ALRIGHT AMERICANS TODAY WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A THING.

How to make sure our pal Bernie Sanders wins the primaries so he can be our president: 

1. First of all, what are primaries? 

Well friends, it’s a preliminary election that decides the presidential candidates for each political party. If Bernie loses the primaries, he will NOT be able to become our next president. So for that reason it’s INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT that we all get our butts to those polls when the time comes. Here are the known or expected dates for the 2016 Democratic Party Primaries:

February

Monday, February 1: Iowa

Tuesday, February 9: New Hampshire

Saturday, February 20: Nevada

Saturday, February 27: South Carolina

March

Tuesday, March 1: Alabama; Arkansas; Colorado; Georgia; Massachusetts; Minnesota; North Carolina; Oklahoma; Tennessee; Texas; Vermont; Virginia

Saturday, March 5: Louisiana; Nebraska; Kansas

Tuesday, March 8: Mississippi; Michigan

3. Okay, so how do I register to vote/as a Democrat?

Worried because your state has closed primaries or you’ve never used your constitutional rights to vote before and you think registering will be a terrible, vigorous, process?

DON’T WORRY FRIENDS.

Registering to vote is so easy, let me walk you through it.

Here is an online form you can mail in (available in multiple languages) that also gives you step by step instructions depending on your state. If you live in New Hampshire, North Dakota, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, unfortunately you can NOT use this method.

For any state, you can check the following places to register in person:

State or local voter registration and/or election offices

The department of motor vehicles

Public assistance agencies

Armed services recruitment centers

State-funded programs that serve people with disabilities

Any public facility that a state has designated as a voter registration agency

Here is another link of states where you can register online, if you’re an anxious nugget like me.

EACH STATE HAS A SPECIFIC DEADLINE TO REGISTER IN TIME FOR PRIMARIES. IF YOU NEED TO REGISTER, MAKE SURE YOU FIND OUT WHEN THAT IS AND REGISTER BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

If you do end up having to register in person, do not be afraid friends! You are doing a very important and brave thing.

4. Alright, so I know when I have to vote, I am registered to vote, and if my state has closed primaries, I registered as a Democrat! I’m done now, right?

Nope, there’s one last thing! If you’re like me and unable to get to a voting poll, whether or not it’s due to school, work, your health, or being out of your state/country, you need to fill out an ABSENTEE BALLOT FORM!

This link contains not only the absentee ballot forms of every state, but some even have more voter registration forms as well!

DON’T FORGET. DEADLINES EXIST.

Write it in your planner, your calendar. Post it on your ceiling. Write it in ketchup on your burger. Tattoo it to your arm. Whatever helps!

AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, WHATEVER YOU DO:

Do not brush this off. Do not assume, well I’m just one person, what is one vote going to do? Bernie can win without little old me.

That’s wrong. You and your vote is so incredibly important. Bernie cannot win without you. Without us.

So please. Read this. Spread this. Register. Get ready to vote. Bernie promises to do his best to better America. Let’s do our best to get him there.

Police Officer Punches and Chokes handcuffed person

In a shocking video uploaded to Twitter on Saturday evening, a handcuffed black man is seen being viciously assaulted by a Prince George’s County officer in Hyattsville, Maryland.

The video was tweeted in two parts by the person , who asked to be identified as Prince(his first name).

As the car rolls he starts recording a police officer beating a handcuffed man. Woman , who was in the car with Prince noticed that a handcuffed man was bleeding. A man is  flipped over on his back and officer continues punching him in the face.

“Oh my god, he can’t breathe! You can hear wheezing,” the woman in the car states in a shocked tone, as she rolls down the window.

“He was definitely shaking but I think it was because he couldn’t breathe and was in obvious pain.”

“I’ve never really seen anything like this first hand. But I guess I’ve seen so much of this stuff online that my first instinct was to record it.”

Thanks to Prince this handcuffed man has  a video proof of what really happened during the arrest . There is no information about the incident, but Police department refused to answer any questions.Anyway, is that a right way to arrest an unarmed person?Punching him in the face till he bleeds.. Police definitely needs time to think what to say to the public to look as good fellas.

Is this what you guys think it means when GMO comes up in conversation?

Do you know what else is a GMO?

Dogs. Literally ALL dogs have had their genetics modified to make them more docile, loyal, trusting, energetic, obedient ect.

Ears of corn used to be the size of your thumb. Through selective ‘breeding’ we chose the strains of corn that were the biggest, fastest growing, most resilient ect. Ect.

THAT is a GMO. I don’t know where the idea that genetic modification meant they’re injecting your food stuffs with chemicals to change its DNA. That’s not how it works.

However, they ARE spraying your veggies with pesticides and that is something you should be worried about.

This is Normal Borlaug. In 1942 he received his Ph. D in plant pathology and genetics. In Mexico, he developed semi-dwarf, high-yield, disease resistant varieties of wheat. A genetically modified food. He introduced these to Mexico, Pakistan and India, resulting in double the wheat yields in a 5 year span. In 1970, Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, for saving one billion lives from starvation, and contributing to world peace through increasing the world food supply.

Why? 

As a chemist, I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: 

Here are just a few ideas to help people with depression:

See your doctor. I cannot stress this enough. If you think that you might be depressed, please see a doctor or a counselor to talk about it. If you are depressed then they can give you med sor arrange for therapy to help yu. You don’t have to go through this alone and unaided.

School and Class Tips:

Look into the services that your school/university provides. Some will offer counselling services, and some can extend deadlines because of your circumstances. Don’t feel bad about using these services; they’re there to help you.

Go to your classes. It might seem hard but you’ll be grateful when it comes to exams and you don’t have lectures to catch up on.

Work in school. School is designed to be a productive environment, with all of the resources that you need. After several years, your brain might have learned that work happens in school so you might be more productive there than at home.

Have a good study playlist. There are some songs that are just really motivating, and those will be great for when you’re feeling down but know that you have to work. There are loads of great playlists available on Spotify and 8tracks if you don’t want to make your own.

When looking for accommodation at university, there may be an option to choose a quiet room. If not, check out the residencies; there will usually be some naturally quieter places.

If you feel comfortable, talk to your tutor about how you’re feeling. If they know what you’re going through then they can offer extra support and direct you to the relevant services.

Looking After Yourself:

Keep your room tidy. It can be difficult to stay motivated if you can’t find anything or feel like you don’t have anywhere to work. Some people can even find the regular cleaning calming.

Make friends. They can be on your course or living with you. They can support you on bad days, and they can help you not cut yourself off. It’s important to have fun.

Reach out. If you’re having a bad day don’t be afraid to talk to someoneone. If you don/’t want to talk to someone in person, there are services online. Here’s an anonymous chat room by 7cupsoftea. You can also try using BlahTherapy.

Avoid binge drinking. It can stop the effects on antidepressants for a few days which isn’t good. Here are some tips about cutting down your alcohol intake.

Eat and stay hydrated. There’s not much more to say here.

Stay organised. Get a planner, and use it. Track deadlines, tasks, and homework. There are lots of different types of planner, from chronodexes to bullet journals, to standard store bought ones. Choose a planner that suits you.

Be active. You’re probably sick of hearing all about how exercise releases neurotransmitters that will make you happy, but it does. Plus, it can help clear your mind and focus you. And, you know, it has long term benefits on your general health. If you haven’t exercised for a while, start with just a walk everyday.

Have a sleep schedule. Stick to it. Try to go to bed at the same time, and wake up at the same time. There’s a timer here that can help calculate both of these for you based on sleep patterns. Don’t feel bad if you need more or less sleep than others.

Try to relax. Things like yoga, exercise, reading, listening to music, and others have all been shown to relax you.  This website lets you travel along a 3D line you move the line with your cursor). You can make your own galaxies here.I also have an anxiety tag full of tips and ways to relax.

Take a day off every now and then. Look after yourself and do the things you like, whether that ‘s a face mask, going for a walk, or just watching some TV.

writing adult emails is awful

its like

hi [name of person], 

this formatting is making me uncomfortable but I have to tell you something / ask you something that is vital to my career as a student. 

I re-read and edited that sentence for an hour, but you’ll probably just glance over it for half a second.

thanks! 

Dear Person I am Writing To:

This is an optional sentence introducing who I am and work for, included if the addressee has never corresponded with me before. The second optional sentence reminds the person where we met, if relevant. This sentence states the purpose of the email.

This optional paragraph describes in more detail what’s needed. This sentence discusses relevant information like how soon an answer is needed, what kind of an answer is needed, and any information that the other person might find useful. If there’s a lot of information, it’s a good idea to separate this paragraph into two or three paragraphs to avoid having a Wall of Text.

If a description paragraph was used, close with a restatement of the initial request, in case the addressee ignored the opening paragraph.

This sentence is just a platitude (usually thanking them for their time) because people think I’m standoffish, unreasonably demanding, or cold if it’s not included.

Closing salutation,

Signature.

!!!!!! IT HAPPENED AGAIN !!!!!!

Another Day At The Pool Turns Violent For A Black Family After Police Are Called

Krystal Dixon dropped off her kids and nieces and nephews at the Fairfield, Ohio, pool just as she’d done many times before. Not a half-hour later, the family was being rushed to the hospital after a violent altercation with local police.

The incident started so small. When one child didn’t have swimming trunks, staff demanded the family leave. Even though Dixon, pregnant and 33, said she had a swimsuit for the child, workers at the Fairfield Aquatic Center—about 25 miles north of Cincinnati—said it was too late. The mom decided to get the other kids and go. That’s when, according to Dixon, a park ranger followed her. When the teens came over to see what’s going on, the ranger took out handcuffs.

The ranger said they’d be arrested if they didn’t leave. He asks for Dixon’s ID, which she doesn’t have on her, then grabs her arm. The children ask the officer to let Dixon go, and the scene escalates.

That’s when a 911 call turns what was a minor breach of pool rules into chaos: A white officer using pepper spray on black teenage girls, and one 12-year-old—Dixon’s niece—being slammed against a cop car. Her family says she has a fractured jaw and broken ribs.

“Everything’s going crazy and they’re videotaping, trying to make it look like a racist thing and it’s not at all,” the caller said. “They were breaking our policy and we told them they couldn’t be here anymore and it’s really scary and I don’t feel safe.”

Although the cops said they’re just doing their jobs, the video being spread shows differently.

Two adults were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. A 12-year-old girl was charged with assault and resisting arrest, while a 15-year-old was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

I’ve said this to my non-techie friends countless times. It’s no secret that being able to code makes you a better job applicant, and a better entrepreneur. Hell, one techie taught a homeless man to code and now that man is making his first mobile application.

Learning to code elevates your professional life, and makes you more knowledgeable about the massive changes taking place in the technology sector that are poised to have an immense influence on human life.

(note: yes I realize that 3/5 of those links were Google projects)

But most folks are intimidated by coding. And it does seem intimidating at first. But peel away the obscurity and the difficulty, and you start to learn that coding, at least at its basic level, is a very manageable, learnable skill.

There are a lot of resources out there to teach you. I’ve found a couple to be particularly successful. Here’s my list of resources for learning to code, sorted by difficulty:

Novice

Never written a line of code before? No worries. Just visit one of these fine resources and follow their high-level tutorials. You won’t get into the nitty-gritty, but don’t worry about it for now:

Dash - by General Assembly

CodeAcademy

w3 Tutorials (start at HTML on the left sidebar and work your way down)

Intermediate

Now that you’ve gone through a handful of basic tutorials, it’s time to learn the fundamentals of actual, real-life coding problems. I’ve found these resources to be solid:

Khan Academy

CodeAcademy - Ruby, Python, PHP

Difficult

If you’re here, you’re capable of building things. You know the primitives. You know the logic control statements. You’re ready to start making real stuff take shape. Here are some different types of resources to turn you from someone who knows how to code, into a full-fledged programmer.

Programming problems

Sometimes, the challenges in programming aren’t how to make a language do a task, but just how to do the task in general. Like how to find an item in a very large, sorted list, without checking each element. Here are some resources for those types of problems

Talentbuddy

TopCoder

Web Applications

If you learned Python, Django is an amazing platform for creating quick-and-easy web applications. I’d highly suggest the tutorial - it’s one of the best I’ve ever used, and you have a web app up and running in less than an hour.

Django Tutorial

I’ve never used Rails, but it’s a very popular and powerful framework for creating web applications using Ruby. I’d suggest going through their guide to start getting down-and-dirty with Rails development.

Rails Guide

If you know PHP, there’s an ocean of good stuff out there for you to learn how to make a full-fledged web application. Frameworks do a lot of work for you, and provide quick and easy guides to get up and running. I’d suggest the following:

Cake PHP Book

Symfony 2 - Get Started

Yii PHP - The Comprehensive Guide

Conclusion

If there’s one point I wanted to get across, it’s that it is easier than ever to learn to code. There are resources on every corner of the internet for potential programmers, and the benefits of learning even just the basics are monumental.

If you know of any additional, great resources that aren’t listed here, please feel free to tweet them to me @boomeyer.

14-Yr Old Carrying a Puppy Choked by Police for Giving Officer Funny Looks

The family of a South Florida teenager is accusing Miami-Dade Police officers of crossing the line…

YOUNG UNARMED BLACK MAN SHOT AND PARALYZED IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD BY FAKE COP FOR TALKING TO WHITE GIRL IN HIS CAR

On February 4, sitting in his own car in his own neighborhood, talking to a female passenger, Monroe Bird was shot in the neck by a security guard, Ricky Stone, a 52-year-old white man. The bullet pierced the C3 vertebrae in his neck. Standing 6 feet, 8 inches, Bird, a gifted athlete, is now unable to move his arms or legs and relies on a ventilator to breathe. 

Heres what you need to know:

The security guard who shot Bird possessed marijuana at the time of the shooting. He told the Tulsa police that he hadn’t smoked it in a few weeks, and they didn’t even give him a citation. This is the definition of white privilege. Mind you, Tulsa was quick to test Eric Harris for drugs after they killed him and then released the results widely—even though he never acted violently toward officers.

The security guard went to the tired, age-old excuse and claimed that he saw Bird reach into his glove compartment. According to the police report, no weapons were found in or near the car, and no items that even seemed to belong in the glove compartment were found out or about in the car.

The security guard claimed he thought Monroe and his female passenger were having sex in the car and that he only approached them because of this. She’s white. Bird is black. Both denied doing anything of the sort. 

The security guard has claimed that Bird, who has no criminal record, attempted to run him over and basically kill him there on the spot.   Both the female passenger and Bird denied the guard’s account and stated that they were driving away when Stone began recklessly firing his gun into the car.

The security guard who shot Bird worked for Benjy D. Smith, who owns Smith & Son Security Company. This important to know because Smith is a reserve deputy for the same Tulsa Sheriff’s Office that is currently under national scrutiny for its unethical practices with Reserve Deputy Bob Bates, who shot and killed Eric Harris earlier this year.

The insurance company is denying him coverage because they claim “it was his own fault that he got shot.”

PLEASE HELP HIM!! 

you can either Donate (doesnt have to be alot it can be as small as $5) or Call the healthcare group and demand they give coverage with the number listed above.
