BH4U | Do Not Buy Bottled Water Never Ever Again! - Duration: 2:47.
Do Not Buy Bottled Water Never Ever Again!
We all buy bottled water without thinking twice – after all, it's just water, isn't
it?
However, it's not that simple – have you ever wondered what the plastic bottle the
water is packed in contains?
Plastic water bottles are home to many dangerous substances which can have serious consequences
on your health!
Millions of bottles of bottled water are consumed worldwide every day, which is a big concern.
Each bottle should have a list of the used ingredients, but this is rarely the case.
Have you ever looked at the bottom of a plastic bottle and noticed the symbols such as DPE
or PP?
Do you know what they mean?
Continue watching the video to learn what plastic bottles you should avoid buying.
PAT or PETE These initials indicate that the bottle is
fit for single use.
This plastic releases heavy metals and chemicals that can harm our hormones.
PVC or 3V This symbol indicates a flexible plastic that
is also used for packaging foods.
It releases 2 chemicals that may affect our hormones.
HDP or HDPE This is one of the best plastic bottles that
is considered generally safe for our health and the environment.
HDP Like the previous symbols, these bottles are
the safest on the market.
PP This symbol indicates that the plastic bottle
should be white or transparent.
It is usually used for yogurt and is light and resistant.
LDPE This type of plastic is used for plastic bags
and doesn't release chemicals in water.
PS PS is usually used on fast food containers.
These containers release dangerous and carcinogenic substances and should be avoided.
PC This symbol indicates common plastic that
is dangerous and corrosive due to the presence of chemicals.
Besides knowing what the symbols mean, it's also important not to reuse the bottles or
leave them exposed to the sun as they leak dangerous substances.

BREAKING Trump Just Got BLINDSIDED By Sudden Resignation That Leaves Everyone In Shock - Duration: 12:49.
BREAKING Trump Just Got BLINDSIDED By Sudden Resignation That Leaves Everyone In Shock
Over the past few weeks, Trump has been shaking things up in Washington D.C. The left has
been doing their best to undermine Trump and his policies every step of the way. With the
constant leaks from Obama loyalists and the recent WikiLeaks drop, liberals are scrambling.
Now, Trump was just hit with a sudden resignation and it could not have been better news.
The leader of the Environmental Protection Agency's environmental justice program has
resigned. Mustafa Ali resigned on Thursday after realizing that his sham of an agency
is potentially losing funding. There have been reports that Trump is looking at slashing
the EPA's $8 billion budget by $2 billion and also cut the agency's beefy staff by
20 percent.
Ali obviously saw the writing on the wall had this to say in his resignation.
"I never saw in the past a concerted effort to roll back the positive steps that many,
many people have worked on though all the previous administrations. … I can't be
a part of anything that would hurt those [disadvantaged] communities. I just couldn't sign off on
those types of things," said Ali, who has held his post since 1992.
"I hadn't seen any positive movement in relationship to vulnerable communities … I
hadn't seen yet any engagement with communities with environmental justice concerns," he
added.
You know this guy should have been fired immediately after the Flint, Michigan water crisis, but
was allowed to stay on. Thousands of residents were subjected to horrible living conditions
yet the Obama administration did nothing. Trump was serious about draining the swamp
and cutting funding to this absurd agency is another step in the right direction.
The EPA has been useless since the beginning. This agency has been used to strong arm the
American people in order to extort more money. All I can say is that is that I am happy to
see another Obama holdover is gone and this agency crumbling to the ground.
H/T [ Western Journalism ]Melania BRUTALLY Attacked While Heading Back To NYC — Look
Who Threw The First Punch!
Less than 24 hours after Melania Trump ended her day yesterday with record-high approval
ratings, she learned that not everyone seems to be in favor of our First Lady. Those on
the fringe who hate are the most violent, as was proven today when she was brutally
attacked while preparing to go back to Manhattan, and by the last person she ever would have
expected to turn on her with such aggression.
Despite massive criticism from liberals about what she wore and said at her Women's Day
luncheon Wednesday, the event was a huge success. The most incredible moment of the afternoon
was when Melania shared a personal sentiment of empowerment, having overcome communism
and successfully making it in America as an immigrant who did it the right way. This should
have silenced all of her liberal detractors but instead, it only seemed to infuriate them
more which led to an all-out verbal assault by someone she assumed was her advocate.
Melania has already made it known that her platform as a First Lady will be to end the
bullying epidemic in America. So, it came as a nasty surprise today when well-known
gay-bullying opponent, Dan Savage, unleashed a verbal tirade against her that began with,
"I f*ing hate Melania Trump" and only devolved from there.
"God knows there's enough hate in the world and I don't want to add to the sum
total, but forgive me, I have got to get this off my chest: I f—ing hate Melania Trump,"
Savage announced in his podcast, The Wrap reported. He then went on to say that even
liberals are too soft on her and view her with undeserved "sympathy" only for the
fact that she's "pretty."
Savage then alleged that Melania is a complete fake who is hated by her husband and uses
her looks to hide "an ugliness inside her," Independent Journal Review reported. "She's
an immigrant who doesn't give a s— about the plight of other immigrants," Savage
to savagely added.
His tirade only proves who the real poser is here and it's the one slinging the slanderous
punches at our First Lady who has done nothing to give him reason to make such inflammatory
claims. This is yet another case proving the paradox of the left that "acceptance"
only goes as far as to those who share the same opinions as you, otherwise the gloves
come off and it's open season on their victims.Loud Mouth Drunk Girl Assaults Police Horse, Gets
BRUTAL Instant Payback She Wasn't Expecting
An entitled drunk girl who thought she could run her mouth and attack anyone and anything
in the name of free speech met her match at a rally recently. She decided to make a police
horse part of her antics, before learning that they don't play by the same rules as
what's she's used. The unapologetic animal delivered a perfect dose of instant justice
that left her holding her teeth and looking like the fool she is.
It must be a college co-ed's rite of passage to act dangerously irrational to some degree
in a protest before you come out the other side as a (hopefully) responsible adult. One
young blonde girl was just getting into this type of behavior when she got knocked a painful
dose of reality, teaching her that if you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
According to the footage shared on YouTube, the ridiculous young woman at a street party
in Ontario, Canada was set up by her "friend" to slap the police horse on the behind. The
officer was still mounted on the animal as the co-conspirator filmed the incident from
a safe distance showing the girl running up to the large animal and slapping it, for which
the horse responded with the best animal instinct.
No sooner did her hand hit the horse's rear, that her face got hit with his hind leg, in
a swift kick that knocked her to the ground where she tasted the pavement. She manages
to pull herself up and tries to run away, holding her face, and covered in blood. While
her condition is unknown, it's clear it had to hurt considering what she looked like
in the aftermath of her stupid move.
It was a brutal lesson, but once she had coming. Millenials think they can do whatever they
want without recourse or claiming innocence because of what they've been engrained to
believe, but this animal doesn't play by those rules. For every action, there's a
reaction and this painful experience should hopefully serve as a good life lesson.
THIS ARTICLE WAS UPDATED ON MARCH, 10 2017. We previously reported that the woman in question
was a liberal protester, however, her political affiliation has been determined to be unknown.
She seemingly acted as a result of too much too drink but learned an important lesson
none the less.Former Miss USA Reveals Shocking Truth Bomb About What Trump Did To Her 10
Years Ago
President Trump is getting slammed for anything and everything that the liberals think will
make headlines lately. Even things that are completely unsubstantiated (raise your hand
if you're sick of hearing about Russians). One such incredible claim is that he is anti-women
and just generally a misogynist.
Part of what has cultivated this reputation was his involvement with the Miss USA pageant.
While it's understandable that the world needs to know there's more to life than
beauty, it's somewhat of a stretch to say that because someone supports a contest populated
with beautiful women, that it's the only thing he values in people. While some degrade
the process as outdated and anti-feministic, beauty pageants are structured in a way to
help contestants attain skills in performance, public speaking and help women carry themselves
with confidence to show their true nature.
One fantastic example of the premium that President Trump has put on inner strength
is in his dealings with Tara Connor, 2006's Miss USA. Connor was catapulted into the limelight
after her victory in 2006 and after the fast lane became too much for her, she fell into
a life of drugs and alcohol. Many were shaming Connor and calling for her crown to be revoked,
but President Trump believed in her. He understood that what she was going through was an illness
and if she agreed to go through treatment, arranged for her to keep her crown.
Connor, who is now 10 years clean and sober and is an advocate for addiction prevention
had this to say about the incident:
"I was 20 in 2006 when I was crowned Miss USA. Few people knew my name and my "Miss
USA story." Later that year, millions knew my name because of my real story, the story
I didn't want shared. I became famous as "Mess USA" when my boss — now the president
of the United States — tossed me into rehab after I tested positive for cocaine. Rather
than strip me of my crown or add to the negative press with a humiliation campaign, Donald
Trump surprised me, and shocked the world, when he held a news conference and declared:
"Tara is going to be given a second chance."
Connor believes that Trump's views on addiction and mental illness can be a springboard for
change in the way sufferers are treated. She believes that a lot of people voted for him
"because they feel as though he can make a change about the addiction crisis." The
frustration that many in our country have with the President comes in many forms; policy,
history, business or even family. However, the most powerful man in the nation is taking
the initiative to get treatment for 22 million Americans that struggle with addiction. And
that is something that all of us can be proud of.
(Source: America's Freedom Fighters)BAD News For 3 Anti-Trump Judges Who Allowed Obama
To Wiretap, After Trump Finds BIG Secret They Hid
Last weekend, Donald Trump made an explosive claim that during his campaign Trump Tower
was wiretapped – and that then-President Barack Obama was behind it.
Trump offered no evidence for the claims, but what he said may be some "truthful hyperbole"
(a term Trump himself coined).
As former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy summarized in National Review, Obama' Justice Department
considered a criminal investigation aimed at a number of Trump's associates – and
found nothing criminal.
After that fail, they converted the investigation into an intelligence probe under the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Elements of that story have been confirmed by The New
York Times, the BBC and McClatchy newspapers.
FISA surveillance has to be approved by a special court, which almost always allows
the government to spy on people when asked. To the Obama administration's surprise,
the Justice Department refused in this case. As McCarthy noted, this is notable because
"the FISA court is notoriously solicitous of government requests to conduct national
security surveillance."
The Obama administration wasn't ready to take no for an answer and came back during
the final weeks of the election with a narrower request that didn't specifically mention
Trump. That narrower request was granted by the court – though no articles confirming
it mention any wiretapping.
But who the heck was it who signed off on those FISA requests that were initially denied.
According to the Gateway Pundit – none other than Loretta Lynch.
According to ABC, all applications to the FISA Court were signed off on by the Attorney
General and therefore if any applications were processed in the past year, they were
signed off on by Loretta Lynch. This means that Lynch signed off on any requests for
wire tapping President Donald Trump during the Presidential race. This is disheartening
knowing that she released a video over the weekend calling for the need for more marching,
blood and death on the streets. This also means that she chose not to investigate the
Clinton Foundation for illegal activities but rather signed an application to wire tap
President Trump.
The Gateway Pundit also notes that "Five of the current eleven judges on the court
are scheduled to be on the court for President Trump's entire first term with six of the
judges' terms expiring before January 2021. Seven of the judges are scheduled into the
year 2020." And with that, we just found one more part
of the swamp that needs to be drained.

Goldberg Teases Post Wrestlemania Matches! Roman Reigns Heel Turn Update! | WrestleTalk News 2017 - Duration: 4:47.
Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News!
I'm Oli Davis, and I'll be replying to as many comments on this video as I can.
You might have noticed that Mauro Ranallo - who, in my opinion, is WWE's best announcer
(and he tweeted me back once!) - hasn't been part of Smackdown's 19-man commentary
booth recently.
His first absence was on the 14th March episode, which WWE explained was because of the fierce
snowstorm in the area.
But then he missed the following week's episode.
And then this week's go-home show too.
The real reason appears to be Ranallo's long-running battle with depression.
Mauro was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder aged 19.
And, as anybody who's had experience with the illness knows, it's not something you
cure - it's a condition you deal with your entire life.
There are good days and then, suddenly, there's a hole from which you can't get out.
Going by Ranallo's recent tweet, it appears he might be missing Wrestlemania too:
"Feeling love from everyone.
I am stronger.
I want to wish my @WWE family another AMAZING #WrestleMania #KeepUpTheGoodFight #MentalHealth"
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that Ranallo's absence coincides with "building"
tension between him and his Smackdown broadcast partner JBL.
Apparently, Mauro recently tweeting about winning the Wrestling Observer Announcer of
the Year award is a "political mistake" in the wrestling industry, as you should only
publicly acknowledge awards given by your promotion, and that JBL was "legitimately
very upset".
JBL then made a series of comments about Ranallo, mocking his commentary style on WWE's Bring
It To The Table special, and in a since deleted tweet about the first Smackdown show Mauro
missed: "I made the show, everyone made the show, everyone.
Maybe he shouldn't have bashed me if he wasn't going to show up."
Whatever the situation is, go over to Mauro Ranallo's Twitter page and tell him he's
the freaking best, and we're all behind him.
This week's go-home episode of Smackdown Live was up 2% from last week, drawing an
average of 2.698 million viewers.
That's way up from last year's pre-brand split, pre-taped go-home episode, which drew
2.328.
And your ratings thought it was just as good, with 74% of you agreeing with me at SmackTastic,
while 13% were slightly less impressed with Smack Bang in the Middle.
This Sunday will see Roman Reigns - The Guy who gets overwhelmingly negative reactions
on WWE TV - take on The Undertaker - one of the most popular characters in the company's
history.
Reigns has gotta turn heel, right?
Probably not, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
"As of late, [Reigns] is selling more merchandise than any full-timer, given Cena's status
as a part-timer.
And that's not going to be changing as Cena gets more and more outside offers...Right
now, with Cena leaving…[Reigns] is the most over guy based on merchandise sales."
This means it's unlikely WWE will turn Roman heel, as they haven't positioned anyone
else to bring in that sweet, sweet babyface merch money.
And according to Triple H, WWE don't have to turn him, because he's a heel already:
"Isn't he already the biggest heel we have?
If 70 percent of that crowd is booing him, then he's a heel.
We're just presenting him to you in a different way that makes you hate him."
That's not how it works!
Right now, Goldberg is arguably WWE's most accepted babyface, being booked tremendously
well despite his in-ring limitations.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has reported Goldberg's current WWE deal ends at Wrestlemania,
with Bill's final contracted date being his Universal Championship defence against
Brock Lesnar (which kind of spoils the result).
Goldberg joins the string of high-profile WWE wrestlers who will disappear shortly after
Wrestlemania - including Undertaker, John Cena and Chris Jericho.
Wrestlemania...Showcase of the Part-Timers.
But Bill has teased he might have a few more future matches in him with his Instagram post
thanking the fans and WWE for his latest run: "BTW , if you think I'm throwing in the
towel you know nothing about me.
Expect all hell to break loose at #wrestlemania no matter what I'm going out on my sword!
If I got 1 or 50 left I'm bringing the heat!!!! #bankonit"

made their shock return from injury on this week's Smackdown Live by clicking the videos

[X-Shield FAST PJ - Ultimate Tactical] Présentation | Review | Airsoft FR - EN subs - Duration: 6:14.
Hi everyone and welcome to this presentation of the X-Shield Fast PJ helmet from Ultimate Tactical
This one is available in 7 colors and camos variations: black, foliage green, olive drab, tan, kryptek desert and kryptek black
The helmet comes within a cardboard box with a unique sticker on the top including an illustration, helmet references and finish of the included model
Content is well protected in bubble wrap
To begin with, you will find in a first plastic bag, a set of rails and accessories for the helmet
In a second plastic bag, a set of pads of several sizes to put inside the helmet
And finally of course, the X-Shield Fast PJ helmet, here in my case, in foliage green variation
This last one is mainly composed of plastic and enjoys a very good finish regarding its price, visually and to the touch, not much to blame
It has an NVG-compatible mounting on the front
Each side of the helmet is equipped with a system of rails for accessories
At the front, there will also be 2 elastic fixation cords
On the top, 8 holes are available for ventilation and velcro surfaces are available and pre-installed to fix your different moral and ID patches
On each rail, a releasable buckle is available for attaching, for example, a facial protection or a mask
At the level of the helmet straps, they are adjustable in 4 places to refine the position in height and length, on each side
At the back, a clamping wheel, will adapt the head circumference to the morphology of your skull
The very simple chin, has a closing clip
Inside the helmet, black velcros zones are pre-installed to install the pads that will be adapted regarding your comfort and the helmet's maintenance to the morphology of your head
At the forehead and neck level, a soft coating is present for a more pleasant touch
The installation of the pads will be done easily and quickly, thanks to their velcro coating
Regarding standard accessories, their number is large and they are all made of plastic
You will start by finding fasteners to fix a mask for example
These ones will enable to attach and detach an accessory very quickly
There is also an interface for NVG support
Be carefull, it is very hard to remove it
And finally, there are 2 rails for accessories or flashlights to slide in the side rails
During the fitting, the helmet is quite comfortable and adapts well to my morphology
On the other hand, it will be necessary to adjust it more finely than me during this quick fitting to adapt perfectly to your own head
But in any case, it holds well in place and remains light and I have not noticed a comfort issue
In conclusion, I am very pleasantly surprised by this X-shield Fast PJ helmet from Ultimate Tactical
Its finish is very correct and the number of accessories supplied, even if they are made of plastic, is consistent compared to other brands where it is necessary to buy them separately
Regarding comfort, no worries, it remains as well as other brands that I could test
The only worry of finishing for me is about the straps and chin that is of average quality and in the level of the chin there is no lining for a better comfort
But this X-Shield Fast PJ helmet has, in any cases, an excellent value for money

Carrying Fire the Pikunii Way - Duration: 12:53.
Carrying fire the Pikunii way.
The Pikunii people, also called the Blackfeet, have lived in the northern Great Plains
of the United States for hundreds and hundreds of years.
In the time before railroads, before European-American settlement,
and before reservations, they were a migratory people.
Every year, they moved from one place to another so they could hunt the buffalo
and harvest other foods and medicines.
As the Pikunii travelled, they took fire with them.
How did they do that, and why?
Listen to the stories of Marvin Weatherwax, an elder of the Pikunii people.
He will explain about the Pikunii way to carry fire throughout the year,
as the people followed the buffalo.
Fire is, you know, very important to us.
It was very important to us in many areas.
One of the most important areas was conservation.
Pikunii people were very, very conscious of making sure that, when they left an area,
it was clean, and that it was going to come back just the way they found it.
So when they left camp, they would burn the area
so that the things they left there was all burned.
Everything was burned, all the grounds and all.
And what that did was, it left it to renew.
And it would grow back and renew.
The fire was very important in another aspect.
That was how they built their pharmacies.
After a fire, the first thing that comes up is the weeds.
Many of them are the medicines that we use for various ailments and the things that we need.
We will make a fire, deliberately burn an area where we know that certain plants are.
It will burn them down and then they'll grow back.
Why was it important to carry fire from one camp to the next?
When we talk about the longevity and the continuity of our people,
the fire played a very important part in that.
When we moved from one camp to the other, it was very important
that they took fire from the main fire.
They took some of that and brought it to the next camp, and started that fire with it.
In this sense, we had the same fire that went on and on and on.
In doing so, they had to have some way to transport it
because sometimes the camps were 20, 30, 40 miles apart.
And they had to have a way to transport that flame from that fire to the new fire.
It would be very easy to go and start a new fire, just to send someone to start a new fire.
But the meaning -- the importance of taking the fire from one camp to the other --
the continuity was very important.
It was very spiritual meaning.
The vessel that they used, it was very important, and that was a fire carrier.
This is a fire carrier here that is a completed one.
This is the outer covering -- which is mud, clay -- that goes on the outside.
Then the covering, which is made out of wood or stone, and that covers the top of it.
Sometimes they carried two or three of them, depending on how far they were going to travel.
And they'd begin with one of them that had fire in it.
And then if they got to the point where this was getting hot down here on the end,
they would know it's coming to the end of this.
And then they would change, stop, and take that and put that fire into another one.
And then they would start out again.
A slit on the sides and down on the bottom -- Not only ventilation to get air --
oxygen in there to keep it going, but the bottom one was
to let you know that it was time to change it.
The ingenuity that was used in building these is absolutely phenomenal.
We'll go through one here that's built.
This is the horn.
And down on the bottom of here we have moss, and it was usually kind of damp.
And that was pushed all the way down to the bottom.
And then they would put the wood on the top of it, going around a circle.
But they would have softwoods in the middle.
There's a flat stone here, where they would put the original piece of coal on there.
And they used the softwoods because the softwoods are easier to ignite.
So from the coal, the softwood would ignite.
And then outside of that was the hardwood, right on the outside.
And then after this burned, then the hardwood would burn.
And the thing that is good about the hardwoods is that the hardwood,
such as when they used the cottonwood or the aspen, it does not go out.
It'll burn until there is no more wood.
But the heat from the softwood is what would get the hardwood going,
because that was a little harder to get started burning.
But once that got going, it went on and on.
The moss was not only on the bottom.
It was also around the outer edge, and this was to keep it from flaming.
It would not flame; it would just stay a coal.
And then the top part was the cover, which is very important -- a very important part of it.
It was a stone.
And most of the time it was wrapped with something that would burn away,
like a piece of rawhide sometimes.
But it would be wet, soaked in water, so that when it was put down on there, it made a seal.
It covered it up, and then it was tied down.
The bottom inside of that normally would burn from the heat.
This would get very, very hot.
How long do you think fire would last in a fire carrier?
Really, it depended on how big the fire carrier was, because that would depend
on what the length of the hardwood would be, that you put in there.
Who carried fire for the people?
There were special people that were chosen.
And it was normally the long-distant runners, because they ran not only to find
out where the buffalo were, but they ran to get new camps, to where the camp was.
And they didn't walk.
They literally ran, you know, sometimes for 40, 50 miles nonstop.
The people that put it together were someone that had done it for a long time.
And he would teach someone else how to do it.
And just my sense, you know, I would think that the runners that carried it were the ones --
that the knowledge of knowing how to make it was passed on to them.
In my readings and in talking with people, most all the tribes had their own way
of continuing -- even the Indians in Alaska.
They used whale bones, and they did something similar to this,
and they transported their fires the same way, and for the same reasons.
So the continuity of the fire was important amongst all the Native people.
All of us are so conscious about carrying things on and making sure that things are continued.
The Pikunii travelled hundreds of miles each year carrying fire.
This was "the Cycle of the Buffalo."
Right around the Choteau area, that's where our main camps always were.
In the spring of the year, this is where buffalo were.
Here, and down toward towards -- right above Great Falls --
there was usually herd of female buffalo calving.
This area down here by Great Falls, there's a pishkun down there now.
They called it the Ulm Pishkun, and it was used primarily for the elders.
What they would do is some warriors would go down and they would take part
of a herd -- not a real large part of it.
And then they would run them off of that pishkun.
They did it in the spring of the year before the cows gave birth.
Previous to us being on the reservation, we travelled pretty much
through the whole half of the state.
And they came around over by Shelby along the Marias River there,
and they hunted the Sweetgrass Hills and brought that back to Shelby, and then they camped there
for a while, and then they continued on over into Canada by the Cypress Hills.
Normally when they hit the Cypress Hills, it was around July.
Then they'd come up from there toward Calgary.
They turned down along the mountains.
And then about this time of the year, they were probably right in this area along the mountains,
right in the mountains by Pincher Creek -- right above Pincher Creek.
And then they would move down into their winter camp area.
Do the Pikunii still carry fire?
What my grandfather told me about the fires --
he was told probably about the middle of the 1800s was when they say the last fires went out.
It was probably just previous to the buffalo being gone.
And the reason for that was that they moved their camps to follow the buffalo.
And then when the buffalo were gone, then it was not necessary for them
to move their camps anymore and follow the buffalo.
They could stay stationary.
And then they had to begin to depend on the wildlife that was there,
or the cattle that the government was going to provide them,
the rations that the government was going to provide them.
That's when they all had to start living on reservations,
so there was no more going -- so that's when the fire ended.
Sharing knowledge about the Pikunii way: One of my responsibilities in my life is to pass
on things that I have learned from my grandparents and from other elders.
Because I have finally become -- I believe I have become an elder.
And I can pass this on.
