Brute Step on …?!

 Wikepedia’s deaths in 2024 site lists under November 3: 

• Birutė Žilytė-Steponavičienė, 94, Lithuanian graphic artist, book illustrator, and painter
• Birutė Janina Grasilda Žilytė-Steponavičienė (2 June 1930 – 3 November 2024)

Her first is an addition to the “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern cluster, and so making “brute”, her first and surname also contain additions to the “Word in Name” pattern cluster, and so we then have “rut”, “step”, “on”.  All of the words suggest violence/abuser.  

On her wiki page there is only one notable person mentioned who also has a wikipedia page: 

In 1969 Birutė Žilytė was awarded the Golden Apple award at the Bratislava Children's Book Illustration Biennale for her illustrations for the 1967 edition of the poetry book Aukso sietelis (The Golden Sieve) by Janis Rainis

Note the cryptic “Rains” in his surname.  Note from his wiki page: 

Jānis Pliekšāns (11 September 1865 – 12 September 1929)

WHOA!!  For one, his birthday is an addition to “Targeting Notable Dates” patter cluster, and his date of death is an addition to the “Off By One” pattern cluster.  We also have an “September __, 11, 12, __/Date Sequence” pattern cluster…, with our next question being which gap to bridge…, and we know we are being prompted to bridge the “September 10 gap” since it is “one off” from 9/11 as is September 12th.  Also note his birth name is different, and it contains the word “lie”.   On Janis wiki page his wife is also notable with wikipedia page: 

Aspazija was the pen name of Elza Johanna Emilija Lizete Pliekšāne (née Elza Rozenberga; 16 March 1865 – 5 November 1943)

Note her date of death, since today is November 4th, we have another addition to the “Off By One” pattern cluster.   Another prompt to bridge the September 10 gap!!  

On the September 10 wiki page using the formula as per usual we arrive at two individuals, one in the Notable Births list and the other in the Notable Deaths list: : 

• 1888 – Israel Abramofsky(September 10, 1888 – January 16, 1975) painter 
• 2000 – Zaib-un-Nissa Hamidullah (25 December 1918 – 10 September 2000)Indian-Pakistani journalist and author 

Although the two do factor in, the “Off by One” pattern cluster that has occurred serves to direct us to those in the list who are listed in the year above and below, and so providing us with three from the Notable Births List and four from the Notable Deaths list: 

• 1996 – Joanne Dru (January 31, 1922 – September 10, 1996) actress 
• 1996 – Hans List (30 April 1896 – 10 September 1996) scientist and inventor 
• 2004 – Brock Adams (January 13, 1927 – September 10, 2004) 5th US Secr of Transportation 

• 1887 – Giovanni Gronchi (10 September 1887 – 17 October 1978) 3rd President Italian Republic 
• 1887 – Kenneth Mason (10 September 1887 – 2 June 1976) geographer 
• 1887 – Govind Ballabh Pant (10 September 1887 – 7 March 1961)1st Chief Min of Uttar Pradesh
• 1889 – Ivar Theodore Böhling (10 September 1889 – 12 January 1929) wrestler

Note we now have a “June 2(x2)” pattern cluster and  a “January 12, 13, __, … 31/Date Sequence” pattern cluster , .  I’ll only follow the second lead and leave the other for whoever.  

So bridging the January 14 gap and taking into consideration the “Off by One” patter cluster, we arrive at: 

• 1997 – Dollard Ménard (7 March 1913 – 14 January 1997)  Canadian general (b. 1913)
• 2000 – Leonard Weisgard (December 13, 1916 – January 14, 2000) author, illustrator 
• 2004 – Uta Hagen (12 June 1919 – 14 January 2004) actress 
• 2004 – Ron O'Neal(September 1, 1937 – January 14, 2004) actor, director, screenwriter 

December 13 is the same day as my car crash in 2000, a pivotal day in the inner twin world scheme of things and so another addition to the “Targeting Notable Date” pattern cluster.  And June 12 is “one off” from my birthday.
