King Henry V is a history play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written around 1599. It tells the story of King Henry V of England, focusing on events immediately before and after the Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the Hundred Years' War. In the First Quarto text, it was entitled The Cronicle History of Henry the fift, which became The Life of Henry the Fifth in the First Folio text. The play is the final part of a tetralogy, preceded by Richard II, Henry IV, Part 1, and Henry IV, Part 2. The original audiences would thus have already been familiar with the title character, who was depicted in the Henry IV plays as a wild, undisciplined lad known as "Prince Harry" and by Falstaff as "Hal". In Henry V, the young prince has become a mature man and embarks on a successful conquest of France. Elizabethan stages did not use scenery. Acknowledging the difficulty of conveying great battles and shifts of location on a bare stage, the Chorus (a single actor) calls for a "Muse of fire" so that the actor playing King Henry can "[a]ssume the port [bearing] of Mars". He asks, "Can this cockpit [i.e. the theatre] hold / The vasty fields of France?" and encourages the audience to use their "imaginary forces" (imaginations) to overcome the stage's limitations: "Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts." The early scenes deal with the embarkation of Henry's fleet for France, and include a real-life incident in which the Earl of Cambridge and two others plotted to assassinate Henry at Southampton. (Henry's clever uncovering of the plot and his ruthless treatment of the plotters show that he has changed from the earlier plays in which he appeared.) When the Chorus reappears, he describes the country's dedication to the war effort - "They sell the pasture now to buy the horse." The chorus tells the audience, "We'll not offend one stomach with our play", a humorous reference to the fact that the scene of the play crosses the English Channel.

The research is based on the assumption that management reforms cause changes in municipal administration and its person-job fit. The theoretical description of the problem is possible by drawing on Edward's (1991) person-job fit theorem. Literature on modernisation concepts as e.g. the New Public Management (NPM) shows a general awareness of reforms' consequences on the personnel. The human capital theory delivers explanations for the incentive to react of both the organisation's executive level as well as the employees, in case management reforms cause a discrepancy in person job-fit. The conducted empirical studies confirm that management reforms do result in changes with impact on the person-job fit. The literature research brought evidence that NPM has only been adopted partially. Since the transformation, some reforms and changes in legislation have laid the foundation for a self-governmental administration that scores compared to the EU standard as relatively modern. The investigated Polish municipalities react on the changes in the person job fit. For example, employees do learn in a self-organised way. The administration reacts on the discrepancies mainly by recruiting new staff and by reallocating the tasks. Training is not applied systematically as means to problem solving and is available in many cases only in the context of externally financed projects, and even then not oriented towards individual needs. Changes do have enormous consequences for the personnel management of municipal administration. They change the requirements for the job holders substantially, and the administrations seem not able to react on the changes in a way that the personnel is enabled to meet the requirements. Unclear is if such an objective seems feasible if one considers the extreme dimensions of change, that spread between the paradigms of socialist administration and modernisation concepts in the sense of NPM.

Climate change is on everyone's mind, and it is an issue which demands a diverse range of solutions. To tackle climate change, sustainable management is required, but also securing access to ample food supplies and confronting water shortages. The new guidelines Sustainability in Craft Brewing, created with the help of BierConvent International e. V., Verband Private Brauereien Bayern e. V., Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences and the consulting firm of M. Mödinger in Siegsdorf, are devoted to this very issue. The demand for reliable information on sustainablility in brewing has been building in the industry , and due to the ongoing and widespread discussion on the subject, these guidelines will find broad acceptance among brewery owners and brewers, especially those running smaller operations.

Erstmalig: Victor Klemperers Leben in unveröffentlichten Briefen. Er wurde postum weltberühmt durch seine Notizen über die Nazizeit. Doch zugleich war Klemperer – als Literat, Lehrender und Krisenreporter – unermüdlich bestrebt, auf die Gesellschaft einzuwirken, und verteidigte dies beharrlich in seinen Briefen: Zeugnisse eines mutigen Mannes, der die Hoffnung nie aufgab. Wurde er als Junge von seinen älteren Brüdern mit drastischen Mitteln dazu erzogen, nicht jüdisch, sondern deutscher als deutsch zu sein – sie steckten ihn in einen orthopädischen Galgen, um ihm die »Haltungsschäden« auszutreiben –, musste er sich später gegenüber dem 1936 nach Amerika emigrierten Bruder rechtfertigen, weiter Deutscher sein zu wollen. Der aus dem aufgeklärten Bildungsbürgertum stammende Klemperer war überzeugt, dass persönliches Engagement unerlässlich ist, um die Demokratie zu erhalten. Es erweist sich gerade an ihm, wie elementar wichtig eine solche Haltung nicht nur für den Einzelnen, sondern für das Überleben einer humanen Gesellschaft ist. Ergreifend, erhellend, inspirierend – und ein Lesegenuss. Briefwechsel mit Lion und Marta Feuchtwanger, Stephan Hermlin, F. C. Weiskopf, mit seinen Verlegern, Verwandten, Widersachern, Schicksalsgefährten u. v. a.

This bookpresents material on both the analysis of the classical concepts of correlation and on the development of their robust versions, as well as discussing the related concepts of correlation matrices, partial correlation, canonical correlation, rank correlations, with the corresponding robust and non-robust estimation procedures. Every chapter contains a set of examples with simulated and real-life data. Key features: * Makes modern and robust correlation methods readily available and understandable to practitioners, specialists, and consultants working in various fields. * Focuses on implementation of methodology and application of robust correlation with R. * Introduces the main approaches in robust statistics, such as Huber's minimax approach and Hampel's approach based on influence functions. * Explores various robust estimates of the correlation coefficient including the minimax variance and bias estimates as well as the most B- and V-robust estimates. * Contains applications of robust correlation methods to exploratory data analysis, multivariate statistics, statistics of time series, and to real-life data. * Includes an accompanying website featuring computer code and datasets * Features exercises and examples throughout the text using both small and large data sets. Theoretical and applied statisticians, specialists in multivariate statistics, robust statistics, robust time series analysis, data analysis and signal processing will benefit from this book. Practitioners who use correlation based methods in their work as well as postgraduate students in statistics will also find this book useful.

<p>This volume summarizes and synthesizes an aspect of research work that has been done in the area of Generalized Convexity over the past few decades. Specifically, the book focuses on V-invex functions in vector optimization that have grown out of the work of Jeyakumar and Mond in the 1990’s. The authors integrate related research into the book and demonstrate the wide context from which the area has grown and continues to grow.</p>
