Q: AngularJs Button Unresponsive in Cards on Click The buttons are unresponsive inside the cards. My goal is to show and hide hours upon clicking the button for each card. I have added Javascript to handle this function, but it does not seem to respond. When I create a button outside of the tag, buttons seem to function normal and scripts run fine. Any and all insight would be much appreciated as to what it is I am missing as I have tried almost everything I have the following:

The Denmark Strait cataract is an undersea waterfall found on the western side of the Denmark Strait in the Atlantic Ocean, on the Arctic Circle between Iceland and Greenland. It is the world's highest underwater waterfall, with water falling almost 3,505 meters (11,500 feet).

It is formed by the density difference of the water masses either side of the Denmark Strait, the eastern side being colder than the western. Due to this difference, when the two masses meet along the top ridge of the strait, the colder, denser water flows downwards and underneath the warmer, less dense water.

It is thought that the Denmark Strait cataract has a flow rate exceeding 175 million cubic feet (5.0 million cubic meters) per second, making it 350 times as voluminous as the extinct Guaíra Falls on the border of Brazil and Paraguay, which was once thought to be the most voluminous waterfall on Earth, and which itself was 12 times more voluminous than Victoria Falls.

The Danish name of the waterfall, Grønlandspumpen, and the Norwegian, Grønlandspumpa, mean the Greenland Pump.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Americans are most likely to name President Barack Obama as the man they admire most in 2016. Twenty-two percent mentioned Obama in response to the open-ended question. President-elect Donald Trump was second at 15%. It is Obama's ninth consecutive win, but the seven-percentage-point margin this year is his narrowest victory yet.
The results are based on a Dec. 7-11 poll. Since 1946, Gallup has asked Americans to name the man, living anywhere in the world, whom they admire most.
Incumbent presidents typically win the distinction -- in the 70 times Gallup has asked the question, the president has won 58 times. The 12 exceptions were mostly times when the sitting president was unpopular, including 2008, when Americans named President-elect Obama over President George W. Bush. Obama and Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 are the only presidents-elect to win the distinction. Eisenhower finished first 12 times, more than any other man in history. Obama is now second all-time with nine first-place finishes.
Obama's win over Trump this year is largely a result of the president earning more mentions among Democrats than Trump receives from Republicans. Fifty percent of Democrats named Obama as most admired, compared with 34% of Republicans choosing Trump.
The remainder of this year's top 10 most admired man list includes Pope Francis, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Rev. Billy Graham, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, The Dalai Lama, former President Bill Clinton, businessman and philanthropist Bill Gates, and Vice President-elect Mike Pence.
This year marks the 60th time Graham has finished in the top 10 -- a Gallup record. That includes making it into the top 10 every year since 1955, with the exception of the 1962 survey and in 1976, when the question was not asked.
Pence is the only newcomer among the top 10 men this year. Trump has finished in the top 10 five prior times -- in 1988, 1989, 1990, 2011 and 2015. Clinton made the top 10 for a 25th time and Gates for a 17th. Former President George W. Bush finished outside the top 10 for the first time since he was elected in 2000.
What woman that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most? And who is your second choice?
All of this year's leading women have finished in the top 10 multiple times before, led by Queen Elizabeth's record 48. Winfrey's 29th top 10 finish this year moved her ahead of Jacqueline Kennedy for the third-most-frequent appearances behind Queen Elizabeth and Margaret Thatcher (34). Clinton's 25 top 10 finishes rank fifth-best all-time. Rice has finished in the top 10 a total of 16 times, while Obama and Palin each made their ninth appearances in the top 10 this year.
Clinton was the top choice among Democrats, with 26% naming her, followed by Michelle Obama at 18%. Republicans did not have a consensus choice -- 5% named Queen Elizabeth, 4% each named Clinton and DeGeneres, and 3% each named Rice and Palin.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have been the most admired man and woman every year since 2008. Now, as both move into the post-political phase of their careers, their future status as most admired is uncertain.
Given the prominence of incumbent presidents as the most admired man, Trump may be the favorite to win the distinction next year, provided he does not have low job approval ratings in December 2017. Even if Obama does not win the honor next year, his relative youth and high favorable ratings could make him a fixture in the top 10 for years. Many ex-presidents have enjoyed long runs on the most admired man list after leaving office.
Clinton may have a better chance of staying most admired woman based on history. Former first ladies have won the title more than any other role -- 35 times in the 67 years the question has been asked. Most of those wins are for Roosevelt and Clinton, but Mamie Eisenhower, Kennedy and Betty Ford also won after their husband's term ended. Clinton may also be advantaged in the future because she will be in a less overt political role. Her highest favorable ratings to date came when she was first lady and secretary of state, while they fell significantly during her two presidential campaigns.
Americans view President-elect Donald Trump no more or less favorably than they did in the days after the election. His latest rating of 42% matches his rating from last month, while most still view him unfavorably.

Forgotten what festive season at work looked like? Here's how to celebrate the holidays virtually
The prospect of hosting online holiday parties is so daunting that only 23% of companies are even planning one.
By Reuters | Nov 11, 2020, 04:39 PM IST
Throwing everyone into an unfamiliar tech platform for an online party with no preparation is a recipe for disappointment.
NEW YORK: It may be a remote memory, but the workplace party is back for the holidays. While some companies throw up their hands at the thought, others are planning to celebrate like it's 2020 - in virtual worlds.
"We may be apart, but we do have the technology to create the psychological and emotional experience of being together," said Priya Parker, author of 'The Art of Gathering' and host of the New York Times podcast 'Together Apart'.
"People still need to party: We need release, we need connection, we need to let go of all this stress and step into a joyful space."
The prospect of hosting online holiday parties is so daunting that only 23% of companies are even planning one, compared to 76% last year, according to a new survey by staffing firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Of the employers trying to pull this off, about three-quarters are going to do it remotely. Some will throw parties in virtual environments so that even if you cannot be there, at least your avatar can have a pretty good time.
"With a lot of current online parties, it's just staring at a wall of faces, with the boss cracking corny jokes for an hour," said Salimah Ebrahim, co-founder of Artery, a startup that organizes gatherings and performances.
Ebrahim is building out a new platform, Bramble (bramble.live) that can create virtual worlds that feel more like a real-life party and less like a Webex team meeting. Its recent "House of Hallucinations," hosted in partnership with Brooklyn venue House of Yes, was named a top Halloween event in New York City by Time Out magazine.
Artery is putting finishing touches on the Holiday World options on its platform – think of a ski lodge vibe, with roaring fireplaces, cocktail bars, outside campfires, holiday playlists, performances and more.
"It's like Zoom meets Animal Crossing," Ebrahim said, referring to the video game set in a village of animals that fish, catch bugs and hunt for fossils.
Covid-19 is forcing us to be creative and celebrate in innovative ways such as virtual escape rooms, culinary battles, shared games like charades, murder mystery dinner parties. Novel solutions are endless for those willing to think outside the box.
Here are a few tips.
DO YOU NEED A PARTY?
Different teams need different things in this unique year, and leaders cannot decide without talking to the partygoers.
"Some communities this year need escape, some might want to mark losses, some might need moments of nonsensical joy," Parker said. "So first find out what your people need, and then design your event around it."
GET THE TECH RIGHT
Throwing everyone into an unfamiliar tech platform for an online party with no preparation is a recipe for disappointment. Choose an online environment that is fairly intuitive and easy to navigate, and spend some time getting everyone up to speed.
"Don't underestimate the need to know how to use the technology," Parker said. "Especially for older generations, you want to make sure they have the tools to meaningfully connect. It's very frustrating to deal with tech glitches, and not be able to be a part of something."
INVITE FAMILIES
As head of Atlanta's Team Building With Taste, Paul McKeon has been hosting culinary competitions for years, in his company's fully stocked commercial kitchen. This year, most of those kitchen battles are taking place online.
The best way to make a holiday party work is to allow a glimpse of your personal life, McKeon said.
"Make your partner the sous-chef, or have your son or daughter help in the prep work," said McKeon, whose chefs guide partygoers in creating dishes like risotto primavera and judge at least the plating, even if they cannot eat it.
"This is not the time to be just staring at each other's foreheads," McKeon noted. "We've all been lonely for so many months, so share a bit of yourself, make it personable, and have fun."

For Chris Brown, Everything's Coming up Roses
Special to Connect Savannah
Chris Brown at the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, CA, Jan. 1, 2022.
The Donate Life Courage of Hope float in the Tournament of Roses Parade.
In this season of giving and receiving, one local man is not only grateful to be alive, but due to the gift of a tissue donation, he's living pain-free and was honored by Donate Life as part of their Rose Parade Celebration in Pasadena, California.
Savannah's Chris Brown, as well as his wife, Keli, was a 2022 Donate Life float rider to help raise awareness of the life-changing impact of tissue donation. Something Chris knows about all too well.
On March 15, 2019, Chris Brown was helping out with an issue at the pulp mill where he worked.
"I was two stories up in the air when my hand got caught," he explained. "It literally ripped my arm off."
Miraculously, Brown was able to climb down from the machinery and get assistance from his co-workers before being rushed to the hospital. Despite losing his arm, Brown is grateful to be alive and still around for his four children.
Through surgery and rehabilitation, Brown kept a positive attitude to cover his suffering.
"A few months after my injury, I had relentless chronic pain," he said. "The pain was constant and often so intense it felt like lightning bolts shooting through my amputated arm. I was unable to work, sleep, or even function, pretty much daily in my life."
He explained how pain medication did little to help and instead caused unbearable side effects.
"I went through a plethora of medications to battle the pain. I think we tried everything… some serious pain medication. It didn't help much at all," he said.
Brown's Workers' Compensation case manager knew of his discomfort and informed him about surgery for nerve reconstruction. It was then that Chris was referred to local orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Greg Kolovich, who specializes in nerve pain.
"He told me that nerves leftover and/or injured from my amputation were the cause of my pain. He recommended surgical nerve repair," Brown said. "The tissue for the graft comes from a tissue donation from a donor."
The procedure surgically removes masses of scar tissue within the nerve and then reconstructs and reconnects the nerves of the donated tissue through a process called nerve allograft – which bridges the nerve gaps to potentially restore normal signals to the brain, according to Dr. Kolovich of Optim Orthopaedics.
"When Chris had his accident and lost his arm, the nerves to his arm were cut leaving them a bit like a live, ungrounded electrical wire," Dr. Kolovich said. "Unfortunately, the pain Chris experienced can be common after an amputation because of the nerve damage that occurs. Pain may be felt at the amputation site or experienced as phantom limb pain, where the damaged nerves send pain signals to the brain, making it think the limb is still intact. In Chris's case, neuromas—tangled masses of nerve fibers and scar tissue formed at the end of his cut nerves—were causing his pain."
"The procedure sort of gave my remaining nerves a job to do again," Brown added. "As the doctor said, that live wire needs to be grounded. So, when it's connected back, it no longer causes pain when it fires off."
Dr. Kolovich stated the goal of surgical nerve repair is to identify and fix the source of pain.
"I reconstructed each nerve by connecting them to uninjured nerves located in muscles within Chris's chest. Given the severity and location of his injury, each nerve reconstruction involved large gaps that needed to be bridged," the doctor said.
That bridge was made possible because of a donor's gift of human nerve tissue (Avance Nerve Graft), which allowed Brown's nerves to regenerate and restore more normal signals to his brain.
"All I can say is… 'Wow!'" Brown said with a laugh. "It's a pretty new procedure and I am so fortunate to have the support structure that I do. I appreciated that my doctor was honest upfront about how the surgery could make a difference and it certainly did. It got me out of pain."
Now, Brown is living pain-free, spending time with his family, and is back to work—all because of the gift of life through a tissue donation.
"I want to do everything I can to get the word out," Brown said. "There are other people like me who are in so much pain. If I can help let others know about tissue donation and the nerve graft, other families can have the chance to heal as mine has."
There are many living with chronic neuropathic pain. For these patients, Dr. Kolovich wants them to know there is hope.
"Advances in nerve repair surgery can potentially end your neuropathic pain and give you back your life. Chris is certainly living proof and he is one of many."
According to Donate Life America, tissue from one donor can help heal the lives of up to 75 patients.
"I know how fortunate I am and I am eager to do my part to get information out there about becoming an organ and tissue donor. We have it in our power to make this important decision to give the gift of life," Brown said.
Brown and his entire family received an all-expense-paid trip to the Rose Bowl where they participated in the Tournament of Roses Parade on the Donate Life float.
"My wife and kids have been great through all of this," Chris said, a bit emotionally. "This trip is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all of us. A true blessing."
"I have a wonderful support system," he continued. "It has been tough on everyone. There's shock, of course, but there's also the understanding that Daddy is hurt and his arm is missing. It takes a long time to get back to normal life again, but we're trying. We're having so much fun as a family that my arm is almost an afterthought."
"I'm just grateful for it all," Brown concluded. "My accident could have gone in a totally different direction. I would rather have my life. Especially throughout all the holidays. We're all so grateful for the opportunity and I hope folks can take a positive message out of my experiences and journey."
"People can literally change each other's lives."

This early black-brown salt glazed stoneware pewter-mounted Birnkrug "pear jug" was made in Annaberg, Germany in the second half of the 17th century. It has incised scaled body decoration of stylized relief palmettes and leaf ornamentation divided by applied molded borders, the front with a figure of Jesus. It is embellished in polychrome enamels and gilding, which have remained surprisingly vibrant after over 330 years. The hinged pewter lid is connected to a ball thumb piece and inset with what appears to be a coin with a crucifixion scene.
As rare as this 10″ high jug is, it is even more special to me by possessing a pewter replacement handle, added by an 18th century tinker, most likely in Germany, after the original handle broke off. The delicate handle, with an intricate stippled wave design and border, is supported by a mounted pewter base ring and lid collar. I first saw this pricy jug at an antiques shop over one year ago and passed on it. But I recently stopped by the shop again and was delighted to find that no one else had snatched it up. After a brief bargaining session with the friendly dealer, I was finally was able to purchase this gem and add it to my collection.
This jug of similar form and decoration still has its original handle.


Please make it possible to highlight the matching parenthesis with a color of my choice.
Thing is, right now, the highlight is too subtle to catch by an eye,thus I would love the ability to set my own colors for the matching pair of brackets.
Oh good, thank you Meir!

Q: How to rename multiple files by replacing word in file name geting from the shell script variables? This question like this thread.
How to rename multiple files by replacing word in file name?
My example is more complex than the above topic.
The two variables are $name and $ newname getting from the shell script other location.
 $name and $ newname may have the unicode words or special symbles like []<>♫...etc,so could anyone help me to provide a method to add a part of script in shell scrit to solve file name replacing question.
BTW,I try to type two kind of commands to change the part of file name, but it can't work.
rename.ul '$name' '$newname' /home/fy6877/test/final/*
ls /home/fy6877/test/final/|xargs -I$ rename.ul '$name' '$newname' $

A: Use rename or mmv. Neither of them should care whether there are UTF-8-encoded unicode symbols in your names, or whether the arguments given on the command line are variables or plain literals. Make sure to pass arguments as "$name" not '$name' to ensure that the value of the variable gets passed to the rename command.

Orcon Genius phone ... ?
Forums › Orcon and iServe › Orcon Genius phone ... ?
What is the story with the phone that matches the Orcon Genius router? My mother has signed up for UFB in Whangarei and received the router, I thought the phone might come with it.
Can you buy it, or you have to pay extra to rent, or what?
Orcon's website is pretty tragic so figured I'd get faster answer here.
If you want to set-up your own DECT handset, how is it done - can you just buy any off-the-shelf "extension" handset (without a base station) and link it up? How is this done securely?
You can plug any handset into the back of the router.
the DECT part of the genius should have a 4 digit code, you put that into the handset and it will connect to the genius. read the handbook that comes with the phone you buy.
don't just buy any phone though, have a look through previous posts. i remember someone saying certain brands work better than others with the genius.
Easier to just chop the phone connection from the outside world and then connect a current phone BT socket to the Genius phone socket using a standard BT to RJ11 cord. Then all the phones currently in use just work as before.
I had/have no problems but I did check out my wiring to make it as short and direct as possible. My sockets are just daisy chained. I have two DECT phone masters and an old pre-electronic age phone attached.
Not sure what difference extension stubs would make but someone here will likely answer that one.
But I would try it and see if it works. At least you know that it CAN work!
If your mum ordered the Genius lite modem, then yes it won't come with a DECT Phone.
If she ordered a Genius Full and it hasn't come with the phone then thats a mistake.
The lite version is designed to have a phone connected to the modem directly, like a dect base station.
I think, without having access to it atm, that it is the DECT version of the Genius because from memory it has the plug on the side for the phone charger power (I mean the USB or whatever it is socket).
Anyway she really wants two handsets so I am leaning more toward just buying 2 x standard DECT handsets, in which case I will have to start looking into which models guarantee compatibility and how easy it is to cost effectively buy two handsets without their own base station.
Don't over think it! She almost certainly has the Genius Lite (no handset). It appears as if Orcon have dropped the handset option, probably because people reported it was not much chop.
The USB port is not for charging, it is for attaching a disk.
The Genius Lite doesn't have any DECT functionality so there is no 'compatibiily' issue.
As for the two handsets, you buy a DECT base station with handset plus a satellite station/handset. Then you just plug the base station into the Genius phone port. Doesn't get any easier.
Or, like I said earlier, you can join the extant wiring into the Genius.
I just asked her on the phone and she says it has "DECT" labelled on the unit itself. Apparently the box says both "Lite" and "DECT" so go figure. Anyway unless the unit is mislabelled [?] then that sounds promising. I will have to turn it on and have a look at its firmware when I get a chance.
I don't want to have to connect a cordless phone base station to the router because we want to put it in an out-of-the-way place where we don't want a phone to go, and where there's no phone jack to connect up to the existing cabling in the house - and running a cable will be a PITA. That is the final resort.
If it is the DECT model you will still have to watch the range if the intended linked phone handset is a distance from the Genius.
And how is she connecting to the Internet? I presume by wireless seeing as you don't want to cable to it. I guess the wireless range has been taken into account.
Yeah ethernet would be even more of a b!tch. The house was only built a few years ago but it's totally impossible to add any cabling without destroying walls and ceilings. There's been no thought given to future wiring additions or maintenance by the builders at all, it's horrible. It turns out there aren't even any phone extension cables - the old copper line comes into the house in the kitchen and immediately terminates at a single jack, and that's it.
BadBadBadMonkey: I think, without having access to it atm, that it is the DECT version of the Genius because from memory it has the plug on the side for the phone charger power (I mean the USB or whatever it is socket).
When you go through the sign up process on orcons website it gives you the choice of genius full and genius lite. Im pretty sure both are identical, only difference one comes with the attachable handset.
We have 2x uniden cordless phones linked to the genius. In modem settings go to set up voip and down the side there is dect settings where you link a cordless phone and use the genius as a base station. Or just plug the cordless phone base station into the ports on the genius to use the base station that came with the cordless phones.
You are talking different ports. Both Genius variants have the USB on the network ports face to take USB storage/harddrive that is accessed via the fileserver function. The Genius Full unit has an additional USB socket on the side where the handset can dock for charging. If undocked the handset has its own power adapter. Externally it is the most obvious way to tell a Full from a Lite.
Nope, fundamentally different. Full has DECT function. Lite doesn't.


One Eagles of Death Metal crew member has reportedly been killed, and another injured during the tragic attack during the band's concert in Paris tonight.
The group were in the middle of a concert when gunmen opened fire inside Le Bataclan, the club where the band was playing. At this time, Patrick Klugman, deputy mayor of Paris, is reporting that 112 people were killed inside the club, and at least 153 people in a series of coordinated attacks on the city.
He said they were playing, about six songs into the show, they heard, before they saw anything, they heard automatic machine gunfire. It was so loud, it was louder than the band, and they hit the stage floor. As they got up to try to evacuate they saw men with machine guns just shooting anything and everything in the venue. They heard more than they could see because of the stage lights.
David Ian Hughes, brother of EoDM singer Jesse Hughes, said in a post on Facebook that Jesse is safe.
Jesse Hughes is ok. I spoke to him about an hour ago. The band is ok too. I hold out hope that as many people as possible make it out ok, as well. As the situation is still developing, I can not say much else.
After the initial attack, the gunmen took the concert-goers hostage. Police raided the venue, ending the hostage situation. Two gunmen were killed in the process, according to Billboard.
Other locations in and around Paris are reported as having been attacked as well, including a restaurant, and the Saint-Denis stadium, where the German and French national soccer teams were competing.

Lexus has introduced significant upgrades to its performance-oriented RC F sports coupe, adding dynamic improvements, premium interior appointments and expanded safety technology.
RC F is newly equipped with Drive Start Control to ensure smooth starts and optimal rapid acceleration when the driver is using the shift lever.
The control system manages power and torque delivery from the coupe's high-revving naturally aspirated V8 engine through its seamless eight-speed transmission, enhancing the coupe's sublime rear-wheel-drive dynamics.
To support driving enthusiasts, the system will not engage when the car's traction control is switched off. A light in the instrument panel indicates when the system is operational.
RC F, with its adaptive variable suspension, also gains a custom mode for its Drive Mode Select, enabling drivers to set their preferred powertrain, chassis and air conditioning settings.
The luxury interior now features a 10.3-inch display audio screen compared with the previous 7-inch unit and the multimedia system has also been upgraded. The Lexus Remote Touch pad is larger, making it easier to use.
An improved Lexus Safety System+ (LSS+) suite of technologies for RC F results in the pre-collision safety function1 being able to detect pedestrians as well as other vehicles.
The paint palette now includes Zinnia Yellow, which was introduced with the flagship LC coupe while Titanium replaces Sonic Silver. The RC F Carbon's 20-spoke forged high-grade alloy wheels have a new matte finish.
The halo V8 RC F is also offered with Carbon variant which applies carbon-fibre technology to its roof, active rear wing and interior trim for weight saving and added visual appeal. The bonnet is now aluminium, replacing carbon fibre.
Despite the higher specification, competitive pricing has been maintained for the RC F with prices starting from $138,1002, an increase of just $149.
The interior and safety updates introduced with the RC F also apply to the RC Line – the turbo-powered RC 300 (changed from RC 200t in line with the new Lexus naming convention) and the V6-powered RC 350. Both RC powertrains are offered in three equipment levels – Luxury, F Sport and Sports Luxury.
The 3.5-litre quad cam V6 engine in the Lexus RC 350 has been repowered to provide greater flexibility while improving fuel economy by more than three per cent.
Equipped with D-4S dual-injection to maintain acceleration performance while reducing fuel consumption and emissions, its combined-cycle figures improve to 9.1 litres/100km3 (an improvement of 3.2 per cent) with CO2 emissions of 212g/km3 (2.3 per cent better).
Other new technologies include VVT-iW (intelligent variable valve timing – wide) on the inlet camshafts and an integrated catalyst converter.
The V6 delivers 232kW of power at 6600rpm and 380Nm of torque from 4800-4900rpm, a gain of 2Nm and reduction of 1kW compared with the superseded engine.
RC 350 has an eight-speed direct-shift transmission, a feature shared with RC 300 and RC F.
Like the V6 engine, the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine in the RC 300 features VVT-iW and D-4S dual injection. It delivers 180kW of power at 5800rpm and 350Nm of torque from 1650-4400rpm.
Every Lexus RC offers comprehensive performance and luxury features including alloy wheels, LED headlamps and fog lamps, leather-accented trim, heated and ventilated front seats, power adjustment for the steering column and front seats, smart entry and start, satellite navigation, reversing camera and clearance sonars (front and rear).
F Sport variants are even more appealing with larger alloy wheels, premium Mark Levinson audio, blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, a smart key card and rain-sensing wipers.
Sports Luxury adds further premium standard specification including unique 19-inch wheels, semi-aniline leather seats, Shimamoku ornamentation and a moonroof – the latter available with the Enhancement Pack for Luxury and F Sport.


Hong Kong English (HKE) is a contact variety between two languages that have very distinct syllable structure: Cantonese with a simple structure allowing only three segments and English where syllables can be quite large. Unraveling the structure of the HKE syllable is however quite difficult because evidence is scarce. We do not have a sufficiently large corpus of HKE poetry and rhyme, neither has HKE been known to have language games (ludling) that involve syllable manipulation. In particular, ludlings are the phonological equivalent of a cloud chamber where the syllables may be smashed and their components observed, and hence it is a good probe into HKE syllable structure. In this study, speakers are taught a form of ludling involving backwards manipulation by encoding polysyllabic Cantonese words in reverse order of the syllables, hence Hong Kong is encoded as Kong Hong. These speakers are then invited to encode English words (both mono- and polysyllabic). This study reports a number of interesting findings on the basis of the range of possible backwards manipulations: (i) HKE allows diphthongs as the nucleus of a syllable; (ii) the HKE coda prefers plosives or nasals; (iii) the HKE onset allows clusters but fricatives tend to be treated as syllabic; and (iv) HKE allows syllabic obstruent segments.


Here's a fun fact that you might not be aware of: According to most public studies, people fear public speaking more than death. That's right. The majority of people would rather be buried six-feet under than have to get on stage and talk in front of other human beings.
That's ridiculous when you think about it. Public speaking is a short-term event after all, sometimes lasting mere minutes – even seconds – as opposed to hours. Death, on the other hand, is permanent. There's no coming back from that. But who said human beings were logical creatures?
Extreme as it may sound, I can totally sympathise with the above mindset. Personally, I absolutely hate public speaking and the range of emotions it can bring. The thought of getting up on stage in front of my peers, clutching a flimsy sheet of paper like some sort of life raft at sea is enough to make me want to pack my bags, find a deserted cave and live the rest of my life as a recluse.
So why do we detest public speaking so much? Well, it's quite simple really: we're afraid of rejection, we're scared of failing, and more importantly, we're too concerned with embarrassing ourselves in front of others. Sound familiar? Well, if you've made it this far then I can only assume you're nodding along in agreement.
What can we do, then, to change this predicament? How can we overcome the fear of public speaking, also known as Glossophobia, without the need for hours of therapy, or any shock tactics?
The hard truth is that you'll always be nervous before public speaking. Difficult to swallow, I know. But nerves are something you can't eradicate forever – even the most famous musicians get butterflies before a big concert. However, there are steps you can take to make you feel more comfortable and confident on stage.
An old school friend used to tell me, "Prior preparation prevents poor performance." And he's right. The better prepared you are, the more relaxed you'll feel knowing that you've done everything you can to ensure things run smoothly.
If you're haphazardly putting PowerPoint slides together in a desperate bid to get things finished, or scribbling a half-hearted script in the taxi to your speaking event, I guarantee you will feel stressed and worried that something will go wrong.
So, although it's tempting to watch one more episode of Game of Thrones, make sure you spend your time efficiently – that way, when your conference rolls around, you can relax knowing you're fully prepared.
"Practice makes perfect." Another common phrase that just so happens to be bang on the money.
Just like proper preparation, practising a speech or performance before an event is crucial if you want to eliminate any pitfalls that may arise. Ask a family member or friend to give you some feedback if you're delivering a talk, or simply practice in front of the mirror.
It may sound silly, but you'll be surprised at how effective this can be.
Remember: actors, musicians and even talk shows have rehearsals for this very reason – you should too!
OK, I can see you rolling your eyes, but it's honestly one of the most important points on this list. If you believe in yourself, then you're guaranteed to succeed no matter the outcome.
Self-belief is something that we all struggle with and a lack of it can strike at any time. But you have to ask yourself bluntly: what's the worst that can happen? Yes, I know those Doctor Pepper adverts played on this idea, but I promise nothing will be as bad as what those adverts portrayed!
If you believe in yourself, and your abilities, then you will feel more confident. I recently gave a presentation to a small group of peers and I just kept repeating this mantra in my head.
Put a smile on your face, stand up tall and remember, just believe in yourself!
I'd consider myself relatively handy around the house. I can build a few pieces of furniture, bleed a couple of radiators, but I don't have time to learn everything there is to know about plumbing, for example, nor do I have the tools available. So what do I do when the toilet's playing up? I hire an expert, of course.
When it comes to your presentation the same rule should apply. Why waste time toiling away in PowerPoint or Keynote, especially if you're not tech savvy. You want your slides to resonate with your audience, keep them engaged and empower your presentation. That's where a presentation designer can help.
A presentation designer can help elevate your presentation by making it look more professionally and visually appealing. This not only benefits your audience – it also benefits you, as a speaker. If you know your message is coming across clearly, you can be more confident as a presenter and participate with your audience. Oh, and you'll also have plenty of time to prepare and practice!
This, as any therapist familiar with cognitive behavioural therapy will tell you, is the ultimate cure to your public speaking woes. However, it's also the hardest pill to swallow.
By partaking in more public speaking opportunities, and exposing yourself to the very fear that cripples so many of us, your brain will eventually ascertain that this 'speaking in front of other humans thing' isn't that bad. And the more you do it, the more you prove to yourself (and your brain) that you're 100% capable. And when you believe in yourself, and your brain reinforces that belief, that's when your anxiety will, for the most part, disappear.
But of course this isn't easy, but if you follow the 4 previous steps, number 5 will take care of itself before you know it!
Don't let the fear of public speaking hold you back. Prepare, practice, believe in yourself and hire an expert if you need to. Seriously, you can do it.

The National Mentoring Partnership Celebrates January as National Mentoring Month
By eSchool News Staff
In partnership with American Student Assistance, MENTOR kicks off its Mentoring Amplifies campaign
January is National Mentoring Month and this year, MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership, is announcing its Mentoring Amplifies campaign in partnership with American Student Assistance (ASA). The Mentoring Amplifies campaign aims to honor the people who have helped shape the lives of young adults and helped them achieve their goals and ensuring that every student has equal access to opportunities like college, internships, clubs, sports, and more. Mentoring Amplifies and National mentoring Month are about building connections and driving potential, creating tomorrow's leaders.
"Mentoring Amplifies represents each individual who is committed to supporting and advocating for our nation's youth," said David Shapiro, CEO of MENTOR. "MENTOR and ASA are committed to equipping young people with mentoring relationships and growth opportunities everywhere they live, learn, work, and play. Together, we're providing tools and resources to further engage communities and invoke change. We are building a movement powered by possibilities."
Research shows that mentors play a powerful role in providing young people with the tools to strive and thrive, to attend and engage in school, and to reduce or avoid risky behavior like drug use. In turn, these young people are:
55% more likely to be enrolled in college
81% more likely to report participating regularly in sports or extracurricular activities
78% more likely to volunteer regularly in their communities.
More than twice as likely to say they held a leadership position in a club or sports team.
The same research shows that one in three young people in our country will grow up without a mentor. At the same time, research shows that 44% of adults are not yet mentoring but are willing to consider it and mentoring is poised for growth. Young adults aged 18 to 29 are more than twice as likely to cite having had a mentor in their childhood than those over 50-years-old. Almost half of today's young adults report having a mentor in their youth and those rates appear to have been rising steadily over the past several decades. National Mentoring Month is the time of year where engagement from community members interested in becoming a mentor is highest.
On January 27 to 29, MENTOR is hosting the virtual National Mentoring Summit. With 50 engaging workshops and a plethora of speakers, this year's summit is poised to be our biggest ever with mentors, mentees, government officials, philanthropists and more sharing stories and lessons on mentoring.
National Mentoring Month is led by MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership, the national organization working to expand the quality and quantity of youth mentoring relationships nationwide. Each year since its launch in 2002, National Mentoring Month has enjoyed the strong support of the President and the United States Congress. Other prominent individuals who have participated in the campaign include: Maya Angelou, former President Bill Clinton, Clint Eastwood, Quincy Jones, Cal Ripken Jr., Bill Russell, and Usher.
To learn more about the role mentoring plays in our community and to find volunteer opportunities visit mentoring.org.
ABOUT MENTOR
MENTOR is the unifying champion for quality youth mentoring in the United States. Our mission is to expand the quality and quantity of mentoring relationships nationwide. Potential is equally distributed; opportunity is not. A major driver of healthy development and opportunity is who you know and who's in your corner. 30 years ago, MENTOR was created to expand that opportunity for young people by building a youth mentoring field and movement. The result: a more than 10-fold increase in young people in structured mentoring relationships. Today, we are the expert voice representing a movement that is diverse and broad and seeps into every aspect of daily life – meeting young people everywhere they are from schools to workplaces and beyond.

Say goodbye to a fixed office space, a startup Doist launch a remote work plan
Apr 10, 2018 Scott MacomberFinancial
more than eight years ago, when Amir Salihefendic development Todoist, don't want to set up a network for the widespread use of employees.
Salihefendic grew up in Bosnia, when he was in the development of the task management tool is still in the Danish study of college students, the main purpose is for their own use. A few years later, he decided to devote in the vehicle, he found himself need to hire a few employees, and economic conditions don't allow him to work manner.
now, the official name is called Doist, company has been in more than 20 countries have more than 40 employees, throughout belarus, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Russia, South Korea and Spain, and so on, in the United States and five part-time employees. The team to provide services for more than 100 users. Not rely on any venture, the company only by subscribing to the content, from the beginning maintained a stable profitability, new registered users, about 10000 people a day.
this experience Salihefendic into the preacher work remotely. He is not a person in a fight, developed a WordPress surprise and Buffer has been preached for years distributed labor benefits, but what's interesting is Doist for its own interests do far more than other companies. It provides the tools for remote workers, and this process can be secondary to make full use of it.
away from the city of science and technology
Salihefendic is via Skype from Porto, Portugal, and I chat, he and his future wife decided to move to the city a few years ago. Doist nine employees to make their homes in Portugal, Salihefendic also fell in love with this country in a play, so they ought to build an office here. But they don't need!
Salihefendic Doist adopts distributed labor force is mainly out of necessity. When he worked in Taiwan for social networking Plurk, he applied for a whim Chile start-up incubator, approved a pack to leave he, since 2008, he is not attach importance to Todoist to get his attention. In developing the first mobile version of the application, Salihefendic start remote employees.
the first employee from Salihefendic Doist colleague recommended in the incubator. In order to better expand team, Doist adopted "guerrilla tactics", from the BBS of Hacker News, such as making and Reddit to recruit, at least before the company develop enough to attract candidates do.
"in San Diego is not I can hire out on a business trip to the great android developers," said Salihefendic, "may be there are some, but I can't find it."
Salihefendic soon found work remotely and other benefits. Not office and management cost, employment cost and such technology in San Francisco alone is half as long as compared to the city to a third, but also do not have to worry about such as Facebook and Google technology giant dig my corner.
"it isn't just a matter of overhead, and talent." Salihefendic said, "if you go to San Francisco, you are competing with millions of investment of a large company."
however, is perhaps the biggest benefit of Doist can develop at their own pace, and the little study on how to establish a remote company. Compared with those of other entrepreneurs Salihefendic investment in silicon valley and the pressure it brings to the company is very cautious.
he said: "this kind of investment will force the company develops very quickly, but not really to build an excellent team or to the development of the enterprise culture and experience necessary."
perfect and promote the remote tool
The development of the
Doist compared to other companies that telecommuting is not very different, as well as it in attracting new employees, including one can see how job seekers in the case of independent work will show the test. Employee benefits are included in the employee's office expenses and cost team occasionally meet. Salihefendic also emphasized the necessity of written communication, and every once in a while must achieve a particular goal. That is to say, the employer must be fully in this remote work mode, otherwise this way of working is doomed to fail.
but in the process of establishing remote company over the years, Salihefendic also found that the tools are not complete, and with the development of Doist, it can make better tools. Todoist itself had already started on this attempt, because the company must first to meet the demand of their employees.
, for example, to support different language problems, Doist just because in China there is a financial manager to make the problem simple a lot, helping to solve the complex problem of date stated. Salihefendic said: "in general, I think they may not need to spend a lot of time to improve Chinese date, testing, but for us it is very normal."
Salihefendic believe that if a product is made by the people around the world, and it is more likely to resonate with users around the world. He said Doist in Taiwan have a designer, offer opinions and European designers. He added: "now this time, we make the product must be oriented to the whole world rather than just wealthy white."
in addition to the to-do list software, Doist influenced by his own experience of distributed labor, is developing a new product. Salihefendic think it is a bit like Slack, companies are already using Slack, but pay more attention to the new software thread communication.
"we are developing the communication software, we also use it in, and to optimize it, make it more in line with our structure." Salihefendic said, "on Todoist is the same, we optimize our products to make them conform to our requirements, is likely to eventually they can meet the requirements of other remote company."
although there are some successful examples of work remotely, but the relatively small size. And don't have enough facts to prove that large company also can use the remote work. But Salihefendic want to give it a try.
"I don't think it is impossible to expand to the thousands of people." Salihefendic said, "one of the things we want to do is create a support tool working remotely. You will see many innovations we on these tools, they can help us to communicate, share, and arranged in a big team."

On this week's episode of TheMadTech Podcast, Tom Simpson, SVP, APAC, at AdColony, joins ExchangeWire's Mat Broughton and Lindsay Rowntree to discuss the latest news in media, marketing, and commerce.
- Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) could become a USD $56bn revenue opportunity for the luxury market by 2030, according to Morgan Stanley. The forecast, published by the investment banking giant in a research note last week, would represent a 10% share of the sector's revenue if achieved.
The projected growth could occur as a result of the proliferation of the metaverse, a virtual space where users interact with one another via customisable avatars. Acknowledging that the metaverse "will likely take many years to develop", the analysts behind the note said that "NFTs and social gaming offer two nearer-term opportunities for luxury brands."
Morgan Stanley also predict that the NFT market could grow to a value of USD $240bn by the next decade, with luxury brands making up 8% of the total NFT market (up from the 1% transaction value it's estimated that they currently account for). The virtual shopping experiences already available on gaming platforms like Roblox and Fortnite give an idea of what shopping in the metaverse might look like, with luxury brands such as Balenciaga and Gucci already taking advantage of selling virtually. The analysts anticipate that many more will seize this opportunity, particularly as the metaverse could allow brands to earn in "perpetuity".
- Facebook's incoming CTO Andrew Bosworth has outlined plans for how the social media giant can moderate their version of the metaverse. The company's current plan is to record all goings on within the metaverse (with the footage stored on individual users' headsets) and allow people to block other users and report bad behaviour on the platform. When an incident is reported, several minutes of footage will be sent for assessment by the company's human reviewers. Users will also be able to retreat to a "personal safety zone", withdraw from others via a personal "bubble", and request that a safety specialist invisibly monitor a potentially threatening situation.
Despite saying that the firm want "almost Disney levels of safety", Bosworth conceded that policing users' behaviour and interactions within the space "at any meaningful scale is practically impossible," and that virtual reality can be a "toxic environment" in an internal memo sent to colleagues last March. However, the Reality Labs boss said that Facebook should use their current community guidelines as a basis for moderating the new space, and indicated that as metaverse users will have a single account with Facebook's recently-renamed holding company, Meta, it will be possible to block offenders across all proprietary platforms.
Critics have expressed their scepticism that controlling the billions of interactions expected to take place across the sprawling virtual space will even be possible (not least for Facebook's formerly eponymous holding co, who have a poor record of containing and removing harmful content from their existing platforms). Commentators point out that the measures outlined are reactive and not preventative, and say that Facebook could use new AI technologies to pick up on dangerous behaviour more quickly. Another says that the firm should implement a screening process for developers like those in place on Apple's App Store. A Facebook spokesperson has said that moderating the metaverse "won't be the job of any one company alone. It will require collaboration across industry and with experts, governments, and regulators to get it right."
- Augmented reality company Niantic unveiled their first brand campaign, dubbed "Meet You Out There", last week. The two-minute video, which was created by Gravity Road, portrays human gamers within a hybrid world that's made up of reality and the metaverse. Initially released as a viewable in-game feature for players of Niantic's inaugural title, Ingress, the campaign is set to be issued across the US via a multimedia campaign.
A key emphasis within the campaign is the importance of going outdoors and interacting in real-world settings, something which the Pokemon GO creator considers particularly important. "Niantic products encourage our global community to get outside, explore, and connect with one another. This brand campaign — our first-ever — celebrates our mission and global community" said Archit Bhargava, director of worldwide product marketing, in a statement. Elsewhere, Bhargava said that the company's "three pillars are exploration, exercise and real world connection. [...] AR can serve this purpose of enhancing our outdoor experiences".
Founded 9 years ago by a team that spun out from what would later become Google Earth, Niantic wanted to use their expertise in building digital maps to create games that would encourage activity and exploration. Due to their focus on bringing virtual reality to the outdoors, they don't consider themselves a typical gaming company, and sought to use their debut campaign to promote their unique mission. "There is so much about the metaverse that is dark, dystopian and scary and negative," commented Mark Boyd, co-founder of Gravity Road. "But what Niantic talks about is the possibility. The film is the antithesis of people being stuck in a dark room. It's a rallying cry to get outside and experience the world."

110, feature, IL State Reps
A Zebra Never Changes its Stripes!
ON	January 26, 2014
ECWd's - 110th State Representative Race What do we really know about Darrel Cox? We know he violates rules and procedures, lies under oath, obstructs justice, drank prior to duty, violates rules of conduct and even with all that well documented negative behavior, he has the nerve to argue "his 17 years of good service, most of them as a sergeant, should count for more when weighing discipline. " For starters, please note that we do not agree about his so called "good service". Thankfully, neither did the judges!
"However, there have been several incidents of progressive discipline during his 17 years which did not serve to correct plaintiff's behavior. Length of service and rank sometimes call for more severe punishment, however." (Link to Text )
That's a polite way of saying you have been around long enough to know better and that is why the punishment should be more severe!
As you read all the truth about this guy many are asking how was he ever elected to be a Sheriff in the first place? It's clear he is neither qualified for that position nor a seat in Springfield as a State Representative.
Guys like this got elected because good citizens didn't stand up and demand answers to who the candidate really was.
As if all the evidence we are exposing is not enough I think the one thing that we can't overlook is that false statement he made during the questions on stage from the Tea Party event, specifically at the 31:20 mark.
He claims to take the oath to uphold our State Constitution and US Constitution serious?
Like I said before, a Zebra's stripes will never change. Darrel Cox has a well established pattern of deception and his bogus claim about taking his oath serious is yet another lie. Anyone who takes that oath seriously wouldn't have the laundry list of problems this guy has. If he expects anyone to believe he is serious about his oath then he should step out of this race and have himself arrested for the laws he has broken. It would save those who have been supporting him from any more embarrassment, and don't think for a second that the facts behind Conflicts of Interest and Official Misconduct aren't going to be more embarrassment when those go to print, let alone sexual assault/misconduct that had any one of us committed we would be prosecuted.

Amy Sherald has achieved something distinctive in her painted vision of one of the most photographed women of the twenty-first century.
Michelle Obama chose the Baltimore artist for her official portrait as First Lady of USA, unveiled in 2018. It was important to Obama that her portraitist should be an African-American woman, whose family, like her own, were once slaves. Sherald deploys her signature use of greyscale for Mrs Obama's skin, an approach that refuses to encode racial difference through the use of colour, and thus establishes what is, in the domain of portraiture, a historically-unprecedented equality between races. As Antwaun Sargent comments (2018), 'race is central to the narrative of Mrs Obama as an "ideal" wife because she is a pioneer: a black woman who became a first lady'.
Capturing an enigmatic facial expression which is much more than just a smile for the camera, this portrait is a powerful vision of Obama's unique character and grace, which she used to promote issues such as access to healthy food for the poor in America and education for girls worldwide. In the spirit of Proverbs 31, she spoke up for those who could not speak for themselves, and for the rights of those who are destitute (vv.8–9).
The dress worn by Obama is from the prestigious label 'Milly' by Michelle Smith. The wife of Proverbs 31, is also richly clothed (v.22). Sherald plays on conventions of ruler imagery by using the dress, spread in a wide triangle, to create monumentality in the composition. The bold geometric designs of black and grey on white, with red, yellow, and pink, reminded Sherald of paintings by Piet Mondrian, which she emulates by minimizing the folds of drapery. For Sherald, the dress patterns also evoked the long-standing traditions of quilting among black African-American women.
The choice of a sleeveless dress is daring within the traditions of First Lady portraits and highlights Mrs Obama's much talked-about muscular arms. While alluding to the idea of labour in her family heritage, these are transformed in a message of contemporary beauty and physical fitness. Read together with Proverbs 31, they also speak of her arms extended towards the poor and needy (v.20), and the strength and dignity with which she clothed herself in office (v.25).

Bodies of 16 killed in Channel boat disaster repatriated to Iraq
The bodies of 16 people killed when their boat sank in the Channel while trying to reach England were repatriated early Sunday to Iraqi Kurdistan where their families were awaiting them, an AFP photographer saw.
The plane carrying them arrived around 2:00 am at Arbil, capital of the autonomous region in northern Iraq.
The remains were transferred to ambulances to transport them to their hometowns of Darbandikhan, Ranya, Soran and Qadrawa.
At least 27 people perished in the November 24 tragedy, the deadliest disaster since the Channel became a hub for clandestine migrant crossings from France to England.

At the terminal at Arbil airport, emotional families waited for the arrival of the remains of their loved ones, some hugging each other or showing photos of their late relatives.
Originally scheduled for Friday, the repatriation had been postponed twice.
The 27 victims were mostly men but also included seven women, a 16-year-old and a seven-year-old child.
Besides the 16 Iraqi Kurds, the 26 identified included an Iranian Kurd, four Afghan men, three Ethiopians, a Somali and an Egyptian.
Only two people were rescued after their inflatable boat capsized, an Iraqi Kurd and a Sudanese national, according to the French interior ministry.
According to the Iraqi survivor there had been a total of 33 people aboard.
French investigators are still trying to establish a clearer picture of what happened during the disaster.
They have been investigating reports the passengers had telephoned both French and British emergency services, appealing for help when the vessel began sinking.
The disaster also caused major diplomatic tensions between London and Paris.
Within 48 hours of the accident, French President Emmanuel Macron accused British Prime Minister Boris Johnson of being "not serious" in his approach to stopping the crossings.
Paris was irked by Johnson's initial reaction, which was seen as deflecting blame onto France.

Occidental Petroleum sees shift in production growth to Middle East
Exclusive: Chief executive tells The National the US energy firm sees opportunities to grow downstream in the region

US energy firm Occidental Petroleum, a big player in the Permian shale basins expects to see "shift" in more production growth to the Middle East over the coming years, even as it mulls opportunities downstream in the region.
"While our company is growing with the production right now in the Permian Basin, we expect that over time that will shift and more growth will come from our operations here in the MiddChle East," Occidental Petroleum chief executive Vicki Hollub told The National in an interview in Abu Dhabi.
Houston-headquartered Occidental Petroleum is the biggest player in the Permian Basin, the largest shale basin in in the US where production averaged 3.831 million barrels per day in January, according to the Energy Information Administration. Occidental, which has operations in the Middle East and Latin America currently sees less than half of its production come from international operations.
• Adnoc awards onshore concession to US energy firm Occidental
• Adnoc awards Italy's Eni and Austria's OMV refining stakes
• Adnoc awards two offshore exploration blocks in first-ever competitive bid
A new area of interest for the energy firm in the Middle East is the downstream sector, which has seen multibillion dollar investment commitments from national oil companies in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Occidental Petroleum was awarded an onshore block by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company on Sunday for a participating fee of Dh893 million ($244m).
The US firm will hold a 100 per cent stake in the onshore Block 3 in the exploration phase as part of its 35-year concession agreement.
Ms Hollub sees possibilities of expansion in partnership downstream following the recent sale of stakes in Adnoc's refining units to existing upstream partners Eni and OMV of Italy and Austria.
"We're looking at downstream here in the Middle East," she said. "We like the fact that Dr Sultan [Al Jaber, Adnoc Group chief executive] has a view in Abu Dhabi that he wants to take all the value chain and convert that into value for the country. We support that."
Occidental, which also has a significant North American chemicals business in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins, chlorine and caustic soda segments, which find uses in the plastics and petrochemicals industries will look at possible synergies in the Middle East.
"We export products out of the United States to other markets so we feel like there's a possibility that at some point we could build [that] here in the Middle East," said Ms Hollub.
Another opportunity for the North American company, which has 450,000 bpd export capacity in the US is the possibility of entering into the trading business in the Middle East - a segment of increasing interest for state-backed energy firms in the region.
Following the sale of stakes in its refining unit last month, Adnoc invited its downstream partners Eni and OMV to establish a three-way trading joint venture.
"Exports are being traded both in Asia and in Europe right now. So we're selling oil in both places. Marketing here in the Middle East is something that we've done in the past and we'll figure out the best way to extract value for our products," said Ms Hollub.
The company is currently in "transition phase" with Qatar Petroleum in exiting the Idd El-Shargi field, which has been set for October, she said.
Occidental remained interested in "other opportunities" upstream in Abu Dhabi but declined to comment in detail. "We're processing some things internally," she said.
Elsewhere in the Middle East, Occidental will continue to advance development of exploration in blocks 9, 27 and 30 in Oman following completion of 3D seismic assessment.
