I applied for a UK Standard Visitor visa for on 23rd August 2018 at the visa application centre in Mumbai. On the same day, I got an SMS saying The visa application for [GWF reference number] was forwarded to UKVI on 8/23/2018.   I have applied for non-settlement visa that is supposed to be processed within 15 working days. Four of my colleagues applied at the same time and were issed a visa on 8th Sep 2018.   Today I received this notice by email:     NOTIFICATION LETTER TO ADVISE THAT APPLICATION MAY NOT BE PROCESSED WITHIN SERVICE STANDARDS      Your Reference:   UKVI /  GWF      12/09/2018       Dear    Thank you for your UK visa application which has been received and is under consideration.  We aim to process applications:         Non-settlement within 15 working days    Priority Visas within 5 working days    Settlement within 60 working days.

After how many days later you got the visa? Is it sign of refusal?
On August 5, 41 days ago, I submitted an application for a UK visitor visa. This is the third time I have applied. The only notice I have received so far says this: "Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward. This means that we will be unable to make a decision within our published customer service standards." What should I do?
Cleaning my Macbook Pro Retina leaves greasy 'streaks' across the screen I try to clean my mid-2015 Macbook Pro with Retina display by wiping the screen with a damp cloth and then immediately drying.  However, there seems to be left some residue/streak marks, which look very oily. Sometimes these disappear after a few minutes, but they are still very unsightly, and a bit worrying (is there something wrong with my screen?)  I'm wondering if there are other cleaning techniques which avoid this issue, or whether this is completely normal behaviour.  Thank you! How to I stop a launchd script from running on wake I have a simple launchd script that plays a sound every 30 minutes and it runs out of the user library ~/Library . It doesn't run if my machine is asleep, but does run the last event missed when the machine wakes. I think this is the expected behavior. My question is, how do I stop this happening. If I missed the half-hour event, I don't want it to be run at 20 minutes past the hour.  Here's the core of my script. It calls a Python script. I tried to put a block in the python script to check that I am within a few minutes of each 30 minutes, but that doesn't seem to work on wake. (Is it missing the system clock somehow?)  &lt;key&gt;ProgramArguments&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt;     &lt;string&gt;/usr/local/bin/python3&lt;/string&gt;     &lt;string&gt;/Users/pheon/Documents/playsound.py&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt;  &lt;key&gt;StartCalendarInterval&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt;     &lt;dict&gt;         &lt;key&gt;Minute&lt;/key&gt;         &lt;integer&gt;0&lt;/integer&gt;     &lt;dict&gt;         &lt;key&gt;Minute&lt;/key&gt;         &lt;integer&gt;30&lt;/integer&gt;     &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/array&gt;   Here is a snippet from the python code which checks the time before playing the sound.  time0 = datetime.datetime.now() if (time0.minute % 30) &lt; 2:     subprocess.run(["/Users/pheon/bin/afplay-vol.sh", "1", bell],check=True) Quotient group $SL(2,\mathbb{R})/SO(2,\mathbb{R})$ I am confused by expressions like $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$, especially if I see something of the sort $SL(2,\mathbb{R})/SO(2,\mathbb{R})$. I don't know what to make of it. I understand what a quotient of a group for an equivalence looks like, but I can't get my head around expressions like above.   Is a quotient like this always a group and what do elements in the set $SL(2,\mathbb{R})/SO(2,\mathbb{R})$ look like? What is a reasonable sample size for correlation analysis for both overall and sub-group analyses? I am running Pearson's correlation on an overall sample of 400 respondents.   When I isolate male and female responses, my sample becomes 220 male responses and 180 female responses.   If I further isolate male and female responses by (say) age groups, some sample sizes become as low as 35 responses (for example, for females over the age of 65).  My question: How good are these sample sizes for correlation analysis? (I am looking at the relationship between income levels and overseas travel.)   (I think this has something to do with margin of error but how does this apply to inferential analysis which is based on probability. I can understand its role in descriptive statistics such as results of a political poll). Word to describe the fear of unknown future How to insert text into a root-owned file using sudo? Does $x^2 - y^2 = 12345678$ (x,y are integers) have any solutions? This question appeared in KVPY online exam held on Nov 5. This equation is the equation of a hyperbola so any solution must be of the form $a\sec(k),a\tan(k)$. So no solutions. Can't install wine from winehq.org on Ubuntu (actually Lubuntu) 18.04 LTS I have followed all the instructions on .  In particular, I have run the following commands: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386  wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key sudo apt-key add winehq.key sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'   The first three of the above seemed to work fine.  However, the last command gives me the following error: Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 5.0.0~bionic) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.  I'm running Lubuntu 18.04.3 on a USB live stick.  (However, if I remember correctly, a couple days ago I got the exact same error on a normal hard disk Lubuntu 18.04.3 installation.) I've read that a lot of people get similar errors.  Unfortunately I haven't found any solutions online that worked. Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks! EDIT:  Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone.  I'll try them out later today. In the mean time, here's something I don't understand.  Ubuntu 18.04 has been around for almost two years now.  In all that time, surely somebody has successfully installed wine, right?  What did they do to get it working? Are nested functions a bad thing in gcc ? How to typeset row operations on augmented matrix I would like to typeset row operations on a augmented matrix, but the "gauss"-package does not seem to support the vertical line just before the last column, any way to do this?  Thanks! How do we define capillary number in 2D (two dimensions) In 3D the capillary number $Ca$ is defined as: $$Ca=\frac{\nu \rho U}{\gamma}$$ where $\nu$ is the kinematic viscosity ($m^2/s$), $U$ is the velocity ($m/s$)and $\gamma$ is the interfacial tension ($N/m$) and $\rho$ is the density in $kg/m^3$ . However in 2D I will have $\rho$ in units of $kg/m^2$ (2D simulation), so how to find capillary number? What is the most efficient way to deep clone an object in JavaScript? What is the most efficient way to clone a JavaScript object? I've seen obj = eval(uneval(o)); being used, but . I've done things like obj = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(o)); but question the efficiency.  I've also seen recursive copying functions with various flaws.  I'm surprised no canonical solution exists. How do you unlock the Dream Suite? How do I build a SOQL query for records in a list of IDs? Can some one correct my soql? I need to export records in data loader like:  WHERE Id IN ('123123123','123123fsdf')   But this following query does not work for me:  SELECT Id, Syndication_Documents__c FROM ContentVersion  WHERE Syndication_Documents__c in : 'a4fa0000000KzbV','a4fa0000000KzbW' How do I batch rename files? I have a few hundred files named hortstu01-01-14 then hortstu01-02-14... Do you get the idea?  Well half of the files are named hortstu_01-03-14 then hortstu_01-04-14.  This messes up sorting the files by name and getting them in the order I'd prefer them to be.  So I'd like to rename the ones without the underscore to hortstu_    Is it possible to do this in a batch operation?  If so how? Why cannot this question with an open bounty be closed? What TV show has kids entering a video game of some sort? I've been searching the entire Internet for this show about 4 teenagers that enter a video game world where they have to fight monsters that looked like insects. Every time they had to enter the world, they'd go down in the sewers and one of the guys had a skateboard, a girl had a scooter and that's what I can remember. There was also one guy that always stayed behind to check their "health" in the game and pull them out in case they took too much damage to avoid them dying inside the game. I don't know if it was animated or not so there's not much to go on at all but hopefully someone might know what show it is? "Your Sites" in Android left sidebar shown in unpredictable order How do i install drush for a drupal site which is on shared hosting? We've tried this a few times. First time we used an old ceramic container and it started sheding on the inside and ruined it. Next time we used a new metal garbage can with one of those super sized 10 gallon zip lock bags as a liner. It went rank very quickly. This could have been due to our packing though. Before we get into this again, what is you recommendation for a good container? I hate the thought of plastics but it seems it might just be the best choice as long as it's made for food storage.
