Remember how Princeton University's president recently stated that their school was riddled with institutional racism?

by c w swanson

 Well, they just got this letter from the Education Department that will be guaranteed to make them wish they'd never opened their yaps to virtue signal.


That's - ahem! - some serious stuff.

If the government prevails they could claw back millions sent to this institution over many years.  And, the message to other idiot universities this sends to watch what they say is going to be taken very seriously.

The Real Problem: At Least 6 In 10 Americans Read Headlines … and NOTHING ELSE

Fewer Americans invest additional time into following the news more in-depth. The survey asked people about going in-depth for news two different ways. It asked whether people generally tried to get news in-depth on any subject in the last week. It also asked, when they recalled a breaking news story they followed in the last week, whether they had tried to find out more about it after initially learning of it.

Chicago “Black Site” Indicates America Has Passed the Point of No Return

by Joshua Krause

Homan Square black site

This past week, the creepy “Homan Square” detention facility was revealed to the public, and the story has been trending heavily throughout the alternative media. First person accounts of suspects being whisked away to the secret building without any official record of their whereabouts, with no access to a lawyer, while being subjected brutal interrogations, sounds like something you’d hear about from some 3rd world dictatorship.

But unfortunately, it’s happening right here in America as we speak. And if this facility existed for so long without the public’s knowledge, that begs the question: are there any more of these police run “black sites” that we don’t know about?

Obviously, this doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence for America’s future. If they can get away with this today, what will they try tomorrow? I don’t think any sane American thinks this will set a good precedent.

But more importantly, if you look at Homan Square from a historical perspective, the implications of its existence are far more gut wrenching. Most despotic regimes utilize a wide variety of terror tactics to keep their people in line, but the ability to make someone disappear (which is exactly what this facility is capable of) is the most effective.

Why? Because it preys upon two of the most prolific human fears.

First of all, there is our inherent fear of the unknown. When someone disappears without a trace, our imaginations will eventually concoct the worst possible explanation. And without knowing exactly how it happened, we have to accept the possibility that it could happen to us as well, and there is no way to stop it. So if your government is capable of this, then you have every reason to follow the rules and stay in line. You never know when you might be next.

Which brings me to the second fear. It preys upon our fear of other people. There are plenty of phobias that humans are capable of, but nothing is more terrifying than what your fellow humans might do to you when nothing can stop them. Snakes can bite you, bears can eat you, and water can drown you, but only your fellow humans are capable of torturing you, and only your fellow humans know what will hurt you the most. Combine that with the fear of the unknown, and you now have the most effective method of terror and control.

But there’s also a third factor that makes this tactic so effective. Most people don’t know it, because only those who have been “disappeared” know the awful truth.

For a better explanation, I’d like cite one of the most underrated historians of our time, Dan Carlin. If you’re a history buff and you’ve never heard of him, you don’t know what you’re missing. He doesn’t just know what he’s talking about, he knows how to relate history to our lives in the present.

In this short video, he explains why the Nazis and Soviets were able to convince millions of people to enslave and murder their countrymen. When we think of the Nazis, we often believe their control was fostered by their propaganda efforts, but that was only one small piece of the puzzle. In reality, their grip on the population was built upon their ability to make people disappear.

Keep that in mind when you read about Homan Square. If that place is an isolated incident, there may still be time to stop these secret facilities before they usher in a new age of terror. But if there are already dozens of these “Homan Squares” out there that we don’t know about, and they’re just getting warmed up, we may have passed the point of no return. If we ever become a country where everyone is afraid of disappearing for the slightest reason, then we are on the fast track to the kind of goose stepping tyranny that we’ve only read about.

So you want to learn to code, do you? Well, you happen to be in luck, as it has never been easier or cheaper to learn that new skill, and there are plenty of websites that teach coding and more. They will help turn you from zero to hero, as long as you stick to it and practice, practice, practice!

1. Codeacademy

learn to code

Codeacademy leads you through the process of learning to program web-oriented languages. Here you can learn Javascript, Python and Ruby, etc. The free environment provides a safe place for experimentation, as you can try things out without needing a web server or any other hardware or software. If you are starting from scratch (or have limited experience) then Codeacademy is a brilliant starting point. Not only are you provided with access to the courseware, but having the ability to test things is incredibly useful for safe try out.

2. Lynda.com

Lynda.com

The online tutorials offered by Lynda.com are recognized as some of the best e-learning courses out there. You need to pay for a monthly subscription, but this will give you access to over 2,000 courses covering over 140 different skill areas. Lynda.com isn’t just for learning to code: you will also get access to courses covering areas as diverse as 3D animation, business, video editing, and design.

This is great if you wish to study further and start on a new path. Coursera is one of the 10 websites that teach coding and more as it goes beyond learning to code, or, indeed, learning new technologies.

5. W3Schools.com

W3Schools.com

If you wish to learn the majority of the web-based languages, then W3Schools is an indispensable reference site. The site shows you how to code with and use HMTL, CSS, HTML5, Javascript, PHP and ASP, amongst others. What is great about the site is that if you search for a particular element of code it returns an example of how to use it practically. As a result you get something that you can adapt and put together to make a cohesive whole.

This allows you to get access to the latest documentation and code examples. Not only that, but it is the recommended way to get your apps and applications into app stores. There are many well-documented examples with code that you can run to get you started. You get shown how to use the XCode environment and start creating your first app. One prerequisite of developing for iOS is that XCode only runs within OSX, so you will need a Mac of some description.

7. Developer.Android.com

Developer.Android.com

For app developers wishing to learn how to code Android Java apps ready for the mobile platform, this is the place to start.

Microsoft provide lots of material on their developer network for the free and paid editions of their Visual Studio products. Learn how to master Visual Basic, C++ or C# for Windows environments using the .Net Framework. As with many of the others there are lots of tutorials and example code for you to build, run and play with. If you are wanting to develop apps for Windows, then this is a really great starting place and may well be the only stuff you ever need.

10. Instructables

Instructables

Instructables shows you how to get things done. This might involve getting an Arduino to communicate with the world, starting making use of a Raspberry Pi, or just generally hacking things together. There are many inspirational instructables, all created by the community. If you have a good set of instructions yourself, this is also something that you could contribute to. This finds its way into the 10 websites that teach coding and more as it does a lot more than just show you how to code.

Summary

If you want to learn some new skills, then spend some time looking through these websites that teach coding and more. You will no doubt find a mine of useful information and this can set you on a new path.

Non-Metabolizable (D-mannose) Sugar Quells Urinary Tract Infections Caused by E. Coli

by Bill Sardi

Recurrent E. coli urinary tract infections pose a problem.  These infections can be treated successfully with antibiotics, but in this era of antibiotic resistance, recurrent urinary tract infections increase the risk for germ-resistant infections.

While cranberry juice has been shown to be somewhat effective, D-mannose, a poorly metabolized sugar that is available as a dietary supplement has now been shown to successfully treat urinary tract infections in a superior manner to a commonly-used antibiotic.  Dosage used as 2 grams (2000 milligrams) of D-mannose powder in water.  D-mannose is widely available as a dietary supplement.
