Dears,   I have applied for UK visitor visa, this is my second attempt. my first one was refused. HO sent me the refusal letter in an email and I received my passport later. But this time they sent me an email stating the visa application has been concluded and has been sent back to the Visa Application centre. Does this mean I have got the visa, or do they ever send the refusal letter with the passport?  I need this because I have to take the tickets as I have to travel on December 21st if I get the visa. your help is highly appreciated.  I applied in Germany.  Thanks!
I got two mails from the UK embassy in Abu, saying your visa application has been concluded. I'm really confused, did I get the visa or not? What could the possible results be?

I've seen the expression in some company names; for example , .  Is the expression "All things X" a parody of some other popular phrase, or does it have its own meaning? Or is it just a misuse of grammar? Suppose $f:(a,b) \to \mathbb{R} $ satisfy $|f(x) - f(y) | \le M |x-y|^\alpha$ for some  $\alpha &gt;1$ and all $x,y \in (a,b) $. Prove that $f$ is constant on $(a,b)$.   I'm not sure which theorem should I look to prove this question. Can you guys give me a bit of hint? First of all how to prove some function $f(x)$ is constant on $(a,b)$? Just show $f'(x) = 0$? "be accorded someone" or "be accorded to someone"? When the verb accord means "give or grant", should the passive voice be accorded someone or accorded to someone?  I came across several sentences in a book:     The attention accorded husband-wife relations in Muslim teachings thus confirmed the indigenous view of matrimony as a desirable state, with the birth of children considered essential for the full attainment of adulthood.      Similar processes occurred in Daoism, which percolated into Vietnam from southern China but never received the official patronage accorded Confucianism.   Shouldn't it be "accorded to husband-wife relations", as "given to husband-wife relations"? Why do Borg move so poorly (like 50s movie robots)? Minimal polynomial of $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}$ over $\mathbb Q$ I had an example in the book given as follows:        Find the minimal polynomial of $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}$ over $\mathbb Q$ .       Solution:  $~~~~~$$(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3})^2=5+2 \sqrt6$      $(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3})^4=49+20 \sqrt6$       Then $(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3})^4-10(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3})^2+1=0.$       Thus $a=\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}$ satisfies $f(x)=x^4-10x^2+1$ over $\mathbb Q$.       Let $p(x)$ be the minimal polynomial of $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}$ over $\mathbb Q$.Then $(\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}),(-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}),(-\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3})$ are also roots of $p(x).$   So degree of $p(x)$ is atleast $4$.      But $f(a)=0 $ and $f(x) \in \mathbb Q[x] \implies p(x)$ divides $f(x)$ .      So $f(x)$ is minimal polynomial of $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}.$   But I can't get the step  how are $(\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}),(-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}),(-\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3})$ also roots of $p(x).$   Kindly help with this.

I have many DVDs with movies and games, they are getting old and dusty, some of them are damaged. And I have more than 300 GB of general files in my PC. I want to store and preserve all of my data and keep them for a long long time.  I want to know what is the best and more reliable storage media that I should use and... I can buy. I will copy all of my DVDs to a new media and throw all of my DVDs away. It will take a very smaller physical space.  I think that everything that I need to store is currently 800 GB.  I do not like optical discs, because they are fragile and I have lost many CDs and DVDs. Hard drives would be good, but they can suddenly stop working, and it is very expensive to recover data from a broken hard drive.  Other questions: How often will I have to copy the files to a new storage media? Is it good idea to have another copy of each file stored in another storage media?  Edit: If I put all of the movies and games in a HDD, if the HDD stops working, I will lose everything. This is how valuable they are for me: If I lose 10% of them, I will not cry, because I can get new ones, but if I lose 90%, it will be a disaster.  Edit 2: I do not think that that online storage is reliable even if I pay for it, because they may be closed or may get bankrupt. They are not from my country and it would be difficult to get the files back. Proof: How many digits does a number have? $\lfloor \log_{10} n \rfloor +1$ I read recently that you can find the number of digits in a number through the formula $\lfloor \log_{10} n \rfloor +1$ What's the logic behind this rather what's the proof?

In  I found "[The   latest   version    of   this   document   ". There I says: "… lspci is a synonym for cat /proc/pci".  Which isn't the case here, on a Crunchbang 10 system (Debian based). No such directory. I do get the basic idea and, as far as I  know, the content of proc is (mainly) created during runtime. (Wrong?). This made me curious:  Question: Where does lspci gather it's information from? And where is this documented?

The problem is, when I am not looking through the camera I can see that the grid isn't aligned to the camera.    How do you correctly align the grid to this tracked camera? I have set a floor and two points for scale, also clicked setup tracking scene, but this just added cube and plane which were on the grid. What is tail call optimization?
