We are wanting to travel to UK, specifically Scotland. We only plan to get a hotel for 3 days in Edinburgh and then travel around for 3 weeks and get hotel accommodations as we go without a firm travel structure.  In trying to get a UK visa for my green card Filipino wife, do we have to have all accommodations paid for and planned out in advance? If so that would kill the trip for us.  Thank you so much for trying to help this old man.
I am planning to visit London for 6 days from the US. I have given my biometrics and when I was preparing to mail my documents to the UK visa processing center in the US, I used this link from the UK government website to cross-check the documents to be sent to the processing center.     (Guide to supporting documents).  Something that really surprised me was in Section 4 (documents that should NOT be sent along with the package) was hotel bookings and flights bookings.     Section 4: documents you should not send unless specifically requested      This page provides guidance on the types of documents that are not required to consider your application.         hotel bookings   flight bookings      Typically I have always been asked to provide my travel plans, accommodation plans and proof of them. This is the first time that travel plans and accommodation plans are not asked to be sent. What might be the reason behind it? This really confuses me. Any help in clearing my confusion would be greatly welcome.
Better explanation of the common general relativity illustration (stretched sheet of fabric) Does there exist a function such that $\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L$ for all $a \in \mathbb R$ but $f(x)$ is never $L$? Does there exist a function $f:\mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ such that $\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L$ for   all $a \in \mathbb R$ but $f(x) \neq L$ for all $x$?   I found such a function in $\mathbb Q \to \mathbb Q$, where $f(\frac{p}{q})= \text{first p+q digits of }\pi$ satisfies the above condition. However, I have not been able to extend it to reals. So, is such a function possible, and if it is, is there any explicit example preferably related to the above function in rationals?

I was running out of space for Windows 10, so I deleted my Ubuntu partition and then combined the free space and added it to the Windows 10 partition into a single partition (the boot partition was untouched). Now all I get when I turn on my computer is:  Error no such partition. &gt;grub rescue   I have tried rebooting, but it did not work. Is there any way to fix it? My idea is that if i reinstalled Ubuntu it may fix it, but I'm not sure. I don't have a Windows repair disk, and I can't make one, but I do have a 4GB USB flash drive.

Mysql: Select rows from a table that are not in another I'm using retextured snowballs and eggs for the different paintballs for two teams in a paintball map, so I can't replace the eggs with snowballs.  I have tried using /gamerule doMobSpawning false, but that still allows the chickens to spawn. I have also tried using /tp @e[type=Chicken] 0 0 0 on a repeating command block to quietly remove the chicken, but there's still a very noticeable frame where the chicken is visible. /effect @e[type=Chicken] minecraft:invisibility 10 1 false isn't fast enough, either.  I'm not using any plugins or mods.  tl;dr Without snowballs, how can I stop chickens from appearing for even a single frame. Changing "index.php" Within The Address Screen resolution stuck at 1024x768 Why is torque not measured in Joules? Recently, I was doing my homework and I found out that Torque can be calculated using $\tau = rF$. This means the units of torque are Newton meters. Work &amp; Energy are also measured in Newton meters which are Joules.  However, torque isn't a measure of energy. I am really confused as why it isn't measured in Joules.

I have a couple of elderly relatives who have not kept a journal and refuse to write down their "life story." I really would like to know their stories and who they were and who they are. They have their favorite stories that they rehash every time I see them, but I'd like to get more. I have no experience with "interviewing" and am looking for information on how to get their stories. Any websites, books, and or tips\techniques would be greatly appreciated. Shimano Deore front derailleur occasionally sticking I have a question about my front derailleur sticking occasionally.  I've had this bike for a 1.7 years and have ridden it through 2 winters.  It has only been after this last winter that my front derailleur has been sticking on occasion where it's like grit has jammed in somewhere (which I'm sure it is the case).  When I'm on the fly I just knock it with my heel and it will downshift and I can push the shifter hard enough to go back up when I need to.  The first time I decided to overhaul both the front and back ones.  Took them apart, cleaned/degreased, regreased the two back cogs, and used WD-40 professional silicone on the rest of the parts as to not attract more dirt.  Then after about a month it got stuck again, and I couldn't see anything that could be jamming it (while it was still stiff as heck).  Didn't take it apart this time just used a tooth brush and silicone again and it's fine at the moment.  I'm assuming it may be that since that the roads have been grittier/dirtier from the winter with some recent rain and slush that it may just be normal.  I haven't been on the trails yet this year so I know it's not that.  Is this normal, has some kind of bur that I can't see come up and is catching grit?  EDIT:  I should also note that this is a hardtail mtb that I use for trails and winter commuting (a lot of salt and grit on the roads). `du -b` shows different size than `ls`
