She was the “#LadyWithTheLamp”,.. the founder of modern nursing, who will long be remembered for her trailblazing work in statistics.

I want to learn how to make plots like this with Racket's plot, to have a week or so to try comprehending polar(?) plots, or whatever's needed.

Useless Quote for 15 Jan:

"The qualities which you really want, viz., self-control, self-reliance, habits of accurate thought, integrity and what you generally call trustworthiness, are not decided by competitive examination, which test little else than the memory."

~ Florence Nightingale, 17 May 1857

In 1644, William Playfair invented the first infographics. Florence Nightingale and Charles Joseph Minard extended the science and art. #Poetry #History #Science #Infographics #Demography #FlorenceNightingale (https://sharpgiving.com/thebookofscience/items/p1644.html)

In actual fact, the implementation of nurses in rural communities was a national scheme.

Before the mid-19th Century, nursing was not seen as a respectable job. It was practiced by the poorest women and society associated it with slovenliness, bad character, and drunkenness. That changed in the Crimean War (1853-56) through the efforts of women such as #FlorenceNightingale and #MarySeacole. The second half of the century saw the beginning of nurse training and the recognition of it as a profession.

Queen Victoria took a great interest in this. In 1887, for her Golden Jubilee, Women's Institutes all over the country raised the vast sum of £70,000 and presented it to the queen. Victoria decreed that it should be used to provide training and support for a new scheme: District Nursing. This was the start of the community nursing we still benefit from in the UK today.

Hence the Jubilee Cottage for the Jubilee Institute Nurse.

But who was Veronica Badgery? And what about her absent husband?

A bit more digging gave me some fascinating answers.

In Marylebone in 1896, Annie Veronica Huntley, daughter of Richard Herbert Maxwell Huntley ('gentleman') married Thomas William Badgery, a leather dresser from Worcester.

In 1898, their son, Thomas Maxwell Badgery, was born.

In 1902, Anne Veronica filed for divorce.

Florence Nightingale, by Aster Crowley
#FlorenceNightingale #AsterCrowley

"Why is Shakespeare *only* an artist (though the first) and Aeschylus inspired? Why is Greek art not art but inspiration? I have always felt, though it is a treason in an Englishman to say so, when I have opened Shakespeare, this is *only* art. I shall never open this book except at a leisure moment, never open it to fit me for the struggles which convulse our lives... There are many inferior artists, far, far inferior artists to Shakespeare, who have had a higher ideal, especially in regard to women, than his. With the exception of his Brutus’s wife (and perhaps Isabella), I don’t know one of his women who lives for anything but her personal hopes and fears. But Aeschylus, who will degrade him?"

Florence Nightingale (letter to her sister Parthenope [29 April 1850])

Could people still enjoy the game after reading #RoseGeorge's #TheBigNecessity and seeing Florence Nightingale's work? #MikeDavis mentions #FlorenceNightingale a lot in #LateVictorianHolocausts. She opposed the #BritishEmpire's policy of starving people to death in India. It's hard to make exciting games and movies about #WarByOtherMeans. How would a documentary game work??

Someone told me about the board-game #Warhammer. I thought: where are the toilets and cafeterias? An on-line video showed an energetic presenter looking like Ukraine's Zelensky. That made me even more fearful for the people. Inn an earlier #CrimeanWar that #FlorenceNightingale did data visualizations to show that British soldiers were more likely to die from #sanitation/#hygiene conditions than from enemy sodliers. #HisashiInouesaid Japan's military was bad at feeding its soldiers: bad at war.
