Hi Coaches!
It’s been busy over here preparing for Golden Gate Science Olympiad. Our team of nearly 150 organizers, event supervisors, and volunteers are BEYOND excited to welcome you all to Berkeley’s campus.
This email has critical updates including a lot of day-of logistics, so please read carefully.
For last minute questions or concerns (Friday evening or during the day Saturday), your first point of contact is Kevin. He can be reached at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Food Regulation Reminder: NO FOOD IS ALLOWED IN HOMEROOMS.  Similar student groups have faced fines on the order of $5000 for violating this rule. We’re hoping for great weather on Saturday, so we recommend a nice lunch outside or encourage students to visit any of the many cafes highlighted in the maps on our website.
Please consider the homerooms as a place to study and store equipment, but not a place to eat. Custodians will be passing by rooms as well as checking trash cans. No food should be brought back to or disposed of in homerooms.
Unfortunately, we feel obligated to enforce this rule harshly, since a university violation would prevent future GGSO tournaments from being possible (and violating schools may share financial burden of any fines). Teams with food in their homerooms and trash cans face possible point deductions on their score and blacklisting from future GGSO events. We deeply apologize for this inconvenience but hope that it’s not too troublesome.
Morning Check-in: Please check in to receive your coaches packet (including last-minute information, maps, and student wristbands). Check-in will be run in the outside of Wheeler Hall at Wheeler plaza and will begin at 8:00AM.
Campus Map: We’re digital this year! Check out our all-inclusive map here or on our website. Please share with your teams as well. Tap on locations to read more info or see what events are held there. For navigating between home rooms, events, and food locations, we recommend using Google Maps walking directions. Many said this was helpful at the tournament last year.
There are also printable maps of events and homerooms, food, and parking.
Free wifi is available on campus (connect to CalVisitor).
Homerooms: See the events and homerooms map to check which homeroom your team has been assigned to. These open by 8:15am.
Car Parking: Please check for parking at any of the locations in the parking map. Note that some may require a daily fee.
Awards Keynote: We’re thrilled to announce this year’s keynote speaker at Awards: Mark Rober. He’s an ex-NASA engineer turned science YouTube star with nearly 3 million followers and over 90 million views on his most popular video. His content ranges from the comical to the incredible, and he’s promised a fun talk.
T-shirts [share with students]: Last year there was huge demand for GGSO t-shirts that are otherwise reserved for volunteers. This year, we ordered some extra for competitors! The awesome new design was made in-house, and a limited number of shirts will be available for $15 in Wheeler Lobby during the tournament (cash or check only).
Awards ceremony: We recognize this is a non-ideal set-up, but we’re excited to have a solution. As mentioned in our previous update, turbulent events in Berkeley’s reservations system has relegated us to our backup awards plan. We’ve hired a professional AV team to live stream the awards ceremony to several rooms on campus.
The awards ceremony will be hosted in three adjacent auditoria (connected by a single hallway in the same building). The central auditorium will hold 450 students (determined by team number). The two flanking auditoria will each hold 150 students. The central stage will be live streamed to the two flanking rooms. To maintain the suspense and excitement of a traditional awards ceremony, when each event is announced the top five teams will be shown in no particular order. Once they have all made it to the central stage (a less than 30 second walk), the ranking will be announced and medals awarded.
Due to the extremely tight seating, each team will be given EXACTLY 15 seats. The main 3 auditoria are VLSB 2040, 2050, 2060. Those seats will be given to entrants wearing or holding a wristband. This is a tight cap.
All extra seating will be available in Dwinelle 155. Seating here is first come first serve, and the ceremony will be live-streamed.
All doors open at 5:45.
Remind 101 service [share with students]: We use this text message remind service to send out critical day-of updates aimed primarily at coaches, but we encourage any students and parents to sign up to stay updated as well. Phone numbers are kept completely confidential by the website service, we promise not to send any updates after the tournament, and you can opt out at any time.
Instructions: text @7794k3 to the number 81010
Latimer Labs and Soda labs: Note that the schedule online now includes the location of labs for Chem Lab, Thermodynamics, Materials Science, Game On, and Forensics. Soda Labs will be locked during the day, but volunteers will be positioned at the door to let students in.
Day schedule: A general day schedule for the tournament has been posted online here.
Phone number: If any issues arise during check-in or during the tournament, please contact Kevin at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Social Media [Share with Students]: We’re online! We’ll be posting fun tournament photos, updates, and live stories throughout the day to our Snapchat (ggscioly) and Instagram (goldengatescioly) accounts. Check us out!

Greenhouse Gas Levels in Atmosphere Hit New High in 2018
by AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSEGENEVA, Switzerland (AFP) – Greenhouse gases levels in the atmosphere, the main driver of climate change, hit a record high last year, the UN said Monday, calling for action to safeguard “the future welfare of mankind.”
“There is no sign of a slowdown, let alone a decline, in greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere despite all the commitments under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change,” the head of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Petteri Taalas said in a statement.
The WMO’s main annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin listed the atmospheric concentration of CO2 in 2018 at 407.8 parts per million, up from 405.5 parts per million (ppm) in 2017.
That increase was just above the annual average increase over the past decade.
CO2 is responsible for roughly two-thirds of Earth’s warming.
The second most prevalent greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is methane — emitted in part from cattle and fermentation from rice paddies — which is responsible for 17 percent of warming, according to WMO.
Nitrous oxide, the third major greenhouse which is gas caused largely by agricultural fertilizers, has caused about six percent of warming on Earth, the UN agency said.
Atmospheric concentration levels of both methane and nitrous oxide both hit record highs last year, the UN said.
“This continuing long-term trend means that future generations will be confronted with increasingly severe impacts of climate change, including rising temperatures, more extreme weather, water stress, sea level rise and disruption to marine and land ecosystems,” WMO said.
– ‘More hopeful’? –
Emissions are the main factor that determine the amount of greenhouse gas levels but concentration rates are a measure of what remains after a series of complex interactions between atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, cryosphere and the oceans.
Roughly 25 percent of all emissions are currently absorbed by the oceans and biosphere — a term that accounts for all ecosystems on Earth.
The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth while the cyrosphere covers that part of the world covered by frozen water.
The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has said that in order to keep warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, net CO2 emissions must be at net zero, meaning the amount being pumped into the atmosphere must equal the amount being removed, either though natural absorption or technological innovation.
While Taalas made clear that the world was not on track to meet UN targets, he did highlight some reasons for cautious optimism.
“The visibility of these issues is the highest (it has) ever been,” he told reporters in Geneva, noting that the private sector was increasingly investing in green technology.
Even in the United States, where President Donald Trump’s administration this month began the process of formally withdrawing from the Paris agreement, “plenty of positive things are happening,” Taalas said.
While Washington may have renounced its Paris agreement commitments, “we have plenty of states and cities who are proceeding in the right direction,” he added.
“Personally, I am more hopeful than I used to be 10 years ago but of course we have to speed up the process,” Taalas said.

Possessing good Emotional intelligence is a good indicator for success and hapiness in your professional and personal life. In the work environment it helps with good work performance, good leadership skills and the ability to create conditions for hapiness hence good team spirit. The first step to improving our Emotional intelligence is to train our attention. We do this by mindful meditation. With practice this gives the added benefit of remaining calm (even under stress) and clarity of thought which hopefully allows us to take better actions. The end result is improved happiness!
It was surprisingly difficult for me to keep my mind focussed! Two minutes felt a lot longer! Definitely will be practising more. I think the benefits would be great from regular practise.


[gecode-users] size of the search tree
Jean-Noël Monette
jmonette at info.ucl.ac.be
Thu Mar 29 17:25:24 CEST 2007
Hello,
Using Gecode, I would like to know what is the size of the search tree
but this information is not given. If recomputation is disabled, I think
that it can be computed as the sum of the number of clone, the number of
fails and the number of solution found. However, when recomputation is
activated, there is not a clone for each node of the search tree and I
don't see how to recover the size of the tree.
Have you any solution?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Jean-Noël Monette

I was working with my computer, bored! Surfing the internet, I found my self
hitting the enter key so hard to search for things! Than I said myself, "It would
be fun to have a search engine that the harder you press the enter, the more accurate
the result that you get for your search." Than I started searching a little and came up
with this site. It's still not complete and not working write, but here's the basic.
Listening to your computer mic, and when you press enter, based on the first element of
fourier transform, changes opacity of a box. It still has some problems such that you have to
press enter several times at row to work, etc. Still working on it and planning to add sth cool
like AI or sth else to the project. I would be happy to hear from you if you have some cool
ideas to add to the website. You can find the source at github

To those who are asking if Ruby and Rails are the same, they are not but the two are related. Ruby is the programming language and then Rails is the software that uses the Ruby language. Rails is created by David Heinemeier Hansson. He gave it the name “Ruby on Rails” but people thought it was too long so people just refer to it as “Rails.”
Rails is a web application development framework and is designed to making web apps easier to create. It is a package library that is installed and it is also a framework for building websites. Rails allows you to combine HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in order to create more complex websites. The rails software makes assumptions for the programmer so that the programmer will write less code. Experienced programmers even said that using Rails makes their jobs more fun.
There are 2 major guiding principles in using rails. First is “Don’t Repeat Yourself” or in short “DRY”. You may have already heard or read about this when you were studying a programming language. “DRY” is described as “Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system." Being “DRY” means that the code must not be repetitive and is maintainable. Second is “Convention over Configuration.” Rails gives you opinions on the best way to do a lot of code and it defaults to these conventions. With this, you will be able to save a lot of time in specifying what you wanted the program to do.
You must also be wondering if you need to study Ruby before studying or using Rails. Technically no, however it is advised that you should study Ruby first so that it will be easier for you to understand Rails. If you decided to dive into Rails right away, that is not a problem as well since you will be learning Ruby as you progress in your learning with Rails. However, knowing the syntax of Ruby will enable you to understand Rails easier and make your learning quicker.
So now it is clearer why it is called “Ruby on Rails” and Rails is not a programming language but a software. If you want to read more on Rails, I advise that you refer to this link: http://railsapps.github.io/what-is-ruby-rails.html

Our 8-month program is divided into 12 modules. The last module is a 6-weeks intensive Final Project where students work on a real project with a real partner. Our training takes place at BeCentral (Brussels) every Sunday. During the week, students are supported online in their self-study, homework and peer learning.
We graduated over 100 people in Belgium and more than 300 globally. In Belgium, over 70% found and retained a high-quality job as a developer.
HackYourFuture was initially founded in 2015 in Amsterdam Because our curriculum is 100% open,the school was replicated in many countries, including Belgium in 2018 All International Chapters share the aim to enable refugees and disadvantaged people to build digital skills for a career in web development, facilitate the integration of newcomers, and address the shortage of qualify HackYourFuture Belgium is an initiative of Open Knowledge Belgium. We believe in an IT world where everyone has access to open knowledge and open education, in order to participate actively in society. We believe diversity is essential on IT company floors, which can be increased by hiring our graduates as junior web developers.
