I recently acquired a B1/B2 visa for two years on grounds of attending an environment conference in California, however the conference will not take place as scheduled, So can I visit another state such as Colorado to visit someone?
I got a B1/B2 visa earlier this year when I traveled to the US for a business trip from my company. It expires in 2013 and I'd love to visit the United States again, but for no other purpose than traveling.  I wonder:        If I can legally travel to US with B1/B2 visa without a real business need (assuming I'm honest);   If I have to work at my current company to be able to use it.      I live in Russia.
I have a cable as in the drawing. The black parts are insulators and the brown parts are copper, so there is a big copper cable and inside are two smaller copper cables. When the big copper cable is tied to ground I can use a time domain reflectometer (TDR) on the smaller cables to determine the length of the cable. What happens if the big copper cable is in use with a current running through it that is 1000 times bigger than the current running through the two smaller copper cables? Will I still be able to determine the length with a TDR? I think there shouldn't be a capacitance between the two smaller copper cables - but how am I then able to measure with it a TDR?

Note: This is a canonical post created so that we can close the many similar questions as duplicates as discussed in .   We have created a logo for a client and they love it. We've already started preparing the materials that will feature the new logo.   However, after we had created the logo, we found a logo for another company that looks eerily similar. We did not intentionally create the new logo to look like the one of the other company, in fact we didn't even know it existed beforehand, but it does regardless.  What should we do? Is this plagiarism? Can our client use the logo we have created? Should they? Or do we need to come up with another logo that's more different? bash: syntax error near unexpected token `}' What is the probability that when you place 8 towers on a chess-board, none of them can beat the other. What is the probability that when you place 8 towers on a chess-board, none of them can beat the other.  Attempt: ${64 \choose 8}^{-1} \approx1$ in $4\ 400\ 000\ 000$  Correct answer: ${64 \choose 8}^{-1} \cdot 8! \approx 1$ in $9\ 000\ 000$.  I disagree with the $8!$. If there's combinations (binomial coefficient) in the denominator, why would there be permutations i.e. the order counts, in the numerator? Issue with using ContactID as subscriber key in Marketing Cloud We have set up our Sales Cloud - Marketing Cloud integration where Contact ID is used as the subscriber key.  What we've noticed is when we have contact ID as the subscriber relationship on our sendable data extension, Marketing Cloud will reference contact ID on All Subscribers list and if data matches, it will send to the email address listed on All Subscribers and not to the one on the data extension.  This has caused us headaches for a number of reasons:   Email addresses always change so the one on All Subscribers is out-of-date. Whilst preference center can update a recipients address and write this back to All Subscribers that not how most addresses are updated by the user Email address is typically updated in Sales Cloud instance and migrated to Marketing Cloud either through imports or via synchronized data extensions.  It does not map directly to All Subscribers. Marketing Cloud users assume (and quite rightly) the address listed on the data extension is what will be used in the send. Not the one on All subscribers.   Anyone else experienced this? Any solution to resolve this issue? I'm a citizen of an EU member state traveling to a small city in Vermont. Looking at flight data, it seems that it would be quite a bit quicker to fly into Montreal (Canada) and then drive a rental car to my final destination in Vermont (and back), rather than getting a connecting flight into a small local US airport. I am slightly worried about the trouble I might get myself into by crossing a land border twice, though.  Can anyone give me an idea of what I'd be getting into in terms of:   Crossing time Discomfort Additional paperwork required   For both the outbound (Canada/US) and the return leg (US/Canada) of my journey, when compared to crossing the border at an international airport?  Also, do I need to take any special actions when I'm arranging a rental car if I intend to drive it over to the US and back? What is the relation between normal extension and separable extension? What is the relation between normal extension and separable extension? Let F be the algebraic extension of K, if F is a separable extension of K,if and only if F is a normal extension of K? is this correct? Second law of Newton for variable mass systems Frequently I see the expression  $$F = \frac{dp}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(mv) = \frac{dm}{dt}v + ma,$$ which can be applied to variable mass systems.  But I'm wondering if this derivation is correct, because the second law of Newton is formulated for point masses.   Furthermore if i change the inertial frame of reference, only $v$ on the right side of the formula $F = \frac{dm}{dt}v+ma$ will change, meaning that $F$ would be dependent of the frame of reference, which (according to me) can't be true.   I realize there exists a formula for varying mass systems, that looks quite familiar to this one, but isn't exactly the same, because the $v$ on the right side is there the relative velocity of mass expulsed/accreted. The derivation of that formula is also rather different from this one.   So my question is: is this formula, that I frequently encounter in syllabi and books, correct? Where lies my mistake. Is $|xy|$ differentiable in $(0,0)$? Is $f(x,y) = |xy|$ differentiable in $(0,0)$? I have no idea how to approach this problem. Show $\operatorname{Aut}(C_2 \times C_2)$ is isomorphic to $D_6$ (the group with $x^3=1$, $y^2=1$ and $xy=yx^2$).  I'm not really sure how to express the elements of $\operatorname{Aut}(C_2 \times C_2)$. Would it be sufficient to show the elements of $\operatorname{Aut}(C_2 \times C_2)$, find their order and show they bijectively map to every element of $D_6$ and satisfy $xy=yx^2$? How does Star Trek bridge crew spend their time when on duty? It's implied that the Enterprise bridge crew, in any of the TV series, spend long durations at their duty stations, either sitting or standing.  What exactly are they doing for hours on end while the Enterprise is en route between destinations? Is it me or does this seem like an incredibly tedious if not fatiguing job, sitting in a chair staring at the same view screen? Couldn't these tasks be automated? What is the best way to give a C# auto-property an initial value? How do you give a C# auto-property an initial value?  I either use the constructor, or revert to the old syntax.    Using the Constructor:  class Person  {     public Person()     {         Name = "Initial Name";     }     public string Name { get; set; } }   Using normal property syntax  (with an initial value)  private string name = "Initial Name"; public string Name  {     get      {         return name;     }     set     {         name = value;     } }   Is there a better way? No matter how I do it, I always end up with $x = 0, 90, 270$ and $360$. All of those except $270$ is right, but I can't quite figure out how to get the $270$ degrees out of the answer. I've tried using trig identities, I've tried squaring both sides, but I always end up with $$2\sin x\cos x$$ which then leads me to $x = 0, 90, 270, 360$. But $$\sin (270) + \cos (270) = -1$$ so I'm doing something wrong.

I'm quite new to blender, so I may not know sth important about these modes. The actual case is:  I create a cube, which is 2×2×2 metres in metric units by default  (it's also shown under 'dimensions')    Then, with the cube selected, I switch to Edit mode, and enable 'Edge info: Length' under 'Mesh display'    And it shows the cube's measurements, which are 2m on each edge.  Now I use the scale tool in Edit mode, making the edges 2.244m    That's good so far. Changing back to Object mode, the changes can be seen under 'dimension'    However, when I use the scale tool in Object mode, the scale and dimensions also change, but changing back to Edit mode, the measurements shown remain the same      So the question is, why does the scale tool work differently and have different effects in Ojbect mode and Edit mode? Also, how can I enter the desired size of my cube manually to get an accurate result, without using the scale tool in Edit mode, and without changing the scale ratio in object mode?
