Herod Antipas: His Early Life
Herod Antipas was a son of Herod the Great, who had become king of Judea, and Malthace, who was from Samaria. His date of birth is unknown but was before 20 BCE. Antipas, his full brother Archelaus and his half-brother Philip were educated in Rome.
Herod Antipas was not Herod's first choice of heir. That honor fell to Aristobulus and Alexander; Herod's sons by the Hasmonean princess Mariamne. It was only after they were executed (c. 7 BCE); and Herod's oldest son Antipater was convicted of trying to poison his father (5 BCE); that the now elderly Herod fell back on his youngest son Antipas; revising his will to make him an heir. During his illness in 4 BCE, Herod had yet another change of heart about the succession. According to the final version of his will, Antipas' elder brother Archelaus was now to become king of Judea, Idumea, and Samaria; while Antipas would rule Galilee and Perea with the lesser title of tetrarch.
Philip was to receive the Golan Heights; Batanaea (southern Syria), Trachonitis and Auranitis (Hauran). Because of Judea's status as a Roman client kingdom; Herod's plans for the succession had to be ratified by Augustus. Therefore, the three heirs traveled to Rome to make their claims, Antipas arguing he ought to inherit the whole kingdom and the others maintaining that Herod's final will ought to be honored. Despite qualified support for Herod Antipas from Herodian family members in Rome, who favored the direct Roman rule of Judea but considered Herod Antipas preferable to his brother, Augustus largely confirmed the division of territory set out by Herod in his final will. Archelaus had, however, to be content with the title of ethnarch rather than a king.
Herod Antipas Reign (4 BCE to c. 39 CE)
After the death of Herod the Great in 4 BC; Augustus confirmed the testament of the dead king by making Herod Antipas tetrarch of Galilee and Perea, a region he would rule for the next forty-two years. The two territories were separated by the region of the Decapolis, with Galilee to the north and Perea to the south. Threats to stability in both areas would have been clear to Herod Antipas when he took office.
While Herod Antipas had been making his case to Augustus in Rome, dissidents led by Judas, son of Hezekiah, had attacked the palace of Sepphoris (see Sepphoris National Park) in Galilee, seizing money as well as weapons which they used to terrorize the area. In a counterattack ordered by Quinctilius Varus, the Roman governor of Syria; Sepphoris was destroyed by fire and its inhabitants sold as slaves. Perea, meanwhile, bordered on the kingdom of Nabatea; which had long had uneasy relations with Romans and Jews.
Herod Antipas Builds Tiberias
Part of Antipas' solution was to follow in his father's footsteps as a builder. He rebuilt and fortified Sepphoris. However, the tetrarch's most noted construction was his capital on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, Tiberias. So named to honor his patron Tiberius; who had succeeded Augustus as emperor in 14 CE. Residents could bathe nearby at the warm springs of Emmaus, and by the time of the First Jewish-Roman War the city's buildings included a stadium; a royal palace and a sanctuary for prayer.
It gave its name to the sea and later became a center of rabbinic learning. However, pious Jews at first refused to live in it because it was built atop a graveyard and therefore a source of ritual impurity. Antipas had to colonize it with a mixture of foreigners, forced migrants, poor people, and freed slaves.
At other times Antipas was more sensitive to Jewish tradition. His coins carried no images, which would have violated Jewish prescriptions against idolatry. When Pontius Pilate, governor of Judea from 26 CE to 36 CE, caused offense by placing votive shields in the Antonia palace at Jerusalem; Antipas and his brothers successfully petitioned for their removal.
John the Baptist and Herod Antipas
Early in his reign, Antipas had married the daughter of King Aretas IV of Nabatea. However, on a visit to Rome he stayed with his half-brother Herod II and there he fell in love with his wife, Herodias, granddaughter of Herod the Great and Mariamne I; and the two agreed to marry after Herod Antipas had divorced his wife. Aretas' daughter learned of the plan and asked permission to travel to the frontier fortress of Machaerus; whence Nabatean forces escorted her to her father. With his daughter now safe in his custody, Aretas now could declare war on Herod.
It is generally agreed that the war, in which Herod was defeated, occurred in 36 CE, a year before the death of the emperor Tiberius. But Antipas faced more immediate problems in his own tetrarchy after John the Baptist, in 28/29 CE according to the Gospel of Luke began a ministry of preaching and baptism by the Jordan River; which marked the western edge of Antipas' territory of Perea.
The Gospels state that John attacked the tetrarch's marriage as contrary to Jewish law (it was incestuous, as Herodias was also Antipas' niece. But also John criticized the fact that she was his brother's wife (Mark 6:18). While Josephus says that John's public influence made Antipas fearful of rebellion. John was imprisoned in Machaerus and executed.
THE CARDO OF SEPPHORIS – A CITY HEROD BUILT DIFFRENT PROJECTS THERE
Salome Dancing For Herod Antipas Asking John the Baptist Head
According to Matthew and Mark, Herod Antipas was reluctant to order John's death but was compelled by Herodias' daughter (unnamed in the text but named by Josephus as Salome); to whom he had promised any reward she chose as a result of her dancing for guests at his birthday banquet. Although we know today it is some kind of a folklore narrative and there is no truth to it.
Among those baptized by John was Jesus of Nazareth, who began his own ministry in Galilee, causing Antipas, according to Matthew and Mark, to fear that John had been raised from the dead. Luke alone among the Gospels states that a group of Pharisees warned Jesus that Antipas was plotting his death; whereupon Jesus denounced the tetrarch as a "fox" and declared that he, Jesus, would not fall victim to such a plot because "it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem".
Herod Antipas Meets Jesus in Jerusalem
Luke also credits the tetrarch with a role in Jesus' trial. According to Luke, Pilate, on learning that Jesus was a Galilean and therefore under Herod's jurisdiction, sent him to Antipas, who was also in Jerusalem at the time. Initially, Antipas was pleased to see Jesus, hoping to see him perform a miracle; but when Jesus remained silent in the face of questioning; Antipas mocked him and sent him back to Pilate. Luke says that these events improved relations between Pilate and Herod despite their earlier enmity.
Later Reign
Between 34 and 36 CE the conflict with Aretas of Nabatea; caused by Antipas' divorce from Aretas' daughter and the rulers' disagreement over territory, developed into open war. Antipas' army suffered a devastating defeat after fugitives from the former tetrarchy of Philip sided with the Nabateans. So Antipas was forced to appeal to Tiberius for help. The emperor ordered Lucius Vitellius, governor of Syria, to march against Aretas and ensure that he was captured or killed. So Vitellius obediently mobilized two legions; sending them on a detour around Judea while he joined Antipas in attending a festival at Jerusalem. While staying there he learned of the death of Tiberius (16 March 37 CE); concluded he lacked the authority to go to war, and recalled his troops.
Josephus implies that Vitellius was unwilling to cooperate with the tetrarch because of a grudge he bore from an earlier incident. According to his account, Antipas provided hospitality at a conference on the Euphrates between Vitellius and King Artabanus III of Parthia, and after Vitellius' diplomatic success anticipated the governor in sending a report to Tiberius. However, other sources place the meeting between Vitellius and Artabanus under Tiberius' successor Caligula, leading some historians to think that Josephus misdated it to the reign of Tiberius or conflated it with an earlier diplomatic meeting involving Antipas and Vitellius.
Exile and Death
Antipas' fall from power was due to Caligula and to his own nephew Agrippa, brother of Herodias. When Agrippa fell into debt during the reign of Tiberius despite his connections with the imperial family; Herodias persuaded Antipas to provide for him. But the two men quarreled and Agrippa departed. After Agrippa was heard expressing to his friend Caligula his eagerness for Tiberius to die and leave room for Caligula to succeed him, he was imprisoned. When Caligula finally became emperor in 37 CE; he not only released his friend but granted him the rule of Philip's former tetrarchy, with the title of king.
Josephus relates that Herodias, jealous at Agrippa's success, persuaded Herod Antipas to ask Caligula for the title of king for himself. However, Agrippa simultaneously presented the emperor with a list of charges against the tetrarch: allegedly, he had conspired against Tiberius; and was now plotting against Caligula. As evidence, Agrippa noted that Antipas had a stockpile of weapons sufficient for 70,000 men.
Hearing Herod Antipas' admission to this last charge; Caligula decided to believe the allegations of conspiracy. In the summer of 39 CE, Antipas' money and territory were turned over to Agrippa, while Antipas was exiled. Caligula offered to allow Herodias, as Agrippa's sister; to retain her property. However, she chose instead to join her husband in exile. Where de also dies.

An SEO Goal for Geospatial Data
By Bert Granberg | May 23, 2017
I spent an hour or so this rainy weekend planning for a future trip to Nevada's Great Basin National Park. (Hang in there, this post is actually about geospatial data and search engine optimization - SEO).
Specifically, I wanted to print out a few areas of the USGS 1:24,000 scale topographic quad maps for the Wheeler Peak portion of the park, which by all accounts includes some delicious spring ski touring terrain.
And as luck would have it, that area of the park falls on the boundary of the Wheeler Peak and Windy Peak USGS quad maps. Ideally, I wanted the plain-jane, collarless, georeferenced files for each map, so I could load them into GIS or an image manipulation app (photoshop, gimp, etc.) and print out just the areas I needed. And, bonus points go to the data stewards if I could do so while avoiding any and all of the following: creating yet another user account, suffering through undesired ads and mouse clicks, downloading additional unneeded bulky data layers, paying fees to resellers of public domain info, and feeling like I was risking infecting my machine with 'who knows what?' packed into a download file. Basically, I wanted just the facts, from a trusted, unobtrusive source.
So as a mostly well-heeled user of this new internet thing, I expected this (below) to work in Google and other search engines:
Sadly, it did not. At least not for me. And, suffice it to say, it would have been incredibly painful for a UX specialist to watch all the dead ends I subsequently encountered chasing the data I wanted using various search aids (map-based or otherwise). I had a similar experience last week looking for geospatial data for historic trails data from the National Park Service's Data Store (hint, try the 'advanced search' and specify 'geospatial data' from the long list of document types in their catch all document management system).
But this whole exercise was worthwhile in the end. It was a timely reminder that AGRC, and other purveyors of authoritative GIS data, need to continually revisit the ease with which data is found and accessed, especially for cases where the general public may be interested. Why should we expect end users to use something other than their preferred, tried-and-true strategy for finding information they don't have— the single text box search. Geospatial information isn't geo-special, the same expectations should apply.
It's been five or so years since I first heard talks by past NSGIC contributors Learon Dalby and Michael Byrne (watch Mike's worthy www.i/believe/in/urls video from 2013?), and during that time AGRC has been working on our single text box search approach at AGRC. We've made progress, but there's more work to be done. And, yah, we've got a simple internal search aid too, but we didn't mortgage or give away the farm (or our domain) to get it in place, and it's designed as a secondary strategy.
As you embrace the power of URLs and set single text box search as your primary findability strategy, plan your approach so that your SEO will connect most users to the most sought-after information resources, the most efficiently (that's most3, btw). Put a smile on your users' faces. They will be much more likely to speak of your organization with great praise and fondness. And, that'll pay dividends on the effort you made.
Here are some considerations:
Can your domain and URLs be harmonized with your organization's brand? If you've conceded that already to an external domain you don't control, can you get it back?
Publish well-designed URLs for data resources that will maximize the chances that users find what they are looking through their own use of discriminating key words
Focus first on the findability of the most popular and valuable data content, then work toward the edge cases
Plan to persist the URLs for data resources….if at all possible, they shouldn't change as you publish updates to the data or when you update your website
Plan your naming conventions for new data offerings in the foreseeable future
To be clear, all of us as in the geospatial industry still need to work on improving the basic findability of our data. It's patently unfair to pick on just the USGS topos, but I thank them for this real world example as a reminder for all of us to stay on this task. But, forgive me as I just keep on dreaming that someday that this URL will work:
https://usgs.gov/products/maps/topo/24000/o38114h3/nevada/wheeler-peak/drg/nocollar
In the meantime, I'll work on finding and assembling the pieces of the classic topos I am looking for (like the one below), which are still enduringly excellent (!!!)...probably because there was such a simple, but strong focus on usability.
Update: Made this trip on June 8th, and ended up skiing nearby Jeff Davis peak instead (left side of ridge in the landscape photo below).
Interestingly, this peak was named for Jefferson Davis, who served as president of the confederacy. But, Nevada was a Union (as in Northern) state and the peak is just miles from US 6, that honors the Grand Army of the Republic (Lincoln's side). Davis in a previous capacity was a US Senator and the Secretary of War, which oversaw the Army Corps of Topographical Engineering. That relationship is credited with how the peak got its name.
And, just for fun. Nevada was rushed into statehood prior to the 1864 election. As part of that process, the state's new constitution (all 16,543 words) was telegraphed to D.C, setting the record for the longest telegraph which stood for 17 years.

Come In: Kingdom Come Will Be 'Very Open' To Modding
Historical revisionism, coming to a kingdom near you
News by Nathan Grayson Contributor
Published on 25 Jan, 2014
Kingdom Come: Deliverance didn't quite win me over during a recent demo, but it certainly got me galloping toward its corner. Evidently, I'm not the only one, given that it's already made enough money to buy its own kingdom. It's preposterous with a capital Osterous, and I doubt it'll be slowing down any time soon. But maybe you're still on the fence. And that's fine. I respect your most-annoying-person-in-the-ice-cream-line-like discernment. But I must say, Warhorse sure seems to be on the right track, and its approach to modding is no different.
Speaking with RPS as part of an interview, project director Daniel Vávra revealed that mods are a-okay in Warhorse's book leatherbound historical tome:
"We are quite open to modding," he said. "Since it's on CryEngine, it should be easy to mod, too."
But what about an even easier-to-use Kingdom-Come-specific toolset? That idea is still up in the air, but Vávra's definitely going to push for it. "We hope that we will be able to release our tools and assets for CryEngine SDK. No guarantees now, but it would be a shame not to do it."
He also mentioned that he'd be interested to see players make the game's survival elements more life-or-death, replicating a DayZ or Fallout: New Vegas JSawyer experience within it.
Regardless, Kingdom Come will absolutely be moddable on some level, and that's an exciting thought. First chance I get, I'm going to turn it into a real videogame by adding dragons.


This article is about the character. For other uses, see Waylander (disambiguation).
Dakeyras, also known as Waylander and as the Grey Man, was an infamous Drenai assassin whose actions became central events during several moments in world history.
Leading a brief career in the Drenai military, Dakeyras married and settled down, only to have his life destroyed one summer afternoon when a bandit gang brutally murdered his family. Consumed by rage and a need for vengeance, Dakeyras tracked the bandit gang's members for the next twenty years, hunting them down and killing them one by one. During this period of his life he went by the name of Waylander, and it was under this name that he would become recognised as one of the deadliest assassins to have ever lived. He eventually took on a contract to assassinate his own King, the Drenai King Nialliad. Successfully completing the contract, he was betrayed by his employer in the aftermath and forced to go on the run. Met by an old man claiming to be Orien, father of King Nialliad, Waylander agreed to undertake the Quest for the Armour of Bronze. After the conclusion of the quest, he turned his back on his trade and settled down with his second family.
Ten years later, Waylander found himself the target of assassination, but was able to defeat his pursuers and play an instrumental part in national politics once again. Subsequently faking his own death, he retired to the northern land of Kydor, where he became known as the Grey Man. After another period of relative inaction, Waylander became embroiled in large-scale mystical events, helping prevent an invasion of the land by daemons and putting a stop to the diabolical plans of a sorceror. Mortally wounded during these events, he was prevented from dying by magical means for some short period of time before being sent through a portal to another world and another time, where he arrived at the farm of that world's Dakeyras just in time to prevent the murder of his family. Having achieved his dearest wish, Waylander finally died.
In the aftermath of this, Waylander fled, pursued by Vagrian Hounds. At some point during this flight, his horse was stolen by a group of bandits led by the man, Dectas. Tracking the group to their camp, he demanded the return of his horse. When the horse was not forthcoming, the assassin swiftly slew all five bandits and secured the horse himself. Also in the bandit camp (tied to a tree) was a Source priest named Dardalion, prisoner of the bandits. Initially intending to leave the priest to his fate, Waylander changed his mind - a pivotal decision in his life - and freed Dardalion instead. Not entirely sure of his own motives in doing so, Waylander invited Dardalion to accompany him for a time, an invitation Dardalion accepted, despite his revulsion upon learning his rescuer's identity.
Tall and broad-shouldered, Waylander's eyes were a very dark brown, albeit with some golden flecking. Not a regular shaver, he often sported stubble, which came through as grey before the hair on his head did. Considered somewhat handsome, Waylander's usual thin-lipped expression and piercing gaze did not do him any extra favours in that regard. Normally dressing in dark leggings, boots, a leather tunic and a hooded cloak, Waylander's only concession to protection in his mode of dress was the wearing of a single chainmail shoulder-guard over his tunic but under the cloak. When riding horses, Waylander rode with his left hand on the reins, his right hand never straying far from his main weapon belt.
Waylander's crossbow was his signature weapon. Specially made to his exacting requirements and standards in the land of Ventria, the bow was small, pistol-gripped and double-winged, allowing two bolts to be fired in quick succession. Reloads were kept in a small quiver attached to one side of Waylander's belt; the crossbow itself was hung on the other side when not in use. Effective up to a range of twenty feet, Waylander was a master of the weapon, able to place a bolt almost exactly where he wished with each pull of the trigger.
A common tactic for Waylander was to stand holding his crossbow ready, but covered by his cloak, which would be swept forward over one shoulder. The cloak could be easily moved aside (or even discarded completely), allowing his first bolts to be a complete surprise...and considering his accuracy, this could easily mean two targets despatched in the first seconds of combat. He was customarily armed with a variety of knives: two fighting knives in hip sheaths, a bootknife and at least three throwing knives kept on his person being a typical load-out. Extra blades such as hunting knives were kept in his pack along with other accroutements useful to wilderness survival, including a spare set of clothes.


David Cameron has said he "passionately believed that renewables would prove vital to the UK's future". He continued to say however, that the next challenge for the sector is to become financially viable.
David Cameron made the comments when he was addressing energy ministers from 23 leading economies at the Clean Energy Ministerial summit.
Prime Minister David Cameron today said he "passionately believed" renewables would prove "vital" to the country's future, but challenged the sector to become "financially sustainable".
Addressing energy ministers from 23 leading economies at the Clean Energy Ministerial summit this morning, the Prime Minister said the UK was already playing "a leading role at the forefront of [the] green energy revolution" and welcomed commercial deals worth over £350m expected to be announced today. "Renewable energy is not just good for our environment but we believe it's very good business too," he added.
The Prime Minister also highlighted the initiative the Government were championing including the upcoming launch of the Green Investment Bank, Green Deal and Renewable Heat Incentive.

    aws_access_key_id=response['Credentials']['AccessKeyId'],
    aws_secret_access_key=response['Credentials']['SecretAccessKey'],
    aws_session_token=response['Credentials']['SessionToken']
)

And for anyone who gets here and needs to use a different profile from their credentials file, that is done with this line:
boto3.setup_default_session(profile_name='PROFILE_NAME')

Last thing to make sure is that the user account has an ALLOW policy for:
s3:ListAllMyBuckets

Put together, the entire script looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python

import boto3

serial_number = input('Enter your device serial number: ')
token = input('Enter your MFA Token: ')

# This line is necessary if you're using
# a profile other than your default profile
boto3.setup_default_session(profile_name='demo_cli')

client = boto3.client('sts')

response = client.get_session_token(
    DurationSeconds=3600,
    SerialNumber=serial_number,
    TokenCode=token,
)

s3 = boto3.client('s3',
    aws_access_key_id=response['Credentials']['AccessKeyId'],
    aws_secret_access_key=response['Credentials']['SecretAccessKey'],
    aws_session_token=response['Credentials']['SessionToken']
)

response_s3 = s3.list_buckets()

# Output the bucket names
print('Existing buckets:')
for bucket in response_s3['Buckets']:
    print(f'  {bucket["Name"]}')


And that's never been more true than in today's consumer environment, where marketers face intense competition for the attention of customers, both online and offline. There's always going to be another company that offers something similar to your product or service, so it's important that your customers feel a strong tie to your brand. Like a closet full of clothes, what makes your brand the best choice? In other words, how do you get your customer hooked onto your brand?
Aside from demonstrating that you value them (with great customer service and a product or service that delivers), to build a lasting, memorable and fashionable brand you need to: 1) surround your customer with examples of success, 2) create content that supports their experience, and 3) deliver it wherever they are.
Make your customers the hero to retain them and win brand loyalty. You can do this by showcasing real people (your customers) using your products. This technique acts as a proof point of a brand's popularity and inspires confidence in new buyers. When your products are being used by everyday people, buyers are more likely to relate to them and see themselves using your products too.
Have you ever been on your favorite retailer's website and saw a shirt that you loved, but assumed it would never look like that on you? Been there, done that! The picture-perfect models just don't resonate with me enough to get my fingers to move the cursor and click "add to shopping cart." On the flip side, the second I see a customer wearing the same shirt, oftentimes on social media or on the retailer's "customer highlights" section, the lights turn green and I am completely onboard—adding to my shopping cart and getting it in every color. Overnight shipping? A must—now come to mama!
The same concept applies to your business with customer success stories. Supplying potential customers with user-generated content gives them the tools they need to believe in your company. Just take a look at outdoor clothing retailer Patagonia, who celebrates its customers as heroes in "Worn Wear: The Stories We Wear", an entire micro website dedicated to customers and their stories about their Patagonia items. These stories range from highlighting the sentimental value to exotic adventures to long-lasting wear. For example, take a look at Andrew. Andrew hiked 2,800 miles across the backbone of America wearing the same Patagonia shirt the entire time. Not sure if I could take that trek on, but there must be something special about that shirt for him to wear it day in and day out. This user-generated content provides potential and existing customers with real examples of why they should choose Patagonia, and the adventures they can complete with their Patagonia wear.
Content drives your business. It's what engages your audience and gets your brand top-of-mind. It's through the content that your voice is created and heard. Your content is the key to creating brand awareness. In fact, I'm much more likely to buy a brand that I have heard of, and other customers are likely the same way because familiarity with a brand serves as social proof.
Madewell is a retail company that weaves both their brand purpose and audience into their content marketing through their blog " Madewell Musings". This blog is a go-to place for fashion news, tips, and ideas. And although the blog focuses on fashion, it ties in other topics like music, art, and literature. By adding these other elements, Madewell has created a lifestyle around what their readers wear, which ultimately helps drive sales and creates an overall buzz around their brand.
In today's digitally connected world, reaching your audience is key. We live in a society where marketers must blur the online and offline channels. Consumers already expect this, but how do marketers measure up to these expectations? Create a compelling experience across all channels during your customer's evaluation process. Being ready to respond to a customer's behavior with the right message, at the right time, and in the right place will not only help them feel understood by your brand, but will help accelerate their decision (whether that's to sign up for your blog newsletter or make a purchase).
Consider Macy's digital strategy for mobile commerce with iBeacon, offering customers special deals through mobile marketing and push notifications. Macy's shoppers who enter the store with the Shopkick app installed on their phones are alerted of deals and items they may be interested in. This type of precision marketing is very effective for retailers. Being able to reach the shoppers with relevant messages and offers throughout their entire shopping experience is key to blending the online and the offline.
Like the Coco Chanel quote that I started with, creating a unique and strong brand will help attract and retain consumers and make your marketing efforts more successful overall. Start brainstorming with your team on how you can implement these three tips for your brand.

Petrena Fishburn
'An Arts degree is the sort of qualification that establishes you personally and professionally...'
Bachelor of Arts in Art History and Theory and English
Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Art History
Master of Arts in Art History
Collection Curator, Aigantighe Art Gallery, Timaru
Petrena had been working as a youth worker and an office administrator before coming to UC, wanting to gain a professional qualification; she discovered Art History as her new-found passion and pursued her degree into an honours and master's year. She is now working as the Collection Curator at Timaru's public art gallery, the Aigantighe Art Gallery.
Petrena's choosing UC was highly influenced from her love of Christchurch after moving from Blenheim, and she has since thoroughly enjoyed its 'beautiful' campus and community. Studying an Arts degree, she feels, is a great platform to work towards a professional career.
'I have been really impressed by the support of lecturers at Canterbury who have been part of my journey and I think that an Arts degree is the sort of qualification that establishes you personally and professionally – whichever career path you choose. It was through the contacts I made at UC, what I learnt, and the opportunities that I gained, which has got me to where I am now.'
'The study itself has been wonderful, but the people that you meet and work with are even more so.'
Wanting to take her skills further, Petrena also took part in one of UC's BA internship programmes. Her course involved researching and cataloguing material from the Baverstock Collection at the Macmillan Brown Library, as records for students and the public to use. The experience has been invaluable, and opened doors for her to gain employment during her studies as a Gallery Assistant at Chambers 241, and as a Research Assistant back at the Macmillan Brown Library.
'What I really enjoy about what I am doing is that there is such a nice balance between research or seeking information, while at the same time building relationships with those involved in Canterbury's art scene. With my own research I really enjoy the opportunity to document part of Christchurch's history.'
After completing honours, Petrena was presented with a UC Summer Scholarship which involved working for the AA Deans Trust, cataloguing over 800 works of art left by Austen Deans to his family, and storing them safely for their preservation.
Petrena's master's thesis focused on Barbara Brooke, a Canterbury arts administrator, arts magazine editor, and an early dealer gallery founder and director who was 'the ultimate supporter and promoter of contemporary New Zealand art in the period after WWII. She was a woman who helped establish the careers of many New Zealand artists.'
After submitting her master's thesis in 2014, Petrena is currently collaborating with the Auckland artist, Julia Holderness, to bring part of this thesis to life. The pair are creating an installation about Gallery 91 – the first contemporary dealer gallery in Christchurch that was founded by Barbara Brooke and her husband Andre in 1959 – for SCAPE Public Art in October 2017.
'Things really began to solidify for me when I did the BA internship. At the Macmillan Brown Library I experienced working in a professional team, and I learnt that my ideas and voice were valid in professional situations. Through the internship I made contacts and gained skills that have directly empowered me for what I am now doing this year.
'Furthermore, through my work for the AA Deans Trust, I gained experience in handling of, cataloguing and caring for artworks – these are skills which lead to a similar job for another New Zealand artist, Philip Trusttum, and then gave me the experience for the role that I now hold today at the Aigantighe Art Gallery. I always wanted to be an Art Gallery Registrar.'
Petrena has some short and sweet advice for those thinking of doing a BA or an internship course.
'My advice would be trust your ideas of interest, take opportunities that come your way, and go for it!'

Q: Issuing AJAX request in the callback of setState() I have been coding my ReactJS AJAX requests like this:
this.setState({
    isLoading: true,
    results: null
});
$.get(ajaxUrl, function(results) {
    this.setState({
        isLoading: false,
        results: results
    });
}.bind(this));

This is just an example, it lacks error handling, throttling, cancelling requests, etc. But the gist is there. I basically ask for some state to be set and then issue a request.
Looking at some other code on GitHub, though, I noticed that some people write their AJAX calls in the setState callback:
this.setState({
    isLoading: true,
    results: null
}, function() {
    $.get(ajaxUrl, function(results) {
        this.setState({
            isLoading: false,
            results: results
        });
    }.bind(this));
}.bind(this));

Is there a valid reason to do so? The docs say:

There is no guarantee of synchronous operation of calls to setState and calls may be batched for performance gains.

So there is no guarantee that setState mutates the state before returning, but I see no mention that different setState's may execute out of order. So the worst that could happen is that the "loading" state never gets rendered. Is this what the latter style is trying to solve? Is there some other risk I fail to see?

A:
but I see no mention that different setState's may execute out of order

Correct they are run in order, and from a UX perspective you don't want to show a loading indicator for less than half a second.
The case for needing this looks more like this:
this.setState({
    isLoading: true,
    results: this.state.results || []
}, function() {
    $.get(ajaxUrl, function(results) {
        this.setState({
            isLoading: false,
            // note! we're referring to state here
            results: this.state.results.concat(results)
        });
    }.bind(this));
}.bind(this));

However, this can also be solved by passing a callback to setState instead of the object.  This way, we get to look at state after any previous queued updates have occurred.

It's also possible to pass a function with the signature function(state, props). This can be useful in some cases when you want to enqueue an atomic update that consults the previous value of state+props before setting any values.
  – Component Api Docs

this.setState({
    isLoading: true,
    results: null
});
$.get(ajaxUrl, function(results) {
    this.setState(function(state){
        return {
            isLoading: false,
            results: state.results.concat(results)
        };
    });
}.bind(this));

For best results, abstract all of this into a high order component or mixin.  You don't want to deal with this logic in every component that's fetching data.

Graffiti Protests Multiply
Political graffiti surges in popularity because of the crackdown on nearly every other means of expression.
A few streets away from Robert Mugabe's heavily guarded official residence is a wall painted with screaming red graffiti telling Zimbabwe's president that "At 80, it's time to go".
Mugabe - who will actually celebrate his 82nd birthday next month with a multi-million dollar bash - passes the scarlet advice almost daily as he is driven in his huge heavily-armed motorcade to his ruling ZANU PF party headquarters in the city centre.
Other graffiti insulting the president and ZANU PF have multiplied recently on walls in Harare and other major cities and towns. Along a street named after the president himself, a dissident artist has scrawled, "Mugabe is a dictator."
With nearly all avenues of protest closed, Zimbabweans frustrated by the Mugabe regime use graffiti to express their anger with the system. The words on the walls are a clear indication that the majority of the people in the towns and cities are completely fed up with the ruling party and yearn for change.
Graffiti writing started off as a minor case of delinquency common to all the world's urban centres, but in Zimbabwe it has blossomed into a major form of protest and self-expression for people who find themselves with fewer liberties with each passing day.
So popular has this type of protest become that nearly every wall along the streets of Harare is painted with graffiti. Some hurls insults at the president's young wife, Grace, known as "The First Shopper" for the way she spent huge amounts of money in the top boutiques of London, Paris and New York before Britain, France and the United States banned her and her husband from entering their countries. Grace, a former secretary, was once photographed at Singapore's Changi International Airport with fifteen trolley-loads of exotic foods and electronic goods at a time when the World Food Programme said half the Zimbabwe population was starving.
But mostly the writings implore the president to leave office for the sake of the country. For example, along Samora Machel Avenue, named after Mozambique's first president, the slogans say minimally, "Please go." And as the democratic space continues to shrink, the activists have become more and more fearless and cunning, even painting walls only a few metres away from State House, Mugabe's heavily guarded residence.
When underground activists were campaigning to stop England, Australia and New Zealand playing matches in Zimbabwe during the 2003 Cricket World Cup, they targeted a wall less than 50 metres from State House. The guards rubbed them out overnight, but in the course of the following night the graffiti reappeared. The slogans included, "Mugabe has killed this country", "Never trust ZANU PF" and "Mugabe's hands are full of blood."
Mugabe finally put a stop to the graffiti writing by putting a 24-hour armed guard on the wall.
But since then the messages conveyed by the graffiti have grown angrier and stronger - and multiplied on road signs, advertising billboards and in toilets, as well as on walls.
Chirikure Chirikure, one of Zimbabwe's most popular poets and songsters, believes the graffiti is a sign of people trying to communicate their pain to both the leadership and the rest of the public. "It is an expression of anger, pain and at times dialogue," he said. "For myself, staying silent is impossible, even though protest poets get assaulted by government thugs at public readings. I have to speak out. It is my duty to my people."
Chirikure said that although graffiti had its origins in Ancient Rome and was revived in the inner cities of modern America, Zimbabweans have woken up to its effectiveness as a means of protest in a country where street demonstrations are illegal and ruthlessly suppressed. "It has become a voice for the voiceless," he said.
The graffiti increasingly takes the form of an exchange of ideas, with other graffiti artists responding to earlier slogans. "That is the dialogue that the people are yearning for," said the poet. "They used to write letters to the papers, but now that those papers have been closed they have turned to graffiti."
Graffiti writers, who face up to five years imprisonment if caught going about their work, say they hope their art will help convey to the outside world the desperate state of the nation, where millions are hungry and jobless, where inflation is touching 600 per cent and unemployment 80 per cent. Its beauty is that it is one of the few types of art that the government finds difficult to control and censor.
ZANU PF has tried, though without success, to counter the graffiti either by rubbing it off or writing counter-messages, which suggests that the critical graffiti is unnerving the regime. British premier Tony Blair is a favourite target of Mugabe's graffiti teams.
Graffiti has become so widespread because of the crackdown on nearly every other means of expression. Mugabe's government has closed four newspapers since 2002. The state has also promulgated laws that outlaw public meetings and street demonstrations without permission from the police. Several citizens have been arrested for criticising the president in public.
Critical plays have also been censored. Dave Guzha, a leading theatre producer and playwright, said the emergence of graffiti "is a sign that the people are desperate to
say something to the Establishment".
Guzha has had his plays censored or banned. One satirical work, Super Patriots and Morons, was outlawed in the middle of last year's Harare International Festival of Arts. It pokes fun at an iron-fisted African head of state who is intolerant of opposition and sees all dissenters as enemies and "neo-imperialist stooges" who have to be "eliminated". Mugabe's ban ensured that the play would enjoy international success, including rave reviews at the Edinburgh International Festival
Guzha said Zimbabwe's crumbling economy and the withdrawal of funds from cash-strapped donors has forced many artists, for whom graffiti has become a vital outlet, onto the streets. More than 330 community theatre groups have shut down over the past three years. "For me, graffiti is filling the gap left by newspapers, musicians, theatre groups and street demonstrations," said Guzha.
The art of graffiti has also been institutionalised by underground opposition groups who use it to protest against the regime. One particularly active subversive group, Zvakwana, Shona for "Enough is Enough", has become the leader in this type of protest. Zvakwana now has a website and also prints dissident pamphlets which are widely distributed.
Zvakwana has also produced a CD of anti-Mugabe and anti-government protest songs, while the authorities themselves have cracked down hard and tirelessly on dissenting musicians. Thomas Mapfumo, Zimbabwe's best-known musician, who achieved fame singing protest songs against pre-independence white rule, is now in exile in the USA after being hounded out by the government.
Mapfumo was banned from the airwaves of the four state-controlled radio stations for his new flood of critical songs, including the wildly popular and regionally famous "Mamvemve", a Shona word that translates as "tatters".
In Mamvemve, Mapfumo sings, "The country you used to cry for is now in tatters. Let's get out of here. The country you used to cry for is now run by crooks."
Mapfumo, who now lives in Oregon with his family, said it was easier to get his protest songs played in the days of the former white Rhodesian government. "Today we have a black government and it's even worse," he said. "You are trying to tell the people the truth, what is happening in their country, and somebody is trying to shut you down. Everything [the government says] is just propaganda. They are trying to fool the people."
Those dissident musicians that remain in Zimbabwe like Leonard Zhakata, Portia Gwanzura and Raymond Majongwe, the target of a botched assassination attempt last year by government agents, have also been censored and are not played on the national radio stations.
Musicians willing to become Robert Mugabe's praise singers are heard endlessly on government-controlled radio. In one such song, singer Tambaoga complains about Tony Blair's alleged efforts to recolonise Zimbabwe. Since the British leader's surname also happens to be the brand name of rudimentary pit toilets common across rural areas, Tambaoga suddenly switches out of Shona to sing his punch line in English, "The only Blair I know is a toilet." The joke used to amuse even those who hated Mugabe, but has now worn thin.

Q: Can a JFormattedTextField be assigned a formatter which has placeholders I've used the following line of code to only allow users to enter digits inside a JFormattedTextField which collects information on time
final JFormattedTextField periodTextField = new JFormattedTextField();
periodTextField.setFormatterFactory(new DefaultFormatterFactory(createFormatter("##:## - ##:##")));

When running my application the text field will appear as ": - :" by default, but I would like it to appear as "00:00 - 00:00" as default, and editing the text field will only change the values of the 0's nothing else. I've looked at this guide for help on using formatters in java, but it doesn't mention how you can set default values. Is there a simple way to achieve what I need.

Tlatelolco (język nahuatl tlatelli lub xaltiloll, piaszczyste wzgórze) – bliźniacze miasto Tenochtitlánu, służące w okresie prekolumbijskim jako najważniejsze centrum handlowe Mezoameryki. W roku 1521 miała miejsce tutaj ostatnia i decydująca bitwa pomiędzy Aztekami pod wodzą Cuauhtémoca a Hiszpanami. Ocenia się, że zginęło wówczas około 40 tysięcy Indian. Miasto zostało splądrowane i zniszczone przez konkwistadorów Cortésa, którzy zbudowali w tym miejscu kościół Santiago (św. Jakuba).

Silver Lake High School quarterback Mitch Graziano threw for three touchdowns and ran for two as the Lakers held off Pembroke's comebacks. The Titans got four touchdowns from junior Jon Hooper.
It's not like Silver Lake High School's football team wouldn't have wanted it any other way. The Lakers' goal this season, after all, was to play past Thanksgiving.
Closing a 7-4 campaign with a 42-28 victory over Pembroke, and clinching a perfect home record in the process, was still a pretty good way to go out, though.
There was no better way to describe the performance of SL senior quarterback Mitch Graziano, who rushed for more than 250 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns after throwing three TD passes. He also caught a two-point conversion from Pat Finn, after Matthew Grote opened the scoring with a 2-yard run.
Graziano was at his best after the worst moment of Silver Lake's morning.
With a 22-0 lead whittled to 22-15, Graziano (14 for 19, 137 yards) was intercepted by Titans two-way standout Jon Hooper near the Lakers' 30-yard line. Hooper's pick-six shaved the lead to 22-21.
Graziano bounced back to lead an eight-play, 66-yard touchdown drive that put the hosts over the top: He carried six times for 57 yards, and capped it on fourth-and-7 with an 11-yard TD pass to junior Tyler Llerena, who scored the first six of his career.
Despite a powerful offensive performance from Graziano; receivers Gavin Doherty (5 catches for 66 yards, 1 TD) Patrick Mahoney (5 catches, 41 yards) and Tommy Lennon (TD catch); and senior linemen Gaby Hajnasr, Tyler Mills, Brandon Roy, Naja Nessralla and Kyle Copeland, the Lakers' season almost ended in disappointment.
Pembroke (5-5) matched SL score-for-score after a slow start, mainly through the efforts of Hooper (14 attempts, 74 yards). Besides the INT return, the junior scored the Titans' other TDs on runs of 28, 2 and 10 yards.
The Titans, who only ran six offensive plays as the Lakers built a 16-point lead, benefited from a switch to a Wildcat-themed offense to start the second half. That allowed linemen Nate Richard, Dan McCourt, Alexander Deegan, Sean Richards, Joe Conathon and Dylan Johnson to hit their stride, and enabled quarterback Luke Nagle (9 for 17, 107 yards) to make key completions.

Last week Governor Tom Wolf vetoed SB 1172, saying that the proposed changes to Pennsylvania's Price Gouging Act would undermine consumer protections during a declared emergency, when the law kicks in automatically. Taking the governor's veto message in its literal sense would mean that 235 of 253 lawmakers who voted for the bill (including nearly all of his Democratic colleagues) were guilty of one of two egregious governance sins when they sent the bill to his desk: they either didn't know what was in the bill or didn't care whether it would unfairly burden consumers.
Neither is true. Lawmakers heeded the advice of business advocates, large and small, up and down the supply chain, that the common-sense changes proposed in the legislation will only further protect consumers from market distortions during and after emergencies.
"Governor Wolf's veto of this bipartisan consensus legislation is very regrettable," said PMA President & CEO David N. Taylor. "Without these necessary changes to the law, consumers and the businesses that serve them will be the losers in the long run."
PMA joined the PA Chamber of Business & Industry, the PA Food Merchants Association, the Pennsylvania Retailers Association, the Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association, and other statewide business groups in releasing a statement promising to continue to work for reform of the law – just as many other states have reformed their price gouging laws over the past few years.
"A blanket veto of this overwhelmingly bipartisan legislation is the wrong move for consumers and businesses in our Commonwealth," the statement from the business groups said. "We will continue to work with the legislature and governor to address this important issue."
SB 1172, sponsored by Sen. Randy Vulakov
ich (R-Allegheny), would have given the governor the discretion of activating the Price Gouging Act separately from the declaration of an emergency. Giving the governor that discretion would allow the law to be applied along the lines of its original intent: when a damaging storm or other disaster threatens the supply lines of basic, necessary consumers goods and services. But now the law is being applied during the governor's repeated emergency declarations over the opioid crisis. The opioid and heroin epidemic is an emergency, to be sure, but one that has no impact on the supply of goods and services.
One noted market economist and pricing strategy consultant, Rafi Mohammed of the University of Virginia, called the application of the law during an opioid crisis "insane."
"There's absolutely no reason why prices would go up during an opioid crisis as they would in a natural disaster," Mohammed said.
The automatic trigger also leaves business, especially smaller ones, exposed to legal action if prices are raised an "unconscionably excessive" amount. With an impossibly ponderous qualifier like that in the law, business have a right to feel vulnerable, says Adam Millsap, assistant director of the L. Charles Hilton Jr. Center for the Study of Economic Prosperity and Individual Opportunity at Florida State University.
"A business could be coming off a big sale just as an emergency is declared," said Millsap. "What's unconscionably excessive supposed to mean to them when they go to raise prices after the sale."
Along those lines, the bill would have provided guidance as to what prices would not violate the law, including safe harbors for prices that are 10% or less above specified benchmarks or consistent with external market prices.
The bill would have also limited the duration of pricing restrictions to 15 days, with extensions up to 60 days allowable. With the repeated emergency declarations over the opioid crisis, there is now no end in sight to the restrictions.
Price gouging laws on any level do more harm than good, Millsap says.
"Prices are signals to both producers and consumers," he said. "Higher prices tell producers to get out more product and they also tell consumers it's time to economize."
Missing in all this is the fact that most businesses of late have advertised they would keep their prices stable during a disaster. In some cases, they have even offered free services; most notably the free phone service offered in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael in the Florida Panhandle.
"You can call it good marketing or good will," Mohammed said. "It's probably a little of both, and it's working."
The legislation the governor vetoed would have had zero impact on the state's effort to combat the opioid epidemic in Pennsylvania, and the legislation would have given consumers and businesses the reassurance that they won't be unfairly burdened by a law whose application has no role in the crisis.

Archives|Capitalism Depends on Character
Capitalism Depends on Character
By JEAN STROUSE JULY 7, 2002
When the late 19th-century counterparts of Enron, WorldCom and Global Crossing got into trouble, the investment banker J. Pierpont Morgan took over, allegedly growling at rogue managers, ''Your company belongs to my clients.''
The companies in question were railroads, which brought about productivity changes as revolutionary (and as lucrative) as those derived from information and communications technology 100 years later. In the booming 1880's, 75,000 miles of new track were laid, more than in any previous decade anywhere in the world, and the capital invested in American railroads rose from $2.5 billion in 1870 to $10 billion by 1890. The size of private fortunes soared: railroad barons worth more than $100 million in 1889 included Jay Gould, Leland Stanford and the heirs of Cornelius Vanderbilt.
The prospect of immense wealth led, as it does in all speculative bubbles, to overbuilding, fierce competition, widespread corruption and economic collapse. Wildcat promoters sold worthless securities to eager investors with dollar signs in their eyes, or built shoddy roads parallel to existing tracks, hoping to force the older lines to buy them out. Buccaneer managers manipulated the securities of their own roads, plundered capital reserves, bribed politicians and formed bogus construction companies to charge exorbitant fees that they willingly paid -- to themselves.
Often it was hard to tell good guys from bad guys: ''Commodore'' Vanderbilt and Jay Gould ran successful railroads using outlaw tactics. Government had neither the power nor the mandate to impose order on this chaotically growing industry. J. P. Morgan did -- since he controlled its access to capital.
His firm raised funds for America's railroads by selling bonds and preferred stock abroad. The emerging United States economy did not have the resources to build enormously expensive roads, but foreign investors who had been rooked by profiteering pirates were not about to send more money 3,000 miles across the Atlantic without some guarantee that it would be safe. Morgan essentially provided that guarantee, choosing solid properties and taking what he called ''moral responsibility'' for companies whose securities he underwrote. When a road he had backed went bankrupt, he and his partners stepped in, saying in effect ''we control the company, or no bailout.'' The pattern of what came to be called ''Morganization'' involved scrutinizing every aspect of a railroad's operations, restructuring its finances, raising capital, settling lawsuits, firing managers, hiring new ones, appointing directors, and keeping vigilant watch over the company's finances, sometimes for decades, until solvency was restored.
Morgan had plenty of critics -- he was a domineering plutocrat more concerned with building giant trusts and maintaining the international value of the dollar than with the struggles of American farmers and workers or the social costs of industrialization. Nonetheless, in a time of cowboy capitalism he was an honest broker representing thousands of widely dispersed stock- and bondholders who owned ''new economy'' railroads but had no effective control over the managers who ran them. In the course of his career he helped make American markets credible to foreign investors, kept the flow of capital moving east to west and transformed railroad securities from high-risk speculations into stable, long-term investments.
What the new new economy needs in the wake of recent scandals is a force comparable to Morgan's. Someone has to stand behind the fundamental accuracy of a company's financial statements in a legally responsible way, but derelict auditors, executives and boards of directors have defaulted, either by design or inexcusable ignorance. A second tier of guardians -- Wall Street analysts, rating agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission -- failed to issue warnings of corporate deceit. As a result, foreign investors are no less spooked than they were in the 1890's, and American shareholders have flipped from euphoria to gloom. Excessive fear is choking off the market's access to capital, hurting sound companies as well as crooks -- even though the economy appears to be recovering and there are few attractive alternatives to American stocks. The evil-doers at WorldCom, Enron and company have done more than Al Qaeda to undermine confidence in American capitalism. Not since the 1930's has there been such a shudder of revulsion against big business.
To some extent we're in the mop-up that inevitably follows market manias. (Referring to the boom-and-bust cycles of 19th-century America, John Kenneth Galbraith said that the intervals between panics corresponded roughly with the time it took people to forget the last disaster.) Potential chief executives are now doing rigorous due diligence before taking big jobs. Arthur Andersen is out of business, Enron is in court, WorldCom is toast. Punishing losses have made it clear that investing entails real risk. But the deposed miscreants made off with millions while company employees and ordinary investors were wiped out.
Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said recently that corporate executives who falsely certify company finances should go to jail -- which sounds like a good idea, although white collar criminals can usually afford terrific defense lawyers. Capital markets do not work effectively unless people believe in their essential integrity. Investors will only take necessary risks if the game isn't rigged.
In today's vast, complex markets, no one can play J. P. Morgan, but a remark he made near the end of his life is worth recalling. Asked by the lawyer for a congressional investigating committee in 1912 whether bankers issued commercial credit only to people who already had money or property, Morgan said, ''No sir; the first thing is character.'' The skeptical lawyer repeated his question and Morgan, in Victorian terminology, elaborated on his answer -- ''because a man I do not trust could not get money from me on all the bonds in Christendom.''

Facebook 'Watch Party' Allows Further Engagement
Checkout Facebook's Latest Feature: Facebook Watch Party
Facebook is leading the way to 'social viewing' with their newest addition, Watch Party.
Their latest feature allows members of a group to watch videos together. Participants can comment and react to the video, whether it is live or recorded.
Erin Connolly, Product Manager, commented, "We've been focused on building new ways to bring people together around video, create connections, and ignite conversations; Watch Party is the next step in bringing this vision to life."
Along with launching Watch Party to all Facebook Groups across the globe, Facebook has launched two new additional features to help everything run smoothly:
– Co-hosting – allows the host of a Watch Party to designate other co-hosts who can add videos and keep the party going
– Crowdsourcing – enables anyone in a Watch Party to suggest videos for the host to add to the Watch Party
Connolly commented, "Some describe how this shared viewing experience can be used to bridge distance between close friends and family when they can't physically be together. Imagine sitting down to watch a loved one's graduation video with your extended family when they couldn't be there in person, reliving a vacation by sharing videos and swapping memories, or even just hanging out with friends watching funny videos together."
Whilst a Facebook Watch Party would clearly be advantageous for long distance friends and family to connect, there are methods for businesses to implement to make the most out of Facebook's latest feature.
Facebook Watch Party could pave the way for a new marketing strategy. Facebook Groups can already create a community for businesses to build a strong relationship with consumers, promote their products and aid rapport. Watch Parties could deepen the business to consumer relationship even further …
– They could watch and interact with videos together, where the business can show genuine interest in the thoughts of the consumer
– Watch Parties could be an exciting way to share announcements, where businesses can encourage as many consumers to engage with one another
– They could be used to discuss trending industry news, again showing the business has a genuine interest in the consumer
To kickstart the global launch, Facebook lined up a Weekend of Watch Parties, where Facebook Groups from across the globe were able to share Watch Parties and connect their communities from July 27th – July 29th. Here's a few of the groups who participated:
– Buzzfeed's Tasty Group
– Physician Moms Group
– Female Travel Bloggers
– The Broke Black Girl
It will be interesting to see how the Facebook community as a whole react to Watch Parties, and whether or not they will be the next big trend for marketers.

hereO: A GPS watch your kids will love
Lungelo Shezi
Ask any parent and they will tell you that the safety of their kids is one of their highest priorities. Thanks to technology, the anxiety in not knowing whether your children are safe or not, can be eased.
That's why hereO, a US family location sharing service startup, has created the hereO kids GPS watch, the smallest kids GPS watch in the world, which helps parents know exactly where their kids are at any given time.
The hereO was created for kids aged 3 and up and comes with a Family app available for iOS, Android and Windows Phone, which parents or other family members can use to track their kids and receive various alerts and notifications such as panic alert, check-in alert, low-battery alert and more.
The hereO comes with handy features such a child-lock that makes sure the watch will stay on a kid's wrist even while they're playing and if a stranger tries to remove it from them, an alert will immediately be sent to the app letting their parent's know. A panic alert function allows kids to send an alert ti their parents letting them know they're in danger and need help.
The hereO comes with a SIM card that doesn't have to be linked to any network but instead works via an internet connection. hereO is currently raise funds to produce more watches on Indiegogo. At the moment, it has raised $83 489 of its $100 000 goal with 21 days left before funding closes. If it doesn't reach its goal, hereO will still receive all the funds raised.
The hereO works and can be shipped to over 120 countries including South Africa and goes for $99 while it's still on Indiegogo, thereafter it'll be $149.

Why Uncharted 3 Will Be The Best Looking Console Game This Year
Posted By Kartik Mudgal | On 21st, Aug. 2011 Under Feature, Slider | Follow This Author @KartikMdgl
Previous Next	Page 1 of 4
Please use the back-next back buttons to navigate through the gallery below.
1) Lighting
After some improvements to the Unreal Engine 3 by Epic games, we have to say Gears of War 3 sports fine lighting effects. It is much improved from Gears of War 2. However, Uncharted 3 is no slack either, with better HDR lighting and shadows. The usage of global illumination on Gears of War 3 gives it a massive visual boost overall. But as seen in both the beta's Uncharted 3 has a slight edge.
Uncharted 2 was widely recognized as one of the best looking console games ever. It's mainly due to the insane attention to detail the game had, that was never seen in a console game before. The interesting color scheme, animations, the amount of polygons pushed and the splendid art design all came together to become a visual fiesta. Uncharted 2 came out in 2009 and there have been plenty of good looking games released after it. Games like Killzone 3, Gran Turismo 5 etc. all are incredibly impressive on consoles. Uncharted 2 holds well against these games but it was time for a successor. Yes, Uncharted 3.
Some may argue that PS3's power was already tapped out by Naughty Dog, and there was no room for improvement, but we disagree. There are a lot of things that Naughty Dog is doing for Uncharted 3. First of all, they have changed the engine to support 3D. Which means? Yes, the engine is much faster and can take a lot more load. Better code optimizations result in better performance. In these two years since Uncharted 2 came out, Naughty Dog would have got the chance to code for the PS3 more effectively and they themselves said this when they compared Uncharted 3's performance to a Formula 1 car.
"We're at full speed, optimizing code specifically for the SPUs, it's a great resource because [SPUs] are extremely fast, and if you optimize they get faster than you ever thought they could be. That's where the quality of our images comes from," said Christophe Balestra, co-president of Naughty Dog.
What this means is that, the game runs much faster and can do a lot more things. For e.g. Uncharted 3 has much better HDR lighting than Uncharted 2, which is an extremely impressive achievement. When we say, Uncharted 3 will be the best looking game this year; we have to take the completion in mind. Which game has a good chance of challenging Uncharted 3 this year? We believe its Gears of War 3. Epic knows the Xbox 360 inside out, and considering it's their third game and after the Gears of War 3 beta, it has been established that it is one of the best looking games on the Xbox 360, we pick this one. Note: Gears of War 3 supports stereoscopic 3D as well.
The recently concluded Uncharted 3 beta showed how well the game is shaping up. Bear in mind, while the beta had some aliasing issues due to Naughty Dog using some custom Anti-Aliasing solution, which puts less strain on the PS3, but does a poor job of completely eliminating jaggies. This should be fixed, however, because Naughty dog can do a lot in 3 months as shown in this pic.
So can Gears of War 3 beat Uncharted 3? We don't think so and we have our reasons as to why that won't happen.
Furthermore, Uncharted 3 also has better:
Frame rate: This is where Uncharted 3 has a clear advantage after playing both betas. The framerate rarely dipped below 30 but in Gears of War 3, we saw a little hiccup during intense action sequences.
Animation: This is where Uncharted 3 triumphs easily. Seeing Drake move is such a joy to watch compared to the tank like animations of the Gears 3 characters. The way Drake climbs and avoids obstacles prove this point well. We know Uncharted 3 has some platforming mechanics and hence commands an advantage but when the question arises of superior animations, Gears of War 3 has no chance against it
So can Gears of War 3 beat Uncharted 3 visually this year? Based on technical merits, we have to say no and we do know that Naughty Dog's artists are much more creative than Epic's, resulting in spectacular environments and art design. The Chateau map in the multiplayer beta shows this well. It's clear that Gears of War 3 is shaping up to be the best looking Xbox 360 game, and will be visually superior than majority of console games out there, but when pushed the PS3 like only Naughty Dog can, we have to say Uncharted 3 has a better chance of reclaiming the graphics crown.
So there we have it folks, two of the best looking console games will go head-to-head this year and will fully utilize their respective console's strength. Which one do you think will triumph? We have chosen our pick; tell us yours in the comments section below.
Gears of War 3 releases on September 20th for the Xbox 360, and Uncharted 3 comes out on November 11th for the PS3. Whoever wins the graphical battle doesn't matter but gamers are in for an one hell of a ride!
