A total of 8 notable persons named Frank (or diminutive of Frank) are listed on the Deaths in 2013 site between June 2-9:
This certainly warrants further research. Note the etymology of the name http://www.behindthename.com/name/frank-1:
- Frank J. Magill
- Fran Bascom
- Frank Lautenberg
- Sir Frank Gibb
- Franz Kelch
- Steve LaFrance
- Frank Salvat
- K. T. Francis
Okaaay ... so that's 8 in 7 days!! Note the following stats since January 2013 regarding notable Franks (or diminutive) found on each month:
5 in January; 5 in February; 6 in March; 5 in April ; 7 in May; 8 between June 2-9.Keep in mind that the Franks in each of the previous months didn't occur within a week, butt spread throughout the month, so this cluster of 8 within 7 days in June is unusual... that is, unless you're aware of the inner twin world and how they generate clusters like these in which to communicate.
This certainly warrants further research. Note the etymology of the name http://www.behindthename.com/name/frank-1:
Frank: From a Germanic name which referred to a member of the Germanic tribe, the Franks. The Franks settled in the regions now called France and the Netherlands in the 3rd and 4th century. They derived their tribal name from the name of a type of spear that they used.
Sweden at 77 is audd... I thought France would be up there... butt then again the French version is Francis or Francois. This is not the first time that the "Frank" pattern-cluster has cropped up, note my December 26, 2012 post entitled, Frank Pastore RIIP, note this excerpt:
United States
ranked #308 Netherlands
ranked #451 Sweden
ranked #77
On perusing the posts, you'll see that both involve the name "Frank" and that they also tie in with "franc"-- the French monetary unit.
Note the following etymology of the name Frank http://www.behindthename.com/name/frank-1:
Note the painting of Clovis with "fleur de lis spear"... or the Agon/Frank javelin/spear http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clovis_I
Note the following excerpts that I just looked up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franc:
Note the following from the wiki page of Mary Shell, the author of Frankenstein http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Shelley
And since we're on the topic of Frank and Resin, note the following:
As I explained on a number of occasions in earlier posts, resin was the first substance that was minted into easily transported "coin/franc" (likely with a hole in the center that they strung on chords-- the first jewelry). This was later crushed and hydrated into gum that they would then use to make the Clear upper shell of their specialized homes-- the TUSSH (the Two United Structure System Home). It stands to reason that evidence of this ancient culture and the "gum" so necessary for their survival in the glaciated north.

_________
From a Germanic name which referred to a member of the Germanic tribe, the Franks. The Franks settled in the regions now called France and the Netherlands in the 3rd and 4th century. They derived their tribal name from the name of a type of spear that they used.This reminded me of the fleur de lis (emblem on the French flag), note the following from the wiki site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur-de-lis:
The fleur-de-lis or fleur-de-lys (plural: fleurs-de-lis)[pron 1] is a stylized lily (in French,fleur means flower, and lis means lily) or iris that is used as a decorative design orsymbol.
Another (debated) hypothesis is that the symbol derives from the Frankish Angon. The angon, or sting, was a typical Frankish throwing spear. A possibly derived symbol of Frankish royalty was the bee, as found in the burial of Childric I. A 9th-century mosaic, from San Giovanni church in Rome, shows St Peter handing the Oriflamme, the imperial banner, to Charlemagne. The finial of the oriflamme is clearly a spearhead and very like the earliest depictions of the fleur-de-lis, on the seals of Robert II (around 1000 AD) and Phillip II (around 1180 AD).Note the following excerpt re the Angon spear/javelin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angon:
Before the battle lines joined and warriors engaged in hand to hand combat, they would attempt to thin the enemy ranks withranged weapons. This would begin with archery, followed by an exchange of javelins and throwing axes prior to closing.[7]The scholar Agathias recorded the use of angons by Frankish warriors at the Battle of Casilinum in 554:
Suppose a Frank throws his angon in an engagement. If the spear strikes a man anywhere the point will penetrate, and neither the wounded man nor anyone else can easily pull it out because the barbs which pierce the flesh hold it in and cause terrible pain, so that even if the enemy is not fatally hit he still dies as a result. And if it sticks in the shield, it fixes in it at once and is carried around with it, the butt dragging on the ground. The man who has been hit cannot pull out the spear because the barbs have gone in, and he cannot cut it off because of the iron that covers the shaft. When the Frank sees this he quickly treads on it with his foot, stepping on the ferrule [iron finial on the butt of a spear or other pole weapon] and forcing the shield downwards so that the man's hand is loosened and his head and breast bared. Then, taking him unprotected, he kills him easily either cleaving his head with an axe or piercing his throat with another spear.[3]

| Clovis |
The poem recording the Battle of Maldon in Essex, England in 991 AD describes an encounter between the earl Byrhtnothand a group of Vikings in which an exchange of javelins is made before the warriors draw their swords and engage in close combat.[11
The Fragmentary Chronicle of Saragossa credits an ango with killing King Amalaric of the Visigoths.[4]
Note the painting of Clovis with "fleur de lis spear"... or the Agon/Frank javelin/spear http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clovis_I
Note the following excerpts that I just looked up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franc:
- The franc (₣) is the name of several currency units. The French franc was the former currency of France until the euro was adopted in 1999 (by law, 2002 de facto). The Swiss franc is a major world currency today due to the prominence of Swissfinancial institutions. The name is said to derive from the Latininscription francorum rex ("King of the Franks") on early Frenchcoins, or from the French franc, meaning "free" (and "frank").
- Liechtenstein retains the ability to mint its own currency, the Liechtenstein frank, which it does from time to time for commemorative or emergency purposes.
The combination, "Liechtenstein frank", as mentioned in the second excerpt above, reminds me of "Frankenstein" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein#Name_origins, note this excerpt:
In the novel, the monster is identified only via words such as "creature", "monster", "fiend", "wretch", "vile insect", "daemon", "being", and "it". Speaking to Victor Frankenstein, the monster refers to himself as "the Adam of your labors", and elsewhere as someone who "would have" been "your Adam", but is instead "your fallen angel."Audd that June 12 would crop up... considering that I started this post on June 12th.
The creature has often been mistakenly called "Frankenstein". In 1908 one author said "It is strange to note how well-nigh universally the term "Frankenstein" is misused, even by intelligent people, as describing some hideous monster...".[21] Edith Wharton's The Reef (1916) describes an unruly child as an "infant Frankenstein."[22] David Lindsay's "The Bridal Ornament", published in The Rover, 12 June 1844, mentioned "the maker of poor Frankenstein." After the release of James Whale's popular 1931 filmFrankenstein, the public at large began speaking of the monster itself as "Frankenstein". A reference to this occurs in Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and in several subsequent films in the series, as well as in film titles such as Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
Note the following from the wiki page of Mary Shell, the author of Frankenstein http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Shelley
Mary Shelley (née Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin; 30 August 1797 – 1 February 1851)Note the following info regarding her day of death:
February 1 is the 32nd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 333 days remaining...Since the etymology of names site records the origins of Frank as being a particular spear that the Franks used, and since I'm aware that spear points were fire hardened using resinous substance in pre-historic times I did some research here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spear, note this excerpt:
From 200,000 BP onwards, Middle Paleolithic humans began to make complex stone blades with flaked edges which were used as spear heads. These stone heads could be fixed to the spear shaft by gum or resin or by bindings made of animal sinew, leather strips or vegetable matter.Note the following info on fire hardening http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_hardening:
Fire hardening, also known as "fire-polishing", is the process of removing moisture from wood, changing its structure and material properties, by slowly and lightly charring it over a fire. This makes a point, like that of a spear, or an edge, like that of a knife, more durable.The point of bring all this information up, is to reveal that prehistoric humans living in the glaciated North used RESIN... they used GLUE!! So, they would have known the propensity for some resins to bee clear (ie: resins from sugary substance... like honey, albeit golden). During glaciated times, the norther hemisphere was either covered with glaciers or mostly permafrost land which didn't have trees... butt they had an abundance of flowers in spring that were particularly high in sugar. Which now brings me to the French Fleur de Lis (Lily Flower).
Pre-historic weapon makers would rub the end of a selected wood pole against a smooth rock surface until a point was achieved. Then the point was heated in a fire, making sure to thrust the point into the coals. This put a light coating of carbon on the surface, which was then polished with a special stone, which ground fine particles of stone into the pitch which had been brought to the surface of the wood by the fire. Subsequent firings and polishings of the wooden tip of the spear would eventually form a hardened glaze consisting of pitch, wood particles and carbon on the tip which could eventually be even harder than a copper tip. This kind of primitive technology was available to primitive humans for at least 400,000 years, long before flint or stone points were used.
And since we're on the topic of Frank and Resin, note the following:
Frankincense, also called olibanum (Arabic: لُبَّانٌ, lubbān; Somali:luubaan; Hindi: Dhoop; Hebrew: לבונה, levonah), is an aromatic resin obtained from trees of the genus Boswellia, particularly Boswellia sacra,B. carteri, B. thurifera, B. frereana and B. bhaw-dajiana (Burseraceae). The English word is derived from old French "franc encens" (i.e. high quality incense)[1] and is used in incense and perfumes.Frankincense is tapped from the scraggly but hardy trees by slashing the bark, which is called striping, and allowing the exuded resin to bleed out and harden. These hardened resins are called tears.Note the name of the tree that frankincense comes from-- boswellia, which breaks down into bos-wellia, note the etymology of similar words:
bose (n.)"to seek for hollows underground by ramming the ground and observing the vibrations," 1929, ultimately from Scottish word boss "hollow, empty" (1510s), earlier a noun meaning "small cask, wine flask" (late 14c.).
bosom (n.)
boss (n.2)
well (adv.)
well (v.)
As I explained on a number of occasions in earlier posts, resin was the first substance that was minted into easily transported "coin/franc" (likely with a hole in the center that they strung on chords-- the first jewelry). This was later crushed and hydrated into gum that they would then use to make the Clear upper shell of their specialized homes-- the TUSSH (the Two United Structure System Home). It stands to reason that evidence of this ancient culture and the "gum" so necessary for their survival in the glaciated north.
