      That Chaucer & Shakespeare were into the whole 6-7 thing.

      "A similar phrase, "to set the world on six and seven", is used by Geoffrey Chaucer in his Troilus and Criseyde. It dates from the mid-1380s and seems from its context to mean "to hazard the world" or "to risk one's life".[2] William Shakespeare uses a similar phrase in Richard II (around 1595), "But time will not permit: all is uneven, And every thing is left at six and seven"."

                    Our job creates the source our income value, likewise countries are depend on a resources that generate the source of income for the growth of the nation. As a leader, leading the economy of the nation, the focus should be how to generate the source of income to growth nation economy that will gives value to every common citizen of the nation. A servant leader should be able to know the added value resource to move the country ahead.

                    God who created every human being both in different colors and race knows what work best for us.

                    Our greedy heart makes us neglect the value we have as human created in God’s image and likeness matters.

                          The term was applied not by them but by those who followed and recognized their accomplishments. They were the generation that put careers, politics, and eventually even prejudices aside to overcome a common foe.

                          Read the letter below that Gen. Eisenhower sent out to be read just before the troops departed for the D-Day invasion. Pay close attention to the last two paragraphs. Those are the words of a true leader, no politically correct crap here. Today is a day of reflection, a day of remembrance, a day we can honor the men and women who took part in the events of D-Day. Can you imagine the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs saying or writing that last paragraph in 2026? Sadly, we are a nation that has

                          forgotten our heritage

                          and is paying the price.

                          Learning is part of every process to growth in any given opportunity been given or available to us. The better understanding about leadership role of opportunity is that we can’t do way with learning process either from the people ahead of us to lead or in a classroom phase of life.

                          We cannot afford the vocational training of been a leader as in the idea to life, every given leader that’s born to lead has better opportunity of showcase more ability than a trained leader. That’s while we can’t afford the vocational training of been a leader either by standing on a mentorship role of becoming a leader. Countries are crying out today for a good governance because of the role of their past leadership which is not aspect from their citizens. The good knowledge of a leader who is born to lead is by acquiring the knowledge of mentorship

                          This days, some countries prepared to be governed by Military government than democracy government. While is do, is that some leaders abused the role of democracy that’s established to protect the right of people but their rather abuse and over power the right of the people who voted for them. This makes them regret democracy than rather to choose the military government. To them they can see better understanding with the military government than democracy.

                          We all long to have the right to self-will and not to abused our will power in the name of democracy. This day democracy is like a nightmare to some countries.

                          Countries leaders sometime takes liberty for freedom denied their own citizen the ability to create opportunity to dream and hope for the batter day to grow as a citizen. They makes the law and they don’t live by the law of their own countries to the extend that they force their own citizens to live under the law they don’t obey or followed.

                          Then limitation to liberty set in and some countries choose to live under Military leader and while some countries as well choose to live under respected democracy that makes people live and respect their law because their own countries leaders lead by good example as a leader born to leader and not a trained leader.

                          Liberty is what created dream to freedom without fears of associating and willing to try and not afraid of mistakes because their is a law guiding everybody under the spheres of influence.

                                How Did Stonehenge’s Altar Stone Arrive at Salisbury Plain?

                                PERTH, AUSTRALIA—According to a statement released by Curtin University, the central Altar Stone at Stonehenge was likely transported more than 430 miles from northeastern Scotland to the Salisbury Plain in carefully planned stages. It had been suggested that the more than 13,000 pounds of sandstone could have been moved by glacial activity.

                                      Bytemology of Retronym, OCTADE. Yinzer phonics. Butterfly Perfume.

                                      OCTADE or OCTAD is a retro word that means either an octal digit of three bits, or an octal octet or an eight-bit byte. Thus an octade, depending on its historical use, is either 3 bits or 8 bits.

                                      OCTADE was used to specify eight bits, as opposed to BYTE which is not necessarily eight bits as the word BYTE could signify any of several numbers of bits.

                                      This yields the retro 1337 numbers of 38 and 83. The number 38 is one more than 37 so a bit more elite a bit cooler. Thus it owns cardinally shorter byterz.

                                      83 mod 38 equals 7, the highest octal digit. 838 mod 383 equals 72 or 9 times 8 which is 8 squared plus 8.

                                      8338 mod 3883 equals 572 which is 72 times 8 minus 4 or 71.5 times 8.

                                      8383 mod 3838 equals 707 which is 88 times 8 plus 3.

                                      I prefer the old word OCTADE to the word BYTE. OCTADE sports a Euro-peon dignity and gravitas like an Internet serf ready to surf the worknet like pwnd peons. This is very true when pronouncing OCTADE with a thick Pennsyltucky Dutch or Yinzer accent. The Bostonian pronunciation sounds like bad beginner German or muffled mumbling of 'lactate.'

                                      OCTADE or OCTAD was also used to describe a poem of eight stanzas.

                                      OCTADE was also used to describe a period of eight years, or two leap years.

                                      OCTADECANAL is a pheromone found in butterflies. It is butterfly perfume. I would not wear butterfly cologne. But I would sell it.

                                          Debunking the Myths of the Sacred Namers - Myth # 4 - Jehovah is Pointed with the Vowel Markings of Adonai

                                          In the linked paper, Carl D. Franklin digs deep into the history of the tetragrammaton and debunks some of the myths commonly accepted as fact. The paper is part of a series and well worth the read for anyone interested in textual criticism or translation.

                                          "Is it true that the name Jehovah borrowed its vowels from Adonai?"
                                          Spoiler: No, it is not true. It is a fabrication of a false history. The pronunciation, JEHOVAH was used centuries before Galatinus, so it is impossible for him to have invented it. Moreover, there is exactly zero historical evidence that medieval scholars before Galatinus accepted any pronunciation other than JEHOVAH. They all appear to have unanimously supported this one widely known pronunciation of the tetragrammaton.

                                          A lot of religious and textual myths have resulting in mass misconceptions about biblical textual history and meaning. Some of the myths misrepresent the tetragrammaton, or the name of God. This eventually led to the creation of the artificial name, Yahweh, which is not a Hebrew word, and is in fact a cleverly disguised classical Latin name for Jove. The author defrocks the Galatinus origin myth, proving the name JEHOVAH was in use long before Galatinus.

                                          The sacred name mythos is popular in some Christian and Jewish sects as well as among the Hebrew Roots movement. This paper exposes some of the false history and baseless assertions about the pronunciation of the tetragrammaton. As it turns out, the early Masoretes and the Reformers as well as some early Catholics had gotten it right - JEHOVAH is the correctly preserved pronunciation of the name of God. The name was never 'lost' and it has been known all through recorded history, if even only by a few.

                                                  ARTICLE: https://x.com/TovRose/article/1844473294503989605

                                                  SYNOPSIS

                                                  There is no historical or textual evidence that the tetragrammaton was pointed as a 'qere' in the ancient biblical manuscripts. The claim that JHWH is a qere for Adonai is ahistorical and there are only conjectures and not proofs for the qere claim.

                                                  Moreover, the structure of the Hebrew grammar proves the tetragrammaton cannot be two syllables, as in the modern neologism, 'yahweh'. The tetragrammaton has to be three syllables, JE-HO-VAH and its shortened form is two syllables: JEHO. Its poetic form is one syllable: YAH and JAH. And there is no support for YAHWEH.

                                                  Today we are told that the tetragrammaton or 'sacred name of God' was not pronounced out of 'reverence' for the divine name. This is a Hellenist myth and wasn't even started by Hebrew-speaking people. The tetragrammaton was spoken often inside and outside of the temple, with certain rules about when and where and why it was to be spoken. But there was no actual rule or custom against speaking it--Just rules about making sure to not speak it amiss.

                                                  NOTES

                                                  Upon reading this article some things stand out to me.

                                                  Many claim that the divine name was not spoken and was substituted with 'qere' to avoid speaking it out of reverence for the name. And this is a lie.

                                                  Anyone who reveres a name actually wants to speak it and does so with respect and pride, rather than substituting a nickname. It is when we hate someone that we refuse to speak their name or prohibit others from speaking it. For example, most of the world hates the mustache man, and invoking his name is discouraged in polite conversation.

                                                  The Hebrew bible text itself repeatedly commands Israel to proclaim the divine name, not to hide it behind nicknames. Any reverence for God and his commandments would prohibit the use of 'qere' substitutions. Thus those who invented these customs were not revering God--they were dishonoring him deceitfully.

                                                  So the claim that the name was not to be spoken is nonsensical religious dogma of certain mystical sects, and not historical practice of either the temple priests or the Christians who inherited the Levitical tradition after the destruction of the temple. We must remember true history: When the temple was destroyed, the surviving Jews in Jerusalem were carried off into captivity into other parts of the world by Rome. The Jews who had converted to following Jesus before the destruction of the temple had already escaped Jerusalem before the Roman siege, and carried the traditions with them, and preserved them in early Christianity. These first Christians, most of whom were Jews, had no such custom or injunction against saying the divine name, and it shows in their writings, and in their predecessors copious transliteration of the name. Their tradition was the foundation of European Christianity, which joined forces with the Sephardim to preserve the Old Testament and Hebrew language for over a millennium of years. The Masoretes properly pointed all the words, including the divine name, to preserve their pronunciations.

                                                  The entire purpose of the Masoretic vowel pointings was specifically to preserve the correct pronunciation of every Hebrew word in the text, not to hide the pronunciation. There would have been a worldwide uproar in the scholarly community over such a practice as wrongly writing the divine name or mispronouncing it. The historical record is silent on such a thing ever occurring.

                                                  The name Jehovah with the 'J' sound is correct ancient Hebrew pronunciation of the divine name. Just as the Sephardim scribes have preserved it all these centuries, the Christian scribes took over their tradition and continued to preserve it from the time of the reformation onward. When Tyndale rendered the name as IEHOUA, he was using the pronunciation taught by the Masoretic scribes and their Christian cohorts. It was not an 'invention' but rather a transliteration into English characters of the day.

                                                  We are now at a new crossroads in history where many occultists, kabbalists, pagans, and sectarians are once again attacking the divine name and trying to cloud it with confusion and false myths. This is what liars have always done--invent stories to support their delusions. Perhaps in the coming centuries we should expect another vanguard to come and take of the tradition of preserving the name against this army of confusion.

                                                    Debunking the Myths of the Sacred Namers - Myth # 4 - Jehovah is Pointed with the Vowel Markings of Adonai

                                                    In the linked paper, Carl D. Franklin digs deep into the history of the tetragrammaton and debunks some of the myths commonly accepted as fact. The paper is part of a series and well worth the read for anyone interested in textual criticism or translation.

                                                    SYNOPSIS

                                                    "Is it true that the name Jehovah borrowed its vowels from Adonai?"

                                                    Spoiler: No, it is not true. It is a fabrication of a false history. The pronunciation, JEHOVAH was used centuries before Galatinus, so it is impossible for him to have invented it. Moreover, there is a lack of historical evidence that medieval scholars before Galatinus accepted any pronunciation other than JEHOVAH. They all appear to have unanimously supported this one widely known pronunciation of the tetragrammaton.

                                                    A lot of religious and textual myths have resulting in mass misconceptions about biblical textual history and meaning. Some of the myths misrepresent the tetragrammaton, or the name of God. This eventually led to the creation of the artificial name, Yahweh, which is not a Hebrew word, and is in fact a cleverly disguised classical Latin name for Jove. The author defrocks the Galatinus origin myth, proving the name JEHOVAH was in use long before Galatinus.

                                                    The sacred name mythos is popular in some Christian and Jewish sects as well as among the Hebrew Roots movement. This paper exposes some of the false history and baseless assertions about the pronunciation of the tetragrammaton. As it turns out, the early Masoretes and some early Catholics and the later Reformers had gotten it right - JEHOVAH is the correctly preserved pronunciation of the name of God. The name was never 'lost' and it has been known all through recorded history, if even only by a few.
