Union General John A. McClernand and the Politics of Command
Christopher C. Meyers
McFarland Co Inc
2010
pokkari
John A. McClernand was a career politician, and those ambitions and qualities continued during his Civil War service. A member of the Illinois General Assembly and a U.S. Representative for 10 years, McClernard was connected to other prominent figures of the time such as Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. However, he is best known for his rivalry with Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, and this biography balances McClernard's political career with his military leadership and his place in the Union command structure.

One of major league baseball's first Native American stars, John Tortes "Chief" Meyers (1880-1971) was the hard-hitting, award-winning catcher for John McGraw's New York Giants from 1908 to 1915 and later for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He appeared in four World Series and remains heralded for his role as the trusted battery mate of legendary pitcher Christy Mathewson. Unlike other Native American players who eschewed their tribal identities to escape prejudice, Meyers--a member of the Santa Rosa Band of the Cahuilla Tribe of California--remained proud of his heritage and became a tribal leader after his major league career. This first full biography explores John Tortes Meyers's Cahuilla roots and early life, his year at Dartmouth College, his outstanding baseball career, his life after baseball, and his remarkable legacy.

A Primer on Opportunism Viewed from the Perspective of Multi-Agent Systems
John-Jules Ch Meyer; Jieting Luo
Eliva Press
2020
nidottu
Opportunistic behavior is a selfish behavior that takes advantage of knowledge asymmetry and results in promoting agents' own value but demoting other agents' value. It commonly exists in business transactions and social interactions, thereby gaining much attention and investigation from social science. In the context of multi-agent systems, it is normal that knowledge is distributed among different agents, which creates the opportunity for agents to perform opportunistic behavior to other agents. Since opportunistic behavior has undesirable results for other agents in the system, the aim of this book is to eliminate such a selfish behavior from the system. We first propose a formal account of opportunism based on the situation calculus to have a thorough understanding of opportunism. Because opportunistic behavior has undesirable results for other agents in the system but cannot be observed indirectly, there has to be a monitoring mechanism that can detect the performance of opportunistic behavior. We secondly provide a logical framework to specify monitoring approaches for opportunism. In order for monitoring and eliminating mechanisms to be put in place, it is important to know in which context agents will or are likely to perform opportunistic behavior. Therefore, we develop a framework to reason about agents' opportunistic propensity. Finally, we reach our goal through designing two mechanisms for eliminating opportunism.
*This book is in the Rapid Communications in Conflict and Security (RCCS) Series (General Editor: Thomas G. Mahnken; Founding Editor: Geoffrey R.H. Burn)Beginning in 2010, a public debate emerged about the role of so-called mainland strikes in any US military strategy toward China. Mainland strikes refer to wartime attacks on military targets located on the Chinese mainland with non-nuclear ("conventional") weapons. This debate arose as American military strategists began to confront the implications of growing Chinese military power. Potential strategies were often defined, at least partially, by their relationship to and views toward mainland strikes. Some strategies assumed that an American president, and their advisers, would be willing to authorize or recommend mainland strikes in a future war with China. This course of action emphasized the procurement of a military force optimized to carry out these mainland strikes. Other strategies assumed an extreme unwillingness to recommend mainland strikes. These strategies called for building and training a military force capable of operational tasks other than mainland strikes.This book investigates the soundness of these two contradictory assumptions about mainland strikes so that strategists and American military planners can better understand the course of a future US-China war. This is a war that will hopefully never occur due, in part, to sound American military planning that maintains deterrence. Armed with knowledge about the conditions that make mainland strikes more or less likely, both military and civilian decision-makers can create better military strategy toward China.

All Marketing Is Local: A common Sense Approach To Marketing Your Business

A common sense approach to marketing your business. Tip O'Neil was Speaker of the House during the presidencies of Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. He said "All politics is local." "We can start solving national problems by making connections at our own grassroots level". "Because," he said, "all politics is local." The key word is "connections". National advertising and marketing can be great, but if it isn't connecting with your local customer it is not working. I always come back to a vision from the 1950's of two neighbor women talking over the waist high fence. They're talking about everything from what's new with the family to their favorite store, car and dish soap. That is true word of mouth marketing and truly reinforces that all marketing is local. All Marketing Is Local is a common sense approach to marketing your business. Discussions around Mass Media, Print advertising, Direct mail, trade shows, website, digital and online media, search engine optimization, email marketing, social media, and word of mouth.
