Anne, like the others, finds it difficult hiding in the Secret Annex. They can never go outside, and always have to be careful. It's very tense. Anne uses her diary to get her frustrations off her chest.
As well as the Frank family there are four other Jews in the Secret Annex: Hermann and Auguste van Pels with their son Peter, and Fritz Pfeffer. Four of Otto's employees help them. Everyone lives in constant fear of discovery. And it's certainly not easy for eight people to live in such close quarters.
From Monday July 6, 1942 the Frank family goes into hiding...
The hiding place at 263 Prinsengracht is relatively spacious. There is enough room for two families.
Eight people, living in extremely cramped quarters, in a stifling Secret Annex… the tension is unbearable...
The four helpers divide the responsibilities.
The people in hiding are on a tight schedule.
'Today I have nothing but dismal and depressing news to report...
People chose a wide variety of places to go into hiding.
Explore this subject on the visual timeline.
"The sun is shining, the sky is deep blue, there's a magnificent breeze, and I'm longing - really longing– for everything: conversation, freedom, friends, being alone."
Otto sets up a business in the Netherlands. After that, his family can come over too.
Edith has trouble settling down in the Netherlands.
Peter is a quiet boy who likes to work with his hands.
Fritz is a handsome, charming man.
Bep is a secretary for Otto's company Pectacon.

easyJet, a leading low-fare airline in Europe, wanted to offer new features without costly investment in on-premises infrastructure. To enhance its registration system, the airline implemented a hybrid cloud solution that includes a seating allocation application that runs on the Windows Azure platform. Now, easyJet has a more flexible, scalable infrastructure that it can use to introduce new features quickly and affordably. And these new features have boosted customer satisfaction.
"It was actually faster deploying to Windows Azure than it was to our own internal test environment in some cases. We can try new things quickly, with very low risk and cost."
Bert Craven Enterprise Architect, easyJet
Based in Luton, England, easyJet is the largest airline in the United Kingdom and the fourth-largest carrier in Europe. It operates 685 routes and sells 61 million tickets annually. Building on its reputation for providing great service at low cost, the airline wanted to improve the customer experience without adding staff or IT infrastructure.
Offering new features, including the ability for customers to choose their own seats, was a top priority. However, easyJet faced several challenges in implementing a new solution. The airline outsourced its IT infrastructure, and operated with a lean team of IT professionals. It needed a delivery platform that would be affordable, easy to manage, and highly scalable.
"We're really good at handling the kind of scale that involves huge sales and seasonal peaks," says Bert Craven, Enterprise Architect Manager at easyJet. "But it's more difficult to manage unpredictable factors like weather conditions and external industrial action. When those things occur, the parts of our infrastructure designed to give real-time information come under real pressure."
Initially, the airline looked at deploying a seat allocation solution on the same on-premises platform that it used for its reservation system. However, it discarded the idea when it realized that building a new, high-availability infrastructure across two data centers would be too costly and time-consuming, with too many uncertainties about scalability and workload.
easyJet wanted to explore new, low-risk options for expanding online services. "It's all about making travel easier and more affordable for our customers, while being able to deliver features quickly," says Heath Roylance, Senior Project Manager at easyJet. "We need to be really agile and adaptable."
The vision was to have easyJet agents roaming around check-in areas with mobile devices. While passengers could still drop bags at traditional fixed locations, they could also look for agents wearing bright orange easyJet shirts who would check them in if they hadn't already checked in on the Internet, print their boarding passes, check and tag their bags, and move them right to security without having to wait in a single line. Agents could even book a rental car for passengers or provide other services from the handheld device.
In 2010, easyJet had used Windows Azure Service Bus to make its business applications accessible to mobile customer service agents. Inspired by the project's success, the airline decided to use the Windows Azure platform and its platform-as-a-service offerings to enhance its reservation system. "We knew we could build an affordable solution quickly on Windows Azure," says Craven. "If we developed a workable application, we realized we could have an enterprise-scale version running immediately with minimal investment."
Using the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 development system, the company created and tested code that ran in simulated production environments on Windows Azure. easyJet launched its new cloud-based services in April 2012 on five routes and finished implementation eight months later. The solution includes the existing reservation system that runs on-premises and the seating allocation service that runs on Windows Azure.
Customers experience a seamless reservation process with the hybrid cloud booking solution, including finding flights, choosing seats, and purchasing tickets. The airline also offers a Windows 8 app for mobile devices. Hosted on Windows Azure, the FlightTracker app provides real-time flight information.
The airline plans to connect Windows Azure Active Directory with the airline's on-premises Active Directory Domain Services. easyJet also manages its on-premises infrastructure with Microsoft System Center 2012 and anticipates extending the solution to Windows Azure as well.
With Windows Azure, easyJet has gained a more flexible hybrid cloud infrastructure that increases scalability, accelerates time-to-market, and cuts costs. Equally important, the airline is improving customer satisfaction with new services.
With a hybrid cloud solution from Microsoft, easyJet has gained the flexibility it needs to implement new capabilities while taking advantage of existing infrastructure. "The key benefit to Windows Azure is that you can get more value out of your on-premises investment," explains Craven. "We've spent years building our reservation system, and we can extend it by adding new features in the cloud."
In addition to becoming more flexible, the company can also handle fluctuating workloads more easily. "The Windows Azure platform provides you with scale," says Craven. "It mitigates the unpredictability of launching a new app or feature that turns out to be what everyone was waiting for," he says. "So if yesterday you had 10,000 devices connecting, tomorrow you can handle two million. "
The company has also sped time-to-market by developing new applications in the cloud. "Our developers were using the same Visual Studio tools in the cloud that they used in the on-premises environment," says Craven. "It was actually faster deploying to Windows Azure than it was to our own internal test environment in some cases. We can try new things quickly, with very low risk and cost."
Management is also easier. "When we moved from our offices to a hosted data center, it took two years and cost millions of pounds," says Craven. "When we expanded from two data centers to four with Windows Azure, it took one afternoon and my credit card. We also look forward to using System Center 2012 to manage the cloud infrastructure in exactly the same way that we do our on-premises environment. It's all on the same interface."
By delivering new services faster and more affordably, easyJet is making its customers happier. "The faster we can drive change and try new things by using Windows Azure, the quicker we can arrive at the right combination of services that make the travel experience the best it can be," says Craven. "We're already seeing an improvement in customer satisfaction by improving our boarding processes."
The airline has always worked on enhancing its online services, and that hasn't changed. But with Windows Azure, the company can now focus on overcoming business challenges instead of IT hurdles. "We can offer customers more across their entire journey through mobile services with Windows Azure," says Roylance. "For example, it's very easy for customers to use mobile devices to purchase a seat, a bag, or any other product wherever and whenever they like."

How to spot faked photos
22nd May 2011 | 07:00
Manipulating photos is easy - spotting the fakery much less so
How to spot faked photos
Like it or not, photographic manipulation is now easier and the results better than ever before. Usually, the alterations are fairly benign - removing red-eye or fixing the light balance, for example - but sometimes the change is designed to affect our emotions and our understanding.
Given that we're bombarded with images throughout the day, how can we teach ourselves to recognise the fakery when we come across it?
Faked images have been with us since the start of the photographic era. Who can forget the five photos of the Cottingley Fairies from 1917 that duped the author of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?
With today's cynical eye, the photos are amateurish - laughable, even - but they did fool a lot of people for some time. Sceptic James Randi came up with the proof in 1978: the fairies were traced from drawings in Princess Mary's Gift Book (a publication from 1917) and mounted on cardboard.
Back in the pre-digital days, modifying photographs by removing existing artifacts or adding elements that weren't there was hard work. There were therefore more photos where the fakery was due to a staged subject (Robert Wilson's infamous 'Surgeon's Photograph' of the Loch Ness monster, or Robert Doisneau's famous 'Le Baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville' rather than a deliberately altered original (like Yevgeny Khaldei's 'Raising a Flag over the Reichstag', where the smoke was enhanced and a (presumably looted) watch on a soldier's wrist was edited out of the picture).
Digital manipulation
However, as soon as programs like Adobe Photoshop arrived on the scene and digital cameras became affordable enough for everyday use, the propensity for digital manipulation of photographs took off.
Alongside this explosion of digital photography, we saw the creation of a specialised field called digital forensics, which attempts to uncover instances of deliberate falsification in digital images. It's important to remember that photos are often altered for simple aesthetic reasons.
When taking a photo of a group with a flash, it's pretty certain that some of the people will exhibit what's known as 'red-eye', where the light from the flash is reflected off the retina and seen in the image as a red spot on the pupil. This is simple to fix (change the colour from red to black), and many photo-editing programs include this functionality as a matter of course.
Many modern cameras are also able to manipulate images to remove red-eye, alongside their capability for face-detection.
Falsifying skill
There's also the ability to modify the white balance of the photo, or to adjust the brightness and contrast to create a more pleasing image. Again, it's not really falsifying the photograph (more falsifying the photographer's skill), and even in the pre-digital era, photographers would do the same kind of processing in the dark room.
Another popular visual fix for photos is to crop the image to remove any jarring or distracting elements along the edges. That way the viewer's attention is concentrated on what the photographer wants to say with the picture rather than extraneous detail. This is hardly a problem unless, for example, the picture is of a house for sale and the cropping removes the derelict car in the neighbour's drive.
The clone brush
Of course, all these changes are fairly benign in the grand scheme of things, and I'm sure we've all been guilty of them to a greater or lesser extent. How about this next one: using the clone brush in your favourite photo editor to remove that intrusive telegraph pole and wires from an otherwise perfect landscape? Yes, guilty.
If the cloning has been done carefully, this kind of change is hard to detect visually (unless you know the original view, for example, or can find similar photos taken from the same vantage point online), and can be very hard to detect without some kind of software. We'll take a look a little later on to see how this kind of change could be spotted.
Professor Hany Farid, of the Department of Computer Science in Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, has been researching how we can visually spot changes in photographs. Although we as humans are extremely good at face recognition, quickly understanding a scene, and determining direction and speed of motion, it turns out we're worse at spotting problems with lighting and shadows, and distortions caused by perspective.
Lighting and perspective
This is somewhat unfortunate, since the first step in judging the authenticity of a photograph is to check shadows, lighting and perspective. Since our visual acuity is easily fooled, we have to pay attention.
Take, for example, the rather disturbing 'Accidental Tourist' photo that made the email rounds just after 9/11. It purportedly shows a man standing on the observation deck just before a plane hit one of the World Trade Center towers, but if you can avoid the initial sense of horror this creepy photo gives you and look at it more carefully, you'll start to notice incongruities in the various shadows.
For example, both the plane and the man are 'nose-on' in perspective. The man has some very sharp shadows on his face - dark enough that it's hard to determine any details about his right side - yet the plane looks as if the sun is directly overhead: there are virtually no shadows on the upper surface. So, our initial revulsion means that we don't pay attention to the clues that indicate fakery in the image.
Professor Farid points out that there is a simple technique for detecting incongruities with regard to shadows. Because light travels in a straight line, you can easily draw a straight line between a point on an object being lit and the same point on its shadow. Extend the line in the direction of the light source. All such extended lines in an image should meet at some point, or in the case of the sun, should all be parallel to each other.
The problem is finding some obvious point of the object and the same point on its shadow.
Follow the light
Another technique that can help you identify manipulated photos is to look at highlights. Are the highlights on surfaces all 'pointing' in the same direction as the assumed light source? A line perpendicular to any highlight's surface should point towards the light source.
If you notice that these perpendiculars are pointing in different directions, something's not right. Of great use here are the highlights in people's eyes: if you zoom in, these highlights should all be in the same direction.
When you're looking for altered photos, also keep an eye out for obvious repetitions in the image. One of the most famous examples of this (mainly because it got past the photo desk at Reuters with no problem before being called out by the world at large) is the photo by Adnan Hajj of smoke over Beirut after an Israeli bombing raid. The smoke from two separate plumes shows distinct patterns of duplication, probably through use of a cloning tool; it's so badly done, it looks obviously fake.
Professor Farid is trying to extend this type of visual check into a software tool that tries to spot cloned cells (that is, blocks of copied pixels) in a photo.
Understanding formats
The images we see online are usually in JPG format. This format is extremely popular, mainly because of its small file sizes and near-universality. Many point-and-shoot cameras only record their photos in JPG format, but larger more expensive DSLRs have an option to save images in either RAW or JPG format (or both at the same time).
The most important point to understand about JPGs is that they're compressed to create the smallest possible file sizes. Not only that, but the compression used is a lossy format; in other words, the image we see in a JPG file is not exactly the same as the original photo, because some information has been discarded.
If you like, information is averaged out in a strict mathematical way to make the image data more compressible. What this means is that, although a JPG file is a very close representation of the original image, it's not quite the same. If a JPG is then saved again, the errors caused by the compression format are multiplied and become even more visible. A third-generation JPG is even worse.
This is why the recommendation when you're editing a photo is to only work on and change the original image (and use 'Save as', of course). Never work on a second or third-generation JPG - the smearing will become obvious quite quickly.
How to identify edited JPGs
How does this behaviour help when you're trying to identify edited photos? Imagine we have a JPG file, and we re-save it using our photo editing software to give two versions: the first generation and the second. We make no other changes - it's the same image at the same size. The two images will look very similar to the naked eye.
Now we 'subtract' the second image from the first. The second compression will produce a set of data that's very close, but not exactly the same as the original. This means, in effect, that the subtraction of the pixel values will produce numbers close to, but not exactly zero.
Since zero is black, we get a darkish image with random 'noise', and that randomness will be spread evenly across the difference image. Areas that encapsulate edges will be coloured differently, but still will show even, random noise.
FIGURE 1:A JPG photo saved directly from a RAW photo from a Canon Rebel XTi
Figure 1 shows an original image (it was converted to JPG format from RAW) and Figure 2 the shows difference image created by comparing it with a second-generation copy. As you can see, it's just random noise, evenly spread throughout the image.
FIGURE 2:The Image Error Analysis image from the photo in Figure 1. Note the even, random noise
What researcher Dr Neal Krawetz discovered is that, if the image is altered, the altered areas become much brighter in the difference image - there will be visible 'hot spots'. This happens because the alteration leaves artifacts in the pixel data, which are magnified by the compression process.
Consider the workflow: you have a JPG, you make changes to it and save it (it is therefore a second-generation image). Krawetz's process then creates a third-generation image in order to calculate the difference. The changes show up more. At least that's the theory.
In my own experiments (for example, cloning out the person in Figure 1), it's still hard to discern changes, Projects Editor Alex Cox asked me to try out this theory on some 'after' images he provided (see 'Spotting the fakes', below).
All in all, forensic image analysis is in its infancy, with much work needed to better what sharp-eyed viewers can do. And it's an arms race: with Adobe Photoshop's automated tools for touching up photos, it's becoming harder and harder to spot the fakes.
Spotting the fakes: Stourhead
1. Inspect the photo
This is lovely image showing a view of the changing autumn leaves at Stourhead in Wiltshire. My first thought is to see whether the reflections in the lake show something that's not in the rest of the photo. Has the editor cloned out some people, or removed a car from the photo, perhaps? Note that even though it's autumn, there are no leaves visible on the grass in the foreground, but there are some elsewhere.
2. Zoom in, if possible
If you have the image available in a large enough resolution, you can zoom in on areas of interest identified during the visual inspection. Here, for example, I can see that there's a strange-looking blue reflection in the lake by the ruin that's not matched by anything at the ruin. Also, coincidentally in the same area, there are some obvious masked-out splotches that might have been ducks on the water.
3. Use the JPG image error analysis tool
Make sure the photo is online, then go to http://errorlevelanalysis.com. I cropped part of the foreground to the right (the tool only accepts small photos) and fed it in to give the difference image above.
The randomness isn't even - the grassy area has darker splotches (possible evidence of a cloning brush). Note the hot spots along the dividing line between water and land: something's been changed here too.
Spotting the fakes: Pulteney Bridge
1. Inspect the photo
This is a shot of Pulteney Bridge in Bath. This time the reflections in the water aren't as valuable: the water is too turbulent. The most obvious edit here would be to remove some people, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Perhaps the changes (if any) are more subtle. Since it's a well-known landmark, I pulled up some images from Flickr to cross-check - has the editor removed or added anything architectural?
2. Zoom in
Having compared this image with another shot taken from the same angle, it seems that the building on the right has gained an extra window. Notice that when zoomed in, the added window (on the right) looks exactly like the real window (on the left).
Notice another thing - the editor has copied just a bit too much of the wall: there is a speck of black to the left of the cloned window that's been duplicated from the drainpipe.
3. Zoom in again
My find on Flickr shows me there's been another, more subtle change. Just above the bridge roof on the right, in the distance, there should be a church tower. It's missing from the doctored photo, and at high magnification you can just see the edit.
It must be noted, of course, that I shouldn't trust the Flickr photo either - it might have been edited too - but should find another image taken by someone else to double-check.

Gavin DeGraw Hospitalized After Assault
"Singer Gavin DeGraw was assaulted early Monday in New York City and taken by ambulance to the emergency room.
DeGraw, 34, whose hits include "I Don't Want to Be" and "Not Over You," was in stable condition at Bellevue Hospital with a broken nose and cuts to his face, say police.
The assault took place at about 4:30 a.m. in Manhattan, police say. The New York Post reports he was out with friends when he was attacked by a "pack of thugs" on the street and then hit by a taxi as he stumbled away.
His reps say in a statement: "Gavin DeGraw was assaulted … and was taken to the emergency room at Bellevue Hospital by ambulance. He is currently under observation. We have no additional information at this time."
McGraw has a new album due out in September and has been on tour with Train and Maroon 5.

the lot of these sound like cosmetic upgrades. I'm hoping Mircosoft has something really incredible to show us. Only thing holding me back from the Lumia 920 is WP's lack of features
4. Ueliton (Posts: 34; Member since: 29 Aug 2012)
Yes indeed... but I believe they have, or it won´t justify the secrecy over the platform so far.
2. Schmao (Posts: 302; Member since: 05 Jul 2009)
Oh yeah. It also just feels like WP8 is pretty much catching up to Android and iOS, but not really adding any new interesting features. I am stuck between buying the Note 2 or HTC 8X (since I'm on T-mobile) and I'm just trying to see which will give me the most for my money.
7. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Get the NOTE II, you won't regret it.
9. Lboogey6 (Posts: 266; Member since: 31 Jan 2012)
Or the s3 if the note is too big
3. redmd (Posts: 896; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
you will only want these if you really really want windows phone interface. all of the features can be found on Android. I find less reason to switch to windows. lag can't be found on jelly bean.

I'm really thinking about getting the lumia 920, I liked the 900 but it was just missing a few key features. Looks like its getting most of them.
8. really (Posts: 3; Member since: 27 Oct 2012)
I own the lumia 800 and regret it.
i should go to galaxy s-II at that moment.

There are much better phones then the s2 to get, besides wp8 looks good and the 920 matches other flagships
11. md227a (Posts: 126; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
Well I have the S2 & S3 and iPhone I like giving all devices a far shot. Like I said I liked my lumia but it just missed a few core features that I have gotten used to on iOS and Android.

Avcorp Wins $24.7M Judgment Against Cessna
Vancouver-based Avcorp won a $24.7 million award yesterday from Cessna Aircraft due to damages suffered as a result of the Wichita aircraft manufacturer's transitioning contracted production work from Avcorp. The two parties could not come to terms in mediation and negotiations after the December 2010 announcement about the transition of Avcorp's production work to Cessna, so the matter was referred to binding arbitration. The arbitrator ruled in favor of Avcorp and all counterclaims from Cessna were denied.

Sanger, CA
The Sanger Depot Museum anchors the town's industrial, social, and cultural history in a multi-faceted display of what life in northern California was like at the time of early settlement. The Brehler Block and the Pioneer Room are two displays that show what the streets and people of early Sanger looked like. In addition, the Victorian Room takes a closer look at what the comfortable life was like for the industrial class in Sanger. The museum also honors the indigenous heritage of the people who first lived in the area, the Yokut Indians. As a bonus, this display shows some of the finest basketry collection in the United States.
Sanger is not shy when it comes to capitalizing on northern California's year round temperate climate. There are over 10 parks available for use and a strong focus on outdoors team sports for all ages, including softball, volleyball, and basketball. Sanger also hosts a yearly Blossom Trail Run in March, which makes it a great place for runners to hone their short distance skills. More of a lone ranger? Try a 13 mile bike ride down the nearby Sugar Pine trail, which is paved and flat. This is also a great distance for running aficionados to perfect that half-marathon time.
The city of Sanger is an incredibly affordable place to eat that does not skimp on the choices. In the town itself, you will find several low-key chain establishments, but you will also find a surprising number of traditional Mexican and Italian restaurants with a humble but authentic presence in the city. The Mexican restaurants are in and of themselves diverse, ranging from general cuisine to the more eat-on-the-go or casual corner taqueria. For those with a sweet tooth, there are also a handful of ice cream or yogurt parlors in town, such as the local hot spot chain known as Foster's Freeze.

Hawker Beechcraft yesterday secured more time to solve its debt problems through a restructuring plan, with lenders granting a 90-day forbearance agreement. The move staves off the immediate threat of a filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection–a move that has been widely expected by industry analysts. The U.S. manufacturer announced it had "reached an agreement with certain lenders that will provide the company with approximately $120 million of additional liquidity."
