 IDF developed chemical said to be very effective in discouraging protests. A weapon developed by the Israelis to discourage protesting Palestinians will soon be used on protesters in the United States. The chemical is called Skunk and it is described as a type of “malodorant” and a cross between “dead animal and human excrement.” The smell lasts for weeks. Israel developed the weapon after criticism of its use of rubber-coated steel bullets. The chemical is more effective than tear gas at dissuading protesters, according to news reports. A variant of Skunk is now being provided to police departments around the country by Mistral, a company in Bethesda, Maryland. The chemical has reportedly been sent to the Ferguson Police Department. According to a write-up on the chemical on the Wikipedia website, Skunk “is an organic and non-toxic blend of baking powder, yeast, and other ingredients” that is “dispersed as a form of yellow mist, fired from a water cannon, which leaves a powerful odor similar to rot or sewage on whatever it touches.” A BBC reporter described the chemical as follows: “Imagine the worst, most foul thing you have ever smelled. An overpowering mix of rotting meat, old socks that haven’t been washed for weeks – topped off with the pungent waft of an open sewer. . .Imagine being covered in the stuff as it is liberally sprayed from a water cannon. Then imagine not being able to get rid of the stench for at least three days, no matter how often you try to scrub yourself clean.” The use of a chemical in the United States used to disperse Palestinians in the West Bank reveals the desperation of the establishment as they attempt to put down demonstrations against police violence. After police departments adopt the chemical, it will undoubtedly be the preferred weapon deployed against protesters exercising their constitutional right to protest the government.

 Do you like to exercise heavily? Do you like to work out? Do you want to look good on the beach? Do you want to burn some more calories? Do you want to sculpt your body? If yes, then you should understand that your workout plan will work only in combination with a proper diet and persistence, Pravda.Ru reports. Protein is a natural food supplement that our body requires daily, and it is more valuable if it contains a more balanced amino acid composition in it. Proteins are involved in maintaining the body structure, as well as in the process of division, growth, reproduction and recovery of body cells and muscle synthesis. Our hair and nails are made of protein, which is called keratin. It includes sulfur and the more curled a person’s hair, the more sulfur it has. Protein-rich foods can prevent hair loss. Before you hair falls out and can be replaced by new ones, it must have been growing for 2 or 3 years, and in its growth phase, protein plays a key role. Therefore, protein deficiency can cause thinner hair. Eat protein-rich foods and your hair will look and grow better. Proteins provide us with 10 to 35% of energy. Each gram of protein is 4 calories. Vegetable protein lacks some amino acids, but it is accompanied by low fat and cholesterol, and has a lot of fiber. Quinoa, a very popular pseudo grain crops culture, contains all the nine essential amino acids, making it an excellent source of complete protein complex. Protein must always be a part of our diet because the human body is not able to stockpile it. As all proteins have short life spans inside our body, it constantly need to be replaced. Source      |

 The Florida House passed a bill to study and regulate fracking, as well as prevent local governments from banning the oil and gas drilling practice Monday. The Florida State Senate opted to avoid a vote on a bill that would require oil and gas companies to publish for public use the chemicals used in hydraulic drilling, also known as fracking. The bill, passed by the Florida House of Representatives earlier in the week, was subject for Senate vote on Wednesday. The Regulation of Oil and Gas Resources Bill, or HB 1205, was ‘retained on calendar,’ according the Florida Senate website. The bill would prohibit issuing new permits until a study on the ecological impact of fracking is conducted, and allocate $1 million for these studies. Fracking is an ecologically-controversial method of high-pressure injection of water, sand and toxic chemicals into the ground to extract oil and natural gas from shale formations. Environmentalists say that the chemicals used in fracking contaminate groundwater and the pressure used in the process causes earthquakes. Fracking advocates, focused on issues like economies of scale and energy independence, claim that the process has no noticeable impact on the environment. The state of New York banned all fracking late in 2014. Last week, the “strongest” anti-fracking bill to date was introduced to the US Congress in a bid to ban fracking on all public lands.
