulated by OSHA. It is important to know and understand not only OSHA regulations, but state regulations, as well. For example, some states do not allow lancets to be used during facials. If lancets are permissible, they must be disposed of after every use in a specific disposal unit called a sharps box. Other items, such as cotton or swabs, must be disposed of in a biohazard container if they have been in contact with blood or other bodily fluid or materials. It is important to check state regulations, as well.
An autoclave is a sterilizer for implements that completely kills all microorganism including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and bacterial spores. An autoclave sterilizes by providing pressurized steam. All reusable implements need to be sterilized in between treatments. Professionals who do not have a sterilizer or autoclave should not use reusuable implements. Proper cleaning, maintenance, and testing of a sterilizer are important to assure proper sterilization and to fulfill state regulations. Some states require weekly testing with state regulated materials. Check with state boards to ascertain what is required. In addition, follow the sterilizer's manufacturers' guidelines for daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning and maintenance to assure the machine is working at optimal level. Lack of maintenance can cause high and frequent repair costs. A lack of maintenance will also lead to deterioration and excessive wear of the contents being sterilized.
Use disposables. Using disposable items is the best way to ensure proper hygiene. Single-use items are disposable and can only be used once. Supply usage depends on each individual facility and may include the following: paper towels; client headbands to protect hair and hold it out of the way; personal service towels to drape over clients and to keep the work area clean; sterile cotton pads or single-use sponges to remove product from the skin; sterile gauze squares for use with certain facial treatments; sterile cotton pads for cleaning and for product application; medical grade tissues that do not contain fragrance or dyes for blotting the face; sterile cotton swabs for performing extractions (these can have wooden handles for extra strength); makeup sponges for applying makeup post-procedure and for applying product; disposable vinyl or nitrile gloves; a sealable plastic bag for proper disposal of single-use items; and lancets (see state regulations for extraction rules).
Safety data sheets are informational forms regarding every skin care product, both retail and professional, used in the spa which includes: the product name; product code; ingredients; relevant use of substance (cosmetic/skin care); restrictions on use as directed on product label; supplier details, like address; and emergency contact information, such as a phone number for the manufacturer. These also give details such as the identification of any hazardous substances, precautionary statements, first aid measures, accidental release measures, proper handling and storage. These should be kept in a binder or on the computer within the treatment room for easy access in case they are needed. Although skin care ingredients are fairly innocuous, standard procedure requires that these sheets also provide information on exposure control, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity and toxicological, ecological, disposal, and regulatory information, both national and international.
No double dipping. Proper hygiene is extremely important during waxing. The skin is more susceptible to infection during hair removal, as the hair is removed, and the follicles are opened. It is crucial to remember that although the wax pot is getting warmed and liquified in a heater, the temperature is not to the degree which kills germs and bacteria. The proper temperature to kill all bacteria is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit, far too hot to apply to the skin without burning. It is for this reason that the environment and instruments used to wax must be absolutely clean. Federal law says to treat everyone as though contaminated and to use preventative measure to prevent cross contamination. It is important to remember that, for the client's and aesthetician's safety, the proper protocols should always be implemented. Wash hands before and after each client, using liquid, antibacterial soap for at least 10 to 15 seconds. Use gloves to ensure the professional's safety and the safety of the client. Use non-latex versions and make sure they properly fit. It goes without saying, but must be said again: no double dipping. All non-disposable instruments must be sterilized in a sterilizer or autoclave before and after treatments. This includes metal spatulas, tweezers, and body brushes. Disposable items must be kept in a closed environment near the waxing station. Each treatment requires a fresh disposable sheet, towel, and paper covering. Clean and dust the treatment room each evening before going home. Remove all wax residue from the floor, trolley, and pot.
As professionals keep these 10 spa safety principles in mind and put them into practice, they will ensure a safe environment for all.

Chronic periodontitis ('gum disease') represents a major health problem in the UK. Surveys show that more than 50% of the population currently experience some degree of damage to bone or the soft tissues supporting the teeth. Approximately 10-15% of the population will lose a significant number of teeth as a result of chronic periodontitis: the more susceptible the patient, the more rapidly the bone loss progresses. In addition, around 1% of the population is susceptible to the aggressive forms of periodontitis. These patients can present with advanced levels of attachment (bone) loss and pocketing in their twenties or thirties. Although many patients do not immediately link their symptoms with gum disease, other patients report concerns with bleeding gums, drifting or loose teeth, a lack of mouth freshness or discomfort when eating, all of which are associated with periodontitis. Early diagnosis is important for periodontitis in order both to simplify treatment and improve prognosis.
Treatment of chronic periodontitis is highly successful in keeping teeth and improving both comfort and confidence. Non-surgical therapy is the foundation of periodontal care and this can also be successful when the disease is thought to be unresponsive or refractory. Effective self-care oral hygiene is the main key to success and we can help by equipping patients with skills and building their motivation and confidence to achieve this. In addition, meticulous instrumentation of the root surface (deep scaling or root planing) will lead to substantial improvements in periodontal health. A recent audit of our non-surgical care at PerioLondon demonstrated that 68% of initially deep pockets responded well to just one course of treatment, healing to 4mm or less. As a result of this approach, antibiotics are seldom needed.
Supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) begins when active treatment is complete. SPT maintains the health improvements achieved by the patient and is the long-term continuation of care. Most patients with periodontitis benefit from regular SPT, typically every three months, although this recall is dependent on health status and risk factors. SPT involves helping patients to maintain an effective daily plaque control routine and to overcome barriers which prevent the routine being effective. Monitoring of periodontal health is also an integral aspect together with removal of bacterial deposits and re-instrumentation of developing pockets. Our hygienists are highly experienced at providing SPT for periodontally susceptible individuals.

The Nonprofit Ethicist | Summer 2009
Woods Bowman
?Dear Nonprofit Ethicist,
After months of sleepless nights, I recently resigned from my position as the board chairman of a faith-based nonprofit. After being invited by a friend, I joined the board last year. I was elected without formal notice and was never invited to a board meeting or a meeting with the director. I am a former executive director of a nonprofit and the office manager of several organizations, so I know how the process should go. This organization is a faith-based crisis pregnancy center but is more along the lines of a pro-life organization.
I ended up being nominated for the position of secretary and treasurer, which I believed was easy enough for such a small agency. But what I uncovered blew me away. The nonprofit had not done an audit in 20 years, it owed the Internal Revenue Service money, and it had taken out a small line of credit—to meet payroll—that has never been paid off. A slew of past directors had mismanaged funds. The present director regularly used an ATM card to make withdrawals for petty cash, but no one had tracked the transactions.
Long story short, I was afraid. I informed my friend of the discrepancies and made a formal report for public record. My friend quit immediately. While I felt guilty because I had uncovered the wrongdoings, my husband advised me to stay on to try to fix the mess.
I did—and every step of the way met resistance. I encountered cheating on time logged, lying to donors, an inability to meet payroll, and staff members coming and going as they pleased. I tried to get the nonprofit free outside help, but it didn't want to change. I ended up quitting.
Can you give advice on the dos and don'ts of joining a nonprofit organization's board and explain the laws and rules that must be adhered to? Apparently, many faith-based nonprofit organizations intentionally break the law, contradicting the heavenly rules that they have chosen to abide by. Individuals who decide to participate in these kinds of activities are ultimately responsible for the executive director's and the board's decisions, and if they break the law, should know the penalties that lie ahead.
Dear Disillusioned,
First, these informal corner-cutting kinds of behavior are not uncommon among small nonprofits. And for your organization, a lack of systems was the modus operandi that worked—even if just barely. To put a good face on it, sometimes small groups are so focused on mission that they let the details of governance slide. But as you note, they sometimes justify their conduct citing a religious agenda, which is not ethically OK. They should know better.
You were the organization's worst nightmare. You not only highlighted its gaps but were openly scandalized by them, so it's not surprising that they circled the wagons. Your values were different.
Government oversight varies by state, but it tends to focus on criminally fraudulent activity, which is defined by a higher standard of malfeasance than you describe. This looks more like garden-variety negligence (except that the organization owed the IRS).
In an average case of mismanagement, the biggest risk is that board members could be held personally liable for their organization's debts to the IRS. Also, federal law places board members at risk of fines for paying insiders—which include the executive director, his immediate family, board members, and others who exert organizational control—more than "reasonable compensation." The law does not define "reasonable," but it outlines procedures that are presumed to produce a reasonable result. Look up "intermediate sanctions" on Wikipedia. It includes a hot link to the Federal Register.
So what should you do before you join a board? Examine the organization's culture concerning the issues that matter most to you. Before joining a board, do administrative "due diligence": (1) Ask for an audit or, if an audit is not required in that state for an organization of that size, certified financial statements. (2) If a nonprofit's gross receipts are in excess of $25,000, the organization should file a 990 Form with the IRS every year. Read the most recent filing, which will contain useful information about conflicts of interest and the like that do not appear in an audit. (3) Ask for copies of board minutes for the past two years. This documentation provides a wealth of insight. Incomplete or sloppy minutes suggest poor record keeping. (4) If an organization has paid staff, ask to see the most recent payroll tax deposit slip. If a nonprofit is not paying its taxes on time, ask for directions to the nearest exit.
Dear Nonprofit Ethicist,
I serve on the board of a nonprofit human-services organization that has a budget of $3.6 million. The current president and CEO wants to retire in 18 months, by which time she will have reached 20 years as head of the organization. During her tenure, the organization has been successful in its mission and fundraising. And she is well known and loved in the community. She has asked for a "retirement package" of more than $1 million. The organization has never encountered this kind of request. Is a retirement package of this size—or any size, for that matter—common in nonprofits? We are nervous about the possible public-relations implications.
—Confused Board Member
Dear Confused,
This is a jaw-dropper, alright. Although one can find examples of large retirement packages in mega-nonprofits, such as hospitals and universities, they always attract criticism. In an organization of your size, a $1 million retirement package is insane. No other word adequately describes it. Even if the board wants to give her a "golden handshake" for her years of service, it should keep in mind that federal law requires all compensation— including retirement packages—to be "reasonable," which means that a board cannot pay more than similar organizations pay for similar service in similar circumstances. Your organization's board should survey similar organizations, document its findings, and use the information to determine the size of the package. The full board should vote on the package, and no one with a conflict of interest should be allowed to participate. Failure to follow these steps could result in the IRS forcing restitution and imposing fines, called excess benefit taxes, on the individuals involved. The law also forbids indemnification (i.e., the organization cannot make the individuals whole). For further information about the law regarding nonprofit compensation, see my comments to Disillusioned above. You can tell your executive director, "We think you are worth $1 million, but our hands are tied." If you feel bold, tell her that her request is insane.
Just one final comment: sometimes nonprofit boards back themselves into a corner when they neglect to establish a retirement savings arrangement for employees and are then faced with an impending retirement of a beloved leader—sometimes into near destitution. This should act as a warning to boards—in the case of retirements foresight is morality.

Rare Talo Edition Colt 1911 Diamond Grade – 1 of 350
December 26, 2019 | Category: Featured Gun
Talo Edition Colt 1911 Diamond Grade – 1 of 350
Here at D4 Guns, we are proud to showcase a rare model 1911 pistol that will be the centerpiece for any gun collector's inventory.
In conjunction with TALO distributors, Colt produced an extremely limited run of 1911's in 2006. This extremely rare pistol is an elegant limited edition custom stainless .45 featuring: a tapered diamond grade 24 karat gold classic pattern on a mirror-polished stainless-steel slide, adjustable trigger, 5-inch barrel, white dot rear-sights and ornate custom rosewood diamond grade grips featuring an oak leaf pattern. Only 350 of these pistols were manufactured.
Colt was TALO's first limited edition partner in the late 1990s. With the factory's cooperation, TALO editions have caught the attention of a wide range of Colt collectors. TALO commissions limited editions of firearms and released limited editions of Colt 1911's embellished with 24 karat gold engravings in the iconic pistol.
The Colt M1911 .45 caliber pistol originated in the late 1890s in search for a semi-automatic pistol to replace the variety of revolvers being used throughout the United States military. From there on, it's significance in history, pop culture and its timeless design has endured more than 100 years and continues to be highly coveted.
The iconic Colt 1911 became a standard issued sidearm in World War II for U.S. armed forces to combat the Nazis and Japanese Imperial Army and continued to be the faithful sidearm of the U.S. military after WWII and through the Vietnam War.
Not only did it become popular in the military, civilians, popular movies, celebrities and even notorious outlaws boosted its popularity even more as time went on. Whether it is heroes like Dick Tracy and The Shadow or unsavory characters like Al Capone, Scarface or the menacing goons in the film Pulp Fiction, its popularity has never waned.

I was entertaining a certain kind of ambivalence when I read about a survey commissioned by Ameriprise Financial. The report showed that moving into retirement is far from easy and comes with its own emotional adjustments. Leaving the office or the factory floor is, after all, not just a financial decision. It also requires a rethinking of how we spend our time and how we view ourselves.
The most satisfied retirees were those who had actually prepared for the passage.
So though I'm years away from the finish line, it's good I'm thinking of the home stretch, right?
I belong to a biological family of worker bees. Those who heed the quitting bell do so because of health reasons. Most just keep clocking in. Though officially retired, my only living parent, a CPA by training, goes to work every day.
He's 86, still a whiz with numbers. An uncle and an aunt fill in at their medical offices a couple of times a week. All come from a time and place where work was a thing you abandoned only when you were 6 feet under.
Several friends, however, have hung up their business suits and entered the golden years with perhaps less gold, but a whole lot more time. "If I don't finish a project Sunday afternoon, I can do it Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday. Or whenever," one recently boasted. I glanced at the tools spread around him with a pang of envy. But that moment passed soon enough.
Another friend, who returned to the world of work after five years of leisure, is delighted to be dashing out of the house in the morning again. The new job makes her feel more productive and interesting. She jokes that she even gets along better with her husband.
We are a people whose identity is fashioned by the work we do and the profession we inhabit. We are teachers, plumbers, doctors, journalists. When our gigs end, we have to redefine ourselves, seek renewed purpose and meaning. The switch isn't without complications.
Then again, as far as I'm concerned, a writer never retires. She only changes the frequency of her deadlines. Words always beckon.

Joe Biden Considering Cindy McCain for UK Ambassador Because of Course He Is
By Bonchie | Nov 29, 2020 6:00 PM ET
AP Photo/Andrew Harnik
Joe Biden is rushing to reinstate all the worse excesses of D.C. in record time. As RedState had previously reported, he's seeking to place a bunch of failed, foreign policy establishment apparatchiks in positions like NSA and Secretary of State. The local social scene is already brimming with an excitement over a supposed return to normalcy where anyone can be bought and nothing but the excesses of power matter.
Meanwhile, Biden is considering Cindy McCain, wife of the late John McCain, as the Ambassador to the United Kingdom in order to reward her for helping him in Arizona, a state which helped deliver him a now probable victory (pending legal challenges).
Biden Considering Cindy McCain For Ambassadorship: Report https://t.co/niLmsP6WVZ pic.twitter.com/GlKzYnMVnX
— The Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) November 29, 2020
Democratic nominee Joe Biden is reportedly thinking of naming Cindy McCain the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, according to sources who spoke to The Times of London.
Cindy McCain, who is the widow of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), is an Anglophile, according to The Independent, and Biden reportedly seeks to reward her for helping deliver him Arizona as a blue state.
"It's hers if she wants it. She delivered Arizona. They know that," the source told the Times.
I'm curious if it such an appointment would then make it acceptable to question her political machinations or if those will still be off limits? While it's understandable that McCain would be no fan of Donald Trump given the feuding that occurred between him and her husband, she took it to the next level over the last four years, allegedly becoming a deeply political figure who chose to back Biden based on a completely false report in The Atlantic.
McCain reportedly decided to back Biden after The Atlantic published a story in which anonymous sources alleged that Trump referred to World War I veterans at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France as "losers" and "suckers."
"For me, the final straw was the, you know, 'They're losers and suckers,'" Cindy McCain told CBS during an interview on "60 Minutes."
To this day, not a single on the record source has confirmed that story while well over a dozen on the record sources, including anti-Trump figure John Bolton, have denied it. Yet, McCain claims that as her seminal moment in which she decided to back Joe Biden. Of course, that's if you are naive enough to believe that. She's long hated Trump and has sought to unseat him. That's her right to do so, but the misleading about why is a bit much, and to be clear, John McCain was not a victim in the battle he had with Trump. He pushed the Steele Dossier and relentlessly attacked the President while he was still alive.
Regardless, I'm old enough to remember when the left freaked out about Richard Grennell being Ambassador to Germany because he supposedly lacked the experience. That despite the fact that Grennell was actually rife in such, including stints in the Bush White House. Yet, here's Biden looking to put McCain, who actually has no experience, in one of the most important ambassadorial positions simply because she helped him politically. Let's all give a round of applause for the return of the swamp, and it's back with a vengeance.
But we all knew this was coming. There's always a payoff in Washingon. This is just more evidence of how corrupt that town really is.

Dice in the pair used for Complex 214 and The Dee Sanction have symbols on them, intended to help focus the story. The symbols include: equipment, surveillance/vigilance, access, the system, them, and mutation/magic.
In practice, when you roll the dice initially, the symbol rolled can help understand – plotwise – what helped the challenge succeed or fail. Even if the player rolls a fail and then adjusts it with counters, the symbol applies.
For example, in a scuffle against three thugs in a cluttered room, a fail rolled with the 'Equipment' symbol might suggest the character misses when he stumbles over a chair. On the other hand, a success might indicate the enemy fell over the chair or the character managed to use the guard on their sword to catch and skew the enemies aim before delivering a slash. A success with teamwork could mean that another character shoves a table backward into the path of the enemy causing them to dodge into the oncoming path of your weapon.
In my first game of The Dee Sanction, one player rolled a failure with the 'Equipment' symbol and skidded in a pool of blood catching himself on the furniture. In the game this weekend, a character failed a roll to glean information from bar clientèle with a 'Them' result, which meant they didn't get any useful information, but their enquiries led to someone, looking mildly suspect, slipping out of the bar, probably off to inform an interested party.
It worked well enough that, after a short while, the players started referring naturally to the symbols themselves. I have them referenced on the character sheet – with a brief word of explanation – but, I think, a little more obvious urging and guidance should have them flavouring the narrative themself. The die isn't the be-all-and-end-all; the symbols provide a nudge as a tool for story advancement, not a rod for the players' backs.
As mentioned yesterday, with the introduction of the new Incriminating Evidence mechanic, the teamwork dynamic and counter economy clicked in well. The session felt like it worked well and the feedback at the end seemed to carry that feeling. That the players engaged with the system and each other – despite being relative strangers at a convention – made for a very positive experience. Obviously, I remain keenly aware that I have a long way to go – but, this made me feel more confident I'm going the right way (in some measure) with both adventure and system.


Android is a Linux Kernel based operating system, designed by open handset alliance lead by Google and used for touch screen mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets and other devices. It responds to the real world events such swiping, pinching, tapping etc.

Some recent thoughts and discussions have made it clear to me that something is missing from the new BC Social Studies curriculum. Up until now I was not sure if it was something personal and connected missing from the curricular competencies, a mechanism by which Aboriginal perspectives could enter more fully into the classroom conversation, or an practical extension of the core competencies into the learning standards. Turns out it is at the centre of all three. For those uninitiated into the vast realm of education jargon, I will explain these ideas bit using Social Studies as a context.
Curricular competencies are the skills and strategies that students develop in order to approach problems of history, place (geography), and other topics that come up in Social Studies. They include research skills and inquiry abilities. The competencies include variations of six historical thinking concepts that are well explained at The Historical Thinking Project and also at The Critical Thinking Consortium. These "Big 6" are sometimes described as establishing significance, working with evidence, continuity and change, cause and consequence, taking perspectives, and ethical dimensions. I believe there are two important things missing from these competencies -- language that extends historical thinking into the area of geographic thinking, and the skill/space/support for students to make authentic and meaningful connections to their learning, the Social Studies content, and the other skills they are developing. Regardless of the fine-tuning, the competencies represent an academic approach to the study of Social Studies, capable of being post-colonial and culturally sensitive, but nonetheless a modern (if not fully modernist*) incarnation of the positivist tradition in education. The curricular competencies, starting with inquiry and working with a variety of critical thinking concepts, get students to the edge of answering "so what" questions in Social Studies. *Update: an expert on both the new curriculum and Big 6-derived competencies has pointed out that the Historical Thinking Concepts have been profoundly affected by a turn towards post-modernism (presumably among the academics who developed them for use in education). This in itself is a interesting discussion but I'll leave it at that for now.
The new curriculum emphasizes the opportunity to include more Aboriginal perspectives and knowledge, in some ways a challenge to the positivist tradition and in other ways a means to embed alternate views and powerful stories alongside the empirical approach and a Eurocentric narrative. In parts of the curriculum these opportunities are made clear, and in others it is not. What is missing is some mechanism whereby this emphasis can be layered and interactive with the competencies -- and does more just establish a quota for Aboriginal content. There are many ways in which indigenous perspectives can become more responsive with the Social Studies class. I feel as if I am only starting down this path and have much to learn (see Q6/A6 on this post about Social Studies 9). A good starting point for teachers in the same position is the First Peoples Principles of Learning. If you want a interesting thought experiment, read these principles and then read the curricular competencies for a new BC Social Studies course. What's the connection? For me, it is as if the FPPoL represents the reasons why developing the competencies is important work and to end they should lead. Each Social Studies course could be subtitled with Principle 2, 3, 6, 7, or 8, e.g. "Learning is embedded in memory, history, and story."
In providing a framework for the new curriculum and "personalized" learning, the Ministry of Education and teacher teams developed the Core Competencies. "[A]long with literacy and numeracy foundations and essential content and concepts," these aver-arching standards "are at the centre of the redesign of curriculum and assessment. Core competencies are sets of intellectual, personal, and social and emotional proficiencies that all students need to develop in order to engage in deep learning and life-long learning" (https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/competencies). One of the three core competencies is Communication. There is obvious importance in all course and grades to the various ways in which students interpret prompts, engage in activities, express their understanding, show their learning, and collaborate with others. Where "Communication" could be more practical is at the level of curricular competencies, the discipline-specific skills and strategies that guide exploration of content in each course. What is an actual ability that can be employed alongside interpretation of bias, perspective-taking, and establishing chains of causality in Social Studies?
I believe that all three of these "problems" -- incomplete curricular competencies, inclusion of Aboriginal perspectives, and the need to explicitly apply core competencies -- centers around storytelling. This is skill, a competency, an arena for discovery, and a way of beginning difficult conversations, that has always been indispensable in the Social Studies classroom. I'd like to see storytelling included more prominently in the new curriculum. Read a few of the student stories on this blog post to see my own bias on the importance of storytelling. Maybe one day there will be a Storytelling 12 that leverages interdisciplinary learning from K-12 and allows students to tell their stories. I think it would be a fitting way to finish high school and honour their diverse paths towards success. For now, Storytelling will be an unofficial curricular competency and will be the main strategy with which teaching and learning in my Social Studies class get the heart of the three problems I have described above. For the visual learners out there, I have summarized and represented these thoughts in a graphic below.


1) Assemble an emergency kit if you will be staying anywhere but a hotel. If you are renting a cabin or staying with friends and family, prepare a kit that includes batteries, flashlights, blankets, a first aid kit, any medication you may need, food, water, cash, and copies of your documents. If you need to evacuate due to weather conditions, this will be very valuable. You may also want to keep a similar emergency kit in your car to ensure that you can survive if you get stuck due to snowy weather conditions.
2) Invest in good footwear. Look for boots that have good treads or visit a sports wear store to buy special boot overlays that have spikes for added traction. Snow and ice pose a serious risk of slip and fall injuries as well as head injuries, especially if you are not used to walking in these conditions. Invest in the best anti-slip footwear you can find.
3) Prepare to dress for the weather. Before you travel, check weather reports so that you know what to pack. Bring a hat, gloves, scarf, and warm footwear and jacket. As well, bring layers that you can wear together. Several layers that cover your entire body can help you avoid hypothermia or frostbite if you do find yourself stuck in inclement weather when you travel.
4) Bring sunglasses. The glare from snow and ice can be painful and can make it hard to see. You can often prevent slip and fall accidents and even car accidents by wearing sunglasses that allow you to see more clearly. If you will be outdoors skiing or taking part in other winter activities, be sure to wear sunscreen as well. Again, the glare from the snow and ice can be intense.
5) Learn winter survival skills. If your car broke down on a snowy road, would you know how to survive? Do you know how to drive on icy roads safely? Winter survival tips and classes are available online and through many police stations in more northerly states. Read up about the skills you need.

Can China's creative economy have global impact?
Talented Chinese fashion designers are now competing on the global market with highly creative brands from all over the world. Their success is helping to build a creative class of graphic designers, stylists, retail architects, photographers, art directors, digital creatives and more, creating a ripple effect in adjacent industries. Can China's blossoming creative economy have global impact?
China's fashion designers are making serious inroads abroad but why aren't more of its photographers, stylists and other fashion creatives making a bigger global impact?
China's creative class will have greater global impact when its fashion ecosystem improves and when leaders invest more in mentoring and educational opportunities, argues Andrew Keith.

Salvador Dalí is NOT the Father!
by Glasstire September 21, 2017

Earlier this year, Glasstire reported that a Madrid judge ordered the exhumation of Salvador Dalí's remains to settle a paternity suit filed against the artist. The Dalí Foundation wasn't pleased and tried to appeal the case, but ultimately, Dalí was exhumed and we found out that the artist's mustache was still perfectly intact thirty years after his death.
Well, the paternity results were recently announced and it turns out that Pilar Abel Martínez, the woman claiming to be Dalí's daughter, is not related to the artist. Although Martínez maintains the story that her mother had an affair with Dalí in 1955, The Dalí Foundation stands firmly behind the results, saying "The Foundation is pleased that this report puts an end to an absurd and artificial controversy, and that the figure of Salvador Dalí remains definitively excluded from totally groundless claims."

I hope by now you've realized that you need to consistently invest as much as possible based on your circumstances.
Compound interest, which is commonly used in finance and economics, occurs when you pay or receive an interest on the sum of principal and interest amounts, not just the initial principal. Simple interest is when the interest is not added to the principal when it gets calculated.
The ultimate result of compounding depends on the compounding frequency (e.g. monthly, quarterly, annually). For any given interest rate and compounding frequency, an equivalent rate for any different compounding frequency exists.
For example, the yearly rate for a loan with 1 percent compound interest per month is approximately 12.68 percent per annum as opposed to 12 percent if it were simple interest. This equivalent yearly rate is often referred to as annual percentage rate (APR).
Compound interest is your friend when you receive it and your enemy when you have to pay it because it grows exponentially. If you currently have or ever had a student loan, a credit card debt or a mortgage on a house, you've paid compound interest.
As it may pertain to your particular investment accounts, always re-invest your accrued interest into additional shares so that compound interest will help grow your investment portfolio. If you use brokerage services like Ameritrade, E-trade or Fidelity Investments, they have an automatic reinvestment option that you can set up online for your brokerage account.

Paintballing shoot their way to a nomination
By Kevin Griffin December 11, 2013 No Comments2 Mins Read
The Bangor University's Paintballing Society were nominated for an award at the UK Paintball Awards.
They have been nominated for the award 'Breakthrough team of the year' after having a successful year last year with some fantastic results. Two of its members were nominated for individual awards as well, making it one of the most successful years in the club's history.
This year's awards took place at 6.00 pm on 30 November at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Nottingham.
Last year, the Paintballing Society had an incredibly successful year. As well as defeating Bangor's rivals, Aberystwyth, at Varsity, they also took part in a tournament called the Ultimate Woodsball League, which includes nationwide teams and not just universities.
At one stage of the competition, Bangor's Paintballing Society had the highest score on that particular field of play on that day. They ranked 13th overall by the end of the competition, being the highest placed university in the league and, to top it all, beat Aberystwyth's team who were placed 17th.
The club, also known as the BUPS Lions at prestigious tournaments and events, is a society that has been set up by people with a lot of passion for the sport. Anyone is free to join no matter what sort of experience they have playing paintball, whether they're new to the sport or a seasoned veteran.
They are a self-proclaimed gateway to the paintball way. With a friendly atmosphere, anyone who enjoys the art of outdoor combat should revel in this opportunity. They make sure that new players have the right direction to suit their playing needs.
They play together every month at home, hosting an away team and go to large paintballing events across the whole of the UK.
Some of these events have over 400 people in attendance. They are a social team, and after every game a cold beer or soft drink is a must at the end of the day, and being with friends is pretty much all they are about.
After the awards, they are still as ambitious as ever. They plan to maintain a society that has members in the club who enjoy the sport for what it is. While tournaments and winning matches are important to them, the Bangor University Paintballing society are all about having fun with what they do and have a laugh together. Well worth the effort!

Q: Scala Inheritance of Type Constructor Right now, I am trying to implement a variant of a Linked List with the following code, but I am having trouble with it. Basically, I am trying to create different type of nodes that will connect with each other by the next method. Thus, I have two classes, NodeA[T] and NodeB[T], that inherited from the abstract class, NodeTrait[T]. I just want next to be any type that is a subtype of NodeTrait[T] and is contained in Option. Thus, I want next to be either the type Option[NodeA[T]] or Option[NodeB[T]].
However, I get a compiler error saying expression of type Option[NodeTrait[T]] doesn't confirm to expected type NodeTrait[T]. I am not exactly sure how to solve this problem. I was thinking about using covariance and change NodeTrait[T] to NodeTrait[+T] but I still get more compiling errors. Does anybody have any tips to solve this issue?
abstract class NodeTrait[T](x:T) {
  var next:Option[NodeTrait[T]]
  def insert(y: T):Option[NodeTrait[T]]
}

class NodeA[T](x:T) extends  NodeTrait[T](x){
  def insert(y: T): NodeTrait[T] = {
    val newnode = new NodeA[T](y)
    next = Some(new NodeA[T](y))
    next
  }
  next = None

}

class NodeB[T](x:T) extends  NodeTrait[T](x){
  def insert(y: T): NodeTrait[T] = {
    val newnode = new NodeB[T](y)
    next = Some(new NodeB[T](y))
    next
  }
  next = None

}

A: I don't know what your code do, lets assume it's just simplified abstract version of something, but here edited code that compiles:
abstract class NodeTrait[T](x:T) {
  var next:Option[NodeTrait[T]]
  def insert(y: T):Option[NodeTrait[T]]
}

class NodeA[T](x:T) extends  NodeTrait[T](x){
  def insert(y: T): Option[NodeTrait[T]] = {
    val newnode = new NodeA[T](y)
    next = Some(new NodeA[T](y))
    next
  }
  var next: Option[NodeTrait[T]] = None

}

class NodeB[T](x:T) extends  NodeTrait[T](x){
  def insert(y: T): Option[NodeTrait[T]] = {
    val newnode = new NodeB[T](y)
    next = Some(new NodeB[T](y))
    next
  }

 var next: Option[NodeTrait[T]] = None
}

You specified different (from NodeTrait) return types in you NodeB and NodeA insert method.
