Appendix:Â A Linguistic Explanation of the Name Jezreel in Hebrew.

In our recent article,
Strange Coincidence? New Research Breakthrough! The Prophet Hosea and the Cimmerians
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/16/zera.html
We drew a parallel between the name "Jezreel" (Hosea 1:4) applied by the Prophet to a portion of the Ten Tribes in Exile and a name applied to the Cimmerians by the Assyrians.
The Cimmerians were referred to as "zer halqati" where "halqati" means "lost, destroyed, or wandering".
"Zer" was understood to connote "breed" or "seed", "scattered" and/or "foreign".

To those who are not familiar with Hebrew the similarity between Zer and Yizreel may not be so obvious.
Here are some linguistic notes that might help:
Modern Hebrew exegesis reduces all Hebrew word roots to three letters.
In the past there existed a system of understanding based on word roots of two letters only. Both notions (i.e. either 2 or alternately 3 letter word roots) are correct in different contexts.
The word Jezreel in Hebrew is Yizra-el. The suffix "-el" means God. This was invariably dropped when re-applied in foreign parts.
We are thus left with Yizra with the "a" merely serving a phonetic function and nothing more than that. This gives us Yizr which has three consonants YiZR.
  In Hebrew the vowels assist in qualifying the grammatical meaning, e.g. fist tense, second tense, etc. They usually have no meaning beyond that.
The Yi- prefix in Yi-zra connotes "he will". It makes the word-root ZR take the third person singular future tense.
We are thus left with two letters ZR.
In principle these two letters together indicate "outside". We thus have the word spelled ZR but pronounced Zer meaning outsider, stranger, or foreigner.
The combination ZR with the addition of the suffix "-H" (ZRH) connotes put outside, spread abroad, sow, cast out.
This same combination ZR with the addition of the ayin suffix "-E" means put outside with power of its own to regenerate, i.e. seed. Zera means seed.
These combinations are the same as those given for the adjectival noun "zer" applied as a name to the Cimmerians.
In Hebrew these are the implications of the name Jezreel.
This was the name the Prophet Hosea said would be applied to a third part of the Ten Tribes and the first grouping to be spoken of.
The Assyrians applied the appellation zer halqati ONLY to the Cimmerians and to the Unmman Manada who were synonymous with the Cimmerians.
This name is the equivalent of the Hebrew Yizra-el (Jezreel) which was one of the three children of Hosea (1:4) representing the Ten Tribes in their place of Exile.
This is a research break-through of potential importance.

2. Kathy Benedict: Remembering John Hulley
Mr. Davidi,
I want to thank you for the post about the passing of John Hulley. He was a good friend of mine and I am very grateful that I was able to find out this information on your web site. I will miss him so much! He was a very intelligent, kind man with a great sense of humor! I have so many memories of him and how much he made me laugh. May he rest in peace.
Kathy Benedict

3. Encouragement from Winston Churchill
The Fabulously Flawed Winston Churchill

Extracts:
From the word go, Winston was a pain in the arse - defying parents, teachers, political opponents and even death.
At school, Winston was stubbornly defiant - one teacher called him the 'naughtiest small boy in the world.'
He did so poorly that his father, the 7th Duke of Marlborough, assumed he'd end up a 'social wastrel.'
Desperate to win his father's favor, Churchill set his sights on a military career. But he failed the Sandhurst entrance exam, twice, and just barely got in to the military academy on his third attempt.
Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential,
Churchill would later say.
At the academy, Churchill discovered his talent for logistics and strategy. He finished eighth in a class of 150, and the pragmatic skills he mastered would be put to good use in numerous campaigns, both on the ground and in war rooms.
To improve is to change. To be perfect is to have changed often,
he said. It was to be his lifelong theme.Â
