All of my adult life because of a combination of kids, cats, and poorly placed windows, I've been severely limited in my ability to grow plants indoors. First I had an apartment, with little room, and I didn't know as much then as I do now. I had a patio garden and some hanging pots of pothos near my patio sliding door, but not much else.
Then I had a house, and I gardened the hell out of that house. Most of the pictures on my blog are from that house, but it was outdoor gardening. It did not have a single south-facing window, not a single one. No deep window sills for plants. We did an addition off the back and I had a deep window sill added there, but it was just one, and not big enough for a large potted plant, 8-inch pots tops. I lived there for 13 years.
Then we moved to Tennessee and lived in a rental a couple of years while we built. I had a few more windows and more natural light but with a baby and the cats and the transient nature of the place, I didn't do much.
But now, now I have my forever home, that I designed… and while in some sections of the house I intentionally do not have many windows, in others I do, huge windows, deep window sills, a greenhouse, and…. in the middle of the house…. over the stairs…. a skylight. And not just any skylight, a 22×11 skylight. This thing is a beast of natural light, it filters down to the first floor. 30 feet-ish below the skylight apex I have my amorphophallus titanum in a small pot, the cats and kids don't bother it though I worry. More like 35-40 ish feet below the skylight and off to the side I have a ginger lily doing fine with just that filtered light.
The potential for me to grow around this stairwell under the skylight is very high and stratified. Shade plants do well on the bottom levels, but sun lovers can do well at the top because the third floor right under the skylight is super bright and gets a good quantity of direct sunlight. There is a spot or two where a large potted tropical tree would go nicely, but I need the pot and the tree, and to be fully moved in and not unpacking and whatnot. It will take me a while to fully take advantage of all the great locations for me to grow in this house… and I haven't even mentioned the greenhouse.
I love the idea of beautiful fragrant flowers growing indoors, having little experience with indoor plants thus far I know I have learning to do. I want to explore trying to grow Gardenias as I hear they are very fragrant, but finicky indoors, so I say trying. Right now though I am working on morning glories.
So a stairwell has a lot of vertical height right? What better place for a trailing vine plant? I've always loved the classic morning glory appearance so I am growing those, and it works. Some years ago my parents got me a nice copper planter, a 4′ window box, and I never had anywhere to put it. I tried at one point to mount it on my old house but turns out my house sheathing at that place wasn't strong enough to support the box. Then I realized, you know? I could put it indoors on my railing around the stairwell, and what a great place for growing morning glory.
So, I did this. And I've proved it'll work I have some morning glories potted and blooming, even though I've been barely watering them (apparently they tolerate drought well, who knew). I've been barely watering them because apparently the window box leaks so a couple of days ago I had to de-pot everything, clean the box out, and apply FlexSeal to hopefully make it watertight (it was dripping down on to my stairs every time I watered). A window box with a tray would be better, but that is not what I have.
I am excited that it worked though. I can just envision in a couple of months having a very healthy drape of morning glory showing off in my central stairwell. Now I just need to think what else I want to plant, ideally something fragrant.

Coronavirus Data Hub FAQ: What you should know about our COVID-19 dataset
We've pulled together a Coronavirus Data Hub FAQ. Learn how to familiarize yourself with the data before you start your analysis.
Jeremy Blaney
VP Customer Success, Lovelytics
Editor's note: Since published, we've updated the data source to make sure everyone has uninterrupted access to the latest data. Learn more about the latest data source.
The Tableau COVID-19 Data Hub contains resources to help you visualize and analyze the most recent data on the coronavirus outbreak. On the hub, we've created a jumpstart workbook, pre-loaded with COVID-19 case data, that anyone can download and use for their analysis. We want to make sure that you're fully informed about the data you'll be working with on the hub. Below, we've compiled answers to some key questions about the data. We know this situation is changing rapidly, so as the data and questions change, we will update our answers accordingly.
Where is the dashboard data coming from?
The data comes from the dataset maintained and updated by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering. Tableau cleans, reshapes, and makes this data ready for your analysis.
What is included in the dataset?
The data represent a point-in-time snapshot of to-date totals of confirmed cases and total deaths.
Here are the fields included:
Case_type: Confirmed Cases and total deaths
Cases: Point in time snapshot of to-date totals (i.e., Mar 22 is inclusive of all prior dates)
Date: Jan 23, 2020 - Present
Country_region: Provided for all countries
Province_state: Provided for Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States
Admin2: US only - County name
FIPS: US only - 5-digit Federal Information Processing Standard
Combined_Key: US only - Combination of Admin 2, State_Province, and Country_Region
Table Names: The Table Name identifies the specific Johns Hopkins datasets that were used:
JHU Timeseries - All data is sourced from the current JHU Global Timeseries dataset, provided to the public once per day
How often is the data updated?
The data from Johns Hopkins is updated at approximately 7 p.m. PST.
What formats is the data available in?
The data is available in a few different formats:
.Hyper File:
Available for direct download.
Refreshed daily by 10 p.m. PST.
The COVID-19 .hyper format takes advantage of the improved data engine, which supports faster analytical and query performance for larger data sets. It is provided for current Tableau customers and can be downloaded on demand from the data.world COVID-19 Data Hub.
CSV File:
Available through Web Data Connector
Google Sheet:
Link available here.
Note: Google Sheets may experience periodic outages during times of peak usage.
For more information, visit our Tableau Community Forum.
What range of dates does the data show?
The data captures case numbers for every day from January 23, 2020 to the present day.
How is the data sorted geographically?
Every country and region is represented in the data. For the following countries, data is provided at the province or state level: Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States.
For the United States, data is also provided at the county level. We started displaying county-level data on March 26, and it is available from March 23 onward. Due to this relatively recent change in the level of detail provided, the "Difference" field has been appears as a null value—we are working through this issue.
I noticed that data on recovered cases is no longer available. Why is that?
On March 24, JHU stopped providing data on recovered cases due to a lack of confidence in the data. This means that we're no longer able to differentiate between active and recovered cases in the total case data, so we have removed those values from the dataset. This is a permanent change.
I saw guidance on the COVID-19 Data Hub about "vizzing responsibly." What does this mean and where can I learn more?
In making these data resources available to the public for analysis, we want to make sure we're advocating best practices—from the perspective of data visualization, and from the perspective of public health. This also means advocating for the idea of "flattening the curve"—the spike in the number of cases. We believe that this should be the goal of data visualizations representing COVID-19, as that's what's needed right now from a public health perspective. For more information, read this helpful blog post by Amanda Makulec, a masters of public health and data visualization expert who is consulting with Tableau on the COVID-19 Data Hub project.

Birth of Marine Corps Aviation
by Sgt Wyble USMC (Ret) | Feb 25, 2020 | Dog House Blog, Marine Corps History | 2 comments
The Birth of Marine Corps Aviation
Alfred A. Cunningham, the father of Marine Corps Aviation
The birth of Marine Corps Aviation started with Alfred A. Cunningham. Without his passion for aviation the Marine Corps would have never seen funding for it. Alfred A. Cunningham's love for aviation began while watching a balloon ascent in 1903. That same year he made his own personal balloon ascent. He was an air enthusiast from then on until his death in May 27, 1939.
Alfred A. Cunningham fathered Marine Corps Aviation through his his intense passion for the air. He knew that his best chance to fly was by joining the military. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps on January 25, 1909. At this period of time aviation was in its infancy. The Wright brothers had only taken flight six years prior on December 17, 1903. There was a lot of work to do to lobbying the Department of the Navy to allocate funds and resources.
A.A. Cunningham poses next to WWI biplane
Stationed at the Philadelphia Naval Yard 1911, Lt. Cunningham retained his interest in flight. He joined a group of fellow flight enthusiast in the city called the Aero Club. He was able to meet with a civilian aviator there that leased their plane to him for $25 a month. Alfred A. Cunningham retained the permission of the Commandant of the Navy Yard to use the field there to conduct test flights. Unfortunately, the plane never took to the air.
WWI Marine Corps Aviation recruiting poster
Alfred A. Cunningham's passion for flight did not go unnoticed. He was able to establish many friends in the Aero Club that had connections in Washington. They began to put pressure on former Commandant William Biddle to develop a Marine Air Wing. Lt. Cunningham checked in to aviation school at the United States Naval Academy Annapolis on May 22, 1912. This is formally regarded as the birth of Marine Corps Aviation. However, the very first Marine Corps Air-Wing was not established until July 7, 1941. The Wing was based out of Quantico, Virginia. When World War II broke out the 1st Marine Air-Wing took part in the battle of Guadalcanal. Based out of Henderson Field the 1st Marine Air-Wing was essential support for the Marines on the ground.
AA Cunningham's Legacy
Alfred A. Cunningham's contribution to Marine Corps Aviation is so profound that he has etched his way into aviation history. In 1965 A.A. Cunningham was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame. He also has a Naval vessel named after him. The USS Alfred A. Cunningham (DD-752)
Without air power the Marine Corps Hymn would never say "In the Air, on Land, and Sea." Marine Corps aviators have always been at the forefront of major operations post WWII. Having aircraft in the Marine Corps expands our role as an expeditionary force in readiness. Yet without motivators like A.A. Cunningham that would not be possible.
So today on May 27th, Devil Dog Shirts would love to pay homage to a Marine Corps legend. Alfred A. Cunningham. The founder of Marine Corps Aviation! Semper Fi!

Health workers to vote on pensions
Almost half a million health workers have planned to vote on the Government's controversial public sector pension reforms, with rejection leading to the prospect of fresh industrial action.
Unison said its 450,000 NHS members, including nurses, therapists, paramedics, cooks, cleaners and porters, will vote in the coming weeks on whether to accept proposals for a new pension scheme.
Christina McAnea, Unison's head of health, said: "The union will be giving full and open information on what it will mean for individual members' pensions, so they are in the best position to make an informed decision.
"We are still disappointed that the proposals don't meet all our aspirations for health workers, particularly around the retirement age, but the ballot papers will also recognise that rejecting the offer would require members to take further industrial action.
"We have given a commitment from day one that it is for our members to decide and we are keeping to that commitment. This is a massive consultation exercise, far bigger than any other in the trade union movement."
Unison said the proposals maintained a defined benefit scheme with a move towards career average in 2015 while health workers earning less than £26,000 a year will not see an increase in their pension payments this year.
Unison took part in last year's huge strike by more than one-and-a-half million workers.
The National Union of Teachers said it will be debating a priority motion on pensions at its Easter conference next month.
The union also took part in last year's walkout, and its London members are due to stage a one-day strike next Wednesday as part of the NUT's continued campaign against the Government's pension plans.
NUT general secretary Christine Blower said the wording of the motion had not yet been decided. She said: "Clearly what it will be about is how we maintain momentum of a campaign which is, necessarily, a longish campaign, and what the milestones in that campaign are."


The trial of Swedish Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm Warg and a 21-year-old Danish man will enter "virgin territory" as nothing of its type and scope has been seen in Denmark before.
The largest hacking case in Danish history will begin its final stage on Tuesday when Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm Warg and his 21-year-old Danish codefendant appear in Frederiksberg Court.
The two men are accused of stealing social security numbers from Denmark's national driving licence database, illegally accessing information in a Schengen Region database and hacking into police email accounts.
Svartholm Warg's mother told The Local on Monday that while her son was "basically doing fine", she was upset that he has been living in isolation since November 2013.
"He's just been alone, with no one to talk to and nothing to do except watch DVDs and listen to music," Kristina Svartholm Warg explained.
"In fact, he had to hire his own TV because they said they couldn't afford to give him one of his own."
She previously compared his supervision to "torture" in an interview with The Local in December.
While her son and his co-defendant were initially told they'd be allowed to meet once a week, she said prison officials claimed they didn't have the resources to supervise the visits and cut them down to once a fortnight.
"There's also a huge problem with the Danish rules in that he's not allowed to look at any of the documents unless he's with his lawyer," she added. "It's all very strange, very peculiar."
While Svartholm Warg is something of a celebrity in the 'hactivist' milieu and has been the focus of online campaigns protesting his imprisonment and treatment in Denmark, little has been publicly said by or about his unnamed Danish co-defendant.
But the Dane's lawyer says that will all change when the trial gets underway.
"I have advised him to not give any explanations before the case comes before a court. It will now, and therefore he wants to speak out," Michael Juul Eriksen told Ritzau.
All court appearances have thus far taken place behind closed doors, but the release of the indictment last month revealed that the two men are being officially charged with disrupting information systems, obtaining trade secrets and causing malicious damage.
"We are in virgin territory because there is nothing in Denmark's legal history that is remotely similar in scope to this case," deputy attorney general Anders Riisager told Ritzau.
Seventeen witnesses have been called to testify at the trial, the majority of them on behalf of the prosecution.
The website TorrentFreak obtained a witness summons sent to a man identified only as 'John', a former colleague of Warg who lives in Cambodia. John told Danish authorities that he found Warg's treatment in the Danish prison system – which included being held in solitary confinement – "utterly troubling" and thus won't show up to testify.
"I am deeply concerned about the prospect of being a part of something that is so clearly unethical if not outright illegal. Is there some sort of legal equivalent of being a conscientious objector to trials? If so, I would consider myself a conscientious objector to this one, the whole thing disgusts me whether he committed the crime or not," John wrote in an email exchange with Danish police, according to TorrentFreak.
Warg has been held in a Danish prison since being extradited from Sweden in November 2013, while the 21-year-old Dane has been in police custody since June 2013. Both defendants have pleaded not guilty. The trial is expected to last through October.


I would argue that the will to become a better person and a better partner may be the most desirable asset anyone can bring to a marriage. However, starting out as or striving to become the "perfect" partner is neither possible nor desirable. In fact, strong perfectionist traits usually prevent healthy relationship formation.
Along these lines, partners of perfectionist individuals often comment on their partner's emotional unavailability. It is very hard for a perfectionist to share his or her internal experience with a partner. Perfectionists often feel that they must always be strong and incontrol of their emotions. A perfectionist may avoid talking about personal fears, inadequacies, insecurities, and disappointments with others, even with those with whom they are closest. Naturally, this greatly limits emotional intimacy in a marriage.
Perfectionist individuals can also be fiercely competitive, even with their partners. Feelings of inadequacy may set the stage for downward social comparison within their own homes ("at least I'm more successful than my wife is"). Celebrating the victories of a spouse may be especially hard if such success threatens a perfectionist partner's sense of being "the more competent partner" in the relationship.
Giving and receiving feedback about the impact we have on each other calls for unconditional self-esteem that does not over-depend on others' evaluations of us. The self-esteem we derive from living a life consistent with our deepest values gives us the emotional freedom to learn and grow without fearing the shame of rejection. Striving for perfection leaves us empty and unstable, foundering like ships without anchors in a turbulent ocean.

The Best 7 Perfect Historical Leaders Based on Europa Universalis IV's Standard
List of best historical rulers from 1444 to 1821 according to Europa Universalis 4.
by StratGamer48
Europa Universalis IV is a grand strategy game that features historical events and people. Its developer, Paradox Interactive, is doing their best to simulate global history from 1444 to 1821. Within these 377 years, there were many great rulers and generals from different parts of the world who rose to power. In game, Paradox gave historical rulers stats with 0 being the lowest to 6 being the highest based on their administrative, diplomatic and military performance. If a ruler has 6 monarch points in all three skills, it means the ruler is perfect in all perspectives. Technology research will be faster if rulers have higher monarch points.
There are seven "perfect rulers" throughout the whole game. As all of them are "perfect rulers", I ranked them on their availability in game and their fixed military stat for firing, shocking, maneuver and siege, which are rated by their performance in historical battles. I will refer to them as the "four military stats" in the list below.
7. Mori Takachika
Takachika is the Daimyo of the Mori Clan in1837. In that period, the Tokogawa Shogunate were facing imperialist threats from the Western world. At first, he was loyal to the emperor and tried to expel foreign imperialists and let Japan stay in isolation. However, it resulted in defeat at Shimonoseki. Afterward, he proposed to westernize and became a major player in the Meiji Restoration.
Takachika is only playable if players modified the timeline in game. Even though he is playable, it isn't until the very end of the game and he can hardly be used, hence the reason I put him in last place.

6. Noriaki Uesugi
Noriaki is the Daimyo of the Uesugi Clan. He is the shogunate who united Japan from the Nanboku-Cho, a period of time when there were two imperial courts rivaling each other and claimed to be emperor of Japan. They were the Northern Imperial Court of Ashikaga Takauji in Kyoto, and a Southern Imperial Court of Emperor Go-Daigo in Yoshino. In 1392, the southern court declined being united by Noriaki. Later, he started a centralization reform and eventually held more power than the Takauji.
Unlike Takachika, Noriaki's timeline is placed before the game starts. If players modified the timeline, they still can use Noriaki until his death. At the same time, neither of them are playable without modification.

5. Pyotr I Veliky
Known as Peter the Great, Peter is the Russian Tsar who studied shipbuilding in the Netherlands at a young age and initiated a revolution against the traditionalist and westernization of Russia. Also, he won the Great Northern War, which resulted in the rise of the Russian Empire and the decline of Sweden and Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth after claiming Baltic ports from Sweden.
Peter is actually a playable "perfect ruler" in 1682. Because he lacks a fixed military stat, he is ranked after the following Top 4.
Portrait of Peter the Great
4. Henry VI
Known as "Henry the Great" and "Good King Henry", Henry VI rebuilt France after destruction from the French War of Religion. In the administration, he promoted education, agriculture, and expeditions to Canada. Nevertheless, he is known for his benevolence and love for his subjects. He is one of the few kings loved by the people during the French Revolution.
Henry VI is a playable French king in 1589 and has a 4,4,2,0 in the four military stats. With such stats, he definitely is able to "make France great again" after the French War of Religion.

3. Akbar I
Similar to Good King Henry, Akbar the Great is Known for his expansion of the Mughal Empire, religious tolerance and a centralized taxing system on military and subjects. Akbar also rewarded his officials based on merit instead of ethnic and religion background. He conquered most of neighboring powers during his military campaigns.
Akbar has a military stat of 4,4,2,2. He is evenly matched as Henry IV, but as he conquered other neighboring factions, a 2 in siege is given by Paradox.
Drawing of Akbar the Great
2. Gustav II Adolf
Gustav is one of the best generals in the list as he innovated new formations and weapons for the Swedish army. In the Thirty Year War, the Protestant League usually referred to him as "Lion of the North" since he defeated Catholic armies multiple times. One of the notable examples would be the Battle of Breitenfeld in which he defeated a much larger Catholic army. As a result of the battle, German Protestant states ensured their freedom of religion not being prosecuted by the Catholic Church. In the same time, Sweden became a strong and influential power in Europe.
Gustav's excellent performance in the the Thirty Year War led Paradox to give him a 6,5,6,1 in military stats.

1. Frederick the Great
Frederick's reign is an example of Enlightened Absolutism. As a monarch, he modernized the Prussian bureaucracy, civil service and encouraged religious tolerance. Similar to Gustav, his achievements in the military are more famous than administration. Frederick led Prussia to win the Seven Year War, which historian argue is the first world war as European colonies and natives were fighting as well. In North America, it is known as the French-Indian War. Although he did not make Prussia as strong as great powers like Great Britain and France after the Seven Year War, Prussia was able to maintain their state of existence before entering the war.
Paradox rated Frederick 6,6,6,1. It means he is the most prominent general in the battlefield within this list.

Almost made it to the list
There are more great leaders in this period of time other than the seven I listed above. Perhaps they had some "flaws" in their political life, so Paradox did not rate them with 6s across the board. However, they are indeed great leaders in history. Here is list of "Almost Perfect Historical Leaders Based on EU4 Standard" and their major achievements:
Gjergj Skanderberg, (6,5,6) Albania, 1443, defended Albania from Ottoman invasion for 20 years
Elizabeth I, (6,6,5) England. 1558, economic reform, defeated Spanish Armada and united religion in England
Minjo, Kaffa, (6,5,6) 1390, founder of Kaffa, first to innovate a method for roasting coffee
Ang Chan I, Khmer, (5,6,6) 1516, defended Khmer from Siam and conquered land from it
Zhu Di, Ming, (5,6,6) 1402, won succession war at Jingnan Campaign, conquest of Vietnam, defeated Northern Yuan and initiated treasure voyages
Ismail, Morocco, (6,5,6), 1672, defeated Ottoman invasion and stayed independent, reconquered North African port cities from Spain
Abbas I, Persia, (6,5,6), 1587, military reform and reconquered lost territories from Uzbek, Ottoman, Portuguese and Mughal
Catherine the Great, Russia, (6,6,5), 1762, conquered Polish-Lithuanian, Persian and Ottoman territories, patron of art, literature and education, and issued paper money
Suleiman the Magnificent, Ottoman, (6,5,6), 1520, conquered Persian, North African, European and Arabian territories, reformed education, taxation and criminal law

At first glance, Livorno is by no means one of the most picturesque Tuscan cities, for tt is a modern port city with a lot of industrial activity, and it does not have an evocative medieval heart. The city is is spread across a series of rocky out-croppings, quite unlike the wide, sandy beaches that one will find to its north and south. But the city is historically interesting and has its delights, including great seafood.
Livorno, sometimes called Leghorn by the English, is the third largest port on the Tyrrhenian Sea coast of Italy, after Genoa to the north and Naples to the south. Historical documents refer to a cathedral that was built here in about 891 AD, but until the 15th century, it was a small fishing village and port of very little consequence. The main Tuscan port at this time was Porta Pisa a little to the north and further inland along the Arno River. Livorno's status and fortunes changed when the Medici rulers of Florence made it the principle Mediterranean port for Tuscany.
Livorno's harbor is irregularly shaped, and a number of canals penetrate deeply into the old part of the city, a kind of ersatz Venice, but with a charm all its own and not one at all reminiscent of that other, older city. Indeed, the heart of the city is called Venezia Nuova, or Porto Mediceo, which was built in the 16th century under orders from the Medici, Cosimo I, Grand Duke of the Duchy of Florence.
The harbor, canals, waterside fortress - the Fortezza Vecchio - and the centro storico were laid-out and built to a comprehensive design done by Bernardo Buontelenti who had much of the building work done by Venetian craftsmen. The fortress was designed by Antonio de Sangalla, and incorporates an older Pisan fort, an 11th century tower, which pokes out the top, and a Roman castrum.
Architectural treasures are few and far between. The bronze statue called the Quattro Mori - statue of the Four Moors - dating to 1595 is of special interest. Four Moorish slaves writhe in their chains beneath Ferdinand I who stands above. The Duomo, originally built in 1587, then rebuilt after World War II, is not ugly, but not particularly beautiful either. Of more importance historically is the Jewish Synagogue dating back to the early 17th century.
Not surprisingly, many of the buildings built in the 16th century were done in a post-Renaissance style. The city core is surrounded by the Fosso Reale canal which is bridged on the east side by a high vaulted bridge called the Voltone, upon which rests the Piazza della Repubblica. The popular, if down at heels, Fortezza Nuova sits on its north side.
Leading out of the Piazza della Repubblica, the via Grande passes via Madonna, where one finds the facades of three Baroque churches, and leads to the Piazza Grande, fronted by the Duomo, the building of which started in 1587. It was badly damaged during WW II, but rebuilt. The Piazza has been intersected by a modern building, which one must go around in order to get to the rest of the Piazza, where one will find the 17th century Palazzo di Camera and the Palazzo Municipio, with its double sided staircases, built in 1720.
Ocean going cargo vessels, cruise ships, ferries and other larger craft sit with an industrial brutishness in the port area, loading or unloading their human and non human cargoes, but colorful small boats and private yachts bob in the waters along the landings closer to shore, and in the canals, virtually all of which are still navigable. One of these canals, not in use now, connects Livorno to Pisa.
The shoreline promenade, extends for many kilometers, incorporating a number of humped-back bridges over the canals. The promenade passes in front of a number of imposing 19th century buildings, many constructed in the Liberty style - an Italian variation of the French Art Nouveau style. In many places the oleander, pine trees and tamarisks offer a lush, green, and fragrant counterpoint to both the city and the sea.
Along the waterside are a number of bathing establishments, most built in the 19th century. Some of these are impressively built over the water on pylons. Proceeding south, one finally encounters a tiny beach, the Spiaggia della Bellana, then a black and white tiled terrace called the Terrazzo del Mascagni, which offers vistas of the harbor, and the Tuscan archipelago, which includes the islands of Elba, Capraia, and Gorgona. On a clear day one can see Corsica, birth place of Napoleon, now a French possession. Near the Terrazzo is the Municipal Aquarium where one will find a plethora of local and exotic fish and other marine life.
Also in the south end is the Museo Civico Giovanni Fattori, a contemporary art museum housed in the Liberty style Villa Mimbelli, which is surrounded by a lovely public park on via Jacopo. The collection contains a large selection of works from artists of the so called Macchiaioli movement, an Italian take on French impressionism. One of its greatest members, Giovanni Fattori, was born in Livorno in 1825.
Ferdinand I, then Grand Duke of Tuscany, made Livorno a free port in 1618, inviting all comers to use it as a trading base. The Jews, much persecuted throughout Europe and elsewhere, established a large "colony" here. English Catholic exiles also settled in Livorno and it was they who gave it its English name, Leghorn.
In 1691, Ferdinand II, Grand Duke of Tuscany, after the British and French navies bombarded the Dutch who were stationed in Livorno, declared Livorno to be a neutral port by International treaty. The treaty was violated by Napoleon who established a blockade.
Livorno endured declining importance, and a great deal of strife, particularly during the Risorgimento when it largely sided, against the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, with the forces trying to achieve Italian unification and independence, which was finally accomplished in 1860. The port filled important naval functions in the two world wars, and suffered immense damage in the second world war as a result of Allied bombing.
Livorno regained its importance as a commercial port when new port facilities were constructed in 1954. It is now being discovered by travelers and tourists who are beginning to understand that the the city in its entirety, like Genoa say, is of interest, even if it lacks the significant individual attractions one finds in scores of other Italian towns and cities.

Welcome Back to the 2014-2015 school year!
are some reminders of the different overall "school" procedures.
Our school day starts with our warning bell at 7:25 a.m. It is the expectation that students are in their classrooms by 7:30 a.m., ready for the day. If you are transporting your child to school in the morning, please arrive in plenty of time so that your child will be in his/her classroom, ready to learn, at 7:30 a.m. The bus loop is closed from 7:10-7:40 a.m. to allow for the busses to have easy drop-off and pick-up.
Since our students go out to recess, love climbing on our playground equipment, and are active in kickball, tag, and other movement games, students should not wear flip-flops to school. It is written in our student handbook, which was sent home this week. We want our students to be both active, and safe as they move around our entire school. Students will have physical education classes on either Monday or Tuesday; on those days, students should be wearing sneakers.
If your child is absent or is going to be tardy to school, please call the main office in the morning to let us know.
Please check your child's backpack each night, as there are important papers that come home, along with homework assignments and "Just Right Books".
As mosquito season does not end until late October, please remember to apply bug spray before your child leaves the house. Since we don't have a gymnasium, PE classes are held outside until the weather gets too cold (usually around Thanksgiving). When dressing in the morning, please try to dress in layers.
Research says that keeping hydrated is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, and helps in learning. Students may have water bottles (with only water in them) on their desks throughout the day. If this is something you would like to do, please put your child's name in permanent marker on the water bottle and it can stay at school.
Many times, students will leave pieces of clothing or items behind throughout the school. It would be helpful if families would initial or write a name in those items that tend to be left-behind (sweatshirts, jackets, hats, gloves).
Please send in a note with your child if there is a change in his/her daily "dismissal" routine.

• Due to the weather, the NHCS and DES afterschool programs are canceled.


While bad breath can usually be avoided through good oral hygiene habits like brushing twice a day and flossing daily, sometimes, bad breath can be a chronic issue. The medical term for this is halitosis, and it may be the result of an underlying issue.
Bad breath normally originates in the back of the mouth when foul-smelling bacteria build up on the back of the tongue. This is a common occurrence for people in the morning, and is referred to as "morning breath." Saliva is beneficial for washing away food particles and foul-smelling odors, but your mouth typically dries at night while you sleep. Proper brushing, flossing, and even mouthwash can help eliminate this bad breath, but there are cases when bad breath can linger and become chronic.
Treatment for halitosis depends on the source of the bad breath. It may be something as simple as a professional cleaning, or it may require a special deep cleaning known as scaling and root planing. Either way, we will work to find out the source of the issue first, and then treat it appropriately. If it is something outside of your oral health, we will refer you to a physician.
For more information on halitosis or possible causes, please give our dental office a call. You can reach us at (972) 371-0747 to schedule your appointment today.

The investigation and pursuit of a possible medical negligence claim is a very complicated matter. It is usually very expensive to pursue a medical negligence claim to hearing in a court. The only way to find out whether a medical negligence claim is worth pursuing is to consult an experienced solicitor. Patient counselling services may help with communication problems with a doctor and may help with anger or frustration following an unsuccessful medical procedure, but only a solicitor can help a person decide whether to pursue a claim. When choosing a solicitor, ask the solicitor whether he or she has experience in medical negligence claims. The Law Society of South Australia can provide referrals to solicitors practising in this field.
Very often, the solicitor cannot tell at the outset whether the claim will succeed. He or she may have to obtain copies of medical records, and opinions from one or more experts, before any definitive advice can be given. This means that it can cost hundreds of dollars just to obtain a definite opinion about the chances of success of the case. Many medical cases are not clear cut, and even if advised that there is a strong case there can be no guarantee of success.

Change 21 () was a parliamentary group for the congressional term of 2016 to 2021 in the Congress of Peru. The group was introduced on 20 March 2018, led by then-congressman Kenji Fujimori, and was formally recognized on 19 December of the same year by the President of Congress Daniel Salaverry. Its members are former members of Popular Force. The parliamentary group was disbanded following the dissolution of the Congress on 30 September 2019 by President Martin Vizcarra.

History
On 21 December 2017, proposals to impeach President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski reached the floor of Congress. Ultimately, the proposal to impeach the president failed as 10 members of the majority opposition party Popular Force voted against removing Kuczynski from the presidency. On 31 December 2017, the party's Disciplinary Committee recommended dismissing the ten members from Popular Force. On 1 March 2018, following dismissal from the party, Kenji Fujimori resigned from the leadership of the Fujimorist faction, changing moving towards a more progressive and liberal agenda. Later in January, Fujimori informally nicknamed his group as the Avengers, a reference to the fictional film Avengers: Infinity War. On 20 March, the informal group announced the creation of the political faction Cambio 21 with plans to become an official political party with the incarcerated former president Alberto Fujimori as leader.

On 19 December, the President of Congress Daniel Salaverry formally recognized the faction.

Congressional members
Current congressional members of Change 21 are former members of Popular Force: Estelita Bustos, Maritza García, Clayton Galván, Marvin Palma, Luis Yika, Yesenia Ponce, Roberto Vieira and Lizbeth Robles.

Guillermo Bocángel, Bienvenido Ramírez and Kenji Fujimori were suspended from Congress before the formal recognition of Change 21 as a congressional faction.

Work is worship: As a worldwide fact, a human who focuses on work, considering it as worship and helps others in settling down their career and life in parallel, is respected and accepted sooner or later, directly or indirectly as utmost and best social and trustworthy person of village. It is believed that such person (male or female) not only sets own life but got a publically endorsed social stalwart status. That is why working as worship with social welfare dedication counted as most desirable life style in Nidana.
Lineage system: People deeply believe in their blood-relation and forefathers hierarchy, consequently there are various "Paanna", "Dhoong", "Tholaa" and "Bagad" defined chronically in local system. For an in detail understanding of lineage system please refer to "Social Panchayats" section.
Farmers and laborers of the village are innocent and honest to their work and behavior.
If you do contractual agriculture and by chance your crop was lost due to hailstorm, draught, flood or any other climatic tragedy, in that case land owner usually leave their share/contracted money amount for that season so that it could help you in overcoming from the grip of already facing climatic tragedy. There are many such examples, locally known among villagers.
If you are hapless but responsible and honest in your duties, the financially efficient people come ahead to take the responsibility of organizing any big functions of your family without charging any interest (especially like marriage of your daughter at their own expenses with a condition to pay back the money in reasonable time).
In similar way if you seek to build up your career but not finding the way and if someone from your village circle is capable of or know the path you want to go, they support you to trace your journey on both moral as well as possible financial grounds. There are many such examples of good friendships and brotherhood famous locally.
Dangosra: You make a partnership on shares of working for each other to get yours and fellow person field tasks done on or before time. Both parties enjoy working in a mutually created pleasant and jolly working environment.
Lhaas: Lhaas is the mean of doing the village common and social works like pond digging, water filling in ponds and canal mud cleaning together. Lhaases are often financed by financially capable people of village.
We live democracy in our nerves and blood.
Donation in public interest is the best charity.
Feeding and helping the needy and starving people (taking it as humanity and brotherhood) should be on priority of human kind.
Stealing wealth and manipulating own character is worst and that person is avoidable and deprivable.
Criticism should be for peace, harmony and betterment of social buildup rather for revenge or hurting purpose.
A girl of any caste or religion of Nidana is sister to all Nidanias.
Girls from immediate neighbour villages are also your sisters and you should give due resepect to them. People of adjoining villages keep meeting at social panchayats to keep these values reminded to each other. One of such Panchayat held in 2003, of which myself also became a part as spectator to watch its proceedings. This meeting was to resolve the misunderstanding of young students of ours and our adjoining village over each others girls. Meeting was resolved with strict order that if any boy from either of village found guilty of any teasing or harashment to girls of either of villages, will be punished socially, which may thrash that boy and his family to social boycott.
It is the primary duty of every villager to protect village girl (married or unmarried) life and interests taking first point at focus.
On village standard social norms every girl of your surname worldwide is your sister across religions (For example: Malik surname is found in Hindu Jats, Hindu Harijans, Hindu Khatries, Sikh and Muslims Jatts, so it is suggested to adore all girls belonging to these groups as sister). Now a day it is becoming very odd but it has been among the highest height of Nidana social values and respect for one's surname.
In due respect of rule 1 to 3, by birth Nidanias never marry with by birth Nidanias.
Nidana's major core fellowship is Arya Samaaj.
Nidana don't believe in any kind of idealism (gent lobby especially).
Neither there is nor there was any character in history of village like Amma Ji (of one of most famous serial, in which she was shown as unchallenged queen of the village), who had ever ruled the village for life-long and that too went unchallenged from any other villager.
Tradition of killing newly born girl infants openly and fearlessly as if it were their religion shown in some T.V. serials; neither in history nor in present any such trend found in practice in Nidana. As far as female foeticide is concerned it is the trend came into light in last two decades only and that too happen behind curtains. It is never accepted in society and is the crime of some wicked minded persons and on social norms it is counted as henius crime.
Ours is among the most democratic village found throughout India; where gap of distribution of resources among various castes is found minimum. Meaning to say is that the line between the poor and rich is minimum throughout India and our society is free of any thakur/amma versus greeb janta type of system.
Our village got its first school in 1935, so before comparing your village to any such program or presentation, you should be aware of it that ours is the village who have most graduated people in surrounding neighborhood.
There is no one seen or found sleeping emty stomach in my village on social terms.
There is no native noukar found calling Maalik to his/her employer, and it is all because of democratic thinking of villagers, which states the relation of Noukar-Maalik as "Seeri-Saajhi", means partners in day to day life starting from sorrow to happiness, eating to farming.
Anti-wine revolution (boys) of 90's-00's: As you may have come to read about Swami Ratan Dev Ji Sarswati under education section of website. Here thanks to the then youth of village, who got united and stood under Swami Ji's leadership and promised to self to make Nidana a wine free village. The passion and dedication in every youth was so high that they did a 24*7 hours exploration on village entry roads, mud-ways and external periphery to ensure foolproof blocking of wine mafia in village. That who were alcoholic by habit or any other came under their scanning, his entry in village was allowed only after proper scanning. For those particular years til this mission continued, village especially the ladies saw the heavenly life in Nidana. A full list of all Swami Ji's enthusiastic youth brigade will be made soon to display here. Swami Ji stood with them until his last breath. Your Nidana Nagri seeks your second incarnation Swami Ji!
Anti-smoking revolution (girls) of 90's-00's: One side Swami Ratandev Ji was dedicated to root out wine from Nidana with his youth brigade, on the other hand he was preparing base to root out smoking from village. For this he started from households, thou prepared the village young girls brigade to aware and oppose use of tobacco by elder house ladies and gents. Hukkas and other smoking stacks like biddies and cigarettes were on their specific target. During that era street flag marches and door to door health awareness and anti-smoking campaigns were usual scenes in village. Hope Swami Ji would have lived longer or have returned earlier, village should have become multiple times better than what it currently is.
At present day, village needs such charismatic person with more urgency than 90's and 00's. Everyone seems going directionless like "Apni-apni dafli, apna-apna raag". No synergy and energy seen to stir together and discuss illnesses of society.

BEE commission says MTN scheme contrary to objectives of empowerment law
South Africa's Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Commission said on Thursday a probe initiated in 2017 into mobile communications company MTN's Zakhele-Futhi scheme had found it to be contrary to the objectives of the B-BBEE Act.
In a statement, the commission said it had issued remedial recommendations to address the defects identified in the scheme, including changes to governing documents such as the memorandum of incorporation and the relationship agreement, to grant black shareholders effective rights, control, participation and economic benefits in respect of their stake.
MTN launched the scheme in September 2016 to replace an existing one that was lapsing in November that year. The initiative, valued at R9.9-billion, was intended to afford qualifying black investors the opportunity to apply for shares in MTN Zakhele-Futhi, which in turn would acquire approximately four percent equity in MTN at a 20% discount, making the black participants indirect shareholders in the company.
The commission said after concerns were registered about the scheme relating to compliance with the ownership scorecard, it had engaged MTN over the contents of the transaction, leading to a formal investigation.
"The commission found that the black ownership held through MTN Zakhele-Futhi is contrary to the objectives of the B-BBEE Act and further that the MTN Zakhele Futhi as a broad-based ownership schemes did not comply with the rules ... of the Codes of Good Practice," it said.
It said MTN had denied engaging in any practice, conduct or arrangement contrary to the B-BBEE Act, in particular any fronting practice or misrepresentation of its B-BBEE status, but expressed willingness to cooperate with the commission and implement changes to the scheme to address the concerns raised.
On the basis of MTN's cooperation, the commission said it had issued final findings which included remedial recommendations to be implemented by the company.
These include amendments to the governing documents to enable MTN Zakhele-Futhi to exercise the rights to nominate representation on the board of MTN and to remove the veto rights MTN has in respect of the trickle dividend and the general dividend that would flow to black participants.
They will also enable MTN Zakhele-Futhi to appoint its own board members who need not be MTN appointees or nominees. MTN is also expected to develop and submit a compliance programme to ensure future compliance with the B-BBEE Act.
"MTN has demonstrated cooperation and willingness to remedy the defects identified by the commission, and the commission will monitor the implementation of the recommendations issued," the B-BBEE Commission said.
