 " ‘TO HELL WITH BURMA' THE SPEAKER WAS RANSOM RUSK SITTING in his mansion in Larkin with a world atlas in his lap. He had been trying to determine what foreign country was a few square miles smaller than Texas, so that he could say in his next address to the Boosters’ Club: ‘Texas is a country in itself, bigger than …’ He had hoped it would be some prominent land like France, but that comparison would belittle Texas, which had 267,338 square miles, while France had a meager 211,207 and Spain a miserable 194,884. No, the true comparison was with Burma, which had 261,789. But who had heard of it?
  Rechecking his figures, he slammed the atlas shut: Hell, the men in our club would think it was in Africa!
  Africa Was much on his mind these days, for he had spent his last three vacations in Kenya collecting trophies for his distinguished African Hall: elephant, eland, zebra. Of course he knew that Burma was not in Africa, but it pleased him to dismiss it in that insulting way: Who could imagine Burma giving Texas competition? Kills my whole point."~~~James A. Michener: TEXAS. Ch.14 Power and Change.

 "THE CHIEF CHARACTER in this narrative is the Caribbean Sea, one of the world’s most alluring bodies of water, a rare gem among the oceans, defined by the islands that form a chain of lovely jewels to the north and east. Although bounded on the south and west by continental land masses, it is the islands that give the Caribbean its unique charm. On the north lies the large and important trio: Puerto Rico, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and great Cuba. On the east are those heavenly small islands that so artistically dot the blue waves: Antigua, Guadeloupe, Martinique, All Saints, Trinidad and remote Barbados among them. The southern shore is formed by the South American countries of Venezuela and Colombia and the Central American nation of Panamá. The western shore is often overlooked, but it contains both the exciting republics of Central America—Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras—and the wonderful, mysterious peninsula of Yucatán where the ancient Maya flourished.

The Caribbean, nearly nineteen hundred miles wide from Barbados to Yucatán, does not include either the Bahama Islands or Florida, but does contain near its center an island which at intervals assumed an importance greater than most of the others, Jamaica with its turbulent history."~~~James A. Michener: CARIBBEAN

Pablo Picasso made his sculpture "Pregnant Woman" to inspire Françoise Gilot to give birth to the third child The sculpture was dedicated to Her, his talented Muse, and was made of plaster, metal fittings, wood, ceramic vessels and jugs.

 The Loggia of Bigallo, built in the mid 14th century for the Compagnia della Misericordia together with the neighbouring oratory, became in 1425 the seat of the Compagnia del Bigallo, named after the hospital it directed at Santa Maria a Fonteviva that was known as Hospital of Bigallo.

  A little-known fact about this period, reported by Peter Drucker in Managing in the Next Society, is that Kafka invented the first civilian hard hat. He received a medal for this invention in 1912 because it reduced Bohemian steel mill deaths to fewer than 25 per thousand employees.

 Ps91:10 


10non accedet ad te malum et lepra non adpropinquabit tabernaculo tuo

10Aucun malheur ne t'arrivera, Aucun fléau n'approchera de ta tente.  

10 no te sobrevendrá mal ni plaga tocará tu morada,  

10non ti accadrà alcun male, né piaga alcuna si accosterà alla tua tenda. 

 ¹⁰ Darum wird dir nichts Böses zustoßen, kein Unglück wird dein Haus erreichen.

Ps.91
