Enjoy a delicious cup of coffee from the coffee bushes surrounding the plantation – and then take some home with you!
Set in beautiful gardens under the shade of Mount Meru, Legendary Lodge is a luxurious and comfortable lodge in Arusha, perfect for an overnight stop either before or after visiting the Serengeti, Ngorongoro or Tarangire.
Set in the shadow of the majestic Mount Meru, sometimes swathed in misty cloud, Legendary Lodge really does live up to its name.
At the end of a sweeping drive which carves its way through ramrod-straight rows of coffee bushes, each bush drooping with the weight of its red coffee beans, is this very special lodge. Perfectly manicured gardens with towering mature trees, brightly colored flowers dotted about, and a myriad of birdlife surround the main house, decorated in colonial style and with a huge veranda on which delicious lunches are served.
The rooms are nestled in the gardens, comfortably apart from each other and each with its own veranda, some with views of the mountain and others with views of the garden. These rooms themselves are vast, each with a sitting area complete with open fire, and steps up to either twin or king size beds. At the back is the bathroom, with a delectable range of Africology toiletries, a rain shower and enormous bath, and double basins.
It's a tranquil little bit of paradise, and perfect for a pre- or post-safari stopover, or indeed for a few nights' relaxing break. Little touches can be found here and there – a vase of fresh roses in the room; a spiral bound notepad for guests to take with them; or a freshly stocked fruit bowl.
The lodge also has an extensive spa offering massages for the weary traveler, or manicures and pedicures. Overall the feeling is of very relaxed and understated luxury – but luxury all the same – and this makes Legendary Lodge one of our favorites in Arusha.
I absolutely loved Legendary Lodge when I visited briefly in June 2013. After a tiring overnight flight and a transfer there can be nothing better than arriving in its tranquil surroundings and being brilliantly looked after. The food is exquisite, usually served on the outside verandah, and the service exceptional. They make the best gin and tonic I have ever had!
The lodge is set in beautifully tended gardens, surrounded by coffee plantations, and is the perfect place to relax before or after your safari. For guests having had a really long flight, I'd highly recommend this for two nights before your safari to really give you a chance to relax and unwind. There is a spa offering massages and other treatments, and the gardens are perfect for relaxing or for some birdwatching - we spent our breakfast watching a family of weavers working busily. A really great spot in Arusha to start or end your safari.
Located on the outskirts of Arusha in lush tropical gardens and surrounded by a working coffee farm, Legendary Lodge sits in the shadow of the majestic Mount Meru in northern Tanzania.
8-hour 40-minute British Airways international flight to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi. From Nairobi it's then a 1-hour international flight to Arusha Airport. Alternatively fly via Nairobi with Kenya Airways, or via Europe with a European airline to Kilimanjaro International. The lodge is only 50-minutes from Kilimanjaro International Airport and 10-minutes from Arusha Airport.


SEYNE-LES-ALPES, France, March 25 (AP) — A cockpit voice recorder badly damaged when a German jetliner slammed into an Alpine mountainside and a crucial two-minute span when the pilot lost contact offer vital clues into the crash's cause, officials said Wednesday.
All 150 people on board were killed in Tuesday's crash of the Germanwings Airbus 320 in the southern French Alps.
Helicopters surveying the scattered debris lifted off at daybreak, hours ahead of the expected arrival of bereaved families and the French, German and Spanish leaders. The flight from Spain to Germany went into an unexplained eight-minute dive before crashing.
Key to the investigation is what happened during the minutes 10:30 and 10:31 a.m., said Segolene Royal, a top government minister whose portfolio includes transport. From then, controllers were unable to make contact with the plane.
Investigators retrieving data from the recorder will focus first "on the human voices, the conversations" followed by the cockpit sounds, Transport Secretary Alain Vidalies told Europe 1 radio. He said the government planned to release information gleaned from the black box as soon as it can be verified.
In Seyne-les-Alpes, locals had offered to host bereaved families because of a shortage of rooms to rent, said the town's mayor, Francis Hermitte.
The plane, operated by Germanwings, a budget subsidiary of Lufthansa, was less than an hour from landing in Duesseldorf on a flight from Barcelona when it unexpectedly went into a rapid eight-minute descent. The pilots sent out no distress call and had lost radio contact with their control center, France's aviation authority said.
An Air France flight from Paris to Saigon crashed just a few kilometers (miles) from the same spot in 1953, killing all 42 people on board.

Punisher: War Zone 4K 2008 Ultra HD 2160p
Country: Canada | Germany | USA
Producer: Lexi Alexander
Cast: Colin Salmon | Dash Mihok | Dominic West | Doug Hutchison | Julie Benz | Keram Malicki-S?nchez | Larry Day | Mark Camacho | Ray Stevenson | Romano Orzari | Ron Lea | Stephanie Janusauskas | T.J. Storm... | Tony Calabretta | Wayne Knight
Movie 4k for UHD TV. Story: The tough, brutal and merciless order-maker Frank Castle nicknamed the Punisher in the movie Punisher: War Zone 4K wages a real war with the world of organized crime. He does not know pity and compromise and with his own hands sends the bad guys to hell, or for an iron lattice. His methods are dictated by revenge, and actions by a thirst for justice. This time, he will clash with his main opponent, the mega-maniac Jigsaw, seated on the criminal throne of New York and controlling the whole army of psychopaths and thugs. On the other hand, the FBI is creating its own squadron, designed to stop a super-powerful Punisher attack. The war zone is defined! But this is only the beginning!
Of course, many were waiting for the "new beginning of the "Punisher 4K. Why of course? Yes, because for the entire existence of this character fans he had accumulated a lot. The first adaptation of this comic was released in 1989, Dolph Lundgren starred there, and although the film had nothing to do with the comic (except, of course, the title), it still became a cult in its own way. The second film was released relatively recently – in 2004. Tom Jane and John Travolta starred there. The film was very close in spirit to the comic book, but rested more on drama and dialogue than on action. Although the action that was there, really demonstrated what a real fighter should be.
And so, in 2008, the long-awaited "Punisher: War Zone 4K was released. What only rumors did not go about this film – and that this is an unfortunate continuation of the first part, and that the film is disgusting, and so on. But this, contrary to the opinion of some, is not at all the case.
The film was released by the company "Lions Gate Films, insanely loved by me, which, unfortunately, is experiencing hard the global economic crisis. This company produced both mainstream romantic comedies, and truly meat horror films, which, LGF has got much more. This film is undoubtedly a new milestone in their work.
So what is this movie? A real old school action movie. There is a lone hero. There are bad guys. The hero during the entire movie deals with the bad guys in the most brutal and cruel ways. Of course, this is not the factor by which the film was not missed on large screens – they missed and not such, but what the Punisher gets up to! Krovischa whips the river, the meat flies in all directions!
The main character here is very unusual. Thomas Jane, for example, was much more associated with the Punisher 4K than Ray Stevenson. Here it would be in this movie! However, Stevenson still superbly played his hero. He is very suit with a pattern in the form of a skull on his chest – this image has already become almost nominal.
And what is the villain in the film! In different translations it is called in different ways: the Jigsau, the Puzzle. Without a doubt, this is the best villain in the film series about the "Punisher 4K"! What is one of its kind! As if he came down from a different kind of horror movie. The villain himself turned out just gorgeous and very charismatic. Something he even reminds Joker from the famous movie about Batman "The Dark Knight – the same psychopath and the real personification of evil.
The film 4K, in my opinion, is just great. He is rather gloomy, bloody and truly merciless, to match the best militants of the old school. So, if you are a fan of such actions, then the movie is obligatory for viewing! Personally, he pleased me pleasantly. 4k download movie of Punisher: War Zone 2008 for UHD TV, PC, MAC.

Minister Breen issues call for Competitive Challenges at SBIR Ireland Proposers Conference
Minister of State for Trade, Employment, Business, EU Digital Single Market and Data Protection, Pat Breen has issued a second call for up to 10 new Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Ireland Competitive Challenges at a recent conference in Enterprise Ireland.
This year, Enterprise Ireland has successfully managed the launch of seven SBIR Challenges, including a call to find solutions to wildlife activity around Dublin Airport's runways and a call by Irish Rail to develop a preventative warning system against railway bridge strikes.
The competitive challenges are aimed at driving collaboration between Irish public-sector bodies and innovative SMEs to identify solutions to specific public-sector needs.
Minister Breen issued the call at the second SBIR Ireland Proposers Conference attended by specifiers/procurers from across public bodies. Expressions of Interest specific to Irish Public Bodies will open in October 2017 with Enterprise Ireland co-funding up to €500k made available to cover up to 10 Challenges.
Speaking at the conference, the Minister said: "The SBIR process is a fantastic initiative, facilitating competitions that enable innovation-led businesses to connect with public sector bodies to provide ideas and solutions to challenges facing the public sector. This allows for improved efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of public services that provide greater value for money outcomes. SBIR is particularly suited to small and medium businesses and I welcome the opportunities this offers to SMEs. The SBIR initiative, which observes best practice procurement processes, also supports and complements the Government's research, innovation and enterprise agenda".
SBIR Challenges are both diverse and rich in nature, spanning a wide variety of sectors which will ultimately benefit citizens' needs. In 2017, SBIR Challenges have included:
Cork Airport – a Real-Time Passenger Feedback Solution incorporating escalation alerts and capturing business inputs
Cork County Council – improving the quality of life of vulnerable, elderly or socially excluded people in Cork
Dublin Airport – how to significantly reduce and minimise wildlife activity in and around Dublin Airport
SMART Dublin (covering the 4 Dublin local authorities) – 1. Low Cost Gully Monitoring and 2. Low Cost, Innovative and Technological Solutions for Illegal Dumping in the Dublin Region
SMART Dublin + Grangegorman Development Agency – An adaptable mobile solution which will increase the accuracy of wayfinding for all persons with tailored capabilities for persons with limited or restricted mobility
Irish Rail – The development of innovative Warning, Prevention, Pre-emptive & Smart Bridge Strike Systems
Julie Sinnamon, CEO, Enterprise Ireland said: "Supporting businesses to start, innovate and scale is a key focus for Enterprise Ireland and through initiatives like SBIR Ireland, we are supporting collaboration between small business and the public sector with the purpose of driving business development and innovation. This has been an exciting and busy year for SBIR, a process which is internationally proven to facilitate innovative SMEs with early stage ideas to address challenges that are faced by the public sector. By supporting collaborations between SMEs and the public sector, we are harnessing innovative ideas and developing unique solutions which will ultimately have positive economic and societal benefits, not only here in Ireland but internationally as well".

Shakespeare's Anatomy of Love: Much Ado About Nothing
March 10, 2021 Author / Scholar Visit, Library Events, Previous Events, Virtual Eventmuch ado about nothing, paul cantor, shakespearerdelar16
A recording of this lecture is now available: https://youtu.be/2ogILax0p0E
STC Library presents scholar, author, and professor Dr. Paul Cantor of the University of Virginia, who will be discussing Shakespeare's play, "Much Ado About Nothing."
"Shakespeare's contemporaries promoted an overly idealistic—and hence impractical—view of love, which bred overly cynical views of love in reaction. In Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare used all his considerable comedic skills to debunk these false ideas of love, and thereby to reintegrate alienated lovers into society, and restore the healthy role of love as a force for community."
STC students, faculty, and staff are invited to enjoy film versions of the play, "Much Ado About Nothing," from 1984, 1993, and 2012. The play can also be read in full, here. Access to these resources requires an STC username and password.
A free, online version of the play, "Much Ado About Nothing," can be accessed by the public, here.

Home Crisis Responders Disaster Prevention MS-13 Member Sentenced for Plot to Commit Murder (Multi-Video)
MS-13 Member Sentenced for Plot to Commit Murder (Multi-Video)
Tammy Waitt
A MS-13 gang member was sentenced to 160 months in prison and three years of supervised release for conspiring and attempting to murder on behalf of the gang on Thursday.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Acting Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Blanco of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, Acting U.S. Attorney Stephen Schenning of the District of Maryland, Special Agent in Charge Andre R. Watson of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); Chief James Tom Kemp of the Greenbelt Police Department; Chief Hank Stawinski of the Prince George's County Police Department; and Prince George's County State's Attorney Angela D. Alsobrooks made the announcement.
"Transnational criminal organizations like MS-13 cannot continue to devastate our communities and our children. They must be stopped," said Attorney General Sessions.
Today's sentencing sends a warning to all gang and cartel members: we are coming for you."
(Attorney General Jeff Sessions delivered remarks about the MS-13 gang problem on Long Island. Courtesy of CBS New York and YouTube. Posted on Apr 28, 2017.)
"This outcome shows how strong cooperation between federal, state and local law enforcement can help us win the fight against violent gangs. I applaud the efforts of the fine Assistant U.S. Attorneys and all the dedicated men and women who brought this violent criminal to justice."
Celvin Eulice Ramos-Meija, aka "Cadejo," 21, of Columbia, Maryland, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Peter J. Messitte of the District of Maryland. Ramos-Mejia previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering and attempted murder in aid of racketeering.
MS-13 is an international gang composed primarily of immigrants or descendants of immigrants from El Salvador.
(Learn More about MS-13. Courtesy of CNN and YouTube)
Branches or "cliques" of MS-13, one of the largest street gangs in the U.S., operate throughout the U.S., including in Prince George's County, Montgomery County, and Frederick County, Maryland.
Members engage in racketeering activity including murder, extortion, robberies, obstruction of justice and other crimes.
MS-13 members are required to commit acts of violence within the gang and against rival gangs. One of the principal rules of MS-13 is that its members must attack and kill rivals, known as "chavalas," whenever possible.
(AG Jeff Sessions Speech at National Summit on Crime Reduction And Public Safety. Courtesy of Newsy Today and YouTube. Posted on 6/20/2017)
According to his plea agreement, Ramos-Mejia admitted that for the purpose of maintaining and increasing his position in MS-13, he conspired with other MS-13 members to murder a victim that he and his co-conspirators had identified as a "chavala."
Specifically, the Ramos-Mejia admitted that on June 6, 2016, he and other members and associates of MS-13 approached the victim in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Ramos-Mejia admitted that he made an MS-13 sign in the face of the victim, and that he and his co-conspirators then began to attack the victim.
According to the plea agreement, the victim survived the attack, but sustained multiple stab wounds and injuries, including lacerations to his abdomen, liver and diaphragm.
The victim was hospitalized for 10 days as a result of the attack.
HSI Baltimore, the Greenbelt Police Department, the Prince George's County Police Department, and the Prince George's County State's Attorney's Office investigated the case.
Trial Attorney Francesca Liquori of the Criminal Division's Organized Crime and Gang Section and Assistant U.S. Attorneys William D. Moomau and Lindsay Eyler Kaplan of the District of Maryland are prosecuting the case.

D-Link's CES Announcements
Published: Saturday, 05 January 2008 18:02
Written by Tim Higgins
{mospagebreak toctitle= D-Life}
D-Link's CES introductions focused more on its vision of the "digital home" than on basic networking connectivity and storage.
D-Link's vision of a place where "everything just works simply and effortlessly" for "a connected, digital lifestyle" is its new D-Life concept. D-Life is a combination of products and website (www.d-life.com) designed to bring networked products to folks who don't want to futz with the nasty business of configuring a typical networked product.
D-Life products
The site has you enter a id codes that come with the product into an account that you set up on the site. You're then registered and the products are supposedly ready to use. The website is also a vehicle for selling value-add services for those products, including minutes for what appears to be a VoIP cordless phone and storage for a "security camera".
You also, according to the D-Link release, will be able to connect to other D-Life users using "Internet phones, instant messaging and Internet voice mailbox" and remotely access the security camera feed.
D-Link didn't provide any information on the products other than the photo above, which looks like it includes a digital photo frame, powerline networking adapters, web/security camera, a small white box and cordless VoIP phone. I'll get more info when I make my stop at D-Link's booth on Tuesday.
Among the list of previously-released products in D-Link's announcements, I found two new products. The DPG-1200 PC-on-TV is said to stream anything that is playing on a (Windows) PC to a video projector or HD display.
DPG-1200 PC-on-TV
It supports photo viewing at 1280x720 and streaming video at 640x480 at up to 30 frames per second and connects to your LAN via 10/100 Ethernet or 802.11g wireless. Display / TV connection is via composite, component and VGA video outputs. You also get a remote with plenty of little buttons and a trackball for navigation.
This product would be a lot more interesting if it worked without a PC, but I suppose between DRM and all those different streaming standards, that would be too much to ask at this point. Look for it "later this quarter" and somewhere below its $200 MSRP.
Since digital picture frames seem to be continuing to gain popularity, D-Link is jumping in with its DSM-210 Internet Photo Frame. It features a 16 x 9 inch LCD screen, includes an interchangeable black or white frame and runs on a rechargeable battery. Content comes in via USB port, "common" memory cards, desktop widget or Ethernet or 802.11b/g network connection.
DSM-210 Internet Photo Frame
You also get access to a website (dlink.framechannel.com), where you can organize online photos and RSS feeds for display. The frame will also be hitting store shelves this quarter and has an MSRP of $250.
CES also marks the U.S. introduction of the DSM-330 DiVX ConnectedTM HD Media Player that started shipping in Europe earlier this year. The player allows viewing DivX videos from the PC and the Internet, including DivX HD videos with menus and subtitles, access Stage6 and other online video services.
You can also access videos, music and photos stored on networked PCs and NASes, as well as files stored on a USB flash drive, or external hard drive via a USB 2.0 port.

Q: Call PHP via AJAX My user needs to pick an option from a first <select> and according to his selection, a second <select> should offer different options.
You may have seen this when picking a State after picking a Country in many many websites.
I know there are hundred other questions like this but I have tried lots of their answers without any success.
So, here is where I am standing right now:

              Juzgado:
              <select class="form-control" id="juz" name="juz">
                <option value="1">Juzgado 1</option>
                <option value="2">Juzgado 2</option>
                <option value="3">Juzgado 3</option>
              </select>

                  Nominación:
                  <select class="form-control" id="nom" name="id_juz_nom">

                  </select>

Then... my AJAX

And finally this is my PHP:
    <?php
$juz = $_POST['juz'];
include 'conectar.php';
mysql_select_db('juz_nom');
$query  = "SELECT * FROM juz_nom WHERE juzgado=\"".$juz."\"";
$result = mysql_query($query);
?>

Nominación:
<select class="form-control" id="nom" name="id_juz_nom">
<option>Seleccione Nominación</option>
<?php while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { ?>
<option value=<?php echo $row['id_juz_nom']?>><?php echo $row['nominacion']?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select>

I've tried many methods such as this one and this other one. Without any success.
So, to be clear, what I need to do is: populate my second select with as many options as my MySQL query returns.

A: Change
data: { juz.value },

to
data: { juz },

and echo the HTML
as:
    echo "Nominación:
    <select class='form-control' id='nom' name='id_juz_nom'>
    <option>Seleccione Nominación</option>";
 while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    echo "<option value=$row['id_juz_nom']>$row['nominacion']</option>
    </select>";}

Researchers develop frequency-selective acoustic and haptic sensors for dual-mode human-machine interfaces
Lim Chang-won Reporter(cwlim34@ajunews.com) | Posted : March 28, 2022, 09:51 | Updated : March 28, 2022, 09:51

SEOUL -- Inspired by the frequency tunability of the inner structure of the cochlea in the human ear, various frequency-selective acoustic sensors have been created, but developments have been limited by the narrow tunable range of resonance frequencies and difficulties in miniaturization. South Korean researchers have developed frequency-selective acoustic and haptic sensors for dual-mode human-machine interfaces based on triboelectric sensors.
Developments in human-machine interfaces requiring high-frequency signal detection for robots, virtual reality, augmented reality, and Internet of Things (IoT) demand precise and intuitive control to deliver various senses and biosignals from humans. The accurate transmission of biosignals without the interference of surrounding noises is a key factor for the realization of human-machine interfaces.
Frequency-selective acoustic and haptic sensors developed by a research team from the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) showed high sensitivity and linearity under a wide range of dynamic pressures and resonance frequency, which enables high acoustic frequency selectivity in a wide frequency range from 145 to 9000 Hz,
The frequency-selective multichannel acoustic sensor array combined with an artificial neural network demonstrates over 95 percent accurate voice recognition for different frequency noises ranging from 100 to 8000 Hz, the research team said in a paper published on the website of Science Advances, a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary open-access scientific journal.
The dual-mode sensor with linear response and frequency selectivity over a wide range of dynamic pressures facilitated the differentiation of surface texture and control of an avatar robot using both acoustic and mechanical inputs without interference from surrounding noise, the team said.
The development of dynamic human-machine interfaces requires the selective recognition of desired frequency information without interference from surrounding noises. Researchers found that triboelectric sensors instantly generated high power in response to dynamic stimuli without additional power supply and recognized the multiple physical touch, motion, fine texture, and displacement of objects.
The UNIST team proposed a frequency-selective acoustic and haptic smart glove for dual-mode human-machine interfaces, as well as a hierarchical ferroelectric composite comprising surface macrodome and inner micropore structures decorated with nanoparticles to develop a self-powered frequency-selective triboelectric sensor with high sensitivity and linear response.
"We further demonstrated a triboelectric sensor-based smart glove for human-machine interfaces to remotely control various motions of robotic hands," the team said, adding that the capabilities of hierarchical triboelectric sensors based on ferroelectric composites provide a solid platform for improving conventional sensors and their application in humanoid robots, wearable devices and biometrics.

Andheri suicides were planned: Cops
Police have also recovered a suicide note from the siblings' mother's house.
Mumbai |
February 23, 2015 2:40:04 am
By: Rohit Alok
Investigations into the four suicides at Andheri (West) in Mumbai have indicated that the decision to take the extreme step was "planned", police said Sunday.
The deceased brother-sister duo, aged 20 and 25 years, respectively, worked as live-in housekeepers for a 35-year-old bachelor in Andheri's Lokhandwala area. On Friday night, the bodies were found hanging from dupattas tied to iron hooks in the ceiling at their employer's apartment. On Saturday, their mother and her second husband, too, were found dead, in an apparent case of suicide, in the former's Lokhandwala apartment in a similar fashion.
Police said a video on a cellphone recovered by them shows a clip of three of the deceased — the siblings' mother, her second husband and her son — "giving an explanation as to why they took their lives".
"The mother appeared to be saying in Hindi, 'my children were my life, now that they will kill themselves, I don't want to live anymore.' Her second husband said 'no one is to be held responsible for his actions'. He also said he was depressed due to severe diabetes and hypertension problems. Meanwhile, the son is seen accusing his employer of sexually harassing his sister for years and beating him up after getting drunk," said Subhash Vele, senior inspector, Oshiwara police station. Police said there were three videos on the cellphone that were being analysed.
Police have also recovered a suicide note from the siblings' mother's house. "The note was handwritten, in English, and signed by the daughter. We are trying to confirm its authenticity and how the note reached her mother's residence. In the note, the daughter accused her employer of prolonged sexual harassment and even directed police in the letter to watch a video on the cellphone that lay next to the bodies of her mother and step-father," Vele added. The one-page note also said the employer was putting pressure on the daughter to marry him, and that she kept refusing.
Vele also said the iron hook in the ceiling from which the mother and second husband hanged themselves had only recently been installed. Police also found two white sheets, traditionally used to cover bodies, at each house.
The police said the 35-year-old accused was arrested Saturday and was charged with abetment to suicide and molestation under the IPC. A holiday court remanded the accused in police custody till February 26.
"The evidence suggests that all the deceased took their lives around the same time. We think the probable time of death is 9.30 pm on Friday. Although the bodies of the couple were found Saturday, their bodies did not appear to be very decomposed as the AC in the living room was functioning when we reached," Vele said.
Police have also recovered the daughter's cellphone, which is locked, and are trying to unlock it.
All four bodies are at the mortuary at R N Cooper Hospital and the husband's brother is expected to take possession of his body after arriving from the US. Police are tracing the next of kin of the other three deceased.
'Cash for police'
Oshiwara police officers who conducted the panchnama of the bodies said during the panchnama of the flat where the mother of the siblings and her second husband were found dead, they recovered a 'transparent box' from the kitchen. The box, meant to store vegetables, had Rs 50,000. They also found a note with the cash, saying it was 'a prize for the police'.

It is that time of the year where optimism reigns supreme, the sky is the limit and everyone has a real shot at winning their divisions in Major League Baseball. That's the fan in me speaking and the eternal optimist but Las Vegas, who has the betting odds and has made a living off not only the triumphs but the falls of optimists such as myself, may or may not have something entirely different to say about some teams including the New York Yankees. Bovada Las Vegas has released their over-under win total predictions for all 30 MLB teams and it looks like it may be another frustrating season for the boys in pinstripes this summer.
According to this the Yankees will very likely miss the postseason once again in 2017 and the American League East may only send one team to the second season. Ouchies.


Oh my goodness, we love Jacqueline and Jon so much!
For starters A.J. connected with Jon about a year ago discussing business and boxing. Jon has such a passion for serving people well both in business and in life, it just happens to play out at the moment in his 9 Round gym. He and A.J. were fast friends.
Then, when Jacqueline and I met just a few weeks ago to discuss the wedding, we instantly realized we are basically the same person. Both ENFPs, similar back stories, the same love of adventure and stubborn unwillingness to be put into a box. She decided they'd be a great fit for our pre-marital counseling sessions and A.J. and I fell in love with them all over again as we got to hear their story and watch them pick on each other and read each other's minds as we discussed a few marriage expectations.
These two were meant for each other. She talked about how he makes her laugh and fills in the gaps where she lacks, making her better. He talked about how she keeps him fun and how she is THE person he wants to marry...not believing in two marriages, he knows they will make the sacrifices to ensure they stay together for life.
As the big day commenced and they bustled about Highgrove, the stresses of the day began to weigh in, but all of it disappeared as Jacqueline practically bounced (in her Jordan's) down the stairs to meet Jon for the first look. The moment they hugged each other you could just see the stress melt away. They talked and laughed, teased each other by choosing not to kiss til the ceremony and even practiced their first dance. Perfection.
The other aspect of the day that was perfection was Highgrove Estate. You guys. This place is unbelievable. Everything you could possibly need on site and a photographer's dream. It was made with the best light in mind and the whole day photographed so beautifully. I cannot wait to come back!
Jacqueline and Jon we love you both so much, we hope this week is full of rest and perfect bliss! Thank you for letting us be a part of you day! Hope you enjoy these favorites from the day!
This gold bracelet is a gift from Jon's mother to Jacqueline, it's a Persian tradition for the mother of the groom to give the bride a gift. And below, Jacqueline's Jordans. A lifetime favorite of hers could not be neglected on her big day. Love it!

Q: Java(Android) IOException: Authority expected at index 7: http:// I am trying to make this function download file from the internet. I pass two arguments to it: from - url to file on the net, to - local file path; The problem it throws IOException when opening stream:
Authority expected at index 7: http://

Here is my code:
private boolean downloadFile(String pathFrom, String pathTo)
{
    URL url;
    ReadableByteChannel rbc;
    FileOutputStream fos;

    try {
        url = new URL(pathFrom);
        rbc = Channels.newChannel(url.openStream());
        fos = new FileOutputStream(pathTo);
        fos.getChannel().transferFrom(rbc, 0, 1 << 24);
        return true;
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Failed to download file (" + pathFrom + ") because of malformed URL.");
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Failed to download file (" + pathFrom + ") because FileNotFoundException occured when opening output stream: " + e.getMessage());
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Failed to download file (" + pathFrom + ") because IOException occured when transfering file or opening input stream: " + e.getMessage());
    }

    return false;
}

As you can see, it also prints url of the file and it's just fine. You can paste it in the browser and it opens the file.
Anyone knows what causes it and/or how to fix it?
P.S. I have both uses permissions - INTERNET and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

A: Try to encode your url with the use of URLEncoder, in the UTF-8 format.
Sample code:
String encodedUrl = URLEncoder.encode(url.toString(), "UTF-8");


This recipe feeds 3-4. The first step is to cube about two pounds of venison steaks or roast. Add this meat and two large tomatoes (with the stem section cored out) to the slow cooker. Cook for 45 minutes.
While that cooks, quarter a white onion and separate the petals. In a medium mixing bowl, add one cup of whole milk, plain yogurt (not Greek) and stir in a tablespoon of minced garlic.
I bought Tandori masala spice already mixed, but you can easily find directions to mix your own online. I added two tablespoons to the yogurt, along with an additional teaspoon each of ground cumin, paprika, and chili powder.
Add salt and pepper and stir well. Stir in the onion petals.
Back to the pressure cooker: Once the meat and tomatoes are done, drain them and mix in the sauce and onions. Reset the pressure cooker and cook an additional 15-minutes.
Prepare one and half cups of dry rice, preferably basmati rice, as you usually would. One way, if you don't have a steamer, is to boil the rice at a ratio of 1:2 rice to water. Mix the rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil uncovered, then stir, cover and reduce the heat until the water is absorbed. For this dish, add 1/4 cup slivered almonds at the start. When the water is absorbed, add 1/4 cup milk and wait for that to absorb, too, then remove from the heat and fluff the rice.
Serve the venison, sauce, and onions on a bed of rice.


61% of businesses struggle to bridge the strategy/implementation gap.
Business leaders face external challenges posed by VUCA daily (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity); an exponential rate of change seeking to undermine your strategic plan and its execution —the 'fog of war'. This 'fog' is compounded by internal 'friction' —the challenges of creating emotional engagement and simultaneously creating the clarity that aligns thinking, systems, structure, and priorities, and co-ordinates activity in the face of competing demands, actual progress, and changing context.
One thing they all our clients share, however, is the need for a simple, practical and sustainable way to ensure that their organization pulls together to resolve a number of complex business issues.

Interview: Nia Vardalos Talks Helicopter Mom (Exclusive)
Karen Benardello
Endearingly encouraging your adolescent child to fearlessly explore their true identities, without harboring any concerns over how their personality will be perceived by their peers and community, can be a daunting experience. But supportive mother Maggie Cooper is so determined to remain close to her only son as he prepares to leave for college, that she'll do whatever it takes to prove she's supportive of his authentic personality in the upcoming independent comedy, 'Helicopter Mom.' Actress Nia Vardalos powerfully plays the at-times overbearing, but well-meaning, mother in director Salomé Breziner's latest film, which is set to be released in theaters and on VOD next Friday, April 24.
'Helicopter Mom' follows the financially pressed single mom Maggie, who begins to question the sexual orientation of her teenage son, Lloyd (Jason Dolley), who hasn't pursued a romantic relationship throughout his time in high school. In his free time, he enjoys writing poetry, which he's too sensitive about to show one of the girls in his English class, popular cheerleader Carrie (Skyler Samuels), who expresses interest in him. Combined with the fact that he only has one close male friend in school, Maggie decides her son is gay, but is too afraid to openly admit it.
While Lloyd has told his mother that he's confused about his sexual orientation, and he finds himself attracted to both boys and girls, Maggie's determined to set him up with various potential boys his age who she finds to be acceptable. She shows no boundaries in trying to help her son, even at the discouragement from her ex-husband, Max (Mark Boone Junior), who's determinedly trying to reconnect with Lloyd before he begins college.
As Maggie's attempts to protect Lloyd become more desperate, she even submits an application for him for a gay student college scholarship. While he begrudgingly agrees to go along with her plan, as he's determined to obtain financial aid to attend college, he becomes increasingly annoyed with his mother's endless manipulations. Resolute to find his own sense of identity without her input or influence, Lloyd takes the initiative to ask the person he wants to spend time with to the prom, much to her dismay that he's going against her plan. In the process of standing up for himself not only against his mother, but also the people at his school who have formed their own opinions about him, Lloyd finally discovers who he truly is, and the person he wants to become.
Vardalos generously took the time recently to talk about filming 'Helicopter Mom' during an exclusive interview over the phone. Among other things, the actress discussed how she was drawn to play Maggie, as she was interested in working with Breziner, who offered her and her co-stars the freedom to improvise with each other, and fully explore the evolution of parents' relationships with their children; and how Breziner's direction of the comedy not only proved the importance of having women filmmakers make meaningful movies about important life issues and relationships, but also how essential it is for teens like Lloyd to be completely comfortable in openly exploring their sexualities and identities.
ShockYa (SY): You play Maggie Cooper in the new comedy, 'Helicopter Mom.' What was it about the character, as well as the script and the movie overall, that convinced you to take on the role?
Nia Vardalos (NV): Well, I wanted to work with Salomé, because she's a female director. She also told me that she had rewritten the script, but she wanted us to have fun and improvise while we were filming. That really attracted me, because my background is in improv with (the improvisational comedy troupe) Second City.
SY: Speaking of improvising, what was the process of working in the moment with your co-stars on the set of this film, particularly since it's a comedy that features an important message about family? Did that process help create the bond between you and the other actors on the set?
As a life-long fan of entertainment, particularly films, television and music, and an endless passion for writing, Karen Benardello decided to combine the two for a career. She graduated from New York's LIU Post with a B.F.A in Journalism, Print and Electronic. While still attending college, Karen began writing for Shockya during the summer of 2007, when she began writing horror movie reviews. Since she began writing for Shockya, Karen has been promoted to the position of Senior Movies & Television Editor. Some of her duties in the position include interviewing filmmakers and musicians, producing posts on celebrity news and contributing reviews on albums and concerts. Some of her highlights include attending such festivals and conventions as the Tribeca Film Festival, the New York Film Festival, SXSW, Toronto After Dark, the Boston Film Festival and New York Comic-Con.

Life at the UC / Life in Cantabria
The University of Cantabria's campus is divided between Santander -the capital of the Autonomous Region of Cantabria- and Torrelavega, a town 20 kilometres from the capital. This beautiful region of half a million inhabitants is on the shores of the Cantabrian Sea and is crossed by a mountain range. The shores and inland valleys offer a wide variety of landscapes as a consequence of the mild, moist climate of socalled Green Spain. All along the coast there are typical traditional fishing ports and innumerable diverse beaches of soft white sand.
However, Cantabria's attractions are not limited to its natural treasures. History has provided a rich artistic and cultural heritage found in towns and villages that are outstanding in their own right. The archaeocological remains and historic buildings bear the mark of a unique history. It is here that we find the world famous Altamira cave paintings, a veritable shrine to the prehistoric age. In addition, there are remarkable remains from the Romans, the Mozarabic presence and the beginnings of the Reconquest of Spain. The artistic heritage offers us vivid evidence of the Romanesque, the Gothic and Baroque styles plus the singular architectural style of the 'indianos', returning adventurers from Latin America.
Santander is set around a natural port, providing the city with one of the most beautiful bays in the country. The coastal side of the city boasts a long string of top quality beaches and recreational areas, such as the Magdalena Peninsula, the Sardinero and Mataleñas Park.

North American Challenge Cup Takes Its Toll on Le Sommet
Despite a goo start to the season, Les Faucons had a tough time at the North American Challenge Cup in Boston, MA.
It all started on Friday morning, when Le Sommet took on College de Levis. While it was a relatively tame affair, a boarding call against Levis flared tempers late in the 2nd period. Despite the momentary turbulence, Levis maintained its composure, holding on for the victory.
Game 1 – NACC – College de Levis vs Les Faucons
Friday afternoon was another story, as Les Faucons opened up the flood gates, while the Rifles U17 had a parade to the penalty box in the second period, leading to 5 unanswered goals by Le Sommet.
Game 2 – NACC – Rifles U17 vs. Les Faucons
After night of rest, Le Sommet had its hands full with its PSHF rival, Bishop's College. Jeremy Doucet, the Faucons' goaltender was stellar, stopping 32 of 24 shots, but it wasn't enough to keep his team in the game, which they ultimately dropped 2-0.
Game 3 – NACC – BCS vs. Les Faucons
Another afternoon game, another solid effort by the boys in blue. Each team fired at least 30 shots at the opposition goaltender, but only Geronimo Whiteduck managed to bulge the twine, giving Le Sommet a 1-0 over the Rifles U19, and giving them a semi-final birth.
Unfortunately, Les Faucons didn't get the same result on Sunday, as the Rifles U19, who ultimately won the Challenge Cup, beat Le Sommet by a score of 2-0.

Apple and Google partner on COVID-19 contact tracing technology
Apple and Google are jointly developing technology to alert people if they have recently come into contact with others found to be infected with coronavirus, the BBC reports.
They hope to initially help third-party contact-tracing apps run efficiently.
But ultimately, they aim to do away with the need to download dedicated apps, to encourage the practice.
The two companies believe their approach – designed to keep users, whose participation would be voluntary, anonymous – addresses privacy concerns.
Their contact-tracing method would work by using a smartphone's Bluetooth signals to determine to whom the owner had recently been in proximity for long enough to have established contagion a risk.
If one of those people later tested positive for the Covid-19 virus, a warning would be sent to the original handset owner.
No GPS location data or personal information would be recorded.
"Privacy, transparency and consent are of utmost importance in this effort and we look forward to building this functionality in consultation with interested stakeholders," Apple and Google said in a joint statement.
"We will openly publish information about our work for others to analyse."
President Trump said his administration needed time to consider the development.
"It's very interesting, but a lot of people worry about it in terms of a person's freedom," he said during a White House press conference.
"We're going to take… a very strong long at it, and we'll let you know pretty soon."

Q: mobile site - reset the viewport on orientation change I have a mobile page that is 590px wide. So I set the viewport like this:
<meta name = "viewport" content = "width = 590">

When I first visit the page either in portrait or landscape - it looks fine. The page fills the width exactly. But when I change orientation the viewport doesn't change. When I go from portrait to landscape the viewport is wider than the 590px, and vice versa.
Tested only on Galaxy S2

A: This sounds exactly like the problem I was having. I couldn't find a consolidated answer so had to piece one together.
First, any CSS that appeared different on portrait and horizontal had to be put into it's own @media tag. It's important to right out the whole class into each @media selector, not just the bits that are different. CSS that is common to both views can got at the top. My device width was showing at 580 so I set the cut-off at 600 - you can set it to what you feel is right for you.
    // All CSS that is common to both

@media all and (min-device-width:601px)and (orientation:landscape){
    // All CSS for Landscape and Desktop
}
@media only screen and (max-device-width:600px)and (orientation:portrait){
    // All CSS for Portrait view
}

Next was the viewport settings. I put this code as standard into each of my page heads (the size is my Mobile Phone Portrait size). It needs the meta there so that the javascript can get to it later.
<meta name="viewport" id="viewport" content="width=480, initial-scale=0.25, maximum-scale=1.0;" />

Finally I had to use some Javascript to re-write the viewport settings when the page detected a rotation of the phone (thanks to Vinayak.B Original Article)
    //Code to display on mobiles
    //========================================

    var swidth = window.screen.width;
    //These were the values of my website CSS container for portrait and landscape
    var vpwidth = 480;
    var vlwidth = 960;

    updateOrientation();

    window.addEventListener('orientationchange', updateOrientation, false);

    function updateOrientation() {

      var viewport = document.querySelector("meta[name=viewport]");

      switch (window.orientation) {
        case 0: //portrait
          //set the viewport attributes to whatever you want!
            viewport.setAttribute('content', 'width=' + vpwidth + ', initial-scale=0.25, maximum-scale=1.0;')
          break;
        case 90: case -90: //landscape
          //set the viewport attributes to whatever you want!
            viewport.setAttribute('content', 'width=' + vlwidth + ', initial-scale=0.25, maximum-scale=1.0;')
          break;
        default:
          //set the viewport attributes to whatever you want!
            viewport.setAttribute('content', 'width=' + vpwidth + ', initial-scale=0.25, maximum-scale=1.0;')
          break;
      }
        //alert(swidth + ' lead to an initial width of ' + vpwidth + ' and a rotate width of ' + vlwidth);
    }

After HOURS of trying things out, this is what worked for me. For some reason on my phone, the initial-scale=1 screwed it up but 0.25 worked?! I hope it works for you or at least offers a good starting point.

A: Use device-width :
<meta name = "viewport" content = "width=device-width">

This handles orientation changes.

A: Had the same issue, this was my solution.
Reload the page after orientation change, then set viewport variables based on new orientation.
window.onorientationchange = function() {
  /*window.orientation returns a value that indicates whether iPhone is in portrait mode, landscape mode with the screen turned to the
    left, or landscape mode with the screen turned to the right. */
  var orientation = window.orientation;
  switch(orientation) {
    case 0:
        var current = $('body').attr('class');
        if(current != 'ps-active'){
            location.reload();
        }

        break;

    case 90:
        var current = $('body').attr('class');
        if(current != 'ps-active'){
            location.reload();
        }
        break;

    case -90:
        var current = $('body').attr('class');
        if(current != 'ps-active'){
            location.reload();
        }
        break;
  }
}

 $(document).ready(function() {
window.onload = function() {
  /*window.orientation returns a value that indicates whether iPhone is in portrait mode, landscape mode with the screen turned to the
    left, or landscape mode with the screen turned to the right. */
  var orientation = window.orientation;
  switch(orientation) {
    case 0:

        viewport = document.querySelector("meta[name=viewport]");
        viewport.setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width; initial-scale=0.2; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=yes;');
        $('.container').show();
        break;

    case 90:
        viewport = document.querySelector("meta[name=viewport]");
        viewport.setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width; initial-scale=0.4; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=yes;');
        $('.container').show();
        break;

    case -90:
        viewport = document.querySelector("meta[name=viewport]");
        viewport.setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width; initial-scale=0.4; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=yes;');
        $('.container').show();
        break;
    default:
        $('.container').show();
        break;
  }
}

A: This is what worked for me (tested in both iOS Safari and Chrome).
I wanted to force viewport to 400px in portrait mode and to 600px in landscape mode.
var resize = function() {
    $('body').removeClass('landscape').removeClass('portrait').addClass(orientation).css('width', $(window).width() + 'px');
}

var orientation = null;

var onOrientationChange = function () {
    switch(window.orientation) {
        case -90:
        case 90:
            orientation = 'landscape';
        break;
        default:
            orientation = 'portrait';
        break;
    }

    if(screen.width < 768) {
        if(orientation == 'landscape') {
            var scale = Math.round(screen.height / 600 * 10) / 10;
            $('#meta-viewport').attr('content', 'width=600px, initial-scale='+scale+', maximum-scale='+scale+', minimum-scale='+scale+', user-scalable=no'); // landscape mobile
        } else {
            var scale = Math.round(screen.width / 400 * 10) / 10;
            $('#meta-viewport').attr('content', 'width=400px, initial-scale='+scale+', maximum-scale='+scale+', minimum-scale='+scale+', user-scalable=no'); // portrait mobile
        }
    } else if(screen.width >= 768 && screen.width < 1200) {
        var scale = Math.round(screen.width / 960 * 10) / 10;
        $('#meta-viewport').attr('content', 'width=960px, initial-scale='+scale+', maximum-scale='+scale+', minimum-scale='+scale+', user-scalable=no');
    } else if(screen.width >= 1200) {
        $('#meta-viewport').attr('content', 'width=device-width, user-scalable=yes');
    }

    resize();
}

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(window).resize(resize);
    $(window).bind('orientationchange', onOrientationChange);
    onOrientationChange();
});

Hope it helps!

A: the matchMedia function works really well on Android in my testing:
var mql = window.matchMedia("(orientation: landscape)");
if (mql.matches) {
  /* The device is currently in landscape orientation */
}
else {
  /* The device is currently in portrait orientation */
}

A: Reset the viewport after orientation change. This JS could work, provided you have
<meta name="viewport/>

var maxWidth = screen.width;
var viewport = document.getElementsByName('viewport')[0];
viewport.setAttribute('content', 'width = ' + maxWidth + ', minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no');

A: I'm pretty certain you can only pickup the orientation change in the Galaxy using JS.
Try the snippet below.

From a related post: Orientation change in Android using javascript

function orientation_changed ()
{
    if ( is_portrait() )
    {
        //do something
    }
    else if ( is_landscape() )
    {
        // do something else
    }
    clearTimeout(window.t);
    delete window.t;
}

window.t = undefined;
window.onorientationchange = function (event)
{
    window.t = setTimeout('orientation_changed();', 250);
}

function is_landscape()
{
    var uagent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
    if ( uagent.search('ipad') > -1 )
    {
        var r = ( window.orientation == 90 || window.orientation == -90 );
    }
    else
    {
        var r = ( screen.width > screen.height );
    }
    return r;
}


On 18 November 2012 Churches across Britain will be marking Prisoners' Sunday and we are invited to pray for all prisoners and their families. It is a day of prayer and action for prisoners, their children and families, prison workers, ex-offenders, and victims of crime.
This time of year also marks the beginning of Prisons Week, which runs nationwide from 18 - 24 November and encourages Christians to think about and pray for all those affected by prison: prisoners and their families, prison staff and all those who care. The theme for this year is 'Taking the Path to Life' – a hope rooted in the Christian belief that the divine spark is in all people, that no-one is beyond redemption and that change can and does take place.
Resources to help mark Prisoners' Sunday can be downloaded from Pact's website through the links below. Prayers can be downloaded at the top right of this page.
Premier Christian Radio, in collaboration with Pact, has produced a documentary about the work Pact is doing through the Basic Caring Communities resettlement scheme. Premier visited Brixton Prison, where the scheme operates. Tune in to hear how inmates and ex-offenders are finding the scheme and how, through being treated with respect and kindness, and not just mere sympathy, they are transforming their lives. Premier speaks to volunteers and to people who set up the scheme about how they think it is reducing re-offending. You can also hear from Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor and his call for better understanding of the causes of crime and the rehabilitation of prisoners. The prison Governor and chaplain also comment on the scheme.
Sunday 18 November. Broadcast times: 9.01am on Sunday Breakfast Show and repeated at 10.01pm on Premier Tonight.

Ductless Heating Service in Port Charlotte, FL | Cliffs Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc.
Port Charlotte, FL Ductless Heating Services by Cliffs Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc.
Are you looking for a whole house heating system that will be as energy efficient as it is powerful? Whether you've heard of ductless heating systems or not, they are versatile systems that not only provide your home with sufficient warmth throughout the winter, but are also capable of providing you with cooling during the summer. As a leading provider of HVAC services in the area, we are your ductless heating experts. From the installation of new ductless heating and cooling systems from scratch, to follow–up repair, maintenance and replacement, ours is the number to call.
Cliffs Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc. provides ductless heating services in Port Charlotte, FL and the surrounding areas.
For many homeowners, the thought of heating without the use of ductwork seems rather perplexing. Where does the hot air come from if not from ducts? A conventional furnace or heat pump uses a centralized indoor air handler to pull your indoor air from the house, heat it, and then return it by means of supply and return air ducts. As its name suggests, a ductless heating system does not use ducts, but instead uses multiple indoor blower units installed directly within the living space, each of which can heat that section of your living space to a given temperature.
As you can well imagine, a new ductless mini split (as they are also called) can do wonders for your energy efficiency. Without a network of air ducts to travel through, your indoor air will be delivered promptly to your living space, and this means that you will save significantly in the short and long–term. But your new equipment's performance and efficiency truly depends upon the quality of your ductless heating installation.
In addition to installing new systems from scratch, we can also handle any ductless heating replacement that you may require. In the event that your repairs are becoming more frequent, or you find that your system has broken down entirely, we can make sure the job is taken care of properly. Our technicians can fully evaluate your system so that you can make a smart decision regarding the future of your ductless heating system.
Over time, all HVAC systems endure a fair amount of wear and tear, and your ductless heating system is no exception. If you find that your ductless heater fails to produce sufficient warmth and comfort for your entire home, causes your energy bills to rise sharply, or turns on and off intermittently, you can count on our team for an excellent solution. Our ductless heating repair service is outstanding and always available, day or night.
But many homeowners would prefer to eliminate most problems before they even start. To that end, we offer outstanding ductless heating maintenance services. We can make certain that your ductless heating system is thoroughly cleaned, inspected and tuned–up for maximum performance and efficiency levels. Not only will you shave off operation costs but you will also make certain that your system is as reliable as possible. Contact our friendly technicians today for details.

Q: Does $\gcd(a,bc)$ divides $\gcd(a, b)\gcd(a, c)$?
I want to prove that $\gcd(a,bc)$ divides $\gcd(a,b)\gcd(a,c)$ but I can't succeed.

I tried to go with $\gcd(a,b) = sa+tb$ and it didn't work, tried to use the fact that $\gcd(a,b)$ and $\gcd (a,c)$ divide $\gcd (a,bc)$ but got stuck again.
please help.

A: Let  $d=\gcd(a,bc)$ and $d_1=\gcd(a,b) $ and  $d_2=\gcd(a,c)$. Then there exits $ s_1, s_2,t_1, \text{ and } t_2  \in \mathbb{Z}$ such that  $$ d_1=s_1 a+t_1b$$ and  $$d_2= s_2a+t_2 c $$then $$ d_1d_2 = s_1s_2 a^2 +s_1 t_2ac +t_1 s_2 ba + t_1 t_2 bc$$ but $d\mid  a $  and  $d\mid  bc$ so $d\mid  a^2$, $d\mid ac$, $d\mid  ba$ and  $d\mid  bc$. Hence  $d \mid d_1d_2$.

A: $$(\gcd(a,b)\cdot\gcd(a,c))\mathbb Z= \gcd(a,b)\mathbb Z\cdot\gcd(a,c)\mathbb Z=(a\mathbb Z+b\mathbb Z)\cdot(a\mathbb Z+c\mathbb Z)\subseteq a^2\mathbb Z+ac\mathbb Z+ab\mathbb Z+bc\mathbb Z\subseteq a\mathbb Z+bc\mathbb Z=\gcd(a,bc)\mathbb Z\Rightarrow\gcd(a,bc)\mid\gcd(a,b)\cdot\gcd(a,c).$$

Edit. The property holds for $a,b,c\in R$ with $R$ a GCD domain.

Let $d=(a,b)$ and $e=(a,c)$. Then $a=da_1$, $b=db_1$ with $(a_1,b_1)=1$, and $a=ea_2$, $c=ec_2$ with $(a_2,c_2)=1$. We have to show that $(a,bc)=(da_1,db_1c)=d(a_1,b_1c)\mid de$, that is, $(a_1,b_1c)\mid e$. Set $f=(a_1,b_1c)$. Since $f\mid a_1$ and $(a_1,b_1)=1$ we have $(f,b_1)=1$. Then $f\mid c$ and $f\mid a$, so $f\mid e$.

A: $d:=(a,bc)\mid \color{#c00}a,bc\, \Rightarrow\, d\mid \color{#c00}aa,\color{#c00}ab,\color{#c00}ac,bc\, \Rightarrow\, d\mid (aa,ab,ac,bc)=(a,b)(a,c)$

A: Let $p_i$ be the $i$-th prime. For any positive integer $n$, denote by $[n]_i$ or $n_i$ the exponent of $p_i$ in the prime factorization of $n$, i.e.
$$n=p_1^{n_1}p_2^{n_2}\cdots.$$
Let $i>0$. We have:
$$
\begin{align*}
[\gcd(a,b)]_i &=\min(a_i,b_i) \\
[\gcd(a,c)]_i &=\min(a_i,c_i) \\
[\gcd(a,bc)]_i &=\min(a_i,b_i+c_i)
\end{align*}
$$
Also,
$$ \min(a_i,b_i+c_i)\le \min(a_i,b_i) + \min(a_i,c_i). $$
This can be seen by noting that $\min(a_i,b_i) + \min(a_i,c_i)\in\{2a_i,a_i+b_i,a_i+c_i,b_i+c_i\}$,
where each possible value is no less than either $a_i$ or $b_i+c_i$
because $a_i,b_i,c_i\ge 0$.
Thus, $[\gcd(a,bc)]_i\le [\gcd(a,b)]_i+[\gcd(a,c)]_i$, which translates to $\gcd(a,bc)\mid\gcd(a,b)\gcd(a,c)$.

Sizzling new arrangement by Vince Peterson of Tom Waits' "Temptation"
Vince Peterson is not yet an old friend like Chen Yi and Michael McGlynn ( and ALMOST old friend Mason Bates,) but he's already given us a new signature in pop music. His arrangement of Erika Lloyd's "Cells Planets" is now one of our national anthems among the younger set who sing it from our Hinshaw Chanticleer Series published scores. It's LAB Choir's favorite tune. (The other national anthems, as you probably know, are Biebl's "Ave Maria" and Shenandoah - both often sited as 'most favorite.') If you want to nominate something else, write in! Vince followed "Cells Planets" up with Freddy Mercury/Queens' "Somebody to Love" which was a hit all over the U.S. and Europe in last year's "Love Story" program, and continues to be heard. We'll be singing Temptation later this afternoon at the SF Conservatory. Now we have yet another change of pace with "Temptation" which is just sultry. So thanks to Vince for his contribution to our anniversary program.
Vince is the Director of New York's Choral Chamelion, and you can find out all about him at www.vincepeterson.com.

kothes • Our information life cycle services.
Before information reaches users, it runs through a variety of stations and processes. They involve actors from many different areas, ranging from development to production. Coordinating these different inputs, processing them and then issuing them in user-friendly ways calls for an ability to keep track of things, a good network and plenty of expertise.
We provide advice and assistance in all areas and work with you to develop individual information concepts for lean processes and user-focused end products with added value.
We provide advice on all aspects of the information life cycle, and we can act as your sounding board for all kinds of issues. We work with you to develop individual concepts that are tailored to the conditions and requirements of your company.
From editorial work, translation and terminology management, to product safety and visualisation, we handle work in all areas of technical documentation on your behalf.
With our team, your product is in good hands. "Business process outsourcing" means that you ask us to handle complete, previously defined process sequences on your behalf. We optimise these processes and ensure smooth procedures, permanent quality assurance, and high-quality results.
We train your employees in all topics relating to the information life cycle, either during the seminars regularly on offer at kothes academy or during individual in-house seminars specially tailored to your company's needs.
Smooth procedures and functioning processes are essential to the success of any business. That is why it is important to coordinate the various actors and departments, particularly for projects involving different parts of the information life cycle.
Quality assurance measures make for user-friendly content and high-quality data, while also providing a basis for the continuous training of everyone involved in the process.
Without capable IT structures, there is no information life cycle. Our expert teams find the right solutions for your business – from standard applications to integrated system landscapes.
Manufacturers of technical products are responsible for ensuring the safety of their products. CE product safety requirements and various standards provide a range of regulations that define minimum requirements for product safety, as well as requirements for internal certification documentation.
When it comes to preparing information to suit specific audiences, visualisation plays an essential role. Good visual assistance helps users absorb and understand information quickly, enabling them to act competently.
Technical editorial work is the process of converting raw information from development systems, design documents, and the heads of Subject Matter Experts into information that is useful to users. Information is researched, filtered, prepared according to didactic principles, phrased in a user-friendly way, recorded in a media-neutral fashion and then saved in reusable form.

Consistent terminology is the foundation for comprehensible content. It also offers many other advantages.
Publication is a central factor in the information life cycle; after all, the best information is useless if it does not reach its target audience.
Analysing user behaviour provides valuable insights into content and product optimisation. Electronic feedback channels allow these data to be obtained and analysed quickly.
Business process outsourcing is a profitable combination of process optimisation and the outsourcing of specific, clearly defined tasks to third parties. Unlike traditional outsourcing, business process outsourcing aims to optimise processes, which as a rule reduces costs or improves performance. We can outsource partial processes or everything involved in the smart information life cycle.
Virtually all producing companies require some form of technical documentation. Our list of references features customers of various sizes and from widely different industries. They are increasingly joined by businesses that, as well as calling on us for editorial services, are very interested in our information concepts.

The threats from North Korea and limited number of policy advancements from the current administration have made some investors worried about the state of the stock market. Yet despite these factors, the 3rd quarter of 2017 has been solid, and we expect this to continue through the end of the year.
Investors who practice a globally diversified approach are being yielded some great results. This has always been our policy at Sloy, Dahl & Holst– even from 2010 to 2016 when nearly all international equity markets remained stagnant. The result is a better long-term reward, proving it does pay to be patient!
There were many great trends in the stock market this last quarter. Valuations remained fairly high, yet labor markets continued to tighten. Signs of wage growth were more apparent, and consumer and business confidence was noticeably high. Across the board, interest rates are at rock-bottom levels.
Overall, the 3rd quarter was highly successful. Those "all time high" headlines should continue over the next three months, ending the year on a good note.
We hope you enjoy the rest of the year and have a great holiday season. Please let us know if you have questions or if we can be of any help.
After two straight down weeks for the S&P 500, along with two triple digit down days for the Dow, some tech sector investors are concerned. Normally, these dips wouldn't be a big deal, but there's also been so little volatility.
Even so, volatility appears to be picking back up. So what course of action should investors take?
According to Paul Meeks, CIO and portfolio manager for Sloy, Dahl & Holst, there doesn't seem to be any glaringly obvious technology buys or sells right now. In general, Meeks says he likes to focus on leadership names, and companies that are doing well.
For the technology sector, that means Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. Meeks recommends that investors of these stock initiate positions or slightly add to them. However, there's no need to make any aggressive moves.
In the market for some cloud stock advice? Our very own CIO, Paul Meeks, recently discussed this unique tech sector with the trading team on CNBC. Meeks has some interesting advice to give on the topic, particularly when it comes to which companies investors should be looking at. According to Meeks, those companies are Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.
Of all three companies, Amazon is the one that stands out from the rest as the most successful. The gap between Amazon and the other two businesses is wide and, according to Paul, this gap will likely remain for the time being.
Even with this momentum, Amazon investors should remain cautious. The company is set to soon become a four-figure stock. Paul notes that, regardless of whether this company is weighted heavily in your portfolio, it might be wise to cut back on this one a bit.
Tech investors should keep Microsoft Azure on their radar and look for a switch in profitability. Especially when it comes to their international business. This side of their company is still losing money, but the company does expect recent investments in India to soon pay off. Investors should keep these changes in mind and look for a change in momentum when it comes to this business.
Thanks to the push of Google Cloud by Diane Green, Paul expects positive things in this company's future. Again, the key is to keep an eye on profitability and look at valuation.
One method for looking at valuation is to use a price/earnings to growth ratio. Paul also recommends looking at a company's growth and positioning in relation to its total available market.

Children in Pre-Nursery are active movers and are filled with curiosity about the big world around them. At this level, we provide children opportunities to develop self-help and self-regulation skills to foster a greater sense of autonomy and confidence. This includes toilet training, dressing and more. Our Pre-Nursery Programme promotes developing relationships among peers and educators. It also includes concrete and hands-on experiences for improved cognitive development. Children will be actively exploring their interests in both academics and the arts.
As children's overall development start to progress rapidly from Nursery level, we provide a wide range of activities that expose them to the various learning domains. At this stage, we introduce Rigby Star Phonics for early literacy skills, and Stepping Stones for early numeracy skills. These provide the basis for language, mathematical, science, arts and social emotional development, which prepares them for successful learning experiences in the rest of the preschool years.
Approaching Kindergarten 1, children's ability to learn, grasp and apply concepts indepthly heighten. They seek to be competent in tasks and are aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Friendships become very important to them too. Our Kindergarten 1 programme capitalises on the developmental growth whereby more complex concepts and skills are introduced. Educators also support children to develop and maintain friendships respectfully.
Kindergarten 2 is usually the most memorable year for children. They are more mature, aware and capable of achieving. Our programme is designed to stretch every child's potential and prepare them for their next phase of education, primary school. An equal emphasis is made on academics, arts, social and emotional skills, self-help skills, confidence and classroom behaviour to provide a smooth transition to primary school.
NAFA Arts Preschool offers full-day, half-day and 4-hour programmes for children aged 2 to 6 years old.

Q: Build Fat Jar isn't appearing in Eclipse Mars.1 Due to a random error I encountered in Eclipse a few weeks ago, I had to reinstall it.  Prior to the reinstall I was using Juno and had added the build fat jar plugin. Since the reinstall, I've added the plug-in back into the plugin directory, and I've ran Eclipse with the -clean argument, but it still does not show up when I right click on a project.
I'm not really sure how to proceed from here. Is there somewhere in Eclipse that I need to enable it?  Or perhaps somewhere I can at least see what Eclipse has successfully loaded?
