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."

Looks like Google is making sure they cover all the bases in the digital payment system. Now it looks like they are going to have a smart card for where the Google Wallet isn't accepted.

Google reportedly prepping 'credit card' of sorts
 

By Brad Chacos
Published November 04, 2012

The idea behind mobile payments currently holds more appeal than the reality does. Can Google change that?
 
Retailer support for mobile payments is hard to find outside major metropolitan areas, and even then, the gaggle of tap-to-pay options means your favorite NFC-friendly store may not accept your preferred mobile wallet technology. If a new leak proves true, Google may have worked its way around the hurdle, albeit in an NFC-free manner.
 
The company is reportedly working on a physical Google Wallet card that functions as an all-in-one card, letting you pay with whatever credit cards are tied to your Google Wallet account.
 
The solution would be inelegant, but according to the tipster who sent Android Police screenshots of the leaked app, the solution will work wherever those credit cards are accepted, regardless of whether or not the retailer supports Google Wallet’s tap-to-pay technology. Since Google’s mobile payment service now supports all major credit cards, you could theoretically leave the rest of your plastic at home and travel encumbered only by your Google Wallet card and your smartphone.
 
The credit account you set as the default in-app is used when you swipe the Google Wallet card at a store. Even better, the leaked screenshots claim that if you lose your Google Wallet card, you’ll only need to cancel and swap out that particular piece of plastic, and not all the other credit cards associated with it.
 
Other major improvements found in the leaked app include the ability to transfer money to and from a “Wallet Balance,” as well as the ability to transfer cash to another Google Wallet user. Transit card support also looks to be making an appearance.
 
Yep, Google’s pulling out the big guns now that Isis, a major new mobile payment competitor, has entered its live trial stage in Austin and Salt Lake City.
 
Isis is the child of a joint venture between T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon Wireless, which explains why Google’s Wallet technology is pretty much only found in phones offered by Sprint. Therein lies the further genius of a tangible Google Wallet card; as Android Police points out, Google could publish an NFC-free version of the Wallet app in the Play Store, giving people the opportunity to use Google’s credit service-switching card whether or not the tap-to-pay technology is hardwired into their phone. Bye-bye, carrier-backed advantage.
 
Are the benefits of a service-switching physical card great enough to entice everyday users to sign up for Google Wallet? We’ll see when (and if) the leaked Wallet app goes live.
