Series editors: Clare Birchall (University of Kent), Gary Hall (Coventry University), Joanna Zylinska (Goldsmiths, University of London) Funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), and published by Open Humanities Press (OHP) ( Living Books About Life is a series of curated, open access books about life -- with life understood both philosophically and biologically -- which provide a bridge between the humanities and the sciences.
Produced by a globally-distributed network of writers and editors, the books in the series repackage existing open access science research by clustering it around selected topics whose unifying theme is life: e.g., air, agriculture, bioethics, cosmetic surgery, electronic waste, energy, neurology and pharmacology. By creating twenty one ‘living books about life’ in just seven months, the series represents an exciting new model for publishing, in a sustainable, low-cost manner, many more such books in the future.

The Web 2.0 Summit Map - The Data Frame. Building data science teams. Starting in 2008, Jeff Hammerbacher (@hackingdata) and I sat down to share our experiences building the data and analytics groups at Facebook and LinkedIn. In many ways, that meeting was the start of data science as a distinct professional specialization (see the“What makes a data scientist” section of this report for the story on how we came up with the title “Data Scientist”).
Since then, data science has taken on a life of its own. The hugely positive response to “What Is Data Science? ,” a great introduction to the meaning of data science in today’s world, showed that we were at the start of a movement. There are now regular meetups, well-established startups, and even college curricula focusing on data science. This increase in the demand for data scientists has been driven by the success of the major Internet companies. Courtesy LinkedIn Corp. Being data driven Everyone wants to build a data-driven organization. There are many ways to assess whether an organization is data driven. Web 2.0 Summit Blog » Blog Archive » Points of Control: The Map. As themes for conferences go, Points of Control is one of our favorites.
Our industry over the past year has been driven by increasingly direct conflicts between its major players: Apple has emerged as a major force in mobile and advertising platforms; Google is fighting off Microsoft in search, Apple in mobile and Facebook in social; and Facebook itself finds itself on the defensive against Twitter and scores of location startups like Foursquare. Nor are the Internet’s biggest players the only ones in the game – the rise of tablet computing has revived nearly every major hardware and handset manufacturer, and the inevitable march of online payment and commerce has roused the financial services giants as well.
You know we’re in interesting times when American Express is considered an insurgent in its own industry. The result of our initial efforts is pictured above, you can go to the complete map here. But you have to start somewhere. Browse by Topic. Ruminations on the Borderlands of Cartography. The question is often asked “What is a map?” Out here on the Edge, the question might just as well be asked “What is not a map?” Before getting involved in that, let me propose the metaphor of the Map Family Picnic. A metaphor is not an analog and some poetic license has to be granted. For those who are not familiar with family picnics, they are generally gatherings of individuals who are related by “blood” or marriage, often claiming a common descent from some historic individual. With this in mind, let's become gatekeepers at the Map Family Picnic and decide who gets in and who gets left out.
All the Rand McNally, Hammond, General Drafting, Bartholemew, etc. maps get ushered right in. Now come a gaggle of cartifacts. Something more vexing is the cartogram. Here we may have the beginnings of the family resemblence. Let's say the bar graph really wants to get in and comes back in a different guise. Now let's say the bar graph has a little outline of the country at the top of each bar. Web-based Arabic Transliteration. To swap between Roman and Arabic mode in this text box, hit ctl-' (that's control and apostrophe). The box will shade blue when it's in Arabic mode. From there, type Roman letters that look like the Arabic ones you want.
Play around with it and you'll probably figure it out. Some tips: Use capitals for pharyngealized ("heavy", "hard") consonants like ص. Bookmarklet This is also available as a bookmarklet. Then clicking on this bookmarklet on any site ought to allow the ctl-' shortcut to work on any text area. Urdu See also: Faried Nawaz's Urdu version. Feedback This mapping is based only on my intuition. Sqoop - Overview : Apache Sqoop (Incubating) Using Hadoop for analytics and data processing requires loading data into clusters and processing it in conjunction with other data that often resides in production databases across the enterprise.
Loading bulk data into Hadoop from production systems or accessing it from map reduce applications running on large clusters can be a challenging task. Users must consider details like ensuring consistency of data, the consumption of production system resources, data preparation for provisioning downstream pipeline. Transferring data using scripts is inefficient and time consuming.
Directly accessing data residing on external systems from within the map reduce applications complicates applications and exposes the production system to the risk of excessive load originating from cluster nodes. This is where Apache Sqoop fits in. The following command is used to import all data from a table called ORDERS from a MySQL database: The import is done in two steps as depicted in Figure 1 below.

This is part of a series of posts to share with readers a useful collection of some of the most important, effective and practical data visualisation resources. This post presents the first part of a collection of books that have had most influence on my knowledge about data visualisation and its many closely-related subject areas.
The selection presented includes only the books I own or I have read from a library – I have decided to exclude any books I’ve not yet read, even if they might be on other reading lists. However, I will add emerging texts to the collection as and when I get to them. This collection should be read alongside part two and part three. The categories used to organise and group the books simply represents an instinctive and personal view for how they have proven valuable to me – I appreciate they could be/will be argued, debated and refined but it will never be perfect!
The books in each section are typically sequenced alphabetically. October 13th, 2011 in resources. GeoNames. L’Indice Ibrahim » Fondation Mo Ibrahim. Videos about Django - The Web framework | DjangoVideos.com.
