Investigations of a Dog Nov 4, 2016

by Franz Kafka , Philipp Strazny

$2.99

"Investigations of a Dog" (German: "Forschungen eines Hundes") is a short story by Franz Kafka (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) written in 1922. It was published posthumously in 1931. Kafka wanted his unfinished manuscripts to be destroyed by his friend Max Brod, who nonetheless published them after Kafka's death, including this one.
In "Investigations of a Dog", a dog tells of his attempts to make sense of his life and condition in the most rational and scientific manner of which he is capable. The reader knows things that the dog in his limited understanding cannot grasp, which creates dramatic irony. With numerous self-contradictory statements by the dog and hilarious word choices (for example, mentioning scientific pursuits and basest body functions in one breath), the story presents a humorous and timelessly valid reflection on anthropocentrism and scientific hubris. And when you take your dog for a walk next time, you may be less impatient when it insists on lots of conscientious inspection in selecting the best place for watering the ground...
In contrast to previous efforts, the present translation attempts to transport Kafka's poetically plain language into modern usage, avoiding Latinate terminology that would lend the text pretensions that the original simply does not have.

BI and Big Data Management Dec 17, 2017

by Ulrich Hambuch , Philipp Strazny

$10.00

Companies increasingly recognize that the analysis of business information (business intelligence) can generate decisive competitive advantages. In addition, the compliance guidelines BCBS 239, Basel II and III, SOX, and Solvency II have led to legal requirements for a minimum level of quality in reporting and planning data and processes. The establishment of enterprise-wide data management thus continues to be one of the major challenges for IT and management in the years to come.

Data quality is an integral success factor in the establishment of an optimal information infrastructure. A 2002 study from "The Data Warehousing Institutes" (TDWI) calculates that poor data quality in the US cost about $622 billion. Gartner market research stated in 2006: Poor data quality costs a typical organization 20% of revenue….

The worldwide financial and economic crisis after 2007 can retrospectively also be regarded as a data quality crisis. Despite far-reaching compliance requirements, many financial service companies have not been able to aggregate and prepare their risk data in a way to adequately control their risks, and they are still struggling in 2017.

In the era of Big Data, data is viewed as the new oil and the available data volume worldwide multiplies every year. The requirements for transparency and data stream quality continue to increase, because these are considered essential for partially or completely new applications in decision support and other areas.

But what use are larger data piles when quality and origin remain uncertain and when the costs for development and operation in data maintenance, integration, and analysis are proportional to the data volume?

"Data quality is not everything, but without quality of data, it is all nothing."

Metadata and metadata management are important aids for ensuring adequate data quality.

The goal of this book is to take the current concepts and trends and tune th

$4.00

Why do I think that I can give you advice on low-budget traveling? After paying for flight tickets, I set out on my great journey with less than $8,000. Along the way, I earned a few additional bucks. If you factor in my Round the World Ticket, my eight months pretty much ended up costing me $9,100 in total. In principle you could travel even more economically, but I was truly on the go at all times, made numerous excursions, and saw and experienced a ton. I visited four continents and 13 countries. In South America alone, I covered more than 12,000 miles in overland buses. Traveling on a Low Budget is a supplement to My Trip Around the World - A Dream Come True, a book about the emotional side, the ups and downs of my world trip. It's about me, my experiences, and how I handled them, and perhaps also about how these experiences made me a new person.

Traveling on a Low Budget is a guide for all low-budget travelers. It contains tips and tricks for saving money in the following areas:
