Jewish History
Moses Breaks Tablets (1313 BCE)
The Talmud (Taanit 28b) lists five tragic events in Jewish history that occurred on Tammuz 17, on account of which a fast was instituted on this day (see Laws & Customs").The first of these occurred in 1313 BCE, forty days after the Giving of the Torah on Sivan 6. Upon descending Mount Sinai and witnessing Israel's worship of the Golden Calf (see "Today in Jewish History" for yesterday, Tammuz 16), Moses smashed the Tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments which he was carrying down from the mountain.

Tammuz was one of the ancient gods who gets killed on the longest day of the year, then makes a journey to the Underworld where he is reborn on the shortest day of the year.
Same for Attis, Osiris, and Anibus. Their priests castrated themselves and wore woman’s clothes in their temples.
Ezekiel 8:14-16 Then he brought me to the entrance of the gate to the LORD’s Temple, which faced the north. That’s where I saw women seated, weeping for Tammuz. Then he asked me, “Do you see this, Son of Man? You’re about to see even more detestable practices than these.”

Columbia, meaning "dove"
Jonah, meaning "dove"
The Talmud compares the spirit of God hovering over the waters to a dove that hovers over her young.[12][13][14]
In post-biblical Judaism, souls are envisioned as bird-like (Bahir 119), a concept that may be derived from the Biblical notion that dead spirits "chirp" (Isa. 29:4). The Guf, or Treasury of Souls, is sometimes described as a columbarium, a dove cote. This connects it to a related legend: the "Palace of the Bird's Nest", the dwelling place of the Messiah's soul until his advent (Zohar II: 8a--9a). The Vilna Gaon explicitly declares that a dove is a symbol of the human soul (Commentary to Jonah, 1). The dove is also a symbol of the people Israel (Song of Songs Rabbah 2:14), an image frequently repeated in Midrash.
and the spirit of God was hovering: The Throne of Glory was suspended in the air and hovered over the face of the water with the breath of the mouth of the Holy One, blessed be He and with His word, like a dove, which hovers over the nest, acoveter in Old French, to cover, hover over.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
4 And God saw the light that it was good, and God separated between the light and between the darkness.https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/8165/showrashi/true#lt=primary
"And the spirit of G-d hovered upon the waters." (Gen. 1:2) Midrash Rabba explains that this "spirit of G-d" hovering upon the waters is actually the "soul of Mashiach," a term that refers to the highest possible G-d awareness/truth awareness that human beings are capable of.

Esther is thought to be forged from the Hebrew root s-t-r, which means "hide," in reference to the Persian queen's hidden identity. However, Esther is most often traced to the Old Persian stāra, which means "star," aligning the name to the Near Eastern goddess Ishtar.

You are Jonah. The real you, for "Jonah"--in Kabbalistic parlance--is another name for the soul. Hence, the story of Jonah is the story of a soul's journey here on earth. Thus, on Yom Kippur, as we examine our lives and consider our purpose in this world, we remember the historical Jonah whose real-life narrative symbolizes our spiritual odyssey.
Your story begins at birth. A soul from on high is plunged into an earthly body...

Who knows 50? The distinguished number of transcendence.
According to Philip Schaff,[3] the phrase "all roads lead to Rome" is a reference to the Milliarium Aureum—the specific point to which all roads were said to lead. A marble structure speculated to be the base of the milestone is present in the Roman Forum.

Some features of hex keys are:
•The tool is simple, small and light.
•The contact surfaces of the screw or bolt are protected from external damage.
•There are six contact surfaces between bolt and driver.
•Very small bolt heads can be accommodated.
•The tool allows the use of headless and recessed-head screws.
•The screw can be held by the key while it is inserted into its hole.
•The torque applied to the screw is constrained by the length and thickness of the key.
•The tool is cheap to manufacture, so it can be included with products requiring end-user assembly.
•Either end of the tool can be used to take advantage of reach or torque.
•The tool can be reconditioned by grinding the worn-out end.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_key
