Manifest Destiny

This edited collection explores absence, presence and remembrance in British political culture and memory studies. Comprehensive in its scope, it covers the entire modern period, bringing together the 19th and 20th centuries as well as Britain, Ireland and the Atlantic World. As the first comparative and in-depth study to explore the central and contested place of memory and the invention of tradition in modern British politics, chapters include memorialisation, statue-mania, anniversaries and on the wider impact and invoking of 'dead generations'. In doing so, this book provides a new, exciting and accessible way of engaging with the history of British political culture.

Commemoration, Tradition, Legacy

Memory and Modern British Politics

Chartism, the British mass movement for democratic and social rights in the 1830s and 1840s, was profoundly shaped by the radical tradition from which it emerged. Yet, little attention has been paid to how Chartists saw themselves in relation to this diverse radical tradition or to the ways in which they invented their own tradition. Paine, Cobbett and other 'founding fathers', dead and alive, were used and in some cases abused by Chartists in their own attempts to invent a radical tradition. By drawing on new and exciting work in the fields of visual and material culture; cultures of heroism, memory and commemoration; critical heritage studies; and the history of political thought, this book explores the complex cultural work that radical heroes were made to perform.

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.

Casey Stoner

Per la prima volta Casey Stoner si racconta in questa autobiografia scritta con la collaborazione di Matt Roberts, giornalista e cronista della BBC. L'esplosiva storia dell'australiano due volte Campione del Mondo MotoGP, nel 2007 in sella a una Ducati, dimostra come tutto è possibile quando la determinazione incontra il talento. Stoner si mette a "nudo" e ci racconta le tappe principali della sua vita: proveniente da una famiglia appassionata di motociclismo, fa la prima gara a soli 4 anni e dopo il trasferimento in Europa si pone un solo obiettivo: diventare campione del mondo. Il padre, dal carattere duro, lo obbligava alla totale dedizione allo sport per trasformarlo in un vincitore. Oggi Stoner ammette: "Fu un bombardamento psicologico per nulla sano." Stoner non ha paura di esprimere le proprie opinioni anche sul mondo del motociclismo, in alcuni casi rivelando anche verità scomode: la gerarchia dei piloti, la politica delle corse, i colleghi e l'incapacità di gestire la perdita della privacy dopo la vittoria del mondiale in moto gp. Tutte le ragioni che lo hanno portato alla decisione di abbandonare la carriera perché deluso dall'ambiente falso e ipocrita che circonda questo sport, voltando così le spalle, a soli 27 anni ad un contratto multimilionario. Un racconto unico e straordinario fatto di sacrificio e tenacia per raggiungere un impensabile successo, la storia ispiratrice di un giovane australiano che ha affrontato il mondo a modo suo e ha vinto. "La gente si aspetta che mi sia solo preso un anno sabbatico, ma niente è più lontano dalla verità. Le cose stanno tornando alla normalità, anche se lentamente. Non si tratta di essere ingrato, ma il denaro non conta nulla per me. Non ho mai corso per soldi, sempre per passione. Quando questa è venuta a mancare, per me era finita. "
