Police searching for two young brothers who were ripped from their mother's arms during Superstorm Sandy have found their bodies.
The remains of Brandon, two, and Connor Moore, four, were discovered only yards from where they went missing in Staten Island, New York.
The boys' mother Glenda Moore, 39, is said to have spent 12 hours screaming in the street after they were swept away, but residents would not help her look for them.

Tragedy: Glenda Moore (centre) with her husband Damien on their wedding day in 2009
The boys were sucked away by
floodwater after Mrs Moore's car stalled and became stuck just before
6pm on Monday near the 400-block of Fr. Capodanno Boulevard in South
Mrs Moore, a nurse, tried to hold on to them but was overpowered by the force of the storm.
Police found the young brothers about 30 yards off the corner of McLaughlin Street and Father Capodanno Boulevard.
'Terrible, absolutely terrible,' police commissioner Ray Kelly said. 'It just compounds all the tragic aspects of this horrific event.'

The boys were reported missing in the aftermath of Sandy, which hit the borough hard with flooding
The boys were about 20 yards apart
from each other, under water, buried by trees and debris, law
enforcement sources told the New York Post.
After the storm cleared on Tuesday
morning, officers, dogs and other searchers - armed with shovels, sticks
and pitchforks - had been scouring those marshlands off Father
A team of scuba divers were also there to search the marshy area.
At 10:15am today, police in wetsuits found Brandon waist-deep in water. His brother was found close by shortly after.
After the boys disappeared, Mrs Moore
knocked on a nearby door for help but was told: 'I don't know you. I'm
not going to help you.'
Mrs Moore then tried another neighbor
near her Staten Island home, but when she rang the bell they turned off
the lights and refused to answer.
About 20 police officers from the NYPD Scuba Unit fanned out across a Staten Island marsh on Father Capodanno Boulevard in search of the boys
As the storm raged around her, the
nurse took shelter in a doorstep, screaming and staring at the waters
which had just snatched away her children.
Twelve hours later, at dawn when the
weather calmed down, she found the strength to walk down the street and
flag down a passing police car to raise the alarm.
Her cousin Nancy Jean, 41, fought back tears as she described the ordeal.
'I can't believe the way she was treated by the people she went to for help,' she said.
'The first person she knocked on, she begged them and said: "Please call 911".
'They told her: "I don't know you" and closed the door. She tried another door but they turned the lights off.
'I can't imagine what she was thinking then. She sat down for 12 hours and was just screaming. She was out of it. When it got to morning she went and found a police car and told him what happened.'
A friend of the mother who lost two young sons to Superstorm Sandy today urged the public to 'keep them in your prayers, they're going to need it'.
The woman said Glenda Moore is 'in pain, she's hurting' after the death of Connor, four, and Brandon, two when their car was hit by a giant wave.
The woman, who was dressed in black, was speaking outside the home of Mrs Moore's mother Maria in the Kensington neighbourhood of Brooklyn, New York.
Aged in her 50s, she said: 'Keep them in your prayers, they are going to need it. It's a shock for everybody right now.
'I'm so emotional. I have children almost the same age. She [Glenda] is in pain. She's hurting.'
The mother told police that as the water started to rise, her car stalled and she got out of the car clutching the two-year-old son in her arms and her four-year-old son by the hand before they were washed away
Asked about the boys, the friend said: 'They were joyful, they were very happy. They were very good kids'.
When MailOnline knocked on the door a female relative with a Jamaican accent opened a first floor window and said: 'We're not saying anything'.
Other relatives could be seen entering the semi detached $200,000 home and breaking down in tears as they were given hugs.
Mrs Moore's aunt, who declined to
give her name, also told the New York Daily News: 'They answered the
door and said, "I don't know you. I'm not going to help you".
'My sister's like 5ft 3in, 130
pounds. She looks like a little girl. She's going to come to you and
you're going to slam the door in her face and say, "I don't know you, I
can't help you"?'
The aunt also said Mrs Moore told her she was knocked into the freezing waters herself by the power of the storm.
'She was holding on to them, and the waves just kept coming and crashing and they were under.
'It went over their heads… She had them in her arms, and a wave came and swept them out of her arms.
'She [Mrs Moore] said she got shoved, and then the wave just took the car and flipped it over. She was knocked down.'

Battered yachts in Southshore, Staten Island. Authorities have found the bodies of both boys
Tragedy struck on Monday as Mrs Moore was trying to flee her home to get to Brooklyn where her mother Maria Lemaire, 64, lives.
As her Ford Explorer stalled on the
Father Capodanno Boulevard in South Beach, she got out of the vehicle
and freed both boys from their seat belts.
She grabbed them and put one under each arm - but lost her grip as a huge wave pounded over their heads.
Mrs Moore is married to Damien, 39,
who works at the New York Sanitation Department. They have no other
children and are 'devastated' at the loss of their sons.
Miss Jean said: 'They were beautiful
boys. They were regular kids, they were just two and four years of age.
They were always well behaved.
'I saw them on Monday morning because I watch them when their mother goes to work.
'They were really happy and I know Glenda had bought them some Halloween costumes and was going to take them out on Halloween.'
The aunt added: 'They're the most beautiful children ever. One's a redhead, the other a dirty blonde.'
Reached at her home in Brooklyn, New York, Glenda's sister Sophia, 42, said: 'I'm sorry, I have no comment'.
Ms Moore told police her car stalled
and she became stranded in the marsh when the left her home in search of
higher ground as the storm worsened.
Officers from the NYPD Scuba Unit fanned out across the Staten Island marsh on the Boulevard in search of the boys.
'Cops were in there hip deep trying to get them,' a witness said.

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 010349 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 1049 PM CDT Sun Apr 30 2017 .Discussion... Issued at 308 PM CDT SUN APR 30 2017 Things are finally stating to settle down across the area this afternoon despite the presence of the large upper low responsible for so much sensible weather impacts across the Central U.S. directly to our west. In fact, latest GOES-16 satellite data has shown some breaks in the overlying stratus deck, and social media reports indicate the sun is actually peaking through across southern portions of the KC Metro! That said, we`re not totally out of the woods yet as instability type shwr activity will remain possible this afternoon and into the overnight as the aforementioned upper closed low translates east with time. In fact, latest SPC meso page shows an axis of MUCAPE exceeding 500 J/kg along the Route 63 corridor, and radar seems to be responding accordingly. Cannot rule out some pea sized hail with any storms that develop over the area, along with an isolated cold funnel or two. As of this afternoon, it seems completely plausible that light shwr activity extends right into day on Monday, especially for areas east of Route 65 as enough moisture and lift will remain in place through at least the first half of the day. Despite the low passing overhead, enough sun should return by early afternoon to allow temps to climb into the upper 50s to lower 60s across the western zones, with low to mid 50s likely further east. Much of the upcoming week looks to be shaping up as fairly benign as high pressure quickly builds in late Monday/Monday night. This should give us a brief opportunity to dry out before the next weak system begins impacting our area on Wednesday. This monring`s model guidance continues to track the main surface low further and further south of our region, thus it currently appears the heaviest rains will occur across southern Missouri and northern Arkansas; exactly where they don`t need it! That said however, fcst guidance shows little in the way of any available instability, so feature should pass with only minor impacts to the ongoing river flood situation for areas south of the Missouri River. Beyond this, extended range model guidance continues to suggest a major pattern shift with a developing omega block in the center part of the country by late week. There seems to be a fair amount of model agreement with this feature, which adds confidence that our region should see a fairly nice warmup as we head into next weekend. Warm temps combined with decreasing chances for organized rainfall should spell relief to many after the crazy weekend we just experienced. && .Aviation...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday Night) Issued at 1049 PM CDT SUN APR 30 2017 Light showers will continue to rotate through all TAF sites tonight as a surface low pressure system lifts northward across far eastern Kansas. Ceilings will gradually lower as the low approaches; however, trends have not been as drastic as model guidance advertised, so have backed off of IFR tonight and also slowed the trend of reduced ceilings. Winds will veer to the west and eventually the northwest on Monday morning, gusting to over 20 kts during the late morning and early afternoon hours. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && $$ Discussion...32 Aviation...Laflin

The Riddler and Penguin Casting Rumors Confirmed by Michael Caine
"The Dark Knight" actor, Michael Caine, has provided a ray of light in the midst of circulating rumors around the next possible foes for Batman and the actors who will play them in the next movie installment of the dark superhero. To MTV's Splash Page, the actor who played Alfred Pennyworth said that the studio have indicated that they want to cast Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Penguin.
At the 2008 Toronto Film Festival while promoting "Is There Anybody There?", he spoke out about how he learned about what the studio have in mind. "I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, 'Are we going to make another one?' They said yeah," he tipped off. "I said, 'How the hell are we going to top Heath [Ledger]? And he says 'I'll tell you how you top Heath - Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.' I said, 'S--t, they've done it again!'"
While Caine's statement on the casting of the villains seems to be confirming the widespread rumor, the studio have yet to offer any clarification or affirmation on the matter. Nevertheless, Depp himself has denied that he is up for the baddie role earlier in an interview with a Florida radio show insisting that he knows nothing about it, though admitting that the part would be "a fun gig". On the other hand, Hoffman and his camp have remained mum on the subject so far.
Said to be tentatively entitled "The Caped Crusade", the sequel to the record-breaking "The Dark Knight", has been hit with many speculations on its possible baddies. While many predicted that the most likely villains presented are The Riddler and Penguin, some speculated that Catwoman may have a part as well suggesting that Cher and Angelina Jolie are lining up for the role. The filming allegedly is scheduled to begin in Vancouver early 2009.

11/30/2016 - "The best part of Christmas, for my family, is receiving an ornament from Santa. Typically those ornaments must be purchased online as they represent something fun from that year or give a kiddo a sneak peak into something yet to come. This year my daughter had a rough patch with some kids who felt they needed to tell her the whole Christmas season was fake. It broke her heart. Out at dinner one evening we were seated close to a man who clearly resembled Santa. My daughter left to visit the restroom and I quickly explained her situation to the man. Both he and his wife were holiday Claus's and called my daughter to them (by her name) and spoke to her. I wasn't supposed to hear their conversation but "Santa" told my daughter that it does not matter what other kids believe as long as she still did. He said, "If you believe, I can feel it! I am going to put a gift under the tree this year that proves I'm real! A peanut butter and jelly sandwich!" I of course will get that sandwhich under the tree but I felt her ornament should reflect that spirit and joy I saw on her face during that discussion. This site had multiple designs to pick from and the quality looks like what I aim for. Lindsey K."

A Chance to Resore Italian Pride: Azzurrini Advance to UEFA U-21 Semi-finals in Sweden
Yesterday, the Italian Under 21, or the Azzurrini, advanced to the semi-final round of the UEFA U-21 Championship in Sweden by defeating Belarus, 2 x 1. Robert Acquafresca, who is owned by Genoa but will be loaned out next season with Atalanta of Bergamo, scored a brace.
Robert Acquafresca played with Cagliari last year, and scored 14 goals.
Italy has an excellent record in this competition. Since 1978 when the competition began, they have won it 5 times. Most recently, in 2004.
Semi-Finals on Friday
On Friday, they will face Germany in Helsinborg. In the other semi-final tie, England will meet Sweden. The final will take place next Monday in Malmo. The Azzurrini are managed by Gigi Casiraghi, who played professionally for Chelsea, Juventus, and Lazio. He was also capped many times for the Azzurri. In my opinion, he stands a very good chance to succeed Marcello Lippi on the senior bench when the great Mister ultimately retires.
Gigi Casiraghi at World Cup 1994.
This event is a showcase for future talent at the senior level. For example, many have already called for Mister Lippi to draft in current U-21 talents such as Mario Balotelli (Inter Milan), Marco Motta (AS Roma), Claudio Marchisio (Juventus), and Acquafresca.
Mario Balotelli is a prodigious but hot-tempered talent for Internazionale.

She's nailed it! Rita Ora shows off $56,000 customised diamond manicure to match her red satin gown at the MTV VMAs
She might have been looking a million dollars at Sunday night's MTV VMAs, but in fact, the most expensive part of singer Rita Ora's ensemble could well have been her nails.
The 23-year-old was rocking a $56,000 customised diamond manicure according to Hollywood Life which consisted of scarlet red nails and a one-of-a-kind design.
Manicurist to the stars, Barbara Warner, devised a manicure which consisted of tiny diamond spiders and ruby bows and the close attention to detail made sure that Rita was red carpet ready.
Scroll down for video
It's a bling thing: Rita Ora shows off her $56,000 manicure at the MTV VMAs on Sunday night
So decadent: The singer's talons were crafted with little diamond spiders and ruby red bows
The singer has been going through a turbulent time of late thanks to an ongoing feud with ex boyfriend and producer Calvin Harris which is threatening to derail her new album.
But Rita Ora looked as if she hadn't a care in the world as she hit up the MTV VMAs at the Forum in Los Angeles' Inglewood in three equally daring outfit.
Ora took to the red carpet in a red full-length gown with a thigh-high split and if looking good is the best revenge, then Calvin was surely kicking himself on Sunday.
Centre of attention: Rita Ora ensured she stood out at the MTV VMAs in Los Angeles on Sunday night as she hit up the red carpet in a daring dress
A brave look: Rita had to be careful to avoid a wardrobe malfunction as she posed up a storm on the red carpet
Not only was her dress slashed almost to her hip, Rita's silk ensemble was also backless, showing off practically every inch of her enviable figure.
Also evident was the huge tattoo on her side.
Red strappy sandals added to the sexy look while her platinum blonde locks were slicked back off her face.
Pert derriere: The slashed red dress left little to the imagination and put Rita's bottom firmly on display
Looking good is the best revenge: Rita's ex Calvin Harris will be kicking himself after seeing how good his ex love looked at the awards ceremony
Rita upped the vamp factor with bright red lipstick as she posed up a storm on the carpet.
And as if that wasn't enough, Rita had two more eye catching outfits lined up for later.
Both Rita and co-performer Iggy Azalea channelled Morticia Addams in their skintight black jumpsuits, during a performance of their new single Black Widow.
Looking good from every angle: Rita's red silk dress barely covered her but the star looked stunning
Easy to smile when you look this good: Rita put her recent heartbreak behind her to wow on the red carpet
With a plunging neckline and cut-out panels at the upper thigh, black and silver spiderwebs criss-crossed over the body of Rita's leotard.
The British pop star topped off the look with a platinum wig as the duo had the star-studded crowd enthralled with their performance.
And things heated up again later as Rita changed into a black suit jacket with a sheer bodysuit underneath it, showing off her cleavage.
Putting it all on display: Rita changed into a webbed bodysuit to hit the stage for a performance of Black Widow
Caught in her web: Rita's sexy webbed outfit for her performance with Iggy Azalea certainly grabbed attention
Double trouble: Rita and Iggy Azalea opted for equally daring cut-out bodysuits on stage in Inglewood
The top left nothing to the imagination and Rita also left her blonde wig on following her performance.
Until now, many Americans will only have known Rita as the former girlfriend of Rob Kardashian but after her star turn at the VMAs that will surely have changed.
Rita also enjoyed herself by catching up with a variety of top stars including Jennifer Lopez and Taylor Swift.
Daring: Rita's third outfit left little to the imagination, as it featured a sheer bodysuit and jacket
Attention grabbing: Rita's cleavage was once again the focus of her outfit at the VMAs
Clearly she has decided to put her public break-up and spat with Calvin firmly behind her and focus on her career.
And with her new album being forced back as she works on new tracks without Calvin's help this would appear to be a wise decision.
But last night it was all about enjoying herself.
Catch the VMAs on MTV UK Monday 25th August at 9pm. For more see: www.mtv.co.uk

Start with Top 5 DevOps Challenges & Solutions Part 1: Focus on Business
Start with Top 5 DevOps Challenges & Solutions Part 2: Focus on Technology Leadership
Vision without execution is delusion. (iSpeak Cloud 2016)
The success of DevOps depends on both the cultural shift around people and process as well as the technical implementation skills of the team across Dev and Ops. For example, one DevOps initiative was struck down by the CIO because of technical impact issues to the business of the continuous integration and continuous delivery process. The reality did not point to either process or leadership flaws, but improperly written and executed tests. At the end of the day, the damage was done. The executives only heard the sound bite that the system issues were due to the "DevOps" process. The official initiative was cut to placate the source of the issues as a result. Ironically, the final implementation of their cloud strategy was around DevOps, but to this day, the technology team will not call it that.
In Part 1 of this 3-part series on Challenges and Solutions for implementing DevOps, I provided an overview of the Top 5 Challenges and Solutions the Business faces when the technology team implements a DevOps Strategy. Part 2 focused on technology leadership challenges and suggested solutions. Finally, in this post, Part 3, I will focus on the top 5 technology implementation mistakes.
Challenge 1: Not Understanding Security and Access Management
Security was the number one concern of every person I interviewed for the iSpeak Cloud series. Why? Because implementation of both DevOps and Cloud solutions has often been in a vacuum, with security requirements as an afterthought. As a result, companies have discovered that they are vulnerable in areas that could significantly impact not only their DevOps implementation, but also their company overall.
One critical success factor is as simple as ensuring that the security team has a seat at the table when you are creating your overall strategy. From all perspectives, the team should understand the security features of the identity and access management solutions and the best routes to implement them to reduce risk and ensure compliance.
Another success factor is to ensure that your team is trained on the security requirements for your company from both a Control Objective Baseline for IT Standards (COBIT) and Cloud Security Alliance perspective. This will reduce the need to re-do later because solutions will be architected for security and compliance from the start.
In addition to extending the security tool sets to the DevOps team, the team should map out a plan to use them. In other words, before they begin, the entire team should have mapped out a strategy to secure all the applications, services, microservices and/or APIs.
Challenge 2: Not consistently managing all environments
The second challenge is that every environment throughout the DevOps process must be consistently managed across teams.
Environmental differences can cause differences in development and deployment. One large retailer overcame its environment inconsistency issues by leveraging an orchestration tool as the framework for their DevOps platform. This enabled the company to create a library of repeatable run books to automate.
An IT leader of another company reported addressing consistency issues by automating redundant processes such as change management. This company reduced time to value as well as the traffic associated with the previous layers of approval by automating the approval process for sign off to roll into production.
Finally, top performers standardize every stage and enforce those standards across teams based on a bonus pool for quality. These top performers hold everyone accountable to the agreed upon standard throughout the process from the business leaders to the DevOps engineers. Not only did this reduce shadow IT, but it also helped to improve the quality and consistency of releases as part of Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery process.
Challenge 3: Ignoring the importance of monitoring and/or metrics from the business perspective
One top performer I interviewed hit quality issues across multiple business lines in different regions. In post mortem, the company discovered that it was caused by an undetected latency in the system. It turns out that the services were only being monitored if they were up or down, not if they were actually working. Although the users could log into the application because it was up, they could not use it because it would hang or take too long to load. The team realized that in order for their DevOps practice to be successful, they had to provide value to the business.
Top performers implemented monitoring against service level agreements for all of the components in the stack. This ensured that they were measuring what was important to the company overall, rather than what was important to IT.
Metrics should be defined not only for the services, but also the underlying systems and team members throughout the process. For example, understanding the velocity issues of your scrum team can assist in identifying bottlenecks or critical skills gaps that will impact quality and agility.
A big part of DevOps, along with Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery, is Continuous Improvement. The team can build a proactive (versus reactive) process by monitoring and measuring the systems, team members and users interactions. In this way, the team is set to embrace change and be in tune with the business.
Challenge 4: Onboarding Codebase or Service to the DevOps Process Too Soon
Not every service or application codebase will be a good candidate for frequent releases or the type of agile development environment prescribed by DevOps.
One mistake cited by many early adopters was not categorizing their services and/or applications prior to migrating them onto the new cloud platform and/or DevOps Process. As a result, they hit issues with the continuous improvement and continuous delivery process.
Legacy services and applications, and even some new ones, should be reviewed. It is important to identify areas in the codebase that should be simplified and documented. Part of the documentation should be calling out key files that need refactoring to function properly on the new platform with the new process. Another key success factor to reduce the refactoring risk is to perform unit tests.
Challenge 5: Not Designing for Scale around Development & Testing
Be sure to consider the scalability of each unit, from interdependency design of the codebase, to the automated test. Otherwise, the entire system will start to break down.
Interdependencies should be kept at a minimum through the individual codebase and test cases.
Whenever possible, test casts should not be written to be dependent on the outcome of other tests.
Another best practice is to use temporary tests and/or QA pods for parallel testing of features.
Regardless of your strategy, the key take away is to ensure that reliability, availability, supportability, serviceability and scalability are an integral part of the solution.

One could argue that testing is the most important phase of an IT project. It's also time-consuming and expensive.

Whether through formal methods such as classroom or virtual training, job shadowing, and mentoring; or through informal methods such as team discussions or presentations, teaching needs to be a frequent element of team integration.

ISVR6140 Applied Digital Signal Processing
Module Overview
Signal processing methods are used in many aspects of acoustics and engineering. In this course, you will study several applications where such tools are commonly used. With these applications in mind, new signal processing concepts are introduced and used to tackle a range of engineering problems. Topics include condition monitoring, ultrasound imaging, microphone array processing, the detection, estimation and classification of signals and adaptive methods. Signal processing methods are used routinely to monitor and assess the condition of engineering parts. For example, the vibrations generated by rotating machines can be analysed to detect failing parts such as ball-bearings and gear-boxes, while ultrasound images can be analysed to detect cracks and defects in manufactured components. In many applications, such as in ultrasound imaging or in underwater sonar, we are typically not using a single sensor to record a signal, but use several sensors in a so-called sensor array. These arrays provide additional flexibility, but special array signal processing methods have be used. Using these techniques it then becomes possible, for example, to build microphone arrays that are sensitive only to sound arriving from a specific direction. In nearly all applications, we have to find a way to deal with noise and uncertainties and this is another aspect you will explore in this course. You will learn about methods that can be used to detect signals embedded in noise (for example, this could be used to detect hidden underwater objects from noisy sonar recordings), methods that can be used to estimate signal properties (for example, to estimate the room response from a recording of a rooms response to an impulsive sound) and tools to classify signal into different categories (a good example here could be the automatic classification of different bat species from recordings made of their calls). In many of these settings, analysis has to be performed under variable environmental conditions. For example, noise properties might change during operation of a sensor so that it becomes important for the signal processing methods to automatically adapt to this change.
Aims and Objectives
Module Aims
• Provide details of the application of signal processing methods to a range of application areas from machine condition monitoring to sonar. • Introduce some advanced signal processing concepts and algorithms and their application, including methods for array data analysis, image analysis, signal detection, estimation and classification, and adaptive methods. • Highlight practical issues associated with specific real-world problems. • Create a broader awareness of the set of available signal processing methods and to understand the practical limitation that occur when idealised mathematical models begin to breakdown.

Will be in Dusseldorf area in October for business, then have a long weekend free. Haven't seen either Amsterdam or Berlin so those are our top choices. Don't want to spend too much time in transit, so we'll take a fast train or cheap flight to the city of choice then back to Dusseldorf.
Fodors folks, which would you choose?

Art, history, good food and drink!

I've never been to Berlin but I love Amsterdam. Great museums, interesting architecture / canals, you might have to research the food a bit but it's there - brown cafes, rice tables, pancakes? herring??? I'll admit I've never been much of a fan of Germany but I'd return to Amsterdam in a heartbeat.
Report Abuse
This will forever be a toss up.
Report Abuse
I have been to both cities and loved both. They both had a lot to see and do. We probably liked the food in Berlin a little more. Both are fun and interesting cities.
Report Abuse
Tough call -- Both cities have incredible art collections, fascinating histories, and great food and drink.
Because of the extensive destruction of Berlin during WWII, it may have fewer buildings of "historic" interest than Amsterdam. But it certainly has history!
FWIW, 3 days is less than I would like in either city. That said, I think Amsterdam may more readily fit a 3-day frame than Berlin.
You won't go wrong with either choice!
Report Abuse
I would do Berlin - but I've only been there twice and Amsterdam at least 6 times. You can;t go wrong with either one - and I might make ease of travel the deciding factor.
Report Abuse
both are great cities. If it comes to Museums, Amsterdam has a bit more to offer and it's a quite "small" city, so easy to get around, either by foot or bike. Berlin is huge, public transportation excellent but it might take a while to get from A to B.
Concerning food & drinks & nightlife, Berlin is the better choice i would say. And Berlin is cheap!
Can't go wrong with either of them.
