Amazon, the online retail behemoth that has made a much-publicized foray into publishing, has just bought Goodreads, the social book-recommendation site.
"Amazon and Goodreads share a passion for reinventing reading," Russ Grandinetti, Amazon vice president for Kindle Content, said in a statement on Thursday. "Goodreads has helped change how we discover and discuss books and, with Kindle, Amazon has helped expand reading around the world."
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The statement said the deal would close in the second quarter of 2013.
On Goodreads' blog, co-founder Otis Chandler called the move exciting.
"We truly could not think of a more perfect partner for Goodreads as we both share a love of books and an appreciation for the authors who write them," he said.
Here's more from his post:
"I'm excited about this for three reasons:
1. With the reach and resources of Amazon, Goodreads can introduce more readers to our vibrant community of book lovers and create an even better experience for our members.
2. Our members have been asking us to bring the Goodreads experience to an e-reader for a long time. Now we're looking forward to bringing Goodreads to the most popular e-reader in the world, Kindle, and further reinventing what reading can be.
3. Amazon supports us continuing to grow our vision as an independent entity, under the Goodreads brand and with our unique culture."
Chandler said one of the top priorities after the sale would be integrating Amazon's Kindle e-reader with Goodreads. The social reading site has 16 million members. It was founded in 2007 by Chandler and the woman who later became his wife, Elizabeth Khuri Chandler.
A New York Times story from earlier this year examined book websites like Goodreads and had this to say:
"Goodreads and smaller similar sites are addressing what publishers call the 'discoverability' problem: How do you guide consumers to books they might want to read? The digital age has created online retail sites that are overflowing with new books, leaving readers awash in unknown titles.
"At the same time the number of bookstores has shrunk considerably, depriving customers of the ability to browse or ask staff members for guidance.
"For a long time Amazon, the largest online bookseller, dominated the digital discovery zone through its book reviews, recommendations and displays on its home page. But Amazon has lost some trust among readers recently amid concerns that its reviews and recommendations can contain hidden agendas."
Amazon, of course, started as an online bookseller and now sells everything from cameras to banana slicers. Recently, it announced it was entering the world of original film and TV series. But it is its actions in the world of books that have raised the hackles of traditional publishers as well as its rivals.
Thursday's news comes just weeks after Hachette Book Group, Penguin Group (USA) and Simon & Schuster joined forces to launch their own book-recommendation site, Bookish. It also follows Amazon's bid to claim new Internet domains such as ".book," ".author," and ".read" — attempts that are being fought by the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers, as NPR's Annalisa Quinn noted recently.
And as NPR's Lynn Neary reported last December, Amazon is among the biggest winner in the world of self-publishing. That's an area in which Goodreads already has expertise.
In a 2008 story on NPR's All Things Considered, Goodreads' Chandler talked about the site's "author" program, which was created specifically for members who write books.
"It's ending up being a really great way for authors — especially smaller, self-published authors — to build a fan base," he said.
Indeed, Hugh Howey, the sci-fi writer who self-published his best-selling book Wool through Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing system and got the word out about the work through Goodreads, was one of three people to be quoted in the joint news release announcing Thursday's deal.
"I just found out my two favorite people are getting married," he said. "The best place to discuss books is joining up with the best place to buy books — To Be Read piles everywhere must be groaning in anticipation."

Total Car Care
Batteries are the backbone of the electrical system and work the hardest in cold weather. If you live in an exceptionally cold climate, you may want to consider upgrading to the largest capacity available for your vehicle.
Make sure the battery is securely mounted because vibrations can have an impact on the batterys performance and life. The battery and connections should be checked at every oil change (and are inspected as part of AAMCO's ProtectCheck). Unlike other components in your car or truck, the battery does not give warning signs when it is near failure. However, if it is hard to start, or you experience a delay after turning the key in the ignition, have your battery checked as soon as possible. Please refer to your owners manual for factory recommended maintenance intervals for your specific vehicle. Your local AAMCO center can provide you with a comprehensive starting, charging and battery test.

One to think about… maybe??? 🙂
WHAT Do Women Want??
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.
The question?…What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.
Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer.
But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!
Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur
He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:
What a woman really wants, she answered….is to be in charge of her own life.
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.
And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened
The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.
Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day….or night?
Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?
What would YOU do?
What Lancelot chose is below.
BUT….make YOUR choice before you scroll down below.
Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.
Now….what is the moral to this story?
Scroll down
The moral is…..
If you don't let a woman have her own way….
Things are going to get ugly

Real-world techniques for analyzing big data
Interview with author and professor Bart Baesens (Part 1)
If you have questions about the way big data and analytics are being applied today, Professor Bart Baesens is a good person to ask. Baesens is a professor at KU Leuven in Belgium and a lecturer at the University of Southampton (United Kingdom). He does extensive research on analytics, customer relationship management, web analytics, fraud detection and credit risk management. His findings have been published in well-known journals and presented at international conferences. He also regularly tutors, advises and provides consulting support to international firms with respect to their analytics and credit risk management strategy.
Baesens draws on all of these experiences in his new book, Analytics in a Big Data World: The Essential Guide to Data Science and Its Applications. We caught up with him recently to learn a little about what's included in the book, trends he's seeing with big data, and how organizations can modernize for analytics.
In order to fully leverage the power of analytics, two things are important: first, education of business users and secondly, visualization.
Bart Baesens
Professor and Author
KU Leuven in Belgium and
University of Southampton
Name two analytics techniques that provide the most value for analyzing big data in business environments.
Bart Baesens: Logistic regression has been the most valuable method traditionally, and social network analysis could be the most valuable technique in the future. Let me explain both in more detail.
Logistic regression has long been a popular analytical technique for doing classification. Example classification exercises include credit scoring, fraud detection, churn prediction and response modeling. In my research and consulting activities, I have found that logistic regression is a powerful technique with excellent explanation facilities that clarify its success.
I would guess every person is scored at least three times every day using a logistic regression model: once in a behavioral scorecard at your bank to predict whether you are going to default or not in the next 12 months for each of your credit products, once by your telco operator to predict whether you are going to leave them or not in the next three months, and once by your credit card provider each time you use your credit card.
Looking forward, I expect a lot of value from social network analytics. When I say social networks, I am not only referring to social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. In fact, I am referring to any network of nodes (such as customers or companies) connected in a certain way [see image to the right].
For example, in a telco setting, the network could be built based upon call detail records data, where the nodes represent customers and the edges the phone connections between them. In a fraud detection setting, the nodes could be bank accounts and the edges money transfers between them.
Throughout our recent research with various companies, we have found significant added value from using social network analytics in churn prediction and fraud detection, compared to the traditional ways of doing analytics in both these settings. That's why I also spent an entire chapter in my book on the topic of social network analytics.
What visual analytics techniques are most useful for big data? How does seeing and touching big data with visual analytics make it more approachable for average business users?
Baesens: Currently, there is a huge gap between analytics and business users. In order to fully leverage the power of analytics, two things are important: first, education of business users and secondly, visualization.
Without proper visualization aids, analytical projects are doomed to fail! Although visualization has been very popular during data pre-processing, we see it gaining importance during post-processing. Visualization encompasses both the representation of the analytical model itself as well as the accompanying reports needed for model monitoring, benchmarking and back testing.
Popular and user-friendly visualization mechanisms frequently adopted in model representation are decision trees and traffic light indicator approaches. For model monitoring, we see online analytical processing, multidimensional data analysis and digital dashboards becoming popular to monitor and analyze the various model KPIs online and in real time, as discussed in a separate chapter in my book.
Organizations are modernizing for big data in different ways, from cloud to grid to in-memory. What is your advice for IT organizations that haven't made the leap to modernize yet but would like to?
Baesens: Big data and analytics are disruptive technologies, and they should be introduced in a wise manner. A couple of things are important here. The first thing I would say is to make sure you have a proper change management strategy to make the transition smooth. It makes no sense to buy extensive toolsets without being capable to use them. As described in my book, analytics is a step-by-step project and one should carefully consider each step before being successful. Also, I believe the demand for big data and analytics should come from the business, because that is where it's going to end up being used.
The next important thing is education. Educating all stakeholders and decision makers by making them aware of what analytics can or cannot do, and describing the key challenges involved, is very important. This will make sure that expectations are properly set at the start of the analytics project.
Throughout the past few years, I have had a successful (and pleasant) experience teaching analytics concepts to business leaders through various Business Knowledge Series courses. We see a very strong need for this and are currently working on migrating some of our classes to e-learning to provide wider coverage.
Finally, corporate governance is also key. The whole big data exercise should be closely monitored and supervised by senior managers. I have seen quite a bit of big data and analytics projects fail because of lack of higher support in the organization. They should be actively involved throughout the whole exercise. In this context, we hear more and more about the need for a Chief Analytics Officer, which I definitely think is a good thing.

What is social network analysis?
Social networks are typically illustrated through a series of nodes and ties that show how the different nodes are connected. In this example, Bart Baesens is discussing the viral effect of churn. The nodes (or circles) are individual mobile customers, and the ties show how each person can influence other customers' decisions to switch mobile carriers.

Easy to use
The Painting-by-Number kits are very easy to use, so you can get started on your creation straight away. Before you start making your painting, make sure the canvas is flat and free of creases. Ironing the canvas flat makes it easier to paint the squares and apply the paint more precisely. The rest is very simple, put on some music, turn on a series, and paint away! We recommend filling in all the squares of one colour completely first, as soon as one colour is finished, move on to the next squares. This way, you don't have to wash your brushes as often and you get the best results. Have you finished your painting? Then you should let it dry for at least a day to avoid stains and achieve the best result. Once your painting has dried, you can place it wherever you want.
Personalised Paint by numbers
Haven't found anything in our extensive range that suits you? Then don't grieve... Make a Personalised Paint by numbers.

Transactions are built into the core of NexusDB. Every (data manipulating) interaction with NexusDB occurs within the context of a transaction. Using transactions you can maintain the integrity of your data within NexusDB. You can commit multiple changes to NexusDB in a unified operation or, in the event of an error or exceptional condition, rollback all the changes cleanly.
Snapshot transactions
NexusDB has taken transactions to the next level with Snapshot transactions. A NexusDB exclusive, Snapshot transactions enable a consistent view of the database without locks of any kind. It works by creating a snapshot of the buffer blocks when subsequent transactions modify data. Using Snapshot transactions, writing does not block reading and reading does not block writing. Maximum concurrency and throughput is achieved without compromising data consistency. Snapshot transactions are used in SQL SELECT statements so all your queries leverage these benefits automatically.
Nested transactions
NexusDB also supports nested transactions. What this means to you is more flexibility and simplicity in handling of error conditions. With nested transactions you can partition your operations naturally and respond to errors along those boundaries. You can easily roll back the inner transaction and continue with further modifications while preserving the modifications made in you outer transactions. This is particularly useful when dealing with complex data manipulation logic that requires several alternative paths.
Fail-safe needed?
In addition, NexusDB supports a complete implementation of the two-phase commit protocol to ensure data integrity under the most rigorous conditions. Using fail-safe transactions, NexusDB writes to a journal file first and then updates the core database. This means that even if you pull the plug, your data will be brought back to a consistent state: reconstructed from the journal or rolled back to the previous values.
NexusDB has the most comprehensive transactional support
for the Delphi/C++Builder developer today.
