My question is about the Data Vault 2.0 methodology for data modeling.
-------What is a multi-active satellite?-------
I could not find a very basic definition with a very basic example for it in any book or website.
A coworker provided me a very basic and easy-to-understand definition: the phone number example for a multi active satellite.
We have a "Person" Hub and a multi-active "PhoneNumber" satellite connected to it. In the PhoneNumber satellite, there is a home and work phone number for each person. The home phone number may not change for 17 years, but the work phone number may change e.g. every two years.
The multi-active satellite preserves "multi-active history" for both phone numbers, for every person in the Person Hub.
Please correct me if I have understood this example wrong!

In TFS, every Team is associated with Project. Also every Team has their own work items. Team can have more than one area path, similarly one area path can be associated with more than one team.
So I need to create a report where we can get all Work Items associated with specific team.
Is there any way to get that mapping from any table from TFS databases or using REST API?
No such report by default. You can add a custom field to represent teams in your organization, you can reconfigure the agile planning tools and pages to support your teams and decouple assignment to teams and area paths.
Detailed steps, you can follow MSDN article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn144940.aspx
I have a android game designed by me. I want to release it to play store and want to know the name, phone number, mail id and score of the highest scorer at the end of day. How to link the game to google server to make this happen?
This article is a good place to start:

It outlines everything you need to start work on a server-side to a mobile game, including high score tables.

Is there a way to programmatically find out what country a user's phone is from when my app is opened on their phone?
I have an app I'm developing that can use lbs/kg units and if someone's phone is from the United States, I want to enable lbs by default and if the phone is from anywhere else, I want to display kg by default. (note that I don't need think checking where they are connecting from would be accurate because it could be that they are travelling or using another country's proxy server).
You can't get the country, but you should be able to guess it from:
the Locale of the device - see How to get "region & language" settings in WP7 via code?
or from the TimeZone of the device - see TimeZoneInfo.Local - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timezoneinfo.local.aspx
Personally, I wouldn't worry about the travelling scenario - travelling Americans purchasing your app represents a very small percentage of your downloads.
You could also use the GPS to get their current position, then use the Bing API to get the country from the lat/long.
Using the GPS involves it's own headaches like adding a Privacy Policy, but from Stuart's answer, it seems like the most accurate way.
System.Globalization.RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.DisplayName;
Why not just look at System.Globalization.RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.IsMetric?
There is an example here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/system.globalization.regioninfo.ismetric(v=vs.105).aspx
Given a cell number in the US (although other countries would be nice too), how to I go about figuring out the provider? Are there any web services that you know of or ETL dumps that I can use to get this information?
Ideally this component would accept a cell phone number and return a service provider.
MX Telecom looks most promising. They have an XML interface detailed here.
Another nice one (pay to get CSV file)
Here is a list of other service providers.
Before local number portability, you could determine carrier by the 3 digits after area code. This no longer works for people who "took their numbers with them" when they switched carriers.
I dont know about other countries. Here is a list of codes for Indian mobile phones. I am not aware of any webservice available. But this can stored in a DB and referred.
