Global Spotlight on Sciences for International Education Week
During International Education Week, the College of Sciences celebrates the impact of international perspectives, connection, and contributions in our community. We've gathered stories over the years celebrating the work of math, science, and technology within our international community. From international students enrolled at Georgia Tech, to professors with unique cultural perspectives, to partnerships with our global community, this month we shine a special spotlight on the importance of international education and research.
What is International Education Week?
International Education Week, celebrated at Tech November 15 to 19 this year, is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of the efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.
The worldwide celebration of IEW offers a unique opportunity to reach out to people in every nation, to develop a broader understanding of world cultures and languages, and to reiterate the conviction that enduring friendships and partnerships created through international education and exchange are important for a secure future for all countries.

Current guidelines from the NPIS state that all acute hospitals should provide assays on 24/7 for: COHb, Digoxin, Ethanol, Iron, Lithium, Met Hb, Paracetamol, Salicylate and Theophylline. The Toxicology Department in Beumpont will not provide these assays from April 2009.
Screening for Drugs of Abuse will not be available out of hours. There are few occasions when when a drugs of abuse screen results will aid in the acute management of the poisoned patient. If the in-patient / admitting team wish for these analyses for ongoing patient management, urine samples should be sent, via the local laboratotry susytem, the following day.

"With the Roland 700 Ultima we can offer our customers high performance enhancement at very competitive prices." That's how general manager Hans-Christian Bestehorn sums up the benefits of Hannover based Leunisman's investment in a sheet-fed press with 15 printing, coating and drying units.
A custom built configuration was ordered for the production of high quality folding boxes for cosmetics and confectionery packaging. Leunisman, part of the Rob Leunis & Chapman Group, processes mainly virgin fibre cartonboard between 200 and 550g/m2, which is especially suitable for high quality products due to its superior dimensional stability. PET with a thickness of 0.225mm is also processed in the same manner as cartons.
The Roland 700 Ultima starts with a coating module with chambered doctor blade technology followed by two drying units. Then come eight printing units for 8/0 or 2/6 production. Next is a double coating module followed by a double dryer, then end-of-press drying in the Airglide delivery. One of the final two coating modules can be used additionally for in-line embossing. There is also a Roland InlineSorter for waste-free delivery piles. The multiple function process is rounded off by a non stop delivery linked to the AUPASYS materials logistics system.
The coating module upstream of the printing units can apply metallic pigment or pearlescent inks prior to offset printing. As Hans-Christian Bestehorn explains: "This can replace hotfoil stamping for certain products." In the past, such coatings could only be applied after offset printing or off-line.
Opaque white is often applied in the first coating module upstream of the offset printing units, especially with non absorbent substrates. The 700 Ultima has two dryer modules after the first coating unit for either IR/hot air or UV drying. This is to ensure the preprinted coatings and inks are completely dry before more are applied.
UV inks provide many advantages here. They harden immediately, which permits a wide variety of graphic design ideas to be realised. Areas printed with opaque white dry immediately and vignettes can be merged much more sharply. Printing department head Hasan Esen confirms: "The dot is much sharper than when I print eight colours conventionally".
All Leunisman's presses are now equipped for UV production. A six colour Roland 700 with coating module is used exclusively as a UV press. Another 700 with coating module and combination dryers is equipped for both UV and conventional printing, and can be changed over as required. Eventually this press will run UV exclusively, as the intention is for all jobs with conventional inks to be run solely on the Ultima.
At present the proportion of folding cartons produced with UV inks in the plant is 60-65 per cent. UV jobs run on the new Roland press are about 35-40 per cent. This is because it prints a large amount of blister packaging, which requires conventional inks and dispersion coatings. However, the combination of UV coating and UV ink is also to be used for the reverse side of these products.
Many technically complex applications can be combined and produced in-line on the press. And change-over to different types of coating is said to be simple, with minimal material waste.
Applications include razor packaging, for which an inexpensive GD-2 carton is given a high quality finish The RLC Group produces this packaging in very long runs for the entire European market, combining many metallic effects and using UV inks. Another example of the combination of numerous effects is folding boxes for cosmetics. These, along with packaging for top-of-the-range hair colorants, often have printed and coated interiors. The 700 Ultima can print pearlescent coating plus a spot colour and text on the reverse side of the sheet (interior of the finished package), which is then turned and printed in six colours on the front. The colours in this example are printed on metallized materials, then coatings are applied in-line for matt/gloss effects.
The embossing unit integrated in the last two coating modules is said to offer significantly better registration than off-line embossing combined with die cutting. There are no positioning constraints with combined embossing/printing in-line, which is ideal for the two-dimensional structure embossing often used for chocolate packaging.

Certainly social networking sites like Facebook offer an opportunity for human connection that's otherwise lacking in our dreary existences. Without Facebook, how would we know whose birthdays are coming up? Or what our friends had for lunch or which inspirational cliches need repeating? And how could we keep up with the dietary trends of cats?
Yet there is a downside to Facebook. They'll let anybody in.
Really, it's not selective in the least. It was originally intended for college students, but it has become the online equivalent of Grand Central Station, open to any slob with Internet access. Advertisers, opportunists, homeless people and evangelists for every fly-by-night cult are lurking there, waiting to exploit your personal information.
We here at The Tech Curmudgeon think that if you're going to reveal deeply personal information ... information like what you had for lunch or how cute your cats are ... you should be in a safe environment, surrounded by others like yourself. That's why we've created visagecodex, the social network exclusively for pretentious snobs.
Just think! No more Likes from random strangers half a world away. No more comments that try to top your dumb joke with an even dumber one. Just good, reliable arrogant egotists you can depend on.

Who knew they could sound just like bouncing squeaker balls! This group of river otters seem like they're straight out of a cartoon.
The best part is how it keeps grabbing more stones to make sure the juggling stays a challenge!
Fun at the aquarium for the animals and the kids. We're sure this game of chase could have gone on for hours.
Baby otter enjoys getting tickled!
This sea otter has a fun way of keeping healthy and young. Combine a ball, a basketball hoop, and some fish treats and you have one athletic otter!
They may not be the most musically talented bunch, but they go at it with enthusiasm.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are able to breathe a sigh of relief of sorts on Thanksgiving Day.
Rookie guard Hamidou Diallo was carted off the court on a stretcher with 7:17 left in last night's 123-95 road win against the Golden State Warriors. Per the Thunder, he avoided serious injury after X-rays and Warriors doctors evaluated him.
According to ESPN's Royce Young, Diallo sustained a left ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days.
Update on Hamidou Diallo: After further evaluation today, he officially has a left ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days.
Diallo's left leg was stabilized as he was wheeled away to applause from the Oracle Arena crowd. Diallo was credited for rebounding Jonas Jerebko's missed layup when they both went down hard. Clearly in pain, Diallo moved himself off the court and was under basket for several minutes.
Young reported that Diallo exited the locker room with a boot on his left foot and was using crutches. Diallo was reportedly in good spirits, though, as he left the arena -- somewhat surprising news considering how scary the play looked.
Young reports the initial fear regarding Diallo was that he possibly suffered a broken left leg. Thunder forward Paul George called Diallo's injury an ankle sprain, although the team has yet to officially say what Diallo's injury is.
"I was hoping, praying it was nothing too serious, that it wasn't his knee," George told ESPN after the game. "I think we can all say it's the best news that it was his ankle and it was a sprain."
"Just having each other's back. When guys go down, we're a family here and we have to have our brother's back, and that's what we're going to do," said guard Russell Westbrook.
Aside from Diallo's injury, some other Thunder players got dinged up in the win against Golden State. Terrance Ferguson returned from a two-game absence as he welcomed a baby, then went down at the 5:41 mark of the first quarter with a sprained left ankle and didn't return. Nerlens Noel received stitches after getting hit in the face during the second quarter.
''There's just been a lot of things on this road trip that have impacted any level of consistency, our rotation, of having any idea of who's going to be playing,'' Thunder coach Billy Donovan said after the game.

Over the next 3 weeks I am going to try a diet that was originally discovered by the Monash University in Australia in an attempt to help people reduce their symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I do not have IBS but have a lot of clients who do. I do however at times have some digestive symptoms IBS presents so while I am doing this in the interest of my clients I may benefit as well. This is run by Nutri Advanced and I am taking part with other practitioners so we will be able to share out stories.
I mentioned to my GP I was doing it and he was keen to hear how I get on as he also advises people to try FODMAPs but didn't know a lot about it. Below is a brief explanation of FODMAPs. I am going to diarise my FODMAP journey and share it, so that if people are interested they can gain from my experience as well.
Carbohydrates have long-chain or short-chain structures. Short chain carbohydrates (FODMAPs) rapidly move through the small intestine where they are not readily absorbed, they reach the large intestine and ferment giving of gases such as hydrogen and carbon dioxide that may cause symptoms: wind, bloating, diarrhoea, heartburn and/or constipation.
How does this translate into foods?
The idea is to eliminate these high FODMAP foods from the diet for 3 weeks and then re-introduce. At the same time I am going to be doing some other healing work on my gut.
Follow this blog if you are interested in the results. I will blog regularly, highlighting, the highs, lows, how easy/hard it is and how I feel through out. I will also blog recipes as well.
Open studies have suggested that 3 out of 4 people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) see signs of improvement when reducing FODMAPS foods (Pizzorno and Murray 2012) so it will be interesting to see the results.

'Joker 2' Confirmed by Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix
Matt Singer Published: June 7, 2022
To all the folks who thought they would never make a sequel to Joker: Joke's on you.
Although there's no definitive word from Warner Bros, Joker's director Todd Phillips all but confirmed the sequel is happening on his Instagram account. Phillips posted a copy of the movie's script — which bears the title Joker: Folie à Deux — written by himself and Scott Silver. In the same post, Phillips also shared a photo of Joker star Joaquin Phoenix reading the script while smoking a cigarette.
The sequel's script is dated May 18, 2022. Co-write Scott Silver also collaborated with Phillips on the screenplay for the first Joker. The title translates to "Madness For Two." Phillips didn't include a caption with the Instagram post.
Word leaked that Phillips was working on a script for a potential Joker sequel just over a year ago, although the filmmaker had indicated his interest in a potential follow-up soon after Joker opened in theaters in 2019 and became an immediate smash success. While Phoenix would seem like a tough sell for any sequel — he almost never makes them — he also expressed his willingness to reprise his role as DC's Clown Prince of Crime last year, saying in an interview "there are some things we could do with this guy and could [explore] further."
The first movie, an alternate origin story for Batman's most famous villain, grossed an astounding $1 billion worldwide, and wound up winning Academy Awards for Phoenix and composer Hildur Guðnadóttir. The subtitle of this sequel is sure to fuel speculation that this movie will see Phoenix's Joker squaring off with Batman. But which Batman? Could it be Robert Pattinson's? Or will Joker continue with its own alternate DC timeline and introduce its own version of the Dark Knight to go with its extremely dark version of the Joker? Those questions will surely fuel a lot of interest in this movie moving forward. One thing's for sure: Phillips' Instagram post is definitely not a joke.

Forget about sexism: Now TV coverage of women's sports is just plain boring
Compared with coverage of men's sports, women are talked about on local channels and ESPN in a mandatory and dull way, a decades-long USC study finds
BY Ian Chaffee
Women's sports coverage has evolved since the time Kathrine Switzer was nearly pulled out of the all-male Boston Marathon in 1967. (Photo/Courtesy of Kathrine Switzer, Boston Herald)
When tennis great John McEnroe recently claimed that women's champion Serena Williams wouldn't even be a "top 700" men's player, his controversial comment made headlines on sports shows and beyond.
It was just one more example of how hard it continues to be for women's sports to receive any attention at all, unless it is somehow filtered through a very dismissive male gaze.
While mainstream broadcast coverage now treats the games women play a bit more seriously, much of that now mostly respectful coverage is still being relegated to the sideline, according to an ongoing, decades-long study by USC researchers that was published Sept. 12 in the journal Gender & Society.
The research team found that L.A.-based network affiliates devoted 3.2 percent of airtime to women's sports on news broadcasts, down from 5 percent from 1989, the first year of the study. ESPN's SportsCenter has been even worse, devoting 2 percent of airtime to women's sports, a proportion that has remained flat since the study began tracking the show in 1999.
"When compared to the start of the study, women used to be framed in ways that were overtly sexist. Now the sexism is subtler," said study lead author Michela Musto of the Department of Sociology at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. "It seems at first that it's respectful, but if you compare the framing with men's sports, women are talked about in a much more boring way. There is no joking or complimenting. Those kinds of descriptors are missing from women's sports."
The researchers have regularly updated their findings roughly every five years, in 1993, 1999, 2004, 2009 and 2014. They plan to start research again later this year for an update in 2018.
Still ignored, even as female participation surges
In replicating previous cycles of the study, the researchers analyzed three two-week segments (a total of six weeks) of televised sports news coverage on three Los Angeles network affiliates, and did the same on ESPN's SportsCenter. They then coded the coverage across 20 distinct categories, including gender, type of sport, competitive level of sport, segment length and production value.
Much of the overall disparity may also be due to the little airtime devoted to each individual woman's story on SportsCenter: Women's stories averaged 77 seconds, nearly 50 percent shorter than men's stories, though still better than the 44 seconds given to women's stories on local affiliates.
Even off-season coverage of men's sports received more airtime than in-season women's coverage.
Such overall respectful coverage may be progress from the time when Morganna the Kissing Bandit was one of the few women featured on the local sports report. However, even the improved tone of this coverage carried its own brand of chauvinism, or what the researchers termed "gender bland" — programming that is treated as a sort of mandatory and perfunctory "set aside."
The researchers said that in this "gender-bland" programming, women's athletic achievements are portrayed as "lackluster" and "uninspired." That is, unless they are depicted as caring teammates or partners and spouses, such as 2016 Olympic trap-shooter medalist Corey Cogdell-Unrein's portrayal in mainstream media as "the wife of a Chicago Bears linebacker."
The researchers noted that the sparse coverage of women's sports is out of step with another simultaneous trend: a surge of female athletes since the 1970s, when Title IX became law, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in education for athletics and other programs that receive federal funds.
About 45 years ago, only 294,000 girls played high school sports and fewer than 30,000 played in college. Today, 3.1 million girls participate in high school sports, compared to 4.4 million boys. According to data from the NCAA in 2014, the gender ratio for its 472,625 student-athletes was even closer, about 44 percent female to 56 percent male.
The allegory of the 'man cave'
There are few women in sports media roles that may influence coverage decisions, the researchers noted. They found that 95 percent of anchors, co-anchors and analysts in their analyzed coverage were male. The data are consistent with other findings that 90.1 percent of sports print editors are male.
When a woman in the sports broadcast industry moves upward, as sideline reporter Samantha Ponder did this August when she replaced Chris Berman as host of ESPN's featured NFL program, Sunday NFL Countdown, it still makes big news.
"I do believe that part of the move toward greater respect and equity for women's sports in the media will involve getting more women into newspaper sports desks, radio and TV commentary," said senior author Michael Messner, professor of sociology and gender studies at USC Dornsife. "However, I also think that employers, when they hire new people, should seek to hire reporters and commentators — women or men — who really care about women's sports, who can and will express genuine enthusiasm, rather than gender-bland sexism, when they report on women's sports."
Messner has helped lead the study since its inception in 1989. In response to the study's results in 2010, ESPN announced a new ESPNW brand channel to better cover women's sports. The network even proposed that it might one day become its own stand-alone cable television channel. Such a channel still has yet to exist.
"Though the father network is not gender-marked with an 'M,' it remains a kind of electronic man cave, by, for and about men's sports," Messner said.
The study was conducted by Messner and Musto with Cheryl Cooky of Purdue University. The research was funded primarily through a grant from the University of Michigan's Sport, Health & Activity Research & Policy Center, with supplemental support from USC's Center for Feminist Research, the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and the Purdue Office of the Provost.

Not only have the film producers abandoned the original title in adapting Ferenc Molnar's play "Fashions for Men" to the screen, but they have also seen fit to place the story in London instead of Budapest, which does not enhance the value of the comedy. Nevertheless, this subject in shadow form is an agreeable diversion, having the great advantage of a distinguished cast, but it often flies far from the realm of probability, and in more than one instance details actually necessary to the narrative have been overlooked.The leading light of this picture is a saintly person who, for most of the time, is unfortunate in his business and moral relations. He is a moral superman, but in endeavoring to save a young woman from an English Earl, his antics sometimes strike farcical notes. Percy Marmont officiates in the rôle of this Peter Hungerford, the proprietor of a London haberdashery, who, on the Christmas Eve on which the story opens, is going around his little store distributing presents to the few employes. Peter knows not the meaning of hate, and only once during the unfolding of this tale does he lose his temper. He then displays a fairly good knowledge of the Queensberry rules to the dismay and discomfort of his antagonist.During several chapters of this photodrama Peter devotes himself to preventing the Earl of Denham from being alone with Paula, a girl who had been a faithful employe of the Hungerford haberdashery until it went into the hands of a receiver. The Earl, impersonated by Lewis Stone, is a man of forty-odd, always most carefully dressed, who is greatly impressed by Paula's good looks. By his constant interruptions and clinging to the Earl when he isn't wanted. Peter succeeds in staving off the nobleman's hopes to pay attention to the gracious Paula.Raymond Griffith figures as the conscienceless Oscar, who ran away with Peter's wife. Mr. Griffith is not nearly so sure of himself as he was in "Forty Winks." "Paths to Paradise" and "A Regular Fellow," vehicles that are better suited to his style of acting. Alma Rubens is appealing and convincing as Paula, and Mr. Stone makes a likable character of the mundane Earl. Mr. Marmont, as Peter, gives a performance sometimes reminiscent of his excellent work as Mark Sabre in "If Winter Comes."
FINE CLOTHES, with Lewis Stone, Percy Marmont, Alma Rubens, Raymond Griffith, Eileen Percy, William V.

Cuba Domadores go 13-0 in Season V as they defeat British Lionhearts in London
In front of a large crowd at London's Copper Box Arena, Cuba Domadores defeated British Lionhearts 5-0 and achieved their 13th consecutive victory in Season V of the World Series of Boxing (WSB).
The Cuban team entered this fixture after the historic news was revealed that the International Boxing Association (AIBA) has become the exclusive partner for all Cuban boxers from the Cuban Boxing Federation whenever they compete in international boxing competitions, and their WSB team celebrated the occasion with five superb victories.
Despite losing the match, the British team impressed throughout the night, and many of their boxers put in spirited and tenacious performances.
This was the last fixture of the Regular Season for the weight classes competing in London, and many Cuban fighters improved their chances of earning a qualification quota for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games through WSB.
In the first fight of the evening, Britain's 0-1 Light flyweight (49 kg) Joseph Maphosa made his WSB debut against Cuba's 18-year-old sensation 5-2 Joahnys Oscar Argilagos Perez.
Despite making his first appearance in the competition against such a highly rated prospect, Maphosa was not overawed and began the bout in a composed fashion, beating the Cuban to the jab and looking sharp.
Argilagos improved as the fight progressed, and displayed his quick hands and dynamic reflexes to just edge the majority of the rounds.
Maphosa never gave up however, and constantly moved forward to try and cleanly hit the elusive Cuban.
After five rounds, Argilagos edged a split decision verdict, winning 50-45 and 48-47 on two scorecards, while Maphosa won 48-47 according to the third judge.
Two-time Commonwealth Games medalist Sean McGoldrick then entered the ring for a Bantamweight (56 kg) clash with Cuba's Andy Cruz Gomez.
McGoldrick won the first round on two scorecards after exhibiting some powerful shots, but as in the first bout, the Cuban fighter recovered well and began to exercise control in the later rounds.
Despite his young age, Cruz performs well in all facets of boxing, and combined a strong defence with an outstanding array of attacks.
Perhaps the biggest difference between the two fighters was stamina, as McGoldrick tired towards the end of the fight despite constantly throwing shots, and Cruz ultimate claimed the win on all three scorecards 50-45, 49-46, and 48-47.
Cruz is now 5-0 in WSB this season, and temporarily tops the Bantamweight rankings, but will have to rely on the failure of others this weekend if he is to earn one of the two Rio 2016 quota places through this competition.
Cuba's Olympic Games bronze medalist and two-time AIBA World Championships silver medalist Yasniel Toledo started his Light welterweight (64 kg) match with Britain's Samuel Maxwell like a whirlwind, and he landed many power shots on Maxwell in the first three minutes which led to a 10-8 round across the board.
Toledo kept up the pressure in the second and third rounds, but the resolute and tough Maxwell fought back in the fourth frames and caught the Cuban several times.
The fifth round was a different story, as Toledo again came out quickly and used his power to great effect, causing the referee gave the brave Maxwell two standing counts, before stopping the bout midway through the round after another Toledo barrage.
This result gave Cuba the overall victory on the night, and sent Toledo to the top of the Light welterweight rankings, four points ahead of Vincenzo Mangiacapre and Gaybatulla Gadzhialiyev who compete later this weekend.
Cuba's Arlen Lopez then won his sixth match of the season against British debutant Troy Williamson.
Both men came out swinging from the first bell, and Lopez dropped Williamson in the second round after a terrific left hook.
Williamson showed great toughness to recover from the knockdown, and the fight developed into an attacking masterclass, as each boxer threw caution to the wind for the entire contest.
The final scorecards of 50-43 twice and 50-44 did not flatter Lopez who won every round, but Williamson should take great confidence from standing up to dozens of power punches from one of WSB's best boxers.
Lopez moves to first in the Middleweight (75 kg) rankings, but will be aware that three further fighters could join him on 30 points at the end of the WSB weekend if they win their respective bouts.
Erislandy Savon sealed the whitewash victory for the Domadores, and took his Season V record to 7-0 when he stopped Romania's 0-5 Ionut-Mirel Jitaru in round two of their bout.
A terrific right uppercut dropped Jitaru, and the preciseness of the shot drew gasps and admiration from the crowd in London.
Savon's victory takes him to the top of the Heavyweight (91 kg) rankings, five points ahead of Kazakhstan's Vassiliy Levit who will need to win via unanimous decision or by stoppage on Saturday night to retake the lead and claim the sole Olympic quota for the weight class.
British Lionhearts travel to Mexico Guerreros in their last match of the group stages next week, while Cuba Domadores host Ukraine Otamans.

Strolling around Massa's historic centre
Historical and artistic itineraries at the foot of the Apuan Alps
Situated in a valley located near the Apuan Alps, the city of Massa sits along the Frigido stream. According to historical documents, it was founded in 882 and it became a medieval urban centre in the 11th and 12th centuries, acting as a fortified town for the Obertenghi feudal lords. The same document cites two settlements: Borgo Bagara, known as piazza degli Aranci today, and Curtis Quarantula,which is thought to be the area surrounding the Malaspina Castle. The city's current appearance was deeply influenced by Elisa Baciocchi, Napoleon Bonaparte's sister, who was the area's Grand Duchess in 1809.
Baciocchi was responsible for annexing the Tuscan government to the French empire. Shecalled for piazza degli Aranci to be widened, its last renovation to this day. In the middle of the piazza, you'll find a marble obelisk supported by four statue-fountains representing lions. It was built in 1853 to honour the Dukes Francesco IV and Francesco V of Modena. The imposing Ducal Palace, also known as Palazzo Rosso, dominates the piazza; it currently houses the city's Provincial Administration. From the 15th to 19th centuries, it hosted to the Malaspina family. The oldest part of the palace dates to 1557, and its construction was funded by Alberico I Cybo. In 1705, it was redesigned by the architectural geniuses Giovan Francesco and Alessandro Bergamini.
Cathedral of Santi Pietro e Francesco in Massa - Credit: whatifwewalked
In via Alberica, visitors won't want to miss a visit to the Diocesan Museum, located in one of Massa's most well-known historical palaces, Palazzino dei Cadetti. Built at the end of the 16th century by Alberico I Cybo Malspina, until 1970 it was used as a headquarters for the diocese's ten main bishops. Art lovers will delight in a three-piece painting by Bernardino del Castelletto and other works by Jacopo della Quercia, Felice Palma, Agostino Ghirlanda and Domenico Fiasella. If you walk along via Dante, you'll reach the Cathedral of Santi Pietro e Francesco.
The basilica was built in the 1800s, while its façade was finished much later, in 1936. It was originally a Franciscan monastery built on the orders of Marquis Jacopo Malaspinain the mid-15th century. Those interested in seeing other places of worship in town won't want to miss the vast, modern Church of San Sebastiano in piazza Palma. Nearby, you'll also find Teatro Guglielmi, built in 1880 as a court theatre and named after Alessandro Guglielmi, a musician from Massa. On the south-eastern side of town, walk along viale Chiesa until reaching the Church of the Misericordia, built in 1629. With its apse and lateral chapels, this gem still maintains its original architectural structure.

Q: Testing drag and drop in ruby I am trying to test a UI that has the ability to drag and drop. All im looking to do is to drag an element to another element on the page. The code is below.
it 'should drag and drop' do
    draggable = @driver.find('//*[@id="2"]').first
    droppable = @driver.find('//*[@id="dropmembers4"]').first
    draggable.drag_to(droppable)
    @driver.find('//div[contains(., "Dropped!")]').should_not be_nil
end

Currently im getting an error:
Failure/error: draggable = @driver.find('//*[@id="2"]').first
No method error: undefined method 'find' for nil:NilClass

Any help would be great.
Thanks

A: The @driver variable does not exist, that mean the initialization is not working. Here's the minimal initialization code:
$ [sudo] gem install selenium
$ selenium install

And the code for using it:
require 'selenium'
@driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:chrome)

And if you're using bundler to define dependencies, you should run:
$ bundle install

And then this code:
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'selenium'
@driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:chrome)

iPad Could Be Hobbled by Flaky ATandT Wireless Service
P. J. Connolly
One downside to the iPad is that the only mobile carrier it can be used with in the United States is AT&T; although Apple has a perfect right to partner with the carrier of its choice, users who spend a lot of time in locations that don't have very good 3G coverage from AT&T may want to save themselves some aggravation and money by sticking with the WiFi model.
In my field tests of the iPad with WiFi + 3G, I observed good performance overall from AT&T's 3G network, but with some marked exceptions to that rule. Generally, my test pages would load in under a minute from one location to the next at times stretching from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. But in one set of tests, what was decent performance at a certain spot at 5:15 p.m. turned into abysmal results when I'd moved about 40 feet up the street. Time after time, pages that just a few minutes before had loaded in seconds were still incomplete after five minutes.
Admittedly, that's specific to a busy street of downtown San Francisco, and one expects a degree of network congestion around 5:30 p.m. But I was in a fairly open spot by the standards of any city's downtown, so it may be that the only thing I proved is that AT&T's coverage in the first block or two of Second Street needs improvement. Nevertheless, I'm not sold on Ma Bell's mobile services, not by a long shot.
P. J. Connolly began writing for IT publications in 1997 and has a lengthy track record in both news and reviews. Since then, he's built two test labs from scratch and earned a reputation as the nicest skeptic you'll ever meet. Before taking up journalism, P. J. was an IT manager and consultant in San Francisco with a knack for networking the Apple Macintosh, and his love for technology is exceeded only by his contempt for the flavor of the month.

Q: Difference Between ! and != in JavaScript In JavaScript, what is the difference between doing:
if (a !b)
{
// something here
}

and
if (a != b)
{
// something here
}

I know that '!' is 'logical not' and '!=' is 'not equal to', but I am not sure on the difference between the two.
I have seen both examples used on SoloLearn projects though.
Neither of the above give any errors or warnings in my web browser (chrome).
I'm not sure how to use chrome's debug console yet.
I don't mean "difference between !== and !===" btw.

A: In JavaScript !foo is a boolean toggle so if foo = true; then !foo is checking to see if foo equals the opposite value in this case false,
your function:
if (a !b)
{
// something here
}

doesn't do anything, and should actually just be:
if (!b)
{
// something here
}

which tests to see if bis in the opposite state.
When you use != you are comparing two values to see if one doesn't equal to the other.
so your function:
if {a != b)
{
// something here
}

checks to see if a doesn't equal b.
Cheers.

A: A plain ! is a logical operator and indicates opposite. For example a common practice for toggling a boolean operator when you don't always know the current state would be the following:
// Toggle Foo, regardless of current value, assuming its of a boolean type.
var foo = !foo;

!= is an inequality operator and is used to test for "not equal" operator, it simply checks whether something is equal to whatever you are comparing it to.
Here is a great question about this in a more broad context.

Chile to Host Next UN Climate Change Conference in 2020
Chile was chosen to host the COP25 after Brazil stepped down and threatened to leave the Paris Accord.
by Q24N
Chile will host the 2020 U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP25) as decided near the end of this year's edition in Katowice, after Brazil stepped down citing financial issues.
Chilean Minister of Environment Carolina Schmidt is seen after Chile was named the host of COP25 conference, during the final day of the COP24 U.N. Climate Change Conference 2018 in Katowice, Poland, December 14, 2018. | Photo: Reuters
"We will have the great responsibility of leading and advancing toward a better control of climate change and global warming," Chilean President Sebastian Piñera told the press after the announcement.
The next summit was expected to take place between November 11 and 22, 2019, but Piñera said it will be in January 2020.
The rumors were first confirmed by Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, Costa Rica's environment and energy minister, speaking to EFE during the summit in Poland, and highlighted the importance for the summit to remain in Latin America after Brazil's decision.
"Chile, Costa Rica and other countries in the region agreed to support Chile to host the COP25," said Rodriguez.
Brazil withdrew its candidacy to host the 2019 COP25 conference citing budget limitations, but environmental groups understood the move as a favor to the incoming government led by the far-right Jair Bolsonaro, who has promised to pull out the South American giant from the Paris Accord on climate change.
Bolsonaro has also vowed to to remove restrictions on the agribusiness sector accused of causing untold devastation to the environment. In particular, the Amazon rainforest, and by appointing career diplomat Ernesto Araujo as his future foreign minister, a man who says that climate change is a plot by "cultural Marxists" and a "dogma" to promote the growth of China.
Costa Rica was another strong candidate to host the summit, but it declined citing financial issues. However, the Central American country will still host a meeting in October previous to the summit, coordinating with Chile since the first months of 2019.
The summit takes place in a different region every year and Latin America is the next in line after this year's summit in East Europe.
Rodriguez said that both Chile and Costa Rica have the "moral strength" to take the struggle against climate change "to the next level," understood as "the full implementation of the 2015 Paris Accord, aiming to limit the increase of temperature clearly below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels."
The election of Chile is important because the host country plays a key role as mediator and organizer in the negotiations – a complex multilateral process in which thousands of people from about 200 national delegations participate.
This year's summit began on Dec. 3 and is taking longer than expected. According to the Polish Environment Minister Henryk Kolwaczyk, the discussions about the implementation of the Paris Accords will go on until Saturday.
The issues being discussed are current efforts by every country in their fight against climate change, and financial aid for climate policies while setting new objectives for 2020.

Q: How to view GWT StackLayoutPanel without setting its Height in pixels I'm using GWT, I'm creating StackLayoutPanel dynamically. For eg. I have 4 or 5 StackLayoutPanels in a VerticalPanel. I set height of StackLayoutPanel in pixels. If i don't set the Height i see only one StackLayoutPanel in the view instead of 4 or 5. I want to see all the panels but don't want to set the Height in pixels.
My code,
    StackLayoutPanel stackLayoutPanel = new StackLayoutPanel(Unit.EM);
    stackLayoutPanel.setHeight("300px");
    List<String> list = Lists.newArrayList();
    VerticalPanel vPanel = new VerticalPanel();
    for(String value : list) {
         stackLayoutPanel.add(new Label("Hello"), new Label("Hai"), 4);
    }
    vPanel.add(stackLayoutPanel);

Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,
Gnik

A: Sometimes if those css properties are changed, those panels will be get disappeared sometimes. So just try to edit those, I might be wrong if so forgive me. For the container of the stacked layout panels I think it would be nice to have a flex table.
