Film Location Sites in All Regions are the sets and scenery that will be photographed outside of a motion picture studio. Filming locations may range from mountainous terrains to seaside cabanas and elaborate European palaces. Once a script is production ready, the Director breaks down the project by storyboarding scenes, so that locations and action are depicted in greater visual detail than the script provides on its own. So locations allow the Director to add his viewpoint to the production.

Мирово је насеље у Србији у општини Бољевац у Зајечарском округу. Према попису из 2011. било је 140 становника (према попису из 2002. било је 183 становника).

Географија

Мирово се налази у подножју планине Ртањ, у долини Мировске реке (Мировштица), једне од притока Црног Тимока. На западу се граничи са атаром села Луково и Јабланица, на северу атаром села Мали Извор, на југу са Шарбановцем, а на истоку са атаром Бољевца, Илина и Ртња. Рељеф је брдско-планински са највишом тачком од 1.565 метара (Шиљак).

Осим Мировске реке кроз катастарску општину пролази и Селски поток од кога се ствара познати Бољевачки поток - Змијанац.

Мирово је четврто најмање насеље општине Бољевац са само око 150 становника. Јужно од села се налази чувена планина Ртањ са највишим врхом у општини.

Ртањ

Планина се нагло диже из равнице и завршава скоро правилном купом, па многи верују да је и Ртањ пирамида слична онима у суседној Босни. Ртањ је у подножју углавном састављен од пешчара и стена, а у вишим деловима од кречњака. Са јужне стране падови су благи и према подножју се простире висораван која се лагано спушта ка Соко Бањи. На северној страни Ртањ је изразито одсечен са оштрим гребеном при врху. На источном крају гребена, уздиже се главни врх Шиљак. Северна страна планине прекривена је шумама и пашњацима, обрасла аутохтоним биљним врстама и обилује изворима питке воде. У Овом делу се налази и ловиште које се простире на 6368 -{ha}-. Најчешћа ловна дивљач су срне и дивље свиње.

Ртањ је "познат" по том што своје посетиоце мучи жеђу. Сва вода отиче кроз кречњак, понире, а онда, у нижим деловима, избија у јаким врелима по ивици планине. У подножју се налазе леденице из којих је могуће извадити лед који се формира услед непрекидне промаје која обара температуру у леденици. Ртањ је чувен и по афродизијачкој трави од које се прави чувени ртањски чај. Све донедавно биле су организоване бербе ртањског чаја, али одскоро је на снази забрана брања зато што је забрињавајуће проређена.

Демографија
У насељу Мирово живи 164 пунолетна становника, а просечна старост становништва износи 54,7 година (53,7 код мушкараца и 55,5 код жена). У насељу има 76 домаћинстава, а просечан број чланова по домаћинству је 2,41.

Ово насеље је великим делом насељено Србима (према попису из 2002. године), а у последња три пописа, примећен је пад у броју становника.

WE ARE 100% BACK POST HURRICANES!!!! ST. THOMAS AND THE USVI ARE ALSO READY. See pictures in gallery area taken 12/12/2017 also we have recent reviews that will give you further perspective. I wanted to share some of my first hand observations of our island (St. Thomas, USVI), my last visit was 1/11/2018. I am amazed at the amount of work that has been done to clean up. I am also happy to know that most everyone has power again. Seeing some of the destruction is very sad, but I truly admire the speed of clean up and recovery. More importantly, I saw great attitudes by just about everyone I talked with. The roads have some pot holes, and some of the street lights are not working yet. Overall, driving is mostly back to normal. I did not experience power outages while there this time, but I think it is important to be prepared for those. On the other hand, seeing all the new power-lines installed everywhere (with a new poll system) is truly fascinating and admirable. Tourist activities are all happening and I saw taxi's everywhere! Grocery stores are 100% stocked up, specifically Food Center and Moe's (both close to our condo) are 100%.	I would say at least 90% of restaurants & bars are fully functional. I had great meals at Island Time, XO, Hook Line & Sinker, Sunset Grille, Gladys' and Lattes in Paradise. The beaches were better than ever. Clean and ready to be enjoyed. I personally checked out Magen's, Lindquist and of course our very own Sapphire. At least 90% of shops were open and ready for business. I drove through downtown and got stuck in traffic due to the amount of activity with cruise ships in town. Yes, some of the resorts will be closed for a while, but the rest of us and the cruise ship companies will keep tourism alive and growing. I was pleased to see tourists. I also saw the excursion boats ready for business and anxious to show everyone our beautiful neighbors, snorkeling destinations and the amazing fishing we are known for. In summary, I know that we do not look the same as before the two hurricanes, but we are really good. Our "really good" is better than most other places, and therefore I am proud to welcome guests back to our condo and Island. OUR REGULAR DESCRIPTION: Our unit is fully furnished and comfortably sleeps 4 guests in two fully furnished bedrooms. Amenities include two full bathrooms, a full-sized kitchen, a large living area, two balconies with waterfront views. Modern conveniences of a townhome such as air conditioning, cable TV, ceiling fans and phones are also available. Housekeeping services with fresh towels and linens are provided during your stay. The property has a multi-level freshwater pool that overlooks the Caribbean Sea beach. The condominium is steps away from a wonderful sparkling beach stretching a half mile long. There are plenty of activities to keep you busy whether your preference is relaxing in the sun, riding the waves, snorkeling, paddling, sitting under an umbrella or building a sand castle. Care to try your hand at water sports? Deep sea diving, jet skiing, snorkeling and water excursions are available through vendors at our marina. Our condo is within 5 minutes to Red Hook, an intimate commercial strip packed with novelty stores, clothing shops, bars and restaurants. Passenger and vehicle ferry service to St. John and the British Virgin Islands is also available from Red Hook. As a two bedroom, that is in immaculate condition, we are the best deal at the waterfront of Sapphire Beach!

Modern man caves focus on solace, sports and luxury
The concept of the man cave is evolving. It used to simply be a space all his own, where all manner of sporting and automotive paraphernalia remains hidden from view, where he and his pals can watch what they want on TV and relish in their manliness far from feminine eyes. These days, men can be every bit if not more astute as their female counterparts in creating spaces that rival the rest of the house in both luxury and fun.
"One type of man cave is set up like a garage with cabinets and metal inserts, old gas pumps, more of a hang-out with your buddies and look at cars, while others are a little more sophisticated," says Norman Bloxham of Luxury Home Solutions.
"There are man caves and then there are man caves." Luxury Home Solutions built the latter in a paradise inspired stone grotto of epic proportions. It is the embodiment of a quintessential man cave bucket list, fulfilled. The homeowner wanted a game room, shuffle board court, darts, pool table, bar, wine room and piano bar among other wish list items, plus being able to come home to a steam room and sauna after a long day at work. To achieve this tall order, Mr. Bloxham and his team rocked the project, literally. From bottom to top, they built a rock retreat that looks as sturdy as it does luxurious.
"We also did some special things with baseboard and colonial trim so the rock could go right to the bottom of the crown molding, and we created a separate system for the wine room and you can go right into a little theater where you can watch TV," he says. "Between all of those functions, he's even got a misting system." Mr. Bloxham had built the client's home, so when they called to request an in-law suite, he went to the home and crafted a wish list and a must list. Next, the most important step in designing a man cave happened: penciling it out.
"The conceptual drawing is really important as you're dreaming of this special place so in the drawing the customer can see what they were envisioning on paper — that's where the best man caves begin," says Mr. Bloxham. "To create a man cave, you need to sit down with someone who is very, very creative and who thinks outside of the box."
Mr. Bloxham's clients wanted a walk-in wine cooler for a place to house their wine collection. He designed the room to light from the floor, along with cypress ceilings and chandelier. The homeowners wanted a piano bar, so whether they wanted to have it auto play or have a pianist entertain, the piano could be heard throughout the stereo system.
"They also wanted to be sure their new addition didn't look like an addition, but part of the house, so we used all the same features and characteristics to enable the addition to flow naturally right off the family room into the game room," says Mr. Bloxham. And like most man caves, they are so cool everyone wants to use them— kids, wives, in-laws, buddies — Mr. Bloxham's homeowners love that this is where everyone wants to be. There is also a guest suite with an attached separate door to go outside with sleeping quarters.
Weber Design Group in Naples has designed several masculine rooms including a game room, super cool roadhouse garage and bar they designed specifically with men in mind. "We love working closely with our clients to develop rooms of great interest, whether man cave, sewing and craft room, or simply an intimate place to play music or read," says Weber Design Group President Bill Weber, who has seen it all from virtual golf simulators to bowling lanes.
In one of the man caves he designed, a built-in wet bar and zero-corner glass sliders combine with gender-neutral furnishings and easy accessibility to kitchen and outdoor living areas. The Weber Design Group game room has a billiards table, wet bar with double wine fridges and built in entertainment center with surround sound and pocketing glass sliders. Perhaps his most striking man cave project is the roadhouse pub/garage within a private motor court in a detached garage with guest living quarters above it featuring a dedicated
motorcycle garage, collector car storage and roadhouse pub with built-in bar and stage.
In the Minto Turnberry Grand model at TwinEagles, this manly room has a massive television (required for any respectable man cave). However, this room has several other facets that up the cool factor. A luxurious layout of double couches provides optimum comfort for viewing the big game. The wet bar is near game tables with a large balcony lanai with seating that overlooks the Eagle golf course.
Furnishing the man cave Vivian Armenti knows that furnishing a man cave requires interesting pieces that are also functional. Featured in her Miromar Design Center showroom are Henredon, Barbara Barry Realized by Henredon, Drexel Heritage, Hickory Chair, Lane Venture, Pearson, Maitland Smith and La Barge.
"We have bars, decorative games, poker or foosball tables and handsome upholstery and occasional pieces such as our infamous alligator side table," she says. Such pieces can help define the theme of a man cave and add character, helping transform a drab space into something special.
Tonino Lamborghini CASA collection is produced in cooperation with Formitalia Luxury Group S.p.a., which includes furnishings that look like works of art. While Tonino Lamborghini's name is synonymous with luxury given his family's history with the iconic Lamborghini, the furniture company is not affiliated with the automotive arm of the same name, which is now part of the AUDI-VW AG group. However, it's easy to see mechanical inspirations. Materials used include high-tech materials like carbon fiber, Kevlar trim, satin-finish steel and metal braids. The furniture group is more than 30 years old and its location in the Palazzo del Vignola Renaissance villa outside Bologna is reflected in the sultry, masculine nature of the materials.
Some men simply need a space to be more man cave, less office. Clive Daniel designer Wilfredo Emanuel is often called up to transform spare rooms into what he calls the 'Floridian cave man office'. "The contemporary man cave must be a space that holds the devices a man, especially our busy executives here in Southwest Florida will need to run his business remotely," says Mr. Emanuel. "Today with all the technology, smaller, cleaner furnishings is more suited for men."
Wine and sports rule Interiors by Design West President and CEO Glenn Midnet is a fan of wine bars in man caves. He says for men who enjoy wine, wine bars can be incorporated into very small space but still provide enormous impact. "You want to keep the space practical for the owner's lifestyle and consider what the man likes, his hobbies, what he will be using the space for and the aesthetics," says Mr. Midnet. "From an esthetic point of view, the space should be visually pleasing and create a focal point, while from a practical stand point, the room needs to function well and accommodate your guests, whether you are entertaining a few friends or having a large super bowl party."
Laverne Gehman built a man caveesque game room for himself complete with Harley-Davidson and Tony Stewart memorabilia. "What made doing my own man space fun was that I did not have to worry about how the final outcome may be judged by anyone else," he says. could do whatever my heart desired and the theme dictated, so the fun elements included black and white checkerboard,
"Victory Lane" tile floor and orange and gray compatible with the Harley-Davidson logo for a wall accent." Sometimes the man cave requires compromise. The challenge for Herscoe Hajjar Architects in building a VIP game room in their client's Port Royal home was to create a space that did double duty. The room had to work both as a man cave for the men in the homeowner's friends and family circle, but could also function as a fun space for other age groups. What resulted was this sleek game room with entertainment area and L-shaped bar with seating for five.
"The primary purpose for the design of this room was a man's retreat for a group of friends, who meet regularly, for weekly gatherings," says Rob Herscoe, AIA of Herscoe Hajjar Architects. "The challenge for the architects was that the room had to be flexible enough for kids and guests to use at other times."
A host of do's and don'ts factor into building the perfect man cave. Mr. Bloxham cautions that what you don't want in your man cave is as important as what you do want to include in it. "Do have a budget in mind," he says. "And for homeowners who aren't sure what they want, make sure you work with someone who can do some creative conceptual drawing."
Planning a man cave of your own? This February, designers Diane Torrisi and Dirk Anderson will team up to discuss the psychology of the sexes in designing home spaces and share their design experience. The "Man Cave vs. the She Shed" seminar will take place at Miromar Design Center in February 2016.

This is a nice one for Memorial Day or 4th of July. This old picture shows a young girl wearing a patriotic costume, including a crown and a large American flag. Such nice sepia tones here!
I love your blog and visit it daily. I was surprised (to say the least) when I saw todays image of the young lady with the flag. I believe this photo came from a stereograph by F.G.Weller of Littleton, NH. He is the brother of my great-grandfather and the picture that you posted is of FG Weller's daughter, Fontinelle Weller.
Thanks for all the wonderful images that you post!
Oh, that's so interesting!! You are absolutely correct this is from an old stereograph card. The majority of my images come from my own collections, but occasionally I do use images from archived sources, this is one of those images. I generally clean them up a bit before posting to give my readers the best quality images possible, that's why you are seeing this as a single image. Thanks so much for your comment, and for the background info on your ancestor, dear little Fontinelle!
Love her!! Her crown is great!
Charming image. But she has such an odd expression with a hint of a frown? Wonder what's going through her mind? But a lovely image and you're right, the sepia tones are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing!

Episode 17 – Mia Taylor – on being told at 21 "you're too good at Admin" to become a Financial Adviser to becoming an Award Winning star on the rise!
Mia's story begins like most of ours, and in particular, like most females in Financial Planning – in that she didn't set out to become a Planner, she sort of 'fell' into the role…. but where others may be happy to just bide their time, and wait for their employer to provide an opportunity to develop themselves – Mia decided very early on, that if she wanted to become a Financial Planner, then she needed to take hold of her own development, because the industry won't do it for her!
Starting out with a goal to become a Fashion Designer could give you a false perception that Mia's journey into Financial Planning was one driven more by financial reward than one driven by a passion to help others – but it would be a classic Financial Services industry mistake to make… a narrow mindset… because the thing you'll learn from listening to Mia is she is nothing if not honest and authentic.. to herself and to the industry.
That's why, when she realised that her inner nerd love for numbers and people, told her it was the right thing to leave her career in Fashion on the factory cutting floor, she didn't beat herself up about it forever…she just backed herself in and jumped! With a mindset of "what's the worst thing that could happen"… that mindset of "give it a go" and "why not" is what has taken Mia to the heights that she's achieved at such a young age – including winning a very prestigious "Rising Star" award (that certain podcast hosts tried to win but didn't even make the finalists…. but let's move on!).
In our Podcast you'll hear how Mia's belief in herself has grown since being nominated for, and ultimately winning the Rising Star award. She is also really grateful for the support and opportunity that she has had from working with the fantastic team at Evalesco, and is already looking to give back to the Industry in general by helping other young Planners (in particular young Female Planners) make their own opportunities and find ways to develop themselves. She also shares how her Planning conversations have evolved to now include a "Health & Happiness" component which has led to more open and in depth conversations with clients, and how she handles these new ways to engage with clients.
Mia is a role model for young Planners everywhere… looking back to when she was told "you're too good at what you do – so we need you to stay in this role" she sees that moment as a pivotal one in her career. Too many young aspiring planners in an administration role, would get that news and sit back and just wait it out – thinking the industry or the practice I'm in will develop me… not Mia. Because sometimes it not about making the most of the few opportunities you get, Mia teaches us all that if we want success we have to go out and chase it!
Oh..and she takes no 'fashion responsibility' for the Evalesco's love of wearing Football jersey's in the office…. you can take the girl out of Fashion Design, but you can't the the Fashion Designer out of the girl!.
NextEpisode 18 – Benjamin Marshan – started out carving up Cadaver's – and now he carves up Reg's and Leg's to improve the world of Financial Advice for all of us!

New nurses to be mentored by retired staff in Scotland
By Jo StephensonReporter
Newly qualified nurses and midwives will be mentored by recently retired NHS staff, under a pilot scheme due to launch in Scotland next year.
The programme, which will focus on midwifery, health visiting, district nursing and advanced practice, will see up to 100 retired nurses train as "professional practice advisers", in order to share their knowledge and experience with new NHS recruits.
"We need to look at ways we can effectively help our newly qualified nurses and midwives"
Jeane Freeman
Government ministers said the scheme supported a £40m commitment to boost the nursing and midwifery workforce in Scotland, including creating an extra 2,600 posts.
"To support our plans to significantly grow the NHS workforce, we need to look at ways we can effectively help our newly qualified nurses and midwives to reach their full potential," said Scotland's health secretary Jeane Freeman.
"We also have a number of nursing and midwifery staff who have recently retired, but want to continue to provide service and support to newly qualified nurses and midwives," she said.
Ms Freeman said the pilot programme was one of the ways that could be used to help retain the skills of experienced staff.
"Experienced, retired staff have a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience, and, more importantly, confidence in using these abilities," she said.
She added: "We don't want valuable experience to be lost and this pilot is an excellent way to explore how we can use the knowledge of retired staff to support recently qualified employees."
The programme is among a number of measures the Scottish government is already taking in bid to expand the nursing workforce.
This includes a commitment to retain bursaries and free tuition for nursing and midwifery students, which have been scrapped in England.
In addition, in January it announced an increase in student intakes for 2018-19 by 10.8% – an extra 364 places.

The Scottish government has also pledged £5m over three years for wider measures, including retraining former nurses and midwives and promoting nursing careers.
Other steps include funding for 500 advanced nurse practitioners and 500 extra health visitors by the end of 2021, and the introduction of Best Start – a five-year plan to maternity and neonatal services, which recognises the key role of midwives.

However, despite such efforts, latest figures published in August by the Scottish government show the number of nursing and midwifery staff is projected to increase by less than 0.01% in 2018-19 – the equivalent of just 19.1 full-time roles across the country.
The figures, provided by NHS boards and national bodies to help inform workforce plans, will see nursing and midwifery numbers drop in some areas, while others are predicting a slight increase by March next year. Overall, nursing numbers will remain just under 60,000 whole-time equivalents.

STELLARTON, N.S. - Stellarton town council voted in favor of sending a letter to Premier Stephen McNeil in support of an extension to the Boat Harbour 2020 deadline with three in favor and two opposed.
A letter written on behalf of former and current Northern Pulp employees had been sent to town council. The letter also contains three pages of signatures in support of an extension.
The matter was added to the agenda on the night of the town council's Jan. 14 meeting.
The letter asks that Stellarton town council draft a letter to McNeil requesting an extension to the Boat Harbour closure date in order to allow the company time to complete an environmental assessment and construct a new effluent treatment plant.
Stellarton town council has already sent a letter to the federal minister of Environment and Climate Change in support of a federal assessment for Northern Pulp's effluent treatment plan.
"I think we should send this letter in, if nothing else to stay neutral," said Deputy Mayor Bryan Knight emphasizing concerns that the Town of Stellarton could be drifting "too deep" into matter.
"My view is that we should send this letter and cut it off there and give both sides a chance to be heard," said Knight.
Common ground between the fishery and the pulp mill was the line that councillors Knight and Simon Lawand were walking when they spoke on the issue at a crowded town hall on Monday night. Former and current mill employees were in attendance at the meeting and used the open forum to speak for those in support of a Boat Harbour extension.
Letter to Stellarton town council from current and former employees at Northern Pulp dated Jan 10.
Mayor Danny MacGillivray raised concerns over the fact that the letter does not mention any specific dates for how long Boat Harbour would need to remain open should the mill be given an extension.
No one from the Mi'kmaq community was present at the meeting and Pictou Landing First Nation Chief Andrea Paul said that her community had not been consulted.
On Jan. 9 Paul spoke at a the Municipality of Pictou County council meeting where council voted to pass a resolution honoring the Boat Harbour Act.
The letter from Northern Pulp employees to Stellarton town council was dated Jan. 10.
"When you get this close to the end and to see this type of political interference by Northern Pulp, I can honestly say I don't like it," said Paul.

By James Robinson, March 2020
For their first original production of 2020 Hull Truck Theatre and Scarborough's Stephen Joseph Theatre have teamed up to present a new staging of Jim Cartwright's Two, a bittersweet comedy drama that swiftly attained the status of classic following its first performance in 1989.
The play takes place in an old fashioned northern pub and comprises a handful of vignettes, dipping into the lives of the local's various drinkers and thinkers, all linked by the increasingly fractious bickering of the landlord and landlady.
Sometimes these vignettes involve people drinking alone, as they share their thoughts with the audience in monologue; others are two-person skits. All concern the theme of relationships in various states of dysfunction. These range from the cartoonishly comic, such as a seemingly mousey woman with a lot to say about her taste for 'big men'; to the deathly sombre: a bleak vignette involving an abusive man and his cowed partner is so packed with tension that it leaves the audience, who have until this point applauded each individual sketch, reeling in stunned silence.
"Ingeniously handled"
Although Two takes place on a particularly busy evening in the pub, every one of its cast of fourteen characters are played by Nicola Stephenson and Matthew Wilson. The comings and goings of the patrons is ingeniously handled, Stephenson and Wilson somehow transforming themselves in split-second costume changes. Every new character is expertly handled, without ever descending into caricature. Wilson is afforded greater range, vanishing into the roles of lost little boy or avuncular old man with equal dexterity, but Stephenson is given the pick of the comic roles, landing the biggest laughs as a die hard Elvis fan and a drunk woman out to confront her lover and his wife.
The set is minimal: a circular bar with a till and a handful of pub tables. There are no props, but the extremely clever sound design from Adam McCready, in which we hear every chink of ice and smashed glass, lends a sense of realism. Innovative lighting by Zia Bergin Holly is used expressively, with sudden bursts of disco lights in a couple of sequences, or subtle cues in the overheads that reflect the ebb and flow of the evening's trade.
"Bittersweet and moving"
Director Mark Babych has chosen to stage the play in the round, so that the 'bar' is in the dead centre of the auditorium, with the audience seated on all sides. This adds an extra level of immersion. The viewer is transformed into a patron, earwigging on its many dramatic events. Adding to this immersive atmosphere, Stephenson and Wilson don't shy away from directing their lines at individual audience members – even, in one memorable sequence, inviting someone on to the stage. To complete the effect, audiences can buy themselves a glass of Standing Ovation from the foyer, a pilsner made specially for the production by Hull brewery Atom Beers.
Two is a funny, bittersweet and moving work that remains touching more than thirty years after it was first performed. The content remains, in Babych's words, 'universal and timeless' but the very concept of an old-school pub packed with locals is tinged with nostalgia. The pub in Two would, in 2020, as likely have been converted into flats. In this respect the play is not only an entertaining night out, but a valid historical document.

Georg von Vollmar, eigentlich Georg Carl Joseph Heinrich Ritter von Vollmar auf Veltheim, (* 7. März 1850 in München; † 30. Juni 1922 in Urfeld am Walchensee, Haus Soiensaß, Oberbayern) war ein deutscher Politiker und erster Vorsitzender der bayerischen SPD.

Leben
Vollmar stammte aus einer adligen Beamtenfamilie. Seine Eltern – verheiratet seit 1849 – waren Anton von Vollmar (1824–1868), tätig als geheimer Registrator im bayerischen Innenministerium, und die Rentbeamtenstochter Karoline, geborene Loibl (1824–1903; ihr Vater Georg Loibl war Leiter des in Miesbach ansässigen Bezirksfinanzamts). Bereits 1857 lebten die Ehepartner getrennt; der Vater betrieb ab 1860 nachdrücklich die Scheidung der offensichtlich zerrütteten Ehe. Der Sohn Georg besuchte 1861–1865 die Lateinschule und das Internat der Benediktiner von St. Stephan in Augsburg, wo er eine streng katholische Erziehung erhielt. Das Gymnasium von St. Stephan konnte er wegen schlechter Zensuren in der Lateinschule (Gesamtnote IV, die damals schlechteste Zensur) nicht besuchen. Nach dem Vorbild seines Onkels Joseph von Vollmar (Oberst) strebte er zunächst 1865 eine militärische Laufbahn an und trat als Freiwillig Gemeiner und Cadet in die bayerische Armee ein. Während des Krieges 1866 gegen Preußen wurde er zum Unterlieutenant befördert. Er desertierte 1867 ("Entlassung zur Strafe") und verpflichtete sich ohne Wissen seiner Eltern 1868 als Freiwilliger in der päpstlichen Armee Pius' IX. in Rom. Auf Betreiben seines Vaters wurde er Ende 1868 (seine Verpflichtung hatte er bis 1872 unterschrieben und sich zwei Jahre älter gemacht) der bayerischen Gesandtschaft in Rom überstellt und nach München zurückgeschickt. Für den Deutsch-Französischen Krieg wurde ihm wegen seiner Desertion der Wiedereintritt in die bayerische Armee verweigert. Als Kriegstelegraphenbeamter im Dienst der Feldeisenbahn beteiligte er sich dennoch am Feldzug gegen Frankreich. Unter ungeklärten Umständen erhielt er im Januar 1871 bei Blois einen Schuss in den linken Fuß und kehrte als Invalide zurück. Seine hohe militärische Verwandtschaft (ein angeheirateter Onkel war General von Brodeßer) erreichte seine Rehabilitierung und die Alimentierung mit einer hohen Invalidenpension (1.087 Gulden p. a.). Neben einer Tätigkeit als Journalist und Schriftsteller beschäftigte er sich (bei seiner Mutter Karoline Loibl in München und Miesbach lebend; sein Vater war Ende 1868 überraschend verstorben) mit Politik, Philosophie und Literatur. 1877 wurde er über sozialdemokratische Kontakte Redakteur des Dresdner Volksboten. Wegen Majestätsbeleidigung zu zehn Monaten Gefängnis verurteilt, verbüßte er diese Strafe in der Haftanstalt Zwickau.

1879 bis 1880 wurde er auf Vorschlag August Bebels Chefredakteur des Zentralorgans Der Sozialdemokrat, welches in Zürich während der Zeit des Sozialistengesetzes erschien. 1881 musste er diese Tätigkeit aber wegen seiner radikal-revolutionären Ideen aufgeben, mit denen er immer mehr in Gegensatz zu sozialdemokratischen Reichstagsabgeordneten geriet. Nach einem kurzen Aufenthalt in Paris zog er 1881 für den sächsischen Reichstagswahlkreis Sachsen 15 Mittweida in den Reichstag ein. Vollmar war 1881 bis 1887 und 1890 bis 1918 Mitglied des Reichstags, ab 1884 für den Reichstagswahlkreis Oberbayern 2 München II. Er gewann dieses Mandat, weil sich das bürgerliche Lager absichtlich zersplittert hatte, um dem bisherigen Abgeordneten, Anton Westermayer, Stadtpfarrer und Mitglied des in Bayern übermächtigen Zentrums, eine Niederlage zu bereiten. Außerdem war von Vollmar 1883 bis 1889 Mitglied des Sächsischen Landtags und 1893 bis 1918 Mitglied des bayerischen Landtags.

Seit 1884 hatte er Kontakt zur schwerreichen schwedischen Industriellentochter Julia Kjellberg, die er 1885 ehelichte. Ihr gemeinsamer Sohn Sigfried starb 1887, wenige Monate alt. Die reiche Ehefrau ermöglichte dem vormals linksradikalen Politiker ein komfortables Leben und ließ in Urfeld am Walchensee eine luxuriöse Villa mit Park errichten, die beide zur Jahreswende 1889/90 bezogen und bis zu ihrem Tod bewohnten. Fortan näherte sich Vollmar dem Reformismus/Revisionismus an und hielt enge Kontakte zu Exponenten des rechten Parteiflügels wie Eduard David, Wolfgang Heine, Adolf Müller und Albert Südekum. In dem Münchner Lokal Eldorado hatte er am 1. und 6. Juli 1891 in zwei Reden versucht, seinen politischen Wandel zu begründen, um auf der Grundlage der gegebenen Staats- und Gesellschaftsordnung Verbesserungen wirtschaftlicher und sozialer Art herbeizuführen. Damit entwickelte er sich immer mehr zum Antipoden zu August Bebel.

Er war entscheidend am Aufbau eines bayerischen Landesverbandes der SPD beteiligt, dessen erster Landesparteitag am 26. Juni 1892 in Regensburg stattfand. Dort erstatteten Vollmar und G. Löwenstein einen Bericht über die Bedeutung und die Thätigkeit des bayerischen Landtages, der zusammen mit dem Landtags-Wahlprogramm für die Wahlen im Jahre 1893 in einer Schrift Die Socialdemokratie und die Wahlen zum bayerischen Landtag veröffentlicht wurde (Nürnberg 1892). In diesem Wahlprogramm wurde u. a. folgende Forderung erhoben: "Pflege der Wissenschaft und Kunst, unbeschränkte Freiheit ihrer Lehre und Uebung. Schaffung eines Schulgesetzes auf folgenden Grundlagen: Unentgeltlichkeit des Schulunterrichts und der Lehrmittel, Bestreitung der Kosten durch den Staat, Verbesserung der Volksschule, insbesondere durch Ausdehnung der Schulzeit und Ersetzung der nutzlosen Feiertagsschule durch einen wirksamen Fortbildungsunterricht. Verpflegung bedürftiger Schulkinder auf öffentliche Kosten. Entlastung der Lehrer vom Kirchendienst und Aufbesserung ihrer Gehälter; weltliche Schulinspektion." 1894 bis 1918 war er Landesvorsitzender der bayerischen SPD. 1903 erklärte er sich bereit, in einer kaiserlichen Regierung mitzuarbeiten. Zu Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs war er ein vehementer Vertreter der Burgfriedenspolitik und bis Kriegsende ein unduldsamer Befürworter eines Siegfriedens.
1918 legte er aus gesundheitlichen Gründen seine Mandate nieder, worauf Kurt Eisner als Ersatzmann für die kommende Landtagswahl nominiert wurde.

Von Vollmar bewohnte in Urfeld am Walchensee das Haus Soiensaß, heute Karwendelblick, dessen Grundstein er 1884 gelegt hatte.

Georg von Vollmar starb im Alter von 71 Jahren.

Fashion ramps all over the world went heavy on aquatic themes for spring, so aqua colours are in, blue, teal, turquoise, sea green and everything in between is going to be huge this spring. At the same time, the black and white theme was also rather prominent in fashion shows the more dramatic and graphic the contrast, the better. As far as cuts go, there is a definite movement toward clean, sleek lines with minimal clutter or ornamentation. Designers are keeping it simple this spring.
Get a new wardrobe here.


Kate Lindsey first experienced the magical light of Santa Fe, New Mexico in July 2007. Upon her arrival she knew immediately that Santa Fe would one day be her home. After a long and winding course of the next eight years, she did indeed find herself moving into her first live/work studio in Santa Fe. With a grateful nod to the heavens, she knew she was finally home.
Kate was born and raised in Central Arkansas and lived most of her life in Little Rock. She began taking photographs at an early age with a Kodak camera, and soon after with her Dad's new Polaroid. She soon knew that making art would be her life path. Her creative journey has included graphic design, teaching art, and exploring photography and painting in great depth.
During the eight years between that first trip and her move to Santa Fe in 2015, Kate visited the city and surrounding areas every year for two to three weeks at a time. Each trip deepened her love of the light, the people, the mountains, dry air, and especially the sky and clouds. It immediately felt like home. It was the yearly journeys to the high desert that nourished her, and kept her going over the intervening eight years. And those eight years were to be of never ending challenges.
Upon returning to Little Rock after that first trip in 2007, Kate realized the time had come to move her ailing Mother into her home, and take on the role of primary caretaker and the myriad of tasks that included. Several years later after the passing of her Mother, a new chapter began. It included going through and emptying the contents of her Mother's home. Then there was overseeing two house remodels, the sale of her home, and finally packing and moving to Santa Fe.
Arriving in Santa Fe, in the Spring of 2015 was truly a breath of fresh air in many ways. The dry air felt good, it was easier to move, her Arkansas allergies were gone. It was a whole new life in a whole new place. The winding road of the next couple of years held its own series of new challenges. The purchase of a home and the subsequent lengthy remodel. The end of a relationship. The sudden loss of her dearest friend of over 40 years. Then the diagnosis, surgery, and treatment of cancer. A long and difficult journey indeed.
And through it all, Kate continued to make photographs nearly daily, posting to Instagram and participating in that community was a lifeline. She made many small paintings expressing the deep transition she was experiencing. All of this work has been a way of processing the grief and loss of the the past several years. Thought it all, she continues to be inspired daily by Northern New Mexico. The colors, the light, the clouds, and the spirit of the high desert are slowly sinking into her bones, bringing a deep healing process. She is inspired to expand her artwork in new directions, both her photography, her painting, and the exciting place where the two overlap.

Laziness and Presumption of the Conservative Mind
Posted on 25 Feb 2016 by Frank Moraes
In my continuing adventures with my difficult person, I have been told repeatedly that I am lazy and ungrateful. This is entirely typical of the conservative mind. I am lazy because I do not want to spend a great deal of time working on a project that pays almost nothing and, if anything, makes me a less valuable commodity. I am ungrateful because the businesses involved are doing all their work (which is little) out of the goodness of their hearts.
The reality of the situation is that I am a known author with a book that has an almost mythical reputation. It will sell. And I certainly could have self-published it and made far more money than I will under the current contract. I did not want to republish the book and I was talked into it during a moment of weakness. The publisher and the distributor will make far more money than I will. But I don't care. There are people who want the book, and now they will be able to get it. But to the conservative mind, I am being done a great service.
But note the conservative delusion. We sign contracts, but that's all just pretense. What's really going on is that the rich are so kindhearted that they are providing work for this miserable writer who would never make a cent if it weren't for their largess. One has to wonder why the government had to start the WPA during the Great Depression when there were so many rich companies who exist only to make work for useless people like me.
The Conservative Mind Begins
Let me explain to you how all this got started. I got two hysterical email messages because I had submitted a book chapter where the header line listed the wrong chapter. I wasn't pleased at the freak out. I wrote back rather more aggressively than I should have that this was the result of the publisher's demand that chapters can only be so long, because apparently, all books have to be exactly the same and she never bothered to look at the book in the first place. And then the dam broke and I received hundreds of words of bile. So I apologized and said I had misunderstood the tone of the original email. This was responded to with many more hundreds of words of bile. The conservative mind just can't let things go. Anger and hatred are what drive it.
This is the conservative mind. I should be grateful to my betters and be willing to work hundreds of hours on this book. And I should always be a good little boy and constantly voice my utter gratefulness that anyone in the world would be willing to publish such a poor and unprofessional writer as I. Now compare this to the liberal company I work for. When I took over managing writers, the biggest concern was that I encourage the writers. The owner of the company understands that the money he makes is a direct result of the people who work for him. He sees the employer-employee relationship as one of equality and mutual respect. And this employer pays me more in a week than I will ever make off this book.
But this isn't just about the current situation I find myself in. If you watch Fox Business, you will see lots of people going on about how employees should put up with every kind of indignity. They should work for nothing. And if they do it just right, the employer will reward them with a good job. This is why unions are unnecessary — they presume that workers should have some kind of equality of power to employers.
The Conservative Mind's Faux Threat
To give you an idea of just how ridiculous the conservative mind is in this case, the first email messages I received threatened to kill the project. This was supposed to make me frightened. But my position was, "Great! Let's kill it!" But of course, the book won't be killed because the publisher knows that the book will make money. Now I am told we can't kill the book because people have put work in it. This is a typical moralistic argument that conservatives use against others, but would never accept when directed toward themselves. Part of the cost of doing business is paying for things that don't work out. Newspapers of old used to assign twice as many articles to be written as were ever published. But in the modern conservative mind, they can never risk anything. It can charge extra for losses it claims will incur, but it will never allow those losses if it can use a moral stick against what it considers to be its lessers.
So you might be wondering why I being so public with my anger. Well, I'm not mentioning the publisher by name. And really: what do I have to lose? The book will be published, because despite what the conservative claims, it is being published because it will make money. None of the hundreds of words telling me how awful I am have been in the service of getting the book done. Well, not completely. I now plan to provide the finished book by next week. But the result of that will be that I'm going to do far less to improve and update the book than I was doing. The publisher has yet to read anything I've sent. The concern is that the headers must be right, I must provide scans of the tiny number of images in the book, and that the text must be double spaced. So the publisher will get the really important things: proper formatting.
A world with only conservatives would not be a world worth living in. And I am so looking forward to delivering the book so that my only communication will be the occasional tax document.

Difficult People: Are You One of Them?
I'm not the easiest person to get along with. But I don't consider myself a jerk. I'm not one of the difficult people. I don't try to be difficult. But like most people, I have bad days; I take things the wrong way; I lash out. The problem I find is that when I'm having an argument with another person, I don't know whose being the jerk. In most cases, there's blame on both sides. But that in itself is something I've learned about such encounters. It's a very good sign if you can see that you are at least partly to blame.
What I've noticed is true of the most difficult people — the ones who are forever getting into altercations — is that they think the world is against them. According to them, just about everyone in their lives are difficult. For a normal person, this should set off alarm bells. There really are only two possible explanations. The first is that you choose really bad people to hang around. For example, suppose you are a hate radio addict, it would be stupid to live in Berkeley. You would find a lot of people who think very different than you do. If that's the kind of conflict that you like, have at it. But don't be surprised that your relationships are difficult.
Difficult People Find Others "Difficult"
The most common issue, however, is that people find others difficult because they demand that everyone act just the way that they want. If that's the case, you are going to find people "difficult" but the real problem is that you are difficult. They are just the way they are. So regardless whether you have decided to surround yourself with people who are naturally at odds with you and your worldview, or you require that everyone agree with you and do things your way, the problem is you not the world.
Difficult people have found a loophole in civilization. They've realized that most people are just too nice to tell them to shut up and mind their own business.
The vast majority of my relationships are extremely positive. But when I get into a fight with someone, I'm very concerned that I'm in the wrong. And even when I don't think I'm in the wrong, I'm willing to take blame and get back to work. Life's too short. But if the other person involved is not interested in accepting olive branches — indeed, if they use the olive branches to expand the conflict, then I know the problem is not me. I'm just dealing with a difficult person — a jerk.
I'm not sure what the difficult person gets out of being a jerk. But I can relate what I think is a telling experience. I had just spent half a day working with a difficult person and was told various things about how I should live my life. It wasn't just advice of course, it was peppered with claims that I was an idiot and didn't know what I was talking about. Later, I was going to dinner with this difficult person, and we ran into someone they knew. And I stood there for a good 15 minutes as this poor man was told exactly the same things I had been told with only slightly fewer insults. I wanted to say, "I've heard this lecture; could you give it on your own time?"
Difficult people have found a loophole in civilization. They've realized that most people are just too nice to tell them to shut up and mind their own business. But when someone does get the point of not being able to take it, that's when the difficult person gets their greatest victory: oh, how wronged they've been by all the difficult people in the world!
The only way that you can know if you are a difficult person is to look out at the world and see what it thinks. I don't think I'm a difficult person because the only person I know who thinks I'm difficult is widely considered one of the most difficult people working in their industry. The people who work with me have all kinds of pejoratives to describe me — but mostly just "weird." But "jerk" is not one of them. Nor is "cruel." But the real question is not figuring out if you are a difficult person; the real question is how you can avoid them.

The phrase "Burn, baby! Burn!" has been associated with the 1965 Watts Riots. As a result, I've always found it fascinating that it would find its way into The Trammps' mega-hit "Disco Inferno." It is, I suppose, what Thomas Frank wrote about in his first book, The Conquest of Cool: Business Culture, Counterculture, and the Rise of Hip Consumerism. It isn't that those ad men were just trying to co-opt what was cool. It was what they thought was cool and they were simply using it.
It's certainly the case that the songwriters, Leroy Green and Ron Kersey, were not making a political statement. The song came from a scene in The Towering Inferno, where a disco is burned down. "Disco Inferno" is pure fun, the way that the very best Disco music was. But it must certainly be that the writers had the phrase in their mind because they had heard it associated with the Watts Riots. And there is something kind of sad that just one decade after a riot that took the lives of 34 people should be so vague that the phrase could be co-opted to mean nothing more than burning up the dance floor.
But that's the nature of our modern society. The Watts Riots started over the police stopping an African American man. The reasonableness of the whole thing is not the question, however. The issue is that we had then, as we have today, a racist system. People denied justice will hold in their resentment and anger for only so long. And to nitpick over the exact timing or cause of their anger is to miss the whole point.
Disco Inferno: Burn That Mother Down
When I see white people like those who took over the Malheur wildlife sanctuary, it makes me think of all the people who have real grievances. Throughout its brief history, the Black Lives Matter movement has been nitpicked to death. A twelve year old African American boy with a toy gun is driven up on and murdered by police within seconds. But when armed white men take over a public building because some rich people are being held accountable for their acts of arson, we get a month-long negotiation to see that no one is harmed. Yet it is the Black Lives Matter protesters who are condemned because they aren't doing it right. They aren't courteous enough. They don't wait their turn. They somehow never know the exact right words that would make their problems all just go away.
African Americans, like all minority groups, are just supposed to shut up — unless they are providing us with entertainment as delightful as "Disco Inferno."

Anniversary Post: Soviet Union's Cult of Personality
On this day in 1956, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev gave a speech to party insiders, "On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences." It was basically an attack on former Premier Joseph Stalin. You can't read about it without being told that it was all part of Khrushchev's efforts to consolidate his power against the remaining Stalin loyalists. And while that was certainly the case, the implication is always that the Soviet leaders had ulterior motives but somehow here in America we are pure as the driven snow.
I guess it is just when I grew up and the fact that it was in a conservative household that I find so sad our tendency to trivialize the government of the Soviet Union. It isn't that I have a all that much respect for it. But it was complicated. My father liked to point out that although they had elections in the Soviet Union, they had only one political party. While that was largely true, there were various factions of the party. And I really can't say that there was less diversity within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union than there has been between the Democratic and Republican Parties.
It is certainly the case that what Khrushchev said in "On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences" was widely shared. They knew they had a major problem on their hands when Stalin was in power. He was exactly the kind of autocrat that the communists hated in the fascist leaders. The truth was that Stalin greatly admired Hitler until the Nazi leader stabbed him in the back. (This was a major mistake; the Nazis probably would have survived World War II if they had managed to keep the Soviet Union out of it.)
Whose Cult of Personality Is Worse?
The Soviet Union changed over time. And it eventually allowed a man as liberal as Mikhail Gorbachev to rule it. Can you imagine the United States ever electing a leader that would admit to our major errors? As it is, even Bernie Sanders, a man who is hardly a radical, has been vilified by a whole industry of opinion leaders who supposedly represent the left of politics.
Also on this day in 1991, the Warsaw Pact was disbanded. Yet NATO continues on. To counter what? Wasn't the fall of communism the time when the west should have most firmly embraced the United Nations? But instead of using the event to make a better world, the United States used it to consolidate its power. We don't have a cult of personality here; we have a cult of "exceptionalism." And it is dangerous. Donald Trump could become our next president. And there are a lot of people in this country who are thrilled at the idea of a cult of personality. Even when it requires the personality of Vladimir Putin.

The Week in God


I'd like to pose some questions to all of our readers. Would you pay $100 for a pair of shoes under a seemingly prestigious brand name, when a few weeks later you could find them in a discount warehouse store for $20? Or if you did pay the $100, how would you feel when you saw the discounted price? My answer to these questions would be 'obviously the brand isn't that prestigious, if they sell all their products at bargain basement prices a few weeks later'.
As an agency, a recurring issue we often face is that of exemplifying what exactly positioning is, and how you can relate it to real life cases. The situation I describe above is a perfect example of positioning gone wrong.
A certain Australian retailer does just this; offers their products in their retail stores at high prices, boasting a product of exceptional quality, and then sells them a few weeks later in their warehouse outlets; accompanied by some absolutely atrocious TV advertisements.
The advertisements continue to boast the extreme quality of the products; how much they test them; the rigorous processes they use, yet they still sell their products for ridiculously low prices.
How does the consumer associate quality with bargain basement prices? Why would they pay more for a relatively cheap brand?
More importantly – what has happened to the brand values? What does it stand for?
Consumer confusion is a sure recipe for failure. If you need to sell old stock, remember your brand valuesstrong> and where your product/service/brand sits in the mind of the consumer. If you're a bargain basement store, do what you like with your prices and put your product in $2 bins outside the front door. If you're a business that sells a prestigious product of exceptional quality – don't discount it! In almost all cases, discounting results in the death of your brand values, and all your hard work at carving your own niche in the mind of the consumer will go to waste.
Waddle, waddle – quack, quack!


Things have been, well, a bit nuts in my life since I was cleaning regularly and writing here. What I have learned during the past several months is that my default state is not tidy. That is something, like diet "changes" and other things, that I will have to make a conscious effort to keep up. I'll try to write weekly here and talk more about what I am doing to declutter my life.

Mining for Excellence
The quality of work being done around the world from Team Caterpillar is what ultimately sets our products and services apart from the rest. This hard work and commitment to quality is what put Jacqueline Madsen's name on the finalist list for the Women in Industry – Excellence in Mining Award.
Australia-based Technical Training Consultant, Jacqueline Madsen, specializes in the Cat MineStar Command for Hauling application, which she compares to a "computer game" type platform that allows customers to remotely operate mining vehicles, some nearly a thousand miles away. Jacqueline's time is spent at each of her customers' mine sites, which she says all operate differently and offer her the fresh perspective needed to identify new ways to enhance each customer's interaction with the MineStar system. In fact, it was through this onsite customer support that Jacqueline and her team figured out how to effectively use the existing capabilities in the system to allow trucks to take themselves in for fuel when they needed it. In doing so, she helped a customer save upwards of $1 million in truck hours, which meant the trucks could be used more effectively elsewhere, earning money instead of being unproductive while waiting for fuel. It was Jacqueline's work on this project, along with mental health initiatives and environmental projects, that resulted in her nomination for the Women in Industry- Excellence in Mining award.
Jacqueline shares that she is "humbled" to have been among the other nominees in the running for this prestigious recognition. However, Jacqueline's true passion for her work doesn't come from the awards and recognition, but rather a passion for efficiency, and the exciting possibilities that await engineers in the world of autonomy. She says, "Engineers are great at looking for ways to make things better. In an environment like autonomy, there is endless room for outside the box thinking, and real opportunities to make a big difference."
With a background in electrical engineering and project management, Jacqueline joined the enterprise very much new to autonomy. Through the support of her team, including the peer who nominated her for this award, Jacqueline learned a powerful lesson: "Don't be limited by what you think is out there for you. I never pictured I would be a specialist in automation. It's a long way from my background, but amazing things come from seeking out new opportunities and following your passions."
As a young child, Jacqueline remembers playing with remote controlled cars and compares the memory to her role supporting and training mining customers. Only now, the toy cars have been replaced with massive 300-tonnes mining trucks and the remote control is replaced with Cat MineStar Command system. Congratulations on a job well done, Jacqueline. If you're ready to join the team that builds a better world, search and apply today.

By Threatening Elections, Netanyahu Is Taking a Huge Risk - Why Now?
Common wisdom is that if the threat is real, Netanyahu's motive is not his aversion to the public broadcaster, but a looming indictment on graft charges ■ But this still doesn't explain his timing.
Yossi Verter
Send me email alerts for new articles by Yossi Verter
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Eyal Toueg
Any attempt to explain, clarify, place in a logical framework or make order in what is happening in Israeli politics over the past few days is doomed. It's not political analysis that is needed here, it's a psychologist. And not a child psychologist working in a quarter-time position in public service, but an entire department in a closed institution. The cuckoo's nest is here.
Netanyahu says he will hold snap elections if Israel's new public broadcaster not killed within days
Netanyahu's attitude toward the media is irrational - and pathetic
Two years and two days ago, Israel held unnecessary elections because the prime minister wanted to prevent damage to the newspaper that is his private mouthpiece, Israel Hayom. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted this after the fact. Now he is threatening elections if the broadcasting corporation, which he hates, does not close down.
That, at least, is the official reason the prime minister is using to justify this possible move. His heart is supposedly breaking for the Israel Broadcasting Authority workers, so, let's go for it, elections it is. But after all, Netanyahu customarily lies without batting an eye, not for the sake of the state, but for his own needs. If the last time in December 2014 he hid from the public the real reason for the breakup of the coalition, there's no reason to believe he's not doing the same thing now.
First of all, let's make clear that in any case, the corporation will not shut down. With or without elections, it will launch television, radio and digital broadcasting on April 30, and the Israel Broadcasting Authority will cease to exist. Netanyahu is threatening to close the corporation sometime over the next six months, eight months maybe, after a new coalition is established that he hopes to head, after the Israel Broadcasting Authority will have long ceased to exist, its buildings sold, its workers scattered to the wind. This is crazy even in the crazy environment we live in. Who would support this? Who would join such a baseless, imaginary coalition? Not Kulanu chairman Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon, not Yesh Atid chairman MK Yair Lapid, not former Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, not the Zionist Union, not Habayit Hayehudi chairman Education Minister Naftali Bennett. Maybe just the ultra-Orthodox parties.
And so the common assumption is that if Netanyahu really wants early elections and his threat is not baseless, the corporation is just an excuse. According to that assumption, Netanyahu apparently believes that the police are about to recommend that he be indicted, in the coming weeks, at least on charges of alleged wrongful receipt of gifts, known as Case 1000. Elections, according to the custom in Israel, should stop such a move until after the polls close.
As long as such a recommendation does not land on the attorney general's desk, Netanyahu is free to do what he wants. From the moment the recommendation is made, he becomes politically handicapped. His options shrink, his room to maneuver dwindles. He is politically weakened. And so if that is what he is striving for, there is a certain logic in elections now.
On the other hand, if that is his goal, why on Thursday afternoon did he reach an agreement with Kahlon that the corporation will begin operations as planned on April 30 and new regulatory action would be put off for later? What happened at the end of the week, other than his high-profile meeting with the broadcasting authority employees (whom Likud election ads in the last campaign called "hamasniks") in which he learned nothing new? Who are the people who whispered in his ear, who tormented him over the agreement with Kahlon? Who are the ones who gave him no respite at his official residence on Balfour Street until that meeting of ministers was called in which he announced that he was backtracking on his agreement with Kahlon?
It is well known that the most important political decisions are made around the dining table in the residential wing of the prime minister's official residence. His wife Sara and his eldest son Yair are often the ones who make the decisions. The prime minister is the executor or the contractor. Of course, one cannot know if that was the case this time as well.
By the way, Sara Netanyahu did not like the fact that elections were moved up the last time. She objected, but at the time the interests were more complex. Israel Hayom, the apple of the eye of the casino magnate patron, was in danger. Today, as far as we know, Sara Netanyahu supports early elections and closing the broadcasting corporation. We could hear her opinion through the mouth of her close friend, Culture and Sports Minister Miri Regev, at a team-building event of the coalition last week. "Close it! Close it!" she shouted from her seat in the audience.
In practical terms, if we are headed for elections, Netanyahu is taking a huge personal, political and party risk. No one is promising him that in the next election he will have 61 MKs at his disposal. Kahlon, as chairman of Kulanu or in some other framework, is holding steady in all the opinion polls at 6 or 7 seats. There is no reason to believe that he will go below the voter threshold, and there is no reason to believe that after the elections, in light of what he is going through now, his interest will be to once again support Netanyahu.
And that's not all. If Netanyahu is not re-elected prime minister, the police and the attorney general will find it easier to indict him; it wouldn't be a move that brings down a prime minister and a government. And of course, Netanyahu won't be interrogated at his home, at a time convenient for him, but rather will have to present himself at the headquarters of the Lahav 433 anti-fraud unit.
Moreover, he is willing to sacrifice his party for his own private obsession, whether it involves the broadcasting corporation or his alleged criminal affairs: He is gambling with Likud's status as the ruling party, when Likud has two years and eight months left in that position. In any sane party, ministers and MKs with integrity and backbone would send their leader packing. Not in Likud apparently, where there's no lack of spinelessness.
Netanyahu's reason for the timing of this political bombshell – a few hours before he flew on Saturday to China for a five-day visit – is not obvious. He created a mega-crisis with huge implications for the Knesset but he won't be here to manage it. Matters can get out of control. Most of the Knesset, except for Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid, does not want elections. Likud has 30 MKs; five of them won't be re-elected. Why should they extend their neck to the slaughtering knife just because of the mistakes of the party chairman?
The only explanation for the timing involves the person who took off to the east a few hours before Netanyahu. President Reuven Rivlin flew to Vietnam for a few days. The president has a very important function in the scenario by which the prime minister seeks to disperse the Knesset. He needs to begin consultations with the lawmakers to find an alternative candidate to establish a coalition in the current Knesset. As long as both president and the prime minister are abroad at the same time, the president can't hold consultations and unofficial talks with party heads.
Netanyahu and Rivlin will return to Israel the day after the Knesset begins its six-week spring break. Meanwhile, there is no bill, not even a preliminary stage of a bill, which will allow the corporation to be closed and the Israel Broadcasting Authority to be revived. During the break it is much more difficult to legislate, not to mention disperse the Knesset. The possibility was raised in the coalition Saturday night of extending the Knesset session by a week. That's possible, but not easy. Such a decision is in the hands of Knesset Speaker MK Yuli Edelstein (Likud).
Another possibility – theoretical at the moment and very unlikely – is that a temporary alternative government will be established, a kind of transitional government that will govern in the current Knesset for one year. Kahlon would be happy to head it. Zionist Union chairman MK Isaac Herzog, who has proposed this in the past, would be even happier to serve as foreign minister in a Kahlon government. The ultra-Orthodox parties would certainly not oppose it, nor would Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who wants to remain in office for at least two years. To reach the required majority for this move, another party would be needed: Likud, Habayit Hayehudi or Meretz, which makes this puzzle almost impossible to put together. But make no mistake, once Netanyahu announces he wants elections, huge efforts will be made to prevent the dispersal of the Knesset by establishing an alternative government.

Passionate and engaged: Dr. Marilyn Baetz shares her career journey so far
Tuesday, April 5, 2016 in Physician Leaders
"Most people don't know I grew up on a farm and drove a grain truck when I was 10 years old," says a smiling Dr. Marilyn Baetz, Unified Head of the Department of Psychiatry for Saskatoon Health Region and the College of Medicine.
Eight years later, she enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan to study nutrition, "before nutrition was popular." After completing a five-year degree, including a one-year internship, she worked as a clinical dietitian for four years at Royal University Hospital.
"I was working as a nutritionist on the wards when I decided that I wanted to further my education and be more involved in patient care, so I applied to study medicine," says Dr. Baetz. "It's probably been the best career move I could have made; the privilege of working with patients is an incredibly rewarding experience."
Dr. Marilyn Baetz, Unified Head of the Department of Psychiatry for the College of Medicine and Saskatoon Health Region
It was while enrolled in the College of Medicine that Dr. Baetz realized she wanted to specialize in psychiatry.
"I think I came to a gradual awareness of it," says Dr. Baetz. "I certainly didn't go into medicine thinking that's what I would do, but as I became more familiar with psychiatry, I realized that was where my talents and abilities lay. What I like about psychiatry is that it deals with the whole person. If you're treating depression, it's depression in the context of the entire person and their psychosocial setting. In some respects, it can be harder because there are not necessarily tests to make diagnoses, but I find it much more interesting. I'm fascinated by the mind, relationships and how people interact.
"In this type of work, you also learn about yourself and how you interact. So, one of the best things for me as a department head is that I have worked as a psychiatrist for many years and have developed insights and skills in working with people and understanding relationships," Dr. Baetz says of her current role in the Department of Psychiatry, where she recently began her sixth year as the unified head.
From a clinical point of view, Dr. Baetz's responsibilities include overseeing the various psychiatric services in the acute care and emergency departments, Dubé Centre and the community. From an academic point of view, she oversees all teaching and research related to psychiatry in the College of Medicine, including undergraduate and post-graduate education, medical clerks, and a child and adolescent sub-specialty program, among other areas.
"What I like most about this position is the variety of work," says Dr. Baetz. "There is always something happening, and I have the opportunity to advocate, to help make change happen, and to really work for our patients and for my colleagues on a system level – looking at how psychiatry and mental health fit within health care. Psychiatry is probably the most stigmatized area of medicine from a patient perspective and even within medicine. When I accepted the position as unified department head, I wanted to decrease that stigma by making our department the best department we could be: well-functioning from within and well-respected from without."
Dr. Baetz is certainly achieving her goal. In 2014, the Department of Psychiatry had among the highest physician engagement scores within the Region.
"The survey showed that our psychiatrists are very engaged physicians," Dr. Baetz says proudly. "We're a cohesive group because we've had to work together to overcome obstacles, and I think people in the department really feel that they have a voice, that they're involved and that they can make a difference."
In addition to her role as unified head, Dr. Baetz continues to practice as a psychiatrist with patients experiencing anxiety and mood disorders – her sub-specialty for over a decade. Currently, she is working in the area of maternal mental health, which includes treating pregnant and post-partum women.
"I first developed an interest in maternal mental health in 2006. I was receiving a lot of referrals, but at the time there was nothing coordinated for maternal mental health in the Region – the resources were scattered throughout the city. So, I worked with a colleague from nursing who was looking at mental health in pregnancy, and we developed a program to better serve these women. It's taken 10 years to grow, but it is at the point where I have had to share the workload with another psychiatrist."
Other areas of interest for Dr. Baetz include research in religion/spirituality and suicidal ideation, religion/spirituality and psychosomatic conditions, and the clinical correlates of mood variability with other mental health conditions.
When not in the office, Dr. Baetz enjoys her family, keeping active at the gym and golfing. In particular she enjoys travelling and has an affinity for historical locations in Europe.
"I love a challenge," Dr. Baetz says enthusiastically. "I'm always thinking of something that I can do differently and better, whether it is at home or at work. The most rewarding thing about being a department head is being able to serve my colleagues and the patients we support. The ability to be able to reach out and help others to grow and develop is very satisfying."
In 2013, Dr. Baetz was the recipient of the Dennis A. Kendel Distinguished Service Award, presented by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan. The award recognizes and honours individuals who have made outstanding contributions in Saskatchewan to physician leadership and/or physician engagement and quality improvements in health care.
