Saint John of God

Feast Day: March 8

Patronage: booksellers, firefighters, heart patients, hospitals, nurses, printers, publishers, the sick

Saint John of God was a Portuguese-born soldier turned health-care worker in Spain. He was impulsive and at times reckless, yet had a deep interior prayer life. He was a shepherd, soldier, bookseller, and hospital worker. When he was 40, after a sermon by St. John of Avila, he had a profound conversion to selflessly dedicate his life for others. He started the Brothers Hospitallers to continue his work among the poor, sick, homeless and unwanted.

DEAR, by Michela Marianecci, is a collection of letters written to everything that never wrote back:

To the body, the mind, the soul, to God and grief and the father who left too soon.

Nintendo - "Les Nouveaux Défis"'

[NES] [FRANCE] [MAGAZINE] [1988]

"The NES was originally scheduled to be released in September 1987, coinciding with the launch of the Master System, but the shipment arriving by sea from Japan was delayed. Consequently, it was not released until late October 1987 and was distributed by ASD. France received a shipment of 40,000 consoles from Japan for the launch, though only 10,000 units were actually sold by the end of 1987. The console was released in two bundles: the "Control Deck" at 1,490 francs, which included Super Mario Bros., and the "Deluxe Set" at 1,790 francs, which included Gyromite (along with its Robot accessory) and Duck Hunt (along with its gray Zapper light gun). Twenty-seven games accompanied the launch, and a total of around thirty titles were available by Christmas 1987. In France, the console retailed for 1,490 francs—a price slightly higher than the $199.99 retail price set in the United States in 1985 (considering that in 1986, $1 was roughly equivalent to €0.80, making $199.99 approximately €160, or 1,050 francs in 1987). The price disparity between the NES and the Famicom was attributed to export costs and hardware differences between the two consoles."~fr.wikipedia [BMT🤖]
