I'm a doctor doing my internship now and it will finish by the end of February. I will be jobless till applying for residency in May and I'm planning to sit for PLAB 2 examination and travel to the UK in April.  Can I apply for visa (Standard Visitor) during my internship in February, or will my application have a high probability of being refused, as I won't be employed by the time I will be in the UK?  What documents can support me?
I am a medical doctor in Pakistan. I have been on a career break to allow myself to study full time for the IELTS exam (from which I recently got the required band score) and PLAB 1. I have now registered and paid for the PLAB 1 exam in UK for June 2016, as the next sitting in Pakistan is in November 2016 and I feel like I am ready to do the exam sooner.  Due to having no current employment, my savings are limited (around 25,000 Pakistani Rupees) but I live with my parents and do not have any financial commitments at home.  My savings have depleted in the past ten months whilst I have taken a career break and the money has been used for my own personal expenses. My trip to the UK is being funded by my grandfather who is a British citizen. He is a retired doctor with a good NHS pension. He has provided me with:   6 months bank statements which clearly show his pension deposits   Letter from NHS Pensions stating his pension   Sponsorship letter stating that he will pay for my PLAB exam fee, travel, accommodation and subsistinence costs whilst in the UK   Copy of British passport  Document confirming that he owns the house he lives in mortgage-free Confirmation email from GMC stating he has paid the PLAB exam fee.   Without large personal savings and no current job (but I have job offers now) would my application be rejected or is the strong sponsorship going to be good enough?  Are there any other documents I should consider submitting that may help me get a visa?
Inside the alley I found myself cornered by unpleasant sights: walls covered with cracks and peeling paint, storm drains clogged with moss, dumpsters overflowing with bags, cans, and rotten trash.

Inside the alley I found myself cornered by unpleasant sights. Walls covered with cracks and peeling paint. Storm drains clogged with moss. Dumpsters overflowing with bags, cans, and rotten trash.  Or maybe the three of them are orthographically correct in their respective contexts? EDIT (based on dockeryZ's answer): I think second example is right, regardless of the context. Explanation: . Why does $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{{\sin(k)}}{k}={\frac{\pi-1}{2}}$? Inspired by  (and far more straightforward, I am guessing), Mathematica tells us that $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\dfrac{{\sin(k)}}{k}$$ converges to $\dfrac{\pi-1}{2}$.   Presumably, this can be derived from the similarity of the Leibniz expansion of $\pi$ $$4\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\dfrac{(-1)^{k+1}}{2k-1}$$to the expansion of $\sin(x)$ as $$\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\dfrac{(-1)^k}{(2k+1)!}x^{2k+1},$$ but I can't see how...  Could someone please explain how $\dfrac{\pi-1}{2}$ is arrived at? How do I set a featured image (thumbnail) by image URL when using wp_insert_post()? While looking through the , I noticed that there's no parameter in the array it requires which will allow me to set the 'Featured Image' for a post, displayed as the  in my theme.   I have looked into functions like , as suggested by Mr. Bennett, but this seems to be a relatively new addition to WordPress itself and the WordPress codex. As such, there aren't any sources that I can find which explain how the $thumbnail_id parameter should be acquired and supplied. If this really is the function to use, in what way could I provide it with a valid $thumbnail_id parameter when all I have is an image URL?  Thanks in advance! How to change the shadow color in Blender Cycles? I want to change the color of the shadow casting by a cube to green. While it's very easy to do it in Blender Internal (you select the lamp, go to the Lamp data header and change the shadow's color in the Shadow panel) in Cycles there're no such options. How to achieve it in Cycles? Clip vector on Geoprocesing QGIS 2.18.13, global name 'features' is not defined I want to clip a vector polygon with a boundary vector polygon but the process is failing.

The listed advantages of this fare are:  Rebooking possible plus fare difference Refundable except 70 EUR plus fare difference  What does the &quot;plus fare difference&quot; mean? Imagine I buy a ticket for 200 €. Later I decide to cancel. They keep 70 Euro, so I get 130€ back. What's with the fare difference? Fare difference to what? As a comparison, the &quot;Economy classic&quot; states:  Rebooking: 70 EUR plus fare difference Refund not possible What do you call a person that won’t act? What would you call a person that just stands by and won't act? Is kind of acting like a spectator when in reality that person should do something?  I know there is a word for this because I knew what it was a few hours ago but now I can’t remember it. Creating a responsive menu system for a site with a lot of content I am currently creating a website which has a lot of content - text. For this I need a serious menu structure with 5-10 menu items per menu and at least 15 menu-blocks per main menu item.   Further it has to be accessible via mobile.   Till now I have used panels and added menus inside the panels. But mobile isn't to happy about that and the list-names in the menus overlap the content.   How would you go about solving this issue?

LCM is associative: $\ \text{lcm}(\text{lcm}(a,b),c)=\text{lcm}(a,\text{lcm}(b,c))$ Definition: The least common multiple of $a.b\in\Bbb{Z}$ is the smallest  $k\in\Bbb{N}$ that is divisible by both a and b.         Proposition: $\text{lcm}(\text{lcm}(a,b),c)=\text{lcm}(a,\text{lcm}(b,c))\tag{2}$    Proof: We want to show $\text{lcm}(\text{lcm}(a,b),c)\mid\text{lcm}(a,\text{lcm}(b,c))$ and $\text{lcm}(a,\text{lcm}(b,c))\mid \text{lcm}(\text{lcm}(a,b),c)$ such that $\text{lcm}(\text{lcm}(a,b),c)=\text{lcm}(a,\text{lcm}(b,c))$.  Let $k=\text{lcm}(\text{lcm}(a,b),c)$, then $c\mid k$ and $\text{lcm}(a,b)\mid k$, but if we let $l=\text{lcm}(a,b)$, then $a\mid l\,\,\text{and}\,\, b\mid l$. Therefore $c\mid k\,\,,a\mid k\,\,\text{and}\,\, b\mid k$, but then $\text{lcm}(b,c)\mid k$. Thus $\text{lcm}(a,\text{lcm}(b,c))\mid k$      Question: Does this makes sense, ifso can I do the same for $\text{lcm}(\text{lcm}(a,b),c)\mid \text{lcm}(a,\text{lcm}(b,c))$? What would you call a word that doesn't exist in or translate well into another language? I've run into this situation several times, being a native Spanish speaker.   There are some words you just can't translate into another language. Is there a particular word to describe this?  I'm not refering to idioms.  Also, if its a noun, people tend to use them by surrounding them in quotes. Is this appropiate?  Example:     I arrived at around 5 pm and had some quesadillas.   Edit:  I also meant to cover words that exist in English, but cannot be translated into another language.   Example:      There isn't a word for "drive-thru" in your language.

Presumably after an update, google chrome has very serious problems with page rendering. I want to downgrade it.
