Indiana University is teaching students that they are inherently “oppressors” because of their race, sex and religion, documents show.
According to the school’s website, the course “Understanding Diversity in a Pluralistic Society” prompts students to examine “theories and models” in order to “enhance understanding of our diverse society.”
The course “provides content about differences and similarities in the experiences, needs, and beliefs of selected minority groups and their relation to the majority group.”
It added that the “groups include, but are not limited to, people of color, women, and gay, lesbian, and bisexual persons.”
The Free Beacon first reported that the class instructor, Colleen Rose, prompts students to compose an “in-depth reflection of two parts of [their] identity: one subordinate identity and one dominant identity.”
The Beacon obtained a chart that’s given to students to define certain groups.
The chart explains that “subordinate groups” are subject to “social oppression” by the “dominant groups.”
These groups include “LGBTQ” people, “women,” and religious and ethnic minorities.
“Heterosexual, White, Able-bodied People, Christian,” and “Men” are “dominant groups” guilty of “social oppression.”
A student told the Beacon that they had to “make something up” to complete an activity.
“I’m being punished through an assignment for my identity as a person,” the student told the Beacon.

The student went on to say, “It’s very rich that in a class where we are supposed to be talking about identity and not suppressing identity, I’m forced to suppress my own identity… I have to suppress myself because I’m presumed to be some privileged, horrible human being that didn’t grow up without food. That’s insane to me.”
The course, offered by IU’s School of Social Work, fulfills credit requirements for the college’s “social and historical studies.”
IU did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Other universities are offering courses that explore intersectionality and racial, gender, and sexual identity.
For example, Fox News Digital previously reported on Princeton University’s spring semester course catalog offering a Gender and Sexuality Studies (GSS) program.
The program consists of classes that address topics like “sex work” and “queer spaces.” The course incorporates topics like “erotic dance,” “pornography” and more, according to the university’s online course listing.

Taking “Movies” Of Light In Flight – Hackaday
This one isn’t clickbait, but it is cheating. [Brian Haidet], the guy behind Alpha Phoenix, has managed to assemble movie footage of a laser beam crossing his garage, using a rig he put together for just a few hundred dollars. How, you ask? Well, for the long version, you’re going to want to watch the video, also embedded below. But we’ll give you the short version here.
Light travels about a foot in a nanosecond. What have you got that measures signals on a nanosecond scale pretty reliably? Of course, it’s your oscilloscope. The rest of [Brian]’s setup includes a laser that can pull off nanosecond pulses, a sensor with a nanosecond-ish rise time, and optics that collect the light over a very small field of view.
He then scans the effective “pinhole” across his garage, emitting a laser pulse and recording the brightness over time on the oscilloscope for each position. Repeating this many thousands of times and putting them all together relative to the beginning of each laser pulse results in a composite movie with the brightness at each location resolved accurately enough to watch the light beam fly. Or to watch different time-slices of thousands of beams fly, but as long as they’re all the same, there’s no real difference.
Of course, this isn’t simple. The laser driver needs to push many amps to get a fast enough rise time, and the only sensor that’s fast enough to not smear the signal is a photomultiplier tube. But persistence pays off, and the results are pretty incredible for something that you could actually do in your garage.
Photomultiplier tubes are pretty damn cool, and can not only detect very short light events, but also very weak ones, down to a single photon. Indeed, they’re cool enough that if you get yourself a few hundred thousand of them and put them in a dark place, you’re on your way to a neutrino detector.

Powerball Winner: Did Anyone Win Wednesday's $124 Million Jackpot? – iHeartRadio
By Jason Hall
December 26, 2024
Saturday’s (December 28) Powerball jackpot will be worth an estimated $145 million after zero players matched all six numbers during the $124 million drawing Wednesday (December 25) night.
Results from Wednesday’s Powerball game are listed below:
NUMBERS: 15-26-27-30-35
POWERBALL: 3
POWER PLAY: 3x
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are reported to be 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball.com.
The Powerball jackpot previously reset after one player in New York won the $256 million drawing on December 7.
One player in Pennsylvania won the $214 million Powerball drawing on August 12, exactly one week prior to another player in California winning the $44 million drawing on August 19. The Powerball jackpot had previously reset after one player won the $139 million Powerball drawing on July 3.
One player in California matched all six numbers to win the $2.04 billion ($997.6 million) jackpot on November 7, 2022, the largest jackpot offered in U.S. lottery history, according to the official Powerball website. Powerball has had jackpots exceeding $1 billion five times.
Mega Millions games have also exceeded $1 billion six times, which includes its largest offering, a $1.603 billion jackpot that was one by a player in Florida on August 8. Both jackpots increase during each following game until there’s a jackpot winning ticket matching all six numbers drawn, which includes the additional Mega Millions Gold Ball or Powerball in each respective game.

Clubs Poker Promo Code: Get 20 SC Free & 100k Gold Coins – Deadspin
Loading …
Sign up to claim 2,500 Gold Coins and 0.5 Sweeps Coins daily. High-quality slot software. Variety of bonuses for free coins. T&Cs apply, 18+
I didn’t spot any Clubs Poker bonus codes to unlock their first purchase bonus offered to new players. I was able to make a purchase of $20 to claim my first bonus offer there.
This bonus gave me 100,000 Gold Coins plus 20 Sweeps Coins to use on the site. Clubs Poker is a social and sweepstakes casino, so you’ve got GCs ready for social play, along with SCs to use when attempting to win some to redeem for real prizes.
Standard online casinos are past masters at creating bonuses to attract the attention of new and existing members, along with those who are thinking about signing up. The same applies to social and sweepstakes casinos too, especially since some people may not be aware of how these sites differ from standard casinos. They often provide free Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins to get you started.
Clubs Poker has opted to do things slightly differently. Rather than offering a free signup package among its sweepstakes casino promos, it provides a first purchase offer. This means you can take the optional route of purchasing a package of 100,000 Gold Coins, which comes with 20 Sweeps Coins for free. I did not locate a Clubs Poker casino promo code for this, so all you are required to do is to follow the instructions on the site to secure this offer should you want to do so. It is optional, remember, as there are other ways to pick up some free Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins to use instead if you wish.

Before we go into some more detail here, I’d like to recommend the Clubs Poker Casino review here, as it gives you a complete overview of the site, its games, the Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins, and other pertinent details that will prove useful if you’re thinking about playing there.
Right – the good news is that the Clubs Poker website does have a page devoted to the optional bonus for newbies. This means you can read the details of how it works, along with confirming the lack of a Clubs Poker promo code in this case. The first thing to check – and arguably the most important – is whether you can claim the offer. You’ll need to read the sweepstakes rules to confirm this, as Clubs Poker is currently available to players in 44 US states. The remaining six, along with outlying islands and jurisdictions, cannot use the site.
Assuming you are able to play, you can consider the offer. I decided to go for it, making my purchase of $20 and receiving 100,000 Gold Coins along with the promised 20 Sweeps Coins as well. Since there is a daily login bonus provided every day for members, there is no requirement to make a purchase at any stage if you want to play at Clubs Poker. You’ll never be able to purchase Sweeps Coins, as they must be made available for free as per the sweepstakes rules the site must follow.
So, while it’s a promising welcome offer for those who wish to purchase some more GCs to play with, it’s an optional one. You’ve always got the sweepstakes login bonuses to grab on a daily basis if you want to avoid any purchases.
If you like what you see at Clubs Poker – particularly the opportunity to delve into some casino-style poker games for social entertainment – go through the following tips to make sure you understand what’s on offer.
When I was compiling this article, I confirmed the latest situation in this area. Currently, you can play at Clubs Poker provided you do not live in one of these US states:
Take note of any changes to the sweepstakes rules, as this can occur if the laws or regulations in a specific state change, as they’ve done on occasion in the past.
This Clubs Poker introductory offer differs from most others I’ve seen at similar social and sweepstakes casinos. In many cases, you’re able to sign up and pick up a few Gold Coins to use on the social casino-style games. You might also receive some free Sweeps Coins to save until you’ve got plenty for the sweepstakes games.
Clubs Poker takes a different route by offering a limited-time welcome deal for newbies who want to make a purchase. If you claim the offer, you’ll need to make a purchase of $20 or more, qualifying you to receive 100,000 Gold Coins plus 20 Sweeps Coins.
When researching this article, I noted the offer did not come with a promo code attached. I go back regularly to see whether there have been any changes to these offers, and if I spot something, I’ll refresh the details here. I would still suggest reading the small print and noting whether they might have snuck a code into those in the meantime, though. It’s a great habit to generate.
I realized that if I selected the ‘play now’ command on their homepage, I could load the site to see some of the poker-style games and other titles available to me if I decided to sign up. The poker section includes Sit ‘n’ Go and Spin ‘n’ Go games, along with ring games, not to mention some tournaments to look at. It’s a good way to get a sense of how it all works, especially as Clubs Poker stands out as a key provider of poker-style social and sweepstakes games.
No, they’re not small blinds for windows – rather, they’re amounts you put in before a game begins. Clubs Poker offers micro and low blinds, so you can see how many Gold Coins you’ll play before the game starts. If you’re playing using Sweeps Coins, you’ll be able to see the required blinds for those coins instead. That’s one reason why it’s good to look for free SC coins promo codes whenever you can – the more you can get, the better.
The more you know about Clubs Poker and its promotions, the easier it will be to decide which ones you want to claim. I’ve compiled some common questions here, along with giving you the answers that ought to help.
No – this isn’t a regular casino because it adopts the social and sweepstakes model instead. This means there are no deposits involved, nor are there any withdrawals to make. You can play socially using Gold Coins. If you use Sweeps Coins, you can attempt to win more. If you manage that, you can redeem SC winnings to get a real cash prize.
There could be, and this is crucial to note. Just because there’s no code for the optional purchase bonus for new players, there could still be codes available for future offers, so keep an eye on their promo section to learn more.
There is a login bonus available each day, and if you miss one, you cannot go back and claim it. They won’t accumulate over time, so you need to remember somehow, so you don’t miss any. I set a phone alarm to catch mine. It’s a rudimentary way of doing it, but easier than trusting my overworked brain.
Sweeps Coins are not available to purchase. You will find several ways to collect them, including via the daily login bonus. They also crop up via some Gold Coin purchase packages. You can check this before making any purchase, but remember there’s no requirement to purchase anything.
Unfortunately, no – the rules currently state that Michigan is one of six US states where residents are not welcome to use Clubs Poker in any form. You must confirm your identity and place of residence when signing up to the site. If you manage to purchase some Gold Coins from a prohibited state, you likely won’t be refunded, so take care and make sure you live in an approved state before you claim any bonus offer.
Some sites have loyalty programs, others have VIP programs for specific members… but unfortunately, despite some time spent exploring the furthest reaches of the Clubs Poker website, I could find neither. This could be something they will add in future, and if that does happen, I’ll adjust this section to let you know more. There is one main reward for being loyal to the site and visiting whenever you can though, and that is the daily login bonus.
The idea here is that you need to remember to sign in each day. I managed this fine to start with, although I will admit to missing a day or two occasionally. However, it is worth setting up a reminder to log in, as each time you do so in a 24-hour period, you will receive more Gold Coins to play with. You’ll get part of a Sweeps Coin too – 0.5 SC at the time of writing – so this is a great way to begin building your stash of SCs to play with later. I noted there were no Clubs Poker bonus codes required to access these either. You can see that logging in each day, even if you don’t end up playing there, does give you a nice reward.
Social and sweepstakes casinos must abide by the ‘no purchase necessary’ rule, and Clubs Poker does do this via its daily login bonus and other promotions. However, the introductory bonus works a little differently if you wish to make a purchase. You get a one-time opportunity to make a purchase of $20 or more to receive 100,000 Gold Coins plus 20 Sweeps Coins.
I noted that while many social and sweepstakes casinos offer a free welcome bonus, this isn’t the case at Clubs Poker. Instead, there is a first purchase bonus that requires a minimum purchase of $20 to qualify for the deal. This will release 100,000 Gold Coins along with 20 Sweeps Coins as part of a 100% purchase bonus offer. This is optional, so if you decide not to purchase, you can collect your first daily login bonus to collect some free coins to play with instead.
If you know a little about social and sweepstakes casinos, you’ll realize that withdrawals are not available. Neither are deposits, as these sites do not work in this manner. However, you do have an opportunity to play using Sweeps Coins. If you win more Sweeps Coins while playing some of the poker-style games at Clubs Poker, you can redeem those SCs for a real prize. I found a complete set of downloadable (or viewable) sweepstakes rules at the foot of their site, so it’s easy to learn more about these before you sign up or play.
I found there was no need for a promo code for Clubs Poker, so you can save time searching for one of those. It’s also crucial to understand that there is no Clubs Poker no deposit bonus available, since social and sweepstakes casinos do not work with deposits or withdrawals as we’d normally understand them. There’s no free welcome bonus here either, only the offer laid out here should you wish to purchase some Gold Coins to start with. The Sweeps Coins are available as a free bonus on top, since they’re never available to purchase.
The lack of a Clubs Poker promo code kept things simple. While there is no chance of a signup bonus consisting of Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins with no purchase required, I was quickly able to claim my first daily login bonus to get some free coins. The purchase offer of 100,000 Gold Coins along with 20 Sweeps Coins for free is a solid deal I think might appeal to anyone wanting to boost their coins balance at this early stage.
The introductory purchase offer I discovered for Clubs Poker didn’t ask players to use a bonus code. However, I know that other sites have surprised me by releasing bonus codes for other offers beyond the one I’ve reviewed. So, I would suggest still keeping track of what’s available at Clubs Poker, especially if you’d like to look for more offers to pick up whenever you can. Clubs Poker free bonus codes can make a big difference in how many Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins you can get into your account when you’re all set to play some poker-style games on their website.
No – Clubs Poker operates as a social and sweepstakes casino focusing on poker games, although it does offer other games as well. The lack of deposits and withdrawals means that you cannot find a no deposit bonus there, since they do not exist with this model.
Yes, if you remember to log into your account there each day, you can pick up that day’s bonus to use when playing some of their social poker games.
They’ve got more than 20 poker games, but there are also several dozen casino-style slots and other games to try.
It is currently available in 44 out of 50 US states. For the latest participation rules, it is best to read through the terms of use prior to attempting to create an account there.
You can check the promotions on offer on their official website, along with searching online to see whether they have advertised anything else worth considering.
