Having been to more tech conferences than I'd like to admit, Uprise Festival is refreshing. The people-first technology event is loosely organised around tackling big issues with an irreverent attitude.
Technology, music, workshops and mayhem: that's what the organisers promised. In a way, that's what we got.
Uprise is a beautiful way to see startups (both from Dublin and abroad) in 'the wild' as they make a big splash. Speakers share their wisdom in conversations, not egocentric keynote talks that you've heard variations of before.
And then there's the pitch battle. Conversations about the past battles are legendary. Four Irish startups and five business from beyond our shores battle in an extremely quick elevator pitch-a-thon and it gets pretty crazy.
"Did you hear someone dropped their pants last time?," one entrepreneur told me.
I'm not quite sure what to make of that story but it's clear some of the best minds in the room want to see all of these startups succeed.
Ronan Kelly, co-founder of Bespoke Choice, pitched as part of Team Green (the Irish startups). His family business, the Errigal Hotel in County Cavan, helped inspire his software to help wedding venues showcase their offerings.
Instead of a PDF with Option A, Option B, and Option C, Bespoke Choice gives brides a way to drag and drop options to plan out a customised wedding online.
Brides can chose everything from the dinner menu to tablecloths. The system also helps with the event management on the back-end with a way to potentially up-sell items later.
For independent venues, this could be a huge opportunity to stand out in a growing industry.
For many venues, like the Kelly family's hotel, the real advantage of better software is that it can reach wider audiences. Consider the couple planning a destination wedding. Kelly says their system makes it easier for the bride to make decisions without physically visiting the venue.
"This makes this process so much easier," says Kelly.
Bespoke Choice is currently only in a beta stage (the family venue has already tried out the software) but they plan to launch in early January, right in time for all of the Christmas and New Year engagements.
Also on Team Green is Trupe founder Brian Halligan. Like Bespoke Choice, Trupe will launch later this year. It uses geofencing for people to share video and photos. For example, fans attending a concert could share their snaps with other fans in the arena.
This differs from most social experiences because it means you are sharing things with people you don't necessarily know but you have a shared interest.
Halligan says they're trying to avoid the pitfalls that brought down another social network depending on geofencing called Yik Yak.
As reported, the anonymous messaging app became a haven for cruelty and bullying before it was shut down this year.
Trupe, will not be fully anonymous, since it will be linked to a person's Facebook account. The platform will also be open, which Halligan believes will lead to better quality content.
The prize eventually went to Dutch-based Bloo Vision, which provides training to help children overcome a lazy eye.
The conversations were intimate and real. The battles were wild. And thankfully, trousers remained firmly on.
See you all next year for more mayhem!

Eli Hertz:US Presidents and Israel
U.S. Presidents Support a Jewish National Home in Palestine - Eretz-Israel
Righteousness and Justice are on Our Side
Update: May 25, 2011 | Eli E. Hertz
Before the Zionist movement assumed concrete form, among the first to express approval of the return of the Jews to Palestine was John Adams, the second President of the United States, who wrote to Maj. Mordecai Manuel Noah, the first American Zionist, as follows:
"I really wish the Jews again in Judea, an independent nation; as I believe, the most enlightened men of it have participated in the amelioration of the philosophy of the ages; once restored to an independent government, and no longer persecuted, they would soon wear a way some of the asperities and peculiarities of their character. I wish your nation may be admitted to all the privileges of citizens in every part of the world. This country (America) has done much; I wish it may do more and annul every narrow idea in religion, government, and commerce" (1819).
President Woodrow Wilson (the twenty-eighth President, 1913-1921) was the founder of the League of Nations for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919. Wilson's efforts to join the Unites States as a member of the League of Nations were unsuccessful due to oppositions in the U.S. Senate.
President Wilson was the first American president to support modern Zionism and Britain's efforts for the creation of a National Home for Jews in Palestine (the text of the Balfour Declaration had been submitted to President Wilson and had been approved by him before its publication).
President Wilson expressed his deep belief in the eventuality of the creation of a Jewish State:
"I welcome an opportunity to express the satisfaction I have felt in the progress of the Zionist movement in the United States, and in the allied countries, since the declaration of Mr. Balfour" (August 31, 1918).
"I am persuaded that the Allied nations, with the fullest concurrence of our own government and people, are agreed that in Palestine shall be laid the foundation of a Jewish Commonwealth" (March 3, 1919).
President Warren G. Harding expressed support for a Jewish home in Palestine:
"It is impossible for one who has studied at all the service of the Hebrew people to avoid the faith that they will one day be restored to their historic national home and there enter on a new and yet greater phase of their contribution to the advance of humanity." (June 1, 1921).
"I am very glad to express my approval and hearty sympathy for the effort of the Palestine Foundation fund in behalf of the restoration of Palestine as a homeland for the Jewish people. I have always viewed with an interest, which I think is quite as much practical as sentimental, the proposal for the rehabilitation of Palestine and the restoration of a real Jewish nationality, and I hope the efforts now being carried on in this and other countries in this behalf may meet the fullest measure of success." (May 11, 1922).
The Lodge-Fish joint resolution of both Houses of Congress of the United States unanimously endorsed the "establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people," confirming the irrevocable right of Jews to settle in the area of Palestine - anywhere between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea:
"Favoring the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people."
"Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled . That the United States of America favors the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which should prejudice the civil and religious rights of Christian and all other non-Jewish communities in Palestine, and that the holy places and religious buildings and sites in Palestine shall be adequately protected." [italics in the original] (June 30, 1922).
President Warren G. Harding signed the Lodge-Fish joint resolution of approval to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine (September 21, 1922). Writing to the Zionist Organization of America, Harding stated:
"A long-time interest, both sentimental and practical, in the Zionist movement causes me to wish that I might meet the members of the organization and express the esteem which I feel in behalf of the great movement" (June 25, 1922).
President Herbert Hoover stated:
"On the occasion of your celebration of the 15th Anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, which received the unanimous approval of both Houses of Congress by the adoption of the Lodge-Fish Resolution in 1922, I wish to express the hope that the ideal of the establishment of the National Jewish Home in Palestine, as embodied in that Declaration, will continue to prosper for the good of all the people inhabiting the Holy Land" (October 29, 1932).
President Calvin Coolidge ratified the Convention between the United States and Great Britain - a relationship governed by international law.
The U.S. (not a member of the League of Nations) Government maintained that her participation in WWI and her contribution to the defeat of Germany and the defeat of her Allies, entitled the United States to be consulted as to the terms of the "Mandate for Palestine."
The outcome of this request was a Convention [Treaty] between the United States of America and Great Britain with respect to the rights of the two governments and their nationals in Palestine. The Convention which contains the entire text of the "Mandate for Palestine" including the preamble word-for-word was concluded and signed by their respective plenipotentiaries in London on December 3, 1924; Ratification advised by the Senate, February 20, 1925; Ratified by President Calvin Coolidge, March 2, 1925; Ratified by Great Britain, March 18, 1925; Ratifications exchanged at London, December 3, 1925; Proclaimed, December 5, 1925.
The United States of America upon ratifying the said Convention formally recognized the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country.

Q: Firebase Multi Level Database into tableview How do I get data from a child deeper into a database that has an unknown name?
My example structure is below.

This code works (to get the snapshot data) but I am hardcoding the second child. I will not always know this value (Bus 1).
    let ref = FIRDatabase.database().reference()
    let usersRef = ref.child("Trips").child("Bus 1")
    usersRef.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { (snapshot) in

        for snap in snapshot.children {
            let userSnap = snap as! FIRDataSnapshot
            let uid = userSnap.key //the uid of each user
            let userDict = userSnap.value as! [String:AnyObject] //child data
            let personOn = userDict["getOn"] as! String
            print("key = \(uid) is at getOn = \(personOn)")
        }
    })

This will print:
key = Stop 1 is at getOn = 3
key = Stop 2 is at getOn = 7

Should I be structuring this differently? Flatter?
Thanks and let me know of any questions.
This is a more preferable way as I have a class for TripDetails which goes into an array to load into the table. But again, I do not know what the second child's name is.
FIRDatabase.database().reference().child("Trips").child("Bus 1").observe(.childAdded, with: { (snapshot) in

        if let dictionary = snapshot.value as? [String: AnyObject] {
            let trip = TripDetails()

            trip.setValuesForKeys(dictionary)
            self.trips.append(trip)

            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                self.tableView.reloadData()
            }

        }
        print(snapshot)
    }, withCancel: nil)

A: I'm still not super sure what data you want exactly. If all you want is all the data you can just do this.
let ref = FIRDatabase.database().reference().child("Trips")
ref.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { snapshot in
    let enumerator = snapshot.children
    while let bus = enumerator.nextObject() as? FIRDataSnapshot {
        print("\(bus.key)")
        let enumerator = bus.children
        while let stop = enumerator.nextObject() as? FIRDataSnapshot {
            let stopDict = stop.value as? [String: Any]
            let uid = stop.key
            let personOn = stopDict?["getOn"] as? String
            print("key = \(uid) is at getOn = \(personOn)")
        }
    }
})

Over 3400 Belgian scientists signed an open letter in support of the climate protesters. The facts are clear, we need to act now. You can read the letter below.
The people have taken to the streets in large numbers to demand more ambitious climate action from the government. As scientists, and on the basis of scientific facts, we declare: the climate activists are right! It is now essential to have the necessary discussions and take collective action to speed up the transition to a carbon-neutral society.
The Earth is warming. Worldwide the average temperature has already risen approximately 1°C (relative to the average temperature between 1850 and 1900).
Virtually 100% of the measured increase in temperature is attributable to human activities.
Already with the current warming of 'only' 1°C we are being confronted with more frequent and stronger extreme weather such as heat waves, droughts and floods. As the Earth warms, such extremes will become more common. If the warming rises above 2 degrees, the risk of self-reinforcing climate change strongly increases considerably. This can lead to a type of snowball effect in which the climate gets even warmer.
It is crucial to limit further climate change and the establishment of self-reinforcing feedbacks. To limit climate warming to 2 degrees, emissions of carbon dioxide will need to be reduced by approximately 25% by 2030 and by 85% by 2050. To keep warming below 1,5°C it is necessary to reduce net emissions to zero by 2050. In order to achieve this we have to take far-reaching structural measures NOW.
Current policy measures fall far short of what is needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 emissions are still increasing worldwide – so we are not emitting less, but more and more every year. That is the opposite of what needs to be done. Moreover, the proposed policy measures are still miles from what is necessary to drastically reduce emissions, and that applies at local, Belgian, European and global level. With the proposals currently on the table, the world is heading for more than 3°C warming by the end of the century. That may sound small, but the consequences will be enormous.
Action against climate change is much more economically advantageous than not taking action. The cost of inaction is much higher than the investment to reduce emissions significantly. Doing nothing leads to enormous costs, including damage from floods, storms and forest fires. Extreme droughts and the resulting food shortages can trigger social conflicts in many countries and lead to global waves of migration. The transition to an emission-free society, on the other hand, is much more economically advantageous and even creates additional jobs. Moreover, direct subsidies for fossil fuels amount to more than US $500 billion per year worldwide. This amount, or even only part of it, would facilitate the transition to a carbon-neutral society.
Knowledge and technologies to drastically reduce CO2 emissions already exist. It now requires first and foremost the political courage to take the necessary structural measures and to fully commit to the transition to a carbon neutral society. This transition will only be possible if, among other things, the supply of renewable energy is rapidly and strongly expanded, buildings become power stations instead of energy consumers, mobility is reformed, deforestation is prevented here and elsewhere and trees are planted where possible, and if the emissions caused by the enormous global livestock population are also tackled. These investments offer the opportunity for positive changes in many other areas too. Think for example of cleaner air and sufficient food and drinkable water for everyone. Finally, explicit attention to a socially equitable distribution of the costs and benefits of the transition is a necessity to keep an ambitious climate strategy on course. In the event of socially damaging consequences, equitable climate ambitions also require a tightening up of social policy.
It is time for change. And in order to change everything, we need everyone! The required emission reductions can only be achieved if well-considered and effective political measures are taken, accompanied by a change in how we behave – both as individuals and as a global community.

Master Paintings
8 June | New York
Salomon van Ruysdael, Winter landscape with figures skating and sleigh-riding outside a town. Estimate $800,000–$1,200,000.
Ruysdael's winter landscapes are some of his most beautiful and evocative works, and relatively rare in his oeuvre. He painted three in 1627, at the beginning of his career, and would not return to the subject again until after 1650. From the last two decades of his life, about twenty winter landscapes are known, including a number of impressive compositions incorporating townscapes, such as the present work.
View Lot View Auction
Giovanni Antonio Canal, Canaletto, Venice, a view of the equestrian monument to Bartolomeo Colleoni and the church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. Estimate $600,000–$800,000.
Canaletto painted this charming view shortly after his return to Venice following a highly successful sojourn in England. The painting's provenance can be traced back to 1790, identifiable as the "S. Giov. e Paolo – Canaletto," alluded to in correspondence between the renowned Venetian art dealer, Giammaria Sasso and John Strange, a British resident in Venice. Sasso sold this Canaletto view, along with numerous other paintings, to the British aristocrat Sir Abraham Hume for his collection at Ashbridge Park.
Francesco Guardi, Venice, a view of the Piazzetta with the Palazzo Ducale, oil on canvas. Estimate $500,000–$700,000.
Francesco Guardi's View of the Piazzetta looking south with the Palazzo Ducale was first published in 1973 by Antonio Morassi, who dated it between 1755 and 1760. Guardi chose to depict the bustling Piazzetta from the Campanile di San Marco, looking out at the Bacino di San Marco toward the Isola di San Giorgio. From this viewpoint he was able to take in the iconic façade of the Palazzo Ducale while incorporating the southern-most arch of the Basilica di San Marco at left and the columns of San Marco and San Teodoro to the right.
Gaspar van Wittel, called Vanvitelli, Messina, a panoramic view of the city towards the sea from the Colle del Tirone. Estimate $500,000–$700,000.
This splendid and rare view of the Sicilian city of Messina, painted by Vanvitelli between 1710 and 1720, serves as an historical document which maps out the city before the destruction wrought by the earthquakes of 1783 and 1908. Of the seven known views of Messina by Vanvitelli, the present work is the most impressive, both for its quality and in its subtle use of light, as the shade of the foreground makes way to the warm glow of the city and the glistening sea in the distance.
Michele Marieschi, Venice, a view of the Grand Canal with Ca' Pesaro and Palazzo Foscarini-Giovanelli. Estimate $400,000–$600,000.
Unpublished prior to its sale in 2008, when its attribution was endorsed by Ralph Toledano and Dario Succi, this serene depiction of the Grand Canal by Michele Marieschi has since been included in Succi's 2016 monograph on the artist Succi dates the painting to 1738 and attributes the lively figures to the battle-painter Francesco Simonini, with whom Marieschi frequently collaborated. For this painting Marieschi revisited the same view as that formerly in the collection of Henry Howard, 4th Earl of Carlisle, and now in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich.
Melchior d'Hondecoeter, A peacock and pea hen with a crane, chickens and other birds in a landscape. Estimate $300,000–$500,000.
This splendid painting demonstrates Hondecoeter's remarkable skill as a painter of birds, for which he was justly famed in his own time. The popularity of his work endured and in the 19th century he was known as the "Raphael of birds." This work depicts an assortment of exotic birds and fowl in a vast park-like setting.
The composition is dominated by a male peacock whose magnificent tail cascades diagonally down into the foreground. Also included are a pea hen, a black crowned crane, chickens, a waxwing, a pelican and several other species. The compositional format of this painting—with the foreground occupied by an array of meticulously observed birds, a stone wall in the middle ground blocking one side, and the other side opening up to a distant vista —was a favorite of Hondecoeter's.
Sebastiano Ricci, Venus in the Forge of Vulcan, oil on canvas. Estimate $300,000–$500,000.
This impressive large-scale canvas by Sebastiano Ricci is almost certainly identifiable as the painting once belonging to the celebrated architects, Robert and James Adam. The painting was first published in 2006 by Annalisa Scarpa who believed it to depict Thetis in the Forge of Vulcan, an episode from Homer's Iliad in which the goddess requests armor for her son, Achilles, for his battle against the Trojan hero, Hector. The prominence of Cupid in the dynamic composition, however, suggests it is more likely to represent "Venus going to Vulcan for the Arms of Aeneas," as it is listed in the 1765 catalogue of the Adam property.
Govert Flinck, 'Tronie' of an old man, possibly a Jewish scholar, oil on panel. Estimate $250,000–$350,000.
Govert Flinck was a pupil of Rembrandt from 1633 until 1636, when he set up as an independent master and his first dated works appear, although he probably continued to work for Rembrandt's father-in-law Hendrick Uylenburgh for another eight years. Like many of Rembrandt's best pupils from his early Amsterdam phase such as Ferdinand Bol and Jacob Backer, Flinck evolved a style that is distinctive and personal, but until at least the end of the 1640s remains palpably Rembrandtesque.
Joos De Momper and Jan Breughel The Younger, Mountain Landscape with Woodcutters. Estimate $200,000–$300,000.
Joos de Momper was famed for his depiction of mountain landscapes, drawing on the tradition of the panoramic "world landscapes" developed by such earlier painters as Joachim Patinir and Herri Met de Bles. He was so closely associated with this type of landscape that he was given the moniker "pictor montium" (painter of mountains) on his portrait in the Iconography, a series of portrait prints based on designs by Anthony van Dyck. This beautiful example has been dated by Klaus Ertz to De Momper's mature period, in the early 1620s.
Jacob van Hulsdonck, An elaborate basket of flowers and a tazza with grapes, on a table top. Estimate $200,00–$300,000.
This beautiful still life by Jacob van Hulsdonck is unique in the artist's oeuvre. Known for his fruit still lifes, sometimes paired with a small vase of flowers, his lavish food displays, and his rare pure floral still lifes, this is the only known composition by him depicting a basket of flowers as the central motif, here combined with a tazza of grapes.

The rough beauty and the stunning street art in Vilnius are mesmerizing. The old, dilapidated buildings are whispering their incredible story. How they once were glorious homes for happy families. How they once had roses blooming on their balconies, how the rooms once were filled with the smell of fresh, oven-baked bread. It was years ago when they were left empty, and today they are homes only for mice, rats and long abandoned scrap.
I keep walking along the narrow streets of the old town of Vilnius. A little boy jostles me a bit while speeding past with his skateboard. I find myself standing in the middle of a cobblestoned street, staring at a tiny window with crooked frames, but with a shimmering light inside. An old couple is sitting next to a kitchen table and talking. The man gives me a grumpy glance, and I understand, I need to keep walking.
The magnificent buildings standing tall with their fancy marble pillars and the numerous beautiful churches with their towers reaching the stars are balancing out the rough street view of the city.
The endearing Vilnius is like a free open-air museum where every step brings you more and more fascinating things to admire. It's a city shaped art gallery, where even the tiniest little piece is an irreplaceable artwork of its own.
You just have to remember to keep your eyes and mind wide open while walking.
The street gallery Literatų was inspired by a poet where a group of young men are spending their time, drinking and smoking, along the street with the same name. The street with its artwork is dedicated to the writers of Vilnius, and the drawings, paintings, sculptures and other pieces of art decorating the walls are created by local artists.
Graffiti is decorating the city everywhere you look, but the creative street art has many beautiful faces in the capital of Lithuania. The most sympathetic oeuvre in the autumnal street view of Vilnius are the trees with knitted clothing.
Street art seems to be well respected in Vilnius, and there are places where it's allowed, even encouraged to paint graffiti. There is a yearly street art festival, Vilnius Street Art. And if modern street art is really speaking to you, I would suggest paying a visit on 'The Road of Freedom'.
You can find it anywhere in the city, but the real cradle of the bohemian street art and artists is the district of Užupis that has declared independence and is now called The Republic of Užupis.
Jono Meko skersvėjis a.k.a. 'Jonas Mekas Crosswinds', a graffiti alley in Užupis.
I would recommend you to step out of the main street on the little paths, as along them you can find more beautiful graffitis. You can find them also under the bridges, the embankments of the river – anywhere you look.
Graffiti is spread all over the city, also outside the district of Užupis. Many old ramshackle buildings along parks, squares and construction sites are reborn thanks to creative and colourful street art.
Is street art in Vilnius speaking to you and if so, what is it saying? What kind of feelings and thoughts does it awaken in you? The comment section below is open for discussion!

Claude Ciccotelli completed his apprenticeship at the Moorooka Chrysler Dealership from 1968 to 1972 and saw the introduction of the Charger and Pacer Models, for which he still has a soft spot. Upon completing his apprenticeship he was hired by Shell Walton Bridge at The Gap in 1972 and ran the workshop and trained apprentices there for over 13 years during which time he was also married and fathered three children, Christopher, David and Lauren.
Claude was always a keen motorsport enthusiast. During his teen's and early twenties Claude owned many cars and motorcycles, of which if he had have kept to this day would have made a collectors dream.
He experimented with motorcycle club racing with his triumph's but eventually moved onto professional Karting with his brother Leo which resulted in a long career and many wins including being the Queensland, New South Wales and Australian National Champion in his Honda Powered 125CC Karts.
In 1985 he and his brother Leo bought the lease on their first business, BP Kenmore, a service station and workshop on Moggill Road. They operated this successfully, winning our first business achiever award during this time, until in 1999 the site was closed for redevelopment. It is now a local retail centre on the corner of Moggill Rd and Almay Street Kenmore
January 2000 saw the opening of Bellbowrie Mechanical, leased on the BP Bellbowrie site. By this time, Claude had given up Karting due to lack of time, but had been slowly restoring his beloved EH Holden into a very neat streeter with all the go fast bits. Soon after it was on the road he got the racing bug again, and had joined the Historic Racing Series for a "a bit of fun".
Both Bellbowrie Mechanical and Claude's racing went from strength to strength, and we won our second business achiever award in 2006, thanks to the wonderful support of our Bellbowrie customers. Claude is still heavily involved in racing Historic Group Nb and has competed both locally and interstate, receiving the cup for Historic Touring Car Championship in 2007, and is the current record holder for his class at both Queensland Raceway and Morgan Park, Warwick and is working on Lakeside!
Son David, long wanting to be a mechanic, and having completed Primary at St.Josephs Corinda and Secondary at St. Laurences College, joined the business in January 2001, and has long since qualified and is a vital part of the team. David is a great mechanic, clever and meticulous, always willing to be of assistance. He, like Claude is also very keen on racing & motorsport and has become heavily involved in motorcycle racing on his Honda CBR track bike. He has riden at Queensland Raceway, Morgan Park & Phillip Island to mention a few. He also enjoys modifying his VK Holden which now sports a truck sized turbocharger, all fast cars and beach volleyball, playing several times a week and weekend competitions.
Son Christopher, after completing Secondary at Corinda State High, studied advertising, multimedia and graphic design, and worked part time as a freelance graphic designer. Chris joined the team to help with the customer service side of the business as we got busier and took over responsibility for this section introducing computer record keeping and invoicing, taking care of accounts and quotes and bookings. He takes care of our customers at the front line, and is also responsible for the art work and form on our promotional material. Chris is also a keen car and motorcycle enthusiast entering his modified Holden VQ Statesman into drag race events at Willowbank and PowerCruise and his Honda CBR into track events with his brother David from time to time. Having enjoyed Rugby Leauge and Baseball as a youth he now enjoys Touch football several times a week and partakes in weekend tournaments around Brisbane.
