I am a Ghanian citizen. The evidence I provided in support of my UK visa application is: a letter from my employer, wage slips from my company, bank statements, the person who invited me provided his utility bills, invitation letter, and a bank statement. The refusal is  as follows:  Firstly, on your application form, you stated that you wish to visit your friend and they will maintain and accommodate you. I have recognized the importance of family visits and have carefully considered your application; however, the documents that you have presented to me do not establish that your sponsor is able to undertake such responsibility. For example, you have failed to provide sufficient satisfactory evidence of adequate accommodation available to you. Furthermore, you have also failed to provide satisfactory evidence of sponsor income, employment or financial and personal commitment.  Given the above, I am not satisfied that you will be adequately maintained and accommodated in the United Kingdom or that you can meet the cost of your return or onward journey. The Second reason is that you have stated that you spend xxx per month on a living cost living costs and supporting your family leaving you with a disposable income of xxx.  You stated that the cost to you personally of your visit is xxx.  This amount is 7 times your monthly income once family and living costs have been deducted and I am not satisfied this is credible considering your personal and financial circumstances. Lastly in light of all of the above I am not satisfied as to your intentions in wishing to travel to the United Kingdom and will leave the UK at the end of your visit.  Furthermore, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient funds available to cover your costs whilst in the UK without working or accessing public funds.  your application for a visit visa has been refused under paragraph V4.2 (a) (e).  How can I re-apply for a visa?
The UK Visas and Immigration Directorate publishes  that provides helpful tips that can result in successful visa applications. Section 2 of this guidance opens is entitled &quot;other documents you may want to provide&quot; (emphasis mine).  Section 2: other documents you may want to provide – all visitors This section provides guidance on the types of documents that you may want to provide to help us consider your application against the Immigration Rules. Previous travel documents/passports, which show previous travel. Financial documents showing that you have sufficient funds available.  These must clearly show that you have access to the funds, such as:  bank statements building society book proof of earnings such as a letter from employer confirming employment details (start date of employment, salary, role, company contact details) where a third party (who is either in the UK or will be legally in the UK at the time of your visit) is providing financial support to you e.g. a business, a friend or a relative, documents to show that they have sufficient resources to support you in addition to themselves and any dependant family should be provided   The first item is &quot;bank statements&quot; and this ties in with the , which says...  evidence that you can support yourself during your trip, eg bank statements or payslips from the last 6 months  (Note 'eg' is a Latin abbreviation meaning &quot;for example&quot;; this appears to be optional rather than a fixed requirement.) Question: How should someone interpret this such that the chances of success are maximized? How many statements should I submit? What are they looking for and what do my bank statements tell about me?
Coordinating conjunction immediately followed by parenthetical — Is a comma needed or not? states:     If a dependent clause, or an introductory phrase requiring to be set off by a comma, precedes the second independent clause, no comma is needed after the conjunction.   Strunk's example illustrates the point:     The situation is perilous, but if we are prepared to act promptly, there is still one chance of escape.   However, I would be tempted to put a comma after the "but," like this:     The situation is perilous, but, if we are prepared to act promptly, there is still one chance of escape.   So, I know you're thinking, "Well, Strunk's Rules of Usage says that you're wrong. No comma."   But is Rules of Usage really the best source? I'd like to see this rule in a more contemporary and authoritative source, like the Chicago Manual of Style.  There are many instances —  — where the comma is included before a parenthetical comment that comes after a coordinating conjunction.  Any authoritative source on the issue? Does the plastic cap on a Presta valve serve any purpose once fitted to a rim? I can see the use of the valve cap on a Presta valve when the tube is still packaged (it obviously stops the valve puncturing the tube), but does it do anything except look pretty (or not) once you've fitted the tube to a rim?  I've kept them on out of habit, because I've had problems with sticking Schrader valves in the past when I've lost the caps and dirt/grime has got in there - but the design of Presta valves suggests to me that they wouldn't suffer this fate.  Given that I really need to , is replacing this cap something I can leave out of my daily chores? Is there any software package to solve the linear regression with the objective of minimizing the L-infinity norm. C# - Keyword usage virtual+override vs. new What are differences between declaring a method in a base type "virtual" and then overriding it in a child type using the "override" keyword as opposed to simply using the "new" keyword when declaring the matching method in the child type?

I know that there is a precise solution of the equations:  \begin{align}     x + a &amp; = 0 \\     x^2 + a\cdot x + b &amp; = 0 \\     x^3 + a\cdot x^2 + b\cdot x + c &amp; = 0 \\     x^4 + a\cdot x^3 + b\cdot x^2 + c\cdot x + d &amp; = 0 \end{align}  Why there is no solutions for equation of degree $\ge 5$?

I am trying to get a little into statistics, but I am stuck with something.  My data are as follows:  Year   Number_of_genes 1990          1 1991          1 1993          3 1995          4   I now want to build a regression model to be able to predict the number of genes for any given year based on the data. I did it with linear regression until now, but I have done some reading and it does not seem to be the best choice for this kind of data. I have read that Poisson regression might be useful, but I am unsure what to use. So my question is:  Is there a general regression model for this kind of data? If no, what do I have to do to find out which method is the most  appropriate to use ( in terms of what I have to find out about the data)? Continuity $\Rightarrow$ Intermediate Value Property. Why is the opposite not true? Continuity $\Rightarrow$ Intermediate Value Property. Why is the opposite not true?    It seems to me like they are equal definitions in a way.

Is there an easy way to check a notebook's hardware compatibility with ubuntu before you buy it?  I really don't want to buy a notebook home and find several bugs caused by the hardware.  I know that DELL has some notebooks which are pre-installed ubuntu12.04LTS, i.e. the new xps. But what about other notebooks? isn't there a way to quickly check a notebook's compatibility with ubuntu?  A way I can see is using a LiveCD/ubuntu stick and boot in ubuntu first, then run some tests. But the problem is: how to make these tests in a short time automatically??? and how can I check the hardware compatibility? I know that I can use lshw or hardinfo to get informations, but only having the information is not enough, there are still some possibilities that your hardware has a bug. For instance, Lenovo T410i's wireless driver has a bug which causes extremely low speed internet connection, I googled a lot and recompiled the driver to fix that bug. So this is the kind of situation I'm trying to avoid.  Any help is appreciated. Can I charge a computer through its USB port?
