  • Choice of Foreign Names As a Strategy for Identity Management
    Intercultural Communication Studies XVII: 2 2008 Cheang Choice of Foreign Names as a Strategy for Identity Management Justina Cheang, University of Macau Regardless of the fact that Macau’s dominating population are Chinese, English names, or to be more exact, foreign names, are favored and widely used, be it in the businesses, the government, or education institutions. Though Chinese (Cantonese) is spoken by most in the city, local Chinese people’s favor in the use of English/foreign names, whether they are students, civil servants, or working in the business, does reflect their taste and their desired image to be displayed to others. Interviews are conducted showing that people’s choice of English/foreign names are somehow a strategy for identity management – certain names are chosen to show a pleasant personality, or other desirable qualities that they wanted to project to others. It is interesting to note that, other than English names, people would choose Portuguese names, Japanese names, names of things (non-proper names), or even people’s own creation for use. A Chinese saying: “One does not fear if he/she has a bad fate; what one fears most is to be given a bad name.” Rather than a Chinese saying, this should also be a universal consideration when most parents all over the world are finding names for their children. Most people get their names when they are born, and very often they themselves are not involved in the decision-making. What if we get a chance to decide on our own name? To get a name by oneself is probably a very unique trend in Asia, and especially, the Chinese communities.

  • Resident Mobility Analysis Based on Mobile-Phone Billing Data
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 96 ( 2013 ) 2032 – 2041 13th COTA International Conference of Transportation Professionals (CICTP 2013) Resident Mobility Analysis Based on Mobile-Phone Billing Data Rao Zonghaoa, Yang Dongyuana*, Duan Zhengyua aKey Laboratory of Road and Traffic Engineering of the Ministry of Education, Tongji University, P.O.Box 201804, Shanghai,China Abstract Many researches on resident mobility came from traditional data collection methods such as artificial or telephone surveys, but those approaches are difficult to update and the results are limited to a certain point in time. In the past few years, some innovative approaches have sought to use mobile devices to collect spatiotemporal data. In this paper we analyze spatial- temporal characteristics of resident mobility in the city of Shenzhen, using a data set captures for a seven-day period of more than one million anonymous mobile-phone users. In addition, we propose a method of recognizing the location of employment based on this kind of data and then plot an employment distribution map of Shenzhen. This method provides a new way to observe the employment distribution in a city. Understanding resident mobility from a city-wide perspective could provide researchers with convenience to forecast the traffic demand and take measures to traffic management, and could also lead to more informed decision making in both city planning and mass transit planning. ©© 20132013 The Authors.

In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors. Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM. The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM listed issuers.

  • United States Geography Olympiad Round #5
    United States Geography Olympiad Round 5 1. This system expanded in part because the area inside Route 128 had a moratorium on highway construction. The northeastern-most segment of this system runs from Bowdoin to Wonderland. In a song about this system, which mentions Jamaica Plain, a wife delivers sandwiches to it for life since her husband lacks the nickel needed to escape it; that song inspired the name of its “CharlieCard.” This system with a trifurcated Green Line has a Silver Line commuter rail to Logan International Airport, and its Red Line connects South Station to the Davis stop near the Tufts campus. For 10 points, name this system connecting Cambridge landmarks such as Harvard and MIT to many stops in Boston via underground trains.
