Q: Expression.Call with generic types The class tester is trying to call sum on a generic queryable.  It breaks on the MethodCallExpression.  So I'm not sure if the line below will actually run either.
I've also tried to break out getting the MethodInfo in a separate call but it always returns null.  So I believe finding the "Sum" function with the arguments I have supplied is the trouble.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
    class test
    {
        public int sumMe { get; set; }
    }
    [TestMethod]
    public void foo()
    {

        var list = new List<test>();
        list.Add(new test() { sumMe = 1 });
        list.Add(new test() { sumMe = 2 });
        list.Add(new test() { sumMe = 3 });

        tester.run(list.AsQueryable(), "sumMe");

I have a ten year old bench warrant for possession of stolen property in Washington state. Does statute of limitations apply. How do I go about taking care of this?
A statute of limitations in this case would only help you if you had not yet been charged with a crime (generally speaking, a felony case can be brought about 7 to 10 years after the matter / incident happens. But, that pertains to the actual charges against the supposed perpetrator. Once the charges have actually been brought against a person, the statute of limitations no longer applies and if the case progresses to a point where there is a warrant out for a missed court date or other reason, the state can continue on with the charges once they actually catch up to that perpetrator who had the warrant out for their arrest). In your case, the state of Washington can proceed with the charges against you if you are actually arrested and then this old warrant comes up in the review of any matters outstanding against you.
If you no longer reside in Washington, you still have the problem of the warrant because any arrest or even getting pulled over for a traffic ticket can result in your being arrested on this outstanding warrant and getting involuntarily transported back to Washington to face these matters in court. Your best bet at this point is to hire a local attorney there in the Washington county where the warrant is outstanding and the lawyer can request that the court remove the warrant and set up a new court date in which the case can be heard by the Washington Court. The only way the court will remove the warrant is either by your appearance or the appearance of an attorney in the court and then a new court date will be set up so that the charges can be further heard at a later date (that is when you and/or your attorney can determine the extent of the charges and see if you can work out a deal where the matter can be handled with probation and a fine rather than a jail sentence. You can also push for a trial because after so many years it will be genuinely difficult for the prosecution to get all of the evidence against you together and witnesses to come to court to testify against you -- but those are angles that you explore with your attorney once the matter has been reopened in the court).
I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions. If not, can you please press a positive rating above in the ratings section so I will be paid for my time assisting you? I am paid nothing for answering your questions unless you press the middle star or the fourth or fifth star to the right of the middle star above. Doing so will not cost you any additional money -- it simply acts as the trigger to Just Answer to pay me for my time for assisting you today. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!


Magical Armor - "So you are looking for armor are you? Well take at look at what we have in store. We have cloth armor, light armor, medium armor, heavy armor. Anything that you want we have it."
Common Armor - "Not everyone can afford the best and that is ok. We have a wide selection of common woven cloth armor, common light hide armor, common medium chainmail armor, and common heavy plate armor. Take a look around and see if one of these sets suits your needs."
Uncommon Armor - "Uncommon armor can really protect you in the heat of battle. It is great protection especially when you are under 25th level. Anything better usually sells out right away. We have a wide selection of uncommon woven cloth armor, uncommon light hide armor, uncommon medium chainmail armor, and uncommon heavy plate armor. Take a look around and see if one of these sets is what you are looking for."
Rare Armor - Rare armor flies off the shelves. The auction house is the best place to look for it but it can be expensive and it really only needed when you reach levels above 25th. Of course it is always nice to have since each piece has unique powers in addition to traditional uses.
Unique Armor - "These pieces are one of a kind. You might find one at the auction house but these items are usually heirlooms that sell for a small fortune. Your best bet it to find on on an adventure."

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations
On April 30, 2012, FEMA published in the Federal Register a proposed flood hazard determination notice that contained an erroneous table. This notice provides corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information published at 77 FR 25498. The table provided here represents the proposed flood hazard determinations and communities affected for Harrison County, Texas, and Incorporated Areas.
On April 11, 2012, FEMA published in the Federal Register a proposed flood hazard determination notice that contained an erroneous table. This notice provides corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information published at 77 FR 21792. The table provided here represents the proposed flood hazard determinations and communities affected for Gregg County, Texas, and Incorporated Areas.
Final Flood Hazard Determinations
Flood hazard determinations, which may include additions or modifications of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or regulatory floodways on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports have been made final for the communities listed in the table below. The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that a community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS report are used by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for buildings and the contents of those buildings.
Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations
This notice lists communities where the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR Part 65). The LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request; National Flood Insurance Program Claim Forms
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on a revision of a currently approved information collection. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks comments concerning the collection of information related to the flood insurance claims process.
New or modified Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, and/or the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities. The flood hazard determinations modified by each LOMR will be used to calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their contents.
Final Flood Elevation Determinations
Type: Rule
Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs are made final for the communities listed below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management measures that each community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
Suspension of Community Eligibility
This rule identifies communities where the sale of flood insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that are scheduled for suspension on the effective dates listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the floodplain management requirements of the program. If the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the community has adopted the required floodplain management measures prior to the effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension will not occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in the Federal Register on a subsequent date. Also, information identifying the current participation status of a community can be obtained from FEMA's Community Status Book (CSB). The CSB is available at http:// www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm.

Bitcoin is a new currency that was created in 2009 by an unknown person using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. Transactions are made with no middle men – meaning, no banks! Bitcoin can be used to book hotels on Expedia, shop for furniture on Overstock and buy Xbox games. But much of the hype is about getting rich by trading it. The price of bitcoin skyrocketed into the thousands in 2017.
NEM — Unlike most other cryptocurrencies that utilize a Proof of Work algorithm, it uses Proof of Importance, which requires users to already possess certain amounts of coins in order to be able to get new ones. It encourages users to spend their funds and tracks the transactions to determine how important a particular user is to the overall NEM network.
David Golumbia says that the ideas influencing bitcoin advocates emerge from right-wing extremist movements such as the Liberty Lobby and the John Birch Society and their anti-Central Bank rhetoric, or, more recently, Ron Paul and Tea Party-style libertarianism.[138] Steve Bannon, who owns a "good stake" in bitcoin, considers it to be "disruptive populism. It takes control back from central authorities. It's revolutionary."[139]
Transactions that occur through the use and exchange of these altcoins are independent from formal banking systems, and therefore can make tax evasion simpler for individuals. Since charting taxable income is based upon what a recipient reports to the revenue service, it becomes extremely difficult to account for transactions made using existing cryptocurrencies, a mode of exchange that is complex and difficult to track.[66]
But while cryptocurrencies are more used for payment, its use as a means of speculation and a store of value dwarfs the payment aspects. Cryptocurrencies gave birth to an incredibly dynamic, fast-growing market for investors and speculators. Exchanges like Okcoin, Poloniex or shapeshift enables the trade of hundreds of cryptocurrencies. Their daily trade volume exceeds that of major European stock exchanges.
A wallet stores the information necessary to transact bitcoins. While wallets are often described as a place to hold[98] or store bitcoins, due to the nature of the system, bitcoins are inseparable from the blockchain transaction ledger. A wallet is more correctly defined as something that "stores the digital credentials for your bitcoin holdings" and allows one to access (and spend) them.[7]:ch. 1, glossary Bitcoin uses public-key cryptography, in which two cryptographic keys, one public and one private, are generated.[99] At its most basic, a wallet is a collection of these keys.

^ Mooney, Chris; Mufson, Steven (19 December 2017). "Why the bitcoin craze is using up so much energy". The Washington Post. Archived from the original on 9 January 2018. Retrieved 11 January 2018. several experts told The Washington Post that bitcoin probably uses as much as 1 to 4 gigawatts, or billion watts, of electricity, roughly the output of one to three nuclear reactors.
In the blockchain, bitcoins are registered to bitcoin addresses. Creating a bitcoin address requires nothing more than picking a random valid private key and computing the corresponding bitcoin address. This computation can be done in a split second. But the reverse, computing the private key of a given bitcoin address, is mathematically unfeasible. Users can tell others or make public a bitcoin address without compromising its corresponding private key. Moreover, the number of valid private keys is so vast that it is extremely unlikely someone will compute a key-pair that is already in use and has funds. The vast number of valid private keys makes it unfeasible that brute force could be used to compromise a private key. To be able to spend their bitcoins, the owner must know the corresponding private key and digitally sign the transaction. The network verifies the signature using the public key; the private key is never revealed.[7]:ch. 5
Every 2,016 blocks (approximately 14 days at roughly 10 min per block), the difficulty target is adjusted based on the network's recent performance, with the aim of keeping the average time between new blocks at ten minutes. In this way the system automatically adapts to the total amount of mining power on the network.[7]:ch. 8 Between 1 March 2014 and 1 March 2015, the average number of nonces miners had to try before creating a new block increased from 16.4 quintillion to 200.5 quintillion.[91]
In cryptocurrency networks, mining is a validation of transactions. For this effort, successful miners obtain new cryptocurrency as a reward. The reward decreases transaction fees by creating a complementary incentive to contribute to the processing power of the network. The rate of generating hashes, which validate any transaction, has been increased by the use of specialized machines such as FPGAs and ASICs running complex hashing algorithms like SHA-256 and Scrypt.[30] This arms race for cheaper-yet-efficient machines has been on since the day the first cryptocurrency, bitcoin, was introduced in 2009.[30] With more people venturing into the world of virtual currency, generating hashes for this validation has become far more complex over the years, with miners having to invest large sums of money on employing multiple high performance ASICs. Thus the value of the currency obtained for finding a hash often does not justify the amount of money spent on setting up the machines, the cooling facilities to overcome the enormous amount of heat they produce, and the electricity required to run them.[30][31]

10 Things You Didn't Know About Medical Assisting
If you're looking for a hands-on career in healthcare, then medical assisting could be right for you.
Medical assistants are an increasingly important part of the healthcare team as hospitals and healthcare facilities strive to accommodate the needs of a growing patient population. If you're looking for a hands-on career in healthcare, then medical assisting could be right for you.
Check out some of the benefits of a medical assisting career:
1. Medical assistants are in demand
Medical assisting is one of the fastest-growing healthcare careers today. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates employment for medical assistants will grow by as much as 29 percent through 2026, adding as many as 183,900 new jobs. Read more about the average medical assisting salary across the United States and find an estimate in your state.
According to the BLS, employment growth in the healthcare sector is driven largely by the aging baby boomer population, which will continue to drive demand for preventative health services in years to come. Physicians will increasingly rely on medical assistants for clinical and administrative support so they can serve more patients.
2. There are different types of medical assistant
Not all medical assistants have the same duties and responsibilities. Some medical assistants provide administrative support, while others provide clinical support or a mix of the two. In an administrative role, you might be tasked with greeting patients, updating insurance information and managing billing for medical services. These roles require attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
In a clinical role, you will work alongside physicians and registered nurses (RNs) in providing primary care for patients. Your duties could include assisting with examinations; explaining medical procedures and medications to patients; and recording vital signs.
3. They play a key role in patient care
Medical assistants are often the first and last person a patient interacts with during a medical visit. Part of their job is to help put patients at ease and ensure a smooth and stress-free appointment. For example, a medical assistant can help a patient feel more comfortable about an upcoming procedure by translating complex medical language into terms patients can better understand.
"It's very important that our employees are able to make their patients feel comfortable as they deliver excellent care," says Shawn Powers, CEO of Baptist Community Health Services (BCHS), one of Herzing's clinical partners in New Orleans. "We look for medical assisting graduates that already have the skills they need to cultivate relationships and build trust with our patients, as well as support the doctor in all aspects of patient care."
4. Successful medical assistants have strong interpersonal skills
In addition to a good bedside manner, medical assistants need strong interpersonal skills to work effectively with physicians, nurses, and other members of the healthcare team. Whether you're working primarily in an administrative or clinical role, empathy, problem-solving, communication and collaboration are all key to your success.
5. The possibilities are endless
As a medical assistant, you can work in a variety of healthcare settings. Most medical assistants build their careers in general practice or specialty physicians' offices, while others might work in hospitals, long-term care, or outpatient clinics.
If you wish to incorporate both clinical and administrative duties into your daily work routine, you might enjoy working in a physician's office or smaller work environment where medical assistants often perform both functions.
6. It's a fast track to a healthcare career
You can earn a diploma in medical assisting and begin your career in as little as 10 to 12 months. Some medical assistants choose to advance their career with an associate's degree in medical assisting, which can be completed in as little as 16 months at Herzing University.
7. You can advance into nursing or other healthcare jobs
With experience, medical assistants can move into leadership roles, filling another vital healthcare workforce need. By advancing their education, they can become healthcare managers, healthcare administrators, nurses and more.
Herzing's medical assisting program prepares students for administrative and clinical roles in medical assisting, while providing a clear pathway for upward mobility. Graduates of Herzing's medical assisting program can apply credits toward bachelor's degrees in Healthcare Management, health information management, health sciences or one of Herzing's various nursing degree programs.
8. You can specialize based on your interests
Medical assistants who work at a hospital or large practice typically specialize in either clinical or administrative work as they gain experience. Other medical assistants may specialize depending on the type of office they work in. For example, a podiatric medical assistant would work alongside a podiatrist and could assist with X-rays, surgery, and more.
9. Certification and continued education is important
Certification is an important part of becoming a medical assistant. While your state might not require medical assistants to be certified, it can give you a competitive edge over other job candidates. After you have completed a degree or diploma program, you should consider sitting for the Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) and Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) exams.
Graduates of both Herzing's ASMAS and DMAS programs are prepared to sit for these exams.
10. It's a rewarding profession
"I chose to pursue a career in medical assisting because I wanted to make a difference in others' lives. I wanted to do something important," says Kelly Habig, a medical assisting graduate and current healthcare student at Herzing University.
Medical assistants might not be the first people you think of when it comes to the healthcare team, but they are indispensable and play a vital role in ensuring patients have a positive healthcare experience.

MENLO PARK — No need to leave Facebook. The social media site wants to become the go-to destination where people can order food deliveries, book appointments, find recommendations, purchase tickets and complete a wide range of daily tasks.
Moving beyond a social network where people keep in touch with their friends or consume news, Facebook says it's trying to make it easier for its 1.7 billion users to get things done, all with the help of their friends.
Instead of switching back and forth from multiple apps, users can complete these tasks directly on the social media site. Facebook has been partnering with multiple businesses to make this possible.
"We still find ourselves with this very time-consuming process of … navigating what and how to connect with our friends in the real world," Andrew Bosworth, Facebook's vice president of ads and business platform, said at a media event in San Francisco last week.
Releasing new features and expanding the availability of others, the company has been making a stronger push into e-commerce.
Facebook released a new tool that maps out recommendations provided by your friends. Photo provided by Facebook.
On Wednesday, Facebook released a new tool in the United States that allows users to ask their friends for recommendations. When friends suggest a restaurant or other business, the location of that place pops up on a map along with a link to the company's Facebook page.
Partnering with delivery.com and pizza delivery startup Slice, Facebook users can get food delivered by clicking on a "Start Order" button on a restaurant's Facebook page. They can also request an appointment with the help of MyTime, HomeAdvisor and other services or get a quote from a business. Working with Fandango, Ticketmaster and Eventbrite, Facebook users also can book movie or event tickets.
Facebook started making the features available nationwide on Wednesday.
The company earlier this month also rolled out a stand-alone app to discover events and a tool called "Marketplace" that lets users sell and buy items, similar to Craigslist. Last year, the tech firm launched a feature on Facebook Messenger so users could hail Lyft or Uber rides.
But Facebook still has to convince users that they should stay on Facebook instead of using apps such as Yelp, Foursquare, GrubHub, DoorDash and others that have additional features.
"Facebook really wants to be the conduit through which most people experience the internet and the world around them," said Debra Aho Williamson, an analyst with eMarketer.
At the same time, some businesses might be wary that Facebook could drive away traffic from their own websites or apps, she said. News outlets, for example, have been cautious about partnering with Facebook to publish faster and more interactive "Instant Articles" directly on the social media site because of some of these concerns.
Bosworth said that the company wants to build an "ecosystem" where partners can attract more customers through Facebook.
If the tools become popular, it also could help Facebook gather valuable data about their users' activities and attract more ad dollars.
The tech firm is not currently charging business fees for these products or targeting ads to users based on what businesses they recommend to their friends, Bosworth said.

This is a follow up to the Graphing - Adult Size vs. Newborn Size problem.
We've graphed the relationship between adult size and new born size in mammals and now it's time to analyze the relationship statistically.
This is a follow up to the Scientific Python 7 exercise.
Dr. Granger is interested in studying the factors controlling the size and carbon storage of shrubs. This research is part of a larger area of research trying to understand carbon storage by plants. She has conducted a small preliminary experiment looking at the effect of three different treatments on shrub volume at four different locations. She wants to conduct a preliminary analysis of these data to include in a grant proposal and she would like you to conduct the analysis for her (she might be a world renowned expert in carbon storage in plants, but she sure doesn't know much about computers). She has placed a data file on the web for you to download. She wants you to run an ANOVA to determine if the different experimental treatments lead to differences in shrub carbon.
Import the data using Pandas and print out the first few rows of the data using the .head() method.
Write a function to calculate the shrub carbon using a column of lengths, a column of widths and a column of heights, using the equation 1.8 + 2 * log(volume) where volume is the volume of the shrub. You'll need to use the numpy version of the log() function. Call the function to get a column of shrub carbons and then print out that column.
Use this function to get a column of carbons for all of the shrubs in the table and append that column to your existing dataframe using a command like data['carbon'] = get_shrub_carbons(lengths, widths, heights). Print out the entire dataframe.
Do an ANOVA to determine if the experiment has an influence on the shrub carbon and print out the results in a standard ANOVA table using anova_lm(). You can import anova_lm() using from statsmodels.stats.anova import anova_lm.
This is a follow up to the Scientific Python 1 and Graphing 1 problems.
We have previously compared the average masses of extant and extinct species on different continents to try to understand whether size has an influence on extinction in mammals. We've done this by looking at the means and by comparing the histograms for extinct and extant species, but we haven't done any statistics yet to actually test if the average sizes are different.
Perform either a two-sample t-test or an ANOVA (with only two categories they'll accomplish the same thing; if you're not very comfortable with statistics in general I'd recommend using the two-sample t-test) to compare the average sizes of the extinct and extant species in each continent.
Save the results as a csv file named size_comparison_results.csv, where the first column is the name of the continent, the second column is the average mass for the extant species, the third column is the average mass for the extinct species, and the fourth column is the p-value for whether or not they are different.


Flickers was launched on Wednesday, May 11th 2016 at the historic Roxy Theatre in Saskatoon, SK, Canada (2800 Kilometres from Hollywood).
There were two events. In the first 442 students from grade 4 to 7 filled the theatre for the launch. Watch the video. It really is nifty!
The second event was in the evening and open to the public. Here are pics from both events. Around six hundred people attended both events in total.

Q: Lie powers of a graded vector space and Klyachko's theorem Let $V$ be a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded vector space (aka super vector space) and $L(V)$ be the free $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded Lie algebra (aka super Lie algebra). The free super Lie algebra is also graded by the number of generators (the generators $V$ sit in degree 1, and the Lie bracket itself has degree zero in this sense). So it has a decomposition by degrees, $L(V) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty L^n(V)$. The homogeneous components $L^n(V)$ may be called (super) Lie powers of $V$ (by analogy with symmetric or alternating powers) and have an embedding $L^n(V) \subset V^{\otimes n}$, where the Lie (super)commutators are sent to tensor (super)commutators, $[a,b] = a\otimes b - (-)^{|a||b|} b \otimes a$.
Q: What is the $\mathrm{GL}(V)$-representation theoretic description of $L^n(V)$?
When $V$ is purely even (has no odd component), the question is answered by Klyachko's theorem (as explained in the answers to MO187545). So basically, I'm asking: What is the super Lie algebra analog of Klyachko's theorem? And what is a reference that clearly states it?

A: Let me work over $\mathbb{C}$ for simplicity. We have
$$L(V) \cong \bigoplus_{n\ge0} V^{\otimes n} \otimes_{S_n} \text{Lie}(n),$$
where $\text{Lie}(n)$ is the $n^{th}$ space of the Lie operad, with specific $S_n$ actions on $\text{Lie}(n)$ and $V^{\otimes n}$ to be precised below; this is, to be clear, true for any $V$, in great generality, and is a special case of a very general fact about free algebras over symmetric operads $O$, namely that they are given by
$$V \mapsto \bigoplus_{n \ge 0} V^{\otimes n} \otimes_{S_n} O(n).$$
This is Proposition 5.2.5 in Loday and Vallette's Algebraic Operads; unfortunately there it is only stated for vector spaces but the argument generalizes with no modifications to $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded vector spaces, $\mathbb{Z}$-graded vector spaces, or for that matter any cocomplete symmetric monoidal category (which, to be safe, includes the condition that tensor product is cocontinuous in each variable).
In the graded case, the action of $S_n$ on $V^{\otimes n}$ is by permutations with the Koszul sign, namely it is generated by the action
$$v_1 \otimes \cdots v_i \cdots v_j \cdots \otimes v_n \mapsto (-)^{|v_i||v_j|} v_1 \otimes \cdots v_j \cdots v_i \cdots \otimes v_n$$
of permutations $(i j)$ on products of homogeneous elements. Then, $\text{Lie}(n)$ is known to be isomorphic as an $S_n$-representation to the induced representation $\text{Ind}_{C_n}^{S_n} \chi$, where $C_n$ is the cyclic group of order $n$ generated by the cyclic permutation $c = (12\cdots n)$ and $\chi$ is its $1$-dimensional representation $c^k \mapsto e^{ \frac{ 2 \pi i k}{n} }$. This gives
$$\begin{eqnarray*} L^n(V) &\cong& V^{\otimes n} \otimes_{S_n} \text{Ind}_{C^n}^{S_n} \chi \\
 &\cong& V^{\otimes n} \otimes_{C_n} \chi \end{eqnarray*}.$$
This is equivalent to Klyachko's theorem in the purely even case, but stating it this way makes it clear that the graded case is taken care of by the action of $S_n$ on $V^{\otimes n}$. Explicitly, if $v_1 \otimes \dots \otimes v_n \in V^{\otimes n}$ and each $v_i$ is homogeneous of degree $|v_i|$ then the cyclic permutation which commutes $v_1$ past all the other vectors produces
$$(-1)^{|v_1|(|v_2| + \dots + |v_n|)} v_2 \otimes \dots \otimes v_n \otimes v_1.$$
For example if the $v_i$ are all odd then the sign is $(-1)^n$ which matches the sign of the $n$-cycle as a permutation in $S_n$.
I guess we can be even more specific as follows. If $V$ is purely even then Schur-Weyl duality gives
$$V^{\otimes n} \cong \bigoplus_{\lambda \vdash n} S_{\lambda}(V) \otimes M^{\lambda}$$
where $S_{\lambda}$ is a Schur functor and $M^{\lambda}$ is a Specht module. This gives that $V^{\otimes n} \otimes_{C_n} \chi$ is a sum of Schur functors where $S_{\lambda}$ appears with multiplicity $\dim M^{\lambda} \otimes_{C_n} \chi$. If $V$ is purely odd then $V^{\otimes n}$ is modified as an $S_n$-representation by the sign representation which has the effect of replacing every $M^{\lambda}$ with $M^{\lambda^T}$ where $\lambda^T$ is the conjugate partition (I forget what the standard notation for this is), or equivalently replacing every $S_{\lambda}$ with $S_{\lambda^T}$. And the general case is a free product of the purely even and purely odd cases.

A: I have found a more narrow reference. It deals quite specifically with my question (confirming Qiauchu Yuan's answer), as well as some generalizations thereof:

I was named Abhilash Chatadu after my late grand father Narayan Chatadu,I was brought up in kurnool district of andhrapradesh since my birth on 14th october 1992. My father was named Venkata Ramudu Chatadu who serves for the government as a bank employee. My mother is a homemaker and I have two adorable brothers named Naveen and Vamsi who still try to win me in arm wrestling. Right from my schooling days I was never at home for a long time due to the many mischievous things I did with my brothers & friends. So, my parents decided to join me in hostel far away from home.
In this pain I started learning how to be a person. Did well with my studies and I was selected as captain of our school's cricket team. Even though I achieved many things away from home, I really miss something else, its MY HOME. Even now I am writing this living far away from my home SYDNEY.
"I don't call it home i still call it missing home"
Last week, my mother wrote a letter to me describing how much did she miss me, I will never forget that letter which makes me feel laugh,cry everything. It starts like..
I am sorry. I am really sorry. I know I put you through lot of pain and still do you know that you mean the world to me?
I told you "I love you" constantly, daily, always, because I do. I love you.
I may not have been a perfect mom, but I tried to be.
I may not have disciplined you enough, or maybe I disciplined you too much. I don't really know. I know at times, I drove you nuts!
I sang to you, read to you, taught you. You were my boy, my precious boy.
I kept you safe. I tried to keep you happy always. I soothed you when you cried.

Q: Quotient Topology of Multiplication Map We have $f(x,y)=xy$ where $f:\mathbb{R}_{[-)} \times \mathbb{R}_{[-)} \to \mathbb{R}$.
What is the quotient topology?
I know that the topological basis in $\mathbb{R}_{[-)} \times \mathbb{R}_{[-)}$ consists of rectangles whose left and bottom are closed but right and top are open. I tried considering $f^{-1}((a,b))$ but that didn't really get me anywhere, and I'm not sure how to proceed.

A: As $\Bbb S^2$ has a finer topology than the standard Euclidean topology on the plane, and $f$ is Euclidean-Euclidean continuous, $\mathcal{T}_{\text{eucl}} \subseteq \mathcal{T}_q$ (the latter being the quotient topology being induced by $f$).
If putting the lower limit topology on $\Bbb R$ makes $f$ also continuous from the Sorgenfrey plane, then we'd already have that that topology too is a subset of $\mathcal{T}_q$.

Sichuan beckons power-hungry cryptocurrency miners to the home of the pandas with cheap and plentiful hydroelectricity
Cryptocurrency miners could increasingly be drawn to the Chinese province of Sichuan, potentially boosting trading demand for bitcoin from China, as the local government heeds a call by President Xi Jinping to step up blockchain development.
Xi told the Communist Party's Central Committee last week that China should expedite the development of blockchain technology and actively integrate it into its economy. And over the weekend, Jiang Yang, a former vice-chairman of top regulator China Securities Regulatory Commission, told a town hall meeting in Beijing tasked with steering the strategic development of the province that Sichuan should continue to tap cheap hydropower to support blockchain and digital currency development.
"Sichuan should study further about how the province's cheap hydropower resources can attract digital currency-related businesses," he told the conference, as reported by Sichuan Daily.
Cryptocurrency mining is an energy-intensive process and some companies are already taking advantage of Sichuan's cheaper electricity tariffs. The province, in south-western China, is blessed with a long rainy season, which starts in May and lasts about four to five months. As a result, the province is China's biggest producer of hydropower. Last year, it produced 78.2 gigawatts and exported 104 billion kilowatt hours (kWh), or 30 per cent of its total output, to other regions. A gigawatt can power 830,000 Chinese households for a year. There are 1 million kilowatts in a gigawatt.
In the absence of adequate infrastructure at some hydropower plants, opportunities to export excess output have been missed. An increase in cryptocurrency mining is expected to help absorb this excess capacity and potentially boost the local economy.
During the rainy season, Sichuan's electricity tariffs drop to as low as 2 US cents per kWh, according to a source, much cheaper than the 11 US cents reported in Guangzhou and Beijing, according to data provider CEIC.
Tariffs rise up to 4 US cents per kWh during the rest of the year, which is still very attractive for cryptocurrency miners, as energy bills amount to about 90 per cent of their operating costs.
Jiang told the conference China mined 70 per cent of the world's bitcoin, followed by India at 4 per cent and the United States at 1 per cent, attributing the country's lead to the availability of cheap hydropower.

He also asked the officials gathered to seek a breakthrough in the application of blockchain in finance. "In finance, the application of blockchain technology has been through digital currency, which today is primarily driven by bitcoin."
Bitcoin is the earliest and by far the most successful use of blockchain technology. And Xi's endorsement of blockchain is likely to reignite interest in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. This will, however, run counter to efforts by the National Development Reform Commission, China's main macroeconomic planning agency, this year to clamp down on bitcoin mining.
Trade in bitcoin is also expected to go up, as the miners need to cash out from the bitcoin rewards that they obtain from the mining process, to pay for their operational expenses, or to trade out of their bitcoin holdings in general, said Leon Liu, chief executive of retail cryptocurrency trading platform Bitkan.
But as the Chinese government has forbidden cryptocurrency trading platforms and exchanges since 2017, over the short term, this increased volume will continue to be traded through offshore exchanges, such as those in Hong Kong, industry players said.
Currently, there are 18 million bitcoin in circulation, according to research website CoinMarketCap. The bitcoin network is designed to have a maximum supply of 21 million bitcoin.
"Since President Xi's comments on blockchain last week, we have seen the volume of bitcoin traded through our platform surge by four times," said Liu, whose platform is linked with several cryptocurrency exchanges outside China.

The new survey of the West Virginia Senate race from Public Policy Polling (D) shows a serious danger for Democrats — with Republican businessman John Raese with a narrow lead against Dem Gov. Joe Manchin in the race to succeed the late Sen. Robert Byrd.
Manchin is the second most popular Governor PPP has polled on all year, behind only Bobby Jindal, with a 59/32 approval spread. He breaks almost even with Republicans as 42% of them approve of the job he's doing with just 44% disapproving. In a highly polarized political climate the list of politicians with that kind of crossover popularity is very short.
At the same time West Virginians couldn't be much more down on national Democrats. Barack Obama's approval rating in the state is just 30% with 64% of voters disapproving of him. Even within his own party barely half of voters, at 51%, like the job he's doing. Support from Republicans (91% disapproval) and independents (73% disapproval) is pretty much nonexistent.
Given the President's high degree of unpopularity it's no surprise that 54% of voters in the state want Republicans to control the next Congress with just 37% wanting the Democrats to stay in charge.

Transport for London (TfL) has announced the impending appointment of a new Director of Consulting. Helen Murphy will arrive at the organisation in June, having spent the past 12 years with international consultancy WSP.
The transport and infrastructure of London has come under intense scrutiny over the past few weeks. While the UK capital was recently identified as one of the world's most mobility-friendly cities in a study by Arthur D. Little, with urban mobility options found to be well above average, a second poll orchestrated by climate pressure group Greenpeace which also took into account safety and air-quality found the city to be among the worst.
London is in the midst of a transportation overhaul under the incumbent Mayor Sadiq Khan, however. The roll-out of further plans to boost its public transport share to the 40% mark, along with cycling from 2% to 6%, and a number of large number of "peer-to-peer" car-sharing "platforms" are all aimed at transforming the city's reputation.
As part of the Mayor's strategy of "pursuing opportunities to generate revenues to reinvest in the transport network", the TfL has confirmed the hire of expert Helen Murphy to head up its consulting wing. In her new role, Murphy will also lead efforts to export TfL's expertise from its ticketing systems and innovative services to the international transport market. Early estimates of this tactic suggest that the TfL could bring in revenues in the tens of millions.
Murphy will leave her long-time employer WSP to take up the position. The Canadian business provides management and consultancy services to the built and natural environment, and she has most recently been working for them as an Operations Director, having first joined in 2006.
In the 12 years since, Murphy has also spent time as a Technical Director in Sustainable Transport, during which she was responsible for the identification of opportunities, co-ordination of skills and delivery of sustainable transport projects in the UK. Her time with WSP has almost been uninterrupted, besides a short period with Clearway Consulting in Abu Dhabi, where she provided strategic transport and organisational change advice to federal and local government in Jordan, Kuwait, UAE and KSA.

Austin Blair (* 8. Februar 1818 in Caroline, Tompkins County, New York; † 6. August 1894 in Jackson, Michigan) war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker und von 1861 bis 1865 der 13. Gouverneur des Bundesstaates Michigan.

Frühe Jahre und politischer Aufstieg
Austin Blair besuchte zunächst das Cazenovia Seminary, das Hamilton College in Clinton und dann bis 1837 das Union College in Schenectady. Nach einem anschließenden Jurastudium in Oswego wurde er im Jahr 1841 als Rechtsanwalt zugelassen. Im Jahr 1842 zog er nach Eaton Rapids in Michigan, wo er als Anwalt arbeitete.

Sein erstes öffentliches Amt bekleidete Blair als Verwaltungsangestellter im Eaton County. In jener Zeit war er Mitglied der Whigs, für die er auch zwischen 1845 und 1849 im Repräsentantenhaus von Michigan saß. Im Jahr 1852 wurde er Bezirksstaatsanwalt im Jackson County. Blair war im Jahr 1854 einer der Mitbegründer der Republikanischen Partei. Zwischen 1855 und 1856 war er als Vertreter seiner Partei Mitglied des Senats von Michigan. Im Jahr 1860 war er Delegierter zur Republican National Convention, auf der Abraham Lincoln als Präsidentschaftskandidat nominiert wurde. Im gleichen Jahr wurde er zum neuen Gouverneur von Michigan gewählt.

Gouverneur und Kongressabgeordneter
Austin Blair trat seine neue Aufgabe am 2. Januar 1861 an. Nach einer Wiederwahl im Jahr 1862 konnte er bis zum 4. Januar 1865 im Amt bleiben. Fast seine gesamte Amtszeit wurde von den Ereignissen des Bürgerkrieges überschattet. Truppen mussten ausgehoben und ausgerüstet werden. Finanziert wurden diese Anstrengungen teilweise durch private Spenden von Bankern, Industriellen und anderen reichen Geschäftsleuten. Auch Blair selbst beteiligte sich an den Kriegsspenden. Der Gouverneur unterstützte die Kriegsanstrengungen der Bundesregierung rückhaltlos und mit vollem Einsatz. Er hat sogar die vorgegebenen Kontingente deutlich übertroffen. Auch die Industrie musste auf den Rüstungsbedarf umgestellt werden.

Nach dem Ende seiner Amtszeit blieb Blair politisch aktiv. Zwischen 1867 und 1873 war er Abgeordneter im US-Repräsentantenhaus. Dort war er Vorsitzender des Ausschusses für private Landansprüche (Committee on Private Land Claims) und von 1871 bis 1873 Vorsitzender der House Republican Conference. Ein späterer Versuch, noch einmal zum Gouverneur gewählt zu werden, war ebenso erfolglos wie seine Bemühungen, eine Richterstelle am Obersten Gerichtshof von Michigan zu erhalten. Blair war dann wieder als Anwalt tätig. Zwischen 1881 und 1889 saß er im Aufsichtsrat der University of Michigan. Er starb im Jahr 1894. Austin Blair war mit Sarah L. Ford verheiratet, mit der er vier Kinder hatte.

When I was in the hospital Tuesday for an emergency appendectomy, I found myself wishing over and over that I had thought to bring some wonderful brochures to pass out to everybody involved with my care. They're called "What should I Say, what should I Do When I Meet a Blind Person?" Why? Because only one person out of about a dozen I encountered hadn't the vaguest clue how to help me without insulting me. And I'm talking about people in the medical profession. They should know better. In the first place, it should have been noted on my chart that I was totally blind, so I wouldn't have to explain a dozen times why I needed help in finding the restroom, in signing the forms, or learning where things were in my hospital room. Thus, the PCA assigned to me for my post operative care had no clue that I couldn't see. We got off on the wrong foot, when she started talking to me in what I interpreted to be a cell phone voice, that is, with no connection to me, like she was making an announcement from the middle of the room. Using my name would have helped. I asked her if she was talking to me, and she answered in a rather snotty tone, "Well, yeah." When I asked her to show me how to work the TV, she said, "Basically, you just turn it on." She still didn't get it that I couldn't see. When she finally got it, it took the rest of the afternoon and the evening to convince her that I didn't need her help in the bathroom. She kept trying to push me in and make me turn around and sit down, when all I wanted to do was shut the door, so I could take care of business in there, by myself. I finally got her to let me shut the door, only to discover that she was still in there with me. I had to explain that it was only my eyes that don't work. I can go to the bathroom on my own. Then I tried to teach her the method of guiding a blind person by letting her hold onto your arm above the elbow. After the bathroom scene, I'm afraid I got a little short with her on the way back to my bed. She tried to steer me by pushing me ahead of her. I told her it makes no sense to put the blind person in front, especially when she's pushing an IV pole with the other hand. I had even more problems with the overnight PCA, who repeatedly asked my roommate if she needed anything, offered to bring her snacks and coffee, and kept stopping in to check to see if she was all right. This was all fine, except that she totally ignored me. I'd wait til I was sure she was finished administering care to my roommate, and then I'd ask if I could have some help too. If it weren't for the leg compressors they make you wear to keep blood clots from forming after surgery, and for the fact that I was connected to an IV pole, I would have just waited til the coast was clear and made my way across the room to the bathroom without help. I could have refilled my own water glass, if anybody had been smart enough to show me that they had provided a nifty water jug with a plastic straw attached. Of course, it was across the room, and it didn't occur to anybody to put it within my reach. So, there I was, pitifully asking for help, when my roommate never had to ask. The night nurse, whose real name is Joe, was the only person who had any common sense and compassion. He actually offered me a cup of tea. I felt like jumping out of bed and throwing my arms around him. He was an absolute angel. He kept asking me if there was anything else he could do to make me more comfortable. Maybe he was making up for the rudeness of the PCA.
What I learned through this nightmare was that no one should ever have to go to the hospital without an advocate. Yes, it might be inconvenient and boring for the friend or relative, but you really need someone to speak up on your behalf when you're not at the top of your game.
It was Monday night, and I considered not going to Toastmasters, because I had a bad stomach ache, which caused me to silently pant at times. I made it through the meeting, but as the night wore on, the pain increased, no matter what kind of medicine I tried. At 3:00 Tuesday morning, I made the call, and I wasn't a bit embarrassed. I knew this would warrant an emergency run to the hospital. I think I was pretty convincing, because as they wheeled me into the ER, I was delicately throwing up into a plastic bag. So much for dramatic entrances. After signing endless forms, being poked 3 or 4 times for a blood draw and the IV, and a cat scan, and about 9 hours of waiting, I was finally in line for the OR. I had to wait my turn, because my situation was urgent, but not emergent, as the appendix had not ruptured, but it was really ugly and had to come out asap. I didn't mind the wait though. As soon as they gave me an IV with medication for nausea and pain, I was in la la land, drifting in and out of sleep, but only for a few seconds at a time. As soon as I would notice that the hospital sounds were blurring together, and my chin was dropping, in would walk another person to merrily chirp that I had more forms to fill out and that it would be just another few hours to wait. I think I was asked the same questions 6 times that morning. "Are you allergic to any medications? Do you have any other conditions such as heart or lung? What is your date of birth? What medications do you take on a regular basis? Do you have someone here to help you?" Note, these are all important questions, and I get them. But why do they have to ask me the same questions at each level of getting closer to the operating room? Each time, the answers were entered into a computer. Don't they know how to share? Could there be some unnecessary spending in this sector of the medical process? And, here's one that puzzled me. Why would I be asked if I ever considered suicide, when I was there for an appendectomy? There must be some significance to this question, since I had to answer it twice. And both times, the answer was no. Was that the wrong answer?
I'll spare you the details of the surgery, except to say that the administering of the anesthetic sure has changed since I had my C-Sections dumty-dum years ago. One minute, you're chatting with the nurse, and the next second, it's all over. Time is a funny thing, when you're not there for part of it.
The post surgery experience was the most challenging to get through, particularly because of the lack of communication among hospital staff. Not only did they not share my date of birth and all that other stuff, but they also did not share the fact that I am blind. Now you'd think that that kind of information would be noted somewhere, at least on the page that says I'm not going to try to commit suicide. Part two of my journey through my hospital stay will be posted on Friday.


April has been a month of variety.
Things started off with a look back at PAX East convention that was held at the end of March in Boston. This convention marked an important convention in PAX history being not only as the first PAX of the east-coast but also being the first PAX outside of Seattle.
A deeper path was taken with some discussion on the benefits of having a positive attitude. While the idea of a "positive" attitude is often misunderstood, we see that there are indeed benefits to thinking positively.
A peak into one of the methods used in effective inter-personal communications – a hidden jewel that is often underrated but can produce great results when used properly. Who knew that just how you word things can make a big impact.
Back to back reviews of the adventure series starring Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman on their motorcycles as they traverse Asia from west to east and follow up by traversing Africa from North to South.
Apparently, conquering the world's largest continent was not enough of for everyone's favorite English duo. Pushing the envelope of modern adventure, Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman continue their motorcycle escapades in the television series "Long Way Down".This time, the lines drawn on the map lead from the northern tip of Scotland to the southernmost coast of South Africa. Three years after their first adventure, "Long Way Down" takes on fourteen of the African countries. That's right. I said fourteen.
"Adventure" is one of those interesting words. It really means something different to everyone. There are adventure movies, adventure books, and adventure sports, and then there are adventure toys and adventure games. Each of these carrying a different definition and with each definition a different interpretation. At some point in history, maybe when fewer and fewer discoveries were being made, adventure has become an adjective and not a noun. Most recently, I had the pleasure of coming across what I believe is a genuine adventure, noun, not adjective.
