Thieve’s of Bagdad

Last night, my life partner, Cath, tells me of a recent news report, Former Women’s Hockey Rivals Welcomes Baby Girl.  And the two share other things in common— both were Captains,  Caroline Ouellette for Canada and Julie Wu Chu for the US; AND both wore Jersey #13!!  This is no coincidence, and nor is it a coincidence that I wore number 13 when playing basketball.  Now grant you, I chose # 13 because I was born on the 13th, and from my perspective, my choice was a challenge to the superstition of #13 being unlucky.  Grant you, when pushed over by #13 of an opposing team member, my wrist had broken.  Now I could have jumped on the “superstious” band wagon after that, however my logical brain wouldn’t go there whatsoever!!  And besides, I was still born on the 13th— a lucky day indeed!!

Now note the following info on the new parents and their baby girl:

• Caroline Ouellette (born May 25, 1979)
• Julie Wu Chu (born March 13, 1982) 
• Liv Chu Oullette (born November 5, 2017)  

Only one of the two #13 jersey wearers was born on the 13th, and so what we now have, is a “March 13, __, __, June 13/ 13th Day, Month Sequence” pattern-cluster.  From here I turned to Liv’s birthdate.  Venturing to the November 5 wiki page, and using the formula  we arrive at:

• 1999 – James Goldstone (born June 8, 1931) director, screenwriter
• 1999 – Colin Rowe (27 March 1920 – 5 November 1999) architect
• 2000 – Jimmie Houston Davis, (September 11, 1899 – November 5, 2000) 47th Governor of Louisiana /singer, songwriter.  

• 2000 – Bibi Titi Mohammed ( died November 5) politician 
• 1666 – Attilio Ariosti (born 5 November 1666 – 1729) viola player, composer 

The name Mohammed stands out because of the recent “Arab/Muslim Theme” pattern-cluster.  Of the 5, three have their date of birth and/or deaths recorded on their wiki pages.  When something like this occurs, we’re expected to investigate the two who’s date of birth/death aren’t included.  And so  we turn first to Mohammed’s wiki page, looking for notable persons. I find one: Julius Nyerere:

• Julius Kambarage Nyerere (13 April 1922 – 14 October 1999) President of Tanzania

Note his birthday... And so the cluster expands, bridging one of the gaps: “March 13, April 13, __, June 13/ 13th Day, Month Sequence” pattern-cluster.

On Ariosti’s wiki page there are a number of notable persons, note from their wiki pages:

• Sophia Charlotte of Hanover (30 October 1668 – 1 February 1705)
• James VI and I (James Charles Stuart; 19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625)
• Sophia of the Palatinate (14 October 1630 – 8 June 1714) 
• Anthoni Schoonjans (1655 – 13 August 1726) 
• George Frideric (or Frederick) Handel (23 February 1685 (O.S.)[(N.S.) 5 March] – 14 April 1759)
• Giovanni Bononcini (or Buononcini) (18 July 1670 – 9 July 1747) 

And the cluster expands again: “March 13, April 13, __, June 13, __, August 13 / 13th Day, Month Sequence” pattern-cluster.  And so Nyerere and Ariosti are connected vial the newly formed “October 14(x2)” pattern-cluster.  As well, we  also now have a “June 8(x2)” pattern-cluster.  We could bridge the gaps and investigate June 8 and October 14 since they are free game.  Instead I’ll continue with the Notable Events section of the November 5 wiki page, where 2 things catch my eye:

• 1872 – Women's suffrage in the United States: In defiance of the law, suffragist Susan B. Anthony votes for the first time, and is later fined $100.
• 1605 – Gunpowder Plot: Guy Fawkes is arrested. 

Note from the wiki pages of the two mentioned:

• Susan Brownell Anthony (February 15, 1820 – March 13, 1906) 
• Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606) 

 And the cluster expands two more times: “March 13(x2), April 13(x2), __, June 13, __, August 13 / 13th Day, Month Sequence” pattern-cluster  .  

Turning now to the March 13 (Chu’s birthday)wiki page the first item in the Events Section catches my eye:

• 624 – Battle of Badr: a key battle between Muhammad's army – the new followers of Islam and the Quraysh of Mecca. The Muslims won this battle, known as the turning point of Islam, which took place in the Hejaz region of western Arabia.

Another addition to the recent “Arab/Muslim Theme” pattern-cluster... and the recent “Mad/Sad/Bad Rhyme” pattern-cluster.  And where ever  a notable person is mentioned in a case like this,  we must investigate, note from Muhammad’s wiki page:

•  Muhammad(  c. 570 CE – 8 June 632 CE)

And so we now have a “June 8(x3)” pattern-cluster.

And now let’s deal with  Caroline Oulette’s birthday.  Venturing to the May 25 wiki page using the formula ... and limiting our search we arrive at  the intended:

1888 – Miles Malleson, English actor and screenwriter (d. 1969)

Much can be garnered from his name alone—as just one example,  the MM being an addition to the “Alliteration Theme” pattern-cluster.   Note from his wiki page:

• Miles Malleson (25 May 1888 – 15 March 1969)

And so we now have a “March 13, __, 15/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.   We could bridge the gap, butt I’ll continue in another direction.  He was an actor, in the first paragraph of his wiki page, one of his films mentioned catches my eye:

•  The Thief of Bagdad

Another addition to the “Arab/Muslim Theme” pattern-cluster.  And Bagdad rhymes with... and so an addition to the  “Mad, Sad, Bad, Bagdad/ Rhyme” pattern-cluster.  On the films wiki page two of the cast stands out:

• June Duprez as the Princess
• Mary Morris as Halima, Jaffar's agent 

The name June Duprez definitely has cryptic other meaning: June dues (two) President .  I’m reminded that US President Trump’s birthday is June 14.  Note from Duprez’s Wiki page;

• June Ada Rose Duprez (14 May 1918 – 30 October 1984) 

And we now have a “May 14, June 14, __, __, __, October 14(x2)” pattern-cluster.  As for Mary Morris, her  initials are MM as well.  And now note from her wiki page:

• Mary  Morris (13 December 1915 – 14 October 1988) 

And I forgot to mention, December 13 is also the date of my car crash of 2000– the pivotal event in my life that enabled me to become aware of the inner twin world for the first time.  And so two clusters expand:  

•  “March 13, April 13, __, June 13, __, August 13, __, __, __, December 13  / 13th Day, Month Sequence” pattern-cluster.  
• “May 14, June 14, __, __, __, October 14(x3)” pattern-cluster.

Three gaps are free game and so open for investigation.  Any takers?!   And keep in mind that May 14 and June 8th generate other clusters given the birthdays of 2 other key players in the inner twin worlds Starr Family Production— Rob (born May 16) and Trish MacGregor (June 7) ... both playing antagonist (thieves) roles,  and so generating a “May 14, __, 16/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster and a “__, June 7, June 8, __/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.
