Can't figure out how to create a new empty project on Watson Studio after the redesign - visual-recognition

I'm taking the IBM Certification on Coursera and the instructions are to "create a project" and then select "visual recognition project" but after an apparent redesign, the 2nd option is no longer there. I read one previous post about this issue, but it did not solve my problem as the "create" button is grayed out and I'm not sure what to do to create this project.
Any tips would be appreciated

Seems you are working on the "Introduction to Computer Vision with Watson and OpenCV" course. If so, please check the discussion forum where the original answer was posted.
Reposting the key information here: You will now find the option to create a visual recognition project in the menu on the left-hand side:
Services > Watson Services > Add Service > Visual Recognition
See screenshot. According to a recent post, the course authors are working on updating the instructions.

As you said, Watson interface for the project creation had been changed. If you still don't know how to solve the issue, you can follow the instructions from this link to create a new project on Watson Studio. Before this new design, we had to choose which type of project we will work accordingly the service we'll use. but now, we just add services to our project without declaring them in the beginning.
After creating the project, do the following:
From the Settings page of your project in Watson Studio, click Add
service.
Choose the Watson services group.
Click the Visual Recognition service.
Click the New option to create a new instance of the Visual
Recognition service, or click the Existing option to select an
existing instance.
Let us know, if you face any other problem.

How to use an API in vb.net

I'm trying to get data from online sources, specifically to do with economics. The world bank API was simple to understand, however, I need to be able to retrieve data from the united nations, through the UNdata API: http://data.un.org/Host.aspx?Content=API
I am relatively inexperienced with VB.net, and don't really know where to start, and having googled around a bit and found no answers, I could really do with some help to get me off the ground. Thanks
One simple way to consume the service is from the project in solution.
The link you provided has an ASMX service
SOAP Web Service at http://data.un.org/ws/NSIStdV20Service.asmx
In your "Project" on your Visual studio solution, you will notice "references".
Right click on it, you see a context menu.
There, you select "Add Service Reference". In the window opened, enter the above service URL, after that you can start consuming it
You should enter the URL as http://data.un.org/ws/NSIStdV20Service.asmx?wsdl
Then a proxy class gets created, which you can consume.

"Sideload" an App for Office programatically on the Desktop

I'm not sure whether "sideloading" is the correct term: Is therea an API to programatically install an Office Javascript API based add-in (e.g. a Task Pane app) in to the current / specific document on the desktop (at least on Windows)?
VisualStudio does this when you debug an App for Office project. How do I go about achieving the same?
There is no current way to programmatically insert an app (now "Office Add-in") into a document via JavaScript. It is a scenario that the product group is aware of, but it's not something we have yet.
You can insert an it via the Open XML SDK (which is actually how Visual Studio does this), but that would be .NET code running outside of the Office add-in (and not on the currently open document). Visual Studio in particular is atually inserting an app registered into the special local registry-based "Developer Store", but I can't think of any reason why wouldn't work for an actual Office-Store or SharePoint App Catalog-hosted app. If you are interested in going this route, let me know, and I might be able to find some pointers on the code you'd need to write.
Finally (though it probably goes without saying), you can insert an app into a Template, rather than a regular document. That way, anyone creating a document from that template would get your add-in -- I believe that's what the Paypal Invoicing add-in in Excel does, for example.
Hope this helps,

The best way would be to advertise your module at the OpenERP Community mailing list.

Return Lync presence with VB.net

I am working on a solution to a problem at work where we can't tell if someone is on the phone or just sitting there. We use Microsoft Lync to place our calls and I was hoping to be able to add a bit of code to an existing .net application to show the presence of the person logged into the machine. That info will send that out via USB to an indicator light I previously built.
So basically I am trying to create a .net version of those 'ON AIR' lights you see at radio stations.
I have been searching for the last few days and haven't found a solution. I also downloaded the Microsoft Lync Controls SDK, but no luck with that either.
The following site provides a couple of ways of getting the user availability: http://rcosic.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/availability-presence-in-lync-client/
You may also be interested in the BusyLight if you still haven't implemented this solution. It's a USB light which shows your presence, as you describe.
There's a video demo of it in action here.
