Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Computer program to reveal who wrote the Bible
Can determine when passage has been written by more than one person and when new author takes over
Scientists and scholars have written algorithm that analyses writing styles

By Ted Thornhill

 Precisely who wrote the Bible has been debated for centuries – but now scientists have devised a computer program that sheds much more light on the sources of the various religious texts within it.

Israeli computer scientists and Bible scholars have written an algorithm that analyses the writing styles found within various sections.

While it can’t pinpoint an individual author, the program has been able to determine when a passage has been written by more than one person and can detect the point at which a new author has taken over.
 Write stuff: The computer program searches for how common words are used throughout the scriptures
For instance, many believe that the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, was written by one person – Moses.


However, many experts insist there were multiple sources.

The computer program will be able to help with these kinds of debates by processing how functional words and synonyms are used within various passages, which can reveal whether different people were involved in producing the material.

The researchers, led by Professor Nachum Dershowitz of Tel Aviv University's Blavatnik School of Computer Science, tested their software by feeding it mixed up passages from two Hebrew books of Jeremiah and Ezekiel – and asking the computer to re-sort them.

It did so with 99 per cent accuracy, by looking at how various words were distributed.

Presented at the 49th Annual Conference of the Association for Computational Linguistics in Portland, the research was hailed as a way of side-stepping a traditional problem in Bible analysis – the fact that many scholars are inherently subjective about how they view its text.
