This Christmas I'm planning to visit the Las Vegas.
Can I apply for a B1/B2 visa with traveling purpose (without business purpose)? I've already completed a DS-160 application form and chose B1/B2 type. Is it mandatory to tell both business and pleasure plan?

    The slash means it's good for both, not that you must do both.

You should apply for a B2 visa if you are only going for pleasure. However, they will almost certainly still give you a B1/B2 visa.

    "You should apply for a B-2 visa if you are only going for pleasure": If someone chooses B-1/B-2 without having a business purpose, will that hurt their application? Should TomooMGL try to modify the "already completed DS-160 application form"?

How can temperature be calculated given relative humidity and dew point?

How can temperature be calculated given relative humidity and dew point? While looking into the better indicator of how miserable it feels outside, either dew point or relative humidity, I came across this statement: The optimum combination for human comfort is a dewpoint of about 60 F and a RH of between 50 and 70% (this would put the temperature at about 75 F). Source: http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints/190/ This led me to this calculator that will calculate the temperature given relative humidity and dew point - for example a dew point of 70 degrees F and a relative humidity of 90% results in a temperature of 73.11 degrees F. The web site for this calculator says the values are based on the August-Roche-Magnus approximation and gives the following equation to calculate temperature: $T =243.04 Large fracfrac17.625 TD243.04+TD-lnleft(fracRH100right)17.625+lnleft(fracRH100right)- frac17.625 TD243.04+TD$ Given the equation I'm still having a hard time figuring out...

Avoiding race conditions in Kotlin, Smartcast is impossible runtime exception

Avoiding race conditions in Kotlin, Smartcast is impossible runtime exception The line: viewAdapter.setTitleData(bezinningModels) in the below snippet is giving me the runtime warning: Smart cast to 'BezinningAdapter' is impossible, because 'viewAdapter' is a mutable property that could have been changed by this time I went through a lot of posts with a similar runtime warning, and I understood why this happens. Basically Kotlin wants to avoid race conditions so that the value of a mutable object could not change,but still I do not get what I should do to avoid this mistake so that I can call the retrofit call into the RecyclerView Array I tried to change from var to val the value of RecyclerView but did not work RecyclerView Array var val RecyclerView Here the snippet that causes the problem: @RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) class MainFragment : android.app.Fragment() private lateinit var viewManager: RecyclerView.LayoutManager private lateinit var...
