1What do the Victorian novel and the stock-market graph have in common? In The Affective Life of the Average Man: The Victorian Novel and the Stock-Market Graph, ,,Audrey Jaffe explores the influence on modern subjectivity of an economic and emotional discourse constructed by both the Victorian novel and the stock market. The book shows how the novel and the market define character as fundamentally vicarious, and how the graphs, tickers, and pulses that represent the stock market function for us, as the novel did for the Victorians, as both representation and source of collective expectations and emotions. A rereading of key Victorian texts, this volume is also a rereading of the relation between Victorian and contemporary culture, describing the way contemporary accounts of such phenomena as frauds, bubbles, and the economics of happiness reproduce Victorian narratives and assumptions about character. Jaffe draws on the work of nineteenth- and twentieth-century economic and political theorists, popular discourse about the stock market, and novelistic representations of emotion and identity to offer new readings of George Eliot's Middlemarch, Anthony Trollope's The Prime Minister, and Charles Dickens's David Copperfield and Little Dorrit. Charting a new understanding of the relation between money, emotions, and identity, The Affective Life of the Average Man makes a significant contribution to Victorian studies, economic criticism, and the study of the history and representation of emotion.

Club Promoting - The shady organization that lies behind the scenes of the world's biggest nightclubs where men, who are chosen, go to transform themselves from loser and reject to undoubtedly irresistible with the opposite sex. Waking up at 21 years old, Connor (Selna Kim) McCanless realized he would be a failure forever with the opposite sex unless he did something about it. In less than 2 years, he was able to turn his life completely around, starting with discovering a secret organization. One that laid in the shadows, pulling the strings behind the success of the Midwest's most famous clubs. 'Letter-Jay' was a codename for a member that had all of the secrets behind meeting, attracting, dating, and winning the heart of the women he's always dreamed of. They met as kids when they both were living broke and next to an Indianapolis train yard, but Jay had weaseled his way from poverty to riches in 18 months using only his attraction, seduction, and networking skills. The Midwest recruited him to pack the clubs with people; beginning to make most people's monthly income in just a few nights. Learning under Letter-Jay for a few months, he unlocked the secrets to spark desire with any woman. When Letter-Jay began to notice his rapid acceleration in success with the opposite sex, he was introduced by Letter-Jay to the top dog - the leader of the industry. They quickly witnessed Kim's potential, classifying him a permanent spot in this community as 'Letter-C'. Discovering the other members, who were on par if not better than Letter-Jay, including Letter-H, X, Z and more, Letter-C sapped their skills and knowledge with the opposite sex. These skills catastrophically impacted the clubbing industry, bringing finer women into the clubs and more men that followed them in there. With that, it became a lifestyle of private jets, raves, VIP, models, and celebrities. Clubs across the Midwest hired them to turn their gasping-for-air clubs into region hot spots. He joined the community to find love, but he became addicted, cold, and dark. Power created greed, and it was rotting him. Either he would relearn what it takes to love, or dive so deep into greed that he would lose himself forever. "This stuff is powerful material," Selna Kim quotes. "It's the gateway to becoming the man all men want to be and all women desire. Use this power for good, for if you let it use you then it will consume you, it will hurt others, and it will leave you with nothing."

A New York Times Bestseller An audacious, irreverent investigation of human behavior—and a first look at a revolution in the making Our personal data has been used to spy on us, hire and fire us, and sell us stuff we don’t need. In Dataclysm, Christian Rudder uses it to show us who we truly are. For centuries, we’ve relied on polling or small-scale lab experiments to study human behavior. Today, a new approach is possible. As we live more of our lives online, researchers can finally observe us directly, in vast numbers, and without filters. Data scientists have become the new demographers. In this daring and original book, Rudder explains how Facebook "likes" can predict, with surprising accuracy, a person’s sexual orientation and even intelligence; how attractive women receive exponentially more interview requests; and why you must have haters to be hot. He charts the rise and fall of America’s most reviled word through Google Search and examines the new dynamics of collaborative rage on Twitter. He shows how people express themselves, both privately and publicly. What is the least Asian thing you can say? Do people bathe more in Vermont or New Jersey? What do black women think about Simon & Garfunkel? (Hint: they don’t think about Simon & Garfunkel.) Rudder also traces human migration over time, showing how groups of people move from certain small towns to the same big cities across the globe. And he grapples with the challenge of maintaining privacy in a world where these explorations are possible. Visually arresting and full of wit and insight, Dataclysm is a new way of seeing ourselves—a brilliant alchemy, in which math is made human and numbers become the narrative of our time.
