I have a friend in Moscow who has paid for her trip to Australia.She has claimed that 2700 USD is required by the authorities (30 USD / day for a 90 day tourist visa) to support herself.  Now she wants to borrow this money from me. Is the proof of funds a legitimate requirement for Russian citizens? She claims to have gone through an agency.
My girlfriend is Russian. Last night we tried to fly her to the US on a valid tourist visa. She was stopped at DME and told she would be required to have $2700 USD to get back home immediately even though she had a return ticket. She said this was an "unwritten" rule because of the nonsense i keep seeing on CNN , Anybody else know anything? She is literally trapped and scared to death.
When is it correct to use "yourself" and "myself" (versus "you" and "me")? find the measure of $AMC$ if $M$ is the midpoint of $BC$ then find the measure of $AMC$.    I tried to use the angles to find $AMC$ but I don't know how to use that $M$ is the midpoint of $BC$. I tried different options to enable hibernate in Ubuntu 20.04 but nothing is working. How can I enable hibernate option in Ubuntu 20.04? On my work computer I have two USB hard drives that I use rarely. They have a power save mode that sends them into sleep after a couple of minutes of them being idle.   Whenever I open a context menu on a file, the drives are woken up (most likely caused by the "send to" handler).  So I eject the drive, but I can't find a way to get it back, other than unplugging and replugging it in.  Is there a way to unmount the drives, and then remount them only when I actually need them? (On Windows 7 Ultimate.) How do I reset my Unity configuration? I've been messing around with Unity and broke something, how do I "start over"? How to interleave the lines of two or more files? I have tried to get the 2 files output in a single file.  I have tried below command:  cat file1 file2   but here file2 data is appending to file1.  What I need is file1 1st line followed by file2 first line, and file1 second line followed by file2 second line etc.  Can anybody tell me how to do this in a simple way? What's using up my disk space? My Vista 64 installation has drive C, a 150 GB hard drive.  I also has a 1.5 TB drive D.  My C drive has 12.3 GB free.  I don't know what's using up all the space.  There's almost 83 GB unaccounted for!!!  As per  question and  question, I downloaded  and .  WinDirStat, once I found the right options, tells me there's 82.9 GB of .  SpaceMonger, which has a particularly nice display of the data, tells me there's 82.3 GB "Unscanned", with 2 unscannable folders.  Where do I turn now?  Both tools roughly agree there's a large amount of data on my drive, but neither seem to be able to tell me what.  I've tried the standard approach; disk cleanup, remove hibernation file, set the virtual memory to the D drive instead of the C drive. Compactness of $A:=${$f \in C[0,1], |f|_\infty \le K, |f'|_\infty \le M$} Here we use infinity norm as metrics for $C[0,1]$. The professor claims that this set is compact. I can show this set is relative compact by Arzela Ascoli, i.e., for each subsequence there is a further sub-subsequence that uniformly converges to a continuous function on $[0,1]$. But it is not intuitive to me why this set is compact, i.e. the limiting function also satisfies $|f'|_\infty \le M$. Is it true that $A$ is close and therefore compact? What happened to the idea of getting inbox notifications for favorited questions? Inferring father/son relationships from Senior (Sr.) / Junior (Jr.) naming? As in my other questions, I am investigating the spread of the Blackstone family name in early America. I came across the following tidbits and I would like to know if my interpretation is (likely to be) correct.  In the "All Kent County, Delaware Probate Records, 1680-1800" collection on ancestry.com, we have the following items.   In 1792, there was a will executed by Eben Blackiston, Sr. In 1794, there was a will executed by Ebenezer Blackiston, Jr. (and Abraham Redgrave).   My question is simple.  Is this enough evidence to reasonably conclude that there was a father/son combo of Ebenezer Blackistons living in Kent County, Delaware during the 1790s?  This would be an interesting result for me as my current research only has two people by this name in the state at the time, and none of them were part of a Jr./Sr. combination.  If this is not enough evidence, what are some other possibilities I need to consider? Prove or disprove: If H is a normal subgroup of G such that H and G/H are abelian, then G is abelian. it seems like it... should be? In that I can't think of any counterexamples off the top of my head. I was looking up these  and saw the quaternion group, but the subgroups of the quaternion group aren't abelian... Can I cast a spell while another spell or ability is resolving? My opponent has a  with scads of loyalty. I've got a  and a  on the battlefield.  He activates Sorin's "ultimate" ability, targeting Gideon.     -6: Destroy up to three target creatures and/or other planeswalkers. Return each card put into a graveyard this way to the battlefield under your control.   Is there any way I can use the Spellbomb to prevent my opponent from stealing Gideon after he is sent to my graveyard? Take the square $[0,1]^2$ we take $n$ random lines through the square. You can choose random lines by choosing a point on one of the sides of the squares and randomly choosing a different point on any of the other three sides and then drawing a line connecting them.   What is the probability that after $n$ of these random lines the largest region is greater than or equal to $0.5$?  Any tips or cases help, thanks. dist$(x,A)=0$ if and only if $x\in \overline{A}$ (closure of $A$) My 8 year old son won't fall asleep We put him to bed at 9pm and he stays up til 1am or later. When I go to check on him he is always playing with his hands and sometimes talking. I ask him why he is awake and not trying to sleep and he says it's because he just wants to play. He never comes to tell us that he is having a hard time sleeping or that there is anything wrong. The weird thing is that he used to be the first one to fall asleep out of 3 boys and the staying up started a few months ago. He does this every night and on top of keeping us awake, he is now waking up his brothers.   About a month or so ago, we decided to punish him by grounding him from video games. He doesn't want to be grounded, but he still keeps doing it. Nothing we do seems to be helping and it seems to be getting worse. I have talked to him about why it is so important to get enough sleep and why it's even more important for kids. He also gets plenty of exercise and time to play during the day.   I'm really starting to wonder if he is doing it just to be defiant. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.  The problem is that he is being disruptive to everyone in the house and it has been EVERY night for the last 3 months.   He is tired and emotional during the day, and it is causing his brothers to be tired during the day while they are at school.   Because he is tired during the day he doesn't really want to be as active as he used to be. However, I do still encourage him to be active. We have always had a bedtime routine. We have asked him many different times if he is just having trouble sleeping, if he is uncomfortable, and if there is something wrong. He always tells us that he just wants to play.   At the beginning of all this he told me that he wants to be the one to decide when he goes to sleep and when he wakes up. Which is why I would even ask if it was out of defiance.   We really didn't want to get to the point of punishing him, but nothing else seemed to help and it was only after he started keeping his brothers awake.   It's not like we haven't asked him what he thinks would help or what would help him sleep better. He ALWAYS says that he just WANTS to stay up and play because it is fun. We know it is important for him to get enough sleep, and I'm worried because I don't think he is (and he's preventing the rest of us from getting enough, too). Similar to Lifepod 1993, but not it Why use coherent state path integral? What is its motivation or goal? In almost all textbooks of quantum field theory for high energy, they insert the position and momentum eigenstate to formulate the path integral. While in condensed matter field theory, they insert the coherent state to get the path integral. What's the motivation or goal to use the latter instead of the former? Prove the map has a fixed point Assume $K$ is a compact metric space with metric $\rho$ and $A$ is a map from $K$ to $K$ such that $\rho (Ax,Ay) &lt; \rho(x,y)$ for $x\neq y$. Prove A have a unique fixed point in $K$.  The uniqueness is easy. My problem is to show that there a exist fixed point. $K$ is compact, so every sequence has convergent subsequence. Construct a sequence ${x_n}$ by $x_{n+1}=Ax_{n}$,$\{x_n\}$ has a convergent subsequence $\{ x_{n_k}\}$, but how to show there is a fixed point using $\rho (Ax,Ay) &lt; \rho(x,y)$? Currently, Stack Exchange’s Markdown parser only allows four-space indents to represent code blocks:      // some code     // another line of code    and other Markdown implementations allow for an alternative syntax, that doesn’t require indenting each code line:  ``` // some code // another line of code ```   This is much more convenient to type out. It would be super useful if Stack Exchange could support this syntax.    By extension, this syntax also allow you to specify the source language right after the opening ```:  ```js // some code // another line of code ```   …which would then enable syntax highlighting for that specific language. Although it’s interesting metadata, I don’t think this feature is needed on Stack Overflow, as the syntax highlighting library works pretty well for various languages.  So, even if you would allow this syntax but ignore the ```language, this would greatly improve my productivity on Stack Exchange.  What do you think?  The moderators are currently collecting feedback regarding this feature, so please post a comment with your thoughts. Good idea? Bad idea? Don’t really care? What do you think are the benefits/drawbacks? Experiences? Let them know! Thanks! Why does Calculate button remain gray in Group Stats Plugin for QGIS? In my case I failed to use  plugin (2.0.30) with QGIS 2.14.11 and 2.18.3 on windows64.  Tested on several datasets: points, polygons, and csv.- But I am not sure what I have missed.
