spike -> Excel

Read some medical magazines for my wife and our second. On the left an article about corona variants and spike proteins. On the right a warning that thousands or millions of medical papers were ruined by using Excel.

Excel reads genoms and changes their names unasked if they look like a date.

MARCH1 — short for “Membrane Associated Ring-CH-Type Finger 1” — Excel converts that into a date: 1-Mar.

Luckily our second learned 'R' with 14.

reward -> love

John Maynard, German ballade, 'For us he died and as reward our love'

Quote

A paddle-wheel steamer in flames
on Lake Erie – hundreds of passen-
gers in mortal danger – the safety
of the shore still far off: Ask a German
man, woman or child if these fragmentary
images ring a bell, and their likely answer
will be the name John Maynard.
“Who is John Maynard?
John Maynard, he was our helmsman
who ...”
Thus begins one of the most famous bal-
lads in German literature. Upon hearing
these first lines, Germans can immediately
conjure the drama before their eyes – a ship
in flames, smoke everywhere and a brave
man remaining at the helm to guide the
steamer to the shore – “Still ten minutes to
Buffalo.”
This heroic story in verse remains one
of the most memorable works of German
poetry, and is still read and discussed in
schools. Perhaps this year more than usual,
as it marks the bicentennial of the birth of
its creator, Theodor Fontane (1819-1898),
in the Brandenburg town of Neuruppin,
just north of Berlin. Commemorations are
planned throughout Germany, but perticu-
larly in Berlin and Brandenburg, providing
an occasion to recall the life and work of
the writer considered the foremost figure of
19th-century German realism.
