More than 30 years ago, the Center for Communication Programs (CCP) was created to recognize the crucial role of communication in public health. We remain leaders in social and behavior change today because we understand that words matter, that community matters and that only by working together can we improve the health of individuals, families, and communities around the world.

Q: ng-show directive not working Angular (controllerAs issue) I am building a single-page app with a timer and 2 buttons:

*

*1st one shows up on initial state (onBreak=false), and handles a 25min-timer

*2nd one shows up when the 1st timer is over (onBreak=true), and handles a 5min-timer

Here is the HTML :
  <h1>{{ home.time | formattime }}</h1>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" ng-hide="onBreak"
          ng-click="home.workTimer()" ng-bind="home.startOrResetWork">
  </button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" ng-show="onBreak"
          ng-click="home.breakTimer()" ng-bind="home.startOrResetBreak">
  </button>

The controller :
(function() {
  function HomeCtrl($interval) {
    var $ctrl = this;

    var promise;

    $ctrl.time = 1500;
    $ctrl.startOrResetWork = "START WORK";
    $ctrl.startOrResetBreak = "START BREAK";

    $ctrl.onBreak = false;

    $ctrl.stopTimer = function() {
      $interval.cancel(promise);
    };

    $ctrl.startTimer = function() {
      promise = $interval(function() {$ctrl.time--;}, 1000, [$ctrl.time]);
    };

    $ctrl.workTimer = function() {
      ($ctrl.startOrResetWork === "START WORK") ? $ctrl.startOrResetWork = "RESET" : $ctrl.startOrResetWork = "START WORK";
      if ($ctrl.startOrResetWork === "START WORK") {
        $ctrl.stopTimer();
        $ctrl.time = 1500;
      } else if ($ctrl.startOrResetWork === "RESET") {
        $ctrl.startTimer();
        promise.then(function() {
                      $scope.onBreak = true;
                    });
      }
    };

    $ctrl.breakTimer = function() {};

  }

  angular
    .module('pomodoroManager')
    .controller('HomeCtrl', ['$interval', HomeCtrl]);
})();

And app.js
(function() {

  function config($locationProvider, $stateProvider) {
    $locationProvider
      .html5Mode({
        enabled: true,
        requireBase: false
      });

    $stateProvider
      .state('home', {
        url: '/',
        controller: 'HomeCtrl as home',
        templateUrl: '/templates/home.html'
    });
  }

  angular
    .module('pomodoroManager', ['ui.router', 'ui.bootstrap', 'firebase'])
    .config(config);
})();

Basically, once the first countdown is over (promise.then(...)), I set onBreak to true, which should display the second button using the ng-show directive.
THE PROBLEM?
It does not. Using ng-inspector, I see that onBreak does equal true, but I keep seeing the first button and not the second one.
OTHER ISSUE:
Let say I create a function:
$ctrl.toggleOnBreak = function() {
  $ctrl.onBreak = true;
};

An then do:
promise.then($ctrl.toggleOnBreak());

I still don't get the correct button behavior, and even worse, onBreak get set to true on click, instead of when the timer is over...
Help please... it has been too long I am stuck on that

A: It seems like you are using controllerAs syntax in the controller but not in the HTML`. in your html need to reference a property to access the values.
ng-controller="HomeCtrl as $ctrl"

Now access the variable like this.
ng-hide="$ctrl.onBreak"

Any event has geographical and physical restrictions no matter where it is. Streaming events and content live on the web makes it accessible to a worldwide audience. This means attendance to your content can surpass any capacity limitations a physical event would have.
If you are streaming content live for a one time only event your stream becomes a rare and urgent entity. Online users take passive action towards content they can access on a regular basis, but if your stream is only available at one moment in time its urgency can create quite a stir on the web.
Live streams are a great way of boosting interaction between you and your potential clients. If your content is interesting to individuals in your niche or just a curious topic to outsiders you will be given the opportunity to engage with prospective clients who previously may not have thought about contacting you.
A free live stream could allow you to interact with new clients and create new business opportunities, while you could also charge for access to your stream, which could bring in extra revenue. Don't forget if your stream is of a physical event you would be able to charge both an admission fee for the physical attendees and another for online attendees.
Streaming live events and content could give your brand or business a fantastic point of differentiation. Live streamed events whether it's a Webinar, conference or just an informal tutorial chat are not something that is being used by many organisations. If you could take this innovative use of Internet video and steer it towards your organizations marketing aims then you could really start to set yourself apart from the rest of the competition.

Devin Townsend feeds Haunted Shores song a guest vocal
Posted by Bram Teitelman on April 4, 2016
If you're a fan of Periphery, you already know about Haunted Shores. That band has been around for a while and features the band's guitarists, Mark Holcomb and Misha Mansoor. Former Periphery singer Chris Baretto has been in the band, which is a studio project, as well. Last year, the band released Viscera, an all-instrumental EP. One of the songs on it, "Norway Jose," was one of the better tracks on that album, and it didn't necessarily need a remake – or vocals for that matter. But if Devin Townsend volunteers to sing on something, you let Devin sing.
The track, now called "Feed the Wolf," is a bonus track on the EP that will be available tomorrow via iTunes. However, Metal Sucks didn't want you to wait, and they're streaming it today – as are we, below! Devin Towsend fans are a special kind of crazy (in a good way), so they've probably already listened to this a million times, but even if you're not a Heavy Devy fan, this is a killer track.

and here's the original without all that Devin:

Rika Kihira wins Four Continents; American dance teams poised for medals
By Rachel LutzFeb 9, 2019, 1:46 AM EST
Grand Prix Final champion Rika Kihira from Japan took the ladies' title at the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships in Anaheim, Calif. on Friday.
"I was hardly able to practice my triple Axel in this rink but I was determined, very focused, and kept my concentration," Kihira said, according to the Associated Press. "I was able to leave yesterday's mistake behind. During this season, I learned how to keep my concentration in my free skating no matter what happens in my short program."
She scored 153.14 points in her free skate — which included one triple Axel — for a total overall score of 221.99 points. Countrywoman Mai Mihara has a gold, silver, and bronze medal from the past three editions of the Four Continents Championships after placing third this year.
Kazakhstan's Elizabet Tursynbaeva earned the silver medal with 207.46 total points and notched an honorable mention with a quad Salchow attempt in her free skate. She plans on continuing to try the quad in future competitions, she said, including the world championships next month.
Bradie Tennell, who was first after the short program, fell to fifth after a few under-rotation calls in the free skate. She scored 128.16 in the free skate for a total overall score of 202.07.
"I love skating for a home crowd, the energy is so great," Tennell said through U.S. Figure Skating. "I am grateful to all the fans for showing their support."
Mariah Bell sat third after the short program on Thursday but dropped to sixth after a subpar free skate, which scored 123.92 points for 193.94 points overall. The third American woman in the field, 16-year-old Ting Cui, finished 11th.
"I was surprised by the fall on the [triple] loop and then I kind of had a hard time refocusing after that," Bell said. "You live and learn, and Worlds will be better."
Friday's results: Pairs' short program | Ice dance rhythm dance | Ladies' free skate
U.S. national ice dance champions Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue hold a slim lead over U.S. silver medalists and their training partners, Madison Chock and Evan Bates. Hubbell and Donohue's 81.95 points, tallied earlier Friday, is just 0.78 points ahead of Chock and Bates' total.
"We're very pleased," Hubbell said. "I think we've been putting so much work this season, and we've improved so much, and it's testament to that."
"We've done a lot of work to prepare for three competitions in a short period of time, this being the third, and I feel like we're building each time we compete," Bates said. "This rhythm dance is the best of the year so far."
Canadians Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje are in third with 80.56 points. They competed just once this fall and elected to skip the Grand Prix Series to tour in shows.
The third American team in the field, Kaitlin Hawayek and Jean-Luc Baker, are fifth with 74.42 points.
The free dance is Sunday.
Four Continents reporter's notebook: Day 1 | Day 2
Earlier Friday, Olympic silver medalists Sui Wenjing and Han Cong returned to international competition after taking the fall off. However, Sui and Han sit behind Canadians Kirsten Moore-Towers and Michael Marinaro, who hold a 0.47-point lead over the Chinese pair. Sui missed her side-by-side triple toe and fell, costing the team. China's Cheng Peng and Jin Yang are in third with 69.48 points. The American teams in the field sit in fourth, fifth, and seventh place.
The pairs' free skate is Saturday, along with the men's free skate.

Music is a huge part of people's life. You see so many people with headphones in, listening to music, overhearing people talk about their favorite or least favorite songs. There are many pros of music, it makes people want to dance and sing along but there are also some cons. Once you start liking a song you start listening to it over and over again until you hate it and you eventually run out of new songs to listen to. There are music charts that help you keep up to date with new songs. If you're into trendy and up to date music, then this story is for you!
According to Quora, there are over 97 million songs in the world and people spend at least 32 hours on average a week listening to music. When people listen to the same song over and over again it is usually because they have some sort of connection to that song. Once we listen to a song for a while we tend to get bored of it and want to listen to new music. Even though there are many songs it may be hard to find new ones you like.
Most people like trendy music so once a song isn't trendy they look for new ones. That's why it's very helpful when people make top billboard charts of new trendy music. It's a chart based on new, popular music that everyone is listening to. It includes the music genres of pop, country, rap, etc. Those three are the most popular that are usually on the top charts. The Billboard website has more than 100 songs. The website updates every week with new popular songs.
