Q: Firestore Update Document field and get immidiate response issue getting old data I am trying to doing update firestore field value. It is updating, but I want immediately to use updated document. When I am getting those data that time, it will giving me old data from Firestore first time i hit the api. If I hit the same api twice, then I am getting updated data.
So, i don't understand what is the actual problem
updateProductDetail: async(req, res)=>{
console.log("reqeuest", req.body.creator);
try {
  var productFilterArray = [];
  var counter = 0;
  let collectionRef = db.collection("product_details_temp");
  let query = collectionRef.where('creator', '==', req.body.creator).get()
    .then(snapshot => {
      if (snapshot.empty) {
        console.log('No matching documents.');
        return;
      } else {
        snapshot.forEach(doc => {
          db.collection("product_details_temp").doc(doc.id).update({ "product": req.body.product });
        });

        collectionRef.where('creator', '==', req.body.creator).get()
          .then(snapshot => {
            let  a =[];
            snapshot.forEach(doc => {
              // a = doc.data();
              a.push(doc.data());
            });
            res.send(functions.responseGenerator(200, "successfull", a));
          })
      }
    })
  } catch (error) {
    res.send(
       functions.responseGenerator(error.code, error.message, error.data)
     );
   }

Please help me

A: I also have the same issue, I tried the code in this way :
updateProductDetail: async (req, res)=>{
 try {
  db.collection("product_details_temp")
   .where('creator', '==', req.body.creator).get()
    .then(snapshot => {
        snapshot.forEach(doc => {
          db.collection("product_details_temp").doc(doc.id).update({
        "product": req.body.product });
        });

        controller.getAPI(req,res);

      });
 } catch (error) {
   res.send(
    functions.responseGenerator(error.code, error.message, error.data)
  );
 }
},

 getAPI: async (req, res) =>{
  try{
   db.collection("product_details_temp").where('creator', '==',
   req.body.creator).get()
  .then(snapshot => {
   var A = [];
     snapshot.forEach(doc => {
        A.push(doc.data());
    });
     res.send(functions.responseGenerator(200, "successfull", A));
   }) ;
  } catch (error) {
    res.send(
      functions.responseGenerator(error.code, error.message, error.data)
    );
    }
  }
};

A: I got the solution for this issue by using the setTimeout() function:
setTimeout(() => {
          collectionRef.where('creator', '==', req.body.creator).get()
          .then(snapshot => {
           let a = [];
           snapshot.forEach(doc => {
           a.push(doc.data());
         });
        res.send(functions.responseGenerator(200, "successfull", a));
     })
    }, 2000);

Use this with code like:
updateProductDetail: async(req, res)=>{
  try {
     let collectionRef = db.collection("product_details_temp");
     let query = collectionRef.where('creator', '==', req.body.creator).get()
         .then(snapshot => {
                if (snapshot.empty) {
                   console.log('No matching documents.');
                   return;
                } else {
                   snapshot.forEach(doc => {
                   db.collection("product_details_temp").doc(doc.id).update({
                   "product": req.body.product });
                  });
                }

      setTimeout(() => {
              collectionRef.where('creator', '==', req.body.creator).get()
              .then(snapshot => {
               let a = [];
               snapshot.forEach(doc => {
               a.push(doc.data());
             });
            res.send(functions.responseGenerator(200, "successfull", a));
         })
        }, 2000);

      })
   } catch (error) {
        res.send(
           functions.responseGenerator(error.code, error.message, error.data)
        );
   }

A: It sounds like you have two operations:

*

*A write operation

*A query/read operation that must see the result of the write operation

Code that reads data from or writes data to Firestore runs asynchronously. And to prevent blocking the app, your normal code flow is allowed to continue while the read/write operations runs in the background. That means that the query/read currently runs in your code, the write operation hasn't completed yet, and hence you don't see the result of that write operation in your query.
The solution is to wait until the write operation has completed before starting the query. You already do this with the query, where you use the .then(snapshot => { construct to wait for the results. You'll need to do the same with the update(...) calls, with something like:
  let collectionRef = db.collection("product_details_temp");
  let query = collectionRef.where('creator', '==', req.body.creator).get()
    .then(snapshot => {
      if (snapshot.empty) {
        console.log('No matching documents.');
        return;
      } else {
        let promises = [];
        snapshot.forEach(doc => {
          promises.push(db.collection("product_details_temp").doc(doc.id).update({ "product": req.body.product }));
        });
        Promise.all(promises).then(() => {
          collectionRef.where('creator', '==', req.body.creator).get()
            .then(snapshot => {
              let  a =[];
              snapshot.forEach(doc => {
                a.push(doc.data());
              });
              res.send(functions.responseGenerator(200, "successfull", a));
            })
        })
      }

The main changes here:

*

*This code captures the result of the update calls in a promises array. This gives us a list of promises, which resolve when the write operation completes.

*It then uses Promise.all() to wait for all write operations to complete before starting the query.

Four years ago, Piers Morgan was one of my role models. Piers Morgan is an Arsenal fan. I am an Arsenal fan. Piers Morgan is a journalist. I want to be a journalist. Now, I'm more cognisant of his flaws and whilst I won't go as far as calling him a role model, his career inspires me. I had to unfollow him off Twitter a couple of weeks ago as I had gotten bored of his criticism of Arsene Wenger, another of my inspirations. Piers is annoying. Even worse, if you happen to be on the other side. The reason I enjoyed following him in the first place was cos of the way he took down people like Alan Sugar, Michael Owen and Rio Ferdinand.
I woke up at 6 this morning and as one is bound to do, hopped on Twitter to scoour the latest news. I found a link to a New York Times article that confirmed something that had been in public circulation for a while: The ratings of his CNN show were suffering. In what was a slightly xenophobic article, the suggestion was that he had not done enough to assimilate to the American way of life (sports and gun culture particularly). Later in the day, as everyone woke up and the news went viral, there was a great degree of schadenfreude from people and whilst I can understand it coming for one of the most annoying people on Twitter, there is a sense that people aren't familiar with his career path enough.
Piers Morgan is the Teflon don. There's a reason why he's one of the most relevant journalists in the world. He's an alumna of the Rupert Murdoch school of journalism and edited the now defunct News of the World (owned by Murdoch) becoming the youngest person to edit a daily paper that side of the century. He would later leave for the Daily Mirror, a tenure laden with scandals; Allegations of insider share trading ( It was found that he had invested in a company whose shares had been tipped as a "good buy" by the paper) which he would go on to be cleared of, a case where the paper printed pictures of some football fans supposedly being violent when it turned out they were innocent and acting in self defence (some postmen who lost their jobs as a result of the pictures were reinstated by an Employment Tribunal). There are also the phone hacking allegations which he was still questioned on by the police last December and what eventually led to his sack; Doctored photos. He bounced back from all this, partly assisted by his friend Simon Cowell who with Britain and then, America's Got Talent handed him an opportunity to reinvent himself. There's his fantastic ITV show, Piers Morgan's Life Stories where he interviews prominent personalities and his Twitter account where he can broadcast whatever he wants to almost 4 million followers. From the NYT report, it seems he'll get a spot more suited to his interviewing style where he conducts interviews with famous people as opposed to a daily talk show which whilst granting exposure makes the audience more likely to get weary.
This is reminiscent somewhat of Sir David Frost's ascension to global prominence. Frost who passed away last year was the finest interviewer of a generation. Derided by contemporaries for being an "awful plagiarist" and his modest background, Frost was at the low point of his career when he nabbed THAT exclusive with Richard Nixon where he made the ex American President admit his role in the Watergate scandal for the first time on public record. Game, Set, Match. That interview according to the Sunday Times had "the largest audience for a political interview in television history". That was the jolt Frost's career needed and explains his place in broadcasting and journalism folklore.
There's no guarantee that their careers would toe the same path but I have no doubt that Piers Morgan is going to win, because Piers Morgan always wins. He's savvy enough (he's far brighter than his Twitter feed lets on) and has the connections to secure the interviews we want to see. His brand of journalism is based on convictions and whilst he might not always be right (the Guns issue a case in hand depending on where you stand), it improves the esteem and trust his audience invest in him. No one's going to care if his show was a flop, if he gets to interview Bashir al Assad or Julian Assange in the next month for History always favors the victor.

DJ Richie R.A.S., has made his name in the local space as one of the go-to deejays for bringing a 'real-good' soca vibe. Starting out like many Jamaican deejays, specialising in mixing dancehall music, he sought to expand his repertoire... and now he is a full-fledged event promoter, with a role as one of the directors of Xaymaca International.
"I used to do a lot of the popular events around town and as I progressed, I just found where I needed to define my personality, my character as a deejay. And the soca market is where I gravitated to for that," he told The Sunday Gleaner.
The decision was not to brand himself as a soca deejay, but to strengthen his brand as a Caribbean deejay, giving wider appeal for the international audience.
"That decision has been the best decision I've made," he confessed.
The deejay started his musical journey in high school.
"Like most of the guys then, I spent my time going to the record shops - it carried over into university, and from there, everything pretty much blossomed."
While matriculating, Richie became friends with Andrew Bellamy. Later on, the pair partnered to establish the hit party series, I Love Soca, and at the invitation of Bellamy, Richie joined the Xaymaca International team.
"We've been doing business together since we've been in university. As friends, we buck up in Trinidad and Barbados. Over the last five or six years, we've grown together as friends and as business partners within the market, so it was like a natural movement," Richie said.
Speaking from his own experience, Richie has some advice for other deejays who want to expand their brand to appease audiences regionally.
"Take your money, go to Trinidad, go to Barbados for Cropover. Go somewhere else and learn the culture. I'd recommend Trinidad, seeing as they are the mecca, as far as [Caribbean] carnival and soca is concerned. But you have to invest in yourself," he continued.
DJ Taj (King Taj), DJ Lantern and Dj Bloodline Franco are some next generation deejays, who Richie believes are making the necessary investments.
"Kurt Riley is also a staple, but I mention the younger guys because they have invested probably the last two or three years - and they've been making the trips. So I've seen them in Trinidad, I've seen them at Cropover. They've been putting in the efforts, and I've been seeing the results locally," the deejay told The Sunday Gleaner.


mmm don't know about sailable waters really??
Honestly I dont give so much attention on the Opensim 0.8.2.1 physics posibilities because I use Opensim for education and business purpose. But if you interesting you can make a development aimed on this problem. It will curious to know.
I had been running worldbox on dedicated server and it like same ol thing nothing fancy between 8.2.1 and 9.1 but stable enough. I found out i can save files in database folder of opensim and robust and can copy on new fresh worldbox simple and all accounts and inventory will show up once grid up.

By Richard R. Watkins, MD, MS, FACP, FIDSA, FISAC
Professor of Internal Medicine, Northeast Ohio Medical University; Division of Infectious Diseases, Cleveland Clinic Akron General, Akron, OH
Dr. Watkins reports no financial relationships relevant to this field of study.
SYNOPSIS: A retrospective cohort study found that infectious disease consultation for patients with candidemia resulted in lower 90-day mortality. This was likely a result of strong adherence to guideline- and evidence-based management and the low number of patients who were not treated.
SOURCE: Mejia-Chew C, O'Halloran JA, Olsen MA, et al. Effect of infectious disease consultation on mortality and treatment of patients with Candida bloodstream infections: A retrospective, cohort study. Lancet Infect Dis 2019;19:1336-1344.
Infectious disease (ID) consultation has been shown to improve outcomes for Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, including decreased mortality.1 Mejia-Chew and colleagues sought to determine whether ID consultation would improve mortality similarly in patients with candidemia, as well as what specific aspects of management were associated with patients who did and did not receive ID consultation.
The study was a retrospective cohort analysis that included patients ≥ 18 years of age diagnosed with candidemia between Jan. 1, 2002, and Dec. 31, 2015, from a single tertiary referral center in St. Louis. Patients who died within the first 24 hours of the index blood culture with Candida spp. were excluded, since an ID consultation would have been difficult to obtain in that time frame. ID consultation was defined to include patients who received the consultation 24 hours before and up to seven days after the index blood culture collection date. For patients who did not receive treatment, three categories were established: culture regarded as a contaminant, clinician unaware, and patient left the hospital against medical advice (AMA) before treatment could be started. The primary outcome measured was the 90-day all-cause mortality in patients with candidemia who received ID consultation vs. those who did not.
The analysis included 1,691 patients. Of these, 776 (45.9%) received an ID consultation and 915 (54.1%) did not. Over time, the proportion of patients with ID consultations increased. More patients in the ID consultation group were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) (16% vs. 10%). There was no difference between the two groups in the species of Candida that was isolated or in the selection of the initial antifungal agent. The rate of non-treatment was lower in the ID consultation group (13/776, 2%) than in the no-consultation group (128/915, 14%; P < 0.0001). The reasons for no treatment in the ID consultation group were that the culture was thought to be a contaminant in four patients, the culture results were unknown to the treating physician in eight patients, and one patient left AMA.
Nonpharmacological management differed between the two groups. Central line removal was more common in the ID consultation group (76% vs. 59%), as was the use of echocardiography (56% vs. 33%) and ophthalmological evaluation (53% vs. 17%). The 90-day mortality was lower in the ID consultation group (29% vs. 51%; P < 0.0001). Of the 141 untreated patients, 94 (67%) were dead by day 90. ID consultation was associated with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.81 by the propensity-score model (95% confidence interval, 0.73-0.91; P < 0.0001), which translated to a 19% survival benefit.
Candidemia is associated with high mortality, making appropriate management crucial for patient survival. This is evident in the present study with the finding that 67% of patients with candidemia who were not treated died within 90 days. Although it is likely that not all of these deaths can be attributed to the candidiasis, this grim result highlights the seriousness of Candida in the bloodstream. Therefore, it is disconcerting that in four cases of candidemia, the ID consultant thought it was a contaminant, and no treatment was given. Clearly, this is a quality improvement situation where peer-to-peer feedback is needed.
The Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for the management of patients with candidemia.2 The key factors include source control, such as catheter removal; prompt initiation of antifungal therapy; appropriate duration of therapy; and the need for medical interventions, such as an ophthalmological evaluation and cardiac imaging. Indeed, following the guidelines has been shown previously to lead to improved patient outcomes.3 Presumably, most ID consultants are well-versed on the guidelines, and adherence to them likely explains the improvement in mortality observed in the study by Mejia-Chew and colleagues.
The main strength of the study is the size of the cohort, which is the largest to explore the association between ID consultation and mortality in patients with candidemia. However, there are a few limitations to note. First, like all retrospective analyses, it may have been influenced by unmeasured confounding variables. Second, since it was conducted at a single center, the results might not be generalizable to other settings. For example, it is more common outside of the United States for clinical microbiologists to play a more active role in advising physicians who are managing patients with serious infections, such as candidemia. Finally, selection bias could have affected the results, as some patient populations were underrepresented in each group.
ID consultants play a crucial role in the management of patients with candidemia. As the study by Mejia-Chew and colleagues demonstrates, ID consultation leads to improved 90-day mortality and, therefore, should be the standard of care for all patients with candidemia.

Billboard Bits: Stereophonics, MTV Latin Awards, DMX/Eve
Stories about the Stereophonics, MTV Latin Awards and DMX and Eve.
Drummer Stuart Cable has split Welsh rock trio Stereophonics. In a statement posted yesterday (Sept. 25) on the V2 act's official Web site, front man Kelly Jones says Cable has had "commitment issues" since the release of the band's third album, "Just Enough Education to Perform," in 2001.
"Me and Stuart started a band when I was 12," Jones said. "Emotionally to me this is heartbreaking, I love him like a brother.
Jones noted that Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman will fill in for the upcoming Stereophonics tour, but he's not replacing Cable in the band. "Stuart is irreplaceable," he said. "No one member of the band is bigger than our songs. It's a rock and roll band and the upcoming shows will be rocking."
The band kicks off the brief French and German tour Oct. 2 in Lyon, France.
-- Lars Brandle, London
Dido, Control Machete and the Mars Volta have joined the list of performers for the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America 2003, set for Oct. 23 at the Jackie Gleason Theater in Miami Beach. The show will air live on MTV Latin America and on MTV2 in the U.S.
Previously announced performers are Alejandro Sanz, La Ley, Natalia Lafourcade, Iggy Pop and Sum 41.
-- Leila Cobo, Miami
DMX will guest star on Monday's (Sept. 29) episode of the UPN sitcom "Eve." Starring fellow rapper Eve, the series is set in Miami, where DMX's character will play "the best tattoo artist in Miami."
DMX is tops this week on The Billboard 200 with his latest album, "Grand Champ" (Def Jam). As previously reported, he holds a record as the only artist in the history of the chart to reach No. 1 with his first five albums.

Openly Gay Actor Chris New Says He Won't Play A Character Defined By His Sexuality
On Top Magazine Staff
Out actor Chris New has said that being open about his sexuality has "restricted" his career.
New starred opposite Tom Cullen, who is straight, in the 2011 critically-acclaimed film Weekend, which follows two men as they fall in love over the course of a weekend.
"I'm known as being an out gay actor," New told The Guardian. "But I'm not – or, at least, I'm not just that. I'm an actor, yes, and in my private life I have mainly found that men attract me. I don't see that, or any other singular aspect of my identity, as defining me or as something that I wish to trade on. In my work, I am increasingly allowed to engage in my culture only when that engagement centers on being gay. Being out has done nothing but restrict my career. In the current cultural climate I am invited to participate only on the basis of my supposed oppression. Nothing more is required of me. I live in a cultural ghetto."
"Any role where the character's sexuality is their defining characteristic I turn down. Which means I don't work very much. Or, at least, nowhere near as much as I'd like to," he added.
When asked how he feels about straight actors playing gay roles, New said: "I really don't mind at all. I just hope they are the best actor. And I quietly wish that the role could be defined as something a little more than just gay."

United Way awards over $250,000
The second round of grants went to 25 different nonprofits and organizations working with those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
By Catherine BartLeader / Sentry
SOUTH PORTLAND — United Way of Greater Portland has awarded over $250,000 in grants to 25 nonprofits and groups in the area, including the South Portland Food Cupboard.
This is the second round of grants from the Greater Portland COVID-19 Community Relief Fund, said United Way in a written statement. The total grants awarded has grown to more than $650,000.
On April 9, United Way released its first round of grants to 31 different organizations, nonprofits, and faith-based groups in Cumberland County, the organization said.
The emergency fund was launched in late March to support organizations working with the most vulnerable, United Way said.
"The outpouring of support is a testament to the caring spirit that exists in our community," said Liz Cotter Schlax, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Portland. "We are pleased to be able to quickly award grants to organizations addressing urgent needs across Cumberland County, which continue to mobilize food and supplies and provide access to safe and reliable shelter to individuals and families who desperately need it."
Steffi Cox, executive director of Project G.R.A.C.E., a nonprofit that often works with the South Portland Food Cupboard, expressed gratitude to United Way. Project G.R.A.C.E. also received grant money.
"We are very appreciative to be a United Way of Greater Portland grantee in this second round of very
timely investments in keeping communities safe and whole," she said. "This generous $15,000 grant comes as needs are increasing, but it also builds on our very long and successful history of working together as a community to give a neighbor a helping hand when it is most needed."
United Way said that additional grants will be rewarded on a rolling basis, depending on emergency needs.
"One hundred percent of donations go directly into the community thanks to underwriting support provided by AAA of Northern New England, Bank of America, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, The John T. Gorman Foundation, Sam L. Cohen Foundation, TD Charitable Foundation, Texas Instruments Foundation, and Unum," said United Way.

A few years ago in Texas, Thomas Markovich swore loudly, disrupting a speech by former President Bush. He was arrested and charged with disrupting a meeting, but the court threw it out, saying the state law was too vague. Now the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals is reinstating the case. Markovich's attorney says it's a waste of time, that his client is protected by the First Amendment. But the prosecutor says Markovich may have obviated his First Amendment rights by "substantially impairing" Bush's speech, since Bush stopped speaking after Markovich bellowed his word. Had it been Bush the Younger, whose misadventures with English are well documented, the state would have no case.

Q: The roots of $x^4+4x^3+5x^2+2x+2=0$ one root being $-1+i$ are The roots of $x^4+4x^3+5x^2+2x+2=0$, one root being $-1+i$ are what?
please solve this problem, i need the process of solution

A: When $x = (-1 + i)$, $x^4+4x^3+5x^2+2x+2 = 4$. Since $x^4 = -4$, I will assume that the correct polynomial in question is $$2x^4+4x^3+5x^2+2x+2.$$
Since one root is $-1 + i$, it follows that its conjugate, $-1 - i$, is also a root, and so $(x+1-i)(x+1+i)$ is a factor of the polynomial. Note that
$(x+1-i)(x+1+i)$ is the difference of $(x+1)^2$ and $i^2$; $(x+1-i)(x+1+i) = x^2+2x+2$ . Using long division we can see that
$$\frac {2x^4+4x^3+5x^2+2x+2}{x^2+2x+2} = 2x^2 + 1$$
The solutions of $x^2 = -\frac 12$ are $\sqrt{-1/2} = \pm \frac {i}{\sqrt{2}} = \pm \frac {\sqrt{2}i}{2}$.
Thus the roots of $2x^4+4x^3+5x^2+2x+2 = 0$ are
$$x = -1+i, -1-i, \frac {\sqrt{2}i}{2}, -\frac {\sqrt{2}i}{2}$$

A: Hint: If $-1+i$ is a root, then $-1-i$ is also a root. Now do polynomial long division by $(x+1-i)(x+1+i)$, then solve the remaining quadratic.
However, it seems like $-1+i$ is actually not a root of your polynomial. Did you make an error typing it up?

Being A Freelance Video Game Journalist Sucks Yet I Love It
By vGamerz OpinionZ , August 31, 2015 6:29 am November 2, 2022 0 759
I love being a freelance journalist, I get to choose what I cover, from video games to animations and comics to conventions.
Recently I went to BronyCon and interviewed a few con goers, yes I enjoy the show My Little Pony, I talked to random people whether they were cosplaying or not.
That weekend was filled with me recording and interviewing people; I was even on a panel for Legends of Equestria, a fan made MMO inspired by the show. When I came home and started editing what I had recorded it dawned onto me, I have the freedom to cover events like this because I don't have anybody telling me what is appropriate for my work, soon after I also realized that wasn't a great thing.
While I enjoy the freedom to cover what I want it doesn't cover the fact that I can do that because I'm not tied to a contract. A contract that would pay me to cover these things and help me travel to even more conventions, but would it be worth trading freedom and fun for a ball and chain job?
I wish I could answer that without any doubts, but the truth is, being a freelance journalist sucks.
Getting into the field of journalism is odd, just like many professions, there are a lot of ways to get your work out there but it doesn't mean that it'll be seen.
It's tough to get the attention of IGN or Kotaku and it's just as tough as finding an audience on YouTube. Everybody wants to be entertained, that's why journalism is pushing more video content than ever before, arguably that's why Let's Plays work so well.
In the realm of written work websites are looking for stories that will get people to click on the site and make comments on the story, this gives out a sense of community, when new readers see that they are lead to believe that the site is a well trusted among other gamers and this they will continue to visit.
Editors will try to find the most interesting story they can find, this is why we get the infamous click bait articles, it's easier to get people to visit when you're doing more than just reporting news and/or reviews. Editorials are money makers because the writer can strike up a conversation among readers, for better or worse.
I once wrote an editorial about my thoughts on Japanese games and the reasons many gamers seem to have a dislike for them; I talked about character designs and the obsession with putting clearly underage children in sexual positions and situations. One commenter ripped my article a new one and claimed I was ignorant and didn't understand why the games were made in such a fashion, despite me explaining those things in my piece, needless to say it was the biggest article I had written hit wise. That stupid article brought in readers not because they were interested in looking at how people saw the genre in an intelligent way, they clicked to argue and give their opinions and attack anybody who disagrees with them.
I didn't write another editorial until I joined a different website, there I wrote about how reviewing games wasn't as great as one may have thought, that piece got a few hits, there was nothing controversial about it, nothing that would set readers apart and spark outrage. Readers complain all of the time about any site putting out click bait but they continue to read them and that is why journalists keep making them, they create hits and hits create money, so who cares about integrity when you can create your own controversy and have people visit until they become so familiar with the site they come back due to habits?
What exactly does this have to do with being a freelance journalist? Because I don't get contracts, I only get paid depending on how many hits my article(s) bring in, this is the most common form of payment as this is the cheapest way to pay a writer. That may not sound too bad, until you find out that you're getting paid a certain amount after reaching a certain milestone.
Some sites can't or won't even pay the writers, they will always go with the 'it'll be great exposure and experience,' excuse. People who draw can get away with saying no and demand to be paid, there are a lot of sites where an artist can show off their skills, the same doesn't really apply for writers.
While there are wonderful sites for writers, like Inkspired, they're more for writers to discover and inspire other writers. Many sites that are looking for workers will claim that once they get bigger they will be able to pay, but don't expect any back pay for your past work, and sites get away with it because they know it's difficult for an amateur to get anywhere without having any published work.
Covering Down
Being freelance is great for jumping around and experiencing different sites, the more places you have published work the better, just don't expect to make enough to buy more than just cups of ramen noodles for a few weeks, or months, so how can I afford to travel around and cover events? I can't really, in order to cover special events I have a day job and that job keeps me from leaving too far due to travel expenses.
I have gained enough exposure that from time to time I'll get an email invitation to an event. I got a press pass to New York Comic Con in 2013, I had a chance to go to E3 in 2014 and 2015 but couldn't make it, there were multiple events around New York and even a few outside of the U.S., but I couldn't afford the expenses nor could I get the time off. A contract with a publisher could have covered at least the plane tickets or hotel room, which ever is cheaper.
I know nothing is owed to me, I buy my tickets to travel and hotel rooms, and I enjoy every last bit of it. Because I have to pay for everything out of my own pockets helps keep excited about what I want to do, in a way it keeps me humble. It all comes back to the freedom, the ability to chose what I want because it interest me and I want to share it with others.
It's my choice to join sites that may not pay me much for my work, if at all, I recognize the risks I take by doing this. Going with sites that won't pay I was able to get my start as a video game journalist, with published work I began to move from writing about video game news to traveling to conventions and covering them, it only took three in a half to four years!
Over the years I have reviewed dozens of games and I have reached the point where I don't want to play every game that comes to me in an email. I know that sounds blasphemies to many gamers but it's true, it's exciting at first, being trusted to give an unbiased thoughtful review of a game is a real treat. Sadly after a while you're forced to review games you wouldn't have purchased yourself, but you must still give an honest review and put your personal thoughts aside (If that makes any sense).
What About The Good?
As I mentioned before, I have gained some decent exposure, I was given my own panel at The Boston Festival of Indie Games in 2014. The turnout wasn't big but it was more than I thought it would be, it was great seeing people that were legitimately interested in what I had to say. Even as I write this article there is another small video game convention talking to me about holding a panel for this very subject.
I've had people stop and talk to me about video game journalism, including Gamer Gate, I was able to meet and speak with great people who love video games and the industry. From indie game developers that are starting up with their first game to bigger indie developers like Harmonix, even big publishers like Atlus and Sega.
I wouldn't have been able to experience the joy and frustration of gaming journalism if it wasn't for my decision to bite the bullet and work for exposure and not money. This isn't an editorial to discourage new writers, this piece is to give a small personal glimpse at what to expect when you start off as a freelance journalist.
How Can Readers Help Freelance Journalists?
Patreon and Kickstarter are not ideal for a majority of journalists, very few can do this and find success. Jim Sterling is one of those very few, this is because he has shown the ability and professionalism to do his job efficiently, and because of this his viewers are willing to support him. For others the best way to show support isn't a monthly crowd fund, instead simply sharing their work with social media can do wonders.
Social media is a journalist's best friend, when you share one of their articles it shows the editors that people are responding to the author, this could help justify paying the creator. A lot of freelance video game journalists rely on N4G (News For Gamers), it's one of the few sites aimed at spreading news for small gaming sites. Personally I am not a fan of the site, as are many surprisingly enough, but I still use it because I see it as a necessary evil and it can be a useful tool to attract more readers.
If the author has a YouTube channel give it a look, more views can help give the creator some extra money without you needing to reach into your own pockets. Yes, I know many people use Ad Blocker and they find it justifiable because nobody likes watching ads, but many creators use skippable ads and many websites use those ads to pay their staff.
If you're interested in becoming a freelance video game journalist I hope my ramble was enough to help you prepare for what's out there. This isn't my first editorial on the subject of being a journalist and it won't be my last.
Being a freelance video game journalist sucks, yet I love it and I wouldn't trade it in for all of the E.T cartridges in the world. Now then, where's my contract The Escapist?

Old Rochester Regional School Committee joins call for equitable school funding legislation
BOSTON – With another school year under way and still no action from the Massachusetts Legislature on equitable school funding legislation, the Fund Our Future campaign has announced that more than 100 democratically elected school committees and other local governing boards across the state, including the Old Rochester Regional School Committee and Rochester School Committee, have passed resolutions asking the state Legislature to pass legislation that fully implements the recommendations of the bipartisan Foundation Budget Review Commission. That legislation, known as the Promise Act, would increase state funding for preK-12 schools in Massachusetts by more than $1 billion annually, according to a press release.

Horizon Leader Group (HLG) is excited to announce that former first round NBA draft pick of the Philadelphia 76er's and Toronto Raptors, TSN broadcasting veteran Leo Rautins, has joined the firm as the latest addition to its world-class team of Managing Members.
A member of Canada's Basketball Hall of Fame, and considered one of the best ever Canadian-born players, Rautins has been at the forefront of Canadian basketball for more than three decades. With an outstanding reputation in the business of sports community, Rautins brings a combination of extensive experiences to HLG as an NBA professional athlete, Canadian National Team Head Coach, successful businessman, and studio and courtside commentator for the NBA Raptors.
"Leo's career development and transition path embodies what forward-thinking athletes should be and can be," said HLG partner Joe Jackman. "From his studies at Syracuse University, to his off-season internship, to his National Team coaching experiences and his multiple business ventures, and lengthy career as an NBA analyst and commentator, Leo strategically mapped out a game plan, overcoming the many 'life after sport' hurdles that limit others, and has enjoyed phenomenal success beyond his playing career. Leo serves as a fabulous role model, mentor, brand ambassador and spokesperson for our game-changing services and he will help us accelerate and execute our strategic vision and growth moving forward."
Rautins joins HLG members, elite athletes turned entrepreneurs, philanthropists and influential community leaders: Steven Caldwell, a 17-year professional footballer in the Premier League and MLS, and currently an on-air analyst for TSN; Ian Leggatt, a 19-year PGA pro golfer and Tour winner, currently an analyst at Rogers Sportsnet; Jocelyn Lemieux, a 13-year NHL athlete presently an analyst for RDS/TSN; and Dr. Patrick Graham, a former NHL athlete and presently the Official Consulting Chiropractor for MLB's Toronto Blue Jays.
"I've seen a fundamental shift in athlete culture. Next-gen athletes, understand that they're much more than just athletes: they're striving to be entrepreneurs and philanthropists; they want their voice to be heard beyond the locker room, to share their unique personalities, interests and meaningful causes, to make a difference," commented Rautins. "What I find most compelling is HLG's 'built by athletes, for athletes' coaching and mentoring business model. With the proper guidance, athletes can make better educated sport, business, and life decisions to ensure a smooth transition to what's next." Every day I speak to athletes who are looking for direction to elevate their game on the court, or in the business world, now we can help them avoid the development and transition pains that too many encounter and find sustainable success and fulfillment. Even though I'm pleased with my career evolution – it wasn't easy – I made mistakes, sometimes very costly mistakes – I just wish HLG was around for me when I was playing," Rautins added.

Proposal to convert, expand UC Press building for offices
March 312016, 2 p.m. Nov. 72019

Berkeley's Zoning Adjustments Board will consider a proposal Thursday that would see the UC Press building at 2120 Berkeley Way renovated into a modern 6-story office building with the addition of three new stories.
The proposal, submitted by the Rhoades Planning Group, with a design by Berkeley's Devi Dutta Architecture, was originally submitted to the city in September and has been reviewed by the Design Review Committee.
The plan would retain the existing building, but "completely upgrade and modernize [its] interior while preserving the façade on the first three floors and adding three new levels above," according to the project documents. The remodel of the former publishing house, which is located between Shattuck Avenue and Walnut Street, would create open floor plans, allowing for greater light, install new skylights, windows and building systems.

The proposal calls for a new entry patio to the building with public seating and an area of open space. There would be space for "micro retail" at the front of the building on Berkeley Way, according to the plans. A roof deck for use by the building's occupants would be equipped with photovoltaic panels to maximize energy efficiency in the building.
The current 22,864-square-foot office building would total 41,674 square feet if the proposal is implemented, and top out at 72 feet.
The UC Press building dates back to the 1920s when it was built for use by the United California Express & Storage Co. as a storage warehouse. It was used as the University of California's publishing house for 30 years until the UC Office of the President moved its publishing operations to Oakland and put the property on the market. The building is not listed as a landmark or structure of merit.
A community meeting about the project at the 2120 Berkeley Way site was held in June, but only attended by two people.
The submission stresses the need for more office space in Berkeley which is recognized to be in short supply. "The demand for office space has been concurrent with rapidly rising residential real estate prices and many companies are being priced out of the San Francisco and Peninsula markets and are looking for high quality, contemporary offices in convenient locations near transit," reads the proposal.
The Downtown Area Plan allows for an office building with a maximum height of 120 feet. Developers often favor creating housing over offices, however.
"Offices don't 'pencil out,'" Berkeley's economic development manager Michael Caplan, told Berkeleyside last year. "It's more lucrative for developers to build housing."

'Welcome to the neighborhood': New film shines light on a changing Berkeley


Local advertising space on Mission billboards and transit are currently being replaced with artwork from painters, photographers, and other visual artists — and tech money made it possible.
Dubbed Way Out West, the outdoor exhibition graces 11 billboards, four buses and three Muni shelters in the neighborhood through August 17. It's the first public art installation by a group project called Art City. Luke Groesbeck, who once ran a startup and worked for Eventbrite, founded Art City to help tech build a relationship with the arts community.
Through its fiscal sponsor Intersection for the Arts, Art City received donations of more than $100,000 – almost entirely from tech workers. The funding went largely to advertising space (a Clear Channel billboard can cost around $8,500 a month, though Groesbeck said the project managed to find better deals) and operating costs. The artists — a collection of well-known locals mixed with some artists from around the state — will not be compensated. They will have an opportunity to sell limited edition prints of their work at a formal opening reception July 17.
Zio Ziegler, whose vibrant geometric animals and figures have appeared locally on the walls of Bartlett Street and the Sycamore and will be part of Way Out West, seemed content to provide his work for the love of art, and acknowledged the support of tech workers.
"They are the new patrons. Like it or hate it," Ziegler said.
One passerby seemed skeptical of the project's expense, as he watched the pieces being installed one morning. Mission Bay-resident Benito Rivera, who remodels buildings in the Mission for a living, commented: "That's what they're spending money on? I love art but I don't think the average person is going to care." Instead, he said, he would prefer to see tech contribute to the Mission by assisting those in need.
But organizers say the average person is exactly who the installation is for – those who are least likely to take the time or spend the money to visit a museum or gallery. Art City's broader vision was to turn the entire city of San Francisco into an art gallery by taking over every advertisement in the city. Way Out West is just the beginning of this effort.
Part of the reason why Way Out West is taking place in the Mission is because the neighborhood has a well-established public art tradition. Colorful work by artists like Ziegler, Apex, and Andrew Schoultz have graced Mission walls for years. A few artists known for the do-it-yourself, graffiti-inspired art movement known as Mission School, like Chris Johanson and Alicia McCarthy, are included alongside L.A. and Oakland based artists in this broad-spectrum exhibition.
The pieces in the exhibition explore evocative themes associated with California's unique culture and history, and include commentary on the changes sweeping neighborhoods like the Mission. A photograph of a lightning storm, mounted above an abandoned gas station at 16th and South Van Ness, is an expression of artist Dave Schubert's feelings about the transformation of the Mission.
And for Ziegler, the idea of replacing commercial canvasses with public art is a defiant statement.
"It's not just a disruption of ads, it's a disruption of the institution," Ziegler said.
An opening reception will be held at Heron Arts on July 17th at 7 p.m. Way Out West artwork will remain in place August 17th.
Nobody threw you out of the 'hood. If that happened, you did it to yourself either by your acts or your omissions.
Take responsibility for your own life and decisions instead of looking for someone else to blame for your failures.
I was wondering who would by crying first.you didn't get thrown out.
I am always for replacing ads with art, although I do not necessarily see them as separate entities. But that's for another discussion. Bringing art to the people is becoming more and more prevalent. I'm a bit biased (because I work at Pixelist), but I really feel like certain social media, particularly Instagram, is really cracking the creative minds of people who might not otherwise have been inclined. More art for everyone, and everywhere. It can be argued that money is "better spent" elsewhere, but our nation was founded off creativity – not settling, dreaming, wanting more, believing.

Exclusive look at new photographs by Vivian Maier: U. of C. gets thousands of never-before-seen-prints made by famed photographer
By Steve Johnson
Aug 22, 2019 | 12:02 PM
There are thousands of previously unseen pictures taken and printed by Vivian Maier in the new donation made to the University of Chicago Library.
Yes, they are new images from the Chicago-area nanny who became famous for her photographic eye after her death — and then for the legal tussles that followed her artistic fame. And, yes, a selection of them is being shown publicly in these pages for the first time.
The entire cache includes travel shots, party shots, photos in black-and-white and color, large prints and small ones. They show her working with framing her subjects in the lens and cropping her images in the darkroom. And to a remarkable degree, all the way through the years of these photographs, they show an artist with a gift for shooting people.
A crying girl holds a wrinkled adult hand. Two older women in full dress and makeup gaze back at Maier's lens. A line of workmen pose for the camera, as craggy and iconic as the mountains behind them.
The prints were donated by John Maloof, the Chicago collector who owns the great bulk of known Maier work. After a smaller donation of prints to the university library two years ago, they represent all the Maier prints he owned.
"The history of her as an artist should be rooted somewhere for future generations to access," said Maloof, co-writer and co-director of the Academy Award-nominated 2013 documentary "Finding Vivian Maier." "Let's say a hundred years from now, 50 years from now, a museum in Spain wants to do a street photography show and include Vivian Maier. So they could just go (to Chicago) and be loaned some works or study the work. This assures her legacy a little bit."
But what's perhaps most important and most interesting about the trove is that these are the photos Maier printed herself or paid to have a photo lab print.
More than 2,700 original vintage prints, they represent no small expenditure for a woman who struggled for money her whole life and, indeed, who lost ownership of her work in 2007, two years before her death at age 83, when the contents of her storage locker were auctioned off to satisfy an unpaid rental bill.

"This is a visual diary of sorts of her life," said Laura Letinsky, a visual arts professor at the university and a photographer and artist herself. "And because so little was known about her while she was alive in terms of her art making, her photography making, this is almost like forensics. You're looking through and trying to piece together what she was thinking about and how she was thinking."
In being so demonstrably important to her, the images offer a different window on the photographer. The Maier you think you know is an artist crafted by Maloof and others as they selected work to print, for books and exhibitions, from the more than 130,000 negatives she left behind. But this new Chicago donation is, to a large degree, the photographer that Maier saw herself as.

"It gives a much wider sense of what she was really like as a photographer," said Daniel Meyer, Chicago's special collections director and university archivist. "The published works that have appeared in the books are all selections. They've all been identified by the editors or authors of those books. And I think anyone who comes to use this collection for research will see essentially an unsorted, unselected group that represents the images that she was most interested in seeing in print."
In addition to the photos, the donation includes a range of Maier's cameras, a binder full of newspaper clippings she kept on a wide range of topics, plus some clippings and a few photos she apparently thought especially important, because she put them in basic plastic frames and had them on display in her room.
These cameras, owned by Vivian Maier, were recently donated to University of Chicago. (Abel Uribe / Chicago Tribune)
Going through it all feels more than a little bit voyeuristic, especially when you reach into the folder stuffed with photo printing receipts ("Process only. Do not make prints" is handwritten on one Kodak envelope) and a handwritten thank-you card ("I know you are not 'one' for sentiment but I shall think of you after ... Your friend always, Susanne").
There's even a financial statement that seems to suggest Maier still owes $994 on a storage locker account after three payments of $40 to $60.
Meyer rejected the word "voyeuristic" for the feeling of going through this material. But …
"If any of us goes through the closet or the attic and we're looking at material from our own family's history about our aunt or uncle or grandparent, there's this same kind of sense of revelation," he said. "You knew them in one way, and you see letters or diaries or photographs, and you're brought up short by something you didn't know or didn't understand about them."
That is true about the photographs, too, which, instead of the curated Vivian Maier you might be used to, demonstrate the stops, starts and struggles of a person finding her eye and simply being a working photographer.

It's important, said Maloof, "to show, 'Look, she's doing the same photograph, cropping it five different ways, or printing it various ways.' Or she's shooting the same subject multiple times or she's shooting the same scene in black-and-white and color."
When he was going through the "viral addiction" of scanning in Maier's negatives, back when he first discovered what he had in her work, "I would go through multiple rolls of film, putting them in the scanner, waiting however long to scan it in. And then every so many hours, it would be, 'Ohmigod, that's just incredible!' But there's a lot of mediocre or just stuff that wasn't as good, just as with every single photographer in the history of Earth."
In the best of the prints in the new gift, "she's catching the moment," said Marianne Mather, the Tribune photo editor who combed through folder after folder of prints to choose those the Tribune is sharing with this article. "She does this thing where she's just got this main center of content that she's having you look at. But really what's interesting her is in the background."
But looking at an earlier folder, Mather noted, "These are her experiments. You can see it. Some of her street photography is very loose at this point. And there are images that she's printed in these large prints that are completely out of focus. But there's a moment in there. You can see the moment, and then you can see where her eye is going with it. But she's not quite there yet."
Video: The Vivian Maier mural on North Avenue »
Flipping through the pictures in the new gift, the viewer can see Maier's sense of social justice. She photographs a range of racist graffiti she apparently spotted, anti-black, anti-Irish, pro-Nazi. In the 1970s, when she seems to be working more in color, she's more self consciously arty, as in a number of shots of crumpled newspaper pages in a waste bin. But she's also striving, it seems, to document the death of Mayor Richard J. Daley, more like a newspaper photographer might, and printing those pictures as well.
It's necessary for students to be able to witness such artistic process, said Letinsky, the visual arts professor. "For us it's really important just to see somebody whose ideas are developing and coming into a more deliberate, more artistic kind of approach," she said. "For students who are making work to see the extent of the kind of inquiry that one does in becoming an artist or being a maker — that it's not just, 'My first 10 rolls of film are going to be genius and then I'm going to be done' — I think that's really important."
The collection will be available to anyone who wants to come look at it as soon as the library completes the process of cataloging the material, Meyer said. Then, too, is when it can think about mounting exhibitions based on it. It's no great stretch to imagine something along the lines of "Vivian Maier Speaks for Herself."
At minimum, though it offers the power that detailed archives do, said Meyer.
"I think anyone who looks at this collection having seen one of the Vivian Maier books or the films, will have this same experience," he said. "'That wasn't in the movie.' 'I didn't see that in the book.' 'I didn't know she took pictures like that.' 'I didn't know she visited this particular city or village.'
"And I think that's what this collection really does. It provides that fresh, unfiltered encounter with a person who has become famous and well known in a certain way, with a certain identity. This collection provides the opportunity for anyone to come in and get their own sense of who she was."
A TIMELINE OF THE VIVIAN MAIER SAGA
1956: Maier, who was born Feb. 1, 1926, in the Bronx to a French mother and Austrian father, goes to work for the Gensburg family in Highland Park, in Chicago's north suburbs. She is no stranger to photography, having lived for a time with her mother and the noted French photographer Jeanne Bertrand during her childhood in the New York area.
1950s and 1960s: While caring for the three Gensburg boys, Maier also makes time to take pictures. They will later recall being brought to some rough neighborhoods so that their beloved nanny could pursue photography, mostly with her German-made Rolleiflex. At the Gensburgs, she has use of a darkroom.
1970s: Leaving the Gensburg family after the children are grown, she also leaves behind their darkroom. "As she would move from family to family, her rolls of undeveloped, unprinted work began to collect," according to vivianmaier.com, Maloof's website. She worked briefly in the home of talk-show host Phil Donahue.
1980s: Maier continues taking pictures. She was by now shooting mostly color on a Leica and other SLR cameras and the people on the street she focused on earlier had been replaced by "found objects, newspapers and graffiti," says vivianmaier.com.
1990s: Maier slips into starker poverty and stops being able to get her film processed. The undeveloped rolls pile up.
2000s: At some point Maier stops taking pictures and puts her cameras, other belongings and photos into storage. Homeless for a time, she also lives in a small studio the Gensburgs help to pay for.
2007: Her belongings are auctioned off for failure to pay rent. John Maloof and Jeffrey Goldstein are among the buyers of the materials. Maloof becomes entranced by what he sees in the negatives and eventually buys up other lots to amass about 90 percent of Maier's work, said to total 130,000 or more negatives.
2008: Maier slips on ice in downtown Chicago and strikes her head. Her health declines, she moves into an Oak Park nursing home, and she dies on April 21, 2009 at age 83.
2009: Maloof links on the photo site Flickr to the pictures he has been posting on his Vivian Maier blog, and a kind of mania begins.
Early 2010s: Maloof and Goldstein separately sell prints and get Maier's work into books and exhibitions. Maloof says he has found a Maier cousin in France and paid him $5,000 for the rights to the images.
2013: "Finding Vivian Maier," a documentary by Maloof and Charlie Siskel, is released to positive reviews and an Oscar nomination. It loses to "Citizenfour."
2014: David Deal, a Virginia lawyer and avid photographer, tells Cook County courts he has found another Maier cousin in France and asks the court to name that cousin heir to the Maier estate. This results in the Cook County public administrator taking over what it considers an unsettled estate.
2016: The county reaches a settlement with Maloof that allows him to produce and exhibit Maier's work and keep an undisclosed portion of profits. The estate keeps the rest. Exhibitions crafted from the Maloof Collection are booked to the present day and beyond, mostly in Europe.
2017: The public administrator sues Goldstein for copyright infringement. The suit claims he illegally profited from selling Maier's work and illegally sold his 17,500 Maier negatives to a Toronto art dealer, who then sold them to Swiss investors. Goldstein had previously told the Tribune "I'd rather cut my wrists" than partner with the county.
2018: Lawyers present Cook County with genealogy work showing 10 potential Maier heirs in Europe. The county says it wants proof that Maier's late brother never had children, people who would be more direct heirs.
2019: With the estate's blessing, Maloof makes the second of two major donations to the University of Chicago Library to preserve Maier's legacy, he says. The key material is all the prints Maier herself made that Maloof had in his possession.
Update: The photographs displayed with this story have been changed.
