Is Earncashto a Scam? Review of the Influencer Network Website
EarncashTo located at earncashto.com, which claims online users can get paid referring friends, testing free apps and games, is an untrustworthy website. The website claims it was founded in 2016 by Bernie Estes, but their domain name, earncashto.com, was registered less than a month ago on 2021-05-27. Also, they claim they are based in the Netherlands, but their domain name was registered by someone in Saint Kitts and Nevis.

The Crown Season 2 first review: Storm clouds gather over Queen and Prince Philip's marriage
**** The stormclouds are gathering for the Queen and Prince Philip when Netflix's lavish Royal drama The Crown returns for […]
By Adam Sherwin
Updated July 17, 2020 10:28 am
The marriage between Claire Foy's Queen Elizabeth and Matt Smith's Philip is on the rocks in The Crown Season 2 (DESWILLIE/Netflix/PA Wire)
The stormclouds are gathering for the Queen and Prince Philip when Netflix's lavish Royal drama The Crown returns for its second run.
In contrast to this week's Platinum anniversary celebrations, a thunderstorm greets Golden-Globe winner Claire Foy's monarch as she prepares for a post-tour "reunion" showdown with Prince Philip in Portugal.
A ravenous press pack is feeding on rumours that their marriage is on the rocks.
https://youtu.be/ME2umFQ_xBA
If the first series of the £100m drama established the Queen as a politically-astute figurehead and a working mother, the latest episodes are darker, exploring the much-debated question of Prince Philip's faithfulness.
The fractured marriage plays out against the backdrop of the Suez crisis as Britain's humiliation on the world stage ends the nation's pretensions to great power status.
Foy's Queen is sulky over Duke rumours
Foy is understandably sulky during the season premiere. Having sent Matt Smith's Duke of Edinburgh on a five-month around-the-world trip she is tortured by suggestions of his infidelity.
She torments herself with a visit to the ballet to see Galina Ulanova, the Russian Bolshoi sensation who may have caught Philip's eye.
The Queen and Prince Philip perform their public duties under a cloud (Stuart Hendry/Netflix/PA Wire)
There's sister Margaret's excessive drinking to deal with but Elizabeth must put aside domestic strife to keep a fretful eye over the unfolding Suez crisis.
'Illegal' invasion warning
Jeremy Northam's Anthony Eden is a cocky figure who believes it is the right of Old Etonians to rule the world.
When Foreign Office minister Anthony Nutting warns that it would be disastrous to launch an "illegal" intervention in Egypt without the support of a UN coalition, the parallels with Tony Blair's Iraq misadventure couldn't be clearer.
A scene in which the slippery Eden is outsmarted by the Queen at their weekly meeting echoes The Audience, writer Peter Morgan's hit play starring Dame Helen Mirren.
What is Philip's price to make the Royal marriage work? (Alex Bailey/Netflix/PA Wire)
Viewers will savour the pitch-perfect Foy's performance before she hands over the tiara to Olivia Colman for Elizabeth II's "middle-age".
At her summit with Philip, the Queen asks her husband what his "price" is for making the union work, since divorce is not an option.
The sophomore season of The Crown will reveal the answer.
: The Crown Season 2 premieres on Netflix on December 8

ELLWOOD CITY - It must be some kind of tradition - following its victory against Mohawk on Thursday at Del-Mar Golf Course, the Lincoln High School boys golf team tried to tackle coach Sam Barry Jr.
But first, they had to take down something else - a playoff spot in Division II, Section 5.
The Wolverines (10-4) clinched a postseason berth with a season-low round of 199 on the back nine. Sophomore Stephen Johns was medalist with a 37, while senior Rory Stewart drained a putt on the 18th hole to wrap up a 39 in a 199-227 triumph against Mohawk.
Senior Albert Geniviva carded a 40, Anthony Varrati, 41; and senior David Marshall, 42, for the winners. Mike Pope's 40 led the Mohawk scorecards.
"We were feeling pretty strong going into the match," said Varrati, a sophomore, after Ellwood City completed a two-day sweep to earn a playoff trip next week at a site and time to be determined. The Wolverines defeated Union, 200-236, on Wednesday in a makeup of a rainout at Del-Mar.
"We didn't feel that much pressure and after I had some trouble on the first hole, I came through on the next hole," Varrati added.
"We've been playing the kind of golf we thought we could have played all season," Stewart said. "I had a few bad drives that I had to overcome, but the whole team has been overcoming some rough times. We bounced back after losing to Laurel and Riverside."
For coaches Barry and Bill Baker, this will mark Ellwood City's fourth playoff appearance in the past five seasons.
"I'm very proud of these guys, but I don't know if proud is the word," Barry said. "It's such an honor to coach players who try their best every time out. To see them all come together, you really can't ask for much more as a coach."
"We just had to go out and play our game," senior Ross Wyszomierski said. "You have to try your best and have faith in all the members of your team."
"Knowing we're going to the playoffs - it just feels really good right now," Varrati said.
The Lincoln High School boys golf team, along with Riverside, competes in the Tri-County championships at New Castle Country Club starting at 9 a.m. today.

Earlier today, Northam appeared on WTOP's "Ask The Governor," and defended the Repeal Act, a proposed bill that would allow for abortion up until the moment of childbirth. "If a mother is in labor . . . the infant would be delivered," Northam said during the interview. "The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and mother."

New Year's resolutions for better health
Many people are thinking about some changes they might like to make in the upcoming New Year. Some of those resolutions include reaching a better health condition by exercising and losing excess weight, or quitting tobacco products for example.
According to research by the University of Pennsylvania, just a week after making resolutions 23 percent of individuals already gave up and 60 percent gave up after six months. Whatever change people might like to make, it always requires a lot of commitment, patience and strength.
Some people say that it takes 30 days to make a habit or break a habit, but research shows that in most cases individuals need more time than that. When setting goals, people should be realistic because it is always much better to overachieve a goal than not achieving it at all, which can be discouraging. Research also shows that changes made by taking smaller steps can end up permanent because they actually become part of a new lifestyle.
Losing weight can be one of the most difficult things for many people. It also requires a long period of time that can be months, or even a year or more. It can be easier to keep on track by setting short-term (weekly) goals that are realistic, such as eating more fruits and non-starchy vegetables daily, rather than making a promise to lose three pounds in a week.
In addition, people who reward themselves are more successful and stay on track. Rewards should not be something that could make a person fall back into the bad habits, such as a box of chocolate, but something that the person would enjoy such as a manicure, a pedicure or buying a new outfit for example.
Some people might accomplish their goal more easily if they join local programs such as the "Health for Life" weight loss and wellness program in Ashtabula. The program includes free passes to local fitness centers, biweekly educational meetings and weight measurements, motivational workouts and prizes for weight loss and participation for as little as a $20 participation fee.
Registration and weigh-ins are underway at Premiere Fitness, 2231 Lake Ave, Ashtabula or at ACMC Outpatient Rehabilitation Services, 2515 Lake Ave., Ashtabula. The biweekly meetings begin noon Jan. 9 and again at 6 p.m. next door to Premier Fitness.
For more information about this program, call Premiere Fitness at (440) 998-3488.

Q: Trajectory similarity: calculate distance between two trajectories I have two sets of coordinates.
And I'd like to calculate the distance between two trajectories by Python.
Especially, I'd like to get the point which is the most distant.
How can I calculate ? Or are there any libraries or tools something like that to calculate easily ?


tips. The photographs unfortunately are not true to my efforts and success. However, there was one problem - GC, my husband, pointed out that the Ada could have been cooked a little more for the pradaman to flow down instead of having to chew it before swallowing.
The recipe is an exact copy of Palada Pradaman provided at the back of Double Horse Rice Palada pack, but for a smaller portion.
1. Wash ada and soak it in boiling hot water for 20 minutes. Drain water and keep aside. In a deep cooking pan add soaked ada, 250 ml milk and 250 ml water and cook till ada becomes soft. Add more water if required. When ada is soft, add remaining 500 ml milk and 200g sugar. Stir well and cook over low flame until milk reduces to half. When pradaman thickens, it develops a light rose colour. Remove from flame, add cardamon powder and clarified butter.


Looking to study cooperation in action, a team of Harvard social scientists opted to forgo the all too familiar practice of hiring hordes of undergraduates and Cambridge residents as test subjects.
Researchers have used the Mechanical Turk to organize volunteers through the internet to perform basic tasks for pay, such as text transcription and caption composition for online search engines.
Now social scientists like Rand and his team have begun to use the site to hire volunteers for surveys and tests. Compared to a traditional lab, the Mechanical Turk can perform the same studies for a tenth of the time and cost, according to Rand.
"It's really changing the face of social science studies," he said.
In the study, the research team assigned 800 volunteers an equal number of points to trade. Players could donate their points to their small group or keep the points for themselves.
After each trial, researchers told players about the choices of other group members.
In a paper published Nov. 14 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team, which also included Professor Nicholas A. Christakis, concluded that dynamic social networks promote cooperation and friendliness.
Generous players tended to remain within networks, while selfish players often became isolated.
The threat of social alienation discourages selfish behavior, while cooperative behavior yields social inclusion, the study found.
After exclusion from a group, volunteers who had originally refused to donate their points were twice as eager to cooperate, the study found.
"We know that cooperation is very important for maintaining any society," Arbesman said. But this study, he said, took a unique approach by examining how cooperation within groups changes over time.
The experiment is among the first to explore the cooperation of large groups within a dynamic social environment, where participants have the power to choose to maintain or abandon certain relationships, Rand said.
Experimenters said the ability of participants to rework their ties to each other within the study emulated a more natural paradigm.
It's "advantageous to be cooperative," Rand said.

30 Years Of "You Are Not Alone," 30 Years of SASC
Melissa Embury March 6, 2019
Features0 Comments 0
This year, the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region (SASC) is turning 30. The trauma-informed, intersectional organization has been tirelessly disrupting violence against women since they opened in 1989, creating more and more programs to handle a growing wait list of sexual assault survivors reaching out for support.
"One of the most impactful things we can do, as individuals, is to believe survivors and believe people when they tell us their experiences," explained TK Pritchard, the public education manager for the Waterloo Male Allies program.
"It's not easy for people to share their stories, and when someone shares their story with us, we really have to honour that, and recognize that someone has shared something really important and just believe them and listen to them," said Pritchard.
The feminist grassroots community organization of SASC began in 1989 when a few community members came forward with a small donation of $1,000 to get the centre started. It was a donation of airtime from an answering service that same year that started their 24-hour support line.
Two months later, the massacre at École Polytechnique occurred, which was a catalyst for shining a light on the issue.
"That really shifted things and the conversation changed," said Pritchard. "We've seen lots of shifts in trends in the public dialogue and that was a moment when there was more of a recognition of violence against women."
Receiving a generous $30,000 donation from Mutual Life Canada made it possible to hire their first staff person. Over the years, they have grown from 1 to 15 people on staff and added multiple programs to serve the growing needs of survivors.
The 24-hour immediate crisis and intervention support line is now staffed with a comprehensively trained team of volunteers. Their Family Court Support program was created to help women who have experienced abuse as they navigate the legal system. They have also added Nicky Carswell in a new role to combat human trafficking in Canada, as it's mostly a domestic problem, with 70 per cent of it taking place here, in Ontario.
Pritchard heads the Male Allies program — one of the public education programs which facilitates various workshops, training and youth programming in schools, community groups, and workplaces for men and boys.
Since the centre was first formed, they've been observing how trends affect their services. Things that come out publicly in the media always inspire survivors to reach out.
"A lot of people pinpoint #MeToo as a shift in our times, but the reality is that we started to see a big increase in the demand for our services starting with the Jian Ghomeshi case and Bill Cosby, and as those really came into the public eye, then we saw that raise more calls to our support line, and more requests for counselling," Pritchard said.
"When things like that happen in the news we get a spike in our calls. It just dominates the news cycle, and for a survivor, seeing those messages over and over again can be really impactful."
The centre is continually looking for ways to be able to provide more services to survivors. Pritchard said that the demands for their services exceed what they're able to provide.
"We have a significant waitlist. It's three times worse than what it's ever been at its longest. Over the last few years, we have seen a steady rise. The reality is that there are a ton of people in our community that need support," he explained.
SASC would like for people to understand that there are many ways to support the centre.
"Whether it's telling people about the centre, becoming a monthly donor, coming out to some of our events, or volunteering for the support line or gala — it's helpful for us to share the message and get it out there."
Beyond that, there is a need for public education. The centre hopes to see the community sharing what they want to see in the central health curriculum with local school boards and representatives, and making sure that their voices are being heard.
Pritchard also stresses that talking to young people and people of all ages about consent and healthy relationships is a major priority.
"Our tagline for the centre is "You Are Not Alone"," Pritchard said, "because we recognize how isolating these experiences can feel for people."
SASC hopes to continue to be a place of community and support for people so that they don't experience that same type of isolation. Their mission is to be a part of creating a world without sexual violence and oppression for all.
They will be celebrating their 30th anniversary with their annual Signature Fundraising Gala in the fall, which usually sells out quickly. Last year's gala had a 1940s theme with live music, entertainment and a silent auction.

The (Civil) Society Column
How to be a better white person right now
By Jessica Leigh Lebos
I'VE BEEN telling myself that I've just been taking my time unpacking the knapsack.
I'm still learning the vocabulary, I say to the lady in the mirror, the one who keeps asking when I'm going to get serious.
I don't want to say anything idiotic or insulting—or worse, I whine when she arches her eyebrow and crosses her arms.
I'm worried it's only going to get more uncomfortable, I admit quietly as she nods.
For many socially conscious white folk, facing the undeniable rot of racism in 2016 is an awkward task. We fervently believe that we are all equal, so we worry that pointing out race in everyday conversation is not only rude but racist itself.
We prepare careful rhetoric only to have it fall apart into a middle school name-calling match with some asshole from high school in the comments section of a post about the new Ghostbusters.
Myself, I've been sorta hoping to avoid this conundrum by coasting on my street cred, as if hanging around the intersection of feminism and social justice and general otherness for so long might excuse me from owning the ways racial socialization affects and infects my world.
Maybe I've been too self-absorbed or lazy to undertake a rigorous self-examination of such, which is sort of like the moral version of a coffee enema: Cleansing in the long run but shitty while it's happening.
Of course that's the irony—and maybe the entire point: I have the prerogative of ducking difficult conversations with myself and others about racism indefinitely because my skin is white.
(It's also dimply and wrinkly in some unfortunate places, though no one ever got pulled over for driving with a waddle.)
But the lady in the mirror isn't having it for another minute. You need to get over yourself, and fast, she's saying. And don't come back 'til you do.
Let me be clear: this isn't an invitation to debate whether white privilege is real or parse statistics about how police shoot all kinds of people, not just unarmed black men with their hands up. If you still have questions about the problem at hand, I gently invite you to consider that enema.
This is the tip of a personal and necessary exploration about how to be a better ally to people of color, especially in my own community, where the effects of our national narrative of institutional racism are reflected in our educational and economic, political and policing realities.
Savannah is also a place with its own distinct stories—from its largely unacknowledged slave history to its foundation of cooperative collaboration between its black and white citizens as well as the daily experiences of violence, poverty and prejudice that so many continue to suffer.
While there are still too many who bark about their backwards-ass hate online and off, most of the people I know truly believe in equal rights and access for all humans regardless of race, religion, gender, sexuality, age or ability. We want to help achieve that. And yet sometimes we become paralyzed in our hand-wringing over correctness or else we're so dang enthusiastic we end up hijacking the whole room.
Or maybe we keep quiet on the fringes, because we're afraid of what dismantling the white supremacy in our power structures might mean for ourselves.
Honesty and humility is required as we stand up in this work to level the field for all players and create an anti-racist, multi-racial platform for social change. As an awkward white lady with good intentions, I humbly share what I've learned thus far.
1. Now that we're standing, sit down.
Even if we have experienced injustice and prejudice in other ways, it is not the same systemic oppression suffered by people of color in this country, reminded the organizers of a workshop hosted at Quolab last week titled The Role of White People in the Movement at this Time. The "movement" is the struggle to achieve freedom and equality for everyone, and right now we're going to focus on black people, because there is some serious emergency shit going down.
Based on materials available through the Atlanta-based LGBT activist hive Southerners on New Ground (SONG), the workshop was a crash course on how to create connections, respect those expressing their anger and frustration and hold a space without imposing ourselves.
This doesn't mean that we will never get a turn at the mic again. It just means other people who have waited a long time to be heard are having theirs.
Listen and learn, read and share.
2. Check our assumptions. In the latest season of Orange is the New Black, hippie liberal Susu assumes the internationally educated Poussey is an inner city crack baby—a telling example of how "do-goody" white folk can foist racist stereotypes even as they believe their hearts are pure.
"I think that's a big part of where we get stuck—we do so little self-reflection in this society the delusion that we are bias-free is part of the problem," says local writer and former political consultant Omkari Williams, who recently penned an essay about growing up in a highly academic family with roots in the Caribbean and the difference between identifying as black and African American.
While Black Lives Matter wields a unifying message, can we please remember that not all people of color share the same experience or opinions? Not every black man is a felon and not every brown child needs charity—these are stereotypes that get perpetuated even by those trying to "help." It doesn't.
"When we assign a label to someone, it is for our own comfort and ease, because it means we can stop thinking," stresses Omkari.
So let's keep thinking and be extra sure that we're not assigning imaginary, damaging stories to others.
3. Don't unfriend the racists. In a widely shared post, writer Jasmine Banks Brown points out that while it may be easy for us to click away the hate, people of color have no such luxury in real life.
The poison seems to be coming in waterfalls these days, but when we shut down those conversations we miss opportunities to stand at the front lines and engage the actual problem. Yeah, it's uncomfortable, awful even—and not even close to the malevolence black and brown people endure all damn day.
A new friend, Gwendolyn Glover, recently introduced me to the work of anti-racist activist Tim Wise, who admonishes that we must go further and meet the irrationality with calm and kindness.
"You can't organize people if you don't love them," writes Wise in White Like Me: Reflections on Race from Privileged Son. "And however hard it can be to love the racists you come in contact with, doing so is the first obligation of a white antiracist."
Whew, this is a hard one. If we can call filling someone's inbox with clips from comedian W. Kamau Bell "love," I guess I can start there.
4. Show up. While we don't need to add our voices at this moment (see #1), we can show our support for the movement with our warm bodies.
Our presence might be appreciated next Sunday, Aug. 7 at Forsyth Park, where Linda Wilder Bryan has organized a back-to-school picnic, giveaway and tribute to her slain son, Lawrence, whose 2015 murder has not been solved.
Anyone seeking to understand things from a young black man's point of view will want to be at Savannah Perceptions: A Real & Uncensored Dialogue on Race, Culture, History & Crime, hosted by Solidarity in Savannah at the W.W. Law Regional Center on Aug 18.
If you've finished watching Stranger Things and are looking for something else to do, the Savannah Lives Matter Facebook page is an excellent resource to stay updated on other events where allies are welcome to learn, witness and celebrate.
Also, let's remember that the most dominant color in this culture is green. Several local business owners have learned the hard way lately that their online bigotry is visible to all, giving us opportunity to wield our greatest power: Where to spend—and not spend—our money. The Urban Savannah Chamber of Commerce is an excellent place to start.
5. Don't overthink it. We white allies can turn ourselves inside out trying to say and do the right thing and end up sucking at it anyway. But being afraid of looking like a hypocrite or a honky isn't a valid excuse.
We are going to make mistakes. They might even be big ones. (Boy, do we know about that around here.)
But there is work to do and a movement to elevate. The only way forward is to own our missteps, ask for forgiveness and stand shoulder to shoulder as we rise together.

Q: RMarkdown - Creat Column Headers using DT I want to create some tables in a Rmd using DT::datatable.
At the moment my table looks like this:

But I would prefer to have a header above the colums, so it would say "Pre" on the first ligne and M and SD for Pre under it. This is an example:

Can someone help?

A: If you did want to use DT::datatable, you could try a solution as suggested in this answer here. This involves creating a "sketch" of the HTML table to be filled with data cells.
library(DT)
library(htmltools)

cont <- withTags(
  table(
    class = "display",
    thead(
      tr(
        th(colspan = 2, "Pre"),
        th(colspan = 2, "Post")
      ),
      tr(
        th("M"),
        th("SD"),
        th("M"),
        th("SD")
      ),
    )
  )
)

datatable(df, rownames = FALSE, container = cont,
          options = list(
            columnDefs = list(
              list(targets = "_all", className = "dt-center")
            )
          ))

Data
df <- structure(list(Pre_M = c(60.23, 59.96, 60.48), Pre_SD = c(8.02,
7.98, 8.04), Post_M = c(55.15, 56.48, 53.91), Post_SD = c(9.94,
10.16, 9.55)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -3L))

A: If the interactivity of the DT::datatable is not important to you (as the brevity of the table suggests), I would recommend using KableExtra::kable which can easily handle such headers in both HTML and Latex: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/kableExtra/vignettes/awesome_table_in_html.html.

Sylvie Octobre est une sociologue spécialisée dans les pratiques culturelles des enfants et adolescents.

Biographie
Sylvie Octobre étudie au CELSA-Paris IV puis prépare un DESS en gestion des institutions culturelles à université à l'université Paris-Dauphine.

En 1996, elle devient titulaire d'un doctorat de l'EHESS (avec pour directeur Pierre-Michel Menger) portant sur les transformations de la profession de conservateur de musée.

Elle est chargée d'études au département des Études, de la Prospective et des Statistiques (DEPS) du ministère de la Culture et de la Communication.

Titulaire depuis 2014 d'une habilitation à diriger des recherches de l'Université Paris IV, préparée sous la direction d'Olivier Galland, elle est chercheuse associée au Centre Max Weber-ENS Lyon/CNRS, France.

Elle est qualifiée aux fonctions de professeur des universités en 2015. Elle est actuellement chargée de cours à Sciences Po Paris.

Elle est rédactrice en chef, avec Vincenzo Cicchelli, de la revue de langue anglaise Youth and Globalization et coéditrice de la collection d'ouvrages Youth in a Global World.

Son domaine de spécialisation est la sociologie de la culture et plus spécialement des pratiques culturelles des jeunes. Outre l'exploitation des enquêtes longitudinales du ministère de la Culture, elle a dirigé et rédigé plusieurs ouvrages de référence sur les pratiques culturelles des enfants et adolescents, qui ont structuré ce champ d'étude en France. Elle s'intéresse particulièrement aux inégalités sociales et de genre dans ces pratiques, ainsi qu'à leur transmission et les changements induits par les outils numériques.

Elle se penche également sur les effets de la globalisation de la culture sur les répertoires culturels et les modes d'appropriation. Dans ce cadre, avec Vincenzo Cicchelli, elle s'est intéressée aux aspects culturels et esthétiques du cosmopolitisme, introduisant par exemple la notion d'« amateur cosmopolite ».

In view of our long experience of near-perfect freedom to move about as each might choose, some of us may not realize the limitations that confront people in many other parts of the world who might like to move toward something better. Many who might choose to enter the United States , peacefully observing our laws and paying their own way, are denied entry. Our community slogans now seem to read: "Welcome to all peaceful and productive newcomers—except foreigners." And a foreigner here is an individual who has crossed a special political line, supposedly which bounds "the land of the free"!
Those are matters we might ponder, but our honest answer to all of them is reflected in our actions—we'd rather ride in automobiles than in buggies. It would be foolish to try to buy an automobile or anything else in the free market, and at the same time deny any individual an opportunity to help produce those things we want.
Our domestic relationships would be harmed seriously by restraints upon man's freedom to migrate. But why shouldn't the same reasoning hold for our foreign relationships?
Fear No. 1: The "melting pot" might fail to assimilate newcomers. This notion has as little merit as the idea that a third-generation Yankee's digestive tract isn't capable of assimilating a bunch of carrots grown by a foreign-born Japanese or Italian vegetable gardener. The assimilation of a foreign-born person is accomplished when the immigrant willingly comes to America, paying his own way not only to get here but also after he arrives, and peacefully submitting to the laws and customs of his newly adopted country. Freedom to exchange goods and services voluntarily in the market place is the economic catalyst of the American "melting pot." Christian-like morality is the social catalyst—and if it has come to be in short supply among native Americans, the blame for that shortage should not be laid upon our immigrants.
Fear No. 2: The "wrong kind" of people might come to America. The danger that "a poorer class" might come from Asia or Africa or Southern and Eastern Europe and contaminate our society undoubtedly seems real to any person who thinks of himself as a member of a superior class or race. Such a person, like any good disciple of Marx, is assuming the existence of classes and is convinced that he is qualified to judge others and to sort them into these classes.
Perhaps what is feared is the importation of a new idea of the relationship between the individual and his government. If that has been our fear, it very well might have been justified. For America has been rapidly substituting a socialistic State control for the traditional system of private enterprise. But let us not mistake persons for ideas; the ideas are the root of the problem. Migration of persons is not a reliable measure of the flow of ideas.
Fear No. 3: Immigrants might deprive our own workers of jobs and depress the wage scale. The fear that immigrants might take the jobs of American workers is based on the fantasy that the number of jobs to be filled within our economy is strictly limited. Individuals still do—and undoubtedly always will—entertain unsatisfied desires for more and more goods and services, which industrious and ingenious individuals constantly are producing in response to opportunities. If there is freedom to think, to trade, and to move, then opportunities for new, creative jobs are not limited to the wilderness or a spot of idle land.
The fear that heavy immigration of workers would depress the wages of native workers is an outgrowth of socialist doctrine. Socialism is so concerned with consumption and "equitable distribution" that it neglects the source of production. It fails to recognize that there can be more and more to consume only if capital and tools are first produced to give leverage to the productive power of man.
Can we hope to explain the blessings of freedom to foreign people while we deny them the freedom to cross our boundaries? To advertise America as the "land of the free," and to pose as the world champion of freedom in the contest with communism, is hypocritical, if at the same time we deny the freedom of immigration as well as the freedom of trade. And we may be sure that our neighbors overseas are not blind to this hypocrisy.
A community operating on the competitive basis of the free market will welcome any willing newcomer for his potential productivity, whether he brings capital goods or merely a willingness to work. Capital and labor then attract each other, in a kind of growth that spells healthy progress and prosperity in that community. That principle seems to be well recognized and accepted by those who support the activities of a local chamber of commerce. Why do we not dare risk the same attitude as applied to national immigration policy?
Our collective abandonment of the economic system of the free market leaves for us the controlled communal life, where everyone wants to be a consumer without producing anything.
Our immigration policy merely reflects the existence of this serious internal problem in America . Our present policy toward immigrants is consistent with the rest of the controls over persons which inevitably go with national socialism. But the controlled human relationships within the "welfare state" are not consistent with freedom. Great Britain once thought she could deny freedom to American colonists. And now, her own people have traded their freedom for nationalized austerity. Even a "prosperous" modern America can ill afford traveling that same course. If we do, our community, too, will lose its capacity to attract newcomers. Then we wouldn't need an immigration policy. But who among us would want to remain in a community where opportunities no longer exist?

The space is located in the capital's city centre. Even during the initial site visit, its potential was visible despite its state at that time. The reconstructions over the years had separated the volume in its height into two smaller spaces. In the project half of the second level is removed, and its other part is transformed into a storage space, accessible through a ladder through the ceiling of the fitting room. This gives the client area a double height and the shop window a better appearance, and despite the small size of the store, it has great visibility in the urban fabric. With the mirror placed on one end of the space next to the wall with the shelves, an effect of doubling the amount of displayed items is achieved. The Streetаrt panel that hides the storage space on second level is separated by a deep gap from the walls and stands out as a separate hanging element contributing to the urban feel. The explosion safe authentic lightning adds to the industrial atmosphere of the space and in combination with the double height client area overcomes the psychological boundary of the small sized space.

I just like these kind of full of surprises and great ideas involved videos. Great work!
This is an amazing take over by my queen Korina does in this video really loved how messy she gets in this video, what a way to celebrate Korina's Bday bash I so wish I could be there to celebrate her special day I would give anything to make that happen.
Really hoping she has a takeover this year because I totally missed this and I bet this was so fun to watch!
So mad I missed this. It's very fun to see Korina's fun and daring side. It's free so don't pass this one up.
MV b-day takeover was awesome! Happy you made the top 5 and had such a great time, you earned it!
It was a hot Bday party! Korina being gorgeous as always; dancing; Human sunday. It was a lit takeover!
That was the best birthday bash I've ever been apart of.

Rifle softball's Kaitlyn Jackson signs with DII Adams State in Alamosa
Josh Carney
jcarney@postindependent.com
Coal Ridge senior Kaitlyn Jackson, a member of the Rifle Bears softball team the last four years, signed her national letter of intent to Adams State University Wednesday at Coal Ridge High School. Jackson is joined by her parents Amber and Jimmy.
Following an illustrious career for Rifle High School softball, Coal Ridge senior Kaitlyn Jackson, the daughter of Jimmy and Amber Jackson, is heading to Adams State University in Alamosa, where she'll join a Grizzlies program under the direction of head coach Dervin Taylor.
Jackson verbally committed to Adams State last October after Taylor offered her a scholarship at a camp in Alamosa. The Coal Ridge senior, who played for Rifle due to Coal Ridge not offering a softball program, signed her National Letter of Intent Wednesday afternoon at Coal Ridge High School in front of family and friends.
"Signing was kind of a relief," Jackson said. "It took a lot of stress off of not knowing if I wanted to go there or not. It's always been my dream to play college softball, so I'm just thankful for the opportunity."
During her senior season for the Bears, Jackson was the 4A WSL Pitcher of the Year for the second straight year. She also added four new school records this year for innings pitched (138.2), wins (17, tied for third in the state), strikeouts (169, sixth in state), and six home runs hit on the season, which tied a Rifle school record for a single season.
On the mound in her senior season, Jackson finished with a 2.88 ERA (12th in state), while hitting .452 with 32 RBIs, 12 doubles, three triples and a .945 slugging percentage. Jackson's 17 wins also helped set a school record for team wins in a season.
For her career, Jackson finished with a 3.19 ERA and 54 wins in 482.2 innings pitched. She added 523 career strikeouts and held opponents to a .253 batting average. Offensively, Jackson finished with a .368 batting average, 84 hits, 35 runs scored, 84 runs batted in, 29 doubles, five triples and 13 home runs. She also had a .462 on-base percentage for the Bears over four seasons.
"I really enjoyed my senior year with Rifle," Jackson said. "We got along great as a team, and it was fun to set school records and win all those games."
Now, Jackson will head to Alamosa to help the Grizzlies, which went 19-35 (14-22 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) during the 2018 season. According to Jackson, Taylor said she'd come in as a freshman and pitch, but if a position in the field opens up he'll try and get her consistent at-bats, as well.
"I'll be throwing innings early on for Adams State," Jackson said. "They're bringing me on as a pitcher, but he said if they have other positions open I will play there with my bat, which is nice knowing I'll see playing time right away. But they said I'd be a big part of the rotation. Pitching takes a toll on the body, and coach Taylor said he's going to need a deep, experienced rotation. I'm looking forward to becoming part of that rotation."
Outside of softball, Jackson hasn't decided on a career path in terms of school studies. She recently wanted to get into nursing but isn't quite sure how she fits into the program at Adams State. For now, she is keeping her options open.

Your legal obligations
The EPA is responsible for the control of stormwater pollution through the Environment Protection Act 1993 (EP Act). It provides the regulatory framework to protect the South Australian environment and is supported through a suite of subordinate legislation and regulatory tools including the Environment Protection (Water Quality) Policy 2015 (Water Quality Policy).
The Act places a general obligation on you to take all reasonable and practicable measures to minimise environmental harm caused by pollution and promotes ecologically sustainable development.
The Water Quality Policy is second-level legislation and offers more specific protection for the state's waters. It prohibits the pollution of the stormwater system and our natural waters. The policy has general obligations which every person, business and industry must comply with as well as specific obligations for particular activities.
Clauses 10 and 11 of the Water Quality Policy states that a person must not discharge pollutants listed in Schedules 2 and 3 of the Policy into any waters. Furthermore, those pollutants known as Class 1 and listed in Schedule 2 must not be deposited onto land where they are likely to enter waters.
The definition of waters includes the stormwater system. This means that listed pollutants cannot be placed in the stormwater system or on land where they may enter the stormwater system.
Failure to comply with these obligations may result in a $300 fine, an Environment Protection Order or a prosecution.
The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Codes of Practice look more specifically at preventing stormwater pollutions and are linked to the Water Quality Policy and are enforceable by the issuing of an Environment Protection order under the Environment Protection Act 1993.

After overcoming some minor hurdles, Tweed was able to catch the Tegan and Sara show at the Bowery Wednesday eve for some good fun and even better music.
The evening began on a fateful note: Tim was sick, unable to attend the show he was so looking forward to. He had been suffering from something the Doctor could not quite identify and we all thought had cleared up. Guess not. Thankfully, one of our other writers here at Tweed was available to accompany me on my journey downtown to the Bowery.
We were a little late given D-train antics, arriving in the middle of The Honorary Title's set. Truly an eclectic group, I wish I had caught the whole thing. The four individuals on stage were so assorted they looked as if they may have never met outside the context of being in a band! Along with their humbling on-stage repartee, it added merely to their charm. I made an observation: "a noteworthy act for sure." Soon after, the ladies of the evening took the stage.
These girls don't just wear their heart on their sleeves—they carve it out of felt and hang it from the back of the stage. Amassed with their lyrics, their on-stage performance truly is quite awe-inspiring. Dare I say it's a twin-thing, Tegan and Sara hit every note, played every chord, took every breath right on beat—one of the tightest live musical acts I have seen in quite some time. The connectivity the two appeared to share on-stage was, for lack of a better word, awesome and may very well cause a bit of envy on behalf of anyone who has ever tried to play in a band.
Call me a sap, but the highlight of my evening was "Where Does the Good Go." While Tegan strummed the opening riff along with bass player Chris Carlson, Sara recounted a humorous anecdote about her grandfather. This is not your usual rock star banter but something more quaint and casual, offering a bit of a window into the lives of an intriguing duo, opening a door to the fans that truly makes the music more lucid, more real.
By the end of the night, I wish I could have said I was a veteran fan of the band, that I sang, or at least hummed along to the old songs, rocked out with the girl next to me even though I didn't know her name. But I can't. Unfortunately, So Jealous was the first album I had heard from Tegan and Sara (call it an ignorant- American thing). Nonetheless, the dedication and effort the fans put into the show was such a breath of fresh air when compared to the typical, shoe-gazing apathy one usually finds in the Lower East Side. Tegan and Sara fans know the words and aren't afraid to sing along, to yell out something to the band, to dance and to have a good time. This says a lot about Tegan and Sara, their ability to motivate, to connect and to give the fans a chance to be a part of the music. That in itself is a notable feat—it is noble, enviable and just a great quality to find in a band, a great band indeed.
Keep it posted to Tweed for our up-coming interview with the band, Tegan and Sara.

Cesenatico is one of the most interesting parts of the Riviera Romagnola. With its colorful houses of the fishermen, the harbour and the Piazzetta of the Preserves, you can visit easily in one day. The Maritime Museum is one of the places to visit, both to better understand the history of Cesenatico, but also of this part of the coast so fishing and marine life. To Cesenatico there is also the Museum of the Marshes, wanted to after the death of the young cyclist, the beautiful sandy beaches and the skyscraper of the city. Visiting Cesenatico is without a doubt one of the most interesting activities to do, and must during a stay at Hotel Brasilia. During the day, it is also recommended for a stop in one of the restaurants in the harbour channel or in a kiosk of sandwiches on the waterfront.
Only 30 km far from Cesenatico, there is Ravenna, a city historically among the most important of Romagna, thanks to its rich artistic heritage, with 8 monuments in the World Heritage list of UNESCO. The beautiful basilicas and ancient mausoleums, spectacular mosaics and fascinating curiosities including the tomb of Dante Alighieri near the basilica of San Francesco in the centre of the city.
A fascinating place and rich in history, San Leo is a picturesque village perched on a mountain overlooking the valleys of the marecchia valley in romagna's hinterland. At the top of the village stands the Fort which in the past served as a military fortress, today it has been converted as the seat of the museo di San Leo. From the fortress you can enjoy a breathtaking view with the look that opens up to the sea, to a vision of the hinterland of romagna, which not everyone knows. Other places of interest are the bell tower and the Cathedral, full of old world charm.
Considered the oldest Republic in the world, San Marino is a destination not to lose sight of the particularity of the place: an independent state perched on Mount Titano with an ancient history and culture. Since 2008, the historic center and Mount Titano have been included by UNESCO among the heritages of humanity. In addition to the history and ancient monuments that you can visit, San Marino is also famous for shopping, thanks to the many outlets, malls and craft shops to suit all tastes.
Cesena is an important city of art with a lively town centre bounded by the old city walls, still today almost intact. Among the main attractions worth a visit is the Biblioteca Malatestiana, the first european civic library, the Bonci Theatre, one of the most appreciated of Italy. A time the central city of the domain of the Malatesta dynasty, includes numerous churches and palaces of great historical and artistic interest, among which stands out the Rocca Malatestiana. In the surroundings we recommend a visit to the benedictine Abbey of the Mount.
Known as the most elegant and exclusive seaside resorts of the Riviera Romagnola, brought to light by famous nightclubs, frequented by celebrities and not only, that enliven the hot summer nights of the Riviera. In the centre there are many great restaurants, countless boutiques offering brands of high-fashion and not only. Milano Marittima is not only the nightlife but it also offers many services for families with children, including beaches and amusement parks for all the needs.
Cervia and the salt
Cervia is a town known mainly for the production of salt. Visit no less of the salt warehouses that are home to the Salt Museum, in a charming setting. In the centre of the city are the Tower of San Michele, the Duomo, the Municipality and the Piazza Garibaldi. The historic city center is lively and often animated by markets, concerts and famous events such as the Marriage of the Sea, the Feast of St. Lawrence, and the Feast of the Rooms. Nearby is the ancient Pine forest and the thermal Baths, a modern, particularly well-known for the mud treatments of the lagoon and for the healing water of the Salt pans of Cervia.

Q: Matrix representation of rotation proof? C is for Cos, S is for sine

To find the matrix representation, we just apply R n to each of
the standard basis vectors, as in Equation 3.3, and then place the resulting vectors into the rows of a matrix (as in Equation 3.4). The
final result is:
How do I get this representation?

A: The generators of rotations in three dimensions are,
$$
 \Sigma_x = \left( \begin{array}{ccc}
\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & -1 & 0
\end{array} \right)
\qquad
 \Sigma_y = \left( \begin{array}{ccc}
\ 0 & 0 & -1 \\
0 & 0 & 0 \\
1 & 0 & 0
\end{array} \right)
\qquad
 \Sigma_z = \left( \begin{array}{ccc}
\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\
-1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{array} \right)
$$
To rotate about an axis $\vec{n} = (n_x,n_y,n_z)$ by an angle $\theta$ we apply the exponential map to $\theta \ \hat{n}\cdot \vec{\Sigma}$.
$$ R^\vec{n}(\theta) = \exp( \theta \  \hat{n} \cdot \Sigma )$$
Its possible to show that this results in,
$$ R^\vec{n}(\theta) = \mathbb{I} + (\hat{n}\cdot \vec{\Sigma} )^2 -(\hat{n}\cdot \vec{\Sigma} )^2 \cos(\theta) + (\hat{n}\cdot \vec{\Sigma})\sin(\theta),$$
this can be done using the fact that $(\hat{n}\cdot \Sigma)^3 = - \hat{n}\cdot\Sigma$ or by just working in the eigen basis of the matrix.
As an example consider $\vec{n} = \hat{z}$ then $\hat{n}\cdot \vec{\Sigma} = \Sigma_z$ and the expression reduces to,
$$ R^\hat{z}(\theta) = \mathbb{I} + (\Sigma_z )^2 -(\Sigma_z )^2 \cos(\theta) + (\Sigma_z)\sin(\theta)$$
$$  =
\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1
\end{array} \right) +
\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
\ -1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & -1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{array} \right) -
\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
\ -1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & -1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{array} \right) \cos(\theta) +
\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\
-1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{array} \right)\sin(\theta)$$
$$=
\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
\ \cos(\theta) & \sin(\theta) & 0 \\
-\sin(\theta) & \cos(\theta) & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1
\end{array} \right)
$$
The expression for the general rotation can be obtained by placing the $\hat{n}\cdot \vec{\Sigma} = \frac{n_x}{\| \vec{n} \| } \Sigma_x + \frac{n_y}{\| \vec{n} \| } \Sigma_y + \frac{n_z}{\| \vec{n} \| } \Sigma_z $ into the equation and doing the matrix arithmetic involved.


Understanding a company's financial statements is step one in evaluating investment potential. There are three primary statements—the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flow—each providing a different perspective on a company's financial well-being. This article looks at the first of these documents, the balance sheet.
A popular definition of the balance sheet is that it is a snapshot, a picture of a company's financial status at one single point in time. This is often expressed by the formula that gives the balance sheet its name: Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity. Quite simply, what a company owns must be paid for, i.e., "balanced" by moneys invested or borrowed.
Assets are what the company owns—cash, property, equipment, inventory, etc. Liabilities are what it owes—debt, rent, payroll, bills from its suppliers. Shareholder equity, sometimes called stock equity, would be what's left, the company's net worth.
Beneath those three banners are a variety of accounts or line items that provide more detailed information. These vary by industry and by company, but generally speaking, you can expect to see the following categories: Current assets comprise anything that could be converted to cash within a year. Long-term assets are those not intended for sale within a year, such as property, plant, and equipment, or PPE; some financial assets; and goodwill. Goodwill expresses the value of a company in excess of its physical assets or actual book value. A superior reputation and a well-known name may not be tangible, but they are valuable assets nonetheless; when a company is sold, the purchaser pays a premium for these assets, which appear on the balance sheet as goodwill.
The breakdown on the other side of the equation is much the same. Current liabilities are those that can be discharged within a year, such as accounts payable. Long-term debt comprises financial obligations that extend beyond one year. Shareholder's equity, which may be either common or preferred stock, is the last major category.
As simple as the balance sheet may appear, there is a lot more to know about how those values are determined. A good example is depreciation. Depreciation is a way of determining the changing value of an asset over its useful life. It tells us what the asset is worth at a given point in time, for, just like one's car, a company's assets decrease in value as they age. This is accounted for on the balance sheet like an expense. Assets can be depreciated over different lengths of time, depending on their anticipated life, and there are different methods of depreciation depending on the type of asset, legal requirements, and other factors. For instance, one could depreciate an asset by a fixed percentage each year, or one could depreciate it using a method called mark to market.
Why is this important? Because it is what ultimately defines what a company is worth; this is expressed as net worth, book value, or shareholder equity. If a company uses a fixed percentage basis for depreciation, one needs to recognize that the book value of its assets as they appear on the balance sheet may not be what someone will actually pay for them, called the assets' net realizable value.
Marking to market (also called fair value accounting) is a method of depreciation that does recognize this. It computes depreciated value based on what assets are worth on the open market. This means the depreciated value can go up or down over time. Originally developed to reflect changing values of futures contracts on a daily basis, marking to market aims to show the real-world value of a company's assets and liabilities.
Even this very brief foray into balance sheet definitions and explanations illustrates that there can be a lot of complexity and nuance beneath the line items of the balance sheet. That's why discussions of the balance sheet emphasize the importance of reading the footnotes. There is a wealth of information there, some simply offering more detail than the line items of the balance sheet can provide—like accounting methods—or correcting errors in previous statements.
Some footnotes, however, reveal information that, frankly, the company does not want to draw attention to, for instance, debt that has been transferred to a joint venture or other entity so that it will not appear as a liability on the balance sheet. Obviously, something like that can significantly alter one's assessment of the company's risk and/or its investment potential. Because there are few standards or requirements for footnotes, they can be filled with hard-to-understand legal or technical jargon, purposeful obfuscation, and general confusion. Or they may dismiss a serious issue with just a brief paragraph. In short, read carefully!
The balance sheet is an essential tool for understanding a company's financial position and a treasure trove of information … if you know how to read it.
Who analyzes balance sheets and why?
The balance sheet is a go-to document for anyone wishing to understand a company's financial condition. Investors use it to assess a company's potential. Loan officers want to understand the company's current debt profile and whether it is a good loan candidate. Suppliers look to see if this is a company that will pay its bills. Government agencies could scrutinize the balance sheet for tax or compliance purposes, for instance.
How does the balance sheet differ from an income statement or statement of cash flow?
As stated above, the balance sheet is a picture of a company's net worth (assets, liabilities, and equity) at one point in time. By comparison, the income statement tells how profitable the company is (revenues minus expenditures) over a specified time period. A statement of cash flow, as the name implies, looks specifically at inflows and outflows of cash over a specified time period, recognizing that the day a sale is made or equipment is purchased may well not be the day revenue for the sale is received or the bill for the new equipment is paid.

You begin to sweat and try to come up with a romantic version of saying you met online, through a dating app.
Admit it, we're all in love with the idea of love and how people in love met. But, I'm here to tell you that I found my partner online and I couldn't be more proud of that fact.
When people ask me how Matthew and I met, I proudly say we met online, because, without the help of Bumble, I probably wouldn't have met the guy of my dreams.
I don't get sweaty and I don't try to come up with a more romantic version of our meeting. Our story is romantic just the way it is. Even if it includes swiping right.
Yes, I swiped right on my boyfriend and I'd like to take a second to thank the founders of Bumble for bringing this man into my life.
To rewind a bit, I've always been in love with love. It may seem strange because I've had my fair share of unloving moments. My parents separated when I was a young girl and my mom ran away with us, leaving me fatherless for my developing years.
I never saw my parents in love. Growing up they had separate bedrooms and separate lives.
Even though I never saw love first-hand, I've couldn't wait to have it one day. I've always wanted to give my all to someone I love. To nurture them. To support them. To encourage them. To see their dreams come to. To walk through life with them.
I've always wanted it but I never thought I would find it, especially not online.
When I grew up, online dating was for older, divorced women. It eventually changed to form a hookup culture... something I didn't want to take part in.
But, something told me to try Bumble, an online dating app where the woman has to talk first. The thing with Bumble is that if the woman doesn't speak with within 24 hours the match deletes. How intimidating!
I had the moment of clarity to download the app, so I did. I clicked open the app and started swiping. I came across Matthew pretty quickly and swiped right on him (this meant I was interested in him). I thought he was an attractive, witty man with dreams and aspirations.
Matthew and I matched, which meant I had 24 hours to get the courage to speak to him. I was nervous. I didn't send him anything.
The 24 hours were ticking by quickly and the chance for Matthew and me to connect was running out.
But, a tricky addition to Bumble is that a guy can extend one match by 24 hours and that's exactly what Matthew did for me.
It showed that he wanted to speak with me. He was interested and although he couldn't speak to me first, the first move was made by him.
I never did match with anyone else on Bumble and I stopped using the app the next day once I got Matthew's number.
Through our first initial conversations, I could tell that Matthew was a man of his word. He showed his kind, caring heart to me and I knew he was special.
We went on our first date at the Bean Scene on Bernard and then for pizza at Tree Brewing. We both left thinking to ourselves how well that first date went. I was smitten.
The dating continued throughout January with a New Year's party, a film festival, ice skating, mini putt and some delicious dinners made by Matthew.
Fast forward to today, July 25th. It's been seven months since Matthew came into my life and my heart has grown seven times bigger than it was before.
He has shown me that I deserve the love and affection that he gives me. He leads the way and supports my dreams and encourages me to chase after the things I want to accomplish in life. He reaches for my hand while we're walking, he provides for me by cooking amazing meals and he gives me the support I've always looked for in someone.
Matthew checks off every single item on my make-believe "ideal partner list". He's a hard working, career focused, sensible, funny and caring man. He puts his family and friends first and he considers my love languages and has filled my life with such positivity, adventure, and love since we became a pair.
If it wasn't for Bumble and the switch for it to be acceptable to meet your person online, I wouldn't have Matthew in my life, and I couldn't imagine a life without him now.
So, thank you Bumble for matching Matthew and me.
If you're thinking of trying online dating, but you're nervous because of all the horror stories, let my love story be your inspiration. There are good men out there and just because you meet them online doesn't diminish your love story at all.
Download an app, put your heart out there and maybe you'll find your "Matthew" too.
