The future ham processing and supply will be managed primarily from Rheda-Wiedenbrück and the Sögel site in Lower Saxony plans to close its ham production site in Ahlen The company, which rebranded its corporate identity effective this year plans to consolidate its ham production operations at its main site in Rheda-Wiedenbrück by 1 June Germany-headquartered meat producer PFG said in a statement that the future ham processing and supply will be managed primarily from Rheda-Wiedenbrück and the Sögel site in Lower Saxony In consolidating production in Rheda-Wiedenbrück and relocating “partial” quantities to Sögel in Lower Saxony “strong synergies” will be leveraged ensuring that the ham-cutting division is “optimally” positioned for the future Ahlen managing director Frank Böckenkötter said the business has “no longer been able to maintain high capacity utilisation” at the site adding “there is therefore no alternative to consolidating in Rheda” The company said the “majority” of the workforce will be offered jobs at the Rheda site and colleagues were “informed” of the plans earlier this week Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis said: “We are delighted to be able to offer the majority of our 210 colleagues a job we are aware of the upcoming changes and consequences for everyone involved and will accompany them responsibly and closely.” PFG also confirmed that consolidation will not affect delivery capability The Ahlen site will be “gradually” phased out with plant and machinery either relocated to other locations or sold although the business is “examining” various potential uses for the building The move comes as the company closed one of its export packaging departments for Asia in March last year the family-run business serves “millions of consumers” daily with a wide array of food products In September, PFG (then Tönnies) struck a deal to acquire beef assets in Germany from Netherlands-based peer Vion Nominations are now open for the prestigious Just Food Excellence Awards - one of the industry's most recognised programmes celebrating innovation This is your chance to showcase your achievements Don't miss the opportunity to be honoured among the best - submit your nomination today Give your business an edge with our leading industry insights View all newsletters from across the GlobalData Media network At 81-years-old local golfer Bob Ahlen remains as competitive as ever winning tournaments against opponents more than half his age Bob Ahlen was considered an excellent putter despite his unusual left-handed Attributing to Ahlen's success is his unique putting style based moreso on croquet than the putting often used in golf.  Pittsfield's Bob Ahlen passed away last week at 95 The Eagle's Richard Lord remembers Ahlen's legendary exploits as a golfer and his compassion as a person.  Subscribe today to access this story and all of our stories with 24/7 unlimited access Subscribe now for $3.99/month Subscriber Sign In | Return Home Richard Lord is The Eagle's golf columnist, with a journalism career spanning more than 50 years.

This could lead to a week filled with uncertainty.  Daniel Von Ahlen, senior macro strategist at GlobalData TS Lombard, indicates that the political climate in Washington could pose challenges for the stock market. Von Ahlen states, "If Trump announces tariffs that are harsher than currently anticipated, or opposes the gradual tariff plan recently proposed by his economic advisory team, the stock market could come under pressure."  According to Von Ahlen, the stock market's susceptibility to these developments is rooted in current market valuations that suggest investors maintain an optimistic outlook. He notes that one of the primary reasons the S&P 500 has risen nearly 60% since January 2023 is Wall Street's relatively pessimistic expectations regarding U.S. economic growth and corporate earnings per share.  He points out that the last time the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield hit 5% was in October 2023, when the S&P 500 entered correction territory. "If the market accepts our long-held view that the Federal Reserve will not cut rates this year, then the stock market will be walking on thin ice," he warns.  Considering that Trump's forthcoming tariffs may impact such a fragile market, Von Ahlen suggests the following trades: go long on U.S. high-yield credit through the iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, while shorting stocks using the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, "because in this scenario, stocks may underperform credit."Moreover, he adds that it is advisable to implement strict stop-loss measures "in the event that Trump makes more conciliatory remarks regarding tariffs."  The current environment reflects a complex interplay of political actions, economic forecasts, and market reactions. Investors will need to navigate this uncertainty carefully, as the implications of potential tariff changes and tightening financial conditions could significantly influence market dynamics in the weeks to come.  When considering shares, indices, forex (foreign exchange) and commodities for trading and price predictions, remember that trading CFDs involves a significant degree of risk and could result in capital loss. Past performance is not indicative of any future results.

disappearing or unexpectedly discontinuing communication It’s not just something people encounter in the dating world Data show both employers and candidates are ghosting each other at increasing rates Here’s a scary stat: according to a report from job-posting site Indeed 40 per cent of job seekers said an employer had ghosted them after a second- or third-round interview 78 per cent said they’d ghosted a prospective employer More on that side of the story and what employers can do to lower their chances of being ghosted next week “There are many reasons why a job may take too long to respond – the company’s communication culture management on [vacation] – the list is endless it’s not always your fault,” Jan Hendrik von Ahlen the managing director at Germany-based job-search site JobLeads von Ahlen points to a higher volume of candidates and more online interviews as possible culprits “Since the surge in online interviews and reduction of in-person first-stage interviews companies can easily assess more candidates without putting in the extra money and effort of meeting people in person,” he says the digital hiring process has become overwhelming for companies making replying to everyone harder than it was in the past.” Unemployment has been steadily rising since last year and digital platforms are also making it easier than ever to apply for a job “The huge volume of candidates means hiring managers don’t always have the time to relay the bad news,” Mr The good news is there are clear actions job seekers can take to try and avoid this disappearing act von Ahlen says cleaning up your social media before you go job hunting can make a big difference “Your social presence is an influential tool that can either boost or hinder your career,” he says He advises making your accounts private and being conscious of what you share online One “off” post could threaten your job offer “With the increased popularity of calling out employers for their habits on social media think carefully about the perception of anything you post that puts others in a bad light or that criticizes without being constructive they’ll assume you’d be willing to do so in other contexts von Ahlen says it’s also important to request a timeline ask about the internal processes or hiring timeline they are aiming for so you can manage expectations and avoid any frustration on either side This will give you a better idea of if you’re actually being ghosted If you don’t hear back within the timeline shared Tell the potential employer that you’re excited about the opportunity with a short expressing gratitude and checking in for an update von Ahlen says you can consider reaching out to someone else at the company if you have another point of contact or went through multiple interview stages and perhaps the most haunting part of it all is that you can’t fully control if you get ghosted “The competition is high and receiving feedback on the process – or better yet if you’ve followed up for a second time and still haven’t heard back it’s best to keep professional and move on to the next job,” he says This is the number of Gen Z’ers who say they will

criticism Shkodran Mustafi has endured during his four years at Arsenal he still has a World Cup winners’ medal the unfortunate man Mustafi replaced in the victorious 2014 squad after the winger injured his ankle his career plagued by the narrative of setbacks joining his boyhood club Borussia Dortmund at the age of six going so far as to wear a headband to mimic his hero when playing in his youth it would take a long time for Reus to grace the pitch of the Westfalenstadion in the footsteps of his hero Considered too thin and weak to make it in the professional game he was released shortly after turning 17 in 2006 It was to prove an expensive mistake for BVB Still determined to make it as a footballer Reus moved some 60km north-east to a club younger than himself Such fortunate recipients of the talent were LR Ahlen This came following a merger of TuS Ahlen and Blau-Weiß Ahlen with the ‘LR’ abbreviation standing for the cosmetics company of president Helmut Spikker In 1999/2000 the club won a Regionalliga playoff following this with a highest-ever finish of sixth in their debut campaign in the 2 the association of such a random side with a world-class talent as Reus is odd He would continue his development in the Ahlen academy quickly impressing in the A-Junioren Bundesliga West In only his third appearance Reus registered a brace against Rot-Weiß Essen going on to score eight more as Ahlen finished ninth in the 14-team division This campaign also brought about five matches for Ahlen’s reserve team who at the time played in the fourth tier Oberliga Westfalen Reus would get the second in a 3-2 win over Erkenschwick Of significance was the scorer of the Ahlen’s winner that day – Kevin Großkreutz The similarities of the pair’s early careers are staggering Großkreutz was born in Dortmund and grew up a boyhood BVB fan released from their academy in 2002 for the same reasons as his future teammate Blessed with natural pace and also a winger Großkreutz would make his first-team debut for Ahlen just as Reus was arriving at the Wersestadion in 2006 Read  |  The making of Zlatan Ibrahimović at Ajax Such importance of the overlapping career paths cannot be overstated with Großkreutz playing a key role in helping Reus settle in Ahlen with the young Reus choosing to shy away from interviews and publicity Developing with someone from such a similar background was of huge significance for Reus with the pair even living together during their time in Ahlen His flatmate would become a regular for the first team in the 2006/07 season with Reus joining him for the first time during the following campaign Coming off the bench in a 3-1 home defeat to Rot-Weiß Oberhausen in September 2007 for the remainder of this season Reus would be restricted to substitute appearances at the end of games Most of his football this season would come in the youth team where he would better his previous figures to score 12 goals in just 19 league games using his pace and direct running to leave defenders in his wake The effectiveness of this was seen in braces recorded in a narrow away loss to Köln and 2-2 draw at Dortmund alongside a hat-trick in a frantic 5-4 win over Arminia Bielefeld Reus would also score on his next start for the first team on the final day of the season at Babelsberg where the now renamed Rot Weiss Ahlen would lift the Regionalliga Nord trophy Such performances meant it was only a matter of time before Christian Wück kept the young prodigy in the first-team setup Despite the step up in quality brought on by Ahlen’s promotion to the 2 the coach decided the young Reus was ready He came on at half time during the opening day win over FSV Frankfurt replacing Martin Stahlberg in the left wing role he is now synonymous with although he returned to devastating effect the following week grabbing his first goal of the season at Oberhausen Pulling proceedings level on the stroke of half time with partner in crime Großkreutz bagging one of the second-half goals Wück oversaw an impressive start to the season with Ahlen riding high in fourth until the middle of October registering an assist against Wehen Wiesbaden in late September crossing for one-third of free-scoring central striker Lars Toborg’s hat-trick in another 3-1 win Reus would again find himself on the scoresheet levelling in an eventual 1-1 draw with recently relegated Nürnberg Read  |  The making of Luis Suárez: a year in Groningen this was to be the last result of note for Ahlen for some time Following this came a horrendous run from mid-October right into February 2009 Such form would ultimately cost Wück his job with the coach sacked on 3 March after a goalless draw at lowly Hansa Rostock Wück’s faith in Reus would have a profound impact on German football for the next decade By now the winger’s place in the Ahlen starting line-up was assured with interim boss Bernd Heemsoth continuing to put faith in the youngster This decision was well merited when Reus scored the only goal in Heemsoth’s first game in charge New permanent boss Stefan Emmerling was slightly more sceptical omitting Reus from three of his seven matchday squads with Reus still contributing when he did get on the pitch He would score his final goal in Ahlen colours in a 2-0 win over relegated Ingolstadt on 10 May 2009 Reus would come off the bench for his last appearance playing 26 minutes of a 2-2 draw at Osnabrück Borussia Mönchengladbach had announced his signing Ahlen would finish bottom and be relegated to the 3 to signal the differing trajectories the two would take in the coming years In August 2009 Reus made his Germany under-21 debut against Turkey two days after his bow for Gladbach where he came on for Karim Matmour in a 3-3 draw at Bochum Being used in this capacity for the several weeks that followed before long Michael Frontzeck had seen enough promise in the 20-year-old Reus would play his first full Bundesliga game in October 2009 going on to score eight goals as he started every remaining league game that season Three more productive years at Gladbach ensued had dropped to the fifth tier Nordrhein-Westfalen-Liga Reus swapped the suffix to complete a full circle return to Dortmund Fittingly waiting for him there was Großkreutz in that time he has still been crowned Bundesliga Player of the Season on three occasions and been appointed captain of his boyhood club Reus still only has one league title to his name what he achieved the 2007/08 Regionalliga now seems a mere footnote to his career though – it stands as a testament to his convoluted rise to the top and a simple fact: were it not for Rot Weiss Ahlen the world would not have the brilliant Marco Reus By James Kelly @jkell403

Parralox is fronted by out singer John von Ahlen but that is definitely not a position that came easily him While they continue to champion synthesized wave pop sounds made famous by Depeche Mode Parralox has dropped their ninth studio album he caught up with me to talk about stepping in to the frontman spot of Parralox and what this unique and electro-wonderful band have coming up in 2020 Michael Cook: So Parralox has new music and it’s the ninth album; how does it feel I am kind of amazed that we have made it this far (laughs) When you think about being in a band and making music When you can look back and see that it has been ten years and realize you have made it this far To actually try and keep the caliber of the music up to a level that makes you and the fans happy that is another kettle of fish all together MC: How would you describe your sound for those that have not heard it JvA: It really does depend on who I am talking to I tell them that it is electronic dance/pop music but you could categorize it by saying it is EDM with heavy pop leaning maybe I would sum it up as electronic pop music with a bit of an edge you did not want to enter into the music industry JvA: I definitely did not intend on being a lead singer although I had played in the music industry for quite a while I grew up as a tech geeky kind of kid; my mom and I would go window shopping but my dad and I bonded on a technical level He introduced me to computers and technology I was listening to my mother’s music and those two worlds just collided I would always dream of synthesizers when I was younger I ended up in a production sort of role after that I worked with songwriters and lyricists and I was very comfortable being the guy behind the scenes the guy behind the curtain twiddling the knobs doing my thing and not having to be in the front MC: Did front people for a band always have to have a certain “look” from your perspective JvA: There are other people who look fabulous-not that I don’t look fabulous (laughs)-there are others though that are superstars and happy to be up front We had Roxy (Martin) as our first vocalist who was amazing and then Amy who came after Roxy After three or four years after Amy leaving the band I found myself in a position saying “here we go again We did an album of cover versions called “Recovery” it was our first sort of covers album One of them was a cover of The Alan Parsons Project “Eye In the Sky” and my manager at the time thought that it should be a single; it ended up being our most popular single at the time We ended up shooting a proper video for it and it ended up becoming very successful and somehow I fell into being in the lead role I am sort of stepping up in terms of being a front person now; I did not look for it you have actress and 80’s icon Jane Badler on vocals because I idolized her during the 80’s from watching V; she’s incredible who doesn’t remember her with that rat (laughs) I am a major science fiction geek and here in Melbourne she has established herself as an amazing jazz singer I have seen quite a few of her shows in Melbourne over the decade admiring her from afar A record label in England that I had done some remix and production work reached out to me and mentioned that they had a singer that wanted to do some pop music and that they thought I would be great to produce her When they said it was Jane Badler and asked I I would like to do it I think she was supposed to do the majority of the songs with someone else The guys at the label thought we could do one of two songs I showed her songs that I had written and she loved a lot of them We narrowed it down to four songs and she loved them all She messaged me at the end of 2019 and mentioned that a few things had happened but was definitely still interested in the music I was in the production and demo process for “Genesis” and then it occurred to me; three of the songs that we had recorded were Parralox songs anyway and that’s how Jane Badler ended up on the album We are planning on shooting an album on the song she recorded and if we can get that as a video MC: Your sound is very broad and has a very electronic 80’s style In terms of the bands that I love personally The Alan Parsons Project and even The Carpenters It’s a blend of the bands that I knew as a youngster and the music my parents listened to as well you get a music education in terms of song structure you find your bands that are cool that your parents don’t like I like a blend of the old and the new and that’s what sums up Parralox as well and Rami Malek was an Oscar for playing Freddie Mercury Who would you want to see start as you in a biopic https://youtu.be/ioQ7k7fMlns MC: What do you see as something you truly want to accomplish in 2020 we are headlining a festival in Manchester at Factory Records We are going to do another festival in June or July We are going to release the first single from Genesis as well we are working on a tribute album for the Human League which his expected in March I plan on releasing three singles from the Genesis album I have not figured out which ones just yet I designed the album to have as many songs to release as singles as possible We aways have a holiday album called Holiday19 some cover versions of songs that the fans request I have stated work on those already and have already started work on the next album You must keep going or you lose that momentum I also will have a radio show called Neon Nights on Australia’s largest LGBTI radio station I do that sow every Saturday and we interview amazing artists as well like Roisin Murphy and Danni Miogue this year Sometimes we end up forming a connection and working with them so it ends up working quite nicely for Parralox as well For All Things Parralox, visit https://parralox.com/ Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value"
