The XAT answer key 2024 is an important piece of documentation that candidates will require in various stages of their admissions process. There is a lot of vital information provided on the XAT answer key. The XAT 2024 answer key/response sheet includes the following details:
Que: What is the significance of the XAT Answer Key 2024?
Ans: The XAT Answer Key 2024 serves the purpose of providing candidates who took the exam with a provisional solution to the questions posed in the XAT 2024. It includes the correct answers, enabling candidates to estimate their scores and assess their performance in the exam.
Que: How do I calculate my score using the XAT answer key?
Ans: To calculate your score using the XAT answer key, assign one mark for each correct answer. Deduct 0.25 marks for every incorrect answer in part 1. No marks will be subtracted for incorrect answers in part 3. For unanswered questions beyond 8, deduct 0.10 marks for each. Sum up your marks following this pattern and convert the total to percentile.
Aspirants who appear for the XAT 2024 exam must be aware of all the necessary details about the XAT answer key so that they are not confused about it when it is released. Candidates can take a look at the important points to remember related to the XAT answer key mentioned below:
As per the marking scheme of the XAT 2024 exam, a +1 mark is awarded for every correct response, and -0.25 is deducted for every incorrect response. If a candidate has not attempted more than 8 questions, then -.10 is deducted. To calculate the XAT 2024 score, you first need to compare the system-recorded response and the correct answers provided by the panel.
Calculate the total marks you scored from each correct response. Now, deduct the marks from the sum as per the incorrect responses and unattempted questions. This way, you can calculate your XAT score using the answer key and estimate how much percentile you can score in the exam. Here's the formula to calculate the XAT 2024 score.
XAT Score = No. of Correct Answers - No. of Incorrect Answers
A percentile score is a measure used to evaluate a candidate's performance in the XAT exam, relative to the performance of other candidates who took the test at the same time. The percentile score is calculated based on the candidate's raw scores in each section of the exam.
To determine your XAT percentile, you need to first find out your rank in the exam. Your rank refers to the position you secured in the list of all candidates who took the test. Once you know your rank, you then need to divide it by the total number of candidates who sat for the exam. Finally, you need to multiply the outcome by 100 to get your percentile score.
For instance, if you are among the top 10% of candidates who took the XAT exam, your percentile score will be 90. The formula to calculate your XAT percentile score is as follows:
XAT Percentile = Candidate's XAT Rank/ Total Candidates x 100
Candidates can use our XAT 2024 Percentile Predictor to get an estimate of their percentile based on their raw XAT score.
To estimate the probable marks scored in the entrance exam and analyse the XAT answer key 2024, it is important to have a detailed knowledge of the marking scheme of XAT 2024.
For every correct answer, 1 mark is given to the candidate.
For any wrong answer, 0.25 marks are deducted.
0.10 marks will be deducted for more than eight unanswered questions (consecutively).
The General Knowledge section of XAT will have no negative marking.
The scores of the General Knowledge section will not be considered for calculating the XAT score.
Type of Answer
For Correct Answer
For Wrong Answer
For No Answer/Unattempted Question
For 8 Consecutive Unattempted Questions
Candidates who find any discrepancy or any wrong answer in the released XAT answer key 2024 can raise objections against the same before the deadline. They have to produce adequate proof for the raised objection. The period in which the candidates can raise will be updated on the official website of XAT. Here's how to challenge XAT answer key 2024.
After the XAT exam is conducted, the authorities release the provisional answer key, which contains the correct answers to all the questions asked in the exam. Once the provisional answer key is released, candidates can check their responses and compare them with the answers given in the answer key. If any candidate finds any discrepancy or error in the provisional answer key, they can raise objections against it within a given period.
The exam authority will then review all the objections raised by the candidates and assess their validity. If any of the objections are found to be genuine, the XAT 2024 answer key will be revised accordingly, and an updated key will be released. This revised answer key will be the official answer key, which will be used to calculate the final results of the exam.
The final XAT answer key 2024 will be made available for download on the exam website once all the objections have been reviewed. If no objections are deemed to be valid, the XAT 2024 final answer key won't be announced separately, and the results will be calculated using the provisional answer key that was previously made public.
It is important to note that no objections will be entertained against the exam results, which will be based on the XAT 2024 final answer key. Therefore, candidates are advised to carefully review the provisional answer key and raise any objections they may have within the stipulated time frame.
XAT 2024 result will be released in the last week of January 2024, by XLRI Jamshedpur on the official website. Candidates who appeared for the exam will be able to download the scorecard which contains important details like the Date of Examination, Date of the Result Declaration, Name of the Candidate, XAT ID, Date of Birth, Exam Centre Name and Address, XAT 2024 Overall and Sectional Percentile, etc.
After the declaration of the XAT 2024 result, XLRI Jamshedpur will release the XAT cutoff for the academic session. Candidates will be shortlisted for the GD & PI, and WAT rounds based on their performance on the XAT 2024. All XAT participating colleges will conduct the XAT 2024 selection process in February or March 2024.
The XAT 2024 selection process will include essay writing, group discussions, and personal interviews. The institute establishes a minimum cutoff for each category of applicants to the HRM and BM programs, particularly for this purpose. After going through the personality assessment process, candidates are shortlisted for admission offers. Admission offers are sent via email to the selected candidates in May.

Written by IEEE | November 29, 2016
In Paraguay, there are a large number of upper limb amputations due to bad working conditions and motorcycle accidents. Many people are also in the low income category, and they cannot afford the prosthesis. With advanced manufacturing, particularly with the use of 3D printing, a company is able to create sophisticated prosthetics at a low cost.
The company, called PO, has combined 3D printing with a control mechanism to make an arm that can perform specific actions. They teamed up with a company called Myo incorporating their armband that controls the mechanical aspect of the hand. Their armband monitors bioelectric muscle signals and interacts with the prosthetic, allowing a user to grip items and gesture as if the arm was part of their body.
Because the company is using 3D printing to build the hands, the cost of the prosthetic is much lower than a traditional one. Incredibly, they can make 100 3D printed hands for the price of one prosthetic. While there is still a cost associated with fittings and the components, much of the price is covered by private donations. The technology behind the project is opensource so that other people can work to make an innovative product that can help people around the world.

Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometer System Using Wavelength Modulated Source
Meller, Scott A.
MetadataShow full item record
Interferometric optical fiber sensors have proved many orders of magnitude more sensitive than their electrical counterparts, but they suffer from limitations in signal demodulation caused by phase ambiguity and complex fringe counting when the output phase difference exceeds one fringe period. Various signal demodulation methods have been developed to overcome some of the these drawbacks with limited success. This thesis proposes a new measurement system for the extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) sensor. Using a wavelength modulated source and a novel extended-gap EFPI, some of the limitations of interferometric signal demodulation are overcome. By scanning the output wavelength of a multilongitudinal mode laser diode through current modulation, the EFPI sensor signal is scanned through multiple fringes. Gap movement is then unambiguously determined by monitoring the phase of the multiple fringe pattern.

Kurokami sama
What is Kurokami Sama?
It is the name of a ritual as well as of a god.*1
This ritual can be done when you have received unfair treatment, such as bullying and power harrassment*2, from others.
How to do it
1. Pull out a strand of your hair.
2. Holding the strand of your hair in your hand, intone the name of the person you want to get revenge on and what deeds this person has done to you. And say, "May my wrongs be avenged."
3. Go up to a high place like the top of a building, and say "Kurokami sama, please avenge my wrongs," and let go of the strand of the hair.
Make sure you tell no one about the ritual
There was once a girl called K who was being bullied at school. As soon as she performed the ritual, those who were bullying her met with misfortunes one by one; some had their families broken up, some fell victims to incurable disease, and others suffered severe mental breakdown. The bullying to her stopped, but one day K came across another bullying done to another girl, and she taught the girl about Kurokami sama ritual. Right after that, the fortunes of K's bullies gradually began to rise, and instead K's fortune quickly declined. K eventually disappeared. No one knows where she is now.
When is Kurokami sama active?
It is said that Kurokami sama begins to be active around two after midnight to fulfil the wish of those who seek the god's help. Kurokami sama appears in the form of "something that is covered competely by hair." If a "good person" happens to encounter Kurokami sama, it will bring luck to the person, but if a "bad person" encounters Kurokami sama, it will bring misfortune to the person. There has been sporadic reports of sightings of Kurokami sama in Kanto region. *3
*1Kurokami sama - Kuro (黒) means black, kami (髪) means hair and sama is a horonific for someone of a higher rank than yourself or for deities (Wikipedia).

Notsuke Peninsula, Hokkaido
Notsuke Peninsula in Hokkaido is Japan's longest sandspit, extending for 26 km (about 16 miles) in length. Withered pine trees stand all around on the wetland, giving the landscape a bleak and otherworldly appearance.
Todowara, Notsuke Peninsula, aka "The End of the World"
But it is rumoured that on a foggy day, this place truly becomes a gateway of anotherwold.
On such a day, people are warned not to walk towards the direction from which the sound of bells comes, or not to follow after a little girl wearing red dress.

Emergency Shelter
(Translated by Saya)
This is a cryptic story! :)
A certain countryside region was hit by earthquake.
I headed to the nearest elementary school building, which was a designated emeregency shelter, and decided to spend a night in there; but as turned out, it was too crowded and therefore too noisy and too warm.
When I went outside to get some fresh air, I noticed there was another building with the lights out on the same premises.
I walked over to it and went inside. It was cool, quiet and a lot of people were lying down on the floor.
I felt so lucky to have found the place and lay down in the same way as the others to go to sleep. But after a while I realised there was something wrong with the place. It was far too quiet.
I dashed out of the building.

The Suspension Bridge
(Translated by Saya)
This is a true story that really happened to my friend, although he never told me the exact location where it took place.
The incident caused two deaths, and he himself had to be quesitoned by the police over and over again.
I heard the story in question from my friend while we were still at college...
It happened when my friend and his six coworkers at his part-time job went for a drive to a suspension bridge in a certain prefecture in the Chugoku region.*1
They split off and drove separately in two cars.
My friend was the driver of the second car.
In the first car which drove ahead of him, there were the manager and a couple, and in his own car there were the remaining four people including himself.
Although they set off in the morning, due to the many stops they made on the way, the sun was already setting when they arrived at the suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge ran across a deep valley in the middle of a mountain.
As they approached the bridge, it began to drizzle, and fog started swirling around them.
There was an open space in front of the bridge, and if the weather were fine, they would have parked their cars in there and crossed the bridge to the other side on foot and come back.
(The other side of the bridge was a dead end. The bridge was left there for sight-seeing.)
However, the moment they reached the open space, the first car came to an abrupt halt.
"What are they doing...?"
The four people, who were inside the second car which also stopped about 10 metres behind the first car, had no clue as to why the manager stopped his car. For some minutes, those in the second car just sat there looking on.

Full Moon
(Translated by Saya)
The following is the account of my mother's experience...
Five years ago, my mother was working for my father's business partner.
Her boss, the company director, would become very irritable at times, and lose his temper at the slightest provacation.
Someone would tell him, "please make sure you look through these documents," and he would somehow blow up, and start taking his anger on the objects around him, and sometimes even start throwing them around.
One day, my mother was on her way home thinking "he was in a bad mood today too," when she noticed the full moon in the sky.
The same thing happened the following month, and the month after that; and she realised that when her boss became irritable it was invariably on a full moon day.
In time, she started thinking, "I don't want to go to work tomorrow because it's a full moon day."
But the boss died suddenly, and it was not because of illness or an accident. He had seemed perfectly robust and healthy up until the time of his death.
Apparently, he had a heart attack. People conjectured that perhaps he had been working too hard.

Dynamic Substructuring (DS) is a powerful engineering concept to model and analyse dynamic systems in terms of its components or substructures. It derives from the ancient principle of "divide and conquer" ("divide et impera"), which suggests that large problems are most effectively governed by dividing them into smaller parts and choosing the best approach for each. Dynamic Substructuring does just that: it allows to model each component using the most qualityand cost-effective technique and "substructure" their dynamics together. This way, one can simulate the sound and vibration behaviour of the full assembly (the end-product), long before any physical prototype is available.
With Dynamic Substructuring, insights on full-vehicle NVH performance can be obtained much earlier, as already-available components can be measured and substructured to FE models of the rest of the vehicle.

Generally, the screen orientation of any application is Portrait styled. But when it comes to gaming or any other multimedia service such as watching a video, the screen orientation must change functionally from Portrait to landscape or vice-versa when the functionality is not required. So a developer has to explicitly write a program where the orientation changes without the user to invoke it traditionally by switching on and off the rotate/auto-rotate available in the swipe-down menu.
The main focus of changing the screen to landscape mode is to increase the area of action and response, and back to normal when not required. The latter can be neglected if there is a direct exit from the application. So this is not an application, instead, it is a feature, that can be given to any application. Some of the applications are where this feature can be added are:
- Gaming Applications: As previously mentioned. Landscape view gives better accessibility to the screen for touch in Gaming applications.
- Videos Application: Applications broadcasting multimedia such as a video can enable this feature to view the same video by utilizing each screen's pixel.
- Photo Editing Applications: This feature can help the user view the changes and compare two different portions of the image as the display size has now increased.
- Applications requiring multiple user inputs: such as a notepad, or a browser, where a user can read the entire line or paragraphs that are being written or applications.
In this application, we will create this feature and keep it explicit, i.e., a Button should be clicked to make the changes. The code in the latter section of the article is limited to the created application only. Screen Orientation changed inside the application make no changes outside the application, i.e., the orientation outside the application remains the same as previously. Note that we are going to implement this project using the Kotlin language.
Steps for Changing the Screen Orientation Programmatically using a Button
Step 1: Create a New Project
To create a new project in Android Studio please refer to How to Create/Start a New Project in Android Studio. Note that select Kotlin as the programming language.
Step 2: Working with the activity_main.xml file
When the setup is ready, go to the activity_main.xml file, which represents the UI of the project. Create a Button that changes the screen orientation on click. Below is the code for the activity_main.xml file.
Step 3: Working with the MainActivity.kt file
In the MainActivity.kt file, declare the Button to change screen orientation (refer to the codes). While setting the onClickListeners to the Button, orientation request is sent to the ActivityInfo. Below is the code for the MainActivity.kt file. Comments are added inside the code to understand the code in more detail.

Written by Gil Fronsdal and adapted by Evan Kavanagh
- Can include music, flower bearers and flower scattering
- Are there important friends or family members who enter before or with the couple?
- The altar can represent the couple's spiritual values (Buddha, Dharma, Nature, God, Creation, etc.)
- Officiant welcomes everyone and talks about why everyone is gathered. This might be the time for a talk on marriage/commitment and the role of the community in supporting their partnership
Short meditation or period of silence
- Perhaps having people reflect on their wishes and feelings for the couple being joined. Or perhaps doing loving-kindness/metta meditation
Refuges and Precepts
- These are usually done in a Buddhist ceremonyrepeated after the officiant. Some couples will re-write the refuges and precepts in their own language. When something close to the traditional refuges and precepts are used, this is the heart of what makes the ceremony Buddhist
- In a wider sense, this part of the ceremony can be a statement of how the couple intends to live their lives spirituallyby what values
Poetry and song
- Offered by one or both people being married, and/or by friends and family
- This is one way to involve loved ones in the ceremony
Exchange of vows and rings
- Alternatives or additions to exchanging rings could be exchanging malas (Buddhist prayer beads) or Tibetan blessing scarves.
- There are many different opportunities here to make commitments or undertake the Buddhist Precepts together
- Could include statement of undertaking to use relationship as practice to reveal the underlying spiritual qualities of life together
Pronouncement of union
- Officiant pronounces partnership
- Blessings or well wishes from family and friends
- Another opportunity to include community and family
- Might include asking people who have something in their relationship you admire to offer that quality to you as a blessing
Blessing from officiant
- This may include short metta meditation, sprinkling with holy water, blessing cord, etc.
- Other possible elements: chanting, ringing of bells, noisemakers, prayer flags for everyone, etc.
- Provides a concrete ending to the ceremony – especially important if reception is being held in same location
- It is often a good idea to have the couple exit before the guests and, if it is going to be a legal wedding, to immediately go to a private location with witnesses to sign the marriage license (which the couple provides). It could be hard to gather people together and the signing is more anti-climatic later.

Understanding the ecosystem-level effects of stiltgrass: does it set the stage for its own success?
Plant secondary compounds frequently play an important role in plant invasions by influencing interactions between invading plants and other components of the ecosystem including herbivores, soil microbes, and competitors. Microstegium has been documented to have effects on a number of aspects of the ecosystem that are surprising given its physiology and life history, and may point to the presence of unusual secondary chemistry. This talk brings together evidence from the published literature with data from research currently in progress to evaluate the hypothesis that the ecosystem-level effects of Microstegium may be due to its secondary chemistry. First, we show that while Microstegium shows low rates of herbivory compared to co-existing native vegetation, this level of herbivory is not significantly lower than other native grasses. Combined with recent papers showing significant herbivory and fungal pathogens on Microstegium, we conclude that if Microstegium contains secondary compounds, they are insufficient to prevent consumption by native organisms. Secondly we evaluate the effects of leaf extracts of Microstegium on the functioning of soil microbial communities. Consistent with previous studies, we find that Microstegium appears to alter the function of soil communities, but that the effects of secondary chemistry in the leaf leachate seemed to be less important than whole-plant effects. Finally, we follow-up on a recent study showing that leaf-leachate from Microstegium significantly reduces germination in radish seeds by testing the effects of Microstegium on germination rates of tree seedlings. We find that leaf-extracts do have significant effects on the germination and growth rates of some, but not all tree species. We argue that further study of Microstegium's secondary chemistry, including identifying particular chemicals present and determining what factors affect the production of secondary compounds will be a productive route for understanding some of the intriguing ecosystem-level impacts of this invasive species.

text: - We investigate the effects of weakly and strongly stratified turbulent convection on the mean effective Lorentz force, and especially on the mean effective magnetic pressure. Earlier studies with isotropically forced non-stratified and stratified turbulence have shown that the contribution of the turbulence to the mean magnetic pressure is negative for mean horizontal magnetic fields that are smaller than the equipartition strength, so that the effective mean magnetic pressure that takes into account the turbulence effects can be negative. Compared with earlier cases of forced turbulence with an isothermal equation of state, we find that the turbulence effect is similar to or even stronger in the present case of turbulent convection. This is argued to be due to the anisotropy of turbulence in the vertical direction. Another important difference compared with earlier studies is the presence of an evolution equation for the specific entropy. Mean-field modelling with entropy evolution indicates that the negative effective magnetic pressure can still lead to a large-scale instability which forms local flux concentrations, even though the specific entropy evolution tends to have a stabilizing effect when applied to a stably stratified (e.g. isothermal) layer. It is argued that this large-scale instability could be important for the formation of solar large-scale magnetic structures such as active regions.

Project presentation - "Autonomous McDonald's Franchise"
The energy efficiency McDonald's restaurant – unique worldwide – was opened in April 2009. The background for this project was the goal of testing new technologies and alternative, environmentally friendly energy forms under full restaurant operating conditions for their suitability in practice and thereby to use energy efficiently in the future.
Those technologies that are proven will be transferred to other franchises. In addition to solar energy, alternative forms such as heat pumps and wind energy will be used.
The goal of the project is to reduce CO2 emissions and energy consumption. The project will be accompanied by the Eco-Institute Freiburg e.V., which will compile an energy and climate balance after one year of measurements.

The Emigrant Register was established in 1989 as a service for genealogists
and the descendants of Finnish emigrants.The foundation of the Register was a
part of the Delaware 350 Anniversary, to commemorate the beginning of Finnish
Emigration to North America. Sources include passport records (from the year
1890 up to 1920), passenger records of the Finnish Steamship Company (from the
year 1892 up to 1950) and information on Finns deceased abroad (from 1918 up to
1950). The Register receives a large number of enquiries from
abroad as well as from Finland.

An honor system administered by students is among William & Mary's oldest and most important traditions. At its core, the honor system requires that students conduct themselves honestly in all matters related to student life.
At the Law School, the honor system is administered by the Honor Council, composed of students from each class.
The existence of the honor system, and the student body's commitment to it, permits a community of trust and an atmosphere of freedom at the Law School. For example, examinations are not proctored, students may take them anywhere in the building, and many exams are self-scheduled. Students are permitted to use their laptops for exams and are trusted to follow the rules governing their use.

América Solidaria aims to promote effective volunteer engagement among the countries of the Americas. The main objective of the organization is to promote regional and multilateral development between the different countries of the continent. América Solidaria aims to accomplish this through volunteer networks of young professionals who work with a sense of professionalism and social awareness to promote social integration and solidarity in the countries where they have been placed. Founded in Chile, América Solidaria now works throughout South America and the Caribbean and would like to extend the scope of its work to include the United States.
Definition of Problem
Today there are volunteers coming from five different countries, but there is no consistent application, selection or support system across countries. This is an issue that needs to be addressed and remedied. Considering the first report and analysis by students of the "Development Advisory Teams" (spring 2013), America Solidaria would like to continue to deepen the analysis and the design of their volunteer programs, comparing their work with similar initiatives in the United States, especially as it relates to the application process, screening, selection and support Specifically, America Solidaria are interested in the following areas of analysis:
A. Models and Systems for Volunteer Nominations: A review of the application processes of organizations similar to American Solidaria (on timing of placement, phasing, duration, required documentation etc.) and tools used and how these tools allow them to streamline application processes.
B. Selection Process and Evaluation of Volunteers: Review of different models of selection of volunteers, stages, selection criteria and indicators of successful selection that includes looking at the impact that these volunteers make.
C. Volunteers Accompaniment Processes: Finally a review of the processes accompanying the volunteers once they start their work in their respective destinations.
Initial Steps and Options
América Solidaria would like a team of students to consider what other similar organizations have done when facing these challenges of identification, selection, placement, and measuring impact of their volunteers. Organizations of particular interest include:
Students on this DAT project will also work together with computer science students from Notre Dame engineering Prof. Raul Santelices' class on some more technical aspects of building a software system for recruitment and selection of volunteers. Many of the materials are in Spanish, so it would be helpful if some team members have a knowledge of Spanish.

During the last two or three decades, incidence of failure of reinforced concrete structures has been seen widely for many reasons, such as increasing service loads and/or durability problems and the economic losses due to such failures are costly. Nowadays, the size and the form of repair and rehabilitation market are too large since there has been an increased emphasis on repair and retrofitting of defected structures over demolition and new construction. For safety in concrete tunnel, periodic inspection has been conducted using many testing technologies and techniques. However, these technologies cannot replace visual inspection because of their slow and complicated procedures. For this reason, the Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS) are used with lab tests results to diagnose R.C tunnel lining corrosion crack damage (DICRCTL). In this study, we attempt to propose an alternative to the human expert, to give technical decisions in diagnosing corrosion crack damages in second segment of R.C. tunnel lining. To overcome this requirement, an expert system is developed to achieve the research aim. This proposed system was constructed on a knowledge base that incorporates with the gathered information, tests in the form of rules which is suitable to implement in an expert system environment to diagnostic advisory nature. The proposed application results show an easy, fast and satisfactory answer to engineering needs.

Let $M$ and $N$ be two smooth manifolds, and $f: M \to N$ be a submersion, ${{f}^{-1}}(y)$ is compact for all $y$ in $N$. Then prove for any $x$ in $N$ there is an open neighborhood $U$ of $x$ such that ${{f}^{-1}}(U)$ is diffeomorphic to $U\times {{f}^{-1}}(x)$. I've thought this problem for a long time, but I don't know to use which method. Cobordism can help to solve this question?

I don't see how cobordism would help. I would try using the implicit function theorem instead. – Neal Feb 23 '12 at 14:10
show that $f$ is proper and look at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehresmann%27s_fibration_theorem – Blah Feb 23 '12 at 16:59
You are missing some hypothesis to conclude that $f$ is proper. For example, without any additional hypothesis, we have a counterexample $M=(0,2)$, $N=S^1$ (the unit circle in the complex plane), and $f(t)=e^{2\pi i t}$. – Marcos Cossarini Apr 28 '14 at 0:27
1 Answer 1
As Blah said in the comments, if we can show that $f$ is proper (and in fact it is!), your statement is just Ehresmann fibration theorem.
To give a proof of Ehresmann fibration theorem, we will use theorem of tubular neighborhoods. This result says that a neighborhood $W$ of $M_y := f^{-1}(y)$ in $M$ is diffeomorphic to a neighborhood of $M_y$ in its normal bundle, and in particular that there exists a differentiable retraction $r : W \to M_y$. But then, consider the map $$(r,f):W \to M_y \times N.$$ This map has a differential (which is invertible along $M_y$). As $M_y$ is compact, there exists an open set $W' \subset W$ containing $M_y$ such that $(r,f)_{|W'}$ is an embedding. Finally, as $f$ is proper, $W'$ contains an open set $W''$ of the form $f^{-1}(U)$, where $U \subset N$ is a neighborhood of $y$. Then clearly $(r,f)(W'') = M_y \times U$ and we have shown that $(r,f)$ is a diffeomorphism from $f^{-1}(U)$ to $M_y \times U$.

Using a Tiny Cutting Board
Why it's bad: You won't have room to maneuver a knife, which increases your risk of cutting yourself. You'll also make a mess and waste time corralling ingredients that fall off the board.
Do this instead: Think small knife, small board; big knife, big board. You can use a little board for a quick task, like cutting a lemon into wedges with a paring knife. But since most kitchen prep work requires a chef's knife, you probably need a board that is at least 12 by 15 inches. It should be large enough to hold ingredients at every stage of the process. For example, if you're chopping celery, you want room for both the stalks you start with and the pile of cut pieces you end up with. Before you begin, place a damp paper towel or dishcloth underneath the board to prevent it from slipping around on the counter.

This article is dedicated to a very important aspect from Backend Certification – How to use blocks in Magento 2, which is the part of one large topic 3 "Customizing the Magento UI". Today we will consider the following questions:
What is block architecture and how is it used in development
What is the typical block's role?
Separation block-template allows you to separate business logic from design..Blocks are usually (but not always) connected to PHTML template files. Blocks can be thought of as a data container for a template, which represents a piece of the HTML on the page. In layouts XML, you can manage blocks on the page and add new ones, set templates to move and delete.
Which objects are accessible from the block?
All block extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template, so by default blocks are injected with a \Magento\Framework\View\ Element\Template\Context object and support getters and setters for returning and storage any objects or data. This object contains a number of other objects that are loaded into the instance:
- $this->validator: \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template\File\Validator
- $this->resolver: \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template\File\Resolver
- $this->_filesystem: \Magento\Framework\Filesystem
- $this->templateEnginePool: \Magento\Framework\View\TemplateEnginePool
- $this->_storeManager: \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface
- $this->_appState: \Magento\Framework\App\State
- $this->pageConfig: \Magento\Framework\View\Page\Config
What are the stages in lifecycle of a block?
There are two phases of the block life cycle: generating blocks and rendering blocks. Blocks are instantiated at the moment the layout is created. They are not executed at that time, just instantiated. Also during this phase, the structure is built, the children of blocks are set, and for each block, the prepareLayout() method is called.
However, nothing is rendered, as that happens in the later rendering phase.
GeneratePool goes through all generators and generate all scheduled elements. It has generators with the following elements:
At this moment, we already have all the layout xml for the page generated, and all block classes are created.
In this method we check type of rendered elements. It creates them and returns html using toHtml() method. This method is not recommended to override. If you want to change block rendering override _toHtml() method.
In what cases would you put your code in the _prepareLayout(), _beforeToHtml(), and _toHtml() methods?
_prepareLayout() – most often used for:
Partner With UsLet's discuss how to grow your business. Get a Free Quote.
- adding child's Magento\Eav\Block\Adminhtml\Attribute\Edit\Options\AbstractOptions::_prepareLayout()
- adding tabs on backend Magento\Backend\Block\System\Design\Edit\Tabs::_prepareLayout()
- set title Magento\Wishlist\Block\Customer\Sharing::_prepareLayout()
- adding pager, breadcrumbs and so on Magento\Sales\Block\Order\History::_prepareLayout()
- set renderer Magento\Catalog\Block\Adminhtml\Form::_prepareLayout()
- data preparing Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\ProductList\Related::_beforeToHtml()
- assign values Magento\Backend\Block\Widget\Form\Element::_beforeToHtml()
- adding child's Magento\Shipping\Block\Adminhtml\Create\Items::_beforeToHtml()
Using this method, you can manipulate the rendering of the block, complement the condition, make wrappers for html, change the template for the block etc. Magento\GroupedProduct\Block\Order\Email\Items\Order\Grouped::_toHtml(), Magento\Sales\Block\Reorder\Sidebar::_toHtml()
How would you use events fired in the abstract block?
view_block_abstract_to_html_before – use for editing params:
view_block_abstract_to_html_after – use for html manipulation – editing,add conditions, wrappers.
How are blocks rendered and cached?
The most important method for rendering a block is Magento\Framework\View\Element\AbstractBlock::toHtml(). He first run _loadCache(), if the cache is missing then it run _beforeToHtml() after the block is rendered by the method_toHtml() after which the cache is saved _saveCache($html) and run _afterToHtml($html).
Method _loadCache() uses cache_key return by getCacheKey() and _saveCache($html) – cache_tags obtained by the method getCacheTags(). Cache_key each block is added up like BLOCK_$cache_key, if this property not defined – BLOCK_sha1($name_in_layout). Cache_tags is array and consists of a property $cache_tags, if it defined in block and if block instanceof Magento\Framework\DataObject\IdentityInterface values returned by the method getIdentities() are added to the array. We can manage $cache_lifetime variable. Value will be in seconds, if you want to disable cache you can set value to 0 or not set the value because all blocks are non-cacheable by default.
What are different types of blocks used for?
- Magento\Framework\View\Element\AbstractBlock – parent block for all custom blocks;
- Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template – block with template;
- Magento\Framework\View\Element\Text – just rendering text;
- Magento\Framework\View\Element\FormKey – return hidden input with form key;
- Magento\Framework\View\Element\Messages – rendering notification message by type.
When would you use non-template block types?
When we use simple renderers. When block content is dynamic generated or stored in a database or in containers. For example, if you want form_key in template, you can insert block Magento\Framework\View\Element\FormKey.
In what situation should you use a template block or other block types?
When we use complicate renderers. When we want to customize themes or add new blocks. А prime example is a breadcrumb block Magento\Catalog\Block\Breadcrumbs. If you want to customize breadcrumbs, you can set the template in layout.
This is all to the topic of use of blocks in Magento 2. If you have any questions left or comments, please leave them down below.

Leet (1337) is an alphabet of ASCII characters used by 'elite' internet users. Purposes for using Leet can vary, but I find it particularly useful for creating passwords. Here's an example:
Leet sentence: 1337 |$ \/3|2′/ |_|$3|o5|_|1 |o50|2 [|2347||\|9 |o4$$\/\/0|2|)$
Plain English: Leet is very useful for creating passwords
Basically, Leet is just another way to write words using numbers and symbols. I know, incredibly geeky, but it can be a lot of fun! There are several different ways to write Leet, so you kind of have to settle on a standard format for your own use, or you may find yourself using 20 different versions of "M". For a complete chart, click here.
Like I said, Leet can be used for just about anything, but I like to create passwords using Leet. Reason for doing so, is simply more security. Symbols and characters add a whole new level of security to passwords. It's not for everyone, but I find 1337 intriguing.
Have you heard of 1337? Do you use it for anything?


How to Hang a Dartboard in a Cabinet
A dartboard mounted on a bare wall can lead to pretty several holes inside the wall from darts that miss the target. 1 method to resolve this challenge is always to hang the dartboard within a cabinet that could support defend the wall from errant shots. Most cabinets are constructed from wood and have doors that will conceal the board when it really is not in use. You could hang a dartboard inside a wall cabinet within a handful of minutes with some simple hand tools.
 1. Measure the height with the dartboard cabinet and divide the measurement in half. Subtract that measurement from five feet eight inches, measure up in the floor to this height and spot a horizontal pencil mark around the wall.
 2. Find the wall studs just above the mark and note the centers on the studs around the wall using a pencil.
 3. Position the dartboard cabinet to ensure that its bottom edge is aligned with all the horizontal pencil mark. Adjust the board in order that the 4 mounting holes are aligned with all the centers on the two wall studs, then adjust the angle in the cabinet using a level. Drive a two 1/2-inch wood screw by way of every single of your pre-drilled holes within the back in the cabinet in to the studs making use of a energy drill having a lengthy screw bit.
 4. Attach the mounting bracket for the dartboard towards the two hole places within the center on the cabinet having a screwdriver.
 5. Insert the mounting screw in to the center of your back from the dartboard. Drive the screw till it can be flush, then back it out a single complete turn.
 6. Attach the 3 rubber bumpers in the dartboard kit evenly spaced about the perimeter in the dartboard having a screwdriver. Then position the dartboard in to the cabinet and slip the head on the center screw in to the mounting bracket. In the event the board is also loose, get rid of it and tighten the screw slightly, then remount the dartboard. Rotate the dart board till the 20 position is pointing straight up.

Yucatan Poorwill is endemic to the Yucatan region of southeastern Mexico, Belize, and northeastern Guatemala. This small caprimulgid is found in deciduous forest and scrub habitats and most often is detected by its three part song. This nightjar is seen only infrequently because of its arboreal habits, unlike the sympatric Common Pauraque (Nyctidromus albicollis), which commonly sits on roads at night in between feeding sallies. Yucatan Nightjar can be identified within its restricted geographic range by its small size, rufous coloration, and tendency to perch in trees.

The conditions under which ordinary least squares (OLS) is an unbiased and consistent estimator of the linear probability model (LPM) are unlikely to hold in many instances. Yet the LPM still may be the correct model or a good approximation to the probability generating process. A sequential least squares (SLS) estimation procedure is introduced that may outperform OLS in terms of finite sample bias and yields a consistent estimator. Monte Carlo simulations reveal that SLS outperforms OLS, probit and logit in terms of mean squared error of the predicted probabilities.

Multiple owners increase depreciation claims
Split reports help accelerate deductions
An increase in BMT Tax Depreciation Schedules for more than one owner suggests co-ownership is becoming an increasingly popular trend.
It can also balance out the expenses of owning an investment property including ongoing repairs, maintenance and fees. Additionally, co-ownership can provide improved depreciation deductions, allowing more items to be depreciated at a higher rate. This is where a BMT Tax Depreciation split report can assist.
How does a split report work?
A split report calculates depreciation deductions based on each owner's percentage of ownership for each asset. This involves splitting the value of the assets based upon each owner's interest in the assets before applying depreciation rules.
In a scenario where there is just one owner, legislation allows property investors to claim an immediate write-off for assets with an opening value of $300 or less. However, when an investment property is co-owned by two parties with a 50:50 ownership share, a split report allows the owners to each claim an immediate write-off for items where their interest in the asset is below $300. This means the owners can claim an instant write-off for items which are less than $600 in total value.
The same method can be used when applying low-value pooling. Where an owner's interest in an asset is less than $1,000, these items will qualify to be placed in a low-value pool. This means they can be claimed at an increased rate of 18.75 per cent in the first year regardless of the number of days owned and 37.5 per cent from the second year onwards.
In a situation where ownership is split 50:50, by calculating an owner's interest in each asset first, the owners will qualify to pool assets which cost less than $2,000 in total to the low-value pool.
Distributing the value of assets based upon the percentage of ownership first will increase the number of assets which investors are eligible to claim an immediate write-off or low-value pooling for. As a result, the rate at which depreciation deductions can be applied will be accelerated and the owners will receive increased deductions in the earlier years of ownership.
BMT's split reports simplify this process and allow owners to get more from their investment. Each split report can also be provided in CSV format for easy importing into accounting software.
There is an option for owners who prefer a depreciation schedule without any split applied should this be required.
Visit BMT's co-ownership case study page to see how a split schedule increases deductions for two owners.

Bees learn while they sleep, and that means they might dream.
Photo via MYN Pierre Escoubas/naturepl.com
A new study suggests that bees can store information in long-term memory while they sleep, just like humans do when we dream
For all our obvious differences, humans and honeybees share some common threads within the fabric of life.
We are both social species. While humans speak and write to communicate, honeybees dance to one another; waggling their bodies for specific durations at angles that indicate where the best pockets of nectar or pollen are to be found outside the hustle and bustle of the nest.
But only forager bees – the eldest of several types of honeybee castes – do this. Just like in human populations, the honeybee colony is divided into different sectors of work. There are cleaners, nurses, security guards, not to mention collection bees whose sole job is to cache nectar in comb.

Metadata Process Flow
These steps describe the flow for creating new style sheets in greater detail.
 1. Using the Reference Configuration Sample (or a a third-party user interface), the administrator establishes a connection with the Metadata Builder engine through a COM Data Control.
 2. The administrator logs in to the Metadata Business Service and selects a Siebel application to view.
 3. The Metadata Builder engine uses the Extractor/Parser functionality to extract and parse the object definitions (located in the SRF file) for the specified application. (The application definitions are defined in Siebel Tools.)
 4. The Metadata Builder engine then creates a hierarchical representation of the entire application in memory.
 5. The Metadata Builder engine uses the XML Builder functionality to generate an XML representation of the application. The XML representation is presented to the administrator in the Reference Configuration Sample as a hierarchical tree structure.
 6. Using the Reference Configuration Sample, the administrator customizes the data in the hierarchical tree structure, selecting the user interface elements desired for each screen. (The administrator can also subscribe for updates and pushed alerts by using the same user interface.)
 7. When the administrator has configured each screen of the application that needs to be customized, the administrator saves the selections as a subscription. The Metadata Builder engine uses the Save Selections functionality to save all the selections (user interface elements, updates, and alerts). If alerts have been subscribed for, the Metadata Builder engine creates business processes and saves them.
 8. The administrator clicks the Create Stylesheets button. The Metadata Builder engine invokes the Style Sheet Builder functionality to generate the style sheets.

Reproduction of the commercial sea cucumber Holothuria scabra (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) in the Solomon Islands
- Over a 3-year period (1996–1998), reproduction of the commercial sea cucumber Holothuria scabra (Jaeger, 1833) was investigated in the Solomon Islands to determine the spawning pattern and whether gametogenesis is continuous or seasonal. The gonad consisted of a single cohort of tubules that developed uniformly. Macroscopic examination of the gonads revealed that mature gametes were present throughout the year. Individuals with gonads at different stages of maturity were present in most samples. Partly spawned gonads were prevalent in females, whereas mature gonads were prevalent in males. The time at which the peak gonad index was recorded differed among years. Although gametogenesis was continuous, with a potential for prolonged gamete release, a period of enhanced spawning occurred during the dry season, from September to December. Maximum gonad indices were reached prior to and during this period of enhanced spawning. Histology revealed that gametogenesis reinitiated in partly spawned gonads, resulting in the presence of gametes at different stages of development in the gonad. The uniform growth of gonad tubules indicated that H. scabra does not conform to the progressive tubule recruitment model described for holothurian oogenesis. Continuous reproduction in H. scabra and prolonged availability of mature gametes would facilitate use of this species for aquaculture.

The Proper Role of Administrative Controls in the Implementation of Controls for Criticality Safety
The Double Contingency Analysis (DCA) is a common tool used in the evaluation and establishment of requirements for the control of criticality in operations involving fissile materials. In one case involving a chemical processing facility the administrative controls resulting from the analysis did not contribute to safety.
The analysis (DCA) and resulting engineering documentation indicated that the equipment and processes at this facility were designing with engineered controls such that the assurance of criticality safety would be simple and straightforward. These engineered controls included the use of favorable geometry tanks, well engineered gloveboxes, robust physical constraints on addition of reflection and moderation, low fire loadings, primary reliance on Halon fire suppression, siphon breaks, and the physical design of eductors. These engineered features created a scrap recovery process that needed only limited reliance on administrative controls on mass. The criticality safety system implemented however, places tremendous burden on administrative mass controls.
The failure to identify the complete sequence of events required for a potential criticality and all of the controls, including passive engineered controls, active engineered controls, and administrative controls, limits the usefulness of the DCA to the operations of this facility. The failure of the DCA to identify (and take credit for) all of the controls present can be expected to result in needless occurrence reports when the operation is quite safe. Lesson learned: Although administrative controls play an important role in the safety of DOE operations, the over-use of these controls and/or under-utilization of engineered controls may actually have a negative impact on facility safety.

One man in Scotland is apparently building an underground bunker tourism empire. James Mitchell, who runs "Scotland's Secret Bunker," is planning to open another Cold War relic as a museum, according to the Scotsman. This one in Edinburgh, known as the Barnton Quarry Nuclear Bunker, was constructed in 1952 as a safe place to maintain power for the British government, with three stories of rooms to house the royal family, military and government officials, and even staff from the BBC.
Barnton Quarry hasn't been used since 1914, and before the bunker was built 100 feet below the earth there was an RAF fighter control center built on the land during WWII (it's still there, covered in graffiti). The bunker was completely a secret until 1963, when a group called Spies for Peace released the information to the public.
While it's long been popular for urban exploration (check out Secret Scotland for some great information), fires in 1991 and 1993 blamed on illegal raves caused it to be filled with asbestos. When the museum will open and how Mitchell will clean up the site remains to be announced, but for now you can glimpse the interior through the amazing photos of people who risked their health to plunge into the depths of the nuclear bunker fit for a Queen (warning, this video from an urban explorer has some kind of intense music):

A group of designers has created a set of artificial butterflies made entirely from recycled mobile phones that interact differently when existing smartphones make contact with them.
Working with mobile operator O2 and its official O2 Recycle scheme, design company is this good? designed the butterflies to show that there is use for old phones beyond the end of a user's contract.
Chris Cairns, creative director at is this good?, said: "We wanted to give the 'old and forgotten' a new lease of life and showcase the fact that even the discarded can emerge as something new and beautiful, which is what up-cycling and O2 Recycle is all about.
"We hoped that, by creating 'Social Butterflies', we would raise a smile and remind people that we can create moments of recognition and happiness out of products we have previously loved and now overlook. Each of these butterflies have their own little personality quirks so I'm looking forward to the members of the public starting up a conversation with them."
The butterflies have each been mounted on a plinth and connected to a tablet that displays a phone number. If users ring the number shown on the tablet screen, the butterfly in question comes to life, and the way they have been programmed means that each robot reacts differently when called, using the digits in a number to prompt individual reactions.
Interactions range from light shows, to lasers and flapping wings that consist of smartphone screens. Is this good? say they took around seven months to create, and involved spending time at the Natural History Museum in London in order to study the butterflies there and gain inspiration for their final designs.
Bill Eyres, head of sustainability at O2, said: "We can see this project creating a type of 'butterfly effect'. As people experience this amazing recycled technology, we hope they will be inspired to regularly recycle their old devices. Many people don't realise that their old technology can have a second life.
"There's an environmental need to dig out old gadgets so they can be used again, rather than lying unused and unloved in a drawer. O2 Recycle offers a simple, sustainable way to recycle unused gadgets and receive a cash payment in return. We all have a role to play in making sure that old technology lives on even when we've finished with it."
Hardware from a range of different mobile phones has been used, with the designers taking inspiration from the different components found within each in order to apply it to a butterfly.
Marek Bereza, co-founder of is this good?, said: "We wanted to show people that their phones aren't junk after two years and they're actually quite valuable and quite beautiful. We've used lots of different bits of phones, just searching for the aesthetic qualities. One has a beautiful gold and green printed circuit board. Another one we used just SIM cards, cladding it like scales or feathers."
O2 hopes to place the butterflies in shop windows in UK stores in order to promote their recycling campaign, as well as give consumers the chance to interact with the robotic insects.

Eventual consistency is everywhere. DNS is the canonical example, but it's becoming more important in mobile applications with sporadic connectivity and databases with high availability requirements. One of the difficulties with these systems is resolving conflicting writes. Some cases allow for last-write-wins, but other domains require a mechanism which doesn't lose data. knockbox is an open source Clojure project that takes data-structure implementations that support automatic conflict resolution, and wraps them up to be used just like any other Clojure seq, set, or map. This talk will explore the motivation behind knockbox, the data-structures themselves, using knockbox with Riak, and issues like garbage collection and synchronization.

Bálint BalassiArticle Free Pass
Bálint Balassi, Balassi also spelled Balassa (born Oct. 20, 1554, Zólyom, Hung.—died May 30, 1594, Esztergom), the outstanding Hungarian lyric poet of his time, remaining unrivaled in his native literature until the end of the 18th century.
Balassi was born into one of the richest Protestant families of the country and lived an adventurous life, fighting against the Turks and against his own relatives, who sought to despoil him of his heritage. At first his poetry was conventional, but his powerful personality soon found original expression. He wrote vividly about the beauties of the countryside and the rough pleasures of warfare. His love poems show genuine feeling. Balassi was the inventor of a stanza form that was copied by later poets. His conversion to Roman Catholicism led to a religious poetry in which he exhibited a strong spirituality. He died of wounds received during the siege of Esztergom.

JD Vs. LLB Law Degree
Lawyer sitting in front of laptop at desk
... DeanDrobot/iStock/Getty Images
The law degrees J.D. and LL.B. have similarities and differences. They are awarded primarily based on the country standard where the degree is earned, and are both considered a first-level law degree.
1 Definition of J.D. and LL.B Degrees
The J.D. degree stands for Juris Doctor, and the LL.B. Degree stands for Legum Baccalaureus, which literally means Bachelor of Laws. A J.D. degree is required in most states to gain entrance to the bar.
2 History of the LL.B. Degree
The LL.B. is based on English "common law." Until the mid-1960s, it was the benchmark law degree for all common law countries, including the U.S. In the 1970s, U.S. law schools changed to the J.D. degree. Although the LL.B. degree was the standard law degree in Europe for hundreds of years, in 1820, Harvard University became the first American university to award the LL.B. degree.
3 Differences Between the Two
Unlike the bachelor-level LL.B., the J.D. is a post-graduate, three-year professional law degree. In addition to being the standard degree to practice law in the U.S., the J.D. is becoming more customary in Canada, Hong Kong, Australia and elsewhere.
4 Curriculum Similarities
Although each degree's curricula focus on the practice of law, the LL.B. is more academic in nature. The recipient of an LL.B. may require further accreditation before entering practice, depending on the country. This may not apply in countries where the LL.B. is earned as a post-graduate degree. In such cases, the LL.B. and J.D. may be treated equally.
5 Misconceptions
While the J.D. degree is technically a doctoral degree, recipients are not addressed as "Dr." That is reserved for a more advanced law degree -- for example, Doctor of Juridical Science, or J.S.D.

How paintballs are made
How Paintballs Are Made
Softgels are made on special, very expensive, softgel encapsulating machines. In 1933, Robert Scherer designed and patented the first such machine. Here's how a softgel encapsulation machine works:
- Hot liquid gelatin is formed into two thin but wide gelatin ribbons. Each gelatin ribbon passes over a rotating die. The dies are designed to form a capsule of a particular size and shape, such as a paintball. Softgels can be round like paintballs, oblong, or unusually-shaped.
- Each die with its gelatin ribbon presses against the other die as the dies rotate. Each die has half the gelatin shell. As the dies meet, the fill (whatever goes inside the softgel) is injected into the area between the two gelatin sheets. The dies continue to rotate, pressing the two warm gelatin ribbons against each other and forming a filled gelatin capsule. The seam on a paintball shows where the two gelatin sheets met.
- Finally, the now-sealed gelatin capsule drops away from the rotating dies. It is not, however, ready to use when it drops form the machine. For example, when it drops down, what will become a paintball is rubbery and larger than it will be when it is ready to shoot. These bouncy, not-quite-ready softgels are gently tumbled, and then dried in trays in a climate-controlled environment. The gelatin and fill shrink as they dry.
- At RPS, technicians constantly monitor the encapsulation machines as they run. Technicians will randomly check the encapsulations to see the product meets required specifications. Technicians also check the paintballs when they're dry. Any that are not up to RPS's specifications are removed and destroyed. When ready, the paintballs are packaged to move onward toward the end consumers.
- Paintballs are made from materials such as Gelatin derived from pork skins and beef bones/hides, Poly-Ethel Glycol (PEG), Glycerin, Sorbitol, water, free fatty acids, titanium dioxide, starches, surfactants, emulsifiers and FD+C colorants. A majority of these components are naturally occurring (although processed) such as Gelatin, water and Soybean. Other materials are derivatives of other natural components such as PEG, and starches. All are non-toxic and safe for use in paintball.

One of the most common concerns that people have when switching to VoIP is whether they can port over their existing phone number. Can someone keep their existing phone number when switching to VoIP? Fortunately, the answer is yes but there are exceptions. The ability to use your existing phone number, when transferring from one provider to another, is called "number portability". The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) made sure of the number porting availability by issuing a ruling that VoIP service providers should provide a phone number portability option to their clients. Clients can have phone number portability as long as they live in the same geographical area, and with VoIP, the number portablity options are far more extended.
Transferring or porting your phone number from a traditional telephone landline system is usually and in most cases possible. However, the process may take some time. It is also important to note that there are some providers that require a fee to have phone number portability. So if you plan on porting over your old phone number to your new service provider, be sure to ask if there are any associated fees.
You should not cancel your current telephone service with your current provider until you have contacted your new provider. Your new provider will need to know your account information from your current provider in order to successfully and quickly port over your phone number. By providing a billing statement, it ensures that your account information needed to port your phone number is correct.
Complications arise when you move to another location. In a legal sense, you are the owner of your own phone number. You have the rights to port your phone number anywhere. However, if you move to another location/region, and need to change service providers, you may encounter issues with porting your existing number due to the location.
Once you start an account with a VoIP provider, your phone number is owned by the VoIP provider and it is not portable. If you wanted to change a VoIP provider, you could not use the same number. The reason for this is that the VoIP provider is the one leasing the number from a telecommunications service provider. In legal terms, your phone number is registered to the VoIP provider's name.
Be sure to thoroughly consult with your new VoIP service provider to make sure that your phone number is portable, and the detailed process involved. Ask information on how to port your phone number and what are the possible issues or concerns when porting your phone number to a VoIP provider.


Consider a steam turbine in which steam enters at 10.45 MPa and 780 K with a
flow rate of 38.739 kg/s. A portion of the steam is extracted from the turbine after
partial expansion at three different locations as shown in the sketch. The mass
flow rates, temperature and pressures at each extraction are given in the following
table (note at extraction 3, there is saturated liquid+vapor mixture). The remaining
wet steam exits the turbine at 11.5 kPa with a quality of 0.88. Estimate the power
produced by the turbine assuming adiabatic operation and negligible kinetic and
potential energies.
extraction location 1: mass flow rate=4.343kg/s, P=3.054MPa, T=620K
extraction location 2: mass flow rate=4.345kg/s, P=0.332MPa, T=482K
extraction location 3: mass flow rate=2.871kg/s, P=0.136MPa, x=.949
*there is an inlet, 3 extraction points, and an exit. Partially confused on if you can assume this is not steady state. I have begun to use the change in enegry of a system equation, but am kind of stuck after I start to find my unknowns.
