Maj. Gen. Roy Andersen, South African National Defence Force Reserves Chief, wanted to learn from a really professional organization, so he brought his staff to visit the New York National Guard Dec. 4-6.

The SANDF and the New York National Guard have had a mutual relationship through the Guard's State Partnership Program since 2005. The program sets up exchanges between the South African military and the New York State National Guard to foster better understanding through a series of bilateral events.

"We are looking to take away the lessons you have learned, so we do not have to relearn them; so we can do things better, and maybe we can identify a few areas where we think we do it better," he said.

The six-officer delegation, which visited sites in the Albany and New York City areas, was particularly interested in learning about the New York Guard's family support and employer support programs.

"We know these are good and they work," Andersen said.

The South African team included Brig. Gen. Susan Debbie Molefe, Director of Defence Reserves; Rear Adm. Ernst Penzhorn, Director of Naval Reserves; Brig. Gen. Tebogo Samuel Madumane, Director of the Air Force Reserves; Brig Gen. (Dr.) Abel Maminze, Acting Director of the South African Military Health Service Reserves; Chaplain (Col.) Masello Mothopeng, Senior Staff Officer Reserve Force Chaplains; and Col. Brian Molefe, Deputy Director of South African Army Reserves.

U.S. Army Africa was represented by Brig. Gen. Isaac G. Osborne Jr., USARAF Deputy Commander, who is also Assistant Adjutant General of the Tennessee Army National Guard.

The visitors were impressed by the proactive nature of the National Guard's health assessment process. Visiting the Guard’s state headquarters while a Soldiers Readiness Check for the Joint Force Headquarters Detachment was under way, the South Africans were impressed with the mobile dental clinic set up to fix Soldiers, problems on the spot, Andersen said.

“There is a lot of energy in the relationship between the New York National Guard and the South African military,” said Maj. Gen. Patrick Murphy, the Adjutant General of New York. Guardsmen from the 106th Rescue Wing have been to South Africa as recently as September to train with their South African counterparts, he said.

Bilateral visits are an important part of the relationship process, said Osborne.

“The SPP program is all about the sharing and teamwork of coming together for the same cause. It gives both parties an opportunity to get to know each other better. This conference improved the relationships between South Africa and the United States military,” said Osborne.

The three-day visit started Dec. 4 with briefings on subjects such as family readiness programs, efforts to keep employers supportive, New York National Guard missions and reintegration programs.

The team visited Stratton Air National Guard Base in Scotia, New York, Dec. 5. The base is home to the 109th Airlift Wing of the New York Air National Guard, the only wing in the U.S. military that flies C-130 transport aircraft equipped with skies that enable landings on snow or ice.

Dec. 6 the South Africans visited the New York National Guard's standing security force in New York City, Joint Task Force Empire Shield. The team inspected the quarters of the 24th Civil Support Team, a unit specially trained to identify chemical, biological and radiological weapons. They also had an opportunity to observe personnel providing security at transportation hubs in Manhattan.

The South Africans were also brought up to speed on the capabilities of New York's Naval Militia, which works with the United States Coast Guard in New York Harbor.

The New York National Guard and South African National Defence Force Reserves face some similar challenges, said Andersen.

Just as New York deploys troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, South African reservists are presently serving in peacekeeping missions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan and Burundi. South African reservists also do border duty along their nation's border with Zimbabwe to control illegal immigration, similar to the way New York National Guard forces have served along the Mexican border.

There are differences, though.

South African reservists must serve two years on active duty, including one complete deployment, before going into reserve status. This can make it tough to recruit, and many of the South African Reserve members do not have jobs. Finding them civilian work is an important mission for his force, said Andersen, who is chairman of several corporate boards in civilian life.

Interestingly, the South African Air Force Reserve includes a special component of members who bring their own aircraft with them when they serve, more like the American Civil Air Patrol than the Air National Guard or Air Force Reserves.

While the New York Army and Air National Guard, with just over 16,000 members, are about the same size as the South African Army, Air Force, and Naval Reserves, the level of responsibility that Andersen and his team have is much greater, Murphy said.

He and his staff don't have to deal with the issues of national policy and politics that Andersen must cope with, he explained.

“The New York National Guard did an outstanding job by providing requested relevant information to the current challenges of the South African military,” Osborne said.

2018 Cologne Fashion Doll collectors' convention - Barbie Sammlertreffen Köln by Nina

3

Same procedure as every year (yay!) - this weekend I had the joyful honor to attend the Cologne fashion doll collectors' convention : )!

It was a fantastic day, I met with old and dear friends and got to know a whole bunch of lovely new people. My funniest moment was when a very kind french lady and her daughter came to my table and my french skills left me within a second. I could only excuse myself (in french at least!) with a laughing "I DO speak french, but not at this moment" - obviously *rotf* ; )

Ah, it was great! My photos surely aren't the best, they're usually taken in a hurry and only at the beginning of the day, since I'm becoming very busy afterwards, but at least I really did take some :).

To all of you who are going to attend the IT convention soon - I'm wishing you tons of fun, have many, many great moments, meet old and new friends and enjoy every minute. In my heart I'll be with you *hugs*!

Soon after we arrived at the clinic, Dr. Bart was called back in to do the pre-op appointment that was supposed to have happened hours earlier, but didn't because the train schedule made us so late. He took some "before" pictures and went over the plan for the procedure in more detail. Claire thinks she might have had better results if it wasn't so rushed.

Claire got her Facial Feminization Surgery with Dr. Bart Van De Ven at the 2Pass Clinic in Antwerp, Belgium on September 4th, 2018.

***************** FOR THE FULL LOGOF CLAIRE'S FFS RECOVERY, VISIT HER PAGE AT www.facebook.com/cleo.jane.sawyer/posts/459732837767406 *****************

He had a lot of before and after pictures for Claire to look at, and a 6-day stay in their clinic to include food and board was included in the price. It was a really nice facility, and Carolyn was glad that Claire had chosen 2Pass over PriyaMed in India, after seeing CT scans confirming friends had paid for procedures that were never even done (PriyaMed suuuuucks!). Dr. Bart and the entire 2Pass staff, including the resident who lived at the clinic and took care of all the patients, Petra, were very nice and friendly. We absolutely have complaints about the experience -- the implants that made my mouth look worse formonths, only to threaten my life, creating two more additional surgeries for me to undergo and recover from. The nerve damage on my chin, which I think could have been avoided if Dr. Bart didn't insist that CT scans are unnecessary while any upscale FFS place does CT scans. The complication under my eye which literally exploded out of my face, but only 14 months later. Letting me leave without my chin strap. Sending me home when I wasn't really fit to fly yet. Having a big wooden table with an irregular shape that people trip over, which is very easy when your eyes are sewn shut. Not shaving as much off my forehead quite as I'd hoped (but still an amazing forehead job!). Not doing as much jaw work as I'd hoped (and that nerve damage). Not including a neck lift in my package when it absolutely should have been (it's so saggy now & it has been indicated as something I should do by another FFS surgeon).The surgery was good -- I've had people tell me in private that my FFS is the best FFS they've ever seen (wow) -- but it wasn't A+ for us. It was more like a A- or B+ for results, B+ for price, C for choosing the right procedures to perform on me, and a C- for complications endured. We felt like there was a lot of room for improvement in our experience as well. Like they don't say what time of day to arrive, and only let you check into your room a few hours before your appointment. So we ended up being several hours late because of this -- they could simply let people in 6-8 hrs before their appointment, then we would have been able to aim earlier and not be late. But at the same time...no regrets. This surgery was the best thing to ever happen to me. I'm very happy with what 2Pass did for me. I just wish things had gone better.

Is Pelvic Floor Repair Major Surgery? by Restore Your Core

via

Pelvic floor repair surgery is the most common surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic floor repair is a broad term used to classify a variety of simple, surgical procedures for repairing the pelvic floor. The three surgeries for pelvic floor prolapse include anterior repair, posterior repair, and a hysterectomy.

Although Restore Your Core does not provide any surgical treatment for pelvic floor issues, my hope is that this article may answer any questions you may have regarding pelvic floor repair and the various procedures and treatments involved in getting you back to a healthy, active lifestyle.

What are the Symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

Prolapse can affect several abdominal organs. These organs are said to prolapse if they descend into or out of the vaginal canal or anus. The medical terminology for these occurrences include:

Cystocele: prolapse of the bladder into the vagina, the most common condition

Urethrocele: prolapse of the urethra (the tube that carries urine)

Uterine prolapse

Vaginal vault prolapse: prolapse of the vagina

Enterocele: Small bowel prolapse

Rectocele: Rectum prolapse

What Causes Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

There are many factors that are thought to cause a prolapse. In most cases, anything that may apply or put increased pressure in the abdomen can lead to a pelvic organ prolapse. Some of the common causes may include:

Pregnancy, labor, and childbirth are the most common causes

Obesity

Connective tissue disorders

Respiratory problems with a chronic, long-term cough

Constipation

Genetic factors

Pelvic organ cancers

Surgical removal of the uterus (hysterectomy)

Diastasis recti (weakened core, connective tissues)

Symptoms

The symptoms of a prolapse somewhat depend on which organ has descended. If you are suffering from a bladder prolapse, urinary incontinence may occur. If it is a rectal prolapse, constipation, painful bowel movements, and painful sex often occur. Lower back pain, painful sex, and bowel obstruction or incontinence tend to accompany a small intestine prolapse as well. If you are suffering from a prolapse of the uterus, you may also suffer from uncomfortable intercourse, incontinence, and lower back pain.

In some cases, there may never be signs of a prolapse or the presence of any painful symptoms. However, in others some women report symptoms ranging from:

Pressure or sense of fullness in the pelvic area

Lower back pain

Painful sex

Sensation of something falling out of the vagina

Urinary incontinence or frequent urination

Constipation

Spotting or bleeding from the vagina

In cases where there may be a severe prolapse, POP symptoms may worsen. One may notice:

Bulging of the vaginal region

Needing manual assistance during a bowel movement

Difficulty urinating, spraying stream of urine

The need to lift the bulging vagina in order to urinate

Urinary leakage during intercourse

Recurrent UTIs or kidney infections

How long does a pelvic floor repair operation take?

The length of the surgical procedure can vary greatly from patient to patient. The general estimate for the surgery ranges from around 3-5 hours, but may have a shorter or longer duration depending on various factors. Some of the elements that may determine the length of the operation can include:

Internal anatomy

Shape of the pelvis

Weight

Internal scarring or inflammation

Prior abdominal/pelvic floor surgery

Does Surgery Really Work?

Surgery to fix a uterine prolapse are usually successful. In most patients the surgeries for POP have been reported to have an 80% – 95% success rate.

The success rate for sacrospinous ligament fixation (surgery to correct the bulging of the vagina) ranges between 80% – 90%, for uterosacral ligament suspension (surgery restoring support to the top of the vagina) is also 80%-90% successful, and sacrocolpopexy (surgery fixing the vaginal vault and the cervix) and sacrohysteropexy (fixing the prolapse of the uterus) have also shown the same success rate.

However, even after prolapse surgery, there is still a chance that another part of the vagina or uterus may prolapse.

What Can I Expect After POP Surgery?

These are the general guidelines that doctors will usually give post POP OP (this is not medical advice): Each day in recovery you can expect to begin to feel stronger. During your recovery, you may need to remain on pain medication for about a week or two and may experience fatigue and weakness. A typical recovery time line varies from 4 to 6 weeks until you recover from an open surgery and anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks to recover from vaginal surgery. Your doctor should give you more specific guidelines.

During your recovery period, you should avoid any sexual activity, vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, or any activities that may put pressure or strain your operation area. Your doctor should give you more specific guidelines. The most important aspect to your quick recovery is rest – getting enough sleep will help you recover.

During your recovery, you might experience vaginal discharge or light bleeding. If so, avoid using tampons or douche. Use a sanitary pad if necessary. Your doctor should give you more specific guidelines.

How long do you stay in the hospital after prolapse surgery?

After your prolapse surgery, it is likely that you will need to remain hospitalized for 2 – 3 days depending on the operation and any underlying medical conditions you have. During this time your medical care takers will help ensure your recovery by monitoring for any potential complications and providing clean, sanitized treatment of the operation site.

Are There Complications with Prolapse Surgery?

Although pelvic surgery has proven to be a very safe procedure, as with any surgery, there are a few risks and potential complications that can arise. Please discuss this with your doctor but the common ones include:

Bleeding

Infection

Tissue or organ injury

Hernia

Conversion to open surgery

Urinary incontinence

Urinary retention

Vesicovaginal fistula (rare, abnormal connection between vagina and bladder)

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms of complications, it is important that you seek medical assistance. In some cases these symptoms can be common and unserious, but it is always best to consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

Can pelvic floor muscles be repaired?

If you have experienced a prolapse, uterine or otherwise, it can be a shocking and painful experience. However, there are ways to decrease symptoms without surgery.

Nonsurgical Treatments

There are several ways in which to treat a uterine or vaginal prolapse. The three most common approaches are pessary, restorative exercises, and biofeedback therapy.

Pessary

A pessary is probably one of the first treatments your doctor will recommend if you have symptoms of POP. A pessary is a ring shaped device that is inserted into your vagina. This will help support your pelvic organs. Being fitted for a pessary is a lot like being fitted for a diaphragm. Many of my clients with severe POP find that a pessary is useful for allowing them to live fuller lives while they slowly use PT and exercise to help resolve the prolapse.

Restorative Exercises & Physical Therapy

Pelvic floor exercises help strengthen your pelvic muscles. Although the most common exercise recommended by health professionals today is the kegel exercise, there are many more exercises that you can do that are helpful for restoring PF function and giving support for your pelvic organs. Kegels are a pretty outdated model of care when used alone, without a more whole body approach to healing.

What is involved in pelvic floor reconstruction?

Pelvic floor reconstruction surgery is a group of procedures that are performed to treat prolapse of uterus, rectum, small intestines, or other pelvic organs.

Anterior Vaginal Repair

Anterior repair is a surgical procedure that seeks to reinforce weakened layers between the bladder and the vagina. This surgery helps relieve symptoms such as vaginal bulging and to improve bladder function.

The surgery can be performed under general anaesthetic. The most common method of anterior repair is by an incision made along the centre of the front wall of the vagina – starting at the entrance and ending at the top of the vagina. The weakened layers are then repaired and anu superfluous tissue is removed. This is typically done with absorbable stitches.

Posterior Vaginal Repair

A back wall (posterior) vaginal prolapse is usually caused by weakness in the tissues and muscles that divide the vagina from the lower part of the bowel. This surgical procedure is performed to order to repair or restore the weakened layers between the rectum and the vagina.

As with an anterior vaginal repair surgery, posterior repair surgery is usually performed under general anesthetic. The procedure involves a minor incision being made along the back wall of the vagina starting at the entrance and finishing near the top. The weakened layers are then repaired using absorbable stitches.

Vaginal Hysterectomy

A vaginal hysterectomy is typically performed with a prolapsed uterus. This is when the uterus (womb) descends into the vagina and in some severe cases, protrudes or extends outside of the vaginal canal. The surgery is performed by removing the uterus through the vagina.

A vaginal hysterectomy is performed under general or spinal anaesthetic. In order to remove the uterus, the surgeon will make an incision at the top of the vagina around the cervix, clears the bowel and bladder from the uterus, and cuts through the connecting tissues to remove the uterus. The surgeon will then close the vaginal vault and commonly adds additional supporting stitches as the surgery is being performed.

Does Physical Therapy Help Post-Surgery?

If you are meeting with a physical / occupational therapist or taking part in a rehabilitation program Restore Your Core, post-surgery, some of the common exercises and techniques consist of:

Posture

Spine, pelvis, and hip alignment is necessary for a sustained recovery. Being mindful of good posture will help relieve any additional strain or pressure you apply to your pelvic region.

Restful Poses

These poses are positions which utilize gravity to encourage the pelvic organs to be “repositioned” back into the pelvic cavity.

Lower abdominal Exercises

This involves contracting the lower abdominal muscles while practicing dynamic and static exercises. If done correctly, it can limit the stress placed on the interior organs during activities which increase intra-abdominal pressure (i.e. squats).

PFM Strengthening

PFM strengthening exercises are a great way to help get your body back to its normal function and to heal from POP surgery. I advise getting instruction from a pelvic floor specialist who is trained in assessing the whole person to determine the appropriate exercise routines for you.

In my program, Restore Your Core, I cover many helpful exercises and routines that can help heal POP and any abdominal or core issues. To learn more about restorative exercises for uterine prolapse or other abdominal issues, consider checking out one of my previous blog posts on core workouts and exercises.

A team of U.S. Army soldiers from Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa recently concluded a month-long operation in concert with the Kenyan Army to develop a counter-Improvised Explosive Device (counter-IED) training program for East African militaries.

Drawing on their own experiences and training, the three-member U.S. team partnered with Kenyan Army soldiers to share information with four separate classes of service members from Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Sudan, Comoros and Uganda.

The initial goal was to ensure the Kenyans could teach the class on their own. By the end of their month in Nairobi, the Americans were doing little more than watching from the sidelines, said Army Staff Sgt. Joshua Moore, mission commander.

“When we first started, the student instructors didn’t know what IED stood for, but by the time we were finished, they were teaching the classes pretty much entirely on their own. We were able to sit back and only assist if needed,” he said.

The initial class was comprised of 20 Kenyan soldiers, eight of whom were selected to remain at the training facility to teach their fellow Africans the curriculum, Moore said. After the first week, each class was made up of about 45 soldiers from various branches of each participating nation’s military.

Each week also saw the Kenyan instructors leading more of the instruction, he said.

The course was conducted at the Humanitarian Peace Support School (HPSS) in Nairobi and consisted of five days of learning. Half of each was spent in a classroom environment and the other half conducting practical exercises. Initially, students learned to identify an IED and took an abbreviated first-aid course focusing on wounds commonly suffered in IED attacks, Moore said.

As the week progressed, the focus shifted to foot patrols and vehicle-borne operations, IED recognition, reaction procedures and basic demolition. As a capstone to the course, students prepared and employed a small, simple explosive charge.

“The purpose of the demolition was to allow them to see that the skills they learned out here really do work,” Moore said.

The U.S. Army team included Staff Sgt. Brendan Mcevoy and Sgt. Jerry Kastein of Company C, 2nd Combined Arms Battalion, 137th Infantry, Kansas National Guard. By the time the trio left Kenya, 149 African service members had graduated the course.

The lessons learned could potentially save hundreds, if not thousands, of lives, Moore said.

“In today’s warfare – and it’s happening everywhere in the world, not just Iraq and Afghanistan – IEDs are becoming a huge threat because they’re extremely cheap and effective,” he said. “So it’s important for every army to learn counter-IED procedures.”

The HPSS commandant, Col. Boniface Ngulutu, reiterated the point in his speech at a graduation ceremony.

“The awareness we are trying to create with this training is going to be very useful,” he said. “You have benefited, we have benefited as an institution, and we have benefited as a region.

“The impact we are going to create is huge,” Ngulutu said. “We are going to have you go back to your countries, back to your units, and when you go back, make use of this knowledge.”

Kenyan Army Senior Sgt. Kinyua Ireri, one of the eight original students selected to become a course instructor, said the shared learning experience would be highly beneficial to all who attended.

“We are very lucky to have the Americans here to share their experiences with us,” he said. “As a trainer, I believe that it is good to have knowledge, because knowledge always expels fear.”

Take Four Photographs Spott Church East Lothian Scotland 21 of 21 by PHH Sykes

2

Take Four Photographs and make them monotone to appreciate their perspective. Happen reflect them and then to extend them. The above procedure resulted in these photographs.

Information on the Church and the local area is available in the Church at opening times. The stones both in and around the church are an excellent historic document. I was on a trip between two Megalithic Standing Stones and also to the Witches' Stone just outside the village of Spott.

We were very fortunate to find the Church open and I used available light to catch what I could of the interior. We were greeted and made welcome and shown some of the history of the area from the fantastic records that were in the Church. Some of these pictures might be further edited as I have not been well. The over emphasis on scrutinising images as you edit can bring about strange views, nothing that a cup of tea and time away from the screen cannot cure. I feel that I need to make a return visit and ask about using a tripod to bring out the light better.

Same procedure as every year (yay!) - this weekend I had the joyful honor to attend the Cologne fashion doll collectors' convention : )!

It was a fantastic day, I met with old and dear friends and got to know a whole bunch of lovely new people. My funniest moment was when a very kind french lady and her daughter came to my table and my french skills left me within a second. I could only excuse myself (in french at least!) with a laughing "I DO speak french, but not at this moment" - obviously *rotf* ; )

Ah, it was great! My photos surely aren't the best, they're usually taken in a hurry and only at the beginning of the day, since I'm becoming very busy afterwards, but at least I really did take some :).

To all of you who are going to attend the IT convention soon - I'm wishing you tons of fun, have many, many great moments, meet old and new friends and enjoy every minute. In my heart I'll be with you *hugs*!

Everything you need to know about Braces | Braces And Aligners by The Dental Home

Here comes the great rescuer for those with bite and dental issues. One of the most well-known medical procedures in the entire globe is wearing braces. Braces are used to treat orthodontic problems in children and adolescents of all ages. You could wonder why they're so well-known, and the answer is that they function flawlessly. We are one of the leading Dental Clinic in Gurgaon. Our Orthodontist will provide all the necessary information related to braces. Generally, braces are required if you have crooked teeth or other forms of bite problems. An underbite, overbite, or even a crossbite may be one of these (link for bite issues). Your teeth will deteriorate faster if they are crooked, and they will also suffer from gum disease, jaw pain, and possibly speech difficulties. It can also change the way your face is built.

Bite problems, although modest, are generally manageable and don't significantly interfere with your regular activities. A severe underbite or overbite, for example, might wreck your social life and make dining a possible nightmare. In order to prevent the issue from getting worse over time, it is necessary to act quickly. As we can see from the potential outcomes, braces can practically rescue your daily life by allowing you to eat and speak with confidence. However, you must keep in mind that they might not always be the answer. Braces cannot cure a severe overbite or underbite that has already developed. For it, surgery is required.

HOW DO THEY FUNCTION?

Braces function in a fairly simple way. Your teeth get constant pressure from them. Your teeth will eventually return to their original positions as a result of the steady pressure, and your jaw will alter shape and resume having a normal bite. Although we refer to the jaw as moving, it is actually the gum tissue behind our gums that holds our teeth in place. By applying pressure to this membrane, braces can move the teeth back to their original position. Naturally, this also affects how we bite and eliminates potential over- or underbites.

DOES IT HURT ?

Your membrane being compressed and your teeth shifting positions may not sit well with you. Despite the fact that it "looks" like it could hurt you, it can't. It is a pretty small surgery in terms of dentistry treatments and takes anywhere from 2 hours to complete, depending on the dentist. After the installation, the only thing you might experience is a little soreness. This emotion will pass eventually. This soreness may briefly return after adjustments, but this is anticipated. Get in touch with your dentist right away if you believe you are in persistent discomfort. There could be a problem with the adjustment or the braces could be too tiny.

TYPES OF BRACES:

Braces are custom-made and adjusted to each patient's needs. Your situation will determine the kind you require. Most people are only familiar with traditional braces. These are made of metal and are plain to see from the outside. With the aid of its string, they are held together by their teeth and exert pressure on the jaw. There are additional types of braces you can purchase;

Discrete braces are most prevalent in adults. Since they are translucent, it is difficult to identify them. You may also remove them whenever you like. They are a wonderful choice for elderly users because of these qualities.

There is also the option of ceramic braces. They are less noticeable because they are not made of metal. In comparison to metal braces, they also appear more beautiful.

Linguel braces: They are entirely undetectable. Because of where they stay rather than their colour or material. These braces sit on the back of your teeth rather than the front. They are virtually invisible as a result.

Your teeth and membrane are under strain from braces. This pressure aids in tooth realignment and the treatment of patients' biting problems. The treatment is painless and lasts roughly two hours. Depending on the state of the patient, the course of treatment can last one to three years.

Gerrit Dou (1613-1675), active in Leiden

Doctor, 1653

Gerrit Dou, the oldest pupil of Rembrandt, by his with the utmost precision executed small format paintings became the founder of the Dutch "Fine art painting". His works that arose in exceedingly lengthy operations, yet during his lifetime have been very popular and sought after collector's items. Although the doctor, who gains his diagnosis from the check of the urine, follows a procedure accepted by mainstream medicine of the 17th century, but is characterized by his imaginative outfit as a charlatan.

Arzt, 1653

Gerrit Dou, der älteste Schüler Rembrandts, wurde durch seine mit äußerster Präzision ausgeführten kleinformatigen Gemälde der Begründer der holländischen "Feinmalerei". Seine Werke, die in überaus langwierigen Arbeitsvorgängen entstanden, fanden schon zu seinen Lebzeiten großen Anklang und waren gesuchte Sammlerstücke. Der Arzt, der seine Diagnose aus der Harnbeschau gewinnt, folgt zwar einem von der Schulmedizin des 17. Jahrhunderts anerkannten Verfahren, ist aber durch seine phantasievolle Aufmachung als Scharlatan charakterisiert.

Main building of the Kunsthistorisches Museum at Maria-Theresa-Square

The Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM abbreviated) is an art museum in Vienna. It is one of the largest and most important museums in the world. It was opened in 1891 and 2012 visited of 1.351.940 million people.

The museum

The Kunsthistorisches Museum is with its opposite sister building, the Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum), the most important historicist large buildings of the Ringstrasse time. Together they stand around the Maria Theresa square, on which also the Maria Theresa monument stands. This course spans the former glacis between today's ring road and 2-line, and is forming a historical landmark that also belongs to World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Vienna.

History

Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Gallery

The Museum came from the collections of the Habsburgs, especially from the portrait and armor collections of Ferdinand of Tyrol, the collection of Emperor Rudolf II (most of which, however scattered) and the art collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm into existence. Already In 1833 asked Joseph Arneth, curator (and later director) of the Imperial Coins and Antiquities Cabinet, bringing together all the imperial collections in a single building.

Architectural History

The contract to build the museum in the city had been given in 1858 by Emperor Franz Joseph. Subsequently, many designs were submitted for the ring road zone. Plans by August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Null planned to build two museum buildings in the immediate aftermath of the Imperial Palace on the left and right of the Heroes' Square (Heldenplatz). The architect Ludwig Förster planned museum buildings between the Schwarzenberg Square and the City Park, Martin Ritter von Kink favored buildings at the corner Währinger street/Scots ring (Schottenring), Peter Joseph, the area Bellariastraße, Moritz von Loehr the south side of the Opera ring, and Ludwig Zettl the southeast side of the Grain market (Getreidemarkt).

From 1867, a competition was announced for the museums, and thereby set their current position - at the request of the Emperor, the museum should not be too close to the Imperial Palace, but arise beyond the ring road. The architect Carl von Hasenauer participated in this competition and was able the at that time in Zürich operating Gottfried Semper to encourage to work together. The two museum buildings should be built here in the sense of the style of the Italian Renaissance. The plans got the benevolence of the imperial family. In April 1869, there was an audience of Joseph Semper with the Emperor Franz Joseph and an oral contract was concluded, in July 1870 was issued the written order to Semper and Hasenauer.

Crucial for the success of Semper and Hasenauer against the projects of other architects were among others Semper's vision of a large building complex called "Imperial Forum", in which the museums would have been a part of. Not least by the death of Semper in 1879 came the Imperial Forum not as planned for execution, the two museums were built, however.

Construction of the two museums began without ceremony on 27 November 1871 instead. Semper subsequently moved to Vienna. From the beginning on, there were considerable personal differences between him and Hasenauer, who finally in 1877 took over sole construction management. 1874, the scaffolds were placed up to the attic and the first floor completed, in 1878, the first windows installed, in 1879, the Attica and the balustrade finished, and from 1880 to 1881 the dome and the Tabernacle built. The dome is topped with a bronze statue of Pallas Athena by Johannes Benk.

The lighting and air conditioning concept with double glazing of the ceilings made the renunciation of artificial light (especially at that time, as gas light) possible, but this resulted due to seasonal variations depending on daylight to different opening times.

Empire

The Kunsthistorisches Museum was on 17 October 1891 officially opened by Emperor Franz Joseph I. Since 22 October 1891, the museum is accessible to the public. Two years earlier, on 3 November 1889, the collection of arms, Arms and Armour today, had their doors open. On 1 January 1890 the library service resumed its operations. The merger and listing of other collections of the Highest Imperial Family from the Upper and Lower Belvedere, the Hofburg Palace and Ambras in Tyrol needs another two years.

1891, the Court museum was organized in seven collections with three directorates:

Directorate of coins, medals and antiquities collection

The Egyptian Collection

The Antique Collection

The coins and medals collection

Management of the collection of weapons, art and industrial objects

Weapons collection

Collection of industrial art objects

Directorate of Art Gallery and Restaurieranstalt (Restoration Office)

Collection of watercolors, drawings, sketches, etc.

Restoration Office

Library

Very soon the room the Court Museum (Hofmuseum) for the imperial collections was offering became too narrow. To provide temporary help, an exhibition of ancient artifacts from Ephesus in the Theseus Temple was designed. However, additional space had to be rented in the Lower Belvedere.

1914, after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne, his "Estensische Sammlung (Collection)" passed to the administration of the Court Museum. This collection, which emerged from the art collection of the house of d'Este and world travel collection of Franz Ferdinand, was placed in the New Imperial Palace since 1908. For these stocks, the present collection of old musical instruments and the Museum of Ethnology emerged.

The First World War went by, apart from the oppressive economic situation without loss. The Court museum remained during the five years of war regularly open to the public.

Until 1919 the K.K. Art Historical Court Museum was under the authority of the Oberstkämmereramt (head chamberlain office) and belonged to the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. The officials and employees were part of the royal household.

First Republic

The transition from monarchy to republic, in the museum took place in complete tranquility. On 19 November 1918 the two imperial museums on Maria Theresa Square were placed under the state protection of the young Republic of German Austria. Threatening to the stocks of the museum were the claims raised in the following weeks and months of the "successor states" of the monarchy as well as Italy and Belgium on Austrian art collection. In fact, it came on 12th February 1919 to the violent removal of 62 paintings by armed Italian units. This "art theft" left a long time trauma among curators and art historians.

It was not until the Treaty of Saint-Germain on 10 September 1919, providing in Article 195 and 196 the settlement of rights in the cultural field by negotiations. The claims of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, and Italy again could mostly being averted in this way. Only Hungary, which presented the greatest demands by far, was met by more than ten years of negotiation in 147 cases.

On 3 April 1919 was the expropriation of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine by law and the acquisition of its property, including the "Collections of the Imperial House", by the Republic. On 18 June 1920 the then provisional administration of the former imperial museums and collections of Este and the secular and clergy treasury passed to the State Office of Internal Affairs and Education, since 10 November 1920, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Education. A few days later it was renamed the Art History Court Museum in the "Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna State", 1921 "Kunsthistorisches Museum" . Of 1st January 1921 the employees of the museum staff passed to the state of the Republic.

Through the acquisition of the former imperial collections owned by the state, the museum found itself in a complete new situation. In order to meet the changed circumstances in the museum area, designed Hans Tietze in 1919 the "Vienna Museum program". It provided a close cooperation between the individual museums to focus at different houses on main collections. So dominated exchange, sales and equalizing the acquisition policy in the interwar period. Thus resulting until today still valid collection trends. Also pointing the way was the relocation of the weapons collection from 1934 in its present premises in the New Castle, where since 1916 the collection of ancient musical instruments was placed.

With the change of the imperial collections in the ownership of the Republic the reorganization of the internal organization went hand in hand, too. Thus the museum was divided in 1919 into the

Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection (with the Oriental coins)

Collection of Classical Antiquities

Collection of Ancient Coins

Collection of modern Coins and Medals

Weapons collection

Collection of Sculptures and Crafts with the Collection of Ancient Musical Instruments

The Museum 1938-1945

Count Philipp Ludwig Wenzel Sinzendorf according to Rigaud. Clarisse 1948 by Baroness de Rothschildt "dedicated" to the memory of Baron Alphonse de Rothschildt; restituted to the Rothschilds in 1999, and in 1999 donated by Bettina Looram Rothschild, the last Austrian heiress.

With the "Anschluss" of Austria to the German Reich all Jewish art collections such as the Rothschilds were forcibly "Aryanised". Collections were either "paid" or simply distributed by the Gestapo at the museums. This resulted in a significant increase in stocks. But the KHM was not the only museum that benefited from the linearization. Systematically looted Jewish property was sold to museums, collections or in pawnshops throughout the German Reich.

After the war, the museum struggled to reimburse the "Aryanised" art to the owners or their heirs. They forced the Rothschild family to leave the most important part of their own collection to the museum and called this "dedications", or "donations". As a reason, was the export law stated, which does not allow owners to bring certain works of art out of the country. Similar methods were used with other former owners. Only on the basis of international diplomatic and media pressure, to a large extent from the United States, the Austrian government decided to make a change in the law (Art Restitution Act of 1998, the so-called Lex Rothschild). The art objects were the Rothschild family refunded only in the 1990s.

The Kunsthistorisches Museum operates on the basis of the federal law on the restitution of art objects from the 4th December 1998 (Federal Law Gazette I, 181 /1998) extensive provenance research. Even before this decree was carried out in-house provenance research at the initiative of the then archive director Herbert Haupt. To this end was submitted in 1998 by him in collaboration with Lydia Grobl a comprehensive presentation of the facts about the changes in the inventory levels of the Kunsthistorisches Museum during the Nazi era and in the years leading up to the State Treaty of 1955, an important basis for further research provenance.

The two historians Susanne Hehenberger and Monika Löscher are since 1st April 2009 as provenance researchers at the Kunsthistorisches Museum on behalf of the Commission for Provenance Research operating and they deal with the investigation period from 1933 to the recent past.

The museum today

Today the museum is as a federal museum, with 1st January 1999 released to the full legal capacity - it was thus the first of the state museums of Austria, implementing the far-reaching self-financing. It is by far the most visited museum in Austria with 1.3 million visitors (2007).

The Kunsthistorisches Museum is under the name Kunsthistorisches Museum and Museum of Ethnology and the Austrian Theatre Museum with company number 182081t since 11 June 1999 as a research institution under public law of the Federal virtue of the Federal Museums Act, Federal Law Gazette I/115/1998 and the Museum of Procedure of the Kunsthistorisches Museum and Museum of Ethnology and the Austrian Theatre Museum, 3 January 2001, BGBl II 2/ 2001, in force since 1 January 2001, registered.

In fiscal 2008, the turnover was 37.185 million EUR and total assets amounted to EUR 22.204 million. In 2008 an average of 410 workers were employed.
