An original study of U.S. congressional elections and electoral institutions for 1872–1944 from a contemporary political science perspective

After the discovery of nine permanently unconscious people at a snowed-in tavern, the small town of Comatose seems entirely indifferent. With the town's police force woefully unprepared to tackle the enigma, the Mayor enlists the help of the Academy, an affluent university with a distinguished forensics team, and Paragon Private Investigations, an independent firm. But as citizens continue to fall prey to an invisible scourge and the Academy seems to only grow more powerful, it's up to Mayor Kaufmann, Melissa McCain of Paragon, and her assistant Calvin to uncover a conspiracy miles deep while Comatose plunges into chaos amidst a deadly marriage of fear and social engineering. Comatose is a fateful exploration on the effects of ignorance when vigilance is needed most and the fundamental flaws of isolating oneself from truth.

In 1803, Lewis and Clark were commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the uncharted United States westward. Not to mention kill every damn creature in their path. Now, the Pacific Coast is within sight, and their long and terrifying journey is almost over. There is just the matter of resolving their bargain with a demon É In 2013, CHRIS DINGESS and MATTHEW ROBERTS began their acclaimed historical adventure seriesÉnow, they conclude their adventure, and may God save our souls.

The title, Lost and Found hopefully resonates with every reader, especially parents who are probably most familiar with the expression. Since childhood I discovered that I'm a prodigy at losing random items--expensive and cheap: jackets, mittens, socks, watches, toys, book bags, lunch boxes--you name it, once upon a time, I left it behind somewhere.

In 1804, Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark began an expedition into the uncharted American frontier. This is the story of the monsters they discovered lurking in the wilds. Spring has sprung, and the Corps of Discovery is closing in on the Pacific! But new beginnings mean new horrors for Lewis and Clark, and out on the American plains, a sleeping beast has awoken!

Systems of record (SORs) are engines that generates value for your business. Systems of engagement (SOE) are always evolving and generating new customer-centric experiences and new opportunities to capitalize on the value in the systems of record. The highest value is gained when systems of record and systems of engagement are brought together to deliver insight. Systems of insight (SOI) monitor and analyze what is going on with various behaviors in the systems of engagement and information being stored or transacted in the systems of record. SOIs seek new opportunities, risks, and operational behavior that needs to be reported or have action taken to optimize business outcomes. Systems of insight are at the core of the Digital Experience, which tries to derive insights from the enormous amount of data generated by automated processes and customer interactions. Systems of Insight can also provide the ability to apply analytics and rules to real-time data as it flows within, throughout, and beyond the enterprise (applications, databases, mobile, social, Internet of Things) to gain the wanted insight. Deriving this insight is a key step toward being able to make the best decisions and take the most appropriate actions. Examples of such actions are to improve the number of satisfied clients, identify clients at risk of leaving and incentivize them to stay loyal, identify patterns of risk or fraudulent behavior and take action to minimize it as early as possible, and detect patterns of behavior in operational systems and transportation that lead to failures, delays, and maintenance and take early action to minimize risks and costs. IBM® Operational Decision Manager is a decision management platform that provides capabilities that support both event-driven insight patterns, and business-rule-driven scenarios. It also can easily be used in combination with other IBM Analytics solutions, as the detailed examples will show. IBM Operational Decision Manager Advanced, along with complementary IBM software offerings that also provide capability for systems of insight, provides a way to deliver the greatest value to your customers and your business. IBM Operational Decision Manager Advanced brings together data from different sources to recognize meaningful trends and patterns. It empowers business users to define, manage, and automate repeatable operational decisions. As a result, organizations can create and shape customer-centric business moments. This IBM Redbooks® publication explains the key concepts of systems of insight and how to implement a system of insight solution with examples. It is intended for IT architects and professionals who are responsible for implementing a systems of insights solution requiring event-based context pattern detection and deterministic decision services to enhance other analytics solution components with IBM Operational Decision Manager Advanced.

Lewis et Clark ne furent pas les premiers à monter et à mener une expédition vers l'Ouest... Ni même - en l'occurrence - les premiers à rencontrer le plus grand des mammifères vivant sur Terre : le Sasquatch ! Nombreux sont ceux qui prétendent avoir croisé la route de cette créature légendaire. Il est grand temps de rejoindre ceux qui ont établi le premier contact avec lui...

This book challenges the assumption – just as alive today as it was in the nineteenth century – that the political sphere was an arena of reason in which feelings had no part to play. It shows that feelings were a central, albeit contested, aspect of the political culture of the period. Radical leaders were accused of inflaming the passions; the state and its propertied supporters were charged with callousness; radicals grounded their claims to citizenship in the universalist assumption that workers had the same capacity for feeling as their social betters (denied at this time). It sheds new light on the relationship between protest movements and the state by showing how one of the central issues at stake in the conflict between radicals and their oppressors was the feelings of the propertied classes.
