Q: jQuery "growl-like" effect in VB.net Hey all, i have made a simple form that mimiks the jQuery "GROWL" effect seen here http://www.sandbox.timbenniks.com/projects/jquery-notice/
However, i have ran into a problem. If i have more than one call to the form to display a "Growl" then it just refreshes the same form with whatever call i send it. In other words, i can only display one form at a time instead of having one drop down and a new one appear above it.
Here is my simple form code for the "GROWL" form:
Public Class msgWindow
Public howLong As Integer
Public theType As String
Private loading As Boolean

Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal pe As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
    Dim pn As New Pen(Color.DarkGreen)

    If theType = "OK" Then
        pn.Color = Color.DarkGreen
    ElseIf theType = "ERR" Then
        pn.Color = Color.DarkRed
    Else
        pn.Color = Color.DarkOrange
    End If

    pn.Width = 2
    pe.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pn, 0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height)
    pn = Nothing
End Sub

Public Sub showMessageBox(ByVal typeOfBox As String, ByVal theMessage As String)
    Me.Opacity = 0
    Me.Show()
    Me.SetDesktopLocation(My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Width - 350, 15)

    Me.loading = True
    theType = typeOfBox
    lblSaying.Text = theMessage

    If typeOfBox = "OK" Then
        Me.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(192, 255, 192)
    ElseIf typeOfBox = "ERR" Then
        Me.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 192, 192)
    Else
        Me.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 192)
    End If

    If Len(theMessage) <= 30 Then
        howLong = 4000
    ElseIf Len(theMessage) >= 31 And Len(theMessage) <= 80 Then
        howLong = 7000
    ElseIf Len(theMessage) >= 81 And Len(theMessage) <= 100 Then
        howLong = 12000
    Else
        howLong = 17000
    End If

    Me.opacityTimer.Start()
End Sub

Private Sub opacityTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles opacityTimer.Tick
    If Me.loading Then
        Me.Opacity += 0.07

        If Me.Opacity >= 0.8 Then
            Me.opacityTimer.Stop()
            Me.opacityTimer.Dispose()
            Pause(howLong)
            Me.loading = False
            Me.opacityTimer.Start()
        End If
    Else
        Me.Opacity -= 0.08

        If Me.Opacity <= 0 Then
            Me.opacityTimer.Stop()
            Me.Close()
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Public Sub Pause(ByVal Milliseconds As Integer)
    Dim dTimer As Date

    dTimer = Now.AddMilliseconds(Milliseconds)

    Do While dTimer > Now
        Application.DoEvents()
    Loop
End Sub
End Class

I call the form by this simple call:
Call msgWindow.showMessageBox("OK", "Finished searching images.")

Does anyone know a way where i can have the same setup but would allow me to add any number of forms without refreshing the same form over and over again?
Like always, any help would be great! :)
David

A: This is one way of doing it, although there are probably better ways of managing it than this.
Public Class Growl

Private _notifications As New Dictionary(Of Integer, msgWindow)
Private _count As Integer = 0

Public Sub Remove(ByVal Sender As msgWindow, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    _notifications.Remove(CInt(Val(Sender.Name.Substring(1))))
    RefreshPositions()
End Sub

Private Sub RefreshPositions()
    Dim _top As Integer = 15
    For a As Integer = 0 To _count
        If _notifications.ContainsKey(a) Then
            _notifications.Item(a).Top = _top
            _top += _notifications.Item(a).Height + 20
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Public Sub ShowMessageBox(ByVal typeOfNotification As String, ByVal msg As String)
    Dim x As New msgWindow
    x.Name = "m" & _count
    AddHandler x.FormClosed, AddressOf Remove
    _notifications(_count) = x
    _count += 1
    x.showMessageBox(typeOfNotification, msg)
    RefreshPositions()
End Sub

End Class

In your code, declare:
Dim g as New Growl

and call
g.showMessageBox( ... , ... )

instead of
msgWindow.showMessageBox( ... , ... )

Hope this helps.

60% of hiring managers for SMEs have offered a candidate a role in the last two years that was later declined, and a third (34%) of UK workers have changed their mind in the last two years after accepting a job offer, choosing not to go ahead with the new role.
Research from Office Angels, analysing the effectiveness of recruitment processes in a booming post-recession economy, found that nearly half (48%) of workers have received multiple job offers at the same time in the last 24 months. At the point of resignation, a similar number (50%) received a counter offer from their existing employer.
Office Angels has observed these trends in the current jobs market – whilst a growing economy has resulted in more job vacancies, increased demand for talent has led to many industries becoming 'candidate-short'. The agency reported that the impact is that hiring managers have to act fast if they are to secure top talent ahead of their competitors.

Follow the Footsteps of Sherlock Holmes – Reichenbach Falls and Sherlock Holmes Museum
For a really long time, I was fascinated by art including painting, sculpture, architecture and monuments so I traveled to Italy a lot. Recently, inspired by my friend who wanted to explore the area around the municipality of Meiringen, I decided to come back to nature. If you want to admire the genius of mankind, few countries are better choices than Italy but if you want to be amazed by nature, in particular mountains and lakes, Switzerland is certainly among the top destinations. As I mentioned in my post about the World Nature Forum Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch Exhibition, a total surface of 824 square kilometers of the Alps is inscribed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage site and is now managed and protected by 23 municipalities in the cantons of Valais (15) and Bern (8). In this post, I'll recommend you a site which is not only a natural beauty but also closely associated with popular literature – the Reichenbach Falls. It is here that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective, Sherlock Holmes, fights to the death with Professor Moriarty, at the end of "The Final Problem", first published in 1893. If you are a Sherlock Holmes fan, don't forget to visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum in Meiringen, which was opened on 4th May 1991 (100th anniversary of the death of Sherlock Holmes) in the presence of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London and Dame Jean Conan Doyle, the second daughter of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and exhibits authentic objects belonging to Sir Conan Doyle, from the Victorian era and related to the detective fiction – "Stories of Sherlock Holmes".
Though not the first fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes is certainly one of the best knowns, with Guinness World Records listing him as the "most portrayed movie character" in history. When I was around the falls and in the museum, the introductions almost convinced me that Mr. Holmes wasn't a fictional character but a real individual. In fact, his huge popularity and fame made many people believe that he actually existed. Widely considered as a British cultural icon, the character and stories have had profound and lasting influence on popular culture, with the original tales as well as thousands inspired by them adapted into stage plays, TV series, films and video games over the last century.
As you can see from the pictures above, I included three attractions in my one-day trip and the starting point is the town called Meiringen, which is easily accessible by train. From Meiringen train station, where you can walk to the Sherlock Holmes Museum in 5 minutes, there is an urban train called "Meiringen-Innertkirchen-Bahn" running between Meiringen and Innertkirchen and stops at Alpbach, where you can walk to the Reichenbachfallbahn (Reichenbach Falls funicular train station), Aareschlucht West, the west entrance to Aare Gorge, and Aareschlucht Ost, the east entrance to Aare Gorge.
My itinerary was (1) Meiringen -> (train) Aareschlucht West -> (walk through and visit the Aare Gorge) Aareschlucht Ost -> (train) Alpbach -> (walk) Reichenbachfallbahn -> (funicular train) Reichenbach Falls -> (funicular train) Reichenbachfallbahn -> (walk) Alpbach -> (train) Meiringen -> (walk) Sherlock Holmes Museum.
The reason why I chose to visit the gorge first is that considering it's a narrow valley between steep rocky walls, the sun won't shine on it completely, not even at midday. If you like photography and want to take nice photos, it's a bad situation if half of the cliff is in the sun while the other half is in the shadow. Therefore, I recommend you visiting it either early in the morning or late in the afternoon or even on a cloudy day because the lighting will be more balanced.
The reason why I chose to visit the museum last is that it only opens from 13:30.
In this post, I'll focus on the Reichenbach Falls and Sherlock Holmes Museum and as for Aare Gorge, I'll dedicated a separate post to it.
1. Reichenbach Falls
After getting off at the train stop Alpbach, I walked for around 8 minutes to reach the funicular station. Because there was no clear sign indicating the general direction of the falls, some old couples who probably didn't have Google Map etc. asked me where to go. My advice is upon your arrival at Alpbach, walk south-west (you need to cross the Aare river) and when you see the fall as you can see in the 1st picture above, just go towards it. One interesting thing was that there were not many tourists although it was a sunny Saturday, but many of them were British, which I could tell from their accent. I guess they were big fans of Sherlock Holmes and wanted to follow the footsteps of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his hero. Now, I'll give you some practical information and tips so that you can have a successful and smooth visit.

once you are at the top funicular station, you have the best view of the 120 m-high Grand Reichenbach Fall, the biggest and highest of the Reichenbach Falls, which drop over a total change of altitude of about 250 meters. Next to the big fall, you should be able to spot a white star, which indicates the site of fight between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty;
you can hike to the white star, which takes about half an hour, but remember to wear comfortable hiking shoes because certain sections of the trail are not very convenient to walk on;
if you want to have some meals or stay overnight, Gasthaus Zwirgi is located on the trail connecting the top funicular station and the white star;
if you love hiking, it's possible to hike directly from Meiringen to the falls and back, which takes around 2.5 hours but I recommend taking the funicular train at least one way because it felt cool to travel in a nostalgic wooden wagon, which is an exact replica of the original wagon used for work purposes since 1899;
the train runs rather frequently but just to kill time, you can familiarize yourself (again) with the story of "The Final Problem" by reading the info boards at the lower station.
The Reichenbach Falls are a waterfall cascade of seven steps on the creek called Rychenbach in the Bernese Oberland region and the largest of them is the Grand Reichenbach Fall, one of the highest falls in the Alps and in Switzerland. In my opinion, the best viewpoint to admire the magnificence of the Grand Fall as a whole is the upper funicular station. Curiously, the rock with a hole in the middle divides the main stream into two branches, which then splash on the stone at the bottom. Compared to Niagara Falls between the USA and Canada and Iguaçu Falls between Brazil and Argentina, this fall is certainly much smaller but more elegant. Instead of roaring down like a monster, it jumps like a fairy, lightly and lively without any violence. Because the fall is facing north-west and surrounded by two huge pieces of rock, the sun doesn't really shine on it, not even at midday, which makes it a problem for photography lovers. In this regard, the fall, similar to Aare Gorge, is an ideal destination for photographers even on a cloudy day. Now, let's embark on the trail and hike to the place where Holmes and Moriarty fight and fall into the fall. There are several viewpoints on the way and following the sound of water, you will see some smaller Reichenbach Falls which will contribute to the Grand one later.
the first observation deck seen from the white star
From the upper funicular station to the first observation deck, where you have an amazing view of the Hasli Valley, the road is rather well-paved and you can manage it with simple sports shoes. Along the way, there are several benches where you can sit and take a rest while feeling the nature closely. As you can see from the 3rd and 4th pictures above, the Aare river is like a belt made of jade dividing Meiringen and Schattenhalb. Its milky and cyan (greenish-blue) water, though not as clear as crystal, is so charming and always fascinates me. When I introduce to you Aare Gorge in another post, you will see how it makes its way through the narrow valley with steep rocky walls. Also from this observation deck, you can see clearly the upper part of the Grand Reichenbach Fall and one of the two branches of the lower part.
From the second platform, you won't see much of the fall but the mist it causes when hitting the rocks on its way down. The depth shown in the picture doesn't seem much because I zoomed in a lot to have a better view of the bottom but if you stand there and look down, you will feel the thrill and get an idea of how deep it falls.
By crossing a bridge, which is located at the top of the Grand Fall, you will cross the Reichenbach Falls and from here, you can see some smaller falls. Because the bridge was built a bit far from the edge of the rocks, we can't look down and see the Grand Fall from top to bottom. However, what we can see is how the water flows its way through the rocks and prepares for its biggest adventure of jumping 120 meters. As far as I know, it's possible to reach the rocks and get really close to the water, but there was a sign saying that the flow could increase suddenly, which poses potential threat to the adventurers. I don't recommend going off-trail because trust me, you don't want to jump 120 meters with the water and end up like Moriarty.
After walking another 5 mins, you will be in front of Gasthaus Zwirgi, where you can have a cup of coffee and some desserts or a normal meal. If you think the previous hiking is just a piece of cake and don't need to take a rest, please follow the sign which says "Sherlock Holmes Fussweg (Footpath)" and continue the adventure.
On the second half of the trail, I strongly recommend you wearing comfortable hiking shoes because I remember there was one section which was really rocky and another one which was rather slippery (as you can see in the 4th picture above). Except for those two sections, the rest of the trail is comparatively flat and easy to walk on. I guess you can manage the second half with simple sports shoes as well but most likely your feet will hurt and you will have sore legs the next day. Please note, when you see the signpost as shown in the 2nd picture above, walk in the direction of "Reichenbachfall Schwendi", and when you hear the waterfall again, you know you are close to the white start already.
Before introducing to you this must-visit spot for all Sherlock Holmes fans, let's first review Holmes and Watson's journey in Switzerland in "The Final Problem". The narrative is mostly based on the information on the info boards next to Sherlock Holmes Museum. In 1891, after spending months gathering evidence, Sherlock Holmes is about to close the case of the criminal mastermind, Professor James Moriarty. However, threats and attacks make Holmes and Watson leave London. They travel by train from London Victoria Station to Newhaven and then take a steamer to France. Continuing by train, they arrive in Geneva. In Switzerland, they spend a week hiking up the Rhône Valley and then progress to Meiringen through the Gemmi Pass and Interlaken. On the Gemmi Pass, a large rock mysteriously crashes down while they are walking on the trail next to Daubensee and Holmes believes they are being followed by Moriarty's men. Fortunately, they escape. They arrive in Meiringen on 3rd May 1891 and stay at the "Englischer Hof", today known as the Park Hotel du Sauvage. The next day, as suggested by the hotelkeeper, they decide to take a detour to the Reichenbach Falls on their way to Rosenlaui. On 4th May, Holmes and Watson climb the path to the falls and when they are close, a boy runs up and tells the doctor that a sick English lady who has just arrived needs help. Watson hurries back and that's the last time he sees Holmes. Upon his return, he realizes that he has been tricked because there's no sick lady and when he goes back to the falls, he finds neither Holmes nor Moriarty but the detective's cigarette case, alpenstock and a farewell note. Three years later, in 1894 in London, an old book-seller reveals himself as Sherlock Holmes and explains that only Moriarty died in the struggle at the Reichenbach Falls while he survived. Since then, he traveled in Tibet and Arabia, studied in France and waited for the right moment to return home. After resuming their old business on 221B Baker Street, the old friends solved many more cases until Sherlock Holmes decides to retire and keep bees in Sussex, England. It is said that his interest in nature developed during his stay in Switzerland.
From the ledge, you will see a plaque and a wreath in remembrance of the great detective and in the museum, you will see his cigarette case, farewell note, alpenstock, curved tobacco pipe, magnifying glass and deerstalker hat. All of them gave me the illusion that Sherlock Holmes was a real individual instead of a fictional character. I guess that's why many people say that he's a man who never lived but is much more remembered than most of the people who did. I read from the internet that in the past, probably around a century ago, visitors could touch the water of the fall as the ledge was much closer and the fall itself was much wider. Due to erosion of the rocks and contraction of the fall, nowadays, we can't really get close to it anymore. The plaque commemorates that "At this fearful place, Sherlock Holmes vanquished Professor Moriarty, on 4th May 1891." and on the ribbons hanging under the wreath, a dialogue between the detective and his arch-enemy in "The Final Problem" is chosen and it reads:
Moriarty: "You hope to beat me. I tell you that you will never beat me. If you are clever enough to bring destruction upon me, rest assured that I shall do as much to you."
Holmes: "You have paid me several compliments, Mr. Moriarty. Let me pay you one in return when I say that if I were assured of the former eventuality I would, in the interests of the public, cheerfully accept the latter."
From here, you can hike for 1.5 hours to reach the lower funicular station, which is 15 mins away by foot from the Sherlock Holmes Museum, or return to the upper station and take the funicular to go down. From the lower station I suggest you walk to the museum directly or walk 7 mins to Alpbach train station and then take the train to Meiringen train station, which is 3 mins away by foot from the museum.
2. Sherlock Holmes Museum
The Sherlock Holmes Museum in Meiringen was opened on 4th May 1991 (100th anniversary of the death of Sherlock Holmes) in the presence of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London and Dame Jean Conan Doyle, the second daughter of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and exhibits authentic objects belonging to Sir Conan Doyle, from the Victorian era and related to the detective fiction – "Stories of Sherlock Holmes". Its absolute highlight is the living room of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson on 221B Baker Street, London, which is carefully arranged according to the clues that can be found in the stories. To be honest, this is probably the smallest museum I've ever been to and yet one of the most concentrated, making full use of the limited space. As you can see from the 1st picture above, the museum is located in the English church, which was built for the British who were having holidays in Meiringen. Next to it, we see the Park Hotel du Sauvage, which is mentioned as the "Englischer Hof" by Conan Doyle in his "The Final Problem". First I'll give you some practical information and tips and then I'll introduce to you some items exhibited in the museum which I found interesting and impressive.

For information about discounted admission fees for groups or special opening hours for holidays please click here and click "Opening hours, prices".
included in the entrance fee is the rental of audio guide, which is available in German, French, Italian, English, Chinese, Dutch, Japanese, Spanish and Russian and lasts around half an hour;
the combined ticket is only available when the Reichenbachbahn is in operation;
tickets can only be paid in cash;
the museum is very small so sometimes it can be crowded, but don't worry, up to 20 people are allowed inside the museum at one time.
Before entering the museum, let's first take a look at the statue of Sherlock Holmes in contemplative mood, which was completed by John Doubleday in 1988 and portrays the great detective a few hours before his final and fatal encounter with the Napoleon of Crime – Professor James Moriarty at the Grand Reichenbach Fall. On the statue and the plaque next to it are sculpted clues, most of which are symbols. With keen observation, it is said that one can compile a complete list of all the sixty Sherlock Holmes stories. How many can you recognize? I guess even for huge fans of the detective fiction, this is a big challenge. From the statue to the museum, a path is surrounded by info boards (as you can see in the 3rd picture above) which narrate briefly "The Final Problem", the "resurrection" of the detective and his retirement.
In total, there are 5 audio guide points in the museum and the first one is in the church, where you can take a seat and listen to the story of "The Final Problem". In the middle, a few info panels introduce the adventures of Sir Conan Doyle and his hero in Switzerland and walking around, you will see a few display cases in which letters from Conan Doyle addressed to various people and a travel card by Julian Wolff showing the trip of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in Europe are exhibited.
Now, let's go back to the entrance hall, where the ticket desk is located, and stop at the staircase leading to the basement.
Now you understand why I said that the museum was highly concentrated. By going down a few steps, you can start listening to audio guide No.2. This section is mainly attributed to the life and career of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (I was surprised when I learnt that he was born in Edinburgh, where I studied for two years), where you can see his first manuscript; 5 stamps featuring Sherlock Holmes issued by the British Post Office in 1993; a sketch called "The Old Horse" by Conan Doyle himself depicting his lifework. It's interesting to see how he rates "Sherlock Holmes" in comparison to his other achievements; an etching showing the Stonyhurst College in 1882, where Sir Conan Doyle was educated and met his schoolfellows who were called Sherlock and Moriarty and so on.
Now, let's go to the basement. Before entering the space with four display cases, you should see the famous illustration by Sidney Paget showing the struggle between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty at the Grand Reichenbach Fall, originally published in The Strand Magazine in 1893. In the doorway, the original certificate of re-affirmation of honorary citizenship conferred on Mr. Holmes by the Community of Meiringen on 8th May 1987 (the detective's 100th birthday) is displayed.
Besides the four display cases, in this room, a map and a drawing on the wall are also interesting. The map of Switzerland shows the route followed by Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in 1891 from Geneva to the Reichenbach Falls and the architectural drawing was made by the architects John and Sylvia Reid particularly for the museum. Based on the textural references and their thorough research, they not only reconstructed the famous living room, which we will see later, but also recovered the plan of the entire building, which was built in 1760.
In the same room, four display cases exhibit objects of the Victorian era and related to the stories of Sherlock Holmes. For example, you can see:
uniforms of the City of London Police in the 1890s and of Kantonspolizei Zürich in around 1912;
Sherlock Holmes' silver cigarette case, note to Dr. Watson written on three sheets torn from a notebook, and alpenstock, which rests on a stone brought from the Reichenbach Falls;
Sherlock Holmes' three hats: the deerstalker hat, which is the most famous but never mentioned in the stories and only shown on eight occasions in the original illustrations; the black silk top hat, which is worn by Holmes in nine of the stories; and the homburg hat, which is worn by Holmes in no less than 22 occasions (the statistics were collected and analyzed by Mr. D Martin Dakin);
many objects related to Dr. Watson as a sportsman and his service in the British army;
a bust of Sherlock Holmes which was modeled in wax by John Doubleday and conforms to the characteristics described in "The Adventure of the Empty House";
the magnifying glass and calabash pipe, which together with the deerstalker hat are traditional symbols of Holmes;
contemporary Sherlock Holmes correspondences. In 1932, the Abbey National Building Society moved into new headquarters (Abbey House, 219–229 Baker Street, London), which it occupied until 2002, and for many years it employed a secretary charged with answering mails sent to Holmes at that address.
stamps featuring Sherlock Holmes issued by the British Post Office and stamps featuring the Reichenbach Falls issued by the Swiss Post Office and so on.
Behind the wall, you will find the highlight of the museum, that is to say, the carefully arranged living room of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
This is a rather small space but you can sit on a bench comfortably while observing the living room and listening to audio guide No.5. This is the first time that an authentic recreation of Holmes and Dr. Watson's living room has been made and its size, proportion and architectural elements are in accordance with the details written by Sir Conan Doyle in his stories. Even the furnishings are genuine pieces from the Victorian era such as the oil lamps, which the detective and the doctor preferred to gaslight, the gas-burning chandelier hanging from the center of the ceiling, the wallpaper, etc. If you look at the room from the big opening, you will be standing in the doorway with a double door which is normally closed and separates the living room from Holmes' bedroom. If you look at the room from the small opening, you will be standing on the landing of the first floor.
The room freezes a sunny afternoon in London around 1895 and is featured with its usual untidiness and Holmes and Watson'd recent departure, which can be seen from the discarded violin and "The Times" newspaper dropped carelessly on the chair. As described by Conan Doyle in "A Study in Scarlet", this is a "large airy sitting room cheerfully furnished and illuminated by two broad windows". To the left of the fireplace, we see an 18th-century bureau bookcase on which Dr. Watson sits and writes the stories while to the right (of the fireplace) stands Holmes' cheap washstand with the chemical corner. On the shelf above it, we see Holmes' commonplace books, in which he keeps his newspaper cuttings and case notes. On the fireplace are photographs of the famous Irene Adler and Watson's late wife Mary Morstan and on its hearth lies the slightly bent poker from "The Adventure of the Speckled Band". In front of the hearth is the bearskin hearthrug on which Dr. Thorneycroft Huxtable dramatically collapsed in "The Adventure of the Priory School". If you are a Holmes enthusiast, I'm sure you'll find many objects familiar in the room. If not, which I think is very unlikely, just admire the room as an excellent example of a middle-class residence in London during the high Victorian period.
After visiting the fall where Sherlock fights and falls with his archenemy – James Moriarty and seeing the certificate of his honorary citizenship of Meiringen, his footsteps in Switzerland and in Europe, his personal belongings such as the calabash pipe, magnifying glass, alpenstock, hats, cigarette case, etc., and his living room shared with Dr. Watson on 221B Baker Street, London, do you believe he is just a fictional character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? It's the truth but one that is certainly hard to believe. No wonder lots of people say that he's a man who never lived but more real than many who did. Also included in my trip of the same day was the Aare Gorge, and if you are interested in geology or simply the beauty of magnificent cliffs and cyan streams, you can read about it in another post.

Police, partners in Milwaukee introduce cameras along Villard Avenue to cut crime
Police and city officials have partnered to introduce new high-tech cameras to reduce crime. According to police, the system led to a break as police searched for Major Harris.
By: Bruce Harrison
MILWAUKEE — Alderman Ashanti Hamilton has been letting residents around Villard Avenue know that their neighborhood has a new set of eyes.
"These cameras can zoom down both intersections. So they can see both ways at the cross. They can also read license plates," said Hamilton, standing at the corner of 35th and Villard.
Ashanti Hamilton
That feature — reading plates — of the four new cameras helped police in their search for Major Harris, a three-year-old who was found dead not far from 35th and Rohr.
According to police, the cameras identified the license plate of the SUV of the missing boy's mother, Mallery Muezenberger. Muezenberger was found shot to death in a Milwaukee home on Oct. 14. Her car was later picked up by the new cameras near Sherman and Villard, say police, leading them to focus their search for Harris in that area, where his body was eventually discovered.
Milwaukee Police say they have made arrests in the death of Muezenberger, and the medical examiner has ruled her son's death a homicide.
While police were unable to find the little boy alive, their hope is to prevent further crime with the new cameras, which give police a real-time look at Villard and streets intersecting it from Sherman to Teutonia.
"By and large the neighbors were advocating for these, and in some cases, in the town hall we had yesterday, they were demanding an expansion," said Hamilton.
Villard Avenue Business Improvement District partnered with Alderman Hamilton and police to purchase and install the cameras at a cost of roughly $350,000.
The cameras link directly to police, so they can monitor crime in real-time, including, among other crimes, reckless driving and vehicle theft.
"From Villard to Fairmont, it's like a Nascar track. It's like nonstop," said Damien Woods, who lives above the Tomato Patch bar on 35th.
The stretch of Villard now monitored falls in Police District Four, which has seen a spike, year-to-date compared to 2020, in both theft-larceny and vehicle theft.
Residents, like Woods, hope the new cameras augment private security systems at local businesses, to deter would-be criminals in the area.
The cameras are part of a pilot program that's been operating for a month. The Villard Avenue Business District will soon be posting signs around the neighborhood to promote what they're calling 'Operation Green Light.'

Aurora drops battle against court ruling on…
Aurora drops battle against court ruling on Gaylord Rockies tax
Gaylord Entertainment (NYSE: GET) announced today its plans to develop a resort and convention hotel in Aurora, Colo. Located less than ten minutes from Denver International Airport, one of the most well-traveled and accessible airports in the world, and 25 minutes from downtown Denver, Aurora is ideally situated for both business and leisure travelers. The Aurora site will be located on 85 acres in LNR Property CPI Fund's High Point Master Plan Development, and will feature breathtaking panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. The company expects the resort to be open for business in mid-to-late 2015. According to Gaylord's research of major meetings markets, the Denver metropolitan market was rated a top ten destination by meeting planners and is one of the highest growth areas in the country.
By Aldo Svaldi | asvaldi@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: August 18, 2015 at 12:12 pm | UPDATED: April 22, 2016 at 4:37 am
Aurora's mayor said Tuesday that the Gaylord Rockies Hotel will move forward as planned, despite the city's decision to drop its appeal of a district court ruling that invalidated an election to boost the tax incentives available for the project.
"We see no need to expend unnecessary resources and energy to prolong litigation," Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan said in a statement.
"Our time and resources are better served to build the hotel that we have promised."
Addressing reports that the court ruling could put the project's financing at risk, Hogan said the 1,500-room hotel and conference center will still built within the scope proposed by RIDA Development.
"RIDA Development is responsible for securing the financing for the project," he said. "Dismissing the litigation will assist with the financing and the project proceeding as announced."
Hogan added that there is no need to take the issue to a citywide vote.
Adams County District Judge Ted C. Tow III ruled in February that an election to increase the admissions and lodging taxes within the parcel south of Denver International Airport where the Gaylord is planned violated the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, or TABOR.
In that election, a single Denver resident representing property owner LNR CPI High Point LLC voted to increase the lodging tax 2 percentage points in the district and the admission tax 6.35 percentage points.
Tow said LNR CPI at most would collect the taxes, not pay them, and ruled the election, as held, was invalid.
Sean Duffy, who represents a group of downtown Denver hotel companies trying to block the Gaylord project, estimates Aurora's decision not to appeal could put $121 million in local incentives at risk.
But that estimate appears to include the admissions tax linked to the relocation of the National Western Stock Show complex, which is no longer part of the project.
Aurora still can collect the 8 percent lodging tax it collects elsewhere in the city, but shaving the 2 percentage points requested for Gaylord would reduce the future tax revenue available by $53.6 million over 30 years.
Aurora broke ground on the hotel in April, and waiting for an appeal could have kept the $824 million project in limbo for several more months.
"It was a total and utter shock," said Mark Grueskin, the attorney representing the plaintiffs who sued to overturn the tax election. "The city fought our claim tooth and nail during the court proceedings."
Grueskin said he was confident the original ruling would have stood up on appeal. He added he had wanted the Colorado Supreme Court to set a statewide precedent against local governments raising taxes in very narrow elections as Aurora did.

Q: WooCommerce:how to get data from a link In my woocommerce store all the products are in an iframe. Click the add to cart button the product is added using this link
http://samelink/%D1%81art/?add-to-cart=24&quantity=1&file=1586786694

I need to get the file name (file=1586786694)from the link while transferring the product to the cart and save it as a variable.I found that the goods are transferred to the basket using woocommerce_add_to_cart_redirect.
Help solve the problem

A: Try to use the following, that should save the "file" value as custom cart item data:
// Add "file" value as custom cart item data
add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_cart_item_data', 'filter_add_cart_item_data_callback', 10, 3 );
function filter_add_cart_item_data_callback( $cart_item_data, $product_id, $variation_id ) {
    if ( isset( $_REQUEST['file'] ) ) {
        $cart_item_data['file']       = wc_clean( $_REQUEST['file'] );
        $cart_item_data['unique_key'] = md5( microtime().rand() ); // Make each item unique
    }
    return $cart_item_data;
}

Then you will be able to get it from cart item using $cart_item['file']…
The following code will display you "file" value in cart items (Just for check):
// Display "file" value custom cart item data
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_item_data', 'filter_get_item_data_callback', 10, 2 );
function filter_get_item_data_callback( $cart_item_data, $cart_item ) {
    if ( isset( $cart_item['service'] ) ) {

        if ( isset( $cart_item['file'] ) && $file = $cart_item['file'] ) {
            $cart_item_data[] = array(
                'key'     => __("File"),
                'value'   => $file,
            );
        }
    }

    return $cart_item_data;
}

Code goes in functions.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). It should work.

The area also boasts good golf courses, medieval castles such as Harlech Castle just eight miles away, the Snowdonia National Park and miles of stunning coastline.
This cottage is a superb rural retreat from which to explore this delightful area all year round.
Note: Private water supply which is tested annually.


I hate to be a picky guy but isn't the eye in the skull supposed to be brown like Guts? I just always thought I saw Guts with that slit looking eye and Griffith that that tube looking eye like the behelit has.
Here's everything as I see it, and colored it, whatever Miura's original intent may have been.
1. The left eye: though it is representative of Guts one eye, and indeed the left half of the face is obviously Guts. The eye itself is a Femto/Griffith homage. It dually refers to that side of Guts, or the importance of Griffith/Femto to him and what drives him. The evil he bred in him through the events of the eclipse. While the eye is looking out at us from Guts you could say it is looking inside of him.
3. Crown of thorns and rose: Skull Knight, Gaiseric, Power, King, Griffith, Guts.
4. The Skull: Represents Skully and Guts, the skull is dark to represent the armor as well, completing their connection.
There are many other ideas represented and cotrasted in this image, I pointed out a lot of the specifics but there are infinitly more subtle representations of death, power, fear, evil, deception, corruption, violation and struggle that are better felt and interpreted than described.
For instance, the Behelit hatching out of the skull.
Oh, well in that case I stand corrected. Nice explanation and thanks for clearing that up. But what did you mean a new flash?
But what did you mean a new flash?
Haha, Wyldverine. Nice, I had a Batguts on here but I lost it. It'll probably take me a while to find it . Oh and sorry for the flash thing, I missread it. It was splash :-\.
you sure are right, billybob.
Thanks for all of the suggestions thus far, guys.
So far, I've incorporated the excellent on/off buttons (rose insignia) that Jon Schaffer made, re-implemented the old Beherit-star rating system, created a new banner for the top, from Trans' original design (its a little plain, but I dig it) and re-wrote the BBS template from scratch, following the old colors.
a) Get the old color schemes as selectable templates. Remember when this place used to be purple? :-[ And the TRU BLU we had going just over a year ago. This shouldn't be hard, but I'll have to find screencaps I've taken throughout the BBS' history.
b) I want to take advantage of the new board's programming and re-design the layout. Currently, it looks like our good old sk.net however, in the future, there will certainly be changes ahead. You may occasionally see the layout blipping into and out of solidity, but all that means is that I'm hard at work.
c) Re-writing the main page news and several other quirks that really aren't worth mentioning now (oddities with buttons like reply, mostly).
Looks good Walt. Im impressed.
Uhh, what? I'm already using his re-colored version. As for whether or not I have an original copy of the Skull, check the encyclopedia's background.
Hmmm mentioning Encyclopedia, is there any more things that need to be added?
Check it out, the news page is for the first time in its long existence, finally legit-looking!
PS: I'll be carrying over the skull and thorn theme to the Enc. next. It works out quite nicely for navigating those nasty subsections, such as the World section. But incorporating all of that, like everything else I do single-handedly, takes time.
PPS: Can anyone figure out a better idea for the layout of the buttons (community/encyclopedia) ? It works like it is but... well it's just somehow not perfect.
As long as it doesnt involve double-spacing, go for it. Also... your sig is frikken huge!
Ho.. it's just that i see the black&white version in the banner with the colored rose only (with the words "beneath the mask" in the banner too) my link to the site is right on the bbs so i never seen the colored version... Sorry :-[ it's been a while i went to the encyclopedia so i haven't seen the background too.
Maybe I missed the post that addressed this, but have you decided to scrap the oekaki/archived news/misc./manga section altogether or just have not gotten around to integrating them into the site? Well, I know you're going to put the translations link, even though the link is easy to remember. The archived news is not really necessary, but why not? The above section are pretty much dead, but they're still cool to look, just not the life of the site.
By the way, good job on keeping a big site active for four years! That's pretty damn impressive.

Oekaki, old news, misc are on their way to the trash can. Out with the old, in with the Encyclopedia, I always say.
Well, I know you're going to put the translations link, even though the link is easy to remember.
It will be in the Enc. eventually.
Well uh... I don't really have any plans to involve animated .GIFs in the enyclopedia. That's sort of like graffiti in the museum, ya know?
In the character section of the encyclopedia I saw "&nbsp" in front of the names of several characters in the Golden Age.
On the topic of the Encyclopedia, Hot damn it looks good, as well as the Boards' new look.


Dr. John Silverton exemplifies the fusion of artistry and medical expertise that defines a top plastic surgeon.
Dr. Silverton is a native of England, where he attended Eton College and St. Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College.
Stop taking aspirin and ibuprofen.
Stop taking herbal medications and supplements.
Complete testing and lab work.
Many individuals choose our plastic surgery Stockton practice, near Modesto, Lodi, and Tracy, for breast augmentation (enlargement) with breast implants.
The tummy tuck procedure has evolved and improved since the procedure was first tried in 1899.
The standard technique, which has been with us for about 30 years, consists of a horizontal incision in the lower abdomen.
This is still a fairly standard technique in most plastic surgery practices. It has a couple of problems that make this method rather risky.
First, there may be insufficient blood getting to the lower central skin after the procedure and this can result in an area of dead skin which can create a hole.
The second is that there is a large space under this flap that needs prolonged drainage tubes and often drainage fluid will accumulate there after the drains have been removed.
I have been doing a better technique recently which seems to have solved these problems.
The results have been amazingly good.
If you are extremely thin and you do not need the liposuction we can omit it and do the rest of the new and improved technique.
Please call (209) 952-2251 and speak to our patient coordinator to schedule an appointment. Just bring a copy of this email and your appointment with me is FREE!
I am Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
I have been very encouraged and excited by these results.
Loose skin and stretch marks often develop after pregnancies.
Often this is cosmetically unacceptable, but every patient is different. Your particular problem will be examined and evaluated individually. I will customize the procedure for you.
Although the anatomy of the abdominal wall is quite complicated it can be broken down to three distinct layers - muscle, fat and skin.
If it is fat only, then liposuction might be appropriate. Liposuction will not tighten skin or muscles.
With liposuction I make small punctures - usually three. I inject some clear IV fluid containing epinephrine.
I treat the skin with ultrasound applied to the skin surface.
I suction using the syringe liposuction method where there is no machine. The vacuum of the syringe provides all the suction power that is needed.
When performed for the right Modesto / Stockton liposuction patient, this procedure can produce outstanding aesthetic results.
If you have a moderate or small amount of fat and and also a limited amount of loose skin a mini abdominoplasty might be the right choice.
With a mini abdominoplasty recovery is quick, and no drains are required. It also costs less.
Recently the full tummy tuck and been significantly improved. The results are much better than they were before, and recovery is quicker.
All our tummy tucks are done as an outpatient. You go home the same day.
In order to explain the new technique and new improvements I would like to comment on the old technique first.
The muscles may have spread apart due to pregnancy.
The skin and fat is now stretched downwards and the excess is trimmed off at the level of the original incision.
The fat under the skin that remains has not been removed.
There is a large potential space where two large surfaces can rub together. This space needs to be drained and this space can cause problems.
There is a risk of skin dying just above the pubic area resulting in delayed healing or a hole that needs prolonged dressing care.
Over the past several years we have done a lot to improve the technique and get around these problems.
Now we do liposuction of the entire abdomen to remove the excess fat.
Then we lift the skin and the lower abdominal tissue to the level of the belly button, but not as high as before.
We create a tunnel upwards from the belly button to the upper abdomen so that we can tighten the muscles from the top to the bottom at the pubic area.
What we do not do is to elevate the skin to the ribs on both sides.
So now the procedure is safer with much better healing, and better blood flow to the skin above the pubic area.
If you think you need to improve the appearance of your tummy, please call now for a consultation.
Please do not have unrealistic expectations.
A lesser procedure might be OK for you even if it produces a lesser result, if you want less surgery, less expense, less risk and a quicker recovery.
I enjoy this challenge and I am committed to getting the very best possible results for you.
Mommy Makeover: Is It For Me?


Our Uniontown Baseball team is off to a decent start this season. The team is coached by Ken Musko who is entering his fourth season as head coach. He's backed by five seniors Mark Fike, Christian Forsythe, Eric Indrovo, Colby Simmons and Carter Waligura. They have begun the season with a record of 1-4 and a section record of 0-2. They are entering a big week in section play as they compete in four games in four days. They are coming off a 2-1 loss against Elizabeth Forward last Wednesday on a very windy afternoon. Uniontown's pitcher Mark Fike pitched an excellent game recording numerous strikeouts throughout the game although he didn't get the run support he deserved and was handed the lose.
This is after two weeks of play but in this section it is anyone's game. As you can see the three/four spots are wide open and will be close until the last game. At this point in the season Uniontown has only played Elizabeth Forward and Belle Vernon. That still leaves a two game series between cross-town rival Laurel Highlands who look to clinch a second straight playoff spot. The season wraps up on May 4 so that still leaves about three weeks to go to make up ground and fight for a spot in the playoffs. This is a proving point and last opportunity for all those seniors above to prove something. So if you haven't come out to watch a game and root on the raiders you have to come out and watch the cards unfold.


Some car insurance policies also cover pets injured in car accidents. In fact, some insurers will pay for pet injury irrespective of fault. In addition to finding out whether an insurer will cover pet injury, find out what the coverage limit too. This is necessary because veterinary bills can sometimes soar into thousands of dollars, and it's important to know that your insurance will pay as much of this as possible.
These days, riots can break out at any time, and they can lead to considerable damage. Flying missiles can crack your windshield, stones can dent your car's body, and petrol bombs can burn your car. While some insurance policies don't offer protection for this loss, others will reimburse you for them.
Believe it or not, rodents can cause great damage to your car. For example, mice can get into your car and chew on the upholstery and electrical wiring. Most modern cars rely on electronics for their functions, which means damaged electrical wiring can cause malfunctions in different parts of the car.
Such rodent damage may be covered depending on the wording of your comprehensive coverage. If you already have insurance, read through the covered perils section to confirm whether rodent damage is listed or excluded. If the language isn't clear, talk to your insurance agent for further clarification.
Those who have homeowners insurance know that standard policies do not offer protection or earthquake or flood damage. Fortunately, the situation is different for automobile insurance. If an earthquake ripples through your neighborhood and the ripples crack your windows, your auto insurance might come to your rescue. It just depends on what kind of policy you have.
It is better to learn all these things before you experience any loss. Therefore, when shopping for auto insurance, compare all the covered risks to understand exactly what you are getting in each case. Scrutinize the excluded risks too. If a risk isn't listed as covered or excluded, get clarification from your insurance agent; don't make any assumption.


The DeRoyal Abdominal Binder is segmented plush-backed elastic and Uni-Foam panel with hook and loop closure. 3" wide panels of segmented elastic create form-fitting, breathable support. White.

I use this product for back support. Allegory Medical is a great company & this is the only time they've sent me the wrong item.
Item is in long term use to hold the abdominal wall due to surgery. Most similar to ones used in hospital.
Lightweight. Easy Storage. Safe. soft.
i use daily for blood pressure issues and back support.
Been trying to find a binder for my "quad belly" that doesn't leave marks and has decent durability. My question on this product is where do you measure? At your waist or the largest point on your abdomen? Your belly button? It seems to be a big difference between small and large. Also wearing every day for 10 or 12 hours anyone experience marks or break down? Thanks!

The team around Steven Holl can also build smaller formats: On the banks of the East River in New York, the architect's office realised a slender, cuboid building that can hold 50,000 books and captivates with its silvery facade.
Steven Holl Architects
Queens Public Library, New York Department of Design and Construction
Paul Warchol
Queens, New York, United States of America
Silvery shimmer
Compared to the neighbouring residential towers of Queens, the new public library at Hunters Point seems almost tiny. Nevertheless: The only seven-storey high and extremely narrow building has become a landmark. The strict basic shape of a high cuboid is opened up by cut outs and organically shaped, freely arranged glass areas. In this way, the public library clearly distinguishes itself from the grid facades of its surroundings and signals its special status. This perception is even more enhanced by the silvery shimmering on the facades.
It took about 30 years to turn the first idea into reality: A new library for Queens, not only as a source of knowledge, but also as a meeting place. In 2010, the concrete planning of the New York office of Steven Holl Architects began, the construction phase started in 2015 and finally in September 2019 the architectural highlight was officially opened. Located directly on the East River, the slim floor plan was also chosen to preserve the important urban open space of the surrounding park as much as possible.
The library differs from its neighbours in terms of construction: It is not a skeleton building with a curtain wall. Instead, the facade takes on the load-bearing function. This may sound unusual, but in this way the entire interior remains free of columns, a prerequisite for the fluid spatial program on which the concept is based. Different floor heights, half floors, bridge-like stairs, a stepped reading room, an auditorium for 140 people, digital zones and a reading roof garden provide a highly exciting and inspiring interior. Bamboo panelling makes a warm tone in the rooms, with light and functional grey nuances. Thanks to the large, shell-like openings in the facade, a lot of natural light enters the interior - and at the same time, there are breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline on the other side of the river.
The surface of the facade shows a roughness that reflects the formats and textures of the formwork panels in their raw state. This is contrasted by the full-surface coating of the facade with Concretal-W and Design-Lasur Metallic.
The concrete shell of the building initially challenges European architectural habits: It does not follow the ideal of a fair-faced concrete appearance that is as flawless as possible, but is definitely kept "irregular". Thus the surface of the facade shows a roughness that reflects the formats and textures of the formwork panels in their raw state. This is contrasted by the full-surface coating of the facade with KEIM Concretal-W and KEIM Design Lasur Metallic.
The one-component, covering concrete coating provides long-term protection against chlorides, water and weathering and is based on KEIM's proven sol-silicate system. The fine silver effect provides a visual contrast to the raw substrate, but thanks to the matte surface it retains the material character of the concrete. Completely treated with Concretal-W and Design Lasur Metallic, the building changes with the light of the day, the season; reflections overlap with the shadows of the joints and tilted partial surfaces to form a lively, changing overall picture. As if made for a building that is open to everyone.

Pacific Rim and Godzilla sequels get new titles…
December 19th, 2016	by Marc	Comments
Remember when we all knew the Pacific Rim sequel was called Maelstrom? Yeah, well, it's not…
In a new update from Legendary Pictures it has been revealed that it, alongside the Godzilla sequel have new titles and they're both pretty darned great and hint at the movies' futures.
[New producer Herbert W.] Gains, who will report directly to Parent effective immediately, was an exec producer on such films as Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, The Judge and Watchmen. His responsibilities at Legendary will include overseeing production of its feature film slate including Pacific Rim: Uprising, Pokémon's Detective Pikachu and Godzilla: King of Monsters. Gains will also work closely with the post-production team to ensure that the filmmaker's vision remains intact through production to final distribution.
So, Pacific Rim: Uprising and Godzilla: King of Monsters.
Uprising could mean the rising of the Kaiju or the humans against them, while King of the Monsters, we believe, speaks for itself.
With Legendary building a new shared monster universe with both King Kong and Godzilla at the forefront, we're still sorry that the Pacific Rim franchise wasn't involved in that universe, but hey, a bunch of giant monster movies are coming and that's more than good enough for us… no matter what the titles are.
Do you agree? Let us know.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he's been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He's a dad of two who now doesn't have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he's a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….

China's Sinopec to build green hydrogen plant and storage tank
hydrogen logo on gas stations fuel dispenser. h2 combustion Truck, car automotive engine for emission free ecofriendly transport. 3d rendering
China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) has announced the start of construction of a CNY 3 billion (€414 million) green hydrogen production complex in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
This pilot project calls for the installation of a 300-MW solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant to supply with electricity an electrolyser with the capacity to produce 20,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year. The plan also includes a spherical hydrogen storage tank with the capacity to store 210,000 m3 and hydrogen transmission pipelines with a capacity of 28,000 cubic metres per hour.
According to Sinopec, this will be the world's largest solar PV-powered green hydrogen production project when completed in June 2023. Its output will be supplied to Sinopec Tahe Refining & Chemical so it could replace the existing natural gas and fossil energy used in hydrogen production.
All of the major equipment and core materials for the project, including solar PV modules, electrolysers, hydrogen storage tanks and pipelines, will be manufactured in China.

The interferon-induced transmembrane (IFITM) proteins protect cells from diverse virus infections, including Influenza, HIV and Zika viruses, by inhibiting virus-cell fusion. We showed that IFITM proteins act additively in both productively infected cells and uninfected target cells to inhibit HIV-1 spread, potentially conferring these proteins with greater breadth and potency against enveloped viruses. We also reported that amino-terminal mutants of IFITM3 preventing ubiquitination or endocytosis are more abundantly incorporated into virions and exhibit enhanced inhibition of HIV-1 fusion. An analysis of primate genomes revealed that IFITM3 is the most ancient antiviral family member of the IFITM locus and has undergone a repeated duplication in independent host lineages. Some IFITM3 genes in nonhuman primates, including those that arose following gene duplication, carry amino-terminal mutations that modify protein localization and function. Our aim is to analyze the RNA levels of the various members of the IFITM family, in various normal or pathological human or animal tissues.

Everyone's favorite Jersey Girls are back for a brand new season of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New Jersey, with even bigger drama. The series follows sisters (who happen to be married to brothers) Caroline and Dina Manzo, their sister-in-law, Jacqueline Laurita, long time family friend, Teresa Giudice and the always unpredictable Danielle Staub. Whether they are throwing a family function, out for a night on the town, or just gossiping with the girls — the ladies always find a way to be over the top and stay true to their own Jersey style.
Last year's table flip was just the beginning. From "bubbies" to babies and everything in between, season two of The Real Housewives of New Jersey brings the water-cooler sensation to a whole new level. With Jacqueline and Teresa both having babies, Caroline and Dina maintaining the Manzo family clan and Danielle still trying to make her way into the inner circle, the tension is high and the girls from the Garden State don't hold back.

A group of UN agencies and civil society organizations have published a joint statement against the use of coercion to collect fingerprints and facial images from children, which would be allowed by proposals under consideration as part of the reformed Common European Asylum System.
The European Commission, Council, and Parliament are considering EURODAC proposals to add identification of "irregularly staying third country nationals" to the purpose of the database of asylum applicants, as well as to lower the mandatory registration age from 14 to six years. The statement expresses concern that European Institutions are actively considering allowing coercion by national authorities collecting biometrics, and says that claims that the collection is necessary for the safety of children being coerced is misguided.
The organizations urge those working with children at EU borders to employ appropriate professionals to explain children's rights and procedures in a way they can understand, and quickly appoint trained guardians to unaccompanied children to ensure fingerprint collection is carried out in compliance with CRC Article 3.
The statement is undersigned by more than 20 organizations including the UNHCR, UNICEF, OHCHR Regional Office for Europe, IOM, Save the Children, World Vision, and the International Commission of Jurists.
