Former iStockphoto Founder Looks Ahead with Already Profitable Stocksy
It wasn't long after Bruce Livingstone sold iStockphoto to Getty Images before he was back in the "stock photo game". That sale came in February 2006 for a price tag of $50 million.
But in between the sale and this past March when he founded his new stock photo coop, Stocksy, something changed. People who were making a living off of iStockphoto before Getty implemented changes to the site's structure were quickly disillusioned thereafter. The system in place where contributors could earn higher royalty rates over the amount of time they served the site was scrapped.
"I wasn't done," Livingstone told BetaKit, on returning to the stock photo industry. "At iStock some people were making a living and they sort of had the rug pulled out underneath them. Now they're feeling sort of disenfranchised, their voices are fragmented and they're kind of desperate for a sale."
But the stock photo industry, which Livingstone guesses is valued somewhere around $2.5 billion, still has a lot of money to go around provided someone creates the right communities. That's what Livingstone was trying to do.
It isn't a startup in the traditional sense, as there's no VC funding and no one person owning a large amount of equity. Livingstone is financing it through a shareholder loan and all the profits are meant to go to the photographers (or members). It pays all photographers 50 percent royalties for all photos and at the end of the year, it divides 90 percent of its profits equally among contributors and other shareholders.
"We're jointly owned with the photographers," said Livingstone. "It's member driven and they get a voice, a vote. It was created for their benefit and we share efforts, equity and profit."
Since the March launch things are been looking up for the company. As of November Stocksy is profitable, a quick runway that took just seven months.
Stocksy features about 65,000 images submitted by 480 photographers. It will bring its last 20 on before the new year, going along with its 500 new photographers every year limit. A small, blog-sized photo goes for $10.
iStockphoto has about 120,000 photographers submitting about 20 million photos to the site, which is one of the reasons why people aren't making as much money. The competition is high. "So we're focusing on being small and boutique and having really incredible images that are sort of modern aesthetic, that support new ideas for innovation," he said. "Because I think the world had enough of that old stock photography model."
"We're trying to make sure that we don't create an ecosystem where there's too much competition in our own ranks," said Livingstone. "
All that was left to ask the successful CEO was whether he was happy. It's a question we don't often ask in business journalism interviews, but I wanted to know after a huge sale and a new company that is already riding a positive wave, how is life for Bruce?
"I couldn't be happier. I think this will be the last business I start and the last one I work with," he said. "I wasn't done and I really wanted to create something that would be sustainable. I really hope that people will look at this model and say wow, that model can actually work, maybe we should try."

It's been 17 years since the bag made from truck tarpaulins and seat belts was invented by the Freitag brothers in Zurich. The recycled materials were intended to lower production costs and create an industrial-strength product. This concept positioned Freitag bags as "green," re-using industrial waste, and personal, because every Freitag bag is unique. The concept goes as far as giving customers the possibility to have their bag custom-made by choosing the materials online. The Freitag bags have caught on quickly with trendy, hip urban consumers willing to pay top dollar for green personality.

6 reasons COVID-19 death rates are improving
spotlight AP
Lisa M. Krieger, The Mercury News (TNS)
Sep 30, 2020 Updated Oct 16, 2020
The sickest coronavirus patients can live for weeks with a gripping headache, profound nausea, burning lungs, malaise, cough and waves of pain in their bones. They may be tethered to a breathing machine. But eight months into the pandemic, fewer are dying.
New data reveal that while patients are still being rushed to intensive care units, a greater proportion are coming out alive. Since the pandemic began, the cumulative death rate for Californians with COVID-19 has fallen by more than half in the past three months. In early June, it was 5.87%; by Sept. 13, it was down to 2.14%.
Some of the decline simply reflects a shift in testing, as infections in younger and healthier people are diagnosed. But that doesn't explain all of it. There also have been fundamental improvements in how we prepare and care for the sickest patients, according to interviews with top medical experts.
A ventilator helps a COVID-19 patient breathe inside the Coronavirus Unit in July at United Memorial Medical Center in Houston.
David J. Phillip, Associated Press
"These declines in the case fatality ratios are striking," said Dr. George Lemp, an epidemiologist and former director of the HIV/AIDS Research Program at UC's Office of the President, who analyzed death rates using state data.
"We should applaud and appreciate the medical community for being able to find rapid ways to improve the outcome of this life-threatening illness," he said.
Here are six major reasons why the death rate is falling:
1. More testing
When the pandemic first hit, only people with severe symptoms were tested. Now expanded testing is detecting milder and earlier cases, so the prognosis is better, said UCSF epidemiologist Dr. George Rutherford. We're also diagnosing more infections in younger people, who fare better. Early on, we focused a lot of testing on outbreaks in nursing care facilities, where the sick and elderly face slimmer odds of survival. Now, fewer of this vulnerable population is getting sick.
As the patient mix has changed, so has the math, explained Rutherford. The denominator — the total number of cases — has grown faster than the numerator — total deaths. So the overall mortality rate is falling.
2. Better preparation
Hospitals cite "the four S's" needed for effective "surge" planning: staff, supplies, space and systems. Managing a patient on a ventilator, in particular, is a labor-intensive and delicate task.
During a surge of cases, hospitals in Southern California fell short on all four of these metrics, nearly hitting capacity. Some patients were intubated in emergency rooms instead of the intensive care units. Hospitals were forced to use older equipment, as well as doctors and nurses from outside hospitals who were less familiar with procedures and life-saving devices.

3. Improved use of ventilators
Doctors now have a better understanding of how to manage breathing in severely ill patients, said Dr. Andra Blomkalns, chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Stanford Medicine.
Initially seen as a last-ditch measure — and a sign of impending death — doctors now recognize the value of putting people on mechanical ventilation early, if needed, she said.
"We used to say 'someone doesn't quite need it yet, let's see how they do in the hospital.' That hasn't worked well," she said. "We've resolved that if they have to be on it, it's better to put them on it earlier rather than wait until too late."
We've also gotten better at fine-tuning ventilation, understanding the optimal amount of oxygen, pressure and time between breaths, she said. We've learned to be very gentle on the lungs.

4. Other interventions
Clinicians are also more skilled at deploying other tactics.
We've enlisted "proning," where a team of caregivers gently roll a patient from their back onto their abdomen, said Dr. Alan Chausow, chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Palo Alto Medical Foundation and medical director of the Critical Care Unit at Mountain View's El Camino Hospital. When the patient is lying face down, it's easier for the back of their lungs to expand.
"It's not comfortable to lay on your tummy. But it definitely helps," he said. "We've been proning people for other diseases for 10 years. We're just taking that experience and adding onto it."
We've also learned to be especially vigilant in the prevention of other infections, Chausow said. In the ICU, for instance, use of a urinary catheter boosts the risk of deadly infection.
And now that research shows COVID-19 boosts the risk of lethal blood clots, doctors monitor blood more closely, and increase the use of preventive blood thinners, experts said.
Virus by the numbers: These 9 charts show you how, where the virus spreads in our state and nation
Associated Press, Lee Digital Content Center
5. New medications
Use of drugs such as remdesivir and the steroid dexamethasone may be helping.
Remdesivir, authorized on May 1, shortens the recovery time for some of the sickest patients. While it blocks the virus from replicating, it's unclear whether it's actually keeping more people alive. In clinical trials, death rates are slightly lower — 7.1% vs. 11.9% — but this difference was not statistically significant.
The common steroid called dexamethasone, authorized in mid-July, has been proven to reduce deaths of patients on ventilators by one-third; in patients receiving supplemental oxygen, but not on ventilators, it cut deaths by one-fifth.
One drug is more appropriate for some patients; the second is better for others. Sometimes both are used.
"At the beginning, people were very ill and we had simply nothing to offer them," said UCSF's Gandhi.
This week, drug maker Eli Lilly announced that a single infusion of its experimental monoclonal antibody — a manufactured copy of the body's natural protective antibody — reduced hospitalizations by 72 percent. The research has not yet been published or reviewed by independent scientists.
Some patients may also be benefiting from participation in clinical trials for experimental drugs that subdue a lethal immune response, called a "cytokine storm." There's preliminary evidence that patients given the drug Tocilizumab, originally designed for rheumatoid arthritis, were 45% less likely to die. Blood pressure drugs may mute the chemical signals that precede cytokines. The FDA has authorized the use of a cartridge that continually filters excess cytokines from the blood.
6. Better information-sharing
Clinicians aren't waiting to get their news through formal channels; instead, they're talking to each other, in hospital Grand Rounds and other forums. There's more communication and collaboration, said Stanford's Blomkalns.
"Initially, everything was rumor," said El Camino's Chausow. "Now we're practicing more evidence-based medicine."
"It's a tough, tough disease, which nobody thinks will go away. It will be a part of our lives, long term," he said. "So getting answers will really involve good data."
The best way to reduce death, he said, is to prevent infection altogether, through mask-wearing and social distancing.

Kulig, a U.S. Navy veteran and resident of the Soldier's Home in Holyoke, Mass., died from the COVID-19 virus at the age of 92. After saying goodbye to her father for the last time in person, Elizabeth slept in the spare bedroom upstairs for two weeks as a precaution against possibly infecting her husband.

Riverdance 25th Anniversary Show
The original just got better
Riverdance, as you've never seen it before!
The iconic Irish dance show celebrates 25th years of success with a completely redesigned production.
A powerful and stirring reinvention of this beloved favourite, celebrated the world over for its Grammy award-winning score and the thrilling energy and passion of its Irish and international dance.
Twenty-five years on, composer Bill Whelan has rerecorded his mesmerising soundtrack while producer Moya Doherty and director John McColgan have completely reimagined the ground-breaking show with innovative and spectacular lighting, projection, stage and costume designs.
Immerse yourself in the extraordinary power and grace of its music and dance – beloved by fans of all ages. Fall in love with the magic of Riverdance all over again.
For over 25 years, nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance. Riverdance began its journey as the interval act in the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, produced for television by Moya Doherty. This electrifying and innovative seven-minute dance piece was then developed into a full-length stage show by Producer Moya Doherty, Composer Bill Whelan and Director John McColgan. With its fusion of Irish and International music and dance, the show broke all box office records during its world première run in Dublin in early 1995. When the show transferred to London the reaction was unprecedented. There followed a hugely successful tour starting in New York in March 1996, where 8 sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall heralded the start of two decades of touring by Riverdance companies throughout North America. Since its inception Riverdance has packed theatres throughout North America, Oceania, Asia, Europe, South Africa and South America.
Riverdance – The 25th Anniversary Tour will be showing at Kursaal Oostende from 21 to 26 July 2020. Tickets from 45 euros are on sale now on www.riverdance.be.

Q: GraphQL requesting fields that don't exist without error I'm trying to handle backwards compatibility with my GraphQL API.
We have on-premise servers that get periodically updated based off of when they connect to the internet. We have a Mobile app that talks to the on-premise server.
Problem
We get into an issue where the Mobile app is up to date and the on-premise server isn't. When a change in the Schema occurs, it causes issues.
Example
Product version 1
type Product {
 name: String
}

Product version 2
type Product {
 name: String
 account: String
}

New version of mobile app asks for:
product(id: "12345") {
  name
  account
}

Because account is not valid in version 1, I get the error:

"Cannot query field \"account\" on type \"Product\"."

Does anyone know how I can avoid this issue so I don't recieve this particular error. I'm totally fine with account coming back with Null or just some other plan of attack for updating Schema's. But having it completely blow up with no response is not good

A: Your question did not specify what you're actually using on the backend. But it should be possible to customize the validation rules a GraphQL service uses in any implementation based on the JavaScript reference implementation. Here's how you do it in GraphQL.js:
const { execute, parse, specifiedRules, validate } = require('graphql')

const validationRules = specifiedRules.filter(rule => rule.name !== 'FieldsOnCorrectType')
const document = parse(someQuery)
const errors = validate(schema, document, validationRules)
const data = await execute({ schema, document })

By omitting the FieldsOnCorrectType rule, you won't get any errors and unrecognized fields will simply be left off the response.
But you really shouldn't do that.
Modifying the validation rules will result in spec-breaking changes to your server, which can cause issues with client libraries and other tools you use.
This issue really boils down to your deployment process. You should not push new versions of the client that depend on a newer version of the server API until that version is deployed to the server. Period. That would hold true regardless of whether you're using GraphQL, REST, SOAP, etc.

Virtual artist Miquela debuted a music video at Lollapalooza
03/08/2020 04/08/2020 Victor brown	0 Comments
Lollapalooza moved online this year, and the song entertainment kicked off in an properly online way: with the appearance of a new music video from virtual author Miquela. The video is an uniquely CG affair, created remotely, for the single "Hard Feelings." It describes Miquela and a party crew on the back of a flatbed truck, as they wind their way through a wilderness landscape that deliberately morphs into something more surreal.
For the uninformed, Miquela is a digital avatar that started out as a CG influencer on Instagram and has since developed into the world of music, publishing several singles and music videos since 2017. She's part of a burgeoning field of digital influencers.
According to Nicole de Ayora, CCO of Brud, the organization after Miquela, the Lollapalooza video reveal came about after the festival decided to shift to an online format. The "Hard Feelings" video also differs from her past song videos in a few ways. To start, it was designed entirely remotely; there was a director in Toronto, a New York-based choreographer, and other patrons in Los Angeles and abroad.

Patrick joined the PBI staff in September 2015 literally at the doorstep of Major League Baseball. A two-year varsity starter at St. Joseph's (Montvale), Patrick set the single-season home run record (14) in his senior year in a lineup that included current Chicago Cubs infielder Tommy La Stella. Patrick went to Rutgers where he focused on football. In the spring of his senior year he returned to baseball and put up an incredible .392/.480/.693 season that included 14 home runs, 50 runs batted in and 24 stolen bases in 51 games. It was no surprise when he was named Big East Player of the Year.
Patrick was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the fourth round of the 2012 MLB draft and moved through the Mariners minor league system. He was traded to the Texas Rangers during the 2015 off-season and started 2016 in their minor league system. He was traded back to Seattle in May 2016 and acquired by the San Diego Padres in August 2016. He made his MLB debut on August 20, 2016 and marked the occasion by hitting a 461-foot home run for his first big league hit!
Patrick was acquired by the Cincinnati Reds just prior to the end of the 2016 regular season; he was also named one of the 50 greatest athletes in Rutgers history by the Star Ledger He played in the New York Mets minor league system in 2018 and was signed by the Arizona Diamondbacks where he finished the season at the MLB level. Patrick signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates in October 2018.

RAMOS-ORDONEZ, María Felix; ARIZMENDI, María del Coro; FLORES-ENRIQUEZ, Valeria y MARQUEZ-GUZMAN, Judith. Extraction and embryo morphology of Bursera bipinnata (Burseraceae). Act. Bot. Mex [online]. 2016, n.117, pp.27-35. ISSN 2448-7589. http://dx.doi.org/10.21829/abm117.2016.1165.
The understanding of the reproductive biology of plants, from the formation of the seed to its establishment, allows the development of different conservation strategies. In the genus Bursera, whose main center of diversification is Mexico, the diaspore is a pyrene formed by a strongly lignified endocarp enclosing the seed. The anatomical characteristics of the pyrene and the parthenocarpy are the main factors that have hindered the study of embryogenesis and the development of propagation techniques. In this paper we describe the morphology of the Bursera bipinnata embryo, extracted by a technique that does not alter the structure or the chemical composition of tissues.
During the beginning of the dispersal stage 2014, we collected unripe fruits and pyrenes with exposed pseudaril. Unripe fruits were fixed in FAA. A low speed micromotor with handpiece was used. A conical burr was used in unripe fruits to scabble the fruit valves. To open the pyrenes a diamond disc was used. After opening the endocarp, embryos were removed and fixed.
The pattern of development coincides with other model species of angiosperms. In immature fruits globular, heart-shaped, torpedo and cotyledonary stages were observed, the latter in early stages. During the torpedo stage, cotyledons branch into three lobes and are spliced, as they grow, they are folded upon themselves, and cover the embryonic axis; however, the radicular meristem is always exposed.
The extraction technique is rapid, inexpensive and non-destructive to tissues, having a potential use in the detailed analysis of embryogenesis in the genus Bursera, tissue culture and ex situ conservation.
Palabras llave : Burseraceae; cotyledon; embryogenesis; extraction technique; pyrene; seed.

Here, we are up with the list of the candidates who are going to contest the Punjab Vidhan Sabha State Elections. See the gallery by clicking next button.


How hard can it be to start a business?
The answer … Not hard at all!
That's a fact. To start a business, all you have to do is follow your passion and START. For most people, that is actually the hardest part. Fear keeps them chained to their day job. My very Chinese parents knocked into me that if I study hard and get good grades, I would get a good job. And with that good job, all I had to do was work hard, scrimp and save and I will retire happily ever after. Owning a business is not for the likes of me.
But we live in a different world today. We're living in a very different world where the traditional path to success just doesn't cut it. You can do all the "right" things and still retire poverty stricken relying on the government pension (if it's still there by the time you retire). In today's world, the fastest way to building immeasurable wealth is by owning a business. How wealthy can you get working for a fixed salary at a fixed rate while you're making ends meet by being frugal. Statistics show that people who work for themselves are 4 times more likely to become millionaires than those who work for someone else.
Not only does owning your own business give you a better chance of being wealthy, most tax systems also provide an incentive for people to be self employed. Expenses that are not tax deductible to a salaried employee will often be tax deductible if you're self employed. In my world, this says that I can earn the same amount of income but more ends up in my pocket if I own my own business! That's pretty good odds! That means I can work less and earn the same amount of income or work more and have enough money to be able to do all those things I would have had to scrimp and save for! The once a year annual holiday to the local seaside was not for me. Give me the cruise to Alaska, the 5 star hotel in Europe and the first class plane travel any day!
Take it from me. I have started numerous businesses for myself. When I started my first business at just 20 years of age, I did ask myself "How hard can it be?". Then I jumped straight in – I was young, naive, foolish and I was invincible. Fear never entered my mind then. That doubt only entered much later when I started my second business – experience is a great teacher! But I still jumped in. I think that was my very high "D" personality that kicked in to overcome the doubts. And since then, I have also helped a lot of clients start their own business. I have lived and breathed business all my life. It really is not that hard.
Of course, how successful a business will become after you start is a different story. Anyone can start a business. Thousands do it every day. But thousands will also fail every day. You've read the statistics … 8 out of 10 businesses fail in the first 5 years and many of the owners scuttle back into the safety of being an employee (although I would question whether being an employee is that safe in today's environment of cost cutting, redundancies, etc). You don't want to be one of those.
What you need is to have the steps laid out for you. You need a system that shows you the HOW. You want a system that will maximise your chances of success with the business you start. You need a mentor to guide you as you step out on your adventure. At the end of the day, you want to know that your work will pay off, that each step you take in starting your business will be fruitful and move you further along the success path. Is that possible? Yes it is.
My first foray into business 40 years ago happened pre-internet. I didn't even have Mr Google to help me. I had to learn the hard way. Today everything we need to know are all at our fingertips and even if we had to pay for it, it costs next to nothing to buy. So how hard can it be to start a business? Not hard at all!


You're Strong. You're Magic. You're YOU – and that's more than enough. You've heard by now, but this month has been all about #womensupportingwomen in the work/shop. Helping us fight off imposter syndrome by supporting one another and raising each other up to where we belong – owning what we do and taking up the space we deserve.
You, my amazing amazing community, have been so wonderful. Generously sharing your stories, giving shout outs to other female founders and spreading the word! But it must continue beyond March, into the rest of the year and beyond, to help real change and start pumping that extra into our economy!
With the Rose Report now published, we have a road map and starting point to help us begin to harness the untapped pool of potential that is made up of hundreds of thousands of women – each with the ideas, skills and the 'want' to start a business but being blocked by the imposter syndrome; the lack of funding; access to mentors and resources and disproportionate family care responsibilities.
We have the stats, the action points and the fire in our hearts so let's do this! If you know a female founder, or an aspiring female founder, show them your support however you can. And if you're waiting for the right time to start your business, the time is NOW.

Q: RandomName generator in Unity I am having a small annoying issue. I am trying to make a random Name generator in Unity, which must be displayed in a text box.
The problem is that it is not displaying anything in the textBox, even though I've followed few examples, tried different options but it didn't work.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.Collections;

public class GeneratorG : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject TextBox;
    public int TheNumber;
    public string TheGenre;
private void PickRandomFromList()
    {
        string[] genres = new string[] { "Rock", "Classic", "Jazz" };
        string randomName = genres[Random.Range(0, genres.Length)];
        TextBox.GetComponent<Text>().text = "" + randomName;
    }
}

I will put more names after that, but I am trying to make it work at first. Do you know where the problem can be? Or do you have another solution for this tiny task?
Thanks in advance!

A: If you just want to change the text of the GameObject TextBox you can put it on top as
public Text TextBox;

After that you should be able to change it with:
string randomName = genres[UnityEngine.Random.Range(0, genres.Length)];
TextBox.text = " " + randomName;

Also make sure that you have set the TextBox in the inspector field, where your script is currently located.

A: I don't know what causes this exactly from this code snippet only but here somethings that you should check.
1- Check if you referenced the TextBox that you want to show the random name in through the unity editor.
2- Check if you referenced this function on the generate button through the unity editor to call it when it's clicked.


Businesses are always faced with choices when it comes to their smartphones and tablets. While there are many variations, these devices all rely on a core group of mobile operating systems. Because of this, professionals are frequently required to choose between devices powered by iOS, Windows, Android, or BlackBerry O/S.
The software that makes these devices useful for work-related applications is integral to their usability. If a company needs to run Salesforce mobile, for instance, that business must first ensure the Salesforce mobile app runs on the chosen mobile operating system. Increasingly, application compatibility drives a business's choice as it shops for devices.
For a time, BlackBerry was the preferred device for enterprises, since its easy-to-use email features made it business-friendly. But in recent years, apps have taken over, leading to a growing trend toward iPhones and iPads. According to a report from Good Technology, iOS holds 88 percent of the enterprise app market, thanks to applications developers who design for the popular operating system.
The business popularity of iOS is demonstrated in tablet purchases, with iPads comprising 90 percent of all business applications. The report stated iPads as having the most significant impact on conventional PCs in the business environment. This move toward iPads is changing the way business is conducted in various industries, the report said.
Does that mean you should completely toss Android- or Windows-based devices aside? Not at all. Before purchasing new devices for your business, make an inventory of all of the applications your workers will need. You may find your own organization uses applications that are only available on Android or Blackberry.
Keep in mind, though, that over the next few years, new applications will emerge that you'll want to add to your suite of productivity tools. Choosing an operating system that has a wealth of apps available may be the best way to position yourself for the future.

Q: SwiftUI DragGestures not updating until different DragGesture triggered this gif should pretty clearly show my issue.

In words, I have a DragGesture for the background color, and TapGesture to add Text() views. Each Text View has a DragGesture on it to update its location as its dragged.
This works, but the visually the Text Views position don't update until I activate the background color DragGesture. I've confirmed that the Text Views position values update, they just don't visually update.
Also, I have a long press gesture which 'locks' the background color by preventing a call to moodColor(). When this is locked, the Text Views will not move until I perform another long press to unlock it, and then drag the background color around.
I have a feeling I'm misusing DragGestures, but it seemed obvious that each view should have it's own gesture.
Here is the code.
class Note : Identifiable{
    var id = UUID()
    var text: Text
    var dragOffset : CGPoint
     @GestureState private var location: CGPoint = .zero
    var drag : some Gesture{ DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0.5, coordinateSpace: .global).onChanged{ value in self.dragOffset = value.location }
        .updating($location){ (value, state, transaction) in state = value.location }
    }

    init(textVal: String){
        self.text = Text(textVal).font(.largeTitle)
        self.dragOffset = CGPoint(x: 50, y: 50)
    }
}

struct Col{
    var red: Double = 1.0
    var green: Double = 1.0
    var blue: Double = 1.0
}

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var brightness = 0.9
    @State var color = Col()        // Color Grid Style, RGB
    @GestureState var dragInfo = CGSize.zero
    @State private var myviews: [Note] = []
    @State private var colorLocked = false

    var body: some View {
        return GeometryReader { geo in
            Color.init( red: self.color.red * self.brightness, green: self.color.green * self.brightness, blue: self.color.blue * self.brightness)

                .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
                .gesture( TapGesture().onEnded{ value in self.myviews.append(Note(textVal: "A Note")) })
                .gesture( LongPressGesture(minimumDuration: 0.5).onEnded{
                            _ in UIImpactFeedbackGenerator(style: .heavy).impactOccurred()
                            self.colorLocked = !self.colorLocked })
                .gesture( DragGesture().onChanged{
                            if !self.colorLocked { self.moodColor(data: $0, width: geo.size.width, height: geo.size.height) }})
                                                  // moodColor() does math to change the background
                .gesture( MagnificationGesture().onChanged{
                            self.brightness = Double($0.magnitude + 0.5)
                })

            ForEach(self.myviews) { note in
                note.text.gesture(note.drag).position(note.dragOffset) }}
    }

A: Keep your Views is Views not in Model class
import SwiftUI
class Note : Identifiable{
    var id = UUID()
    var dragOffset : CGSize
    var textVal: String
    init(textVal: String){
        self.textVal = textVal
        self.dragOffset = .zero
    }
}

struct Col{
    var red: Double = 1.0
    var green: Double = 1.0
    var blue: Double = 1.0
}
struct AnimatedText: View {
    var note: Note
    @GestureState private var location: CGPoint = .zero
    @State private var offset: CGSize = .zero
    var drag : some Gesture{ DragGesture()
        .onChanged {
            self.offset.height = self.note.dragOffset.height + $0.translation.height
            self.offset.width = self.note.dragOffset.width + $0.translation.width
    }
    .onEnded { _ in
        self.note.dragOffset = self.offset//self.offset = .zero
        }
    }

    var body: some View {
        Text(note.textVal)
            .font(.largeTitle)
            .offset(x: offset.width, y: offset.height)
            .gesture(drag)
    }
}
struct DragGestureNotMoving: View {
    @State var brightness = 0.9
    @State var color = Col()        // Color Grid Style, RGB
    @GestureState var dragInfo = CGSize.zero
    @State private var myNotes: [Note] = []
    @State private var colorLocked = false
    var body: some View {
        return GeometryReader { geo in
            Color.init( red: self.color.red * self.brightness, green: self.color.green * self.brightness, blue: self.color.blue * self.brightness)

                .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
                .gesture( TapGesture().onEnded{ value in self.myNotes.append(Note(textVal: "A Note")) })
                .gesture( LongPressGesture(minimumDuration: 0.5).onEnded{
                    _ in UIImpactFeedbackGenerator(style: .heavy).impactOccurred()
                    self.colorLocked = !self.colorLocked })
                //.gesture( DragGesture().onChanged{_ in if !self.colorLocked {self.moodColor(data: $0, width: geo.size.width, height: geo.size.height) }})// moodColor() does math to change the background
                .gesture( MagnificationGesture().onChanged{
                    self.brightness = Double($0.magnitude + 0.5)
                })

            ForEach(self.myNotes) { note in
                AnimatedText(note: note)

            }

        }
    }
}

I commented the moodColor() since I don't have the extra code but the movement works with the changes. Look into SimultaneosGesture if you are having other issues.

On November 9th, I opened up Instagram and my writers group pages on Facebook and found people touting Morrison, Baldwin, Hughes.
This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no room for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That's how civilizations heal. —Toni Morrison
If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things that you do not see. —James Baldwin
Looks like what drives me crazy
Don't have no effect on you—
But I'm gonna keep on at it
Till it drives you crazy, too.
—Langston Hughes, "Evil"
On Twitter, a woman live-tweeting a phone conversation with her mother said mama wouldn't let her off the phone until she recited Claude McKay.
If we must die—let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursed lot.
If we must die—oh, let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
Oh, Kinsmen! We must meet the common foe;
Though far outnumbered, let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
—Claude McKay, "If We Must Die"
Black writers who had seen oppression far worse than I will ever see (I hope) were galvanizing other writers, but I couldn't return to the page. I curled up on my sofa and slept. As a writer, I felt useless.
The problem wasn't that I write. It's what I write about.
I write about God and sex. More broadly, I write about my life and how I see the world at the intersection of Christianity, blackness, womanhood, and feminism, but for the book I've been working on since 2011—the book that I pitched to agents in 2016 at a writing conference, the book agents said they were interested in, the book that will be my thesis—I write about God and sex.
And until the wee hours of November 9, 2016, when a friend on the West Coast sent me a text confirming that the almost unthinkable had happened (I kept telling people who thought an orange-hued Twitter troll's election was impossible that it could happen, because everything we had thought impossible about this election since the primaries had, in fact, happened), I thought what I had to say was important, timely, and necessary to women and black people's ongoing struggle for freedom and equality in the U.S.
And to be completely honest, I had also thought what I had to say was sellable.
I would write a memoir about my life at the intersections, a memoir that also would serve as a meditation on black female sexuality within the culture of the southern black church, and people would buy it. They would buy it because it would be interesting, new, different, important, timely, necessary, and well-written.
On November 9th, I had the same 50 pages in a Pages document in my computer that I'd had when I went to my polling place the morning of November 8th. They were still well-written. They were still different and, relative to the market, new. But when it came to the subject matter, all I could imagine potential readers (and agents) saying was, "Who the fuck cares?"
My internal dialogue went something like this:
An openly racist rapist has been elected—elected—by about 63 million people, to the most powerful office in the world. Who the fuck cares about God and sex and church? Man, fuck writing. We need to be strategizing about how to unify, how to resist, how to get our black asses to Canada like some of the ancestors did. Why do you still want to write about feminism, or blackness, or equality anyway? You've been writing about this shit for ten years now, and an openly racist rapist was just elected president! Your message isn't doing any good. You are not winning anyone over. An orange-hued Twitter troll will appoint the next Supreme Court justice and who knows how many federal judges. Men who think you don't have enough sense to make up your own mind about your own body and who would rather see people in your home state die than admit that a healthcare plan they hate is working for poor people who keep voting for them have control of both houses of Congress. And you're talking about writing a book? About God and sex? Who. The. Fuck. Cares???????
Despite everything I've written in the marketing section of the book proposal I've crafted and sent to agents for this essayistic memoir, I don't know who's going to care—that is, who besides me. I care for two reasons: 1) I have academic expectations of myself to uphold, and since there is a thesis to complete, I'm going to finish it; and 2) I eventually came to realize what—besides a meditation on black female sexuality within the culture of the southern black church—this book is.
It's memoir. It's history. It's community intervention. It's Baby Sugg's sermon in The Clearing. It's radical self-love. And self-love in a world that hates you is one of the most subversive things you can commit to.
I wrote that in a newsletter I sent on November 13th to people who have supported me as a writer for many years now. As I wrote it, I felt a little stirring in my soul. My heart and brain started talking to each other. Oh shit! This is militant and brave as hell! Put your fist up! I realize now that I had hit not on what the book, which I'm still birthing, is, but what it needs to be to me if I am ever to finish it. It will never be as well-written, but it must be as powerfully written and as powerful as Baby Sugg's sermon in The Clearing. It must be as radical and subversive as self-love. It must be both artistic and political, even when evidence suggests no one is being changed.
After the election, I wondered how I could change my writing to be apolitical, to disengage from the polemic completely. Could I write poems about trees or moose or birds without a nod towards environmentalism? Could I write about beauty without writing about the beauty of blackness? Could I write about women without a mission to take down the patriarchy in my language? Could I write about an historic injustice, craft it so well, and divorce myself from identity politics so much that I manage to convince scholars that I have no anger about the injustice at all? (That's not shade to Robert Hayden; it's shade to people who interpret "Middle Passage" as neutral.)
It might be possible if history, religion, identity, and black feminism weren't integral to my work, but I can't produce art for art's sake right now, and I don't want to. I also don't think now is the time to do it. In a recent interview on The New Yorker Radio Hour, author Elif Safak, who works primarily in fiction, said that writers in war-torn countries "do not have the luxury of being apolitical as a writer. If you care about what's happening outside your door, if you care about injustices, inequalities, other people's sorrows, the private space is also political. So politics is everywhere. It's diffuse. Wherever power is, there is politics."
And wherever there is power, there is the need to speak truth to it, even and perhaps especially in our most private and intimate spaces. I wrote my newsletter to my supporters a few days after seeing Ntzoke Shange perform at an event celebrating the 40th anniversary of her Obie Award-winning play, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf. I left that evening marveling not only at how brilliantly her play showed the intimate effects of systemic oppression, but also at how safe and loved I felt in a room full of her fans, and how blessed we were to hear her perform a few new poems, the first of which honored victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting. She gave so much of herself, despite the stroke that has altered her speech and mobility forever. Even Shange hasn't stopped. She can't. And neither can I.

hello Im going to shooting a short film in the spring on a Canon t2i and I wanted to know what type of mic can I get to get great sound. Ive heard of mics such as the Rode and the Zooms but which one is the best one for the camera, if anyone has any advice please let me know. Im new to the whole mic sound thing so please in detail give me a description.
I believe there a few filmmakers in the same situation, someone will be here to help you shortly.
Go with a rode mic. From my experience with them they are pretty impressive.
I'm just curious. What makes the Rode mic's so superior, and what am I really looking for in a Mic? I admit, I'm still trying to learn the language of sound (which sounded less odd in my head) so I get confused, easily. Might help the original poster, too. If anyone has the time, of course.


Now if you're like me, you're on a never ending quest to find the key to perfect skin. After searching high and low I've narrowed it down to these two super popular products: the Boscia Luminizing Black Mask and the Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask.
The first up is the Boscia mask. It was a bit pricier than other masks I've tried out before, retailing for for $39 bucks CDN at Sephora. The consistency of the mask when putting it on was slightly goopy in addition to making my eyes water for some reason. The mask dries quite quickly, drying to a shiny black latex look. I left it on for about 30 minutes so it could could fully dry. When completely dry the mask felt tight, leaving me a little afraid to laugh too hard (haha). This mask is a peel-off, which I found a little intimidating due to the many videos I had seen online of people screaming and writhing in pain when removing it. When it came time to take it off it was indeed somewhat of a daunting task. For me the hardest part was trying grab a piece at the bottom to peel off. Once I did that peeling off the mask wasn't too difficult, albeit slightly uncomfortable. Even though my skin type is oily, I still found this mask to be particularly drying. It removes moisture from your face in addition to removing impurities from your pores. I guess this is why the instructions say to apply a moisturizer right after. My skin felt clinically clean the first time I used this which I liked, but also a little itchy and irritated. I would urge you use this mask with caution, especially if you have sensitive skin like myself. One cool aspect of this product was the fact that you could actually see the impurities being removed since they are pulled out as you peel the mask.
Next up is the Origins mask. This mask was pretty straight-forward in its application and it's a trusted favourite of mine. With this mask you simply put it on, let it dry for about 30 minutes and then wash it off afterward. I really like the way my face feels afterward. It feels soft and supple and does seem to clear my pores up a bit. I would definitely recommend this mask to people who are looking for a weekly mask that isn't too harsh on the skin.
So that was my quick little review on both the Boscia Luminizing Black Mask and Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask. For a more in depth review on the two products check out my YouTube video after the jump.

Hello fall! Colorful leaves, hot chocolate, an excuse to wear a jacket, pumpkin flavored everything...all the things I love about this season. What I enjoy most is decorating to change things up a bit at home. I'm a firm believer in making your home a space that you love coming to reflect who you are. What better way to do that than decorating!
I'll be sure to post my photos at a later date but what I can share are things I consider when I decorate during the seasons and my fall decor inspiration that I collect from Pinterest (it's a lifesaver for everything).
Start small. You don't have to decorate the entire house. Just focus on 1 room where your family or guests will congregate or a small area such as your front porch or mantle in your living room.
Have a focal point. I plan to focus on the mantle in my living room and working from the colors in the painting that I placed there.
Don't break the bank. Decorating for the season doesn't have to be expensive. There are great pieces you can find for great prices. For example, Target has quality fall decor items in their dollar bins section (ranging from $3-$10. See my pic below). I also go to TJ Maxx, Marshall's or Home Goods for candles, wreaths, table runners, frames, placemats, etc.
A few fall decor items I found this week in the dollar bins at Target!
Check out my fall inspiration from Pinterest! We'll see how this goes!
Sources for my inspiration images are Better Homes and Gardens (title photo, metallic pumpkin centerpiece and fall floral arrangement), www.thehappierhomemaker.com (white and silver mantle), www.myblessedlife.net (autumn mantle), www.glusticksblog.com (wheat wreath), Pinterest (grateful, thankful, blessed vignette).
Do you plan to decorate your home for fall? Any tips to share? Leave in the comments section.
Brunch, to me, is not complete without the perfect drink. Mimosas and bellinis are my absolute favorite. The most important key in a brunch drink is that it tastes good and is served cold. To make it even better, a mimosa slushie makes a perfect drink on a hot summer day.
I'm planning a girls brunch and wanted to add a little twist instead of serving the regular orange juice and champagne mimosas. So, I started scrolling through Pinterest (which can be a life-saver when you need a good idea or make you feel like the most inadequate wife and mom on earth) and came across a recipe for an Orange Peach Mimosa Slushie from Climbing Grier Mountain blog. You can find it here.
1 large orange, peeled and sliced – Check!
The first thing I like about this recipe is that it's really as easy as it looks. It only took me about 10 minutes to prep and mix once I gathered all of my utensils –cutting board, knife, measuring cup and blender.
I cut and peeled the oranges and peaches, placed them in the blender and added the orange juice, Prosecco, and ice cubes. It may be easier to use a food processor to thoroughly blend the fruit. I used the puree option on my blender, which worked well.
There were two things I didn't like about the recipe, which is why I modified it a bit. It would've been perfect if it was a tad bit sweeter. A sweeter brand of Processo or perhaps trying Moscato would do the trick. I happened to have frozen strawberries in the freezer, so I added a couple and it helped a bit. Also, the ½ cup of champagne that the recipe called for was not enough for me. I barely tasted it. If you prefer a stronger mimosa slushie to keep the party goin, then you can modify it to your liking. I doubled the amount. Ha!
You could pretty much add any good fruit combination to make your own mimosa slushie – pineapple and mango, pineapple and strawberry or throw all of it in the blender, add champagne, pour and sip. Ahh summer!


Each year, specially trained police officers conduct bicycle safety courses at each of the schools in Highland Village.
These officers teach children how to wear their bicycle safety helmets, where to safely ride their bike, and what do do when they have any problems.
Bicycle Rodeos have been a big success. Our goal is to teach children the safe way to ride bicycles and to wear their safety helmets anytime they get on the bike.
The bike officers, with the help of members of our Police Auxiliary, will also perform bicycle safety inspections and will distribute bicycle registration cards.
To find out when the next Bicycle Rodeo will be, please contact us via email.

I'm trying to get caught up on some of my neglected activities now that I am out of Grad School. One is to post pictures from some of my recent shows. This picture is from the installation "Orange You Glad I Didn't Say Banana". The installation relied heavily on the use of abundant window space, it was shot from outside the Gallery entrance, look for more images soon!

Report says project on schedule
Published 12:00 am Tuesday, January 13, 2004
Columbiana Mayor Allan Lowe reports that the Main Street/College Street intersection project is on schedule to be completed the first week in February.
The item was among important issues discussed at last Thursday's weekly progress meeting.
According to Lowe, the contractor reported that some active utility lines have been unearthed for which locations were not indicated on surveys.
He also said the manufacturer of the streetlights has said shipment of the light poles will be mid-February, rather than mid-January as originally agreed. The manufacturer stated that the Christmas holiday pushed the shipment date back.
Lowe said however the mid-February shipment date will not interfere with the project completion.
Electrical engineering firm Stone and Sons will take down the traffic signals and span cables at the Main and College street intersection as soon as possible. When the intersection is opened for traffic, a four-way stop will control traffic flow until the new signal lights are installed, the mayor said.
The intersection is expected to be opened for about five weeks before installation of traffic signal lights.
NorthStar Communications Group, a BellSouth contractor, and Stone and Sons are working together to determine how best to pour a concrete foundation to support the traffic signal poles.
Currently, Bellsouth underground telephone cables and fiber optics are buried exactly where the foundations should be poured.
Before the end of last Thursday's meeting, Lowe said, several viable options were developed which would work well in this situation.
