A security feature for an identification document comprises a base document layer, including a first image printed with a covert ink, and a personalized image relating to a bearer of the document (such as a facial photo) printed over the first image. The personalized image is printed with an ink that is incompatible with the covert ink such that the first image becomes overt within the personalized image upon printing of the personalized image. This feature creates an interlocking relationship between the covert image, which may be pre-printed prior to personalization on card stock, and personalized information printed over the covert image. Variations of this feature can be made in which the first image is not covert, yet still creates an interlocking relationship due to ink incompatibilities. Further, the second image may depict information other than personal information.
1. A security feature for an identification document, the feature comprising:
a base document layer, including a first image printed with a first ink having a first surface tension, the first ink being covert to a human viewer under normal, ambient lighting conditions, the first image bonding to the base document layer; and
a personalized image relating to a bearer of the identification document printed over the first image, the personalized image comprising a second ink that is incompatible with the first ink the second ink having a surface tension which is higher than the first surface tension of the first ink, wherein the second ink does not wet out on the first image printed such that the personalized image does not bond to the first image but does bond to the base document layer in areas where the first image is printed and wherein the printed areas of the first image are embedded within the personalized image and become overt and visible to a human viewer upon printing of the personalized image.

The invention relates to secure documents and specifically relates to a security feature for secure documents such as identification documents.
As counterfeiters become increasingly sophisticated in creating counterfeit secure documents (either from scratch or modifying valid documents), there is need for increasingly effective security measures to thwart them. One way to thwart counterfeiters is to insert features into documents that are difficult to reproduce. In some cases, these features are intended to be covert so that it is difficult for the counterfeiter to even identify their presence on the document. As an additional layer of security, these features should have a linking relationship with other features that interlock the features to increase the difficulty in accurately reproducing the relationship and show evidence of tampering when the relationship is broken. The attributes identified above are needed for a broad spectrum of secure documents, and are particularly useful in identification documents. To provide context for forensic security features in identification documents, a description of these documents and methods for creating them follows below.
Secure Documents
Secure documents, and in particular, identification documents (hereafter �ID documents�) play a critical role in today's society. One example of an ID document is an identification card (�ID card�). ID documents are used on a daily basis�to prove identity, to verify age, to access a secure area, to evidence driving privileges, to cash a check, and so on. Airplane passengers are required to show an ID document during check in, security screening and prior to boarding their flight. In addition, because we live in an ever-evolving cashless society, ID documents are used to make payments, access an automated teller machine (ATM), debit an account, or make a payment, etc.
For the purposes of this disclosure, ID documents are broadly defined herein, and include, e.g., credit cards, bank cards, phone cards, passports, driver's licenses, network access cards, employee badges, debit cards, security cards, smart cards (e.g., cards that include one more semiconductor chips, such as memory devices, microprocessors, and microcontrollers), contact cards, contactless cards, proximity cards (e.g., radio frequency (RFID) cards), visas, immigration documentation, national ID cards, citizenship cards, social security cards, security badges, certificates, identification cards or documents, voter registration cards, police ID cards, border crossing cards, legal instruments, security clearance badges and cards, gun permits, gift certificates or cards, membership cards or badges, etc.
Many types of identification documents carry certain items of information which relate to the identity of the bearer. Examples of such information include name, address, birth date, signature and photographic image; the cards or documents may in addition carry other variable data (i.e., data specific to a particular card or document, for example an employee number) and invariant data (i.e., data common to a large number of cards, for example the name of an employer). All of the cards described above will be generically referred to as �ID documents�.
Referring to
To facilitate printing of data on the card structure, an image receiving layer is applied to the card structure prior to printing for some printing technologies. One type of printing technology that uses an image receiving layer is D2T2 printing. U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,066,594 and 5,334,573 describe image receiving layers for D2T2 printing. A sheet or layer which is comprised of a polymer system of which at least one polymer is capable of receiving image-forming materials from a donor sheet upon the application of heat. The polymer system of the receiving sheet or layer is incompatible or immiscible with the polymer of the donor sheet at the receiving sheet/donor sheet interface to minimize adhesion between the donor sheet and the receiving sheet or layer during printing. The polymer system of the receiving sheet or layer can be substantially free from release agents, such as silicone-based oils, poly(organosiloxanes), fluorinated polymers, fluorine- or phosphate-containing surfactants, fatty acid surfactants and waxes. Binder materials for the dyes are immiscible with the polymer system of the image-receiving layer. The most common image-receiving layer polymers are polyester, polycaprolactone and poly(vinyl chloride). Processes for forming such image-receiving layers are also described in detail in these patents; in most cases, the polymer(s) used to form the image-receiving layer are dissolved in an organic solvent, such as methyl ethyl ketone, dichloromethane or chloroform, and the resultant solution coated on to the polymer layer using conventional coating apparatus, and the solvent evaporated to form the image-receiving layer. However, if desired the image-receiving layer can be applied to the polymer layer by extrusion casting, or by slot, gravure or other known coating methods.
Other forms of image receiving layers include image receiving layers for Xerographic printing and inkjet printing. These image receiving layers are applied to substrates such as paper or plastic and comprise materials that enhance reception of ink or dye to the substrate. Image receiving layers for Xerographic printing are sometimes referred to as �laser lock� or �toner lock.�
To protect the information that is printed, an additional layer of transparent overlaminate 24 can be coupled to the card blank and printed information. Illustrative examples of usable materials for overlaminates include biaxially oriented polyester or other optically clear durable plastic film.
�Laminate� and �overlaminate� include, but are not limited to film and sheet products. Laminates used in documents include substantially transparent polymers. Examples of laminates used in documents include polyester, polycarbonate, polystyrene, cellulose ester, polyolefin, polysulfone, and polyamide. Laminates can be made using either an amorphous or biaxially oriented polymer. The laminate can comprise a plurality of separate laminate layers, for example a boundary layer and/or a film layer.
The degree of transparency of the laminate can, for example, be dictated by the information contained within the identification document, the particular colors and/or security features used, etc. The thickness of the laminate layers can vary and is typically about 1-20 mils. Lamination of any laminate layer(s) to any other layer of material (e.g., a core layer) can be accomplished using known lamination processes.
In ID documents, a laminate can provide a protective covering for the printed substrates and a level of protection against unauthorized tampering (e.g., a laminate would have to be removed to alter the printed information and then subsequently replaced after the alteration.). Various lamination processes are disclosed in assignee's U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,783,024, 6,007,660, 6,066,594, and 6,159,327. Other lamination processes are disclosed, e.g., in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,283,188 and 6,003,581. A co-extruded lamination technology appears in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/692,463. Each of these U.S. Patents and applications is herein incorporated by reference.
The material(s) from which a laminate is made may be transparent, but need not be. Laminates can include synthetic resin-impregnated or coated base materials composed of successive layers of material, bonded together via heat, pressure, and/or adhesive. Laminates also includes security laminates, such as a transparent laminate material with proprietary security technology features and processes, which protects documents of value from counterfeiting, data alteration, photo substitution, duplication (including color photocopying), and simulation by use of materials and technologies that are commonly available. Laminates also can include thermosetting materials, such as epoxy.
Manufacture Environments
Commercial systems for issuing ID documents are of two main types, namely so-called �central� issue (CI), and so-called �on-the-spot� or �over-the-counter� (OTC) issue.
CI type ID documents are not immediately provided to the bearer, but are later issued to the bearer from a central location. For example, in one type of CI environment, a bearer reports to a document station where data is collected, the data are forwarded to a central location where the card is produced, and the card is forwarded to the bearer, often by mail. Another illustrative example of a CI assembling process occurs in a setting where a driver renews her license by mail or over the Internet, then receives a drivers license card through the mail.
A CI assembling process is more of a bulk process facility, where many cards are produced in a centralized facility, one after another. (For example, picture a setting where a driver passes a driving test, but then receives her license in the mail from a CI facility a short time later. The CI facility may process thousands of cards in a continuous manner.).
Centrally issued identification documents can be produced from digitally stored information and generally comprise an opaque core material (also referred to as �substrate�), such as paper or plastic, sandwiched between two or more layers of clear plastic laminate, such as polyester, to protect the aforementioned items of information from wear, exposure to the elements and tampering. U.S. Pat. No. 6,817,530, which is hereby incorporated by reference, describes approaches for manufacturing identification documents in a central issue process.
In contrast to CI identification documents, OTC identification documents are issued immediately to a bearer who is present at a document-issuing station. An OTC assembling process provides an ID document �on-the-spot�. An example of an OTC assembling process is a Department of Motor Vehicles (�DMV�) setting where a driver's license is issued to a person, on the spot, after a successful exam. In some instances, the very nature of the OTC assembling process results in small, sometimes compact, printing and card assemblers for printing the ID document.
OTC identification documents of the types mentioned above can take a number of forms, depending on cost and desired features. Some OTC ID documents comprise highly plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) or have a composite structure with polyester laminated to 0.5-4.0 mil (13-104 .mu.m) poly(vinyl chloride) film on the outside of typical PVC or Composite cards, which provides a suitable image receiving layer for heat transferable dyes which form a photographic image, together with any variant or invariant data required for the identification of the bearer. These data are subsequently protected to varying degrees by clear, thin (0.125-0.250 mil, 3-6 .mu.m) overlay patches applied at the printhead, holographic hot stamp foils (0.125-0.250 mil 3-6 .mu.m), or a clear polyester laminate (0.5-10 mil, 13-254 .mu.m) supporting common security features. These last two types of protective foil or laminate sometimes are applied at a laminating station separate from the printhead. The choice of laminate dictates the degree of durability and security imparted to the system in protecting the image and other data. One form of overlay is referred to as a �transferred panel� or �O-panel.� This type of panel refers to a panel in the print ribbon that is transferred to the document with the use of the printhead.
The invention provides security features for secure documents, including features that enable verification. The invention also provides methods for making the security features, document structures including these features, and methods for evaluating these features in suspect documents.
One aspect of the invention is a security feature for an identification document. The feature comprises a base document layer, including a first image printed with a covert ink, and a personalized image relating to a bearer of the document (such as a facial photo) printed over the first image. The personalized image is printed with an ink that is incompatible with the covert ink such that the first image becomes overt within the personalized image upon printing of the personalized image. This feature creates an interlocking relationship between the covert image, which may be pre-printed prior to personalization on card stock, and personalized information printed over the covert image. Variations of this feature can be made in which the first image is not covert, yet still creates an interlocking relationship due to ink incompatibilities. Further, the second image may depict information other than personal information.
Another aspect of the invention is a method for making a security feature for an identification document. The method provides a base document layer, prints a first image on the base document layer, captures personal information of a document bearer, and prints over the first image a personalized image relating to a bearer of the document based on the captured personal information. The personalized image is printed with an ink that is incompatible with material used to apply the first image to the base document layer such that the first image is visible within the personalized image.
Another aspect of the invention is a method of verifying an identification document. This method scans an identification document that includes document stock attributes embedded in personalized information on the document. The document stock attributes and the personalized information have an interlocking relationship to facilitate verification of the document. The method extracts information embedded in the personalized information, and evaluates the interlocking relationship between the embedded information and the document stock attributes. The document stock attributes can include attributes of the ink used to create the document stock, attributes of the document stock (paper or polymer attributes, embedded forensic chemical compositions, taggant signatures, etc.), issuer information (such as issuer identity, issuer location, time and place of manufacture, lot number, printer device information, etc.).
Additional features will become apparent with reference to the following detailed description and accompanying drawings.
The advantages, features, and aspects of embodiments of the invention will be more fully understood in conjunction with the following detailed description and accompanying drawings, wherein:
Of course, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, with emphasis rather being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention. In the drawings, like reference numbers indicate like elements or steps. Further, throughout this application, certain indicia, information, identification documents, data, etc., may be shown as having a particular cross sectional shape (e.g., rectangular) but that is provided by way of example and illustration only and is not limiting, nor is the shape intended to represent the actual resultant cross sectional shape that occurs during manufacturing of identification documents.
An image 104 a-c is printed on the substrate. In one embodiment, this image 104 a-c is a preprinted, covert image printed on ID card stock. Covert, in this context, refers to a material that is substantially imperceptible to a human viewer under normal, ambient lighting conditions (e.g., illumination in the visible band). For example, in one embodiment, a graphic of the issuer is printed in a substantially imperceptible UV ink. For some temporary ID documents, this ink comprises a UV lacquer printed with an offset press on a security paper substrate. The image may include fixed or variable information of the issuer or bearer. Preferably, the image is unique to the issuer and has unique attributes that enable the attributes of the blank ID card stock to be interlocked with other information printed on the card (e.g., such as personalized information gathered from a prospective bearer at enrollment).
A second image 106 a-c is printed over the first image 104 a-c using an incompatible ink to create an interlocking security feature. This ink is incompatible because it does not wet out on the first image due to the differences in surface tension of the inks. For example, the surface tension of the ink of the first image is lower relative to the second ink. While surfactants are sometimes added to inks to lower their surface tension and make them wet out more effectively on other inks or materials, the ink used to overprint the second image on the first is specifically selected to have a higher surface tension in our embodiment. For example in one embodiment, we print a higher surface tension, water-based ink with an ink jet printer over the first image printed with a lower surface tension UV ink. The water-based ink does not wet out on the pre-printed UV ink, but instead, beads up and runs off in the areas where the first image is printed. This creates an effect as shown in
Other combinations of inks may be chosen to have the desired incompatibility properties that create the interlocking effect described above. Inks for the preprint and overprinted images may be selected from a group consisting of UV, solvent, water, or wax-based inks with the relative surface tension selected to minimize the wetting out of the overprinted image on the preprinted image.
The second image 106 a-c preferably depicts personal information, such as a photo of the bearer, in the embodiment, but may alternatively convey other personal or variable information.
As shown in
Examples of this information derived from the document stock include attributes of the preprinted image and attributes of the substrate on which it is printed. Attributes of the preprinted image include digital data embedded in the first image and data conveyed in the spatial pattern of the first image. In both cases, this digital data may be carried in a machine readable data carrier such as a digital watermark or bar code encoded in the first image. The digital watermark may be steganographically embedded in the first image using techniques described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,122,403 and 6,614,914, which are hereby incorporated by reference. In particular, a digital data message, such as an issuer identifier or document identifier (which also may serve as an index to a database entry for the document including additional document and issuer information) is error correction encoded, scrambled, mapped to locations within a host signal, and used to modify features at those locations to embed the digital data.
Additional attributes of the preprinted image include attributes of the ink, such as ratio of compounds or taggants that are included in it, optical properties such as responses to particular types of illumination that create a unique optical signature (e.g., IR or UV fluorescing properties, such as response wavelength and/or decay times after activation), thermal characteristics (thermochromic ink signature), or magnetic characteristics (unique magnetic fingerprint).
Attributes of the substrate include paper or polymer attributes (such as a unique fingerprint of the paper fiber or polymer structure), embedded forensic chemical compositions, taggant signatures, etc.
These attributes of the document stock are embedded in the overprinted image, preferably using steganographic techniques, such as digital watermarking as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,122,403 and 6,614,914.
Having described and illustrated the principles of the technology with reference to specific implementations, it will be recognized that the technology can be implemented in many other, different, forms, and in many different environments.
The technology disclosed herein can be used in combination with other technologies. Also, instead of ID documents, the inventive techniques can be employed with product tags, product packaging, labels, business cards, bags, charts, smart cards, maps, labels, etc. The term ID document is broadly defined herein to include these tags, maps, labels, packaging, cards, etc.
It should be understood that, in the Figures of this application, in some instances, a plurality of method steps may be shown as illustrative of a particular method, and a single method step may be shown as illustrative of a plurality of a particular method steps. It should be understood that showing a plurality of a particular element or step is not intended to imply that a system or method implemented in accordance with the invention must comprise more than one of that element or step, nor is it intended by illustrating a single element or step that the invention is limited to embodiments having only a single one of that respective elements or steps. In addition, the total number of elements or steps shown for a particular system element or method is not intended to be limiting; those skilled in the art will recognize that the number of a particular system element or method steps can, in some instances, be selected to accommodate the particular user needs.

Cool but keep in mind that your making a game and not a movie. What do
gamers want ?? You understood they want cutscenes but behind does cutscenes
you need a story because just aliens running around doesn't making any
sense. Then what do gamers want before thinking about anything else ?? a
good gameplay experiense.(not watching cutscenes all the times). Its good
you have cutscene and you know how to make em but make a story and then a
game and also don't forget to make the gameplay interesting.

Cognitive impairment is an important topic for longitudinal studies of aging, and one that directly affects ability to participate. We study bias in measured cognition due to non-response in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). The much greater use of proxy interviews for impaired respondents in the HRS virtually eliminates attrition bias in measured cognition, whereas there is a noticeable bias in ELSA where proxies are infrequently used. Using Medicare claims data for the HRS we are able to compare cognitive impairment among dropouts post-attrition with that for continuing participants. There again we see the use of proxy interviews virtually eliminates a bias that would otherwise appear.

Put extra garden tomatoes in a plastic freezer bag and store in your freezer. To use in soup, stew or sauce, just hold the frozen tomatoes under warm water, and the skins will slip right off. Drop the whole skinless tomatoes into the pot—they'll break up during cooking, which also saves time chopping. —Elaine T., Palmetto, Florida

SPIRIT DSP, the world's #1 voice and video over IP engines provider serving more than 1 billion users in 100+ countries, has announced today that Indian telecom operator Infotel, a subsidiary of Reliance Group, one of India's top three private sector business houses with annual turnover of more than $60 billion, has licensed TeamSpiritTM Voice&Video Engine Mobile.
Reliance intends to invest $10 billion in its LTE network and has turned to SPIRIT's software products for voice and video calls over LTE instead of waiting for phone makers who are slow in offering handsets transmitting voice and video in 4G networks. The lack of mobile devices supporting VoLTE (Voice-over-LTE) drives a growing number of carriers to implement a software-only product, which is more flexible, scalable and offers a quicker time to market. SPIRIT engines plays a key role in providing HD voice and video quality as a part of IMS/RCS service infrastructure on popular Android and iOS smartphones and tablet PCs, as well as PCs with Mac OS or Windows.
By using SPIRIT engines, Reliance will be able to offer its subscribers high-quality services as an alternative to Skype over cellular networks and attract new high-value subscribers that used services from other operators and commercial OTT service providers.
"While the number of LTE networks is growing, the quantity of mobile devices models supporting VoLTE is extremely small. LTE phones and tablets mainly support only data transmission over an LTE modem, while voice and video are going via 2G/3G network. It's an akward situation for mobile operators who had hoped that phone OEMs would flood the market with 4G LTE-ready phones," said SPIRIT's VP Alex Kravchenko. "Carriers in dozens of countries now plan to or already deploy VVoIP services under their own brands in an effort to stop subscribers from switching to OTT providers, such as Skype, Viber and WhatsApp. The TeamSpirit software engines enable the transmission of voice and video packets via LTE modems and help operators use mobile devices available in today's market. Reliance's decision to follow the growing trend is a good example of carriers' flexibility to create their own competitive services faster. It's The Fastest who wins in today highly competitive technology world, not The Biggest one."
About TeamSpirit Voice and Video Engine
TeamSpirit Voice&Video Engines support both RCS-e and VoLTE. The engines include resource-efficient HD voice and video codecs, echo and noise cancelling (AEC), automatic voice and video rate selection (ARS), packets delays mitigation, speech enhancement, network adaptation, voice and video synchronization, a dozen of standard digital telephony functions and more, in addition to a dozen of ITU-T standard G.7xx and H.26x codecs included in the engine. SPIRIT also offers its own industry leading patented IP-MR™ (IETF 6262) adaptive and error-resilient HD voice codec that has been selected by Tier1 telecom operators to deliver HD voice to dozens of millions of their subscribers. TeamSpirit uses H.264SVC and VP8 video codecs. TeamSpirit Voice&Video Conferencing Engine is an additional server-side module bringing all the power of TeamSpirit's robust high-quality calling to centralized multi-point communication scenarios.
TeamSpirit Conferencing powers SPIRIT's VideoMostTM software for massively multipoint videoconferencing. SPIRIT video engines are available on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and allow users of smartphones, tablets and notebooks across different OSs to make video calls from iPhone to Android smartphones to PC, as well as participate in HD videoconferencing with automatic quality adaptation to specific network conditions, screen size and processing power.

A teenager was shot to death and two men were wounded when a dance floor stabbing escalated into a melee outside a downtown Los Angeles nightclub.
Police say violence erupted at about 1:30 a.m. Friday at the LA Crash Mansion, a newly reopened and renamed nightclub at Olympic Boulevard and Grand Avenue that caters to an 18-and-over crowd.
Detectives say a young woman was stabbed in the arm on the dance
floor and the crowd began to leave in large numbers.
Lt. Paul Vernon says "that's when a man with a gun started shooting at other men in the parking lot."
Joseph Cosina was shot multiple times. The 19-year-old Downey man died later at California Hospital. Two other men and the woman who was stabbed were treated at the hospital for non-life threatening wounds.

The Sunset - brief short storyHe was quiet, standing at the railing of the balcony, staring out at the setting sun. A certain balcony that held so many memories; with her. Her. She was gone. Forever. And there was no chance she was coming back. A hollow ache resounded continuously like a gong, painfully, inside his chest. He had given up trying to restrain it. It was too powerful. Instead he had started to give in, sink into the darkness, face never moving, and thoughts never shifting. They never wandered from the image of the face of his loved one. But it was slowly fading from memory. Not as sharp as the real thing. Was this what it was like to truly lose someone?The door slid open behind him but he didn't stir, nor pay any attention to his newfound company. The blonde walked up to him, just as solemn as he, and scanned her hazel eyes over his stone face, frowning, but not surprised. She sighed, her eyes glazed over with tears. Her face was slightly red and her eyes bloodshot, just like his brown ones. He had be
Auburn HeartDea ran swiftly to the edge of the forest, ignoring the call from her guardian, Aunt Fiona, for her to come back. Dea leapt over a branch in her old black sneakers, rage and distress stirring inside her. As soon as she past the first tree she didn't stop, her bright, wavy auburn hair billowing behind her. Dea ran faster, not caring about the new scratch on her temple from the sharp branches that stuck out. Tears blinded her eyes and her lip trembled, threatening to let out a sob.The dark forest had always calmed her down soother her about her problems and her worries. She reached the denser part of the forest, overlooking an open horizon, the late afternoon sun low in the sky, casting an orange glow. The trees were old and stout, only a few dead leaves clinging to the branches. It was almost winter and Dea missed the vibrant colours of Autumn.A fairly large sized hill blended against the sky, long grass covering it like green silky fur. Dea marched up its slope with stiff, ang
Evoking Truth - Short StoryDark, mouldy, scaly hands clawed at her, ripping at her skin, tearing at her hair. Dea screamed and shrieked, trying to pry the disgusting green numerous hands off of her. Darkness surrounded her in a million different shades, even the yellow looked forbidding.Ink appeared to splash across the canvas of her vision and all other colours were blotched out, only leaving black to glare at her ominously. Dea clenched her eyes shut, screwing up her face, using all her strength to push back the largest hand by it's wrist, trying to dodge the immensely long claws, razor-sharp and deadly. Blood was already spidering down Dea's wrists from the grips of other hands that came from nowhere and her legs kicked uselessly as she floated in the blackness.Shadows began to come alive and joined the fray, aiding the scaly hands in all ways possible. One shadow stuck to her mouth like an annoying sticker, silencing her continuous screams, only making her bright hazel eyes grow wider in fear. Then, una

For decades, the much-loved musical "The Sound of Music" has significantly contributed to the worldwide popularity and fame of the Austrian city of Salzburg. And now, after much international success, the musical can be seen for the first time at the Salzburger Landestheater starting on 23 October 2011. And furthermore, from November 4, the Salzburg Museum will host a unique exhibition on the life and legend of the von Trapp family, who were the real-life singers in the story.
The musical, "The Sound of Music", can be seen starting on 23rd of October 2011 for the first time in Salzburg, which is the original historical location where the actual happenings took place. The staging at the Salzburger Landestheater was specially developed for Salzburg and, thanks to its large-scale casting, was able to attract a top international cast — in particular the German musical star, Uwe Kroger, as Baron von Trapp, and the popular Dutch musical singer, Wietske van Tongeren, who plays the young nun and music teacher, Maria.
The Sound of Music musical will be performed authentically in German — but will have English subtitles. It also includes an English-language sing-along at the end of the performance. The show is scheduled to run until June 2012, but the closing date may be extended if the show does exceptionally well. Exclusive performances of the show in English will be available upon request.
Special exhibition in the Salzburg Museum
From November 4, 2011, the Salzburg Museum will present a special exhibition titled "Die Familie Trapp – Realitat und 'The Sound of Music'" ["The von Trapp Family – Reality and 'The Sound of Music'"]. The exhibition is unique in terms of its scope and its format. The life of the von Trapp family, which has become both a metonymic reflection of a century and, in "The Sound of Music", a media phenomenon, will be presented on two levels through numerous original items, auditions, musical recordings, interviews and photos.
"The Sound of Music" has always been a musical ambassador for the town of Salzburg. For at least 40 percent of all visitors, it is even a major reason for visiting the city. Fans of "The Sound of Music" find a variety of opportunities in Salzburg to search for clues: For example, there are special bus tours, city tours, dinner shows, performances in the Marionette Theater and at the von Trapp family home, where tourists and fans can choose to spend the night.

Sennheiser Electronic GmbH & Co. KG and Sennheiser Electronic Corp. filed what it calls a "first wave" of federal lawsuits in the United States District Court. The lawsuits target a number of alleged Internet-based pirates and counterfeiters located in the United States said to be engaged in the sale of counterfeit Sennheiser branded merchandise, including popular models CX200, CX300 II, CX380 II, CX500, and PMX80 lines of headphones.
The complaints are based upon Federal Trademark Infringement Laws and the filed complaints demand substantial damages in the form of declaratory relief and injunctive relief, along with all attorney's fees and costs against counterfeiters. Sennheiser said it identified more than 100 other domestic pirates and numerous domestic websites that it will target for further enforcement operations.
Sennheiser began the counterfeit enforcement campaign after recognizing an increase of warranty returns and complaints about the quality and workmanship of some of its branded products. It determined that the complaints originated from consumers who purchased products online, often from a website based in China, or from a domestic eBay seller who acquired the counterfeit merchandise from a Chinese wholesaler of counterfeit products.
The manufacturing and distribution of counterfeit Sennheiser branded products abroad has resulted in the widespread domestic U.S. sale of pirated merchandise, made with inferior materials and substandard workmanship.
