Researchers created a tomato that contains Resveratrol - One tomato is equivalent to about 50 bottles of red wine

Given the opportunity to drink fifty bottles of wine or eat one tomato, which would you choose?

Scientists at the John Innes Centre have found a way to produce industrial quantities of useful natural compounds efficiently, by growing them in tomatoes.

The compounds are phenylpropanoids like Resveratrol, the compound found in wine which has been reported to extend lifespan in animal studies, and Genistein, the compound found in soybean which has been suggested to play a role in prevention of steroid-hormone related cancers, particularly breast cancer.

lol I have feelings for my best friend(at least she was in my eyes til she was mean to me). I deadass don't know how to cope and the healing process is taking longer than I had thought. (Wtf🙃)

Close-Grip Barbell Bench Press:

Lie back on a flat bench. Using a close grip (around shoulder width), lift the bar from the rack and hold it straight over you with your arms locked. This will be your starting position.

As you breathe in, come down slowly until you feel the bar on your middle chest. Tip:Make sure that - as opposed to a regular bench press - you keep the elbows close to the torso at all times in order to maximize triceps involvement.

After a second pause, bring the bar back to the starting position as you breathe out and push the bar using your triceps muscles. Lock your arms in the contracted position, hold for a second and then start coming down slowly again. Tip: It should take at least twice as long to go down than to come up.

Repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

When you are done, place the bar back in the rack.

Caution: If you are new at this exercise, it is advised that you use a spotter. If no spotter is available, then be conservative with the amount of weight used. Also, beware of letting the bar drift too far forward. You want the bar to fall on your middle chest and nowhere else.

Variations: This exercise can also be performed with an e-z bar using the inner handle as well as dumbbells, in which case the palms of the hands will be facing each other.

Say hello to our newest addition: The Dossier.

We at OFA are pleased to introduce a brand new expansion of our blog:

The Dossier, our open-source intelligence hub for the activist community.

It’s a kind of mini-wiki, if you will. An index of places all over the web that we think activists should be familiar with.

Here you’ll find over 200 sources of info on:

White supremacists and other Hate Groups,

Antifa,

Cyber Security Research,

Dank Web (our term for clearnet sites like 4chan. not darknet. but stll shady)

Dark Web and Deep Web,

Fake News / Propaganda,

Real News / Not-Propaganda,

Governance and Policy,

Gun Culture (especially in the US),

Human Rights,

Internet Freedom,

Information Security News,

Notable Hackers and Technologists,

Tech News,

Law Enforcement and Police,

Government Transparancy,

Military Affairs,

“Patriot” Militia Groups,

Private Intelligence Companies,

and a smattering of US Intelligence Agencies.

We hope we’ve given your bookmarks menu and twitter feed a boost. And maybe on one of those far-right hate sites you’ll find something you can use against them.

We make no claims to completeness. In fact, you can help us make it better. Message us and let us know what we missed.
