Q: Find points on curve $r=2\sin\theta$ where the tangent line is parallel to the ray $\theta = \pi/4$ I was thinking to convert to cartesian coordinates and then find when the slope of the tangent line is $1$, but I get a messy equation $2\cos^2\theta -2\sin^2\theta=4\sin^2\theta\cos\theta$
I was wondering if there was an easy way as it is hard to get values from this.
Edit: The equation ends up simplifying to $\tan(2\theta) = 1$, but for future reference is this the best method?

A: The curve is $\alpha(\theta)=(2sin{\theta}\cos{\theta},2\sin{\theta}\sin{\theta})$. The velocity vector is $\alpha'(\theta)=(2\cos{2\theta},2\sin{2\theta})$. Now we have to find all points so that this vector is proportional to $(1,1)$.
$\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{8}$ or $\theta=\dfrac{5\pi}{8}$

A: This is the equation of the circle of center $(0,1)$ and radius $1$.
$$r = 2\sin(\theta) \iff r = 2(\frac{y}{r}) \iff r^2 = 2y \iff x^2 + y^2 = 2y \iff x^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1$$
Differentiate $x^2 + y^2 = 2y$ with respect to $x$..

New Zealand on Saturday scripted yet another thumping win in the 2022 T20 World Cup to further strengthen their position atop in Group 1 of the Super 12 stage both with their points and net run rate. New Zealand bowlers had wrapped up the game within the powerplay itself after Glenn Philips' magnificent century in Sydney. The experience of Trent Boult and Tim Southee saw New Zealand reduce Sri Lanka to five down for just 24 runs in 6.1 overs. It was only a matter of time before Sri Lanka had succumbed after the early onslaught and was eventually folded for just 102 runs.
With the big win, New Zealand edged closer to the semi-finals with five points from three games and subsequently piled up trouble on England and Australia. New Zealand will next face England on November 1 at the Gabba and Ireland on November 4 at the Adelaide Oval in their last two group matches. If they can win one more, the Kane Williamson-led side will be through to the semis for the second consecutive time in the T20 World Cup.
The match that could potentially decide the fate of Group 1 would be one between England and New Zealand. If Buttler's men can emerge on top in the must-win clash, they will have the advantage of ending things on a high in terms of NRR when they take on Sri Lanka in their final match. For Australia, they need to win both their matches - against two lowest-ranked teams in the group, Ireland and Afghanistan - but on a bigger margin to deny England the advantage.

Dancers for future stars will cut a rug for a good cause
Eric Wildstein
ewildstein@gastongazette.com
They're stepping away from their jobs and onto the ballroom dance floor.
Eight local "celebrities" have spent the last several months learning the foxtrot, waltz and other traditional ballroom dances. They'll put their fancy footwork to the test at the seventh annual Dancing for Future Stars fundraiser at the Gaston Country Club in Gastonia.
"People just love seeing people that they know from the community getting out there and dancing," said Anna Furr, chief operating officer at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Gaston. "It's always entertaining." The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Gaston hosts the fundraiser.
Each celebrity is paired with a professional dancer in the competition. Teams will perform two numbers, a ballroom dance followed by a freestyle selection.
Teams are practicing their steps at the Metropolitan Ballroom dance studio in Charlotte. Most of the amateur dancers admit they have little to no formal experience. But it's not holding them back.
"They have put their heart and soul into these dances," said Furr. "All of them are reaching outside of their box of comfort."
Three judges will critique their performances, including Gaston County Sheriff Alan Cloninger. Honors will be awarded for the most money raised and highest dance scores.
Kids from the Boys & Girls Clubs' three Gaston locations will also perform a choreographed dance routine.
It's the club's largest annual fundraiser. Last year's competition raised $325,000, according to Furr. The money comes from ticket sales, sponsorships and donations.
It goes toward programming, meals and staffing to serve the club's 900 members. She says the club's membership has nearly tripled since the first Dancing for Future Stars fundraiser.
"Without this money we would not be able to open the doors every single day to such a large number of children," she said. "This money lets us do Boys & Girls Club work every single day."
What: Boys & Girls Club of Greater Gaston's Dancing for the Future Stars fundraiser.
When: 6 p.m. March 12
Where: Gaston Country Club
Cost: General admission tickets $150
To purchase: Call the Boys & Girls Club at 7-4-864-6171

How just three words could save your life
Alabama tornado outbreak kills 23, including four children
Digital Writers
Tuesday, March 5th 2019, 5:23 pm - At least 23 dead as severe storm system, tornadoes hit the U.S. southeast.
At least 23 deaths have been reported amid a damaging tornado outbreak that struck the southeastern United States on Sunday afternoon.
"Unfortunately our toll, as far as fatalities, does stand at 23 at the current time," Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones told WRBL-TV, adding that it's possible the death toll could rise. If that's the case, this could make the storms deadlier than the tornado that tore through Moore, Oklahoma, in 2013, killing 24 people.
Four children were among those killed, according to Lee County Coroner Bill Harris, which reports their ages as 6, 8, 9 and 10. The oldest victim of the storm was 89.
A line of severe storms swept through the Deep South Sunday, with numerous reports of tornadoes and associated damage prompting officials to declare 'tornado emergencies' for Alabama and Georgia.
Preliminary surveys from the National Weather Service have confirmed at least a dozen tornadoes in southern Alabama and Georgia, including the EF-4 rated storm that was responsible for the 23 fatalities in near Beauregard, Alabama.
Dangerous conditions stopped search and rescue efforts Sunday night as drones equipped with heat-seeking devices scanned the area for survivors. Rescuers resumed search efforts on Monday morning as they dug through the remnants of the destroyed homes and businesses. Temperatures had also fallen to just 2°C on Monday morning, leaving some who lost heat because of the storms to struggle with the cold.
"The devastation is incredible," Jones said.
According to the Lee County Emergency Management Agency, more than 150 first responders were on the ground in the moments after the storm.
Several towns in Georgia have also reported damage and injuries from suspected tornadoes in the southern third of the state. Additional damage reports also came in from the Florida Panhandle.
Images of devastating damage began emerging on social through Sunday evening.
With 23 fatalities confirmed, this outbreak has already topped the total number of deaths for all of 2018 in the United States.

The role of legacy brands and startups in driving development
There is a greater focus on sustainability and working towards net zero carbon emissions in companies today. This has to work in tandem with the transformation in the digital space, with more collaborations and partnerships between legacy brands and startups. This is one of the many ways we can drive development and growth in India in this age of innovation and advancement.
These were some of the ideas that came up in a discussion led by the founder and CEO of YourStory. shraddha sharma while engaged to Nadir Godrej, President and MD, Godrej Industries and Lingraju Sawkar, President, India, in the latest episode of 'The New Springboard' series driven by Kindergarten. The series brings together top leaders from startups, unicorns, and high-potential companies to exchange ideas and perspectives that can facilitate and bolster growth.
Crucial sectors for development
India needs sustainable growth across all segments and strata of society to become a developed nation, according to Nadir. Sectors such as infrastructure, green energy, fintech and digital transition will play an important role in the effort to reach the state of "developed" for 2047.
He says we need to have green energy sources that can provide 24/7 instead of intermittent renewable energy sources. "At Godrej, we will focus on digital transformation, particularly agriculture, new and innovative financial services, and biomass-based energy, both from agricultural by-products and new crops, such as bamboo," he says. He also points out that India is very competitive in chemicals, so Godrej is looking to expand his chemical businesses with a special focus on green chemistry.
Lingraju is optimistic that we will achieve the target that the Prime Minister has set in much less time than stipulated. "Key sectors will remain a priority, which are infrastructure, financial services, telecom and heavy engineering," he says, adding that India has the advantage of the power of digital transformation and the underlying technology, which will contribute to the developing. Both Nadir and Lingraju believe that the next set of 30 years of development will be based much more on sustainability.
The role of ecosystem associations in growth
Nadir points out that partnerships, in various combinations between companies, governments and NGOs, are important, especially in building infrastructure in the manufacturing zones of the chemical industry. "But individual effort also has an important role to play."he adds.
He points out that government mandates and incentives tied to production don't always work as expected, so we have to rely on ourselves. He agrees that we need to look for optimal partnerships that lead to tangible growth, which unfortunately is often not the case.
Legacy business support
"The greatest leverage will come through the financial inclusion goals that are being set," says Lingraju, adding that Kyndryl works closely with companies in the microfinance industry that lend to women's groups, which is helping development at the bottom of the pyramid. He says that Kyndryl is now working with Godrej in the area of digital transformation to accelerate cloud adoption, which opens up possibilities for open ecosystem play in analytics, consumer insights, and market opportunities.
The second area of work is to drive individual marketing instead of mass marketing, so "You can create offers and value propositions for a single consumer and then scale them to many," he adds.
Long-term value creation
"We have a long heritage, but we are always aware that our values must remain the same, but we must modernize, and we have been constantly modernizing while maintaining our values." says Nadir, adding that bringing all stakeholders together, corporate social responsibility and innovation has been important to the company. He conveys the story of the founder of Godrej Ardeshir Godrej founding the company on the principle of innovation based on his conversation about an independent economy with Mahatma Gandhi.
Hoping that all stakeholders will continue to benefit from them, Nadir says the company follows the philosophy that its role is nation building and believes that taking care of stakeholders is the best way to take care of its business, that it is a symbiotic relationship. "If you see Mahatma Gandhi's book influence in many pioneering companies, I would conclude that he is the largest Indian businessman," he adds.
Giving the example of fintech start-ups and public sector banks mutually benefiting from technological innovation, Lingraju notes that technology has leveled the playing field between traditional brands and startups, adding that it allows form partnerships between startups focused on a single capability and traditional brands that can leverage that capability.
A promise to build a greener world
Nadir says that in 2010, Godrej launched the good and green program, which focused on various goals, including good health through sanitation, the environment, and education. He adds that his focus was on carbon negation by advocating for carbon neutrality and praised India's mandatory CSR project that will help the nation's environment, health and employability.
Godrej will continue to focus on preserving biodiversity, fixing the poor sanitation situation and ensuring clean water to combat various diseases, he adds.
Driving technology to increase employability and development
One of the areas Kyndryl is working on is ensuring that lots of green power sources go into data centers to make them efficient, Lingraju says. They are also working to identify how to harness technology to enable skills to make the most of India's employable demographic.
Another area Kyndryl is working on is 'Beyond Tier I', which focuses on extracting potential and talent in Tier II and III cities. "We are working with various government agencies and building capabilities that are ready for employment and consumption in Tier II and Tier III cities," he says, adding that this development addresses sustainability, employability and skill, and enables the growth in these cities.
"Inclusion is important, not just because you have to be fair and just, but because you have better ideas," says Nadir, adding that one should try to appeal to people of all backgrounds for better thinking.
It also places an emphasis on ensuring that everyone feels welcome and is heard in the organization. It acknowledges that, given our biases, it is a difficult and ongoing challenge to be neutral, but we must continue to work towards it.
Tips for Young Leaders
"You learn to be a leader in a crisis," says Nadir, adding that he believes in trusting his team in such situations. He points out that they were able to reverse one of those situations by bringing the team together to brainstorm and work together. "You need to get everyone's opinion. At the same time, you have to be decisive… as long as you have thought things through and have an alternate plan, it is easy to make a decision," he adds.

Autour du film

 Le tournage s'est déroulé en 1993 à Boulder, Cañon City, Gunnison et Ouray, dans le Colorado.
 Initialement titré Alferd Packer: The Musical, Lloyd Kaufman, le fondateur de Troma (société distributrice du film), réussi à convaincre Trey Parker de changer son titre, puisque Alferd Packer avait beau être célèbre dans tout le Colorado, il n'en était pas de même dans le reste du pays.
 L'histoire d'Alferd Packer avait déjà été adaptée au cinéma par James W. Roberson avec The Legend of Alferd Packer (1980).
 Le juge est interprété par Randy Parker, le père du cinéaste.
 Le cheval de Packer se nomme Liane, clin d'œil à Liane Adamo, la fiancée du cinéaste, qui interprète ici le rôle d'une danseuse.
 Durant le générique, le réalisateur utilise le pseudonyme de Juan Schwartz, variation du John Schwartze utilisé par Alferd Packer lors de sa fuite.
 Le personnage de Polly Pry devait initialement être interprété par Moira Kelly, mais l'actrice fut remplacée par Toddy Walters, pour ne pas porter préjudice à ses ambitions hollywoodiennes.
 Dian Bachar, qui avait déjà joué en 1995 dans deux courts-métrages du cinéaste (Your Studio and You et Time Warped), rejoua sous la direction de ce dernier dans Capitaine Orgazmo (1997), second film de Trey Parker.
 Le film n'a pas été doublé en français ni dans aucune autre langue, il est donc disponible en DVD zone 2 mais uniquement en version sous-titrée.

Un avant-goût de South Park

Dans ce film, on retrouve de nombreux éléments qui seront utilisés plus tard dans la série South Park, des mêmes auteurs. Ainsi :

 On retrouve le même humour que dans la série, très Monty Python : Le langage grossier des personnages, l'humour noir et parodique, les scènes gores et sanglantes très exagérées, les allusions sexuelles parfois poussées à l'extrême…
 L'ambiguïté sur la mortalité d'un des protagonistes.
 Humphrey, le personnage joué par Matt Stone, porte le même bonnet que Kyle. Lorsqu'il l'enlève, on découvre qu'il a une énorme coiffure rousse et afro, gag repris plus tard dans un des épisodes.
 La plupart des personnages semblent agressifs et violents, d'autres sont tellement gentils et optimistes qu'ils se perdent dans leurs idées pacifistes ou d'autres, encore, se fichent complètement de ce qui (leur) arrive.
 Les auteurs reprennent des personnages réels pour les tourner en ridicule et se moquer de la société américaine d'alors (des mineurs nonchalants, des trappeurs mal intentionnés, des indiens pas très indiens…)
 De nombreuses chansons très inspirées et humoristiques.
 Les auteurs (Trey Parker et Matt Stone) jouent eux-mêmes les personnages principaux. Plus tard ils prêteront leurs voix aux héros de South Park. Dian Bachar (George) doublera plus tard le personnage de Chris, le nouvel amant de Satan dans un double-épisode.
 Plusieurs épisodes de South Park comportent un alien caché, il y en a un dans le film sous forme de bonhomme de neige à 1:01:57

'On Golden Pond' coming to Mansfield Playhouse next 2 weekends
Mark Caudill
Mansfield News Journal
MANSFIELD - Doug Wertz doesn't get to be as involved with the Mansfield Playhouse as he used to be.
The former artistic director has another job now, but he's back for "On Golden Pond," a play written by Ernest Thompson.
Most people are familiar with the 1981 movie version that garnered 10 Oscar nominations and three awards, including Best Actor for Henry Fonda and Best Actress for Katharine Hepburn. It was Fonda's final role.
Wertz is taking on the Fonda role of Norman Thayer. He and wife Ethel, played by Carla Eighinger, are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the 48th year.
He is a retired professor, approaching 80, with heart palpitations and a failing memory. But Norman is still as tart-tongued, observant and eager for life as ever.
"It really does have a lot of relativity to it, how people deal with aging," Wertz said. "It's just a sweet play. It has a lot of sensibility and compassion. It also shows some conflict."
When he was the Playhouse's artistic director, Wertz had to build his own sets. He is happy to be able to focus solely on his character.
Veteran director Drew Traxler is at the helm of "On Golden Pond." He has mainly directed shows at the Renaissance Theatre and the Ohio State University-Mansfield.
"I'm just the right age that 'On Golden Pond' played nonstop on HBO when I was a kid," Traxler said.
"On Golden Pond" was originally a play in 1979. There have been several versions of the script.
Traxler prefers this one.
"All the stuff that people remember from the movie is there, but it's got some great additions," he said. "It's old and new combined. It has the best of all the characters."
Traxler said the movie is slower paced than the play, which he said has a lot of laughs and some action.
The director has been encouraged by rehearsals.
"It's going to be a wonderful show," Traxler said. "The cast is amazing. It's building into something really special.
"I know the audience is going to love it, and I hope they bring their families. It's for all ages; the humor can be enjoyed by anyone."
A Playhouse veteran, Eighinger said "On Golden Pond" was the only play that aligned with her schedule.
She said she loved the movie version.
"As I've gotten older, I've gotten a little more nostalgic for it," Eighinger said.
Ethel Thayer is 10 years younger than Norman and serves as a perfect foil for him.
In the play, they are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her fiance, who then head off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer.
Lindsey Saltz plays the daughter, Chelsea, who was portrayed by Jane Fonda in the movie version.
"The role is great. It's very nuanced," she said. "It's a challenge for me because she's so much older."
Saltz is 27, while Chelsea is middle-aged.
"Overall, she has a lot of grit to her," Saltz said of her character. "She's very similar to Norman in her dryness and sarcastic humor. Though she's really had a strained relationship, she really just wants to please him."
The son of Chelsea's fiance quickly becomes the "grandchild" the elderly couple has longed for, and Norman takes his ward fishing and introduces him to good books.
"He turns out to be just what Norman needs to come back around," Traxler said.
The boy, named Billy, is played by Traxler's son, Atlas.
As summer wanes, so does the brief idyll. Norman and Ethel are brought even closer together by a mild heart attack, which leaves them wondering if they'll have another summer on Golden Pond.
The backdrop for the play is an artistic rendering by local artist Allison Pence. The scene depicts a reflective shot of the pond at North Lake Park, created in partnership with Mankind Murals.
Based on original photography by Bill Baker, Pence's artwork was created on canvas and reproduced in large format vinyl.
After the Playhouse production, the mural will later be installed for public enjoyment to promote local parks.

Living the Gig Life: Tom Vander Ark's Plans for My 6th Grader
Date: November 12, 2017Author: seattleducation2010 1 Comment
That my kid was a potential stepping stone to the introduction of the entrepreneurial spirt – so valued by those pushing the gig economy – into our public school and also a source of financial gain to boot, was a sobering.
It also raises big questions:
Where are the local protections to keep kids from being exploited?
Who owns their work and other personal data?
With the push for badges, internships, and other in-school workforce training, what happens to the child labor laws that made public education possible for so many kids?
For the first time ever, I got to attend a Network for Public Education Conference and participate on a panel.
During my presentation, one slide caught the attention of a reporter for EdSurge. The panel was called Parent Hopes and the Gig Economy.
Here's the slide:
This is what the reporter had to say:
In the session, Leith called out influencers such as Tom Vander Ark, a former education director with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and one of the webinar's presenters, saying he's "now planning out" what her "sixth grader might be doing in the future for work."
According to the talk, that future may be moving towards the gig economy, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics refers to as "a single project or task for which a worker is hired, often through a digital marketplace, to work on demand." Leith offered another way of describing it: a "series of little jobs" people in the future will have to work "enough to make ends meet." Leith also claims the workers themselves don't handle the money, but rather, a platform like Uber—"the middleman"—does.
That concerns Leith. She and others think the gig economy will work for some people, but not all. For instance, research done in 2016 from data and consulting firm Hearts & Wallets suggested that gig economy workers in their 40s, 50s and early 60s within a certain subgroup had high satisfaction rates working in the gig economy. But critics have argued that the gig economy model doesn't protect workers from exploitation.
Leith is also worried about the way advocates are advertising the gig economy to young students. She feels there's a false "positive sell" that uses language such as "you're gonna choose your gigs, and you're a creative of the new economy." A more accurate description, she said, would be to say that the gig economy relies on "low paying jobs" that won't make it possible to "buy a house."
I think my comments were interesting because the ed-tech "thought leaders" don't spend much time with the parents of their designated end users.
Parents who aren't thrilled their students are beta-testing products for free or their public schools are being transformed into workforce development pipelines.
That someone would dare to criticize Vander Ark was news in itself.
More Ed-Tech Adventures with my 6th Grader
Back in 5th grade, I refused to sign the release for my kid's work to be uploaded to Seesaw. Seesaw compiles digital portfolios of student work and was started by two former employees of Facebook.
As you can imagine, taking such a hard anti-technology stance in the land of Bill Gates put me on the short list for President of the local Tinfoil Hat Society.
A year later the New York Times broke a story explaining how Seesaw is essentially bribing teachers to do product placement in their classrooms, and even worst, teachers are branding themselves and welcoming this commercialization of their profession.
Ms. Delzer also has a second calling. She is a schoolteacher with her own brand, Top Dog Teaching. Education start-ups like Seesaw give her their premium classroom technology as well as swag like T-shirts or freebies for the teachers who attend her workshops. She agrees to use their products in her classroom and give the companies feedback. And she recommends their wares to thousands of teachers who follow her on social media.
"I will embed it in my brand every day," Ms. Delzer said of Seesaw. "I get to make it better."
That my kid was a potential stepping stone to the introduction of the entrepreneurial spirt – so valued by those pushing the gig economy – into our public school and also a potential source of financial gain to boot, was a sobering.
Back to The Future of Work and What it Means for K-12 Schools Webinar
During the webinar, Michael Chui, Partner, McKinsey Global Institute, dropped this truth bomb.
In the future, will there be enough work? Historically, we have had enough work despite technology entering. I think in terms of actual amount of demand for labor, it'll be there. But I do think there will be potential challenges in transitioning people from what they're doing now as machines do some of what people do now into the new jobs of the future. Some of those things do have to do with retraining, re-skilling, even as people are in the workforce. And I think there's a lot of work to be done in doing that successfully of scale. And I think that's a challenge. And you also made reference to the fact that geographically in the United States, labor is at multi-decades low. Even that rate has declined over time. And if we're going to have the outcomes, often times new jobs won't be created in the same places where other jobs, you know, might be declining in employment. We'll need to solve that challenge, as well, in terms of labor mobility. It's been one of the things that has been, you know, underpinned, you know, good outcomes in the past in the economy and when we do — and then, one of the other challenges that we do see going forward, there'll be enough, potentially enough work, we'll need to transition people. And we also have a question as to whether or not the work will pay. Some of the modeling shows that, in fact, income polarization or inequality, whatever you want to call it. And Tom made reference to this before, a hollowing out of middle-aged jobs potentially could be exacerbated by technology, as well.
Even enthusiastic supporters of the gig economy are worried about its negative impact on the the amount of jobs, living wages, and employment of individuals in their 40s, 50s, and early 60s.
Here's the giant red flag, which Chui awkwardly admits: some of the modeling of the gig economy shows more income polarization and increased inequality.
Of course, common sense points to the very same thing, but it's interesting the "thought leaders" are worried about it too.
This should scare everyone who wants their kids and grandchildren to have the opportunity to live in a fair and stable society.
-Carolyn Leith

One thought on "Living the Gig Life: Tom Vander Ark's Plans for My 6th Grader"
This shows the creep and creepiness of the press to make this generation into entrepreneurs and workers for the gig economy https://finance.yahoo.com/news/wework-going-kindergartners-now-100017355.html
For an example of a teacher functioning as a marketer for tech products look at this website and the "advertising policy" written by a teacher who sees no conflict of interest in marketing products on her website and using students as guinea pigs. https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/ed-tech-tools-2017/

It's out there. The Garden and the Backyard, too. It's waiting for me so it can drag me in and turn me monster green. The rains were falling and now the sun is shining. The grass has sprouted up to window sill height. Where's a cow when you need her? But it's also the blackberries. Those vines keep sprouting up from no where, and spreading out. It's a continuous horror movie. Although, I really like eating the fruit in August. That's when I get lulled into thinking the blackberry vines aren't so bad. But when your barn is starting to disappear behind the blackberries, it is bad! Tricksy vines.
The peas I started several weeks ago in little pots in the house want real dirt in the real outdoors but I changed a couple of things in the yard and the garden isn't ready. My poor little peas are starting to wilt. It may have to do with the cat chewing on them now and then. I bought seeds. I feel the pull. But once I start, there is no end. None. Ever. I will have to continue to plant, grow, and eat. The shame of it all. The tragedy!
Here's a short radio show episode called The Garden. The events are true but the names have been changed to protect the innocent. (hahahaha...enjoy!)
