Brief Synopsis
A woman''s happiness is threatened when she discovers her husband has been suffering from amnesia.
On 11 Nov 1918, "Smith," an amnesiac, shell-shocked officer, who has lived in a county asylum in Melbridge, England for many months, wanders into town for the first time, attracted by the sounds of celebration at the end of World War I. In a tobacconist's shop, Smith's hesitating speech alerts the owner that he is from the asylum, but a kindly entertainer, known as Paula Ridgeway, whispers that he should leave, then takes him to a local pub. Paula invites him to her show and gently draws him out. Because "Smithy," as Paula calls him, has come down with the influenza, she and her friend, barkeep "Biffer," take him in and nurse him back to health. Smithy thrives under Paula's care and she obtains a job for him with her troupe. When an asylum caretaker reveals that they are still looking for a missing inmate, though, Paula runs away with Smithy and takes him to a small town in Devon. They stay at a local inn, and soon she gets a job as a typist, while a thriving Smithy begins to write. When he sells his first article to the Liverpool Mercury , Smithy tells Paula that he loves her and proposes. After their marriage they move into a small cottage, and in November 1920, Paula gives birth to a baby boy. A few days later, Smithy receives a telegram from the Mercury asking him to come to Liverpoool to discuss a permanent position on the paper. Because Paula is still recovering from a difficult birth, he reluctantly travels alone, planning to return the following night. After checking into his hotel, Smithy walks toward the Mercury office but is hit by a car and knocked unconscious. When he comes to, he has no memory of the past three years and recalls only his life as aristocrat Charles Rainier. Although confused, Charles returns home, where he finds that his father has died and his siblings are anticipating their inheritance. He also meets Kitty, the teenaged daughter of his sister's new husband. By 1932, Charles has become known as "the industrial prince of England" for vastly increasing his family's fortunes, but is haunted by the missing past that is tied to a latchkey he found in his vest pocket after the accident. He has been loyally served for two years by his private secretary, Margaret Hanson, whom Charles does not recognize as Paula. One day, while dining with Kitty in a London restaurant, Charles hears the voice of Melbridge psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Benet and is briefly reminded of something in his past, but, as always, the memory passes before he can capture it. That same day, Charles tells Kitty, who has always loved him, that he returns her feelings and later announces to Margaret that he is going to marry Kitty. Margaret, whose son died in infancy, struggles to maintain her composure and that night begs Benet, who has become a good friend, to let her tell Charles everything. Benet makes her realize that Charles has to find memories of "Smithy" on his own. On the day that Kitty and Charles are selecting music for their wedding, one melody inexplicably reminds him of his past and he momentarily looks at Kitty as if she were a stranger. Seeing her cry brings him back to the present, but she tells him that they cannot go through with the wedding because he can never return feelings for her that belong to someone from his past. After Charles goes to Liverpool for clues to his past, Margaret follows him to say that the Liberal party has requested that he stand for election to a newly vacated seat in Parliament. While in Liverpool, Margaret tries gently to lead him to clues about his lost life, but even finding "Smithy's" suitcase does not jar his memory. Charles is soon elected to Parliament and confesses to Margaret that from time to time he has had the feeling that he knew her in the past. He then proposes that they marry in a kind of "merger" in which she would help him in his political life and says that he can offer only sincere friendship. She discusses the proposal with Benet, who loves Magaret himself, and disregards his admonition that she will be hurt. After Margaret and Charles marry, she becomes his greatest asset and dearest friend. Charles is soon knighted and on their third anniversary Charles gives her an expensive necklace. Despite Charles' affection and friendship, Margaret yearns for the love she shared with Smithy and decides that she needs to go away for a few weeks. As Charles uneasily sees her off on the train, he receives word that there is labor unrest in his cableworks in Melbridge. He soon settles the dispute, and as he goes through the town, he surprises his assistant, Harrison, by going right to the tobacconist's shop, even though he had just said that he had never been in Melbridge before. The next day, Margaret, who had been staying at the old Devon inn, learns from the proprietress that a man has just been by asking for the former owner and inquiring about a nearby cottage. Margaret then rushes to her old home. At the cottage, Charles's memories begin to flood back as his latchkey opens the front door. When Margaret arrives and calls him "Smithy," he finally recognizes that Margaret is Paula and the two happily embrace.

Closet organization may seem like a scary task, but with the right steps you can have a completely organized place to store your clothes and accessories. Sort through the following guidelines to not only make organizing your closet simple, but also to create a stylish storage solution that will keep your closets organized year-round.
1. Define your plan. To begin organizing your closet more easily, have an idea of how you want to use the space and store the things inside of it. Start with a thorough cleaning of the closet, removing all contents and throwing out or selling what you no longer want or need as you sort the items you would like to keep into different storage categories. Reviewing your newly ordered items, you'll get a better idea of how much space will be required for the storage of everything from workday shoes to floor-length formal wear, and be able to plan in the recommended 15 percent vacancy to accommodate new purchases. Next, consider how the newly organized closet will be used. Will it need to be available for everyday access, seasonal storage or both? Also think about who will be using the organized closet not only now but later. A small child's closet may call for a convertible system that'll accommodate their belongings as they grow. Finally, be honest about which of your prior storage and closet organization techniques have been leading to closet-cluttering breakdowns, and make note of previously unused zones which could add efficiency in the new storage plan. You are now ready to begin organizing your closet.
2. Create a neat system design. Now that you've done an inventory of the closet's contents, it's time begin organizing your closet and select the components that will successfully contain all of your belongings. The system you choose and the investment you make will depend on your design priorities, the amount of closet space you have to work with, and the level of permanence appropriate for the years you plan to spend in your home.Remember that a great closet system can be a positive selling point when it comes time to move on to new frontiers in home storage space. Quality components can be found at many home improvement and design stores, and dedicated retailers add ease and remove guesswork with online tools that help you design your own organized closet system, generate the corresponding shopping list and make your purchase in minutes. Check out the products and online helpers offered by such specialists as Organized Living, EasyClosets, and ClosetMaid to launch your new storage endeavors. You'll find smart double-rod clothes hanging systems, shelves and drawers with moveable dividers, accessory storage and such add-ons as fold-away mirrors and ironing boards. With these products, organizing your closet can both add space for storage and show off your design skills.
3. Keep up appearances. As you design your newly organized closet and shop for products to keep it clean, check out all the options while keeping a realistic view of what features you'll actually use on a daily basis. Through the system you purchase and install, you want to create a cleanup routine for your closet that's easy to maintain and storage space with enough breathing room to keep your belongings in nice condition and instantly within view.If the job's done well, your closet organization will inspire confidence and quick finds rather than dread and endless searching once the door has been opened. By keeping long-term storage, organization and style in mind, organizing your closet can be a fun DIY project that will give you incentive to keep your newly-organized closet neat and possibly inspire you to organize other closets and areas around your home.


text: Arc E-Commerce, Sweden Keywords for the logistics at Arc E-commerce are: space optimisation. Constructor has provided a dynamic solution to Outl1.se, in Stockholm, for the storage and handling of all merchandise sold via the Internet. The Pallet Shuttle System was the ideal answer for them, when we learnt how their business operated. The creator of the Outl1.se web shop, Joacim Boivie, has been selling imported goods for some years and has a highly developed sense of what people are looking for right now. Outl1.se deals with seasonal products so in Summer you can buy garden trampolines and bicycles; in Winter they offer heat pumps and snow ploughs. The ever changing stock profile meant that their storage solution needed to cater for a large volume of goods with easy access, whilst retaining seasonal products in a safe environment. www... The Internet is central to Outl1.se so naturally it was through this channel that they identified with their suppliers in China. Similarly it was on the web where they found Constructor Sweden when looking for answers to their storage challenges. Joacim Boivie's biggest issue was to manage the balance between stocking too little and too much of each item. Most items sold on outl1.se are imported from China and due to the length of time required between an initial idea and the eventual launch on the web, Joacim skills at identifying the right products are critical. Warehouse logistics with Pallet Shuttle System One of the challenges that Constructor had to consider were the dimensions of the warehouse, as there were large columns running across the building. In addition, the stock profile contained mixed goods with different pallet sizes, with varying demands, plus a need for bulk storage. The ideal solution to satisfy all the elements was a Pallet Shuttle System. This offered 4 sections, on 3 levels and provided 540 pallet locations, all fully accessible by the shuttle. This gave them a dense storage structure with the added benefit of the automatic platform for retrieving and locating pallets, to improve the speed of their operation. Facts about the installation: 4 sections with 15 pallets in depth Rack height: 4000 mm Load capacity: 500 kg/pallet Number of pallet places: 540 Long side handling of EUR-pallet 800 x 1200 mm 1 shuttle for max. Pallet weight 1500 kg

99 ways to improve your business communication
Communication and self-confidence are the cornerstones of success. How do you rate on this list of 99 communication tips?
Strong and effective communication skills are critical to your business success.
Here are 99 nuggets on business communication, networking, interviews, and social media that you can use to supercharge your department and career.
Off we go!
1. Believe body language. It doesn't lie.
2. Remember that every statement or comment doesn't require a response.
3. Choose your words carefully.
4. Speak and write with clarity.
5. Read whenever possible; it expands your vocabulary.
6. Be aware of your speech patterns and habits, including inflection, pacing, and tone of voice.
7. Avoid interrupting people. We're adults. One voice at a time.
8. Keep slang at home.
9. Stay away from "empty" words such as "Frankly," "Really," and "Actually."
10. Prepare an outline when speaking at meetings and presentations.
11. Focus conversations on other people, not yourself.
12. Weave names into conversations. Everyone's favorite word is their own name.
13. Use dark backgrounds and light colored fonts for PowerPoint slides.
14. Insert silence and pauses into your speeches and conversations. They are more powerful than words.
15. Diffuse conflicts without technology. Plan a face-to-face meeting or a phone call to resolve issues amicably and quickly.
16. Develop the fine art of charisma. Don't be a "crap magnet."
17. Write to express, not to impress.
18. Engage your listener, reader, and audience with material that is clear, concise, and compelling.
19. Ask good questions and you'll get good information.
20. Listen with your mouth closed.
21. Use the "P-R-R" method when answering questions: Pause, Reflect, Respond.
22. Greet the janitor and the CEO of the company in the exact same way.
23. Smile and use eye contact. It's the universal language.
24. Know when to speak up and know when to shut up.
25. Follow the 5 Ps: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance (public speaking).
26. Respond to controversial or off-color comments with this phrase: "Isn't that interesting?" Then smile. It's a neutral statement and dead-ends virtually all conversations. In a pleasant way, of course.
27. Improve your communication skills by observing positive role models you admire and respect.
28. Show value when reciting your "elevator speech." Focus on the results you get for others, not your job title.
29. Speak from the heart.
30. Follow a written agenda in meetings to save time and stay on task.
31. Make all important phone calls before noon.
32. Ask the question. Then be quiet.
33. Walk the walk and talk the talk. Be congruent.
34. Stay away from industry jargon and rhetoric that can confuse people.
35. Identify where your target audience hangs out and go there (this is true for bricks-and-mortar as well as social media)
36. Avoid writing emails and making phone calls when you're angry or frustrated.
37. Write your blogs consistently so people can gain insight into your expertise, experiences, and personality.
38. Learn Emotional Intelligence (empathy, self-awareness, and teamwork) to improve your communication skills.
39. Understand the importance of self-promotion and personal branding.
40. Walk into a room tall, strong, and proud.
41. Look for similarities, not differences. This bridges communication gaps.
42. Listen to what is not being said.
43. Avoid criticizing, complaining, and judging.
44. Record yourself on audio or video to hear and see how you move and behave.
45. Answer the phone standing up and smiling.
46. Look in the mirror before you go into a meeting.
47. Give all of your attention to the person who is speaking. Avoid distractions and "darting eyes."
48. Turn off your technology at professional business meetings and events.
49. Avoid excessive and distracting clothing patterns, jewelry, make-up, and accessories —especially when you are the speaker, TV guest, or recording a video for your intranet.
50. Be relevant and memorable.
51. Use gestures to empasize your spoken words.
52. Follow the leader. If he speaks fast, you speak fast. If he is slow, you should be slow.
53. Connect with people by being authentic and genuine.
54. Stay on message.
55. Dress like the person you aspire to be.
56. Build rapport with people.
57. Keep your jacket open. A closed jacket sends a nonverbal sign that you may be hiding something.
58. Have a good handshake. Practice with someone you trust and get their feedback.
59. Thank someone when they offer a compliment (don't argue!)
60. Save political, religious, sex, and other controversial jokes or stories for outside of your professional circles.
61. Respect the personal space of others.
62. Avoid planning your answer in your head when someone is speaking. Pay close attention to what they are saying and then respond.
63. Write with bullet points and white space so your information is "reader-friendly."
64. Have a powerful opening and closing in your presentations, speeches, articles, and blog posts.
65. Highlight benefits, not features, when building consensus for new projects and ideas.
66. Create punchy, engaging, and helpful videos that are 1-3 minutes in length.
67. Write tweets of less than 125 characters; leaving space for people to retweet and spread your message.
68. Connect with human emotions by using real-life examples and sharing stories.
69. Avoid keeping your reading glasses on and "looking down your nose" when speaking to others.
70. Emphasize important words or phrases by lowering or raising your voice, or slowing down.
71. Exude positive energy in both your written and spoken words.
72. Understand the importance of making small talk.
73. Avoid biting your lip and inside cheek when speaking to someone. These signal anxiety or nervousness.
74. Project your voice with authority.
75. Use smiles as positive reinforcements.
76. Express gratitude.
77. Re-read, and if necessary, rewrite everything before you send it, speak it, or share it.
78. Maintain eye contact, but not at a level that can make someone feel uncomfortable.
79. Keep your palms open when asking questions. This indicates you are open-minded and welcoming.
80. Recognize when it's appropriate to use a "social hug" to greet someone.
81. Avoid the word "stuff." It's vague and unprofessional. Be specific.
82. Write an article for your ezine or newsletter that includes interesting quotes and statistics.
83. Drink alcohol on your personal time.
84. Steer conversations to positive topics.
85. Dress appropriately for videos and TV interviews by asking about background colors, lighting, and set design.
86. Have a mission or value statement that has repeatability so others can communicate it for you.
87. Use your body language to your advantage when delivering a speech. Don't hide behind the podium.
88. Watch for cultural differences in communication styles.
89. Remember that enthusiasm is contagious.
90. Point your feet away from someone if you want to leave the conversation.
91. Respond to comments on your blog or website so it's interactive and engaging.
92. Leave your personal life outside of business conversations.
93. Show respect and spare people's feelings. Don't blame or insult anyone.
94. Delete the word "just" from your vocabulary. It's belittling. You're not "just an accountant" or "just a recruiter." You are an accountant. You are a recruiter. Be proud.
95. Stop over-apologizing. You're not responsible for the poor service, rain, or world peace.
96. Resist the temptation to finish other people's sentences.
97. Open your eyes, ears, and heart to new messages and people.
98. Be the fountain, not the drain.
99. Stand up if everyone around is standing and sit down if everyone is seated. Be on a level playing field.
Which of these pointers have you mastered and which ones need improvement?
Care to add to the list? Comments welcome.

Hallo Daivd-World!
Because I am scanning the whole day , I always have to wait until my automatic TT-1 has finished scanning.
Meanwhile I could align some scans done before.
I Think, we could save time to have two seperate modules which can work simultaneously.
After scanning I cloud chose the coloured Scans like before to add them from the List, which is in the scanningmodule, to shape fusion-list.
By the way:
I'm very happy that David5 is using all my 12 CPU-Cores at once. Not at all functions, but that is much quicker than before.

Dear reader,
In the past 21 years, the world has changed quite a bit. In 1995, DPRP was a main source of news on progressive rock. Artists and labels contacted us directly (I mean, with a personal email) and told us about the things that were going on. For the past few years, our News page has been little more than a shop window for everybody else to show their press releases, which are found and copy on numerous other sites and blogs.
We're very proud at what our News page meant to people in the past, but we can't see it adding anything anymore in the world today. Any kind of news can be found all over the 'net. The time it takes for our team to collect, filter, sometimes rewrite, and post news takes a considerable amount of time, and we would like to use that time for something else: reviews.
DPRP will continue as, and focus even more, on being a site with reviews. That has always been the most popular section.
Thank you all for visiting and reading the news section and for the artists and organisations sending in news all those years.
The DPRP Team

How to Check Your Spelling on QuickBooks 2013 Invoices
If you click the Spelling button, which appears along the top edge of the Create Invoices window in QuickBooks 2013, QuickBooks checks the spelling of the words that you've used on the invoice. If QuickBooks finds no spelling errors, QuickBooks displays a message telling you that the spelling check is complete.
If QuickBooks finds a spelling error — product code abbreviations often produce spelling errors in QuickBooks — QuickBooks displays the Check Spelling on Form dialog box.
You can use the Change To box to correct your spelling error — if it actually is a spelling error. You can select one of the suggested replacements from the Suggestions list box by clicking the suggestion and then clicking the Replace button. You can replace all occurrences of the misspelling by clicking the Replace All button.
If the word that QuickBooks says is misspelled is actually correctly spelled, you can click the Ignore button to tell QuickBooks to ignore this word or the Ignore All button to tell QuickBooks to ignore all occurrences of this word on the invoice form.
If you use terms that are always popping up as misspelled words, at least in QuickBooks, you can click the Add button that appears on the Check Spelling on Form dialog box. Clicking the Add button tells QuickBooks to add the word to its spelling dictionary.
After you've added a word to the QuickBooks spelling dictionary, QuickBooks doesn't see the word as misspelled. Also note that you can click the Options button to display the Spelling Options dialog box. The Spelling Options dialog box includes check boxes that you can use to turn certain types of spell-checking logic on or off.
For example, the Spelling Options dialog box includes a check box that you can select to tell QuickBooks to always check the spelling of forms before printing, saving, or sending the form. The Spelling Options dialog box also includes check boxes to tell QuickBooks it should ignore certain sorts of words, such as those that use numbers, those that are all uppercase, and those that are mixed case.

A lot of work has been done recently on electron dynamics using attosecond pump-probe techniques; for instance in this paper. In this particular paper, the authors photoionized the neutral tetrapeptide $\mathrm{TrpLeu}_3$ to the cation and observed the repopulation from the HOMO-1 to the HOMO (highest-occupied molecular orbital) of the cation in a time-resolved manner.
Here's my question: Since Heisenberg's uncertainty principle guarantees that the natural linewidth of a energy measurement will be greater than or equal to the inverse of the state's lifetime times $\hbar$, i.e.
$\Delta E \geq \frac{\hbar}{\Delta t}$,
could you just measure the natural linewidth of the photons emitted by the transition between the transient state and the final state and deduce the lifetime of the transient state? Or would the broadening be too large for subfemtosecond states to accurately determine the natural linewidth? Or, would other effects such as Doppler broadening be too large to get a reasonable measurement of the natural linewidth?
Note: I'm a long way out of my field of specialty (computational chemistry) in this question, so I apologize in advance if this makes no sense whatsoever (please tell me why, though, in your answer if this is the case). Also, obviously this would only yield an upper bound for the lifetime; my question is more along the lines of if it would yield an upper bound worth obtaining.

Box and Crate Engineering (Feb, 1946)
Box and Crate Engineering
That may be a recognized course of study some of these days
By WM. J. DUCHAINE
UNIVERSITIES and engineering schools, now that the war is over, quite likely will offer courses in "box-and-crate engineering." Industrial concerns, who employ safety engineers, chemical engineers, and others with specialized training, will add experts on container construction to their staffs. Packing and shipping of postwar industrial products will become an exact science, and for no small number of college graduates it will become a profession.
Box-and-crate engineering is planning for shipping before an industrial product leaves the drawing boards. That many cubic feet of space could be saved in ships, railway cars and motor trucks through scientific designing of boxes and crates has been demonstrated many times in the shipping of war materials. It also has meant the saving of millions of dollars in freight charges.
Both the government and private industry have done extensive research work to make boxes, crates and other containers sturdier despite the use of less hard-to-get lumber. The famous Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wis., began its research in this field long before the outbreak of war. The wirebound box industry and other private concerns, engaged in the production of packaging material, has utilized the services of the Madison laboratory and a private research institution at Rockaway, N. J.
Members of the Wirebound Box Manufacturers association, who have had experience in providing boxes for millions of tons of war shipping, have already launched a campaign for an increased industrial market. With dollar volume up about 110 per cent over 1940, the 42 member companies had a 1943 sales volume of 44 million dollars. Even before the war, the demand for industrial and meat-packing boxes was expanding rapidly. These fields are expected to give the industry its greatest impetus now.
The industry is divided into two sections geographically, as well as in type of product. Southern plants produce most of the veneer boxes for fruits and vegetables, while northern plants' production is devoted mostly to industrial and meat boxes. All types use material of various thicknesses, depending on the characteristics of the intended contents.
Wire is more than a binding agent in these boxes. It is stapled to the wood in such a way that it gives more than its own strength to the whole. Spacing of the wire strands and placing of the staples is determined by careful calculations and tests. Laboratories for the industry are maintained in Rock-away, N. J., and each manufacturer periodically sends sample boxes there for thorough tests to maintain standards.
With this scientific approach to the problems of shipping containers, and with the expectation of a huge new market in industry and meat packing, the industry is putting great importance on the newly developed "box-and-crate engineering." When a manufacturer is designing a gas range, for example, the box-and-crate engineer can often recommend minor changes which will reduce crating and shipping costs and reduce damage in transit.
The G. B. Lewis company of Watertown, Wis., has been doing much experimenting on its own with industrial containers both for wartime and postwar use. One man working with a power lift truck and Lewis Skid Boxes can do as much material handling as previously done by a whole crew. They can be safely stacked ceiling high to hold parts in temporary storage. Lewis Skid Boxes are over 90 per cent wood. Panels of resilient, bump-resisting woven wood-and-wire are mounted on a strong white elm frame. The corners are reinforced by metal stampings. The special skid construction enables the fork of a power lift truck to easily remove one or more boxes from the stack.
The Lewis company has a new folding skid box in process of development, which is designed to handle loads up to 4,000 pounds and will be used primarily in trucking heavy materials from one plant to another. Although the idea of folding boxes is not new, it is believed that Lewis is the first company to give serious consideration to a product of this type to be used in connection with hand or power lift truck equipment. The new container, incidentally, can be quickly assembled or disassembled by one person.
More than 8 billion board feet of lumber went into the manufacture of dunnage, boxes and crates in 1942, and in 1943 the use had risen to 12.6 billion feet, and the prospects were for even greater consumption in 1944. The 1943 figure was nearly one third of the total U. S. lumber consumption of 38.8 billion feet in that year.
The Forest Products Laboratory, maintained by the U. S. Forest Service at Madison, Wis., has done some outstanding work on wartime shipping container problems. In 1942, the Army Ordnance department assigned to the laboratory the job of solving the special packaging, loading and shipping problems for all ordnance equipment and supplies.
Existing containers were redesigned or new ones designed and specifications prepared for hundreds of items, including anti-aircraft guns, armored cars, ammunition, rifles and bazookas. Besides providing special protection to ordnance supplies in overseas shipment, large savings in packaging materials and cargo space are being effected. For instance, a crate designed by the laboratory for an artillery item saved 70,000 cubic feet of cargo space per month on shipments from a single depot.
The chief of the packing and packaging section, Army Service Corps, estimated that the packaging methods and organization formed by the Madison laboratory in the shipment of ordnance supplies alone effected savings in ship space valued at more than 50 million dollars. The largest single crate designed was for a half-track carrier weighing 13,700 pounds. Packaged materials are arriving in good condition in spite of such hazards as temperatures ranging from 50 below to 135 above, rain totaling 450 inches a year in some places, and as many as 100 separate handlings en-route.
Proper packaging of guns, tank parts, ammunition and like items affords various economies. Lighter crates and boxes mean less lumber used and less weight in transport. Better design assures less damage to precision machinery. A shell case dented in transit is worthless. Steel had to be protected from saltwater corrosion and quick rust in humid jungles. The Madison laboratory tests hundreds of waterproof and greaseproof papers for the Ordnance department to determine their adequacy.
Boxes and crates designed for the Army Air Forces had to be of light weight for air transport and able to withstand rough handling, be quickly opened, and be reusable on distant airfields.
The Forest Products Laboratory has given training courses for packaging inspectors to more than 3,000 persons from Army Ordnance, Corps of Engineers, Army Air Forces, the Navy, and manufacturers representatives. Laboratory technicians are assigned to inspection and consultant work at ordnance depots and shipping points. Assistance was also given to manufacturers, Lend-Lease, War Food Administration, and the Army Air Forces in packaging and shipping problems.
Box-and-crate engineering- in fact, is already a science and a profession, Born of war's necessities, it is one of the many developments of those hectic years destined to raise the standards of industrial practice in a peace-time America.

GE is entering the SV field in an innovative way. They are doing a crowdfunding approach through one of their Innovation technology centers. The device itself is also innovative in that it uses a Inductive cooktop for the heating element with a wireless temperature sensor. It's also unique in that it does not include any type of water circulation.
Here's a link to the crowdfunding site: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/paragon-induction-cooktop/
What does everybody think about this entry into the field? If nothing else it certainly shows that SV has gotten the attention of major appliance makers. A few weeks ago GE also announced that one of their new lines of stoves will have the same type of temperature control as this device uses so you can do SV on your stovetop.

I made the Creme Anglaise recipe from Myhrvold Modernist Cuisine - it did look curdled and lumpy coming out of the zip lock bag as described in the recipe.
I used my stick blender to smooth it out as instructed, but I think I blended it for too long, and it went from lumpy to smooth to watery. Did I make a fatal mistake of over blending the custard?
The recipe does not say how to blend or when to stop.
Hoping one of the gurus can give me guidance before I try this again.
Many Thanks

I would like to buy some pectinex ultra sp-l.
However I am worried about the temperature during the shipping time.
I read that the storage temperature should be between 2 and 8 C. It works best from 15 to 50 C, and if it stays a lot of time in 25 C, it will gradually be deactivated.
It needs a week to come here (Greece), then will it affect its abilities?
Do you know if I can find a document somewhere that explains the gradual loss of power as a function of time and temperature?
Did you have any experience with pectinex not working well due to bad storage?

SS Erkennungs Dienst, View of the Ramp at Auschwitz-Birkenau Showing the SS Selection of Hungarian Jews (c. 1944). This view, from the so-called "Auschwitz Album," was taken by an SS Erkennungsdienst photographer documenting the arrival process and selection for forced labor or death of the Hungarian Jews (Data Source: Yad Vashem (Public Domain), Panstwowe Muzeum w Oswiecim-Brzezinka Panstwowe Muzeum w Auschwitz-Birkenau w Oswiecimiu) US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Photo Archive
Viewshed of a Digital Reconstruction of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Space Showing Approximate Lines of Sight of SS Officer on the Ramp (c. 1944). The "light" cast from a single point indicates the range of sight as well as where the sight would have been blocked by intermediary structures. (Data source: Osobyi Archive, RG 11.001M.03, USHMM) Chester W. Harvey with Anne Kelly Knowles and Paul B. Jaskot.
Auschwitz seems to be the most familiar place of the Holocaust. However, while we know much about the camp and its function in the genocide, there are many things we don't know. At the level of how people lived, worked and died in the camp, many issues remain unexplored, especially how the camp developed over time. Our project uses geovisualization tools, including a digital rendering of the built landscape of the entire camp, to pose new historical questions. Rendering the places and spaces of Auschwitz imbues both with meaning while making it possible to analyze them in new ways.
Analyzing the real and imagined SS environment at Auschwitz helps us to understand more critically the development of this important genocidal center, the relation of oppression to other economic and social functions, and the different experiences of all who were forced to toil and die there. Bringing questions about time together with the analysis of space brings to the fore the importance of geographic concepts for a historical interpretation of this most important site of the Holocaust.
Exploring the central spatial characteristics of the genocide at Auschwitz involves looking at diverse kinds of evidence, such as:
- Plans from the SS Central Building Administration for the physical layout of the entire site.
- Administrative documents that describe changes to the site and the surrounding area, including the changing functions of buildings over time.
- Testimony from survivors.
- SS photographs of buildings and construction.
- Historical maps and Allied reconnaissance photographs that document the built environment as a whole.

Is Taxing Health Plans Next?
When you receive your W-2 for 2012, pay attention to a surprising new number on the form, especially if you are an upper-income-bracket taxpayer. The figure could threaten one of your most valuable tax breaks.
The W-2 is the annual tax form with wage and salary data that employers provide to workers and the Internal Revenue Service. Companies are required to send W-2s by the end of January.

Moving, & a Scary Experience!
Greetings! I realized yesterday that it's been a few days since I last posted. I've been busy packing, needless to say. Busy, busy, busy ... packing, packing, packing. It's amazing how much stuff a person can accumulate in just a few years. Before we moved here 6 years ago, we had a big 2-day moving sale. We sold all our furniture with the exception of an end table, a storage cabinet, & our mattress set. We also sold a bunch of kitchen things, craft things, DVDs, CDs, & all my shop equipment. It was fun to see their reaction when men would say to me, "I can't believe your husband is selling all his shop equipment!" ... & I would say, "It's mine." : ) Anyway, I have decided that we need to have a big "moving in sale" once we get settled in our new home. The problem will be convincing myself to part with so much of this stuff that is so neat!
I am really, really envying the Amish now ... a simple lifestyle without a bunch of clutter. Sigh!
As far as a new home is concerned, at this point we are looking at a homeless existence. You wouldn't think finding a nice rental home would be so difficult! I have searched online for rental homes in 12 different states ... 12!!! ... & have found some nice possibilities, but ARGH!!! There were two mountain top homes in North Carolina that were well priced, beautiful inside & out, with gorgeous views, but driving 20 minutes down a mountain & who knows how much farther in a snowstorm to get to an ER if need be? Not practical. There were a couple of nice homes in a few other states, but $2000-$3000 & more for rent each month??? Again, not practical. We drove 3 hours last week to look at a home in Tennessee only to find that the realtor handling the home totally misrepresented it to us : ( Some of the nice homes that caught our interest turned out to be too small, or they were in a noisy area, or they wouldn't be available when we needed them, or there was some other problem. Closing is just 3 weeks away. I have joked with John that maybe we can park our moving van in a Walmart parking lot, sleep in the car, & wash up in their bathrooms until we find a place. I know that God will lead us to a nice home somewhere. I hope He leads us to it soon : )
A couple weeks ago I had a rather scary experience. I was out in the garage mixing some weed killer in one of those plastic containers that you pump to get pressure into them in order to spray the mixture on the weeds. I was nearing the end of the pumping when suddenly the container blew up in my face with a deafening BANG! John had gone out to run some errands, so I was alone. Thank God I was wearing my glasses! I was startled for a second ... didn't really realize what had happened at first ... then I rushed into the house where I took off my glasses & immediately turned on the kitchen faucet & started rinsing my face & neck with water. I then ran into the bathroom to remove my shirt & to do more washing with soap. When I looked in the mirror, I couldn't believe it. My hair kind of looked like this ...

Thank you for visiting the website for Smart People Should Build Things! I'm excited to share the ideas behind the creation of Venture for America and the stories of the young people who are striving to revitalize the country through entrepreneurship. We need to build the path for the next generation to create new opportunities for themselves and others.
Though VFA itself is quite new, the inspiration for it came about over more than a decade. While I was running a test prep company, I gained a distinct perspective on the flow of talent. After meeting hundreds of smart, enterprising, yet somewhat dissatisfied young people, I became convinced that we needed to build a bridge between them and the startup companies throughout the country that were innovating, solving problems and creating value. I felt sure that if we could accomplish this, we would do a lot of good for everyone: the companies, the cities, our national economy and culture, and most importantly, the individuals themselves.
It's early yet, but we're off to a tremendous start. It is my hope that after reading this book, you'll understand better how the pieces fit together and how we can get our top young people building things again to spur the next great era of American competitiveness. If we provide the path, they'll embrace it.
Praise for Smart People Should Build Things:
I wish this book and Venture for America had existed when I graduated from college and wanted to make the world a better place but didn't know where to turn. Smart People Should Build Things details how we can channel our top graduates into impactful entrepreneurial opportunities while addressing our economy's biggest problems.
Dave Gilboa, co-founder and co-CEO of Warby Parker
A lot of people in the world are chasing the money, not the passion. Smart People Should Build Things shows them a way out — and has the potential to change the way we define success in business.
Tony Hsieh, NY Times bestselling author of "Delivering Happiness" and CEO of Zappos.com, Inc.
Andrew is one of those rare visionaries who puts dreams into action. This book is a roadmap for young people in designing their careers, a playbook for policy makers for rebuilding our cities, and a path forward to moving entrepreneurship back to the center of the American economy.
Arianna Huffington, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Huffington Post
In Smart People Should Build Things, Andrew Yang makes a compelling case for a new, fearless approach to helping young companies – the engine of the American economy and hallmark of healthy communities – access the critical talent they need for their companies to thrive.
Jean Case, CEO of the Case Foundation
In Smart People Should Build Things, Andrew Yang writes about the importance of encouraging top graduates to join start-ups in geographically diverse regions throughout the United States. I have great respect for the foresight he brought to his groundbreaking start-up, Venture for America, and Andrew has become living proof that it's possible to create a platform that makes it easier than ever for the country's best and brightest to help others succeed.
Jeff Weiner, CEO of LinkedIn
In Smart People Should Build Things, Andrew Yang spells out the notion that a highly disproportionate percentage of our best and brightest have been tempted down the path of chasing money as an end in itself. He lays out a solution that is a proven winner for not only the young generation coming of age, but for the nation as a whole. Money follows. It does not lead.
Dan Gilbert, Chairman and Founder of Rock Ventures

Network ports used by Xbox Live on Xbox One
Port forwarding overview
A network port lets your Xbox One console communicate with the Xbox Live servers and other Xbox One consoles over the Internet.
To let your Xbox One console communicate with Xbox Live, you might have to open or forward ports, which means you'll be making a configuration change to your firewall or network hardware, such as a router. Port forwarding for Xbox One is done on your router or other network hardware, not on the Xbox console itself.
Ports required to use Xbox Live
These ports must be open for Xbox Live to work:
- Port 88 (UDP)
- Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
- Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
- Port 80 (TCP)
- Port 500 (UDP)
- Port 3544 (UDP)
- Port 4500 (UDP)
Note Some game developers require you to open additional ports. You should always check the game developer's website to see if the game you're playing needs additional ports to work. We've gathered some ports you might need and have added them to the Additional Network Ports for Multiplayer Gaming forum.
If you're connected to a network through your workplace or school, ask the network administrator to open these ports.
If you receive a NAT warning when you connect to Xbox Live, see the Xbox One Multiplayer Game Solution.
How to set up port forwarding
To get information about how to configure your compatible network hardware, go to the Networking Hardware Information forums. Here you'll find information about your specific router, modem or gateway, and how to connect it to your Xbox One console.
You can also find information about opening ports on your router at the Port Forward website. This website lists commonly used ports for various apps and games, but if your router isn't listed or you need more help, contact your Internet service provider or router manufacturer.
Tip The Xbox Networking Hardware Information forums and the Port Forward website are available only in English, so use Bing Translator if you need another language.

Red Bull denied reports on Wednesday that Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel's early season struggles were due to his car having a crooked chassis.
The 26-year-old German was given a 'new' chassis for last weekend's Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona and charged to fourth despite starting 15th following a five-place penalty for a gearbox change.
Media reports in Germany suggested the previous chassis, while supposedly no different to the replacement that was used in pre-season testing, was crooked but the team said there was no evidence of that.
"The 'old' chassis has not been found to be distorted," chief engineer Paul Monaghan said in response to a query.
"The investigation is ongoing as the extent of the checks is vast in order to be thorough. No one error can be considered an entire explanation and requires further work to that completed prior to and within the Spanish GP.
"Changes to some ancillary equipment and preparation procedures has resulted from the checks made thus far," Monaghan added.
"Once all the information is available, Red Bull will address the points found in order to implement a complete solution."
Vettel, winner of the last four championships and the final nine races of 2013, has been fighting more for points than podiums so far this year.
The German complained of a lack of 'feel' from the car as Formula One entered a new V6 turbo hybrid era after ditching the old V8 engines.
Red Bull's engine partners Renault have also been playing catch-up with a power unit that has been less competitive than the dominant Mercedes one.
However, Vettel has also been outperformed by his new Australian team mate Daniel Ricciardo, who started and finished third in Spain and was disqualified from second in Australia.
Team principal Christian Horner said after Sunday's race that it looked like the Vettel of old was returning, however.
"(In 2013) his confidence was high, he was on the crest of a wave, and then you can walk on water. He had the feeling from the car everything was going for him," the Briton told reporters.
"That's what he has been searching for with RB10, and this weekend you could see in the race the recovery drive that he had, the fastest lap, he hunted down the Ferraris. It looked like he had got his mojo back."

Don't Share Your Computer with the World
If you are like many people, you use your computer for many tasks in your daily life, including paying bills, managing your bank accounts and taking care of other personal matters. Whenever you enter this personal information online, you could be at risk for identity theft. It is up to you to make sure you keep your computer secure so you don't have to be concerned about someone stealing your personal information and using it for their own gain.
Beware of Verification Emails
Verification emails are one of the most common ways people are tricked into sharing their information. Hackers send out emails that look like they come from legitimate businesses and make scary claims that your account may have been compromised or your account has been locked. These emails contain a link you are supposed to click to enter your information and verify your identity. When you click on these links and fill in your information, it is stolen. Always verify these emails directly through the websites, not through the email. If you don't receive a message on the website, report the email to them.
Use Your Firewall
Many individuals turn off their firewall because when they aren't set up properly, they can block the sites people want to visit. However, when you aren't using a firewall, you are leaving your computer open to hackers and others. Firewalls are designed to block potentially malicious activity that will give others access to your computer and the private information it contains. Always use a firewall along with a good anti-virus software. If you are having trouble setting up the firewall, ask for help.
Don't Log Into Sensitive Sites over Public Wi-Fi
You can find public Wi-Fi in any number of places. If you will be using these hotspots to access the Internet with your computer or other device, avoid visiting sensitive sites that contain your personal information. Even if you are extremely careful, you could be giving someone access to this information. Always make sure you are familiar with the source of the signal to avoid falling victim to a hacker-created network.
Home Security System
One of the first things a thief will go after is a laptop, PC, or iPad. These items are easy to take, often contain valuable information, and are easy to resell. While it's important to keep track of the way you use your computer, keeping your home locked up and secure can save thousands of dollars in headaches later.
Trust Only Secure Sites
When you make purchases online, you can do so safely. There's no reason to completely avoid buying things online as long as you know how to do it properly. For starters, only shop from websites that have a good reputation, such as those associated with brick and mortar stores and other major online retailers. In addition, make sure you look for https at the beginning of the address bar instead of http. This will indicate the site is secure and transmits personal data through encryption codes.
Using the Internet can be dangerous if you aren't careful. There are many hackers out there who have become familiar with how to access your computer and gather your personal data for their own personal gain. While this can be enough to make you want to avoid using a computer altogether, you don't have to go that far. As long as you take the proper precautions and do what you can to protect your computer and your personal information, you can enjoy using your computer without risking your safety.

With the deadline for submitting host community agreements to the state Gaming Commission less than a month off, state Sen. Michael O. Moore said he would support a slots gambling parlor in this Worcester suburb, where a new mall opened in 2004.
The Millbury Democrat said a slots emporium would be a positive economic development move for the region.
"If the host agreement was something that the town supports, and as long as the town was agreeable to it … I wouldn't be opposed to it," Mr. Moore said.
The lawmaker called a potential gaming facility "an economic development opportunity with 400 to 500 jobs."
While one casino company looked at the Blackstone Valley town as a possible location about a year ago, Mr. Moore said at least one other gambling company has considered the town. He said he did not know of any specific proposals.
"Millbury has been contacted by several slot parlor" companies, said Mr. Moore, whose district includes seven other towns and the southern half of Worcester.
A $200 million slots proposal by Rush Gaming of Chicago recently fell apart in Worcester, amid community opposition and the failure of the company and city officials to draw up a host agreement.
Voters in Everett on June 23 overwhelmingly approved a proposal by developer Steve Wynn to build a $1.2 billion casino resort in the city.
Meanwhile, Town Manager Robert Spain said: "I don't comment on rumors."
Mr. Moore said Millbury might be more likely to look more kindly at a slots parlor than Worcester, and noted that the town's commercial tax rate is half that of the city's, which, along with highway access, might make the town more attractive to a developer than Worcester.
"We took Wheelabrator when the city didn't want it," he said, referring to the trash-to-energy plant on Route 20 in Millbury.
At least one casino company, Penn National Gaming of Pennsylvania, has considered Millbury as a potential location.
Worcester Realtor Joyce O'Connor said she showed Penn a location near Route 146 about a year ago that was assessed at about $90 million, but the company did not pursue the interest.
Charlton landowner Vincent Iuliano said he has shown property he owns near the Massachusetts Turnpike to Penn, Rush Gaming, and the Cordish Cos., another casino operator, as well as to the Hard Rock Caf�.
If any slots proposal were to move forward in Millbury, or any other community, it would have to move quickly.
Elaine Driscoll, spokeswoman for the Gaming Commission, said host agreements must be signed by July 26.
After that, a community referendum would have to be held by Sept. 23, with final applications for the state's single slots-only license due by Oct. 4.

Nanotechnology Products and Applications
Product Details
Product: NANOWEB Advanced Nanofiber Technology
Manufacturer: Hollingsworth & Vose
Product page: (external link)
Product Sector: Transportation → Automotive → Membranes → Air Filter
H&V's new NANOWEB technology provides a microporous structure with unparalleled process control and durability. With this proprietary technology, fiber diameter distribution and layer thickness can be formulated to deliver greater performance across a wide range of applications. Our nanofibers typically range from 0.3 to 0.5 microns in size, but can be increased up to 1 micron.
|Nanofiber filter media
The nanofiber layer can have a thickness ranging from 15 to 30 microns, and a second layer can be applied with a similar or different polymer. When supplied as a standalone substrate, NANOWEB media has a thickness of 100 to 200 microns. With its controlled versatility, NANOWEB filter media can be supplied as a coating to any nonwoven base, including glass, cellulose, or synthetic fibers, or as a standalone substrate.
Air Filter Media
NANOWEB technology can greatly improve the performance of filter media?s ability to remove particulates from airstreams. This improvement can be seen in the air intake streams of dust collectors, gas turbines, motorized vehicle cabins, computer disk drives, HVAC, and high-efficiency filtration.
Various nanofiber layers can be positioned at different locations in the filter media according to the application. NANOWEB media can be positioned upstream before the macro filtration substrate to enhance surface filtration performance, or downstream of the macro filtration substrate to improve depth filtration by capturing particles within the body of the media. The strong nanofiber layer adhesion also makes NANOWEB technology ideal for pulse-cleaning applications.

Towson, Md. – UMBC's shooting woes deepened as the Retrievers managed to hit only 29 percent from the floor and Towson defeated UMBC, 75-60 at SCU Arena.
Senior forward Chase Plummer (Plainfield, N.J./St. Patrick) led the Retrievers with 17 points and junior forward Devarick Houston (Jonesboro, Ga./Mays) tied his season high with 11 points.
The Tigers (4-2) rejected 11 UMBC (2-5) shots in the contest.
After hitting five of its first ten shots in the game, UMBC went ice cold, going without a field goal for over six minutes of action. The Retrievers trailed, 20-13, with 6:51 to play in the half, but a trey by Malik Garner triggered a 16-5 UMBC surge. Rodney Elliott capped the run with a long trey from the top of the key and the visitors snagged a brief 26-25 lead with 3:51 remaining in the half.
Towson's final six points of the half came from the charity stripe the Tigers took a 31-28 advantage into the locker room.
The Retrievers managed to hang around until the midpoint of the second half .When Malik Garner (Philadelphia, Pa./Chestnut Hill Acad.) buried a long right baseline jumper, UMBC was within 48-42 with 11:30 to play. But a couple of possession where UMBC could not clear its defensive glass were costly, as the Tigers responded with a 13-4 run and took command at 61-46 with five minutes to play.
After UMBC held a 19-17 edge in rebounds in the first half, Towson outrebounded UMBC,28-13 in the final twenty minutes and amassed a 45-32 advantage for the evening. UMBC attempted 26 more shots from the floor than did the hosts, but made one less field goal (20-19).
UMBC freshman guard Bryan Harris (Oxon Hill, Md./Southern) made his debut for UMBC and scored six points in 11 minutes. Houston hit three of six shots from behind the arc to key his second game in double figures for UMBC.
Towson wing Marcus Damas led all scorers with 22 points. UMBC held Tiger leading scorer Jerrelle Benimon scoreless in the first half, but he scored 19 second half points.
UMBC committed a season-low four turnovers in the contest, but committed 28 fouls, sending Towson to the line 42 times (28-of-42).
The Retrievers take a mini-break over the Thanksgiving holiday before welcoming UMES to the RAC Arena on Monday, Dec. 2.

On Feb. 21, 2012, members of the feminist art collective Pussy Riot, donning their colorful trademark balaclavas, or ski masks, participated in a 40-second "punk prayer protest" on the altar of Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral before being detained. Arrested and tried for trespassing, wearing "inappropriate" sleeveless dresses and disrupting social order, Nadia, Masha and Katia were accused of religious hatred in a trial that reverberated around the world and transformed the face of Russian society.
An official selection of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, where it received the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Punk Spirit, PUSSY RIOT: A PUNK PRAYER tells their story with exclusive interviews and unprecedented access to courtroom footage when it kicks off the HBO Documentary Films summer series MONDAY, JUNE 10 (9:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.
Other HBO playdates: June 10 (4:35 a.m.), 13 (3:45 p.m., 1:05 a.m.), 16 (2:15 p.m.), 18 (10:30 a.m.) and 22 (4:45 p.m.)
HBO2 playdates: June 12 (8:00 p.m.) and 24 (12:30 p.m., 11:00 p.m.)
HBO Documentary Films presents another weekly series this summer, debuting provocative new specials every Monday from June 10 to Aug. 12. Other films include: "Love, Marilyn" (June 17); "Miss You Can Do It" (June 24); "Gideon's Army" (July 1); "Gasland Part II" (July 8); "The Crash Reel" (July 15); "The Cheshire Murders" (July 22); "First Comes Love" (July 29); "Casting By" (Aug. 5); and "Americans in Bed" (Aug. 12).
Filmed over the course of six months by directors Mike Lerner (HBO's "Afghan Star") and Maxim Pozdorovkin, PUSSY RIOT: A PUNK PRAYER reveals the real people behind the balaclavas. Through interviews with band members, family and the defense team and unprecedented footage of the trial, the film highlights the forces that transformed these women from playful political activists to modern-day icons, exposing the state of Russian justice in the modern era.
Founded in 2011 after Vladimir Putin was given a third term as Russian president amidst accusations of impropriety, Pussy Riot is an anonymous feminist art collective/punk band based in Moscow. The group's protest inside the cathedral was intended to protest Putin's union of church and state.
Mixing farce and tragedy, PUSSY RIOT: A PUNK PRAYER shows how Nadia, Masha and Katia battled a system determined to make an example of them, featuring footage of the defendants on trial, where they were placed in a glass cage, as well as visceral performances and rehearsals of Pussy Riot shot in and around Moscow. As they defended themselves inside the courtroom, other Pussy Riot members planned new guerilla performances and cultivated a protest movement across the globe. Organizations like Amnesty International and celebrities such as Sting, Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono and Madonna spoke out in support of their cause and freedom of speech worldwide.
Nadia, Masha and Katia were eventually sentenced to two years at a labor camp, although Katia's conviction was overturned on appeal, based on the fact that she was not physically present on the altar that day. Nadia and Masha are continuing their legal crusade, while Katia remains part of Pussy Riot.
Says Mike Lerner, "The story of Pussy Riot is about a lot of things: politics, religion, national identity, gender equality, the nature of freedom and the enduring power of punk rock."
Notes Maxim Pozdorovkin, "The fact that their 40-second performance inside the Christ the Savior Cathedral could provoke such great controversy reveals a lot about Russia today."

PUSSY RIOT: A PUNK PRAYER was produced and directed by Mike Lerner and Maxim Pozdorovkin; editors, Esteban Uyarra, Simon Barker and Pax Wassermann; director of photography, Antony Butts; original music, Simon Russell, Pussy Riot. For HBO: supervising producer, Sara Bernstein; executive producer, Sheila Nevins.

Keeping Close Track of Chats, Word for Word
People store their emails, photos and documents online to keep them from being lost or accidentally deleted. But what about the records we never save to begin with, like phone conversations and text messages? These hold a lot of useful data and can sometimes be the only point of reference for important conversations.
Calltrunk is a service that records, stores and transcribes phone calls while Uppidy does much the same thing with text messages. WSJ's Katherine Boehret says they're both great ideas but says there might be privacy concerns.
I've been testing Calltrunk, a service that records, stores and transcribes calls initiated by its app or website; a manual feature on iPhones and Skype also enables recording incoming calls.

Neil Krawetz describes in his excellent 2008 paper "A Picture's Worth: Digital Image Analysis and Forensics" the use of the Wavelet Transformation to detect image manipulation.
Krawetz briefly explains the science behind it: a suspect image is re-encoded using wavelets to approximate the image (aka the signal). The re-encode is repeated, but in each re-encode, an increasing percentage of available wavelets is used. A gallery of re-encodes of the original image is created, with each re-encode containing a different count of wavelets. Increasing the count of wavelets increases the sharpness and colour accuracy in the re-encoded image.
This forensic technique exploits a property of the wavelet transform: as the wavelet count increases, the components of a composite image tend to sharpen at different rates. This is the key to detecting photo fraud using the DWT.
The DWT can sometimes detect image fraud where an analysis of the error layer has failed to uncover anomalies. What Krawetz doesn't describe is the ease with which an amateur can implement the wavelet transform technique for image forensics.
The standard JPEG (1992) image standard utilises a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to shift the energy from the spatial domain to the frequency domain for compression. However, the little-used JPEG2000 (jp2) standard uses a Discrete Wavelet Transform instead. Tools for processing the jp2 standard can be used for this wavelet-based forensic technique.
The image rendering engines in most web browsers and many graphic tools cannot natively handle jp2 images, but the Open Source ImageMagick software suite has a range of tools and library support for jp2. The ImageMagick website documents wavelet-based encoding using the JPEG2000 image standard: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/jp2.php
Below is an example of an image composition of a vicsim.
email@example.com highlights the image manipulation and this is confirmed by the DWT forensic technique.

Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) Analysis
Notice how the neck remains fuzzy yet the necklace soon comes into focus as the utilisation of available wavelets is increased. This is compelling evidence of image manipulation.

PARIS — Prosecutors say a Polish diplomat has acknowledged ordering the killing of his mother-in-law, a Monaco real estate heiress, to profit from the inheritance.
The shooting of Helene Pastor and her chauffeur on May 6 has shaken up the exclusive Mediterranean principality.
Marseille Prosecutor Brice Robin said Friday that Monaco's honorary Polish consul, Wojciech Janowski, acknowledged plotting the killing "to stop the suffering" of his wife, Sylvia Pastor. He didn't elaborate.
The prosecutor said Sylvia Pastor had no idea about her husband's plot against her mother.
Robin said the motive appeared linked to inheritance money. He said Janowski paid a gym instructor 250,000 euros ($340,000) to find hit men and organize the killing.
He said the diplomat, the gym instructor and five others are being handed preliminary charges in the case.
