The Holocaust
Nazi Propaganda The Holocaust was a gruesome event in history where millions of Jews, gypsies, disabled people, and people under political and behavioral imprisonment suffered and were killed in concentration camps and death camps by the Nazis from about 1941 to 1945. The term "Holocaust" originates from a Greek word that means "sacrifice by fire" which is what the Nazis did to their victims' bodies. The use of propaganda enabled the Nazis to hold control and support from the bystanders of the Holocaust who lived in the nations the Nazis controlled. Once the Nazis took control of the government in Germany, they eliminated all of the Jews' civil rights. Jews were shunned from society; Jewish adults were denied their jobs, Jewish children were not allowed into school, Jews were not allowed at public events, and books written by Jewish authors were burned. Also, all Jews were forced to wear the Jewish Star of David path as pictured above on their clothing at all times. This is a burning synagogue in Germany on the night of Kristallnacht. Kristallnacht, meaning "night of broken glass", was the night when Nazis looted Jewish businesses, destroyed Jewish homes, and burned down synagogues. Adolf Hitler was the Nazi who came to power by force in Germany. He led the genocide of Jews and other hated minorities. Propaganda was a huge tool that Hitler used. This is one of Hitler's most famous forms of propaganda. It is Mein Kampf, the book that Hitler wrote while in prison. Mein Kampf is about Hitler's over exaggerated descriptions of his life and his veiws on politics and Jews. Hitler originally wanted his book to be called Four Years of Struggle against Lies, Stupidity, and Cowardice; but his publisher changed it to Mein Kampf which means "my struggle." That is the famous entry gate to Auschwitz, one of the most successful death camps in killing Jews and minorites. The sign ironically means "work makes you free" which was not the case for many people in Auschwitz. Anne Frank was a Jewish girl who went in to hiding from the Nazis with her family and some others for about two years before they were discovered. While in hiding, Anne kept a diary which was published and has sold over 35 million copies. Tragically, out all the people who were hiding with Anne, Otto Frank, Anne's father, was the only one who survived. Propaganda What exactly is propaganda? Propaganda is advertisement designed to help or hurt a certain cause. It can be in the form of posters, books, films, speeches and many more. The Nazis frequently used propaganda to encourage the annihilation of Jews and other minorities. They used propaganda to make people support World War Two and to encourage the Nazi beleif that Arians are the superior race. by: Laura Rovak This is a movie poster for a film made in 1940 called The Eternal Jew. The purpose of this propaganda was to make the Germans feel disgust and hatred towards the Jews. This is an image of survivors after the liberation of the camp in Dachau, Germany. Eventually, camps were liberated, but by the time they were, countless people had already perished. This is an excerpt of a speech made by Adolf Hitler in 1938. Though we do not know what he is saying, his powerful voice and ferociousness show how he influenced listeners into believing what he was saying. This is a cartoon featured in a Nazi magazine in 1930. The Jew on the left is portrayed as ugly and weak while the German is portrayed as strong and attractive. This was a Nazi propaganda poster degrading Jews. It promoted the idea that Jews are despicable. This is a Nazi poster describing the "good Germans" as innocent, pure, attractive and superior. The use of the pretty girl with the flowers on the container with the Nazi symbol promotes the Nazis as just and good. Non-Jewish children were also exposed to propaganda. Propaganda was seen in children's school lessons and in children's books. At an early age, German children were taught the wrong idea that Jews are evil. This was a popular children's book entitled The Poisonous Mushroom. The story explains how Jews are like poisonous mushrooms. It says that even one of them, like a poisonous mushroom, can bring danger to a whole family. This is a picture from the story "The Experience of Hans and Else with a Strange Man." In the story, Else receives candy from a strange man who tells her not to tell her mother. Hans gets suspicious and goes with Else to see the strange man. The strange man tries to get the children to come with him to his home when Hans realizes he must be a Jew and turns him into the police. This story makes it seem as though all Jews are child abductors. This is an illustration from the story "How to Tell a Jew." In it, the class learns the ways of spotting a Jew. The teacher tells them to use these skills in the real world because the Jews are evil. German children did get taught things like this in school. This is a picture from the story "Money is the God of the Jews." In it, it describes how the only thing Jews care about is money; they do not care how they get it or who gets hurt. This is a page from the children's book Trust No Fox in the Green Meadow and No Jew on his Oath. This is what the text on the page means: "The German and the Jew.
Take a good look at the two
In the picture drawn for you.
A joke – you think it is only that?
Easy to guess which is which, I say:
The German stands up, the Jew gives way." This is another picture from the book, Trust No Fox in the Green Meadow and No Jew on his Oath. It makes Jewish men and Jewish boys seem despicable for singling out pure German women and girls.The text that goes along with it is "What a creature is the Jew.
Not even his own women he likes.
To share himself a German wife
He thinks just cute. You bet your life!" "From this picture may be seen,
Hitler Youth in splendid mien,
From smallest to the biggest boy.
All are husky, tough and strong.
They love their German Führer
And God in Heaven they fear.
But the Jews they must despise!" This is another picture from the book Trust No Fox in the Green Meadow and No Jew on his Oath. In this illustration, Hitler Youth is pictured as being strong and good looking compared to Jewish boys. The text that goes with this picture is This is an illustration from a children's book in 1936. The menacing looking birds on the ground are meant to resemble the Jews on the left. There is anti-Jewish graffiti on the wall. The headlines the German children are reading can be translated to "Jews Are Our Misfortune" and "How the Jew Cheats." This is a propaganda poster promoting the Nazi idea that Jews start wars and make wars longer. This is a small flyer that was printed right after Jews were forced to wear the Star of David patch on their clothing. The flyer is saying that those who are wearing those stars are the enemies. Nazis strutting down the street in their uniforms was a form of propaganda. The man on the left is wearing the uniform for the Allgemeine SS. On the right is the standard uniform for the SS. Both uniforms include the bright red band with the swastika, the symbol of the Nazis and the Third Reich. This poster was made to make Jews seem less human then the Germans. The pictures of the Jews are taken out of context and are distorted and humiliating. The text means "Jews are our misfortune." This is a poster trying to persuade the Germans that Jews are evil. Thus, the large use of propaganda allowed the Nazis to carry the Holocaust on for too long. Nazis infused anti semitism into German children at a very early age through the books they grew up reading and in the lessons learned in school. Nazis reinforced their ideas through posters, books, speeches, films, and uniforms. Without the support of the brain washed Germans from the extensive propaganda, the Nazis would not have been capable of making the Holocaust as horrific and long as it was. January 30, 1933 Adolf Hitler is made Chancellor of Germany A Chancellor means the head of the government, similar to a Prime Minister of other countries. After Hitler was made Chancellor, the Nazis started a parade in Berlin to celebrate. March 22, 1933 Nazis open the concentration camps in Dachau, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen, and Ravensbrück Setting up these camps was one of the early things the Nazis did after Hitler came to power. Ravensbrück was a camp for women who did forced labor. August 2, 1934 Hitler becomes Führer Hitler became the Führer mere hours after the death of the President of Germany. Hitler used his death to gain complete power over Germany by then making a new law that was probably illegal. September 15, 1935 Nuremberg Race Laws against Jews established The Nuremberg Race Laws made Jews no longer citizens of Germany, forbid Jews from getting married to or having sexual relations with Aryans, and required "Certificate of Fitness to Marry" certificate inorder to get a marriage license. The certificates were only given if it was examined that the couple was "disease free." November 8, 1937 'Eternal Jew' travelling exhibition opens in Munich The 'Eternal Jew' exhibition traveled throughout Germany to promote the hatred of Jews. It featured displays thatpromoted Jews as dangerous, not completely human, and different then the Aryans in looks and in soul. November 9, 1938 Kristallnacht Also known as The Night of Broken Glass, Kristallnacht was when Nazis burned synagogues, looted Jewish businesses, and destroyed Jewish homes. Kristallnacht was started after Herschel Grynszpan, a 17 year old Jew killed a member of the German Embassy staff. January 30, 1939 Hitler threatens Jews during Reichstag speech Adolf Hitler was making a speech in front of the Nazi Reichstag when he actually publicly threatened the Jews. He said that the Jews would be annihilated in Europe if they were the cause of another World War. September 27, 1939 Warsaw surrenders When Warsaw surrendered, the second in command of the SS, Reinhard Heydrich became the leader of the RSHA. The RSHA was a combination of the Nazis' SS Security Service and the Gestapo. October, 1939 Nazis begin euthanasia on sick and disabled in Germany Hitler ordered "mercy killing" to be performed on the sick and disabled in order to eliminate some of the imperfections. The SS later used this method to kill Jews in concentration camps. November, 1940 The Krakow and Warsaw Ghettos are sealed off This traps 110,000 Jews. From this point forward, Krakow and Warsaw were partially like a prison and partially like a concentration camp. July 31, 1941 Göring instructs Heydrich to prepare for Final Solution The Final Solution was the Nazi solution to the "Jew problem" where the Nazis would try to exterminate the Jewish race in Europe. According to the plan, all German Jews were shipped to concentration camps. September 1, 1941 German Jews ordered to wear yellow stars Jews were forced to wear a yellow Star of David patch on their clothing at all times. The Nazis had them do this so it was easier to round up all of the Jews and send them to concentration camps according to the Final Solution. September 17, 1941 Beginning of general deportation of German Jews SS officials and Nazis forced Jews to abandon their current life, home, and possessions. They rode in over filled rail cars to concentration camps. January 20, 1942 Wannsee Conference This was held by Reinhard Heydrich with 15 Nazis to coordinate the Final Solution. Their estimated goal was to kill about 11 million Jews. January 18, 1943 First resistance by Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto This was when a small group of Jews rebelled and began fighting Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto. This showed that all Jews had not completely lost all hope and will to live. March 14, 1943 The Krakow Ghetto is liquidated This means that the Nazis completely evacuated and abandoned that ghetto. The Jews were moved to Auschwitz to speed up the Final Solution process. Summer 1944 Auschwitz-Birkenau records its highest-ever daily number of persons gassed and burned Auschwitz-Birkenau topped its daily record by killing just over 9,000 people. The bodies could not all fit in the crematories so six massive pits were made to burn them. This feat proved that the Nazis were not ready to give up their Final Solution. July 24, 1944 Russian troops liberate the first concentration camp The concentration camp at Majdanek was the first to be liberated. Previously, about 360,000 people had already died there. January 27, 1945 Russian troops liberate Auschwitz One of the worst concentration camps, Auschwitz was where about 2,000,000 people perished. The Nazis were able to kill 1,500,000 Jews out of the 2,000,000 people they murdered. April 30, 1945 Hitler commits suicide in his Berlin bunker Towards the end of World War Two, the panicking Hitler hid in a Berlin bunker. When he realized all hope was lost, he commited suicide. Germany surrendered soon after. The End.

Five dangerous "seeds" have been stolen from their vault in the world of Evergreen and taken to Earth. Natsuki, an agent of the Queen, has been sent to retrieve them. However, he cannot do this alone and enlists the aid of Chihaya, a middle school student, who is "the only one" who can help him. With his aid she transforms into Magical Warrior Carmine in order to save the humans possessed by the seeds. Questions abound though, such as why Chihaya's mother appears to know all about this secret activity, why Chihaya remembers her father who reportedly died before her birth, and why she dreams of Evergreen, which she has never seen.

text: EUROPE BCNs' Italian FTT solutions leave the buy-side in a spin The variety of broker reactions to Italy's financial transaction tax, which levies a high rate on broker crossing networks, has led to buy-side confusion. By Richard Henderson firstname.lastname@example.com March 13, 2013 11:28 AM GMT The variety of broker reactions to Italy's financial transaction tax (FTT), which levies a high rate on broker crossing networks, has led to buy-side confusion.Brokers have responded in multiple ways to the levy, which levels a higher rate on trades executed in broker crossing networks (BCNs), compared to other types of markets. These include: passing the full tax to buy-side clients; shutting off BCNs for Italian stocks completely; absorbing the levy and letting the buy-side execute in BCNs at the lower rate applied to regulated markets and multilateral trading facilities; or executing off-market/on-exchange – a process where two parties to a trade agree a price in a BCN before executing that trade on a primary exchange.The levy came into force on 1 March and taxes equity and bond transactions on exchanges and MTFs at 0.12%, and OTC trades at 0.22%. Under MiFID, BCNs are classed as a form of OTC trading. Derivatives are taxed on a sliding scale depending on instrument and size of trade.Paul Squires, head of trading at AXA Investment Managers, told theTRADEnews.com that the off-market/on-exchange process hinged on brokers' interpretation of the language within the Italian FTT regulation."Some brokers are offering negotiated trades, where terms of a trade are set in a broker pool but are executed and reported on a recognised exchange. The term used for these trades is 'effected' and this lets brokers execute at a lower tax rate," Squires said.A director of an investment bank, speaking anonymously to theTRADEnews.com, confirmed his firm was executing off-market/on-exchange for Italian equities and said this mechanism, although avoiding the higher levy, benefitted regulators and market participants alike."These trades are executed on exchange, which mitigates counterparty risk with central clearing and greater transparency to the market, while still allowing price formation to occur in the dark," he said, adding that Italy's FTT was out of step with recent European legislation, including MiFID, which placed value on both lit and dark activity.However, other asset managers are having a different experience with the tax. Sören Steinert, associate director, equities, at Germany-based Quoniam Asset Management, said broker reactions had been varied, causing confusion and frustration for buy-side desks."Some brokers are offering the buy-side a flat rate of 12 basis points and are paying the difference so they can route orders through their internal pools. Other brokers have shut down internal pools for Italian stocks, or simply continued operating them by passing on the full 22 basis point cost to the buy-side client," Steinert said. "It's adding time, costs and bureaucracy for the buy-side. For example compliance teams must work to understand the details and traders have to look at the impact on trading in Italian stocks."According to data from Markit BOAT, which provides daily reports on the aggregate activity from six BCNs on a country-by-country basis, trading of Italian stocks in BCNs has plummeted around 85%.The six BCNs that report to Markit BOAT traded €55.5 million on 28 February, the day before the Italian FTT came into force, dropping to €8.5 million on 11 March.Despite the initial impact this data suggests, AXA Investment Managers' Squires believes the tax would not have a significant effect on most buy-side firms."We appreciate the option of trading this way, but this tax will not have a major impact on our business," he said. "However, it will affect stat arb firms and hedge funds that profit on small margins from trades."Italy joins France in establishing a national FTT while also supporting plans to establish a pan-European FTT, although France's tax is limited to equities of Paris-listed stocks of companies with a market capitalisation of €1 billion or more. Portugal, also a pan-European FTT supporter, has said it will pursue a national FTT for implementation next year.Eleven states in total back a European FTT, including Germany, but excluding the UK. A draft of the tax was agreed upon by the European Commission last month and is progressing through legislative channels via the 'enhanced cooperation' mechanism, which lets a bloc of at least nine states go ahead with a law if the Commission is in favour.Market participants have warned the current aims of the tax are too broad, and will unfairly tax market participants outside of supporting euro-zone states. related articles most popular most e-mailed FROM THETRADENEWS.COM Sell sideGoldman acquires space for 1,000 staff in Frankfurt as Brexit loomsRegulationFixed income venues warn MiFID will "drive business out of EU"RegulationFirms call on ESMA to review large-in-scale trading obligation Post tradeEuronext takes minority stake in LCH SA as part of clearing dealTrading VenuesIncreased trading activity sees Euronext revenue growSell sideCiti expected to move UK sales and trading roles to Frankfurt FROM THE TRADE TVLCH Innovation in Clearing Award 2017 FROM THETRADENEWS.COMSell sideBNP Paribas teams up with market maker for US TreasuriesTechnologyTechnology chief at JP Morgan departs for role with analytics firmSell sideJP Morgan establishes SI for all fixed income productsSell sideBNY Mellon's CFO named CEO of newly established clearing businessRegulationCredit Suisse fined $135m after FX traders 'manipulated' marketFixed incomeBlackRock, ICE and Pimco among first SEC fixed income committee members FROM THE TRADE TVLCH Innovation in Clearing Award 2017 FROM THETRADENEWS.COMTrading VenuesTRADEcho's smart report router links up to Cboe's APASell sideBNP Paribas teams up with market maker for US TreasuriesSell sideJP Morgan establishes SI for all fixed income productsFixed incomeBlackRock, ICE and Pimco among first SEC fixed income committee membersTrading VenuesSGX to use blockchain for bond tradingDerivativesEuronext expansion puts investors in reach of Hong Kong FROM THE TRADE TVLCH Innovation in Clearing Award 2017

text: She came home that evening with an unusual twinkle in her eye asking with an abrupt unabashed frankness, "you know how we've often talked about your … uh … well, how small it is?" Looking up from his TV Albert gulped and nodded hesitantly. Smiling, his Sheila continued, "and you remember when you suggested we try having one of those threesomes with a black guy?" Sitting up to pay attention now Albert swallowed hard and had the vague suspicion that it was she who had made the suggestion but replied, "yes … but we were just playing around." Sheila was the hottest girl he'd ever known much less dated. Before Sheila he had never dated much and had precious few 2nd dates. Sheila was different though. She stayed with him. Soooo sexy. Her hard body and soft touch was like a heaven he'd never known. He knew she was the one … the only one … for him. He'd already spent 6 months pay buying a ring but was waiting for just the right moment to ask for her hand. Albert never did anything impulsively. Albert had only met Sheila about 8 weeks earlier when she approached him at a company outing. He briefly wondered why such a woman would approach him, of all guys, but he quickly discarded the concern. The relationship instantly became white hot! Sheila unconditionally wore the pants in the relationship (even when she wore nothing at all) but he was okay with that. He couldn't see any harm. After all, physically she was a model perfect girl and he was a lowly accountant. He would never do better and he knew it. He could overlook her tendency to belittle and embarrass him once in awhile. After all, she was a goddess. Her contemptuous insults had steadily grown more pointed, personal and intense as the weeks passed, but it seemed a small price to pay for the attentions of such a beautiful woman. Flipping her long bleached blond hair in her usual seductive way she laughed, "Oh silly man … we weren't just playing." He cut her off, becoming a bit more concerned now, "But Sheila, I really wasn't serious!" "Yeah well," she added as she kicked her shoes off and flopped down on the couch next to his chair. "Maybe YOU were just kidding around but I've been thinking about it ever since." Albert could see this was leading somewhere he really didn't want to go but he had always been powerless to deny her anything. He was sooooo wrapped around her little finger and she never hesitated to remind him of it. His mind flashed back to several memories of her joking about his rather meager equipment … shattering his confidence and making him feel inadequate in bed. Albert didn't need any help to feel inadequate of course, but that sort of thing had always turned her on. Albert once had the thought that she probably was the type to enjoy pulling the wings off of flys ... but he quickly banished the thought from his mind. "Well baby … have you ever met your boss's son, Leroy?" Albert nodded cautiously. With a slight giggle she informed him, "well, you don't know him as well as I do!" Albert, puzzled and concerned remained quiet. "Well" she proceeded, "he and I have been … um, well you know … and believe me, he doesn't have the same problem down there that you do!" She barely managed to stifle her glee as Albert reeled from the confession … and the accusation. "Anyway, Albert … he's coming over tonight … and not just for dinner!" Albert choked on his words as he fought for the courage to stand up to her … to say no … to be a man ... but he failed just as he had always failed before. Grinning as Albert slumped submissively back into his chair unable to put a sentence together she delightedly informed him, "You might as well know now Albert, the reason you and I haven't had sex in 3 weeks is because Leroy doesn't want me to. Leroy says you're a loser Albert." Albert was stunned silent now … his pulse pounding in his head … not even attempting a reply. Laughing openly, Sheila taunted, "you know Albert … he likes to fuck me on your desk … what do you think about that?" To her obvious amusement Albert appeared to be trying to disappear into the stuffed chair. You ARE a loser Albert … you're a little sissy. Leroy's been my man for over two years now. He dared me to seduce you … get you to fall in love with me… so I did it just for fun … it was soooo easy!" Victoriously silent she just gazed at him savoring his discomfort as her last words echoed deep into his psyche ... as he tried in vain to make sense of the events of the past 8 weeks. After what felt like an eternity the doorbell broke the silence. As she hopped up she fluffed her hair and giggled, "Remember Albert … he's the boss's son and tonight he has something special in mind for you! Really special Albert ... it was MY idea ... remember that ... it was MY idea!" Headed for the door she glanced back over her bare shoulder winking, "Don't go getting yourself fired!"

Aside from fresh colors and the occasional added feature or two, it's pretty rare that we see a massive departure from traditional helmet design and materials. Well, the new Smith Forefront all-mountain helmet is here to stir things up a bit. The Aerocore construction of the Forefront allows riders ventilated protection as never before seen in a bicycle helmet.
With up to a 30% improvement over standard EPS impact properties, the patented tubular core structure of the Koroyd material combines with EPS to create a system of materials known as Aerocore designed to surpass current standards at low and high speeds. Aerocore construction is said to allow for ventilated protection, reduced weight, and reduced volume.
Targeting a full production weight of 285 grams, the Forefront helmet features Smith's new VaporFit adjustable fit system, integrated camera and light mounting area, and an additional helmet goggle retention strap. Based off of Smith's proven head form and dedicated investment of three unique sets of tooling, three adult helmet sizes are available to accommodate a variety of fits while 10 progressive color options offer a range of style choices.
The Forefront will sell for $220 and is expected to be available in Spring 2014. The company isn't content with just an all-mountain helmet, and plans to introduce other helmets within a year. For more details, visit www.smithoptics.com.
Overpriced??? So what you are saying is that protecting your head has a dollar limit.
"Look mommy, an aeroplane up in the sky" Yes darling, but that plane ride is ABSURDLY overpriced.
Lars, since your reading this - how do you clean the crap, mud, etc, out of these tubes? Or is this designed as a sunny day-only helmet? Seriously.
the white one in the video reminds me of a storm trooper helmet!
looks pretty funky to me.
$220 ... hahahaa!
Lars rides TLD helmets, no? What's going on?
I was signed to the Smith Optics team earlier this season, and they asked me to be a part of this project a few months ago. I was fortunate enough to be able to do so. I will use the Forefront for my open face helmets and continue to use TLD Gear and the TLD D3 for all my full face helmet needs.

Vanessa Hudgens, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, and Drake were only few of the many who experienced the fun at this year's Coachella. With pounding music, flooding drinks, and epic performances, people who attended the event probably had the night of their life.
Keeping it low profile though, were Leonardo DiCaprio and Orlando Bloom's own theme for Coachella 2017. Hoodies and baggy pants as their attires, the two hunks looked like they had a different party to attend to.

According to an article published by Entertainment Tonight, they were seen on the venue sitting on a table surrounded by beautiful models and tequilas. There were also some who said that they were among the few that stayed until the end of the event.
Right after the party ended, a photo was uploaded by an unknown source in which they were also seen in a house with Doritos and hamburger buns scattered on the table.

The objective of the project is to provide a conceptual basis, evidence, tools and improved incentive and policy options to support the smart provision of public goods by the EU agriculture and forestry ecosystems, in the light of trade-offs and conflicts brought about by prospective intensification scenarios, using a transdisciplinary approach. PROVIDE will consider a wide range of public goods, including the scope for intensification to produce negative externalities, in relation with a wide set of legislations. It will address the issue in a multi-scale framework working both at the EU level and at case study level in thirteen Countries of the EU. The practical results of the project will be: a renewed (un-packed) conceptualization of the notion of public goods; an operational framework to support the smart provision of public goods; a toolbox putting together an inventory/mapping of options, operational means for valuation and evaluation, and a selection of evaluated policy/sector mechanisms; a consolidated and long-lasting community of knowledge and practice. The project will achieve the above results through a mapping and inventory of public goods and the mechanisms producing such goods, allowing to identify hotspots for mechanisms and policy development. Around these hotspots, the project will then value different public goods and explore value transferability across several regions and ecosystems. Next, to meet a smart production of public goods, consistent with the current needs of productivity, bioeconomy strategy and rural development, innovative policy tools and mechanisms will be comparatively assessed and evaluated. The outcomes of these activities will feed information into the framework and toolbox. All these processes will be co-developed with stakeholders, so that the framework and toolbox will be a co-constructed product allowing incremental development also beyond the lifetime of the project, maximizing PROVIDEs impact.

The European chemical industry faces some very serious challenges if it is to retain its competitive position in the global economy. The new industries setting up in Asia and the Near East are based on novel process-intensification concepts, leaving Europe desperately searching for a competitive edge. The transition from batch to continuous micro- and milliflow processing is essential to ensure a future for the European fine-chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries. However, despite the huge interest shown by both academia and industrial R&D, many challenges remain, such as the problems of reaction activation, channel clogging due to solids formation and the scaling up of these technologies to match the required throughput. COSMIC, the European Training Network for Continuous Sonication and Microwave Reactors, takes on these challenges by developing material- and energy-efficient continuous chemical processes for the synthesis of organic molecules and nanoparticles. The intersectoral and interdisciplinary COSMIC training network consists of leading universities and industry participants and trains 15 ESRs in the areas of flow technology, millifluidics and external energy fields (ultrasound and microwaves). These energy fields can be applied in structured, continuous milli-reactors for producing high-value-added chemicals with excellent yield efficiencies in terms of throughput, waste minimization and product quality that simply cannot be achieved with traditional batch-type chemical reactors. The chemical processes that are at the heart of COSMICs game-changing research are catalytic reactions and solids-forming reactions. COSMICs success, which is based on integrating chemistry, physics and process technology, will re-establish European leadership in this crucial field and provide it with highly trained young experts ready for dynamic careers in the European chemical industry.

Open Researchers is the fifth experience of Andalusia in the European Researchers Night. The project is designed to increase the awareness of research as a solution to the numerous challenges faced by citizens all around the world and mainly in Europe. The idea of the project, The future is today: understandable ground-breaking science for a better living, has been conceived in a time of change, a moment where becomes clearer that we must join efforts to find sustainable, equal, innovative and creative solutions to give answer to the societal challenges. To this end, according to the RRI, it is essential to promote young peoples interest in Science and Research by opening it to general public through its main protagonists, researchers. The projects major strength is the numerous activities taking place on main streets, museums, theatres, and historical buildings of the eight Andalusian cities, the high mobilization of researchers and the involvement of Municipalities, which will have a high social impact in the region. Given the projects dimensions in a wide region with 8.3 million people, it will be developed with a high and effective presence in terms of human and technical resources, and with the collaboration of the main local institutions, NGOs, private companies, teachers and civil associations. The communication campaign aims at reach every third citizen of Andalusia, and with activities in city-centre venues around 65.000 attendees each year are expected. Fundacin Descubre will coordinate this project, based in its experience through the last 7 years working with relevant projects in Spain and fundamentally in its consortium experience in the four editions of this project in Andalusia. The consortium is composed by nine Andalusian universities, the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), Andalusian Foundation Progress and Health, and the Royal Botanical Garden of Crdoba, all dedicated to higher education, research and Science popularization.

Helminth and ectoparasitic infections of ruminants and poultry have a huge impact on the biological efficiency of these vital food sources. Indiscriminate antiparasitic use has led to drug resistance across the globe. The main alternative to the dwindling supply of antiparasitics is vaccines. Here, in the PARAGONE project, findings from previous EU and other-funded projects on parasite vaccine development will be exploited to take a number of promising prototypes towards commercialisation. Partners from the Europe, China, Uruguay, SMEs and pharma, will directly move forward prototypes against the ruminant helminths Fasciola hepatica, Cooperia spp., Ostertagia ostertagi, Teladorsagia circumcincta and Haemonchus contortus and, the ectoparasitic mites, Psoroptes ovis (ruminants) and Dermanyssus gallinae (poultry). They will utilise novel adjuvants or delivery systems to maximise efficacy of some of the prototypes. Moreover, immunology studies will focus on pathogens that have previously proved problematic, often because they release immunosuppressive molecules that must be overcome for vaccines to work or because recombinant vaccines have failed to elicit protection observed with native prototypes. State-of-the-art technologies will be used to interrogate host/parasite interactions to define key signatures of protection that can be used to inform delivery systems that will enhance immunity, while other studies will define polymorphism in current vaccine candidates to ensure derived prototypes will be fit-for-purpose across geographic scales. Fundamental, is engagement of the scientists with pharma and other stakeholders (farmers, veterinarians, regulators) via many dissemination activities that will be used to obtain feedback on how the vaccines can be best deployed in the field. The output will be at least two prototypes to the point of uptake by pharma, government or philanthropic agencies, and a clear pathway to commercialisation for all prototypes studied.

Primary liver cancer, which consists predominantly of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and the third most common cause of cancer mortality. A successful surgical resection of HCC requires complete removal of the tumour while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible. Due to technical and clinical difficulties relatively low percentage of patients are eligible for resection. There is an urgent need to increase the patient eligibility and improve the survival prognosis after liver interventions. HiPerNav will train early stage researchers (biomedical engineers and medical doctors) to become international leading in key areas of expertise through a novel coordinated plan of individual research projects addressing specific bottlenecks in soft tissue navigation for improved treatment of liver cancer. The multi-disciplinary dialogue and work between clinicians and biomedical engineers is crucial to address these bottlenecks. By providing researchers with knowledge and training within specific topics from minimally invasive treatment, biomedical engineering, research methodologies, innovation and entrepreneurship, the link between academic research and industry will be strengthened. This allows for easy transfer of promising results from the research projects to commercially exploitable solutions. The global image guided surgery devices market is promising; it was valued at USD 2.76 billion in 2013 and is projected to expand 6.4% from 2014 to 2022 to reach USD 4.80 billion in 2022. The market for soft-tissue navigation is still in its infancy, mainly due to challenges in achieved accuracy for targeting deformable and moving organs. By providing multi-disciplinary training, the researchers in this consortium of international leading research institutions, universities and industry will initiate true translational research from academic theoretical ideas to the clinical testing of prototype, developed solutions and tools.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis has become a comprehensively studied area of research during the past three decades due to its practical interest in applications including water-air depollution, cancer therapy, sterilization, artificial photosynthesis (CO2 photoreduction), anti-fogging surfaces, heat transfer and heat dissipation, anticorrosion, lithography, photochromism, solar chemicals production and many others. The utilization of solar irradiation to supply energy or to initiate chemical reactions is already an established idea. Excited electron-hole pairs are generated upon light irradiation of a wide-band gap semiconductor which can be applied to solar cells to generate electricity or in chemical processes to create/degrade specific compounds. While the field of heterogeneous photocatalysis for pollutant abatement and mineralisation of contaminants has been extensively investigated, a new research avenue related to the selective valorisation of residues has recently emerged as a promising alternative to utilise solar light for the production of valuable chemicals and fuels. This tutorial review will focus on the potential and applications of solid photonanocatalysts for the selective transformation of biomass-derived substrates.

Aflatoxins (AF), the most toxic and carcinogenic compounds among the mycotoxins, are mainly produced by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. Because these fungi are common soil residents of almond and pistachio orchards, these nuts are one of the main sources of human exposure to AF. The consumption of almond and pistachio has increased in recent years in the European Union (EU) due to their positive effects on the consumers health. Spain has the largest area (587.000 ha) under almond cultivation after USA and its pistachio growing-area is exponentially expanding. Contaminated batches of Spanish nuts by AFs have been frequently detected. Application of atoxigenic strains of A. flavus has successfully reduced crop AF-contamination in the USA and Africa. This biological control strategy uses endemic atoxigenic A. flavus strains, considered best adapted, to displace the AF-producing fungi. Unfortunately, EU farmers do not have the benefit of this type of biological control technology since there are not registered atoxigenic strains in this area. The aim of current project is to: i) improve substrate and application methods of atoxigenic A. flavus; ii) select new biological control agents for their patent and future registration in EU and USA; and iii) construct mechanistic models of risk for AF-contamination. The expected results will have a positive impact improving food safety and the environment and securing economic benefits to EU farmers and agri-food industries. In addition, this project supports capacity building, provides the foundation to the fellow in pursuing his independent scientific career and strengthens collaboration with research groups from EU and USA, three small-medium enterprises (SEMs), and a spin-off company.

The use of visible light energy to induce chemical transformations constitutes an interesting and green activation mode of organic molecules. However, implementation of this energy source in organic synthetic methodologies and in the industrial production of fine chemicals has been challenging. The Photo4Future Innovative Training Network establishes a training network with five beneficiaries from academia and five beneficiaries from industry to tackle the challenges associated with photochemistry in a coherent and comprehensive fashion. In total 13 Early Stage Researchers will be recruited within the Photo4Future network. The network will provide them with opportunities to undertake research with the aim to overcome the current limitations towards the applicability and scalability of photochemical transformations. This will be achieved through a rational design of novel photocatalytic methodologies, improved catalytic systems and innovative photoreactors. Furthermore, the ESRs will be trained in the Photo4Future graduate school, covering training in scientific, personal and complementary skills. All the ESRs will perform two secondments, of which at least one is carried out with an industrial partner. Consequently, the ESRs will have improved career prospects and a higher employability. Due to the high degree of industrial participation, the Photo4Future network will provide an innovation-friendly environment where scientific results can grow and become products or services that will benefit European economies.

Obesity is a global health problem whose prevalence is increasing substantially due to lifestyle changes. This complex medical condition is frequently linked to serious metabolic complications and deregulation of hormonal axes, which lead to perturbed homeostasis in conditions of overweight. Different studies have suggested that obesity is often associated to hypogonadism, a reproductive disorder that might also promote metabolic alterations, thus setting a vicious circle in the generation/perpetuation of obesity co-morbidities. While the targets and molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are still unknown, emerging evidence from experimental models of metabolic stress linked to hypogonadism strongly suggests the potential role of perturbations of hypothalamic Kiss1/NKB neurons. Likewise, the recently identified involvement of epigenetics in the control of Kiss1 expression at puberty, a crucial stage in sexual development that is metabolically gated, suggests also the contribution of these regulatory mechanisms to this phenomenon. In this context, this project aims to elucidate the pathophysiological relevance of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms in obesity-induced hypogonadism and their influence in the generation/ maintenance of the metabolic complications of overweight. To this end, we will characterize the time-course of alterations of key hormonal and epigenetic factors in preclinical models of obesity and will evaluate the contribution of epigenetic modifications in deregulation of hypothalamic Kiss1/NKB neurons in conditions of overweight. In addition, we will analyse the potential role of gonadal steroids in this phenomenon. This project will help to identify the molecular targets and epigenetic mechanisms responsible for the metabolic perturbations linked to obesity-induced hypogonadism, and will aid to define better tools for the treatment of these complications.

Previously, I made a Dennis Moore memorial dinner using mostly just lupins as the ingredients. In the sketch there are actually a number of foods named those foods are: lupin soup, roast lupin, steamed lupin, braised lupin in lupin sauce, lupin in the basket with sauted lupins, lupin meringue pie, lupin sorbet.
At one time or another, I have all of those foods (except Lupin meringue pie, which I'm still working on) and present them to you here.
Highlights are the lupin sorbet (which is much better than my version of lupin ice-cream), and the lupin soup, which is also delicious.

How to cook lupins
The most important thing to remember when cooking with lupin is that lupin is a bean, and therefore behaves much like any other bean. I've written extensively about lupins in the past. In this post I summarize some of that knowledge, and give some general tips and tricks for cooking with lupins.
The Dennis Moore memorial dinner: a three course meal composed (almost) entirely of lupins
1 year, 8 months, and 16 days ago, I received my first shipment of lupins. I had a dream. That dream was to honor my hero Dennis Moore by making a three course meal composed in the greatest part possible by lupins. Today that journey has come to a successful conclusion.

Things that are a scam
For the past 100 years or so (Diogenes of Sinope might argue the last 2,500 years or so), the rise of consumerism has made us take for granted lots of unnecessary products. Somehow the advertisers have managed to convince most of us that we need a vast array of modern conveniences to be happy and healthy. In truth, most modern conveniences are only necessary for people with particular illnesses, or occupations. I suggest you throw away you television, bed, and makeup, you'll thank me later....
Lupin chocolate chip cookies
I'm still occasionally experimenting with cooking with lupins. Today I made lupin cookies. Which, I'm happy to say, turned out fantastic! In fact after I made the first batch, I liked it so much I went ahead and immediately made another batch.

BABYMETAL – Live at Wembley – Album review
BABYMETAL – Live at Wembley – Album review
December 6, 2016 |
The metal/ dance/ J-pop fusion phenomenon, BABYMETAL, are back, releasing a live album of their first ever UK arena show. BABYMETAL has come so far in a relatively short space of time, doing well for their 17/18 ages. They're a band I've wanted to see live for a while now, as so much goes into their live performances, and it looks insane. This album is the next best thing.
BABYMETAL's live shows are something else, but when listening to the opening track, I was concerned that the performance may not translate well to just audio. If you've seen the BABYMETAL 'Gimme Chocolate!!' video (with those views, odds are, you have) you wonder how they sing, dance, and run around all at once. When I first heard the album I was worried that I'd like the band a little less, having just the audio, and none of the crazy stage stuff to go with it. The album opens with 'BABYMETAL DEATH', and before there's any singing, you can hear the crowd cheering for the trio. A voice is then heard, saying "A long time ago...", which although possibly pointless, really made me feel like I was there, watching them - which I guess is the point of a live album.
Su-Metal does an outstanding job singing on all of the songs, and as the prologue said, their music really does transcend language barriers. It doesn't matter that not all of the lyrics can be understood, that doesn't take away from the fact that their music is great. The live band also does a really good job backing up the band, something which you may overlook seeing BABYMETAL live due to the trio's performance. They play with impressive skill, especially in 'Ijme, Dame, Zettai', 'Awadama fever', and 'Karate'. In fact, picking a favourite from the album is incredibly difficult. Their set is filled with favourites from both their albums, and all in all, it's a kick-ass track list.[youtube v=WIKqgE4BwAY]

Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, announced an AC/DC reference design based on the new dsPIC33F "GS" series of digital-power Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs). This reference design demonstrates how digital-power techniques are applied to reduce component count, lower product cost, eliminate oversized components, and incorporate topology flexibility to innovate the best solution for the application.
Microchip's Digital Power AC/DC Reference Design unit works with a universal input voltage range and produces three output voltages. The continuous power output rating of the unit is 300 watts. The front-end Power Factor Correction (PFC) boost circuit converts universal AC input voltages to a 420 VDC bus voltage.
A full-bridge transformer isolated buck converter, incorporating a phase-shift Zero Voltage Transition (ZVT) circuit, produces 12 VDC @ 30 amps from the 420 VDC bus. The phase-shift ZVT converter also provides output-voltage isolation from the AC mains input. A multi-phase synchronous buck converter then produces 3.3 VDC @ 69 amps from the 12 VDC bus, and a single-phase buck converter produces 5 VDC @ 23 amps from the 12 VDC bus.
The AC/DC Reference Design includes many advanced features and high performance to support today's increasing demands for efficiency and control, and to reduce operating costs and minimize system cost while maintaining high levels of reliability. Key design specifications include the following:
- Universal Inputs (85V – 265V AC, 45 – 65 Hz)
- Boost PFC (PF > 0.98)
- Soft-start (programmable)
- Full-bridge ZVT (soft-switching)
- Synchronous rectification
- 12-Volt intermediate bus
- Multi-phase Synchronous Buck converter 3.3V output
- Single-phase 5.0V output
- Automatic fault handling
- Remote power-management capabilities
- Flexible start-up capabilities
- Greater than 90% efficiency on each of the four power-conversion stages
The reference design is powered by one of Microchip's new dsPIC33F "GS" series of DSCs, which controls the PFC boost circuit and the primary-side ZVT full-bridge circuit. A second "GS" series dsPIC33F monitors the 12 VDC bus voltage and controls the four buck converters. The two dsPIC® DSCs communicate across the isolation boundary via Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitters (UARTs).
"The flexible new dsPIC33F "GS" series of DSCs are featured and priced to help ignite significant digital power innovation," said Rich Hoefle, marketing manager of Microchip's High Performance Microcontroller Division. "We could have configured the topology of this reference design any number of ways, using the same two DSCs. More than anything else, this reference design is a springboard for customers to develop their own intellectual property to differentiate their digital power solutions in the marketplace."

The biggest story you didn't hear in Mississippi politics
by Frank Corder
During the holidays, it's easy to have stuff slip past us in the news.
There was a huge election result in Jones County last week. Twenty-eight year incumbent Circuit Court Judge Billy Joe Landrum
got beat in a runoff
by Dal Williamson.
Williamson led the general election field of four candidates on November 4th by 2,000 votes over Landrum. Williamson then won the runoff November 25th with over 65%.
The always colorful Landrum has come under fire from State Auditor Stacey Pickering, also a resident of Jones County. Pickering
that Landrum had misused some $313,000 of drug court funds for vehicles, fuel and salaries not associated with the administration of that program. Pickering and Landrum publicly tangled about the issue and Landrum went so far as to compare Pickering's tactics to "Hitler."
The reason that Landrum's defeat is so significant is that Landrum's jurisdiction had widely been known as a "judicial hellhole" and Landrum was considered to be the
. Particularly, the silica litigation of the mid-2000s, which was discredited and widely considered to be rife with fraud, found a home in Landrum's courtroom even after it was thrown out of the federal multi-district litigation (MDL).
Landrum's defeat didn't garner any statewide press, but his defeat was a major blow to trial lawyers. It was also real political vindication for Stacey Pickering in his own backyard.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric disorder associated with portal hypertension. The mechanism of this disorder is still being characterized and the management has relied primarily on lowering the amount of ammonia present in the gastrointestinal tract or reversing liver disease by replacing the diseased liver. It is, however, not established that all the effects of hepatic encephalopathy are reversed by liver transplantation. In this review, we have outlined the mechanisms underlying HE and the pros and cons of reversibility of HE.

A-2.1).
As a general rule, the Société does not collect personal information on those who use its site or on individuals (hereinafter, both referred to as an "individual" or "individuals"). Individuals navigate the Société's website anonymously.
In some cases, however, the Société may ask individuals to provide personal information such as their name, address, and email address, when required in the situations listed below. Individuals may always refuse to comply with this request, in which case the Société may not be able to follow through with their applications.
The policy does not apply to the personal information of employees of the Société, or to information that is not deemed to be "personal information" within the meaning of the relevant statutes.
Situations where the Société may collect personal information
The Société is aware of its duty to protect any personal information it might receive from individuals and wishes to inform these individuals of the grounds on which such information may be collected and the use that may be made thereof. The Société does not collect any personal information from individuals navigating its website. If an individual agrees to provide the requested personal information, that individual is deemed to have consented to the Société collecting and using it. If personal information provided by individuals is likely to be used for purposes other than those listed below or those that could reasonably arise therefrom, the Société will notify individuals and obtain their consent, unless statutorily exempted. The personal information sent by individuals is accessible only to employees or consultants of the Société who require it to carry out their work. These employees and consultants must furthermore use passwords and other approvals to access the database or dedicated servers. The Société may disclose the personal information to its mandataries and contracting parties in the context of services performed on behalf of the Société. The contracts binding the Société to these contracting parties and mandataries provide that the personal information can be used only for the purpose for which it was disclosed. The Société has implemented physical, organizational, and technological means of protection to conserve the safety of the personal information.
(1) Subscribing to a newsletter
Individuals may subscribe to the Société's newsletter. The Société may then request the individual's email address to send him or her the newsletter.
(2) Participating in a contest
Individuals may participate in contests launched by the Société. The Société may then ask individuals to provide their name, address, age, and email address to confirm the individual's identity and admissibility to the contest, and to announce the results of the contest, if need be. For some of the Société's contests, individuals who chose to participate may be asked several other pieces of personal information.
(3) Submitting projects following a public call for projects.
In the context of a public call for projects, the Société requests specific personal information such as individuals' email address, name, address, and telephone number to be able to reach them if they submitted a project.
(4) Applying for jobs, internships, volunteer work, and consulting
Should individuals wish to apply for a job, internship, volunteer or consulting position, the Société will request specific personal information such as their email address, name, address, and telephone number so they can be reached if their application is accepted.
(5) Submitting proposals or partnerships
Should individuals wish to submit a proposal or a partnership offer, the Société will request specific personal information such as their email address, name, address, and telephone number so they can be reached if their proposal or offer is accepted.
(6) Contacting customer service
If you write to or call the Société, it may keep your name and contact information (telephone number, address, email address) to follow up.
Limitation of liability
Despite the Société's adoption of a Protection of Personal Information Policy, personal information may sometimes be unlawfully disclosed or intercepted, in which case the individual will hold the Société harmless of any liability, subject to the Société committing a gross fault.
Tracking logins and statistical summaries
The Société may keep track of logins to its website for statistical purposes. The data thus collected will determine which browser was used to navigate the site, at what time, how long it lasted, what pages were seen, the location of the individual, and will otherwise be used to analyse the individual's online behaviour. This tracking of logins cannot identify the individual who navigated the site. The statistical data is entirely anonymous.
A cookie, as they are commonly referred to in cyberspeak, is information—a mere numerical sequence—sent by a website to your browser that is temporarily accommodated in your browser's memory or on your computer's hard drive.
Generally, the Société's website does not send cookies to the browsers of individuals. The site does occasionally require the use of cookies, however, to improve the user experience, by avoiding repeatedly posting the same notices or messages for example.
Links to third-party sites
The website of the Société contains links to third-party websites. These links are intended to be solely for information purposes. Individuals who click on these links will leave the Société's site. The Société has no power over third-party websites and under no circumstances may the Société be held liable due to the fact that these sites appear on its website. Thus, any personal information that individuals may disclose to these other websites will necessarily be subject to any protection of personal information policy used by these other sites. In that case, the Société may never be held liable for any abuse that might arise therefrom. Consequently, the Société recommends that individuals carefully read the protection of personal information policy governing these other websites.
By providing your personal information, you consent to the Société collecting, using, and disclosing this information, in the manner described in this Protection of Personal Information Policy as it may be amended from time to time, or in the manner described prior to the collection, use, or disclosure, or at the time of collection, use, or disclosure of this information, as the case may be. Individuals who do not wish to have their personal information collected, used, or disclosed should refrain from providing their personal information to the Société. Individuals who have provided their personal information to the Société and who want to withdraw consent as to the retention, use, or disclosure of their personal information, must send an email to vieprivé[email protected]. Subject to applicable legal or contractual restrictions, consent may be withdrawn at any time by sending a reasonable notice. The Société may not be able to provide certain information or answer an individual's request if that individual withdraws consent. When required to do so by law, the Société may gather, use, or disclose your personal information, without your consent, such as when compelled to do so to comply with a legally permitted inquiry by a government agency, a court order, or as otherwise required by law.
Retention of personal information
Personal information will be kept by the Société for as long as the Société exists. Afterwards, all the Société's files, including the personal information they contain, will be sent to the Ville de Montréal for archival purposes.

The CBI has started an initiative to introduce school children to forensic methods, hoping it'll help curb corruption.
It's Friday. The old, red brick building of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in Delhi is bustling with activity. The hasty footsteps and sound of several voices speaking at once are a rare occurrence these days at this crumbling complex which once teemed with investigators, policemen, scientists, lab technicians and journalists. All that changed when the bureau shifted its operations to the swanky new headquarters nearby earlier this year. The entire staff and all the departments moved to the glassy building, but for the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL). The men and women who provide scientific support for crime investigation stayed behind and now sit in a maze of laboratories and departments scattered across the building. Through the week, they work undisturbed and in silence. But Fridays are different.
On this day, a fairly large group of school children — about 70 of them from the 10th, 11th and 12th standards — land up at the building to learn firsthand from experts the ways to fight corruption, various means of lifting clues from a crime scene and the stages of investigation. It's an activity the CBI started on July 22 this year — sometime in between the two Anna Hazare protests against corruption. Ever since, about 10 schools from across the capital have been through the sessions.
"Forensic science is based on the Locard principle," a scientist informs a group of eager students of Army Public School, Delhi Cantonment. Locard, she tells them, was the director of the world's first crime laboratory and the premise behind his theory is: "Every contact leaves a trace." A criminal, she explains, takes something with him but he also always leaves something behind. As she asks for a volunteer, several hands shoot up. Vishal Rathi, a student of Class XI, finally gets to pose as a corrupt official.
The scientist hands him currency notes worth Rs 800, but the boy is smart and holds the money gingerly from the corner. Even so, when she gets him to dip his hands in a jar, the solution in it turns a deep pink. "This is what you do when you go out into the world and people demand money from you to do their job. All you need to do is inform the Anti Corruption Bureau," she says. The students want to know what if the man was wearing gloves or asks for the money to be put in a drawer. "Even then, the trace will be there," they are told.
From here the students head to the biology division, where scientific assistant U S Thakur shows them how CFSL identifies whether the brown spots at a crime scene are blood or some other stains. "This," he says, "is a preliminary test which can detect up to 200 nanogram of blood." Inside the fingerprint laboratory, there is absolute silence as the students watch fingerprints being lifted from a multicolour surface with the help of UV light. Several students want their own fingerprints on the lifting strips and the lab assistant happily obliges.
But what draws considerable interest is the lie detection department. After they are told how a polygraph test is conducted, practically every student demands to be wired up to face the test. The officer conducting the session allows himself a smile and says, "Not in this funny environment; it won't work." The test, he explains, detects only the fear of detection and not the lie. That's something not many knew. After a crash course in voice detection, computer forensic and identifying forged documents, students head to the new CBI building for a power point presentation on what the agency does.
And then it's an open house where senior CBI officials, including joint directors and DIGs, face a barrage of questions from them: What about corruption in the police? What is happening to the Aarushi murder case? My parents mentioned a wrong address on the passport; is that corruption? What do we do if schools demand donation? Is the CBI sometimes pressured?
The idea of the sessions with students took shape over a casual conversation between CBI Director A P Singh and senior officials about how children now lobby against firecrackers. "We thought if we can get students to lobby against corruption, starting from their homes, a lot can change in society," says an official. "What's heartening is that at this stage, before they are launched into life, they're all very clear that corruption is bad."

ZScript (formerly known as DoomScript) is a text-format lump used to create classes or structs for use in ZDoom. It is similar to C++ in many ways, and allows for more advanced control of actors and levels than DECORATE has.
You can include other lumps for processing similar to DECORATE as so:
#include "ZScript/Const.txt"
Due to how ZScript is processed, it is possible to name a file which conflicts with other mods or the internal files. For example, if you have a file in your mod named ZScript/Const.txt, it will prevent the game from loading this file correctly as it is already defined internally. To avoid such conflicts, it is recommended to have a subfolder named after your mod, such as:
#include "MyMod/Const.txt"
As of GZDoom 2.3.0, ZScript is enabled by default and does not require any command-line parameter. The last development versions of ZDoom past 2.8.1 require the -zscript command line parameter to enable loading of ZScript lumps.
A full ZScript file is known as a translation unit, akin to the C programming language's definition of the term.
Combining ZScript and DECORATE
It is perfectly possible to use both DECORATE and ZScript simultaneously. For example, ZScript might be used to create some custom action function, which is then available to regular DECORATE actors. The ZScript code is processed and compiled before the DECORATE code; this means that DECORATE actors can inherit from ZScript actors, but not vice-versa. For references that are only needed at run-time, rather than compile-time (such as calling a function to spawn an actor), then there is no such restriction: a ZScript actor can spawn a DECORATE actor, or vice-versa.
ZScript topics
- Coding language differences
- Converting DECORATE code to ZScript
- Custom action functions
- Controlling dynamic lights (GZDoom only: not supported by ZDoom)
- Dynamic arrays
- Object scopes and versions
- Structs
- Using pointers in ZScript
- Using CVars in ZScript
- ZScript actor flags
- ZScript actor functions
- ZScript classes
- ZScript custom properties
- ZScript functions
- ZScript global variables
- ZScript named arguments
- ZScript variables
- ZScript virtual functions
- ZScript special words
Advanced topics
These sections are for advanced users and programmers who want more control over their mods. The best course of action for modders would be to brush up on a programming language like Java or C++. These topics will assume all who read them know how to work with ZScript, preferably most of the above information.
Also consider opening the gzdoom.pk3 file using SLADE or similar. The base file contains all manner of ZScript code which the modder can learn from as examples.
