Chaz Offenburg is the new chief financial officer for the Town of Carrboro Chaz Offenburg was named the new chief financial officer for the Town of Carrboro Offenburg's appointment will become effective on Nov Offenburg worked for Orange County for six years most recently as a deputy chief financial officer Offenburg said this role included working with the county CFO on payroll financial systems and accounting.   According to a press release from the Town Offenburg graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a master's degree in public administration.  Offenburg said he is from the area and went to elementary school in Carrboro “I moved around some in my childhood and adulthood the idea of giving back and representing my community and the role that I would be in,” Offenburg said.  Council member Jason Merrill said the CFO ensures budget priorities are met by allocating funds to key issues like affordable housing transportation infrastructure and climate initiatives.  The CFO manages day-to-day financial operations tracks spending and provides guidance on budget adjustments for the Town “The CFO is kind of the top of the pyramid just making sure everything goes where it should,” Merrill said.  said the CFO position is one of the most important positions in town government.  “The chief financial officer manages the resources and makes sure that our taxpayer dollars and all revenue sources that come into the Town are properly managed and allocated and spent according to our ordinances and legal processes to run this town,” Toney said.  Toney said it was essential to find someone who understands the unique processes and fiscal responsibilities of local government particularly North Carolina's laws and management of taxpayer funds.  The soft skills to communicate complex financial data effectively to department heads and town council members were equally important “A well rounded person is critical for a chief financial officer in local government,” Toney said.  Offenburg said transparency and participation are both very important to local government.  There are opportunities for public input at council meetings including participatory budgeting that provides community members the possibilities of allocating funding towards certain projects “The way I have always seen it is helping people help run their programs which in turn helps people in the community,” Offenburg said.   The Town seeks a stable hand to maintain its sound financial management while supporting a range of council priorities affordable housing and economic development Offenburg also said he looks forward to collaborating with the Town's staff to meet community needs and goals.  “I know the [town] manager is in her first year and she has a really good handle on the needs of the community and the needs that the board wants to focus on so I'm looking forward to to moving in and learning more about that and being an asset to her and the council,” Offenburg said @DTHCityState | city@dailytarheel.com abuseThe Offenburg University in Germany explored incidents of sexual harassment over voice chat by Cass Marshall two popular online multiplayer shooters from Riot Games and Blizzard Entertainment The results showed that sexual harassment and abusive comments are still an unfortunately common part of online play experiences with the authors suggesting a larger study should be carried out across a wider range of games “Sexual Harassment in Valorant and Overwatch Voice Chats,” covers two studies — one that focused on both games which shows subjects encounter a regular stream of both toxic Both games have professional esports scenes and both encourage players to climb a competitive ladder The first study followed two female players and transcribing the voice chats throughout each match which puts her in approximately the top 37% of players skill-wise The researchers saw several instances of general harassment over the 19 observed Overwatch matches with no instances of sexual harassment during these matches which places her in the top 33% of players The researchers observed 9 Valorant matches in which both general and sexual harassment occurred longer-term study followed four subjects over the course of 30 Valorant matches each The study shows continual instances of sexual harassment encountered during online gaming There were 82 cases of sexual harassment logged over 120 matches Sexual comments and insults were found in 14.17% of matches The subjects also encountered a regular stream of non-specific toxicity; 80.8% of 120 matches had profanity and general verbal abuse occurred in 25.8% of matches While sexual harassment is less common than general toxicity it is consistent — about one in every seven Valorant matches included a teammate sexually harassing a subject over voice chat Correction: This story previously omitted details about the results of each individual game’s results from the first study.

A 37-year-old psychotherapist from Alsace dies after an attack in the Offenburg station district. The police investigate with a large contingent - and quickly make a find. Grief and horror in Offenburg, Baden: a 37-year-old French woman is killed in the middle of the busy station district. The police set up a special task force. The victim of the suspected homicide was a commuter from the neighboring Strasbourg area and worked in Offenburg, according to a police spokesman. According to initial investigations, the psychotherapist was on her way home early Tuesday evening when the attack occurred in a backyard in the immediate vicinity of the practice where she worked. On Wednesday afternoon, the police provisionally arrested a possible suspect. He is a 42-year-old German man who was arrested by special forces in his apartment in Offenburg's Weststadt district. Whether the suspect is connected to the dead woman is now the subject of further investigations, the police announced. A witness had found the seriously injured woman and called the police. Despite first aid, the 37-year-old died, the investigators reported. An autopsy should provide further information. According to witnesses, the woman was seen lying in the area of the crime scene at around 6.30 pm. Forensics examined the victim's car in the immediate vicinity of the crime scene. The yard is located in a commercial and business district and can be seen from a thoroughfare. Next door is a popular shopping district. For tactical reasons, no further details were initially given about the possible murder weapon. The spokesperson reported "serious violence" - which initially made it difficult to identify the woman. "We have clues and leads that we are following up," he said. Offenburg's Lord Mayor Marco Steffens (CDU) said he was deeply shocked by the act of violence. "Such a horrific crime in our city leaves many stunned and saddened," said the mayor. The city has over 62,000 inhabitants. One day after the crime, investigators were still present at the cordoned-off commercial area in the city center. They searched for traces and evidence. Just a few meters away, people were shopping and hanging out in cafés and other bars. "Can I walk through here? What happened?" asked a passer-by, looking irritatedly at the barriers. More than 60 officers are investigating in the "Ramp" special commission, according to the police. They are investigating in "all directions" - including the psychotherapist's patients, the spokesman said. Witnesses are still being sought. A seemingly insignificant observation could turn into a hot lead in retrospect, according to a statement. According to initial findings, an adult movie theater in the area had nothing to do with the crime, a spokesperson said. Offenburg in the Ortenau district is located in the German-French border region - it is only around 20 kilometers to the border of the neighboring country. Many people commute to Germany from France every day. There is a direct train connection between the city in Baden and the Alsatian metropolis of Strasbourg. Many commuters also take the car.

GERMANY — Not since the early part of the last decade has North America dispatched a leader in World Cup mountain bike racing Willow Koerber (Subaru-Gary Fisher) will take her place on the front line in round three of the UCI World Cup Mountain Bike Series in Offenburg She earned the lead by placing second in the first two rounds while the world’s other elite cross-country racers posted scattered results and compatriots Georgia Gould (Luna Pro Team); Katie Compton (Stevens/Planet Bike); and Canada’s Catharine Pendrel (Luna Pro Team) will each go to Offenburg with solid aspirations to finish on the podium “All these women are also racing consistently well internationally so competition is good,” Pendrel said referring to the depth of talent in the women’s field “I think you are seeing more women racing with the confidence they could win There is no one great standout rider like Gunn Rita was People used to race for second; now they dig deeper because a win is possible.” The buzz around Koerber really started to hum following last year’s World Mountain Bike Championships in Canberra The performance marked both a personal triumph for Koerber and a game-changer in women’s pro mountain biking Koerber changed her mind about a few “minor” things like who she was and how she wanted her life to turn out Colorado where she met her current boyfriend who has a rainbow jersey of a former world downhill champion (2000) hanging in his closet Koerber admits to having a light side and a dark side which eclipsed everything else much of the time She credits Rockwell for helping her change her attitude about racing “My results in the second half of last year were a direct result of this change in attitude,” Koerber said and I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it Someone who not only noticed but who made sure everyone else noticed was Koerber’s former RLX-Polo Ralph Lauren teammate and two-time Olympian “Willow has evolved to be the racer she is because of hard work and dedication,” Dolzadelli said “She is committed to the sport that saw her going through ups and downs Willow is happy now,” Dolzadelli continued she is more mature and has made a few changes to her training but mostly all the years of racing and training are coming together to click at the right time.” What it will take to win on Sunday will be superlative technical skills matched to superior fitness — and preferably a first- or second-row call-up to the start line “Offenburg is always a huge race — tons of racers and spectators,” Georgia Gould said “The course is challenging technically and physically and there is lots of single-track A good start is crucial because you can lose lots of time getting stuck behind people in the single-track — trust me Different this year in Offenburg will be the presence of big-wheeled bikes 29er loyalists earned a vote in their favor earlier this year when Germany’s sanctioning body for cycling That means Koerber and Irmiger will be able to race on the bikes that they’ve each credited on various occasions for their recent successes who will make her 2010 World Cup debut in Offenburg onboard German bike brand Stevens will be racing a 26-inch bike this weekend “They are building me a prototype 29er so I hope to have that one soon too but I won’t have it for this weekend,” Compton said “I like having the ability to choose the bike that works best for the course.” current world champion Irina Kalentieva (Topeak/Ergon) not only for her prowess but because she races for a German company and fans have claimed her as one of their own especially now that she’s racing on a German-engineered bike Absent from Sunday’s race will be Luna’s Katerina Nash who will remain in North America to attend a product launch for Orbea Racing in

season The win in Tryon came just months after Lorenzo suffered a broken foot which meant he and Silvia’s winter season was cut short “My target for 2019 is to repeat the success of last season and improve my score - especially in the compulsory test,” Lorenzo told FEI.org “I'm so happy with my performance in Salzburg but I also know there is a lot of things to improve I want to prepare a more challenging performance for 2019.” the Women’s and Pas De Deux (PDD) World Champion in 2016 finished in silver medal position behind the Italians in the FEI World Equestrian Games™ Pas De Deux in Tryon last year she became the first FEI world champion in the newly added discipline of PDD It was also the first world title for Austria in Vaulting because she’s really young and able to be competitive in PDD Squad and individual,” he said “She gets top results in all aspects and I really like her style as she is soft on the horse.” Lupacchini beat the likes of Lukas Heppler and Juan

stress and big goals,” he said “I want make a fun freestyle and show everyone I'm able to perform like I do in training.” As the FEI Vaulting World Cup™ season moves into full swing this weekend will

PDD and Squad,” he said He’s not so confident about his individual chances While he will be competing alone this weekend in Offenburg he doesn’t think his individual career has had many “great highlights.” The intense level of work and commitment it takes to become a dentist and a gold medal vaulter leaves the Italian with a very limited amount of free time for other activities “I haven’t

1950 the book explores Wolff and Tritschler’s roles as pioneers of the Leica as forerunners of illustrative photography and as creators of an extensive archive of work that documents several chapters of German history Wolff and Tritschler are known for photographing the years of the Weimar Republic – Germany’s government from 1919 to 1933 – through to the rise of Nazi Germany and in the devastation of the Second World War their work has established them as the two most significant photographers of this period in German history Light and Shadow features 1,000 of their photographs shot during this time Although now considered pioneers of the artform the pair did not approach photography in a way that was typical of the time Wolff formally studied medicine and became a physician in Strasbourg but when his practice was restricted by the French controlling the area after the first world war he turned to photography and established the publishing firm Wolff & Tritschler with Alfred Tritschler he won a Leica camera at the Frankfurt Photography Exhibition which he then used to illustrate several books with Tritschler each popularizing new techniques using the small-format camera draws on the contradictions that characterizes the pair’s work Among them are snapshots of the 1936 Olympics a colour photograph of the after effects of the war the book acknowledges Wolff and

Ernst Leitz Museum EXPERT OPINION BY MINDA ZETLIN, AUTHOR OF 'CAREER SELF-CARE: FIND YOUR HAPPINESS, SUCCESS, AND FULFILLMENT AT WORK' @MINDAZETLIN But unless your audience reaches into the tens of millions every month That sobering truth is the result of elaborate research by Mathias Bärtl professor at Offenburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany Bärtl and his team worked hard to come up with a random sample of YouTube channels and calculate how many viewers (and thus how much ad revenue) each might receive The platform doesn’t reveal its formula for calculating ad revenue which can vary according to several factors such as which country viewers are watching from But they’re still depressing enough to convince any sensible person hoping for a career as a YouTube star to start looking for a Plan B Income inequality is a huge problem in society at large, but it may be even bigger among YouTube partners (as the company calls its content creators who meet the criteria to receive ad revenue) the top 3 percent of channels got 90 percent of the viewership which means that 90 percent of YouTube creators are fighting over the remaining 10 percent the top 3 percent got 86 percent of the views To get into that rarified top 3 percent of Bärtl’s sample you would have to have more than 1.4 million views per month Maybe you think you can make it to that level–you’ll be posting really great content every day and sharing it with your large social media following your average payment from YouTube will amount to less than $17,000 a year That’s based on an estimate of $1 per 1,000 views according to those familiar with YouTube’s partner and advertising programs The company doesn’t release its payment formula but insiders say it can range from a low of $0.25 per 1,000 views to a high of $5 per 1,000 views Even the total number of YouTube partners who qualify for ad revenue isn’t published by Google But just to give you a sense of how many creators are out there for you to compete with the company does say that YouTubers upload 400 hours of video every minute and for YouTubers who do rake in the big bucks sponsored posts are an important part of the mix But before you can really cash in on sponsorships you need to build up a very large subscriber base Subscribers are obviously a lot harder to get than views influencers with at least 100,000 subscribers on YouTube can get an average of $12,500 for a sponsored post with payments going up rapidly if you have one million subscribers or more But those figures refer to endorsements by people who are celebrities in their own right Someone who’s only well known on YouTube might not command that kind of pay You’re old enough and wise enough not to plan on a glorious future as a YouTube star you

convenience for passengers – regional rail transport on Network 8 (“Ortenau”) is rising to a new level on April 8 Today’s the day the first four battery-powered trains from Siemens Mobility begin regular service The official start was celebrated by an exclusive inaugural trip from Offenburg to Oberkirch and back Minister of Transport for the state of Baden-Württemberg “We are writing a new chapter in railway history with this opening trip,” commented Minister Hermann “Thanks to the battery hybrid drive of the Mireo Plus B trains operating in the Ortenau region as of today are more climate-friendly than those using diesel Baden-Württemberg is a pioneer with innovative train technology climate-friendly solutions wherever there are still no overhead power lines.” SWEG CEO Tobias Harms said: “SWEG not only stands for quality We are especially pleased to now be able to make these innovative trains available to our passengers and will be demonstrating our role as a reliable partner to both the state of Baden-Württemberg and Siemens Mobility.” said: “We are proud that our first fleet of Mireo Plus B battery trains is now going into passenger service We would like to thank the state of Baden-Württemberg and SWEG for their trust and confidence in our innovative and environmentally friendly technology we can make an active contribution to climate protection The introduction of these highly advanced trains which can operate up to 120 kilometers on battery power marks an important step towards a sustainable future.” The hybrid trains will initially be used on the routes from Offenburg to Bad Griesbach and from Offenburg to Hornberg They replace the diesel-powered Regio Shuttle RS1 Plans call for gradually extending hybrid service on other routes in the network In preparation for introducing the Siemens Mobility trains the network timetable was adjusted in mid-December 2023 have been running straight through from Offenburg via Hausach to Hornberg without requiring changes And passengers traveling to Freudenstadt usually have to change trains in Hausach since the battery trains can serve the Freudenstadt station on the regular schedule only when an additional switch connection has been installed there As a result of the timetable change in December 2023 passenger service has been improved by closing previous gaps in the schedule Trains now operate at least on an hourly basis on all routes from early morning to evening we are increasing the service frequency and providing higher capacity Passengers now have more comfortable and attractive options for changing trains and boarding – whether in the cities or country,” noted Minister of Transport Hermann Innovative train: the Siemens Mireo Plus B the Mireo Plus B battery-electric multiple-unit trains produce no emissions and are extremely quiet they can be used on routes with and without overhead power lines when they operate throughout the entire network and replace the diesel-powered Regio Shuttle they will slash consumption of diesel by around 1.8 million liters per year In battery operation and under real conditions the Mireo Plus B has a range of up to 120 kilometers Its batteries can be recharged from the overhead line and with braking energy includes two battery containers holding lithium-ion batteries with a long service life The trainsets have 120 seats and are equipped with a toilet air conditioning and spacious special use areas Manufacturer Siemens Mobility won Baden-Württemberg’s open-technology call for tenders for Network 8 with its Mireo Plus B design This led to Baden-Württemberg’s State Agency for Rail Vehicles (SFBW) ordering 27 Mireo Plus B two-car The trains will be serviced and maintained by Siemens Mobility for SWEG for about 30 years in the newly built rail maintenance depot in Offenburg that opened in June 2023 predictive maintenance of the trains is made possible by the use of the cloud-based Siemens Mobility Railigent X Suite application Thanks to advanced algorithms and data analytics train operations are optimised and potential disruptions are detected and handled before they lead to breakdowns This ensures 100 percent availability of the fleet The charging infrastructure for the new trains was installed by SWEG Schienenwege GmbH at the Achern and Biberach (Baden) train stations Following the timetable change made in mid-December 2023 Network 8 (“Ortenau”) includes the following routes: Offenburg – Hornberg/Freudenstadt; Offenburg – Bad Griesbach; Offenburg – Achern – Ottenhöfen; and Biberach (Baden) – Oberharmersbach-Riersbach the reactivated Hermann Hesse line between Calw and Renningen is planned to become part of the network as of 2025 Network 8 handles around two-and-a-half

themselves in person I’m about 4 years old and come from the streets of Romania – I was really lucky that my colleague Rebecca found me online when she was looking for a new office dog (there was another before me but I definitely have a lot in common with Cretan hounds and I can run as fast as them when I go to the park But I also have a lot of respect for the black and white cat that’s always loitering by the stream and likes to frighten me Where does your owner work and what is her name My owner, Sandra Georgi, works for Adtech Factory in Offenburg, where she looks after countertrade. I long for the day when Hund im Glück (Lucky Dog) has its own countertrade and my buddy Barth and I can get treats from the editorial team I’ll lie patiently on my blanket next to the desk and watch everything that goes on in the open-plan office entertain the staff and help them manage their work/life balance How often do you come to the office and what does a typical day look like my owner and I walk to the office through the park; we live up on the hill and always walk to work When I pass the Burda Bambini kindergarten I’m always pleased to see my colleague Gernot and his son When I arrive I get a treat from Heike and later on I get something from Regina If my owner goes into a meeting without me I usually get a bit upset and even a treat doesn’t make me feel better When the rest of the team return from lunch I know that my owner and I are about to go out Regina usually gives me another treat and then I lay down on my blanket for an afternoon nap In the afternoon I usually get to see my master who also works at Adtech Factory up on the third floor My colleague Rebecca takes me up there if my owner is busy What is your favourite spot at Adtech Factory but I love to be with the scheduling team on the third floor and with my owner at her desk Pretty much everyone comes by to stroke me there’s no stopping me – I know that she’ll always give me some Elena really respects dogs – you could say I’m the office therapist the occasional bit of natural yoghurt and plenty of treats My colleague Dirk sometimes spoils me with a bit of liquorice although my owner curses him for it (if she finds out) Who is your favourite person in the office and why Obviously the ladies in my team are top of the list but Adtech Factory has a great atmosphere and I like the whole pack very sick and everyone kept their fingers crossed for me and came to visit when I was feeling bad after my weekly chemotherapy – I’ll never forget that Are there any other office dogs beside you sometimes comes to Offenburg with his owner Nadine but they actually work at the Adtech Factory office in Munich He’s very attentive and cleans my ears and tummy but he can easily keep up with me in the park at lunchtime – that’s really fun Once I was in the park with Nadine and Balou and I walked back to the Medienpark all by myself Everyone was agitated and cursing; I still don’t understand why a beagle who works in Munich with his owner Frank and sometimes comes to Offenburg He sweeps the office floor with his nose like a vacuum cleaner Bubbly Renzo also visits the Medienpark now and again with his owner Truth be told - What mischief have you ever done in the office I’d been here about two weeks when I had the crazy idea to chew the cable on Rebecca’s mouse Everyone was very upset and I was really ashamed of myself – luckily I’m so cute that nobody can stay mad at me for long What do you look forward to the most after work We usually have errands to run in the city and bump into lots of two- and four-legged friends I look forward to going home with my owner and we’ll spend the evening together in the open-plan kitchen or – if my master and owner let me – I’ll get up on the sofa on my

Burda’s office dogs are also mostly working from home Danish–Swedish farmdog Danska from corporate HR tells us all about it When she’s not busy snoozing in the Munich office Aylin likes to sneak treats and cuddles from co-workers Today we are introducing the Dachshund/Spaniel power couple Emily & Enno from Munich Mrs Burda embodied the West German ‘"Wirtschaftswunder" I was born this way.“ This is the Aenne Burda quote from 1994 with which the new book “Aenne Burda – Kindheit und Jugend in Offenburg“ begins And this attitude in life was the basis for her subsequent success as the mother of today’s company Hubert Burda Media The German TV channel Das Erste showed the first part of the two-part feature film "Aenne Burda – Die Wirtschaftswunderfrau“ on 9 December at 8.15 pm The daughter of a railroader from Offenburg had a clear goal in mind She was like a train that cannot be stopped but wants to go out into the world Driven and spurred on by an iron will and a burning ambition Growing up as a railroader’s daughter from Gaswerkstraße in Offenburg Aenne Burda strove for greater things even when she was a child who was six years older – he was her ticket out of the coal-dusted railroad world With him she had made her way into high society Franz Burda only owned a small printing company The purchase of a gravure printing press was his breakthrough With women he was just as successful as was he was as an entrepreneur Despite his happy family life and the three sons he had with Aenne the publisher had a second relationship with another woman But that was not all: He financed a fashion magazine – “Elfi Moden” – for his mistress exactly the kind of magazine his wife wanted to create she challenged her competitor and was given the debt-ridden publishing company with 48 members of staff in 1949 she was no longer merely the “senator’s” wife but Aenne Burda: independent and visionary What was special about her was that she consistently made her dreams come true spontaneous and stood up for her decisions The price she was willing to pay was ten to twelve hours at the office every day she mostly only saw her family for breakfast or on the weekend Aenne Burda fulfilled her desire for independence and freedom at a time in which emancipation was still unheard of Aenne wrote in one of her columns later on that’s what it comes down to.” She appreciated women who roll up their sleeves and work for their independence and self-reliance in which girls and women were only beginning to pursue a career Later on she said: “I am a typical example of a time when everything changed.” Aenne created her own recipe for success: a mix of wearable do-it-yourself fashion “I’m a practical woman through and through and I knew what women need” little ready-to-wear clothing was available While sewing patterns had existed since the 19th Century printed them at the senator’s printing company she had the women in Offenburg measured to be able to determine the actual sizes the cuts kept being adapted to the average German woman’s body The first issue of the magazine that she called "Burda Moden“ was published in 1950 weil sie nach Burda Moden nähte“ (“Kate has a husband now because she used Burda Moden to sew“) was the advertising slogan of the early years from 1950 onwards Aenne had a mission: She wanted to make women more beautiful everyone was able to make and wear fashionable stylish clothes inspired by Paris fashion shows Aenne had her finger on the pulse – money for fashion and beauty was tight and the sewing magazine made the dreams of millions of women come true She made fashion more democratic across the globe and affordable for everyone The business woman set the course for the future with a lot of business sense self-assertion and a rather forceful leadership style “I wanted to achieve what I wanted.” There was no stopping her fought for her place in the world of international fashion where observed the shows – looking graceful The ambitious business woman also bought competitors’ magazines: "Ihre Mode“ (1950) the circulation of “Burda Moden” amounted to half a million copies As the company needed more space due to increasing success Aenne Burda had the new Offenburg publishing building built The company’s own photo studio followed in 1962 Special editions on knitting and crocheting traditional fashion and Christmas crafting also sold like hot cakes But Aenne was still hungry for expansion and created a Burda test kitchen: In 1970 was published – it was sold 1.5 million times The print run of “Burda Moden” reached two million copies for the first time in 1973 the magazine was translated into 18 languages and sold in 112 countries International connection: special ambassador for fashion wrote the German magazine “Der Spiegel” in retrospect in an article aobut the “Denver Clan of Offenburg” in 1987 The boss of the biggest fashion publisher in the world owed this triumph not least to the persistence of her managers a Soviet government delegation had visited her Offenburg publishing headquarters to gain information about modern printing machines Gorbachev’s envoys were also interested in the bestseller “Burda Moden” The ladies’ world of Eastern Europe considered the pattern magazine one of the hottest articles to be bought for absurd prices on the black market Aenne achieved her biggest entrepreneurial triumph as the “queen of clothes”: “Burda Moden” was the first western magazine that was published in the Soviet Union “Do it yourself” as a basic socialist idea.. It was not Russia’s top politicians but their wives who gathered in the Pillar Hall of Moscow’s House of the Unions on a spring day in 1987 almost burst with pride when she had the world of Moscow at her feet the fashion publisher said delightedly about the event which she describes as the highlight of her life as an entrepreneur in her memoirs A fashion show for the class enemy – this was a genuine cultural revolution Glasnost meets goodie bag: “Fashion knows no bounds” was printed on the glossy Burda-blue bags filled with the first Soviet edition of “Burda Moden” and beauty products for the guests to take home with them watched the broadcast of the first western fashion show on television at home observing how German models paraded down the catwalk in cutting-edge western fashion Alongside clowns from Moscow’s State Circus and dancers from the neighboring Bolshoi Theatre The celebrated highlight was bridal fashion to the sound of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture our women are able to make their beautiful dresses themselves.” And the sewing patterns effectively became a map on which cultural and political boundaries could be overcome Aenne Burda signed a contract for a printing and publishing company using modern offset printers in Moscow the entrepreneur from the Southern German Baden region secured the exclusive right to acquire advertisements in the whole world Burda became an “eye of a needle for the Soviet Union” Western advertisers reached millions of Soviet citizens And the USSR’s Central Television broadcast the popular TV show “Burda Moden recommends” every two weeks from the central consulting center of Burda Moden Russia the “Burda Moden” logo in brass letters still adorns the entrance of the former temple of fashion expressed his appreciation for this achievement in the times of perestroika: “In her own way and with her own means Aenne Burda pulled the iron curtain to the side a bit.” And he praised the “queen of clothes” as a “special ambassador”: “You’ve achieved more than three ambassadors before you.” No man had achieved what she had managed as a woman Aenne Burda was welcomed in Russia like “an envoy from a great power” once said about the “queen of clothes”: “What the senator did was all well and good but without Aenne all of this wouldn’t have existed Aenne Burda was the mother of the publishing company And she took the Offenburg success out into the wider world Burda Eastern Europe published 135 magazines in nine Eastern European countries Burda had the same status in Russia as Coca-Cola” then director of Burda Eastern Europe Publishing Group when “Burda Moden” was even published in China Aenne’s fashion publishing house was integrated in the family-owned Burda company led by her youngest son Hubert her publishing company had a turnover of 172 million DM Aenne Burda withdrew completely from business Zara and H&M – in 17 languages and more than 100 countries Aenne Burda’s contribution to today’s company was fundamental and made the previously small Offenburg publishing company known throughout the world Part 2 of the TV feature film "Aenne Burda – Die Wirtschaftswunderfrau“ and the following documentary about the "real“ Aenne Burda was shown on Das Erste on 12 December at 8:15 pm.

Perfect record intact despite challenges from Kulhavy and Marotte Absalon came into Offenburg with two second places for the season in the World Cup, but he had stated earlier that he was building for this race, which he calls "the best World Cup course in the world". A group of 12 riders formed at the front of the race on the first lap of seven, and rode away from the rest of the field along with Absalon, Kulhavy and Marotte, Burry Stander (Specialized), Christoph Sauser (Specialized), world champion Jose Hermida (Multivan Merida), Nino Schurter (Scott-Swisspower), Marco Fontana (Cannondale), Thomas Litscher (Felt Oetztal X-Bionic), Nicolas Coloma (Wildwolf-Trek), Rudi van Houts and Ivan Alvarez Gutierrez (Giant Italia). By lap three, Coloma, Alvarez Gutierrez and van Houts were gone, and then Hermida flatted. Sauser crashed while chasing Absalon and Kulhavy and later suffered a broken wheel afte getting a flat and riding his rim. Both had to run to the next tech zone on lap four. Absalon launched his attack on the same lap, exploding the group. Kulhavy took off in solo pursuit, but couldn't close the gap, followed by Marotte just in front of Stander. They would finish in that order, with Coloma jumping back into the final podium spot after posting the fastest split for the sixth lap. "I tried first to attack on the first lap," said Absalon, "but I saw six guys on my wheel, so I said, 'ok, I need to wait a little'. I sat in for two laps on wheels and I saw Kulhavy was very strong. I knew I needed to attack in the beginning of a long climb, like I have done each year, and so I did the same." "In the third and fourth lap, I was waiting on the downhill and I attacked just at the first feed zone and I did the long climb at the front. After I took 15 sec on Kulhavy, I felt good. I made no mistakes. To win a World Cup you need to do a perfect race because the gaps are small. I planned the beginning of my season to peak for this race because I like it so much and it is only two hours from my home." He was greeted with hugs and kisses from his wife and baby. Kulhavy was not surprised at Absalon's strong showing, saying, "Julien was way strong today and I did what I could to race for the finish. I knew Julien would be strong here and in fact, he was." Absalon's win moved him 40 points ahead of Kulhavy for the lead in the World Cup, but he has stated that he will not attend the two North American race (Mont Ste. Anne), so he will lose the lead in the next round. The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox! At 5.15 pm they were ready to go: More than 400 sports enthusiasts gathered on the lawn in front of Burda Sportclub in Offenburg to warm up together on Thursday 19 July. Warming-up was not exactly necessary, however: The muscles were already well supplied with blood at 30 degrees Celsius in the shade. This year’s version of Burda’s classic “Burda runs” started underneath blue skies in brilliant sunshine. Along the track, a great number of colleagues, friends and family members cheered on the runners, who either went on a 5-kilometer running track or a Nordic walking trail. The “scarifiers” from the editorial team of Mein schöner Garten won the challenge cup for the best team result for the third time in a row. Andi Hupertz from Hitradio Ohr hosted the award ceremony and presented the winners with their trophies together with Milo Skupin-Alfa. Milo Skupin-Alfa is a member of the athletics club LG Offenburg and has recently won the bronze medal in the 400-meter relay at the U20 world championship in Finland. After their run, the athletes cooled down by taking a well-deserved shower and having a cold drink or some ice cream. While the young guests had fun with the bouncer castle or the play bus, the adults enjoyed delicious snacks from various food trucks while sitting in the shade in the party tent and listening to the live music of the duo “Constant Motion”. “I’m pleased that so many colleagues have made it here today, on the hottest day of the year so far. ‘Burda runs’ is a great event every year and a token of the company’s appreciation for its members of staff.“ Several impressions from Burda runs © HBM Warm up session for the older and the youngest participants © HBM The asphalt was steaming under the scorching sun of Southern Germany on Thursday, but the common goal motivated the Burda runners: to be active, have fun and collect donations for Offenburg's disabled sports group. Back to the… 1950s: Offenburg dressed up on 20 November 2018 for a tribute to Aenne Burda. The occasion was the big premiere of the two-part TV feature film “Aenne Burda – Die Wirtschaftswunderfrau“. True responsibility goes beyond individual success—it’s about driving meaningful change in society.

We were driving from the Basel area to Stuttgart and I knew I’d need some coffee along the way. We decided to stop in Offenburg because Arnolds (they don’t use an apostrophe in German) looked nice. We pulled off A5 and headed into town, where we found Arnolds on a quiet street. The two guys working were so friendly…I think they were genuinely impressed when I explained that I always seek out independent coffee when I travel and could not have been friendlier in whipping up to “Kinder cappuccinos” for my kids. I had a cappuccino, Heidi had a regular coffee, and my mother-in-law had iced coffee. We also got a cookie for each kid (choosing among the baked goods was not easy). Germany may not have as many Starbucks / Dunkin / Coffee Bean / Dutch Bros type places and gas station has automatic machines that dispense even worse coffee Finding an independent shop with high-quality beans and a good machine is always worth the effort I greatly appreciated the coffee and conversation If you’re on a German road trip on Autobahn A5 and the birthplace of democracy in Germany (in 1847) Join our mailing list for a daily summary of posts Matthew is an avid traveler who calls Los Angeles home Each year he travels more than 200,000 miles by air and has visited more than 135 countries Working both in the aviation industry and as a travel consultant Matthew has been featured in major media outlets around the world and uses his Live and Let's Fly blog to share the latest news in the airline industry and detailed reports of his worldwide travel Do they still have the “ Arbeit macht frei” signs in Germany I’m sorry… this must be the dumbest comment on the web today Are you sure you weren’t served Jacobs instant coffee kaffee und klatsch koennen die kinder klatsch and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Note: Please see my Advertiser Disclosure
