my niece and nephew apply for family visit and a gave the sponsorship also said i will bare cost they also submit their documents, however they has been refused under V4.2 a,c of appendix V what i can do now.  thank you      do my first cousin have any right to attend my wedding? if have the right is this under human right or not?
Many of the UK visa refusals we see here share a common pattern and the prevailing reasons refer to V 4.2 (a) and (c).    I do understand that, while the applicants may describe very different individual circumstances, there's a consistent pattern and, broadly, fall into specific categories:    Credibility (lifestyle, lack of ties, visit history, lies &amp; omissions) Funding (insufficient funds, provenance of funds, funds parking) Sponsorship (family, friends, employer)   Question: What most commonly triggers a UK visa refusal where V 4.2 (a) and (c) are given as the grounds?  Secondarily: Given that there is a clear pattern, to what extent are these refusals predictable? Does sponsorship make a difference? Is there a set of personal circumstances, however abstract, where a refusal is all but guaranteed? For example, why do those we see here on TSE who sought entry for the PLAB or British Army appear to be refused with a common theme? Is there a uniform shortcoming or is it just discrimination?   PLAB: What is about applications for a visa, for the purpose of sitting the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) exam, that seem to invite refusals. After all, the test is given so that international medical graduates can show that they qualify to practise medicine in the UK. The first part, PLAB 1, can be taken in centres outside of the UK. However, PLAB 2 can be taken only in the UK. Why can't you can't get a visa just to sit the exam, promising that you'll leave immediately after?    British Army: Since Commonwealth citizens are eligible to apply online to join, even those who don't reside in the UK, why is it so difficult to get a visa just to attend an interview to see whether you are suitable? Even with an invitation from the Army, such visa applications seem to be unsuccessful. Isn't a career in the British Army a valid reason?     Lastly:  After such a refusal, what approaches would increase the chance of a successful application?
Probability of lim sup, lim inf for sequence of random variables. Maybe this is extremely simple, but i havent found a specific answer for this online.  For a sequence of independent continuous random variables $X_n$ ,$n=1,2,3,...$ , all with the same probability density function $f(x)&gt;0$ for all real $x$, and a specific real number $b$, what do the following events mean in simple terms and what is the probability of each?  a)$\lim_n\sup\{X_n \gt b\}$ b)$\lim_n\inf\{X_n \gt b\}$ c)$\lim_n\sup\{X_n \le b\}$ d)$\lim_n\inf\{X_n \le b\}$ How to lock compiled Java classes to prevent decompilation? How do I lock compiled Java classes to prevent decompilation?  I know this must be very well discussed topic on the Internet, but I could not come to any conclusion after referring them.  Many people do suggest obfuscator, but they just do renaming of classes, methods, and fields with tough-to-remember character sequences but what about sensitive constant values?  For example, you have developed the encryption and decryption component based on a password based encryption technique. Now in this case, any average Java person can use  to decompile the class file and easily retrieve the password value (defined as constant) as well as  and in turn can decrypt the data by writing small independent program!  Or should such sensitive components be built in native code (for example, VC++) and call them via ? Let $\sim$ denote the equivalence relation on the $n$-sphere $S^n$ defined via   $$ (x_1,\dots,x_n,x_{n+1})\sim(x_1,\dots,x_n,−x_{n+1})\:\text{ for all }\: (x_1,\dots,x_{n+1})\in S^n. $$      Show that the quotient space $S^n/\sim$ is homeomorphic to the $n$-disc $D^n$.   I know that Ii have to show that there exists a bijective function $f: (S^n/\sim) \to D^n$ that is continuous and that the pre-image $f^{-1}$ is continuous as well, but I can't advance from here, any tips? Producing PDF/X compliant document with XeLaTeX Is there a way to transfer thousand of small files faster on Windows 7? I noticed that if I transfer a few large files between two hard drives, it's pretty speedy, at around at least 30&nbsp;MB per second, but if I transfer thousands of files less than 5&nbsp;KB, it is pretty damn too slow.. around 1 to 2&nbsp;MB per second.   Is there a way to speed up the copy/paste process with thousands of small files on Windows 7? Why isn't Force Speed used more often? How can I access shared folders on an Ubuntu host and a Windows XP guest? I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 alongside Windows 7 on my ASUS laptop and I'm new to all of this.   I'm using  the Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit ISO burned onto a CD.  The first time I tried to install it, Ubuntu said it did not detect any other OS, which meant I only had 4 options:   Erase disk and install Ubuntu (I don't want to do this) Encrypt new Ubuntu. Use LVM. Something else.   If I choose the Something else option, it brings me to the partition menu and says that I have 1 disk with free space of 750516Mb (750Gb), but that's not true because I have Windows 7.  I've already read through several questions and people have mentioned that you could only have 4 primary partitions. So I got hold of partition magic and removed my D: and E:, leaving me with primary C: partition and System reserved partition and a lot of unallocated space.  I restarted the laptop several times and booted the CD again and I got exactly the same as I did previously.  How do fix this problem and install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7?

My primary router has trouble extending wifi coverage to some bedrooms in the house so I am planning to add a second router to extend the wifi network using the wired Ethernet ports in one of the areas of poor coverage. Basic layout -   The ISP's router is in my family room downstairs (fiber connection) and the internet connects to the fiber via a box in an upstairs closet.   I purchased and installed an unmanaged Ethernet switch/splitter. In the upstairs closet where all of the Ethernet wires meet, the family room Ethernet cable was plugged into the ISP's box. I disconnected this wire and replaced it with a CAT5 cable running from the ISP's box in the closet to the Ethernet switch's port 1.  I think connected the family room Ethernet cable to port 2 and did the same in order for all the remaining Ethernet cables to various bedrooms.   So far, the switch is working fine.  I have wifi working with internet coming off of the router in the living room so I believe the switch is installed correctly otherwise that wifi should not have internet coming off of the living room jack.   Here is where things go awry - I took my second wifi router and connected the WAN/Yellow port to the Ethernet wall jack in another bedroom.  I then connected a lap top to one of the Ethernet ports on this router and found "no internet" after connecting.  On a whim, I changed the connection so that the router was connected to the Ethernet wall jack in one of the white ports but with the same results.   I don't think this counts as cascading and I don't really need a new network since I do not share the connection with any non-family members.  The router has been reset to factory settings to clear out any old instructions - but I still can't get it to connect to the internet or access the router to change the settings even - it's a netgear and the routerlogin.net will not let me access the router even when I am on the working WIFI for internet and have a cable running from the laptop to the netgear router.   I could use some help - just trying to extend the wifi range and it seems like it should be much less complicated. Tried following instructions in several other posts and they did not work for me - because I cannot access the router to change any settings. JQ (GET ID based on NAME) I get a long list of such arrays  {     "id": "byu6g6c4cjys5mdkg5znh8ju8c",     "create_at": 1511875272294,     "update_at": 1511875272294,     "delete_at": 0,     "display_name": "BMA",     "name": "BMA",     "description": "",     "email": "aleksandar.ivanov@random.com",     "type": "O",     "company_name": "",     "allowed_domains": "",     "invite_id": "gdgz1tbxuinntx1fbr1ax7kehy",     "allow_open_invite": false,     "scheme_id": null   }   I want to get by JQ only the ID where the name is BMA. At the moment I parse " jq -r '.[]["name"]" and I can filter the output from curl by name and I will get "BMA" and also 100 other names, but I need to filter only the ID where name is =BMA. Any ideas? Possible to do a MySQL foreign key to one of two possible tables? Well here's my problem I have three tables; regions, countries, states.  Countries can be inside of regions, states can be inside of regions.  Regions are the top of the food chain.  Now I'm adding a popular_areas table with two columns; region_id and popular_place_id.  Is it possible to make popular_place_id be a foreign key to either countries OR states.  I'm probably going to have to add a popular_place_type column to determine whether the id is describing a country or state either way. Let $f: \Bbb C \to \Bbb C$ be an entire (analytic on the whole plane) function such that exists $\omega_1,\omega_2 \in \mathbb{S}^1$, linearly independent over $\Bbb R$ such that: $$f(z+\omega_1)=f(z)=f(z+\omega_2), \quad \forall\,z\in \Bbb C.$$Prove that $f$ is constant.   The intuition seems clear to me, we have the three vertices of a triangle given by $0$, $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$. All points in the plane are one of the vertices of that triangle under a suitable parallel translation. The constant value will be $f(0)$, fine. Throwing values for $z$ there, I have found that $$f(n\omega_1) = f(\omega_1) = f(0)=f(\omega_2) = f(n\omega_2), \quad \forall\, n \in \Bbb Z.$$  I don't know how to improve the above for, say, rationals (at least). Some another ideas would be:   Checking that $f' \equiv 0$. I don't have a clue of how to do that. Write $w = a\omega_1+b\omega_2$, with $a,b \in \Bbb R$, do stuff and conclude that $f(w) = f(0)$. This approach doesn't seem good, because I only have a weak result with integers above. Finding that $f$ coincides with $f(0)$ on a set with an accumulation point. This seems also bad: the set on with $f$ coincides with $f(0)$ by which I found above is discrete.    Nothing works and this is getting annoying... And I don't see how analyticity comes in there. I'll be very thankful if someone can give me an idea.  (On a side note.. I know that this title is not informative at all. Feel free to edit if you come up with something better.)

My son is 18 months old and still doesn't want to chew and eat solid foods. We have to blend soups and other food into purée for him to accept it. If there is even a slight solid, he will automatically push it out of his mouth with his tongue.  I have had a breakthrough with breakfast where I don't blend as much and leave it a little chunky. He ate it but still pushed chunks of soft banana that were bigger out.  Some of my friends have kids that are 4-5 months younger, who are eating chicken cutlets.  Any ideas or proven methods for getting a child to start eating solids? How can I extract a page range / a part of a PDF? Do you have any idea how to extract a part of a PDF document and save it as PDF? On OS X it is absolutely trivial by using Preview. I tried PDF editor and other programs but to no avail. I would like a program where I select the part that I want and then save it as a PDF file with a simple command like CMD+N on OS X. I want the extracted part to be saved as PDF and not as JPEG, etc. Where to declare environment variables? What are correct places for:   Global environment variables meant to affect all users?
