On the Number 38
|
|
1)
|
38 is the sum of the squares of the first three prime numbers:
38 = 22 + 32 + 52 = 4 + 9 + 25
|
|
2)
|
38 = 2 x 19
38 = 8 + 9 + 10 + 11
In Hong Kong, 38 is a lucky number and car registration like 3838 are much in
demand from business people. In Cantonese the word for 3 is pronounced 'sam'
which is also the Cantonese word for life. Similarly, 8 is pronounced 'fa' which is
also the word for wealth. So lucky 38 should bring you a long and wealthy life.

38 can be written as the sum of two
odd numbers in 10 different ways:
38 = 1 + 37
= 3 + 35
= 5 + 33
= 7 + 31
= 9 + 39
= 11 + 27
= 13 + 25
= 15 + 23
= 17 + 21
= 19 + 19
Note each of the ten pairs of odd numbers contains
at least one prime number (shown in bold). Thus, 38
cannot be written as sum of 2 composite odd numbers.

38 Slots in American Roulette Wheel
Image Source: Wikimedia Commons
|
American Roulette Wheel has 38 numbers from 1-36 and two green pockets
numbered 0 (zero) and 00 (double zero). European roulette has 37 slots
with one 0 (zero). Roulette is a casino game named after a French diminutive
for little wheel. In the game, players may choose to place bets on either
a single number or a range of numbers, the colors red or black, or whether
the number is odd or even. To determine the winning number and color,
a croupier spins a wheel in one direction, then spins a ball in the opposite
direction around a tilted circular track running around the circumference
of the wheel. The ball eventually loses momentum and falls onto the wheel
and into one of 37 (in French/European roulette) or 38 (in American roulette)
colored and numbered pockets on the wheel. Cloth covered betting area on
a roulette table is known as the layout.

Colorado became the 38th state to join the Union
On August 1, 1876, Colorado became 38th state to join the Union
when President Ulysses Grant signed a proclamation of statehood.
President Andrew Johnson vetoed its first bid. Colorado is known
as the Centennial State because it won statehood the same year the
United States celebrated its centennial. The name Colorado came
from the belief at the time that the Colorado River originated there.
Colorado's motto: Nil sine numine
(Nothing without providence).
It is 8th largest & 22nd most populous of the 50 United States, with

and independently found by Le Gentil in 1749. M36 and M37, also discovered
by Hodierna, are grouped together with M38 at a distance of about 3,420 light
years away from Earth. The cluster's brightest stars form a pattern resembling
the Greek letter Pi or, according to Webb, an "oblique cross."

Psalms 38—

2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger;
neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long
9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

Verse 38 of Hua Hu Ching
Why scurry about looking for the truth? It vibrates in every thing and every not-thing,
right off the tip of your nose. Can you be still and see it in the mountain? the pine tree?
yourself? Don't imagine that you'll discover it by accumulating more knowledge. Knowledge
creates doubt, and doubt makes you ravenous for more knowledge. You can't get full eating
this way. The wise person dines on something more subtle: He eats the understanding that
the named was born from unnamed, that all being flows from non- being, that the describable
world emanates from an indescribable source. He finds this subtle truth inside his own self,
and becomes completely content. So who can be still and watch the chess game of the world?
The foolish are always making impulsive moves, but the wise know that victory and defeat
are decided by something more subtle. They see that something perfect exists before any move
is made. This subtle perfection deteriorates when artificial actions are taken, so be content
not to disturb the peace. Remain quiet. Discover the harmony in your own being. Embrace it.
If you can do this, you will gain everything, and the world will become healthy again.
If you can't, you will be lost in the shadows forever.

The Master does nothing,

The ordinary man is always doing things,
yet many more are left to be done.
Therefore the Master concerns himself
with the depths and not the surface,
with the fruit and not the flower.
He has no will of his own.
He dwells in reality,
and lets all illusions go.

The Chinese Zen Master Chao Chou
(Japanese: Joshu) (778-897) lived to
almost 120 years. He was enlightened by Nansen (745-835) at an early age,
then travelled throughout China, visiting prominent Chan masters to polish
his awakening. Finally, at the age of 80, settling in Guanyinyuan, a ruined
temple in northern China. There, for the next 40 years, he taught a small
group of monks. Joshu said: “If you are asked, 'What does Joshu teach?'
just say, 'When cold-cold, when hot-hot.'”

I said, "Humanity, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom are so called
because they express the qualities of the mind after the feelings are aroused."
The Teacher said, "Correct." On a later occasion I said, "Are the sense
of commiseration, the sense of shame and dislike, the sense of deference and compliance,
and the sense of right and wrong manifestations of man's nature?"
The Teacher said, "Humility, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom are also
manifestations. Nature is one. As physical form or body it is called nature. As master of
the creative process it is called the Lord. In its universal operation it is called destiny.
As endowment in man it is called man's nature. As master of man's body it is called the mind.
When it emanates from the mind we have filial piety when it is applied to the father, loyalty
when it is applied to the ruler, and so on to infinity. All this is only one nature. Similarly,
man is only one. He is called the son with respect to the father, or the father with respect to
the son, and so on to infinity. Man is only one. We must direct our effort to our nature. If we
distinctly understand what nature is, all ten thousand principles will become crystal clear."

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) wrote the Comedies:
Twelfth Night & All's Well That Ends Well (1602) at age 38.
Shakespeare invokes the 10th Muse in his Sonnet XXXVIII—
How can my muse want subject to invent,
While thou dost breathe, that pour'st into my verse
Thine own sweet argument, too excellent
For every vulgar paper to rehearse?
O! give thy self the thanks, if aught in me
Worthy perusal stand against thy sight;
For who's so dumb that cannot write to thee,
When thou thy self dost give invention light?
Be thou the tenth Muse, ten times more in worth
Than those old nine which rhymers invocate;
And he that calls on thee, let him bring forth
Eternal numbers to outlive long date.
If my slight muse do please these curious days,
The pain be mine, but thine shall be the praise.

Section 38 from Wei Wu Wei's Why Lazarus Laughed (1960)
The Three Known Dimensions are External: The Fourth is Within the Mind
Since there are no 'things' we nevertheless conceive of three directions
of measurement in order to measure our mind-created projections, but further
directions of measurement can only be conceived as within the mind itself.
Dimensions do not lie in a mind-made Universe,
but in the aspect of mind that seeks to interpret it.
So-called spiritual experience is the development of a further dimension in the mind.
By the cultivation of intuition this new direction of measurement is explored.
The Sages, the Masters, are men who are able to use
a further dimension of mind which is present in all of us.

William Harvey was a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians,
and personal physician to both King James I and Charles I. As a
medical pioneer William Harvey was the first person to give an
accurate explanation of how the heart functions and how blood
moves around the body. Harvey's theories were published in
An Anatomical Study of the Motion of the Heart and of the Blood in
Animals in 1628 (12 years later at age 50). Harvey had gone from
England to Padua, Italy, then the world center of medical research.
He gained his M.D. there at age 24 under
Hieronymus Fabricius,
a pioneering anatomist and surgeon, known in medical science as
"The Father of Embryology". After his death the William Harvey
Hospital was constructed in the town of Ashford, several miles
from his birthplace of Folkestone.

At Age 38— Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz publishes his Calculus (1684)

Gottfried Leibniz
(1646-1716)
Germany 360, 40 pf
issued 1926 |
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
(7/1/1646-11/14/1716) was a German polymathic genius,
scientist, mathematician and philosopher. He occupies a prominent place in the history
of mathematics and the history of philosophy. Most scholars believe Leibniz developed
calculus independently of Isaac Newton. Leibniz's notation
of the integral symbol has
been widely used ever since it was published (1684). He became one of the most prolific
inventors in the field of mechanical calculators. While working on adding automatic
multiplication and division to Pascal's calculator, he was the first to describe a
pinwheel
calculator in 1685 and invented the Leibniz wheel, used in the arithmometer, the first
mass-produced mechanical calculator.
In his last letter, Leibniz wrote to Czar Peter
the Great that the ancient Chinese wisdom book I Ching
with its 64 hexagrams composed
of yin & yang lines inspired him to
invent a new math—the binary numbers of 0 & 1,
which form the basis of computer technology. The I Ching's 64 hexagrams may be linked to
64 codons in DNA's genetic code (DNA and the I Ching,
I Ching & the Genetic Code,
Analogy,
Connection).
The only record of Descartes' Dreams of November 10, 1619
is in Leibniz's
handwriting at Hanover Library.

Johann Sebastian Bach
(3/21/1685-7/28/1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque
period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic & motivic
organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy
and France. Bach's compositions include Brandenburg Concertos, Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor,
two Passions, and over 300 sacred cantatas of which 190 survive. His music is revered for its technical
command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth. At age 38, Bach becomes music director at Thomas
School, Leipzig (April 22, 1723). This is the beginning of his major period in choral compositions—
almost the first item is the St. John Passion. He maintains this job for the rest of his life, dying at 65 in
Leipzig. Bach's devout relationship with the Christian God in the Lutheran tradition and the high
demand for religious music of his times placed sacred music at the centre of his repertory.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (6/28/1712-7/2/1778) was a Genevan philosopher,
writer, and composer
of the 18th century. His political philosophy influenced the French Revolution as well as overall
development of modern political, sociological, and educational thought. At 38, Rousseau enjoys
sudden overnight fame (1750)
on receiving a prize for an essay Discourse on the Arts and Sciences,
which attacks developments in art & science. Previously, he has to work in obscurity, supporting
himself as a waiter, secretary, and gigolo. Now, his self-evaluation (genius) is confirmed by the
outside world. About his "break" Rousseau later comments: "I surrendered myself completely and
unreservedly to the pleasure of savoring my glory." Rousseau opens his discourse with a quote in
Latin from Horace's On the Art of Poetry (l. 25): "We are deceived by the appearance of right." Voltaire's
"Poem on the Lisbon Earthquake" (1755)— "Lisbon is destroyed, and they dance in Paris!" elicited
Rousseau's "Letter to Voltaire" (August 18, 1756)—
"For me, I see everywhere that the misfortunes
nature imposes upon us are less cruel than those which we add to them." Rousseau's
Émile (1762)
served as the inspiration for what became a new national system of education during the French
Revolution. His The Social Contract (1762)
argued against the idea that monarchs were divinely
empowered to legislate; only the people, who are sovereign, have that all-powerful right. My
favorite work is Rousseau's Reveries of the Solitary Walker (1782)
translated by Peter French (1980).

Patrick Henry (5/29/1736-6/6/1799)
was an American attorney, planter & politician who became
known as an orator during the independence movement in Virginia in 1770s. A Founding Father,
he served as the 1st and 6th post-colonial Governor
of Virginia (1776-1779) & (1784-1786). Henry
led the opposition to the Stamp Act 1765.
He is best remembered for his "Give me liberty, or give
me death!" speech, on March 23, 1775, at 2nd Virginia Convention,
St. John's Church in Richmond,
Viginia. The 120 delegates included two future U.S. Presidents, George Washington and Thomas
Jefferson. Patrick Henry supported a militia against King George III, and, with his
fiery speech
swayed the vote— "Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace— but there is no peace. The war is actually begun!
The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren
are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have?
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty
God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

"one of the most bold, vehement and animated pieces of eloquence that had ever been delivered."

Italian Journey
by Wolfgang von Goethe
Penguin Classics (1992)
|
Five days before his 38th birthday (August 23, 1787),
Goethe had an epiphany by Michelangelo's Sistine Ceiling.
He writes to Herder on his 38th birthday (August 28, 1787)— "How wonderful it is to sow in order to reap!...
In the field
of natural history, I shall have things to show and tell you which will surprise you. I believe
I have come very close to
the truth about the how of the organism. I hope you will rejoice when
you hear about these manifestations of our God,
and you must tell me who, in ancient or more recent times,
has made similar discoveries or thought along the same lines.
Journal: February 22, 1788— I am cheerful and working hard, while I wait to see what the future
will bring. I realize more clearly every day that I was really born to be a poet, and that in the next
ten years, which are all, at most, which I shall be allowed to work in, I must cultivate this talent
and produce something good. The time when the fire of youth enabled me to accomplish things without
much study is now over; I shall have the benefits of my long sojourn in Rome to look back upon,
even though I shall have to give up practising the visual arts.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), Italian Journey (1786-1788), pp. 377, 472

At Age 38— Ralph Waldo Emerson publishes Essays (1841)
.jpg)
Ralph Waldo Emerson
(1803-1882) |
Ralph Waldo Emerson (5/25/1803-4/27/1882)
was an American essayist, lecturer, & poet, who led
the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century.
He was a champion of individualism and
prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through
dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. He wrote
most of his important essays as lectures first, then revised them for print.
Essays: First Series (1841)
was published at age 38. The book contains "History", "Self-Reliance", "Compensation", "Spiritual
Laws", "Love", "Friendship", "Prudence", "Heroism", "The Over-Soul", "Circles", "Intellect", and
"Art". Emerson's "Circles" opens with—
"The eye is the first circle; the horizon which it forms is the second;
and throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without end. It is the highest emblem in the cipher of
the world. St. Augustine described the nature of God as a circle whose centre was everywhere and its
circumference nowhere." Here are some web pages on Emerson's writings—
One Universal Mind;
Illumined by Nature;
One First Love;
Emerson's Journals;
Quotes
(Complete Works of Emerson).

At Age 38— Albert Schweitzer opens hospital in Africa (1913)
.jpg)
Gabon C1, 200 francs airmail stamp
issued on July 23, 1960 to honor
medical missionary Dr. Albert Schweitzer |
Dr. Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) was a German-French theologian, organist,
philosopher, physician, and medical missionary. He received the 1952
Nobel Peace
Prize for his philosophy of "Reverence for Life", expressed
in many ways, but most
famously in founding and sustaining the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné,
Gabon, west central Africa (1913). Schweitzer was busy at his hospital and did not
deliver his Nobel Peace Lecture until
two years later in Oslo on November 4, 1954.
Schweitzer is one of my early spiritual mentors. It is through him that I got to know
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who also inspired me greatly.
Schweitzer delivered the
Goethe Bicentennial Address
in Aspen, Colorado (July 6, 1949). In reading Norman
Cousins' biography Dr. Schweitzer of Lambaréné (1960),
I was surprised at Schweitzer's
humility saying that physicians don't heal their patients, but it's nature that is doing
the real healing with time (full text).

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980)
France B568 (issued Feb. 23, 1985)
|
Jean-Paul Sartre (6/21/1905-4/15/1980) was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, political activist, biographer, and literary critic. He was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism and phenomenology, and one of the leading figures in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism.
His work has also influenced sociology, critical theory, post-colonial theory, and literary studies, and continues to influence these disciplines.
Sartre has also been noted for his open relationship with the prominent feminist theorist Simone de Beauvoir.
At age 38, Sartre wrote
Being and Nothingness: An Essay on Phenomenological Ontology (1943).
His existentialism philosophy: "existence precedes essence in man,; man created God, so that we have to be responsible
for the state of the world"
Sartre was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature but refused it.
Dad's classmate at the Sorbonne.

At Age 38— Ayn Rand publishes The Fountainhead (1943)
.jpg)
Ayn Rand (1905-1980)
U.S. 3308, 33¢ stamp
(issued April 22, 1999)
|
Ayn Rand (2/2/1905-3/6/1982) was a Russian-American novelist,
philosopher, playwright, and screenwriter. She is known for her two best-selling novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged,
and for developing a philosophical system she called Objectivism. Born and educated in Russia, Rand moved to the United States in 1926.
She had a play produced on Broadway in 1935-1936. After two early novels that were initially unsuccessful in America, she achieved fame
with her 1943 novel, The Fountainhead at age 38.
The manuscript was rejected by twelve publishers before editor Archibald Ogden at the Bobbs-Merrill Company risked his job to get it published.
More than 6.5 million copies of the book have been sold worldwide. The Fountainhead's protagonist, Howard Roark, is an individualistic
young architect who chooses to struggle in obscurity rather than compromise his artistic and personal vision. The book follows his battle
to practice what the public sees as modern architecture, which he believes to be superior, despite an establishment centered on tradition-worship
The novel was made into a Hollywood film in 1949
(Film Trailer). Rand wrote the screenplay,
and Gary Cooper played Roark, who is Rand's embodiment of the human spirit, and his struggle represents the struggle between individualism and collectivism.

At Age 38— James Baldwin publishes The Fire Next Time (1963)

James Baldwin (1924-1987)
U.S. 3871, 37¢ stamp (issued July 23, 2004)
|
James Baldwin (8/2/1924-12/1/1987) was an American novelist,
essayist, playwright, poet, and social critic. His essays, as collected in Notes of a Native Son (1955), explore palpable yet
unspoken intricacies of racial, sexual, and class distinctions in Western societies, most notably in mid-20th-century America,
and their inevitable if unnameable tensions. Baldwin publishes
The Fire Next Time (1963) at age 38.
It contains two essays: "My Dungeon Shook— Letter to my Nephew on the One Hundredth Anniversary of Emancipation,"
and "Down At The Cross— Letter from a Region of My Mind." The book's title comes from the Negro spiritual line,
"God gave Noah the rainbow sign, no more water but fire next time". Stanford's
Another Look Book Club has selected James Baldwin's
The Fire Next Time for discussion on March 5, 2015.

Woodblock Print #38 from
100 Views of Edo
"Dawn Clouds at the Yoshiwara Licensed Quarter"
by Ando Hiroshige (1797-1858),
Brooklyn Museum
Hiroshige's Woodblock #38 inspired this haiku:
Lover departs at dawn
by the Omon gate next
to pink cherry blossoms.
Catalogue Description: Dawn in the Yoshiwara licensed quarter, at Sumicho,
the "corner district," which leads out into the central avenue of Nakanocho.
On the left is Omon Gate, the one point of entry and departure for visitors
to the Yoshiwara. In the center of the street, a lantern still glows and to
the left there are four figures, one of whom is the guest, his "cheek-cover
hood" (hokammuri-zukin) in place. An attendant to the rear with a lantern
stands in front of the guest. The courtesan wears a bright red overgarment
and raised black clogs that denote her high rank (she does not face the guest).
The cherry trees depicted here were a peculiar Yoshiwara custom. Each year
they were transplanted to a raised bed of soil along the main avenue in the
Yoshiwara quarter for the duration of their bloom and then removed.

Curt Schilling (b. Nov. 14, 1966)
is a former American Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher & former video game
developer. He helped lead the Philadelphia Phillies to the World Series in 1993 and won World Series championships in
2001 with Arizona Diamondbacks and in 2004 & 2007 with the Boston Red Sox. Schilling retired with a career postseason
record of 11-2. His .846 postseason winning percentage is a major-league record among pitchers with at least 10 decisions.
Best by Number selected Schilling's uniform 38 as the most worthy of all athletes who wore 38— "It wasn't until 2004, when
desperate Red Sox fans watched Schilling win 21 games, and his bloody sock bleed all over the damn Yankees. 38 became
a replica-jersey phenomenon. Boston fans certainly won't forget his gut-wrenching
ALCS effort that helped them end an
86-year World Series title jinx. After retiring, Schilling founded 38 Studios
that was not successful selling video games.
Todd Worrell (b. Sept. 28, 1959 )
is a retired professional baseball relief pitcher. He played all or part of eleven seasons in
MLB for St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers between 1985 and 1997.
His 9-10 record with 36 saves netted him
the 1986 National League Rookie of the Year Award.
His 1986 Donruss BB card notes he had 73 strikeouts and 41 walks,
with an ERA of 2.08. Worrell became the first relief pitcher to save 30 or more games in each of his first three full seasons.
Víctor Zambrano (b. Aug. 6, 1975) is a former professional baseball player.
A right-handed pitcher, he played all or part
of seven seasons in MLB from 2001-2007. His
career record
was 45-44 with 4.64 ERA, 529 strikeouts, and 404 walks.
Carlos Zambrano (b. June 1, 1981) nicknamed "Big Z" or "El Toro",
is a former Venezuelan professional baseball pitcher.
He played in Major League Baseball from 2001 to 2012 for the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins.
Pitched a no-hitter on
September 14, 2008. His 23 home runs are the most ever by a Cubs pitcher.
In 2006, he became first Venezuelan player
to lead National League in wins (16). He has a
career record
of 132-91, with 3.66 ERA, 1637 strikeouts, and 898 walks.
Fast Facts: Two non-related Venezuelan right-handers, Víctor Zambrano
of the Mets and Carlos Zambrano of the Cubs,
both wearing No. 38 when they faced
each other in August 2005. (New York Daily News:
Victor Zambrano outdueled
Carlos Zambrano at Shea Stadium, pitching the Mets to a 6-1 win and a sweep of the three-game series on August 7, 2005).
Fast Facts: No team in Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association
or the National Hockey League has retired uniform No. 38. ("Fast Facts" Source: Best by Number, 2006, p. 123)
