I Falconidi (Falconidae ()) sono una famiglia di uccelli rapaci, unica famiglia dell'ordine Falconiformes.

Descrizione
Sono uccelli di taglia medio-grande, con un'apertura alare variabile da 55 a oltre 125 cm, e con un peso da 28 a 2100 g; si caratterizzano per un becco più largo e più robusto di quello degli accipitriformi, contraddistinto dal cosiddetto «dente di falco», una sporgenza sul ramo superiore che s'inserisce perfettamente in un sottostante incavo del ramo inferiore. I falconini sono uccelli robusti, con ali appuntite, artigli affilati e piumaggio che va dal marrone al nero, striato o chiazzato, mentre i caracara sono più piccoli, con collo e gambe più lunghi, artigli più spessi e tozzi, ali più arrotondate, un capo semi-glabro, spesso colorato in modo vivace.

Le femmine sono in genere più grandi dei maschi (dimorfismo sessuale), e in alcune specie esibiscono anche un becco più robusto. Il piumaggio di entrambi i sessi è simile.

Biologia

Alimentazione
La maggior parte dei falconidi sono carnivori, sebbene alcune specie (come, per esempio, il caracara testagialla) includono nella loro dieta anche materia vegetale, come i frutti. Alcune specie sono molto specializzate, prediligendo un determinato tipo di preda, come il falco sghignazzante, che si nutre quasi esclusivamente di serpenti; ma la maggior parte si orienta opportunisticamente verso una più ampia varietà di prede, inclusi mammiferi (sino alle dimensioni di un agnello), uccelli, serpenti, sauri, testuggini, rane, pesci, crostacei e insetti. Parecchie specie sono necrofaghe, cioè si nutrono di carogne, altre sono cleptoparassite, cioè rubano le prede ad altri uccelli, come gabbiani, pellicani o altri rapaci.

La maggior parte dei falconidi cattura le prede in volo o tendendo agguati da un posatoio nascosto, ma sono note anche altre tecniche di caccia. Ad esempio, il falco aplomado (Falco femoralis) adotta strategie di caccia cooperativa con i suoi simili, per stanare e catturare piccoli uccelli. Alcune specie di caracara camminano sul terreno per catturare insetti e altri artropodi. Il caracara testagialla (Milvago chimachima) sta spesso appollaiato sul dorso dei bovini o di altri grossi mammiferi, per nutrirsi di zecche e altri parassiti.

I falconidi non uccidono con gli artigli, ma con il forte becco dentellato superiormente. Il colpo del becco, che di solito è immediatamente mortale, mira alle vertebre del collo. La separazione delle vertebre in questo punto è sufficiente per paralizzare e stordire all'istante la vittima.

Riproduzione
Sebbene le abitudini riproduttive di alcune specie siano poco note, si ritiene che la maggior parte dei falconidi sia monogama.

Con l'eccezione dei caracara, che costruiscono rudimentali nidi di ramoscelli rivestiti con materiali più morbidi come corteccia o lanugine, la maggior parte dei falconidi si limita a deporre le uova in anfratti nella roccia, in cavità degli alberi, talora anche in aree remote degli edifici urbani. Alcune specie sono solite appropriarsi dei nidi di altri uccelli.

La femmina solitamente presidia il nido e accudisce la prole, mentre il maschio si occupa di procacciare le prede.

Distribuzione e habitat
La famiglia ha una distribuzione cosmopolita, essendo presente in tutti i continenti eccetto l'Antartide. In Africa e Sud America si concentra la maggiore biodiversità.

Popola ogni tipo di habitat, dai deserti alle foreste tropicali.

Tassonomia
La famiglia Falconidae fu introdotta dallo zoologo inglese William Elford Leach in una guida ai contenuti del British Museum, pubblicati nel 1820.

Famiglie
Tradizionalmente, i rapaci erano raggruppati in quattro famiglie nell'ordine dei Falconiformes, ma molti pensavano che questo gruppo fosse parafiletico e non condividessero un antenato comune con l'esclusione di tutti gli altri uccelli.

Innanzitutto, molteplici linee di prova negli anni '70 e '80 suggerivano che gli avvoltoi del Nuovo Mondo, i Cathartidae, fossero più strettamente legati alle cicogne e agli aironi (Ciconiiformi), sebbene studi più recenti li collochino anche all'esterno di quel gruppo. Di conseguenza, gli avvoltoi del Nuovo Mondo sono ora spesso elevati al rango di ordine, Cathartiformes, indipendente e non strettamente associato né ai rapaci né alle cicogne o agli aironi. Nel 2007, la checklist nordamericana dell'American Ornithologists' Union portò Cathartidae nella posizione di comando in Falconiformes, ma con un asterisco che indichi che è un taxon "probabilmente mal riposto nella lista filogenetica corrente, ma per cui i dati che indicano il posizionamento corretto non sono ancora disponibili".

In Europa, è diventato comune dividere in due i rimanenti rapaci: i falchi e i caracara rimangono nell'ordine Falconiformes (circa 60 specie in 4 gruppi) e le restanti 220 specie dispari (tra cui gli Accipitridae, ossia aquile, poiane, avvoltoi del vecchio mondo, ecc.) sono messi nel separato ordine Accipitriformes. Una famiglia preistorica non ancora classificata e conosciuta solo da fossili sono gli Horusornithidae.

In accordo con la scissione di Falconiformi e Accipitriformi, l'analisi comparativa del genoma pubblicata nel 2008 ha suggerito che i falchi sono più strettamente legati ai pappagalli e ai passeriformi che agli altri uccelli, inclusi gli Accipitridi, rendendo così i Falconiformi polifiletici, anche se i Cathartidi rimangono esclusi. Effettivamente, un'analisi del 2011 di inserimenti di elementi trasponibili condivisi tra i genomi di falchi, passeriformi e pappagalli, ma non presente nei genomi di altri uccelli, ha confermato che i falchi sono un gruppo gemello del gruppo di pappagalli/passeri, ed insieme formando il clade Eufalconimorphae.

Sottofamiglie
Il clade Falconidae è composto da tre rami principali: i falchetti e veri falchi, i caracara e i falchi della foresta. Esistono diverse correnti di pensiero sul modo in cui questi generi vadano raggruppati nelle rispettive sottofamiglie. Inoltre, il posizionamento del falco sghignazzante (Herpetotheres) e il falchetto alimacchiate (Spiziapteryx) varia a seconda dell'autore.

Un approccio comune è utilizzare le due sottofamiglie Polyborinae e Falconinae. La prima contiene i caracaras, i falchi delle foreste e il falco sghignazzante. Tutte le specie in questo gruppo sono originarie delle Americhe.

Tuttavia, la composizione di Falconidae è contestata e Polyborninae non compare negli elenchi di controllo degli American Ornithologists'Union per gli uccelli del Nord e del Sud America prodotti dai Comitati di Classificazione (NACC e SACC). La check-list degli uccelli del Nord America considera il falco sghignazzante un vero falco (Falconinae) e sostituisce Polyborinae con Caracarinae e Micrasturinae. D'altra parte, la lista di controllo degli uccelli sudamericani classifica tutti i caracara come veri falchi e inserisce i falchi e i falchi della foresta nella sottofamiglia Herpetotherinae.

Basandosi sulla ricerca genetica dalla fine degli anni '90 al 2015, Boyd utilizza stabilisce tre sottofamiglie. Colloca il falco sghignazzante (Herpetotheres) tra i falchi delle foreste (Micrastur) in Herpetotherinae (simile alla classificazione SACC). Caracarinae è separato (simile alla classificazione NACC), ma contiene anche il falchetto alimacchiate (Spiziapteryx). Gli altri falchi vengono posizionati in Falconinae.

Falconinae, nella sua classificazione tradizionale, contiene falchi, falchetti e falchi pigmei. A seconda dell'autore, Falconinae può anche includere i caracara e/o il falco sghignazzante. Boyd divide ulteriormente i Falconinae in due tribù: i Polyhieracini contenenti i falchetti Microhierax, più i Falconini contenenti il genere Falco. Il falco pigmeo e il falco pigmeo orientale sono divisi in generi separati (Polyhierax e Neohierax), con il primo in Polyhieracini e il secondo in Falconini.

School inspection reports
Jobs at RSB
Rashid School for Boys first opened its doors in September 1986. The school is in Nad Al Sheba, a few kilometers inland from the end of Dubai Creek. It started as a secondary school and has since grown to include a primary section and is therefore now a 'through school' offering an education for Emirati students aged 3 to 18.
The admission policy into the school has evolved over the years, previously with up to 20% expatriate students being admitted from its opening to the year 2000. Now nearly all students are Emirati, with admission taking place only at the Foundation Stage when children are aged under five. The school underwent a major expansion in 2003 when a Primary Section was opened. This outstanding facility complemented the existing Secondary Section to produce a wonderful learning environment and some of the best educational resources in the region.
Many former students have now taken on important leadership roles in Dubai, in areas such as government, business and the arts. The impact that the school has had on the emirate is significant and this influence continues to grow each year.
The school works closely with its sister school, Latifa School for Girls, and many families have sons and daughters in both schools.

Treasures of Tombs Hidden Gold Slot Gameplay and Features: Wild symbols For Free Spins feature
This video slot game provides players with the opportunity to use 5 reels and 9 paylines in order to create a huge number of winning combinations that could potentially lead them to some big winnings. However, it is important to mention that players will not have the opportunity to adjust the number of pay lines in this game. Besides that, the starting fee in this game starts at 0.27 which will make this game even more interesting for many players.
The Wild symbol in this video slot t is the Eye and it is used as a replacement for any other symbol in the game. Besides that, these Wild symbols can also create their own winning combinations and in the case when five of them appear on the pay line, players will be rewarded with 12,600 coins. All Eye symbol wins are paid independently of the bet lines. However, that does not make it the highest paying symbol in the game because players will be rewarded with 35,000 coins in the case when five symbols that feature an image of a girl appears on the pay line. Interestingly, this video slot game does not feature Scatter symbols as a huge majority of other video slot games. Instead, the Wild symbols have taken over the tasks of Scatters in the sense of Free Spins feature. In the case when three or more Wilds appear on the reel, the Free Spins feature will be activated and players will be rewarded with 10 Free Spins. While playing this feature, players will also have the opportunity to win 10 additional free spins by landing another 3 Eye or Wild symbols on the reels.
When it comes to The Treasures of Tombs Hidden Gold video slot, it needs to be said that before the Free Spins feature gets activated, the game will select the Bonus symbol completely randomly. In this game, the Bonus symbol can be represented by any other symbol except by the Eye or the Wild. Regarding the Bonus symbols, all the Bonus symbol wins are paid independently of the bet lines.
Treasures of Tombs Hidden Gold Slot Audio and Video: Dig Deep into the Deserted Tombs
Visually, the Treasures of Tombs Hidden Gold video slot game looks really impressive. All symbols are elements that can be considered as treasure and of ancient origin. Because of that, those symbols perfectly fit the general theme. The reels in this game are transparent and they are set in the tomb which seems like a perfectly logical setting for this type of the slot game. The brown color even further depicts the atmosphere while the light from the torches in the background creates the atmosphere of exploring tombs and finding treasures.
The soundtrack of this video slot game features some elements of Arabian elements which automatically place this video slot in the desert which perfectly reflects all the stories about treasure hunting in those parts of the world. As such, it can be said that all sound, as well as visual effects, perfectly complement the general theme of this video slot game. The graphics and the animation are some of the best elements of this video slot and Playson did not disappoint with these technical aspects of the game.

Integrating SAP technology in the cloud-native era
27 août 2021David K Codelli, Ted Jones
Tags:Gestion du cloud
According to SAP and independent estimates nearly 80% of the world's electronic business transactions touch an SAP system at some point. This is a factor in virtually every digital transformation initiative in the business world today. If a company seeks to open a new digital route to market, at some point the company will need to integrate and connect transactions with its systems of record.
At the same time that new initiatives need to account for interactions with SAP's software, the deployed ERP systems themselves are in various stages of evolution. The longtime flagship of SAP's technology has been the R3 system, still widely deployed. However, in 2010 SAP debuted its HANA technology, an in-memory, columnar relational database management system (RDBMS), and followed this up in 2014 with S/4HANA, a rewrite of the ERP technology to run over HANA. In addition, as has been done by many business software vendors, SAP offers S/4HANA in a hosted (cloud) version.
Not surprisingly, SAP has tried to minimize the difficulty of upgrading, by preserving the interfaces into and out of SAP S/4HANA that were available in SAP ECC/SAP ERP/SAP Business Suite. Still, SAP S/4HANA is a rewrite, and the expertise of administration, configuration, development, and monitoring between the systems is different.
Not surprisingly, migrations have been complicated in many cases, and of course, many organizations have not migrated simply because SAP ECC/SAP ERP/SAP Business Suite has continued to satisfy their ERP needs. SAP of course has a strong incentive to make migration as simple as possible, and has a strong incentive to move customers off of its legacy technology and onto the newest platform (as do virtually all software companies).
Therefore, SAP ECC/SAP ERP/SAP Business Suite customers have a looming deadline (currently scheduled for 2027) for end-of-support. While five and a half years (at the time of this writing) seems like a long time to move to a newer SAP product (or possibly to a new ERP), IT executives know that these are complex systems intertwined with multiple fundamental business operations that take time to refactor.
Clearly, the majority of the largest businesses in the world are at some stage of a substantial migration. Anecdotal evidence suggests that many businesses are early in this migration. Recall again that businesses are in substantial upheaval already because of the business impacts of the COVID pandemic, the transition from three tier development to cloud native development, and the evolution to the hybrid cloud.
Challenges for SAP migration
Today's companies that rely on SAP's ERP technology face several key challenges that did not exist twenty years ago:
Migration from SAP ECC/SAP ERP/SAP Business Suite to SAP S/4HANA
Increasing demand of interfaces from systems of record (e.g. ERP systems) to systems of innovation (websites, mobile apps, partner channels, SAAS)
Culture and organizational changes related to software development for the hybrid cloud
These challenges put a strain on the use of integration technologies used by the companies, and the companies are finding that many of their legacy integration systems are not about to serve against these challenges.
Integration technology exists to facilitate the transfer of data synchronously or asynchronously between multiple applications. Developers have always had the option to write interfaces in their own code ("point to point integration") but integration technology grew out of several inefficiencies related to point to point integration, including:
Transforming, routing, and validating payloads between different formats is tedious and time consuming to configure in code.
Wire and application protocols that vary between applications.
Providing updates to administrators and other applications about the health of interfaces is complex.
Enforcing security in a myriad of protocols demanded by today's application is beyond the capabilities of most developers.
Integration technology over several years has been able to overcome these inefficiencies, generally by providing:
Productive, graphical canvasses for easily configuring complicated transformation, routing, and validation.
Connectors that encapsulate complexity of communication in re-usable units
Centralized monitoring.
Preconfigured security profiles, generally configured from a simple, declarative interface.
While these achievements are substantial, many integration products that have been suitable for integrating SAP ECC/ERP/Business Suite with many systems inside and outside the enterprise will find it difficult to migrate to SAP S/4HANA, compounded by the cultural and organizational changes of microservices development.
The predominant model for the last generation of integration technologies is the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). The ESB is a server process, like a database server, that is operated, configured, and maintained by the central IT organization that often operates, configures, and monitors the ERP applications. The ESB is typically deployed inside the IT department, which usually means that changes to the IT systems usually occur in nine to twelve month waterfall life cycles.
The systems of innovation that are competitive differentiators for a company are generally not owned, built, or maintained by the IT department. They are, rather, staffed by agile developers executing DevOps sprints in two week cycles. That means the agile developers can't wait for a nine month waterfall execution. Furthermore, microservices developers typically deploy their containers using DevOps pipelines. ESBs can not "fit" into containers — ESBs are server processes that are updated with proprietary GUIs.
Finally, part of the agility that agile developers seek comes from minimizing dependencies on external groups. To this end, agile developers prefer "self-service" integration; being able to subscribe to streams of data or APIs to invoke (assuming adequate security checks). The ESBs have no provision for self-service.
The gaps in the ability of ESBs to serve microservices has led to the rise in what Red Hat calls "Agile Integration" technology. These solutions are characterized by
Productive canvases that lead to integration logic that can be deployed as microservices in a devops pipeline
Strong registries and portals for self-service and governance
Monitoring, management, and deployment by technologies that are already used by microservices developers and operations teams
Red Hat Integration is Red Hat's implementation of these agile integration principles. Red Hat Integration includes comprehensive integration and messaging technologies to connect applications and data across hybrid infrastructures.
It is an agile, distributed, containerized, and API-centric solution. It provides service composition and orchestration, application connectivity and data transformation, real-time message streaming, change data capture, and API management — all combined with a cloud-native platform and toolchain to support the full spectrum of modern application development.
In addition to strong general support for all aspects of integration, Red Hat Integration has specific assets that make integrating various SAP applications much simpler and faster, as described in the following sections.
Effective SAP Integration
SAP has made integration and open source a priority since the advent of OData solutions like SAP NetWeaver Gateway and OpenAPIs for many of their products. In addition the Java Connector (JCo) has enabled partners and developers to create SAP Certified solutions to help keep the SAP digital core clean.
Customers can now build their enterprise applications and logic dependent on SAP and non-SAP data in a modernized application development platform like Red Hat OpenShift. Furthermore, integration is possible using side-by-side extensibility without creating custom code in ABAP environments, thus decoupling business logic and data.
Components in Red Hat Fuse (part of Red Hat Integration) for SAP
camel-sap: JCo connectivity for bi-directional communication with SAP ABAP environments.
Supported patterns for the camel-sap component
The SAP component package provides the following RFC and IDoc endpoints:
sap-srfc-destination
Synchronous Remote Function Call Destination Camel component. This endpoint should be used in cases where Camel routes require synchronous delivery of requests to and responses from an SAP system with best effort.
sap-trfc-destination
Transactional Remote Function Call Destination Camel component. This endpoint should be used in cases where requests must be delivered to the receiving SAP system at most once. To accomplish this, the component generates a transaction ID, tid, which accompanies every request sent through the component in a route's exchange.
The receiving SAP system records the tid accompanying a request before delivering the request. If the SAP system receives the request again with the same tid it will not deliver the request. Thus if a route encounters a communication error when sending a request through an endpoint of this component, it can retry sending the request within the same exchange knowing it will be delivered and executed only once.
sap-qrfc-destination
Queued Remote Function Call Destination Camel component. This component extends the capabilities of the Transactional Remote Function Call Destination camel component by adding in order delivery guarantees to the delivery of requests through its endpoints. This endpoint should be used in cases where a series of requests depend on each other and must be delivered to the receiving SAP system at most once and in order.
sap-srfc-server
Synchronous Remote Function Call Server Camel component. This component and its endpoints should be used in cases where a Camel route is required to synchronously handle requests from and responses to an SAP system.
sap-trfc-server
JBoss Fuse SAP Transactional Remote Function Call Server Camel component. This endpoint should be used in cases where the sending SAP system requires at most once delivery of its requests to a Camel route. To accomplish this, the sending SAP system generates a transaction ID, tid, which accompanies every request it sends to the component's endpoints.
The sending SAP system will first check with the component whether a given tid has been received by it before sending a series of requests associated with the tid. The component will check the list of received tids it maintains, record the sent tid if it is not in that list, and then respond to the sending SAP system, indicating whether or not the tid has already been recorded. The sending SAP system will only then send the series of requests, if the tid has not been previously recorded. This enables a sending SAP system to reliably send a series of requests once to a camel route.
sap-idoc-destination
IDoc Destination Camel component. This endpoint should be used in cases where a Camel route is required to send a list of Intermediate Documents (IDocs) to an SAP system.
sap-idoclist-destination
IDoc List Destination Camel component. This endpoint should be used in cases where a Camel route is required to send a list of Intermediate documents (IDocs) list to an SAP system.
sap-qidoc-destination
Queued IDoc Destination Camel component. This component and its endpoints should be used in cases where a Camel route is required to send a list of Intermediate documents (IDocs) to an SAP system in order.
sap-qidoclist-destination
Queued IDoc List Destination Camel component. This component and its endpoints should be used in cases where a camel route is required to send a list of Intermediate documents (IDocs) list to an SAP system in order.
sap-idoclist-server
IDoc List Server Camel component. This endpoint should be used in cases where a sending SAP system requires delivery of Intermediate Document lists to a Camel route. This component uses the tRFC protocol to communicate with SAP.
OData components
Red Hat Fuse has support for OData v2 and OData v4 endpoints via the following components:
camel-netweaver
With support for OData v2, this connector is for read-only OData connectivity to SAP systems. It is a lightweight implementation.
camel-olingo2
Also supporting OData v2 SAP endpoints, this connector uses the Olingo Java library for OData. It supports CRUD use cases and can be used for any OData v2 SAP endpoint such as SAP NetWeaver Gateway, and SuccessFactors.
This component, also built on Olingo, supports OData v4 endpoints. These endpoints can be from SAP NetWeaver Gateway, SAP S4/HANA or any OData v4 compliant endpoint.
SOAP/WSDL Integration with SAP
SAP also enables data integration for SOAP Web Services via WSDL endpoints. Red Hat Fuse has support for SOAP 1.1 and 1.2. There is additional support for mapping WSDL to REST Domain Specific Language (DSL) as well.
Red Hat 3scale is a full life-cycle API management platform that can manage SAP APIs created in Red Hat Fuse, SAP Business Hub or SAP Business One using the OpenAPI specification.
ABAP as as Service
Using the tools and components, you are able to create a CRUD REST API to connect to your BAPIs and RFCs in SAP ECC or SAP S4/HANA. Once created, you can manage your new SAP APIs in Red Hat 3scale API Management (part of Red Hat Integration) to allow for monitoring, metering, security, throttling, publishing in a developer portal.
Integration with SAP and non-SAP Systems
With Red Hat Fuse, developers can connect to SAP or non-SAP sources and create data process flows that can act upon data from one data source and perform operations on another. For example, imagine adding an employee in SuccessFactors and automatically creating a ticket in ServiceNow for new employee training or tasks for IT like setting up their computer or network connection. Red Hat Fuse integrates with other CRMs like Salesforce as well and can create combined APIs consuming data from SAP and other CRMs. Red Hat Fuse components allow for connectivity to any SAP data source and over 200 other data sources.
Serverless SAP
Serverless is a development pattern that allows coders to focus on code and not concern themselves with infrastructure. Red Hat enables serverless capabilities for SAP via Camel K and AMQ Streams eventing. You can stream events from SAP to serverless functions using our SAP certified solutions.
Centralize and Monetize APIs
Data is a commodity. It's expensive to get and it can be expensive to make sense of. APIs provide a way to collect, combine and serve data to any number of consumers. Red Hat 3scale makes it easy to not only manage APIs from SAP and non-SAP sources, including publishing them for consumption in a customizable developer portal, but allows you to monetize access to your APIs whether they are consumed internally or externally. For example, you can enable partners to sign up and consume your APIs and either profit or recoup costs with integration with major payment gateways such as Braintree and Stripe.
SAP recommends keeping the SAP Digital Core clean in order to reduce costs and time in upgrades and migrations. Red Hat Integration is a key component to enable you to extend SAP systems and adopt modern application development practices to allow you the agility to speed up your go to market strategy and encourage innovation.

The Allure of Emerging Markets
Our global research team has a positive view on emerging markets. Emerging markets make up more than 80% of the world's population and they generate approximately 60% of the world's Gross Domestic Product. Emerging markets are appealing to many investors because of their attributes, which include large populations, young demographics, and a rapidly expanding middle class.
Among the various emerging market regions, our team prefers Asia given the opportunities across several countries throughout the continent. China is especially interesting given its large population and the long-term factors that will fuel the growth of its economy. These factors include the rise of the urban middle class, increasing domestic consumption, and the growth of the services economy.
Investing in China has been popular for a long time and there are different ways for an investor to get exposure to China. Some investors prefer to get local exposure by investing in domestically listed companies in China and Hong Kong. This can be accomplished by investing directly in the region or by investing in an American Depositary Receipt (ADR), which are listed on various stock exchanges in the United States. The rationale for investing directly is to get pure play exposure. Other investors prefer to get their exposure by investing in developed market companies that happen to have strong footprints in China. We have consistently leaned towards the latter strategy given that we have a higher comfort level in the accounting and the rule of law for companies headquartered in the developed world.
It has been a difficult period for investors who prefer pure play exposure. Goldman Sachs recently identified a basket of China American Depositary Receipts that has declined by 55% since the middle of February. One of the key reasons for the large decline is related to Chinese regulators who have targeted certain industries, with technology at the forefront. Last November, Chinese regulators blocked the initial public offering of Ant Group. Ant is a sister company of Alibaba, the e-commerce colossus whose founders include billionaire Jack Ma. Since reaching an all-time high last November, shares of Alibaba have fallen by approximately 50%. Internet giant Tencent has seen its shares fall by approximately 40% over the same period on the back of this regulatory fallout. Another example of regulatory interference can be seen with a company called Didi, which is China's answer to Uber and Lyft. On June 30th, Didi completed an initial public offering that valued the company at $67 billion, only to have Chinese regulators respond fiercely. Didi was ordered to remove its apps from mobile stores and the company is now being subjected to a cybersecurity review. Didi's shares have fallen by approximately 50% since July.
The regulatory risks in China extend beyond the Technology industry as seen by recent developments in the education sector. In the month of July, China announced sweeping new rules for private tutoring. These new rules created a significant business impact for private education firms as Beijing stepped up regulatory oversight of the industry. Shares of New Oriental Education & Technology Group and TAL Education Group have each fallen by approximately 90% since the new rules were announced last month.
As previously mentioned, we prefer to get our exposure to China through developed market companies that happen to have strong footprints in China. Examples include Estée Lauder and Nike. A brief description of each company follows.
Estée Lauder has a market leading position in the global prestige beauty industry. Prestige beauty is a large and fast-growing industry in China and it includes skincare, make-up, fragrances, and hair care. According to the NPD Group (a leading global information company), China's prestige beauty e-commerce sales reached $5.4 billion through the first half of 2021. This represents a 47% increase over the same period last year. Estée Lauder first established a presence in Hong Kong in 1961. Today the company employs more than 17,000 people in the Asia Pacific region and it operates more than 400 freestanding stores and thousands of points of sale. For fiscal year 2021, the Asia Pacific region accounted for approximately $5.5 billion in revenue for Estée Lauder or about 34% of the company's total revenue. Although the company generates a substantial portion of its sales from Asia, it is headquartered in the United States.
Nike has a market leading position in the global athletic footwear and apparel industry. Nike has an exciting opportunity in China given that the government recently announced an ambitious plan to make sports into a $773 billion industry by 2025, a 70% increase from 2019. This announcement falls on the back of China's success at the Tokyo Olympics where it won a total of 88 medals including 38 gold medals. Nike has operated in China for more than 35 years and the company employs more than 8,000 people directly in its Shanghai headquarters and Taicang Distribution Center. In fiscal year 2021, the Greater China business accounted for more than $8 billion of Nike's revenue or approximately 19% of Nike's total sales. Nike's Greater China business grew by 24% during fiscal year 2021. Although the company generates a substantial portion of its sales from China, it is headquartered in the United States.
In addition to Estée Lauder and Nike, we own several other companies that generate a significant portion of their revenue from China and other emerging markets. These companies include Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (luxury), Diageo (alcoholic beverages), and Essilor-Luxottica (eyewear). Like Estée Lauder and Nike, these companies are headquartered in developed countries. In addition to these companies, we also have some investments in companies that are headquartered directly in emerging markets. We have intentionally stayed away from industries where we see substantial regulatory risk and we believe that our exposures are manageable in the context of our global portfolios. When taken it aggregate, the majority of our emerging markets exposure is held through companies headquartered in developed world countries. However, this doesn't mean we are completely insulated from the risks that exist in emerging markets. Earlier this year Nike went through a period of volatility on the back of a boycott of international brands. The issue was related to Nike's avoidance of the Xinjiang cotton region and the controversy around forced labour in the region. More recently, we have seen some volatility in Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton on the back of the backlash against luxury companies and conspicuous consumption in China. While we don't enjoy it when our companies go through periods of volatility, we believe that the volatility is manageable in the context of our overall portfolio. More importantly, we remain optimistic about the long-term prospects for the companies held across our portfolios.
In conclusion, we prefer to get the majority of our emerging markets exposure by investing in companies that are incorporated in the developed world that happen to have strong footprints in the emerging markets. By embracing this strategy, we believe that we can accomplish three things. We will have more certainty about the sustainability of our investment, we can lower the volatility of our portfolios, and ultimately generate smoother returns for our clients over the long term.
Have a good weekend,

Female Leaders at Clemson
By Joe Galbraith // Athletic Communications
Following the passing of Title IX in 1972 and the merger of the NCAA and the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) in 1981, the position of Senior Woman Administrator (first named Primary Woman Administrator prior to a change in 1989) was established across NCAA schools to ensure at least one female was involved in high-level strategies of athletic departments.
Today, the designation of Senior Woman Administrator is officially "intended to encourage and promote the involvement of female administrators in meaningful ways in the decision-making process in intercollegiate athletics," says the NCAA.
At Clemson, Natalie Honnen joined the department in July as SWA following six years at Yale, but she is hardly the lone female voice involved in department strategy. Other females play prominent roles among the athletic director's senior staff, with Honnen joining Dr. Loreto Jackson, Associate Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Services, and Stephanie Ellison, Associate Athletic Director for Compliance Services. Longtime administrator Barbara Kennedy-Dixon also serves as a special assistant to the director.
"It's vital for us to have different opinions, different backgrounds and different perspectives on our senior staff," said Dan Radakovich, Director of Athletics. "Each of our female administrators has responsibilities with both men's and women's sports. They're administrators for the entire athletic department, and hopefully at the same time, influential role models for the 231 female student-athletes on our campus."
The three female leaders recently sat down for a discussion about their roles at Clemson, women in college athletics and how their careers have been shaped. An excerpt of that discussion is below.
Why did you pursue a career in college athletics and how did you first start your career?
Stephanie Ellison: Being from this area, of course, that's what you see. As a child, every Saturday you came to a Clemson football game – because that's what you do. In high school, I played sports, mainly basketball. I always wanted to do something within athletics, but I wasn't sure what that was. I thought I wanted to be a trainer. I wanted to be the first female trainer in the NFL. But then physics and human anatomy and those classes! So that changed my mind! (Laughter.) Honestly, I got into this side of athletics not knowing that this is something that was even a possibility. But I had an opportunity as a student here to get in and see what the other side of athletics was. I started out in athletics stuffing envelopes for Tommy West as a student worker in football. That's how I got my start and still wasn't sure what I really wanted to do. I had thoughts about becoming an agent, but I had an opportunity to be a graduate student in Becky Bowman's compliance office, and that's how I got started. To be able as a student to get to see what really goes on behind the scenes was the first step.
Natalie Honnen: Growing up, I always loved sports. Everything that my life consisted of, athletics was a big part of it. I didn't realize there was a profession in college athletics. It didn't even dawn on me that people do this for a living. After meeting people at the University of Florida, I started volunteering and I said, "Wow, this is a career. This is something I can do." And I loved it. I was excited about it and it was always about not only the athletic experience, but also the education part as well. That's why I think I stayed in college athletics, because it's the combination of both.
Dr. Loreto Jackson: I came from such a different route. I had no idea, coming from a different country, about this athletic world. The model didn't exist there, so I didn't know any athletic administrators. Coming from Northern Ireland, there was a performance model, where the focus was on wellness and performance. So when I came here, I really began working from a disease model and I got a bit burnt out with adults who weren't complying with what you told them to do to take care of themselves. So eventually, I fell into it working with young people and athletes and figuring out the health and wellness of sport. And for the most part, the student-athletes are really interested in it, and I can see them grow and perform while supporting them along the way. But it wasn't a route I had planned. After having all of the experience in the health and wellness field and finding the population that I'm excited about, I'm loving this role and it continues to grow.
What advice would you give to a young female wanting to get into athletics?
Dr. Loreto Jackson: Go through every door that's open to you.
Natalie Honnen: Run through them. It doesn't matter what the role is. Stephanie talked about stuffing envelopes. My first volunteer experience was checking the garbage cans at a donor event and making sure none of them overfilled. If you work hard and do things the right way, people notice. So take advantage of those opportunities.
Stephanie Ellison: I'd second that. If you have a desire to be in an athletic profession, take any opportunity that comes your way. At the end of the day, it's about getting in the door. Like Natalie said, once you're in, work hard regardless of what that job is because you never know who's watching. We all know in the athletic world that people move around. And when somebody moves and remembers a hard worker, the exact qualifications might not matter. Being a hard worker does.

Chikungunya är en virussjukdom med liknande symptom som denguefeber. Det finns inget motmedel mot viruset, men sjukdomen går över av sig själv efter en tid.

Allmän beskrivning, systematik, morfologi
Chikungunyaviruset isolerades ifrån en patient i östra Afrika 1952 . Patientens kliniska symtom liknade symtomen vid denguefeber. Sjukdomen fick namnet chikungunya vilket betyder ``det som böjs upp´´ på det lokala språket och som syftar på de allvarliga ledsmärtor som sjukdomen orsakar. Chikungunya är ett Alfavirus tillhörande familjen Togaviridae . Virusets kapsid är 70 nm i diameter och har en icosahedral form. Kapsiden har ett membran som viruset tar med sig när det knoppas av från den infekterade värdcellen. Från membranet skjuter ca 80 trimeriska virala ytantigen ut. Dessa glykoproteiner använder viruset för att binda in till och infektera värdcellen. Det virala genomet utgörs av en enkelsträngad RNA molekyl med positiv polaritet.

Symptom
Virussjukdomen orsakar symtom som karaktäriseras av en intensiv smärta i leder, muskler, rygg samt huvudvärk, fotofobi (ljusrädsla), feber och ibland även utslag. Led och muskelvärken kan vara kronisk och återkommande vilket skiljer chikungunya från t.ex. denguefeber. Alla smittade uppvisar dock inte dessa kliniska manifestationer då 3-25 % av de som blir infekterade inte har några symtom. Inkubationstiden är 2-10 dagar. Febern pågår ungefär en vecka och sammanfaller med viremi, det vill säga med höga halter av virus i blodet. Febern avtar sedan vanligen efter att virustitern i blodet sjunker. Virusreplikationen sker främst i muskler, leder och hud vilket leder till inflammation och smärta. Hos nyfödda, äldre och personer försvagade av andra sjukdomar kan även levern, mjälten och hjärnhinnan drabbas. Virusinfektion hos dessa grupper kan orsaka allvarliga symtom som inflammation i hjärna, hjärta och lever, kardiovaskulära och respiratoriska rubbningar samt njursvikt . Den har inte ansetts dödlig, men under 2005 och 2006 har dödsfall på ön Réunion sammankopplats med sjukdomen.

Behandling

Det finns inget motmedel mot viruset, men mot själva myggan kan man skydda sig med på samma sätt som mot andra myggor. Mot infektionsbesvären kan man ta lindrande medel och sjukdomen går över av sig själv efter en tid.

Spridning
Flera olika myggarter kan sprida viruset till människor via bett. Även däggdjur och fåglar blir smittade och bildar då en reservoar för viruset vilket försvårar bekämpning av sjukdomen. De huvudsakliga myggvärdarna är myggor ur släktet Aedes där Gulafebernmyggan, A. aegypti, och Asiatisk tigermyggan, A. albopictus, är de mest uppmärksammade och viktigaste vektorerna. De är framförallt aktiva utomhus vid morgon och skymning. Myggorna kan själva smittas enkelt då de biter människor i den viremiska fasen det vill säga under de 2-10 dagar smittade har höga halter av virus i blodet. Resenärer kan bidra till sjukdomens utbredning genom att föra den vidare till länder som har lämpliga myggpopulationer. Amerika har till exempel främst haft sådana importerade fall av chikungunya tills 2013 då de första lokala fallen rapporterades på den franska delen av ön Saint Martin i Karibien.

Utbredning

Chikungunya finns i Afrika, Nord- och Sydamerika, Sydostasien, Frankrike och Italien. Sedan 2014 finns sjukdomen bekräftad i Haiti, USA och El Salvador. http://reliefweb.int/disaster/ep-2014-000081-slv

Diagnos
Sjukdomen diagnosticeras kliniskt eftersom feber och ledvärk är typiska kännetecken för sjukdomen där den förekommer. Viremi kan fastställas genom att räkna antalet lymfocyter då mindre än 1000 lymfocyter per kubikmilliliter blod är associerat med viremi. För att säkert fastställa att chikungunyaviruset orsakar symtomen krävs molekylär diagnostik i form av PCR med omvänd transkription.

No wonder people from every part of the world flock to New York City for both pleasure and business.
Irrespective of where you are coming from, you probably heard a lot about the heart of the American dream. From the famous high rises to historical landmarks, from the serene Hudson River banks to the fanciest hangout places in town—we are all aware of the great things NYC has to offer, thanks to American Television and Hollywood.

MC&I designed, manufactured and installed the RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation System on a Flat Bolted Storage Tank located in Lansing, MI at Michigan State University. The storage tank was a 53.22 x 26.75 high flat bolted tank with a membrane roof. The insulation project was completed on July 12, 2013.
The storage tank was utilized as an anaerobic digester at an agriculture research facility.
The RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Insulated Panel System consisted of 0.024 stucco-embossed aluminum metal jacketing, in White color, laminated to 2" polyisocyanurate insulation board. (R-value of 13.1).
Anaerobic digesters are specially designed, insulated storage tanks that are used to facilitate the anaerobic digestion process under a controlled atmosphere. This is to achieve maximum biogas production in a short period of time.
Organic Waste from the facility is collected and stored in an air tight heated digester storage tank. Bacteria begins the decomposition process to turn waste into biogas, which is combusted to generate electricity, heat, renewable natural gas or transportation fuels. RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Thermal Insulation is necessary to MAINTAIN the operating temperature for the anaerobic digestion process to occur.


Our final stops on the graduation trip were Florence and Milan. In Florence, we had a packed day of museums, seeing the Museo Galileo, the world-famous Uffizi, and the Galleria dell'Accademia, which holds Michelangelo's David. In Milan, we took a walking tour of the city and saw Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. Finally, having had all of the adventure we could take in one trip, we flew back home to the States.
In Florence, we stayed near the Piazza della Signoria, the historical center of the Florentine Republic and continuing hub of the city. To my personal great amusement, Jan Fabre's Searching for Utopia, a bronze statue of a giant turtle being ridden in equestrian style, was exhibited during our visit.
Our first museum stop was the Museo Galileo, which holds an impressive array of early scientific instruments. The collections are laid out to show the parallel development of computational, optical, nautical, and astronomical instrumentation and theories. The artistry of these pieces was as impressive as their function.
Our next stop was the Uffizi Gallery, the highly decorated offices of the Medici family turned museum.
Finally, we visited the Galleria dell'Accademia, home to Michelangelo's famous marble David.
The last stop on our trek through Italy was Milan, Italy's business center. Our tour began with Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper, a stunning piece of history to see in person. We continued to the brick Sforza Castle, the beautiful Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping center, and finally the expansive Milan Cathedral.
With this beautiful conclusion to our adventures through Italy, we headed home, back to "real life".

Q: cloud 9 creating 2 workspaces when I try to create 1 I signed up for a (free) c9 account;  verified email address etc.
I selected CREATE NEW WORKSPACE and selected "Ruby on Rails", "Private to the people I invite" (I'm under the impression I get one free Private workspace?), name it "tPRoRD" (abbreviation of the course I'm taking), and select "CREATE"
Expected Behavior:
I hoped to see in the left "MY PROJECTS" pane, adjacent to the default "demo-project", a new project entitled "tPRoRD".
Observed Behavior:
There is a new 'Open and Discoverable' project entitled "tprord";  and a 'greyed-out' project entitled "tPRoRD" which is listed as 'processing'.
When "tPRoRD" is selected, the expected "Start Editing" button is replaced with one entitled "Cancel creation".
I have posted this question on cloud9ide.zendesk.com and have started going back and forth with support - long lags due to time zones.
Has anyone else seen this?
tks!  -rb

A: (may be) SOLVED:  appears to be fixed on it's own - does anyone know, the little 'lock' icon next to a workspace name indicate the workspace is 'private' vs 'open and discoverable'?

A: tks Brady (at cloud 9) and Ruby on Rails instructor Mashrur Hossain for looking into this for me :-)

French Open 2016 : Why is it the toughest slam to crack?
by Figgy Pawsebourne
It's that time of the year again, the time when the best in world from tennis take on each other to accomplish the glory of achieving a "grand slam" – the French Open 2016. After playing on the hard courts of Australia in January, the focus now shifts to clay court – arguably the toughest of all courts in tennis.
The clay court for any tennis follower has always been a peculiar topic of discussion – it's hard to say what kind of gameplay is successful on this court. While a fast and speedy Nadal has 9 French open titles to his name, the classy Byorn Borg whose game was quite contrary to Nadal has 6 to his title tally.
French Open provides the viewers with intense battle between tennis' best and while it is true that the conditions to play are quite uncomfortable at times due to clay which sticks to the player's shoes and it gets difficult to cover the clay ground, it is also a reason perhaps why French open beholds with itself so much of importance.
Let's look at a few key moments from French Open history :
The French open that is also referred to as "Roland Garros", is a tennis grand slam held from late may to early 1st week of June.
The first French open was held in the year 1891 and at that time it was only open to members of the French club.
The first women's singles tournament was however held in 1897, mixed doubles in 1902, women's doubles in 1907.
In 1925, the French open became open to tennis players all across the globe, even those who were not part of the French club.
The French open continued to take place during World War II from 1941 to 1945. These 4 years were however not recognized by the French governing body Federation Francaise de tennis.
Since 2006, the French open began to start on Sunday, featuring 12 single matches played across 3 courts.
French open 2016 starts from 22nd of May i.e. Sunday.
Tennis has had many greats but it is considered that no player takes the leap from good to extraordinary and get in the tennis books of "all time" greats unless they don't have the "all slam" i.e. all the 4 grand slams in Australian, French, Wimbledon and US.
There have been many greats that have won 3 grand slams but have failed to get their hands on the French open – which undisputedly gives the tournament a great importance among the tennis players across globe, maybe the toughest grand slam of all to crack.
Some legends who couldn't win French open are : John McEnroe, Stefan Edberg, Jimmy Connors, Novaj Djokovic (thus far), Frank Sedgman, John Newcombe, Venus Williams, Martina Hingis to name a few.
French open requires a game contrary to what tennis players are naturally blessed with; usually tennis players like to serve big volleys and be quick across the court but the clay court unables them to play in this fashion – thus adapting to the clay court is the toughest part of a tennis player's game. The French open 2016 will give you the perfect glimpse into how tough it is to play on a clay court – don't miss Rolland Garros 2016.

President Obama's assertion that the federal ban on same sex-marriage is unconstitutional has expanded the political debate on legal rights for gay Americans.
The administration's position on the Defense of Marriage Act "will affect every nook and cranny of gay rights," says James Esseks of the American Civil Liberties Union.
"It's a new world," says Esseks, who heads the ACLU's Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender & AIDS Project.
By saying it regards the 15-year-old federal law as unconstitutional, the White House has injected gay rights as an issue into the next presidential election. Obama is expected to run for a second term in 2012.
Some conservative activists have already begun raising money by pointing to what they characterize as the White House's refusal to "defend marriage," and influential Catholic leaders are echoing that language.
Those groups already were displeased by Congress' repeal of a ban on openly gay Americans in the military. Now the administration's position on DOMA brings fresh attention to other efforts under way to equalize treatment of gays and lesbians under federal law.
Democrats on Capitol Hill, in the wake of the White House decision, have promised to reintroduce a bill that would repeal the act and will propose legislation to extend spousal benefits to domestic partners and spouses of gay federal workers.
Though the president's move has been characterized as a turning point — for him and the gay-rights movement — even the most optimistic activists say that rapid change on marriage and benefits is unlikely given the current political and economic realities on Capitol Hill.
Marriage And Benefits
The fate of DOMA remains in the hands of the courts and Congress.
"The Defense of Marriage Act is still the law of the land and still very much in effect," says Brian Moulton, chief legal counsel at the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay-rights organization.
But Moulton says that not only does the administration's decision strengthen the call for extending benefits to same-sex partners but it also means the law may "go away sooner rather than later."
On Thursday, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, said he planned to reintroduce his Respect for Marriage Act, which would repeal the ban on same-sex marriage. Aides to Sen. Joseph Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, said he plans to introduce his domestic partnership bill again. Lieberman's bill, and a similar one in the House sponsored by openly gay Rep. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, would extend federal spousal benefits to the domestic partners of gay federal workers.
In 2009, the administration used its authority to extend certain fringe benefits to the same-sex partners of gay federal workers. Those benefits include using sick time to care for a same-sex partner or, in the case of federal workers overseas, relocation help and coverage for medically evacuating a partner from a foreign post.
But same-sex partners remain ineligible for health and life insurance benefits and access to their partner's retirement benefits.
"The administration has made it clear that they cannot extend these benefits without Congress," Esseks says.
Lieberman, who held hearings on his bill last year, has argued that extending benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees is not only a civil-rights issue, but one that would make the government more competitive in attracting talent.
Nearly 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies offered domestic partnership benefits in 2009, as do nearly two dozen states, and more than 8,000 private-sector companies, according to data compiled by the Senate.
"Clearly, there is growing support for this legislation," Baldwin says. "But with the House now in Republican hands, I do think it is unlikely to advance there, though I still think there's a prospect in the Senate.
"But this issue won't be resolved at the end of this Congress," she says. "We need to keep pushing, and tell the very personal stories of what people suffer because they are not able to protect their families with health care coverage and other tangible benefits that help keep their families strong."
Six states and the District of Columbia have legalized same-sex marriage, although new gay marriages in California have been halted pending the outcome of an ongoing court battle. On Thursday, Maryland appeared poised to become the seventh, after the Senate approved a gay-marriage bill.
With DOMA still a national law, marriages in those jurisdictions are not recognized by the federal government.
Three states have passed same-sex civil union laws, which provide state-level spousal rights to gay couples, according to Marriage Equality USA. A half-dozen states have domestic-partnership provisions. Thirty states have passed constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage.
Correction: February 25, 2011 12:00 am — A previous version of this story incorrectly identified Jerrold Nadler as a New Jersey representative. Nadler represents New York.

The morning is the "golden period" of nourishing the liver. If you insist on eating these four kinds of breakfast, the liver will be very grateful to you
It's best to eat some bitter vegetables, such as balsam pear, leek and carrot. Bitter vegetables can reduce liver fire. If you can drink a cup of chrysanthemum tea, it's better. Vegetables contain a lot of water and vitamins. Most of the vitamins in our body are synthesized and stored by the liver. Vegetables can just provide these vitamins. < / P > < p > choose the right food for breakfast to maintain your health. The liver is an important organ. If you want to protect the liver, you might as well eat oats at breakfast. Oats as a more common cereal food, whether it is porridge eating or with other food to obtain nutrients can maintain health, if it has fatty liver is reducing liver function, you can eat oats properly, which is beneficial to increase the sense of satiety, can reduce other calorie intake, can improve liver function as soon as possible. < / P > < p > many people will choose to eat an egg as breakfast in the morning. Eggs contain protein, amino acids and various trace elements needed by human development, and the nutrition needed by liver can also be found in eggs. Therefore, eating an egg for breakfast can timely supplement the nutrients consumed by the liver and maintain the normal activity of liver cells. < / P > < p > in daily life, carrots are a very grounded food, some people like to eat raw carrots, some people like to eat cooked carrots. However, in these two ways of eating, it is more recommended that we use the latter way of eating. Cooked carrots can make the nutrients in carrots more easily absorbed by people. At the same time, the most prominent feature of carrots is that they are rich in carotenoids, which can be converted into vitamin A in the body. Its physiological function is to protect the liver and promote the repair of liver mucosa. People who love to eat carrots can make some gourds for themselves at breakfast. With broccoli, a cruciferous vegetable, the health effect will be better. CUISINE&HEALTH

Skeered Of The Flag?
Home/In the News/Skeered Of The Flag?
Why Are They Skeered of the Confederate Flag?
by Javier Manjarres
According to FOX News, two Long Island, New York high school students have been suspended from school for displaying a Confederate flag to a school sporting event.
Brother Gary Cregan, the principal at St. Anthony's High School in South Huntington, told WCBS-TV the boys walked into the after-hours sporting event with the flag draped around their shoulders.
"The African-American students who immediately saw it really exercised heroic restraint and fortunately a teacher immediately confiscated the flag and took the students out of the gym," Cregan said.
While everyone can agree that the Confederate flag may represent hate to many, the flag is also a symbol of heritage in the "Deep South."
But what about free speech? Isn't it the rights of these two men, as well as every other American, to express themselves however they please?
If the Confederate flag is considered so racist, and should not be banned from being displayed in public, then how about banning the Nation of Islam flag, as well as the Black Panther flag?
Back in the 1900's when the Confederate flag proudly flew throughout the southern United States, it wasn't displayed to call attention the slavery of blacks that was occurring, but to represent those southern states.
There is a very big difference here between the Confederate flag and those flags from the Black Panther Party, Nation of Islam, and the KKK, which all convey outright hatred.

Born on September 16th, 1387 (Monmouth, Monmouthshire, Wales), Henry V of the House of Lancaster, was as the eldest son of Henry IV and Mary de Bohun. In 1398 he was taken under the charge of Richard II, who paved the way for his knighting a year later. With the help of his uncle, Henry Beaufort (Duke of Winchester), Henry V was well educated by the standards of his time and through his fondness of music and indulgence of literature Henry V became the first English King who could both read and write with ease in the vernacular English language (www.britannica.com). In the year 1399, October 15th, after the ascension of his father to the English throne, Henry was appointed with various titles: Earl of Chester, Duke of Cornwall, Prince of Wales, and Duke of Aquitaine and Lancaster. A year later all administration of Wales was done by his name and in 1403, he took command against the Welsh rebels, something that absorbed much of his energy and efforts until 1408. But due to his gambling habits and his entitlement to being Prince, many perceived he would never make a good King. Yet those opinions changed and so did Henry when he took the crown after his father in 1413. A once reckless and dissolute youth, (immortalized by the Elizabethan playwright: Shakespeare) displays no more than the innate ebullience of a young man whose energies found an unsatisfactory vent.
In Shakespeare's time, it was a necessity to the playwrights for a monarch to approve of their works otherwise there was a possibility that the monarch would shut them down. The crowned monarch during the release of Henry V was Elizabeth I, who was then leading the country in the 9 years war with Ireland. In previous works (Henry IV parts I+II) Shakespeare depicts Henry V as a wild young prince who enjoyed drinking and socializing with the common folk. Conversely, in Henry V, as the young royal goes to war with France, Shakespeare portrays him as a strong and great monarch mainly in the hopes of reflecting well on the monarchy (chiefly at a time of war: the 9 years war).
Henry V investigates the concept that the traits that make one a great King are not essentially ethically venerable ones—in other words what makes a good King is not what makes a good person. The qualities that make this particular British monarch (Henry V) admirable across the world comprise of his bravery, eloquence, ability to appear noble or meek (as situations differ) and his ability to step down from his position and talk to the common soldiers as his equals, ("Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,"—speech before the Battle of Harfleur). His less admirable qualities include his refusal to take responsibility for other people's deaths and his heartless attitude toward his former friends. Whichever qualities may hold more ground, it is important to note that in order to be effective, it is essential for the monarch in question appear to be good. Since he had no legitimate claim to the throne, Henry V had to seem like he had God on his side. Thus, he made sure to have the support of the Arch Bishop of Canterbury for his 'legal' claim to the French throne. Throughout Henry V Shakespeare leaves a trail that informs us that Henry somewhat performs the part of a good King. He puts aside personal feelings in order to fulfill that which was required of him as a ruler and achieve the desired results at all cost; and to pacify the demands of his throne Henry was willing to kill his friends in cold blood and slaughter thousands of French people in the heat of battle.
Not much can be said concerning the character of Henry V. As a hard and domineering man, Henry V was vastly intolerant of opposition and could be cruel and ruthless whilst in pursuit of his policy. Deficiencies such as these that clashed with gallant traits robbed him of the regard as "the typical medieval hero;" yet his love of justice gives him the utmost of praise, and the writers in his time regarded him as a brave, loyal, upright man, an honorable fighter, and a commanding personality. Although quiet, personally lacking in warmth and a man who usually preferred his own company rather than one-on-one conversations, Henry V was capable of igniting sparks of devotion within others, an attribute (among many) that made him a good leader. He was genuine and "a true lover of the Holy Church," full of grace and fair to God. And in respect of his ability, Henry ranks high among other English Kings. His reign brought forth remarkable achievement: "he found a nation weak and drifting and after nine years left it dominant in Europe. Hitherto, a setback surfaced within his rule: him using his gifts to commit his country into a dubious foreign war rather than practical development.
In his Henry V, Shakespeare presents (in Henry) what he believes to be the ideal King. Ultimately, Henry is what can be defined as a hero. His story is one that epitomizes the English idea of a good and fair King. And to take it up a notch and emphasize the importance of a fair and humble King, Henry calls his fellow soldiers his, "brothers." He sets the precursor for the necessity for moral traits and justifications in all people, especially the ruler of a country. Shakespeare presents Henry as the image for future Kings and the values and ideals they should hold. To exactly perceive how Shakespeare presents Henry V as an ideal King, it is important to define the characteristics that compose one. Essentially, what makes Kings great are three basic rudiments: nobility, humility and strength. Nobility, in itself covers a vast number of traits, and an important part of it is morality. A good King is one with good morals, but a great King is one who adheres to his morals and has the ability to use them as building blocks within his rule. Moreover, nobility consists of kindness and forgiveness, for a King cannot be cold and ruthless without reason. Though it may not be the prime quality for a great King, Henry makes excellent use of humility. He enables realization in his people: that they too can be as their King for in all matters present he is human as well. The most obvious of the qualities is strength. This is a necessity for the ideal-King because when both his leadership and courage to rally up troops is in question, no one will think highly of him. A weak King finds shelter in civil destruction for there will always be a rebellious faction that needs to be kept in check by a King who isn't afraid to use force: a strong King. Said qualities are the epitomes of the ideal King and Shakespeare makes sure to let us know throughout Henry V that Henry V possessed all of them and many more. Apart from his qualities, the greatest of his achievements as a ruler was his transition from an irresponsible teenager to a grown, mature, and fitting ruler; phenomenal as it may be, it was not a simple task. This accomplishment was made light when he parted ways with his friends from the tavern mainly Falstaff who considered the monarch as an adopted son. Henry gave up his relations to the latter in order to better establish himself as a noble King. With strict morals to which to he abode, for Henry V, there was no room for compromise: just because he wanted to be with his friends.
With a clear conscience and the Lord by his side, Henry V had the Divine Right of Kings and is accountable only to God. However, he believed that his license of rule is not, merely based on his status as King, but equally on his ability to shoulder the requirements that came with his appointment: leading of the English people through shrewd and calculated decision making. A combination of both Richard II and Henry IV (his father) is displayed in the leadership ability of Henry V as he ascends to the throne. Richard mainly used his power for his own personal use, regardless of the state of the realm; while Henry IV in contrast, made all his decisions based on what he saw was best fit for his nation: wholly sure that he alone was capable of shaping England's destiny. Hence when the young Henry V receives the English crown after his father in 1413, he has a blend of both Richard II's divine right and his father's political complexity and is the embodiment of the perfect monarch that ruled over England. A combination of two different political philosophies is also put on display; a combination of the rigid Tudor doctrine (emphasis on the ruler's accountability to God) and the Machiavellian theory (only an exemplary statesman has the right to govern). Their synthesis makes the tetralogy: a political theory, a work of genius.
In the course of , King Henry persistently considers the position of God in his comings and goings of war. His constant meditation of God's perspective had incessantly guided his decisions and methods as ruler. The King's consideration of God eventually brings forth success for the English even though Providence may not have had the same effect as the soldiers and King perceived it to be. And although many have been argued that Henry often acted foolishly and impetuously when it came to war, it is also known that he also searched for God's wisdom whilst making decisions for his men and country. Henry V's faith in God uplifted his men to a certain extent that he was able to influence their hearts and thus securing his success in war.
The Webster Dictionary defines leadership as, "the power or ability to lead other people." And according to former Allied commander and former U.S. President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, "leadership is a power or ability: it includes the qualities of 'vision, integrity, courage, understanding, articulation and profundity of character' that make a great leader. Shakespeare's protagonist in Henry V, the monarch Henry V obtains greatness from said qualities which in turn inspired his men to follow him regardless, even when faced with difficult odds. His strong sense of duty, commitment to his men and a burning desire to win enabled King Henry's victory over the French. Henry V was one of the renowned kings in English history: an icon of chivalry, a conquering hero, an exemplar of kingship and supreme self-publicist whose image has always owed a debt to the one he encouraged; King Henry V is among the hallowed triumvirate of incredibly famous English monarchs. Unlike his two famous contemporaries, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, he forged his legend over a mere nine years with few long term effects of victory which led to many seeing something objectionable in the arrogantly determined and charismatic young king. He was undoubtedly a gifted man, one of few to shape history to his design, but his self-belief and ability came at the expense of personality. He was one of the great military commanders who acted from an authentic sense of right and not a cynical position but his aspiration may have dedicated him to treaties beyond his capability to put into effect. Although he didn't leave any long-term political or military legacy (despite all his achievements: uniting the nation around him, creating peace between crown and parliament and winning the French throne) what Henry did leave was a legend – one which later royals were taught to (and tried to) follow, and one which gave the public a national champion and a greatly improved general consciousness, credit in great part to his overture of the vernacular English into government. Even without Shakespeare's attention toward Henry V, he would still have fascinated modern readers; for even his childhood was highly eventful.
In this paper I will introduce one of the Shakespeare sonnets which is one of the most beautiful sonnets
