Q: Showing that there exists an element in abelian group from Herstein If $G$ is an abelian group where $a,b \in G$ have orders $m$ and $n$ respectively, I'm trying to show that there exists an element with order equal to $lcm(a,b)$. This is a verification of my proof, but there are other good answers given here.
I'm wondering why I can't make a simpler proof. First, consider the case  $a=b$. Then, $lcm(m,m) = m$, so $a$ satisfies the condition. Then, considering $a \neq b$ and $m \mid n$, $b$ satisfies the condition (or $a$ does, if $n \mid m$). Now, suppose that $a \neq b$, $m \nmid n$, $n \nmid m$.
Let $k = lcm(a,b)$. Since $G$ is an abelian group, $(ab)^k = a^kb^k$. Clearly, $a^kb^k = e$, since $n \mid k$ and $m \mid k$. Now it remains to be shown that $k$ is the smallest integer such that $(ab)^k = e$.
Consider all $l < k$ and $a^lb^l$. By construction, $k$ is the least integer such that $n \mid k$ and $m \mid k$. Therefore, at least one of $a^l \neq e$ or $b^l \neq e$ is true, so $(ab)^l \neq e$. Therefore $(ab)$ has order $k$, as desired.

A: Your proof is not right. There's no reason $a^lb^l\neq 1$ for $l<k$. Let $d=\mathrm{gcd} (m, n) $. Consider the elements $a^d$ and $b$. $a^d$ has order $m/d$, which is coprime to $n$. Thus if $(a^d)^lb^l=e$, then $a^{dl}$ and $b^l$ have the same order since they are inverses. This order must divide both $m/d$ and $n$, which are coprime, hence $a^{dl} =b^l =e$, so $l$ is at least $\mathrm{lcm} (m/d, n) =\mathrm{lcm} (m, n) $. Thus $a^db$ has the desired order.

I have an ibook g4, my hard drive is corrupted so i need to buy a new one, has anyone got any suggestions where i can get a cheap 60gb replacement?
Also if i wanted to upgrade my hard drive would i need to reconfigure my computer to accept it or would this be automatic.
Nope. Just install and format.
I second that. Also get a Seagate drive if you can. Good stuff.
And get a 7200RPM drive if you can afford it. those things are QUICK.
How about a 10,000 rpm boot drive with a 200gb HD? Nice setup.
How do you plan on getting that into an iBook?
Newegg definitely has the best prices, but if it breaks I've heard mixed reports about the customer service.
I've built numerous PC's using parts from there, and so far every time I've had to RMA something they've been great about it, and really quick. The only problem I've ever had was when I bought something that newegg said only the manufacturer would warranty. I had to find them to get an RMA, and that was a royal pain. Newegg's been good to me, though.
seagates are reliable and quiet.
Western Digital is solid as well. Both should come with a 5 year retail warranty.
do a search for seagate or western digital and you should find a good amount of deals.
the 60gb 4200rpm hd in my 1.33ghz 12" powerbook failed last summer. replaced it with western digital 80gb 5400rpm (WD800VE) and found it amazingly more quiet, faster, and more power efficient. now i actually get some decent battery life (went from 2-2.5hrs to a consistent 3.5hrs).
that is where i got my HD for my powerbook. it was cheaper then newegg.com.
No kidding. Seagate Momentus 120Gb 5,400 rpm here. It's very quiet, like hard drives should be.
eBay. You can get factory sealed drives for considerably cheaper than any other online retailer.

Recent guests particularly compliment this boutique's stylish accommodations, filled with large marble baths, complimentary morning newspapers and free Wi-Fi access. And most report an excellent stay overall thanks to the hotel's refined setting, superb location and delectable cuisine and cocktails served at the on-site restaurant and bar Harry Cipriani. However, a few mentioned the attention to detail could improve slightly, considering this hotel's caliber.

Since its opening in 1927, The Sherry-Netherland has been a Central Park favorite and a Fifth Avenue landmark thanks to its stunning architecture and Gothic minaret.
Rich in charm and elegance, with classic upscale New York character, this unique hotel exhibits a potent blend of sophistication centered around traditional 20th century decor and discreet service.
Built in 1927, this former residential hotel across from Central Park earns perfect scores for its "wonderful service," "perfect location," and rooms with a "million-dollar view of the park."
A hotel's guest rating is calculated using data provided under license by TripAdvisor. A total of 786 have reviewed the The Sherry-Netherland, giving it a rating of 5, on a scale of 1-5.
The opulent lobby transitions to guest rooms where traditional luxury details (marble baths and conservative color palettes) meet modern amenities (LCD TVs and iPod docking stations). All rooms have the same amenities including the hotel's standard king-sized bed and are uniquely decorated – some have vintage furniture or even (non-functioning) fireplaces.
Guest rooms have a shower/tub combo and some suites have separate showers and tubs.
Full concierge services, flower bouquet and chocolates upon arrival, notary public, and white-gloved elevator attendants to send you to your room
In the Upper East Side, on the edge of Central Park's southeastern tip, this historic hotel is hard to miss. In an old-money area that oozes luxury this hotel fits right in with its Fifth Avenue clock and Gothic minaret. This area is bustling during the day, but empties out in the evenings.
On Fifth Avenue, the hotel is just a stroll away from high-end shopping like Tiffany's, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Chanel to name a few. Just around the corner from the Pulitzer Fountain.
Four subway stations within a five block radius (subway lines F, N, Q, R, 4, 5 and 6)

A lively Italian haunt filled with regulars, Harry Cipriani is a "near duplicate" of Harry's Bar in Venice. The restaurant serves Venetian-style Italian food at a 20 percent discount to hotel guests.
Harry Cipriani is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week.
While the part of the Upper East Side surrounding the Sherry-Netherland isn't particularly known for its innovative restaurant scene, there are a few tucked away options including some delis four blocks south on Seventh Avenue
Room service from the restaurant is available from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily
Cuisine Types: Italian
The hotel began as the world's largest apartment building in 1927, and still houses several families, so the concierge is no stranger to accommodating family needs. From arranging babysitting services to kids amenities like age-appropriate welcome gifts, the Sherry-Netherland is a luxury experience for the whole family.
Five blocks south of the Central Park Zoo

Finders Keepers: Found Press's Radical Approach to Publishing
Submitted by Adebe D.A. on February 2, 2011 - 3:20pm
Found Press Media is a novel new publisher. But they don't publish novels. They don't even publish printed works. They are a new and exciting press that is sure to make waves in the Canadian publishing scene, one short story at a time.
Found press is the first fully digital short-story publisher (featuring titles in the form of e-books and audiobooks, which can be purchased through online bookstores as well as the Found Press website) to hit electronic shelves in Canada.
Every three months, the press releases a handful of collected stories in Found Press Quarterly, an online journal put together by the editors at Found Press Media. Unlike traditional short-writing collections, FPQ features pieces that are produced, promoted, and sold as stand-alone works. Readers have a choice between purchasing a single story or an entire collection. Single stories go for 99 cents, and collections are $3.75. Authors receive royalties, too.
Found Press likens the publishing model to the process of downloading singles from music albums online. Readers are given the freedom to preview and enjoy stories and authors at their leisure, accessing them by the Found Press website or online bookstores. Found Press publications are versatile and available vis-à-vis computer, smartphone, tablet, e-reader and even audiobook.
Found Press is based on a publishing model that combines high standards of writing with the promotion of the short-story genre, the ever-prevalent rise of e-book technology with a conscious effort to give recognition to individual authors and individual stories.
"We've always had a keen interest in finding new and better ways to promote short literature, and have just been waiting for the right catalyst—the right change in the environment—before deciding to try something bold," says founder Bryan Ibeas.
The press also prizes the beauty of literary works that uphold the possibility that less is/can be more. "We feel that short-form literary works are underappreciated," says Bryan. "In our opinion, they're every bit as powerful and meaningful as any novel. Found Press is a platform for short works to be treated with the same gravity and legitimacy as other forms of literature."
Ibeas formed Found Press Media with Jacqueline Lee Olynyk in 2010. Both were classmates in the Creative Book Publishing program at Humber College, and after interning at the same publishing house, continued to keep in touch over the years.
Named after the slogan/central philosophy of "stories everywhere," Found Press recognizes the importance of the internet and mobile technologies for widening readership. "People can purchase and read our stories pretty much everywhere," Bryan asserts. "Moreover, the internet has made it much easier to find good stories and good storytellers; the way we see it, stories really are everywhere."
Found Press is a keeper, and here to stay.
The Moment We Came Alive is FP's first quarterly collection: a neat and tidy package of short stories fresh off the electronic press. Found Press is now accepting submissions for the Spring 2011 edition of Found Press Quarterly.

ANZ bank will be scrapping all fees associated with personal banking accounts as of January 1 2017, CEO Shayne Elliot told staff and shareholders today.
In an email sent earlier this morning and obtained by Forward News writers, Elliot admitted that the majority of costs associated with personal banking (such as ATM withdrawal fees, account transfer fees, inactivity fees and other hidden administrative fees) were completely arbitrary figures that had little relation to the actual resources needed to complete them.
"People can't really believe that it costs anywhere up to $3 every time they use their bank card at a different institution's ATM, or that it costs $50 per annum to maintain an account that's accessed three times a year," said Elliot in the email.
According to the email, not only does ANZ make more than enough profit before personal banking fees are even calculated, but there are also many areas of the business that can absorb the impact.
"From now on, all of our advertising will be simple black and white messages demonstrating how much cheaper we will be to bank with than our competitors.

Once again, upon clearing out my email, I discovered this wonderful series of infographics from Good in a Room entitled "Screenplay Writing Explained in 7 Infographics. I really need to be better about checking my email. This was an interesting look at the world of screenwriting as a whole and a bit eye opening. Take a look! There's not only great information and tips, but some stats that show what one reader saw within 300 scripts.
A couple of days ago while scrolling through Twitter, I found this article from Screencraft entitled "How to Survive the Screenwriter Grind". I was left with a sort of "ugh" feeling. I don't think that was its intended purpose.
*Disclaimer: I did not intend for Fun Fact Friday to be defeating in anyway. I just wanted to share what I read. Okay, with that being said…this is my train of thought.
In the first article and the first infographic, of those 300 scripts, it does not say how many are by first time writers. I think the first story we, as writers, put out in the world, should be one we are passionate about. I, personally, am not passionate about the horror genre. I'm not a fan in general. Horror was the most submitted genre – 49 scripts. I find this surprising, especially in light of Spielberg's comments recently about superhero movies going the way of the western. I nearly roll my eyes every time I see yet another advert for a horror film/sequel.
Screenwriting is a business. I understand this. All screenwriters understand this. And it is a tough business to get in and stay in. But what I learned is that until we make things happen, we need to live our lives. This is something that needs to be reiterated. We may have jobs we don't really care for while waiting for the "big break", but we don't have to be unhappy in the interim.
I want to be a working screenwriter, so I've been taking jobs that maybe aren't the best to allow me some extra free time to work on my writing, but, and this is a big BUT, I need to be satisfied in my daily life in order to write the kind of stories I want to tell. At the moment I'm going to a very unfulfilling job and finding escape in my writing. Now yes, I write fantasy and sci-fi so it's easy to escape into those stories, but I'm not sure it should be a refuge from the outside world.
Finding balance, maybe that's how I'll survive the screenwriter grind.
What are your thoughts on surviving the writer's life?
Thanks so much for sharing the infographics article, Rachael!


Disorderly conduct while under the influence is unlawful in California. This is commonly referred to as drunk in public or public intoxication. A drunk in public charge in California can result in severe consequences, including jail time and fines.
Because you were under the influence, you were obstructing a public street, sidewalk, or other public area.
Punishment for this crime may increase if you have any prior offenses or if additional charges were filed following your arrest for the alleged incident (e.g. vandalism, assault, etc.).
Police used excessive force or incorrect procedures upon your arrest and/or incarceration.
What is considered a "public place"?
If you are intoxicated in a public place, you could be charged under PC 647(f).
open and accessible to anyone that wishes to go there. This means that, although you may be on the property of a private business in which drinking alcohol is allowed, such as a bar, club, or restaurant, California may recognize this property as a "public place" if it is open and accessible to the public. Thus, you may be convicted of public intoxication if the prosecution can prove that you were in a bar, club, sidewalk, street, or any place open to the public. However, there must be probable cause for your arrest, meaning that simple intoxication is not enough to constitute your arrest. That is why it is imperative that you hire a skilled attorney to defend you.
How do police know that I'm under the influence?
The police are allowed to use their training and experience in the field to make this determination. Though you don't have to submit to a breathalyzer, like in a DUI, the police will look for and document in a police report that you had blood-shot or watery eyes, slurring your words, unable to walk, etc. The prosecutor will prove this by calling the arresting officer to testify that you were under the influence and will look to their police report.
Can I be convicted of this crime if I'm at my own home or a friend's place?
No, unless you are stepping onto public property such as a street or a sidewalk, you most likely could be convicted of drunk in public while on private property.
How long may the police hold me in the "drunk tank"?
If it is reasonable to do so, the police may place you in jail and release you within any given time upon your own recognizance or upon bail. The police are also authorized to bring you to a treatment facility to evaluate your health and welfare if necessary.
If you or a loved one has been charged with drunk in public or any other alcohol or drug-related crime, you need to contact an experienced Wallin & Klarich criminal defense attorney immediately.
At Wallin & Klarich, our skilled attorneys have been successfully defending clients facing drunk in public charges for over 30 years. We will meet with you immediately to review the facts of your case, and plan a defense strategy that will help you get the very best outcome possible.

"If You Can't See It, You Can't Hit It – Directed Spraying In Corn"
Presented by: Dr Jason Deveau, OMAFRA. Wednesday January 25th 12:00 - 1:00 pm, on Zoom. Course fee: $12.00.
Spraying diseases such as Gibberella ear rot and tar spot are significant economic threats that reduce the quality of grain corn. As crop management practices provide only modest improvements in disease control, it is important to investigate strategies that increase fungicide efficacy. Research has shown that the timely application of fungicide labelled to suppress the disease improve efficacy (~50% in the case of mycotoxins). We wondered if changes in the method of application could give better results. We compared the spray coverage from several application methods. The leading method was then moved to field trials, where return on investment, efficacy, and ease of use were evaluated.

Q: WinHTTP: how to force close connection? When working with Binance REST API using WinHTTP, I noticed that requests sometimes are failed with the error
12030 the connection with the server was terminated abnormally

Each request is made like this: (the complete example is here)
WinHttpOpen(...)
WinHttpConnect(...)
{... making request itself;   }
if (hRequest) WinHttpCloseHandle(hRequest);
if (hConnect) WinHttpCloseHandle(hConnect);
if (hSession) WinHttpCloseHandle(hSession);

However, despite I close handles, the connection is reused (which I see in the HttpAnalyzer).
I suppose that this is the issue: the server starts dropping connection after N requests or seconds, accoring to server's keep-alive settings; At the same moment my client starts new request which failed with 12030.
Moreover. inspesting successful requests headers, I noticed that
Connection: Close

is passed from the server from time to time; I'd like to reconnect in such cases.
The question is: how do I prevent WInHTTP from trying to reuse connection which is about to be dropped by server?
Changing the registry "TcpTimedWaitDelay" parameter would not be efficient because request count per time may vary.
The same quesstion is actual for Delphi TNetHTTPClient (which uses WinHTTP) and Indy TIdHTTP.
As for Indy, releasing of the TIdHTTP object does not close the connection; however in this case we have source codes. The following patch in the  IdSSLOpenSSL.pas solves it:
If SSL_shutdown(fSSL) = 0
  then SSL_shutdown(fSSL);
//    SSL_shutdown(fSSL); <= was in original Indy10 IdSSLOpenSSL

What is linear propagation of light?
Property of light travelling in a straight line is linear propagation of light.
What is reflection of light?
The rays of light falling on an object from a source of light are thrown back from the substance of that object. This is reflection of light.
How do we see objects around us?
The rays of light falling on an object from a source of light are thrown back from the surface of that object. This is called reflection of light. We see the object when the reflected rays reach our eyes.
What is moonlight?
Sunlight reflected from the surface of the moon reaching us, in which we see the moon is called the moonlight.

The image formed in the mirror is 'laterally inverted' i.e. right side appears as left side and left side appears as right side.
What change do you see in the image if you decrease or increase your distance from the mirror?
When the distance between object and mirror is increased the size of image decreases where as, when the distance is decreased the image size increases.
What difference do you find in the height of the image in the mirror and yourself?
The size of the image in the mirror is the same as that of the object.

The materials through which light passes partially are said to be translucent.
How is the shadow in the morning, afternoon and evening?
The shadows are long in the mornings and evenings and short in the afternoon.
What is shade of a tree?
The shade of a tree is its shadow.
How many colours is sunlight made up of?
Sunlight is made up of seven colours.
Give reasons for the following.
When we see in the mirror, we see our image in the mirror.
When we see our face in the mirror, the light reflected from our face falls on the mirror and gets reflected back again. Hence, we see our image in the mirror.
Opaque materials cast shadow.
An opaque material does not allow light to pass. Hence, it casts a shadow.
Transparent and translucent object do not cast a shadow.
Translucent objects cast a faint shadow whereas transparent objects do not cast a shadow at all because they allow light to pass through them.
Use your brain power!
Why is the image on the diaphragm of the pinhole camera inverted?
1. The pinhole camera works on the principle of light travelling in a straight line.
2. The rays of light from the candle flame go in all directions.
3. We consider only two rays that pass through the hole and fall on the screen.
4. The rays intersect at the pinhole.
5. Since the rays cross over at that point, the top of the object appears at the bottom of the image and the bottom of the image appears at the top. Thus, we see an inverted image of the candle.
How will you light up a dark room using reflected light?
Focusing on the wall with torch light. Mirrors or reflectors can be used to get light from outside.
Try to start the TV by operating the remote control from behind it.
T.V will not start.
In which step is the flame of the candle seenclearly? Why?
In step 1 the flame of the candle is seen clearly because light travels in straight line.
Can you tell?
Can we see anything in total darkness?
No, we cannot see anything in total darkness.
What helps us to see the objects around us?
Reflected light helps us to see objects around us.
What does the light in each one of the pictures originate form?
1. Bulb
2. Firefly
3. Candle
4. Sun
Name the natural sources of light.
Sun, Fireflies
In which objects do we see our reflection?
All objects reflect light rays, but the best reflectors of light are mirrors, still water in a lake, new steel dish i.e. smooth shiny surfaces.
What difference do you notice on looking through the windows in the picture? What causes the difference? The picture shows transperant, opaque, translucent window panes. Spot them.
Through the first window we can see a clear picture of things outside.
Second window gives a faint image.
Through the third window, we can't see anything
The difference in the image is due to the material of the window panes.
The first window pane is transparent.
The second window pane is translucent.
The third window pane is opaque.
Answer the following questions in brief.
List factors on which shadow depends.
Shadow depends on relative distance between the source of light, the object and the surface on which the shadow is formed.
How we can see that light travels in straight line.
In the morning or in the afternoon, rays of light enter a slit in a door, window or a small hole in the roof.
As these rays of light from the slit or the hole move towards the floor, the dust particles in their way are clearly seen.
Due to these particles, the path of light becomes visible to us.
Thus we can see that their path is along straight lines.
What is the difference between an object and its reflection? What causes the difference?
Object and its reflection result in formation of images.
Reflections taking place from highly polished metals, mirrors, still water etc, form clear images.
Reflections taking place from wooden surface, flower, book form dull, blurred images.
The difference in reflections is caused by the surface of the object.
Regular reflections have smooth, polished surfaces, hence, image is clear.
Diffused reflections have hard, rough surfaces, hence, image is dull.
List characteristics of images in a plane mirror.
The left and right sides of the original object appear to be exchanged in the mirror image.
The image is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
The size of the image is the same as that of the object.
State the characteristics of image formed by a pinhole camera.
Characteristics of an image formed by a pinhole camera are as follows:
It is inverted/upside down.
It can be obtained on a screen – real image.
Try this.
Make your friend stand in between the torch and the wall. What happens?
Friend's Shadow forms on the wall.
Place a glass filled with water on a sheet of paper in the window so it receives direct sunlight. What is seen on the paper?
We see rainbow colours on the paper.
Can we do the same in a dark room with the help of a prism and a torch? What do we learn from this?
yes, we can. Light gets seperated into seven colour. From this we learn that white light contains seven colours.
If you dip the wire loop in the soap water and then blow it, soap bubbles are formed. Are the beautiful colours of the rainbow seen in these bubbles?
Yes, splitting of white light into different colours takes place.
What do you see on holding a CD in the sun?
CD reflects rainbow colours, and interesting : patterns.
Raise your right hand. In mirror which hand of the mirror image is raised?
Left hand of the mirror image is raised.
Is there any difference between your height and height of the mirror image?
The height remains the same.

but know it's been recycled, thrifted, hand-me-downed or gifted, and to the dear creature who has sacrificed most I offer no price, but many meditations well paid.
You will see me here or there my crown 'dorned full and gratefully feathered, be kin to know they have long since been pluck from vintage wings, cast down from the plumes of one who still soars the skies or pulled from a shelf of manufactured plumage.
Still, you will not find me cursing the man who captures the doe, or the woman who glistens like pressure crafted stars from a laboring man's land—no, 'for every life has a price to pay, every bird a good song—and we all have a measure of heart, no one being's strummings lesser or grander than the next.

If your business does end up facing a formal complaint or lawsuit, it is critical that you retain an attorney with significant experience in employment claims, as they often involve complex issues that don't arise in other types of cases. My legal career has been devoted almost exclusively to employment-related matters, and I have handled a variety of cases involving numerous types of contested claims in administrative agencies, and state and federal trial and appellate courts. I always provide my business clients a realistic assessment of potential liability, and discuss all possible options for moving forward.
