New Audio Book: Commissary to the Gentiles, part 1

American Dissident Voices broadcast of 7 December, 2019
by Kevin Alfred Strom
Listen to the broadcast
IN 1928 a nationally-known Jewish writer admitted that Christianity was a Jewish invention which utterly transformed — and, more importantly, intentionally transformed — the spiritual outlook of European Man. From the moment that Paul of Tarsus introduced the Jew-centric religion to the Roman world, a process began in which the deadly memes of "equality," loving your enemies, and worshipping your enemy's god would ultimately corrupt our spirit, fatally confuse our sense of identity, and sap our will to resist our exploitation and dispossession.
The writer was Marcus Eli Ravage and his admission, which was titled "Commissary to the Gentiles," was couched in terms of ironic, intemperate boasting and smug, casually assumed Jewish superiority. It was the second in a two-part series by Ravage carried in one of the leading media outlets of the time, The Century Magazine. We've already carried the first in the series, "A Real Case Against the Jews," in an American Dissident Voices program earlier this year.
We now present this most important work, newly-recorded by Vanessa Neubauer — "Commissary to the Gentiles," part 1. Listen:

WHATEVER INSPIRED Jewish author Marcus Eli Ravage to write this frank admission of the Jewish role — and a malicious role it was — in exporting Christianity to the White world, isn't known with certainty. This piece, A Real Case Against the Jews, contains some unjustified boasting, some psychological flim-flam, and some ducking of criticism of real and destructive Jewish traits. Overall it embodies an attitude of assumed superiority — of thinking that his confused White audience just won't really "get it" — and will be so attached to the alien religion the Jews imposed on them over a thousand years ago that the Whites' reaction will be to become too embarrassed to criticize Jews any more. You can almost hear Ravage laughing.

A New Religion for Us, part 9
American Dissident Voices broadcast of March 17, 2018
TODAY WE continue with part 9 of our series, "A New Religion for Us" — as we study the foundations of religion in the prehistory, history, and psychology of our race — from the beginnings of language — to the creation of myths — to imaginative artistic works, like Tolkien's, that conjure fantastic worlds of the imagination that our race seems to crave as an escape from our day-to-day reality — to the basic psychological characteristics that make our race such easy prey for supposedly "spiritual" confidence rackets — a field of endeavor in which the Jews certainly excel.
I give you the words of classicist and scholar Revilo P. Oliver, from his book The Origins of Christianity, read by Miss Vanessa Neubauer. Listen:

by Revilo P. Oliver
IT MAY BE that, as Carl Jung claims, religiosity is an inherent and inherited tendency of our nature, determined by the archetypal symbols that are latent in our subconscious minds as our inheritance from the collective unconscious of the race to which we belong – a psychic substratum that was formed by our race's collective experience during all the millennia since it became a human species. But although Jung's arguments are plausible, his theory is, at the limit, no more demonstrable than the many that are more superficial.

Stop Being Insane
The fact that millions of White people have been conditioned to identify with and assimilate in detail Jewish tales like "Moses and the burning bush," shown here, and know almost nothing of their own history and prehistory, is a tragedy. Such deluded Whites often act against their own interests.
American Dissident Voices broadcast of November 18, 2017
THERE ARE repeating patterns in Jewish deception that allow you to recognize Jewish lies when you hear them, even if the talking head you are listening to is not a Jew. Watch for these characteristics:
1. The claim that Jews are an "oppressed people,"
2. The claim that the Jews are an especially holy or sacred people,
3. The claim that some biological or behavioral minority (excluding Whites, of course) is being "oppressed" by Whites, especially Whites with traditional values,
4. The promotion of cult-like or abstruse belief systems led by Jewish "intellectuals," and
5. Attacks on the latest enemy who is being demonized and dehumanized, often a a pro-White person or institution, or a leader of a country against which the Jewish establishment wants the United States to make war.

The Great Revilo Oliver: The Jewish Plague, part 10
White people, their brains fogged by Bible teachings absorbed in childhood, often identify with the ancient Jews and their hatred of the Romans who ruled them. In reality, modern Whites should take the opposite view: the Romans were our ancestors or our ancestors' kin and, in Jewish-Roman or Christian-Roman conflicts, we should identify with them, not with the Jews and the Christian sects they spawned, who were a corrosive, destructive force and the enemies of European civilization.
A rational look at the Jewish Question: Were Christian beginnings tied to violent Jewish cults which revolted against White civilization in Roman times? Have the adaptations that made Christianity acceptable to Aryan minds been gradually abandoned?

WHEN GEORGE SOROS foments bloody riots in America and Europe, using rioters inflamed by equalitarian ideology and hatred of their betters, are we seeing an echo of the Jewish cults in the Roman Empire who lashed out again and again against the hated Whites? — Jewish sects which predicted a "messiah" who would lead them in a general slaughter of White people and in the enslavement and subjugation of the survivors? Was Christianity an outgrowth of these sects, some of them led by Jews who claimed to be that "messiah," and who later artfully advertised their cults to non-Jews in order to swell their ranks? Is Christianity increasingly returning to its real Jewish roots, as it gradually but continuously drops its European mask and becomes an instrument of genocide against us?

WHAT WAS THE REAL, hidden origin of Christianity? What was the Jewish connection to the many early Christian sects? — many of which were explicitly Jewish supremacist, and which had doctrines and practices that can only be described as perverted and bizarre.
No man is better qualified to increase our understanding of these questions than the late, great Professor Revilo Pendleton Oliver — classicist, linguist, scholar, and one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. This week we continue our excerpts from his insightful work on the subject, under the title, "The Jewish Plague, part 9." I give you the words of Revilo P. Oliver:

Radical, Rational Racial-Nationalism: Needed Now More Than Ever
The "chosen holy Jews" and "Israel in Bible prophecy" drivel emitted by this typical Christian Zionist preacher is poison for our people. We must liberate our folk from such hucksters and the forces that created them.

THE IDEA of "awakening the people" is a perennial chestnut of pro-American and pro-White political efforts — from paleoconservative Birchers to racialists of almost every stripe. "Awaken the American people" or "awaken White people" to their peril, and all will follow from that.
Our people slumber amidst a haze of media lies — so certainly awakening is necessary. But, equally certainly, all does not follow from that. The proper foundation has not been laid. The people themselves are deeply corrupted and deeply compromised — and have been for centuries. The foundation they once had, decades ago, was pretty poor to begin with — and has now been uprooted and all but destroyed. "The people" are, for the most part, totally incapable of drawing the necessary conclusions and taking the right course of action — even when presented with the relevant facts.

American Dissident Voices: Petty Nationalism and Religion
American Dissident Voices broadcast of March 8, 2014
ONE LETTER-WRITER to American Dissident Voices objected to my article on US meddling in Ukraine, "The New Cold War," calling it "an insult to true nationalists on the streets." I suggested in my program that the Ukrainian patriots who've been tempted to ally themselves with the regime in Washington and the EU — or who acted in a way that advanced the EU/US agenda — would eventually come to deeply regret those decisions. I also stated that, despite my reservations about Putin and the new Russia, that nation has positioned itself in opposition to the world plantation being set up by the Jewish elite and its US military bully boys. I suggested that it is not in the interest of any White nation, Ukraine included, to support Washington's side in this emerging conflict. (ILLUSTRATION: The legend means "God is with us," something most every warring nation has said. What is the difference between racial-nationalism and petty nationalism? What role should religion play?)

A "TAX DODGE." A "bogus religion." Something he "abandoned" in later years in hopes of attracting Christians. So have William Pierce's opponents, both within and without White nationalist circles, characterized Cosmotheism, the religion founded by Dr. Pierce. (ILLUSTRATION: Dr. William Pierce, founder of both Cosmotheism and the National Alliance. Image source: Kevin Alfred Strom)
But these characterizations are false. The Cosmotheist world view — the view that our race is the vanguard of the Universe's evolving self-consciousness — was central to everything that Dr. Pierce wrote, uttered, and built during the last quarter century of his life.

In William Gurstelle's ReMaking History series from Maker Media, Inc., readers get exponentially closer to the inventors who shaped our modern world compared to other histories of technology. This is because Gurstelle doesn't merely tell the stories of remarkable inventors from the past, he gets into their fascinating minds by illustrating how to make one's own version of the inventor's handiwork.
The new Volume 3 of ReMaking History bearing the subtitle Makers of the Modern World explores the early modern era and builds on the earlier two volumes covering pre-modern history to the Industrial Age. In this volume, seven inventors and their technologies—destined to fill basements and garages everywhere—include Alessandro Volta and electroplating; Humphrey Davy and the first electric light; George Cayley and the aeronautical glider; the Lumiere Brothers and the movie projector; Rudolf Diesel and the automobile engine; Hans Goldschmidt and the thermite reaction; August Möbius and the Möbius Strip; and Louis Poinsot and loads, moments and torques.

Les  sont un groupe d'intellectuels appartenant aux Jeunes hégéliens qui se réunissait à Berlin.

Club des Docteurs
Originellement appelé  en 1837, il comprenait des personnes éprises de réformes politiques et sociales radicales notamment Rutenberg, Meyen, Köppen, Bauer, Karl Marx etc.

En 1842 le club des docteurs devient pour protester contre la politique réactionnaire du gouvernement prussien qui combat l'hégélianisme, le cercle des Freien (cercle des Hommes Libres ou les affranchis). Les gazettes de Voss et de Spener s'offusquent et demandent la dissolution immédiate de ce cercle.

Freien : membres
Le groupe se réunit alors principalement autour de Bruno Bauer. On y compte Edgar Bauer, Friedrich Engels (mais Marx et Engels se rencontrent à Paris), Ludwig Buhl, Friedrich Sass, Hermann Maron, Karl Nauwerck, l'éditeur Otto Wigand, Edouard Meyen, Köppen, Arnold Ruge, Marie Dähnhardt, Max Stirner, le poète August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben, Georg Herwegh, Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Jordan, divers révolutionnaires, féministes, étudiants et officiers etc.

Lieux
Les Freien se réunissaient dans des établissements de boisson à Berlin, notamment au café Stehely ou à l'estaminet ou cabaret Hippel, un bar à vin.

Activités
Ils socialisaient et débattaient toute la nuit de philosophie, de religion et de politique. Ils critiquaient la religion révélée et l'Église luthérienne, ils échangeaient parfois très vivement leur point de vue sur la politique de l'époque et notamment le règne de Frédéric-Guillaume IV de Prusse, le christianisme, la philosophie hégélienne et son application pratique. Un jour de novembre 1842, Arnold Ruge vint proposer à Bruno Bauer et d'autres Freien de fonder une université ; Bauer refusa, affirmant que sa critique (il avait publié diverses « critiques », sur les Évangiles notamment) devait rester libre et fluide.
L'entrevue devint une altercation immortalisée sous forme de dessin caricatural par Engels dans une « épopée héroïco-comique » intitulée Le Triomphe de la foi, datant de 1842.

Fin : dépassement
Le groupe cessa d'être actif vers la fin des années 1840 ; cela peut s'expliquer par le fait que leurs activités étaient surveillés par les polices et religions; ou par le fait que les idées et notamment la fameuse « critique » de Bruno Bauer avaient été dépassées et violemment critiquées par le livre L'Unique et sa propriété de Max Stirner (membre effacé, discret ou en retrait des Freien). Cependant, les Freien ne constituaient pas véritablement un groupe idéologique homogène, il s'agissait plutôt du regroupement de différents points de vue de la gauche hégélienne (ou jeunes hégéliens).

The approach grew out of work that Dr. Maria Montessori did with 60 children in a deprived part of Rome, in 1907. She was at that time a qualified physician, renowned advocate for woman's rights, and a professor of anthropology at the University. Clearly a 'high-flyer'. Yet she was so amazed by what she saw the children reveal, that she gave up much of her other work, including her chair at the University, to focus on working with little children.
Montessori's training as a physician brought a uniquely scientific approach to her work with children. She observed children in her medical practice, and studied their physical and mental growth. Her central conclusion was this: children teach themselves. They build their minds by interacting with the environment. Science agrees with her today.
Over the next five decades Dr Montessori, together with her son and collaborator Mario, articulated a comprehensive approach to education from birth to maturity. The entire approach centered around her discovery that children teach themselves if they are offered freedom within an environment specially prepared to meet their developmental needs.
The design of these 'prepared environments' evolved over a number of decades, and continues to evolve under the guidance of the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) set up by Dr. Montessori in 1929.
Isn't an educational approach that is over 100 years old a little out-dated? After all, the content of what children learn today is utterly different from what they learnt even 10 years ago. Yet the ability that the child has to teach themselves is a psychological fact of the human being that has not changed for at least 10,000 years. Any educational approach designed around what children learn is constantly out-of-date – unlike an educational approach built around how children learn. This is why we say Montessori is 'timeless education for a changing world'.
Ultimately, the child is the designer of these 'prepared environments'. Everything we offer in a prepared environment exists because children have shown a deep interest in them. When we offer a child a particular exercise with a particular material, it is because a number of children at multiple points in the past, and in multiple countries, have done exactly those exercises with exactly those materials without being shown by an adult.
Montessori is a worldwide movement today, with some 8,000 schools in 6 continents. Famous Montessori graduates include the founders of Amazon, of Wikipedia and of Google, who credit their success to a Montessori education.
The AMI continues to guide the evolution of Montessori pedagogy, ensures the quality and rigour of its teacher training programme remains high, evaluates and approves the manufacturers of Montessori materials (there are just three approved manufacturers in the world), and represents the collective voice of individuals around the world who love this way of seeing the child.
'In our midst we have someone who has become the symbol of our great expectations for education and world peace'.
Ultimately, Montessori is education for peace: a peaceful and harmonious relationship between adults and children, leading to a peaceful and harmonious world.

ADC Legend Bang, of T1 Fame, Retires from Pro LoL
by Petar Vukobrat in League of Legends | Dec, 7th 2021
Bae "Bang" Jun-sik, one of the best AD carries of all time and a bonafide legend of the game, has decided to hang his mouse and keyboard and call it a career — and what a spectacular journey it was! One that is adorned with more titles and medals than most players could ever dream of.
One would need an astounding list of superlatives so as to accurately highlight his many accomplishments. As far as careers go, Bang has had a historic one.
His stint with T1, formerly known as SK Telecom T1, lasted for five years — an eternity in esports. During that half a decade, Bang had won more LCK titles with T1 than he knows what to do with, two Mid-Season Invitational trophies, and two World Championships (back-to-back, no less). Add to that a host of second and third-place finishes, and you get a player who can rightfully be deemed as one of the best — if not the best — AD carry of all time.
Now sure, he had some of the best teammates one can imagine by his side, but Bang always carried his fair share of the weight. After dropping to Samsung Galaxy in the 2017 World Championship finals, however, his career took a… strange turn.
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
Five years with T1 were seemingly enough for Bang. After that historic run, he had decided to move to North America and compete in the LCS. Unfortunately, it wasn't the smoothest of transitions and, frankly, Bang had nothing to show for his efforts a full year into his NA tenure. His stint with Evil Geniuses was a lot more successful but it ultimately didn't result in anything overly impressive or noteworthy — history isn't particularly kind to those who almost got the job done. After getting eliminated from the 2020 LCS Summer playoffs, Bang and EG parted ways.
The legendary marksman then signed with Afreeca Freecs. It was a pairing that didn't bear much fruit, although it certainly wasn't for a lack of trying. That team, while undeniably talented, failed to get off the ground. A Top 6 finish in the most recent Summer Split was respectable, but far from impressive.
The Door's Still Open
Bang had to retire in order to fulfill his (mandatory) duties in the Korean military. Still, this might not be the definitive end of his playing career — he could still return further down the line, although it's fair to say that the world of competitive League will look a whole lot different at that point.
"Being a professional gamer for about 10 years and this year being my last, I am officially announcing my retirement as a professional gamer and will be fulfilling my duty in the military service. Walking in the one direction of a professional gamer with my experience in League of Legends, I was able to form many valuable relationships, accumulate precious memories and make various achievements in my lifetime," Bang said through Instagram.
"These experiences are something that I feel blessed and most grateful of. I know that in the future, there will be new things and experiences that are going to be totally different from the world I have been in but will take my past experiences and achievements as a cornerstone in moving forward. Thank you again for everyone's support in professional gamer "Bang" up until now, and I will be back soon again as a better person and better "Bang" in the future," the former T1 alumnus concluded.
Retirements in esports often don't last long, so no one should be overly surprised if Bang decides to mount a comeback immediately upon fulfilling his duties with the military — he certainly wouldn't be the first one to do it.

South Dakota teachers received a salary increase in 2016 after the Legislature approved a half cent sales tax dedicated to improving their pay.
Two years later, school administrators say the number of classroom openings have declined and hiring options have improved. But staffing challenges continue for some subject areas and in smaller districts.
Education officials caution that lawmakers must do more to keep teacher pay competitive in the state.
A group appointed by the Legislature is reviewing the pay situation and working to develop recommendations for the upcoming session.
Reporter Tom Griffith examines the status of education pay in the latest story from South Dakota News Watch.

iSucceed offers all the same Advanced Opportunities as any other public school. Through the state Fast Forward program, all students in all grades have access to free money to pay for college level and overload courses. All students have $4,125.00 to use towards these opportunities. Students interested in Advanced Opportunities options should contact their iSVHS Counselor for coordination.
Overload Courses: An overload course is a high school level course that is taken in excess of the student's regular school work load. These courses are offered online, during the summertime, and after school. In the event that a student incurs a cost for such courses, the Fast Forward program can pay up to $225.00 for the cost of the course. Overload courses must be above and beyond the full course load offered by the iSucceed, and all overload courses must be approved by the iSVHS Counselor. For most overload courses, iSucceed uses Idaho Digital Learning Academy.
Dual Credit: Dual credit are courses taken by high school students that are transcribed on their high school and college transcripts. The Fast Forward program can pay for up to $75.00 per credit, and in most cases, the cost of these credits is $65.00. Dual Credit courses can also be taken online, by virtual conferencing, or in some cases students can go directly to the college/university campus.
Exams: Student can utilize Fast Forward funds to pay for a variety of college-credit bearing or professional technical exams. These include Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), or Career & Technical Education (CTE) exams.
Through the state, students can earn the Early Graduation Scholarships when graduating at least one full year early. These scholarships equate to roughly $1,500.00.
Scholarships can be used at Idaho public post-secondary institutions. The awarded amount will double for students who graduate two years early and will triple for students who graduate three years early. If a student elects not to attend a college or university immediately after high school, they will have up to 28 months to utilize the scholarship before it expires.
iSucceed provides options for students to challenge courses for credit. In most cases, this means that a student would request to challenge a course by taking an exam. If the student meets the level of mastery set by the local school board for a given set of standards, the school can grant the student a high school credit without requiring the student take the course.
Please visit the State Department of Education website for the most up-to-date information regarding Advanced Opportunities.


Back in 1911 during the launch of the ill-fated ocean liner Titanic, its engineers claimed that the ship was practically unsinkable. Of course, now we all know what happened to the mammoth ship 103 years ago—it hit an iceberg, which tore a hole through its hull, and not even its state-of-the-art 'anti-sinking' watertight door system could save it from its fate.
The lesson from maritime archeology shows that no ocean-faring craft is unsinkable. If you're in the business of living at sea for any stretch of time, or just someone who owns a boat, it's a grand idea to know at least what to do to patch up a hull leak, or how to do emergency repairs to buy yourself time.
A hull breach could be a crack in the hull which can get more extensive if not welded up, or it could have been caused by failing bow thrusters, or a damaged rudder or propeller (which can be replaced via local industrial millwright services). The obvious, one of course, because you'll feel it, is when the vessel has run aground, causing a nasty dent or tear in the hull which requires patching. Whatever the cause, a hull breach isn't something that can wait a minute more.
One of the first things you'll have to do is to keep the water from touching anything delicate—your personal gear, as well as any equipment on the boat's deck. The next logical step would be to find the source of the leak, though this may be difficult; on several occasions, water enters point A, but shows up at point B. This is where the inner liners tend to 'distribute' the leaks to points situated far from the entry point. Keep this information in mind.
A few more 'ingenious' solutions: a hole that's bigger and rounder can be temporarily plugged with a lifejacket wrapped in a towel. Plugging a hole in this way may seem like a bad idea at first, but if you fire up the manual inflator on the lifejacket, the gush of water can slow down considerably. Of all the temporary repairs, though, a DIY collision mat could prove most effective. This involves using a sheet of damp-proof course membrane and strong grips (4 pieces, at least). Once applied the right way, the gushing water could subside significantly.
The ultimate solution is to get the vessel to head towards the nearest ship repair services, such as Central Machine and Marine, where they could apply an industrial-level fix (on the damage) that could last for much longer.

The Manila Times – 2019 elections: 'Laway' of Venezuelans or 'talino' of Filipinos? (Part 5)
By Nelson Celis | The Manila Times
THE case filed by AES Watch before the Ombudsman on June 18, 2013 didn't flourish. There was neither a hearing conducted nor a decision made by that office. Actually, it was the second case filed by AES Watch that was not even given a chance to be heard. The first one happened during Episode III when it was filed on June 29, 2010. As of this writing, these two cases are still awaiting the Ombudsman's decision. But of course, AES Watch has been very eager to receive a subpoena since 2010. When kaya? Or will these cases just be taken for granted?
One of the main complaints of the AES Watch in those cases was the use of uncertified Smartmatic automated election system (AES) in the 2010 and 2013 elections, including those apps running the PCOS machines. That means, Section 11 of the Automated Election Law (RA 9369) was violated: "The (Technical Evaluation) committee shall certify x xx not later than three months before the date of the electoral exercises, categorically stating that the AES, including its hardware and software components, is operating properly, securely, and accurately x xx." AES Watch argued then that the uncertified AES was illegal and was not fit to be used for our national elections. Hence, AES Watch, led by former Vice President Teofisto Guingona, declared: "By committing more errors than those recorded in 2010, by making arbitrary and highly irregular decisions during canvassing, and proclaiming winning candidates prematurely, the Comelec has turned the second automated elections from bad to worse, a technology and political disaster…aside from Comelec's non-compliance with the election law and the technical glitches…"
Apart from the 60-30-10 pattern discovered by Dr. Lex Muga, former Comelec IT Director Ernie del Rosario had observed an interesting 9-3 formula; that is, 9 winning candidates coming from the LP and 3 from UNA. Del Rosario tipped off the AES Watch group, including Muga, about it via SMS on the late evening of the election when PPCRV results reporting stopped. On the other hand, Dr. Pablo Manalastas found that the precinct results downloaded from the Comelec public access website differed from the same precinct results downloaded on another day/time, in significant ways.
As a sequel to the case filed on June 2013, AES Watch filed a petition on July 3, 2013 for habeas data, not with the Ombudsman, but before the Supreme Court: "The petition involved the P30 million intelligence funds and threats from the Comelec…against critics of the defective Smartmatic PCOS technology used in the 2010 and 2013 elections. This petition…seeks this Honorable Court's protection over well-oiled program by key members of a constitutional body…to place under surveillance or spy on, its perceived "enemies," who are actually no more than ordinary citizens concerned about electoral reforms in the country. Such a program, by their own admission supported by a P30-million intelligence fund, is not only unconstitutional because it stems from a misalignment of public funds…but above all because it violates the right of citizens to free expression and the right of citizens to privacy.
In a hearing at the Court of Appeals, AES Watch presented three checks issued to former Comelec Commissioner Gus Lagman as evidence that funds were used as intelligence and confidential funds. Lagman said that such fund was like the infamous Priority Development Assistance Fund or the congressional "pork barrel." AES Watch accused Brillantes of hinting that their members were under surveillance. AES Watch counsel, lawyer Harry Roque, said then: "Tanging Comelec lamang ang umamin na ginamit ang intel fund nila laban sa aming mga, diumano, kalaban at saboteurs ng election." Lagman on the other hand retorted, "Ano ba dapat ang imbestigahan? At meron P30 million binigay sa kanila ng Malacañang, para gastusin sa pag iimbestiga sa amin!"
Another mind-boggling mystery that was denied by Comelec was the nonstop printing of ballots at the Holy Family Printing on Congressional Road in Quezon City sometime in July 2013. AES Watch and a former Comelec lawyer, Melchor Magdamo, questioned it as the elections had been over more than two months ago! Magdamo said: "So there was a shortage of eight million ballots so it's possible they needed to fabricate eight million ballots!"
About the secret re-appointment of PPCRV as Chair of the Random Manual Audit (RMA) team in 2013, AES Watch wondered why PPCRV was appointed again inspite of its questionable credibility and poor performance in 2010. The team reported that more than half of the total 234 to be subjected to RMA had variances or discrepancies. What do you expect? That's nothing new as the 2010 RMA of the PCOS machines had only 99.6 percent accuracy rating, way below the required 99.995 percent in the Comelec's terms of reference (TOR). Worse than that, the Smartmatic's PCOS machine only attained a 97.215 percent accuracy rating during the mock elections in July 2012. In effect, the PCOS machines did not comply with the Comelec's TOR! And that its questionable accuracy in vote counting had been a risk issue ever since.

Big Ten Network Unveils New Logo and Brand Identity
Posted on October 25, 2020 by Jacob Szetela	Leave a comment
Rebranding Campaign Launches With Start of 2020 Big Ten Football Season
CHICAGO, Ill. – Today, the Big Ten Network unveiled a new logo and brand identity with the kickoff of the 2020 Big Ten football season. The transformation is intended to provide brand consistency and highlight the network's position as the home for Big Ten Conference events, news and storytelling.
"Since the Big Ten Network was created in 2007, our mission has been to serve as THE destination for fans and alumni on all things Big Ten," said Big Ten Network president, François McGillicuddy. "The new look leans heavily on the iconic "B1G" mark, which has come to represent the athletic and academic success of our 14 Big Ten universities, and underscores the nature of who we are and what we do."
The new network logo, as well as numerous school and sport-specific variations, will be implemented across all linear and digital platforms, including game broadcasts, studio shows, social media platforms, original programming and marketing applications. The logo was created by Pentagram, which also developed the Big Ten Conference logo.
The rebrand was developed in conjunction with both the Big Ten and FOX Sports, as well as external feedback encompassing research focus groups across multiple cities in the Big Ten. As part of the overall campaign, Troika will also produce a Big Ten Network brand campaign, launching with this 30-second spot on Friday, Oct. 23.
A revamped Big Ten Network+, featuring live streams of non-televised events and replays of televised events, is scheduled to launch in the coming weeks. One immediate change fans will notice this fall is the introduction sport-specific packages. Users are now able to choose a subscription based on sport in addition to the existing school-specific and league-wide options.

St Patrick came to Ireland in the 5th century with the mission of spreading the message of Christianity to the people of Ireland, his first step was to meet with the pagan high kings of Ireland and to convince them to allow him to spread his Christian word. Standing before them he reached down to the grasses at his feet and plucked a shamrock, he used this single shamrock to explain to the high kings how the Holy Father, the Holy Son and The Holy Spirit could all be part of one being. The high kings were amazed and gave St Patrick their permission to go and spread the message of Christianity to the people of Ireland.

Constitutional Assembly elections took place in Libya on 20 February 2014. Nominations for elections to the constituent assembly started on 6 October 2013; registration for candidates to the assembly was over as of 11 November 2013. The assembly will be composed of 20 members each from Libya's three regions: Tripolitania, Cyrenaica and Fezzan. The work of the committee is expected to last from March 2014 until July 2014. The constitutional declaration submitted in August 2011 by the formerly ruling National Transitional Council indicated that Congress itself would appoint the commission; however the General National Congress (GNC) voted instead to hold an election for the selection of individuals to the constitutional commission. The constitutional commission will draw up the constitution, which will then be up for vote in a referendum. As of early January 2014, 1,001,910 voters had registered via SMS.

The United Nations Support Mission in Libya has once again offered to support the electoral process, as they did with the GNC election that occurred in 2012.

Electoral law
A three-man committee was appointed by the GNC on 13 February 2013 to draft the electoral law.  The committee's three members represent each of Libya's historical regions; Tripolitania, Cyrenaica, and Fezzan, and it will also be backed by an advisory council taking one representative from each of Libya's 13 electoral constituencies.

Campaign
The elections are being boycotted by the Berber and Toubou ethnic groups, although 14 Toubou candidates registered to run in the elections. The Tebu National Assembly announced in April that they would run for seats.

Re-runs in some areas had to be held on 26 February 2014 due to difficulties on polling day. An election also took place for five Tebu seats on 26 April 2014 and for another two seats in Obari on 3 May 2014, leaving six Amazigh seats unresolved.

Results
On 26 February 2014, preliminary results for 10 constituencies across Libya were released, relating to 39 seats in the Constitutional Assembly. The results for 47 of the 60 seats were released on 2 March 2014.

Eastman welcomes one of the world's leading composers, Charles Wuorinen, as this year's Howard Hanson Visiting Professor of Composition. Wuorinen will be in residency at Eastman from Monday, November 12 through Friday, November 16. His visit will culminate in a concert celebrating Wuorinen's 80th birthday and featuring his compositions, on November 16, 7:30 p.m. in Kilbourn Hall at Eastman Theatre, with Eastman's Musica Nova, conducted by Brad Lubman and Edo Frenkel.
Wuorinen's residency also includes a master class with the composition department, a piano recital of compositions dedicated in his honor, a Composition Department Symposium, and a Music Theory Department Colloquium.
Eastman Associate Professor of Conducting and Ensembles Brad Lubman has known Wuorinen for at least thirty years, conducting his first Wuorinen piece in 1985 as a student himself. "When Wuorinen was first gaining recognition in the 1960s and '70s, he was considered by many to be a triple threat: not only a brilliant composer, but a highly skilled pianist and conductor. He was also a very important figure for music students in the late '70s and early '80s because in 1962, he founded The Group for Contemporary Music. The people in that ensemble set a standard of excellence, advocating for the importance of playing new music." Professor Lubman also noted that when Stravinsky passed away, his widow was in search of a composer to whom she could give Stravinsky's last sketches and commission a piece. Wuorinen was the composer honored with this commission, composing A Reliquary for Stravinsky in 1975.
Wuorinen will comment on compositions written by four Eastman composition students.
Featuring compositions by Anthony Cornicello, Elaine Cory, Louis Karchin '73E, Peter Lieberson, Harold Meltzer, Robert Morris '65E, Tobias Picker, Bruce Quaglia, James Romig, Harvey Sollberger, Edward J. F. Taylor, and John Zorn.
Coordinated with the journal Perspectives of New Music, set to publish a Festschrift for Wuorinen including scholarly articles on his music and compositions in his honor.
Two of the eight articles that will be published in the Festschrift, read by the authors, will be presented. Featuring works by Anton Vishio ofWilliam Patterson University, and Daphne Leong, from the University of Colorado at Boulder (a PhD graduate of the Eastman School).
Musica Nova, Brad Lubman, director, and Edo Frenkel, conductors.

On this page, I am compiling a database of original games that are known to work with the Retrode. If a SNES or Genesis game is not in this list, it has just not been tested but will most likely still work. Thanks go out to [ElmarE] and [JohannesS] for lending me piles of original hardware, and to [ColdFace], [MikeP], [FelixV], [AdamW], [JonY] and [EricZ] for additional testing. Last time I checked, this list had 387 entries.
Update: As of November 18, 2010, this list is no longer being maintained. The actual list of compatible games is much longer, so if you want to know if the Retrode supports a certain title, please ask on the forum.

Trout is the name for a number of species of freshwater fish belonging to the genera Oncorhynchus, Salmo and Salvelinus, all of the subfamily Salmoninae of the family Salmonidae.
Most trout such as Lake trout live in freshwater lakes and/or rivers exclusively, while there are others such as the Rainbow trout which spend two or three years at sea before returning to freshwater to spawn, a habit more typical of salmon.
The Albury Estate stocks Rainbow Trout with Brown Trout at certain times of the year. All fish are reared at the Albury Estate Fish Farm.
Trout that live in different environments can have dramatically different colorations and patterns. Mostly, these colours and patterns form as camouflage, based on the surroundings, and will change as the fish moves to different habitats. Trout in, or newly returned from the sea, can look very silvery, while the same fish living in a small stream or in an alpine lake could have pronounced markings and more vivid coloration; it is also possible that in some species this signifies that they are ready to mate. It is virtually impossible to define a particular colour pattern as belonging to a specific breed; however, in general, wild fish are claimed to have more vivid colours and patterns.
Trout are usually found in cool (50–60 °F, 10–16 °C), clear streams and lakes, although many of the species have anadromous strains as well. Young trout are referred to as troutlet, troutling or fry. They are distributed naturally throughout North America, northern Asia and Europe. Several species of trout were introduced to Australia and New Zealand by amateur fishing enthusiasts in the 19th century, effectively displacing and endangering several upland native fish species. The introduced species included brown trout from England and rainbow trout from California.
The species has been introduced for food or sport to at least 45 countries, and every continent except Antarctica. In some locations, such as Southern Europe, Australia and South America, they have negatively impacted upland native fish species, either by eating them, outcompeting them or transmitting contagious diseases.
Rainbow trout are predators with a varied diet, and will eat nearly anything they can grab. Their image as selective eaters is only a legend. Rainbows are not quite as piscivorous or aggressive as brown trout or lake trout (char). Young rainbows survive on insects, fish eggs, and smaller fish (up to 1/3 of their length), along with crayfish and other crustaceans. As they grow, though, the proportion of fish increases in most all populations. Some lake-dwelling lines may become planktonicfeeders. While in flowing waters populated with salmonids, trout eat varied fish eggs, including salmon and cutthroat trout, as well as the eggs of other rainbow trout, alevin, fry, smolt and even leftover carcasses.
Rainbow trout and steelhead are both highly desired food and sportfish. A number of angling methods are common. Rainbow trout are a popular target for fly fishers.
The IGFA recognizes the world record for rainbow trout was caught on Saskatchewan's Lake Diefenbaker by Sean Konrad on September 5, 2009. The fish weighed 48 lb, 0 oz (21.77 kg). Many anglers consider the Rainbow trout the hardest fighting trout species, as this fish is known for leaping when hooked and putting a powerful fight.
Rainbow trout is popular in Western cuisine, and is caught wild and farmed. It has tender flesh and a mild, somewhat nutty flavour. However, farmed trout and those taken from certain lakes have a pronounced earthy flavour which many people find unappealing; many shoppers, therefore, ascertain the source of the fish before buying. Wild rainbow trout that eat scuds (freshwater shrimp), insects such as flies, and crayfish are the most appealing. Dark red/orange meat indicates it is either an anadromous steelhead or a farmed rainbow trout given a supplemental diet with a high astaxanthin content. The resulting pink flesh is marketed under monikers such as Ruby Red or Carolina Red.
Steelhead meat is pink like that of salmon, and is more flavourful than the light-coloured meat of rainbow trout.
The brown trout (Salmo trutta) is an originally European species of salmonid fish. It includes both purely freshwater populations, referred to Salmo trutta and anadromous forms known as the sea trout, trutta.The latter migrates to the oceans for much of its life and returns to freshwater only to spawn. Sea trout in the UK and Ireland have many regional names, including sewin (Wales), finnock (Scotland), peal (West Country), mort (North West England) and white trout (Ireland).
The fish is not considered to be endangered, although, in some cases, individual stocks are under various degrees of stress mainly through habitat degradation, overharvest and artificial propagation leading to introgression. Increased frequency of excessively warm water temperatures in high summer causes a reduction in dissolved oxygen levels which can cause 'summer kills' of local populations if temperatures remain high for sufficient duration and deeper/cooler or fast, turbulent moreoxygenated water is not accessible to the fish. This phenomenon can be further exacerbated by eutrophication of rivers due to pollution – often from the use of agricultural fertilizers within the drainage basin.
In small streams, brown trout are important predators of macroinvertebrates, and declining brown trout populations in these specific areas would affect the entire aquatic food web. Trutta morpha fario prefers cold (though in comparison with other "trout", this species has a somewhat higher temperature preference of about 60-65°F, or 15.5-18.3°C), and well-oxygenated upland waters, especially large streams in mountainous areas.
Cover or structure is important to trout, and they are more likely to be found near submerged rocks, undercut banks, and overhanging vegetation. Structure provides protection from predators, bright sunlight, and associated high water temperatures. Access to deep water for protection in winter freezes, or fast water for protection from low oxygen levels in summer are also ideal.
Brown trout can live to ages of 20 years. Brown trout are active both by day and by night and are opportunistic feeders. While in fresh water, their diets will frequently include invertebrates from the streambed, other fish, frogs, mice, birds, and insects flying near the water's surface. The high dietary reliance upon insect larvae, pupae, nymphs and adults is what allows trout to be a favoured target for fly fishing. Freshwater brown trout range in colour from largely silver with relatively few spots and a white belly, to the more well-known brassy brown cast fading to creamy white on the fish's belly, with medium-sized spots surrounded by lighter halos. The more silver forms can be mistaken for rainbow trout.
Young brown trout feed on insects and other invertebrates such as shrimp, caddisflies, stoneflies, and mayflies. Both larvae and adults are taken, and the fish will eat whatever local insect life is abundant at the time. Larger fish are active predators of fish including young brown trout, suckers, sculpins, shad, whitefish and rainbow trout. Larger brown trout will also feed on small terrestrial animals that fall into the water, such as baby birds falling from overhanging nests, or even swimming mice or voles. Brown trout sometimes do not actively feed until the late afternoon or early evening, but when the weather is cool, they will feed during the day, as well. The largest browns feed under cover of darkness. Brown trout can be caught with artificial flies.


MARSEILLE, France, Feb 24, 2011 (AFP) - After wins for three of the four English teams left in the Champions League, Manchester United failed to keep up their side of the bargain with a dreary 0-0 draw at Marseille.
The result leaves their last-16 tie finely poised ahead of the return leg in Manchester on March 15 and United may feel concerned by their failure to create any clear-cut chances of note at Stade Velodrome.
The low-quality fare on show at the home of the French champions Wednesday was in stark contrast to the performances produced by United's Premier League counterparts Arsenal and Tottenham in their respective last 16 first-leg ties.
Spurs, Champions League debutants, executed a masterful smash-and-grab to beat AC Milan 1-0 in the San Siro, while Arsenal came from behind to defeat the all-conquering Barcelona 2-1 in a thrilling game in north London.
Chelsea also have one foot in the last eight following a 2-0 win at FC Copenhagen on Tuesday and Rooney sympathised with any fans who had tuned in with high hopes to watch United tackle Marseille.
"I can imagine!" he said, when told by journalists that the match had not made scintillating viewing for armchair fans.
"I watched both of those (Tottenham and Arsenal) games. They were great games and it's great to see Tottenham doing well in Europe."
Despite the disappointing nature of Wednesday's draw, Rooney said the onus was not on United to produce an all-out attacking performance in the second leg.
"I hope we do, but we'll just look to get the win," he said.
"At this stage of the competition, the win is the most important thing, however you do it."
In the absence of the injured Ryan Giggs, Rooney was asked to reprise the left-wing role he adopted during United's run to the final in the 2008-09 competition.
It was a task he performed with diligence, although his coach, Sir Alex Ferguson, admitted he was "better through the middle" after United shifted to a 4-4-2 late in the game.
"Obviously, when you're played out wide it is quite difficult to adjust if you haven't played there for a while but we've got injuries at the moment so if I have to do that, there's no problem with that," said the England striker.
One plus point for United in the draw with Marseille was the performance of 21-year-old defender Chris Smalling, who excelled alongside Nemanja Vidic in the middle of the United back four.
A summer signing from Fulham, Smalling was playing in his very first Champions League knockout game and admitted that it was an experience that would stay with him.
"Coming to Marseille, we knew what the stadium was going to be like and the other players had spoken about the atmosphere and said it was a great joy to be able to go out there and relish an opportunity like that," Smalling told AFP.
"A lot of my games this season have been at Old Trafford but to come here -- it's rare that you go out for the warm-up and you've got 90 percent of the fans already booing.
"It's great. Once you go in for the challenges and you've got the fans on your back, they're moments you relish in stadiums like these."
A 1-0 win for Arsenal against Stoke on Wednesday cut United's lead at the top of the Premier League to just a single point.
Ferguson's team now face Wigan, Chelsea and Liverpool in the league and an FA Cup tie with either Arsenal or Leyton Orient before the second leg against Marseille, and Rooney says it is vital the players keep their concentration.
"There are three massive games for us coming up now -- Wigan, Chelsea and Liverpool, and then maybe Arsenal after that in the cup," he said.
"It's a massive time for us in the season and we'll have to keep going and trying to create chances in those games.
"If we can get through those games, with a good amount of points, I'm sure we'll be up there."

Q: How to pass a variable file path to Robot Framework located on PYTHONPATH? Environment:
Robot Framework 2.7.5 (Jython 2.5.2 on java1.6.0_21)
Tomcat 7.0.32
Hi,
I am using RF embedded on a Java web application and am I having issues passing the --variablefile argument into the RobotRunner API.
According to User Guide, "Similarly to resource files, the path to the imported variable file is considered relative to the directory where the importing file is, and if not found, it is searched from the directories in PYTHONPATH". My variable file is located on /my/server/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib/Lib and I have been able so far to call a listener interface placing it either on the PYTHONPATH or the CLASSPATH, but apparently the variable file is not found unless using only an absolute path to it.
PYTHONPATH:
    /my/server/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib/robotframework-2.7.5.jar/Lib/robot/libraries
    /my/server/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib/robotframework-2.7.5.jar/Lib
    /my/server/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib/Lib
    __classpath__
    __pyclasspath__/
    .
    /my/server/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/bin
CLASSPATH:
    /my/server/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/bin/bootstrap.jar
    /my/server/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

Whenever I try to run the test passing the argument, i get the below error message:
.../robotframework>java -jar robotframework-2.7.5.jar --listener myListener --variable MYPARAM:sit --variablefile myVariableFile.py path\to\my\test

[ ERROR ] Importing variable file 'myVariableFile.py' failed: File or directory does not exist.
Since this is a web application, it wouldn't be good to set an absolute path to the variable file and is better to be able to rely on the PYTHONPATH directories for a search.

A: This issue has been reported as a bug (by the author of this question, I presume...). The author of robotframework confirmed that the current behavior is to not search PYTHONPATH for variablefiles specified on the command line.
For more information and to see if this has been fixed, go to the robotframework issue tracker for issue #1401

Dutch ringer Frank Majoor happened to be in Leiden in order to color-ring Black-headed Gulls for research purposes. First though he was able to catch the Caspian Gull. It was cleaned up as much as possible, measured, weighed (1274 grams) and fitted with metal ring Arnhem 5.468.540 and color ring White G= (provided by Roland-Jan Buijs). We hope it will do well and we're looking forward to any future re-sightings!

The strong winds along the Dutch coast of the last couple of days have moved large numbers of gulls inland, and also into Leiden. One of them was this first-calendar year Caspian Gull Larus cachinannans which was discovered 23 December. As you can tell from the photos, it was lightly covered in oil.

Johnson and Johnson says it will split into two companies
Move will "create two global leaders" in health commerce.
Updated: November 13, 2021 - 10:21am
said in a press release on Friday.
Major health corporation Johnson & Johnson this week announced its intent to split up into two entities, creating "a new publicly traded company" that will "create two global leaders" in the global health market.
The as-yet unnamed new company will "be a leading global consumer health company, touching the lives of over one billion consumers around the world every day," the company said in a press release on Friday.
The company, founded over 130 years ago, has become known over the past year for producing one of several COVID-19 vaccines used in the U.S.
The splitting of the corporation is intended to "enhance operational performance and strategic flexibility," the company's statement said.

1963: Synthesis and Structure of Macromolecules, Vol. XXVIII
Organizer: H. Edwin Umbarger
Jim Watson had early sketched a small diagram in which he suggested the relationship between DNA, RNA and protein synthesis, although the biochemical mechanisms involved were beyond even speculation. Later, in 1957, Francis Crick wrote of the "Central Dogma", that information passes from DNA to RNA to protein, and that the reverse step-from protein to RNA-was not possible. Crick also suggested that there were what he called "adaptor molecules" that, during protein synthesis, mediated between the chemically very different nucleotides of RNA and the amino acids of proteins.
Through the 1950s, much experimental effort was directed at elucidating the biochemistry that underlay the Central Dogma and by 1961, there were data on each step: Kornberg had found an enzyme that replicated DNA; Zamecnik and Hoagland had found Crick's adaptor molecules (although they were very different biochemically from what he had proposed) and were unraveling the steps of protein synthesis; the RNA intermediate between
DNA and proteins had been identified and named messenger RNA; and the three dimensional structure of proteins had been determined and Perutz had shown, for hemoglobin, the structural changes hemoglobin undergoes when it binds oxygen.
The 1953 Symposium had been notable for the first public presentation of the DNA double helix; the 1963 Symposium was remarkable for the extent to which the main themes derived from the double helix had been defined and pursued in the intervening ten years. Now it was possible to hold a Symposium in which the full sweep of DNA to RNA to Protein could be covered.
