Painting titled 'The Burning of Rome' (© Fine Art Images/Heritage Images/Getty Images)(64 CE) A blaze flares up in the twisting streets of Rome
The moon is full, the wind high, and when a fire breaks out in a shop stocking explosives, it soon whips into a conflagration in the narrow streets and packed neighborhoods of Rome. The fire will rage for six days, but contrary to popular belief, Emperor Nero will not fiddle around.
The Great Fire of Rome was an urban fire in July of the year AD 64. It caused widespread devastation in the city on 19 July, before being brought under control after six days. Differing accounts either blame Emperor Nero for initiating the fire or credit him with organizing measures to contain it and provide relief for refugees. According to Tacitus and later Christians, Nero blamed the devastation on the Christian community in the city, initiating the empire’s first persecution against the Christians.
Start date: 64 AD
End date: 64 AD

Elizabeth Cady Stanton with her sons, Daniel and Henry, in 1848 (Public domain)(1848) Seneca Falls hosts a watershed moment in women's rights
Crowds gather in Seneca Falls, New York, for the opening of a two-day Women's Rights Convention, the first of its kind ever held in America. Prominent speakers, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, will call for equal rights for women, including the right to vote.
The Seneca Falls Convention was the first women's rights convention. It advertised itself as "a convention to discuss the social, civil, and religious condition and rights of woman". Held in Seneca Falls, New York, it spanned two days over July 19–20, 1848. Attracting widespread attention, it was soon followed by other women's rights conventions, including the Rochester Women's Rights Convention in Rochester, New York, two weeks later. In 1850 the first in a series of annual National Women's Rights Conventions met in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
