Linking words pronunciation /ng/ Just wondering if the [g] sound is sometimes used to link a word ending in [ŋ] and a word beginning with a vowel sound. For example, can "hang out" be pronounced as /hang-gout/?  If you know any helpful source about this inquiry, can you share it with me?  Thanks a bunch!
How to pronounce '-ing' followed by a vowel I'm getting into English recently and I'm a little confused by the way people pronounce a word that starts in a vowel right after a word ending in -ing.  For example:      You have to bring it up now?   I don't know if I should pronounce it as:   bring /ŋit/ brin' /nit/ bring /git/   Another example would be "I'm coming out".  Likewise, what about the ending -ang? For example:      We can just hang out and have a good time.    And to round it all up, what about a combination of the two? For example,      He got sick of hanging around waiting for you and went home.   I've been asking myself these questions for weeks.
I'm close to maxing out my character and I want to beat Ganon solely for the TRUE ending, but I'm too scared of losing some of my personal favorites from the Guardian Spear++ to fighting those damned Guardians (it was so fun).  So, after beating Ganon    Do monsters disappear? - Including the corrupted Guardians, but also the blood moons, I don't want to just face off against the Yiga Clan...

A prominent instance is the fruit bowl in Berlinghoff Rasmussen's quarters in "".  The first thing that Rasmussen does when Data takes him to his guest quarters is take a piece of fruit and shove it in his pocket.  Who replicates fruit for these fruit bowls before guests arrive?  More generally, who removes unused fruit and tidies quarters after guests leave?  Is there a ship hospitality staff, perhaps including Guinan's wait staff in Ten Forward? Proving two entire functions are constant. Let $f$ and $g$ be entire functions such that $f^n+g^n=1$, where $n\geq 3$ is an integer. Prove that $f$ and $g$ are constant.  I suppose I should somehow prove that either $f$ or $g$ is bounded so that I can apply Liouville's Theorem, but I don't see how. I tried setting the derivative of the left hand side equal to zero and work with that but that did not seem to work. Why is causality preserved in special relativity? PART 1: I was reading the article  Wikipedia. I couldn't understand this line:       "if the two events are causally connected ("event A causes event B"), the causal order is preserved (i.e., "event A precedes event B") in all frames of reference."     Is this an assumption or a consequence of STR? Please explain.       Note: My question consists of 2 parts this is the 2nd part. Below is a genral version of my previous question question:.   PART 2: Let there be three events $A$,$B$ and $C$ s.t: $C$ is the result of Simultaneous occurrence of $A$ and $B$. In other words $C$ occurs iff $A$ and $B$ are simultaneous. Now as we know in STR any two events separated in space are not simultaneous in different frames. So In some frames $C$ will occur and in some $C$ will not occur which will cause paradox. I tried many thought experiments to make such a paradox but i failed. In all the experiments that i thought i could not break the causality even by breaking the simultaneity because everytime the fact: "all signals move slower than light" preserved the causality.    So why causlity remains preserved always? Is it due to the fact that nothing can move faster than light? Short circuit or disconnect to bypass a compressor I have an Altec Lansing ATP3 2.1 audio system PCB which I reverse-engineered, and I would like to bypass the JFET compressor that's on it. Its active components are a JFET and four op-amps. I will connect the input to the output so it gets forwarded to the next stage.  My question is: should I disconnect the input and output from the compressor (in that case should I remove power supply as well, which would be very annoying), or can I leave it connected but short-circuited?  The block I want to short-circuit is the pink one on the left.    I realize the image is very small. The sound comes in on the right, in the green box. In the middle yellow box there's some trebble/volume/bass control. The small green box on its left merges the left and right channels to forward it to the subwoofer section, which is the complete left half of this diagram (except the red box on the left, which is just power). Signal then goes through a low-pass, a small equalizer and a compressor (the big purple box). It finally gets amplified in the brown power amp. Faction Membership Limits in Fallout 4 Are there any limitations to the faction memberships you can have in Fallout 4?  I'm brand-new to the Fallout universe, and just got to the point of being invited to the Brotherhood of Steel. However, I'm a bit concerned about their politics and how it may affect my standing with other factions I may encounter.  If I join the Brotherhood, will there be other factions that I can't join? Are there any other factions that have such limitations?

Catch Regex too complicated when splitting a string in salesforce I have created a function wherein I split a string from the csv filecsvAsString.split('\n') . It is working when the string is not so big. But when I try to split a very large string, an error will occur      regex too complicated   what I want to do is to catch if an error occur during the split process. How will I do it ? I've tried to use try and catch but the problem still occur. Is there any other possible solution? In the context of metric (and in general first-countable) topologies, it's reasonably clear what a closed set is: a set $F$ is closed if and only if every convergent sequence of points in $F$ converges to a point also in $F$. This naturally generalises to the definition of a closed set in an arbitrary topological space using the concept of limit points... but limit points are defined in terms of open sets, which are, to me, somewhat more mysterious than closed sets.  I was once told that ultrafilters axiomatise the concept of (sets of) big sets. I'm hoping here to find a similar conceptual picture of topologies defined by systems of open sets, preferably without reference to closed sets. One such explanation I've seen is that open set axiomatise the concept of nearness, which, I suppose, is fair enough at least for metric topologies. Indeed, if something is "happening" at points near $x \in X$, then it's usually the case that every open neighbourhood $U \subseteq X$ of $x$ contains an open subset $V \subseteq U$, $x \in V$, such that the something "happens" at all points in $V$. But what about non-metrisable topologies, particularly the coarse ones where there are no "small" open sets?  Consider, for example, the Zariski topology on affine $n$-space $\mathbb{A}^n$. $\mathbb{A}^n$ is irreducible, so every non-empty open set is dense. It seems reasonable to interpret this to mean that every non-empty open set is "large". Indeed, if we work over the complex numbers, then in the usual metric geometry, Zariski-open sets are unbounded and have full measure, so are very large indeed, so I don't think it's fair to say that open sets are capturing the notion of nearness here.  I'm also curious about the history of point set topology. When were the axioms first written down? What were the first "non-geometric" examples of topological spaces — "non-geometric" here referring to either non-metrisable topologies or topologies on sets other than sets of points of some intuitively geometric object — and were they part of the motivations for creating point set topology?

When I execute a program without specifying the full path to the executable, and Bash must search the directories in $PATH to find the binary, it seems that Bash remembers the path in some sort of cache. For example, I installed a build of Subversion from source to /usr/local, then typed svnsync help at the Bash prompt. Bash located the binary /usr/local/bin/svnsync for "svnsync" and executed it. Then when I deleted the installation of Subversion in /usr/local and re-ran svnsync help, Bash responds:  bash: /usr/local/bin/svnsync: No such file or directory   But, when I start a new instance of Bash, it finds and executes /usr/bin/svnsync.
