Ben Ben Stone

Benben or Ben-ben, in Egyptian mythology, or more specifically in the Heliopolitan tradition, was the mound that arose from the primordial waters, Nu, and on which the creator god Atum settled. In the Pyramid Texts, e.g. Utterance 1587, Atum himself is at times referred to as “mound”. It was said to have turned into a small pyramid, located in Annu, which was the place Atum was said to dwell within. Other cities developed their own myths of the primeval mound. At Memphis the god Tatenen, an earth god and the origin of all things in the shape of food and viands, divine offers, all good things was the personification of the primeval mound.

The Benben stone, named after the mound, was a sacred stone in the solar temple of Heliopolis. It was the location on which the first rays of the sun fell. It is thought to have been the prototype for later obelisks, and the capstones of the great pyramids were based on its design. Their tips (pyramidia) were probably gilded. The phoenix, the bennu bird, was venerated at Heliopolis, where it was said to be living on the Benben or on the holy willow. According to B. Kemp the connection between the benben, the phoenix and the sun may well have been based on alliteration: the rising, weben, of the sun sending its rays towards the benben, on which the benu bird lives. Utterance 600 of the Pyramid Texts speaks of Atum as you rose up, as the benben, in the Mansion of the Benu in Heliopolis (Hart, p.16).

Brandon Boyd's illuminated winged eye tattoo

It seems we find interesting lyrics from Brandon Boyd associated with his tattoo here. He talks about fire in the attic (light in the mind), fire defragmenting the attic (brain reorganizing itself into left-brained logic), 2012, television being mind control, humanity sleeping on its feet and even how we are cosmic painters.

Lyrics: Incubus – Anna Molly

A cloud hangs over this city by the sea.

I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be (might be)

Out there and sober as well from loneliness.

Please do persist girl, it’s time we met and made a mess .

I picture your face at the back of my eyes,

A fire in the attic, a proof of the prize!

Anna Molly, Anna Molly, Anna Molly.

A cloud hangs over and mutes my happiness,

A thousand ships couldn’t sail me back from distress. (distress)

Wish you were here and I’m a wounded satellite.

I need you now. Put me back together, make me right.

I picture your face at the back of my eyes,

A fire in the attic, a proof of the prize!

Anna Molly, Anna Molly, Anna Molly.

I’m calling your name up into the air.

Not one of the others could ever compare.

Anna Molly, Anna Molly!

Wait… there is a light… there is a fire…

Illuminated attic.

Fate. Or something better? I couldn’t care less,

Just stay with me a while.

Wait… there is a light… there is a fire,

Defragmenting the attic,

Fate? Or something better? I couldn’t care less,

Just stay with me a while.

I picture your face at the back of my eyes,

A fire in the attic, a proof of the prize!

Anna Molly, Anna Molly, Anna Molly.

I’m calling your name up into the air.

Not one of the others could ever compare.

Anna Molly, Anna Molly!

Wait… there is a light… there is a fire

Defragmenting the attic, (Anna Molly!)

Fate? Or something better?

I could care less,

Just stay with me a while (Anna Molly!)

Lyrics: Incubus – Vitamin

I’m born

I’m alive

I breathe

In a moment or two I realize,

That this sphere upon which I reside,

Is asleep upon its feet.

Should I go back to sleep?

I’m born

I’m alive

I breathe

In a moment or two I realize,

That this sphere upon which I reside,

Is asleep upon its feet.

Should I go back to sleep?

Chorus:

You stare at me like I’m a vitamin

On the surface you hate,

But you know you need me.

I’ll come dressed as any pill you deem fit.

Whatever helps you swallow the truth,

All the more easily.

We orbit the sun

I grow up

My open eyes see…..

A zombified, somnambulist society.

Leaving us as vitamins,

For the hibernating human animal.

Do you, do you, do you see what I mean?

You stare at me like I’m a vitamin

On the surface you hate,

But you know you want me.

I’ll come dressed as any pill you deem fit.

Whatever helps you swallow the truth,

All the more easily.

And I wonder, will you digest me?

Into the sleep machine I won’t plug in,

In fact I’d rather die before I will comply

To you, my friend

I write the reason I still live

’cause in my mind it’s set the vitamin is ripe to give.

Coming closer to another 2000 years

You and I will pry

The closed eye of the sleep machine.

You stare at me like I’m a vitamin

On the surface you hate,

But you know you want me.

I’ll come dressed as any pill you deem fit.

Whatever helps you swallow the truth,

All the more easily.

Lyrics: Incubus – Idiot Box

You keep your riches and I’ll sew my stitches,

you can’t make me think like you, mundane.

I’ve got a message for all those who think that

they can etch his words inside my brain

T.V., what do I need?

Tell me who to believe!

What’s the use of autonomy

when a button does it all?

So listen up,

glisten up closely all,

who’ve seen the fuckin eye ache too.

It’s time to step away from cable train

And when we finally see the subtle light,

this quirk in evolution will begin

to let us live and recreate

T.V., what do I need?

Tell me who to believe!

Whats the use of autonomy

when a button does it all?

T.V., what should I see?

Tell me who should I be?

Lets do our mom a favor and drop

a new god off a wall.

Let me see past the fatuous knocks.

I’ve gotta rid myself of this idiot box!

Let you see past the feathers and flocks,

and help me plant a bomb in this idiot box!

From the depths of the sea

to the tops of the trees

to the seat of a lazy boy…

staring at a silver screen!!

Incubus – Redefine Lyrics

Imagine your brain as a

canister filled with ink

yeah, now think of your body

as the pen where the ink resides

Fuse the two; KAPOW!

What are you now?

You’re the human magic marker, won’t you

please surprise my eyes?

It’s in your nature,

you can paint whatever picture

you like no matter what

Ted Koppel says on channel 4 tonight

So modify this third rock from the sun

by painting myriads of pictures

with the colors of one

I’m sick of painting in black and white

my pen is dry, now I’m uptight<<<<<< ((my pen is dry, and im all uptight))

So sick of limiting myself

to fit your definition

Picture the scene, where whatever you thought,

would, in the blink of an eye,

manifest and become illustrated

You’d be sure man that every

line drawn reflected a life that you loved

not an existence that you hated

So, must we demonstrate that

we can’t get it straight?

We’ve painted a picture,

now we’re drowning in paint

Lets figure out what the fuck it’s about

before the picture we painted

chews us up and spits us out

I’m sick of painting in black and white

((my pen is dry, and im all up tight))

So sick of limiting myself

to fit your definition

Redefine

Lyrics: Incubus – A Certain Shade of Green

A certain shade of green,

tell me, is that what you need?

All signs around say move ahead.

Could someone please explain to me your ever present

lack of speed?

Are your muscles bound by ropes?

Or do grudges cloud your day?

My sources say the road is clear,

and street signs point the way.

CHORUS

Are you gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.?

What are you waiting for,

A certain shade of green?

I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate.

What are you waiting for,

A certain shade of green?

Would a written invitation

signed, “Choose now or lose it all,”

sedate your hesitation?

Or inflame and make you stall?

You’ve been raised in limitation,

but that glove never fit quite right.

The time has past for hand-me-downs,

choose a new, please evolve, take flight.

CHORUS

Green.

What are you waiting for?

A written invitation?

A public declaration?

A perfect consolation?

Remember when you procrastinate you choose last.

I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate.

Are you gonna stand around till 2012 A.D.?

What are you waiting for,

A certain shade of green?

I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate.

What are you waiting for (X6)

"Blucifer" aka “Mustang” has been met with critical praise and public scorn, with The Denver Post describing it as “nothing short of a masterpiece,” while a local blogger says it “looks as if it galloped straight out of hell.”

Denver Airport

Denver International Airport (IATA: DEN, ICAO: KDEN, FAA LID: DEN), often called DIA, is, by land size at 53 square miles (140 km²), the largest international airport in the United States, and the third largest international airport in the world after King Fahd International Airport and Montreal-Mirabel International Airport.^[2] Runway 16R/34L is the longest public use runway in the United States.

In 2009, Denver International Airport was the tenth-busiest airport in the world by passenger traffic with 50,167,485 passengers. It was also the fourth-busiest airport in the world by aircraft movements with 606,006 movements.^[3]

The airport is located in northeastern Denver, Colorado, and is operated by the City and County of Denver. Denver International Airport is the busiest and largest airport in the United States without non-stop service to and from Asia, although the airport is actively seeking such flights.^[4] DIA was voted Best Airport in North America by readers of Business Traveler Magazine five years in a row (2005–2009)^[5] and was named “America’s Best Run Airport” by Time in 2002.^[6]

Denver International Airport is the main hub for low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines and commuter carrier Great Lakes Airlines. It is also the second-largest hub for United Airlines (after Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport), as well as a focus city for Southwest Airlines. Since commencing service to Denver in January 2006, Southwest has added over 40 destinations, making Denver its fastest-growing market.

Denver International Airport is the only airport in the United States to have designed and implemented an ISO 14001-certified environmental management system that covers the entire airport.^[7]

Both during construction and after the opening of the airport, Denver International Airport has set aside a portion of its construction and operation budgets for art. Gargoyles hiding in suitcases are present above the exit doors from baggage claim. There are many works of arts that call out Native American themes, and also murals displaying Nazis. The corridor from the Jeppensen Terminal and Concourse A usually contains additional temporary exhibits. Finally a number of different public art works are present in the underground train that links the main terminal with the concourses.

Mustang by New Mexico artist Luis Jiménez was one of the earliest public art commissions for Denver International Airport in 1993. Standing at 32 feet tall and weighing 9,000 pounds, “Mustang” is a blue cast-fiberglass sculpture with red shining eyes located between the inbound and outbound lanes of Peña Boulevard.^[9] Jiménez died in 2006 while creating the sculpture when a portion of it fell on him and severed an artery in his leg. At the time of his death, Jiménez had completed painting the head of the mustang. The sculpture was completed with the help of the artist’s staff, family, and professional race-car painters, Camillo Nuñez and Richard LaVato. Upon completion, the sculpture was sent to California for assembly and then shipped to Denver. “Mustang” was unveiled at DEN on February 11, 2008.^[10]

“Mustang” has received a mixed review from Colorado citizens. Many critics of the sculpture are attempting to have it removed, however the city plans to leave the installation in place for 5 years before making any decisions regarding its future. The controversy over the sculpture has received a great deal of media attention as well with coverage from the local news outlets to The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and The Daily Show.^[11][12]

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

White Horse

The first horseman as depicted in the Bamberg Apocalypse (1000-1020)

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the seven living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on Conquest.— revelation 6:1-2˄ NIV

The white horse of the apocalyptic four has been argued to represent either evil or righteousness:

As Pestilence

The other three horsemen represent evil, destructive forces, and given the unified way in which all seven are introduced and described, it may be most likely that the first horseman is correspondingly evil. The rider of white horse is often associated with Plague, as the bow is the symbol of Apollo and Artemis, and in Greek stories, illness was thought to be caused by their arrows.^[1][2] The German Stuttgarter Erklärungsbibel casts him as civil war and internal strife. One interpretation—which was held by evangelist Billy Graham—casts the rider of the white horse as the Antichrist, or a representation of false prophets, citing differences between the white horse in Revelation 6 and Jesus on the white Horse in Revelation 19.^[3] In Revelation 19 Jesus has many crowns, but in Revelation 6 the rider has just one.^[4]

As righteous

Irenaeus, an influential Christian theologian of the second century, was among the first to interpret this horseman as Christ himself, his white horse representing the successful spread of the gospel.^[2] Various scholars have since supported this theory, citing the later appearance, in Revelation 19, of Christ mounted on a white horse, appearing as The Word of God. Furthermore, earlier in the New Testament, the Book of Mark indicates that the advance of the gospel may indeed precede and foretell the apocalypse.^[1][2] The color white also tends to represent righteousness in the Bible, and Christ is in other instances portrayed as a conqueror.^[1][2] However, opposing interpretations argue that the first of the four horsemen is probably not the horseman of Revelation 19. They are described in significantly different ways, and Christ’s role as the Lamb who opens the seven seals makes it unlikely that he would also be one of the forces released by the seals.^[1][2]

Besides Christ, the horseman could represent the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was understood to have come upon the Apostles at Pentecost after Jesus’ departure from earth. The appearance of the Lamb in Revelation 5 shows the triumphant arrival of Jesus in heaven, and the white horseman could represent the sending of the Holy Spirit by Jesus and the advance of the gospel of Jesus Christ.^[5]

Red Horse

The second horseman as depicted in a thirteenth-century Apocalypse manuscript

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a huge sword.— revelation 6:3-4˄ NIV

The rider of the second horse is often taken to represent War. His horse’s color is red. In some translations, the color is specifically a “fiery” red. This color, as well as the rider’s possession of a large sword, suggests blood that is to be spilled on the battlefield.^[2] The second horseman may represent the war of conquest as opposed to civil war that the first horseman brings. The red horse could also be spiritual war brought by Christ. In Matthew 10:34 Jesus states “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Also, God is referred to as a “consuming fire” twice in Deuteronomy and once in Hebrews; hence a fiery red sword.^[2][6]

Black Horse

The third horseman as depicted in the Angers Apocalypse Tapestry (1372-82)

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”— revelation 6:5-6˄ NIV

The third horseman rides a black horse and is generally understood as Famine.^[2] The horseman carries a pair of balances or weighing scales, indicating the way that bread would have been weighed during a famine.^[6]

Of the four horsemen, the black horse and its rider are the only ones whose appearance is accompanied by a vocal pronunciation. John hears a voice, unidentified but coming from among the four living creatures, that speaks of the prices of wheat and barley, also saying “and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.” This suggests that the black horse’s famine is to drive up the price of grain but leave oil and wine supplies unaffected. One explanation for this is that grain crops would have been more naturally susceptible to famine years than olive trees and grapevines, which root more deeply;^[2][6] the statement might also suggest a continuing abundance of luxuries for the wealthy while staples such as bread are scarce, though not totally depleted.^[6] Alternatively, the preservation of oil and wine could symbolize the preservation of the Christian faithful, who used oil and wine in their sacraments.^[2]

The third horseman may also reference Daniel 11:38-39 “But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.” The scales would represent the worshipping of forces and grain is a focus of both passages.

Pale Horse

The fourth horseman as depicted in the Bamberg Apocalypse (1000-1020)

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hell was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.— revelation 6:7-8˄ NIV

The fourth and final horseman is named Death. Of all the riders, he is the only one to whom the text itself explicitly gives a name. Still others apply the names “Pestilence”^[7] or “Plague” to this horseman, based on alternative translations of the Bible (such as the Jerusalem Bible). Unlike the other three, he is not described carrying a weapon/object, instead he is followed by Hades. However, illustrations—like those above—commonly depict him carrying a scythe (like the Grim Reaper) or a sword.

The color of Death’s horse is written as khlôros (χλωρóς) in the original Koine Greek, which is often translated as “pale”, though “ashen”, “pale green”, and “yellowish green”^[6] are other possible interpretations. The color suggests the sickly pallor of a corpse.^[2][8] The natural colors of horse coats that could be indicated include dun, palomino, buckskin, or one of several color variants with dilution genes.^{[citation needed]}

The verse beginning “they were given power over the fourth of the earth” may refer solely to Death and Hades, or it may summarize the roles of all four horsemen; scholars disagree on this point.^[1]

Denver’s Anubis

A crew is installing a seven-ton, 26-foot-tall concrete sculpture of an Egyptian god at the airport.

Anubis, a statue with a jackal-head, will be built south of the Jeppesen Terminal.

Although part of the lore of the 9,000-pound “Mustang” is that its creator, Luis Jiménez, was tragically killed while making the piece, Anubis may be even more notorious. He’s the Egyptian god of death and the afterlife.

Anubis (Ancient Greek: Ἄνουβις) is the Greek name^[2] for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in Egyptian mythology. In the ancient Egyptian language, Anubis is known as Inpu, (variously spelled Anupu, Ienpw etc.).^[3] The oldest known mention of Anubis is in the Old Kingdom pyramid texts, where he is associated with the burial of the Pharaoh.^[4] At this time, Anubis was the most important god of the Dead but he was replaced during the Middle Kingdom by Osiris.^[5]

He takes names in connection with his funerary role, such as He who is upon his mountain, which underscores his importance as a protector of the deceased and their tombs, and the title He who is in the place of embalming, associating him with the process of mummification.^[4] Like many ancient Egyptian deities, Anubis assumes different roles in various contexts, and no public procession in Egypt would be conducted without an Anubis to march at the head.

142857 is the number used to construct the Enneagram, a sacred symbol of the Gurdjieff Work, that is used to explain and visualize the dynamics of the interaction between the two great laws of the Universe (according to Gurdjieff), the Law of Three and the Law of Seven. The movement of the numbers of 142857 divided by 1/7,2/7. etc., and the subsequent movement of the Enneagram, are portrayed in Gurdjieffs Sacred Dances, known as the Movements.

Law of Three [source]

The Law of Three, in a short description, means that three forces enter into every manifestation, into every phenomenon, and every event. They are called (but these are only words, because they do not express their qualities) positive, negative and neutralising, or active, passive and neutralising; or, still more simply, they may be called first force, second force and third force.

These three forces enter into everything. In many cases we understand the need for two forces — that one force cannot create an action, that there is action and resistance. But generally we are not aware of the third force. This is connected with the state of our being, the state of our consciousness. In another state we would be aware of it in many cases where we do not see it now. Sometimes we can find examples of the third force in ordinary scientific study — for example, in chemistry and in biology we can find the necessity for a third force in the creation of events and phenomena.

We begin with the study of psychology. Later we shall talk more about three forces and we may find some examples of their interaction. But it is better to be prepared and get accustomed now to the idea of the need to study these three forces.

Law of Seven 

The Law of Seven must also be described briefly. It means that no process in the world goes without interruptions.

In order to understand the meaning of this law it is necessary to regard the Universe as consisting of vibrations. Suppose something begins to vibrate at 1000 vibrations a second and the frequency increases to 2000 vibrations a second. This period is called an octave, because this law was applied to music and the period was divided into seven notes and a repetition of the first note. The octave, particularly the major octave, is really a picture or formula of a cosmic law because, in common arrangements, within one octave there are two moments when octaves slow down by themselves. Vibrations do not develop regularly. In the major octave this is shown by the missing semi-tones; that is why we are told that it is a picture of a cosmic law; but this law is not restricted to music.

The reason why it is necessary to understand the Law of Seven is that it plays a very important part in all events. If there were no Law of Seven, everything in the world would go directly to its final conclusion; but because of this law, everything deviates. For instance, if rain began it would go on without stopping; if floods began, they would cover everything; if an earthquake began it would go on indefinitely. But they stop because of the Law of Seven, because at every missing semi-tone things deviate; they do not go by straight lines.

The Law of Seven also explains why there are no straight lines in Nature. Everything in Life and in our machine is based on this law. So we shall study it in the work of our organism, because we have to study ourselves not only psychologically, not only in connection with our mental life, but also in connection with our physical life. In our physical processes we find many examples of the working of this law.

At the same time, the Law of Seven explains that, if you know how and at what moment to do it, you can give an additional shock to an octave and keep the line straight. We can observe in human activity how people start to do one thing and after some time do a quite different thing, still calling it by the first name without noticing that things have completely changed. But in personal work, particularly in work connected with this system, we must learn how to keep these octaves from deviating, how to keep a straight line. Otherwise we shall not find anything.

Misc

The Fourth Way enneagram is a mystic figure, believed to have been first published in 1947 in In Search of the Miraculous by P.D. Ouspensky. The term “enneagram” derives from two Greek words, ennea (nine) and grammos (something written or drawn). The enneagram is a nine-pointed figure usually inscribed within a circle.

Ouspensky claimed that the enneagram was part of the teachings originally presented by G.I. Gurdjieff in Russia during the First World War. Gurdjieff is quoted by Ouspensky as claiming that this form of enneagram was an ancient secret and was now being partly revealed for the first time.[1] Although no earlier publication of the Fourth Way version of the enneagram can be cited, it has been proposed that it may derive from, or be cognate to, the Jewish Tree of Life (Kabbalah) as used in Renaissance Hermeticism (which used an enneagram of three interlocking triangles, also called a nonagram)[2] or a nine-pointed figure used by the Christian medieval philosopher Ramon Llull.[2] Idries Shah, a populariser of Sufism, has claimed that the enneagram has a Sufi provenance and that it has also been long known in coded form disguised as an octagram.[3] Another claim to a Sufi provenance is offered by the Sufi Enneagram website. Robin Amis claims an Orthodox Christian origin, claiming that both Gurdijeff and Ouspensky developed their teaching with insights gained from visits to Mount Athos.[4]

This ancient approximation to Pi has been associated with Jewish mysticism. In particular, it is known in certain circles of Kabbalists such as the “Mediogegnians”, that the twenty two characters of the Hebrew language represent a complete circumference that when divided by seven (the sacred number of cycles) produces the Kabbalistic Pi , also known within this circle of practitioners as the “perfect ” Pi.

142857 is the six repeating digits of 1/7, 0.142857, and is the best-known cyclic number in base 10.[1][2][3][4] If you multiply the number by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, the answer will be a cyclic permutation of itself, and equivalent to 2/7, 3/7, 4/7, 5/7, or 6/7, respectively.

1 × 142,857 = 142,857

2 × 142,857 = 285,714

3 × 142,857 = 428,571

4 × 142,857 = 571,428

5 × 142,857 = 714,285

6 × 142,857 = 857,142

7 × 142,857 = 999,999

If you multiply by an integer bigger than 7, there is a simple process to get to a cyclic permutation of 142857. By adding the first six digits (ones through hundred thousands) to the remaining digits and repeating this process until you have only the six digits left, it will result in a cyclic permutation of 142857

142857 × 8 = 1142856

1 + 142856 = 142857

142857 × 815 = 116428455

116 + 428455 = 428571

Multiplying by a multiple of 7 will result in 999999 through this process

142857 × 7⁴ = 342999657

342 + 999657 = 999999

If you square the last three digits and subtract the square of the first three digits, you also get back a cyclic permutation of the number.

857² = 734449

142² = 20164

734449 – 20164 = 714285

It is the repeating part in the decimal expansion of the rational number 1/7 = 0.142857. Thus, multiples of 1/7 are simply repeated copies of the corresponding multiples of 142857:

1 ÷ 7 = 0.142857

2 ÷ 7 = 0.285714

3 ÷ 7 = 0.428571

4 ÷ 7 = 0.571428

5 ÷ 7 = 0.714285

6 ÷ 7 = 0.857142

7 ÷ 7 = 0.999999

8 ÷ 7 = 1.142857

9 ÷ 7 = 1.285714

22 ÷ 7 = 3.142857, an ancient approximation to Pi.

Simply combining the digits in different ways and dividing by 7 or a multiple of 7

142 + 857 = 999

999 ÷ 7 = 142.714285

14 + 28 + 57 = 99

99 ÷ 7 = 14.142857

1 + 4 + 2 + 8 + 5 + 7 = 27

27 ÷ 7 = 3.857142

857 – 142 = 715

715 ÷ 7 = 102.142857

1 × 4 × 2 × 8 × 5 × 7 = 2240

2240 ÷ 49 = 45.714285

1 + 42 + 857 = 900

900 ÷ 7 = 128.571428

1 × 4 ÷ 2 × 8 ÷ 5 × 7 = 22.4

22.4 ÷ 49 = 0.4571428

In base 10, 142,857 is a Harshad number and a Kaprekar number.
