NBA Picks 2/18
After a long break from DFS NBA for the All-Star break, we finally have games again starting today with a large 10 game slate. Here are my picks for the day.
Michael Carter-Williams
MCW has a lot going for him against Cleveland. First off, the 76ers are at home, which is always beneficial for a players fantasy output. Philadelphia is also on a streak of getting crushed by their opponents, lowering their teams fantasy stats and causing MCW's price to creep downward, but against a bad Cleveland team at home, Philly is actually favored. Cleveland also gives up top 3 points to PGs. The previous 3 matchups against Cleveland MCW's stats, while not completely stellar, were solid. In the first game of the year, MCW only had a line of 11/9/6/1/0, however in the 2nd matchup he put up a line of 21/7/13/2/2, but in a double overtime game. His last game was the most encouraging, where MCW scored 33 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and dished 5 assists. His USG% in that game was also 35.2%, 9.2% higher than his season average. A small factor in his favor is that Evan Turner had very high USG% in their 3 matchups, but all against Earl Clark, and not Luol Deng, who is a much better defender. So expect the 76ers to rely on MCW more on offense.
The only thing that scares me about MCW is his early season stats are looking more like a hot streak than what we should expect, and he has had spotty fantasy production ever since new years. Still, with so much in his favor he's a very strong start.
Chris Paul
Because of the ways DFS websites pricing algorithms work, Chris Paul's long injury hiatus has caused his price to move way down, from over 10k to 8.2k on Fanduel. That price would make him a must start on its own, but he also draws a good matchup against the Spurs at home, where he'll be defended by Tony Parker if his plays, the worst defender on the team. Parker is questionable though and that will hurt Paul's production if he doesn't play. But Paul broke 50 fantasy points in the one previous matchup he played in, which really puts icing on the cake. Paul's injury is not a concern so he's really the best start of the day by a mile.
Andre Drummond
Drummond is one of the hottest players in DFS right now as his production continues to increase in his 2nd season in the league. Charlotte gives up a lot of points to Centers which bodes well for Drummond. But what I'm most encouraged by is his production in their previous matchup. Remarkably, Drummond had 10 offensive rebounds, 5 above his season average, as well as 5 blocks. Charlotte shot 52.4% from the field in that game, which probably pushed Drummond defensive rebounding totals down, but don't expect a repeat performance. Drummond's best games have come against undersized front courts such as Philadelphia, New Orleans, Milwaukee, Brooklyn (without Garnett), and Cleveland (without Varejao). Charlotte is one of the most undersized front courts in the league with Josh McRoberts and Al Jefferson. I think we see another remarkable performance on the glass by Drummond.
Randy Foye
Ty Lawson is officially out tonight, which likely means Randy Foye will start at PG. I would keep up with the news of Denver's lineup as it always is in flux, but Foye starting is by far the most likely scenario. Foye owners in Denver's past two games have gotten their asses handed to them, but that was mostly because Denver was on the bad end of road blowouts. Foye's production at the point is actually quite good, and even in the two last games he managed to take a lot of shot attempts and even got 10 assists against Indiana. Denver is at home this game against a good Phoenix team, but one that is much worse against PG's than Minnesota or Indiana. Foye I think is one of the better starts of the day, and you'd be foolish not to use him.

What is syntax and what does it mean for somebody learning a new programming language?
Syntax really is just the basic rules of how the language is structured. Does it use special characters to end each line or each expression? Does it use indentation levels and empty spaces to mean something special? Does it reserve special words for its own use? These are called keywords and most programming languages have them.
Programming languages need these special and very specific rules in order to avoid any misunderstanding about what we want the computer to do.
Languages also provide extra capability in the form of standard libraries and frameworks. Because these libraries are so useful and common, it's easy to confuse them with the syntax of the language itself.

Welcome to the
Nelson Center for Entrepreneurship!
In September 2016, the Nelson Center for Entrepreneurship opened its temporary doors on the third floor of Brown Hillel, at 80 Brown Street, and we quickly started advancing our mission of empowering students and our community to create solutions with impact. With my talented colleagues Jonas Clark, Associate Director, and Liz Malone, Program Manager, we began a new entrepreneurial journey of our own that has initiated a diverse range of campus and community programs and collaborations.
In case you missed it, this article captures a bit of what we achieved right out of the gate, such as piloting our Peer Entrepreneurs-in-Residence program, celebrating National Entrepreneurship Month with a wide range of events and activities, and hosting a day-long academic research conference on Entrepreneurship at the Intersection of Diversity and Inequality (Q&A about the conference here).
In distinctively Brown tradition, we have done so interdisciplinarily by collaborating with groups as diverse as the Brown Arts Initiative and the Brown Medical School, the Carney Institute for Brain Science and the Brown School of Public Health. We are excited to share below a listing of our programs, partnerships, and events from our first year and in our Press page some of our media coverage. We also encourage you to learn about our ongoing programming via our events calendar and to register for our periodic email updates here.
We have been delighted to see how enthusiastically members from across the entire Brown community have embraced our center—undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, parents and alumni, and members of the community at large. Xochitl Gonzalez '99, for example, who was a panelist at our Entrepreneurial Stories from First-Generation and People of Color Alumni event, captures both the expansive mission of the center and the buzz around entrepreneurship on campus:
"Entrepreneurship is the perfect pursuit for the curious mind, as it's an endless series of "problems" waiting to be solved, and Brown is a school full of curious minds … I realized how much potential the Nelson Center has to give our students the tools to channel today's ideas into tomorrow's entrepreneurial ventures."
Now in our new building on Thayer Street (where Store 24 used to be), our growing team is building quickly on all of this early momentum, and we welcome your participation. You can learn more about getting involved and can let us know about your interest here. You can also email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and we will be delighted to coordinate your interest. And be sure to register for our periodic news update.
Thank you so much from all of us at the Nelson Center for Entrepreneurship! We look forward to hearing from you.
Ever true,
Danny '87, P'20, P'23

In 2015, FSR Search was engaged on an initial management consulting assignment with a large telecommunications business in the Middle East as a project lead. The purpose of the assignment was to steer a group of internal analysts to formulate coherent insights for the executive team on consumer behavior and how pricing patterns affected consumer activity through purchase value and frequency. After disseminating a vast amount of information through a 'big data' exercise, the client was able to have access to the definition of consumer sub groups, thus better understanding the results of historic pricing plans and formulating potential ideas for forward marketing and pricing plans to support a matured and growing consumer base.
In response to this exercise, FSR Search were then challenged in finding a successor for the client; a Executive Project Management lead with a proven track record in statistical analysis, predictive analytics and consumer marketing strategies, carrying a deep six figure package. This was a very specialist assignment, only made possible by FSR Search's deeply engrained technical knowledge and search capabilities. Utilising a network of industry specialists within this domain, FSR Search was able to provide the client with notable candidates from both the US and Europe, which were later taken under consideration by the board.
The end result: Another high profile consulting assignment delivered by FSR Search where technical competence was support by search rigour and a wide spanning network of industry professionals.

2019 is gonna be very exciting for us as we embark our new journey at our new place! So far we loving every bit of the house because each and every corner in #mkcrib are from us to fit our family need. We conclude that we're blessed to be able to live in different houses different style before we have our own, we stayed at woody design house, industrial/vintage style, simple non-renovated one, with walk-in wardrobe and without etc.
As we grow older our priority in need and want become different too, i no longer lust for walk-in wardrobe as i think it's unnecessary my closet now with 2 door is barely 60% filled. As for style i always go with white this time added some light wood touch for Scandinavian + Minimalist style which i think it's more sustainable and never go out of trend. i'm those easily get bored person so with white and light wood other color can be added from time to time.
We're now left 25% to unpack, sofa will delivered this week then shoe cabinet to be install on Friday, can't cook yet because we forget to ask the gas person to come to activate our gas hood then curtains and we're done! This week ping and bf will come to visit us, can't wait to have more gathering and playdate at our place! We're still hesitate whether to have a house warning party or not, shall we how~
Work Plan
Nope not going back to work i love the flexibility working from home but as Chloe go to N2 longer school hour i basically have total 6 hour me-time (2 hr from chloe nap time). After settling the house i will take up another job to keep myself busy at the same time still get to spend quality time with my girl.
Baby Plan
This year we pray God bless us with another baby, actually these 2 year i'm conceived and pregnant but it's not God's timing yet for us to have another child. I really hope Chloe will have sibling to grow up with of course i need to accept too if that's God plan, but we will try our best.

Joining VeloClub not only supports the work we do, there are some fantastic benefits:
by Shane Stokes
August 22, 2017
In today's edition of the Daily News Digest: Nibali wins stage 3 of the Vuelta a España, Froome takes red jersey; Lawless wins stage 4 of the Tour de l'Avenir; Froome surprised to take race lead so soon; Contador: 'I don't know what happened – I had very bad sensations'; Majka rues lost time after off day; Tom-Jelte Slagter signs for Dimension Data, team says his best is yet to come; Alex Dowsett to slot into Kittel's leadout train at Katusha-Alpecin, also has own ambitions; Sabrina Stultiens returns to WM3; Gary West remembered; Video: Artemis World Cycle Week 6 Wrap: Through Australia and onto New Zealand
Coming on board in part to aid the leadout train of Marcel Kittel, Alex Dowsett has said that his move to Team Katusha should also see him aiming for strong performances in stage races and Grand Tours. The move to the team was announced on Monday and will see the five-time British national time trial champion transfer from Movistar to the Swiss team.
"It's so exciting for me to join this team," he said. "I had five amazing seasons with Movistar but it is time for a change and I look forward to joining Team Katusha-Alpecin. Every team has a different approach and I feel I can learn a lot."
The 28-year-old is a former world time trial champion and his ability against the clock was a draw for team manager José Azevedo. "Alex is one of the best time trial riders in the professional peloton. We see nice opportunities with him to bring horse power to the team in the team time trials," he said. "Moreover, because of his TT skills, he is able to win stage races, as he has proved already in the past. Alex is still young but he has a lot of experience. I have a good feeling about him."
Winner of 15 races over the past seven years, including a stage in the Giro d'Italia plus the overall in the Bayern Rundfahrt, Dowsett said that he has his own ambitions. "I will continue to focus on my time trial but also all other races, especially stage races, including the Grand Tours, are important for me," he said. "I know that I will get my chances but I am ready to be a good domestique. In my period with Team Sky, I was one of the riders to protect Mark Cavendish and bring him to the last kilometre. I hope to do the same now with Marcel Kittel."

PlayStation has announced that early next year players will be able to change their PlayStation Network Online ID for the first time.
It's a long-awaited feature for PlayStation users that means those weird and shameful usernames will be no more.
Can't relate? Try to think about your very first email address… Yeah, same here.
The new update will mean you're able to change your online ID as many times as you want.
The first change is free, but any after that will cost you.
PlayStation gamers were quick to show their relief on Twitter.
This person will no longer be burdened with a username relating to American horror comedy film Scary Movie.
FINALLY I CAN CHANGE THIS NAME pic.twitter.com/nXtGUH1Wty

Darnell, a YouTuber from Birmingham who goes by the PSN name NINExTAILEDxDEE has been desperate for a re-brand for nearly 10 years.
"I think I was 13 or 14 when I made it. It came from Naruto."
Naruto is a Japanese manga series, but Darnell's love for it didn't last as long as his love for PlayStation.
"I realised I wanted to change my name three years later when I realised how nerdy it was," he says.
Thank God. Creating a username when you're a teenager is like getting a bad tattoo, u just grow to regret it.
— Adamaeus (@CyprianAshcroft) October 10, 2018
End of Twitter post by @CyprianAshcroft
Adam, 24, from Ireland, made a username so bad as a teenager he wouldn't even reveal it.
It can make gaming with friends quite difficult.
"I tell them my username with a red face and an explanation, I just want to be able to say it without that.
"It's not a major deal – I could make a new account but I'm a bit of a trophy hunter and don't want to start from scratch."
That's been an issue for many PlayStation gamers with a dodgy name.
Once an account is made with a username and you start playing, the accolades and trophies you win on games are then attached to that name.
So those gamers with weird or embarrassing usernames – but also long lists of trophies on their account – won't make a new account to avoid starting all over again.
Xbox fans were given the opportunity by Microsoft to change their Gamertag several years ago.
PlayStation will have a trial period with the new feature in November for some of its gamers.
The full feature will be accessible for all in early 2019.
The new feature will be compatible with PS4 games made after 1 April 2018, as well as the console's most popular games that were released before this date.
However, not all games made for PS4, PS3 and PS Vita systems are guaranteed to support the online ID change – gamers may find issues or errors in certain games.

Why I dig the dog days of December
We are in the dog days of December. This is a phenomenon that occurs per annum in the junior resource markets. To wit: there is a significant decline in stock valuations during the middle of the final month of the year. These annual downticks are driven mainly by tax-loss selling, but a contributing factor is an otherwise disinterested investor base as folks ready for the gifting and party season.
In the series of Toronto Venture Exchange Index charts that follow, I document these mid-December declines since a rising gold price resurrected the junior resource market in 2003. Note that each chart covers a period from November 20 to January 10, equaling 33 to 35 trading days:
The conclusion from these charts is that a short-term low for the Toronto Venture Exchange almost always occurs in mid-December. This is particularly so in bear market years, when tax-loss selling is at its strongest and investor interest is at its lowest. Only one of the past 11 years has bucked this trend and that happened during the raging bull market of 2005-2006.
Finally, here's the chart from November 20 to Thursday December 18, 2014:
Though the current chart is incomplete, I will make some short-term predictions based on previous bear market years:
- The Toronto Venture Exchange Index low for 2014 was likely hit on Tuesday, December 16.
- The market will probably recover a bit or flat line thru the end of this year.
- There should be a significant rally in junior resource stocks in the early days of 2015.
While hitting the late afternoon holiday party scene in Vancouver's financial district this week, I have noticed markedly smaller crowds filled with many long faces and listened to too many woeful tales regarding the state of the junior stock market.
Personally however, I dig the dog days of December. We are now in the middle of a very short window of five to ten trading days that presents the year's best opportunity to bottom fish for undervalued companies.
If chosen carefully using strong due diligence and thorough research, these will be the stocks that lead a typical rally into the New Year. If past is prologue, I can confidently forecast that the fortunes in a fortnight will appear rosier for a number of the best junior resource companies.
Whether the predicted rally in early 2015 will have any sort of staying power in the current bear market is equivocal. That may simply be a function of future commodities prices and in particular, for gold, oil, and copper.

WILLIAM Topaz McGonagall has been reviled and revered as Scotland's worst poet.
But, while the Dundonian spent most of his career being pelted with flour and eggs and, on one occasion, was knocked out by a brick, a new biography suggests his indifference to public humiliation was a result of autism.
Dr Norman Watson in his new book, Poet McGonagall: The Biography of William McGonagall, that the "Bard of the Silv'ry Tay", who wrote over 200 poems in his career may have had Asperger's Syndrome, or a similar disorder on the autistic spectrum.
Among other eccentricities, McGonagall's poetry displayed an astonishing repetition of phrases. Over sixty begin "'Twas" and he constantly uses the phrase "beautiful to be seen". He also complained frequently of "noises in his head" towards the end of his life. His susceptibility to hoaxes, such as being told that "King Theebaw" of the Andaman Islands had appointed him "Grand Knight of the Holy Order of the White Elephant", might also indicate some disorder, claims Watson.
He said: "McGonagall showed significant difficulty in social interaction - he made people laugh but seemed to remain insensitive as to why.
"The lack of demonstrated empathy is said to be possibly the most dysfunctional aspect of Asperger's, while not recognising a listener's feelings or reactions is another form of social awkwardness associated with it."
Although written with serious intent, McGonagall's poems often created unintentional humour. For many years he performed at a Dundee circus, where he would happily read his poems while the crowd was permitted to pelt him with eggs, flour, herrings, potatoes and stale bread. He received 15 shillings a night, but the events become so raucous that city magistrates eventually banned them.
"McGonagall seemed inured to insult, his deadpan response to ridicule being his greatest character trait," said Watson. "He wasn't concerned by verbal insults and didn't flinch before fusillades of missiles".
Professor Tommy MacKay, a psychologist and visiting professor of autism studies at Strathclyde University, thinks the theory valid.
"It's certainly quite possible. People who have Asperger's characterise it by impairments in reciprocal social interactions, so their ability to read the signals is very poor. They can come across as being very thick skinned and unable to read between the lines and sometimes even read the lines themselves. In regards to this, McGonagall would fit quite well."
Many great writers are believed to have had autism, including George Orwell, Emily Dickinson, Lewis Carroll, James Joyce and Hans Christian Andersen.
"Quite a lot of prominent figures including writers are believed to have suffered from some form of autism," said MacKay. "Einstein for example probably had Asperger's. Quite a lot of people who were viewed as having a touch of genius quite often have the features of being in the autistic spectrum."
In the 1890s, McGonagall moved to Edinburgh where he became a cult figure because of his quirky writings. However, by 1900 he was destitute and sickly, and died penniless in 1902. He was buried in a then unmarked grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard. His death certificate, on which his name is mis-spelled McGonigall, states his cause of death as "cerebral haemorrhage".
But some dispute Watson's theory. Stewart Gunn, of the Scottish Society for Autism, said: "A diagnosis of a disorder on the autistic spectrum is not a quick fix or an easy solution and only comes about over a period of time. Autism is also often, for example, masked by other disorders. There isn't really enough [about McGonagall] to be accurate or helpful."
The poet WN Herbert, a Dundonian and McGonagall scholar, referred to the diagnosis as "a type of body-snatching". He said: "To look for extra-literary diagnoses is to pretend that what he wrote and how our ancestors responded to it was not a cultural phenomenon. It is to concur with the viewpoint that bad literature is somehow not literature. It is bad faith to McGonagall, poor suffering dope that he was, and to his memory, which is something far more complex, disturbing, and intriguing."

- "You know, a real one of a kind engine. Uniquely useful. The only one on the North Western Railway!"
"Ohh, I'm sick of hearing about 'Daisy the Diesel Railcar!'"
"Who's talking about Daisy?"
"I was talking about Harvey!"
- ―Thomas, Diesel and Percy
A Most Singular Engine is the second episode of the twenty-first series.
One morning, Diesel is pulling a goods train on Ryan's branch line when he meets up with Daisy. He is glad to be working with another diesel, but Daisy insists that she is unique and that she is not the type of diesel that he is.
Daisy continues boasting to the other engines that she does not need trucks or coaches, greatly annoying Diesel. When he hears Thomas and Percy talking about "a real one-of-a-kind engine," he tells them that he is sick of hearing about Daisy. However, Thomas tells him that he was referring to Harvey, who is also one-of-a-kind because of his crane arm. Diesel, fed up with Daisy's boasting, decides to pay her back. He tries to create tension between her and Harvey by telling Harvey that Daisy has been talking about him behind his back. Harvey is surprised, but he does not take offense.
Diesel then tells Ryan to look out for Daisy because Harvey has been saying that he is more useful than Daisy. He then tells Daisy that Harvey has been insulting her. Daisy has never met Harvey but wants him to know how unique she is. Diesel then goes back and continues to tell Harvey how Daisy has been insulting him. Harvey begins to get annoyed with Daisy after hearing this. Meanwhile, Ryan tells Daisy that he has heard that Harvey has been saying he is more useful than her. Daisy is infuriated and says nothing.
Thomas asks Harvey what has been going on between him and Daisy. Harvey does not know why she has been supposedly talking about him, but he tells Thomas that she sounds like an unpleasant engine to be around.
Later that day, Daisy is on her way to Harwick when a lorry at a level crossing drops some of its crates, blocking her line. Harvey then arrives at the crossing, and although he and Daisy have never seen each other before, they immediately recognize each other. They both angrily stare at each other before Harvey asks her if there is a problem. She complains about the crates on the line, but Harvey says he cannot move them because he has to get a spare coach to replace one that Diesel derailed. However, Daisy offers to take the extra passengers instead, so Harvey has time to clear the line.
Daisy and Harvey quickly become friends, much to Diesel's annoyance. He is shocked that two engines are able to get along despite being so different. As he leaves, he does not notice that the points are set to the ramp that leads out into the sea. Diesel's engine gets wet and emits sparks, but Harvey comes and pulls him out. He is surprised that Harvey is helping him after he was so horrible to him, but Harvey insists that he is always willing to help. Daisy arrives and suggests that perhaps what makes an engine special is not how they look, but how they act. Harvey says that Diesel is useful too, but Diesel is too embarrassed to speak.
Harvey and Daisy quickly develop a mutual admiration for each other. Diesel respects their uniqueness, and the three engines soon become good friends.

October 3rd- 5th was SIAA's semiannual event in Boston at the Boston Marriott Copley Place. The event brought in SIAA members from across the nation. Team members Tony Caldwell, Jenn Fabian, and LeAnn Sanderson, all had a chance to represent OAA at the event.
Overall, OAA was able to witness firsthand that carriers value the relationship between them and SIAA members and look to us to be their flagship partner. Secondly, OAA is on the cutting edge of all the alliance members in the US.
Tony Caldwell had the chance to tour Liberty Mutual's Solaria Labs and WeWork. SIAA is Liberty Mutual's first $1 Billion dollar partner. Liberty Mutual Innovation is the "innovation hub of Liberty Mutual Insurance, integrating several initiatives and business teams, including Consumer Markets, Information Technology, and Strategic Ventures".
This space allows LM team members to think like a start-up instead of a century-year old company (read more), testing new products and services. Caldwell mentioned in an OAA team huddle that he was impressed with LM's commitment to creating an atmosphere that celebrates trial and error. A few of the photos are below!
Friday night was the Awards and Presentation Dinner. To put a cherry on top a great event, OAA's Creative team was surprised by accepting the National Newsletter Contest 1st place prize. The creative team of Samantha Cassidy and LeAnn Sanderson have worked hard to ensure that OAA's newsletter is always packed with engaging content. Congratulations!
Thank you SIAA for an amazing time. Heading toward the end of the year and planning for 2019, the OAA Team is feeling full of gratitude, and also very invigorated for what's up ahead. Check in on the OAA News page at http://oaaonline.net/news/ to keep updated with the latest on what's happening at OAA.

Noah Cyrus Rocks Statement Outfit With 'Girl Power' Shirt at Kid's Choice Awards
Get the Most Popular Beauty World News Stories in a Weekly Newsletter
It is never too late to talk about what happens during an award show, especially when it comes to red carpet outfits. And this time, even celebs attending Kid's Choice Awards got a little bit political. Just like her older sister, Noah Cyrus began to show that she could be vocal about her political perspective.
According to Hollywood Life, Noah Cyrus, 17, already knows how to put herself in front of paparazzi camera flash. Miley Cyrus' younger sister is known for her rock 'n roll style and would take a fashion risk. For the Kid's Choice Awards, Cyrus chose to wear a pink shirt with "Girl Power" on it, combined with pink velvet skirt. She looks very edgy, which is appropriate for the award that is more casual like Nickelodeon's KCA.
For the hair, she rocked a half ponytail while some parts on the side of her black hair let flow. Noah Cyrus also got her nose piercing on, and her subtle makeup just made her look even more daring. Besides her Glorious "Girl Power" shirt and the velvet mini skirt from MSGM, she also wore a spiked accented choker from Alexis Bittar and a pair of pink high heels from Loriblu, as noted by Steal Her Style.
But her "Girl Power" shirt is what attracts people attentions. Noah Cyrus might be following her big sister's step to be a vocal feminist, which is a great thing. Miley Cyrus is known for her feminist point of view as well as her LGBTQ activism, supporting the young LGBTQ and homeless community through her non-profit organization called Happy Hippie Foundation, as reported by TIME.
Miley is always very open when it comes to expressing her views on the women and gender equality issues as well as about her sexuality. She has openly admitted in the past how she rejects the idea of labeling gender and sexuality. According to the Telegraph, Cyrus has also stated that she is "one of the biggest feminists in the world."
And maybe, Miley's little sister, Noah Cyrus is following the former Hannah Montana's steps, including her feminist views expressed through her fashion. But one thing that is very obvious is that Noah Cyrus has her amazing musical talent and fashion tastes, just like her sister.

The program for horses and camels who work at the Pyramids, giving rides to tourists, has provided feeding and vet care to over 6,000 animals since this past July.
This is one of a series of such programs carried out by ESAF and other Egyptian animal groups, over a number of years, for the working animals at the Pyramids. This most recent special project has come to a successful close. Their ongoing, regular work with the Pyramids animals will continue.
The periodic unrest in Egypt has caused great hardship for the animals because, when there are few tourists, there is no income for the animal owners, who then have difficulty providing food and vet care to their animals. ESAF's programs are a great help to them, and they will be continuing twice-weekly clinics in the Pyramids area, as well as their usual work in the area around ESAF's shelter.

We're living in the era of the "gig economy." Today more people than ever — over 30% of the U.S. workforce — work as independent contractors, temporary workers, consultants, and freelancers, and that number is only expected to grow.
As an IT staffing firm, we've seen firsthand the ways in which both workers and businesses benefit from the flexibility that contract work provides.
But it's not without its complications. One area that often causes confusion is how employees are classified.
Why Is Employee Classification So Important?
Generally, contractors are classified in one of two ways, as a W-2 employee or as an independent contractor, on a 1099 basis.
Some employers prefer to use 1099 workers because they believe it's advantageous from a financial perspective. And in fact, as many as 20% of employers have actually misclassified employees as contractors.
That misclassification can have serious consequences, for the employee, the staffing firm, and the employer. Tech companies like Microsoft, and more recently, Uber, have both faced lawsuits over potential misclassification of workers.
That's not to say that 1099s don't have their place, and many IT staffing firms do use both.
But it's important for both workers and employers to understand the difference and ensure that the correct designation is being used.
What Is a W-2 Employee?
A W-2 Employee is an employee of a company who is paid wages. W-2 refers to Form W-2, which is an Internal Revenue tax form. Employers are required to provide the IRS with a W-2 statement at the end of each year.
W-2 employment status working for an IT staffing firm means that you are an employee of the IT staffing firm.
The staffing company must adhere to all employment laws that protect employees and must contribute employer taxes, such as your Social Security match and other payroll taxes.
What Is an Independent Contractor?
Independent contractors actually fall into two different categories: 1099/Corp to Corp or 1099 on Social Security number. This is confusing because while both of these types receive 1099s, there is an important difference between the two, as you'll see below.
As an independent contractor, your employer does not contribute to your payroll taxes and you are generally not protected by employment laws.
However, as we discussed above, there are many complications and exceptions, including the risk that you could be re-classified by the government as an employee.
While both 1099 and Corp to Corp are possible, Corp to Corp is the only one that should be used by a reputable IT staffing company.
Corp to Corp vs. 1099: What's The Difference?
Imagine you have your own small one-person shop consulting company.
You help multiple different clients over a long period of time. You have a business set up, Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), business licenses, a website, contracts, insurance, financial statements, etc.
Sometimes IT staffing companies will have a specialized need for a consultant who has a consulting company that is capable of providing the services that the end client needs.
In these cases, the IT staffing company can pay the consultant on a Corp-to-Corp basis. The consultant will usually provide invoices for services to the IT staffing company and can expect to be paid 30 days from receipt of invoice (although sometimes payment is conditioned on the end client paying first.)
In this arrangement, reputable IT staffing companies will do due diligence to ensure the individual does have a business of their own, checking into business structure such as articles of incorporation, proof of multiple clients, proof of business insurance, etc. The IT staffing firm is subcontracting to an established firm and they are paying them on the EIN number, not the Social Security number.
This is an entirely different arrangement from a worker that is paid as a 1099 contractor to their Social Security number. While it's technically possible for a company to use this arrangement, reputable IT staffing companies will avoid it, due to the legal and risk liabilities that this raises for both the staffing firm and the end client of the services.
Paying a worker on a 1099 basis to their Social Security number is a red flag that this person may be misclassified as an independent contractor Click To Tweet
Paying a worker on a 1099 basis to their Social Security number is a huge red flag for government agencies that this person is highly likely to be misclassified as an independent contractor vs. being considered an employee.
The Bottom Line: Most IT Staffing Companies Work with W-2 Employees
IT staffing companies generally hire contract technology professionals as W-2 employees. They are hiring the person, paying them wages and some level of benefits. Large companies usually require that IT staffing firms hire all workers as W-2 in order to protect themselves from the legal and liability risks of independent contractors.
If you are a client or employee working with an IT staffing firm that pays workers on 1099 basis to their Social Security numbers, you should seriously consider finding a more reputable IT staffing provider.
