Hermann Wolf (* 13. Mai 1861 in Großwaltersdorf; † 29. Januar 1939 in Freital) war von 1890 bis 1928 ein Pionier der deutschen Arbeiternaturheilbewegung. Von 1880 bis 1890 war Wolf Volksschullehrer. Er übte den Beruf eines Naturheilkundigen selbst 32 Jahre lang aus. 23 Jahre lang war er Vorsitzender des örtlichen Arbeiternaturheilvereins in Döhlen und Freital. Er war Vorsitzender des Dachverbandes der deutschen Arbeiternaturheilbewegung und 20 Jahre lang Redakteur der Verbandszeitschrift Die Volksgesundheit.

Familie
Karl Hermann Wolf wurde am 19. Mai 1861 in Großwaltersdorf geboren. Er war das neunte Kind seiner Eltern Johann Gottlieb Wolf und Christiane Conkordia Wolf geb. Buschmann. Sein Vater war Besitzer eines Gutes in Großwaltersdorf, bestehend aus Wohnhaus, Stallungen und Altenteil. Er war Mitglied des Schulvorstands in Eppendorf. Seine Mutter kümmerte sich um die Kinder des nahegelegenen Armenhauses und entlauste sie im Stall. Hermann Wolf musste die Läuse auf einem Melkschemel mit dem Hammer totschlagen. Er besuchte die Volksschule in Eppendorf. 1872 wechselte er auf die Selekta nach Oederan, eine gehobene Volksschule. Von 1875 bis 1880 besuchte Hermann Wolf das evangelisch-lutherische Lehrerseminar in Annaberg. Am 3. März 1880 bestand er die Schulamtskandidatenprüfung, die ihn zur Annahme einer Hilfslehrerstelle berechtigte. Am 6. März 1884 heiratete er in Oederan Lina Selma Uhlig, * 6. März 1884 in Oederan. Aus der Ehe ging ein lebendes Kind hervor, Selma Frieda Wolf (verh. Fuchs) * 11. Januar 1884 in Döhlen. Lina Selma Wolf verstarb am 21. August 1891 nach der Geburt ihre dritten Kindes in Döhlen. In zweiter Ehe heiratete er am 3. September 1892 Ida Maria Neumann, * 29. Dezember 1864 in Deuben, † 16. Juli 1946. Aus der Ehe gingen zwei Söhne hervor: Hermann Johannes (Hans) Wolf, * 4. Januar 1894 in Neuschweinsdorf, später Deuben, später praktischer Arzt und Geburtshelfer, † 22. April 1945, und Hermann Friedrich (Fritz) Wolf, * 27. Juni 1895 in Dresden, später Stadtarzt in Freital, † 1956.

Berufsjahre als Volksschullehrer
Seine erste Stelle als Hilfslehrer erhielt er im Februar 1880 in Niederlauterstein im mittleren Erzgebirge. Dort begann er sich erstmals mit Naturheilkunde zu beschäftigen, was nach 1890 zu seinem Lebensinhalt werden sollte. Er entschloss sich als Lehrer, alle seine erkrankten Schüler zu besuchen und erlebte dort Not und Elend. 1883 bestand er die Wahlfähigkeitsprüfung, ein Staatsexamen, das ihn zur Annahme einer vollen Lehrstelle berechtigte. Im gleichen Jahr erhielt er in Döhlen, ab 1921 Freital eine besser dotierte volle Lehrerstelle, die er 1890 aufgab.

Die sächsische Volksschule am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts
Nach sieben Berufsjahren in Döhlen entschloss sich Wolf, seinen künftigen Lebensunterhalt als Inhaber einer Naturheilpraxis zu verdienen. Motiv war, dass nach Wolfs Überzeugung der Unterricht in der Volksschule mit zeitgenössischen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen nicht in Einklang zu bringen war. In einer 24-seitigen, von ihm selbst verlegten und 1892 erschienenen Schrift "Warum ich nicht mehr Volksschullehrer bin" beschrieb Wolf die die Situation in den Volksschulen, wie er sie von 1880 bis 1890 erlebt hatte und benannte die Ursachen dafür.

Unterfinanzierung der Volksschule
Pro Volksschüler wendete das Königreich Sachsen jährlich nur 18,81 Mark auf, für einen Realschüler 153,48 Mark und für einen Gymnasiasten 193,92 Mark. Auf einen Lehrer an Gymnasien kämen 14 Schüler, 15 Schüler an hohen gewerblichen Schulen und auf einen Volksschullehrer kämen 84 Schüler, in schlechten Fällen sogar 120 und 150 Schüler. Dies führte zu übergroßen Klassen.

Lehrerausbildung
Die Lehrerausbildung sei einseitig. Im Lehrerseminar in Annaberg, das Wolf von 1875 bis 1880 besuchte, sei verlangt worden, dass die künftigen Lehrer 100 Choräle auswendig auf der Violine spielen konnten. Mit der zeitgenössischen pädagogischen Literatur seien sie aber nicht vertraut gemacht worden. Sie hätten nichts erfahren über die Werke der Pädagogen Johann Amos Comenius, Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, Johann Michael Herbart, Jean-Jacques Rousseau und Adolph Diesterweg und auch nichts von Charles Darwin.

Falsche und überflüssige Lerninhalte
Neben Lesen, Schreiben und Rechnen werde ein Hauptgewicht auf Religion gelegt. Dabei werde den Kindern beigebracht, dass Glaubenssätze göttlichen Ursprungs seien. Verschwiegen werde dabei, dass es sich dabei um Beschlüsse von Konzilien handelt. Nicht erwähnt werde, dass auf dem Konzil von Nicäa 325 beschlossen wurde, dass Christus Gottes Sohn ist, und auf dem Konzil von Konstantinopel 381, dass auch der heilige Geist göttlich ist. Die Kinder müssten lernen, wie viele Kamele, Esel und Schafe die Ahnväter der Israeliten, Abraham, Isaak und Jacob gehabt hätten. Später im Leben könnten sie dieses Wissen aber nicht gebrauchen. Außerdem müssten die Kinder eine Masse von Liederversen, Bibelsprüchen und biblischen Geschichten auswendig lernen. Weil sie in einer veralteten Sprache gehalten seien, verrenke man sich mangels Gewöhnung im Alltag die Zunge bei derartigen Texten. Dies sei eine Kinderquälerei. Der Eindruck Heinrich Heines, wonach es der Religionsunterricht sei, in dem es die meisten Prügel setzt, habe sich auch in der sächsischen Volksschule bestätigt.

Vernachlässigte Lerninhalte

Vernachlässigt werde die Gesetzeskunde, auch über die Wahrnehmung ihrer eigenen Interessen wüssten die Kinder nichts. Über Volkswirtschaft werde ebenfalls nichts gelehrt, obwohl diese zu den brennendsten Fragen des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts gehöre.

Schlecht vermittelte Lerninhalte

Lesen und Schreiben
Lesen und Schreiben setzt ein bestimmtes Maß an Sach- und Sprachkenntnis voraus. Die Vermittlung solcher Kenntnisse finde in der Volksschule nicht statt. Der Lese- und Schreibunterricht finde auch nicht nebeneinander statt. Deshalb müssten die Kinder zunächst Buchstaben nachmalen, ohne sie zu verstehen und Lauten zuordnen zu können.

Didaktik in der Volksschule
Die Volksschule lege großes Gewicht auf Namen, Zahlen, Tatsachen und einzelne Erscheinungen. Vernachlässigt würden Zusammenhänge, Ursachen und die Verknüpfung der Tatsachen. Dadurch werde die Volksschule nicht zur Denkschule, sondern bleibe eine Einpauk- und Dressuranstalt. Selbst den Religionsunterricht hätte man in den Dienst der Vermittlung von Zusammenhängen stellen können: Man könnte zeigen, wie sich die menschliche Gottesvorstellung vom Fetischdienst über die Vielgötterei zum Monotheismus entwickelt habe.

Geschichtsunterricht
Geschichtsunterricht und Naturkundeunterricht seien nur widerwillig eingeführt worden. Der Geschichtsunterricht erschöpfe sich im Einprägen von Namen, Jahreszahlen, Tatsachen und Schlachtenverläufen. Beispielsweise werde aber versäumt zu erklären, dass die deutsche Einigung 1867/1871 kein solitärer Einfall Bismarcks war, sondern eine von der Bevölkerung für dringlich gehaltene Notwendigkeit. Die Wirtschaft habe mehr und größere Absatzgebiete gebraucht, die die Kleinstaaten nicht hätten bieten können.

Naturwissenschaftlicher Unterricht
In der Pflanzenkunde, Tierkunde und Anthropologie beschränke man sich auf Beschreibungen. In der Pflanzenkunde mussten sich die Kinder merken, ob Blätter gezähnt, gesägt, gelappt, gekerbt, linealisch oder lanzettlich seien. Nach einem Jahr sei dies alles vergessen. Naturbeschreibungen seien noch keine Naturwissenschaft. Besser wäre es, Kinder auf Erscheinungen hinzuweisen, die für ein Naturgesetz charakteristisch seien. Unberücksichtigt bleibe die Erkenntnis Alexander von Humboldts, dass der Reichtum der Naturwissenschaften nicht in der Fülle der Tatsachen bestehe, sondern in ihrer Verkettung. Naturwissenschaftlicher Unterricht müsse auch in der Natur stattfinden, Es sei aber nicht möglich, eine Klasse von 60 bis 70 Schülern außerhalb des Klassenzimmers zu unterrichten.

Klassengrößen
Größtes Hindernis für Lernerfolge seien die Klassengrößen mit bis zu 75 Kindern in einer Klasse. Der Lehrer behelfe sich dort mit körperlicher Züchtigung der Schüler in Form von Prügeln. In einer Klasse von 50 bis 60 Kindern sei ohne Stock nicht auszukommen. Die Schuld liege nicht nur beim Lehrer, wenn er die Grenzen seines Züchtigungsrechts überschreitet. Sie liege auch darin, dass zu wenig Geld für die Anstellung von Lehrern für die Volksschulen vorgesehen werde. Ideal wäre eine Klassenstärke von zehn bis zwölf Schülern pro Klasse. Wegen der hohen Schülerzahlen würden bei den Lehrern die Nerven- und Lungenkrankheiten zunehmen. Es sei nicht möglich, einem Klassenzimmer Frischluft für 60 Personen zuzuführen. Ein weiteres Hindernis für den Lernerfolg sei, dass die Kinder häufig zu wenig zu essen hätten. Ein voller Bauch studiere nicht gern, und ein leerer noch viel weniger.

Ursachen der schlechten Ausstattung der Volksschulen
Die Volksschule solle nicht dem Schüler nutzen, sondern sei eine Einrichtung derer, denen die Volksschüler später einmal dienen sollten. Sie soll eine untere Volksschicht erzeugen und aufrechterhalten. Die Schule der Zukunft, die die grundlegenden Mängel vermeidet, sei schon bis ins Kleinste dargestellt. Allerdings könnte sie nur in einer sozialistischen Gesellschaft verwirklicht werden.

Vorsitzender des Naturheilvereins für den Plauenschen Grund und Umgebung
Am 28. Oktober 1887 gründete er den Verein für Gesundheitspflege und arzneilose Heilbehandlung zu Deuben und Umgebung, aus dem später der Naturheilverein für den Plauenschen Grund und Umgebung wurde. Im Juni 1905 kaufte der Naturheilverein 20.000 m² Feldgelände des Bauern Krause am Südhang des Windberges für 9.000 Mark. Die ersten Schrebergärten werden durch Verlosung von Anteilsscheinen zu je 3 bzw. 6 Mark vergeben. Die Gärten hatten eine Größe von etwa nur 50 m². Kleine Holzlauben zum Schutz gegen Witterung und zur Unterbringung der Gartengeräte entstanden. Westlich der Schrebergärten wurde ein Licht- und Luftbad errichtet, der damaligen Zeit entsprechend getrennt nach Herren- und Damenbad. Am 13. Mai 1906 wurde das Bad am Windberg eingeweiht. 1906 wurde Wolf Mitbegründer des Arbeiternaturverein in Dresden.

Wolf als praktischer Naturheiler

Auf dem Lehrerseminar in Annaberg benutzte Hermann Wolf das Buch des Leipziger Anatomen Carl Ernst Bock: Das Buch vom gesunden und kranken Menschen, das von 1854 bis 1929 in vielen Auflagen erschien. Bock war weniger Wissenschaftler als Publizist über den Bau des menschlichen Körpers, vernünftige Gesundheitspflege und den Wert körperlicher Übungen. Wolf profitierte von diesem Buch während seiner Lehrerzeit in Niederlauterstein, wenn er kranke Schulkinder besuchte und ihnen zu helfen versuchte. Einen Arzt, Krankenschwestern oder eine Krankenkasse gab es in dem armen Dorf nicht.

In Döhlen praktizierte Wolf zunächst nicht, da die Eltern im Industriedorf misstrauischer waren als in Niederlauterstein, das vom Holzschachtelmachen in Heimarbeit lebte. Wolfs Interesse an der Naturheilkunde blieb aber erhalten, da seine erste Frau kränklich war. Wolf verließ den Schuldienst 1890 wegen der schlechten Ausstattung der Volksschule und weil Lehrer nicht Mitglieder eines sozialdemokratisch orientierten Vereins sein durften.

Ab 1890 arbeitete sich Wolf in die praktischen Anwendungsformen der Naturheilkunde ein, also Abwaschungen, Bäder, Klistiere, Packungen, Massagen und Gymnastik. Er erlernte und praktizierte die Massagetechnik nach Thure Brandt, die Fehlstellungen der Gebärmutter beheben konnte.

Marten Thure Emil Brandt (1819–1895) war schwedischer Gymnastiklehrer und Physiotherapeut. Ab 1861 entwickelte er Massage- und Gymnastikmethoden, mit denen er Störungen und krankhafte Veränderungen der weiblichen Geschlechtsorgane heilen konnte. Die Behandlungsmethode fand zunächst keine wissenschaftliche Anerkennung und Verbreitung, da Brandt kein Arzt war. 1887 gelang der Durchbruch in Mitteleuropa, nachdem der österreichische Gynäkologe Paul Profanter Brandts Methode in der Universität Jena begutachten ließ und gute Erfolge bescheinigt wurden.

Eine seltene Heilung gelang Wolf während des ersten Weltkriegs: Sein Sohn Friedrich erkrankte nach einer Verwundung in der Champagne an Wundstarrkrampf. Die Infektion war so weit fortgeschritten, dass weitere Behandlungen unterblieben, weil sie nicht mehr erfolgreich schienen. Hermann Wolf erstritt sich den Zugang zum Lazarett und heilte seinen Sohn mit Wasseranwendungen, Wolf hatte den Ruf eines beliebten "Wasserdoktors", der sich für seine Patienten Zeit nahm. Wolf führte seine Praxis 32 Jahre lang und gab sie 1922 auf, als er Vorsitzender des Verbandes Volksgesundheit wurde.

Hinwendung Wolfs zur Sozialdemokratie

In den Naturheilverein Döhlen traten zahlreiche Arbeiter ein, die wegen des Sozialistengesetzes keine eigenen Organisationen gründen konnten, aber für Zusammenkünfte auf ein gesetzlich geduldetes Vereinsleben angewiesen waren. Eine Sympathie für die Sozialdemokratie Wolfs bestand schon im Jahr der Gründung des Naturheilvereins, weil Wolf bei den Reichstagswahlen 1887 sozialdemokratisch wählte. Die Neigung festigte sich, nachdem ein Vereinsmitglied Wolf das Buch von August Bebel: Die Frau in der Vergangenheit, der Gegenwart und der Zukunft aus dem Jahr 1883 gab, und er dieses in einer Nacht durchlas. Wolf bekam auch hinter einer Scheune des Kammerguts Döhlen die in Deutschland verbotene, in Zürich und London produzierte Zeitung Der Sozialdemokrat zugesteckt. Mit dem historischen Materialismus befasste sich Wolf immer wieder, und er wurde zur grundlegenden Herangehensweise von Wolf. Josef Dietzgen, den sozialistischen Theoretiker, nannte Wolf seinen Lieblingsschriftsteller. Themen der Volksgesundheit, wie Geburtenregelung, beurteilte Wolf hinfort vom Standpunkt des historischen Materialismus aus. 1889, nach dem Internationalen Arbeiterkongress in Paris, wurde Wolf als Vorsitzender des Naturheilvereins gefragt, wie sich der Verein zum Achtstundentag stelle. Wolf erwiderte, dass diese Forderung mit den Grundsätzen einer naturgemäßen Gesundheitspflege übereinstimme. Daraufhin wurde der Naturheilverein polizeilich überwacht. Diese Verfolgung bestärkte Wolf in seinen Überzeugungen.

Zwischen 1904 und 1906 wirkte Wolf an der Gründung einer sozialistischen Jugendorganisation für den Plauenschen Grund mit. Er zog zunächst Söhne von langjährigen Sozialdemokraten heran. Er machte mit ihnen Sonntagsausflüge und vermied es, sie direkt auf antimilitaristische und antikapitalistische Themen anzusprechen. Allerdings erwiesen sich die jungen Männer als interessiert an politischen Fragen. Bald waren es 70 bis 90 Personen. 1931 waren es 200 bis 300 Jugendliche, die Jugendabende besuchten, ein Drittel davon weiblich. 800 Jugendliche im Plauenschen Grund waren Abonnenten der Jungen Garde, der von 1906 bis 1908 herausgegebene Zeitung des Verbandes junger Arbeiter Deutschlands. Als er 1915 den Krieg öffentlich verurteilte, wurde er für zwei Monate im Gefängnis in Dresden am Münchener Platz inhaftiert. Er trat in die USPD ein.

Funktionär im Dachverband Volksgesundheit

Vom Deutschen Bund zum Verband Volksgesundheit

Der Verein für Gesundheitspflege schloss sich dem Deutschen Bund der Vereine für naturgemäße Lebens- und Heilweise mit Sitz in Berlin an. Schon auf der ersten Bundesversammlung des Verbandes im Jahr 1890 waren Sächsische Naturheilvereine damit unzufrieden, dass sich der Bundesvorstand über die Interessen der Arbeiter hinwegsetzte. Sie bemängelten vor allem, dass der Bundesvorstand zu den überlangen Arbeitszeiten und der übermäßigen Frauen- und Kinderarbeit schwieg.  Da der Vorstand dies als Parteiinteressen abtat, die in den Verband hineingespielt werden sollten, traten 30 meist sächsische Vereine aus dem Deutschen Bund aus.

Der Altenburger Verband

Die ausgetretenen Vereine gründeten 1891 in Altenburg (Thüringen) den Verband der Vereine für Natur- und Volksheilkunde. Er gab die Zeitschrift Natur- und Volksheilkunde heraus. Hermann Wolf nahm Anstoß an einem Artikel in der Verbandszeitschrift, der den Militarismus verherrlichte. Wolf beantragte deshalb auf der Bundesversammlung 1893 in Gößnitz, die Verbandszeitschrift durch den Leipziger Natur- und Volksarzt zu ersetzen. Die Bundesversammlung lehnte den Antrag ab und unter der Führung Wolfs traten viele sächsische Naturheilvereine wieder dem Deutschen Bund bei.

Wieder im Deutschen Bund

Dreizehn Jahre blieben die sächsischen Naturheilvereine im Deutschen Bund. Vor der Bundesversammlung 1903 in Magdeburg hielt Wolf einen Vortrag über die Unterernährung des Volkes und ihre Folgen. Danach sollte Wolf zum Leiter der "Abwehrstelle" gewählt werden. Die Abwehrstelle sollte die 1869 vom Reichstag des Norddeutschen Bundes gewährte Kurierfreiheit gegen die Propaganda der Deutschen Gesellschaft zur Bekämpfung des Kurpfuschertums verteidigen. Der Vortrag Wolfs stieß bei der Mehrheit der Delegierten auf so starke Ablehnung, dass sie Wolf die Wahl verweigerten. Auf der Bundesversammlung 1906 in Weißenfels beantragte Wolf, in Zukunft die einseitige Betonung der Willenskraft zur Verhütung von Krankheiten zu vermeiden. Auch dieser Antrag stieß auf Missfallen. Wolf wandte sich an die Arbeiternaturheilvereine und drohte dem Deutschen Bund mit erneuter Spaltung. Dessen Bundesvorstand erwiderte daraufhin pauschal, man habe stets berücksichtigt, dass die Vereine aus Mitgliedern aller Gesellschaftsklassen bestehen. Daraufhin traten wie 1890 zehn Arbeiternaturheilvereine mit 3.000 Mitgliedern aus dem Deutschen Bund aus. Rückblickend war Wolf der Ansicht, dass der Wiedereintritt in den Deutschen Bund der Naturheilbewegung sehr geschadet habe.

Zweiter Eintritt in der Altenburger Verband

Die ausgetretenen Vereine versammelte sich im Oktober 1906 im Dresdner Volkshaus und empfahlen den Eintritt in den Altenburger Verband. Wolf schlug auf der Vorstandssitzung des Altenburger Verbandes im November 1906 einen Arbeiternaturheilverband vor. Der Vorstand lehnte diesen Vorschlag ab und beschloss nur die Umbenennung auf den Verbandsnamen Verband der Vereine für Volksgesundheit und die Umbenennung der Vereinszeitschrift auf den Namen Natur- und Volksheilkunde. Wolf unternahm auf der außerordentlichen Verbandsversammlung 1906 in Gößnitz noch einmal einen Vorstoß in Richtung Arbeiternaturheilverband. Die Mehrheit sprach sich aber für einen "reinen Naturheilverband" aus. Trotz der zweimaligen Ablehnung traten Vereine mit 4.500 Mitgliedern dem Altenburger Verband bei.

Umbenennung in Verband der Vereine für Volksgesundheit
Wolf hielt am Arbeiternaturheilverband fest. Der Altenburger Verband wollte sich ein neues Programm und eine neue Satzung geben. Beides sollte auf der Hauptversammlung im Mai 1908 in Chemnitz beschlossen werden. Wolf trat für folgende Verbandspolitik ein: "Das beste Agitationsfeld ist für uns das industrielle Proletariat. Die Arbeiter in den Industriezentren sind meist sozialistisch gesinnt. Hier müsssten alle Fragen, auch die gesundheitlichen, vom Standpunkte der sozialistischen Weltanschauung beleuchtet werden. Dabei darf man aber nicht versäumen, den Arbeiter darüber aufzuklären, wie er unter den heutigen Verhältnissen seine Lebensweise gesundheitlicher gestalten kann. Man muss das eine tun und darf das andere nicht lassen." Allerdings gab es auch Vereinsvertreter, die jeglichen politischen Charakter des neuen Verbandes ablehnten. Statt Arbeiternaturheilverband erhielt der Verband den Namen Verband der Vereine für Volksgesundheit. Wolf und seine Gefolgsleute setzten sich bei den Vorstandswahlen durch mit dem Argument, dass der Vorstand wegen der leichteren Zusammenarbeit aus dem Dresdner Umland kommen sollte. Wolf wurde zum Redakteur der im Juli 1908 zum ersten Mal erschienenen Verbandszeitschrift Die Volksgesundheit, einem Amt, das er zwanzig Jahre lang behalten sollte. Die Umwandlung zu einem Arbeiternaturheilverband war gelungen, auch wenn dies im Verbandsnamen nicht zum Ausdruck kam. Wolf war damit zur Schlüsselfigur und zum Motor der Arbeiternaturheilbewegung geworden.

Erste Jahre des Verbandes der Vereine für Volksgesundheit
Eine Verbandsversammlung in Crimmitschau beschloss 1909 ein neues Programm. Vorgesehen war

 die Aufklärung der Arbeiterschaft durch Vorträge und die Verbandszeitschrift Volksgesundheit,
 die Herausgabe der Verbandszeitschrift,
 Kampf um den Erhalt der Kurierfreiheit, die durch ein Kurpfuschereigesetz beseitigt werden sollte.

1912 gehörten dem Verband an 36 Ortsvereine mit 9110 Mitgliedern. 1913 trat der Dachverband einem Spitzenverband bei, dem Zentralkomitee für Sport und Körperpflege, das wiederum Mitglied des Internationalen Bundes für Sport und Körperkultur war.

Tätigkeit Wolfs im Verband Volksgesundheit

Die Hauptversammlung des Verbandes beschloss als Hauptaufgabe des Verbandes die Förderung der persönlichen und sozialen Gesundheitspflege der Arbeiterbevölkerung. Wichtigstes Mittel war nach Wolfs Ansicht die Aufklärung über Gesundheitspflege und Heilkunde, über gesundheitsgemäße Lebensführung und Krankheitsvorbeugung. Von Ärzten könne die Aufklärung nicht geleistet werden, weil sie überlaufen sind und keine Zeit für den Patienten haben.

Wolf konterte mit Erfolg die Angriffe auf die Kurierfreiheit, die der liberalen Mehrheit im Reichstag des Norddeutschen Bundes zu verdanken war. Der Gesetzentwurf zur Bekämpfung der Kurpfuscherei und des Geheimmittelschwindels von 1909 würde die Arbeiter einem Stande ausliefern, der den großen Volksmassen sehr fern steht. Zwischen Kurpfuschern und Naturheilern unterscheide der Entwurf nicht. Das beabsichtigte Gesetz trat nicht in Kraft; das Heilpraktikergesetz wurde erst 1939 als Reichsregierungsgesetz erlassen.

Den Erfolg der Naturheilbewegung führte Wolf darauf zurück, dass Ärzte häufig bei der symptomatischen Behandlung stehen blieben und die Naturheilkundigen an den Ursachen ansetzten. Der Kampf der Ärzte gegen die Naturheilkundigen sei oft nur der Kampf der Besitzenden gegen die Besitzlosen.

Ideologische Konflikte im Verband Volksgesundheit

Wolf war der Überzeugung, dass das Krankheitselend nur durch den Sozialismus grundlegend beseitigt werden könne. Das Gesundheitswesen solle verstaatlicht werden. Da Wolf diese Ansicht deutlich vertrat, wurde befürchte, dass Anhänger anderer politischer Richtungen die Naturheilvereine verlassen könnten. Aufgabe des Verbandes sei es nicht, Naturheilanhänger zu Sozialdemokraten zu machen, sondern Arbeiter zu Naturheilanhängern. Wolf bot seinen Rücktritt für den Fall an, dass der Verband mit seiner Arbeit als Redakteur der Verbandszeitschrift unzufrieden war. Der Rücktritt wurde aber nicht angenommen. 1912 wurde Wolf seitens anderer Verbandspersonen ermahnt, seine Artikel diplomatischer zu schreiben. Zum Missfallen Wolfs nahm die SPD-Spitze auf Reichsebene keine Stellung zur Naturheilkunde.

1922 wählte der Verband Volksgesundheit, Dachverband der Arbeiternaturheilvereine, Wolf zu seinem Vorsitzenden.

1928 zog er sich im 68. Lebensjahr aus der Redaktion der Zeitschrift Volksgesundheit, die er bis dahin leitete, zurück und lebte als Privatmann.

Rezeption

Die Forderung Wolfs, das Gesundheitswesen in staatliche Hand zu bringen, konnte ab 1921 in der neugegründeten Stadt Freital verwirklicht werden. Hermann Wolf wurde Gründungsstadtverordneter. Sein Sohn Dr. Friedrich Wolf wurde in das Stadtratskollegium gewählt und stand dem Gesundheitswesen der Stadt bis 1933 vor. Es entstanden eine Schulzahnklinik, eine stadteigene Poliklinik und städtische Erholungsheime im Gimmlitztal und an der Talsperre Klingenberg. Die ärztliche Behandlung war kostenlos für Personen, die nicht krankenversichert waren. Das städtische Säuglingsheim wurde erweitert, übernahm die Pflege erkrankter Säuglinge und nahm gesunde Kleinkinder auf. Das Deubener Krankenhaus wurde zum Krankenhaus für die ganze Stadt vergrößert. Die Stadt richtete ein eigenes Gesundheitsamt ein. Es wurde zur zentralen Anlaufstelle für die Kinder- und Jugendfürsorge, die Krankenfürsorge und den Infektionsschutz. Eine Kommission von Medizinalbeamten der Gesundheitsorganisation des Völkerbunds besuchte am 18. Oktober 1927 Freital. Friedrich Wolf stellte die Gesundheitseinrichtungen der Stadt vor und führte die Kommissionsmitglieder durch Poliklinik, Kinderheime und Fürsorgestellen.

Anfang März 1933, unmittelbar nach der Machtergreifung, wurde Friedrich Wolf beurlaubt, durch Dr. Otto Grundmann ersetzt und später auf seinen Antrag hin in den Ruhestand versetzt. 1945 wurde Wolf Staatssekretär für das Gesundheitswesen des Landes Sachsen und später Chefarzt der Lungenheilstätte Zschadraß und der Kindertuberkuloseheilstätte Wechselburg.

Nationalsozialismus

1933 zog Wolf mittellos zu seinem ersten Sohn, dem Arzt Johannes Wolf, in die Weißiger Straße 53 in Oberdöhlen. Hier erlebte er, wie der Verband Volksgesundheit und seine Verbandszeitschrift von den Nationalsozialisten verboten wurde. Der Naturheilverein für den Plauenschen Grund und Umgebung, der ebenfalls in Volksgesundheit umbenannt war, wurde 1933 gleichgeschaltet. Der Verein trat aus dem Verband Volksgesundheit aus und trat wieder in den völkisch gewordenen Deutschen Bund der Vereine für naturgemäße Lebens- und Heilweise ein. Zum Vorsitzenden des Vereins wählten die Mitglieder den Nationalsozialisten Otto Söhnel und benannten den Verein um in Verein Gesundheitspflege. Die Gleichschaltung empfand Wolf als Verhängnis. Er starb 1939 in seiner Wohnung.

Ehrungen
In Freital wurden eine Straße und 1947 das Windbergbad nach Hermann Wolf benannt. Südlich des Windbergbades wurde ein Gedenkstein für ihn errichtet. Die Benennung des Bades wurde nach 1990 rückgängig gemacht.

The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr together with a fragmentary Biography of Kapellmeister Johannes Kreisler on Random Sheets of Waste Paper is a complex satirical novel by Prussian Romantic-era author E. T. A. Hoffmann. It was first published in 1819–1821 as Lebens-Ansichten des Katers Murr nebst fragmentarischer Biographie des Kapellmeisters Johannes Kreisler in zufälligen Makulaturblättern, in two volumes. A planned third volume was never completed.

Synopsis

The text of the book states it is the autobiography of a cat named Murr who has learned to write. The content of the book is therefore the life and work of the cat Murr, as written by Murr. However, in between Murr's autobiography, there are pages of a biography of another character, Johannes Kreisler.

Reception
Critic Alex Ross writes of the novel: "If the phantasmagoric 'Kater Murr' were published tomorrow as the work of a young Brooklyn hipster, it might be hailed as a tour de force of postmodern fiction."

Jeffrey Ford described the novel as a "complex, truly wild fiction" where Hoffmann "pieced together the fragments of his own shattered psyche and commented on the relationship of art and artists to society."

English translations
An English translation by Anthea Bell was published in 1999 by Penguin Classics.

Biografia
Avviato agli studi ecclesiastici, fuggì dal seminario per arruolarsi a Milano nella Grande Armata napoleonica. Partecipò alla conquista del Regno di Napoli dove, distintosi per l'ardimento, venne promosso e successivamente inviato in Spagna. Nel 1813 venne ferito in combattimento e promosso ufficiale. Non volendo aggregarsi, a seguito della sconfitta dell'Impero, all'esercito imperiale, si congedò rientrando a Lucca. Maria Luisa di Borbone-Spagna, duchessa di Lucca, lo richiamò promuovendolo a capitano comandante dei fucilieri. Nel 1835 gli venne affidato l'incarico di presidente dell'amministrazione militare lucchese e promosso colonnello.

Nel marzo 1848, con la partecipazione della Toscana alla prima guerra d'indipendenza italiana, venne inviato a comandare un corpo di spedizione in Lombardia, dove subì una pesante sconfitta nei pressi di Montanara, frazione di Curtatone. Ritiratosi col proprio plotone inizialmente a Mantova, dovette ripiegare verso la Toscana. Venne ucciso sulla strada del ritorno da un sottufficiale, a seguito di un alterco.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - We're one step closer to the weekend, but unfortunately that means one step closer to being coated in ice. But we'll take the good with the bad.
Six dogs rescued from a Richmond home involved in a dog fighting operation are getting a chance at a better life thanks to Richmond Animal Care and Control. Carlton Hardy, 52, pleaded guilty to charges of animal cruelty. Six dogs seized in the operation had to be euthanized, but six more have been rehabilitated and are either in new homes or at rescue centers.
Two bills are currently before the General Assembly that would make all phone usage while driving illegal, prompting a $125 fine for a first offense, and a higher charge for subsequent offenses.

Investigation of a probe into Dagestan Republic resident financing terrorism finished
The evidence collected by the Moscow Regional Main Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia was found by court to be sufficient to sentence 6 members of an organized criminal community that operated in Chekhovsky District. They were found guilty of organizing of and taking part in a criminal community (Parts 1, 2, 3 of Article 210 of the Criminal Code of Russia) and of six episodes of fraud (Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of Russia) and legalization (Paragraphs A and B of Part 4 of Article 174.1 of the Criminal Code of Russia).
The investigation and the court established that, from October 2011 to August 2016, 13 members of the criminal community including real estate agents, entrepreneurs, Cadastre Chamber officers, and other persons had illegally acquired ownership rights for nine plots of land and two buildings located in different settlements of Chekhovsky Municipal District. The total cost of the property acquired through the illegal activities had exceeded 130 million rubles. The total market cost of the property (land and buildings) acquired and legalized by the members of the criminal community as a result of their illegal activities had reached at least 60 million rubles, which is recognized as a large-scale offence.
The investigation of this criminal case was particularly difficult, primarily due to the large number of accused, as well as in connection with the use of technical means of conspiracy at the time of committing of the offences. The investigation carried out voluminous work for collection and consolidation of evidence: about 140 witnesses were questioned, over 60 searches and seizures were carried out. At 15 examinations, including evaluative, handwriting, land surveying, including for the purpose of restoring the boundaries of the land plot issued to the USSR Ministry of Defense in the 60x, were carried out. The property of the accused was arrested for security purposes. Operational support was provided by officers of the Federal Security Service of Russia and Moscow Regional Main Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
The court has already issued convictions into 6 persons that had signed immunity agreements at the initial stage of the investigation. One of the accused was put on the international wanted list.
The court sentenced 6 members of the organized criminal community to 17-15 years of imprisonment in a strict regime penal colony and 9-7 years of imprisonment in a general regime penal colony.

WELCOME TO THE PLAYBORHOOD – POKELICIOUS
October 24, 2016 by editor 1 Comment
All work and no play makes Jack a…
Playborhood — a version of American kid life featured in shows like "The Little Rascals" and "Leave It to Beaver," in which kids build forts and ride bikes outside, unsupervised
THUS describes the nirvana a very focused father in Silicon Valley tried to create for his kids and those of his neighbors, according to a lengthy profile on him in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine. It's not unlike my description and desires that I have written about and advocated for in LIC since starting this website in 2012. Whether it be requesting foresight in the planning of Hunters Point Park to visualize it all of half a decade ahead, describing LIC as a giant cul-de-sac, or cultivating free-range kids and selbstständigkeit (self-sufficiency).
Unlike the NYT article, which the father uses to proselytize about what should be, the purpose of this missive is to point out what already is: for all the reasons I mentioned in the previous paragraph's links, Hunters Point is a playborhood. Now, all that's needed is for it to be advertised, publicized, and written about as such. Whether it be real estate brokers, residents, organizations (hello LIC Partnership), landlords, or politicians, it's time for a major marketing initiative. This is because playborhoods are nearly impossible to find in 2016 in the U.S., and it takes a herculean effort to actually create one in today's screen-obsessed world. Thus, one more reason to live in LIC.
//POKE: a raw fish salad, similar to a tartare or even ceviche, though typically less acidic
Ramen is sooo 2014. Though it's still delicious, I only have it delivered and wouldn't be caught seen in a ramen joint or mention it in conversation. Nor would anyone who wants to be like the Kardashians.
Nope, today's hot culinary fad is poke, and Long Island City is about to get it's first poke restaurant with the opening of PokeLICious. It will be located at 5-37 51st Avenue in the storefront previously occupied by the Beer Closet. Aloha!
//THE handball/tennis courts on 48th Avenue have officially re-opened. Park signs have been posted requesting only handballs and tennis balls be used on the wall, so as not to cause damage to it or the playing surface (aka, no baseballs, hockey pucks, etc.).
//"LET it never be said that a QNS writer turned down an opportunity to be plied with more booze"
Fair Warning: We don't do formal restaurant reviews at LICtalk. If there's a place, new or old, that we've attended and are thrilled about, we'll selectively give a shout out. We'll also exuberantly blabber on about restaurants coming soon that we think will be a big addition to the neighborhood.
Nor does LICtallk accept any sponsored content, just like our contemporaries The New Yorker and The New York Times. Needless to say, if ever given the opportunity to gorge on crab, lobster, rib-eye, blueberry cheesecake and triple-chocolate cake, washed down with beer flights, tiki cocktails, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blancs, Sancerres, Bordeaux, and dessert wines gratis, our response would be 'Ply me to the moon.' Just don't expect me to write an objective piece about it the next day.
The Anti-Helicopter Parent's Plea: Let Kids Play! – "Even if a boy wanted to play outside, Mike explains, with whom would he play? At any given hour, there might be a 30 percent chance that some kid was playing outside. But the so-called network effect, in which children influence one another's behavior, means that 30 percent might as well be zero, because it is low enough that no boy can count on it and so will default to his screen — causing the percentage to drop lower. That is, kids don't play outside because other kids don't play outside. Playing outside becomes like Betamax — it's just obsolete. But in the case of a playborhood, the vicious circle transforms into a virtuous one: When there's always another kid to play with, most kids want to play."
Beloved Long Island City Restaurant Reopens, Rebranded as 'Crabhouse' – "Our night at Crabhouse was wonderful and full of great drinks, amazing food …you'd be hard-pressed to find a bad thing about Crabhouse."
Full Reveal For 5-Story Condo Building on 5th Street Across from Duane Reade – looks very high end with 8 residences averaging almost 1,400 a sq ft. each. Plus ground floor retail w/ very high ceilings

Full fields for My Lady's Manor races
by Peter McGivney / April 11, 2012 / Published in News
The 102nd My Lady's Manor meet kicks off Maryland's classic timber-racing series on Saturday, April 14, and the featured $30,000 My Lady's Manor attracted a bulging field of 14 entries, including the past two timber champions and the two immediate past winners. First post time for the three-race program in Monkton will be 1:30 p.m.
All three races attracted packed fields. The $10,000 John Rush Streett amateur maiden timber had 19 entries, with 13 remaining after early scratches, and the $7,500 John D. Schapiro Memorial amateur apprentice timber race had a prospective field of 12.
Topping the My Lady's Manor field will be Merriefield Farm's Bon Caddo, winner of last year's three-mile My Lady's Manor and 2011 champion timber horse. After winning the My Lady's Manor, the Bon Point gelding won the Virginia Gold Cup in May and finished second in the Pennsylvania Hunt Cup in November. Trained by Dawn Williams, Bon Caddo will be ridden by Christopher Read.
Never to be ignored is three-time champion Bubble Economy, who missed the 2011 racing season after securing the 2010 timber title with consecutive victories in the Virginia Gold Cup and the Mason Houghland Memorial at the Iroquois Steeplechase in Nashville. He also finished second in the 2010 My Lady's Manor. Owned by Arcadia Stable and trained by Jack Fisher, Bubble Economy will be ridden by Willie Dowling.
Returning for a shot at a second My Lady's Manor trophy is South Monarch, owned by the Morning Star Stables of trainer Sanna Hendriks. The Conquistador Cielo gelding won the 2010 My Lady's Manor winner after finishing second in 2009. Last year, South Monarch won the Willowdale Steeplechase over timber in Pennsylvania.
Robert A. Kinsley's Incomplete will seek to improve on a successful 2011 season in which he won the International Gold Cup and finished second in the Grand National and New Jersey Hunt Cup. Joey Elliott has the mount for trainer Ann D. Stewart.
Also among the entries is Jacqueline Ohrstrom's Professor Maxwell, winner of last fall's Genesee Valley Hunt Cup in Geneseo, N.Y. Trainer Richard Valentine named Darren Nagle to ride.

When you buy a brand new home, you will most likely make your decision based on the builder's plans or model homes, or a combination of the two. This requires careful thought and attention. It can be challenging to visualize what your home will look like when built, or imagine what it will be like to live in. It's also important to understand what is included with your purchase and what's not, down to the smallest detail.
There are two keys to successful home buying from plans and models. First and foremost, make sure you're dealing with a professional home builder or their sales staff – individuals who answer your questions thoroughly, don't pressure you and are clearly interested in helping you find the home that best meets your needs and circumstances. If you don't feel comfortable with the builder or their staff, you should probably look for a different company to do business with. Secondly, don't rush. Take time to consider all aspects of your purchase, and ask lots of questions. The more information you have, the easier it is to eliminate uncertainties and feel confident when you do make a decision.
Look closely at the overall quality of builders' model homes, from design and construction to finishing touches. While the model home may be only one of many designs offered by the builder, it provides a clear indication of what you can expect when you buy from the company. Ask for a list of specifications, so you can find out what construction materials, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and finishing materials the builder is using. Check who the manufacturers are—ideally they should be familiar and reputable brand names that offer a solid product warranty.
Most home builders offer a range of new home styles, floor plans, sizes and prices. Bringing your "needs and wants list" to the sales office helps the salesperson to zero in on the home that would be most suitable for you. When you find a plan or model you like, imagine living in it. How will it work for your family's daily routine? Would it be suitable for any special activities you enjoy? Adaptable to future needs? Would you want to modify the layout? Often builders can reconfigure interior spaces.
Room size can be difficult to judge. Rooms that look adequate on paper may be too cramped once your furniture is in. Sometimes, windows, doors, a fireplace and traffic paths limit furniture placement, even in a large space. If you are buying from plans, use a model home for comparison to get a sense of space and flow, or use the sales office to get a gauge on dimensions. Know the measurements of your furniture so you can determine more easily if a room is the right size. Alternatively, use cut-outs, scaled to size, to test the placement of your furniture on a printed house plan. You may also want to draw the traffic pattern through the home to see if there are any awkward spaces. Increasingly, new home builders are turning to computer graphics to help purchasers to visualize what they are buying—for instance, 3D floor plans and computer-generated drawings using a manufacturer's "real" products. A virtual show home can be available 24/7, and with cinematic renderings, the builder can create a fluid presentation of the home. Ask if these sales aids are available, or check on the builder's website.
A new home comes complete with a range of standard features and finishes that are included in the basic price of the home. These vary from one builder to another, and often from one home design to another. Uniformly, though, the quality of today's standard products is excellent, offering home buyers great value for the money.
For a number of standard items, home buyers are offered choices that won't affect the purchase price, such as the style of kitchen cabinets and the colour and design of floor coverings.
Remember that many model homes will include a number of upgrades, so as you tour the model, ask to have these pointed out. Be sure to ask the sales representative what the standard items are in every case.
Most builders offer a full range of upgrades – products of a higher quality such as thicker carpeting, premium countertops, or full exterior brick cladding. Upgrades will add to the price of the house, but typically the builder will credit you with the cost of the item you are replacing, so the extra expense is limited to the difference between the items. Finally, many builders will also encourage you to consider other features and finishing touches, large and small, that can add value, enjoyment and convenience to your home.
These options are considered extras, and the cost will be added to the price of the home.
So how do you choose the features and finishes that are right for your home, budget and lifestyle? Begin by finding out exactly what standard features are included in the basic price of the home, and how many standard choices the builder offers. Similarly, find out about upgrades and extras: What is available and at what additional cost?
• Review your home buying budget so you know how much you are comfortable spending.
• Choose the upgrades and extras that matter the most to you, and that fit within your budget. Items that involve construction, such as larger windows and doors, are the least expensive and disruptive to do when the house is first being built. On the other hand, standard carpeting can easily be replaced in the future.
• Large home building companies may have a separate design centre with product samples and trained specialists to assist you. Smaller companies may dedicate part of their sales office or model home to product selections.
• Some builders have set up working relationships with manufacturers and suppliers (e.g. flooring, lighting, cabinets). Appointments are made for you to visit the showrooms of these businesses and work directly with their representatives to make your product selections.
• Consider your family's needs and match your selections with your lifestyle. For instance, white kitchen cupboards may not be ideal in a house full of children, while lever door handles are great for anyone with mobility impairment. Also, consider if your choices are compatible with your belongings—for instance, does the colour of the hardwood flooring work with your dining room set?
• Plan for long-term appeal. Designers suggest that you keep the "big ticket items" neutral, and add colour through items you can change easily later without significant expense.
• Ask about the builder's most popular features; it can be helpful to find out what other home buyers have selected. And take your time. You are going to live with your choices for a long time, so you want to do it right.

Philips to Acquire Intact Vascular
HFACULTY
Royal Philips a global leader in health technology, today announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Intact Vascular, Inc., a U.S.-based developer of medical devices for minimally-invasive peripheral vascular procedures. Intact Vascular will enhance Philips' image-guided therapy portfolio, combining Philips' interventional imaging platform and diagnostic and therapeutic devices with Intact Vascular's unique, specialized implantable device to optimize the treatment of patients with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
PAD develops when plaque builds up in arteries and reduces blood flow to the limbs, most commonly the legs. It affects more than 200 million people worldwide [1]. PAD symptoms include recurrent fatigue, leg pain, and foot or leg wounds that do not heal or heal very slowly. Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) is an advanced stage of PAD and is typically associated with high rates of amputation and mortality.
"Acquiring Intact Vascular will expand our portfolio of minimally invasive therapy options for Peripheral Artery Disease with the Tack Endovascular System [2], a much-needed implant that effectively restores blood flow in small limb vessels, promotes healing and preserves limbs," said Chris Landon, Senior Vice President and General Manager Image-Guided Therapy Devices at Philips. "Through the integration of our interventional imaging systems and diagnostic and therapeutic devices, we will be able to provide clinicians with a complete procedural solution to optimize the treatment of patients with this disease."
Philips' market-leading peripheral vascular portfolio already includes advanced interventional imaging systems for precision guidance; intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters to assess the location of the disease and lesion morphology and guide and confirm the treatment; peripheral atherectomy devices to remove blockages; and peripheral therapy devices, such as Philips' Stellarex drug-coated balloon, to treat lesions.
Intact Vascular will strengthen this portfolio with the Tack Endovascular System, which reinforces standard and drug-coated balloon PAD treatment results. Intact Vascular's Tack [2] implant is a first-of-its-kind, minimal-metal, dissection repair device that provides precision treatment of peripheral arterial dissections following balloon angioplasty in above-the-knee (ATK) and below-the-knee (BTK) therapeutic interventions [3]. The Tack implant leaves less metal behind compared to stents, preserving future treatment options and ultimately preserving limbs. Moreover, Intact Vascular's Tack implant offers a solution for repairing dissections and optimizing post-angioplasty outcomes in the challenging CLI patient population.
"We are excited about the strategic fit between our team, expertise and unique therapeutic device, and Philips' Image-Guided Therapy business," said Bruce Shook, President, and CEO of Intact Vascular. "We share the same vision of complete procedural solutions to improve existing procedures and expand treatment options. We look forward to completing the transaction and working closely with Philips on a seamless transition."
The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2020. Philips will acquire Intact Vascular for an upfront cash consideration of USD 275 million (approx. EUR 234 million), and deferred payments for which the company expects to recognize a provision of USD 85 million (approx. EUR 72 million) upon completion of the transaction.
Intact Vascular was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania, in the U.S. On completion of the transaction, Intact Vascular will become part of Philips' Image-Guided Therapy business.

Boletus amyloideus is a rare species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. It was described as new to science in 1975 by mycologist Harry D. Thiers, from collections made in California. It fruit bodies have a convex to somewhat flattened reddish-brown cap measuring  in diameter. The pore surface on the cap underside is bright yellow, with small angular pores and tubes measuring 4–8 mm long. The spore print is olive-brown; basidiospores are smooth, amyloid, spindle shaped to ellipsoid, and have dimensions of 13–16 by 4.5–5.5 µm. The bolete is known only from coastal California, where it grows on the ground in mixed forests. Its edibility is unknown.

Recently I had the honor of being interviewed by award-winning author and entrepreneur, Ndeye Labadens. We discussed my books and the importance of good editing. Anyone who is an author, or would like to become one wants to present their best efforts.
Based on your experience after a few books. (specify the number of books with a brief presentation). What would you tell newbies, writer?
At the present time, I have published six award-winning children's books, although my first book, Tails of Sweetbrier, was replaced by a new, expanded version. The titles of my books include; My Life at Sweetbrier, Charlie the Horse, Charlene the Star, Charlene the Star and Hattie's Heroes, and Charlene the Star and Bentley Bulldog. Each book focuses on powerful life lessons for young readers such as, perseverance, setting goals, or helping others.
The objective of my first book was to encourage children not to fear new challenges, or new adventures that other people may say are impossible. My parents always told each of their children that many things can be changed if you persevere and that you can't tell what you can do until you try. I think many children don't receive enough encouragement to follow their dreams.
I'm a graduate of two courses with the Institute of Children's Literature. I learned a great deal about which elements you need to include in a well-written children's story. For example, you must present a problem early in the story that your main character must solve. After the course, I gained more confidence about my writing abilities and was able to edit my book. Early in my writing career, I found it necessary to edit my work many times so my best work was well-prepared for publication.
If you were able to email yourself in the past what would be the most important thing you would like to write to you before your first launch?
I would have told myself that promotion before the launch is essential because readers must know you are planning a new book well before it is released.
Where would any member of my audience find you for your services?
Thank you very much for chatting with me today. I enjoyed spending time with you and look forward to hearing from your audience.
See you at the next Promotion events!

The catalogs for the 100/10 (100 days/10 visions) project are an homage to many of the ICI's favorite people and things: W. G. Sebald, his poem After Nature, The New Museum in New York. Modeled on that museum's catalog for their 2008 exhibition After Nature, this book also owes allegiance to Aby Warburg (1866-1929). Under the dustcover you'll find a "good neighbor," a book that impacted the curator of this project iteration (and so, a different title for each participant) even though that book's influence may not be immediately apparent in the exhibition photos that are sprinkled within its pages. Warburg, lamenting the possible loss of open stacks in public libraries, argued that when looking for a desired book on a library shelf it is often its neighbor that first draws your attention, its good neighbor that holds the answer you are seeking.
This catalog can be purchased in the ICI gift shop for $25.

Abstracts: Responses To Sexual Violence: Effecting Change In Higher Education
Responses To Sexual Violence: Effecting Change In Higher Education
Anne Chappell(presenting / submitting)Charlotte Jones(presenting)
22 SES 02 D,
Jo Rose
This paper draws on current research being undertaken as part of the European Commission co-funded 'Universities Supporting Victims of Sexual Violence' project (USVSV). Grounded in long-standing research by members of the team, the project aims to enhance the ability of university staff to respond to disclosures of sexual violence (SV) from students. The project includes thirteen universities across seven European countries. This paper focuses on the research being conducted at one university in England and is, therefore, situated within a UK context.
Conversations about sexual harassment and misconduct in the higher education (HE) sector are becoming more visible globally, alongside a related rise in student feminist activity (Hilton, 2013) and recent media and policy interest. University students and young women are especially at risk of gendered and sexual violence (Bigila and Velasco; 2012; Feltes et al., 2012; Marshall, 2014; Phipps and Smith, 2012; Schroeder, 2014). Additionally, in the UK and other European countries, students are an under-served population in terms of support services (Feltes et al., 2012; Phipps and Smith, 2012; Sundaram, 2014). This led to work such as the survey by the UK's National Union of Students (NUS, 2010) that reported a high prevalence of sexual harassment and violence against women at university, revealing that only 4 per cent of women students who had experienced serious sexual assault reported this to their university. In a follow-up report (NUS, 2013; Phipps and Young, 2015) it was suggested that conventional modes of competitiveness and misogyny were being shaped by neoliberal consumerist and sexual values in the university environment. A Universities UK (UUK) taskforce which formed in response to the NUS research acknowledged that whilst some students had 'experienced episodes of harassment, hate crime, or sexual violence', there was a concern that 'their university may not always have responded effectively' (Universities UK, 2016:1). A lack of clear institutional procedures, care pathways and appropriate support can produce secondary victimisation amongst students who experience this violence (Orchowski and Gidycz 2012, Phipps & Smith, 2012). There is also an international consensus that effective victim identification, care and support programmes can contribute towards reducing violence (World Health Organization, 2014). In recognition of this, the taskforce report repeatedly urged for a 'systematic institutional response, including an institution-wide reporting procedure' (2016:37). It is in this context that the research developed.
The research question considered in this paper is 'what constitutes an effective programme to support staff receiving disclosures of sexual violence from university students?'. The university programme, that has been developed in-house, is to support 'first responders' in how to recognise SV victims/survivors and support students after disclosure, ensuring that they are treated with respect, dignity and sensitivity to their specific needs, and have access to criminal justice avenues if they wish. The programme has been developed with a large steering group, consisting of staff from a range of academic, managerial and welfare roles, as well as current students. The group has met monthly to discuss the national and local context and design the programme. This has been key to developing an institutionally relevant programme. The evaluation of the programme contribute's towards a more supportive and knowledgeable university environment concerning issues of sexual violence and harassment. The findings of the research benefit (potential) victims/survivors of sexual violence, contribute to the development of a sustainable approach to staff and institutional recognition of these matters, as well as ensuring that 'first responders' are well informed and adequately supported throughout the disclosure process.
The research presented in this paper is based upon the evaluation of a programme for University staff 'development' to enhance their responses to disclosures of sexual violence by students. The data is drawn from a pilot study with 80 members of staff. The intention of the evaluation was to analyse the perceptions of staff before, during and after the sessions attended, and the collated suggestions about what was effective and how the programme might be improved. However, whilst developing the programme and evaluation using an analysis of 'best practice', it became clear that traditional models for evaluating staff development were inadequate. This is because they often consist of satisfaction surveys designed by non-researchers with short closed questions and a small space for additional comment. They are normally completed by participants at the end of a session and the timing and closed nature of these surveys result in limited responses. This becomes a bureaucratic exercise relating to value for money statements rather than the quality and outcome of the educational experience. In order to understand the impact of the programme on staff within the university, it was necessary to use methods that were participant-centred and could be responsive to complexity. The research design drew on the work of Parlett and Hamilton (1972) on illuminative evaluation which enables the intensive study of a programme, explicitly taking account of the context of the programme as part of the research. The research design has been guided by feminist principles (Griffiths, 1995) and includes questionnaires to understand the needs of participants before, during and after the programme; observation of the sessions; and interviews with both participants and facilitators immediately after the sessions and several weeks later. Research diaries are also integral to the design, and have been since the outset of the project in spring 2016. These methods were chosen to enable the collation of rich data to analyse the responses of staff to the new programme, and the impact on them and their practice, whilst taking account of their context both in terms of the institution and their own prior experiences (Parlett and Hamilton, 1972). Given the sensitive nature of the focus, alongside the issues that can arise for staff in considering their practice with students, there were also a number of ethical considerations beyond those required for institutional approval, particularly in relation to ethics-in-practice (Liamputtong, 2007).
The ongoing research diaries along with data collected between May-July 2017 will be shared in this paper, and will report on the development of the programme, experiences of staff, reflections of the programme facilitators, and the observations of the researchers. These outcomes have implications for research, policy and practice at an important time given that organisations world-wide continue to raise questions about issues of sexual violence and appropriate support for victims/survivors. This is particularly important in light of the work by the European Union in relation to victims; on-going funding by the European Commission for this area of research and action; and specifically in the United Kingdom (UK), with the publication of the recent report by Universities UK, entitled 'Changing the culture: violence against women, harassment and hate crime affecting university students' (UUK, 2016) which requires universities to respond to it. The evaluation of the programme will provide the core data for the study, and the outcomes will be shared across the partnership involved in the project. These data will provide a detailed evidence base from one institution for understanding the complexities and contingencies in responding to victims/survivors of sexual violence and the most effective ways of supporting university staff in their work with students. They will provide the foundation for improvements for universities, and recommendations for the government in response to national concerns. The evaluation of the programme and the resulting development will facilitate sustainability, and inform future cultural change.

Georgia Pulse
Firing Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran Both Justified and Necessary
Georgia, Georgia Pulse, LGBT, Opinion
By Alan Wood On January 8, 2015 No Comments
Kasim Reed at Press Conference
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed just fired Chief Kelvin Cochran on Tuesday. Cochran claimed that his PRIORITY (his word) as Fire Chief of the AFD was to "cultivate its culture to the glory of God." That right there is his problem. That was most certainly should not be his priority in that job. If he wants to be a preacher on his own time, that's fine. But not as Fire Chief. Kasim Reed did the right thing, this time.
A fire chief's first priority is the safety of the city he/she is sworn and employed to protect. It is none of the chief's business what the employees think or believe in their own time, and it is obviously not in any way his business to create a culture "to the glory of God". Would you support a civil servant who wanted to create a culture to the glory of Allah or Budda? Didn't think so. How about one that ridiculed and mocked your religious beliefs and called you a pervert? Again, didn't think so.
Cochran is welcome to think, say, write or believe whatever he wants to in his private life as long as he does not inflict it on other people. He was happy to take his very generous salary and benefits – remember that big illegal payoff for his unused vacation time? – with money collected in part from gay Atlantans, but he felt that disrespecting his employers was protected because he did so under the cover of the Bible. He was wrong. He stepped over the line and became fireable when he "gave" – i.e., inflicted – his book to a wide range of subordinates in the department and disobeyed orders and protocols by not seeking approval for the book or following his gag order while suspended. As the boss, he knew that was tantamount to making them follow his own beliefs and prejudices, and was far outside the line.
Fired Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran
There was also the Fire Chief's insubordination in holding a news conference after the Mayor had expressly told him not to discuss the matter publicly. Now I would think that was grounds for firing right there alone.
A public employee who couldn't help exposing his medieval unreason as an avocation has been afforded the liberty to pursue it as his vocation. Now, that's "religious liberty"! His job was to PUT OUT FIRES….not insult those who were his subordinates. Who cares what his religious beliefs are. The work place is not where you tell others about it!
The mayor said his fire chief had failed to get the formal — and required — city approval necessary before publishing the book. More important, Reed told those gathered at a recent press conference, a man who reported directly to the mayor had not discussed the contents of the book with his boss prior to publication.
"If you work in an organization, you check in with the person who writes your check. That did not happen here," the mayor said. "I deeply resent the emails and phone calls to my wife, literally calling me an anti-Christ. And I don't mean one time, or two times. This is what Chief Cochran brought to my door."
Georgia Religious Liberty Legislation is Anything But
This all comes on the heels of the so-called "religious liberty" legislation which is nothing of the sort. A Tea Party member from Columbus named McKoon first introduced his extreme legislation during the 2014 legislative session. His attempt failed, in large part, due to Georgia-based business leaders like Coca-Cola, Delta, Home Depot, Intercontinental Hotels & UPS stepping up and speaking out for the rights of all citizens.
Now, McKoon and his cohorts are introducing the bill again with a potential compromise that's just as damaging.
Not only would McKoon and Teasley's law further protect bosses who distribute books filled with hate speech to taxpayer-funded staff at work, but a restaurateur could deny service to an out-of-wedlock mother. A cop could refuse to intervene in a domestic dispute if his religion allows for husbands beating their wives, and a hotel chain could refuse to rent rooms to Jews, Hindus, or Muslims.
It would allow physicians and nurses to refuse medical care, such as blood transfusions, that they find religiously offensive and allow government employees who adhere to extremist religions to refuse service to a person of a particular race.
Under McKoon and Teasley's law, even parents who let their children die of malnutrition, abuse or medical neglect would be even more protected — just so long as they claim that their actions are justified by a "deeply held religious belief."
Georgia's "religious liberty" legislation would be an enormous leap backwards for equality, civil rights and child protection.
The New York Times just published a great editorial called God, Gays, and the Atlanta Fire Chief I will end this article with a small snippet from their article which I think sums it up very nicely.
The First Amendment already protects religious freedom. Nobody can tell Mr. Cochran what he can or cannot believe. If he wants to work as a public official, however, he may not foist his religious views on other city employees who have the right to a boss who does not speak of them as second-class citizens.

SimpleRestart is a plugin for Bukkit (a Minecraft server wrapper) which allows server operators to simply and easily restart their server, as well as schedule automatic restarts of the server "for freshness". The plugin contains flexible yet straightforward commands, is easy to set up and use, and makes use of Permissions.
Simply copy SimpleRestart.jar and the SimpleRestart folder into the "plugins" subdirectory of your minecraft server. If you do not copy in the SimpleRestart folder, it will be created for you automatically, along with a default configuration file. Edit the configuration file (config.yml) as you see fit, then modify your server startup script so that it automatically reboots the server when it gets "/stop"ped.
auto-restart: enable / disable automatic, time-scheduled restarting. If this is set to "no" then the server will only ever restart when using the "/restart" command.
warn-times: Before the server restarts, it will send out a friendly warning to all connected players, this setting is a list that describes the amount of time (in minutes) before the server automatically reboots that players are warning. For example: warn-times: [10, 5, 2, 1] will warn players at 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 2 minutes, and 1 minute before the server reboots.
restart-message: this is the message that players will see when they are kicked from the server due to the automatic reboot. Again, color codes can be used here.
In order for this plugin to work properly, you will have to make a slight modification to your startup script (craftbukkit.bat on windows, craftbukkit.sh on Linux). This plugin works by simply scheduling regular "stops" of the server. Then when the server goes down, the startup script simply loops around and starts the server up again, with minimal mumbo-jumbo.
On Windows, to exit this infinite loop (i.e., take the server down for good), simply close the command window. On Linux, stop the server then press "Ctrl+C" to cancel the process.
/restart (h|m|s) <time>: turns automatic restarting on (if it was off) and reschedules the next automatic restart to be <time> (hours, minutes, or seconds) away from now. For example, to reboot the server in 15 minutes, use "/restart m 15". 'h' is for hours, 'm' is for minutes, and 's' is for seconds.
/restart on: turns automatic restarting on (if disabled in configuration OR via commands. Will start the scheduler from the current time based on the settings in the configuration.
1.3.1 Updated to Bukkit v1.1-R6. Added support for bPermissions and PermissionsEx.
1.2.0 Changed the scheduling system from Bukkit's internal scheduler (which gets delayed in the event of lag) to Java timers, which should be server lag-proof.
Can u make this plugin actually restart the server instead of stopping?
Is there anyway to get the source code of this plugin? Or the creator just abandoned it completely?
My experience is that it works fine during the day then the next morning I look at my server and it says stopped and it doesn't restart it. I use multicraft on mcprohost.
Can someone please tell me how to use this on multicraft?
If you are using a hsot there is no startup script being used.
SO thia does not work with hosts often.
But multictaft automaticly restarts servers wehn they go down, unless you stop it through the control panel.
It kicks all players, but then doesnt restart. Thats my experience at least.
did u have a restart script?
This plugin just stopped my server. It did not restart it. It has been down for hours now because I was away. Why was this?
It isn't working for me. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I'm hosting it from a host?
Is the 1.3.1-R2 jar functioning with Minecraft 1.6.4/1.7.2?
I believe that if you look in your script, you will find the word "PAUSE", remove that.

Foreign tourists cancel trips to Burma after bombings
October 16, 2013 in Archives, Lead Story, News31by THIKE ZIN
Travel agencies in Burma are facing losses as many foreign tourists have cancelled their planned visits to the country after a spate of bombings claimed two lives and injured an American woman.
It follows reports that a number of western governments, including the US, the UK, Australia and France, have issued travel warnings to their citizens, in some cases advising against all but essential travel.
Aye Kyaw, executive director of the Rubyland Tourism Services said many travellers, mostly from European countries, had cancelled their trips to the country citing fears for their safety in the wake of a bomb attack at the prestigious Traders Hotel in downtown Rangoon on Monday.
"The problem is the bomb actually went off inside a hotel room which means it's not safe for people to even stay indoors – the issue is becoming significantly pressing," Aye Kyaw told DVB.
"When tourists cancel their trips, we have to refund them money but at the same time, we have already paid fees in advance for booking at hotels and airlines and in the end, we are the ones who face the most losses."
Aye Kyaw said that the tour operators quite often end up not getting refunds from hotels and airlines and urged the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism to issue directives to facilitate a compromise.
The UK government has warned that there is a "high threat from terrorism" in Burma and urged its citizens to avoid travel to any regions affected by ethnic violence, including Arakan, Kachin and Shan states.
Meanwhile, the US embassy has urged "caution" but insisted that there was "no indication" that Americans were being specifically targeted.
Aye Mra Thar, an official at Myanmar Airways International, said it was too early to tell what kind of impact it could have on their business.
"We have not seen much decline in passengers as the [bombing] took place just a couple of days ago – so far our flights are continuing as usual," said Aye Mra Thar.
A senior official at the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism echoed these sentiments.
"So far the situation is normal – we haven't heard of any airline flights being cancelled – but we will have to wait and see what the impact will be," said the official.
"Also, the culprit for the Traders bombing has [already] been caught – the news will fade away in a matter of time."
On Tuesday, police announced that they had arrested a 26-year-old man in connection with the violence, while another is wanted for questioning. But no group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which have targeted locations around the country in a string of low-intensity, home-made bombs since Friday.
The Ministry of Hotels and Tourism has previously expressed hopes that around 2 million tourists would come to Burma in 2013, as the country continues to open its doors to foreigners. According to government statistics, some 1.1 million tourists had visited the country as of September this year.
