ON THIS DAY: In 590 Khosrau II was crowned king of Persia. In 1493, while on board the Niña, Christopher Columbus writes an open letter (widely distributed upon his return to Portugal) describing his discoveries and the unexpected items he came across in the New World. In 1764 Pierre Laclède founded a fur post in Spanish Louisiana that became the city of St. Louis (Missouri, USA). In 1946 ENIAC, the first electronic general-purpose computer, was formally dedicated at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. In 1965 a new red-and-white maple leaf design was adopted as the flag of Canada, replacing the old Canadian Red Ensign banner. In 1971 the decimalization of British coinage was completed on Decimal Day. In 2001 the first draft of the complete human genome was published in Nature
Quote of the day:
“Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.”
~ Henri Nouwen [Dutch Catholic priest, professor, writer and theologian]
