March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. 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.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. 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."

7/1/12

Amid a global crackdown against alleged black money in secret accounts of Swiss banks, their bankers are selling a new safe-haven idea to their rich clients from India and other countries -- the high-value 1,000 franc notes to be stored in safe deposit boxes.
 
These boxes -- kept inside the premises of Swiss banks -- are also said to be being used to stash gold, diamond, paintings and art works among other valuables -- apparently because of limited risk of catching the preying eyes of foreign governments having signed banking information exchange treaties with Switzerland.
 
According to industry sources, bankers are telling their rich clients that Switzerland's tax and information exchange treaties with India and other countries are mostly limited to funds in customers' savings, deposit and investment accounts, and do not apply to the safe deposit boxes.

This brings up something I thought about lately.  On those tv commercials for jewelry companies I've noticed that even with the biggest diamonds they may be advertising, they do not show any with gold.  When they flash a display of many, there are never any gold jewelry; it's always that platinum or white gold, but never the yellow stuff.  It's like they are trying to take it from our minds to even fathom buying any or that is somehow just doesn't exist anymore; they want to keep it all for themselves.

It's not quite so sinitser in reality. It's a design reason. And it's called white gold or platinum.

The point in that type jewelry is to focus the person's attention on the diamonds, not what holds them in place. So, they use white metals that reflect light like a mirror to enhance the sparkle of the diamonds. Yellow gold is a contrasting color to the white stones, so it takes away visually from all items in the design. You have the yellow gold trying to be the focal point as much as the sparkle of the diamonds. It's visual chaos really. It's a play on how we perceive colors. High-end jewelry is usually white metals.

It's still temporal and vain, whatever the design.

That makes sense, K.  It's just I've seen many of their commercials and there is a very stark difference in what they used to show and what they now show.  But, yes, I could just be suspicious.  Wink
