Competition is essential in every field of business because it give consumer or a customer an opportunity to choose what please him or her. It is because various products are made available to the customer. The business is however obligated to provide high quality goods than their competitors. It is where design thinking comes in. Design thinking can be said to be human centered and mostly focuses on the customer's needs and preference. Brown (2008) defines design thinking as " a human centered approach that makes the designer's to combines the customer's needs, the technological requirements and the business requirements for its success" (p. 84). It can be can be represented as in the fig 1.0 below.
It is a problem solving technique that is carried out by first collecting details of a problem in the society. Then considering the possible technological requirements for the problem and using the designer's creativity to solve the problem. Design thinking requires a certain level of decision making and hence it is commonly used in the business leadership.
The customer holds current and future life of any business, services and products produced. The business has also the responsibility of preserving the business ethics when providing goods and services to its customers. In the recent years, technology and innovation have been the main strategy that most businesses have been using to survive in a large growing and competitive market. A business that has been able to implement design making means that it has direct and personal relationship with their customers and truly understands them. The idea of design thinking is a great new destination in the world of business. Different organizations are diverse. Big corporations, start-ups, social and governmental services are trying to experiment with their problem-solving. Traditional methods are not always effective ones.
Ever thought of what used to happen in the ancient years where the main form of business was trade? Was design thinking still being used? The above questions can be answer by the following texts. Design thinking was used in those ancient days as we read in history. Different people used to exchange their goods for some other commodities. It was the community's main responsibility to ensure that the trade was successful and their trade partners got what they wished. Take the example of a community that used to make tools for war such as arrows, bows and also other tools which used in the house work. They had to be innovative and use their knowledge of design thinking to make different tools using the same resources so as to maintain the trade.
Design making has been more popular in the 21st century starting from around 1960's. The people at that time were more concerned with the social acceptance of the community and businesses could consider their customer's view on how they viewed their social life. In 1980, the computers were becoming popular and some businesses started to integrate the customer's needs with the technology of the time as explained by Martin (2009). . The idea remains but the change of technology and the customer's tastes and preference is what is changing day in day out.
The implementation of design thinking into a product takes place in five phases in which the designer first interacts with the customer and afterwards the designer makes the product. It is clearly demonstrated on the fig 1.0 below as explained by Dym, Agogino, Eris, Frey and Leifer (2005).
Empathy phase is the first stage in the design thinking. It is where the designer interacts with the customer and get detailed information on what he/ she requires to be designed. The designer is also supposed to study the audience that he/ she intends to serve and also does some little research. Research about the product is very essential because there might be other various products that might have been designed by other people. As a designer one should take time to study the products and learn more from the challenges that might have risen when designing the product.
Define is the second phase in design thinking. It is where the designer states the requirements and specifications of the end user. The designer also factors out the possible problems expected with the creation of the product. The analysis of the whole project is done here where the designer determines if it is possible for the project to be successful. If it is possible, the designer continues to the next phase of ideate.
Ideate is the central and most important stage in design thinking. It is where the designer comes up with as many ideas as possible to satisfy the requirements at hand. The ideas may differ but only the best ideas that favor the interests of the customer, technology and the business are used. However one might decide to implement two or more idea so as to give the customer a choice.
Prototype is a sample product that just works the same as the real product. The designer is supposed to take the ideas and implement the ideas into the creation of the product(s). In this stage the designer might decide to expand, merge or improve some ideas. The prototype is then tested.
Test phase is where the designer presents the prototype to the general public. It is done so that to get feedback from the audience and with this information, the designer can improve the product that he/ she is working on. The users will first be called upon to test if the product satisfies their wish. If it doesn't, he/ she gives some recommendations on what should be done.
The last three steps which are ideate, prototype and test are usually repeated until the customer is fully satisfied with the final prototype. The designer then proceeds to make a real product and presents it to the customer.
After the implementation of design thinking in the business, several impacts have been felt in the business. These can be said to be the pros and cons for design thinking in business.
There is increase of general outputs in the businesses. A business using design thinking is able to win most of the customer's loyalty. This in return makes it possible for a business to make more sales and hence the business benefits from increased sales and profits. The use of design thinking has made it possible for the businesses to have personal relations with the customers. It is because the customer makes personal orders and the business personnel are able to interact with the customers and understand his/ her needs. Technology is very important when used appropriately in the business. The implementation of design thinking has helped the business to uphold the current technology in the business. (Buchanan 1992).
Even though design thinking has so many advantages, there are some several disadvantages that are associated with it. One of them is that its implementation it's very expensive. It is because one may be forced to make just one item at a time which is time consuming and also uses more resources than in mass production. Design thinking also requires a professional in the field and it may be expensive to hire one. Another disadvantage is that the prototype might be good and the customer might demand to buy the prototype that might develop faults in the near future. It may not work with some firms that don't sell out their prototypes.
Fashion is a vital thing in today's culture. Fashion can be described to be popular styles especially with dress and ornaments. Most of the people like to dress in a unique way and that's where style comes in. The design, size and color are always differ according to the user's preference. For example people go into those fashion design firms make their specific order that includes all the measurements for the wear and leaves the designer to work it out.
After a few days the customer returns for a prototype and then makes some recommendation or a go ahead signal for the product to be produced. Some of these fashion design firms includes Alexander McQueen.
Mobile phones have been the most used products in the market. It is because they are cheap and also have been added applications that make human's life more enjoyable and easier. The introduction of smartphones has been the biggest innovation in the mobile phone industry that has ever been made. Users can install or even choose the applications that are more pleasing to them. The mobile phone manufacturing firms are also implementing the design thinking in their business. It is through introduction of their new platforms where one can make an order of what to be incorporated in the mobile phones that they are manufacturing. They always present a prototype of a new products in their shops so that to get feedback from the users. Later the new product is launched in the market. It is also the same with android and windows applications. A good example is apple mobile phones.
Many designs of furniture that is at our home once went through a designer. According to the different designed-houses, users taste and preference, it is hard for anyone to get a furniture that is ready made. Customer goes to the designer with proper specification on how he/ she would like furniture to look like, its color and also material to be used. The designer then integrates the user's specifications and the technology that is available to cater for the user's needs. A good example is Herman Miller firm in United States.
Cars can be made according to the specifications of the users. Most of the car manufacturing companies before they manufacture a specific type of a car, they first get information from the customers. They are supposed to make their orders according to the specifications that they have in mind. A good example is the Toyota manufactures.
Design thinking has been the greatest implementation that has happened to most business. As the business continues to grow and unique products are being produced. Design thinking promotes creative thinking and innovation in the society. People are also getting to know how they can apply the knowledge of design thinking in their lives and make it better. The needs of the customers, in the past, were not considered and this made the business to have low sales because with the use of design thinking, people's interest are being catered Zott and Amit, (2010) states that "The knowledge of design thinking can also be applied in other fields such as in leadership and also when it comes to studies."(p. 220). It can be applied when it comes to decision making and also solving of some problems that might come up in our lives. In studies the students can be creative when doing their school work and also incorporate technology in their study.
We can conclude that the use of design thinking has made businesses to prosper and also the customers to be satisfied with what they get. Design thinking happens in five important stages which are empathy, define, ideate, prototype and test. When all the five steps are utilized, the designer designs an up to standard products. Firms such as those described in the case study are using it to make their products more marketable. The future expectations of design thinking is that more innovation will take place that will cater for the human's needs in a more diverse manner.

Kassouf: My vote for FIFA Women's Player of Year
Nadine Kessler and VfL Wolfsburg won a second straight UWCL title in May. (Getty Images)
Stop the presses! The FIFA Women's World Player of the Year award was handed out with little controversy on Monday as Germany and VfL Wolfsburg midfielder Nadine Keßler beat Marta and Abby Wambach to claim the title. That doesn't always happen.
I am honored and humbled to hold the United States media vote for the second straight year. Since FIFA's online voting document cut off at Spain, here's how I voted and why:
1 — Nadine Keßler (Germany/VfL Wolfsburg): Keßler's time is now and she is the complete two-way midfielder in the modern women's game. Keßler led Wolfsburg to the Champions League title for the second straight year and continues to be the engine of Germany. As I wrote last year, I believe that part of the progression of elevating women's professional soccer is adding more value to the a player's club performance when considering the FIFA Women's World Player of the Year.
2 — Louisa Nécib (France/Lyon): Nécib is the most entertaining player on earth right now, and she is capable of pulling off things that almost nobody else can, from escaping defenders in tight spaces to highlight reel finishes. She might not like the nickname "Female Zidane," but her alluring style of play and composure on the ball has continued to develop over the past few years, and she is firmly among the world's best now.
3 — Marta (Brazil/FC Rosengård): Marta often faces criticism for things she can't control, like being nominated for this award every year, even in down years. But Marta is a once-in-a-lifetime player unlike any we've ever seen, and she proved that again in the UEFA Champions League final (and again in December against the United States, after voting for this award closed). Marta can stake her claim as one of – if not the – best player ever.
How I voted for Women's Coach of the Year:
1 – Philippe Bergeroo (France): Having spoken with him and players in depth in person this summer, it's clear that Bergeroo has instilled the kind of mentality France needs to finally get on the podium. The results showed this year.
2 – Laura Harvey (Seattle Reign FC): This kind of process requires voters from around the world to 'vote what they see.' Harvey impressed in turning around the Reign and guiding the squad to a 16-match unbeaten streak in a league loaded with parity.
3 – Ralf Kellermann (VfL Wolfsburg): Kellerman a second straight UEFA Champions League title, putting the word "dynasty" in the conversation for Wolfsburg.
I'll say this: I very easily could (and maybe should) have put the magician that is Norio Sasaki on this list. His ability to toy with Japan's lineups and still get results — including a first-ever Asian Cup triumph — is incredible.

The wide range of sporting activities offer a balance of skills and physical demands so that every pupil can discover a sport they enjoy. Pupils of all abilities are encouraged to play meaningful and competitive sport at Inter-House, School Representative or purely recreational level.

Elite Athlete Programme
The Elite Athlete Programme is delivered through our partnership with Oxford University. It is aimed at our elite level athletes who are competing at regional standard or above, designed to support them with strength and conditioning, diet and nutrition and sport psychology.

This programme is designed to ensure that our Elite Athletes have all the support they need to thrive in this environment.
What strikes you first is the beauty of our extensive parkland setting, venture further beyond the gaters and you will discover there is a great deal more to what Cokethorpe has to offer.


It's that time of year again – marketers are allocating their budgets for the year ahead. But which channels should you be investing in to better connect with customers in 2016?
According to eMarketer, mobile ad spend will top $100 billion worldwide next year, with 51% of digital advertising spend being allocated to this channel. With mobile usage growing, this device is creating new opportunities for brands to connect with consumers on the go and, more importantly, 'in the moment' to ensure an engagement which can drive business.
Although most marketers see value in the mobile channel, many brands are just skimming the surface of what this channel can offer in terms of customer insights. This is where mobile location data comes into play; the insights it can uncover on consumer behaviour allow brands to make campaigns much more impactful.
Location is the fuel behind mobile advertising. Why? Because it helps marketers to reach people not just based on 'where' they are, but by providing deeper insight on 'who' they are.
For example, impact will be limited if a female clothing retailer located miles away from a potential customer decides to advertise its new range to a male construction worker on his lunch break. He is not the right audience, nor is he in the right place at the right time. However, with information about a customer's location, brands can reach particular audiences and use precise targeting to ensure they engage the people that are most likely to act.
The gap between online and in store has long been a pain point for retailers as data about the customer's path to purchase is often lost when they move across channels. However, thanks to location insights, mobile has surfaced as the glue that can bind online and offline to create a seamless customer experience.
Today's on-demand culture means that customer buying journeys are increasingly made up of self-directed and unpredictable 'micromoments'. Shoppers will often search for a product on their smartphone when on the go, but then visit a physical store to make the final purchase, for example. The findings of our latest UK Mobile Path to Purchase report support this, showing that 56% of consumers who research products on their phone actually finally convert in store.
In Starbucks, for example, customers can now pre-order a hot drink online and pick-up in store, cutting down the steps within the purchase journey. But what about those customers that don't plan to purchase a coffee? Sending a coffee lover the latest Christmas coffee blends while they are in close proximity during their weekend shopping on the high street could be the difference between a sale and them walking straight by. Location insight allows brands to use mobile to encourage sales on the high street, enticing shoppers indoors through timely targeting. Mobile's ability to drive sales on the high street through digital is opening up huge revenue opportunities for brands.
One of the major reasons brands may have overlooked advertising on mobile is due to the lack of sophistication in targeting, as well as limited accuracy and precision in measurement tools. These factors make it harder to justify the investment in the channel. However, location technology and advertising is helping to solve these problems.
Firstly, proximity targeting technology is now so sophisticated that it allows brands to understand real time, human footprints of shoppers. Marketers have never been able to get so close to their customers and understand their motivations for buying an item.
Secondly, programmatic technology is now available and is one of the most efficient ways for brands to leverage location with acute accuracy. The ability to optimise advertising strategies based on data and provide contextually relevant experiences through programmatic is allowing brands to create more targeted strategies and drive results. It means brands can connect with customers at the right time, in the right place and with the right content.
This improved approach to targeting and increasing mobile user consumption is driving discussion in the advertising industry as to whether location data holds the key to mobile ROI. For a long time mobile has been a sticking point for measurement and attribution as cookies don't work on mobile, this is why location is now being considered the new 'real-world' cookie. With better measurement on mobile, marketers will find it easier to justify their budgets, showcase their results and ultimately prove their contribution to the business.
An important aspect of any marketing channel is that it will not only draw the customer in once, but will encourage them to return. Using location allows marketers to target their audience based on context, ensuring communications are relevant and timely.
Over time, data and insights collected from location will allow marketers to ensure customers feel valued as individuals because of the personal experience that is provided. This builds a connection with the brand and ultimately, a sense of loyalty. As marketers are catering for an increasingly mobile-savvy customer, we expect to see location become an integral part of any engagement strategy.
For most people, no matter where they are, their smartphones are never far from arm's length. As a result, 2016 is the ideal time for marketers to leverage the power of mobile location data not only to impact their campaigns, but to connect with audiences in a more meaningful and personal way.
The nature of the smartphone is empowering marketers to connect with their customers better than ever before. As a result, next year we will see location grow to become a marketing category in its own right to rival search and social for marketing spend.

Is Ad Partner Exclusivity a Panacea or a Burden?


Online reputation management should be a vital part of the digital strategy of any business, but it is especially important with law firms. Not only are your clients very well aware how to research your company and previous cases, but they also have immediate access to your overall ratings upon typing your company's name in Google, or even just looking for the services you provide.
Building social proof among your community and the online world is essential for your conversion ratings, but it's also hard work. It requires continuous monitoring of your profiles across multiple platforms and immediate reaction to both positive and negative comments. It also includes a positive reinforcement strategy that makes your happy clients leave a review online, as well as actively looking for ways to promote your business through appearing in reputable publications.
Positive feedback is both about the quantity and the quality. At Comrade, one of Chicago's leading law firm marketing companies, we always start with making a list of past clients that you can reach out for a review of your company on Google, LinkedIn, or a submittable online form. You can also publish these reviews on your website as long as you're not violating your clients' privacy. If you have video testimonials, that's even better.
Getting the right kind of feedback, — which comes from asking your past clients the right questions — affects the quality of reviews and inevitably their impact. The more detailed the review, the closer your prospects will be to picking up the phone and calling you.
In case you're not able to gather as many reviews as you'd like to, we can always create case studies to showcase your experience, with extra attention to your clients' privacy.
The first thing we do if we have to address negative feedback is to limit the number of directories where you gather reviews. Any feedback can be turned into an asset to your business with the right response, but it would be difficult for us to respond quickly and efficiently if we have to manage too many platforms. At Comrade, we'd be happy to recommend a platform that would work best for your business and concentrate on making your profile shine.
Think about your brand. What do you stand for and how to do you want to be known? As a law firm, you likely want to come across professional and knowledgeable. Strategizing your media appearances simply means focusing on creating those profiles where feedback will matter the most. At Comrade, we help nurture your growth, while selecting these particular outlets.
Reputation management involves constant monitoring, updating positive reinforcement strategies and other tactics to help us achieve great results together.

State Street Global Advisors' Issuer Engagement Protocol
These guidelines are designed to communicate with our investee companies regarding the objectives of our engagement activities and to facilitate a better understanding of our preferred terms of engagement.
The framework also includes guidance for our interactions with activist investors and shareholder proposal proponents.
State Street Global Advisors' engagement activities are driven exclusively by our goal to maximize and protect the long-term value of our clients' assets. These guidelines are utilized by State Street Global Advisors' proxy voting and engagement team, known as the Asset Stewardship team, to develop annual engagement objectives and priorities based upon an assessment of the greatest risks and opportunities within our clients' funds. The protocol clearly defines instances in which the Asset Stewardship team is willing to participate in reactive engagement, thereby allowing the team to focus on active, thematic, or sector specific engagement across our global portfolios.
State Street Global Advisors' Methodology for Developing its Annual Engagement Strategy
State Street Global Advisors believes that the geographic spread and depth of its holdings provide a challenge but also an opportunity for the firm as it develops its engagement strategy. While we would like to maintain a dialogue with all of our portfolio companies, we recognize the need to focus our engagement efforts where we believe we will have maximum impact. Each year, as part of its strategic review process, the Asset Stewardship team develops an annual engagement strategy, and it identifies a target list of companies that we intend to engage with during the year. Factors considered in developing the target list include:
Companies identified for engagement based on our in-house governance, compensation, and sustainability screens
Thematic environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues that the team identifies as potential risks facing investee companies
In-depth sector specific engagements across our global holdings
Companies with lagging long-term financial performance within their sector
Companies at which follow-up engagement is needed based on past discussions
The intensity and type of engagement with a company is determined by State Street Global Advisor's relative and absolute holdings in that company. In addition, we also factor in geographic diversity in our engagement efforts to reflect the level of economic exposure to various markets. Finally, we also consider the engagement culture in a market or geographic region when developing our engagement target list and approach.
State Street Global Advisors believes in-person meetings facilitate a mutual understanding and trust with the boards and management teams of our investee companies.
However, once we have developed such relationships, State Street Global Advisor's preferred method for update meetings is via conference calls as we believe this is cost effective for our clients and investee companies. This also helps us reduce our global carbon footprint.
Helpful Information to Include in Engagement Request Emails to State Street Global Advisors
To help expedite the review of engagement requests, please include the following information in engagement request emails to State Street Global Advisors:
Company name and identifier (i.e. ticker)
Topics the issuer is interested in discussing
Upcoming meeting date, if applicable
Issuer attendees and their titles
All requests for engagement should be sent to the Asset Stewardship team at GovernanceTeam@ssga.com.
Guidelines for Engaging with Investee Companies
We seek to meet with management at reasonable intervals to receive updates on execution of strategy, financial, and operational performance, as well as significant matters that may affect the future prospects of the company. Discussions pertaining to interim financial results or other short-term considerations will not be considered a priority.
We believe that as a long-term shareholder with substantial holdings, it is important to establish a relationship and have a direct communication channel with independent directors in our investee companies. Therefore, as part of our active engagement process, we prefer to meet with the non-executive chairperson/lead independent director and/ or representative of key board committees. Such meetings help us assess the quality and effectiveness of the board, the extent of the oversight of management, and the board's perspectives on key issues, such as strategy, risk, capital allocation, and compensation. It also allows us to escalate matters to the board's attention if management has been unresponsive to suggestions discussed during prior engagements.
After our initial meeting with members of the board, the frequency of desired follow-up meetings is determined by the nature of the issues discussed. We will outline expectations and timelines for subsequent meetings during the discussion. We follow similar guidelines for meeting requests with C-suite management representatives at companies.
Typically, we allow additional capacity for reactive engagement in Q2 for markets such as in the US, UK, EU, and Japan (Q4 for Australian companies) where the majority of the companies in those countries have general meetings between the months of April and June.
We reserve the Q1, Q3, and Q4 time periods to conduct the majority of our active engagements with some room for reactive engagement for companies that have experienced a significant event or are seeking approval for a corporate transaction, board transition, or other material concern.
We may also engage with those companies that hold general meetings outside of the peak voting season.
We only accept solicitation request where we would like to engage with a company based on our internal assessment of the ballot item presented for a shareholder vote.
Instances where we accept engagement requests include instances when:
We have concerns about a ballot item
We believe that engagement will better inform our voting decision
Instances in which we are likely to reject solicitation requests include:
We do not have any immediate concerns about a ballot item
We believe we have adequate information to make an informed voting decision on a ballot item
Our position on a ballot item is addressed in our public policy statement
We have actively engaged with the company on matters pertaining to the ballot proposal outside the proxy season
The company has not been responsive to our request for change during prior engagements
We believe that the matter is best discussed outside the vote solicitation period
If we have provided feedback during the vote solicitation period, we believe that any follow-up discussion with the company should focus on the board or company's response to our feedback.
We track all feedback provided to investee companies and routinely conduct follow-up engagements to assess the progress made by a company toward the incorporation of our feedback.
We welcome written submission of changes made by the board to the company's governance or remuneration policies and practices. While we review all letters, we respond to only those letters in which we would like additional clarity on the proposed changes or wish to identify specific changes.
Guidelines for Engaging with Activist Investors or Investors Soliciting State Street Global Advisors' Votes in Connection with Vote-No Campaigns or Shareholder Proposals
We believe it is good practice for us to speak to other investors that are running proxy contests, putting forth vote-no campaigns, or proposing shareholder proposals at investee companies. However, we limit such discussions with investors to one engagement unless we believe that it is necessary for us to have a follow-up call. We welcome the opportunity to review materials sent in advance of the proposed discussion. To the extent possible, we review all materials made publicly available by the investor or the company on a contested ballot item before making a voting decision. Our primary purpose of engaging with investors is:
To gain a better understanding of their position or concerns at investee companies
In proxy contest situations:
To assess possible director candidates where investors are seeking board representation in proxy contest situation
To understand the investor's proposed strategy for the company and investment time horizon to assess their alignment with State Street Global Advisors' views and interests as a long- term shareholder
All requests for engagement should be sent to GovernanceTeam@ssga.com.
Investor Engagement Protocol
State Street Global Advisors encourages boards of directors to develop an investor engagement protocol or plan that establishes policies and mechanisms through which independent directors communicate with and receive feedback from institutional investors. The protocol would help foster strong relationships between a company's directors and its investors, while promoting transparency, responsibility, and accountability of the board.
The protocol should identify key independent directors (such as a non-executive chairman, lead independent director, or a representative of a key board committee), who would be mandated to engage with shareholders on a range of topics that are of interest to State Street Global Advisors and/or other institutional investors. A robust engagement protocol would also develop a crisis communication plan for the board when institutional investors and the market-at- large need to communicate with independent directors, in a timely manner, about their oversight and response to a developing concern facing the company.

Johan Dietrich friherre Haxthausen (født 29. januar 1652 i Petershagen, Stift Minden, død 21. december 1703 i Imst, Tyrol) var en dansk officer, bror til Anton Wolf Haxthausen.

Karriere
Han var søn af friherre Wolf Haxthausen til Eisborn og Mechtilde Sophie von Hanxleden. Han kom ung i dansk tjeneste, var ved begyndelsen af Den Skånske Fejde kaptajn ved Bauditz' Regiment, deltog i felttoget 1675 i Mecklenburg, fra 1676 i Skåne, blev 1677 sekond-, året efter premiermajor og sekondoberstløjtnant ved Dronningens Livregiment, 1683 virkelig oberstløjtnant.

Da det sidste regiment til det korps, der 1689 overlodes kong Vilhelm III af England, afgav en bataljon, blev Haxthausen sat i spidsen for denne som oberst og var nu med i de otte års felttog i Irland og Nederlandene. Han blev 1693 engelsk, året efter dansk brigader og ved hjemkomsten 1698 chef for hele regimentet. Han førte så dette under det korte felttog i Holsten 1700 og gik samme efterår med den ene bataljon til Sachsen, hvornæst han ved det korps, som under Christian Gyldenløve sendtes til Italien i kejserens tjeneste, blev ansat som generalmajor over infanteriet og chef for bataljonen Prins Carl. I det blodige slag ved Luzzara 15. august 1702 deltog han med udmærkelse, skønt han på grund af sygdom havde måttet lade sig løfte op på hesten. Da kort efter Gyldenløve drog hjem, fik Haxthausen kommandoen over korpset, som han beholdt under hele næste års felttog, efter at han om foråret havde iværksat en reduktion, hvorved korpset i henhold til den afsluttede traktat blev sat på samme fod som de kejserlige tropper; hans bataljon indlemmedes i korpsets 2. regiment, hvis chef han nu blev. Om efteråret måtte han afgive kommandoen over korpset til generalløjtnant Adam Frederik Trampe, der førte det til Ungarn. På vejen afgik Haxthausen 21. december 1703 uventet ved døden af feber og lungebetændelse i den lille tyrolske by Imst.

Eftermæle
Haxthausen var i alle henseender en duelig og samvittighedsfuld general og vandt anerkendelse som sådan af de kejserlige overgeneraler Prins Eugen af Savoyen og Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg. Hertug Carl Rudolph af Württemberg-Neuenstadt kendte Haxthausen som en mand med en sjælden "Ordenssans og Metodiskhed, humeur og comportement" og yderst "compatible". Også Trampe omtaler ham som "en i Haandværket fuldkommen Officer". Særlig var han bekendt for sin urokkelige ro i slagtummelen, og hans stående tilråb til soldaterne: "Sutjes, sutjes, meine Kinder! immer geschlossen eingedrungen!" gik længe fra mund-til-mund som kvintessensen af datidens fodfolkstaktik.

Da han var ugift, gik hans kurkølnske len Eisborn over til hans brodersøn Christian Frederik greve Haxthausen; hans tilgodehavende fra kejserlig tjeneste var endnu 30 år efter hans død ikke fuldt udbetalt hans arvinger.

Join us in celebrating our fifth year of service, as we couldn't have done it without you! I'm extremely proud of the progress we've made as a group and as individuals. Collectively we've worked together to expose inner city and at-risk youth to snowboarding, developed the leadership skills of all of our participants, and tackled some of the roughest terrain on our snowboards and mountain bikes. Yet individually, we've all faced some of our greatest fears and overcame many obstacles. I've had the pleasure to share in many of the triumphs of the group; seeing a newbie link turns at the end of a lesson, watching our older students become group leaders, and listening to the group's stories on the bus ride home is a reward in itself.
I started Shred Love to give back to my community and yet my community has given so much more to me in return. I've learned a lot within the last 5 years about community, relationships, problem solving and myself. There were many times I wanted to quit because of funding and managing the business side of Shred Love, in addition to balancing my family, my day job; my life in general. Through each hurdle you, our supporters, created a way for Shred Love to not only continue, but to also grow.
May the next 5 years allow us to continue to grow and serve more deserving youth and create many more life long memories!

This class is an introduction into working as a bridal makeup artist for students who wish to gain an understanding of the wedding industry, learn to execute key bridal looks, and utilize airbrush makeup.
The wedding industry can be a lucrative part of a professional makeup artists business, and is our Instructors specialty. Students will learn about working with brides through consultations, contracts, general wedding considerations, and expectations for both parties.
Bridal makeup is unique because it needs to be applied for both on camera and in-person without being too strong or light for either. Specific products and techniques are used to prolong the wear of the makeup, and of course flawless application is critical to working in the bridal industry.
Airbrushing makeup will also be taught in this segment, starting with the troubleshooting and technical aspects of the equipment. Students will learn to apply airbrush makeup to the face and decollate, and will gain an understanding of the different types of formulas and benefits.
We recommend that students already have a basic education or understanding of makeup application, or have previously completed the Beauty Basics course. Students are required to provide their own beauty makeup kit , similar to the Beauty Basics kit, when attending the Bridal & Airbrushing class. The Bridal Kit offered for this course only provides the airbrushing equipment and products applied with airbrush. If you are providing your own kit that wasn't acquired previously through VSMA it will need to be inspected by the School Director for adequacy prior to enrollment.

Which type of strap is best for apple watch 6?
Apple isn't just the leading smartwatch maker in the world, it also arguably has the most refined, feature-laden, and well-built of mainstream consumer smartwatch products out there. As a monitoring device, Apple has continued to outfit the Apple Watch with an ever-more-impressive array of systems designed to monitor your body using on-board sensors and provide useful data to the wearer. This data isn't just simple metrics such as your current heart rate, but a complex ability to track a users' activity and lifestyles to help give them guidance on how to be more "well.
Your Apple Watch is an essential everyday companion, but it's always nice to change its look for different occasions. You can go for a sporty band for the gym or outdoor adventures, a leather one for the workplace, etc. They're convenient to switch, so they offer a handy way to express your personality and stand out from the crowd.
These are the best Apple Watch bands, including sport bands, leather bands, stainless-steel bands and other fashionable designs. You can get different bands for Apple watch 6. Apple watch bands comes in various colors and style. Below are few of the band available from Apple:
Solo Loop
Braided Solo Loop
Sports Band
Sports Loop
Nike Sports Band
Nike Sports Loop
Leather Link
Modern Buckle
However, why to limit your options just with the Apple. You can get wide range of variety to choose from the other sellers as well.
What size does apple watch 6 bands come in?
If you have an older Apple Watch Series 0, 1, 2, or 3 Apple Watch, your bands should be for either the 38mm or 42mm case. However, even though the Apple Watch Series 4, 5, and the new Apple Watch Series 6 come in the slightly different case sizes — 40mm or 44mm —,your older bands from Series 3 and earlier will still fit.
This is because when Apple slightly increased the size of the Apple Watch case, they kept the strap sizes the same. So if you had a 38mm Apple Watch, your straps for that will fit the 40mm Apple Watch Series 6. And, if you had a 42mm, they'll work with the 44mm Watch.
Apple Watch Series 4, Series 5, and Series 6 come in the 40mm and 44mm case sizes, so they are the same. As long as you get the same size for the new Apple Watch, then the existing bands you have should fit without issue.
While the Apple Watch has been around for many years now, Apple has kept the same lug design every year. This makes it possible to use even original bands with the latest Apple Watch, so if you have a favorite strap from way back when that has been discontinued, you can still use it with your Apple Watch Series 6.
Until Apple makes a huge design change with the Apple Watch, any band you have that works with the square shape will work.
Does Apple Watch 6 bands make my IWatch look good?
Apple Watches have become one of the most popular accessories because they can fit beautifully with any attire, including formal and camp suits. You can spot a fair amount of Apple Watches at the most exclusive events nowadays, including the Met Gala and Oscars. Your Watch band also plays a very important role in how your watch looks.
You shouldn't match just about any watch with your formal attire. If you're going to a wedding, conference, or a life-changing meeting, you don't want to appear unprofessional and clumsy. Attention to details matter. Important people will notice what you're wearing before you say a word.
Matching a metal dive watch with a suit is generally not recommended. The pattern, material, and general intent may seem like you couldn't be bothered to find the right leather strap for your suit. It may look lazy. On the other hand, leather bands look stunningly well when paired with a night jacket. It's a match made in heaven.
Here are a few extra steps to help you match an Apple Watch 6 band with a suit and create that perfect look:
Choose a classic and neat face on your watch
Find a stylish leather band that will match your suit
Check if the band complements the belt and shoes
Go out, breathe and leave an impression
Overall it depends upon the type of attire you are wearing, the event in which you are going. There are many Apple Watch bands available for series 6 watch. Pick the best at WristWatchStraps.co
What colors are available in Apple Watch 6 bands?
There are many colors available for Apple Watch 6 band. Apple watch bands comes in various colors and style. Below are few of the band colors available from Apple:
Solo Loop: English Lavender, Chalk Pink, Marigold, Clover, Dark Cherry, Abyss Blue, Starlight
Braided Solo Loop: Maize, Dark Cherry, English Lavender, Abyss Blue

Nike Sports Loop: Cargo Khaki, Summit White, Black
Leather Link: Golden Brown, Dark Cherry, Sequoia Green, Midnight
Modern Buckle (38mm, 40mm or 41mm only): Wisteria, Chalk, Midnight.
However, why to limit your options just with the Apple. You can get wide range of variety to choose from the other sellers as well and at a very low cost.
Are apple watch 6 bands interchangeable?
Yes, you can change the band on Apple Watch 6 easily. Hold down the band release button, then slide the band across to remove it. If the band doesn't slide out, press the band release button again and make sure that you hold it down. Make sure that the text on the band is facing you, then slide the new band in until you feel and hear a click.
Make sure that you use a band that corresponds to your Apple Watch case size. You can use a band that's designed for Apple Watch (1st generation) or Apple Watch Series 1, 2, and 3 with Apple Watch Series 4, Apple Watch Series 5, Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Series 6, and Apple Watch Series 7, as long as the sizes are compatible. Bands for 38mm, 40mm, and 41mm cases work with each other, and bands for 42mm, 44mm, and 45mm cases work with each other.
Press the band release button on your Apple Watch.
Slide the band across to remove it, then slide the new band in.
Never force a band into the slot. If you're having trouble removing or inserting a band, press the band release button again.
Apple watch 6 bands worth buying for?
Apple's official Apple Watch model accessory bands are hardly cheap, but some are worth the price tag. The popular Milanese Loop band is a great choice when you want something more professional than silicone, but aren't into a leather strap. A new band is a flashy way to turn your Apple Watch into a personal accessory, rather than just a piece of tech, and there are ones that suit every lifestyle.
There are tons of Apple Watch band options, with a variety of options to suit different needs and watch sizes. So what look are you trying to achieve? You can go for the office-acceptable nylon strap or leather loop with a modern buckle, a ballroom-worthy link bracelet, a sport loop band made from soft silicone or a rugged woven nylon band. Heck, there are even Italian leather and rose gold options out there if you're feeling fancy. Different watch bands come with different closures as well, so if you're on the lookout for a stainless steel buckle or a magnetic clasp, chances are they exist.

Matt Walsh et al. #conspiracy #pratt #transphobia #wingnut nitter.net
(NOTE: Those are the quotes of various speakers from "Rally To End Child Mutilation", reposted by the DW account.)
@MattWalshBlog confronts Antifa protesters: "They don't want you to hear what we have to say because they're cowards. They can't engage in the argument. All they could try to do is shut us down and silence us. But it's not going to work...We're not going anywhere."
"There is...a conspiracy to target and indoctrinate our children into the cult of gender ideology. [It] fosters delusion, intentionally creates an identity crisis in young, impressionable kids...It's a path to confusion and despair."
"I'm not going to leave it to my kids to fight this fight...We stand up and we fight...And we're not just fighting to protect our kids from mutilation in the name of gender transition. We're fighting that but an even deeper level. We are fighting for truth."
@LandonStarbuck: "We are so grateful to the...survivors of radical gender ideology that devastates families, that decimates children's bodies and does not protect them or give them the health care they need and deserve. That is why we're here today."
to counter-protesters: "We're so sorry that you've been lied to, exploited...We hope that one day you'll join us and you'll have compassion for that. Vulnerable compassion for the children who have been maimed and abused."
@TulsiGabbard: "Today, though, is those in power denying the existence of women. They are seeking to erase us as an entire category of people. There are no boundaries in our society...Who is suffering as a consequence of these actions? It is the most vulnerable...our children. Our kids need us now."
De-transitioner @ChoooCole: "Some say that transition regret is incredibly rare and...almost always due to external factors such as social pressures or low income. This could not be any more false. A new de-transitioner often a minor reaches out to me on nearly a daily basis."
Scott Newgent: "Within this debate, a bigot today is a hero tomorrow...Are you willing to take the heat today to be a hero tomorrow to save a generation of children?"

Founder, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America
Were Troops Poisoned? Vets Demand KBR Come Clean on Toxins in Iraq
James Gentry served his country honorably as a battalion commander in Iraq. Now, he is dying of a rare form of lung cancer. And he's not the only one. A troubling number of troops in Gentry's Indiana National Guard unit have bloody noses, tumors and rashes. And tragically, one soldier has already died.
New reports suggest these injuries may be the result of exposure to toxins at a KBR-run power plant in Southern Iraq. In 2003, James and his men were responsible for guarding that plant, and protecting KBR's employees. The soldiers were stationed there for months before being informed that the site was contaminated with a chemical known as hexavalent chromium.
Hexavalent chromium is a deadly carcinogen. It's the same toxin that Erin Brockovich became famous for campaigning against. James believes that it was the inhalation of this chemical that caused his cancer, and the other rare illnesses among the Guardsmen who served at the plant.
But this is not just some sad story about accidental chemical exposure. This is a question of responsibility. CBS News has uncovered evidence that KBR may have known about the contamination at the power plant months before it took any action to inform the troops stationed there.
If the CBS story is proven true, checks need to be written, contracts should be cancelled, and heads must roll. James signed up to serve his country, and he was told to protect KBR contractors. He did his job. But it doesn't seem like KBR did theirs. If the company neglected to take quick and decisive action, it must be held responsible for the months of avoidable toxic exposure that may be taking the lives of American servicemembers.
From burn pits to power plants, we are hearing more and more about troops who have been exposed to toxins while serving our country overseas. Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana has announced that he will reintroduce legislation to create a medical registry for military personnel exposed to toxins. That's a vital first step towards discovering the full extent of toxic exposure in Iraq and Afghanistan, and is critical to preventing a replay of the Agent Orange situation after Vietnam.
We need real answers from KBR. And so far, the company has denied any wrongdoing whatsoever. Iraq and Afghanistan veterans will stand behind our brothers and sisters in demanding accountability. The veterans' community will fight back, and we need everyone's help. Add your name to IAVA's petition, and tell KBR to come clean now. KBR must tell Congress and the American people what they knew, and when they knew it. James Gentry and his fellow soldiers deserve the truth.

8... Does Hypertension or Preeclampsia During Pregnancy Cause Long-Term Heart and Blood Vessel Problems?
7... How Can Women with High Blood Pressure Prevent Problems During Pregnancy?
5.. Who Is More Likely to Develop Preeclampsia?
Women with chronic hypertension (high blood pressure before becoming pregnant).Women who developed high blood pressure or preeclampsia during a previous pregnancy, especially if these conditions occurred early in the pregnancy.Women who are obese prior to pregnancy.Pregnant women under the age of 20 or over the age of 40.Women who are pregnant with more than one baby.Women with diabetes, kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or scleroderma.
6... How Is Preeclampsia Detected?
Preeclampsia is a condition that typically starts after the 20th week of pregnancy and is related to increased blood pressure and protein in the mother's urine (as a result of kidney problems). Preeclampsia affects the placenta, and it can affect the mother's kidney, liver, and brain. When preeclampsia causes seizures, the condition is known as eclampsia--the second leading cause of maternal death in the U.S. Preeclampsia is also a leading cause of fetal complications, which include low birth weight, premature birth, and stillbirth. There is no proven way to prevent preeclampsia. Most women who develop signs of preeclampsia, however, are closely monitored to lessen or avoid related problems. The only way to "cure" preeclampsia is to deliver the baby.
Age is the most important factor affecting a woman's chance to conceive and have a healthy child. As women age their fertility declines. A woman's fertility starts to decline in her early 30s, with the decline speeding up after 35. At 40 a woman only has a 5% chance of becoming pregnant in any month.
5... How Do Blocked Fallopian Tubes Cause Infertility?
Each month, when ovulation occurs, an egg is released from one of the ovaries. The egg travels from the ovary, through the tubes, and into the uterus. The sperm also need to swim their way from the cervix, through the uterus, and through the fallopian tubes to get to the egg. Fertilization usually takes place while the egg is traveling through the tube. If one or both fallopian tubes are blocked, the egg cannot reach the uterus, and the sperm cannot reach the egg, preventing fertilization and pregnancy. It's also possible for the tube not to be blocked totally, but only partially. This can increase the risk of a tubal pregnancy, or ectopic pregnancy.
There are different types of fallopian tube blockages. Because the fallopian tubes have different parts and are a tube, there may be different parts of the tube blocked. Each section has its own name. Doctors have also come to find out that there are patterns of disease or trauma that may affect certain parts of the fallopian tubes more than others.
So when Fallopian Tubes are blocked, eggs cannot reach to the uterus which impedes fertilization and eventually pregnancy. Single tubal blockage as well as both tubes blockage is equally fatal. Blocking of fallopian tubes is one of the major causes of infertility among women and accounts for 40% cases of infertility.
10.. Will my baby be affected?
6... What causes iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy?
Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen to your tissues. During pregnancy, you need double the amount of iron that non pregnant women need. Your body needs this iron to make more blood to supply oxygen to your baby. If you don't have enough iron stores or get enough iron during pregnancy, you could develop iron deficiency anemia.
7... How does iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy affect the baby? Severe anemia during pregnancy increases your risk of premature birth, having a low birth weight baby and postpartum depression. Some studies also show an increased risk of infant death immediately before or after birth.
8... How does iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy affect the baby?
3... What is anemia during pregnancy?
Your body goes through significant changes when you become pregnant. The amount of blood in your body increases by about 20-30 percent, which increases the supply of iron and vitamins that the body needs to make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to other cells in your body.
Many women lack the sufficient amount of iron needed for the second and third trimesters. When your body needs more iron than it has available, you can become anemic.
Mental retardation is caused by many factors; many of these are known, but others remain unidentified (The Arc, 2005). The link between the identification of specific causes of mental retardation and the development and implementation of preventive measures is clear. When a cause is identified, ways to prevent the debilitating effects of cognitive disabilities have often followed soon after. But it takes action for solutions actually to prevent or reduce the impact of the condition.
3. If the Oxygen is insufficient to the unborn child In first three months of pregnancy . Mother's food consumes oxygen to digest mother's food and remaining oxygen is sent to develop all cells of unborn child.
Birth defects of the central nervous system are called neural tube defects (NTDs). NTDs include conditions called spina bifida, anencephaly and encephalocele. They are all present at birth and are due to a problem with the development of the brain and/or spinal cord in the developing baby (fetus).
Neural tube defects are birth defects of the brain, spine, or spinal cord. They happen in the first month of pregnancy, often before a woman even knows that she is pregnant. The two most common neural tube defects are spina bifida and anencephaly. In spina bifida, the fetal spinal column doesn't close completely.

Credit to Peter F for the board layout. It's really nice to not have to clip the extra headers off a perfectly good rPi B+!!!
All credit can't go to Peter, his design is based off my initial work of getting the B+ to work on the heatermeter. Although, his design is much much improved then mine, was.
Of course! We all have to be thankful for all the contributions that you and Bryan, and anyone else along the way have made. I can only hope that I find an opportunity to contribute to this community in kind.
I need to get a case for my heatermeter rasbery pi. Can anyone help me? I don't know much about this stuff, do I even need a case? I had a wrist injury right after I bought all the stuff to build the HM. So I couldn't build it, but a co-worker is building it now. Any help I can get will be aprishiated!
Please refer to the first post in this thread for contact information for individuals providing 3D printing services. Also be sure to specify what type of RaspberryPi you are using and what version of HeaterMeter you are building.
I also have a few extra SMD HeaterMeters tested and ready to go. These will mate with a RaspberryPi B+ (and eventually, if/when the software gets update, they will work with RaspberryPi 2) They are completed with Yellow/Green LCDs, 1 Thermocoupler jack, and 3 meat probe jacks. They have 10K resistors for Maverick ET-73 probes, but you can easily swap out the resistors if you are using other probes. You will need to supply the SD card and Raspberry Pi B+. $99 US plus shipping. I also have ET-73 high temperature probes, high temperature thermocouples, and power adapters available for sale.
If you have special requirements, like no LCD or buttons, or 4 meat probe jacks, I can accommodate.

If you get this email from Virgin Media, it's dire news for your bill
If an email from Virgin Media drops into your inbox this week, you'd be wise not to ignore it. The UK Internet Service Provider (ISP) announced plans to hike prices for millions of broadband and phone customers at the start of last week, and now, many are now finding out exactly how much more they'll soon be expected to pay.
Virgin Media has said that the average increase for its users will be around £4.70 per month, but each contract is different so some will be hit by a bigger increase while others will pay a little less.
An email, seen by Express.co.uk, reveals one Virgin Media customer's bill is increasing by £3.25 per month, which is similar to what was rolled out last year, however another user has posted a message on Twitter showing their contract going up by a whopping £5.75.
In the email, Virgin says: "We know a price rise is never welcome, but it's essential we continue investing in our technology. It means you can keep doing the things you need to do – and love to do – on all your devices. To help us carry on with this work, the price of your package will go up by £3.25 a month from 1st March. Last year we worked hard to give you a better experience with us, improving our network capabilities and fixing faults, but we're not stopping there."
The increase will come into force from March 1, 2022.
If you're unhappy about the changes then Virgin is offering the option to cancel the contract or switch to a new plan without facing a penalty. This must be done before February 2.
"We hope you'll carry on enjoying your services with us," the email continues. "But if you want to, you can change or cancel your package at any time before 11/02/2022, without paying any cancellation fees. Visit virginmedia.com/pricechange to find out more."

In 1984 SUNIL GUPTA's first long term relationship broke down in shortly after he arrived in London in 1984. He had met his lover in the early 1970's when the impact of the gay movement upon the consciousness of gay men was just gaining ground.
Then, gay was good, and gay was proud. The laws against gay sex had been turned back. The definition of homosexuality as a psychiatric disorder was successfully challenged. The commercial scene and the visibility of gay men expanded to unprecedented levels. Although, while all this change provided the individual with the means for unstigmatised sexual experimentation in relatively safe venues, simultaneously it hardly dented social attitudes and legal structures which oppressed gay relationships.
The arrival of HIV/AIDS changed all that. Gay men came under attack, from the state and its various channels. The media mounted a vicious campaign to label gay men as sick and irresponsible. Gay men were almost exclusively represented as ill. Patients of some incurable disease that had been equated with their sexuality. On the strength of this fallacy once again there was talk of reinstating repressive laws. Once again "expert medical advisors" were in on the act with their labels and talk of "containment."
Couples though had come into their own. Gay self-help groups encouraged a change in sexual behaviour and a reduction in the number of partners. However, still without legal recognition, with the new emphasis on monogamy, with social attitudes reverting to hostility and given the invisibility of day-to-day life for gay men within relationships, being a partner in the 1980s proved to be as difficult as it had been decades ago.
"These photographs were made in London. The couples define themselves as such by various criteria; some live together, some don't, some have been together a short time, some a very long time, and soon. I believe the relationship between gay men is an important but often neglected component central to their lives." - Sunil Gupta
